It is you that you should learn to use your brain. Igbos have not dominated anything. You are only here because we still feel you are still useful to us.. The moment we have sucked you dry, we will push you out. Eediot. Just continue to invest all your money and increawe our IGR more than that of your alaigbo states. And it is your tribe that should be ashamed of yourselves for being ungrateful ingrates to your amiable hosts. If we had given you the kano treatment, you would all have run away. Our own would have been worse than that of Hausa Fulani. And do you know why? We wouldn't fight you physically, but diabolically.

Yorubas and their loud mouth and hypocrisy. Igbos fight u in your land and u cant do anything about it so stop talking nonsense.
Igbos are still living large in Kano and making millions while the almajiri's keeps begging for the crumbs that falls off their tables so i dont understand your nonsense talk about Kano treatment.
Now u are agreeing that igbos are increasing your IGR you hypocrite. But you people said before that igbos are not contributing to the development of your area, now the truth is coming out.
Keep wailing while we keep making exploits in your land.

Have notice this thing among the igbos 85% of them don't established their business on their soil.
They have to move to other region in other to succed in their business.
Even with boko haram menace in borno some igbos re still trooping there for business..
They left their Land to develop another region,
Anambra looks like the whole state is in under construction

Abia state have the dirtiest city in west africa

Ebonyi is like an abandoned state

Enugu and imo re only the decent states in south east

Is hardly you u will see a man that leaves his comfort zone to another to suffer when he have everything at his disposal back home..


My question re igbos running away from their Land when they claim they have everything..?

Understanding the dilemma that is Biafra.

Anyway i owe the op no explanation cos lagos belongs to eguns...

Lame excuse. You empty chest beaters should stay in your lands and develop it no matter how small or barren it is to save your necks, it's only a matter of time before the Kano youths start listening to Biafra radio.

i know frm the start yu re yoruba boi..
See ya tonation...lol..

Whether they listened or not,it s their own business, i ve frnds frm there and i think the kano youth dont ve time cos they re busy changing dollars whereva they go..

Your own madness began long before your parents were born. Do not forget that they were born mad and they transfer the madness to you, flaaaaathead. I guess the gully erosion has exhumed your parents' stinking dead body and their unclean spirits are already toying with your brain, hence this your manifestation of madness traits.

You are even a full time eeeediot. You are sure it is in Oyo, yet your dumbass eediotic self does not know the town in Oyo. You are an eeediot. You remind me of your hero,azikiwe jonathan , asking: "where is gwoza sef?"

Yorubas must really torment you, for you to see anyone attacking your hypocrisy as Yoruba.

How bad could it be in Iboland? Even Boko Haram victims don't run from their region as much as you do. Ever since I was born, Nyamiri have been flocking to my region in 'attachment' on your escape buses.

Imagine standing all through a 15 hour journey just to get to the North, then you turn around and try to insult the region. Pathetic.

Economic adventure indeed, I'm glad you've accepted that you cannot remain in your erosion ravaged, backward and undeveloped towns and have to run to the same Yorubas and Hausas you try to compare with for relief.

the money made by igbos across the world is used to develop the east.eastern Nigeria is a self made region and was not made by the government.most ppl leaving the SE are running away from competition.ask dangote your brother and he will tell u the amount of competition his products are facing in SE

Biafra is a peaceful place so the yorubas cant torment us cos we see them as untrustworthy both in business and relationship. They re betrayers cos i know that you re a yoruba pig and that s why i said

You can never be a Fulani man. A Fulani man cannot write this

Probably if Lagos cease to exist the Yorubas And Ibos will finally be at peace. Let there be peace in the land people.

Though I have traveled to almost every state in Nigeria and I observed somethings, all other tribes welcome Ibos into their lands i.e you can see many Ibo people being commissioners, chairmen, landowner etc in other places in Nigeria. But why is it that the Ibos don't allow foreigners to thrive in their land? I lost a deal in the East because of my ethnicity, was being called by my christian name by the would be client but when they discovered I wasn't Ibo they blatantly told me to my face that they can't give me the contract regardless of my track records.

Though I must give it to them they are really industrious and hard working met some wonderful ones too back in high school and college and also in my business line.

Guess all tribes be it Yoruba, Ibo, Hausa have their various percentages of Tribal Bigots.....

God will help us to endure each other....

but why are you claiming igbo..are you ashamed of your Yoruba heritage ..I have seen your post history so stop this impostors


be proud of Yoruba ..Igbo will impact in the rest of 170 million Nigeria from the clothe they wear to phone they use then to shoes the wear even drugs they take ..there must be igbo imprints ..and how do we achieve this ...economic domination..by venturing out

I don't try to change people's opinions of me. You're problem is,you pick and choose who is IGBO or NOT based on people who agree with your sentiment. So you are telling me I am not Igbo because I don't agree with you? Your arguments are vain,simplistic and down right idiotic. You are part of the group chukudebelu calls Philistines.

Abagworo:

So, where did you put the ONE NIGERIA mantra when you were establishing radio Biafra? Where did you put the ONE NIGERIA idea when you were calling Nigeria a zoo? I hope you realize that accepting ONE NIGERIA automatically count you among the animals in the zoo? So, welcome, my fellow zoo dweller. And last time I checked, Igbo's are being murdered in kano. How come you can't protect yourselves in a place you claim to own?

You're right.
The people yelling Biafra na small pickin, those people.
The real matured Igbos are those who bought and own more than 76% lands in Abuja, more than 55% land in Lagos, etc.
You can't get rid of them no way.
After all the Jews were never able to get Peurto Rican, Mexican, and Dominicans out of NYC.

