it seems that my igbo brothers are still playing the politics of nepotism and tribalism. Please wake up guys from ur slumber. No wonder no igbo man has assumed the office of the presidency. While the rest of the country has moved on. You are so stuck to the past. Sowi fellas, unless una change una myopic and retgrossive mindset, dat aso rock will remain just a pipe dream for u. D worst is dis senseless hostilities to any igbo man who has a diffrent opinion from d general notion. O di kwa ra unu egwu!

As a matter of serious conversation, shouldn't your first instinct be to answer to the substantive question about projects that Yorubas have embarked on and succeeded in Nigeria and out of the confidence that you derived from having responded properly to the inquiry at hand you can then proceed to asking any questions that you dim necessary. Your failure toaddress the question at hand before asking your question indicates that you are not a serious interlocutor like Ayo and I say that for the records.Notwithstanding your inability to rescue Ayo from his self-inflicted wound, again typical of a Yoruba man, I will not hesitate to take you to school if you chose to be babysitted for the record, although I will be repeating myself. Now in respect to your specificquestion, what Igbo built that Yoruba destroyed, in a nutshell almost every institution that the white man handed over to Nigeria after our independence Igbos built but because of your sophomoric question I will endeavor to break down what I mean for you

oga which statistics, abeg show me .. . It's very obvious, don't be biarse, the problem with you guys is that you don't want to accept the real fact, you want to rule over everything... I don't want to go into any tribal e-war with anyone.. To you Igbos are more educated, to me yorubas are and all I'm interested in is our unity. .. #repping yorubas till my last breath

. Nigerian railway was built and managed under Igbo minister Dr. Onyiuke and Igbos ran most of the day to day operations and the railway worked, when Yorubas took over the railway after the war they destroyed it. Igbos ran the military and brought prestige to the Nigerian military because of the caliber of Igbos that joined the military and the military worked then, look at what the military has become. You can mention any ministry before the war that worked and you will see the hands of Igbo in it.During the British/Biafran war Igbos invented one of the most deadly explosives (IEDs-Ogbunigwe)the world have ever known in the 1960s, the Igbos built armored cars, air missiles, assault rifles, gun boats, rocket launcher, rocket propelled grenades and ambulance vehicles. Igbos not only built underground refineries they also built mobile refineries as they lost territories to the federal troops.


After the war Awo and his tribal cabal representing the Yoruba conspired and went on a search and destroy mission and methodically combed all the south east and blew up and destroyed all thefactories that Igbo built instead of moving the factories and the Igbo scientists to a federally controlled areaand using their ingenuity to the benefitof the whole nation. For your information ask America and Russia what they did with German engineers after world war 11.


Today Nigeria is importing all these military equipments. That is destruction of what Igbos built. In 1972, Professor A. N. Njoku-Obi produced an anti-cholera vaccine recognized by the world health community, Yoruba elites who were running the Nigeria bureaucracy after the war did not want to hear of it, they undermined that project and today Nigeria is importing those drugs instead of being the manufacturer and exporter. That is destruction my friends. In 1974 two years after an Igbo invented the cholera vaccine, Professor F. A. Udekwu and his colleagues performedthe first ever open-heart surgery in Nigeria and Black Africa, did you think that Yoruba elites wanted to hear that, of course not, if I did not tell you now, would you know? Hell no! Today, forty years later Nigerians are going oversees for their heart surgery payinghard currency. That is destruction of Nigerian economy


