I am not surprised by this post. Low-life, envious and incomplete igbos of wawa and adada descent are always bitter when anambra people assert our dominance and uncowardly opinion on issues affecting ndi Igbo. We all heard the recent foolish statement by another bitter and jealous wawa mgbeke skull in the person of Osita Okechukwu of VON concerning APGA's victory in Anambra, even though other APC chieftains of Anambra origin have congratulated Obiano for his well-deserved landslide victory and moved on.

@ Amarabae for the fact that you are diplomatic with your response atimes, I would give my stance on your leader reckless statement.

Obiano just displayed what is in the mind of average Igbo people and that doesn't mean we don't have the liberal and respected ones among your kinsmen.

Question of whom own Lagos is a thing that have generated heated argument of recent and claiming them (Anambrans) made what Lagos is today shows the chestbeating has gained another level of stupidity.

Igbos are not the only tribe in Lagos contributing to the growth of states. Infact most of the IGR generated are from industries such as FMCG, IT, Telecommunication, Banking, Oil&Gas, etc not from the 2x2 shop traders.

I see some of your clans posting pictures of nestoil at Akin Adesola as if it is the only skyscraper building in that route and it beats my imagination that at this 21st century, some people view is still in archaic era.

Yoruba are not known to be boasting. It's an insult to be posting pictures hence showing shameless competition when other part of the world are thinking of the next technological line. Mike Adenuga towers (Bull House) dey 4 Adeola Odeku, we no make noise. GTB towers dey for Akin Adesola, we no make noise, Churchgate building ( a serene view from Law school bridge) dey, we no make noise, just too many to mention. Even the nestoil, the major shareholder na GTB.

History have highlighted the original owners of Lagos whom are the Aworis, Egbas and Ijebus. Bini surfaced due to conquering some part of it through war but was reclaimed back by the yorubas. Before 19th century, Lagos has been the hub of the country due to its strategic location. The portuguese and English people were the 1st to make the city what it is today while the industrial revolution of Awolowo made Lagos as the most industrial state before Ogun state display it of recent. For ogun state, can we say it is the effort of Anambrans again? When someone have a strong economic plan, investors would naturally flow into your region. It takes brain to attract both Local and foreign investors in a state aside port accessibility which can be tax system, FDI, etc.

Igbos should note that Yorubas remains the only tribe who did not touch their property after the civil war. Everything was intact yet they have display ungrateful attitude towards those who were kind to them.

TheCabal:


So the Igbo man can't construct ?

And you believed his statement that the Igbo man bought a whole sky scrapper? The guy only bought a floor ( in the building) in lieu of years of agreement before it becomes his. I am not saying they can't but they are known to exaggerate things.

Those who have purchased a sky scrapper which is still under construction are dangote, Adenuga and Alakija ( Pearls tower).

Eziokwu! What a interesting piece. This is the first time I will like your post on NL. cool Continue to speak truth to power. However, I believe the development of Lagos, started before the colonial period. Jisike.

You self, are not being truthful to truth and logic.
The development of lagos may or may not started with the colonial government or Igbos, but you can agree with me that the contemporary social-economic dynamism of lagos as we know it today is a function of huge influx into lagos of Igbo merchants, importers, traders, and others as a result of well orchestrated and crafted policies of age long marginalization of the region by denying them critical infrastructural projects/sea port/international airport/ non federal government presence and projects, spear-headed by a Yoruba man Obasango right after the civil war.

While the Nigeria media space was celebrating Anambra peaceful election and mourning a great elderstateman Dr Alex Ekwueme, A controversial oral bombshell exploded from the mouth of the newly re-elected governor of Anambra state, Willie Obiano.
I was vividly disappointed by the obiano remark that Anambraians built Lagos, its undiplomatic,inflammatory,and divisive.
Issues like this can set us up against our hosts.
The Question of who developed Lagos can be examined down briefly below.
Lagos a Yoruba state started seeing some developement right from the days of the colonial era,
Its development rose when it served as the capital of Nigeria,the Federal Government pumped a lot of money in some infrastructure in the state,
After she lost her capital status to Abuja,the modern Lagos continued to grow and it is the melting point of all ethnic groups in Nigeria who are in the state.
Taxes generated from industries,factories,business centers etc is the source of IGR of the state.
Bragging about Igbos developing Lagos makes us look stupid before the world for some reasons.
Its time we Ndigbo show the world our own Lagos instead of salivating on another person property.

Aba or Onitsha are two Igbo cities that we can develop like Lagos if we have visionary leaders.

So why the controversy?
Careless remarks like that of Obiano arm our host against us,
Lack of diplomacy should not be a weak point to us,
That statement by obiano portray us as Land grabbers which in reality we are not.
I am not ashamed to say it that despite awolowo £20pounds saga, Lagos provided the platform by which some Igbos regained themselves economically after the war,
So why the unnecessary provoking?

Igbos should think home now for investment, there is no pride in bragging about developing another man's land and leaving your own to rot.
Enough of this controversy,Lagos is a Yoruba state and remains so.
We can build our Igbo cities and towns to international standard and stop this unnecessary "Lagos and no man's land" jibe.
Thank you.
For being real and unbiased you deserve a throne. Even the Israelites in the bible had their individual territories and region. The east should be developed but being biased about this whole issue because of investments in Lagos won't yield anything except rancor and disputes. We need people like you as leaders. Great post!

Sorry madam, we the Igbos are tired of Yoruba BS.

If their own Oba can be bold enough to tell dem that Lagos is not Yoruba land, then wat are u criticising Obiano over.

Obiano is Anambra state gov, his focus is on Anambra state indigence.

It is a well known fact and open secret that Lagos was developed by the people of the East with our human and capital resources.

Further, Ndiigbo are not known to pretend but to openly speak their mind and the truth regardless of whose ox is gored.

Amarabae we are not known for something like this. Look at how you have generalised Igbos (as if we are salivating over Lagos) just because of few rants on nairaland. How many Igbos have you met offline laying claim to Lagos or its development ? what is the difference between what El rufai said about Igbos owning 70% of landed properties in Abuja and Obiano's assertion of which you know his main point is geared towards Igbos bringing their investment home. This is not something to make a thread for or maybe i'd say its a hate for Obiano taken further.
