The Igbos were making great strides in education back then....covering up the gap between them and the SW.

(And if you mist recall....the first Nigerian VC of the University of Ibadan was.........an Igbo man. .Prof Kenneth Dike.).

And I am not Ibo by the way....or Yoruba.

I don't exchange words with babies but you need to wake up from your slumber. Foreigners don't develop a place except if they control they control their govt as in slavery (eg when Nigeria was under the briths)

Foreigners only compliment development or are the "ibos" the ones building Lagos roads; providing infrastructures? Do they hate themselves so much that they refused to replicate same supposed development in the East?

You do know there's a road called Bangays Way* in Kent, right? I'm assuming you read the Metro newspaper, since this was in the press recently... And technically, we can always complain about Welsh roads, since the Welsh are very fond of consonants. So please, carry this your mentality and throw it away.

*For those who might be interested, it was named after Frank Bangay, a parish councillor from that area.

You do know that London is not the only place in England, right? Apparently, a whole you does not know the free newspaper Metro or are you too posh to use the Underground or National rail in the South East? Clap for yourself. So please re-educate yourself.

In those days....most regions had not discovered ''tarred roads''.

Plus....most people did not have cars to drive back then.....so the Colonial govt decided not to tar the roads.(because it would not have made financial sense....plus we already had a rail system....albeit favoring the export of agric goods)

(In favour of the SW....they had a university under construction then! smiley)

I see English isn't your first language. London is not the only city in England, you really can't be this thick...

Note to self: Never rely on mobile data on the train, it will take ages to send once you pass Frimley.

The last time I visited, I was duped by your brothers that sold half sand, half Zinc to me as complete Zinc (Zn) making me to loose a lot of money. You don't need to tell me what the place looks like cos am perfectly aware.

I don't hate the igbos, on the contrary I have a quite number of fantastic ones (as business partners. Even met some in the North) but the bulk of others are blind to see the truth or maybe they can see but can't comprehend.

Lie? Why would I lie? Impress who? I'm simply stating facts, it's not my fault that you appear to be ignorant about the country you live in. Or should I say claim to live in... since you were so quick to assume I would lie about a trivial thing - my location.
