EmmaJnr1:
You are correct.

The Queen had visited Nigeria sometime in 1956, signed some papers with a man named Louis Odumegwu .O, took (borrowed) a three full plane load of money belonging to a Bank called ACB, money was over 500billion pounds at that time, masterminded a war afterwards, during that war, destroyed all documents containing the deal (money borrowed) with the said man, about a year after eliminating the said man. Mr Louis was eliminated by the Queen.

Britain worked against the creation of a country as Biafra. Britain was 70% built with money and resources borrowed from the said nation (Biafra). People must understand, the Queen had committed a lot of atrocities in the past, Biafra which should be the richest in the world today, is currently being kept under the carpet. But In no time, this country would be declared, these money would be returned. These are facts you won’t see anywhere near the google or Wikipedia. The mainstream is controlled by the agendists.

The level of ignorance some of you people exhibit here is just pathetic, so she borrowed 500billion pounds the equivalent of $1.5t from here , so ojukwu and Biafra borrowed her almost the equivalent of Africa 's entire GDP now and the gdp of most current western countries.
I'm not surprised someone like you would think this is true,I mean you've got to be pretty dumb to think they'll full 3 planes with money or 3 planes can hold $50b cash not to talk of $500b

Yorubas to the World

You are funny, you think these white people actually care about you or your tribe? Most of them don't even know if there is a group of people called Yoruba or Igbo or Hausa, they just see you as another black man in Africa. All they care about is what they can benefit or take from you so they can use it to better the lives of their people.

They think of their people, they put themselves first before others. But here in Africa, we put tribe and other race first.

When a person looks at you and an Igbo man, all he sees are two black men. You are black first before being Yoruba or Christian or Muslim. Tribe and religion are just things that you picked up after you were born. That is why your tribe and religion can be taken from you but your blackness cannot be taken or hidden, it is engraved in your DNA.

I said all these because you are trying to segregate yourself, instead of saying Nigeria to the World or Africa to the World, you said Yoruba to the World cus you think you are different from an Igbo or Urhobo man.

Yes, you are right.Thats why we also have blacks in there regions too. It has advantage and disadvantages.

These are the few that benefited from slave trade. Mind you! Africans sold Africans.

goslowgoslow:

Lol..... haven't you seen pictures of world war in colours? Why are you bitter!

I like seeing things in there original state.

You don't know this people
They are very smart and calculative
Ghana: Ashanti empire, Nigeria: Oyo empire, Benin Republic: kingdom of Dahomey

These where some of the kingdoms that participated in the slave trade.
What the whites did was that, if they come to you and you refuse to sell slaves to them, they will go to the next kingdom and buy slaves and exchange it with guns.

As a result, those other kingdoms become more powerful than the ones that refuse to sell slaves

So in other to stay strong(having guns) you have to sell slaves otherwise your neighboring kingdoms will be stronger than you and may one day invade.

That was the technique they used.

pocohantas:


Lol. Your finance minister openly said Naira would fall flat. Did it occur to you that we modern slave workers would be one of the leading beneficiaries of this?

I am sure you would blame this on the late queen too. Egg head!

Na why I dey respect you. You think for yourself and have your own character. Unlike some who believe in following every goddamned trend.

Zoharariel:


You don’t know these people like I do. Every single one of them was baptized with the water of lies, hatred, bitterness, propaganda & Cocaine-trafficking from birth.

And you are a perfect and spotless being?

annyz:

I believe you have coloured TV in your home.

ijebu ode is known for intellectuals and billionaires bt also misers or let me say economists.

bergs2:


I was never even referring to the house.
I am only stating the obvious:
More than 90% of our early billionaires were the direct beneficiaries including our own Odumegwu Ojukwu

Lies, slave trade ended in the mid 1800s.
The last known wealthy slave trader was Madam Tinubu.
The generation that came after her had Da Rocha (Darosha) and other returning slaves, they made their wealth from their knowledge of goods to export.
Then came in the Ojukwu, Odutola and co, they dealt with the Royal Niger Company and made money trading commodities.

Na now you know all these.. if that castle were to be in Igbo land we for no rest! Igbo is this, Igbo is that! Now you dey preach unity! All of una na the same thing.

MonsieurX:


There's a difference between slave trade and colonialism, these are 2 distant eras. The queen never enslaved any Africans, before everybody becomes an online activist, try to get proper knowledge.

Perhaps Mary Slessor too shouldn't have stopped the killing of twins in Nigeria because African societies were "perfect"

Colonialism was what ushered Africa into the present stage of enlightenment and development. What would we achieve without Christianity and education?

Just like the Uju woman insulting people up and down on Twitter, most of you love to deceive yourselves.

Exactly

goslowgoslow:

No it hasn't being remodeled, that house was pulled down four times during construction before the one you are seeing.

Colour TVs show things in their original state.

Lol. So says a Hypocritical, Suicidal, Genocidal, Gaslighting, Skull mining, scamming, Lying, cowardly, backstabbing, tribalistic, truth-hating shit eater.

Corridon:
Why's the house supposedly built in the 50s in coloured pictures but the one with the queen is in black and white? Propaganda is the word here.

Same must have been renovated of cause!

Wow i admire this building ,still look like Murden day building .good thing is good .

