And you talk like someone whose destiny was exchanged for a pot of foolishness. What is my business with FFK's investments, or Oyedepo, Adegboye or Ooni of Ife's investment in Ile Ife, Ede or Osun state.. do we come from the same area or region?

Even the Oyedepo you mentioned, has established a private university right inside his home town in Omu-aran. That facility is currently providing education for his people, employment for his kinsmen and even taxes for his state govt. Go and check.

Davido's father owns one of the largest universities worth billions of naira in his hometown called Ede. It is called Adeleke University. That establishment is contributing to the IGR of his state. Not only that, he is from the Southwest and his multimillion naira Omotosho Power Station is still located firmly within the same SW region, where he hails from.

FFK your new god in Igbo land is a loud mouthed, broke ass niggger, with nothing much to write home about. He is not rated as anything worthwhile, by his people in the SW. So why waste your breath on him?

Every Yoruba man that invests in Lagos, Ogun or any part of the Southwest, is still developing his own region. That is what you have failed to realise. All the name-calling in the world, would not change that fact.

But since you persist in calling Nigeria a zoo, you must be one of the animals living in it, because only animals refer to their homes as a zoo.

Finally, laying claim to another man's territory online, will not make it a reality, no matter how many times you dream about it. It only shows your shallow thinking and greed. So stop smoking that brand of weed, that made you call Lagos the 8th state of the Igbos. You have started hallucinating. It is bad for your health.

But why do you continue wailing, crying and lamenting over another man's territory? No matter how many tears you shed, Lagos will never be transported into the Southeast. The Nigerian map is very clear about the location of Lagos. It remains firmly in the SW. So wake up and smell the coffee. All the cut-and-paste comments from your Facebook followers, will not change that fact.

Now, start chanting again like a broken record, about how Lagos is a no man's land since it gives you a high. Shout it to the skies. If you do not do this 200,000 times every night, we all know it would not be well with you, since your market would not sell and your life will not become meaningful.

No matter how much you try to pretend that Lagos is not part of Yoruba land, observant people from the 250 other ethnic groups in Nigeria, including my own minority group, can see the truth you are trying to hide from, very clearly.

Oya start reciting your useless slogan about Lagos again, so that you can continue entertaining us with your cluelessness. Afterall, laughter is good for the soul! And comedians like you are only useful for one thing.....

Wrong! I congratulate the very brilliant genius and I wish him the best in life, see? I'm Yoruba and I know I'm speaking the mind of other south westerners, except those who have allowed your hatred to influence them. You see, the same reason why we have Fela, Lagbaja, Bobrisky, Awolowo, Madam Ransom Kuti, Yoruba Muslims, Adeboye, Olukoya, Oyedepo, Kumuyi, seun, etc is the same reason we don't rain on other people's parade, it's called security, self confidence, healthy self esteem which goes back into several generations. It frees you to express who you are, actualize yourself and stand on your beliefs without allowing other people's opinion and achievements to hold you back, It's that simple ingredients that makes us stand apart from you guys, the reason why you will always aspire to be like us, if we decide to abandon education today while you are just waking up to it, I can bet you you will try to emulate us in the future, we will always lead.

So who is holding you parasites back?

Arewa gave you quit notice you begged.

Yorubas don't give a fvck about you lots either.. But you still cry to Lagos for southern unity.

Tell your senators and house of reps members to man up and stop being cowards.. Your freedom with only 5 SE states will be swift

kn23h:
You're equating Yorubas to the Spain of Europe. You Ibos really see Yorubas as one powerful oppressor, yet you call yourself the smartest and rich tribe in Africa. You see yourself as a minority tribe besides Yorubas and Hausas.

God bless the Yoruba nation.

legitnow:
Lagos is a multi ethnic city u cannot force yoruba language on non yorubas.

ceaz4r:
Whoever wrote this tried, but this is not Nnamdi Kanu.

Few reasons:
1. Kanu will never betray his hiding place, were he hiding. More especially, he will never betray those who have given him sanctuary.

2. It is gross insincerity and insensitivity to say NOBODY died in that recent shameful act by the Nigerian Military in Abia State, because there was mass killing of unarmed civilians. So how would Kanu, (according to this write-up) say nobody was killed in the Operation Python Dance II?

2. The Boycott on Anambra state elections have not been called off. It is so ridiculous to even say he has a candidate he supports and wishes the said candidate to be given support.

3. The position of IPOB on any issue can be made public directly by Kanu or his deputy, Emma Powerful.

4. Members of Biafra Security Outfits are not armed.

Need I go on?

From a heartlsnd Yoruba Igbo blogger:

SO THE RUMOUR I HEARD IN THOSE DAYS AT THE UNI IS ACTUALLY TRUE!!!
THAT PA. OBAFEMI AWOLOWO (NEVER) COMMITTED A SUICIDE!!!

PA AWO OJUKWU PLANNED A GUERRILLAS WARFARE AGAINST THE THEN MILITARY REGIME
BUT PAPA JAKANDE WENT AND EXPOSED HIM WITH AN EVIDENCE. (TOO BAD)...

WELL AS I SAID HERE B4, AND ALL HELL BROKE LOOSE; I WILL SAY IT AGAIN.
ECHOING PAPA OGUNDE PHILOSOPHICAL WORDS

YORUBA RONU!!! LET US BE ONE AND SOLID
HAPPY NEW YEAR IN ADVANCE.

