Upon all the money Dokpesi made from slandering Buhari and Tinubu? ? This is just too bad.

coolzeal:
You don't want them to leave yet, The Northern Bourgeoisie and the Yoruba Bourgeoisie marginalized them in every political and public sectors of the country. It is better to fight our own war, and may be find an honourable peace, than to remain in this contemptible state in perpetuity. God bless Biafra.

Oh my God!! you people are pathetic. I thought you guys are already the 'richest' tribe in Nigeria, the most this, the most that, the most developed, the most hardworking. Here you are at the same time talking about being marginalized ? ? ? I thought you guys are so self-sufficient that you don't need 'political and public sectors of the country' to make it in life? ? I don't get you guys, for real!

TRIBALSTOOGE:

Dude, you're beginning to sound like a robot. Face the real salient issues or stfu. When will you start asking your almajiri kinsmen to begin heading back to the SE? You guys need to get serious about this agitation business coz you're beginning to sound like a bunch of jokers. Do the needful and ask your people to head home, coz if you don't and you continue agitating like this then you are endangering their lives in their current locations outside of the SE.

Am all for Biafra, but they need to start moving en-masse back to the SE to speed up its actualization. There's no way in hell Yorubaland will host secessionist Ibos. Hell no. That will be dangerous for our security. The more they clamour for Biafra, the more other Nigerians begin to look upon them with suspicion. They should all move to the SE and I will take them seriously.

zendy:
Your are like a blind bat in a cave who is using its senses to get around but can't see the obvious. Let me tell you something you may not believe. If a referendum is conducted today in Igboland asking the Igbos if they want to secede as Biafra or remain in Nigeria, not less than 90% of all Igbos will vote to leave. The other 10 percent who will vote to stay are a combination of Igbos who were born or raised outside Igboland in places like Lagos and have since been "Yorubanised",the Igbos who feeding fat off the cesspit of deciet called Nigeria and the sceptical Igbos who fear the future. Self determination is an inalienable right of man and it is the integral right of the Igbos to decide for themselves if they are Nigerian or not. The people own the land, the land never owns the people. The Igbos must be given a referendum to decide their relationship with the Nigerian state, we have outgrown seeking relevance in a failed state like Nigeria. The only future Nigeria has is referendum or war. And if it comes to war, I will be one of the first on the frontlines with my Rifle ready to defend Biafra.

That's a lie and even you know it! You people are a pathetic lot. You blame everyone but yourselves for your problems -- it's always other people holding you back, you NEVER accept responsiblity for your own failures as a people.

For example, the Enugu International Airport till today is getting lesser and lesser patronage from your own people who still prefer to come to Lagos to board their international flights. Your travelers will give all the excuses in the world as to why they would rather FLY all the way to Lagos to catch a flight out of the country when they could easily do so via closer-by ENUGU Intl' Airport.

Before that Airport was upgraded, you people did not allow us to hear word about how its upgrade would be a game-changer and reduce your dependence on "South West" airports. And now that you've gotten it you have failed to put it to use!!!!! That right there sums up the Yiboman, he's an abject FAILURE!!!

Another example are your so-called 'billionaires', especially the Anambra ones. Upon all your noises, your 'billionaires' still prefer to build and invest in the SW. Ifeanyi Uba has only ONE petrol station in the whole of Anambra. His tangible assets are all located in Lagos. Ditto Arthur Eze, Ditto Emeka Offor, Ditto Coscharis.

Face it, your erosion infested region is simply not condusive for even your own people to remain in, let alone attract other Nigerians. No amount of lies you come here to spew will change that fact.

FreeGlobe:
...we rose from it to control over 60% of Nigeria's economy today.

Come, you people keep changing this figure of your stake in the Nigerian economy; one minute we are hearing you claim to control 70%, the next we hear 75-80%, now you are telling us it's 60%? ? ? All these from petty-trading, spare-parts dealing, pirated-cds? ? ? All these Okonjo-Iweala/Aba-made figures are as fake as the drugs you litter the whole place with. Na wah for you people o.

