Jogs1900: But are you aware that some first class King in Nigeria travels with Diplomatic Passport, eg. 1. OONI of Ife 2. Sultan of Sokoto 3. Oba of Benin 4. Obi of Onitsha 5. OLU of WARRI 6. Emir of Kano Few that I know of. Moreso if you were awarded with CFR (Commander of Federal Republic of Nigeria) that also comes with Diplomatic Passport and treatment anywhere you travel to in the world. You will be given same privilege as Diplomat. |

Jogs1900: Why would OONIRISA need Honourary Ambassador. OONI himself is Natural Head of Oodua race (Yoruba) through the world which is not limited to Nigeria alone, Yoruba in Benin republic, Togo, Ghana, Ivory Coast, Buki Faso, Trinidad and Tobago, Dominican, Cuba, Brazil, Puerto Rico, USA and UK. Tell me if someone is Natural Leader and Head of a tribes in so many countries, why will he need Ambassador from a country which is just a dot in circles of people he oversees. Maybe you should think it through yourself. 12 Likes 2 Shares |

TheIgborepublic: But I really wanted to asked you buafran questions. Why so much pressure on what happens in Lagos. Last Governorship election in East, a lot of killing, ballot stolen and elections malpractice. None of you ever mentioned anything or say something about it. But any small things about Lagos. Una go start carry muscle. Though I have no political affiliation but you guys put me focus why you so much hated President elect because he is from West and want your Brother that came third from East to be president. This is getting interested. I am can't wait till May 29th. I will write you another letter. He who has peak in his eyes and trying to help another remove his own peak without removing his own.

donborg: 1. Arthur Nzeribe sold ARMS AND AMMUNITIONS to the Federal Military Government of Yakubu Gowon. Those arms formed a greater part of what was used to kill many Igbos during the civil war of 1967 - 1970. Even as the WAR raged, Nzeribe continued his “business” as he later described it. After the war, everything was forgotten by the Igbos. No mention of Gowon who was commander-in-chief giving the orders. No mention of Murtala Mohammed, Sani Abacha, TY Danjuma, Babangida etc those men reputed to have wrecked havoc in Igbo land during the war. Nearly every one of the mad SOLDIERS returned to the North with Igbo/SSouth free wives. Even Olúségun Obasanjo (another Igbo I disguise) who took over from Black Scorpion Benjamin Adekunle in the bombardment of the East, till today is a HERO with the Igbos. Igbos don't remember the activities of men like Isaac Adaka Boro the Ijaw man and his soldiers who ultimately nailed the fate of the IGBOS. After all said and done it was Chief Obafemi Awolowo who was Minister of Finance in Lagos who eventually CARRIED THE WHOLE BLAME. Till today, the Igbos accuse him of killing 3million of their people during the war. They DEMONIZED HIM. But it is not because of that war. They only used that as diversionary in their greed engendered PROPAGANDA. The main reason was because Chief Obafemi Awolowo was the LEADER OF THE SW PROGRESSIVES AND THEY NEEDED TO DESTROY THAT LEADERSHIP. They needed to first destroy the LEADERSHIP to make it easier to get hold of the people for DESTRUCTION. Only that way, igbos can greedily take for themselves, the belongings of others. As they were trying to destroy Awolowo ostensibly on account of the WAR, the same igbos rewarded Arthur Nzeribe with the SENATE. They will always glorify their crooks. 2. Nwafor Orizu was a very useless and fraudulent man in his days in the United States of America. Although he was a "Prince" from Nnewi-Anambra State, it didn't matter to him. While staying in US, he designed an elaborate scheme whereby he fleeced his own Igbo people. Scholarship came from a big Philanthropist in the US, a fellow black man, to Nigerians through Nwafor Orizu. First, the man made sure his kinsmen were the only "beneficiaries". Second, he secured admissions for them in American Universities but at same time collected the exact sums of money from the "beneficiaries" ,.the same money which had already been fully paid for by the black American philanthropist. His kinsmen came to the US having paid the full sums for their education, not aware of the scam that had happened. Nwafor Orizu pocketed the money of the scholarships. By the time the bubble bursted and he had to run away, it was at hairs breath. When he arrived Nigeria, Azikiwe and his fellow kinsmen rewarded him with the SENATE. He later became the SENATE PRESIDENT OF THE FIRST REPUBLIC. They will always glorify their crooks. Awolowo was already their problem in Igbo land as at 1959 when Nwafor Orizu became SENATOR. 