. In 1999 after Obasanjo took office, he destroyed every Igbo business that was importing Rice and Cement into Nigeria before he came into office by granting an unprecedented and probably the biggest sole monopoly ofthe importation of rice and cement to one man called Dangote who became a billionaire overnight. When Igbos where involved in the importation of these items like cement, the price of cement was around N300, now the price of cement is hovering around N1,500 a bag. Go figure that, that is destruction of not only Igbos businesses but Nigeria in general. After Dangote was grant the sole monopoly of importing cement, he complained to Obasanjo that Ibeto cement industry owned by an Igbo which was mostly a repackaging factory was creating an undue competition for his monopoly and overnight Obasanjo used an executive order to shutdown Ibeto cement factory with its 400 employees. My friend that is destruction by any standard. Savannah Bank was established by Jim Nwobodo an Igbo man, Obasanjo closed down that bank and rendered all the employees jobless because he had some disagreements with Nwobodo not because the bank went bankrupt, not because the bank was running a fraudulent scheme, not because the bank was being mismanaged but because Obasanjo like most Yorubas have this visceral hate, wickedness, jealousy and the type of indifference that says why did God create an Igbo in the first place. Again Kunle that is destruction of a unique type. Engineer Ezekiel Izuogo created the V600 car and Yoruba press, politicians, lawyers even Yoruba engineers attacked him mercilessly and frustrated his effort to build the factory in Igbo land, that is one, second when he decided to build the factory in South Africa during Obasanjo’s regime, Obasanjo and his co-haters went and stole everything, the design manual, the engine block, everything necessary for him to carry on his work thereby destroying Izuogo motors for good. Kunle do you still need more examples? Wait I told Ayo that I have more than most of you could imagine. Do you remember Niger Dock Apapa, Dr. Nnamdi Ozobia, an Igbo built it, he built yachts for individuals and ferry boats for Lagos State that plied between Apapa to Mile2. He also did repairs for foreign ships that paid Nigeria hard currency, well here we go again, when Obasanjo came into office he removed Dr. Ozobia in the most ignominious way a pattern for Obasanjo and handed over Niger Dock Apapa to Yorubas. Today Niger Dock Apapa is in ruins, a shadow of its old self. That is destruction of what Igbos built. You have Nigerian Ports Authority, NigerianAirways, you have NITEL that Yorubas burnt down after they ruined it throughembezzlement. Lest I forget what about the mother of all destruction, theindigenization decree of 1972. What the decree did was to hand over Nigerian economy to the Yorubas and they destroyed the economy. The list below is a partial list of mostly British and other foreign owned companies that Igbos were efficiently managing before the war, few of these companies were owned or partial owned by Yoruba.


Some Yorubas in the past have quibbled about preciselywho owned what but not on the point of whether Yorubas ruined all the companies that they acquired by the force of the indigenization decree. My response is that the issue has never been about who owned what, the substantive issue was and is that Yorubas ruined, defrauded, liquidated and destroyed all the companies they took over after the war regardless of who owned them before the war even including their own companies that they started but could not manage. For your information that single act of indigenization decree is largely responsible for our economic state of affair.“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 Nigeria Plc ,West African Portland Cement Company,[Lafarge],Wema Bank Nigeria Plc, Scoa Nigeria Plc ,CFAO Nigeria Plc, Cadbury Nigeria Plc, Wemaboard Estates, Odua Group, Livestock Feeds Nigeria Plc , Nigerian Breweries Plc, new nigerian Bank, Batta, Kingsway Stores, Crittal Hope (Nigeria) Limited, Mushin, Lagos State.Dunlop (Nig.)

Sammyblake:
statistics of jamb and waec alone cannot determine the most educated, and even the jamb and waec you're taking about,almost half of them use runz pass, until you show me a reasonable evidence that Igbos are more educated than yorubas you have no point #

I am done with you..runs or walk the statistics are there

Alcatraz001:
I forget to address the earlier parts of your post.All the accomplishment of the ibos are very laudable but me as a yoruba man am not Perturbed because we have gone too far my brother.We are just resting now,we thank God for Papa Awolowo,may God bless his soul.

You mentioned linda ikeji's blog,Nairaland that you are typing on aand which is the largest forum in Africa na Ibo man get am?

Pride goes before a fall.

God bless you.

Ok after Nairaland what next ..oh I forgot Nigerian village square I forget wakanow

Now tell me apart from Nairaland

Oh you are resting ..lol ..from what ..is it from ruining our economy with dubious indigenization decree or killing our airways

Alcatraz001:
Me no dey fight you,I just tell you the fact on ground.Its an unwritten Law in our constitution,Ibos can't be President.

God Bless Nigeria.

Ok let's see who will fare better and how many times have Yoruba ruled rather than slavishly following north

Sammyblake:
oga which statistics, abeg show me .. . It's very obvious, don't be biarse, the problem with you guys is that you don't want to accept the real fact, you want to rule over everything... I don't want to go into any tribal e-war with anyone.. To you Igbos are more educated, to me yorubas are and all I'm interested in is our unity. .. #repping yorubas till my last breath

Go check waec neco jamb etc..I won't teach you basic research methodology.. hope you are educated ....maybe ask Google or check here at Nairaland out ..use the search engine



Igbo presently are the most educated tribe anambra and IMO top the list ..this has been the trend last ten years

BuddahMonk:
Oga 95% of them bleach, what are you telling me.
I know them wela wela and so don't school me, a yolobawoman who is not bleaching have not gotten the money to buy creams but to them all nurture the thought. Its normal to them

I still disagree..

BuddahMonk:
Ikwerreboy howfar?

No mind am

HopeAtHand:
Rubbish.

You talk about business model like you know anything..all you know is buying and selling spare parts in Ikoku market.

If you increase the cost of your goods, i can always go to the next shop and purchase, better still igo to Aba to purchase.

