What do you make of the title given to Fayose by IPOB, Honorary Governor of Biafra?

(Laughs hysterically) I think that’s part of the fun of the moment. Biafra is not a state, so how come it has a governor? But I think that his move should inspire a number of people. People forget that one of the great heroes of Biafra was (Prof.) Wole Soyinka. He was actually jailed for speaking up (against) the injustices of 1966/1967 that happened to the Igbo people. He was harassed. So, it is not a new tradition from Yorubaland that people of conscience recognise that something is wrong somewhere. Therefore, wherever there are opportunistic people who try to capitalise on these in their own interests, there are people of goodwill and strong conscience who recognise differently. And I think this must be the project now, to get those people of good conscience to break this thing.

The reason Lagos is as developed as it is, to the envy of everybody, is every simple. During the Civil War, the divide-and-rule game played by the Federal Government led to Igbos being eviscerated in Port Harcourt (Rivers State), which is part of Igboland. Igbos then turned to Lagos and the people of Lagos were welcoming of the Igbo people, and that is why Lagos is the way it is today as a strong centre of commerce in the world. I think that the lessons from that, which is the point I tried to make when the Oba (of Lagos) made a joking remark during the election that people took too far.

We even developed Abuja, we only allow Onitsha to be the most polluted city in the world.

Since yesterday you are just been frustrated from all side....considering the thread been created lately....

I will advice you to take it easy before you die of envy.......Everything is not about tribalism.... try to live above tribalism and hatred and see how handsome and healthy you will look in the next few days.....

Basic123:
The "ibadan brown roof fetishists"IBFR like the one above me illogicality and hypocrisy are legendary and you just exposed yourself.

By the way,with the post above are you trying to say you dirt lagos like you did to onitsha or what?...this is the illogicality we always talk of.

when lagos is good its a no man's land when its bad it belongs to the yorubas.

ODVanguard:

Can you please quit spamming my mention Mr. IPob. Yorubas are not your problem, OK?? It's not my fault nor concern if Ikwerres denounce their igbo affiliation just to keep PH out of SE sphere of influence, or that ijaws lay claim to PH. Plus, I don't understand this ipob fascination with Lagos sef. You are a nobody and too inconsequential for me to even dignify your trolling about Lagos ownership with a response, really.

When you all get your Biafraa, una fit name una capital Lagos coz this Lagos right here will forever remain Yorubaland and the heritage of the Yoruba. The Lagoon is there for you to help yourself with if you got a problem with that.

ODVanguard:


Are you minding them? Even the PH sef is more developed than anywhere in the SE. Upon all their noise about developing everywhere else nowhere in their entire region is as developed as Lagos, Abuja, PH, or even Ibadan sef.

Eastwalk:
Pieces of bunkum......, I am talking of onitsha as a city you are fiddling on trabalism. nw who is tribalistic. Going through your signature all your post are tribalistic infact you should check ur username. And if envy really kills then half of your kinsmen should be dead by now, you deal with ur inferiority complex by claiming other people ahcievement. PH is own by the ijaw you claim its igboland. Lagos is developed by all tribe but majorly by the owners the yorubas. and you claim you developed it. What enviousness can be more than that you are even jelous of the beautiful yoruba people by bearing a stupid username.

Port Harcourt (Ikwerre: Ígúọ́cha;[12][13][14] Pidgin: Po-ta-kot[3][Note 1]) is the capital and largest city of Rivers State, Nigeria. It lies along the Bonny River and is located in the Niger Delta. As of 2016, the Port Harcourt urban area has an estimated population of 1,865,000 inhabitants, up from 1,382,592 as of 2006.[15][9]

The area that became Port Harcourt in 1912 was before that part of the farmlands of the Diobu village group of the Ikwerre, an Igbo sub-group (a controversial claim).[16] The colonial administration of Nigeria created the port to export coal from the collieries of Enugu located 243 kilometres (151 mi) north of Port Harcourt,[17] to which it was linked by a railway called the Eastern Line, also built by the British.[2][17][18] Wiki..

Afonja, you need some education.

Very soon you will say Onitsha belongs to the Binis, Enugu to the Wawas, Owerri to the Opobos...You can claim the Igbos have no city... to make you happy...Rubbish...

ExplorerReturns:
@eastwalk and ODVanguardoung you must be foolish to claim that port Harcourt is owned by ijaws. porthacourt is pure Igbo land and the satellite city and expansion is obigbo which is still Igbo land.

we already know that Yoruba land is landlocked. Lagos coastlines is owned by the binis and history support this while Ogun and ondo is owned by ilajes which is an ijaw sub group known as apo ijaws. you guys used population and political influence to carve this people into Yoruba land shame on you!!!!!

stop claiming Lagos and accept you are from the rusty leaky roof of Ibadan. don't stay in your ogbomosho and mowe idp camp and tell us where is Igbo land and where is not. the PH your claiming belongs to ijaws,how many ijaws has ruled rivers state?
