Igbos are not going anywhere and nothing is going to happen. you guys should stop all these rubbish lagos was developed by Nigerians smiley smiley smiley

That was roughly six years ago when I saw the hypocrisy. I told them it will come but they never believed.

They called me fool and other names when I moved back to Delta and have my business registered there.

Currently in Port Harcourt but how many companies can you see that is owned and ran by Yoruba or Hausa? All they know is mobile business.

I told you guys the next four years or more must force the Igbos to have sense by force.

The only good thing Tinubu can do for you in this four years is epileptic administrative structure.

Nigeria don enter one chance.
If you want to escape it just go and change your name to Yoruba name and you are saved.

Just like Nigeria struggled to make Anambra what it is today

The first and second Niger bridges were built from our collective commonwealth. The Niger River as dredged by the FG and as such Anambra is no man’s land.

The thousands of kilometers of federal roads and bridges in the East were only made possible because of revenues from other regions because as it stands, only Lagos and Ogun can survive without FAAC allocations

Billions of Naira from the FG has gone into fighting erosion in Anambra, Enugu, Ebonyi and Imo. These are problems that no other region is responsible for but have had to fund.

If not for the FG, the East will have no idea what a rail system looks like as billions have been sunk into the eastern rail project

Nigeria has built Eastern Nigeria and as such everywhere in the SE is no man’s land and belongs to Nigeria

So Binis own Benin City and another city called Lagos which is over 300km away but do not own any town in between both?

Just because one person migrated to Lagos from Bini where he met people already existing doesn’t mean the place belongs to them. How come places in Lagos like Obalende, Ikoyi, Surulere, Ikorodu, Oshodi, Abule Egba, Ojota, Epe, Ojo, Alaba, Okokomaiko, Lekki, Ojodu etc all have Yoruba names and share names with other Yoruba villages and towns and not places in Benin City?

Even Bini people don’t say Lagos belongs to them. The Oba of Bini was in Lagos today and he never made such claims. No Bini Oba has ever said Lagos belongs to Binis but guess what, it’s these people that should be dealing with erosion in their backyard that keep running with the false narrative and trying to twist history at every chance.

If you are not Yoruba or Bini, you have no right to argue what does not concern you. Deal with your insecurities and inferiority complex

When ignorance mix with arrogance that is the result. Igbos own is worse because even with their ignorance and arrogance, they allow deep seated hatred to mess up their psyche.

That is why you see them beat their chest in the morning and cry victimisation in the evening.

That one should be ignored abeg. Binis were allowed to set up a camp on a tiny area around Lagos Island just the way Lagos state is allowing Ibo to use Alaba market.

Another delusional ibo and his stupid obsession with Lagos. One idiot will travelled 500km from his backward, cannibalistic dungeon to tell the aboriginals the history of their land, such is the life of a confused, delusional, mentally deranged ibo clown.

You still practice osu caste system in iboland where some ibos are seen as degenerates and sub-humans yet you talk about.
Oba Dosunmu was ruling Lagos 200 years ago when the Portuguese arrived Lagos when your ancestors were hunting each other for dinner in iboland.

Tiny part of Lagos island was made FCT and not Lagos just like tiny part of calabar was made FCT and not Cross River, Just like tiny part of Abuja was made FCT and not Gwagwalada, Kwali, Abaji and other places that belongs to the aboriginals and so on. Same with Lokoja.

Never will you hear any tribe spewing the above nonsense only one deluded ibo clown after importing tramadol or exporting and selling cocaine to south Africans.

In iboland, someone from Ebonyi state won't be allowed to head a common motor park as chairman nor any elective position yet you foolishly keep displaying your madness.

In few years to come, at most 20 years your certificate of occupancy that makes you think you bought that land in Lagos will start expiring and the so called properties you owned will go back to the aboriginals by default. In reality, you owned nothing, that land was lease to you for 99 years.

Na only ibo people go open thread on nairaland about how opobo or bonny island does not belongs to Rivers State or Ijaw, about how Abuja does not belong to Gwari, or how Lagos is not a Yoruba land, or how Portharcourt is igwe ocha and belongs to the ibos and Biafra and all other nonsense.

Only you go fight Ijaw, Fight Hausa, Fight Yorubas, Fight Binis, Fight Fulani yet Enugu belongs to ibos, Anambra that was clearly developed with federal government money from first niger bridge, second niger bridge, dredging of river niger, establishing of seaport belongs to only ibos.

Sir, E no go better for your generations.

Let me help your madness,

Dosunmu (c. 1823 – 1885), referred to in British documents as Docemo, reigned as Oba of Lagos from 1853, when he succeeded his father Oba Akitoye,[1] until his own death in 1885.[2] He was forced to run away to Britain under the threat of force in August 1861.

Akitoye (died September 2, 1853), sometimes wrongly referred to as Akintoye, reigned twice as Oba of Lagos; first, from 1841 to 1845, and a second time, from 1851 to 1853. His father was Oba Ologun Kutere and his siblings were Obas Osinlokun and Adele.[1]

Ologun Kutere reigned as Oba of Lagos from around the 1780s to around 1803.[1] He succeeded Oba Eletu Kekere who reigned between 1775 and 1780. "Ologun" is the Yoruba word for "War General".

Ologun Kutere was the product of the marriage between Erelu Kuti, daughter of Oba Ado, and Alaagba (short form of ' Alagbigba'), an Ijesha traditional adviser to Oba Akinsemoyin.[2] He was the first successor to the throne through a matrilineal line, and the Yoruba line to the throne.[1]

By 1780, your ancestors were still roaming about naked in iboland, fact is, iboland belongs to the Binis.

The history of Onitsha began with the migration of its people from the Benin Empire towards the end of early part of the Sixteenth Century AD. The migration was as a result of a wave of unrest, war and displacement unleashed by the Islamic movement from North Africa

NO. Pls,I am Igbo and wish for all igbos in Nigeria to return to the East and invest their money there. This will give igbos more deserved respect and provide evidence that we are indeed the developers as we claim to be. It is also a big step in achieving an independent sovereign Igbo nation. Only a naive person believes in one Nigeria. Nigeria is a product of British mismanagement and we must do all it takes to leave such detrimental engagement