That is the common sense you don't have ...oh I will pay different tax the dude next shop will pay different tax..that means somebody is missing something

Ok then look at your flawed reasoning ..you will still include and incur another cost to travel to aba if tax is increased.

You see how you reason

Beside that why should I teach a lay about lazy ikwerre man the basics business

Sammyblake:
The facts: The Igbos and the Yorubas seem to have the greatest rivalry. The British colonialists described the Hausa/Fulani as similar to the Arabs, the Yorubas as the English men of Africa and the Igbos as the Jews of Africa.

According to historical facts, people from the Yoruba tribe are the most educated followed by the Igbos.
Igbo people on the other hands are the most innovative, go to Alaba International market in Lagos, these smart Igbo boys will make anything you want… They utilize their creative thinking to turn things around.

People from the Hausa tribe are into agriculture and farming, Aliko Dangote, the richest man in Africa is an Hausa man from Kano.

That was then

Igbo are the most educated tribe

Check statistics

Everyday in NL you must see Igbo this Igbo that ...you guys are maiking us rock stars ..why is it that other tribes are not talked about....well I think if your not talked about your not important

efedavies:
this guy is not an ibo man so u all should stop this ibo claiming glory scheme u are potraying

He is from mars or Uranus maybe Jupiter

So you want to rub him his heritage

These are stories that young Igbo men will use as a role model

[quote author=iluvpomo post=29802111][/quote]So you took time and analysed this ...I am sorry

But the fact is that why is it that you are stuck with us and yet not comfortable

This is what is called a quagmire

BuddahMonk:
Seriously without Igbo president and Anambra have the least poverty rate instead of Kano, Sokoto, Ogun or Bayelsa.

Even without Igbo presidency and Abia see more economic activities than Oyo and Kastina State, all the beggars in Ibadan that surpass the population of Libya are those shanting we rule you.

Without Igbo president all the touts in major markets in Lagos prostrate to Igbo importers to feed their families instead of the other way round, those shoemakers, those water fetchers, refuse disposal guys, mobile tailors, et al have been ruling us since 1960 but their lives are yet to be improved upon.
Those that are voting by the dangling odourless fufu and parboiled rice are those who are suppose to be ahead of their peers in all ramifications...

Pls fix your households first,

So you can see presidency has been a curse to the regions producing them ..when you look at north tissue you cry then head to owo the obasanjo village and weep ..then head to Okitipupa and ilesan

Then the way oil made the south south to suffer what is called Dutch disease ..how the oil is worthless we can see how useless they are ..

I pray oil goes as low as $10 a barrel so let's see the mist invented and ingenious tribe

Thank lord I am pure Igbo

Alcatraz001:
Mr OP,to answer your question, the ibos will NEVER be President of Nigeria because you have burned your only bridge to that office within just 4 years of the Jonathan Presidency.

The Yorubas were genuine friends but you have radicalized them to be Bigots like you too hence I will implore all ibos to forget the idea of Presidency and focus on your Spare parts business.

God bless you all. Mr OP,to answer your question, the ibos will NEVER be President of Nigeria because you have burned your only bridge to that office within just 4 years of the Jonathan Presidency.

God bless you all.

Oh but one thing you should know is that Yoruba can't be president again without Igbo

Secondly we are spare parts business yet we are running ICT firms from zinox to car manufacture like innosson and Coscharis is opening one soon to hospitality and medicals

Oh you think we are into spare parts then forgetting media hoses like sun news the biggest selling newspaper to biggest online site Linda ikeji and Bella Naija oh you forgot nollywood

Oh you forgot maritime .just go to Apapa and tin can and see yourself

Oh what about education ..thank Lord for statistics on jamb and nysc

We ain't started yet

We just want economic domination ..then we can call the shots .. that's it

Keep the presidency while Yoruba keep the touting


O

kennysbst:
I hope u must av confirmed that.but mind you that yoruba man called ADEBAYO OGUNLESI is not just the owner of Gatwick Airport which happen to be second largest airport in whole of London alone but the 7th most powerful black man on earth. I can still grant u a link if u requested.

I have many of yoruba men,Whom are still rocking and breaking all time records if u care to know.

Ok Sir ...noted ..then next ....

This is not a dick measuring contest

BuddahMonk:
Pls anybody with a clue about this question because when I was in Lagos virtually all the yolobawomen I met were into skin toning.
Even here in Onicha all the agbosellers and tailors are all following the same trend, now I have relocated to Ihiala and the story is always the same, once you met them you don't need a prophet to tell you she a yolobawoman.

What are they trying to achieve and who are trying to look like by using chemicals to cause themselves embarrassment in looking good?

