Chevron, Mobil , Total all have their HQ in Lagos

The HEADQUARTERS of Chevron (which has de-invested from Nigeria) and Mobil are in USA while that of Total is in FRANCE.

What they have in Nigeria are Regional Offices.

I am talking about the Nigerian head office not world HQ, let me help you a bit . Most oilcos have their head offices in Texas and not Washington DC or California

Private companies are at liberty to have their offices anywhere.

Lies again, oil company head offices were ordered to relocate to Lagos January 1970 after the civil war using decree 6

Post such Decree.
Were the Headquarters of Chevron, Shell and Total ever in Sapele, Oloibiri or Port-Harcourt?

You should be telling this your tales to people like okonjo iweala,jj okocha, etc not me..

Igbos in The east alone can deal with you when the time comes..


For now enjoy when it last..

But just no that VENGEANCE is fast approaching..

And who ever that have hand in the death of any Igbo person will pay..

Asaba Man Responds On Facebook To Asaba Is Igbo Claims

Asaba Inlaw: "In This Whole World You Couldn’t Find Anyone To Marry But An Igbo"

Short story: One of my earliest and most persistent memories is this - near my village, 1 kilometer from Asaba, was a camp where people lived.
Who are they I asked - “Wa bu Ndigbo” I was told. Translation: “They are Igbos”.
I was confused. Aren’t we Igbos, but I said nothing.
Another occasion I heard some commotion in the direction of the camp. Oh don’t be worried I was told. They are Igbos. Again so thought but we are igbos!

Fast forward 3 decades.
A friend of mine from Aba who married from Asaba, over a beer told me “I can’t get over Asaba people. During my native law, my wife’s people kept abusing her in the same language I spoke. They kept saying ‘so in this whole world, you couldn’t find anyone to marry but an Igbo?’”
These are true accounts.
People from my area… even the indigenes of ONITSHA (I’ve been told) consider themselves Not Igbo.
I grew up seeing my people refer to others as “Those Igbo people”.
I have just learnt that the phrase “Igbo enwere Eze” was coined by core Igbos to separate themselves from the Onitsha indigenes…
Following that logic, Asaba nwere eze .... kedụ ka ọ ga-esi bụrụ igbo?
ka anyi biri n’udo nwanne m nwoke
m zuru ikpe m

It’s not an issue to be swept under the carpet. We need to consider it seriously.

Just because everyone in America speaks English doesn’t change their ancestry (some are of German, Italian, Russian, African, Chinese ancestry...).
Ancestry can only be determined scientifically by DNA analysis. My sister discovered she has ancestors from Mali, Senega... of course!! The river Niger flows through those nations before it passes the shores of my village which sits on the West Bank of the Niger net Asaba.

Bottom line, you cannot teach a man how to write with his left hand in old age.
The real issue is why so many Igbo speaking people reject the idea they’re Igbo. (Like some Egyptians in an interview I watched - who can’t understand why they’re considered Africans at all!).
Let’s have an academic discussion why!
We may learn valuable lessons.

Good morning.

*****The heavy cannibal lines on below map indicate the limits of Igbo land and culture. All who fall outside the cannibal line are not Igbos. Plain to see.

Biafra was an unqualified evil in minority lands. They just plundered the place, raping men and women. We were nothing to them. otherwise, how do you explain this so-called map of the new Biafra that still includes minority lands? Who told them the Isokos want to be in Biafra? Have they asked your people?

Biafra was a Land Grab Operation by Ojukwu disguised as a secession
