achi4u: Not all igboland,we still have a well planned cities inside alaigbo, that one side is rotten doesn't mean the entire SE is a mess.

Again, Oga Sloan,at the other thread,I like the way you analyze things and putting things in the right perspective but surprise to see you fighting dirty here!

All in all we are the same.
I quite appreciate your objectivity gentleman and I am sure Sloan does too. For some mor0ns to be telling us Onitsha is California and Aba is Rio de janeiro is an insult on our level of knowledge.

There is no where in Nigeria that has gotten there, some are just more on the right path than others.

ifechez: this is why most yorobars are cows. so u are listing fast food outlets and chewing gum houses as manufacturing outfit. all the the Igbo companies I gave u produce one tin or the other.
So your ewu doesn't realise how big the candy market or fast food market are in nigeria. Ewu reasons with their asses. That is what you just exhibited.

10naira chewing gum for 10million kids per day times 30days and 12 months is how much.

Calculate it and show the world which of your backyard factories can achieve that in 12years. This are not companies that import or produce sub-standard goods. Even Inoson, how many of his cars have you bought.

You lack business intelligence.

Sloan you have their time to be posting pix. They think the building of storey building shows modernization. They don't know it shows want of space and land. Where will they even build, when nature has claimed 2/3rd of their red mud land.

ngozievergreen: ur forefathers simply has no taste, if what they were building were Ibadan, akure, Oshogbo in the name of cities.
At least they still tried. Where are the palm
Frond huts of your cave forefathers. Ours is still standing gidi gba like bagco super sack after 500year. Nothing was handed over to you by your own. Says so much about your republican tendencies. Republican ko confederacy ni.

My forefathers were building cities yours were busy building huts and fighting bare chested in the market square.

Like I said, always pay royalties to the British and samuel Ajayi Crowther.

Cities all over the world shows evolution by having the old part that is usually over 200years and the new part. You were never privileged to have the old, you can never appreciate such an artifact. It is like asking a toddler what he thinks about Mona Lisa painting when he can easily play with his leggo.

ngozievergreen: As far as they are more presentable than yorubaland.
Is there any part of Yoruba land that can match the greatness of Onitsha?
No
Onitsha looks more like a city than all ur towns.
Even what you typed caused a landslide in nnewi, tsunami on Onitsha and earthquake in Aba.

If the cesspit, next to hell is your dream slum, you are entitled to your dream. May God help you and your ignorance.

I don't see it as bashing and it's more of an intellectual stuff, subjecting our hearsays, stories told and what we have read into empirical analysis and scrutinization of facts. It is a way of making each other to know, respect begats respect.

Ohh in your hamlets, once the stret is named after you, you own the land?

That is where your nature of greed and covetousness becomes obvious to others. No wonder the SS people, your close door Neighbours, detest you.

By your analysis, are the British or Hausas or ibibio or ogoni or ikwerre or baribas or kanuris claiming lagos.

What is the proportion of the streets named after ibos to Yorubas.

That clearly shows how accommodating we are and how unfriendly and hostile you are to investors and strangers on your land.

Port harcourt people changed the names of their areas over night, we can change ours within minutes. Let that sink.

FreeGlobe: But you will never find Awolowo rd in the entire SE (Tufiakwa), or kehinde street, olaitan, etc just any Yoruba bearing name unlike for igbo bearing streets and roads in SW
That shows 3 things.

1. You are not accommodating
2. Your land is not a greener pasture for all because I can't see danjuma stret or bakos or mbuk or ekaette or usim or barine streets either.
3. Yorubas are not a race of wanderers like Cain. We are sedentary. That is while we built towns that are over 500years old when yours were building hamlets with palm fronds in the name of republican tendencies. Always be grateful to the British.

Abagworo: Please don't in the process of arguing blindly give Ikwerres bad name. Oyigbo/Obigbo has nothing or whatsoever to do with Ikwerre. Ikwerre stops at Iriebe. Oyigbo is Asa/Ndoki which is an extension of Ukwa in Abia State. The township encroaches into Etche around Umuebulu axis. Ikwerres have never annexed or seized anybody's property but propagandists are bent on damaging Ikwerre name. Those properties at old Port Harcourt were seized by Okrika people while the names Igbos claim were changed in Ikwerreland were in reality a correction from generalized Igbo to precise dialects similar to correcting Obinna to Ovunda.
Thanks for your correction.