You think that's the way it was built the first time. The current could be after series of modifications and renovations. The picture too is a recent one.

Yankee101:
Do well anything you’ve got to do
This house still looks modern today

Interesting story

But I find it hard to believe that the Queen went to Ijebu Ode, and there is no picture of this historic visit

Aunticate this story by posting a picture of the Queen visiting Ijebu Ode as such visit would been groundbreaking at the time

Queen Elizabeth II with Ijebu-Ode
(Original Caption) 2/18/1956-Nigeria- The Queen leaving the dais with Governor of the Western Region when she visited Ijebu-ode en route to Lagos on the closing stages of the Royal Nigerian Tour.

Biodun556:
When Queen Elizabeth came to Nigeria In 1960 before the independence, we reveal to you where she passed the night.

When we talk of Nigeria history, the Ijebu people will always be noted as one of the wealthiest Billionaire tribes and there is in another dimension as they’ve been rich right from the pre-colonial era.

One of the Notable billionaire of the old who flexed their dough hard includes Ijebu born businessman and philanthropist, Timothy Adeola Odutola. Before we go into the evergreen edifice this man built, we would love to run a short profile of him.
Chief Timothy Adeola Odutola (1902- 95) Is a prominent businessman and Philanthropist from #Ijebu-Ode.

He attended St Saviours Primary School Italope and Ijebu-Ode Grammar School. He started work in the Colonial Service and later went into business selling damask and fish.

He became a Produce buyer opening large storage units and transportation lines. By 1960 he had created a conglomerate including three factories, a retail franchise, a cattle ranch, a 5,000-acre rubber and palm oil plantation, a sawmill, and export business.

Chief Odutola became so rich that he had a personal relationship with the father of Queen Elizabeth, George VI.

In 1956 during her Official visit to Nigeria, the Queen of England; Queen Elizabeth II was scheduled to visit only Ibadan, Enugu and Kaduna as the regional capitals.

Queen Elizabeth requested her visit be rerouted to include Ijebu-Ode to enable her to visit Chief Timothy Adeola Odutola, the Ogbeni Oja, her father’s friend who usually wined and dined with the royals at Buckingham Palace.

She passed a night at Ijebu-Ode and what a privileged visit indeed. Behold the Adeola Odutola Lodge, Ijebu-Ode (built, 1939).

Make no mistakes, wealth is royalty.

ghettochild:

I'm from ijebu ode....the house is been maintained n people live inside that house...my aunt is married to the odutolas and live in the building behind the so called castle.
So use ur sense n type reasonable things.

Nice. Sadly, it seems none of the children was able to attained their father's height

People working for him would be the slaves he purchased. Working for free and making more money for himself.

AdamuKD:
Nonsense queen of genocide, ask Palestinians, Indians, South Africans and Igbo people. Rot in hell

You failed to talk about the evil committed by islamist in sokoto, Kano, plateau, venue etc... All your brain could think of is to condemn the queen while blood sucking maniac rampage in states of the north killing innocent people. You people are just hypocrites

Nairaland ati fake news are a love story better than Twilight.

Judolisco:
500 billon pounds in 1956 make una dey lie small small now... If ojukwu had dat type of money then he was the richest in the world as at then

Sir Louis Odumegwu Ojukwu KBE was the first Billionaire in Nigeria. This figure seems unrealistic though. But Ojukwu wanted to further expand his business Empire across the Niger for which he was seen as a threat due to his overbearing influence, wealth and refusal to submit to their infamous interests. Thus the British interest did all to scuttle his visions and plans. As at his death Sir Ojukwu was was worth $40Billion dollars. As a Biafran we don't peddle uncouth and unsubstantiated facts. IGBO is BIAFRA and BIAFRA is TRUTH.

I cannot substantiate the figure made (They are obviously false) and whether that event infact happened. All i know is that the Brits like everybody else has always been afraid of the IGBO man as we worship no man born by a woman. And because of our UNSLAVISH spirit they always favoured Hausas and Yorubas with ease. (They love their subjects respectful and submissive)

What about the toilet wey she poo?

Daum:



70% of Britain was built from Biafra money

Oga you can talk rubbish ehn....you just open mouth waaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Make una day lie with respect Abeg

Thebadpolitican:



What are you even saying so if we remained like d way we were before their arrival we would cease to exist

Abi na modernization they sweet you....

Africans we rich in their own way but the arrival of the Europeans

They created a society unique to them that really didnt depend on money

If the Europeans really wanted to help us they should have given us medicine which our people would have learnt as a skill willingly apart from medicine i see nothing more regarding their help, overtime we could then decide to embrace other aspect that comes with modernization with our own modifications


Let me ask you, what is so special about modernization if as modernise as the world we are yet to tackle covid, hiv that has been brought up modernization itself?

Some of you think u can question everything because u can read n write. Oga u can still go nomadic nobody is holding you back n there is still so much forest around. After all, some believe western education is a sin. They will be happy to accept u

AlfaSeltzer:


Argentinians are celebrating live on National television. The Irish are giving them wotowoto on Twitter.

The British are waking up to the reality that they are not that liked around the world.

Story! Yet the whole world leader are paying tribute to the queen. Even Nigeria flag would be at half mast from tomorrow! Check your mentality man! That's why una no fit grow!
