What I have found is that a lot of Nigerians have been brainwashed into thinking that it is state and geopolitical zones that determines ones ethnic group. States and geopolitical zones are just mere political creations, none of them existed before the civil war

Questioning if Asaba, capital of Delta State, was developed by Igbo's is laughable as Asaba has always been an Igbo city. The 5 communities that make up Asaba, Umueze, Umuagu, Umuaji, Umuonaje and Ugbomanta, all bear Igbo names and speak Igbo as their ancestral language. The original name of Asaba before the coming of the White man was "Ahaba"

And just in case you want to argue that Asaba is not Igbo, argue with the long time King of Asaba, Asagba of Asaba, Obi Chike Edozien, who passed away last year. He was King of Asaba for almost 35 years and never hid the fact he was a proud Igbo man

These was meant to distract the gullible ahead of the elections. Surprisingly, Nigerians still fall for it.

Asaba developed rapidly as a result of Nollywood celebrities who ran away from Enugu due to lack of water in that town and they settled down in Asaba. Today, Asaba is the capital of Nigeria's movie industry.

Is it possible to develop another while yours is in abject deficit and underdeveloped.

You can’t be wasting a car you ain’t driving.

Enough said.

Gaslighting, manipulation, hypocrisy, and the real tribalism, No tribe in this entity called Nigeria has all these traits more than the Igbos. This is the bitter truth.

That is why it is always important to critically note and follow history. When Ahmadu Bello said and I quote, "we the northerners are not alive to their responsibilities", I felt that in my bone. Same way I also felt that the North were being selfish or were just trying to exercise their dominance in the Nigerian political realm. Little did I know that he and the foremost Northerners had seen the Igbos for what they truly are.

This renaming of streets of a thing that the Westerners are now up to, is probably the most subtle thing they'll ever do to project back their dominance over their lands and protection of their heritage and culture, at the very least. This Eastern folks should really be ready for much more and I repeat, there is nothing that will happen to them that they haven't done to others.

Now to my main point and issue I have with these folks- tribalism. This word has been a word each of them have mastered well, but without understanding what it truly means to be tribalistic. The Igbos are the typical pots that call the kettle black and it is unfortunate that they have no one to ever call them to order and set them on the right path. If the last election is anything to go by, the Igbos exhibited severe tribalism and the statistics of the votes will always prove this. All in the bid to have their kinsmen in power, they are ready to even turn on their mothers. Not to mention what the international community thinks about them. And the stewpid Biafra they all keep clamoring for, someone needs to educate these folks that the Yorubas are not their obstacles as to attaining that. Infact, if this country is divided today, the Yorubas stand to be the biggest gainers and I am sure the politically informed ones will concur.

But as it is, and from now on, the Yorubas have assimilated and digested Ahmadu Bellos statement of 1960 and will now become dead to their responsibilities. No matter what. No one ever hated them, but the hatred embedded in them from childbirth will never ever allow them to see the good in other tribes. Yoruba this, Yoruba that, and yet they refuse to leave a region where they feel "threatened".

In conclusion, I have started a book on these Eastern neighbors of ours and this book is intended to go as viral as possible. We will only respect those who respects us. You do not get to be in our region (all because the constitution allows it), and still be breeding so much hatred towards us, saying all sorts to the same people who have always wanted the best for you. From now on, we will put off the tags of being "accommodating" and proudly wear the garments of being "buygots", until you people learn that the Yorubas have never been your enemy and you start showing the much expected respect.

You people have time for those That have not left their cave before.





I lived in Asaba for 7 years,so I am not moved by their talks.

Yes truth that Asaba is not Igbo City, but coup lead by Asaba man is Igbo coup

Asaba are Igbos but many of them have to live or at least interact constantly with ndi Anambra to learn how to speak Igbo correctly. That's why Ebonyi people troop to Anambra in waves so that they can learn Igbo language because their own language is not Igbo.

Is. Onitsha an Ibo town?
What does Onitsha mean in Ibo language?

True. Igbo developed all the planets in our solar system. They are planning on how to develop Sagittarius A

People wey developed everywhere so tey when it comes to develop their own region, that's when the cement finished

It's this arrogant nature that will cause some people politically in Nigeria.

How disrespectful can one be by claiming of developing somewhere you are just a refuge

That day not need come, Nigerians like you can support Igbos to go their way as a seperate country

Someone said Asaba/Okpanam is only igbo to Yoruba ronu when they want to talk about the Coup,after that it’s no more an igbo town
Nzeogwu is yoruba now and will become Igbo next Presidential Election

People who believe that Illorin in the North Central are Yoruba people, but have a hard time believing that Asaba in Delta State are Igbo people

Good question

Yes, you know more about Asaba than the King of Asaba who is a proud Igbo man

what's d definition of a better Nigeria?

I guess a better Nigeria is a Nigeria where your packaged fraud is allowed to lead us after u all unanimously agreed he failed as governor?

If u want your kinsmen so bad as president, bring performers like umahi, Alex otti, soludo n co n not the one u yourself call fraud

Abeg Onicha and Orisha are not related at all
Mention any Town or village bearing Orisha in yoruba land today,but there are several Onicha in igbo land even as far as Ebonyi

Ilorin is the capital, kwara is the state.
The language spoken in kwara is Yoruba and some other parts Nupe .
Also kwara is middle belt.

You should travel more often

What you must know is that it is not a coincidence that since one inebriated Bayo Onanuga assumed prominence in the APCs/Tilimgbu/Southwest severe negative propaganda machinery, all sorts of concerted efforts seem to have been made to instigate anti igbo sentiments across the globe.

Whether it is in Ghana (where it has been proved that certain bot accounts were ruthlessly used to instigate the anti igbo protests there), or in Lagos the epicentre of all sorts of anti igbo strategising, or in Edo where they used the remnants of those Amaechis laptops to instigate a near confrontations between the igbos and the Edos few months back..
They are restless..

These are not coincidences, and I have always alerted you guys to it here. A certain group in southern Nigeria (the usual akakpò looking culprits), have decided to perennially corner everything coming from the federal government for the whole South and they're still not satisfied. So they need to instigate all sorts of anti igbo sentiments across the South to mortgage the political capabilities of any would be presidential candidates from the east, and to unravel the igbos economically..

Igbos need to push back.., and vigorously too..

Cute Abiola said they speak yoruba but they are Fulani
Are you now trying to forcefully convert people to yoruba now?

Kwara is a strategic state, you won't understand.
you can believe everything you read online tho.

Onitsha

”Onitsha” is how the white man spelled it,it’s pronounced Onicha all over igbo land,say Way Awka is supposed to be “Oka”
There are tens of Onicha in igboland
Onicha igboeze in Ebonyi
Onicha Ukwuani in Delta
Onicha Mbaise ok Imo state
Onicha Olona in Delta
Onicha Ngwa in Abia State
Mention one Orisha/Onitsha town or community in Yoruba land

I lived with Kwarans in Lagos then,they never accept to be yoruba eventhough they speak the language and bear yoruba names