3. Till today, the story is still told of THE EZU RIVER MASSACRE. ABOUT 35 BODIES were found carelessly floating in that Ezu River. They were bodies of many young men allegedly MURDERED BY SARS OPERATIVES. EZU RIVER is in Anambra State. The massacre happened in the time when Peter Obi was Governor of Anambra State Nnamdi Kanu OPENLY accused Peter Obi of ordering the massacre. Many rumours said same thing, accusing Obi. Bottom line, it happened in ANAMBRA STATE UNDER PETER OBI. The IGBOS said nothing about it. They forgot quickly. But a young man - ONE MAN - was much later harassed or killed by SARS IN DELTA STATE. We were all duly enraged and expressed utter disgust. Igbos in Lagos didn't go to DELTA STATE to protest. Igbos in Lagos didn't remember EZU RIVER 35. Igbos in Lagos didn't call Buhari's name. Igbos in Lagos didn't visit the COMPOL IN IKEJA OR IGP IN ABUJA TO REGISTER THEIR DISPLEASURE. What the IGBOS did was to proceed to LEKKI TOLL GATE which they believed was owned by Asíwájú Bola Tinubu and they began to scream BOLA TINUBU'S NAME. From there they proceeded to TVC AND ORIENTAL HOTEL. Nnamdi Kanu was heard pronouncing death sentences on Tinubu and Sanwoolu. Whereas in Lagos, SARS didn't kill 35 youths and dumped their bodies into the Lagoon..Most of their impunity was majorly concerning Yahoo boys, the bulk of the EndSars crew. Today, Asíwájú Bola Tinubu is the one who must carry the blame for SARS, NOT BUHARI OR IGP, and for that they have inspired a Propaganda that even our own children will have to hate Tinubu. Yoruba Children must be wary of the treachery called Igbos and stop playing to the gallery. They DEMONIZE ASIWAJU BOLA AHMED TINUBU and pitiably, our people will join them. But today, Peter Obi has been upgraded to SAINTHOOD, the same IGBOS and same Anambra people whose children perished in the Ezu River gave him 95% vote validation to proceed to the Presidency so he could give us his *IPOBic container economics.* They will always glorify their own crooks.

43Ronin: What is problem of IPOB , BIAFRA or OBIDIENT. You people like forcing yourself on others. Because I bare same name with you and we speak same language and almost share same culture, does that means I must buy to your ideology of self secession. If you want to get out of Nigeria, nobody is stopping you, but this idea of trying to force other people to join you is what I don't get. Must everyone be BIAFRA. Do you know that under UN law, if all IPOB states seeking for secession and some IPOB speaking tribes in other state disagree with going with you. You can't force them. This things have to be voluntary decision. It is not by force like the way you guys are killing your own people all in name of Sit at home and creating a criminal force UGM to execute some stupid laws that brings hungers into the lands. Don't you guys see what you are doing to your self. A word is enough for the wise, that is there is a wise one among. 1 Like 1 Share |

kingthreat: I will repost this again so that Yoruba can know where the Ibo/Igbo are coming from: 🦉 IGBO INFERIORITY COMPLEX Our Elders talk about the man who was in search of trouble. He has been looking for trouble all over the village but couldn't find any So the elders of the village directed him to the house of the village pauper, the poorest man in the village. They told him to go and carry his lone fowl, the very one he has been nursing for several months and keeping for the next New Yam festival. So he went to the man's house and when the man wasn't looking,he picked the fowl and bolted with it. NOBODY knew peace in the whole village as a consequence of that action. The trouble and noise became so much that the whole village went in search of the man who carried the fowl of the pauper. Infact the man who was looking for trouble had to rush there with the fowl, panting he dropped it and left. Before he left he asked the man " What is it gan sef, just an ordinary ONE