SeeWahala:
Brown roofs and South east is not supposed to be in the same sentence the worst is that you threw the word prominent into the mix.

Try to create a new thread with such information and watch the speed at which it gets deleted (according to your special rule 😀

Just try it and see, this isn't me asking you the difference between colored and colorized again today oh

Maybe you want me to show you more pictures and threads of SE brown roofs

SE is one of the least developed region in this contraption.

No wonder your people are fleeing the region on droves. 😂

DMerciful:
Nothing concern me with the Op. Why mention my nationality for someone who never said he is from my nationality?

Then why are you in this thread created by the OP if nothing concerns you with the OP. Make it make sense.

Thormentor:
ok boss i understand

i might i have gone over the rules but it's a myth that has not yet been bursted

i was genuinely curious

thanks

Still violation of rule 8 though. 🤔

DMerciful:
I'm Igbo but why mention Ibo when the Op never mention his nationality in the thread?

You did not caution the OP for opening divisive thread but you came after me for pushing back.

Hypocrite.

SeeWahala:
After it has finished favoring you please try to remember your father's house in ogbomosho and go to at least change its roofing sheets from zinc to aluminium (if your favor money reach sha)

So we won't open another thread to yab you again tomorrow, Mynd44 won't be around to delete that thread then because he will be on holidays

We acknowledge the brown roof. Same brown roof is prominent in the SE. Stop making it a one region thing.

Enugu below.

Thank God SEPLAT is indigenous.

helinues:
Bro, it's not longer favouring them IJN, I mean. Everything

Yeeeh, can't stop laughing here

😂😂😂

DMerciful:
Why did you mention Ibo?

Because OP and his supporters on this thread are Ibo including yourself, or are you going to deny your tribe?

This guy still dey.

How come GRV's wife's father is not on the list. That man stole Kogi state blind.

Thormentor:
i made a thread today about why
everyone in SW are forming Lagosians online

they've deleted it LMAO




I'll be taking break here for now..


you people should enjoy your site for now

Because that's not true..it likely got deleted for rule 8 i.e. posting false information on Nairaland. I have never met a Yoruba man that's from Ilesha or Abeokuta or Oshogbo claiming Lagos. Yorubas are naturally proud of their own hometowns and agbole.

However, don't get it twisted OP. Every Yoruba would also fight and defend every inch of their ancestral land (the entire SW region). E.g. The Yoruba man (Awolowo) that fought most for Lagos is not even from Lagos. Awolowo is an Ijebu man from present day Ogun state.

MakindeHassan:
Oga you said farmer like that was his only occupation before becoming president.

Obj was already a leader that can walk into rooms with international leaders that some of our local politicians cannot even dare.

All respect to Pa Olu Falae but they were not mates in politics.

The records are there.

MakindeHassan:
Tell me what input the “strategic partner” provided if funding was solely from the private partner and also tell me who conceived the idea if it was Tinubu that conceived the idea and approached the company or the International company heard of the problem Lagos faced and approached with the idea.

When you find the answer, if you are bold enough to post the true answer then you would have successfully contradicted yourself.

Invitation to invest, Regulatory, Approvals e.t.c.
Prior to Eko Atlantic and the great wall of Lagos, FG was pumping 4 billion naira yearly to sandfill barbeach. Indomie generation kids will not know that. Tinubu told them to stop that he had a better solution, and he invited Chagoury.

Same way he brought Lagos the Lekki free trade zone, that man is above all the rubbish politicians we have in Nigeris.

MakindeHassan:
When were you born?

Farmer ke?

Obj was a former head of state. He handed over to a democratic government winning the heart of the west.

He was rumored to be a freemason. If true that alone should give you an idea to his connections. Obj was already a leading figure in Africa as the west tried to make him a shinning example of a military ruler that can embrace democracy as a way of encouraging other military rulers in Africa to carry out elections. In the 1970’s Africa was plagued with different coups.

Some of you really think Obj is your mate.

When was I born? Lol. I am sure this Mushin born man is older than you.

What was Obasanjo's occupation from when he left power as military head of state till Abacha locked him up 😂. He is not called agbe for nothing. He has sold a good chuck of his farms though especially the ones around the Akute axis of Ogun state.

kachistone:
You are funny chief. Awolowo is better than the great Zik of Africa? How?

You said what did Zik do for Igbos. Hmmm. I graduated from UNN a school founded by Zik in Oct. 1960.

The economy of Eastern Nigeria in the 1950s and 1960s was rated amongst the highest in the world due to Zik's pragmatism and Michael Okpara's policies.

Zik made the Igbos to be at the forefront of Nigeria's politics in the 50's and 60's and you say Awolowo is greater than him.

Sir, I respect Awolowo and I wish Zik and Awolowo put their egos because their partnership would have been beneficial to the country.

But I wouldn't tolerate any Zik slander. He was the biggest politician in his time and the Biafran movement didn't gain much international prominence because Zik believed in one Nigeria to the core.

Biafra would have succeeded if Zik supported it because he had the clout and international connections.

Economy of Western Nigeria was the best in that era and still the best in Nigeria till date; hence, the continuous migration to the SW from other parts of the country.

