This thread was indeed nice.

Replace Kano with Kaduna.

Brooklynsouth:
Yoruba whether he did that or not I will vote for obaseki ....you Yorubas should mind your business

Aren't you shameless?
Making Edo state election about Yoruba people...Lmao...!

Besides, even a toddler knows that you are from nowhere near Edo state.

jagorinho:
So Tb Joshua is not a global brand? a guy given the highest honour in Paraguay and Peru? a guy cities submit their keys to pray on it, a guy that has more views than Jakes.....you deserve to be arrested whenever you speak in public, your utterances can cause a pandemic, by the way TD Jakes is not Igbo, from land grabbing you have upgraded to human grabbing, are you not contented with the chinedus and obinnas?

Laugh wan kill me die!!!

This Lekan (Laycorn) is actually fucking smart.

iyapont:
Op u forgot to add Fola EVans Akingbola https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fola_Evans-Akingbola

IamPlato:
oga they Are Not Yorubas Or Nigerian, and They Will Never Be.


They Are British And Americans, you Dont Have To Accept The Bitter Truth.


Call Them Yorubas Is Like african Christians Calling Themselves Children Of Israel

You are still not getting it are you?


Some of the people on that list are some of the proudest Yorubas you can ever meet.
People like John Boyega or Agbaje.

Being Yoruba is undeniable. It is not a nationality it is their DNA. Being Nigeria however can be a choice.... I dunno if they give a f about Nigeria, heck, one of them is even Ivorian! But they are surely all proudly Yoruba.

IamPlato:
many of those people you mentioned are not nigerians, many of them will not even wish to be here, some dont like nigeria. because their parents were from nigeria doesnt make them nigerian.


they are foreigners


by the way, now that you showed us that they are nigerians what should we do with it?


will this info change my life or improve my current state or mood?



na god go punish all of una posting foreigners and calling them igbos and yorubas...

They may hate being nigerian but they surely can not hate being whom they are as Yorubas.

What is there to develop in South East again?
They already claim to be the Dubai of Africa kwa.

LMAOOO

So that sign post has been there since like 1990?

Holy juju!

Ayo8:
Yeah...she's from rivers...thought the thread was abt stars with Nigerian descent.

All this tribal thread sef...I don tire!

Eeeehya don't get tired.
Nigeria is a tribal confederation not a country.

GBOKASINCHA:
they forgot to add NAS as they usually do ..., how can a classic Yoruba diaspora thread be without NAS...make I help them NASIRU OLUFEMI ABIOLA from osun state..

Painment masked with lame ass comedy..
I can see your tears rolling down from here..

Ayo8:
.

Jumbo should be a rivers name, and that is probably where her Nigerian side comes from.

Hmmmmn

Ironically, the system you are advocating for was exactly what was in place as at the time that video you people love to post and talk about so much was produced.
We were running a regional government with a relatively weaker centre. The Eastern region of then was like 10 times stronger than the almost powerless South East that we have now. Yet we all know how all that was truncated and how it all ended.

Personally, I don't see anything wrong with what the sardauna said in the video. They (northerners) had a right to run their region as they deemed fit. That the British filled the Northern elite workforce with Igbo service men before they left does not mean that the new political powers of the region should continue with the trend after the British left the reigns of power wholly to them. The Igbos had their Eastern region at the time, and they were the hegemonic group there, they even had figures of influence in the West, and then subsequently the Midwest... why cry over what the Northerners wished to do in the region or who/who not they wanted to see employed? What then would have been the purpose of running ethnic based regions if another group from a different axis of the country is running your affairs in a different region?

pasol4real:
This is exactly how you know ignorant idiats
You know nothing , never been to the place , yet you make stupid derogatory comments about the place.
Ppl like you should be grateful, ignorance is not a crime otherwise most of you would by now be rotting in different jails of the country......

Stop to dey Shalaye.

Awka is largely a small not developed town.

IspitonCowards:
you must be a joker .....Ibadan satellite picture made me weep.......90% brown leaky roofs, e no even enter my screen

HAHAHAHAHA~~!.... Aba does not even have 1 SINGLE good looking part.
The whole city and 1/2 of the state should be NUKED as a favour to humanity and fellow Igbos.

Factshunter:
Japan of Africa, according to who? Of course, rumors and propaganda just like we have the highest numbers of billionaires in anambra that are invisible... No traces, no names, no identity

According to delusionists...... The poeple who developed 99% of Johannesburg and 86% of Mumbai.

...

post=91342460:
No slum in Anambra state, western states are largely covered by slums, especially Oyo state

But this is Aba the biggest city in all of Igboland, a city 100% covered by a sprawling urban SLUM.

All of AlaNgwa is slum.

[img]http:///65535/50072565827_3186baf621_k.jpg[/img]

See Nnewi that Ndi Igbo are calling Japan of Africa...LOL

Igbos should stop disgracing Nigeria and Africa, PLEEEEASE!

What a dump!

post=91341737:
You need to leave that your backward region to understand better

You have used this pic of the bridge area of Awka for the 1000th time this year alone...lol.
Even your fellow Igbos will tell you than Awka is largely underdeveloped save for the areas with a government presence and that road area leading to Enugu.

But I like the way you chose to keep deceiving yourself and the mass of pitiable people who chose to swallow your propaganda.

My brother this last one is the Onithsha waterfront development estate.....

post=91341345:
No state outside Lagos can be compare to Anambra in development and economy, this is fact

So Kano is more developed than Anambra state going by your pics...
Anambra will be a mediocre state in the SW.

Imo and Enugu won't even rank. These two states are built 100% around Enugu and Owerri townships. No industries and no force of economy in both.

majamajic:
Which town are u from in SW ? Town on
Let's start from there

so Anambra is now a town.
Are you sitting inside rain in front of your shop in Mushin or what?

Ndi Anambra and their propaganda machine at work..

They even had to take a piciure of a popular interchange in Ogun state and use it for their Anambra website.
No wonder some Heebhoes thought we were using Eastern pics in our Abeokuta picture thread.

Cone head I feel your pain
No state in west outside Lagos can be compare to Anambra state

lol Anambra will rank number 4 in SW development if it were to be a state here.