The ibos should go and collect the property back from okrika people then.

The bottom line is Oyigbo was changed to from obigbo and it was changed as a result of obigbo being a booty of war of the whatever group that changed it.

I know umuebule and Oyigbo very well. There is still that bitterness in the heart of igbos against whoever annexed and renamed Oyigbo rumuola, rumukwurushi, rumuorlu, rumuibekwe as against the umus.

That is an artifact that is over 500years old. That shows how cosmopolitan and egalitarian our society before the British came.

Those roofs cannot be changed, because they are tourist attractions that says a lot about us and our evolution.

If you don like omo onile or agbero, leave our land. That is what we want and so shall it be. At least they are working and not taking to crime.

You are just a confirmed olodo. For your education for the umpteen time, Nigeria has 36states and FCT has it's federation. The FCT was moved away from lagos over 20years ago to Abuja and we did not beg the British to move it from Calabar to lagos. It was done against our consent. Just like naija was forced down everybodys throat.

Therefore, lagos is lagos state, the 6th state owned developed and being ruled by the ever progressive Yorubas.

Pay our tax and live in peace, go against it and you will see fire and brimstone.

You made more mouth on Ladipo and Alaba markets, who begged after closing it down. Your governors had to come to the throne of grace to beg on your behalf. We were not even ready to listen to the illetrates you have in those markets. That shows you who owns the land.

We can wake up tomorrow and demolish Ladipo Alaba Aspamda etc nothing will happen.

By the way, we heard the ikwerres are already expanding Oyigbo far beyond into Abia. They will soon annex Aba again.

