How can you name a bank like stanbic and standard chartered banks as headed by yoruba CEO. Just wait a minute did I see an acquired bank that is now owned by another bank.
The truth is that igbos control the systemic banks like zenith, uba, access, diamond.
The systemic bank control for more than 90 of the deposit and are responsible for most of the banking revenue.

They control banking industry and evidence is showing otherwise.

Is someone not running the Stanbic and Stan Chart business in Nigeria?

Park well and bring out facts and figures.

scholes0:
lol.... Are you paying that Joke of an article any credence .... He said the CEO's of 85% of Nigerian banks are Easterners and Northerners.... lmao
That alone makes even the others that might be credible like the NUC one seem like another cooked up rubbish.

In their lives they love lying and taking tales by moonlight as their facts and figures.

They are too academically and mentally lazy to do research and present scientific, undeniable and verifiable facts and figures.

If they have their way, they will even tell us their fathers joysticks are the biggest in the world. Bunch of iinferior set of people, always looking for things that will boost the complex,

Below is the list of Banks and their CEO plus their likely regions:

9 out of the 20 CEOs are from SW, which is 45%.

We need an empirical evidence of Anambra having the highest doctoral degree holder. There was nothing of such on NUC website.

Ibos and their eternal lying mechanism deflated again. They think Doctoral Degrees are acquired inside 2by2inches shops. Jokers.

That was how they told us Ojukwu's father had a Rolls Royce that Queen of England rode in, on her visit to Nigeria. Alas, it was demystified.

That was how they told us Nigeria took over their companies through indigenisation policy. Another demystified lies of the y ibos.

Chigold101:
check this site... does it look like cable website? http://www.bbc.com/swahili/habari/2015/05/150513_human_meat_nigeria

The OP posted the cable website before. He changed it when I raised the issue.

Sunnybobo3:
That cable is reporting a news from the BBC.

Report the news directly from BBC.

I never knew the cable is the megaphone for BBC.

Why is the cable apologising on behalf of BBC?

Doesn't BBC have a website of theirs?

http://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/183321-america-names-40-nigerians-for-2015-mandela-washington-fellowship-full-list.html

The U.S. embassy in Nigeria has selected 40 Nigerians to participate in the Mandela Washington Fellowship Programme for Young African Leaders in 20 top U.S. universities, for a period of six weeks.
Speaking in Abuja on Tuesday, U.S. Ambassador James Entwistle, congratulated the beneficiaries on their selection.
Mr. Entwistle explained that the 40 Nigerian fellows were selected amongst 7,000 Nigerian applicants and tens of thousands of others throughout Africa.
“I congratulate the newly selected 2015 Mandela Washington fellows. As you may know, you competed with more than 7,000 applicants from Nigeria alone.“You all should be proud of your accomplishment.“Your selection says a lot about who you are as young leaders, and the level of impact you are having on your communities as entrepreneurs, civic leaders and public servants,” he said.

The envoy explained that the Mandela Washington Fellowship for Young African Leaders, is an integral part of President Barack Obama’s commitment to invest in the future of Africa.“The White House created this initiative in recognition of the critical and increasing role that young Africans play in strengthening democratic institutions, spurring economic growth, and enhancing peace and security.”

Entwistle said 45 fellows from Nigeria were among the 500 young people selected from across Africa in 2014 to participate in the fellowship.
According to him, the fellows engage in an intensive, six-week fellowship at 20 top U.S. universities.“They also had the opportunity to participate in a presidential summit, hosted by President Obama in Washington, D.C.“Some fellows also completed internships with prestigious U.S. organisations like the Smithsonian Institution, the Brookings Institution, and Deloitte Consulting,” he said.

Mr. Entwistle said fellows from the programme were using their knowledge and experiences to scale up their businesses and initiate projects that would have a tremendous impact on society.The U.S. envoy advised the fellows to be good ambassadors, saying that they would have the opportunity to meet hundreds of bright and inspiring minds from other parts of Africa.He admonished them to take advantage of the opportunity to learn, share, and expand their network.

