designking: 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
yes o.. Igbo man is the worst thing to happen to this country.. They sometimes disguise too as herdsmen to harass every part of the country.. they are the ones that held buharis skinny hands behind his back for 8yrs and made him not to do a single thing..

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 .

DMerciful: 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 The problem was that Igbo's wanted to take non Igbo's with them and of course Oil is located in non-Igbo land which in my opinion is the real reason that the Federal Government went to war with Biafra. I honestly believe that if Ojukwu had only taken the Igbo speaking parts of the Eastern region with him, Gowon would have let him be. Obviously none of this excuses the genocide that followed. 4 Likes 1 Share |

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 Well spoken true Deltan. 👍 Not those fake Deltan Urchins looking for who to buy their hate messages.

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.

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.

Shonde Festus What do you want to achieve with this write-up So Igbos should start crying that one little street name was changed. What has that got to do with your daily life . Igbo blooded towns and villages in Rivers State had the names changed, Igbos moved on and you are just talking about a street. All these 'R' you see before 'Umu', Rumumasi, Rumueme Rumungasi, but still they could not change Ogbonabali. What of Obigbo to Oyigbo. Igbos moved on with their lives, and you are there disturbing yourself because of a street. But I can tell one thing, in all these the relationship between Igbos and their kits and kins within these areas , be in marriage, business and human relationship are still very strong. So my advice to you my friend, is to live your life and forget about meaningless things. If all Igbos leave Sapele today would you be able to fill the vacuum. 2 Likes 1 Share |
