Luckysbab:
State creation was done to weaken Igbo influence?

Why are you guys just this foolish and deluded.

You make idiotic claims and indulge in excessive self adulation.

Among all 250+ tribes in Nigeria, the Igbo nation suddenly takes center stage in decision making? Are you drunk or what!

Actually Gowon said it himself. He created the first 12 states remember?
I know that people have exaggerated things here, but the state creation claim is correct. Plus you guys chest beat as much as us too. The thread was to celebrate Enugu, not to insult anyone. Who threw the first insult? Your people!

Cantonese:
And the people nko?
You be real Ebubu.

if you are igbo, you just fell for trash. Can't you realise when a Yoruba person is trying to stoke discord!

Osoboshi:
can u list the others with pics.Thumbs up for been civil

the Estate can count in the top 10. Don't mind my friend who was exaggerating. However there are more beautiful estates.
1. Zoo Estate
2. Centenary city estates
3. Independence layout estates.


I say estates in 2 and 3 because there are more than 1 estate in those areas. Golf Estate is old now and so many new estates sprang up under gburugburu

Golf Estate. But some of the roads in the Estate needs resurfacing

SyrusdeHansome:
What if she first de man die? God knows i can never marry a 40 yrs old woman no matter how wealthy she is. Marriage is not a poverty alleviation program so marrying for financial security shouldn't be encouraged in any way.

Marriage can serve many purposes including Financial, Social and Emotional purposes. The old man wants soft companionship in exchange for Financial security. A fair exchange.

Reckless talk that will cost him his seat. The very first thing new APC members do is to take an unnecessary swipe at Igbos. See Reno, see FFK, see Umahi, now even Uba.
How does Lagos that contains about 10% of Igbo population now account for 80% of its wealth?
Reckless talk that will cost him his seat

pandoragirigory:
They are protected ruling party

Is this the type of country you guys want? Remember you may find yourself not in a ruling party tomorrow

Samantha124:
Lol... This is funny... If you want me to leave nairaland like it's your family business and you're the major shareholder, then come and take all your people from my country first and I'll leave...

The truth is bitter and I'm not going anywhere...

from the stats here, there is probably more South Africans in Nigeria than Nigerians in SA.

TMKsouth:
So its unpleasant having a foreigner coming into your space and being ill-disciplined? Okay!

Yes you are being very rude and Ill disciplined. If you think Nigerians in SA are the same, then how do you fight them without appearing as a hypocrite.

rash47:
I have no one single hate for SE , God almighty knows. Like buhari will say, 'if you are no longer interested in this union, tell your elected representatives to raise a motion of secession or referendum in the national assembly.' But will the leaders do such? NO.

Anything short of this step will Led to anarchy as we are seeing today.

A rep member from SE talked about Biafra and referandum in the house of representatives sometime back and he was ruled out of order. What type of democracy is that. I still subscribe to getting Biafra through NASS but I also subscribe to some form of force as a back up to diplomacy. So yea I agree with IPOB and I agree with you.

TMKsouth:
Yes because we've made it difficult for you to come in and stay. Plus you went on a media frenzy because your people were being executed, including diplomats . Let's hope your money is legit or you'll follow in the footsteps of your predecessors. One thing i like about SA is it always follows through.

you are happy diplomats were being executed? Wow! How low have you gone? You started well on this forum but now you are nothing but a base animal worse than what he is fighting

rash47:
Use ya head, guy is a yahoo freedom fighter . You see his designer pyjamas?

Heart attack, we just dey pity you like the case of kanu that used ipob funds to travel far for one night stand. A fighter should be in the forefront ....

You have no pity or love for SE and Igbos. You rather want to ridicule us. You guys just hoped the imprisonment of Kanu will kill the agitation. It didn't. You wish Ekpa will be arrested. He won't.

TMKsouth:
Which businesses are these though Mr Quack SA Expert? You can't even name well-known major Nigerian businesses but you're adamant you know everything at street level even though u dont live in SA.

Take it from someone in SA - Nigerians run illicit underground business that no South African would want to get involved in. When impoverished SA people are complaining, they're talking about Ethiopians and Somalis - not you.

This is your speciality, hence the terrible reputation ⬇️

https://thenationonlineng.net/dangerous-lifestyles-nigerian-hustlers-south-african-enclave/

There are around 500 thousand Nigerians in UK. We have not heard of any bad reputation there. They go to school, work as professionals, keep their noses clean. About 600 thousand NIGERIANs in U.S. no major scandals or bad reputation.
I live in Australia with about 40 thousand Nigerians. No bad reputation.
Why only south Africa? And why are you in particular so rude? Do you feel you have been a good ambassador of your country here? Do you think you are not being hypocritical because you are a well known South African bigot in a forum that is 99% made up of Nigerians. Even the second largest population in nairaland would be Ghanians

walefresh3:
stop decieving your GUILIBLE self... Igboland is a complete shithole....

If I show u anambra u go Cry....

Tell your zombies to stop trooping like economical refugees to the West....

I don't want fake comparism...

Lagos not 'the west' the rest of your 5 states are dirty and tattered. Lagos is also nasty but has money because of the contribution of all ethnic groups

walefresh3:
olodo, Lagos was just only capital for 30 years ... Stop spreading LIES

so can you tell us the capital from 1914 to 1960?

