This thread is most unnecessary at a time like this. Fact is there are more unknown Igbo billionaires in the Lagos than just these names. The Op cannot say he knows how each & every Igbo billionaire started their journey to wealth. Till he was kidnapped and brutally murdered, very few people knew that the CEO of Firman generators was of Igbo extraction. Whether they made their money in Lagos or not, the important part there is that they finally made it big! Pocket no be showglass, so quit counting other people’s money with your imagination. Go out there and get yours! |

mrvitalis:Stop deceiving yourself! Arrogance we are talking about is feeling too elated to admit your fault. It has nothing to do with 'riches or wealth'. It is the same arrogance that makes you over rated yourself as being rich why it is just based on emptiness. You don't measure up to yorubas in every standard of measurement, but you always like hiding under deceit on empty chest beating. Yorubas dominate every corporate areas tech, banking, oil and gas, entertainment, media, education and many more. Even businesses you think you dominate are just 2x2 shops that are even full of product fakeness, and mostly used as cover up for illegal underground businesses like illegal drug front store, faking baby teething powder and selling 'fufu' as latest iphone. How can you claim to be rich when you are the leading criminal minded in Nigeria and abroad where majority confessed to perpetrate crime due to poverty? Is there any day at least 10 Biafrans will not be caught for commiting crime all over the world due to poverty? Where is the riches where baby factory and cannibalism spring up in your domain due to poverty? As I am typing now, you and I know that there are clinic, hotel and religion centers being used as front for baby factories undetected yet selling whole human beings for 50k due to poverty. So where is the riches? Many owner of beautiful mansions built in South east lied in waste because owners are now in prison for illegality and drugs related offences? So, where is the true riches? As I am typing now, some one is being duped in one 2x2 shop by Emeka, Uche in Ogbete market, Alaba market, Computer village and many more giving 'fufu' for latest Android phone, so; tell me, where is the riches? If Nigeria is bad and named zoo, who makes it zoo? Are they not biafrans who are caught in Cambodia, Ghana, south Africa, Dubai, India and many more on daily basis in crime related offences? How many legal Igbo richest men beat cut off for Africa and world rating without scandal? Until you learn to admit your fault, you will keep repeating your mistake. The arrogance here is not about riches but about over rating yourself too high that you can look down to admit your fault and correct them. Nobody hates Igbo in real-life, but you must learn to be submissive to admit and correct your weak areas Sturboness in this context is not about opinion or right to vote, but rather too rigid to admit/accept your fault and make amendment where necessary just like goat keeps going back to where it was beating over and over. So don't hide under logic to put yourself in the ladder of self deceit. Yorubas made their point clear to you in non-physical combat, make amendment so it won't repeat itself. One Nigeria doesn't mean you shouldn't know your boundary or learn to leave peacefully with your hosts like many other tribes are doing 2 Likes |