Great man ko Greta Gabo nii. Great men don't go about starving innocent children and giving people £20.

9jaDoc:
What a back-handed way to save somebody - blockade them and give innocent children kwashiokor.

VillageWinch:
Can u read English? He said that was people's PERCEPTION of what Awo said.
Here are the words again. Try to actually read them:

It was everybody's perception of what Awo said including the media, the man on the streets, AG activists, and even foreign governments. They all took it that Awo meant "If Biafra was forced to ANNOUNCE secession the West would automatically become independent". Everybody ignored the "allowed" they also ignored he said actual secession not just announcement of it.

months:
All me am saying is that the language should be compulsory for Yorubas only.

Ijaw, Igbo and Hausa children should not be compelled to learn Yoruba.

This is my major concern, rather give our children French.

At the end of the day let us see who benefit most.

arabianwarlord:
Lol, no didnt mean it like that... ok, sorry dear

tinsel:
Op and you don't know igbo language is also compulsory in the east from primary one to js three?

arabianwarlord:
Will do 3M ma

arabianwarlord:
Still on...

WetinConsignMe:
At the bolded. Ojukwu's hope was that his friend (as he thought) Awo and Banjo backed by the troops would CONVINCE the West to secede

WetinConsignMe:
It's not me writing this is. It was written by Americans during the war. It was everybody's perception of what Awo said including the media, the man on the streets, AG activists, and even foreign governments. They all took it that Awo meant "If Biafra was forced to ANNOUNCE secession the West would automatically become independent". Everybody ignored the "allowed" they also ignored he said actual secession not just announcement of it.

WetinConsignMe:
Let's analyse.

Here is what Ojukwu said Awo told him:

"We talked and he was very vehement when he saw our complaints and he said that if the Igbos were forced out by Nigeria that he would take the Yorubas out also. I don’t know what anybody makes of that statement but it is simple. Whether he did or didn’t, it is too late. There is nothing you can do about it."
------------------

Here is what Sam Aluko, who was at the meeting, said about what Awo said:

"Awolowo said, if the East left the federation, the Yoruba would have to leave the federation."
------------------------

Here is what Awo said publicly (we will never know what he told Ojukwu in their private conversations):

2) The Eastern Region must be encouraged to remain part of the Federation

(3). If the Eastern Region is allowed by acts of omission or commission to secede from or opt out of Nigeria, then Western Region and Lagos must also stay out of the Federation.

WetinConsignMe:
Bottom line Awo, as a lawyer, put in the word "ALLOWED".

But the media, the public, man on the street, even foreign countries didn't see it. Instead what they heard is this:

If the Eastern Region is allowed by acts of omission or commission to ANNOUNCE secession or ANNOUNCE they are opting out of Nigeria, then Western Region and Lagos must also stay out of the Federation.

WetinConsignMe:
By the way "Biafra" and "Igbo" are not synonymous. There were many non-Igbo tribes in Biafra.

GhanaMustGoo:
Fine.but neither did Awo tell them he'd.be at the fore front of the fight against their secession

WetinConsignMe:
Either way Awo is to be faulted because (unless he was under duress from northern soldiers) there is no way u stretch his words that they mean: "I will throw my full weight behind one Nigeria and actively participate inn the war"

Here is what Americans wrote durring the war:

This is from "America's secret files on Ojukwu"
Note the bolded.

“AG (Action Group) activists and the man in the street are convinced Awolowo made the statement under duress… They say Awolowo’s true position was indicated in the Leaders of Thought resolution in May, which said if any region seceded or forced out, the West would automatically become independent. The activists feel that Awolowo missed the opportunity to bring the present conflict to close by coming to Ibadan and make a Western Declaration of Independence speech supported by Victor Banjo and his National Liberation Army.”

zeezlagos:
Thanks for showing my work to your colleague and for subsequently keeping in touch. All attached pics can be done perfectly if needed. The 1st and 2nd pics are Chelsea/Ankle Shoe, they just came with female sole. The 3rd one is the same, it just has a wedge sole. I have posted a boot similar to the last one in my first post, it just has a different colour. Thanks once more for keeping in touch. Best Regards.

bigfish3k:
so an anomaly should continue because somebody else has done it before

jinneyb:
At this point dropping my pen won't be a bad idea cos I see responding to you will be like moving in circus, take you time to learn a bit about Islam and the significance of using face veil, by then I think we'll be on a level ground to discuss.

No right thinking person under veil is posing a security threat to National security, before the so-called insurgent came to live, the niqab have been in use, those using it now are just a bunch of derailed and brainwashed set of mofos. They are not even Islamic fundermentalist or extremist, they are just derailed and brainwashed by unscrupulous godfathers.

I guess this little enlightenment would have done a little bit of helping your clouded ignorant mind and if you want to know more, rather than using your precious mb attacking on Nairaland or other blogs/forum, invest it in doing a bit more on researches. It'll really help you.

Thank you.

VillageWinch:
I patiently and diligently read everything and I must say, it is a fascinating read.

Personally I think Awo was planning to do something if Biafra seceded but something or someone persuaded him or pressured him to do the opposite.
Either way he still reneged on his promise.
