Why is it only these South Eastern/South Southern celebrities that are being attacked?

A well scripted Nollywood performance, perhaps!

cause they are being targeted!
dumbfuck

eskuvoisrael:
Calaba was the first capital of Nigeria, before it was moved to Lagos in 1906

Nigeria didn't exist in 1906

Echoban:


See his head like Everybody's property Why no claim lokoja, Calabar and Abuja as ur property. Ode

Abuja is no man's land

lokoja?
was lokoja ever capital of Nigeria?

Lanretoye:
Where are the hypocrites?...those ones now will soon relocate to Lagos and still come and constitue nuisance.calabar also was a capital city before lagos,so is calabar also everybody's property?,dunce...oya goan claim Abuja too,I don't know how you feel when u reason like a pig.

calabar was never the capital of Nigeria

Lagos remains no man's land
even the Oba of Lagos said Lagos isn't Yoruba land you can Google it

Good news for my Igbo brothers

[quote author=famouscargo4u post=116603434][/quote]


tinubu that collects Lagos taxes for 22 years nko?

at least obi didn't steal the money and has left anambra alone ,man isn't even collecting any form of gratuity of payment for his term as governor ,that's the character of someone that's not greedy unlike tinubu that massively increased his pension from Lagos and is still stealing from its coffers till date


so u have a frugal , relatively clean man and u have a shady corrupt human being

famouscargo4u:
Obi should stop been petty. He never said he lost everything. He said his house was ransacked and looted. Investments he had in the UD were still there. Campaign should be issues-based.

nonsense, the issue is tinubu's wealth is questionable


what investments did he have? stocks?

Nigeria's major problem is corruption, it kills the entire system, but u want someone that is probably the most shady politician in Nigeria to be president??

under Mr integrity that we didn't see coming snake swallows money, what would we see under this thief we see coming

Vulturereloaded:


And first class selling drugs in a developed country? Isnt that a disgrace to first class?

Imagine a 3rd class making genuine wealth in a 3rd world country, while a first class is selling drugs in 1st world.

Peter obi is a 2nd class Philosophy graduate don't fall for propaganda

JewsAreSatanic:


Please, bypass the south south.

We are very much a somebody's land and don't want you coming here to claim developer and later ownership.

Go back to your Biafra Alaigbo and leave the Niger Delta out of your future migration exodus plans .

Thank you.

Igbos are already indigenous to south south regions
are u being daft on purpose?

Arkmanbuddy:
Where else do you want them to go, the East? Your governments have refused to develop the region and you're asking your brothers to leave a region they're most profitable in for the AfghanEastern to be killed or maimed in their own land of nativity!

---

To be honest OP, you're not wise. If your people wanted to leave the SW, they would have done so long before now, or would've started the process but they just can't. The major reason they can't is because 'home' is underdeveloped and a death trap! You cannot even compare states in the SE to Shagamu! It's that bad, bro, and you know it.

---

---

So, brother, focus your anger on your leaders who're not doing enough to develop the region and make it conducive for your brothers to come home.

someone that has never left ogbomosho In his life is talking about se

u should have let them go in 1967 since they are so bad nau

femisplash:

Why are Igbos so daft. Aside drugs, what else can you do with your brains. Never have you had the mental capacity to read & understand.
Did you read that the development of industrial estates of other divisions were never originally part of Lagos until they were carved into Lagos State in 1967?.. Did you know they were part of Ogun state until Gowon carved them as part of Lagos?.. So, how did were they developed by the federal when they weren't part of federal capital?.
I just want to understand your ipob sense.

ur the daft one that can't understand that awolowo ruled the western region for too short a period compared to those places being part of federal capital from 1967-1991
anything awolowo did is too insignificant compared to that, not to mention that Lagos mainland would have been developed even during awolowo's rule due to close proximity to Lagos island, not to mention the ports there

zaki2:

Yes, we keep on standing, but when a group of people makes it clear to you they don't want you, over and over again, it is wisdom to leave their space.

they didn't do that in 1967 when we told them we didn't want them, they wanted our oil and fought us and shed innocent blood.

well years later we ain't listening to them we want their lands ain't going nowhere
they wanted one Nigeria?? they have it!!!

zaki2:
There is a particular tribe that has made it their live mission to hate ndi Igbo. In fact some of them are threatening fire and brimstone, if and when the time comes. It is not today. Their leaders have echoed it over and over.