Re: Please Who Are The Igbo Men That Came To Lagos With Nothing And Made Money by sreamsense: 11:51am On Mar 21, 2023 |
mrvitalis:Your problem is not about supporting Tinubu, himself; never complained about you despite lots of insult you heaped on him. As an experienced politician, he already factored in South east that no matter what he does to them; they won't support his political ambition based on historical facts. He knew and he played rilegion card to catch northern muslims to support him. He knew he woundn't have problem with yoruba-christians because they are one from onset, but igbo-christians will never vote for him even if he choose Christian as running mate. At the end of the day, he won based on his political calculation. Regarding your fault, first; always understand arrogance, stuborness in its right context and when you see area you are arrogant or proving stuborn, you make quick ammendment without people reminding you. In what transpired in Lagos governorship election which brought out these issues and disagreement; three major yoruba candidates were on ballot; yorubas gave you reasons that one of them is pretender-Yoruba who has insulted same Yoruba he wants to rule in the past through series of his tweets, he also went ahead to hide his Yoruba name while studying abroad calling himself Patric because he was not proud of being yorubas; himself also said he was not even the type that thinks like yorubas properbly Yoruba blood is not flowing in him or has been bastardized; moreover, he could not even speak Yoruba language of people he wants to represent, he has been sympathetic ambassador of Ipob/esn that is rated no-10 terrorist group in the world and worst still he has no political experience compare to sanwoOlu to rule Lagos. These are the main reasons yorubas said they don't want him. However, Igbos insisted,determined to support and impose what yorubas don't want among the three yoruba candidates on them because they think he is more original Lagosian and because they want LP to win in order to say obi won Lagos hands down. Why is it that this (that looks like parasitic enemy of yorubas) is the same person that igbos like to choose/support and impose among the three yorubas? If you can not support political interest of yorubas your host to move Lagos forward, why are you trying to destroy the same Lagos where you are benefitting? If the yorubas have not been choosen good leaders to rule Lagos, will you find it comfortable to leave and work? How is the position of yorubas difficult to understand for igbos in making choices among the three yorubas? Why must it always be the enemy Yoruba hate that Igbo always like? Even when they voted for obasanjo, it was opposite of what Yoruba wanted because Yoruba wanted Falae then. If you can't help yorubas in Lagos to acheive their political aims, better not to make noise; just do it quietly to whoever you like or staff off from participating. So, question is not about wheather they are three yorubas or not; the point is you insisted and determined to vote odd and questionable Yoruba among the three when yorubas had made their valid point clear why he was not their choice. I am sure Igbos in Lagos only wanted to win Lagos for obi kekerenke so they can keep bragging in their usual style that they won Lagos landlord hands down just because they hate Tinubu that never looks harmful to them. How can yorubas in Lagos use Lagos, No1 richest in Nigeria and 5th in Africa for obi kekerenke experiment via proxy-yoruba LP candidate? How can Lagos fall in the hand of premature candidates when Lagos landlord is already the president where Lagos should benefit immensely? When Lagos is undergoing serious infrastructural and industrial revolution? It can't be handed over for Obi/LP experiment. If Igbos are hurt, sorry to them; but they caused it. They should always know when their hosts are serious or joking 2 Likes |

mrvitalis:Yes, you are right, same thing transpired during Jimi Agbaje because of the same Nzogbu, Nsogbu politics that repeats itself every four years. Yorubas did not want Agbaje then because only one better choice is needed at a time, but Igbos always prefer opposite of what Yoruba want. Leave Tinubu alone because he never ruled you and yorubas never called you to help them removed him otherwise, your over ambitious or too know will always put you in problem. How many good leaders have you choosen for yourself in the south east that you want to help yoruba choosen better leader than Tinubu in Lagos. South east that is not being ruled by Tinubu, how many of your states are better than Tinubu Lagos before you can advice yorubas on better options? Do you want Lagos to be like Abia where they share kerosene or like Anambra where Ipob/esn no-10 terrorist organization in the world uses as headquarters? Tinubu Lagos is no-1 in Nigeria in term of riches and 5-in Africa , but you want Lagos to change who made it possible because you think yorubas are slaves to Tinubu dynasty. That's just your problem why you misbehave and can't recognize your boundary again. When it is time to change Tinubu, all yorubas will know, but Tinubu himself never goes beyond his boundary; so why should he be removed or replaced? Yorubas are not hateful to that extent and they are more educated than you, you don't teach them how to run their affair. You can change all your leaders in South east and put unprepared, trial-and-error candidates from LP from top to bottom since you experiment first before you think while Yoruba thinks first before making experimental move. You hated Buhari without any reason only because you think he is jihadist then. Now that he has finished his tenure, how many people in Nigeria has he forced to convert to Muslims? You kept hating Tinubu for no reason based on assumptions and facts that are not prove able, yet he kept showering you love. Your hatred always backfire at you. It is the same hatred of buhari that pushed kanu to leave in the prison yard like animals in the zoo. It is the same hatred of Buhari that made Ipob/esn to start living in the bush like wild animals eating human beings and worshiping shrines. It is the same hatred of Buhari that pushes Ipob/esn factions to start killing themselves and killing their Igbo brothers and sisters. Now that you started hating Tinubu for no tangible or verifiable facts, you are preparing to harm yourself the more. If you don't begin to form alliance with others now by first start removing arrogance among yourself so you can work with other rich and poors, you will still come back another four years to add to your talkies: Jimi Agbaje, GRV,... which is what Soludo called Nsogbu, Nsogbu politics 1 Like |
