My dad had a similar experience. He owned three FMCG stores in Yaba, Tejuosho to be precise. After the war he didn't even come back to Lagos immediately because he felt he might not be welcome. Instead he moved to PH then to Sapele and started doing imports of sewing machines (many Igbo people started itinerant sewing which led them to Okrika). He couldn't crack the business however so his friend who had moved to Cotonou asked him to come join him. On his way there he passed through Lagos and decided to stop by his former area (two full years after the war ended) and found out that his long term neighbor a Yoruba man had kept his 3 shops running, restocking it and keeping all the records. When he saw my dad he told him he'd been looking for a way to reach him since the war ended, even sending messages but post war craziness meant no way to find him. He totaled the money he'd managed plus the cost of buying the stores and everything added up to £9,000. That's what my dad took plus the £6,000 he made from selling off his old business and started doing shoe and textile imports in Lome from 1973 onwards. Many such cases.

I so hate people like this. Yoruba people are betrayers, Yoruba people stole our this and that, they said nothing today they are telling beautiful stories that we knew and told. Eat shit!!! And I think I know why most of you are coming up with this today but you guys lie



Lagos-Onitsha-Owerri-Aba-Port Harcourt is the most viable rail route in Nigeria. Guess what, the evil Nigeria establishment will never build it. SE interstate rail isn't their business, but they're building metro rail in Kano and Kaduna.

If you remove the industrialization in Ogun State, where will you put it? 🤣🤣

The Crowd at Gbenga Adeboye's burial and lying in state was more than that of Fela. I don't know anyone who has had that kind of ridiculous crowd before at their burial



This user is half Yoruba and half Urhobo, you?

@KeizerSoze808 @Dee_Batch @ayekeeno popularity at best. The numbers do not translate to global popularity. Klay Thompson could walk in the streets of London and he wouldn’t be recognised
