You mean the country was working until Yorubas threw the entire place into Chaos,when they couldn't live in peace amongst each other in western region, dividing themselves into Awo and Akintola factions, setting the whole place ablaze in the Now infamous Wild wild west, that served as the prelude to Nzeogwu misguided coup?

Just like the country started to turn a corner, under GEJ, becoming Africa biggest economy and enjoying robust foreign investments under the international clout of NOI.
This was until you Yorubas again decided to take the country back 1983 days, by returning a barely educated vindictive and incompetent former military dictator back to position presidency, thereby undoing all the gains the country had gained since Return Of democracy in 1999.

You really have guts thinking you can pin the failure of your colonial geographical expression on Ndiigbo, a people who had long continued to express their desire to not want to continue being part of your failing British colonial estate, without repercussions.

if u sack a manager of a bank cos his not doing well and appoint another one...... Pls after 10 years will u still blame the former sacked manager for any wrong/problems the bank may av encounterd But zoogerian and sophisticated mo.rons think that after 50 years,, d igbos should continue to be blamed for wat one of their own did(remember that he has already been murderd)

forgetting the fact that people from their tribes has ruled dis country since then......




This country is much worse than a zoo i tell u

marvinsync:
Lol it seems uve given up and stop making points

And if by now u stipl dont know the difference between lagos and onitsha then its sad , lol what business the hausa is doing beggin? , cattle rearing pls
And which yoruba dey for enugu? Brother it seems u confused

Its like ive been talking to a brick wall
Anyways u and i both know u can never admit it and is just gonna keep making forced arguments
So lets end thiz

marvinsync:
why are u so confused
go back to all my quotes I never said the Benin owned Lagos neither did I say the Igbos did ,all I said was no one can claim sole OWNERSHIP of Lagos
now the awori are Yorubas ,yes
they were the original inhabitants of the land , yes
but do they own modern day Lagos , NO!
Eko is a kingdom of Benin and b4 u start screaming the aworis were there first let me tell u
not every first settler is the owner of a place
sometimes people settle somewhere first and then they are conquered and the land is owned by another kingdom
ie not in every situation is first settler = owner of territory , look at the history of European countries and north America

now back to the story the awori and awori alone ( there is no ijebu) were the first settlers in MAINLAND Lagos ( ie Lagos island was empty , another day that would have been a point of discussion) and then they SURRENDERED authority to the Benin and became part of the BENIN kingdom for CENTURIES till they were colonized and and became Lagos
but despite this i still can't say Lagos belongs to Benin because there would be some solid arguments against this such as the end of the Benin empire and such

now u also can't ignore the contributions to Lagos made by the Igbo and other tribes in the country

so let me ask u what other right to Lagos does the Yorubas have other than original settlers of a conquered kingdom Huh?

go and tell ur mommy that the only achievement u afonjas have is a lie

PointZerom:

The same way they prophesied against Chukwuemeka Trump.

Bane2020:
If you can't grasp simple context clues then you have to do better at basic reading and comprehension. But let me break it down for you, Nigeria got OVERWHELMING support from Britain, the former Soviet Union, Egyptian pilots flew your illyushin bombers for you, and wrecked untold horrors on non military facilities...the Nigerian cost of war expenditure ran into incalculable millions... the Brits gave you tanks, ferrets, Saladin armored cars, artillery guns and pieces of all ranges and calibers, war planes, kits, preponderance of heavy to small machine gunsetc...

Biafra on the other hand got pretty much little to nothing in form of military support from world powers, we got just sympathy of promises, diplomatic recognitions from few countries, relief materials, and the closest to military aid we got was mostly obsolete WW2 sten guns, Cetme rifles, Mark 4 bolt action rifles(the type that makes shakakpum! when fired?... yeah picture that against the ratatatata of Nigerian machine guns in a typical battle scenario) few Kalashinovs, mortal barrels with poor ranges, and 60% of our weapons actually captured from the Nigerian soldiers... and the ubiquitous Ogbunigwe that was pretty much the mainstay of our defence, so yes in comparison to Nigeria... we were pretty much fighting the war by ourselves.

Bane2020:
There were pockets of violence committed by Biafran soldiers in the Midwest, at least no truthful Igbo will deny that. But the Federal side took violence on their own side to a whole new level of barbarism, I'm not sure Biafrans rounded up thousands of innocent civilians and shot them in cold blooded frenzy like was documented in Asaba... that singular act alone dwarfed any Biafran atrocity.