FOWL?" Since that time our Elders have had the saying: “The man who steals the fowl of the village pauper has activated the same man who will talk him to devil!” Why am I saying all these? You people need to understand the Igbos, we really need to understand wherefrom they came and what has added to make them what they are today. The Igbo people [ of the HINTERLANDS, TODAYS today's SE ] are a people who suddenly, belatedly, came into contact with civilization at a time that most other people had gone very far. And they came with their very CUNNING INSTINCTS. Do you know that from my friend's mother, I have always heard that the ANIOMA people of Asaba, Ibusa, Ogwashikwu etc dealt with the Igbos of the hinterland with EXTREME CAUTION AND DISTRUST? A story is told that when the Asaba man had cause to cross the River Nigeria into Obosi, today's Anambra State, he would go round the entire length of his village to announce to his kinsmen that he was crossing the River Niger into Obosi. It was because they NEVER TRUSTED the Obosi people of Anambra. The Igbos of the hinterlands are people troubled by INFERIORITY COMPLEX and this worries them every minute of their lives and association with other people. It is the problem they have had in Nigeria. They have a mindset that you must accept that they DOMINATE YOU otherwise, where you don't allow them, it will appear to them that you have cheated them because they were Igbos [ from the bush ]. They are awed by your complex and advanced social order which they lack. They know it is way ahead of theirs but this angers them again. It eats them up as though it was your fault that you both grew up under different settings. As the typical sufferer of inferiority complex the typical Igbo doesn't want to respect your own peculiar culture but he wants to let you know that his own culture is better than yours and he actually wants you to subscribe to his culture. He wants his culture and way of life to rub off on you and probably subsumes yours. It is a problem of inferiority complex. The igbos [ of the HINTERLANDS, today's SE ] NEVER had anything like monarchies. No, they didn't have. The Asaba and other Ika Igbo tribes had but not those of today's SE IGBOS. Monarchy - Igwe, Eze etc are very recent creations of the Europeans in Igbo land. They never had it. And it troubles them too. Have you noticed that in nearly all Igbo communities and towns, you can hardly find a man who goes by the title " Eze whatever II of Amawbia" or " Okwadike Gburugburu III of Nnewi" ? Very rare, if you ever find at all. Everybody gets his title as NUMBER 1 Examples: Eze Nwafor Ndiorioma I of Nnobi Igwe Okwadike Gburugburu I of Ogunnabali Gbogbotigbo I of Awka. Eze Ndigbo Ogbuefi I of Lagos. Sopuro Ngwo Warawara I of Kano You just go an verify. Anything that is Number 2 is a matter of psychological pain for the typical Igbo man. It is infact the reason many of them are breaking their necks around the world for money, just to be RICHER THAN THEIR NEIGHBOURS, just so they can be identified as the Richest man in the community. As far as the typical Igbo man is concerned - ANAMBRA IN PARTICULAR - MONEY answers all questions so they believe that MONEY is what all sensible persons must first get before CHARACTER. It is the reason the Igbo man can't understand why all the Yorubas of Lagos can't oblige them by quitting Lagos and walking into Atlantic ocean when they, the Igbos, have all the money to buy all of them poor people. The typical igbo man usually confuses RICHES WITH WEALTH. His inferiority complex doesn't allow him to comprehend the fact that a man can be without money but exceedingly wealthy and can infact command such respect and recognition than the man with all the money. It is the reason why the igbo man won't understand why a Professor Wole Soyinka will be talking about giving a reward of $1,000 in the same country where Chris Uba can conjure N10 Billion for same purpose yet you people don't listen to Chris Uba the way you listen to Soyinka. The typical Igbo man doesn't understand that kind of setting and it hurts him. To him it is discrimination. In Igbo land the man with the MONEY MUST BE THE TALKER, AUTHOR AND FINISHER OF ALL DECISIONS. It is still the same problem - inferiority complex. This is what you see when a Giringory Obi, a man