Are you serious?

You mean there is no Igbo man there?

What am I even writing sef?
If an Igbo man goes there today, and finally develops it, through business and other means, the owners will immediately flock back in droves and start chanting "they want to take over our land. Igbos must leave. This is our land"


Well, let the inhabitants develop it, the way their kinsmen claimed they developed Lagos.

Well, Tilluumbuuu developed Lagos.

Peter obI pls take note. We are heading to Oyo state immediately you take over. Don't worry ilu Aje, ObI is coming .
On a second thought, before we come to ilu Aje, you all should gather together for spiritual deliverance first so that our efforts won't be in vain
Have been to many communities in the east, to reside at ilu aje would be a blessing compared to many eastern villages

Olasunkanmi Femi Saamson, Ilu Aje’s councillor, said he had been working to have the damaged drainage fixed since he assumed office, but his efforts were yet to yield any result.

Is it that the money allocated to his local council is not been paid all this while, or he doesn't know where to get those to fix it? All this politicians are same, from bottom to the top...

Life must be cruel with the inhabitants of this community, if by chance a young boy from this community find his way to Lagos, na bye bye be that... na their types Tinubu dey recruits for him agberoism company.. them full Oshodi well well... grin... I pray one big NGO company sees this thread or a big philanthropist, the story of that wretched community might just change for good.... undecided because waiting for government is like waiting for Amaka, they will surely disappoint except PO is elected...


Official corruption in Nigeria is why Ilu Aje Councillor would not build the drainage system, talk less portable water or electricity.

In 2015, the SW voted mostly for Buhari who had anti corruption mantra in his campaign messages. Official corruption heightened since 2015. In 2015, we told them that aged Muhammadu Buhari would be sleeping on his bed while the younger hawks steal Nigeria dry. They wouldn't listen.

Here we are in 2023, some of those people are still eyeing on the aged politicians in the two largest political parties to come and take over from president Buhari.

"Aje" in this context means trade.
As for witches and wizards, they are everywhere, in all villagers, towns and cities.

Some things don't need much explanation for you to know that the town's problem is spiritual. There's a strong satanic stronghold over the town. It will need cleansing before any attempt to restore it's glory. Whoever attempts to renovate or rebuild the town may end up dying from unknown circumstances. Take what I told you to the bank

According to Fatosa, “many politicians have come to do documentaries on the drainage but there has been no result”.

“When the election comes, our people still vote for them,” he said.

^^^
That's the problem in bold font up there. Some things never change.


natanyin:
“Bushes have overtaken our market. Nobody comes to do any transactions there because there are no good roads or electricity. The only primary school in the community is a Fulani children’s school. Indigenes have relocated their children to schools in neighbouring communities.”

I wonder what people gain from all this lies just to score cheap points.

Few years ago, I personally employed 3 guys in their late 20s from this said town working in my animal farm at ilora just 50 naira bike from ilu aje.
Ilora that the Op called bankless is just 5 minutes drive from Oyo town and most of its houses almost mixing up with oyo because they share boundary.
Now farm produce that they export from ilora weekly can feed the whole oyo state and that town is blessed with several multi millionaires and off course electricity, market, good houses and big churches (85% are Christian)
Now ilu aje is notoriously known for their JuJu practice so most of their youth stylishly claim ilora instead and reside there and oyo town because of civilization.
There's nothing you want in Oyo town that's not available or what do you expect from a place that have 5 higher institutions, a first class king and historical legacy.



Is it ilu aje land of the witches or ilu of prosperity? Because I no dey see any prosperity for their life for here.. grin

grin grin How is that worse than someone coming all the way from Abagana, passing through several states, to come and be claiming Lagosian and that Lagos is 'no man's land?'
Leave them.....South West didn't even share border with them...Oyo state landmass alone is almost the entire south east with 5 states yet they want additional one...One local government area is like the size of Anambra state. Despite Their 5 states collecting allocation given to one state,their region is still the most backward region in Nigeria behind north east region.
