ImperialYoruba:


I dont care if its German Orthodox or Greek Orthodox...it is not Nigerian, period! We need Nigerian name on that street.

Should we change Nnamdi Azikiwe street in Lagos to Oba Akiolu Street?

You guys should let go of your ignorance for once. Drop this possessiveness about your region and givr to others in your house what you demand when you go to theirs.

wesleyfranklin:
Thank God you mentioned this. Lagos and Abuja were and is Nigeria's capital city. In these two cities, you have structures and streets names after people from various ethnic groups. MMA lagos (doesnt sound like a yoruba name to me), Nnamdi Azikiwe Airport in Abuja...yes thats Igbo. Now Apart from Lagos and Abuja, kindly mention any other state where you have such. Imagine Nnamdi Azikiwe Airport Ibadan or Osun or imagine Obafemi Awolowo airport Enugu or Awka (sounds crazy right?) now thats what I want you to picture in your head. Also, imagine even the federal government changing MMA to Obafemi Awolowo Airport Lagos (na dat time u go know say Hausa people no dey follow u laf). In federal institutions, like in UNN, most streets and hostels are named after all sort of people irrespective of their tribe...(its a federal school which is normal). Lagos is cosmopolitan while Abuja is the federal capital territory. Rochas has been very unusual and could wake up one morning and change Imo state to another name, allow the people to voice their anger even if it might not make any difference. Thank you.

You're non compos mentis, so you shall be excused.

Ruufahgee:
I agree with the op, as anyone who plies that road automatically becomes a hausa Muslim.

As a matter of national emergency, it must be changed to Nnamdi Kanu way.

You whine about other's hatred for you but look at how much love you show others.

They named a street to honor your President and you are complaining about an Italian Maria. Is Italy the origin of Christianity?

Get lost!

Balkan:
This Hausa man parrading himself as an Igbo man is turning Owerri into an
Islamic state with impunity.

Okoro Awusa, why not build your own road and name it after Buhari rather changing a name of existing road properly named, after you God Buhari.

We are in for more shocker

wesleyfranklin:
SMH. We are all entitled to our opinions though however vague it might turn out to be. Streets are usually named after the first person to build a house there or the richest or other reasons. For example, there is University market road in Nsukka, then you decide to change it to even Odumegwu Ojukwu Road, the university community will protest (let alone changing it to Muhammed Buhari Road). Imagine changing Oja Oba (most yoruba markets close to the palace are called Oja Oba) to Obafemi Awolowo Market (let alone changing it to Muhammed Buhari Market). You can say all you want because its not happening in your state but thats the problem whe have in Nigeria and Africa at large and until the youths change their perceptions, it will continue. Read my previous response to another NLder as regards why you can see igbo, hausa and other ethnic group names in Lagos and Abuja. Have you seen such in Ogun, Oyo, Ondo, Sokoto, taraba, Lokoja? If that is your problem maybe if you guys make any of the Eastern states the capital of Nigeria, then that wouldnt be a problem.

babyfaceafrica:
What is all this noise about?...if he changes it,the next governor can change it back.. People should let uabhear word abeg..noise everywhere you go.....

Rashduct4luv:
Assuming it's Muslims kicking against street renaming with a Christian name now, they would have been shouting intolerance.

Well, from experience, Igbo Christians are the most tribalistic Muslimophobe in Nigeria.

They can come to Lagos and see street names in Igbo, Hausa despite church or mosque present.

Even see the name, Latin name in Nigeria, do Italians use Igbo names too?

ImperialYoruba:
You all should calm down right now!

Maria Asumpta is not a Nigerian. Mohammadu Buhari is a Nigerian. Be patriotic please and calm your nerves.

doyinbaby:
Calm down everyone.....if majority of imolites don't want the avenue named after PMB.......patiently wait the next election vote for someone you are sure will change the name of the road to the name majority of imolites want .....

It was the great Napeoleon Bonaparte that said 'When an idiotic enemy is making mistakes to destroy himself it would be stupid to stop him."

Rochas should be allowed to destroy himself.

Will you shataap there you dumb arse mothafucka.

For the avoidance of doubt, go and read that communique again especially the last part. This is what he said and I quote



The Knight clearly states here that he is not against Rochas naming all roads in Owerri after Buhari for all he cares. But their concern is that this particular road has a very big history with Imo catholics being that it is the road that leads to the first Cathedral in the Old ecclesiastical province of Owerri region. But you are trying to twist he narrative now to suit your demonic thinking.

If I may ask you, can the road that leads to the Palace of the Onii of Ife which already has a name that has lasted hundred years be changed to Ojukwu road despite its rich history? Don't even bother responding to me to avoid giving you a hot slap this afternoon kid.

I don't even know why am responding you because from what I have observed on this forum, you Yorubas are negatively smart and very demonic in thinking

To now locate such an edifice on a road that bears the name of an Islamic leader

Abagworo:


The road has no f^king hIstory with any f*king body, religion or institution. The Assumpta cathedral is located at the intersection of 3 major highways which are

1 Owerri-Onitsha road,

2 Owerri-Pirt Harcourt Riad and

3 Owerri-Okigwe road.

The road that leads directly to the Church is Owerri-Onitsha while the other 2 are just adjacent. The part known as Assumpta Avenue which runs from Control roundabout to Warehouse/Nworie River was a short road without any streets which is the meaning of Avenue until Okorocha built Zuma road. This publication is fake and as usual aimed at deceiving the usual IPOB members who are negligible in the State but busy on social media.
