I am a graduate of Unilag and I was a student of Unilag. As a Governor, Asiwaju performed exceptionally.

In school then, the Igbo boys and girls at Unilag usually run for elections and they win because the Yoruba students usually support the Igbos in a Yoruba dominated University.

Do you know that this "Lagos is a no man's land" narrative by some Igbo people in Lagos is something they have done before in a place called Sapele in Delta state some years ago?

In Sapele, we have Hausa road, Yoruba road, Urhobo road, Okpe road, Itsekiri road, Benin Road and even Esan road but no Igbo road

Alt these roads are named after various tribes in the town

You know why? (He meant why there is no igbo road )

History has it that the road called Okpe Road was originally called Igbo road

It is the main road at the middle of the town though Yoruba road is the longest road in the town, because that road have so many businesses, The Igbo people started calling Sapele a no man's land

This was around the 1940s and 1950s

So during the civil war, the then king of Sapele, Orodje of Okpe then ordered that the name of the road Igbo road must be changed to Okpe road

Today that road is now Okpe road instead of Igbo road because Igbo people were calling the town a no man's land

Also, there is no road in the entire town that bears an Igbo man's name

We have Awolowo road, Akintola road, Adeniyi road

But no single road named after the Igbos because of their attitude of calling the place a no man's land

Most people in Lagos don't know this.

I was born in Sapele and I know the History

They always have this r*de domineering spir*t which is very annoying

When I was discussing the matter with a few friends recently, I mentioned the Sapele case and challenged them to go to the town if they will see any road named after Igbo or any Igbo indovidual

The solution in Lagos is to cut them to size

Lagosians should start buying back their landed property

Lagosians should start buying back their landed property

I could not get a house because they see me as Igbo though I am from Delta state

So, I had to relocate back to my state from Lagos

Igbos are creating problems for non Lagosians in Lagos
WHAT THEY CANT ACCEPT IN THEIR LAND .

Wow!

Ni Bo la tun Ja si bayi...

Their GRV gov find it difficult to answer questions with most likes rather he was highly selective in answering questions

Biased script

This is eye opening..

Sapele is in Delta na.. so Igbos don show them too for that side.

I am aware that at a point in time in Lagos, Igbos were going to L.G.As to change street names from their original name to their Igbo names but didn't succeed. Our people still had sense back then not the dullards growing among Yoruba population now who will jump at money blindly to sell their heritage.

Rubbish post. Only fit to be poo pooed on.

"So during the civil war, the then king of Sapele, Orodje of Okpe then ordered that the name of the road Igbo road must be changed to Okpe road"

Most likely changed because of the war, not their attitude...even in Porthacourt, settlements name were changed.

This is to show support and allegiance to the Federal Power and disassociate themselves from seccession.

It has nothing to do Igbo attitude

Really? smh

Obidients "over to you guys "

Instead of some Mofos to Think of how to Better their Lives, They keep on Shouting IGBO, IGBO.

Wow!

I am from Sapele and this article is very apt. Even the popular Igbo Quarters was taken away from the Igbos and back to the Okpe community.

The Igbos are always are loggerhead with their host community until it climax to a major bloodshed.

I.just hope Lagos doesn't get to that stage. One reason I hardly acquire property in Lagos is because I know for certain, that a major supremacy battle will occur soon and we Niger Deltans might suffer casualties because we are always mistaken for Igbos

You are a fool. Nobody from the niger delta would write the nonsense you just wrote

Im not surprised. Even jos people chased them out in the jos killings in 1945. Their arrogance is their curse.

The thing about arrogance is that u will never learn from ur mistakes cos u have to be humble to do that, so its a curse.

I'm tired of Igbo People.

I am born and bre in Sapele, I attended Ayomanor primary school and Urhiapele secondary school in sapele, I will differ from your write up..

Okpe road was change after the civil war, reasons be that majority of the houses in that road was owe by the igbos , the Oghene, Ayomanor many Okpe people share those houses among themselves after the civil war, they did that so that the igbos will not come and reclaim those properties…


Something happened in my street at Oghene road the year 2000 when a son of an Igbo man came back to reclaim his father’s house..


His proof was that his father buried old currency in one the rooms inside the building.

And he showed them the room, and it was discovered there was money in the room and the house was given to him back

Nonsense and Hatred. Una no de tire? Igbo this, Igbo that. Just because they and we'll meaning Nigerians decided to support the most competent candidates. Haba

By the way a scrip I just read Today shows that the Beni people and some slave trade returnees actually own Lagos and not the noise makers and some irredeemable haters of the west

Rubbish post. Only fit to be poo pooed on.