Yes they might bleach but not all so do not make hasty generalizations

HopeAtHand:
Buddahmonk so Yorubas are your latest problem and no longer Ikwerres..nice!

While you are pondering the answers to your question, tell your cousin who owns countless fleets of tippers and tankers and lorries in Port Harcourt that if he must drive them thru an inch of Ikwerreland, he Should prepare to pay 'new improved' ticket permits and levies and watever Ikwerres demand from him in PH and as regularly as we demand it.

Failure to comply will result in our confiscation of those Vehicles as we did to your houses sometime ago..do not say i didnt warn you so you dont go about whining like your grannies did when they forfeited their houses.

If you like call tonychristopher and oneeast and others to complain.Kachifu

Lazy ikwerre man..get off my mention pls ..they can payticket money aand that will be transfered to rivers residents in terms of high cost of product and service delivery

Oh have you forgotten domino or spiral effects in economics

Its boils down to your people still paying higher for the services

Oh I forgot you lack the nuances and finesse in an advance business model

I have looked at the tribes that produced presidents and I have noticed the level of complacency amongst them ..with all the years north rule look at north today ..look at Ibadan then the stomach infrastructure...

I think if presidency will make Igbo complacent and dependent on governments to spoon feed them..then I think we do not need it

We need economic emancipation.. we need economic domination.. we need to have the economy in our hands ..that I think we are achieving so

Keep the leadership it aint worth it

Am so much sorry for you.I can feel ur pain even right here.but come to think of it,if the woman u so called fuckkked hard is frm ur tribe or better still ur mum.how on earth will u be?

Ok carry go

kennysbst:
It so easy. Jst go to google type world sexiest language

On google type adebayo ogunlesi and confirm it ownership of Gatwick airport in london,like wise Fummilayo alakija as world rishest woman and so on.no one can jst come online and started kidding us without a fact.

We yorubas are great administrator,capitalist,engineers,professors etc u name any positive things and we are well represented.

We yoruba are too cool headed,one can hardly predicted.we have numerous billionaires which maintain low keys and for sure if not for press no one could have ever heard of Mike Adenuga.

Airport kwa.. maybe you land there freely without paying air ticket

Alakija is a bottom asss power we all know that

A seamstress that became a mistress then an oil baroness

I think I prefer Oprah Winfrey she worked hard
Alakija fuckkked hard

Don't you think

Yoruba prove your brother wrong

My country people what is the benefit of a building when nobody is living in it?

What am saying is if 50 children out of the 2000 people killed in Baga are destined to go to dis self contain university..what is the benefit?

What is the benefit of planting your crops on a pest infested ground? Do you know how much is budgeted for dis project and how much is actually spent in executing it?

I don't blame most of dis saTANist..naah..none of your family members got caught in dis 6 years Bombing parade.. So u can be easily tempted by self contained schools..

Ever wonder why his children don't attend dis Red brick schools? Oh you are just thinking about it...

The whole world is watching..we know the truth..my friend was cut short last year..and u are here telling me about school? You have not even eaten... We know the truth..after 6 years..no we cannot be deceived...

If they don't go to universities ..Igbo will simply occupy ...at least the school got to make money and people will need education

I am in my late 30s and i met the lady of my dreams early this year. The lady seemed to be into me, and then, the big question came. She asked for my age and then i told her. The moment i did, she freaked out.

She is in her late 20s and tolD me the age difference is too much for her to handle. I persuadeD her that it doesn't matter but she wasn't persuaded. As it were, I'm so worried cos i truly care about her.

Please advise me on how to win her heart. I'd appreciate mature response. Thank you.

Let her go

Most respected culture and tradition in Nigeria.without sentiment give to the Yorubas.u will always hear others tribes speaking the language with joy of expression frm them all, cos it very flexible jst like the English language.

No wonder yoruba language once came third in world sexiest language raking.u can still google it.
Have always been seeing white people speaking only yoruba language excellently and some things I ask myself why only yoruba language among the rest.

Yorubas is the only cultural group that rock overseas with his local songs and white dance to it without any English words in most songs.
Check the yorubas highlive musicians performances on stage starting frm King sunny Ade,rolling Dollar,Pasuma wonder,salawa Abeni,Osupa,and rest of Fuji artists and not forgetting Lagbaja.

I once heard a foreigner on Air that say they do pay much to study how to speak yoruba language in abroad cos once u can speak it you are like a God to them starting frm Brazil,Argentina,Cuba, Venezuela and mostly all southern American countries.yorubas culture and traditions are widely practise.

Yorubas are so much loved with their cultural preservation,starting frm their unique dressing,talking drums,Songs,proverbs etc

No wonder we are envy!
Am proud to be a yoruba Boy.

Hmmm that's a new one