who got a F9 GCE DEGREE from Night School, couldnt get NE and NW crucial votes, came distant 3rd, doesn't agree he lost on 25th February 2023. He cant understand how a Yoruba man can be ahead of him. Till this day, the Igbos haven't forgiven Prof. Soyinka for beating Prof. Achebe to the Nobel Literature Prize. They take it very seriously. It is an ETHNIC issue for them. Whereas Achebe wrote Things Fall Apart - a very excellent story - you still won't compare his workd to the many works of Soyinka. The igbos will never agree. It always have to be about and for the Igbo man. The Nigerian structure that can be acceptable to the typical Igbo man is one where the Igbo man is on top of every single sphere in Nigeria's Government at the Federal and state level. Give them that and you become the Friend of Ndigbo - A good detribalized Nigerian. This is the mindset of the typical Igbo people - the WANNABE ZIONISTS. A very funny people. Anytime and everywhere you find some of them wannabe Zionists misbehaving just remember this post. Thank you. © Adedamola Adetayo 06 April 2023 3 Likes 1 Share |

The igbos [ of the HINTERLANDS, today's SE ] NEVER had anything like monarchies. No, they didn't have. The Asaba and other Ika Igbo tribes had but not those of today's SE IGBOS. Monarchy - Igwe, Eze etc are very recent creations of the Europeans in Igbo land. They never had it. And it troubles them too. Have you noticed that in nearly all Igbo communities and towns, you can hardly find a man who goes by the title " Eze whatever II of Amawbia" or " Okwadike Gburugburu III of Nnewi" ? Very rare, if you ever find at all. Everybody gets his title as NUMBER 1 Examples: Eze Nwafor Ndiorioma I of Nnobi Igwe Okwadike Gburugburu I of Ogunnabali Gbogbotigbo I of Awka. Eze Ndigbo Ogbuefi I of Lagos. Sopuro Ngwo Warawara I of Kano You just go an verify. Anything that is Number 2 is a matter of psychological pain for the typical Igbo man. It is infact the reason many of them are breaking their necks around the world for money, just to be RICHER THAN THEIR NEIGHBOURS, just so they can be identified as the Richest man in the community. As far as the typical Igbo man is concerned - ANAMBRA IN PARTICULAR - MONEY answers all questions so they believe that MONEY is what all sensible persons must first get before CHARACTER. It is the reason the Igbo man can't understand why all the Yorubas of Lagos can't oblige them by quitting Lagos and walking into Atlantic ocean when they, the Igbos, have all the money to buy all of them poor people. The typical igbo man usually confuses RICHES WITH WEALTH. His inferiority complex doesn't allow him to comprehend the fact that a man can be without money but exceedingly wealthy and can infact command such respect and recognition than the man with all the money. It is the reason why the igbo man won't understand why a Professor Wole Soyinka will be talking about giving a reward of $1,000 in the same country where Chris Uba can conjure N10 Billion for same purpose yet you people don't listen to Chris Uba the way you listen to Soyinka. The typical Igbo man doesn't understand that kind of setting and it hurts him. To him it is discrimination. In Igbo land the man with the MONEY MUST BE THE TALKER, AUTHOR AND FINISHER OF ALL DECISIONS. It is still the same problem - inferiority complex. This is what you see when a Giringory Obi, a man who got a F9 GCE DEGREE from Night School, couldnt get NE and NW crucial votes, came distant 3rd, doesn't agree he lost on 25th February 2023. He cant understand how a Yoruba man can be ahead of him. Till this day, the Igbos haven't forgiven Prof. Soyinka for beating Prof. Achebe to the Nobel Literature Prize. They take it very seriously. It is an ETHNIC issue for them. Whereas Achebe wrote Things Fall Apart - a very excellent story - you still won't compare his workd to the many works of Soyinka. The igbos will never agree. It always have to be about and for the Igbo man. The Nigerian structure that can be acceptable to the typical Igbo man is one where the Igbo man is on top of every single sphere in Nigeria's Government at the Federal and state level. Give them that and you become the Friend of Ndigbo - A good detribalized Nigerian. This is the mindset of the typical Igbo people - the WANNABE ZIONISTS. A very funny people.

