In Imo state, Outside Owerri, the remainder of Imo state is uglier than the dirtiest towns in the SW region.

Your leaders have no sense, or crooks.

The same Southwest we know, is it ife, Ibadan, ogbomosho, ede, oshogbo, Sango, Abeokuta, ondo, ore, akure, Ike sha, idanre, ipetumodo, Ijero ekiti, ifetedo, ila, Efon alaye, oyo, saki, Ijebu, or were? Una no dey shame? My village alone is more civilized and developed by individual standard than all your dilapidated brown roof riff raff cities. No come disgrace your people for here.

TedExNairaland:
I don't see u telling deomelo all these, when posting pictures of osun or ilekeh, when posting pictures of Ibadan...

Funny enough, i have no problem with ur submissions. but making it an eastern problem then going ahead to make unrealistic comparison with western countries when ur backyard is Ibadan and Abeokuta also need same attention or advise is where you sold ursef out. Stay coded or Bleep out of this thread.

The nigga is a bloody afonja, what do u expect?

Zane2point4:
Op honestly you tried, but i live in owerri and this is not the part of owerri most ppl see everyday o, at least i use wetheral road every day, this pics didnt capture how dilapidated that place is now, am yet looking for daughlas road but couldn't fine it.

Amazing pictures though.

He doesn’t have to show everywhere. He never said Owerri is London. He wants to appreciate how the city has grown over the years. He never said he is showing off owerri as the best or developed. His focus is how the city has grown and not destroyed. Just appreciate the ones he has posted and move on. If you have pictures of the present state of Douglas road, post it and stop complaining. It’s not to hard to do. Once you expect negative things , negative things happen in your life. Be positive and positivities shall follow you.

TedExNairaland:
I have once suggested, its high time we had a road standard bill, which will stipulate design, the size, height, quality and materials for construction. It should also include side walkways, depth and width of underground drainage, underground electrification, road and traffic accessories like street lights, security cameras, trees and all.

So calm down, we know all these things, but our leaders are just below the intelligence belt, when it comes to governance and construction. Unfortunately, we can do less. Don't forget, this is Nigeria.

You have to learn how to ignore idiots who have nothing meaningful to contribute other than negativity.

Kudos to you for this thread. This is my state and I am so passionate about issues concerning my state.

Unfortunately I came late.

Rossikki:
I look at issues as a Nigerian and not as an ethnic bigot like you. And you WILL get a lot of ''negativity' if you post SUBSTANDARD RUBBISH here, hoping it will ''impress'' people here. Our standards are higher than you seem to think. You can create an ''Igbo forum'' where you can pat yourselves on the back for substandard projects. On Nairaland, the standards are higher. Here's a word of advice. If you see a newly built road in your state that has no sidewalks or covered drains, refuse to post it here as ''development''. That will save you the embarrassment of hearing from the likes of myself, while serving to inform your leaders that they should build infrastructure to higher standards than they currently do.

This is the problem I have with stewpid people like you. Didnt you read where the op said this thread is to appreciated how far the city has grown over the years? Must everything thread or post be opened and posted to impress urchins like you? Who the 4K are you? And what state are you from,let’s compare. Is it his duty to build the sidewalks and drainges or the government? Why pour your frustration on him? To hell with you nigga. Blood afonja who is quick to critic others while his own state is left to rust and dilapidation. Shame

Tochukwu Caritas. If u know, u know

You head dey there. That year he jumped school fence when his dad had issues with EFCC. Chai caritas that year.., He and Wero were 2rooms away from mine at Thomas acquinas hostel

I repeat, any Nwafo Igbo that engages this chalatans, is a capital fool. Stay away from this thread, let them feast on their poo themselves.

When a supposedly person claiming Igbo opens an igala thread, then you know that there is more to him aim.

I repeat, stay clear of this thread. They will start claim anambra to insult other Igbo states. Stay away from this thread

Another afonja (chino) with multiple monikers, claiming igala, and replying himself to sustain the thread to deceive people into believing he and his multiple monikers are igalas and from anambra. At the end, watch as this thread will be diverted to bashing igbos, especially igbos from other states. A confirmation that the Op is the same as those commenting.

The ploy is to divert people’s suspicion away from believing he is Afonja. Lowlife riffraffs feeling smart.

Any Igbo person who engages them on this thread is a fool.