Two different reports from the 1950s -1960s below 👇

MakindeHassan:
It’s this kind of talk and thinking that has brought us where we are.

As for Eko Atlantic, I know because I have my sources. Go and try negotiating a land there and see the account your money goes into.. unfortunately many Nigerians cannot afford this and transparency is not common.

A foreign company proposed the idea to the government as a way to stop the flooding in VI. It was a win-win deal. The flooding will be stopped and they will own prime real estate in one of the best parts of Lagos.

I give Tinubu his credit for allowing the deal pull through. Some greedy governors will have declined if they weren’t given hefty bribes but Eko Atlantic is not a government project.

Eko atlantic founded in 2003 was Tinubu's idea. The records are there. Eko Atlantic development is being carried out as a Public–private partnership (PPP) with private companies and investors providing the funding, whilst Lagos State Government(LASG) is a strategic partner.

In 2003, Tinubu was the governor of Lagos state. Thank you for giving him credit.

MakindeHassan:
You really think the world works how it plays in your head. So a whole tribe decided to vote one Yoruba man over the other just to spite the Yoruba’s?! Ah! This is hilarious.

Obj has always been a diplomatic and detribalized person. He built bridges with other tribes years years ago. He has his faults and is not perfect but trust me. Go to the north, go to the south, go to international community, he has a network and is very popular. Obj was simply a better politician. No bias

Prior to 1999. Obj was just a farmer. The bolded were post 1999. That's the power of the presidency.

Ibos have used anti Yoruba bias to win elections in the SE. This is common knowledge. The opponent of a SE politician in the last election deliberately created posters of his opponent with the name Abiola, just so that Ibos would not vote for someone with a Yoruba name.

Peter Obi used the same logic in 2011 and 2013.

MakindeHassan:
Why won’t they stone them? With the way you carry hate on your head you will do same. If someone was accused of same things Awo was accused of. Even if just 10% of them had above £10 that was not a fair policy. When una see truth make una dey talk

Tinubu spent 8 years planning abi? Why didn’t he implement his own plans. Even Eko Atlantic is a private project hope you know. Some of you were kids when Tinubu was Governor. I remember how unsafe and dirty Lagos was. The Development started from Fashola if you want to be honest and you’re a true Lagosian.

Why didn’t they stone Obasanjo?

I’m not even saying one side is better than the other but just get your head out of your ass and focus on your future. Hate will get you nowhere.

Normally, the government was not supposed to give them 1 Kobo, in war, losers don't dictate the terms for the victors.

Eko atlantic founded in 2003 was Tinubu's idea. The records are there. Eko Atlantic development is being carried out as a Public–private partnership (PPP) with private companies and investors providing the funding, whilst Lagos State Government(LASG) is a strategic partner.

The development started with Tinubu. Fashola just continued the work of Tinubu e.g LAMATA is a good example.

Was Obi a politician until not long after he was brought out of Abacha's gulag?

Realtruth2023:
It is a blatant lie. The picture was the same too in the west you had Kings with naked slaves as well. Your talk no get head abeg.

You are confusing yourself. It's a lie and also the West had same. Okay Post the picture of an Ijaw man enslaving a Yoruba or even Itsekiri or Benin...why is it that it was ibos that they enslaved ?

Realtruth2023:
With the exception of Lagos colony you were not different from the rest of us.

The Yorubas had big cities all over. Same as the north and SS.

The SE was effectively unexplored. The Ijaws even kept SEasterners as domestic slaves up to the early 1900s.

Below is a picture of an Ijaw man, his kids and slaves (nude). You can see the Ibo anklets and ichafu (Obi's gele) on the head of the naked girls.

Amotolongbo:
I have always been seeing the bolded. Please can you clarify how the bolded part happened?

As minister of finance, Chief Awolowo's ministry paid £20 only to those former Biafrans whose account records were lost, and to those who held their bank balances in Biafran Pounds.
Since they could not prove how much they had in their accounts, they got a blanket £20. That money was a gift from Nigeria. Those former Biafrans who could prove their account balances received all their monies.

The late Senator Arthur Nzeribe is an example of an Igbo who could prove his account balances. All former Biafrans who had accounts in banks outside the Eastern Region got access to all their funds after the war. The late Chief Alex Ekwueme is an example of this.

In every part of NIgeria, Igbos got their abandoned property back, except in Rivers, where their own fellow Igbo speaking peoples, who somehow say they are not Igbos, seized their property.

Also, there were cases of seized abandoned property in modern day Benue. But it did not happen elsewhere.

Chief Alex Ekwueme is again an example of this. Although he was not really friends, per se, with the recently departed Otunba Subomi Balogun, they lived close to each other. Just before the outbreak of the civil war, Alex Ekwueme left Lagos for the Eastern Region, like most prudent Igbos.

After the war, he returned to Lagos and, surprisingly, met his house in a renovated condition. While he was wondering what happened, his neighbour, Mr. Subomi Balogun, approached him and gave him his back rent in cash.

Chief Ekwueme's children are still alive and can attest to this.