At the rate some of these people brag about being achievers, one could be forgiven for thinking their region would be so special, developed and advanced that it would be the envy of the whole world. They say "charity begin at home", so I ask, how well have they managed their region that they expect others to clamour for their leadership over them? Smh.

crixtex:
...u hate igbos too

Point of correction -- I DON'T hate Igbos, I just refuse to put up with their trash-talking to Yorubas. If you talk smack then expect me to give it back to you fire-for-fire. I don't suffer fools.

crixtex:
haaaaa... no one can change d state's slogan.. i didnt put it dea.. if not for d wickedness of my northern brothers.. dea wud b nothing like boko ok... at least some of our hausa states are better than slumps in oyo,osun or even lagos

Guy, I don already call you out in an earlier post about your fakeness -- you are as fake as a $3 bill (which actually doesn't exist). What I don't understand is why you Igbos and some renegade SS cohorts are cowards who lie about your ethnicity just coz you want to sucker-punch us Yorubas. Why are you claiming Hausa/Northerner? You hate Northerners as much as you hate Yorubas, going by your past posts on NL wherein you made it clear that you're from the SE/SS corridor though based in Lagos, so why claim that you're one of the Northerners?

I just don't get some of you guys, for real. Below is evidence that exposes you as nothing but a fraud. I expect that you'll respect yourself from hereon and quit derailing this thread. Shameless Yoruba-hating morafocka.

Bro I m in support.. ds country is not and can never b one.. its a fraud full of deceptions, tribalist, religion bigots caused mainly b d yoruba who never stand for the truth.....

You don't get it Sir, they've been bashing Ibadam Ibadan on a daily basis until a thread was created highlighting the good and ugly sides of Ibadan like Wesley did for Enugu thread. The thread silenced them until we lost it to server crash. I think Vanguard was angry because they've always been bashing the city and when someone opened a thread and people posted various pictures, someone like you came to post HDI wanene wanene again.

I got your point sha, we shall get there.

It is well.

God bless us all.

Thank you jare for breaking down my thoughts exactly. I can't shout.

150-room Four Points By Sheraton under construction in Ibadan.

Following the successful opening of Golden Tulip Owu Crown Ibadan a few years ago, international hotel brands are beginning to look beyond Abuja, Lagos and Port Harcourt. They have begun to show interest in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital. Other reasons for the recent interest in Ibadan, industry watchers say, include the zest of the hospitality sector to expand frontiers, as well as the need to provide world-class accommodation facilities in the city which is a retreat location for many city dwellers and businesses. As the rush gathers momentum, the Starwood Group has commenced construction on its 150-room Four Points By Sheraton, which is expected to cost N6 billion. Located at the Mokola Hills, the proposed hotel is to be built in partnership with the Oyo State government, with 10 percent equity, including cost of the land. Work has already started on the project which is expected to be completed next year. In the same vein, the state is partnering international hospitality franchise groups, such as Hilton and Protea, with a projected construction of hotels at the Trans Amusement Park ground in Ibadan. Abiola Ajimobi, Oyo State governor, said the state went in search of firms that could partner with it in constructing a decent four- or five-star hotel to accommodate the quality and quantity of investors the state envisages.

Now I have called you out on your BS, you accuse me of sermonizing.

The facts are there. Take them or leave them. I gave you facts on key Human Development Index stats in Ibadan - you may choose to ignore them but they will not go away.

I am definitely not living in a bubble and I do not expect perfection. I gave you stats in which nearly 100% of a sample of households in your beloved Ibadan depend on well water for basic needs - well water that is at high risk of contamination from septic tanks. Do you know the health costs (to these households and communities) of typhoid fever and other water borne diseases? Do you even have an idea? I challenge you to look for the results of published studies that are far more rigorous and comprehensive than mine - are the results similar or not?

