Now, this is my point. Where are the Igbos on this forum? This thread may be allowed to die natural death but if it is an anti-Igbo thread the same Igbo people here will jump in posting and trying to convince people who knows the truth but decides to give them some headaches.

The Igbos will jump into every anti-Igbo thread created by any mad person and keep pushing the thread 5 to over 10 pages. I created a thread to inform Igbos here to always ignore anti-Igbo threads to die naturally but many of them didn't get my point until one mod deleted the thread.

I don't know when some of my people will become wise. They allowed few Fulanis here with multiple IDs to be playing with their brains. Where are the Igbos and other people now to push this wonderful thread?

The opposite of this thread was created and they all jumped in pushing such thread. Instead of them to disappear from such threads.
you are right , invite them if you know any

Very dull, dumb and mentally lazy bunch of Igbos grin grin grin

The previous thread was a detailed research on the average household in the east. It highlighted a huge poverty index of an average ibo with a meagre low income per annum.
Your thread is a mere ego tripping exercise aimed at consoling your battered ego. The screenshot you provided concentrate only on the overall population of ibos.
Nigeria has the highest population in Africa, highest number of scholars, professionals, professors, artisans etc YET the Poverty Capital of the World.
Such is the true story of ibos, the highest number of civil servants yet the poorest per household.

-Osu amaka

Abobaku in severe pains, the lies edited and posted by john have been bursted.

the Igbos have always been ahead of the Yorubas before the civil war and even to date, we're still progressing in all spheres of life.

Yorubas have always been a poverty-stricken ethnic group in Nigeria, your ancestors were sad, ugly beggars in ghana in the early 20th century before their black asses were deported back to Nigeria.

2020 lockdown really exposed your lies and propaganda. two weeks into the lockdown Yorubas were eating rats and committing suicide,one million boys sprung up causing mayhem in the neighborhood, Ogun indigenes storm the government house saying "we are hungry."

If we have Biafra, Ekweremmadu would be in Prison, if you have Odua, Tinubu would be a God.
And you wonder why our prisons had more people in them than yours? cheesy

It could also mean that Igbos were less tolerant to crime and were more likely to report a crime than other ethnicities hence had more criminal elements incarcerated.

Little wonder the EASTERN region was the most peaceful region in Nigeria post independence leading up to Biafra war and remained the most peaceful region post 1999 until the Python dance and now UGM.

Number of people in prison doesn't necessarily represent crime rate. It could represent a better effective community policing capable of riding the society of criminal elements very quick and maintaining a relatively more peaceful region than others whose community policing is defective or culture is more tolerant of letting criminal elements stay free

Chew on this.

Yoruba land is the capital of rituals in Nigeria, your ethnic group is known for cannibalism across africa u can simply go on youtube and see your tribe in the mud, most Africans who have lived in Yoruba land are also confirming it on social media. the poverty in Yoruba land has eaten deep into every cone-headed abobaku living in the waste, which can be visibly seen in their brown roofs and dilapidated houses inhabited by them coupled with the highest rate of malnourished and stunted growths in children in the south. grin cheesy

don't worry we Igbos will always be there for the Yorubas, what are brothers for? when the southwest begins to experience retrogression from breaking out from Nigeria we will order 10 contains filled with enormous rats of different sizes, we will also add suicidal ropes to the order in case any of your scratched face tribesmen want to follow the footpath of Awolowo. grin grin

So in Igbo each and have their own toilet?

Even in multinationals people share toilets
But Open defecation has been part and parcel of Yoruba culture pre civilization and up till now. Just that they have evolved a bit by defecating inside a bowl and dispose it off inside the gutter.

This why you're daft....Jesse James, AlCapone and billy the kid were some of the most famous and ruthless criminals in america and they were all white but it didn't change the fact that majority of the convicted criminals were african american men. So even if the most famously ruthless criminals were all yoruba's it doesn't translate into them having the most convicted robbers and jail birds... It's why data analysis is important and not just rettardedly relying on Google searches.

TILL TODAY IGBO STANDARD OF LIVING ARE WAY ABOVE OTHER TRIBES!

