Do you even understand the circumstances of most names of the streets?
You don't.
It's mostly the first person that develops a land in an undeveloped area, that applies to the government for the Street to be named.

So you should be asking how many Yoruba people have gone to a bush in southeast, clear it and develop it.

What impact did Yoruba people made in development of Ebonyi state or do you want to give street names to unknown Yoruba people?
They will name streets after some Yoruba leaders in the spirit of one nation.

This is untrue, infact, our street here in Lagos was named by my uncle, are we the first person there? No, and same as other streets.

Putindbutt:
Lamba 😂. So was it Awolowo that first developed a land in this street in Ebonyi before it was named after him?.

You don't understand the word 'mostly'.

Which port ABI na pot was named after Ojukwu?

No, it was a pot and it sure resembles ojukwu's head......

Yorubas don't live there... U get a chance to get a street named after y, when u live in the society...

Igbos full Ajeromi ifelodu

Bro this thing is simple.

Your people intentionally refused to explore Southeastern states, claiming that southeast is unlivable and have nothing to offer, it's this, its that, and that Yorubas cant live there nor invest there.


Igbos on the other hand don't care about how any place on earth is, they see opportunities everywhere and anywhere there are humans. If there are no opportunities, they create one, the stoop low to serve the locals just to get paid, at the end they contribute to the growth of anywhere they relocate to and reside. And when they make money from wherever they reside, they dont use discrimination or cunning attitude to avoid investing back there, instead they take that place as their second home and start reinvesting every penny they earned from that place back to that place through building lasting infrastructural investments, buildings, hotels, factories, transport terminals, hospitals, malls, shops, car wash, bars, restaurants, just name it, and from there they become major stakeholders in that region or place they live.


Common sense demand that the locals make such people a part of them and reciprocate their love and contribution in the development of their area, that's how Igbos earn whatever they have outside Igbo land, that's how they earned the street names named after them.


Now how do you expect Southeastern states that Yorubas always boast that they can never visit or live or invest in to name plenty streets after people that brag that their land is barren and unlivable? If we have 1million Yorubas living in the Southeast and investing heavily in our real estate, industry, education, etc, courtesy demands that we will start naming streets, roads, monuments after successful Yorubas that live or lived in the Southeast and contributed to the growth and development of the east.
