Lagos was made by the Colonials using wealth from all over Nigeria.
In 1906, Sir Egerton amalgamated SW with SS and SE and moved the capital of the old Southern Nigeria (SE and SS) from Calabar to Lagos!

Before this period, Lagos wasn't more developed than other parts of Nigeria.

You not okay, you want to eat your cake and have it?
We will move once Nigeria divides and our commonwealth is no longer cornered by Lagos.
You know how much that enters to Lagos by being the only maritime gateway to Nigeria and the main airway gate ways?
All the major foreign investments meant for the whole country are all poured into Lagos for this same purpose too.
Once the country divides and Lagos stops feeding off the rest of the country, we will abandon it for you Yarribas so that you can turn it to Porto Novo standard.

I was seriously thinking you are better. Seems, I'm wasting time debating you. For you to say Yorubas, not even Lagos wasn't ahead of you way before 1914 means you are either a joke, your knowledge of history is not as robust as you portrayed it or you are a deliberate revisionist. All is historical fraud.
NB

Oh lest I forget, the Eastern Ports are there for Igbos to ship through what's stopping them, Onne Port is one of the most modern ports in West Africa.

You are backward.
Zik resided in Lagos and paid tax in Lagos. Lagos was Nigeria capital City.
If Nigeria was ever going to be a successful country, it needed to be one built on merit and not on tribal sentiments.
An India/Pakistan became prime minister of UK, recent Austrian migrant to USA in Schwarzenegger became governor of California.
If he was providing value to the land, and the people support him, why go about raising ethnic sentiments to put him down instead of argue on his competence to deliver or fail as an elected leader?

Awolowo set Nigeria on a slippery road of tribalism over merit and capacity, and that's where we are today .
That's how North chose Buhari over GEJ and that's how SW chose Tinubu over Obi, and that's why the country went backwards and continue going backwards.

You acting true to yourself, what stops Zik from allowing a Yoruba Man to fly the flag of NCNC to become a premier in South West? Because Igbos want to dominate others. Well it failed and you are pained , pained because others refused to be dominated by Igbos, you called it tribalism.
Maybe you should explain how Zik became Premier in the South East.

Funny coming from a Yariiba person, when all your commoners and elites have done since 2014 is demonize Igbos are spread Igbo hate, from Oba Lagos, to MC Oluomo, to Tinubu wife, to Onunagu, to KKF.
Your Igbo hate has been torrential and non stop,but somehow, you delusionally want Igbos to react to your hate with love, you must be joking. As a Yariiba man, look at the long vacuous post you made, yet you deliberately chose not to spell Igbo right.

There are Yariiba people in SE too, even in villages here. Lagos was developed using wealth from the whole Nigeria, so it's ridiculous you want to have it to yourselves while still staying attached to Nigeria.
Anyday you want Lagos to shrink to Porto Novo size in population and relevance, just declare your Oduduwa republic, let Lagos be limited to SW wealth, population and potential and see what happens.

Igbos are in Lagos because Yaribas have stayed glued to Nigeria to grow Nigeria,Igbos are in the North too and the rest of the world.
Your SW will be just like the rest of Yorubaland in Benin republic,once Nigeria stops existing, ie too small, economically irrelevant and insignificant to us.
Your chest beating means nothing to us. We don't want to share a country with you,when we divide,you can treat any Igbo that comes to your country the way you wish and under international laws, the rest of us wouldn't mind, so that you stupeed threat is childish, the world is Igbo adventure ground, SW is inconsequential in the large scheme of things in terms of our migration patterns, we will simply re channel to elsewhere with our investments.

I'm sure you don't believe what you just wrote. Why wait till Yoruba declare Oduduwa Republic, why not just return enmass back to the South East immediately?
I should remind you that Lagos was already economically developed more than any other part of Nigeria before the amalgamation.

tishbite41:
Yorubars should look for an independent Oduduwa Republic

That's our business, mind yours!

owobokiri:
What's the bitter truth..? You will never get it.. will you?
China is trying to force Taiwan back into the fold after capturing Hong-Kong and Macau. The same China is readying for a confrontation at the south China Sea. China is holding tight to Tibet and minority enclaves near India borders.. All these areas resent mainland China more than the minorities resent igbos

Russia went to war and decimated the insurrectionists at Chechnya. Chechnya was almost 100% infavout of independence from Russia. Putin didnt say "Oh, they dont like us that much, so we should allow foreigners to take over and dictate policies there in Chechnya'.. Russia went to war and cornered Cremea. Same Russia has now lost thousands of men fighting for portions of Ukraine for obvious geopolitical reasons.


