I am not Igbo. I am proud of my Urhobo. However, as a stdent of history, I wish to show just what these great people came/come against and yet thrive.

Okay, the incessant killings in the North will be glossed over so as to make this article not overly long. The civil war will also not be discussed.

However, post civil war, as I explained in my post MINORITY REPORT: THE SYSTEM IS RIGGED AGAINST YOU, the rich in Nigeria have major roots in the Indegenization decree of 1972 and 1977. I reminded how the banks gave people of other tribes, predominantly Hausas and Yorubas loans to by up companies owned by foreigners. Now imagine the Federal government forced Chevron to sell 51 percent of its shares and that Access Bank will give you loans to buy the shares. How rich will you be in a year? 5 Years? That is how many Yorubas and Hausas got to own UAC, all those Dunlop, Leventis, Cadbury etc.

Now while this was ongoing, Gowon told the Nigerian banks to give TOPS twenty naira to any Igbo man that had money in the bank before the war. That is, if you had 5 naira before the war, you will be given the 5 naira. But if you had a hundred naira, you get just twenty naira in full fulfilment of the banks duty to give you your money.

Ask yourselves “why would the banks give Igbos only twenty naira? Did the banks collapse? So why pay less than you were given?

So while the banks were giving loans to Hausa and Yorubas to buy Oyibo companies they did not build, Igbos were being cheated out of their rightful moneys.

Now not also that these people lost Houses and business across the land. It is safe to say that as at 1970/71. the richest Igbo had 20 naira that may be the equivalent of maybe one million.

Let us lok at how Dangote made his money. He Dagote (a great man and pride to Nigeria) has an uncle called Dantata who owned huge chunks of the groundnut pyramids of the 50’s and 60’s. He gave Dangte a loan and Dangote paid it back in record time. CLAP CLAP. The add that Dangote has had his “brothers” in government, from IBB to Abacha and Abdulsalaam. When they now agreed to democracy, he was rich enough to have funded Obasanjo and so government policies, be it monopoly afforded him for rice, sugar flour and of course a large share of subsidy etc ensures he is the wealthiest Nigerian. (note many had same opportunity but did not use it. We kowtow to Dangote’s investment capabilities)

However, for the Igbo man, where will he see an uncle that will loan him money? The richest man in their family has how much as at then? So while Fani Kayode can inherit property of his father and grandfather and great grand father, a Chidi Cali cannot inherit anything from his grandfather who had business in Kano or even Port Harcourt. Neighbours have made his dad’s storey building theirs, and even someone as educated as Saro Wiwa lived in an Igbo war emigrant house as his. (a sore point of the Niger Delta and Igbo Unity) WAEC building was Ojukwu’s dad’s building and like that building, thousands and the land with it….lands worth billions today were taken from Igbos and each and everyIgbo had tops 20 naira, destroyed homeland, stolen and destroyed wealth away from the east. ALso his brother is never president that will give him oil block or fuel lifting. Of 33, only one Igbo man and because he was in Obasanjo’s good graces.

YET LOOK HOW PROUD THEY STAND TODAY!!! Look what they have achieved for themselves….FIRST GENERATION WEALTH…top second generation. From being unable to send their first sons to school so he could help look after the shop, to producing first class brains in all departments of modern learning.

So today, as you accuse Igbos of wanting their Biafra or of Baby Factory, or liking money and ready to do anything for money, remember that just forty years ago, while the banks were dashing your uncles loans to buy all the companies of Nigeria, it stole from the Igbos. Know that appointments have not favoured them. Note that they remain persecuted and many speak such ill and hate twoards a people forced by need to survive to be extra-aggressive towards their sustenance. Maybe if you took their history into consideration, you will not be so critical of them, but instead say “what a resilient people” and give God the glory that FOR NOW, we and such a great people are compatriots.

Meaning what?

who dosnt know this in this contraption called Nigeria, but they will always feign ignorance due to there envy and hatred.

"Hypocrisy is when you support your own criminals(amaechi, atiku, tinubu etc), and when I support my own criminals(mimiko, saraki etc) you begin to condemn me. Is amaechi different from mimiko? We are not ready for change at all in this country". Quote me anywhere

but today awusa and yoruba are the poorest in Nigeria, that is chukwuabiama for you.we are the chosen people

Op thank you for stating the truth. After all that we passed through in this country we still came out tops today. Thanks man.

One thing Nigerians fail to understand is that what drives the Biafrans is from within just like Germany after two world wars they are the richest in Europe

Front page quality article!!!

PUT THE HORSE INFRONT OF THE CART, damn it!

Sharap you cowardly monkey, there would have been a damned Emirate in Biafra like you have in your godforsaken yorubaland of effeminate cowards if Biafra didn't defend themselves from your fulani masters backed by Britain,Russia and egypt.

umu chineke

If i see urhobo people i just start to cry... upon all ur oil but heavily marginalised

Who would put it there? Your land was never developed before the war, it would have remained undeveloped if war had not been fought.

That's the major difference between your people and Igbos: when to fight and die honorably, or remain in perpetual bondage.
No matter the type of misinformation you might have recieved about the the civil war, the facts remain that Ojukwu could have more easily packed his things and left Igbos to their fate, he was wealthy, remember. But he sacrificed it all.
When your fellow Igbos are killed just because they are Igbos, without federal protection or intervention, and you think you have time to calculate and backtrack from being killed yourself, then you must not be an Igbo.

Most Igbos I know will rather die fighting than be taken prisoner for life in their own town as was the case in Illorin. I'm sure Yoruba natives of Illorin are still backtracking away from war with Fulanis since the time of Afonja.

No other tribe will survived what we passed through..
God bless Ndigbo ibem..

Proudly Igbo

Proudly Biafran

It was better than the land of the brown roofians and far ahead today. Face illorin

This yoruba generation should curse their forefathers for not fighting for illorin to save them the shame they suffer today.
200 years ago, their forefathers were afraid to die in the fight to liberate Illorin, today did their cowardly forefathers live forever? Didn't they still die anyway?

Now they'll leave the misfortune of bleeding for the liberation of kwara in the hands of their children. The children they are supposed to protect from harm. Cowardice is a generational curse indeed.

To be honest my dad said they almost deceived him to sale his house in apapa in a give away price. But he decided to abandon the house knowing fully well that the war will later end. Of course he went back to take back his house from his backstabber friends who think he will die in the war.

ok I was just going to laugh and pass but I just had to reply you. the Fulanis were defeated and driven back to Ilorin by the Ibadan armies. the only reason Ilorin wasn't liberated was because the indigenes embraced Islam. infact most of those that fought against the Ibadan armies while trying to take back Ilorin were Yorubas.

The Fulani Caliphate attempted to expand further into the
southern region of modern-day Nigeria, but was
decisively defeated by the armies of Ibadan in 1840

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ibadan

Oyos were seasoned warriors and thus Ibadan infantry
marched out to meet the jihadists who were pillaging
villages and towns with impunity from Ilorin southwards.
Finally, a decisive battle was fought in Oshogbo in 1839,
led by the dreaded new Are Ona Kakanfo, Balogun
Latoisha

I understand your stupidity is inherent. but no matter how hard you try. you can't change history.
have a wonderful day and pls stick to the topic
