Justiceleague1:
That dead on arrival thread where you were talking to and consoling yourself?

Consequent upon the recent concrete-form snap of the Pedestrian Bridge, at Gariki , Amaechi Awkunanaw , in Enugu South Local Government Area of Enugu State, which is under construction, the contractor handling the project, Barkindo Nigeria Ltd, has taken “absolute responsibility” for the unfortunate incident.

Don't teach ur people how to hustle continue looking 4 igbos to annihilate ,

humilitypays:
Shut up!


Two of them I know personally, they always come home. They built mansions in their home towns and their families visit home a lot.

Igbos are like Jews, no matter where they go, they never forget their hometown, if u doubt me, visit Anambra, Imo, Abia, Enugu, Ebonyi during Christmas period and see timbres and calibres returning from all parts of the world to their respective villages in Igbo land, its a culture and a way of life for the Igbos.


For your info, my own cousin is also rising fast in US Navy, currently in Japan since 3 years now for training, and from there he maybe heading to South Korea, etc.


We talk everyday. He tells me how he misses home just as I do too.


We Igbos don't forget our root. Even if you make us President of America, an Igbo man must find his way back to his village to pay homage.

Cosbyrich:
Are you an indigene of Lagos or you live around this place?
I did not even know the compounds were up to 20.Do you know the names of the others?

TAO12:
Thank you for finally admitting that the Itsekiris (who are Yorubas) gave you Olokun.

Even Etinosa1234 admits the Itsekiris are Yorubas. See where he admits it.

And you too have admitted it repeatedly before (until now?)

TAO12:
Do you not have any way to save Benin from me apart from you and Etinosa whose application for Lagos indigenship, before me, has been torn, crushed, burnt and trashed?

Engage my argument if truly you believe it's a lie.

Cosbyrich:

Thank you Cosby the Rich, you have raised a very important question which has some historical backgrounds


As someone who grew-up in Ebute-Metta and studied the History of the areas, these are my explanations;

1) Ebute-Metta was part of the Awori Kingdom of Otto with the Capital at Otto just before Iddo on the way to Lagos Island.

Ebute-Metta is a Yoruba meaning 'The three Harbours' i.e Iddo, Otto and Oyingbo.

In the olden days, the king, Oba Oloto of Otto controlled these harbour and had his agents collecting taxes from ships bringing goods to Lagos using those harbours.

2) Around 1850s, there was a great tension between the Christian community and adherents of Traditional Religion in Abeokuta which was on the verge of snowballing into a sectranian crisis.

On the eve of departure of some European Missionaries from Abeokuta, the native christian converts fearing that the dominant Traditionalists will descend on them in the absence of their European proctectors begged the Europeans to take them along to Lagos.

3) On getting to Lagos, the European Missionaries went to the King of Lagos to allocate land for the Egba Christians from Abeokuta but the king said Lagos was already being filled up and he couldn't afford to give the little available land to the Egba people. Instead he suggested that the Colonial Governor, John Glover contact his brother Oba (The Oloto) on the other side of Lagos, just across the Lagoon.

4) Gov Glover approached the Oloto, who agreed to give the Egbas a large tract of land from Oyingbo (Coaste Street) to Somewhere just before the lands of Yaba begins (Glover Street where LSDPC Estate was later built about 130years later).

I am so very grateful for this.I was born in Agbole Mogaji in Lagos Island.My father built a house at Olodeokuta street,surulere.I have transversed the whole of Surulere,Yaba,Ebutte Meta,Stadium,Ladipo(Mushin),Idi or,Moshalashi,Alakara etc.These are very vast areas.All these places are majorly dominated by the Yorubas just for Aguda where we have a lot of Igbos and Idi Araba where we have a lot of Hausas.Coming g to Ebutte Meta cum Yaba up to Unilag,very vast areas,I have seen some Hausa states names but I just wonder why we do not have Igbo states names, mind you,all of these places are dominated more than 90% by the Yorubas.As much as I believe your history because of the owners of houses and properties here,why do you think no street or road was named after any SE states in these vicinity, thanks?
It is all for knowledge which I can pass to my friends.

Goke7:
