Without oil you lazy beings will starve to death, you have your useless cocoa but when oil price was down all your states were bankrupt.
iggbbos are hardworking or cheats? Why do you carry cocaine and destroy Nigeria name? You love short cuts cos you guys are totally lazy. Always looking for quick ways to get rich. And since the yorubas have better reputation and integrity and refuse to do such they call them lazy

You people no dey tire, only fustrated and pained yanmuri from nnewi and upper nweke village do all this unnecessary chest beating, the hard working ibos are raking in millions and give no shiit about tribal bigotry.

This is the shiit you are comparing with lagos
shatapp there

Lagos that Igbo, hausa, yorubas and Europeans developed? Lagos was capital 76 years 1914 to 1990

Onitsha on the other hand has never been capital of anywhere. Just a city with hardworking natives.

Is there any city in the west as popular as Onitsha or Aba that isn't a capital city of its state. Shattap

I don't know why I am always attracted to plain lies and brutal deceit like this...

It is because I want to debunk lies....You know that all the crimes in Nigeria are invented by the Yorubas. Robbery, drug dealings, 419, juju, rituals, kidnapping called gbeomo, gbeomo, etc...why do you accuse others of what you do best?

Igbos are learning work from the likes of Bayo in this pic.

To some extent it's true.Most high rise buildings in Lagos are along the road.Abi they get another one.Majority of Lagos buildings are along the road,apart from areas in mainland,most inner lands are fallow especially in island area's,those that have buildings are mostly duplex.I believe individuals own more story buildings in Onitsha than Lagos.Before you start arguing,igbos control building materials market in Nigeria (look at dangote highest customer always igbos,tiles,paint etc).Why is it like that?,that's because igbos prefer building their houses anywhere they reside Lagos to Kano to Anambra they build story buildings for residents to reside as their investment.

Computer village, Lagos Island, Ikeja(from Olowu area to Allen and Opebi), Yaba etc are litered with 2 - 4 floors in thousands.

Lagos Island, Victoria Island, Ikoyi, Eko Atlantic, Surulere and Lekki are litered with high-rise from 12 - 30 floors in hundreds.

That's why you should fight for your own country, at least you can keep in tact the reputation of ritual killings, armed robbery, incest, child rape. agbero etc that is ravaging Yoruba land to your country only

Channel your energy towards curbing armed robberies and ritual killings in Yoruba communities first.charity begins at home

Lagos was already developed before any other tribe in Nigeria came to Lagos.

Lagos was already a city with modern architecture before British came to Lagos.

Lagos was already a city with modern infrastructures as at 1886 - 1901, before other tribes ever came to Lagos.

Lagos was already a modern city with telephone (1886), new paper publication house (1896), Banks (1894 & 1899), electricity (1896), Tramway system (1901), carter bridge (1901), Lagos - Ibadan train (1900), paved roads with cars etc before other tribes stepped a foot in Lagos, and only SW money was used to accomplish these.

Lagos seaport was already existing even before British modernised it in 1913. This was before Lagos ever became the capital of Nigeria.

This is the picture of Lagos in 1910 and no one Kobo of SS, SE and entire North was used to build it. Fact.

The moment British conquered the remaining parts of Nigeria in 1913, the entity Nigeria was formed and Lagos was declared the Capital because no 'city' outside SW was befitting enough. They were mere bushes and villages built with mud houses. Once this was done, other tribes flooded Lagos, the new world. grin

As usual. You lost your ingenuity immediately we asked you to fight for your utopian cocoa republic. Are you guys not genius again?

You hate Igbos but you want them in the same country with you. Are guys not ashamed of yourselves.

Fight for your country and forget about what happened to Igbos earlier. You are not Igbos. Gather all the useless agbero and criminals that are roaming the streets of Yoruba lands and channel that energy that they waste on criminal activities towards one thing for once.

You people have never stood for anything before except ritual killings and robberies.

You know that's the best choice of anybody from the east...forget about the talk of the agitation being for the poor people. We want to be like Ghana, Rwanda or Mauritius who have smaller population but are doing well...especially have PEACE.

When the flags were raised in the east...they didn't encroach on your land, but you guys are the most who are against it...even the northerners are gradually accepting the fact. So don't patronize people by saying nobody is stopping you at all.

Olodo. See Emporis and cure yourself of ignorance.

Low-rise 11 floors down to 5 floors or 34.99 meters below.

High-rise 35 - 100m or from 12 floors up to 40 floors (if the meter is unknown).

you must think you are talking to a kid in Nigeria history. Yorubas and Benin lost control of Lagos as far back as 1860 and by then Lagos was just a vassal out post of the Benin empire till the British built it and joined it with the rest of yoruba land in 1906

From 1860 until around 1930s, there was no yoruba man heading any government departments in Lagos

Even the black elites living in Lagos then where not yorubas...they were mainly from Brazil and Sierra Leone...you Afonjas were just boy boy in Lagos while busy fighting wars amongst yourselves before the British decided to institute a protectorate in your land and force order

shattap and face reality...Lagos is a cosmopolitan city built by Nigeria and Europeans.

Abuja was built without Europe but entirely by Nigerians

Onitsha on the other hand was not built either by Europe, Nigeria, or even Anambra government...it was mainly built by highly progressive Igbo natives. Kiss the truth and move on with your day

1900 Lagos was built by British and Brazilians. They had planned to make it a permanent European settlement in Africa like Cape town...they didn't succeed because of the chaos in the inner Yoruba mainland...they lived in constant fear of an insurrection.

They eventually decided to abandon their initial plan and incorporate the town to south Nigeria

Who were the Brazilians that developed Lagos along with the Yoruba indigenes before British came to add more? Yoruba slaved deported from Brazil as the result of Male revolt in Bahia. Fact