The USA is talking up "The Gulf of America". .., wants to occupy Greenland and has basically surrounded her neighbours with pro America foreign policy thrusts. California, Texas them, New Mexico, at a point moat people in those areas would have voted to either be independent or join Mexico, but the federal forces said no. What does that tell you?

Even in the south-east of today, many in Ebonyi are confused as to where they should lay their loyalty! So what should we do with them? Discard them too as we want to discard the Ibibios and Anangs? People we have lived with and married with for years before the coming of the white man.. All these while the fulani are still fervently stuck with their nebulous "Hausa/fulani" fake identity card?

Ethiopia went to battle few months back to force back a break away region into the fold.
South Sudan that has a lot of tribal groups that resent the dominant madingas are at war today to keep their territories safe.

And some of you close minded so called igbos are busy worrying yourselves about inanities. So what if the minorities complained? Are they not human beings? If they don't like the way things are run and want some autonomy, what's wrong with that? Are you going to replace British colonialism with igbo colonialism?

They want some autonomy? Give it to them but have them in the fold, since they are all so small that if they form independent states, they will easily be hyjacked by some outside forces who can use them as a launching pad to influence politics and life in say Biafra. There are many igbo haters there? Yes! But there are also many igbo lovers there. Just as the federal government empowered that hateful bunch amongst them, you should try and empower those who are pro east/Biafra.., then use them to achieve your political goals. It is that simple..

Y'all are small thinkers..

And you are proud of all those needles wars. In other words you already saying you will force the southern minorities to join your doomed Biafraland, of course the minorities knew this already and that informed why they are aligning with other regions in Nigeria and not the Igbos, you guys haven't given them the confidence to join mirage country.

gidgiddy:
Nigeria is collosal waste of time. The sooner we do referendum and go our different ways, the better for all

This would have been possible, but blame your fore fathers for being short sighted.

pazienza:
What's your point?
Awolowo is the father of tribal politics, he never made it a secret that an Igbo man shouldn't be heading western region.
Awolowo motivation was purely tribal .

The intrigues that led to Eyo ita ousting were purely internal party rumbling. Eyo Ita was not ousted by Zik, Zik never had such power.
Eyo Ita simply went against Party policy alongside others including Igbos, they were expelled from the party, they formed a new party and they lost in the end.

You sound very ridiculous as your Zik to have ever contemplated an Igbo man ruling South West. What evidence do you need to validate the domination agenda from the Igbos.

Bittersweetnig:
so Una no go commend the governor for his kind gesture, tomorrow now, Una go still call him Yoruba bigot, I read all the comments, non mentioned that governor sanwolu try despite the recipient isn't a Yoruba tribe, but because you igbo people are very ungrateful, all you know is to complain and condemned because of Una criminal instincts

They will soon come to say the amount is not enough. Ungrateful souls.

Maxymilliano:
Can the poster share the content of the link attached which is quite different from the peddled narrative here

I'm sure you didn't read the link. It's saying the same thing. Stop lying like Natasha

Biodun1929:
The northern gameplan for 2027 presidential elections has begun.

With who? You don't understand Buhari a bit. He will never give commitment to anybody including Tinubu

Brendaniel:
Chief of army staff.

DSS Director

IGP

Head of NSCDC

Chairman of EFCC

Head of Immigration

Head of Customs

Then commander in chief of the armed forces.

Yet they cannot protect your people from Fulani herdsmen kiling them in your own land

I listed more than 5

What exactly is the excuse now?

What's the name of the Head of NSCDC?

Brendaniel:
What is the use of having a president and more than 5 security chiefs from Yoruba land that cannot protect Yoruba people from getting killed in Yoruba land by foreigners?

Are you people normal at all?

You are a liar. List the 5 Security Chiefs

Brendaniel:
When you are not even concerned that your people have all the power from president to security chiefs to help themselves and cannot, is that how worthless your lives are to each other?

See who is giving advice...

Na your people first threw stones, now you can't answer.

Brendaniel:
When you people will not allow ESN be?

The same soldiers fighting ESN are the same soldiers that will not lift a finger to fight for you people when Fulani herdsmen are killing you people in thousands and your brother is the president and 90 percent of the service chiefs in Nigeria are Yorubas...

Is an Igbo man president or holding any of these positions?

Are your lives so worthless to them that they derive joy in seeing you people die in thousands when they have all the power to help?

Just follow my advice

Brendaniel:
So that's why you want Fulanis to keep killing your people in thousands and taking over your lands... I can now see your reason why...