Did you do any research findings before dismissing the post? If what the op said really happened then by definition it is NOT a 'Rubbish post.'

And the lies keep rolling... Well it still does not change the fact that....

Lagosians have chosen Governor Gbadebo Rhodes- Vivour(MON)

Hope you know that the same Okpe road till date still dominated by the igbos?

If the igbos then was given the host community problem like you rightly say, why did the Orodje of Okpe allowed them to have the Igwe of sapele, because I still remember then that Igwe of state was one Igbo man that owes a shop close Omare primary school , which oviegahra compound where all the shops there are owes by igbos ?


I do attend the Igbo day then.

I still remember the Igbo quarter was in Santo lane…..

Majority of all roads in Sapele was change to mostly late Okpe leaders….

Cemetery road was changed to Ayomanor road.

We still some prominent igbos name after some roads in Sapele

We have Izu road/Street
Maduka road

Una never see anything from Tinubu's hungry urchins, they will soon tell you how Western Germany chased Igbos out of Germany and changed the names of streets owned by Igbos because Igbos wanted to take over Germany in 1939



Instead of these Yoruba boys to hustle harder and make Igbo friends to teach them how to become more productive, they are busy hating on a fast moving train.



No community outside Igbo land will come out and say they allocated free land to Igbos or handed Igbos free houses as a way of accommodating Igbos. Whatever land or house an Igbo man owns outside his state, he probably paid times 3 of the real value to the indigenes of that community and also paid through his nose before starting the land development.


Igbos from different parts of Nigeria and outside Nigeria are busy now buying lands in Agbara Ogun state, building mansions and developing Agbara to a world class city, Yoruba boys won't come in now and develop their city, they are busy selling the lands to Igbos and collecting Omonile fee. Tomorrow now they will start screaming and hallucinating of how Igbos want to take over Ogun state, na wa oh.


Why cant Yoruba youths who are all sophisticated billionaires have a townhall meeting and plan how to invade Southeast and start massive land buying and development of Southeast so that they can take over Southeast from Igbos through becoming real estate stakeholders and key business and investment owners? What's stopping una abeg? Use your federal government connection and suppress whatever obstacle Igbos present and take over Southeast abeg, na beg we de beg una, we need Yorubas and other tribes to come into southeast en masse to build and develop southeast, not bringing bloodshed and destructions without erecting a block like Fulani herdsmen oh


Its really sad seeing young people who ought to be focusing on how to better their lives financially spend most of their time hating and attacking Igbos who are busy in their respective businesses making more money, odiegwu

not different from river State remaining some Igbo towns adding prefixes like rumo.... to lay claim on them after the war....not actually no man's land nonsense or whatever

Please stop this hate against the igbos

Go to Palmer venue , Cemetery road, Okpe road, Adeola road, Boyo road, Chude Grammar school road all this places are dominated by the igbos and we have all live together for years in Sapele, The igbos has never 👎 claim ownership of Sapele local government area, please bring down this your post against the igbos. If you are talking those that dominated Ssapele is the ESAN tribe from Edo state

URCHINs should get busy you people are making Sanwo Olu relection very difficult.




LP won Lagos with more than 68% of total vote cast.


4get inec wotowoto


Sanwo Olu knows that too

The councilor of ward 3 currently is an Hausa guy in Sapele, the councilor of ward 2 in sapele local government area is from ESAN from edo state, the only issue the Okpes are having in sapele is the Itsekiri claiming ownership of some places dominated by them.

Their urchinistic brains are leaking ewedu ati eforiro water

There is no credible source to indicate this is not beer parlour gossips.

90% of Yorubas in Lagos are not from Lagos. Yorubas are equally immigrants to Lagos, they came early due to proximity.

Lagos belongs to all Nigerians equally because Nigeria resources was used to develop it, of which Yorubas contibuted probably lesser than others.

Speaking Yoruba doesn't make you a Lagos indigene

Read about the civil war. Igbos left every part of Nigeria to the East and declared independence and the Biafra Country was born. Nigerians went there to fight them to return to Nigeria.

Nigeria had it coming. You guys had it coming alright. Nigerians should have left Baifrans alone and continue with the remaining part of Nigeria. Now you've to live with the consequences of bringing back the Igbos into Nigeria
