PointZerom: lol Rants of a chewing stick hawker. What is being discussed here is more than you,sir. Even Alabukun invented in 1918 still exists going as far as Europe. Iroyin Yoruba,the first newspaper set up more than 150 years ago in Abeokuta, Nigeria,so also is Tribune,the first English language newspaper. Wema bank that was even started in 1945 still kicking and so on. Odua group and the group set up by SE region were competing even if they could not meet up with the hardworking Yorubas,but they still crawled until they killed it with laziness and incompetence. Odua group is still kicking. The list goes on and on. For longetivity and growth,Yorubas dominate Airpeace. Onyema is wiser than you lazy bones. He desires growth just like Dangote that made a Yoruba man the MD. Yorubas are tested,trusted and guaranteed. Not their doing but The Omnipotent. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Cosbyrich: You can't change history. We know the reality on ground. Even during the last election Igbos defeated you to the point that you hv to violently threaten them. In wealth Igbos are number number one in Nigeria. Unless you want to remain confused. |

Cosbyrich:Google "Louis Ojukwu" When Queen Elizabeth first visited Nigeria, Nigeria as a country didn't have a befitting car to carry the Queen, it was Sir Louis Ojukwu's car, a Rolls Royce that was used to carry Queen Elizabeth about. Sir Louis Odumegwu Ojukwu was the first documented black billionaire and richest man in Africa then, use Google. He was so rich that the British government wrote him specially requesting his help during the world war II in transport and logistics, and he donated his hundreds of trucks that was used to carry soldiers who were mobilized to fight on the side of Allied forces in Burma. Igbo man was: The First Indigenous Governor General of Nigeria (Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe) First Indigenous President of Nigeria (Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe) First Senate President of Nigeria (Nwafor Orizu) First Military President/Head of State of Nigeria (Gen Aguiyi Ironsi) First Civilian Vice President in Nigeria (Dr Alex Ekwueme) First Indigenous Army General in Nigeria (Gen. Aguiyi Ironsi) First Chief of Army Staff of Nigeria (Gen Aguiyi Ironsi) First documented Billionaire in Nigeria (Sir Louis Ojukwu) First Secretary of Commonwealth from Africa (Chief Emeka Anyaoku) My dear, the civil war took Igbos far far back and yet they were able to rose from ashes and still overtook many to the disgust of haters from your tribe. Igbo means = I Go Before Others We are the first of whatever you dream of today. Whatever a Yoruba man is aspiring to be in Nigeria today, an Igbo man has achieved it in the past. If you are in doubt, use Google. British history written by British and American historians had it that the rest of Nigerian tribes envied Igbos post-colonial era, wondering why and how Igbos dominated all sectors; from politics to military to trade to economy to education, which they said was part of what motivated the 1966 pogrom in the North beyond the military coup. If you doubt me, use Google or go to youtube and search for Sir Ahmadu Bello's speech on how Igbos dominate everywhere in Nigeria including Northern Nigeria such that he said they have initiated a policy to stop Igbos from occupying any position in Northern region, that instead they would hire foreigners/Whites. Same thing made Awolowo to start the free education in Western Nigeria to enable his Yoruba tribesmen catch up with Igbos who were dominating everything even in Western region. These were the origins of the hatred and gangup against Igbos, the civil war then presented Yorubas a great opportunity to work with Northerners to outshine Igbos but still 3 Likes 1 Share |

franchasofficia: There’s no tribe without its own achievement, but when you want to chest beat and make others look like idiots, they will prove it to you with evidences. If we are taking of first to do something, for every one you mention from your side, yorubas can mention 10 to reply each one.

Omoawoke:Oga go and sit down one place. In every country, the most important sectors and positions are: 1.) Executive - President & Vice 2.) Security - Army (Army Chief) 3.) Economy - Richest person 4.) Parliament - Senate President 5.) Judiciary - Chief Judge And of all the above 5 vital sectors and positions in Nigeria, an Igbo man was the first to occupy them, so what else do you want to achieve and be noisy about?

franchasofficia: Yes I respect igbos and as well other tribes. But respecting your tribe and shading others is not okay, it’s not that you are special, you will only invite hatred to yourself when you make it look like others are drunkards. Saying you dominate everyone which is not true, are the others idiots? I just gave you evidences of the same Yorubas you can’t just love doing very well in sectors like tech, entertainment, banking, but no word from you. 2 Likes |

