[size=16pt]We yorubas have brains and we use it unlike some bigoted animals from the east.

If anybody called militant tries to blow up oil installation in Lagos or Osogbo, let the military be deployed. Its for the good of the nation as a whole.

Stewpid people want electricity yet they are supporting militant to blow up pipe. Useless tribessss.

Yes Ondo is Yoruba land. We Yorubas support the deployment of soldiers there to protect oil installations.

Militant must no longer hold the whole country into ransom. Never again

Am not really good at writing story my sh*t is go straight to the point.
If you attend university and you are calling the present Nigeria president dull than you need to examine your brain cos Nigeria president is secretly planning something massive for you Nigerians but am surprise people are not seeing it, I'm a student of business management chicago, though the 1st quarter will not be funny at all but I bet u if only Nigerians can support their president and bear with him your country will be among the greatest in the world. I like Nigerian cos I do have them as friends back home and most of them are good people.
What am I talking about. The problem of your country is dollar and the greatest problem is importation of goods. Stop importation of goods and spend your naira within your country...just wait for 1 and half year and your problem is solve. "study the development and behaviour of china" that's the secret behind your president plan

Jobless? This guys are majority middle class and upper class of eko population. They are not civil servants or paid workers.They generally live mostly in their built houses. But wait, the first time i passed through the neigbourhood of alaba market which streaches upto one km by the left, i thought I was in the middle of onitsha because of the style of buildings which are between two to four storey apartment buildings. I was later told that the whole of that land used to be marshy and waterlogged before the whole yoruba community sold it to the igbos. The whole of the streets bears igbo name and i doubt if there is any non igbo in that place. I was really shock on why our host should be selling their land indescrimately and also why the igbos are so forceful in buying anything to the envy of their host. This guys can feed your whole generation.

Know2020:
One of many reasons I want out of Nigeria is to sever contact with little twits like you with zero IQ that constitute a great nuisance to the productivity of humanity.

Know2020:
I'm trying to reason with you...you little twit, do you expect Biafrans to leave and abandon their properties for you when Biafra is restored?

Twistaray:
Now this is getting more interesting.
Like seriously dude, are a kid ni

Quit assuming it's all in your head no body is interested in fake-products, baby factory money...

We simply, or rather supporting your mass exodus to alaigbo!
Are you kidding me where did I mention @the bolded
Funny dude

Know2020:
Don't get what? What I don't get is why you are pouting on the expected exit of Biafrans from Nigeria to gobble up their properties unlawfully.

Know2020:
It's sheer indolence when you covet what rightfully belongs to others.

Know2020:
Not sure what you mean? You expect them to leave their properties and sweat for your lazy poo?

Know2020:
If Biafra is restored, Biafrans shall continue to own and acquire properties in Lagos and within Nigeria within the confines of international laws.

VickJames:
That is why I have problems with people on the internet. Watch the business segment on CNN and see what they always say at the beginning of the programme. the number of billionaires in the world are increasing but the number of people going down in the poverty lane is also increasing. which do you prefer:

one billionaire and many poverty stricken individuals or many millionaires and few poverty stricken individuals.

if you check very well, igbos have the fair share of billionaires in this country but without federal help or 1979 nigerianisation policy.

now tell me, who is fighting the good fight?

VickJames:
except you dont want to hear the truth, the east is still the only region who have billionaires without affiliation to oil or 1976 nigerianisation policy.

Check all the known markets and industries, you will the igbos thriving there and doing business. it is the igbos that do most of the travelling and bringing different forms of services and goods back to the country. it is the igbos that do most of the local production in this country, ( i am not saying other regions do nothing but igbos do more because they dont have any power up there).

VickJames:
People come into the social media without taking so much time to read the news and watch news stations like aljazeera and CNN to see what is happening in the world today but they love to engage in silly arguments with little or no gain.

If we analyse the country very well and check indices, the north does not have a future. How much can be generated in the north against their ever-growing population and high-level of domestic violence and terrorism. the breaking of this country will end the riches of the north and they will return to their counterparts, Niger Republic. How many billionaires does the north have compared to their number of dependent people. Why are northerners shouting agriculture as if they have better soil than tropical rainforest seen in the east and south south?

what natural resources do they have that will make the world want to invest in their region despite the know terrorism in the north. the north does not and i repeat does not have any resources that will make the world want to run to them except increased dependent population. the north doesnt have any close access to the sea and they dont have anything to compare with the southeast. apart from landmass, there is nothing you can plant in the north that cannot be grown in other parts of the country. so whats the fuss?

the southwest only have one saviour which is lagos. without lagos, ogun state will not be getting any form of investment from investors. so what are we saying. If there will be any mass exodus of people out of lagos to their different region, the death of lagos will be quick and fast because the southwesterners are known to be highly dependent on their government for anything and cannot do anything without money flowing from the government house. check their ministries and see how 10 people will be manning one particular position because they all want to eat from the government. If you have stayed in the southwest, you will know that the flow of currency goes down towards the middle of the month because many people have spent most of their monies in the beginning of the month and there is no purchasing power in the hands of the populace.