Speaking with the News Agency of Nigeria, one of the fellows, Hassan Rilwan, said he looked forward to learning how to build a generationally-sustainable business model.“Most Nigerian businesses do not grow beyond the first generation. In America, you see businesses that are beyond a century or 200 years.Another fellow, Grace Jerry, who is physically-challenged, said she hoped to learn about mainstreaming disability in development efforts in Nigeria.

Get off my mention, deluded bunch of people.

fr3do:
Respect is reciprocal.

It has always been accorded you but what have we been.hearing ---

They are lazy and we are hardworking, as if they are feeding anybody.

They are dirty and we are clean, as if Aba and Onitsha are in SW or SS or North.

They are poor and we are rich, as if we do not have access to forbes list of Africans and we know the people selling gala on the highways and fake goods in 2by2inches shops.

They are dullards and we are brilliant, as if we do not know where the top public and private ranking schools in this country are located.

pazienza:
None of those things you stated were the topics in discuss here, so I don't know how you can disprove what was never in discussed

The Topic of discussion was the circumstances surrounding Ironsi's death and Jesus Fajuiyi story role as explained by Nwankwor.

If you want those other topics discussed, open a thread on them and then invite me, I will be quite happy to oblige.


Meanwhile, you failed to provide any hate speech by Igbo leaders pre civil war, that was directed towards other Nigerian groups, not even one! *grins*

The tales by moonlight story that started this thread is the usual Igbo revisionist attempt distort history, just like Achebe tried to and he failed.

You are asking for hate speeches of Igbo leaders, when Anambra's election is still very fresh in our memory.

pazienza:
*grins*

So predictable! Anyway, the purpose of this thread had been achieved.

The Yoruba lies of Jesus Fajuiyi has been exposed and rendered as lies and falsehood! It's now left for rational minds out there to judge for themselves, the extent people can go to distort history!

As per the last part of your post, I sometimes wonder why Yorubas don't desire Odua republic, it's really interesting, though I already have my own hypothesis on that.

Breaking out of a parasitic nation is not always that Easy, it takes more than just diplomacy, which by the way, Ndiigbo have in abundance than your Yoruba group, as your diplomacy have not helped you to reclaim Ilorin.
Catalonia is still struggling to free itself from parasitic Spain, even as organized and advanced as Catalonia is, they are not finding it easy, much more Biafra.

But one thing is sure, if we keep trying, we will overcome one day! Achebe never gave up on Biafra, no man should!

As for me the following were achieved with this thread:

1. The disproving of the "We are being persecuted unjustly mentality of igbos"

2. The disproving of "we had money in the bank and we were paid 20pounds lies of the igbos"

3. The disproving of the "indigensation policy was targeted at us lies of the Igbos".

We desire our Odua State but we know the reality and truth of how difficult it is to realise, without starting first with regionalism. That is why we have always been the main canvassers for regionalism system of governance, that SE and SS are just clamouring for. With that, you can easily have your resource control and tend towards nationhood gradually, rather than out rightly asking for a nationhood that will be antagonised at all diplomatic channels.

It would have been nice if your diplomacy was able to get get back your forefathers houses, streets and even towns (eg Oyigbo) that were declared abandoned, hijacked and renamed in Rivers State. Lmao.

To be candid and objective the only parasitic region within Nigeria is SE. NW NE and NC offers Nigeria food and offering of their lives to defend the integrity and sovereignty of.our nation.through the various forces that they dominate, SW human capacity income from taxes and duties, conducive business environment, as well as oil, while SS has oil.

What is SE offering? OK your 2by2 inches trading shops constituting nuisance and eye sore to other regions? It is obvious you depend on others and others do not depend upon you. How many people do you see coming to SE to buy things to sell in their region? That says it all about the parasitism of some people.

Kindly expedite action on your Biafra or Beeafran mirage.

pazienza:
Ndiigbo cannot forget or forgive the events that took place between 1966-70 and even beyond, we will be stupid to, not when the groups that brought such pain and destruction to us remain unrepentant and show no remorse for their actions.

