All succesful Igbos are in the SW.
All your sensible leaders live in the SW.
The only way you can have a future is if the SW colonises you.

You know what, few of us that knows the history, that got this story and many others from our ancestors, forefathers, should continue relaying it to our children, the new generation of youngsters. History is very important in life, anybody that forget their history, the story of their foundation, is moving towards their doom......

Chief Nwiboko Obodo of the Izzi Clan in Abakaliki LGA present day Ebonyi state. Man tormented both his villages and the whites. Saying he killed "just 400" people is an understatment. Till date Odozi Obodo (Nation Builders) still exists, though it is now a church, make of it whatever you wish. Chief Nwiboko was associated with the famous slang "owa tax, owa rate" and his name sent panic amongst his people. When I was in EBSU one of my lecturers use to rave about Nwiboko's doings and all. He was despised by some, feared by some and respected by others. I heard he had more than 100 wives, most of whom he achieved from killing their husbands. Story plenty sha...

In the vast British tropical colony of Nigeria, the back-country people of the Eastern Region have long been a troublesome lot to officialdom.

Mostly half-naked farmers, they take unusual delight in staging bloody campaigns against vaccinations, and in setting schools on fire. Each time, the police must come in to restore order.
Backwardness or defiance?
Igbos are a brave stock

Backwardness at its peak!

This 1958 picture shows the notorious Nwiboko Obodo (L) head of the Odozi Obodo cult in custody awaiting hanging. 

He was convicted of beheading his own wife with a bicycle chain. He was also suspected of at least 400 other murders. 

Below is the TIME magazine article on the case.

Tupacx:

He is the politician himself. English hard, I know.

God must be wondering why he created us in his own image, the level of evil in some people's heart will make the devil jealous.

Okoyeeboz:
Do you know how many people James Nwafor of Awkuzu Sars killed in Anambra state under the government of Peter Obi ?

Okoyeeboz:
This was in 1958 o.

As at then, Ibadan already had a TV Station, Ikeja had an Airport, and Awolowo was already visiting the Midwest with helicopters.

MrGerald:
And Zik that gave you independence was naked too? They were simply farmers around Abakiliki that how they dress as farmers even today, like in Idumota and Lagos island where you'll still find Yoruba woman tie only wrapper over their chest walking in broad daylight in the streets.

FSBoperator:
There was a New York Times article as far back as 1960 detailing how Eastern Nigeria had to pass anti nudity laws as part of preparations for the Queen's visit and independence day celebration

The Catholic women blue wrapper was given to women and young girls to wear by the Catholic church so as to get them decently dressed in church and to lure them to attend mass in return for a wrapper and blouse.

MrGerald:
That doesn't mean they were not wearing clothes, even today in the cities you'd see bebes dressed on the street in the East if you don't hold yourself you start masturbating, East opened eyes even before colonial masters arrived that's why they couldn't use them anyhow, Aba women's riots of 1920 they were not naked.

FSBoperator:
Only God can help you guys.

Anti nudity laws were passed by the Eastern regional parliament to check your people going about buttnaked and you are here saying they were liberated and enlightened people who wore latest skimpy clothes that made them decades ahead of their time.

Keep fooling yourself you hear.