mainman7: I will repost this again so that Yoruba can know where the Ibo/Igbo are coming from: 🦉 IGBO INFERIORITY COMPLEX Our Elders talk about the man who was in search of trouble. He has been looking for trouble all over the village but couldn't find any So the elders of the village directed him to the house of the village pauper, the poorest man in the village. They told him to go and carry his lone fowl, the very one he has been nursing for several months and keeping for the next New y Yam festival. So he went to the man's house and when the man wasn't looking,he picked the fowl and bolted with it. NOBODY knew peace in the whole village as a consequence of that action. The trouble and noise became so much that the whole village went in search of the man who carried the fowl of the pauper. Infact the man who was looking for trouble had to rush there with the fowl, panting he dropped it and left. Before he left he asked the man " What is it gan sef, just an ordinary ONE FOWL?" Since that time our Elders have had the saying: “The man who steals the fowl of the village pauper has activated the same man who will talk him to devil!” Why am I saying all these? You people need to understand the Igbos, we really need to understand wherefrom they came and what has added to make them what they are today. The Igbo people [ of the HINTERLANDS, TODAYS today's SE ] are a people who suddenly, belatedly, came into contact with civilization at a time that most other people had gone very far. And they came with their very CUNNING INSTINCTS. Do you know that from my friend's mother, I have always heard that the ANIOMA people of Asaba, Ibusa, Ogwashikwu etc dealt with the Igbos of the hinterland with EXTREME CAUTION AND DISTRUST? A story is told that when the Asaba man had cause to cross the River Nigeria into Obosi, today's Anambra State, he would go round the entire length of his village to announce to his kinsmen that he was crossing the River Niger into Obosi. It was because they NEVER TRUSTED the Obosi people of Anambra. The Igbos of the hinterlands are people troubled by INFERIORITY COMPLEX and this worries them every minute of their lives and association with other people. It is the problem they have had in Nigeria. They have a mindset that you must accept that they DOMINATE YOU otherwise, where you don't allow them, it will appear to them that you have cheated them because they were Igbos [ from the bush ]. They are awed by your complex and advanced social order which they lack. They know it is way ahead of theirs but this angers them again. It eats them up as though it was your fault that you both grew up under different settings.

SOYINKA fought for Igbo during BIAFRA OR IPOB WAR as you called it today and he was jailed during BIAFRA war by Nigeria Government and non of your so called activists was jailed then. They were running from one bunker to bunker. Achebe run to exile, Ojukwu runs to exile like a COWARD and left your forefather and grandfather to die in his selfish self acclaimed war. And you are here asking who real activists is. Maybe you need to go and read book of history. SOYINKA doesn't just come out to say something if there no need to be said.