I gave you stats on how nearly 100% of a sample of Ibadan households rely exclusively on pit latrines for their toilet needs. Those pit latrines were in very poor - I repeat - very poor shape, exposing users to deadly communicable diseases. Am i being idealistic for highlighting these truths? Or you are simply angry because these truths are inconvenient?

You would rather highlight the presence of KFC and shoprite as indicators of development, while the owners of these businesses repatriate their capital and profits at will. (By the way - I bear no ill will toward these entrepreneurs - I am simply amused at our folly).

Focus on substance and not spin. Ibadan needs a lot of work. To deny this and focus on 'aesthetics' or 'celebrating the positives' is to do her people a disservice.

I'm done exchanging words with you. Tomorrow is a few hours away, when you get to Church, preach it!

Whether or not you are defensive about it - reality simply does not care. When it bites - it bites hard.

What do US inner city ghettoes have to with this matter? Focus on your problems and their solutions. If the Americans choose to ignore their social problems, does that make them go away? Can you see the connection between the current problems in places like Baltimore, Ferguson etc. and the refusal of Americans to confront the seeds of those problems when those seeds were sown long ago?

You remind me of Nigerians (far too many of them) who are fixated on image rather than problem solving. "Aesthetic packaging" will not solve Ibadan's problems. Targeted, focused action is what will do the job - not PR jobs executed in the form of glossy pictures - in print form or online.

If you have been hearing about the negative side of Ibadan for years and change has been marginal or non-existent, is it not time to ask some hard questions?

Save your sermonette for Church service Tomorrow (Sunday), abeg. Me I'm here to celebrate the POSITIVES, yes, the aethetically beautiful side of Ibadan. You may live in a bubble where the ideal is all that matters to you, but Ibadan will never be an 'ideal city' coz none of such exists on earth -- Lagos isn't, New York isn't, London isn't, Tokyo isn't, Paris isn't, Toronto isn't, Berlin isn't, Milan isn't -- all these cities have their slums/ghettos/poverty e.t.c. We don't live in an ideal/perfect world.

Of course you can keep lamenting like Jeremiah, na your wahala be dat.

Well said.

I was part of a team on a social project in Ibadan recently. For the sample size, over 95% did not have access to pipe borne water. Wells were the sole water source for these families and contamination from septic tanks was a real and present danger. After going through the expense of building wells at a considerable cost, these families have to abandon these wells once contamination from seepage is suspected or discovered. Not a pleasant experience.

On the same project, over 90% of the households sampled did not have access to modern sanitary toilet facilities. The facilities used by these households are pit latrines and they were in very poor condition. These were things I saw with my own two eyes. One of the team members had trouble with eating after the project - he simply wasn't prepared for the things he saw in the pit latrines on the project.

These pictures of KFC et al just made me smile. The real Ibadan is in places like Kudeti. Mapo. Olopomewa. I can still remember the giant, mutant rats I saw fighting in the open sewers at Kudeti at 10am in the morning . In the same Kudeti, human waste and raw sewage was being emptied into the river/stream (I forget the name) coursing behind the households in the area - the same river water being used for washing, cooking, etc. downstream.

Those behind this thread know how far down on the HDI scale Ibadan is - unless they choose to deceive themselves with these glossy pictures.

Bull crap. First time I arrived in New York city -- Harlem to be precise -- in the year of our Lord 1992, I saw big-a$$ RATS roaming all over the streets of Harlem. I couldn't believe how ghetto the whole area was. You hardly see such on T.V, not coz it doesn't exist but rather coz they don't highlight it -- the drug-ravaged and extreme poverty of the inner-city America is often hidden from general view.

We've always been hearing about the NEGATIVE sides of Ibadan for donkey years, let's see some aesthetically packaged perspective for A CHANGE! Damn!

My friend, life is all about packaging. Even Oyinbo people package themselves as if they don't have slums by highlighting the POSITIVES in their environment. I once lived in the U.S of A for more than 15 years so I should know.
