As a yorubaman, you have said it the way it is with we yorubas. i concur100%, but as for motor park tout what about this ones at upper iweka though obi done give them run due to transformation i saw going on there?

roxell120: every thread depicts vividly y we are not meant to be together as one country. yorubas always speak from both sides of there mouth. igbos shd leave ur land and the next minute ure saying secession is a bad idea when ure already championing it.sw minus lagos is a no mans land.what remains? if interstate migration is a crime then substract lagos yoruba indegenes from the total number of yorubas in lagos and see for urself. what drove them out of osun, ogun, ekiti etc? lagos w location is very important to all nigerians for the following reasons :
1.it shares comon boundary with some west african /anglophone countries

2.it was nigeria capital which attracted a large population especially igbo merchants just like Abuja.those that are business minded know how to explore such oppurtunity
!
3.lagos is a major transit point to countries that we ve strong economic ties accross west african subregion and beyond .
4,its the first point of call for marchants on both land and coastal borders

therefore its not abt yoruba here but nigeria and economic benefits. period

Are you sure? We are just mercantile traders. Nothing more nothing less. We hardly have corporate firms. Only small shops where we sell our wares. The richest among us do importation business and the business does not outlive the inventor or the owner. That is where Yoruba people come in with their knowledge. A Yoruba person can sustain a corporate firm with 5 million naira, and even if he dies, the business lives on. But an Igbo importer's N1Billion business cannot outlive him. The biz dies with him and is buried with him in his grave. Where is the sense in that? Is that what you call entrepreneurship? That's a monument of folly!

abbeylincon: If u reject Ngige's selfless service this time, on flimsy reasons, then Ngige shud jus wait till 2015 wen APC Wíℓℓ make him Minister of Health! Ngige would have bn your Messiah,I was passing thru Onitsha wen I stop over on my way to Aba, I felt sorry for that state, no single tarred major street road! Too bad! Ngige leave them to remain backward all in the name of APC,wit or without u, APC has come to stay, only Kano state is more than the entire east in terms of population, so wot re we sayin? Why d braggin?

Sunny_bobo: Since Ngige is so loved by the APC members who see him as a messiah of some sort, can they please present him as their presidential candidate?

Afterall he is 'tested and trusted'.

pazienza: Mallam tunde ngige is down, mallam adekunle okorocha is next in line. I love this spirit of unity of purpose currently present in Igboland.

tankoemmanuel: Only last month, a very big plaza in Olodi, Apapa, belonging to Igbo entrepreneurs and housing hundreds of Igbo traders was burnt at night. The next day Fashola was at the site and promised to rebuild it at Lagos State’s expense. No Igbo governor has visited the place up to this moment, and none has promised to assist the victims. Last December, Ngozi Nwosu, an actress, was reported to be down with a serious liver ailment, so an appeal fund was launched. No Southeast government, including her home state of Imo State, responded, just as no wealthy Igbo men and women did. Only N1.5 million out of 6 million needed for treatment in the United Kingdom, could be raised. Fashola provided the remaining N4.5 million. And now some so-called Igbo activists are accusing him of anti-Igbo sentiments.

Two months ago, Fashola completed the biggest housing estate he has built and named it for Emeka Anyaoku, an erstwhile Commonwealth secretary general from Anambra State. At a time some Igbo people cannot be hired as teachers or civil servants in South-eastern states, Fashola recruits them in large numbers, with some becoming judges and magistrates. His Commissioner for Economic Planning and Budget, Ben Akabueze, is from the Southeast. The chief executive of the state Infrastructure Maintenance and Regulatory Agency, Joe Igbokwe, is an engineer and publisher from Nnewi. Mac Duruigbo, from Imo State, is Fashola’s Personal Assistant on the Media.

Fashola gave Ikemba Nnewi practically a state burial last year in Lagos, the only non-Southeast governor to accord the famous Biafran leader this high honour. He was the only governor who attended last March the Chinua Achebe colloquium at Brown University on Rhode Island, United States, where he praised Achebe for his monumental achievements at a time the great writer was the butt of criticism by the Yoruba political establishment following Achebe’s unflattering remarks about Obafemi Awolowo in his new book, There Was A Country, a personal account of the Nigerian civil war. So, how did some of us come about the brainwave that the dynamic and cosmopolitan Lagos State governor is anti-Igbo? Simply because his government relocated some Igbo elements to their home state, some of whom came to Lagos to do business but instead took to hard drug consumption and became urchin, better known as “area boys”! Interestingly when Fashola began to crack down on “area boys”, most of whom are from his state, Igbo traders were over the moon, rejoicing that the governor had saved them from the miscreants of “area boys” who had for decades been tormenting the traders daily, extorting huge sums from them and viciously assailing those who refused with dangerous weapons.

me_for_you: First of all, let me say it again, lagos is not yorubaland at all. Except the rural areas of badagry, epe and ikorodu. Lagos was former british colony like hong kong and nigeria's former capital city. Developed largely by igbos and europeans.
And for a state that has capabable politicians like prof soludo and prof akunyili, it is a big insult to say that ngige is the best thing that has happened to anambra.

bakynes:

Just read this guy's comment,he is speaking the truth.If Fashola decides nt to employ ibos into his cabinet,there is nothing anyone can do.For God sake,ibo destitutes were d one sent back home which he did inform Gov.Peter Obi.Other tribes including yorubas were also sent home so what is the fuse about.Igbos just like to shy away from the truth bt prefer to hide under sentiments.

ceejay4real: What makes u think Ngige is d best? Must he be Governor? What abt pple like Soludo, Akunyili, Ubah etc., huh? Pls shut da fvck up!, if u hav natin 2 spit out 4rm dat ajegunle canal u call a mouth! Bagger!!!

Enlightened and civilized people let ballot boxes decide, not violent thugs, emotional and irrational people like you.

Looks like you people are still decades behind civilization..

Look who is talking about thugs. Was Tinubu not training and using thugs that helped to elect Fashola. Does Fashola not have a horde of thugs that he will deploy for his own errand boy in 2015? Yoruba=thugs.[/s]

Thugs don't vote and unlike you people, we don't need thugs to speak for us or determine or leaders and elected officials.

Lagosians peacefully walked to the polls like enlightened and civilized people and gave Fashola a landslide victory..

See ibo cannibalism. Must you throw uncle Ben under the bus as a token appointee when in fact the man was not only hired based on his credible credentials, but also because he's the best in his line of work as a banker which was what Tinubu saw when he hired him and what Fashola saw when he decided to keep him for 8 more years..


You people need to get out of this hate and bigotry business if you want to move progress and move forward in life...