Achebe knew the Igbo consciousness needed re awakening, that's why he gave us that book before he died. All those years he kept rejecting awards from Nigeria and her leaders, giving them excuses, but I want to believe that was his own way of showing his rejection of Nigeria and all she stands for, Achebe never stopped being a Biafran at heart, all Igbo persons with brains shouldn't stop being Biafrans at heart, for even if you stop being so, it makes no difference, cos other Nigerians still see us as such.


I am pan African, I harbour no hatred for any Black African group, but I believe strongly that Igboland deserve and needs to be an independent nation of it's own.

The Genesis of the events of 1966-70 started with the Igbos. Therefore, we all deserve apologies first from the Igbos. We can now take it from there. If you are expecting Nigerian state to apologise first, without you take the first step, you are on a long thing, after absorbing Igbos back into.Nigeria, even subsidies their lives at the end of the war with 20pounds - without working for.the Nigerian State for 3years, in fact you wasted our resources, time that could have been spent on national development and human lives. That was fair enough.

The stup1d book written by Achebe, only made us to realise how sorrowful Achebe was on his death bed, nothing more nothing less.

Igbos realising their long sought after nationhood is very easy. Just head to Geneva and engage UN, based on the charter of self determination. The problem is do you have the patience and diplomatic acumen for such tortuous and rigorous process. UK will get her allies -- US, FRANCE to vote against it,because it projects them in bad light of being bad administrators. We are one of the very few standing large nations colonised by Britain. India and Pakistan have gone their ways. Burma has gone the same way. To them it's their pride that will be at stake and.not your glorious right of self determination. There is no harm in.trying.

pazienza:
Show me a single pre civil war hate speech made by Zik or anyother. Igbo leader against any Nigerian ethnic group?

There are none! All They did was take pride in the Igboman's achievements as a people and individuals, and forecasting a greater future for Ndiigbo and Igboland.

All those while, there were many Igbophobic utterances emanating from different quarters of Nigeria.

Rather than spread their wings and soar with the Eagle, the Nigerian chickens even though with wings of their own, grew fat with envy, refused to fly, but instead sought for ways to force the Eagle to walk with them.

Pazienza, we have all been around NL for long and we have dwelt on every single events concerning the bitter experience and the not too glorious actions of our all our founding fathers, we cannot keep arguing back and forth on a yearly basis on.them.

Have learnt a lot from all the political discuss on NL. Some really made me to read in-depth about Nigeria. The contributions of Deridegull now Dede1, katsumoto etc have been eye opening. In all our ethnic jingoism and jibes, we have all.learnt a lot. I now understand the culture and mentality of a typical Igboman, which is totally not.in tandem.with a yorubaman and hausa/fulani.

This generation and the coming ones have a choice of either learning from the mistakes of the past and avoid repeating them OR keep dwelling on them till eternity comes.

All sides made fundamental mistakes and there was a high level of immaturity in most of their actions. None of them was a saint.

Do not bring the achievements issue here. Even your Chinua Achebe alluded to.it that the Yorubas were ahead of everybody. That is a story for another day,all the same.

One thing I will jot stand on NL, is some younger generations spewing rubbish about the events of 1966 based on false heroics and tales by moonlight stories of their fathers and uncles.

SopranoCoder:
omg Ironsi wasn't in on the coup becuase he crushed it. Have you not heard anything I've said? Whay don't you people really complain about Hausa coups? Just because an Ibo man did it he's the devil. Hypocritical Nigeria.

"Abacha planned his coup and benefited from it and he owes no one apology for it. Now story."
wow you really just tried to exculpate Gen Sanni Abacha for his grievous sins. But just imagine if Abacha was Igbo, Igbo people and their descendants won't hear word for 200 years.

False heroics? You know it was because the suffering in Biafra that Doctors Without Borders was established, yet with all that they persisted for 3 years.

My uncle didn't tell me any lies. He wasn't even in the army. He worked in one the mobile oil refineries the Ibo built and maintained during the war.

