what differences?...the differences are online, ebuka is still the guy I meet for my clothes and I still stay with him for over 2hrs chatting bout everything, my street nigga Austin still comes around to chill at my place and we get high and stuff(highness knows no tribe). There's a lot more. Only silly cowards hiding behind keyboards have not moved on from that, there has neva been a difference for me and there never will, becos to me Ebuka and Austin are Nigerians and human beings...that's how it will always be 1 Like |

Good move. We need to get over this tribal issue. It's becoming something else. They should also tell the Igbo's in Texas to let Dr Ariyo be after all he's apologized. May God help us. It is well. |

Igbo Lagosians can never speak for the Igbos who remain in the East. They are on their own. And I do not know why some Igbos have such a fascination with Lagos. This fascination weakens the wider Igbo people. 1 Like |

lygn19:That will be counterproductive. No one wants any hatred to increase. All we want is a coexistence that will bring forth a massive development and give our children a society they can be proud of. While doing so we will build and defend strongly what God has given us. Do not wish others evil but be ready to payback anyone in his own coin. This is Nigeria where people are illogical. |

lygn19:re you trying to divide the yorubas? Do you think we are like you people who discriminate against each other? Yorubas don't care whether you are from osun or ekiti or lagos so long you are yoruba. States where created by nigeria and not yorubas. Why do you think an osun man can govern lagos whereas an imo man can't try that in anambra? You are too little to think you can divide us 1 Like |

Do moment it involves Lagos, u use all yorubas are united to keep dominating d real Lagosians, but d moment it involves ur poverty stricken states u remember d reason y states are created, u guys wud be using igbos as excuse to dominate dem, no wonder u guys supported a Yoruba man from another state to dominate dem against a real Lagosian(agbaje)... despite how much support non indegenes/igbos gave him. Go back to ur state stop d attach by force, when d igbo's leave u guys wud be shown d way to ur bushes. |

OROSUNBOLB:Oga shut up pls lemme hear word, are you talking about the yorubas that are full of cowards,,, to be sincere if there is any crisis that will happen in Lagos, the yoruba are even the ones to loose more lives,, is not by making mouth or typing on a social network....

kobokokabaka: Your grammar is crisis ridden ! You honestly need to fix that to pass a meaningful comment at least. Kindly attack the Yoruba 'cowards' in Lagos or anywhere in the South west and you are assured of getting the same treatment your fore fathers received in 1967-1970. Igbo are empty chest-beaters. In this game,Yoruba hold all the aces ! Love or hate us,we don't give a damn. 1 Like |

THE IGBO AND LAGOS' DEVELOPMENT "By 1872 Lagos was a cosmopolitan trading center with a population of over 60,000 people. Colony of 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 the colony 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 some illiterates making stupid assumption from blind sentiments that they developed Lagos.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.Communication technology is a major signifier of civilizations and if Lagosians were already making telephone calls more than 70 years before your daddies, where then did you get the warped idea that you came to develop Lagos? 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 amalgamated country. If I may ask again, where did the stupid 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. I always feel embarrassed anytime I read and hear even so-called educated people from the East making these stupid assertions. 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. 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. 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 mis-educate your kids with fictions.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 all done with revenues from Cocoa. It is crass ignorance and naked buffoonery to claim Lagos was built with Nigeria's money. In addition, where did the foolish idea that the Igbo brought civilization to Lagos and Yoruba-land come from? 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 develop Lagos. Your forebears came to Yoruba-land like every other settlers and we appreciate their contributions but the stupid claim that Igbo built and develop 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. The first Igbo alphabet-character set and Igbo primer (Isoama-Ibo) was published by Bishop Samuel Ajayi Crowther (a yoruba man from Osogun) in 1857. How can you now claim superiority over the Yoruba race and even carelessly affirm that your forebears should be thanked for bringing enlightenment to Yoruba Land? While I do not see all these achievements as a sign of Yoruba superiority over the Igbo or any other tribe for I do not believe in racial superiority; I will not also tolerate any attempt by bigots who stoke ethnic hatred through incitement and arrogant claims... |

[quote author=Rose2014 post=34991518] Remind me how you intend teaching them the lesson again. . Olodo While you're behind your keyboard on nl writing trash about Igbos, they're busy out there buying your lands. Anyway Buhari will soon start paying you 5k/month so the end to your misery is near [/quotethe funny thing about land is no matter when.you can never take it home.Even if you like you buy as many hecters in another man's land.you can never take it home. Even you like buy all the whole of New York.it can never be an Igbo land. Even buy the whole of Detroit it can never be the land of aliaigbo. |
