Reaĺly? Are you sure you're okay?



An Igbo man was the first to own a Vehicle manufacturing plant in Nigeria. We don't need a platform like Nairaland.

Talk about boxing before Anthony Joshua was born nor dreamed of boxing an Igbo man by the name of DICK TIGER had been inducted into the boxing hall of fame

Dick Tiger (born Richard Ihetu; August 14, 1929 – December 14, 1971) was a Nigerian-born professional boxer who held the World Middleweight and World Light Heavyweight Championships.

Tiger was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 1991. The Ring magazine named him Fighter of the Year in 1962 and 1965, while the Boxing Writers Association of America (BWAA) named him Fighter of the Year in 1962 and 1966. In 2002, Tiger was voted by The Ring magazine as the 31st greatest fighter of the last 80 years.



Talk about Adenuga being rich.

I laugh at your stupidity. The first richest and wealthiest man in Nigeria was Dim Odimegwu Ojukwu’s father Sir Louis Ojukwu – the richest Nigerian at that time. The first Nigerian to own a Rolls Royce.


Talk about movie production

The beginnings of the video film market in Nigeria is traced back to the 1980s when television productions thrived.

Many of the television productions often found their ways into VHS, leading to the development of a small scale informal video trade. This method was adopted and built on by producers and distributors at Alaba market to reinvent the film industry which was at the time facing a major decline. The first film produced on video in Nigeria is 1988's Soso Meji, produced by Ade Ajiboye. Subsequently, Alade Aromire produced Ekun (1989) on video. However, the boom experienced in this era is generally believed to have been kick started by Kenneth Nnebue's Living in Bondage (1992)


In the field of football, let's not go there;
The Igbos dominate and are still dominating it.

You had Awolowo, Igbos had Azikiwe


The only place that you guys surpassed the Igbos are in church business. Like you said, we know that most of your top Yoruba pastors are 419 pastors that have enriched themselves through tithes and offerings of their members while promising them heaven on earth.


NB: Yorubas are not on the same level with Igbos in every area and endeavour.

Next time Before you type rubbish make sure you carry out thorough research so that you won't fumble again.

Meet Nigeria’s first millionaire Candido Da Rocha who sent his dirty clothes to Britain for laundry -

Born in 1860 in Brazil, Candido Da Rocha was the son of Joao Esan Da Rocha— a returnee slave from Brazil.

At age 10, senior Da Rocha who was from the Yoruba sub-group Ilesha was captured and sold into slavery in Brazil in 1840. After gaining his freedom, Esan would return to Nigeria in 1871 when most of the freed slaves in Brazil traced their roots back to the Yoruba tribe Ilesha.

“He was very rich – he was a millionaire in those days and very generous. The elite in those days sent their dirty clothes to Britain for laundry. The Da Rochas, Johnsons, Dohertys and the Olowus, were foremost wealthy people. They didn’t wash their clothes in Nigeria. They sent them abroad for laundry. Some of them had about five dozens shirts, five dozens vests, five dozens pants, and everything they could afford.”

Please Nigerians, let us learn to live together-It’s painful for me as a Nigerian/American-To read all the insults and divisions -The Igbos with the help of Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe or blessed memories, helped this country to gain her independence in 1960 -Before the Biafra war the Igbos were the elites -The brain behind making Lagos the Capital ,not even minding that Calabar the former capital was a neighbor-The only problem we the south have is the division that have been created among us ,because of the war .My two sisters are married to non Igbos (One a Yoruba man) -We Africans have been brianwashed to hate ourselves,because it favors the statues quo of divide and rule -Yorubas igbos are not your enemies,we love you guys and we’ve supported your endeavors for years,before Ojukwu decided to form Biafra after the killing of Igbos in the north ,he consulted with his Yoruba brother first (Awolowo) So he can get Oduduwa-The northern people knew from experience that these two tribes are very influential,so using religious sentiments (Yoruba Muslims) to gather empathy will distort the southern region-After the war the financial minister a Yoruba man -Gave us nothing -We we’re hart broken ,you helped the north to kill us in millions and rape our sisters -All we are saying is just give us a chance to live and strive in Nigeria-If we don’t love you guys we won’t be living in your communities providing jobs and developing your communities-So long this is my first write up on Nairaland-I’m a big fan -One love to all Nigerians-Peace !!!

UNTIL an Igbo artist can acheive the feats of Fela, Sunny-Ade, KWAM 1, Wizkid, Davido, Burna Boy, Banky W, Olamide etc...
UNTIL an Igbo man becomes the world heavyweight Boxing champion like Anthony Femi Joshua.
UNTIL an Igbo man becomes the world MMA champion like Israel Adesanya
UNTIL an Igbo can be as successful as Mike Adenuga