New York[RR] Nigeria–Reports reaching
our information desk says that late Chief
Obafemi Awolowo committed Suicide just
as he was about to celebrate his golden
jubilee.
According to sources, then Action Group
[AG] heavyweight, late Chief Obafemi
Awolowo learned of a possibility of
military court martial against an
insurrection he was engineering alongside
his political associates when he realized
that Ibrahim Babangida wanted to
become a life military president in
Nigeria-state.
This is breaking News… RR is investigating
this report…stand-by…
Read additional reports on this bombshell
revelation on Awo’s suicide mission,
including truths, lies and secrecy
surrounding it, written by Abdulmunini
Adeku at NigerianFinancialtimes:
Twenty –three years after he suddenly
was reported dead of natural cause and
two years shy of his golden jubilee , facts
are now emerging on the reasons that led
to First and Second Republic political
heavyweight ,Late Chief Obafemi
Awolowo committing suicide.
It was learned that he did it to stem the
tide of a possible military court martial
into an insurrection he was planning to
lead alongside his political associates at
the time when it became evident that
then Military President ,General Ibrahim
Babangida was intending staying in power
forever.
In a no-hold barred interview with FS
Online recently,a grass root politician ,Mr
Adebayo Adeyinka who lives within the
College Road at Ifako-Ijaiye axis in
Ogba ,a suburb of Lagos, Nigeria was livid
with rage when he learned that a key
politician connected to the issue was
denying the incident.
He revealed that Chief Awolowo wanted
to lead some kind of guerilla warfare or
militant campaign against the government
of President Babangida so that he can be
overthrown through a popular or people -
led putsch.
According to him , the Elder Statesman
summoned a meeting of his core loyalists
over the issue and this was even filmed
so as to strengthen the extent of
commitment of each of the politician that
attended the meeting,
He pointed out that however unknown to
all of those who were privy to this
meeting and clarion call , Chief Lateef
Kayode Jakande ,Former Executive
Governor of Lagos State had a different
plan as he betrayed them to the military .
He Said:’ But unknown to them , Chief
Jakande was planning to betray them, he
went to President Ibrahim Babangida and
promptly showed him the tape
“Papa Awolowo was invited for a meeting
with President Ibrahim Babangida who
was then staying at Dodan Barracks which
was the seat of power as at then and the
truth of his clandestine meetings was
revealed to him by the gap –toothed
General
“He gave Papa some options and that was
for him to be ready to face a court
martial , be ready to go to a prison or
better still go on exile
“At this stage Papa felt instead of
allowing some ambitious khaki boy to
mess him up he should just pack it in and
call it a day ,so Chief Awolowo decide to
commit suicide so as to save himself from
the ignominy of going to prison for the
second time in his lifetime .
“But before he did this he called his core
loyalists for a meeting ,before then he
had called up Late Chief Bola Ige [Cicero]
,since the latter had a very strong
understanding of the Hausa Language
having had his formative years as a young
man in Kaduna but discovered that the
late Esa-Oke strongman was innocent
after he was interrogated by Papa
“He called others for enquiries while
asking them to tender the video
cassettes of the meeting they all
attended to discuss the plans to topple
President Babangida for examination ,at
this juncture Chief Jakande developed a
cold feet as he could not produce his own
copy of the video which was freely
distributed to all that was present at the
meeting previously before the betrayal
and that was how the cat was let out of
the bag
“So he cursed him at this point and
pointed out that he will never have any
form of relevance politically as far as
Nigeria was concerned and till today
members of the Awolowo Dynasty avoids
him like a plague.
“I was their when the letter he wrote to
the family to beg them for forgiveness
over the unfortunate incident was read in
the presence of all present ,if he
continues to deny I am ready to confront
him publicly again on the same issue as I
can even remember that elders asked
him to go to the grave of the late sage to
plead for forgiveness
“When he was questioned he lied that
the National Security Organization now
State Security Services had visited his
house to check on him and in the process
took the tape in question but” Awoists”
knew that this was a very weak argument
as he did not inform their political group
of this development before their enquiry
on the subject
“That was how Senator Abraham
Adesanya assumed the leadership of the
Awolowo camp of Yoruba politics after the
demise of the man ,he was not even so
close to Awolowo during his lifetime like
Chief Jakande and that was why many
called him Baba Kekere on account of this
cosy relationship
“Before he gave up the ghost , he said his
prayers and then took the poison which
killed him almost immediately but the
public was not fully aware as they were
given a different account of what
happened.
“We were simply told that he died while
he was brushing his teeth in his bathroom
at his Park Lane,Apapa residence here in
Lagos
“He was stupendously wealthy during his
lifetime, infact there is know company at
Oba Akran in Ikeja ,Lagos where he does
not have at least a five percent equity,
Dideolu Court in Ogba alone cannot be
valued at less than N10 Billion ,that was
the place that he had in mind to be his
Seat of power if he was elected as
Nigeria’s President.
‘He owned Shonibare Estate but the man
he was using as a front and who later
went to prison over some issues which
Awolowo himself was privy to eventually
