See them... typical Yoruba intellectual foolishness on display.

Yoruba man taught you and your ancestors how to read and write.

Stale.

lol
They should ask them why they have continued to sink into more poverty, crisis etc if what they were doing before was appropriate.
The North has been the negative force inhibiting the growth of Nigeria with their achaic tribal thoughts and actions.Not religion per se.
There are some cerebral ones amongst them that have been deleted out verbally.
They continually prove to be a big burden to Nigerians who want growth.

garykoeman:
We are talking of obi incompetent ur are shifting the goal post.

Peter obi is a failure as a father who could only raise a gay son.

Can u compare seyi tinubu to ozeloke obi.

U better find something doing so u might not end up like ozeloke.

Don't mind that zombie.
Everybody knows that Obi is a failure.
Where is Obi's Next international today?

Obi is congratulating this and that as a what?
As a defeated candidate?
Should all the presidential candidates defeated start this kind of nuisance he is causing all over the place?
Obi should find some work doing.
Na joblessness dey cause this nonsense.

Like a ritual since 2009 - Nigerian troops killed or wounded by Boko Haram Islamic insurgents.
Boko Haram which says it's fighting for a country to be governed with Sharia criminal laws emerged in Nigeria after the political and religious leaders in the 12 far northern states of Nigeria adopted unconstitutional sharia criminal justice system.

You can't defeat the insurgents through fighting with them in a religious war with too many people sharing the same objective with the insurgents.
Solution: let the sharia states renounce their adoption of sharia criminal laws OR let Nigeria split into different countries. No country was created to remain one forever.

Ona can easily separate the core North from the South by allowing the insurgents to overrun Abuja so the South can be cut off from them.
The South will proclaim its separation,be easily recognised as a nation through UNO after going through the necessary processes.
Those terrorists are being supported by the Northerners...core Northerners themselves.
Where is the list of sponsors given to Buhari by the UAE or whatever?

adolfHitler1934:
See one wretched mumu sitting in one local hut somewhere in Ogbomso talking trash. Where did you get money from to buy a bag of rice, you think such is for everybody?
You and your people are extremely poor and wretched without ordinary toilet, defecating in the open. Dirty Pigs.
Your Tinubu is governing the country well. Can't you see that a litre of petrol is now 230, dollar now 170, petrol now exported to Indonesia, Dubai and North Korea.

Ndi` Ofeman.u` you are only known for noise, nothing else.

Abeg shift one side with your smelly body.

A dirty cannibal pig from a pigsty region insulting a people better than them.
Continue with your ipo.b tears because Nigeria will be better.

Can you go back to that period?

Goodmarlian:
Delusion and imagination is allowed ba you get you mind and mouth.

Will come to pass soon.Trust God.

When the North brought Ruga,we struck it down because we own Nigeria.
North cannot stop our tax bill because it will pass even if they cry fire but we are democrats.We love consensus.

Akpaamunsi:
If shamelessness was a name, it will fit you excellently

Hope you can turn your face back to how it looked in 2015 too
You might as well write a book on how to bend time.

Hankim:
Ohaneze has came out to back the the tax reform but honestly Tinubu has no ball, stop over hyping that weak-link of a man

Tinubu is a democrat not a dictator.

Akpaamunsi:
This thing is an unfortunate living thing. Naira is #1620 to a dollar, up from 200 in 2015. Is that something to be proud about?
Shame on you

Why don't you go back to 2015 to enjoy your dollar at 200?
Go back nah.

Kukutente23:
Where is this delusion of SS, SW, SE, NC support the bill coming from when Nigerian Gov Forum and NEC already rejected the bill. Are both bodies made up of only NW and NE?

Read

Kukutente23:

I thought one clown said Akpabio will just hit the gavel and the bill is passed.
Why all the shalaye now?

They must shalaye because the President is a Democrat who knows the importance of consensus.
Some core Northerners support the bill,SS,SW,SE,NC...if it is put to vote,it will Scale through but Tinubu will lose some support because of his high handedness.This is not his character.
When Buhari brought Ruga,the South killed it.No region is the master in a democracy like this.
You lose some,you win some.
The bill will pass after the hues and cries.
Consensus is the keyword.

XerXers:
You don't know about Chuka Umunna or Chi Onwurah in UK politics? Yorubas are actually catching up now.
How about world bank with four Igbo women and WTO two tenure igbo leadership, what of commonwealth secretary general (Emeka anyaoku) what of Afrexim bank,
una no go fit catch up abeg

Where are they now?
Yorubas that were there then are out but Yorubas still continue even as leaders.
The first black president of IJC not ICC o,was Teslim Elias,a Yoruba technocrat.
The first black literature Nobel laureate is a Yoruba technocrat etc.
I am not even talking about this.
Igbos are successful in Lagos because that is the only place in the world that they have been able to make tremendous wealth second only to the Yorubas,who are the richest and most successful black people either in Africa or abroad.


