If I compose my own pooo now you will see that the pooo you wrote above is not beta than my pooo. rubbish.
if you like seat in your dirty parlour and write long lies, one thing I know is that yellowba's has never contributed any reseanable natural resources to the national gdp since adam. group of miscreantu cowardice conquered by fulani women and transferred there lands to the north. babooooons and monkeys, so if Lord Luggard didn't join this zoo together, does it mean yellowba's can't stand on there 2legs, what are these scratched face hypos so happy about in this unholy unionism called zoology department of Nigeria. umu anu ofia.

THE GREAT DELUSION OF YORROBBERS FROM A JUJU-INFESTED ENCLAVE

1. Highest standard of living - yet brown roof slums with vast number of its people living in abject poverty and squalor

2. Most educated - yet least educated in the South with many illiterate Yorubas parading the streets, proving that the much taunted Awo's free education was in vain.

3. Most enlightened - yet juju-infested, replete with numerous evil forests, human sacrifice, pedophilia blood oath capital of Nigeria.

4. Sophisticated politicians - yet have internationally acclaimed drug peddlers as national leaders with a notorious being like Tinubu who embezzled Lagos funds and would still call the shots and gullible Yorubas would sheepishly prostrate before him and follow him and his rougish candidates blindly.
 
5. Best governed States - yet its states are bankrupt with little real development and have proven to be mere parasites latching on and leeching on the revenue from another's backyard and sweat.

6. Most industrialized States - yet many of the industries are owned by Igbos, Germans, Lebanese, Chinese etc.

That was how many of you lying propagandists kept brandishing frivolous data and rated Osun State as financially buoyant and vibrant until it went under and became bankrupt and comatose with its citizens merely surviving by the kind donations of other Nigerians.


Here is a list of some of your greedy kinsmen who looted and ruined the fortune of this country. 
How many Igbos can you find amongst this list of top 21 treasury looters?

And this is your idea of 'One Nigeria' where you persistently rob Peter to perennially pay parasitic Paul, and still continue to spill innocent blood to maintain the status quo in the polity.

For your information, Yoruba are not the most hateful tribe. The most hateful tribe regions would not flourish they way all Yoruba regions are flourishing. The right question should have been; Why Yoruba's are the most jealous tribe? the answer is this; Misrepresentation of facts about Yoruba. We Will educate many by sharing this historical facts . We must reject in total BIGOTRY in any form...We should celebrate our progress. "By 1872 Lagos was a cosmopolitan trading center with a population of over 60,000 people. Colonial Lagos developed into a busy, cosmopolitan port, with an architecture that blended Victorian and Brazilian styles.The
Brazilian element was imparted by skilled builders and masons who had returned from Brazil. The black elite was composed of English-speaking "Saros" from Sierra Leone and other emancipated slaves who had been repatriated from Brazil and Cuba.
By 1872 the population of Lagos was over 60,000, of whom less than 100 were of European origin.
In 1876 imports were valued at £476,813 and exports at £619,260.
Telephone links with Britain were established by 1886, and electric street lighting in 1898.
In August 1896, Charles Joseph George and G.W. Neville,both merchants and both unofficial members of the Legislative Council,
presented a petition urging construction of the railway terminus on Lagos Island rather than at Ido, and also asking for the railway to be extended to Abeokuta. Lagos history is rich in Yoruba tradition,trade and commerce,infrastructural development and cosmopolitanism." -
EXTRACTED
With the little facts above, I would like to educate
those making stupid assumption from
blind sentiments that they developed Lagos.

1. Lagosians had telephone presence in 1886, Itu
and Calabar got connected to Telephone in 1923,
while between 1946 and 1952, a three-channel
line carrier system was commissioned between
Lagos and Ibadan and was later extended to Oshogbo, Kaduna, Kano, Benin, and Enugu.

2. Communication technology is a major signifier of civilizations and if Lagosians were already making telephone calls more than 70 years before their
daddies, where then did they get the warped idea that they came to develop Lagos?

3. By 1856 Cable and Wireless Company of the UK
had commissioned a submarine cable link
between Lagos and London and In 1851 a post office was established in Lagos; all these before of the emergence of Nigeria as an amalgamatedvcountry.

4. If I may ask again, where did the funny idea that Igbo developed Lagos came from? OR that Lagos was developed with Nigeria's money when Lagos was not even part of Nigeria until
1914.