So while we are all planing to disobey Ipob’s no election directive and vote out
Buhari/APC in next coming election, our own Nairaland’s /globemoney/investnow2013 with Obiano and APGA are declaring support for the lifeless one inAbuja and telling us that 4yrs is better than 8yrs,despite having an APGA presidential candidate.

You now understand why he has been abit silent since Obi became the pDp vice presidential candidate. Their hatre for Peter Obi will run all of them mad very soon.

You see why APGA will continue to remain only in Anambra and cant expand into Igboland, and why nobody takes APGA serious in Igboland.Very disappointing.

See him smiling like an hyena who has just caught a prey. I Like your cap though

The morals of it all is not to trust politicians, including all the ones here on nairaland critizing the government. Once they have the opportunity, they will do worse. They all lack morals, principles and ideology. They are only after their interest,pocket and family.

IzuAgu:
Propagandist. Keep up with your useless hyping when 95℅ of the town is a mess. Let me know when you get the pictures of the areas i listed, then i will get you another list. You can only deceive anyone who hasn't been to that town, not me. Continue your lying.

Man what is your challenge? Allow the Op market his Enugu in Peace or Are the pictures he posted not Enugu? What is your pain?

Does not posting pictures of the places u mentioned make his pictures not enugu?

Must he have pictures of all the places in Enugu?

When you try to market Nigeria to foreigners, do you show them pictures of Iwo road Ibadan/ ogbomosho or that of Banana island/VGC?

You are just an untraveled bloody afonja, who thinks every beautiful part of the city is a GRA like it is in Ibadan

Abuja is Enugu’s only rival

Enugu is beautiful and clean, and seem to have a very youthful, healthy and civilized middle class population

You are too intellectually lazy. How do we explain this to you.

You copied Igbo artifact and copy Ile ife town.

Ile ife town is new. But the artifact their are older than the town. Stop dating Ile ife. You date Igbo art, but dated Ile ife town.

Lazy man. U created a thread you can't defend. You chickened out. Shame

Again please lets not derail this thread. We are discussing influential African tribes during the slave trade. Not which tribe is the best.

This is not a competition.

Thanks.

Inferiority complex. We talking influence. Igbos(Culture,language and music influence) is spread all over the Americas( North, south and carribean) if u don't know,do more research. That you have minority Yoruba's in Benin, doesn't make u influential. Igbos are also in equatorial guinea, Gabon and Cameroon. In addition to the igbos settled all over the world in mass, living there and doing their business.

What is the population of the minority Yoruba tribe in Benin republic and that of the migrant igbos living and doing business there. Asides, do they see themselves as Yoruba, abi Yoruba just dey claim them?


Igbos is a recognised language in Equatorial guinea. The biokos in equatorial guinea are igbos.

The number of igbos in Cameroon alone is more than the number of igbos in Lagos. Kumba is the largest English speaking city in Cameroon, is know in Cameroon as an Igbo city. That is why Igbo and nigeria is used interchangeably in Cameroon.

Afonja Op educated ursef.

proxillin:
Mr fraud. Why are you this dubious. You went and quote Ile ife city page. Ile ife was formed in the 1100 bc. But the artifact there were dated into 11bc.

Please don't let your bigotry and tribalism derail this thread. Why didn't you date Enugu as a town. Oya go to wikipedia and copy Enugu page. You will cry.


https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yoruba_art

You are just a fraud.

Please back to the topic. We are talking about influence.

How did Igbo ifluence American continent.

Answer this and stop dribbling. I get time for your fraud a***ss today.

And your ignoramus copied the picture of obalufon. Obalufon is a modern day chieftien in ile ife.

Another poor attempt. I'm not sure I mentioned Enugu.. I mentioned Igbo ukwu art.

And Igbo ukwu was the capital of NRI kingdom. And it was established 10th century , while Igbo ukwu art was dated to 9th century. ...


https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingdom_of_Nri

Op now compare Igbo ukwu artifacts with that of Ife as you claim. Lazy researcher.


You can see that igbos existed before benins and Benin's existed before Yoruba's....

Stop propagading falsehood on this forum. It is common with you Yoruba's to tell what you are not. The world is so enlightened now that any falsehood will be countered to its reckeless shame

proxillin:
Ok so it has descended to the level of ethnic clashes. I won't be part of it.