Name one tangible company or firm that Igbos have abroad...None.
I can name 10 owned by Yoruba people.
Forbes just intimated all that the owner of Calendly,Tope Awotona,is the richest Nigerian in USA.

Tinubu,the man with lofty ideas.
Nigeria will soar positively..

XerXers:
According to Obasanjo, a Yoruba man sees Lagos as his world while Igbo man sees the world as his village

But it is only Yorubas that have conquered the world nah.They are in Trump's first term govt.We have three of them in USA's Biden govt today as we speak,so also is a Yoruba the head of the party in UK.She might be the next PM of UK.

The only place Igbos have been successful in the world is Lagos.
Everybody knows that Lagos is Igbo people's Rondon.

The coward knows that there is no good videos of Igboland except a very few to compete with Ibadan city only.
Ibadan is more developed than the entire Igboland...fact.

Always fake news.

Netflix has debunked the rumour of its exit from Nigeria emphasising its commitment to investing in Nigerian stories.
Earlier today, social media got into a frenzy with the news of Netflix leaving Nigeria. With lots of reactions and speculations flying around, the streaming platform was yet to give a statement. However following the report of its alleged exit, Netflix’s spokesperson contacted our reporter to refute the news.

“We are not exiting Nigeria. We will continue to invest in Nigerian stories to delight our members,” said Netflix.

Netflix’s clarification not only debunks these claims but also reaffirms its ongoing commitment to Nigerian storytelling. Over the years, the platform has played a pivotal role in showcasing Nollywood productions to a global audience, curating a diverse collection of local content that ranges from romantic comedies to hard-hitting dramas. The platform has also collaborated with local filmmakers, funding original productions such as Blood Sisters and Aníkúlápó, which have gained international recognition. This investment has reinforced Netflix as a key player in Nigeria’s film and television scene, supporting both established and emerging talents in the industry.

As the dust settles on this controversy, one thing is certain; Netflix is not abandoning Nigeria. With Netflix at the forefront, the future of Nigerian streaming looks bright. For now, Nigerians can breathe a sigh of relief and look forward to more homegrown stories streaming on the platform.

The coward knows that there is no good videos of Igboland except a very few to compete with Ibadan city only.

ABOUT AROCHUKWU

​

Arochukwu (sometimes referred to as Arochuku, Aro-Okigbo) pronounced Aruchukwu is the third largest city in Abia State (after Aba and Umuahia) in southeastern Nigeria and homeland of the Igbo subgroup, Aro people. It is composed of 19 villages with an overall leader called Eze Aro. Arochukwu is a principal historic town in Igboland. It was also one of the last towns in the Southern protectorate conquered by the British colonial government. Several historic tourist sites exist in the city.



The mystic Long Juju shrine, the slave routes and other relics of the slave trade era are frequently visited by tourists. It is also in the food belt of Abia state where most of the staple foods are produced.

​

Aro History

Arochukwu is believed to have been the homeland of the Ibibio as they arrived in 300 AD from the Benue valley and founded early states like Obong Okon Ita and Ibom. Many years passed as Igbo immigrants came along and pressed into the Ibibio occupied territory and founded several states.



The first Igbo group were the Ezeagwu group led by Nna Uru. As Aro-Ibibio wars occurred, there was a stalemate. In reaction, Igbo leaders invited a priest named Nnachi from the Edda clan of northeastern Igboland and another group from the east of the Cross River through Nnachi's son Oke Nnachi. These people were identified as the Akpa people as their firearms attracted their Igbo allies. Akpa forces led by Osim and Akuma Nnubi, they helped the Igbo forces capture the area and settled in the Aro region. This formed the alliance of 19 new and old states in the area known as the Arochukwu kingdom around 1650-1700.



The first king (or Eze Aro) of a unified Arochukwu was Akuma but after his death, Oke Nnachi took over and his descendants have the throne to this day. Slave trade hit the hinterland around the same time.

​​​

Slave trade formed the Aro Confederacy which was an alliance of the Aros and their related Cross River neighbours (mainly Igbo) which was led by the powerful Eze Aro (king of the Aros), other chiefs, and agents of Ibin Ukpabi. After the confederacy evolved, more Aro businessmen left their homeland to settle in hundreds of settlements mostly in Nigeria and claimed Cameroon, and Equatorial Guinea.



The confederacy was very influential as it monopolized trade in Eastern Nigeria, Delta areas, southern Igala areas and perhaps even beyond the borders of Nigeria by oracular and economical forces. Some slaves were captured by fierce Aro slave raiders and warriors were feared and backed up by allies such as Ohafia, Abam, Bende, Abiriba, Afikpo and other warrior lands that supplied recruiters and mercenaries.



