In as much as Reno Omokri is apt in his response and has being able to pierce the bitter truth into the stubborn ears of our distant neighbour, omoluabis still see and regard Omokri as a spoilt child forming familiarity with the neighbor he once disrespected.

If Yoruba could treat Ambode Bleep+up, and place Rauf Aregbeshola in his place for making a derogatory comment, who is Omokri to think the Yoruba would now be dancing to his skirmishes with Igbo?

Ten thousand songs of praise from Reno and his eulogizes won't make Tinubu's government grant him a state pardon, he should better start adapting to his hideout, he has more than 16 years to spend in asylum.

Reno must enjoy the consequence of his running mouth

Dear @samsmbah,

Thank you for your feedback. You may or may not be right that our Igbo brethren control 60% of Lagos' wealth. However, according to renowned economist, Adam Smith in his book, The Wealth of Nations, the capital and wealth of a state is usually controlled by manufacturers.

Our Igbo brothers and sisters are not heavily into manufacturing in Lagos. They have a cluster in Nnewi, but are not known manufacturers in Lagos or its neighbouring states. They are more into trading. Thus, it would be strange if they control 60% of Lagos' wealth.

Before your 'revelation', I had seen data showing that when you take into account the volume of taxes paid to the Lagos State Government, Oando, Globacom, Forte Oil, Guinness Nigeria, Nigerian Breweries Limited, Nigerian Bottling Company, West African Portland Cement Company, Nestle Nigeria, Flower Mills of Nigeria, Unilever PLC, and Seven-Up Bottling, which are either wholly or partially owned by persons of Southwest origin, control the largest percentage of Lagos' wealth.

With regard to non-Yoruba capitalists, from the same data pool, I was under the impression that the Dangote Group, BUA Group, and Intels, owned either wholly or partially by Northern Nigerian Fulani, were the largest non-Yoruba investors in Lagos.

But perhaps you have access to data not available to the World Bank, so I will give you the benefit of the doubt and say maybe you are right.

With regards to the 20 pounds issue, historical records prove that the Federal Military Government of General Yakubu Gowon, through radio broadcasts, urged people in the breakaway region of Biafra not to accept the Biafran Pounds as Nigeria would not recognise it.

Upon this announcement by the Federal Military Government, many prudent 'Biafrans' withdrew all their Nigerian Naira and kept it at home. One such Biafran was Evelyn Okororie, who is still alive and told her story to CNN, which published it on January 16, 2020, in a piece titled 'Biafra war: Survivors relive account 50 years after Nigerian civil war ends.'

After the war ended, the Biafran Pound was useless. Even Colonel Emeka Ojukwu did not take them with him when he fled Nigeria to Ivory Coast.

The £20 was a gift from Chief Obafemi Awolowo to Biafrans. He did not have to do it. Both Gowon and his military colleagues were against it.

After the Union defeated the Confederate states during the American Civil War, the Confederate States' dollars became worthless from May 26, 1865. The Union did not give any $20 to holders of the Confederate States dollars, as it should be. After the war, holders of the Confederate States dollars just lost their money. Period. That is the sad reality of war.

As for an Igbo man "bowing" to no one, I counsel you to listen to the 'Yes Daddy' audio between Peter Obi and Bishop Oyedepo.

Thanks again, and may God bless you.

I experience one bragging here in UK on Christmas day. Shame catch me

I came out to relax and met this guy from Anambra. He was bragging heaven and hell to every other person...how he is earning over a salary of 1 million naira, how he got am offer of 2.5 million from Interswitch before travelling, how his father would have contested and win election as the governor of Anambra if not for the objection by his mother, how he is a licenced football coach in the UK, how he was a top footballer and would have been in the Nigerian Olympic team, how yoruba and hausa hate the igbos, how the igbos are fearless and would always stand fir the truth, how the ignos would never bow to any mortal, how they Re the most intelligent ethnicity in Africa and make up 60 percent of black doctors in the US etc. How Nigeria is finished bla bla bla.
Was telling all these rubbish to non Nigerian. I was the only Nigerian there. I no talk o but I was ashamed for the guy
Oh, I remember hom saying the Northerners are so dull and the Government ways favor them to the point that an Igbo is expected to score
400/500 in common entrance while the Hausas 2/500. At that point, I was so angry and interrupted him that he was lying and he said he will give me evidence and everyone keep asking for evidence which never came put, how Hausa prople locked Awolowo and Ojukwu released him and later turned to betray Ojukwu...All this bragging in day o. Intact how Nigeria is finished because Obi was not allowed

They know the truth but they must just come with narratives to hype themselves.

