The same economy that grew in Q3 2023?

The same country that all the rating agencies have put as stable or upgraded

My friend you’re clearly IPOB

Na so these imperialist dey use una brain

Rajman45:
With all your grammar, don't forget that Benin is oldest empire in Nigeria, before the birth of Ife empire.

There was nothing like Ife empire. Even Oyo empire was fraud. Benin empire ruled Owo, Akure, Lagos

ImperialYoruba:
Under the suzerainty of Ife Empire, Benin Kingdom was used to civilize Edo people.

Since its independence from Ife, Benin has not been able to forge new developments on its own. This has resulted in stagnation and isolation of the Kingdom. The impact is a retrograde in political and social gains in the Edo society. They continue to focus and hope on a renaissance for the powerless Oba.

They dream hopelessly of a return to old glorious days when Yoruba rescued them and re-ordered their destiny. It is impossible to revert, that tie is severed for ever, but the obstinate Edo slave is not going to simply give up just like that.

If Oba of Benin told them his mecca is Ife, the home of his ancestors, they will cease slaving for him. An Oba must always be sorrounded by slaves to perpetuate power.

So do not beat them too much, Edos are only living their destinies as slaves to children of Oranmiyan.

Which one is Ife empire again. Make una de decieve unaselves.

Yoruba and Igbo Languages are related

Akuko means cock not hen in Yoruba
In Igbo it means same thing

Òkúta means stone in Yoruba
Okwute in Igbo

Enu means mouth Yoruba
Onu In igbó

Omi, water in Yoruba
Mmiri, In Igbó

Aka means hand or arm in local Yoruba dialect (Akure, Ekiti)

Aká means hand in Igbo

Ewurẹ is goat in Yoruba

Ewu is goat in Igbo

All those similarities u mentioned in other languages are just coincidences, but when they mean or refer to the same thing it's not a coincidence

I am a Linguist

Cock is Okuko in Igbo not Akuko
Rock/stone is actually Nkume in Igbo, Okwute is Anambra dialect

Raydos:
I know there has been a lot of controversies about "Èkó" being A Benin name, But this is very far from the truth!

Eko is a Yoruba name

Eko is a Contraction of the Yoruba word 'Ereko" meaning a Farming village or Dependency (Eri Oko)

Eko Akete — Lagos Island LG, Lagos State
Eko Ende — Ifelodun LG, Osun State
Ekosin — Odo Otin LG, Osun State
Eko Ajala — Ifelodun LG, Osun State
Ekotedo — Ido LG, Oyo State
Eko Kan — Shaki West LG, Oyo State
Oko Eko —
Ijebu East LG, Ogun State



All these Ekos scattered across Yorubaland were established independently without knowledge about any of the others but all happen to have the same 'Eko' Element because of their common denominator which is the Yorùbá language and culture which they all belong to

Ekosodin , Benin City

We say no to mud house in Igboland

Ttipsy:
I think it’s time SE governors start Town planning

Some Villas in SE are potential urban centers in future

Those cluster of densely populated villages are considered as urban areas by Google and other international organizations

Zeebuy:
Not actually a big deal. Leave the nonsense you hear from emptyheads on nairaland, there are a large number of Yorubas in igboland.

My former landlord is a Yoruba man from Osun State. I was his tenant at MCC road, Owerri. Last I heard, he's building another block of flats at Orji.

1 of my mechanic friends is a Yoruba man, married to an Igbo woman.

My licencing office plug is a Yoruba woman. She and her husband and kids live at ikenegbu

The electrician who did the wiring of my factory is a Yoruba man

An associate of mine who is the engineer who built that new hotel at Yar adua drive, just before that left turn, is a Yoruba man. Has been living in Owerri for more than 6 years.

The parcel of land next to where my factory is located was bought by a Yoruba man. They've started developing it, I heard it's a school.