Igbos are domiciled all over Nigeria, doing their business, but these group of people have made us believe that it is only in their land Igbos are in large numbers and prospering. Oke na,we accept you are the most accommodative tribe, but why were you guys so vocally against Biafra, during the peak of IPOB movement? Only God knows the bitterness and grudges these guys hold against our people. For a minister of God to open her mouth and threatened to invoke deities, then you should know what goes on in their mind. For out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks.

But the simple solution to this problem is number one, Igbos should quit in any political discussion that has to do with this region. Don't even show any preference for any of their candidates. Those of us supporting Obi, kindly go about your business, on the day of election, vote your conscience and move on. Enyele ha efe. Don't even engage any of them on any political debate for any reason.

Secondly, is it not high time you heed to the eku ruo ulo principle? The civil war should be enough lesson. Some of our parents lost homes... Why not start relocating your business back home. If you think the East is not enough, what about North Central? What of South South states, like Akwa Ibom, Calabar, Port Harcourt. If you concentrate your businesses in these area, that will motivate property development in these areas.
We already have international Airport in Port Harcourt, Asaba, Anambra etc. The Calabar, Ibom seaport is enough to service your businesses.
Leave the South West for your own good. Lagos is not the only city under heaven. We in the East, are running our shows and making money without stepping out, so why shouldn't you? Leave Lagos, la mmadu nuru ive. The noise from these guys is becoming too much and annoying.

But I never stop asking myself, why the hate? Igbos have never attacked you for any reason. We have never undermine your region through the act of terrorism. We rather buy lands and build. We contribute to your revenue, no matter how small. Unlike some that have attacked you severally in your farms, in Mile 2, Ketu, Ibadan, etc. Even killed one of your prominent daughter. Recently, a Church was attacked, and worshipers gunned down in their number, in Iwo, Ondo State.
Igbos go about their business, without upsetting any settings, yet this toxic hate. Why
Ndi Igbo, to be forewarned is to be... Leave the South West for your own good.

This is not an easy task, but the journey of a thousand league begins with a step.

lol
we won't leave anywhere

Igbos have shed blood for this country to exist like this , development is made across the country using money made across the country especially ss/se

so therefore as long as Nigeria exists ndigbo is free to do business everywhere, if the country later divides then we cross that bridge but u cannot tell an Igbo man to limit himself because of somebody else's hate


they can only talk and vex, we'll keep buying their ancestral lands, living and thriving everywhere

so leave those fools online the entire country is urs, anybody that has a problem can meet Gowon with an ak47 and join ipob

everybody knows that tinubu's origin story started in Chicago in 1970s where he mysterious appeared there from thin air , anything b4 that...

so we should fry stone?

ezechi242:
If you observe, without any form of bias the Igbo's are the 3rd most populouse tribe on planet earth after the Chinese and Indians.we have indigent Igbo's in most countries in Africa.

nawao

Rahman2330:
Niger state have - Minna, Suleja, Bida and Mokwa

minna is not the capital of Niger?

ForumNL:
Let us know other areas in your state that are developed aside your state capital

We have a long way to go in developing Nigeria...

Onitsha, aba, warri

these are places that have some development and not state capital

Buckeyemedia1:
Nonsense, why didn’t Awolowo develop Ibadan the capital of Western Region like Lagos?

Obafemi Awolowo & Bola Tinubu, the 2 greatest political criminals turning state funds & assets to personal assets in the history of Nigeria.

exactly awolowo didn't develop anywhere else its now Lagos

so it's awolowo that developed Lagos not tinubu again?