Put yourself in Awolowo’s shoes. Many of the banks in the then Eastern Region had been destroyed. The accounts were in Biafran pounds. Records were lost. And even the banks deliberately destroyed records for fear of being punished for holding Biafran currencies, which had been declared a crime of economic sabotage against Nigeria by General Gowon's government.

Furthermore, after the war, Awolowo paid the Eastern states all their monies from the Federation Account from 1967-1970. He invested it and returned it to them, for which he was acknowledged by SG Ikoku, the Commissioner for Economic Development in East Central State, in the Daily Times of May 22, 1971.

Every family in former Biafra owes a debt of gratitude to the late Chief Obafemi Awolowo. But sadly, many parents who should have taught their children this documented history have instead filled them with hatred by regaling them with wartime propaganda.

These records are still available.

In addition, majority of them don't even have up to £5 in their accounts but still got the £20.

LegendHero:
Don’t mind those guys. They just conjure lies in their brain and then believe their own lies.

Problem is that they fill their heads with all sorts of garbage from Nnamdi Kanu and Simon Ekpa.

thinkmoney:
Mumu. Did u notice that Bendel comprising of Abia and part of Imo today voted Awolowo? Did u see that Rivers comprising igbo parts today voted Shagari?

You can’t lie against data

You people and lies. Bendel is one hundred percent present day Edo and Delta. 🤣

ArcSEMPECJ:
And who told you he is an iGBO man? ....

I saw how you want to put a fight between South South and South East and withdraw yourself to enjoy their fight....

Typical of who you are what what you can offer...
The hatred and animosity on IGBOS didn't start today, it started from your grand fathers, so it is not because of any coastal road that you are vomiting this hatred without proper reasoning but it runs in your blood...

We are talking about spending a whooping sum of #11trillion for just one road construction....

And am now finding out that it is no longer a BOT job but to be self funded by Federal Government, the same Federal Govt crying there is no fund....

Who did we offend in Nigeria ?

Is either this road will be used against someone politically in the rear future and the person is felling he belongs to the inner circle or that the road will enrich some Politicians for now...

Nobody is saying the road should not be constructed , am of the opinion that something unique should be built, but the question is, is this the right time?

There are roads now that takes one from Calabar to Lagos... isn't it?

How has federal Govt maintained the roads

There was a thread where one monicker was showing pictures of coastal roads in US, South Africa, UK ,etc....

Did he check the interior city roads or the roads that one can take to reach the destination the coastal roads provided are

Let me leave you here, heal from your hatred first ..

sonature is indeed an Ibo man. Where is the lie?

Umahi said 8 years not 5 and the government is not self funding it.

Bobloco:
Where do you put Aba and Onitsha

You deliberately refused to mention of the two most cosmopolitan cities in Nigeria because of the fact that you are an ethnic bigot

Those two towns are homogeneous and full of Ibo people. Even aba protested against Otti electing a ceremonial mayor (a man from Anambra) over them.

MakindeHassan:
Some of you are unredeemable tribalist. You need to study history. Awolowo was the brain behind the blockade of the eastern region during the civil war that led to the starvation of Igbo children. Secondly he was the Finance Minister when he decided on the £20 policy that made the SE lose all their savings after the war.

I might be Yoruba but when I see the truth I will say it. If it were you would you vote for him? It was personal against Awo.

It was their choice to vote Peter Obi in 2023. How is that a crime. He was the youngest and most technical and I know Igbo guys that supported Osinbajo until he lost primaries. Rest.

So in all the candidates that contested Obi was the youngest. Why do you Ibos lie with so much confidence?
We all know you ibos wanted Osibanjo because he was a light weight that can't win elections. You calculation is that APC would be out of the game when and if they field Osibanjo which you people always insult and curse out anyway all through Buhari's tenure prior to the election period.

According to US Intel, Ojukwu starved his own people by refusing lsnd border crossing of food supplies. He wanted to keep flying food in via air where weapons were being smuggled in by France.

Even Zik had to beg France to stop aiding the rebels which fell in deaf ears.

Make una stop Listening to radio biafria and Nnamdi Kanu's tribalistic wailing.

You are Ibo. Be proud of your tribe and drop the "I am Yoruba deceit". Nairalanders are not babies. Too much inferiority complex dey worry you.

Up to 10% of Ibos do not even have £20, but they all got £20, and this is even after Ojukwu looted Banks in Benin and the Midwest to steal money. The rich ibos who did not change their money to the worthless Biafria tissue paper got all their money back.

Zxcvbnmghtr:

It's the absolute truth though 🤣

helinues:
Yet na more flocking to other places we have been seeing since that same 2015.

This matter is not about chest beating. Make una walk the talk

Sebi one woman from the SE just invested $20m in a pharmaceutical factory in Ogun state. This was even after all the noise.

kettykin:
Thank God there are very smart people in Niger delta who can sniff out truth, sarcasm, Satanism, stupidity, grace , opportunities from afar, Ahitophel days are numbered

Niger Delta governors support the coastal road project. They also prefer the coastal road over a brewery.

A Christian governor and a core Catholic building a beer factory is something I find intriguing