Tensions rose between the Aro confederacy and Europeans in the late 19th century leading to the power to decline and eventually the Anglo-Aro war in 1901-1902. Constant British invasions by men with advanced and superior weapons defeated Aro forces who fought gallantly. The legendary Ibin Ukpabi (known as the Long Juju) shrine was destroyed as the Aro dominance and power was overpowered by the British forces with their superior firepower.

​

​

Confederacy in Arochukwu

Arochukwu is today made up of nineteen Ogos (villages or city states) some of these Ogos have grown from being mere vigilante camps established at borders with Ibibio land by the Aro Nation State, to maintain territorial integrity of the nation state. These camps grew into homestead as the young guards settled down to marry and acquire households. These new homesteads acquired autonomous city state status as their population grew.



Some of these new city states were named after the principal family head, some took their names from specifics of their location, some were given names of existing Igbo communities for reasons lost in history and others acquired names from the characteristics of their founding.

​

These City-States are:


Agbagwu: - Named solely after Agba, the son of Agwu Inobia.

​

Amanagwu: - City State of Agwu Inobia, one of the founding fathers of the confederacy.

​

Amangwu: - City State of Ngwu, the son of Eze Jaka

​

Amanuwu: - City State of Oke Nnachi’s second son. Not quite certain how the name of the place was derived.

​

Amasu: - Named after a river port (Ama asu)

​

Amaukwa: - City State of Ukwa, one of the grandsons of Agwu Inobia

​

Amoba: - City State of one of the grandsons of Agwu Inobia.

​

Amuvi: - Part of Umu Oti Asaga, then resident in Amamgba as Ugwuogo family unit. Population pressure on land made them to move to the highland further north of Asaga, across the Nwanne flood plain.

​

​

Asaga: - The then northern terminal of Aro town and the entreport of all travelers using the ancient Bende trade route

​

Atani: - A city State name common among the Igbos, Just like the name Asaga. Note that its usual full nomenclature of Atani-Aro implies the existence of other Atani’s.


Ibom: - This is the Ibibio name for the landmass now partly occupied by Aro. It was once their homeland during their migratory period 300 AD to 1750 AD from east of the Cross River in the Ekoi territory. They were classified in early European records as the Akpa People, because their popular ivory merchant king was named Akpa. The Ibom city state of Aro took on this name from its founding by Ibom-Akpa elements of Osim/Akuma Nnubi Kindred.


Isinkpu: - The City State of Nkpu, the son of Eze Jaka, the founder of Isinkpu.


Obinkita: - The Igbo corruption of Obot Okon Ita, the original capital City of Obong Okon Ita.


Oror: - The city state of Oror, son of Eze Obin of Agbagwu


Ugbo: - A city State of one of the Agwu Ibobia’s grandsons.


Ugwuakuma:- A city state of Akuma Nnubi surviving sibling of Osim the Akpa merchant/warrior prince who lost his life in the Ibibio war.


Ugwuaro: - A city state named after the hill of Avor Ukwu


Ujari: - More of the same naming categorization as Atani Aro and Asaga.


Utughugwu: - Un-satisfactorily ascribed to be a corruption of Ututu-Ugwu. No alternatively justifiable derivative has been proffered.

Another blog.
Why all this long story?

All these years..

ibechris:
No reason to argue with u.
U wey never travel dey talk.

U should be ashamed bros.

There is no part of Yoruba land that is as beautiful as Enugu.
Imo
Anambra and even Aba in Abia state.

U can't even compare Ogun state with Ebonyi...not in terms of roads let alone building.

A visit would convince u further.

Yorubas travel more than Igbos but we don't do 'migrants' thing which is synonymous with poverty.
We travel and come back home.
It is on nairaland here,Yoruba travel abroad more than Igbos too.
It is because I have been to the East that gave me the confidence that Yorubaland minus Lagos,is much more developed than Igboland.
Only Ibadan city is more developed than the entire Igboland.

Talk has always been cheap.
The most appropriate thing for you and I is to post the videos of each of these states to compare but I am 100% sure that you will run or talk yourself cowardly out.
All the videos of your Igbo cities and Yoruba cities are all over the internet.
The sure thing is that only the city of Ibadan will decimate and shame the whole 5 SE states.

Let us start with Ibadan against the whole Igboland first
I am pretty sure you cannot find 8 different suitable looking places in the entire SE to compare with Ibadan.
Tiny Onitsha built by Igala,Benin/Yoruba is your only joy in the SE.

Action/video speaks louder than talk.
You have always run but let us see if you have the gut today.

Do I post first or you go first?
Be brave,man.You can do this.