Igbos has highest population of middle-class in Nigeria.

Igbos villages and rural areas are far more developed than other regions of the country.

Below are states with the highest Bank deposit according to CBN:

Lagos, Ogun, Kano, Anambra, Abia, Rivers, and the FCT

While deposits in Anambra and Abia are 99% Igbo. Many of the bank deposits in Rivers and Lagos can be traced to Igbo. Not to mention FCT.

You're mentally skewed! The history of armed robbery is very important in today's school curriculum. This will help pupils and student to know when and how criminality started and evolved in Nigeria. Yorubas invented armed robbery, kidnapping, popularly known as "Gbeomo Gbeomo", ritual killings, skull mining, Agbero, Land grabbing and a host of other social vices.

Now let's focus on thr ones who have been awarded the title of notorious arm robbers as well as the well known arm robbers in Nigerian history. Corrupt officials would be included as well. I'm not going to take credit for this finding. This was beautifully written for us by Shuma Maliga

Anyway, the most notorious armed robbers in Nigerian history and in this century were always Yorubas.
From Shina Rambo aka Mathew Oluwanifemi
http://gistmonger.com/90s-armed-robber-shina-rambo-i-beheaded-100-men-pounded-27-babies-slept-with-my-motherpic/
To Czar aka Abiodun Ogunjobi
http://www.vanguardngr.com/2013/08/godogodo-bigger-than-shina-rambo-police/
To Alhaja Faith Balogun (though an Edo state indigenous but she is married to a yoruba and her husband shared the wealth of her crimes and not once did he ever reported her so I'll include her)
http://www.dailyindependentnig.com/2013/03/end-of-the-road-for-alhaja-faith-lagos-robbery-queen/

These three are the main armed robbers that your own state police officer described as the "most wanted"

History of Armed robbers, Company liquidators, Rapists and Notorious official criminals in Nigeria

by Shuma Maliga

NIGERIA TOP TEN ARMED ROBBERS

1. DR. OYENUSI- The greatest Nigerian armed robber in history and number One Nigeria Armed Robber. Oyenusi is a Yoruba man from Osun State.

2. BABATUNDE - another notorious armed robber from Yoruba who bastardized white lace in his days with his gang. He operated with his gang almost the same time with Dr. Oyenusi- (the greatest Nigerian Armed robber in history).

3. FOLORUNSO - another powerful known armed robber of Yoruba origin who stole with blood in his hands. He was Babatunde's best friend and they rob most times as a gang. He was said to have impregnated one of Babatunde's wives before he was killed.

4. SHINA RAMBO: A no nonsense Armed Robber. Nobody knows whether he is for real or a myth. He is also proudly Yoruba.

5. LAWRENCE NOMAYAGBON ANINI- A celebrity Armed Robber that made dummies out of the Nigerian police in the 80's. Lawrence Anini whose gangs caused fear and terror in Benin. He was from(Mid West) today's Edo state and his mother is Yoruba. Many believed he's smart in Robbery but not still as smarter or dangerous like Dr. Oyenusi(the greatest Nigerian Armed Robber).

6. MONDAY OSUNBOR- Another bloody Armed Robber of Yoruba origin. Osunbor is Anini's deputy.

7. Inspector GEORGE IYAMU. Remember he was the senior Cop that made Anini's career successful. He was a top Armed Robber in police uniform. He supplied intelligence and Arms to Anini's gang. He was number three in Anini's Gang and number seven in Nigeria's Armed Robbers history book. He's also a Yoruba man.

8. KAYODE WILLIAMS- Another brutal Armed Robber in history who later turned Pastor. The son of famous Mrs. Williams. Kayode was Oyenusi's best friend and he is Yoruba.

You're somehow right ritual killing is done in the whole of subsaharan africa but skull mining is another level of ritual killing that is unknown to the whole world even Nigerians find it hard to comprehend. Newspapers are abound with stories of skull mining in the Sad Waste. The level of skull mining being done in Ogun State is out of the ordinary. I was made to know that skull mining is Yoruba people's heritage and no amount of awareness can stop it.