Jogideen:
There was no Lagos state in 1960. What we had was Lagos Federal Capital (former Lagos Colony).

That is the problem when leaders deliberately muddle things up for the young ones.

Lagos Capital of 1960 was Isale Eko, Victoria Island, Ikoyi, and part of Apapa.

Ketu, Ojota, Somolu, Bariga, Yaba, Isolo, Ikeja, Alimosho, Ipaja, Ikorodu, Epe, Lekki, Ajah, Badagary, Mushin, and Agege were all in Western State.

Lagos state was only created in 1967. And let me tell you the callous intention of what Gowon did in creating Lagos State.

Obafemi Awolowo created industrial estates in Ikeja, Isolo, Iganmu, Ilupeju, and co when those places were in Western State.

Gowon simply merged the industrial estates Awolowo created with Lagos Colony to form Lagos State in 1967. Awolowo created that industrial estate with cocoa money.

Lagos State is made up of 5 districts Ikeja, Badagry, Ikorodu, Lagos (Isale Eko), and Epe. Only one was Lagos Colony from 1914 to 1960. And that is Lagos Island. The remaining 4 districts were in Western Region.

So when those Ibos tell you their usual trash that they made Lagos or that Lagos was a former capital or that Lagos is no man's land, please don't join them.

What took my dad to Lagos was the industrial estate Awolowo created, not the federal capital. The same is the story for over 90% of the people in the state today.

This picture was taken on Carther Bridge, the only bridge linking Lagos Colony to Western Region. It was after Ojukwu attempted to blow it up that Awolowo facilitated the building of the Eko Bridge in 1975. Awolowo as the finance minister and de-facto number 2 to Gowon revolutionized the infrastructural development of the new Lagos state.

The generation of ungrateful Igbos contributed nothing, absolutely nothing to the development of Lagos. But they are the ones instigating you guys against your people. Lagos fed them. _Amun ni ilu Eko._ It never dries, it feeds everybody.

Look around Lagos State today, all you see are the works of Awolowo and Tinubu. After God who created Lagos strategically, Awolowo and Tinubu made it what it is today. Know this and know peace.

Copied.

nonsense how long did awolowo rule western region with Lagos mainland, how long was Lagos state created and mainland joined to be federal capital , when was Ikeja made Lagos state capital ?


24 years!!! that's the answer
that's how long the mainland was capital along with Lagos island that has been Nigeria's capital since 1914

Lagos state island and mainland owes its development to majorly being a former capital and port city any other thing na cap

just look at FCT (abuja) today, the bushland of yesterday is dragging IGR with Rivers

Felimax:
Perhaps the same change APC promised that took us to where we are today.

Obi has said so many things but has not been able to tell how he will solve our national issues.

If you don't have anything tangible to say just getat.

u haven't watched enough of his interviews

apc urchins: ipob youth


every day they try hard to make this a tribal thing

insulting Igbo people, hoping they'd retaliate and make this a tribal war to suite their political calculations


but they fail to realize that we know that bad leadership reaches everywhere

just like obasonjo didn't in particular do anything for sw or Jonathan to ijaws or SS , and buhari definitely hasn't helped the NW

a president from ur region doesn't particularly do jacksh!t for u ( except maybe a sense of belonging if u lack that)
Because Good leadership is good leadership for all and bad leadership is bad leadership for all

ElSudani:


Obasanjo said Tinubu is "a brilliant governor with brilliant ideas" why do you think he said that?
The Federal government under Obasanjo withheld money due to Lagos, yet Obasanjo couldn't hide his respect for him.
And here you are, an ordinary internet troll questioning what Tinubu did in Lagos.

peter obi has awards from his governance in anambra
awards that say his was the best governor of those years, where are tinubu's awards??

lexylaw40:
ITS LAGOS vs ANAMBRA next year.... can't wait to see who will win this LAGOS vs ANAMBRA match

Lagos former capital vs anambra

post 1967 pics of Lagos and 1967 pics of anambra and you'd know the difference between them historically


