List the best five wealthiest Igbo in history, I will give you the best ten wealthiest Ijebu in Yoruba history.

Ijebus dont go to other lands to make their money, they are self made and resourceful. Ibo is not resourceful, you have to step out to make money on foreign soil. Four Yoruba groups are ahead of you in wealth foundry - Ijebu, Ibolo, Oro and Ijesha.

BoboNkiti19:
I'm not sure the richest man in Ijebu can talk where the poorest man in Nnewi is talking plus Ijebus have already made it clear they are not yaribanzas... which makes sense cause they are too smart, enterprising and business oriented to be yaribanzas that lazy about on government handouts and throwing owambe parties.

BoboNkiti19:
At least you are adventurous enough to travel and visit the SE, that's if at all you actually did travel East of the Niger. Maybe you will in the course of your stay learn a thing or two about the entrepreneurial spirit, ingenuity and dogged nature of the Igbos as you transverse each cities, towns and states etc... *clears throat* eh-ehem before I forgot to add, try learn the secret as to how Igbos come some hundreds of miles to tour region, buy up your lands and force your unimaginatively lazy men into crying to Tinubu over been displaced by Igbos

Welcome to the Eastside aburo

I don take plenty picture as we dey come through different villages. After you pass Onitsha rest of Iboland is like the village my great great ancestor lived in. When we reach Owerri I was delighted, its lively. APC tried for Imo State.

Sam Mbakwe is a great legend here people love him and everything is referenced to his time.

Ibos are bigots. Every conversation is about Yoruba, afonja, iberibe. They are bloody bigots. I dont understand their language but i can pick when they talk bad about Yoruba. I didnt want to show im Yoruba but few of them in the bus knew.

Hey, look here,.....Ibo girls are ready to fvk anything from Westside. Come see as they rush Ibo guys that dropped off at Onitsha. Chai!

I don turn to undercover photographer, i dont want them to know what im doing or who i am. . I go load them when i return. This is Ngwa territory, the legendary Arochuckwu and Abiriba, I want to return home in one piece.

Please go read the write up about Adegoke Adelabu. It was not a personal contest, Action Group lost to NCNC. Stop reading narratives from western Nigeria regional gazettes .

Ibos should stop dis their politics of "if e no be me,e no go be any other person".

SLAP44:
- that he drank a healthy dose of rattack poison when he wanted to commit suicide .

All of the above are correct and documented in many history books

edunwosu:
And you forget the civil war where millions of Igbos lost their lives.

9gerian:
Okay.