1. I said convince me on Ironsi not being part of the coup ab initio, if he was the beneficiary of the coup and he also refused to let the most senior civilian minister to take over? You are just busy exclaiming, as if your exclamation is the fact that I need.

2. Coups have always been labeled one way or the other and the maib actors in such coups have never been apologetic. Gideon Orkar's coup was seen as NC coup and the NC never apologised for it and they also were not asking for apology of the Nigerian State for killing their sons. Reverse is the case with the Igbos. Take responsibility for your actions and bear the consequences of it. Shikena.

3. Abacha was kanuri and NE and was demonised to the highest heavens. He is the most demonised president in the Nigerian history. If he was an Igbo president, what we would be hearing is "Leave him, he is our son, in whom.we are well.pleased". That is the difference.

4. If your uncle did not tell you any story, then read more with an open mind. Leave your Igbo ethnicity on one side and read with an open mind. Ask questions the people on the other side are asking and now find answers to.it with your Igbo mind. Then see if your answers can convince you yourself.

5. Stop this your annoying they held out for 3years pantomime. The Nigerian State did not declare full scale war till 1968. However, Tamil Tigers held out for 2decades in Sri Lanka, FARC have been holding out for decades in Colombia, Osama Bin Laden held out for a whole decade against US, Boko Haram is holding out against Nigeria for 6yeara and ISIS has been holding out against the rest of the world for almost 3years.

There is nothing to be celebrated in a stup1d heroics that led 3million women and children alone to their untimely deaths.

SopranoCoder:
Wait you're angry that Ironsi didn't want to give up power after he crushed the coup?
So what if he wanted to be head of state?
When Sanni Abacha, who is arguably our most corrupt and abusive leader, seized power from the constitutionally-recognized interim government nobody complained.

See what I mean. Just Ibo hate. nothing else.

Then how do you want to convince me he was not part of the coup ab initio, if he was not ready to let the most senior Minister become the Prime Minister? See Igboman's logic.

Abacha planned his coup and benefited from it and he owes no one apology for it. Now story.

There is no Ibo hatred in this. I am just subjecting your brain to critical reasoning and for you to.purge yourselves of the lies that your uncles told you of their false heroics.

There is no crime in that.

Anyway, you are yet to answer my fundamental and highly germane questions.

pazienza:
Ndiigbo are not just good at calumny and image destruction, we are naturally self absorbed people, preferring to work on our self rather than work on other people.

I look back at pre civil war Nigeria, I see Igbophobic utterances from various Nigerian tribal leaders, from Akintola Ronu speech, Oba Akenzua article, to Saraduna infamous igbophobic speech, and I look at Ndiigbo, I couldn't find one of such hate speech directed at other groups by Igbo leaders of that era, all I see is self praise and glorification of Igbo achievements and plans to achieve more in the future.

That was their greatest undoing, they were so self absorbed that they allowed lots of Igbophobic slurs emanating from different Nigerian ethnic groups slide without proper rebuttal and even a billion times hate speech directed at such groups. They pretended all was right until they woke up one morning and found out that the rest of the country were drunk with Igbophobia.


The present generation of Ndiigbo will not repeat the mistakes of our front runners, every iota of Igbophobic utterance or actions by any Nigerian group must be properly debunked, refuted and dissected to expose the falsehood here in. FFK and Oba of Lagos had since learnt this lesson the bitter way.

The modern Igbo will not stop just at self praise and glorification of our achievements as a group and individuals, but will return every iota of hatred directed at the Igbo nation with a trillion times more hatred towards the offending group or person,this is the modern reality, tell your people that this is a new Igbo era.

As usual Igbos always claiming the victim. Why other were making Igbophobic speeches, what was Azikiwe doing? He was busy drinking tea and inspecting guard of honours every morning, which were his primary constitutional role, being the ceremonial president?

The Igbos of the new era should also inculcate respect for others and decorum in their new curriculum. Of lessons of life learnt by them.