Yoruba stop conaoling and fooling yourselves. Here is a true confession by your father.

Igbos In Lagos State: My Experience, By Senator Adeseye Ogunlewe

Lagos State belongs as much to the ethnic Igbo as to the Yoruba, Ijaw, Hausa, Fulani, Efik, Idoma, Urhobo, Itshekiri, Edo, and so on who live in it, pay tax, identify with it, and settle in it. That compact was made the moment Nigeria became a single nation, and a successor power to the old principalities who were subdued and who ceded their sovereignty for the new commonwealth of Nigeria .
It was pragmatic. The Igbo had the skill and the industry, and Lagos was the seat of the Federal Government of Nigeria and its major port.

The Igbo have lived in Lagos since the 15th century when the Aro and other Igbo first settledin good number in a place we nowcall “Oyingbo” in the era of Benin and the Portuguese trade.

The arrival of Dr. Namdi Azikiwe to Lagos in 1937 from Accra after his studies in the United States, stimulated the political and cultural environment of Lagos as no other has before or after him. Zik literally resurrected the wizard of Kirsten hall from political death. Zik represented Lagos in the western house. The NCNC was the power in Lagos , and not the Action Group. The Igbo were prominent in the governance of Lagos in the Lagos City Hall.

The institutional development of Lagos – the railways, the ports andship yards; the education and research facilities; the Banking and Commodities Exchange, the development of towns like Yaba, Surulere, Ebutta-Metta, Festac Town, Victoria Island, and now increasing the Ajah-Lekki axis, and of course, the ghettoes along the Orile-Badagry axis, have profound Igbo imprimatur.

The circulation of the image of Lagos is to date best reflected in the cosmopolitan Igbo imagination of one of the greatest African writers of the 20th century, Cyprian Ekwensi, a thorough Lagosian if there was any. Igbo have built industries in Lagos and have been drivers of commerce and exchange.

Interestingly, I was born at plot number 8, Okoya Street , Idumagbo- Lagos, while the Ojukwu families were residing at number one to three on the same street. I grew up to know the father of Odumegwu Ojukwu. Chimbizie and Azuka grew up withus on the same street. Even the Chibeze small parking space at the end of Okoya Street is called Ojukwu. I later attended St. Patrick Primary School , Idumagbo, where I had very amiable classmates of Igbo origin in the persons of Azubike Ezenwa and Damian, Ihekuna, both now professors and doctors of today. They were brilliant, resourceful and friendly.

When we were playing bamboo and Tene Felele at Orikoriko at Onola playing ground, the Igbo participated actively. In the area of sports, school football and athletes, Igbo were dominant at Kings College, St. Gregory school, St. Finbars, Akoka, Igbobi College and Ahmadiyya College, Agege. Such boys, Njokwu, George Amu, Stephen Keshi, Henry Nwosu, Patrick Noquapor, Peter Anieke and Sammy Opone were dominant on the field of football, while Asiodu, Empire Kanu were prominent on the field of athletics.

Anytime we went to watch football match at Onikan stadium, my darling team, Stationery Stores and our adversary team I hated most was the E. C. N, where the centre forward, Paul Hamilton, the National Team, Fabian the captain who bit the dust. Our greatest captain was Duru, Oduah Onyenrekwa, Onyeador Onyeali and Opel, the greatest outside right Nigeria ever had, Cyril Azuluka.

So, during my early life at primary school, the Igbo were always there and delightful to watch, both in athletes and on the football field.

When I listened to radio at that time, both the commentary and drama series, the Igbo were there for you. The likes of Chris Ndaguba, Ernest Okwonkwo, Ralph Okpara ‘Alawo Sekiseki the traveler’. The episode will end with – The script was written by Ralph Okpara and edited by Yemi Lijadu.

Anytime I visited where I was born today in Idumagbo at Lagos Island, the entire place is covered by Igbo traders in their thousands. They were never troublesome but decent and accommodating. They have virtually taken over all properties of the indigenes. They succeeded in developing all our properties, married to most of our children even from the royal families. There is no single house you will visit without an Igbo man selling wares there.

So, who is saying something else? Only the strangers in our midst will not notice participation of economic development in our state by the Igbos. Most houses and shops in Lagos Island have been purchased, developed and occupied by the Igbos. The value of their investments in Lagos Island alone is in trillions of naira.

Instead of deporting the Igbos, whose contributions to the development of Lagos state are immensurable, you must keep on praising and encouraging them to keep on developing Lagos State.

The same thing is happening in Ibadan. The CCII chief called Bayo Oyero even cried last year that foreigners have over their lands in Ibadan. That they are even tenants in their own lands.

Politically they are slaves to the north. Economically they are slaves to everyone, be it SS, SE, North, Oyinbo, Chinese and from what I heard Indians are starting to take over them too in their lands. Tufiakwa!!

fulanimafia:
The one that baffles me is how they insult the North yet they flock here daily packed like sardines in their escape buses.

Eze Nwata, Chisco, ABC, Young Shall Grow, Ekene Dili Chukwu etc all survive from helping their people escape to the same North they claim is backward despite complaining of being attacked.

It did not start now either, Zik was born in 1904 in Zungeru, present day Niger state. This means his parents likely lived in the North before 1900.
Same for Ojukwu who was also born in the North.

The funny thing is that they still inhabit the poorest, ramshackle part of town so I used to wonder how bad it was where they were coming from until I visited Onitsha and Abia in 2012 and 2013 respectively, it was then I understood their calamity.

lolzz,yess poorest,ramshackle part of the town like sabon gari
