Ok now

When u loan a word from a language to call something

It usually means that that same thing was not present in your environment before

It's usually that you borrowed that thing and the name it's called

If you have that thing before, you will have a name for it

To the best of my knowledge, the benins used to have Ogiso, which is a duke

When Yoruba introduced Kingship to them, the name came with it

Some borrow a word they have before and after sometimes the borrowed word become more popular. I'm not applying it to Ife/Benin wahala oo
For example. In Igbo language
Prostitute = Akwuna
But yoruba word Ashewo which is pronounce as Ashawo in igbo accent is more popular. Even Flavor's song "Ashawo' was a hit

We told them, that these multinationals will flee when economy is bad, but local investors will strengthen their positions

Wickedtruths:
Lagos Island is different from Lagos as a state. The Oba of Benin is too daft to know this and that's why everyone is laughing at his stupidity today.

Oba said Lagos not Lagos State.

SoNature:
This is another wishful thinking. Anambra cannot overtake Lagos for many several reasons, including Lagos popularity, consistency in policy-making (this is good for business), propensity to spend (citizens' disposable income), and huge population.

Plus, Lagos attracts many foreign companies that bring in a lot of foreign currency to the state. No country or state ever attained greatness without foreign intervention. Local industries are good but foreign investors bring in more money to rev up the state's IGR, create jobs and increase GDP.

If you like fold your hands in your brown roofs and be giving yourself false hope with this rubbish

Ofodirinwa:
I also agree with this, Lagos is still a middle income city, and middle income can be surpassed, especially with the right focus which Anambra people have.

Research has proven that Aba has higher income per capita than Lagos. Aba City not Abia state

They are mocking Anambra Data without comparing with their own states. Very dumb people

nairalanda1:
Better the oppostion unites around PDP in 2027, and gets rid of APC once and for all.

Coup always ends with the same old corrupt system in place, only this time with more repression.

If we want better governance, we got to put pressure on the people in power. Coup would not only make matters worse, but if the army rulers turn out to be awful, we won't have any means of putting pressure on them.

Only if PDP fields SE candidate and supported by everybody

Bestmanfornow:
This is not abroad, it's Dame Irene Memorial hospital Orifite, Anambra state

While oyibo is chasing them out of their ancestral lands we are employing oyibos over here

iammo:




Top 5 hospitals in Nigeria are in Lagos

Talking about tertiary hospital, I doubt any Teaching hospital can compete with UCH Ibadan

.

This feeling that the best of everything is in your your area will only limit you

chopnaira:
Dey deceive yourself. All solid state devices in Nigeria are assembled.

Because you couldn't do it doesn't mean it's impossible.

NimrodEndOfDays:
That time will never come. Nigeria would have broken up into 6 countries.

It has almost come in SE ever since Barth Nnaji broke up electricity distribution

chopnaira:
That's good but tell your brother that he is only pressing his own neck.

That is actually serious neck pressing. Watch the competition that is coming

datola:
Soludo is wise.

He should be the next president from the east.

If I were him I will make sure perform beyind expectations as current Anambra governor

Where is Okorocha? He got zero votes at APC primaries after speaking Hausa

Lagos island is completely detached from the rest of yorubaland. It can be settled and owned by a different tribe

yoruboid:
For those who wish to go take pictures at the Emelogu Roundabout to celebrate this noble achievement in the yEast, there will be a bus from Umuahia by 4:30pm to convey us there

God bless Abia Rwanda

Wasteside is the worst side

Democracy is strange to yorubas

Lol, they had to drag Peter Obi into it by fire by force. Peter Obi never tried to become godfather. Infact, Peter Obi destroyed all godfathers in Anambra. The greatest godfather/Godson struggle in Anambra was Ngige vs Chris Uba.

Tjra:

Without Nigeria, brown roof will overtake Lagos.

forgiveness:
Before the entity called Nigeria, SW already had Lagos port and it was generating billions of naira (based on current evaluation). I am talking about as far back as 1890s. Look the list below to see those inhabiting Lagos then.