AreaFada2: The Yoruba people of Nigeria have a rich and diverse history, with many legends and myths passed down through generations. The purpose of mythology is to serve as a compass to each generation and create a unique identity. One of the most popular stories is that of Oduduwa, the progenitor of the Yoruba people. They didn't say the creator of Human or Yoruba people. In Yoruba myth of creation Obatala is the creator of Human being through the power of Olodumare(Obatala didn't do a good job in human creation and that's the reason why humanity is not perfect.) However, in recent years, there has been a debate over where Oduduwa came from, with some Bini suggesting that he is definitely came from Benin. They said he was Izodudwa.. The whole "where Oduduwa came from is politically and religiously motivated. In this post, we will explore why Oduduwa could not have come from Benin. The purpose of this post isn't to belittle great Benin history neither I am of the opinion that Benin are related with the Yorubas.They believe they are not related to Yoruba, and we must respect that. Firstly, it is important to note that the idea that Oduduwa was a Benin prince is a relatively new narrative, less than 70 years old. There is no record both audio or written where the Benin linked Izodudwa to Oodua. When the Oba of Bini was attending Yoruba Oba council meeting in 1937 and years after. I don't think Oba of Bini believes Izodudwa was Oodua during those times. The traditional narratives that most Yoruba people hold to be important do not suggest that Oduduwa came from Benin. Some suggest that he came from the East therefore he is from Benin. However, Benin is located to the southwest of Ile-ife, not East, and neither are Sudan or Mecca. So, where did Oduduwa come from? It is likely that Oduduwa(Name) is an appellation, rather than a historical figure. This isn't a rare occurrences .Ajaka Alaafin of Oyo was called "Sango".. we need to separate Orisa Oduduwa from historical Oduduwa. The name "Oduduwa" is written and pronounced as "Oodua" in Yoruba ife dialect. Even in Yoruba dictionary of 1852, written as 'ODUA , ODUDUA" When we look at the tradition, it does not say that Oduduwa was from Mecca or Benin. To get an idea of where he came from, we can do a bit of oral analysis. Ife, which is where Oduduwa is said to have founded the Yoruba people, was divided into many kindoms. Iremo, Oranfe, and others are examples of the ancient kingdoms of Ife. It is likely that Oduduwa came from Oranfe kingdom. In the ile-ife anthem, one phrase sings "Oranfe onile ina, Oodua awerinrinjagun". This suggests that Oduduwa came from Oranfe, which is located in Oke Ora. Tradition tells us that Oke Ora is where Oduduwa came down with chain. Oke in Yoruba means Hill top and yes Oke Ora is more hillious . Its more likely that Oodua belongs to the people of hill, fought a battle to unity the kingdoms of Ile-ife.(Oranfe onile ina, Oodua awerinrinjagun". ) It is also worth noting that in Yoruba tradition, names often reflect the circumstances of a person's birth or events surrounding their life. In conclusion, there is no evidence to suggest that Oduduwa came from Benin. The idea that he was a Benin prince is a relatively new narrative that does not appear in traditional Yoruba narratives. Whoever going to make such claims must provide evidence beyond reasonable doubt than just "Changjng "O" into "I" and "" into "Z" making it "Izoduwa".The burden of Proofs is with the claimant. According to the Benin, Izoduwa meaning is 'I have chosen the path of prosperity' Yoruba meaning of Oodua literally "The great repository which brings forth existence" In conclusion, there is no evidence to suggest that Oduduwa came from Benin. The idea that he was a Benin prince is a relatively new narrative that does not appear in traditional Yoruba narratives. Instead, it is likely that Oduduwa came from Oranfe, which is located in Ile-ife.