Omoawoke:Something led to me reminding some Yoruba kids about Igbo achievements. Imagine a Yoruba kid calling Igbos lazy, isn't that funny to you? Imagine a Yoruba kid saying Igbos were lazy and poor before the civil war, that it was after the civil war ended that Yorubas helped Igbos to rise by accommodating Igbos in Lagos? lafmaooo Imagine several Yoruba kids on this thread mocking Igbos for not having any Igbo person on the Forbes list of dollar billionaires, and you think they don't need to be reminded of their history and who Igbos are? It is their mockery and foolishness that made me to remind them that whatever a Yoruba man aspires to be today or tomorrow in Nigeria, an Igbo man has achieved that thing in the past. See how they have been mocking Igbos about Presidency, saying an Igbo man will never become President of Nigeria but these little kids with loud mouth forgot that before a Yoruba man ever became President, an Igbo man had became First Indigenous Governor General of Nigeria which was the first Head of State of Nigeria after British Colonial masters started to relinquish power to Nigerians. An Igbo man still became the first Civilian President of Nigeria. Another Igbo man still became the first Military President or Head of State of Nigeria. Another Igbo man still became the first Senate President of Nigeria. Another Igbo man still became the first Civilian Vice President of Nigeria yet these loud mouthed Yoruba boys have the shame to be mocking Igbos for achieving what Igbos had achieved many decades ago, hahahahaha |

Re: 5 Nigerians On Worlds Richest Black People List!(pics) by franchasofficia: 8:29am On Apr 05, 2024 |
diamond68:The marginalization started after the end of the civil war, the civil war presented Hausa-Fulanis and Yorubas the opportunity to take everything Igbos achieved before the war and then seized power and had a secret agenda to ensure Igbos are held down from ever rising again.

Omoawoke: Omoawoke: A supremacist believes he or his ethnicity is always better than you or your ethnicity even if you and your ethnicity have achieved much more than the supremacist will ever achieve in their lifetime. A supremacist will always belittle and denigrate you and your ethnicity no matter your achievement. You obviously are either under 20 years old or you are very naive.. for you not to know how the mind of a supremacist works shows you have never read history.. this is not cruise or online banters, the person you quoted is an i:gbo supremacist and will never ever respect a non igbo person no matter what.. most of them have this mentality so stop showing your naive attitude around them either online or offline... 1 Like 1 Share |

diamond68: i:gbos have never ever been marginalised... they only cry marginalisation in states they are not indigenous to so that they can get government positions in those states that is also one of the reasons they are the only ones that want "State of Origin" removed from the constitution. i:gbos are not marginalized. the way Nigeria is structured, ethnic nations that control a state can never ever be relegated, i:gbos control at least 6 to 7 states in Nigeria, the states means indigenous government officials ( i:gbo officials ) will always receive funds. if i:gbos were marginalized then that means since 1970 they have not received any allocation from the FG and they have never held any Federal Government political appointments, and never been governors, senators, local government chairmen in their own states. i:gbos are pros at emotional blackmailing other people to manipulate them to do what i:gbos want. 2 Likes 1 Share |

But Yoruba is heading tech and banking and politics and education and entertainment etc etc. Yoruba even has the most power outside Nigeria too with the 3rd top citizen in USA and uk are Yoruba , Wale and kemi badenock and head of african bsnk adesina and etc etc. Yoruba is nobody’s mate in Nigeria .

renderme:This is where I FIRST read of the Nigerian-American, Dr. Adebayo Ogunlesi's billionaire status in the list of 22 Black African descent USD billionaires worldwide, as confirmed by Bloomberg Billionaires Index. =>https://www.blackentrepreneurprofile.com/collections/black-billionaires Excerpts: "According to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, Mr. Ogunlesi, serving as the Chairman and Managing Partner of Global Infrastructure Partners (GIP), holds an estimated 17.5% stake in the company, resulting in a net wealth of around $2.3 billion based on the acquisition price." Second source is here: =>https://www.bnnbloomberg.ca/blackrock-deal-mints-gip-fortunes-led-by-ogunlesi-s-billions-1.2021533.amp.html Third source is here: https://punchng.com/ogunlesis-net-worth-hits-2-3bn-after-gip-sale-report/ 'Tope Awotona of "Calendry" too is listed in the first Website I gave here as a USD billionaire alongside Adebayo Ogunlesi. They are however both listed as Nigerian-Americans NOT full Nigerian citizens and USD billionaires like Aliko Dangote, Mike Adenuga, Abdulsamad Isyaku-Rabiu, and 'Femi Otedola. =>https://www.blackentrepreneurprofile.com/collections/black-billionaires This clarifies my original point on the Bloomberg Billionaires Index and Dr. 'Bayo Ogunlesi's USD billionaire status. 1 Like 1 Share |

Slytiger:Arthur Nzeribe from Oguta in Imo State is the one who was actually selling weapons as an arms dealer to both the Federal Government and the rebel secessionist during the Nigerian Civil War, NOT Arthur Eze from who is from Anambra. (Arthur Eze also got oil from the deep offshore after the 1993 bidding for deep offshore oil blocks at the same time just like the savvy billionaire and former banker with IMB, Mrs. Folorunso Alakija who later struck oil and gas with her international partners from her Agbami Oilfield). 1 Like 1 Share |