Always laughable when some folks think the wealth of the south west is in the hands of non Yorubas

Not being mischievous but,
Igbos do not own up to 5% of Lagos wealth.

They should be ashamed of themselves instead of empty chest beating. Even the market they are managing themselves in and shouting like its the only thing in Lagos was given to them for free so that they can stop cannibalizing themselves because of abject poverty and starvations.

Igbos can not stay on their own, they do not have the brain. I say this with full chest!

PHAYOL81:
And how many times would we tell the disillusionists that CHIEF OBAFEMI AWOLOWO merely did them some good out of kindness but the headless MOB would rather go along with the HATE implanted in them by their parents/grandparents？
THE same AWOLOWO is now the topic of their hate,curse and vexation .



@Ttalk, are you sure you're of YORUBA descent or race because this your comment deviate far away from the legacy the tribe stands for？ President TINUBU had never pronouced any hate/indictment against him, and neither had the NIGERIAN state. HE was even in the country a couple of months back and no hell was loose. PRESIDENT TINUBU never even cared. SO I don't understand how that hate-filled content represent the feelings of the tribe whether home or abroad, eventhough WE ALWAYS THREAD CAUTIOUSLY AROUND CHARACTER LIKE RENO's, YET WE DON'T CASTIGATE THEM UNTIL THEY MAKE FATAL ERROR.

Igbos getting schooled back to back on all social media platform

Sometimes, you just have to wonder if school actually passed through most of them...Even the the brightest chinua Achebe was as daft in logical reasoning as the least educated Anayo who hawks gala around Lagos highways

Spits on that tribe of Sub-humans

Dafresh:
Reno opinion on £20 doesn't matter. You gave someone that has millions £20 and you're talking nonsense, after the war Yorubas supposed to overtake Igbos but because of laziness Igbos are ahead of you people, if reverse was the case.

PHAYOL81:
Another blame game？ You never get tired of it. First of, the loss ain't no ones faults but yourselves. the government warned pre-civil war against the acceptance of the BIAFRAN currency but the fuuls amongst the EASTERNERS were all ego and no wisdom: hence they converted all they got thinking that's the end but the wise one rather saved their withdrawn savings at home with so little converted. When the parties got back together after the war, the former's f00lishness was crystal clear same as the wisdom of the latter. NOBODY OWED NO ONE NO COMPENSATION AS THEY WERE FOREWARNED.
TWO: that ￡20 back then was a lot of money that was supposed to be enough as temporary upkeep/succour till the survivors found their footings, and not a stake for investment. CHIEF AWOLOWO was a merciful leader and having thought the people who were coming off a serious phase of hunger would need a HELPING HAND decided to provide the temporary measure that would ease their troubles. It was an humanitarian gift, if he'd not done it, he'd still have owed no one nothing.

AS for the IGBOs being ahead of the YORUBAs, that's purely a baseless assumption borne out of your beer palour chestbeating discussion. YOU GUYS JUST LOVE TO MAKE YOURSELVES HAPPY WITH FAKE STATS, DATA, AND HISTORY.

You can abuse your fellow Nairaland here as you like but don't ever include Chinua Achebe in your nonsense bigotry . This was a renowned writer and should not be dishonored in your stupid chat on Nairaland by twisted morons like you .
Children born in the 2000s seems to know nothing about history because thier lives start and end on social media . Pls keep late Chinua Achebe out of this your nonsense. Thesame way I would never insult a renowned writer such Wale Soyinka , late JP Clark , Cyprian Ekwensi and other old renowned writers and poets in Nigeria .
I am from the Naija Delta B4 you will tag me as Igbo too just becos bigots like you do not know other ethnic group outside the three main tribes .