laid claim to the estate.
“He got all of this wealth due to a great
measure of goodwill and tax waivers he
gave to investors whenever they come to
establish their business.
“Anytime you buy a bottle of Coca-Cola
you are enriching the Awolowo
Dynasty ,go to Ijebu Ikenne and you will
discover that the price of a bag cement
there is different from other parts of the
nation due to the subsidy that the
citizens enjoy on account of Awolowo who
was their son and I hope you know that
West African Portland Cement is in
Ewekoro and not Ikenne.
“On account of this great betrayal
Awolowo family members regard the
“Awoist” as a group people should deal
with using a long spoon till this day and
this explains why when The Peoples
Democratic Party Government gave some
of them political appointment lately they
accepted it without thinking twice.
“Dr Tokunbo Awolowo-Dosunmu was
made an Ambassador by Former
President Olusegun Obasanjo while , Mr
Segun Awolowo Jnr was given a plum job
at the Federal Capital Territory in Abuja as
a Secretary.
“Recently when Afenifere was
disintegrating Mama out of concern for
her husband’s legacies decided to call a
truce because as she puts it then, she did
not know what she was going to tell her
husband the day they meet in heaven
“He made Sijuwade rich , because he was
his business associate and in fact some of
us held very strong views that he was
one of his fronts and later the same man
became the Ooni of Ife”he added
Mr Adebayo Adeyinka recalled his several
years of following grass root politics right
from the days of Action Group to the
Unity Party of Nigerian era in the second
republic but now lamented that he had
since lost all interest in partisan politics
due to the massive corruption in our
polity.
He listed such blue chips like Dunlop
Nigeria Plc ,Guinness Nigeria Plc, Neimeth
Pharmaceutical Nigeria Plc ,May and
Baker Nigeria Plc ,Vitafoam Nigeria
Plc ,Wahum Nigeria Limited ,CAP Nigeria
Plc , International Paints of West Africa
[IPWA], Berger Paints Nigeria Plc ,Berec
Nigeria Limited ,Kabelmetal, Nigeria
Bottling Company Plc ,Leventis Nigera
Plc ,West African Portland Cement
Company,[Lafarge ],Wema Bank Nigeria
Plc, Scoa Nigeria Plc ,CFAO Nigeria Plc,
Cadbury Nigeria Plc ,Wemaboard Estates,
Odu’A Group, Livestock Feeds Nigeria
Plc , Nigerian Breweries Plc as places the
Awolowo family have commercial interest
to mention just a few.
Apart from this stocks analysts believe
that the most visible of his
investment ,The Nigerian Tribune
Newspapers cannot be valued at less than
N100billion today in terms of brand
evaluation as Thisday Newspapers was
valued by the Owner ,.Mr Nduka
Obaigbena at N200 Billion recently during
a media chart while celebrating his fiftieth
birthday sometimes last year.
Late Chief Obafemi Awolowo was a
leader who believed that the state should
channel Nigeria’s resources into education
and state –led infrastructural
development.
At his own expense albeit
controversially ,he introduced the free
primary education for all of the Western
Region ,he equally established the first
television service in Africa in 1959 and
expanded electrification projects in the
region using the proceeds from the highly
lucrative Cocoa export industry.
The Cocoa House in Ibadan regarded by
many as one of the major landmarks of
Nigeria’s architectural history was built as
a result of his economic blueprint which
was targeted towards the emancipation of
his people from poverty
He built the first stadium in West Africa ,
the Liberty Stadium ,Ibadan and he
coined the name “Naira “for Nigeria’s
official currency ,it was previously called
Nigerian Pounds.
During the 1970’s ,he was very critical of
Nigeria’s military expenditure insisting
that more should be spent on
development
He ran a free health care programme for
children up till the age of eighteen years .
On his death on the 9th of May,1987 as a
mark of respect for his legacies ,The
University Of Ile-Ife which ironically he
helped to build as Premier of the Old
Western Nigeria was re-named in his
honour as part of a post humous
celebration of his life and times.
His portraits adorn public places in Nigeria
especially in his native Yoruba land where
he is seen as an icon.
His picture also adorn Nigeria’s one
hundred naira note.
He has been described surprisingly by
some of his greatest critics and even
political opponents as probably the Best
President Nigeria never had.
He struck a chord with the womenfolk
during his lifetime when in a rare show of
public affection for his wife of several
years, Chief Mrs Hannah Dideolu
Awolowo told the world that the woman
was his jewel of inestimable value.
How right or prophetic he was because
his wife has continued to strengthen the
mileage of the husband’s name even in
death.
During an exclusive interview with FS
Online at his Ilupeju home in Lagos last
year, Chief Lateef Jakande upon being
probed with questions over his
relationship with Late Chief Obafemi
Awolowo on account of what feelers were
suggesting had denied that they had a bad
relationship shortly before his death.
He insisted that those that said that they
had any problems between them prior to
Chief Awolowo’s death were not been
honest as they were all telling lies. http://

Another of Ibos propaganda.

Awo at 70 is expected to lead insurrection. The last time I checked, shekarau too is 70, tompolo is 70 and dokubo too is 70.

Referenced a book that states that Awo died by committing suicide. I can't but continue to wonder the kind of schooling you receive in the SE.

The story has never been bought and it will never be bought. The same IBB has visited mama HID numerous times and you are here running from pillar to post with lies.

Awo was, is and will forever be great her than the combo of achebe+zik+zik, in achievements, fulfillment and even in death.
