This is the best thing that ever happened to the igbo race, the lagos state Government needs to be very fast about it
I agree with you. When you have hostile neighbors you can't let your guards down and that includes making them understand boundaries.

So tomorrow when the capital of the country shift from Abuja to another state, the indigenous people of F.C.T will start changing all their street names?
Is it not better every major region becomes independent so that they can do whatever they like?
How can people be using others natural wealth to be flexing muscles?
Mention division and this same people will start crying.

I wonder why they keep crying? There are a lot of countries smaller than some states in Nigeria and they are doing well.
I always use the UK as an example, they have various countries that makes up the UK. Why are they not united as a single country if they believe in unity in diversity?
None of those politicians are thinking of how to better the lives of the common man, but dwelling so much on irrelevant things that only divide the people for their own selfish gains( election winning)

Whatever dude..
Anambra State changed Street name from Abakaliki Street to something entirely different yet your likes were cool with it.
Hold your peace and allow Lagos LGAs change Streets names to whatever they want.
It was changed from Abakaliki street to Club Road because of the area's nightlife scene,

another road In Anambra was given the name Abakaliki street,

thereby keeping the name in the city though at a new location.

Go and check well, the Street names were changed from Yoruba to Igbo names out of unpatriotism by some Yorubas in the LGAs in Lagos.
There were no Streets in Lagos with Igbo names prior to the 80s' and 90s'. Go and verify.
Sorry to burst your bubble but Nnamdi Azikikwe and Ozumba Mbadiwe existed before the 80's.
