But who send you though? This is what I love about nairaland - people throwing irrelevant "opinions",  like who gives a fidduck?

Well, if your place no fine, you have no say. C'est fini.

Maybe you need to the waters. Time to taste your feelings in order to lead into an informed and exprienced mind. Or maybe you can ask Oba Adeyinka Oyekan of Lagos who lived in Umuahia

FL Gators:
Sth wrong with that?

mekuszyx:
You stomach is growling. You a mere undergraduate looking for scholarship/graduate assistantship to study further. You have no poo to invest. Keep quiet, even on cyber. Ibadan cannot by any stretch of imagination be compared to Enugu.

Sefago knows he has no dime to invest. He is still looking to lick Oyibo nyash for a non-tax-free graduate assistantship (GA). Wetin go remain for the peanut that they pay for GA for him to invest with? Poor boy, really.

chiogo:
Look at this SEFAGO, where are you from again? Calling Enugu a shiit hole. Nonsense.

@topic, I dunno about these governors, the previous ones haven't been able to do anything.

Eziachi:
Shouldn't you think of trying to invest in your stomach first? How can you invest what you haven't got in the first place or am I am missing the meaning of investment?
To my knowledge most investment comes from surplus, not from what doesn't exist.

Even before Zik and Awo wahala Ojukwu's father and other Igbos were already owning properties in Lagos and the North. What stopped the Yoruba from doing so then?

FL Gators:
@Sjeezy
You in NJ or what?

A friend of mines posted snow pix on FB, deep as shiot. lol pele o

Am dwelling in my 60-70degs right now
says who?

Wish you could  put your mouth where your money is cos it seems you ve got a lot catch up to do cos most Igbos can attest to that. Go live , work and invest in other parts of Naija outside your enclave. Let's put one Naija in action if you truly believe in this your feel good message.

mekuszyx:
Monkey. You dot not know if Ojukwu is my father, uncle or kinsman. Why do you insult him? The quesion remains, why is Ojukwu described in a different way than the other rich Nigerians of then?

EzeUche:
Leave Lady Bianca out of your stinking mouth. Yorubas always trying to have Igbo women, because your own women are not up to par.

mekuszyx:
And the same article says ''Ojukwu was perhaps, the wealthiest Nigerian of his generation: a multi-millionaire businessman''

What do you mean by low profile? Do you care to explain? Thanks.

mekuszyx:
Did anyone claim Ojukwu's father was the first African millionaire? If so, that will be preposterous since we do not know much about other Africans as of prior to the 1960s. As for me[b] I have always read[/b] that he is the first in Nigeria. I like to restrict myself to Nigeria except where the data is clear for the whole AFrica. This is unlike Yoruba-run Yabatech that claimed to be the third oldest in Africa and 27th in the world

mekuszyx:
Sefago, Bluetooth, Roadstar, etc
Seriously, jokes aside, do you know of any Yoruba milionaire during the time that Ojukwu's father was making his money? Please educate us so we know. No harm in knowledge sharing. Thanks.

Like Odutola, Louis Ojukwu attained prominence as an astute businessman and one of the first millionaires the country produced

Was Forbes already in existence before the 1960's when Ojukwu's father was not only the first millionaire in Nigeria but also the only one at that time?

Something on Ojukwu snr:

Louis Odumegwu Ojukwu
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Sir Louis Odumegwu Ojukwu, OBE, (1909-1966) was a notable Nigerian businessman from Nnewi. Ojukwu was a director in various Nigerian companies and also won a parliamentary seat during the nation's first republic. He attended a primary school in Asaba and the Hope Waddell Institute for secondary education.

[edit] Life and career
Ojukwu started his professional career at the Agricultural department before leaving to join John Holt as a tyre sales clerk. He also incorporated a textile company in Onitsha to supplement his income during this period, already exhibiting a little bit of his entrepreneurial spirit. While at John Holt, he noticed the severe strain a lack of adequate transportation had on Eastern textile traders. He later left John Holt to create a transport company to improve the trading environment for Nigerian traders. As a transporter, he was a tireless worker and meticulous to detail; he was usually the first to inspect his transport vehicles for oil and leakages. Apart from his work ethic, his success was also oiled by the economic boom after World War II, working with the West African Railway Company and the newly inaugurated produce boards, he provided his fleet for commodity transportation and for other traders use. During the 1950s, he diversified his interest, bought some industries, invested heavily in the real estate sector and became a director in numerous major corporations. He was a member of the board of Nigerian Coal Corporation, Shell Oil, D'Archy, and African Continental Bank.

Ojukwu died in 1966, just a year before the Nigerian civil war. His son Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu was the leader of the secessionist state of Biafra.

Long before Ojukwu was born IGBOS have been known to be great people .[b]IGBOS were the first blacks to build a double story [/b]building in Africa long before the whites touched our shores so I hope you understand what I am getting at.Ojukwu is not IGBO’s greatest asse

I don't give a be intimate with where you crawl out from, your advise is for Igbo to have a 35 year old leader, well choose a 35 year old leader for the Yorubas you claimed to be before prescribing it for us and from what I can see, Dimeji Bankole is not far from the age of 35 and he is not setting any fre on the mountain. Ojukwu is one of few people in that God forsaking country you cant point corruption toward him. His father was once richer than any African and he is a omfortbale man, while his peers become overnight billionaire farmers even though from poverty crippled families,

Beaf:
There is no history book that say's anything different from what I mentioned, except its a fairy tale. The truth is sad.

Mandingo's methods are crude, but the door was left open centuries ago and it's still open today.

an american JAIL CELL is preferred to an upscale nigerian living.

Let's see what they get:

3 square meals
Clean living space
healthcare
work out facilities
Cable television
WORKING electricity.

yup, I'd rather be in an American jail cell than in a Nigerian slum.