All African tribes have monuments or evidence of slavery. You can continue to quote for passages all you want. Other tribes also have similar stories and historical evidence.

I will just address some of your points factually.

1. Igbo are local to South of Nigeria. Yorubas are indigenous to North Central Nigeria, south of Nigeria, Togo, Benin Republic, abidjan. Yorubas are influencia outside the coast of Nigeria.

You said Igbo culture is older than Yorubas. This is too low from you. All artifacts in Benin/Edo + Ile-ife are the oldest in Nigeria. Thanks to science and archeology. You can argue with professors of archeology, even igbos scholars did not argue this. I wonder why you are disputing this despite having little knowledge of history and research.

The influence in this writeup talked about how slaves dominate and influence their land of captive. Only bias person will argued the fact that yoruba spiritualism and cultural symbolism is not making waves in America continents. There are loads of nairaland topic showing how white people are converting to orisa religion.
No other African tribe has this influence.

Take your bias out of this thread. You can go to politics thread to continue your Igbo superiority argument. This is for education purpose.

Thanks.

I'm actually suprised that off all that I wrote , all you picked on was about age of the different cultures, does it mean, u aren't disputing others. meaning u have accepted ur write up about the Yoruba's was flawed, biased and only aimed a propagation falsehood about the Yoruba's?

As for the ages of the cultures. Well. Stop shaming uraef and exposing ur oluwole research works because, even Wikipedia is not saving ur ass.


As u can see Igbo ukwu art which is the oldest discovered artifact is of the 9th century.

Now check that of Benin which is even older than life. Now I understand why u have been attaching Yoruba's and Benin in ur write up. U wanna tap from the history to represent the Yoruba's...Ole. Thief


Igbo ukwu 1 and 2

Benin 3

Ile lfe 4

proxillin:
Ashantis of Ghana will be number 13 in the list, assuming we have top 30 list. I am a researcher, Historian and Archeologist.

Ashantis of Ghana are not more influential than Igbos. Please read up history. This is about Influence. Its not about who was sold into slavery.

How do mean influence? What makes Yoruba more influencial than the igbos. The igbos were the most sort after slaves and most expensive because of the hard work and fair complexion. The igbos were seen as superior race. www.nairaland.com/attachments/3606242_img20150921052004edit_jpeg1e50872f539456818f3b813301de20e3

Mind u, 60% of the Black's you see in america today originated from bight of biafra (through the port of calabar and bonny) which composed of the ijaws, efiks, Ibibio and majority igbos. What notable slave of Yoruba origin was more influential than Olaudah Equiano, who born his freedom, rallied round to work to abolishment of slavery. And he is the reason slave trade was abolished? Which Yoruba's slave was more notable than James Africanus B Horton, whose works was recommended to the British house of common for the establishment of self government?

www.nairaland.com/attachments/3606203_265940620150722195618jpeg4f3d8eea0d927617038a897e4bd7efd1_jpeg_jpegceaf32e4c1a92c7bcec4254f46e42d8a

What notable historical event, action or activities was taken by the Yoruba's slaves like the Igbo landing at St. Simons Island, Glynn County, Georgia.which today is a historical tourist site and has been used to teach about black history in america till this day.

What of Nat Turner, the rebel Igbo slave who fought against white oppression and his story has been adapted into a movie "Birth of a Nation".

What of the word Ebony? Do you know it was adopted from the word EBO as it was called then? ...op if you are new to nairaland. Just stay humble before u are disgraced out of here.

Another big lie from you, Yoruba's and Fulani's are not the largest ethnic group in African. I don't know which is the largest but I know the by 1920 populations census, igbos were not only almost double Yoruba's, they were 2/3 of southern Nigerian. (Check physical anthropology of southern Nigeria). www.nairaland.com/attachments/3606711_img20160415205559_jpeg6889d8ed59c6c554cfd840f11f842271

Again, another lie, Yoruba's are not older than igbos. Igbos are the oldest ethnic group, to inhabit nigeria. Don't worry, I will post all for you. You are a fake researcher, a bias one and you know nothing. Shame.

