Majority of the people posting about Oyo on their WhatsApp statuses are Igbo.
How many Igbo’s posted about starved Biafran children on Remembrance Day? None!
Oka mma na mba!
HAPPY NEW MONTH! ❤️✨
May our hands touch money and it multiplies. May our names be mentioned in rooms we haven’t entered yet. May unexpected income, divine connections and supernatural breakthroughs locate us this month.
Everything we’ve been working for, praying for and waiting for — may it all come together in June.
We are blessed. We are covered. We are NEXT. 🙏🏾
Happy New Month! Welcome to the month of JUNE. 💫
Today, we honour and revere the millions of my ancestors, brave, resilient, and unbreakable, who stood tall in the face of brutal oppression.
With faint eyes and trembling hearts, declared the sovereignty of their inner power and the dignity of their identity.
Today, we celebrate their indomitable spirit and unmatched bravery.
May 30th #BiafraHeroesDay
Igbo landing
Nri kingdom
Aro confedrency
Aba women's riots
The biafran war
The Igbo tech supremacy in Africa.
The 20 pounds miracle
The Igbo apprenticeship system.
Inventors of democracy
Expert in steel making
Igboukwu tech marvel
Yet people who have no history other than wars and scavenging thinks they are better suited to meddle in Igbo affairs.
Chineke kpoi unu oku.
If as a Nigerian I cannot make a documentary about the Holocaust,
If as a Nigerian I cannot make a documentary about the Rwandan genocide,
If as a Nigerian I cannot make a documentary about the Armenian genocide,
If as a Nigerian I cannot make a documentary about the Somali civil war,
If an Igbo woman cannot even have the word “Owanbe” in an exhibition she is holding in Lagos without getting attacked,
Then Meji Alabi-Isama and Leke Alabi-Isama have absolutely no business making a documentary about the Biafran genocide as Yoruba people.
Biafra is not some neutral historical topic to us. It is generational trauma, starvation, massacres, displacement, grief, and pain that still lives in Igbo families today.
If they are so desperate to tell a story, they should tell the story of how Yorubas were enslaved and sold by the Fulani. They should make a documentary about the fall of the Oyo Empire instead of inserting themselves into Igbo history.
Whether you support #Biafra or not is NOT the issue. The ISSUE is this: The other options - #Restructuring or Southern Presidency in 2023 will NEVER amount to anything because #OneNigeria is a CANCER that kills. It killed ABURI (and 3m Igbos) & it now nurtures #Islamic TERROR
When we talk about the Civil War, it becomes "Igbos have refused to heal and move on". But Yakubu Gowon repeating it every Eke market day is not a refusal to "Move on", right? Ezi.
Again A Yoruba man want to tell a Story he did not witness from Ibadan 🤣
Not under our watch anymore we are in 2026. Never will Ndigbo Allow Ewedu Republic to write our story
China has 1.4 billion people. Yet they eliminated extreme poverty by 2020. Let that sink in.
They built 48,000km of high-speed rail, more than the rest of the world COMBINED. Bullet trains gliding at 350km/h connect every major city. Beijing to Shanghai, 1,300km, costs about $50, cheaper than crossing Lagos in traffic on some days from island to mainland via uber.
In the Qinghai desert sits the world’s largest solar farm, panels stretching to the horizon, generating power for millions. The Talatan project covers an area bigger than some entire cities. They installed more solar in 2024 alone than the US has installed in its ENTIRE history.
Off the coast of Fujian, massive offshore wind turbines taller than 80-storey buildings, some with blades longer than a football pitch, spin silently above the sea, powering millions of homes carbon-neutral.
A single one of these giants generates enough electricity in a day to power 170,000 households.
8 of the world’s 10 longest bridges are Chinese. The Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge runs 55km across open sea — a feat of engineering Western nations called impossible. The Danyang-Kunshan Grand Bridge stretches 165km. They build in years what takes others decades.
BYD overtook Tesla in 2024. EVs start at $10K. Robotaxis without drivers cruise the streets of 7 cities. Humanoid robots assemble cars, deliver packages, serve coffee.
Shenzhen, a fishing village 40 years ago is now a futuristic skyline of drones, AI and skyscrapers that rivals Manhattan.
Sun and salt in the desert generating power. Wind and waves at sea generating electricity. Maglev trains floating on magnetic rails. Cities built from nothing in a decade.
Meanwhile, resource-rich countries with a fraction of the population sit in darkness, debt, and decay.
So how?
How does a nation of 1.4 billion pull this off while countries with more resources, fewer mouths to feed and centuries of head-start are still stuck?
How do they move this fast, build this big, dream this far?
What are they doing that we aren’t?