Hier:THIS IS SHORT NOTE FOR THOSE WHO ARE WISE The famous Onitsha Market was on fire. It was viral on Social media. Anambra reached out to Asaba, Delta State for fire-fighting vehicles to put out the fire. Not a single word about it here in this IPOB-BIAFRA Echo Chamber, not to talk of a honest, robust discourse about the incidence in which millions of naira worth of goods were lost. Just scroll up and see what most of you posted here yesterday. If it is not Tinubu bashing, it is Yorubaphobia. One of you was even baiting me with his "looking man" innuendo. And this is supposedly a forum of Igbo intellectuals? Professors, PhDs one or two whom I have seen on TV pontificating against the election of BAT, etc? Senior journalists, publishers and columnists of Igbo extraction? All of you self-censored, mute, chasing rat, playing on your normal Yoruba/Tinubu hate flutes while the Onitsha Market burns! Not a single one of you raised an eyebrow! Not a single one of you questioned HE Soludo why Asaba had to cross the Niger Bridge to come and help you put off the fire in your most famous market, put off the inferno in your homestead! None of you asked Peter Obi how he governed for EIGHT years and he had no legacy of a fire-fighting infrastructure to protect Onitsha Market and indeed the whole of Anambra! None of you Professors, PhDs, veteran journalists, etc asked why Obiano did build same fire-fighting infrastructure Peter Obi did not build! You all played the ostrich while your home burns. You hate yourselves this much? You cared about your image this much as to hush up your collective tragedy? You cannot speak up, speak truth to power, cry out loud about the obvious failure of Peter Obi, Obiano and Soludo to deliver good governance to you in Anambra for over a decade now? You prioritise political correctness over saving your legacy market, your state, your people and their business? The Lagos you all go about venting over here, did you not see the fire-fighting infrastructure it has, including some recently unveiled fire-fighting vehicles HE Sanwoolu unveiled? Did you not see Gov. Sanwoolu promptly returning back to work yesterday inspecting the progress of work on the Lagos Redline Railways? Did you not see his tweets about how Lagos is already prepared to take advantage of the new power law signed by PMB which now puts power generation, transmission and distribution in states? Did you know that I immediately @ my Governor HE Dapo Abiodun, on Tweeter and urged him to use his second term to lay the Ogun State bedrock of Energy Security in my state? Not a single comment about these paradigm shift in national matters from all you Igbo professors, PhDs, intellectuals here to the South East governors! Governorship Election was held in Three South-East states and 28 states nationwide. Adamawa and Kebbi have been declared "inclusive" in line with the electoral laws. Of the three states in your homeland, only Ebonyi - the inferior Igbo to the rest of you, the state governed by the much-hated APC and your favourite bash-subject HE Umahi has elected a new governor and all state lawmakers. Your "superior Igbo" states of Abia and Enugu are embroiled in turmoil caused by your Nzogbu Nzogbu Politics within yourselves - PDP and PDP-lite, Ellup P. This IPOB-BIAFRA Echo Chamber had not deemed it fit to debate these obvious retrogression in your homeland when the rest of Nigeria had moved on from the 2023 General Elections! Is the situation in Abia and Enugu the creation of the President-Elect, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Lagos, or the Yoruba Race? Is this not why sometimes Rev. Chisom dismisses you all here as "Ottellectuals"? You thought I didn't see what you have been posting about Tinubu, BAT, Yorubaphobia since yesterday and even since this morning? I see them all. I simply look, shake my head in pity for you all! If you are still capable of retrieving your lost thinking caps, you had better reflect on this post. Ndigbo, this Ofe Mmanu has read your writers. I have said so severally here. This Ofe Mmanu is telling you: Ndigbo, you do not yet know where the rain started beating you. Ndigbo, you are your own problem, not PMB, not BAT, not me, not the Yoruba Race, not Lagos, Fulani, Hausa, the North, Nigeria etc. Ndigbo, "When a man says 'yes', his chi also says 'yes'. O ku n'ibon n ro! 🤝🏾🤝🏾🤝🏾 1 Like 1 Share |

Faber: You OBIDIENT have pride and so full of arrogance. Didn't your GENERAL OBEDIENT OBI campaign for CHINEDU PATRICK OF LAGOS. I taught according to your suggestions and views people suppose to rally and cast all the vote for GBADEBO CHINEDU PATRICK. One things you guys don't understand is that some youths fell for your decit at first during presidential election but they are waking up from sleep. They realise your movement is all but SCAMS. |