Yoruba leaders are so obsessed with Igbos. Look at a sitting judge talking like a tribal bigot, calling a custom they are not part of as barbaric. You will never hear any igbo leader talk about Yorubas as a tribe.
But we have heard oba of Lagos, ooni of ife, tinubu's wife, mc oluomo etc all use derogatory words on igbos

walefresh3:
stop praising that FAILURE that couldn't revive anambra state... Till now anambranians are trooping to Lagos like economical refugees...
Pls tell me what stop obi from developing anambra state or turning it to production State ?

Una lie no dey work again...

If I show u the real anambra u go cry

the list of Nigerian states by GDP shows that Anambra is richer than every core Yoruba state. We all know that without being capital for 76 years, Lagos would be another shít Yoruba state. Also the compiler of the stats is a Yoruba man too so no ojoro

Solsix:
Anambra population is more than that biko

unlikely. 4.1 million is actually a large number. That is the population of Liberia and near double the population of Jamaica

triple996:
Which means kano, Kaduna, oyo, lagos and port Harcourt are all richer than these countries. 9ice if true

Rivers and Lagos yea. The rest, no!

richmond500:
He is not igbo, whether he decides to tell the universe his name or not does not matter

I'd advice you to travel to the SS region, it will do you some good when you know that there are people who doesn't see the need for tribal recognition due to how entagled the different tribes are.
There is little descrimination here among etnicities, therefore the need to start shouting your tribe is a nuisance to most of us and we have taken that life outside our comfort zones.

I had two roommates in school who was with me from 100level till final year, we are all from Rivers but I never knew what part of Rivers they came from until we graduated because it never mattered to us, as long as we knew that we are from Rivers State, that enough to consider ourselves as brothers.
2moro, if you as an igbo man asks me for my tribe, I will tell you it is not necessary, you might see me as some weird person, so will i see u as one, but the truth is our different cultures treats it differently.
Cultural diversity is the beauty of Nigeria and we should learn to see the beauty that try to descriminate.

I don't care for much of what you wrote. But you see the bolded, it's a lie. Cultural diversity is not the beauty of Nigeria. The beauty of Nigeria is oil. Cultural diversity is the bane of Nigeria

WesternPanzer:
Am an Igbo man. But May God empower you more Sanwo OLU! Show no mercy. Anyday you stop the destruction, may death amd destruction never depart from your family and that of your supporters in Jesus mighty name. Amen.

These recent developments all over Nigeria is quite commendable. I cannot even build one factory in any other state that is not Anambra not to talk of going beyond Eastern Region. I dey mad? At least if the property and assets dey my papa land, come and harass me in it.

You will see God for judgement in 1 second.

Nothing gives me joy everyday than the pulling down of so called Igbo structures and markets in Lagos. If possible, the usual miscreants from that region should burn them as they usually do. I prayed everyday for this and God seems to be answering.

I really wish Sanwo Olu can destroy Computer village, ASPAMDA, LADIPO and Alaba. Those markets are meant to be in Eastern region. Asin totally destroy them. Some Ndigbo need to have sense.

I have one of my Anambra brothers who has over 20 estates in Lagos alone. 15 are all on the island alone... LIKE WHAT DA HELL? On another mans region?

Abandon property of old did not teach you people anything? Unu abudi iddiot? Chukwu kpoo unu oku dia.

Another very stupid Igbo man from same Anambra has over 40 houses in Ogba and Ojodu berger. The way this man was investing into properties even got me scared. But this same iddiot has only 2 buildings in the East. What a buffon!

Such volume of Real Estate should be in your village in the East even if its not yielding money! Build and abandon it there in the East!

You get mind dey develop another man region? Dey call am no man's land? Are you an iddiot? Don't you think of our future generations who will come in 100 years time?

Ndi Igbo All over the world, continue developing Lagos and Nigeria inugo? Umu MPAMA! You see these things all over the forum saying all sorts about your region and you think they don't mean it?

Don't learn vital lessons and turn EASTERN REGION TO AN ECONOMIC POWER HOUSE. We don't need those people... BELIEVE ME. At the right time, they will come begging.

Honestly Sanwo Olu should continue with the destruction of all Igbo properties both LEGAL and ILLEGAL. There is something we are looking for.

If They runaway from the destruction of Igbo properties they started, may death and destruction never depart from their families and lineage in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.

there are various ways of looking at it. Lagos is an economic hub and melting point. Indians from various villages also move to Mumbai and Delhi to settle and build. Chinese from various villages move to shanghai. Nigeria shouldn't be different. If an Igbo man goes to ibadan to build then you can say this and I will support it.
Also the demolishion may also have affected other ethnicities including yoruba

diplomat058:
Show me one post where I insult Igbos. You can only see me getting at impersonators and bigots. I don't do bigotry; instead, i do healthy rivalry which is the bedrock of any viable competition for growth.

I understand from your signature that you are a self acclaimed Igbo unification advocate looking for some lost love of oil-wood brotherhood. That shouldn't deter you from verifying the authenticity of what I said to, at least, come to a true self realization of your region

Cheers!

I have told you what I have told you. If you like don't hear.

diplomat058:
Which world class infrastructure? Ebonyi that probably has an 80% poverty rate and locked in generational debt. What's the debt to IGR ratio in the state? In fact, what's the IGR itself. Both present and future commitments were made off fed allocations, just to build some flyovers to brag and you are here applauding him? Governance is a joke when clowns like you think this way. I served in Ebonyi, and the situation there is beyond pathetic

Lol you served in Tokyo. Someone like you that run around insulting igbos all day will admit that anything good came from igboland?
Be careful before you show this hate in the wrong place and pay dearly for it
