The bitterness in your tone can turn truckload of sugar into bile!

Where were you when your kinsmen in alaba market where abusing the other race? Of course your were playing ostrich....but two can play the game....

Same thing your people did to make Buhari call them Dot in a Circle region! That speaks volumes.
Dude, don’t talk as if your historical hatred for the Igbo started after 2015 when the calamitous Buhari connived and rigged himself into Aso-Rock! Pray tell, what ‘justification’ did your Buhari have for him, a so called president, uttering the unfortunate ‘dot-in-a-circle’ comment? And while you’re at it, equally tell us why he made the 5%/97% comment! I don’t remember the exact words he used, but i do remember what he said was manifestly unjust, unpresidential and vindictive!

Buharis’ disdain for the Igbo didn’t start after the 2015 elections! He was not just anti-Igbo, but was also a bigot, an Islamic fundamentalist and an ethnic supremacist to boot! It comes as no surprise though that you hold his divisive statements in high regard! Both of you have a mutual hatred for the Igbo and you’re both staunch two-faced ‘one Nigerianists’!

Everyone on the list are like you 40 years ago, average citizen and average quality of life. Difference? Modesty and humility!

Dangote is worth 24 billion usd dollars but still drives himself occasionally. Not like the lousy money na water gang!
Can you quit with your Dangote this…Dangote that! The man doesn’t have any extraordinary business acumen, but what i’d concede to him is that he made the most of his people’s total hegemonic control of the Nigerian polity!

Much more than what you see on the surface: favourable gov’t policies in which a select few got first pickings or gov’t enabled preferential treatment; easy access to bank loans; easy access to FOREX at exclusive rates; etc….much more than this was what went on behind the scenes: clandestine and subterranean moves which ensured the Hausa-Fulani/core-north military, entrepreneurial and political class cornered all the lucrative and juicy opportunities in politics, governance and business for themselves, and this was what gave Dangote the edge over everyone else! Like i said and conceded, he does have a bit of a flair for business given his family antecedents, and it was this flair, combined with being part of the clique that ‘owned’ Nigeria, that saw him get to where he is today!

With such a powerful and inherently anti-Igbo hegemony controlling Nigerias’ political and economic fortunes, what chance did a Ibeto for instance stand against such a force? The playing field was rigged in favour of some and against others!

You’re either a impostor pretending to be Igbo so you can kickstart in earnest the mass wankfest of the e-thugs on this thread….either that, or you’re one naive Igbo for you not to understand why the insecure fckers keep on creating new threads on this very same topic and pushing it to front page!

The last thread on this, they created about a week or so ago, to which i gave a robust response to their gloating, ethnic baiting and wankathon! My post was successfully submitted, but when i checked back about a minute later, someone with the power to do so had sneakily used the autobot ban thingy to hide my post and ban me from the culture section for 5 days just so they could carry on in ‘peace’ with their mocking, gloating and abuse of Ndigbo without that ‘i-too-sabi okoro’ interjecting and ruining things for them! I just looked at the entire episode and laughed! grin

It’s like these insecure Igbo-hating bigots constantly need to reassure themselves that they’re doing better than the Igbo in order to have some sort of validation in life and be able to sleep well! They need to be pitied and not laughed at!
THANK YOU! This thread is the biggest circle jerk I've ever seen in my life. It's not enough to have posted this same exact topic 2-3x. They have to have the same discussion a fourth time just to bring up Igbo people as if there are not hundreds of other tribes in Nigeria. Like you said, it is truly pitiful. I feel sorry for them.

Try to use your brain sometimes. The name Adebayo Ogunlesi seems to you as a member of the British royal family?