class0247: Stop saying rubbish and rewriting history with false and nonsense info. The Oba of Benin had an intermediary in Lagos who used to communicate with the Yorubas ( who was later called the Oba of a particular section of Lagos). he was a person who traded with the indigenous Yoruba and more of an intermediary or secretary or diplomat of the Oba of benin and if the Yorubas wanted to do business with the Oba of benin he was the intermediary they will use... Lagos was called a farm ( Oko ) and also part of Ogun then the Portuguese came and called the part of Ogun they traded with Lagos.. and it was governed by warring Yoruba tribes that's why the Oba of Benin intermediary called it war camp ( eko ).. over time the intermediary stopped been a Bini indigene and Yorubas took over the post and changed it to Oba of Lagos.. |

Everlastingson: Do you know that we have Igbo in the Lagos State House of Assembly. We have Igbo in the Lagos Cabinet as a Commissioner. No single Yoruba person in all the 5 South East states not even a Special Assistant to the Governor. We have many Igbo that we know in Lagos, Oyo and even Ondo civil service. No single Yoruba in all the South East civil service. University of Nigeria Nsuka, UNN has never produced Yoruba Students Union President. Obafemi Awolowo University, University of Ibadan, University of Lagos and even Lagos University have produced Igbo as students Union President. Igbo had been Vice Chancellor at UI and UNILAG. Yoruba can never and has never been VC in any Igbo University, not even Head of Department. Ondo State Medical University under Olusegun Mimiko appointed an Igboman ad Vice Chancellor. Nnamdi Azikiwe even wanted to be Prime Minister over Yorubaland but Awolowo never had that aspiration and you think it is normal? That a tiger moves slowly is not a sign of cowardice. Can Igbo stand a Yoruba person saying Onitsha, Owerri or Enugu Ukwu is no man's land? The Obi of Onitsha once said he came from Ile Ife, but no Yorubaman has ever lay claim to owning Onitsha Alaba market, several square kilometer of land was given to Igbo by Jakande, but no Yorubaman can own one plot of land in Igboland. MKO Abiola with all his money never got any plot of land. Across Yorubaland who will find streets and closes named after Igbo, you can't find that in Igboland. But some of your people claim Lagos "Na no man's land" Each election year, you raise Gubernatorial aspirants in Yoruba territories and you even nod your people on not that you have a better programme but that Igbo should take over Lagos? When Ojukwu started the war his target was Ore and Lagos? Why? Have you read history at all? Akintola and many Yoruba were killed during Kaduna Nźeogwu coup but no single Igbo was killed? Your lord, Nnandi Kanu issued radio life broadcast asking Igbo to attack Tinubu and Sanwo Olu during ENDSARs protests. He said they should attack all Yoruba Governors, Dr Fayemi, Akeredolu etc. The records are there. He even urged them to attack Yoruba police stations and cart away arms? He said Oyingbo is owned by Igbo eventhough Yoruba didn't share any boundary with Igbo people. Some of you even say you own Ile Ife. You deliberately confuse. UGBO (Ilaje) with IGBO Your statement here has shown that you are another Kanu in disguise. You are an ìngrate. You don't appreciate your kindhearted hosts. What you have done is to stir hate and avarice. We need to tell you some Home truths about your own history which you arrogantly but stupidly hate to admit Please be careful not to dip your hands too dip into the lungs of your host so that it will not be bitten mercilessly to your eternal regret. Be aware that madness is not your own exclusive trademark." ........ 1 Like |

class0247: Who told you that Benin are original owner. Lagos was discovered by the Aworis who migrated from Ile IFE. In their quest for expansion some move from Ido to Otta and to Agbado to Isheri to Ikate to Isolo and etc. While in their living Ijebu merchandise who came on business join them and some stay in popular area called somolu bariga iyana oworo etc. Along the line Edo Prince came to do business with the foreign invaders the Portuguese and on discovery that their is loops hole in governing entity called Eko. They took the advantage and wage war and impose their Prince to rule Island not all Lagos. Lagos mainland are already have their kings and monarchial systems like Aworis in Isheri Isolo Otta etc. So the Brazil and Saro returned came and join in the quest. So the truth is the real Indigenous peoples of Lagos are AWORIS who are descendant of OLOFIN OGUNFUNMINIRE the great grand children of ODUDUWA. |
