Igbos.... always beating chest n lieing.....yiboe built lagos...but not true...Igbos only started coming to lagos like forty yrs ago.........even after ijaws......n...urhobos etc........ ....

anoda lie is Igbos r industrous people but truth be told....in the formal sectors...yoruba dominate...banking, multinationals, plcs...telecoms....media.....you onli see Igbos in informal sectors like prostitution...illegal drugs..kidnapping....spare parts.....ok they try in nollywood...but Igbos know how to lie to demselves...they even start believing their lies....already some Igbos r claming they won d civil war.....

dis is the reason why......a 12 yr old yiboe boy is already planning hot to run from yiboeland to Oshogbo n sell gala on d street....after...he will tell u that he is d landlord in Oshogbo...

Dangote, Otedola and Adenuga na Igbo don't mind those yamiri boiz.

If oba of lagos apologize to the yamiri he must be a bastard.

The claim that the igbo helped to develop Lagos is hogwash. The
major institutions of the south-west were developed by the
diligence, hard-work, industry and sweat of the yoruba people.
This is a historical fact, the facts are clear and the records speak
for themselves. I will go no further than that because it is about
time that Nigerians learnt to do their own research and studied
their own history. I will not allow the mob mentality or emotion
becloud my thinking or intimidate me into distorting the truth.
The igbo had little to do with the development of Lagos between
1890 uo till today and that is a fact. Other than Ajegunle, Computer
Town, Alaba and buying up a few market stalls in Isale Eko where
is their input? Meanwhile the yoruba and Lagos were very
gracious to them and not only allowed them to return after the civil
war to claim their properties and jobs but we welcomed them with
open arms and allowed them to flourish in our land. This is
something that they have never done for our people in the east.
Now some of them have the effontry to call our land and the land of
our forefathers (I am half Lagosian and was brought up in Lagos)
''no-man's land'' and others have the nerve to assert that up to 50
per cent of the development in Lagos came as a consequence of
the input of the igbo. This is utter rubbish.
Those that do not know any better ought to go and learn rather
than vent their hostilities and ignorance against me here. I am not
a tribalist but a great believer in Nigeria and a historian. I will not
distort the facts of history just to keep some people happy. The
history of the yoruba and of Lagos particularly is very well known
to me and the fact that Lagosians and the yoruba generally are so
generous and accomodating in their ways and to non-indegenees
that settle in their territory should not be mistaken for stupidity or
weakness. We know our history, we know who we are, we know
who and what developed our land and made it into what it is and
we urge thosethsat yearn to be like us to go and emulate our
efforts and attitude to non-indigenees and hard work in their own
state of origin.
I have nothing against m fellow Nigerians from other parts of the
country and I have proved over and over again that I love Nigeria
and that I am a Nigerian before anything else. However if, in the
twisted imagination of some speaking the truth about the history
and development of Lagos makes me a tribalist, then tribalist I am.
Servants of truth do not fear such labels and are often hated and
misunderstood. If I was worried about what others though of me I
would have stopped writing essays long ago.
Meanwhile permit me to recommend to all and sundry to read and
learn from the following words of an insightful aburo by the name
of Mr. Sina Fagbenro-Byron. He has had the courage to analyse
the matter in a very honest, clear and forthright manner and he has
spoken the truth. Let us hope that those that have no knowledge of
that truth are humble enough to learn from it. He wrote-
''It has become a recent habit by a number of our young Igbo
brethren to refer to Lagos as a 'no-man's land. The great Zik,
Mbadiwe, Mbonu Ojike, Ajuluchukwu, Opara etc would never have
made such statements as they knew better. It is not only unfair but
in extremely bad taste apart from the fact that it is historically
false. How can you call a land that has had over 400 years of
traditional rulership and cultural definition as a no man's land.? It
shows contempt for the indigenes, ingratitude of hospitality and a
betrayal of ones host. The late Herbert Macauley( a Yoruba
Lagosian) on his dying bed endorsed Zik as successor leader of
the NCNC because of his nationalism, intellectual sagacity and it
was endorsed by a group of Yoruba elders and not by any Igbo
population who is anycase were infinitesimal as at the time, for
Chinua Achebe records in his book, and we can roughly confirm
that there were not more than a few thousand Igbos in Lagos
before the civil war. So after having been received, accomodated
by their host Yorubas since the 1940s a generation that is ignorant
of history and careless of historical relationship refer to Lagos as
no mans land, this attitude is the cause of the perenial Jos crisis
amongst others. When the military stopped the teaching of history
in schools in the 1980s, we knew that by allowing them we courted
confusion, but it was deliberate. Up til1968 , Mushin, Apapa, Ikeja,
were all part of the Western Region. The English treaty was with
the Oba of Eko Ile,(Lagos). Lagos traditional families all are
Yoruba and the founder of Eko was Ogunfunminire who migrated
from Ife before the 16th century. Lagos traditional Obaship was
confirmed on behalf of the Oduduwa dynasty. If we consider it
unfair to call Igbo property 'abandoned property' after the civil war,
why should they refer to another mans backyard as no man's land.
Lagos had been the commercial nerve center of West Africa befor
Nigeria was created and this was attributable to the welcoming
attitude of coastal Yorubas, which was first betrayed by the
Portugese who introduced slave trade, the Kiriji war and the 100
year Yoruba civil war of 1769-1869 also saw a huge population
from the other Yoruba Hinterland moving to Lagos to procure salt,
guns,seek out their frred slave brethren etc and these led to the
growth of Lagos. Since independence and after the civil war other
Nigerians have made Lagos a home for themselves , but none have
been so unkind as to call Lagos a no mans land. Igbos who say
this and claim credit for the development of Lagos shouls
remember that the first Industrial Estate in Nigeria was built by
Awolowo in Ikeja as Premier of the West and the Western house on
Broad street has significant historical importance. I would urge my
Igbo brethren not to make true the words of Sardauna when he
described the Igbos as having a tendency to come in as visitors
and seek to claim ownership to the excusion of indigens, if Onitcha
or Abakaliki is not no mans land why should Lagos be. Imagine
how our Niger Delta brethren will feel if we refer to their space on
God's earth as no mans Land?''
Fagbemi-Byron has hit the nail on the head and I wholeheartedly
commend him. Frankly I could not have put it better myself. How I
wish that more of those that are in the younger generation today
would indulge in the type of research and scholarship that this
young man has obviously done. He, and those that value truth and
knowledge like him, are the true Nigerians and thankfully there are
many like him in every tribe and nationality in this great country.
May God grant them the courage to speak out and cure the
ignorant of their ignorance."
