Here we go again with this yeye talk that Jagaban made Lagos what it is. That's a bollocks lie, Lagos is what it is because of Nigeria. Lagos success is hinged upon Nigeria and not the other way around. If Tinubu never was the governor of Lagos, Lagos will still be what it is. Commercial capital city of the country is a product of a governor's technical know-how, it's the endless contribution of Nigeria's population that makes Lagos what it is
No lie you wrote this cos you hate him

Well it is dangerous to see genuine inquiry as racist. How could accepting or denying his Igboness be "racist" I do not get that, Why??
Indeed I agree that it is dangerous to see genuine inquiry as racist, save that this particular friend was my best friend for twenty years and I know him very well. He believes in superior master races and the like, believes in Caucasian superiority, believes also particularly that the ibo have no history of note. I thus knew all too well where his disputation regarding Olaudah's origins arose from.

I find it strange that he remembers he is Eboe or Igbo but does not remember his own name or the name of any significant person from his family or clan
or any Igbo words, Not one?
It raises questions about "false memory" or confabulation but like I said I am only guessing

Also I know that many Igbo groups as we know them today did not identify as Igbo" even as recently as 1914 or later e.g . Ngwas
so I would be surprised that a small child from 200 years ago remembers he is "igbo" I would have expected a more local Identity based on clan
It could be as you say, it could also be that there are fragments in his mind which helped him identify his roots even if such identification was helped by later information acquired as he grew. Something which is nested within a human mind as young as his at the time it was said to have been uprooted is way too subjective an experience to be interrogated in certain ways. Nonetheless, so long as you are open minded on the subject, which I see you are, its no matter.

“Landing this cable comes as part of critical stages leading up to its deployment later this year, and it is expected to deliver up to 20 times more capacity than the region’s prior cables. We’ve worked with established partners and in-country experts to ensure that Equiano has the greatest potential effect in Nigeria and throughout Africa.

“A recent economic impact assessment conducted by Africa Practice and Genesis Analytics states that Equiano’s arrival in Nigeria is expected to result in faster internet speeds and significantly improve people’s experiences while online. Internet speeds in Nigeria are expected to grow almost sixfold by 2025, and retail internet prices are forecasted to decline by 21% over the same period. The same study found that by 2025, real GDP in Nigeria is forecast to be USD 10.1 billion higher than it otherwise would have been without Equiano and that the cable would indirectly generate roughly 1.6 million new jobs between 2022 and 2025.

Igbos are the least tribalistic of all Nigerian tribe. See how the igbo woman brought it to Lagos instead of the SE.
You mean leaving ocean to bury water cable beneath landlock South East? tribalism overruled. South south States could have been strong competitors but if truth must be said.they have no option than to run it through Lagos because the state has many economical advantage against other South south Ocean bordered states.

This is a good but economically slaving development.

One day, these foreigners landing cables at our coast will take their optical fibre to every home in our land. It will be ignorantly celebrated as an achievement of an administration but that is when we shall totally have been recaptured.

This is all because we are glad to be governed by wicked people who are never leaders.

The cable, named after Olaudah Equiano, a Nigerian-born writer and abolitionist, is among the first in a series of landings in Africa for the subsea cable and is expected to run from Portugal along Africa’s west coast to South Africa.

These Ignoramus Children, Lagos State was long prosperous before Tinubu & his 40 Thieves came & robbed It.

You must really be a kid? All he did was use the commonwealth of Lagos State to enrich himself.

Dumb afonja.. subsea cable has not do with seaport but coastlines connected to the Atlantic ocean.

Why didn't they choose Osun state or ekiti or even Oyo state?
You're the rettarded one.....you can't have a seaport without a coastline.

This cable has no effect on last-mile Internet access.

The price will remain the same and MTN data will keep evaporating at twice the speed of other providers.

Ask the OGs about the effect of the MainOne cable which landed in 2010.

This reminds me, when will the famed cable being laid by Glo land?

Nice...

Olaudah Equiano was a slave of the early 17th-18th century of Igbo origin during the reign of slave trade in west Africa.
We went on to distinguish himself amongst other slaves to become influential.
He was a playwright, right activist, educationist and one of the foremost black slave to get freedom and champion the freedom of other black slaves by fighting &speaking up for them.
During his years, he authored many books on the ancient Igbo culture, tribal identity and ways of life, making sure the Igbo heritage of alot of slaves were never erased and still kept as far back as then.
Finally, he inspired other slaves of other various African tribal to fight for freedom&ensure they retained their identities.

His legend lives on.