The biggest provision store in my street is owned by a Yoruba woman. I won't forget last month when her hefty husband beat up 1 stupid boy on front of the boy's house. The boy is Igbo, but no one did anything or tried to attack the man, because the stupid boy deserved the beating

There are many many more, but some people here will make you think no Yorubas live in igboland. The average Igbo man doesn't care, as long as you don't threaten his family or his source of livelihood.


Some people say Igbos don't sell land to outsiders. Biggest lie. If you want land in Owerri, I have 2 plots at Orji to sell

I met a yorubas technician repairing garri processing machines in remote village in Enugu state

Ayo25:
At least they concede it is their second home and are grateful for whatever success they have acheive over there, not like those who after being allowed to feed fat of the good of the land and prosper, would begin to claim 'no mansland'.

Story. Continue deceiving yourself. Two directors yet nobody gives a fvck. We no be your mate

Putinofrussia:
You are good hosts to them and they are good visitors or 'migrants' to you because they don't behave negatively or poke nose into your local politics negatively.

To shift goalposts no de hard una

tollyboy5:
Professor of economic we like it like that. So mr importer/exporter and transporter will stop importing substandard trash to us from china.

Okay Mr skull miner

tollyboy5:
Nigeria economy is still in southwest.
Nigeria government need to invest largely in southwest to maintain good economy which in return helps yoruba youth. Reason why more people will keep trooping to southwest.

Economy of foreign Invaders and their yoruba youth slaves? Your understanding of the economy is so funny

RevolverOcelot:
As in

Most of you are not updated sha

Jeon:
Chai so anyone that's not standing up with Ibo is a Yoruba, forgetting that we have over 100 tribes in Nigeria. Yoruba don show igbo pepper.




Wow, no wonder yeast are always living home to a developed state,because of generational curses called family inheritance can't make them be productive.

Your second paragraph is a typical yoruba lame and stale excuse for backwardness. Be proud of your tribe

Jeon:
This is not an excuse.


Lol, even though it is controlled by families they should try and maintain the bushy around them.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 😂

Lol, compare with this slum in a jungle.
The bushes around a man's house are his family inheritance. Unlike your side where oba sells land to Chinese and they chase out villagers

tollyboy5:
This your weed strong o!

This "almighty Lagos" mentality is destroying yorubaland and rendering yoruba youth useless. For your information Abuja has overtaken Lagos in domestic flights since 2019 and Onitsha Urban area has overtaken Lagos in landmass

Ozommadu:
Omenka come and blame igbos na dem dey destroy this country despite that they've never rule you.


Your Ebola bought yatch 5bn and tinubu wife 1.5bn cars...all imported oo


Hopeless people

You de mind the mofos. They will leave the president, CBN governor, finance minister, custom and immigration and start blaming importers doing legitimate legal businesses

Jeon:


Chaii see village.
Why is bushy environment so related to igbo? . And their buildings are never close. A house will be @ a particular place, then you have to walk like 100km before you can see another house surrounded by bush.

That's the igbo settlement pattern. Because land is controlled by families and not by feudal kings

Another Owambe budget

Unbiased1:
Agreed. Those people who were jumping from one tree to another butt naked in the past now wear clothes and have transformed their villages to towns and towns to cities with decent living conditions while you people in the Sad Waste have stagnated ever since. Ordinary mud house you guys can't rebuild. See how everywhere looks like it is still in the slave trade era. Spits.

See yoruba women here nakedd in Lagos as at colonial era. Their false media claims have all been rubbished by the social media. Reno should see this

Pristine664:
Lol when those houses were being built, your grandparents were still jumping from one tree to the other like monkeys, butt naked.

Mumu people deceiving themselves. See your people here

Notice the good roads penetrating the inner villages? In SE development is decentralized to the grassroots. These are the places that are now forming the huge urban cornubation around Anambra/Imo axis that will soon grow larger than Lagos

pdppower:
Yet, your people cannot stay in your 'beautiful village ' but keep running to the brown roof towns in the west.

Stop inventing excuses. Your towns are shitty dilapidated junkies
