Sanchez01:
Benin and Igbo Connection
Onitsha, Orisha
By PHILIP EMEAGWALI

Introduction:

I am a Yoruba by birth (born in Akure, western region) and Igbo by heritage. As a native Onitsha Igbo, I trace my ancestry to Eze Chima, a prince who rebelled against the Benin royal dynasty and emigrated from the kingdom. Other Igbos that trace their lineage to Eze Chima include Onicha-Ukwu, Onicha-Olona, Onicha-Ugbo, Obior, Issele-Ukwu, Issele-Mkpima, Issele-Azagba, Ezi, Abeh and Obamkpa.

Native Onitshans speak a dialect of the Igbo language with several Benin/Yoruba words such as "Obi" (of Onitsha) and "Oba" (of Benin). In fact, the word Onitsha (Onicha) is a corruption of the god "Orisha." The bini name for River Niger is Ohinmwin. The Onicha Igbo call it "Orinmili." In a few years, we will have DNA tests that proves (or disproves) the Onitsha-Benin-Yoruba connection.

In fact, a lost dialect of the Yoruba language, called Olukwumu, is spoken in Brazil and in a few Igbo communities named Anioma, Idumu-Ogu, Ubulubu, Ugboba, Ugbodu, and Ukwunzu (M. A. Onwuejeogwu, 1987 Ahiajoku Lecture). The absence Olukwumu in core Yoruba land proves that these communities are the Lost Yoruba Tribe that were fleeing from slave raiders.

He's right just like anambra is not part of iboland. Read the info above.

Hmmmm.

I guess maduka knows where the market,money is.


Loool. Maduka is what he's today all thanks to lagos,yoruba people.

nwabobo:
Go through the names of those companies again and each time you buy any medicine, look at the name of the manufacturer or owner.

Lonart - Greenlife
Artesunat - Neros
Procold, Boska, Delta soap - Orange Drugs
Emzor Paracetamol - Emzor

But why are you like this friend? Ain't we talking about tax and income here? There are countless of shops and businesses in Lagos own by foreigners, yorubas,housa too. We ain't here for that.

You said.. maduka tax developed lagos,i asked you,how consider the amount lagos generates and the amount it budget monthly..

I am tired of this back and forth argument.

What's your definition for development 'developed' anyway?

nwabobo:
Emzor pharmaceuticals
May & Baker Pharmaceuticals
Orange Drugs
Greenlife Pharmaceuticals
Neros Pharmaceuticals
Embassy Pharmaceuticals
Vixa Pharmaceuticals
Agary Pharmaceuticals
Clarion Medicals
Pemason Pharmaceuticals


These are just a few in one industry. Without the Igbos, Lagosians will be left with agbo.

These 2+2 shops? I thought we are talking about their tax income?
I hope you won't come up with your home made figures.

nwabobo:
[b]Mmaduka is just one out of millions of Igbos investing in Lagos[b] thereby not only paying taxes but also providing employment, paying 'owo da' and helping keep omo oniles off the streets.

Meanwhile, it's states that go looking for investors not the other way round so Lagos and Lagosians should be grateful to the likes of Mmaduka who have invested in the state.

Well, my brother so far we've seen just one ' maduke ' 'in that case let's leave those imaginary ones out of the discussion since they are yet to be proven or talked about.

Shall we? Or shall we focus on those imaginary ones at well with facts

Thanks

I disagree.

1. Because, Maduka only give back 10% of what Lagos gives him.
2. It takes one who receives to give back.
3. If he isn't getting something from Lagos he has nothing to offer or give back.
4. For maduka to pay such amount that means his business is dead without Lagos.
5. Lagos made him,developed him and not the other way round that's why he has to give back.
6. And last but not the least,N450 million tax money is not enough to develop Lagos,lagos generate far more than that and her budget is almost a trillion naira. Also, maduka and other ibo villagers should stop abusing the word ' developed ' nigeria neither lagos is developed.

Thank you.

Is that all?

If development is all about building 4-5 story building in iboland how come that region is underdeveloped? The picture below is a state in ibo land. Take a closer look at the picture with 4storey without form of economy activities, the youth sitting idle because there is no job, no company..

Nna bia, makawa make una go back to una village you can't give what we don't have, Nna gini

Make una free my guy, ikechukwu came to largoos to develop largoos.

Amazing, ha! Look at ikechkew hummar geep and mansion. Don't worry, na una get largos our ibo dilector and governooor akinwunmichdi will free ikechkwu his blolada from alambraa, abeg make una chill. Biko.