By 1890s Lagos is already very cosmopolitan. Stop posting rubbish computer typed document

Meanwhile, where is the picture of the hospital? Peter Mbah media crew have no achievement to show. They should stop deceiving people

JASONjnr:
Must you say it yourself?


If your kinsmen said it, it's as good as you saying it.

Stop disgracing yourself Mr Man

JASONjnr:
You think he didn't know that before he built it in your region?


Why can't you just appreciate favours? The rich Igbos never thought of doing that. All what they're talking about is how they developed Lagos.

Stop talking nonsense, I don't know the problem with you brown roof dwellers

JASONjnr:
Igbos should return the favours and build something more tangible in the North....


This is what democracy was supposed to be. State of origin is why this country is divisive.


We pray that in the future, we get to experience a .ore united Nigeria.

Abi others should return the favor and build more in Igboland

MEEVEET:
Ibom port won't work for same reason lekki sea port won't work

Until the law is change to allow everyone import anything from any port

That's the Koko

Soludo wanted to build pharmaceutical industrial layout in Anambra as minimum 60% of local pharmaceutical companies are owned by igbos

They told him the truth... Pharmaceutical and chemicals can only be imported through apapa not even tincan

That's why they are all in Lagos and Ogun

Such laws are the main reasons investors are holding back

That's why I laugh at yorubas making mouth. SW needs Nigeria more than Nigeria needs SW

MEEVEET:
Yes that is why Akwa Ibom borrow against that money and send the debtors to FB

That state is the best state in Nigeria in terms of financial state

They just haven't had smart leaders who would build a their human capital development

Building roads won't do it, building factories won't do it either

All the money in Akwa ibom end up in Aba

cooltola:
Once this issue is fix, then Nigeria can move forward. I still wonder why those in power are not trying to fix this problem instead they are doing elephant project like building school and so forth.
Till then , expect things to worsen.

EEDC is doing well in SE

All this explanation reeling out history of complex conquests and empire administration is a waste of time. The ancestors of whom you're trying to educate lived in mushroom communities each made of around 5 mud huts, wearing palmfronds and selling palmkernel nuts. Thy don't see their neighbours until market days that hold every 2 weeks. So stories like this will be strange and and too complex for him.

Igboland is just like Japan. All the empires are in rumbles and backwards shit hole. Look at Iraq that house ancient Babylon and compare to Japa that had no empire? Tokyo is the largest city on Earth today. By 19th century it was just tiny scattered villages. Conquest, empires etc are inferior evolution and hindrance to technology advancement. Onitsha and it's environs is now the largest urban area by landmass, through trade, commerce and industry not by any conquest or political machinations which is for weaklings who have a primitive urge to find strength in numbers

Benin Republic IDP camp don full
God bless ESN, something they wish they had

Padipadi:
That's when you ll know that the calmness of Yorubas isn't cowardice. People like you ll be profiled as terrorists. Shoot at sight.

Yorubas don't give a fûck about one Nigeria. If it want to break, it should shatter into pieces!

You will be severely dealt with after Tinubu. We all know your people are the real secessionist

Benwallt:
The real Lagos land has been exhausted long ago due to unimaginable development and expansion. Lagos, very soon will swallow Ogun State and extend to Ibadan.

And you think others are folding their hands and their land are bush fallows? Are you familiar with Demographia ranking of urban areas worldwide?

Neddyogu:
According to ur write-up, some Yoruba groups predate Oduduwa. So hw come Oduduwa is held as the progenitor of the Yoruba people? Need more insight

So called educated tribe mixing up rubbish and calling it history. The whole yoruba academia can't come up with unbiased objective history

Difrent:
Who debunked Pandora?

He didn't debunk it

He only said he didn't know he was required to declare assets he jointly owned
which we all know is a LIE.... That was his defence but In the eyes of the law ignorance is not an excuse.

So he has committed a crime. Whether knowingly or unknowingly.

But it will be the greatest dishonour to yourself to believe Obi didn't know what he was doing he knew exactly what he was doing

.
Stop derailing the thread. Nothing concern Obi here
