So white men saw the most accomodating sophisticated tribe and built a bridge for omo ibos ?

OP, would have been nice if you had made your point and not taken the thread down to the level of trolling. Don’t sink to their level.

The bridge is one of two or more built at the turn of the 20th century in a lush nature reserve where the colonial gov’t resided in Onitsha. The area we now know today as Onitsha GRA. A suspension bridge was also built in the area around the same time by the colonial administration.

The pics are from a website named A Mighty Tree (named after Obi Okosi of Onitsha), and it chronicles the developments and upward socio-economic trajectory Onitsha was witnessing at the time the author was based in the city….developments cut short by the daft Nzeogwu led coup!

The most useless post I've ever seen on nairaland.
When you want to be a tribal bigot to be one with guile.

Osu pig , educate yourself. See proper bridge built in Lagos earlier . Not this Dino Mrlaye kind of bridge for transporting sub humanoid inferior Iborilla pigs

Additionally, Lagos had bridges , electricity, rail and telephone when your dumb ancestors were still butt maked and leaving on trees before Ajayi Crowther discovered and clothed them

Your cowardly ancestors led by Azikwe and Ironsi organized the coup to seize control of power from their Fulani overlords whom they had gone into an alliance with at independence.

The foolish Iborillas who act before reasoning thought the Northerners would be pliable . Little did they know the Northerners who indeed had a well developed society while the nyamuris were still leaving naked on trees saw through them .
Of course , the Sardauna made Azikwe totally useless and helpless and they did a coup to salvage the situation

But it’s not really about stealing power . Can you maintain it ?

The Northerners responded in a disproportionate manner literally sodomizing the Iborilla pigs .

That IBO coup of 1966 is the singular reason why Nigeria would never come out of the woods

Advise your Nnmadi Cownu to stop barking like a dog in the courtroom...this will not help him...like play...he has spent four years in detention...this is the tenure of any head of state in Nigeria. Perhaps Kalu will be sworn in as president of the Nigeria DSS branch's prisoners.

It's out of President Tinubu's hands.

Kanu offended some powerful people, the day President Tinubu chook mout would be his last day in office.

Nnamdi Kanu made his bed, let him lie on it.

Kanu will die in jail.
Ekpa may still be released at old age to die at home, but you see Kanu, that one will die in jail.