Lagos should be compared with other cities in the world where it was ranked 171 out of 172


not comparing to other states in Nigeria that it has always been better than due to its historical advantages

if u think tinubu made Lagos the way it is then tell me which state has ever been better than Lagos at any point in time b4 tinubu came and "made" Lagos

PandoraObi:
If you disrespect your parents, only few people will care but if you disrespect others people's parents, you will be chide heavy, portable, osun, APC Yoruba branch are all yorubas, Igbos are not supposed to speak in derogatory manner to the sage, but Kanu nnamudi can give orders for destruction of Lagos properties

the log in ur eyes is too big for u to be removing specs in others


ojukwu that has been insulted regularly?

and as for the endsar a great many, if not majority of businesses destroyed were Igbo businesses

ur trying to distort facts

the aftermath of endsars involved a lot of touting and general stealing

PandoraObi:
Because you speak Yoruba doesn't make you Yoruba, Fulani and Hausa also speak yoruba, even not because you are born by Yoruba parents make you Yoruba, but your interest in the development and growth of Yoruba nation, Kanu Nnamdi agitation against buhari administration was because igbo was marginalized because there was no one to speak for them, now the agitation of Biafra has metamorphoses to Peter Obi the president candidate, they are not talking about Kanu Nnamdi, Biafra and Simon Ekpa again? do you want the same for Yoruba if you are interest of Yoruba, do you want for Peter Obi the igbos that Kanu Nnamdi ordered to destroy Lagos properties during endsars? the same igbos that maligned awolowo peddling baseless lies against him despite it was Azikiwe betrayed him? do you want the same Igbos that called Osinbajo Osinbade because he is Buhari administration whereas they protect and lord mbaka for doing the same thing? do you want the same Igbo that called Lagos no man's land? what will happen to Osun Ekiti Oyo Ondo Ogun state, do you know igbos were trying to overthrow King of Akure before he stopped them, pastor kumuyi crusade was stopped in aba because he was a Yoruba man, Akinwunmi Adeshina was mocked and ridiculed by Igbos when he was investigated by US, the same set of people are humiliating Tinubu, the only strong politician we have in south west and you are joining them, think what will become of Yoruba land before you take stupid decision.

I don't even know where to begin


first of all Lagos is no man's land
the Oba of Lagos himself said Lagos can't be counted as Yoruba land


second the insults are going round Yorubas insult Igbo people and vice versa Dont have the strength to type examples, also the Yoruba has benefitted from politics in Nigeria, a president and vice president, not to mention federal infrastructure , and having a close proximity to a port city like Lagos, se/ss travel hundreds of kilometers for that

equity states power comes to SE

the Yorubas don't have any problems stop crying
ijaws that produce most of the oil in this country where they at? Again Yorubas Dont have any problems ,politically or infrastructure wise compared to SS/SE

lexylaw40:
Let's face it now or never.... considering the tribal politics we play in Nigeria and Africa as a whole ,Pls can anyone give me reasons Igbos believe Hausas and fulanis in their right senses will vote for Peter Obi an Igbo man

suffer no dey tire them?




is the reason

omenka:
You, your brothers and Obi should all get out. How well did he rescue Anambra that he and his idiotic acolytes think they could rescue Nigeria?

Never seen such people my entire life. Y'all should first rescue Alaigbo from terrorism before thinking about rescuing Nigeria from same.

Nonsense.

obi has actually done a lot for anambra

unlike ur kleptomaniac that hasn't done anything but using achievements of Lagos to hold its treasury

seems like there is a one sided reporting of crimes committed by igbos because other tribes are definitely committing crimes like this on a regular

Epurogonogono:

Bigots would soon invade this thread.



Rest in peace to the departed.

what bigots?
when u see em tell me
then ud know tribalism on nairaland is too one sided

Altruisticboy:


You lied. Who is / are The Afonjas

afonja is a Yoruba man, used to signify betrayal
yes its an insult but a weak one
and that term has being fading out here since
should I list the insults for Igbos prevalent here?
