You miss the point that he was tacitly praising Igbos, openly admitting that as long as there is a level playing field they'd beat everybody!
As for coup, soooo Igbos staged a coup that did not include senior Igbo officers like Ironsi and Ojukwu, who were infact the ones who scuttled the coup.
Plus, the coup plotters Nzeogwu and Ademoyega (Igbos!) said the aim of the coup was to release Awo from jail and make him PM!

Taba21:


How many Nigeria tribes living in south east .
Shameless tribe.

IIGB0S are dangerous only to themselves .

You may ask Ojukwu for more clarifications

jmoore:
Igbophobia.



Watch fools clap for Ahmadu Bello's speech.

PoliteActivist:


Of course he was resentful, the same way you are resentful right now - and jealous!
I told you before, this is an observation that has been made throughout their history, it did not start with Ahmadu Bello. Generally, Igbos tend to excell, especially they tend to end up the foreman, or headboy, things like that - the person trusted by those in authority. Maybe it is work ethic, whatever it is - it is a historical fact. Check, even durring slavery it was evident. Same with earlier in Nigeria, b4 they took away meritocracy!

0monnak0da:
lol been around for a while?
Were you around when Lagos state was created?
Are you from Lagos state?
You cannot know Lagos state more than me
Ko si nko ti o n bo lati oke ti ile o gba
They said worse in the time of Agbalajobi versus Sarumi Edu Otedola

The sky did not fall
The truth is if Sanwo Olu and The current APC leadership could not win Lagos for Tinubu they deserve what they see
You must do projects that will win votes
4th Mainland bridge will not impact anyone before the next election
I know Tinubu has come to Lagos to protect his interest not to visit Akiolu
Those of us who know Lagos politics know this He will spend billions in the coming days in Epe and Ikorodu

We told them this would happen and what to do they did not listen.
Lagos has always been a Muslim indigene state. In fact the most Muslim in Yoruba land
Almost 100% of Obas in Lagos are Muslims check. I am traditional but Muslims know how to deal with these people . Muslims make more babies and that is what is needed in the numbers game Muslims are not happy and did not come out to vote.. If they do you will know why Lagos has 7 million voters
Identify your people and PAy them anytime they make a baby and tax Chinedu to pay for it that is how to play the game
Muslims are better organised politically in Lagos and SanwoOlu does not have that.
You cannot fix long term issues in one week
The most important thing is to secure the House of Assembly if we don't like the governor that emerges we will remove him

BlakKluKluxKlan:


Yes, i was very much around when Lagos state was created with the first set of 12 states

So even you, an educated Yoruba, plays the religious card amongst the Yoruba and on matters affecting a Yoruba in particular and the race in general ?
Procrastination is dangerous so waiting for the state assembly to do the needful is dangerous and could be fatal.
The deed must be done now.

Almajiri that jailed Nnamdi Kanu

What you were known for in the first republic under Azikiwe was nepotism that makes Buhari look like a saint
The first Nigerian to forge a Doctor of science Dsc degree was one of you Sylvester Anieke
Zik promoted him when exposed. There were countless cases
Again we saw the same shenanigans with Chima Igwe at FIIRO today with Ogbonnaya Onu

PoliteActivist:


You know, I can't believe someone is actually arguing this. It is not about Yoruba! And it is
It not about one anecdotal or isolated incident or person. It is an established historical pattern! How many tribes are in Nigeria? Historocally, Igbos have been and are in virtually all of them. Go ask any of them if Igbos are lazy, shifty, party animals. There is too much data to work with, a long historical trend of real-life results. It is not something that started with Lugard or first republic. Stop arguing an established historical fact. It makes you look dumb!

0monnak0da:
.Nothing to argue Ibos are known as empty barrels,noisemakers.

Ahmadu Bello would beg to disagree. Otherwise why not laugh them off? Why does everyone take them so seriously?

If you have to argue that you are great then you certainly are not
Continually arguing that you are great is a sign of extreme foolishness
Don't tell us show us

Everyone takes snakes seriously
No one laughs off a snake

PoliteActivist:


Say what you will about snakes, you can't say they are "empty barrels,noisemakers". You'd be making a fool of yourself, right?

PoliteActivist:


You are the only one arguing. Arguing something that is littered throughout history.
Show you? There is a looong historical trend of
real-life esults that shows you. Which is why it is baffling that you are wasting your time arguing this of all things!

0monnak0da:

If you are great it will speak for itself no need for endless chestbeating
You are empty barrels with a looooooong history of lies and empty boasts
When you are truly great you are silent

You are just noisemakers

PoliteActivist:


You are the only one talking about "great". Ahmadu implied Igbos tend to be ambitious and hard-working. Did he then say that makes them great?

0monnak0da:


That is your interpretation
He said

the Ibos are the type of people who want to dominate everybody and monopolize everything

Those are his exact words

I do no not interpret them as you have
I have told you before you cannot impose your inane interpretation on me.

There was a context and mood of the nation when he said that
Maybe you should research it and stop this preening narrative

Coming here to tell me nonsense about how Ibos excel wherever they go is empty boasting which you are known for
Was I the one that started talking about Olaudah and Jaja
I don't really take you seriously because you lie like children
Was I the one talking about
ESTABLISHED HISTORICAL fact of Ibo greatness?

PoliteActivist:


Bros, you must be the only one who doesn't know that "want to dominate everybody and monopolize everything" implies being ambitious and hard-working, even though Bello was saying it out of resentment. Other people, including Lugard, have said pretty much same thing but without the harsh words.
So it's not a one-off thing that relies on context. It has always been so, whatever the context!

But bros, do you really think that if things are left to play out without any sort of intervention whatsoever any tribe would have more than Ibos? Be honest

**BTW some Yorubas have Igbo origin and some are Igbo-like by nature. Just as some Igbos are neither ambitious nor hard-working at all!

T9ksy:



ol' boy, me too don't understand the bolded above especially as you inferred here however the oyinbo man who owns the language, define this act as..............

" A market structure characterized by a single seller, selling a unique product in the market. In a monopoly market, the seller faces no competition, as he is the
sole seller of goods with no close substitute."

How you, in your infinite wisdom can believe this greedy act is convertible with hard-working and ambitions, beats me hollow!

PoliteActivist:


Ol' boy, I hail o.
Sooo, explain to us how you "dominate everybody and monopolize everything" without being ambitious and hard-working.
Not only that, he went on to give example of an ibo in a labor camp wanting to emerge chief laborer. How do you do that without being ambitious and hard working?
Not only that, others have made same observation severally through history but limit it to "ambitious and industrious" without the vengeful "want to monopolize everything" part!

afbstrategies:

One brainwashed almajiri spotted. Keep yapping. The little knowledge you have was made possible by the same Igbo people you’re hating. Next you will dress like a woman and loiter in the street of Kano for pick up.

T9ksy:



Yeah, I remember how "hard-working" igbos were in the 1st republic, whereby they dominated the educational system in the old Western region with all the universities therein, VCed by them simply because another "ambitious and hard-working Igbo man" - Aja Nwachukwu emerged as the "chief laborer " (Minister) of the "Labour Camp " (of Education in Nigeria)

Even the northern region who is the most educationally-challenged among the 3 major groups still managed to get a Northerner to VC, their only university.

I repeat, one Nigeria favors igbos and their agenda to a "T". I mean, without the fake One indivisible union, how else would an Igbo man leave his region to dominate others in their ancestral land?