Have you retrieved Enugu from Fulani Bandits?
Remove the logs in your eyes first, we are dealing with Fulani in South West

confusedlady:
This has been the Ibo supremacist agenda from time immemorial.
Subjugation,appropriation and domination of other people's lands.
I just pity those Yoruba claiming to be woke like Rufai Oseni and Mr Macaroni who cannot see and understand the Ibo agenda. The ultimate target is Lagos by hook or crook. Azikiwe tried it but was resisted and opposed by Chief Awolowo. Ojukwu tried to use the quisling Victor Banjo during the civil war before Banjo had a rethink and realised that Ojukwu was using him to infiltrate his home land. This rethink was to cost Banjo his life.

What this so called professor has written in his epistle is just the mindset of a typical Ibo man.
The Yoruba need to wake up and smell the coffee!

Fifty of them can never dominate Yoruba, we are indomitable.
Over 400years, Yoruba survived slave trade in a far and strange land. Na Ibo that we civilized go come dominate us. Impossible, I know it's a joke sha.

And Ondo is still carrying dead bodies from government house to morgue. They haven't set up any committee till now.

Who committee go help? My counsel to communities is to form vigilante and do all it takes to secure themselves

honour7:
there are some ACs that don't cool every aspect of the room properly, if that is what the owner bought, then it should be replaced. People should learn to render services that was paid for. Which one is because the emvironment was hot that is why the AC does not cold. what is the function of AC again.

And does this justify the act?

Fuckyoumod:
Easy to form woke and write episodes when you are not the victim or loved one is a victim.

Chidinma won the most beautiful girl pageant in custody, chidinma was wearing make up and painted nails to court while her victim is rotten and cold in the grave. This is the justice system you are talking about?

Her victim had children and wive who will forever be affected by Chidinma's action.

Like I said, it's easy to sympathize and feel for murderers until you are their victim or your loved one is their victim.

An anonymous forum indeed. Sometimes you credit people with some level of exposure based on how good they write, but alas, you are wrong. How does jungle justice make sense to you?

hardbody:
While I detest jungle justice, this appeared well deserving. Action and reaction was equal and opposite. The killer could have gotten freedom or a lesser judgement by the courts. They can both continue their fight in the after life.

There must be no place for jungle justice. Those who took law into their hands should be arrested

Fuckyoumod:
if this story I read is true.
Then justice was done, the law has spoken.
The people must learn to bring justice, laws and order.
87% of Nigerians might not have faith in our criminal justice system.

Jungle justice is for the jungles not for human society. We must all submit to our legal system and must never take law unto ourselves. The culprit should have been handed over to the Police and subjected to the Justice system, found guilty and sentence to death and then executed
The problem with jungle justice is that a lot of the time innocent people falls victim.
It should be condemned

Seems people no longer believe in the rule of law again. Anarchy is looming. The culprit should have been handed over to the Law enforcement agency.
Police should arrest those who killed the second guy for murder.

Your argument is absurd and utterly detached from the reality of most Nigerians. Claiming that N1,500 still holds significant purchasing power is laughable. Yes, N1,500 might get you a meal in some parts of Lagos, but that’s in affluent areas like Lekki, not the rest of Nigeria where this amount barely covers transportation costs.

Your suggestion that minimum wage earners should be able to survive on N1,500 is a gross misrepresentation of reality. With inflation soaring, a minimum wage of N30,000 is inadequate for basic needs, let alone a decent meal. Fasua’s condescending remarks about “making difficult choices” ignore the crushing poverty that millions face.

His example of giving N1,000 to a security guard, while quaint, doesn’t change the fact that systemic poverty is rampant. It’s a cheap, feel-good gesture that doesn’t tackle the real issue.

The comparison to President Trump’s governance is nonsensical. Fasua is trying to deflect blame for Nigeria’s woes onto global events and leadership styles, while ignoring that the problem is domestic mismanagement. His “post-COVID recovery” excuse is just a lazy cover-up for ineptitude.

In short, Fasua’s views are a delusional attempt to sugarcoat Nigeria’s dire economic situation. His statements are more about deflection than addressing the real issues of poverty, inequality, and economic collapse.




After introducing poverty , now they are weaponizing it.

Mr Analyst, read what you wrote again. If you concede that N2,500 can indeed buy a meal in Lekki as you alluded to, then you have agreed to his point of argument that Naira is good for its current value

PresidObi:
“By 14th of this month, we’re going to be flagging off construction in the Calabar axis.”


So they have still not started the Calabar axis after lying about it in 2023?

Government of lies and propaganda.

Celebrate this one, you can then open another thread on Calabar end. You guys get sick with good news about Nigeria

Kwara North candidate was fielded by Saraki camp in 2019, but the Kwara North chose to support Abdulrasak instead of their own. Their eyes don't clear