5. I always feel embarrassed anytime I read and hear even so-called educated people from the East making these sentimental assertions that has no basis in history or fact.

6. The first Yoruba lawyer Christopher Alexander
Sapara Williams was called to the English Bar in 1879 whilst the first Igbo lawyer, Sir Louis Mbanefo, was called to the English bar in 1937.

7.Again the first Yoruba medical practitioner, Dr.
Nathaniel King, graduated in 1875 from the University of Edinburgh whilst the first Igbo medical practitioner, Dr. Akannu Ibiam, graduated
from another Scottish University in 1935.

8. Again I ask, where did the ignorant hypothesis of the
backward Yoruba race who needed development by the superior Igbo race come from?

For the sake of our generation and posterity we need to teach factual history and not just cook up some
cock and bull ego-centric concoctions as facts.
The attitude of recycling long tales steeped in empty arrogance should be discarded before you
miseducate your kids with fictions.

9. Awolowo will continue to be the Yoruba hero not
because of blind followership but because he gave
his people the system of free education, free healthcare and he introduced Television to the Yoruba; making Yorubaland the first region to
have a TV station in Africa and even the Soviet Union all done with revenues from Cocoa. It is crass ignorance and naked buffonery to claim Lagos was built with Nigeria's money.

10. In addition, where did the foolish idea that the Igbo brought civilization to Lagos and Yoruba-land come from?

11. The aim of this post is not to deride any tribe but to correct the dangerous misinformation trending
among some Igbo youths and common in their narratives that Lagos is a no-man's land and that their fathers built and developed Lagos.

Your forebears came to Yoruba-land like every other
settlers and we appreciate their contributions but the stupid claim that Igbo built and developed Lagos is a gross display of stupidity because Lagos was already developed before your
forebears came here from their villages and towns.
The first storey building in Nigeria was built in Marina, Badagry in 1845, long before some of hinterland people gave up the idea of conical mud houses with thatched roofs which some boastfully
called 'ancient mansions.' How can you now claim your grand-sires developed Lagos?
Please if you are one of those spreading the fiction, I
expect you to desist from self-delusion and
collective amnesia forthwith.

12. The first Igbo alphabet-character set and Igbo
primer (Isoama-Ibo) was published by Bishop
Samuel Ajayi Crowther (a yoruba man from
Osogbo in now Osun, States) in 1857. The question is jealousy not hatred.

NewNigeriaMind:
Only a yoruba person will go buy a product sold by another yoruba from other tribes. Even hausa people are not that stupid, if one hausa man is selling biscuit here, bet all hausa people will make it a point of duty to patronise him.

NewNigeriaMind:
My dad once told of an igbo apprentice in the sixties in his firm, the man brings along with him his brothers everyday to work in order to learn from the Yoruba engineers.

Five years later, the apprentice have displaced the engineers. How did it start, the igbo man is ready to bow to the white managers, thereby acting out the skills learnt from the Yoruba engineers. After a while, the managers actually believe the apprentice got the skills and since they are less confrontational like the Yoruba engineers they started getting confirmations.

Lol

NewNigeriaMind:
The day I identified a yoruba importing and selling motor oils, I stop buying from any fucker except the Yoruba man.

Although he was born on the 14th of July, 1855 in Sierra Leone, Sapara-Williams had his roots in Ijeshaland (he was of the Ilesha subgroup of the Yorubas, found mainly in Osun and some parts of Oyo State, he fondly referred to his native hometown as Ijesha wa meaning 'our Ijesha'). He was the elder sibling of Dr. Oguntola Odunbaku Sapara, a well-known medical doctor. His parents were Alexander Charles Williams (Orisha Saparoda or Sapara Senior), a liberated slave and Nancy Johnson from Egbaland. They had three kids, one girl and two boys: Clementina Mary Anne (later married Honourable Charles Foresythe, once the Colonial Treasurer of the old Lagos government but she later died in labour in 1877 and the disaster so touched her brother, Oguntola, who decided to study medicine with special emphasis on midwifery), James and our dear lawyer, Christopher, the elder son.

monex:

i am neither from Lagos or Yoruba but this is definitely true. I think what some Igbos mean is that after this initial development, the influx of migrants/expats from other parts of the country and Lagos status as a federal capital helped to develop Lagos further.
