Khadija Abubakar from Bauchi State is fluent in both Hausa and Igbo. She says if asked to choose between Bauchi and Enugu, she will choose Enugu. She even has an Igbo name. Onyinyechukwu (God's gift) given to her my her mum. Demarketing a part of Nigeria is demarketing the whole of Nigeria. Let that sink in.

Waju short for Olanrewaju is an Ede guy turned Igbo man. His intonation, swag etc is Igbo. He has left Anambra where he was born and bred for Lagos but still lives among the Igbo. He is one of those Yoruba that Yoruba have lost to Igbo. He balances multitudes of Igbo too that are Yoruba in intonation and outlook. Travel broadens the mind.

Ọba Abdulrazak Olahan is the Ọba Yoruba in Awka, Anambra (ceremonial). He speaks perfect Awka dialect. In this interview, he took his time to thank the numerous Igbo traditional rulers who have been of immense support to him. And he did this in Igbo language. He has been in Igboland for 54 years!

This is the full video. I shared a snippet about 2 months ago. I had shocks from this interview: 1. I met my guest, Yusuf Abubakar from Kano collecting money on the street from tricyclists in Igboland. 2. In this area alone, Carter Street and its environs, Ogui, Enugu, there are over 4OO tricycles operated by Northerners. 3. He sent his Hausa wife to an Igbo woman to learn how to prepare his best igbo food "Abacha". Why then do they tell us that Igbos dominate and suppress others from growth?

Benjamin Oyekunle Oyefemi stayed back in Anambra after his Youth Service. The indigenes welcomed him and began to give him many opportunities as a builder. He is currently the Assistant Secretary of Nigeria Institute of Builders in Anambra. In this episode, he shares how he recently bought 22 plots of land in an expensive area in Anambra with all the necessary documents. It is not his first purchase. He insists that if you have the money, you will get land in South East as Igbo people are business oriented. He challenged anybody with evidence of rejection of purchase to bring it up to counter his claim. He has been in Anambra for 8 years.

I met Rotimi Arogbo in Awka, Anambra State where he told me that Igbo land is flowing with milk and honey. I challenged him to prove it and he said he handles millions of naira today and has brought in 4 of his siblings who are doing so well that one of them is currently building his own house. He is doing so well that he was elected the Vice President of Car Dealers Association for Anambra State. His Igbo is impeccable and he has found Anambra as home since he left Ondo about 20 years ago. He told me that once you are not lazy and have what to contribute to the society, you will flourish in Igbo land. I teased him that Igbo people are not welcoming but he maintained that they are very, very welcoming. That until you travel, you cannot know who people truly are. Kindly watch the abridged video below.