Bane2020:
The dude is a dunce. What this clowns fail to understand is that Biafra never got as much military support from the foreign powers as their make believe narratives keep telling them. Even Ojukwu himself wasn't prepared for the war, he only used hyperbolic nuances at the early stage of the budding crisis by making his famous statement that no black power in Africa could defeat Biafra if war came to her... just to offset the growing confidence in the Nigerian military circle of a quick and surgical Victory over the East. Ojukwu merely used reverse psychology, and it proved effective in delaying the declaration of war by Gowon on the East (the war on Biafran borders was supposed to come earlier than July 6,1967)...but the Federal side overestimated Ojukwu's bluff. Biafra from the onset got no full military support like the Nigerians did, and the support when it did come only came in spurts and bits from the rather overcautious French government... and it came rather belatedly at that when we were pretty much fighting on wobbly legs. The fact that Biafra endured the war for that long is very commendable, albeit for a symmetrical war with a vast Nigerian Army ceaselessly attacking a very small Biafran territory,.only an idiot will not give the Igbos credit for holding out that long.

Born2Breed:
Everyone keeps referring to the number of casualty on the Biafra side but none about the casualty on Nigerians side.

When the Biafra's attacked the former Bendel on their was to Lagos alot of Edo/Delta citizens were murdered until the Benin Resistance Movement had to resort to self help by using the guerrilla tactics to weaken the Biafra soldiers before the arrival of the Nigerian army.

These one sided story has to stop,three million Nigerians died from both the former Biafra and Nigerias side.

marvinsync:
sit down
and listen
my first point ever was NO ONE CAN CLAIM SOLE OWNERSHIP OF LAGOS and that's all I've been tryna prove by saying the history of lagos

now about the history of Lagos
[b]there was some conflict with the awori and the Benin traders which then led to the prince of Benin coming over and was GLADLY AND HAPPILY WELCOMED in fact he was told to stay and RULE them
so then Eko ( which is what the land was named by the Benin was called then) became part of the BENIN [/b]empire ( and yes slavery was done there , use the correct Google ) and it remained so until Lagos ( which it was called by the Portuguese ) was colonized and became the capital of Nigeria ( yes the aworis never gained freedom, so that means by technicality that if Nigeria gained independence from the white and so did Lagos then Eko is still part of the Benin empire )
now about the Niger Delta oil , I never said that it was what single handedly resulted to the growth of Lagos or that it was we Igbos
I'm saying it's all of that
all tribes in Nigeria are represented here in high numbers and they are all tax payers too ( though the Igbos are in the highest number)

so that's my point
stop claiming what u don't own ( ur oba which I think might be Benin said so himself )


now about Onitsha , the Benin never ruled Onitsha they never had an oba there so Onitsha never belonged to them they were simply immigrants !!!
they might have contributed to the development but that's all!!!

ps where did the ijebus come from
in my own Google only the aworis where the original inhabitants of Eko

mpianya39:
Why must you quote me??

mpianya39:
The Biafra soldiers would tell us, Gowon and Ojukwu are enjoying themselves in Aburi and we are busy fighting ourselves here, please give us some food, we would then throw cigarettes and sometimes beer to them across the water. “But after at about an hour, we would start shooting at ourselves.

Nonsense why not tell us how you guys killed 3 million biafrans kids that got nothing to do with that war??

Juliusmalema:
Sorry I don't discuss with those who knows nothing about war...or those who has never fought any war before......

Good morning.

Igbos begging aboki to accept title?

This is so funny

marvinsync:
lol firstly just take 5 seconds to Google the history of Lagos and stop saying all these " the Benin jumped over ondo , Ogun, to own Lagos" cause u sound like an illiterate


secondly the Benin simply migrated to Onitsha because of the issues going on in their land and there were already people there , it even had a different name migrating to a place doesn't make u the owner there and I seem to recall at some point Onitsha was the capital of IGBO LAND
go to Onitsha and speak a Benin language and see who will answer u they were simply just immigrants
cry me a river

but the case is different in Lagos
Lagos( Eko) was actually created by the oba of Benin and the Benin kingdom ruled it for centuries and made it a center of trade and slavery and I never said the Benin owned Lagos
but I said Lagos has a history of being built by different tribes even the Niger Delta oil was involved
it would be nonsense to give it all to a particular tribe because they are the majority
and note the only original settlers of Eko was the awori the rest of the Yorubas u see here migrated from Ogun and osun


so pls do ur research I'm tired of arguing when Google is there