This is the same way you all deceived yourselves with most educated, most professors, most doctors, lawyers and engineers. Yet facts and documents keep showing that you guys are far behind the igbos. You guys cant make an objective research without being biased. What are u guys ashame of, why do you like lying to urselves

proxillin:
2nd Position: Yoruba People

They are African tribes of North Central and South Western Nigeria as well as Southern and Central Benin Republic. Yorubas and Fulanis are the largest ethnic groups in Africa. It is hard to tell which is larger. They were mainly sold to the North America. And they were the mostly recognized African cultures in America. Yorubas are found not loose their culture wherever they go. They are dominant culture and Pantheon Yoruba ideology became a religion worshiped. They create shrines and worship centers in Jamaica, Cuba, Haiti, Dominican republic, st Lious, Brazil Trinidad and Tobago. Yoruba is fast becoming a religion even among non-Yorubas in America. They were the face of African slavery. The Yoruba along Benin/Edo culture has been dated by Archaeology as the oldest civilization in Africa, dated as far back as 11bc Nimrod era.

Op I will respond to this falsehood in another thread later. It is good to say good things about Yoruba but please, saying things that don't add up and worse listing them as number 2 on what basis? Where are the Ashanti's of Ghana.. Please make sure u are well researched on this topic cos, I will come and dismantle allbur lies. Later when I'm less busy. Stay tuned.

pazienza:
Yes! He was called Katsumoto . He and Dede1 were ice and fire. They just couldn't stop going at it. Physics QED,HMD, etc, (Because he had numerous Physics accounts since he often made long posts and gets banned by spam bot), was flying the Edo flag, his often Edophilic views got him into trouble with fiery Ogbuefi1, he was an Igbophilic Ika man. I remember that Physics had sidekicks by the names Exotik and Bohalal who were bringing Edo to Anioma.
I also remember Aloy Emeka, with his annoying Pro Nigerian stand, while claiming to be Igbo. We had reality101, a real funky Igbo guy. Okija juju was very poor at Igbo impersonation, but he was witty. Andrew Uweh was a quintessential Igbo nationalist, he was gentlemanly with his Andrew Uweh handle, but showed his bad side with his Ngodigha handle.
ChinenyeN was that annoying Ngwa chap that was always playing the politically correct card, and saw pan Igboism as a threat to his Ngwa identity.
Nri priest was always pushing his Nri supremacy agenda , he had guys from Imo/Abia always challenging him, there was one particular Moniker from Abia/Imo that was his nemesis.

Abagworo was the encyclopedia of the complexities and histories of Rivers and Imo states Igbo groups.

And then, there was a certain Urhobo man called Beaf, whose aim was to enthrone GEJ in 2010/11. He became the most popular Man in NL political section, his main rival was a Yoruba man called Gbawe.

I swearugad, u are really old here. I am surprised u didn't mention beaf, that guy was another brilliant stubborn nigger. Nairaland use to be very interesting, until nairaland got invaded by kids from Indomine generation.

I can remember Onlytruth then was eze ndiigbo nairaland and was always there to settle disputes within the family and also rally igbos for counter attack ,when ndiAfonja began theirs and he also pleaded with us also to cease fire when necessary....

Lolz. Me sef I don dey for nairaland. I was here to read and get educated all the while.

Nairaland became more bigoted and divided after ojukwu's death, which brought back the biafran question into mainstream and the role each and everyone played, and also escalated by Chinua Achebe's "There was a country", which made people dig and research more about the civil war, in addition to the politics of jonathan era. From then, the war between us and them escalated and it hasnt ceased.

Over the years, with niaraland, Ndi Igbo have been able to trash most of the bigoted stereotypes and propagandas, propagated against us. Eg, igbos don't go to school, igbos are ritualist, igbos are not accommodating, the east is not developeded, most professors etc.

I'm sure you all have noticed they don't say all those nonsense anymore. Facts, history, exposure and the internet have turned the table against them.

They have the most out of school children in the south, they are the least developed outside Lagos in the south, they suffer hunger the most and are the poorest. Human Ritual, incest and sodomy is a daily occurrence in the west. We have the most graduates, university entrants and most doctorates and professor. We also have the most admitted into law, engineering, pharmacy and medicine. We have the most notable technocrats in all fields, we dominated every sector of the Nigerian socio economic space outside government or politics. Abeg 1 zillion likes for Ndi Igbo. We too much. Baba God loves ndiigbo. We are Umuchukwu. The Real Chosen ones.

Nice one hammer. I am learning

Blogger and their way of twisting news to suit their narrative.

Nk said biafrans are 70million not Igbos. The continued painting the Biafra struggle as an Igbo struggle will always fail