So, trying to insult other tribes thinking you are better is like you forgetting where you are coming from. the affluence of few cannot be used to judge the whole population of okada riders and shoe shiners in the different parts of the country. or are you trying to forget the number of water carriers in the different parts of the country?


the igbos are still the only tribe with more evenly spread wealth amongst its populace with little dependence on the government. they also constitute the highest number of people who get money from across the shores of this country. they are also known to be the people who introduced china, lebanese and some other investors to the nigerian market. they also constitute the highest number of non-oil based billionaires in this country. with the back drop of the civil war, they have emerged as one of the highest number of educated people in this country.


if you want to know more, check your different private schools and check the number of igbos who enrolled in those schools and check the number of other tribes there. the igbos just need to get their things together and you will see what will happen in the next 20years. its no boast.

Armaggedon:
so the Igbos are alayes, area boys, agberos and omoniles and opc?


we only go to lagos and you know it

the only place industralized in ogun is the shagamu axis which a spillover of lagos and is still considered lagos industrial zone

https://www.nairaland.com/2322312/ogun-state-nigerias-emerging-industrial





Well. Let me remind that before you were born lagos has and will always surpass the rest. Lagos is a border to to two on more country. It's quite the other way round. Iboes needs SW especially lagos than lagos need them. i have nothing against. I am aganst injustice in nigeria(though its now late)



Really? Worst? I belief aba,ebonyi state is a good example of leadership? Yeye dey smell! yes ebonyi never owed salaries despite its status. Abia had bad leadership who fail to put roads in order in aba but he is now gone. Nevertheless aba is bubbling with bussiness activities or can you tell me one city in the whole of south west aside lagos that is more industralized than aba?



Oh oh. How I hate lies.

The most impoverished? Ibooooooosss and lies.


United Nations' Multi Dimensional Poverty Index

The United Nations' Global Multi-Dimensional Poverty Index has three dimensions and 10 indicators in estimating Overall Poverty. Each dimension is equally weighted, each indicator within a dimension is also equally weighted, and added. It uses 10 indicators to measure poverty in three dimensions: Education, Health and Living standards. This report was Published in June 2015, and is based on data collected on years between 2004 and 2014.
According to the MPI Report, as at 2010, 46% of Nigerians lived below the national poverty line (Only 28% in Urban areas, and near 70% in The rural). Although a Report by the World bank, released in 2014, showed that only 33% of Nigerians could be considered Poor.

No wonder you people are know for everything fake in nigeria" winks stop showing stats. SW is a bastton of poverty and hunger. You showed us stats of osun being bigger than SE economy put together but when poo hit fan nema, winners chapel and caritas donated relief materials. Ibadan guys celebrated a new mall

Armaggedon:
its a lie. Lagos has the highest crime rate in nigeria and enugu has the lowest. Do you recall when apc protesters burnt luxury buses belonging to an igbo transporter earlier this year?

If peace is the factor why are other places in SW that are more peaceful than lagos still villages?

The truth is lagos enjoys special attention from fg govt starting from colonial times till now. Should the seaport in portharcourt or onitsha stop being a subject of politics, lagos will suffer. Which is why you guys hold on to one nigeria.

Coming to leadership sw has the worst in the country save fayose. Lagos has the largest dept profile despite huge revenue, what of osun? The leadership in the east is the most visionary but seems emasculated by fg's policies and u know that.

I also heard you mentioning disposable income in Sw. That is a height of delusion! Sw is the most impoverished region aside north. Why do you thing ibadan oshgbo abeokuta are slums while enugu onitsha aba owerri ph awka and asaba are bubbling?[/b]


as for dangote, we dont beg for his investment he knows that too. He also knows he would be outcompeted hence he conspired with obj to shut down ibeto plant in ph.

Like i said politics is the thing not your so called peace. Igboland is peaceful but nigeria is an igbophobic country

kstadaura:
Hausa being the most accomodating people in Nigeria followed by yoruba will they agree to stay as one nation should biafra succeed in becoming a country?

And what will happen to all those investments the igbo people have in the northern and western part of the country, will they continue to run their businesses or they will take them back to their region?

Nonybb:
Should I strangle this man and make 170 million Nigerians happy or should I leave him?

omonnakoda:
That is the funny thing about this folk they actually believe their bullshite.

That is how one of them said Orji Uzor Kalu is so rich the CBN begged, ,BEGGED him to take his money to the World Bank, another said that the US Army buys drones at Onitsha market

knowledgeable:
while all you simply could have done was to counter back all that my emotional stats with facts for the whole world to see what a chest beating ego trip I am period.

knowledgeable:
Yoruba man listen!!. "Igbos will eternally be ahead of you in most endeavors of life, because God and Nature ordained so". You yorubas know it, Hausa/Fulani know it, Igbos know it, and I from my global travels have come to know and understand it beyond doubt. It's self evident from Igbos wanting to secede while yorubas/hausa/fulani oppose, as the purest evidence to attest to that TRUTH. All those above contributions do not move any Igbo man a bit, simply because they don't reflect themselves in your per capital income or your real estate sub sector comparable with Igbo region. I have stated severally on this forum, the original reason Igbos started flooding down to lagos in recent times is rooted in yoruba envy of the nature of the Igbo man ( whose natural and measurable contributions to the Nation are unmatched by others) which manifested itself in the conspired/genocidal civil war against the Igbos as a means to express that envy Which led to wholesale marginalisation and under development of their infrastructures, sea ports airports and etc. Same thing is unfolding today as Igbos are once again ahead of you in most endeavors. So, mr. Yoruba man, you're contributions do NOT move any Igbo man a bit because, Igbos understand all what is all about period.
