Ahh baba owolowo😭.

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.

So, Awolowo was the first to build in that street? Wait first let me laugh, then come back for some more 5% dot jokes from you.

T9ksy:
No, it was a pot and it sure resembles ojukwu's head......

We have Awo road it actually means frog road

Remove the name, we don't care.

You all claim and only talk about Lagos as if it was not a Federal capital of Nigeria at some point. I thought you would have mentioned Ekiti or Osun state

Ojiofor:
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.

Yorubas are there. But you never allowed them to even own properties not to talk of naming streets on their names.

How many houses have Yoruba built in the state for you to display such crass entitlement?

Did U allow it? No wonder one of Onitsha pastor was preaching in his church boasting if you have seen any Yoruba man build house in Onitsha, the congregation answered nooo.
It's simply because u didn't allow it.

Do you or any of your relatives have a land , shop , built a factory , tarred road , pay taxes in Any Ibo state ?

Only you is asking. Only you is answering and concluding based on your own fabrications.

Did you submit building plan and they rejected it?
REST

What criteria do you think that are considered before naming a street?

Some of you think that someone will just wake up one morning and decide to name a street after him.

That you have many streets in Lagos and other Yoruba state named after the Igbos is the testament of the great impact they have had in the area.

How many Yorubas impacts on their host community?

Una name this kind street after Awolowo? That is an insult.

Kaido:
Is this place close to CAS?

It's been a while I visited AI.

It's after Udensi roundabout. CAS is along works.

I thought you people said Eboyin people are not IGBOS? Lmao 😂🤣😂🤣 Well no Yoruba man will lay claim to another person's land even if we are living there. So they can change the name if they want we are not bothered.

Do you people even sell land to outsider even to common South Easterner naa war ... abi .. how many land do Ebonyi people have in anambra ... you con they talk of outsider

@Jman06
Please which love una dey show? The love that will not allow you people sell land to non indigenous people. You are counting only one Adelabu Street come to my state let me show you lots of streets named after Igbos.
How many Yorubas have you seen calling Igbo land no mans land and laying claim to it?
Where were you when Igbos were serving as commissioners in the West?
I really love your suggestions so let it start right now we don't care!

harjay1986:

Peter Obi their brother sacked all non indigenous people from Anambra civil service. People from other Igbo states were sacked. They don't even recognize their own people.

Ojiofor:
Which port ABI na pot was named after Ojukwu?

That black pan they use in frying akara... It has shiny surface like a bald man's head. That's y it was named after Ojukwu.... It's actually derogatory. That pot was named after the Civil War.

How many places in Igbo land sell land to non indigens? Tell us about that first.

Yorubas are there. But you never allowed them to even own properties not to talk of naming streets on their names.

Agbo sellers are too poor to own properties.
A Yoruba man born in Enugu state own a stadium and other real estate.

I don't know why most people don't know history.

In 1904 many yorubas migrated to Abakiliki settled down there.

They began having children and decided to name their children ibo names and that was how they became ibos.

Same also happened in present day opobo.

King Jaja of Opobo was from Nkwere in Imo state but migrated to opobo and today opobo people are part of Rivets state.

The same applies to the people of Ngwa. Ngwa people today are people from Etche in Rivers state who migrated to Aba and spread to many areas which became Ngwa land today.

In conclusion, ebonyi people are decendants of oduduwa

That does not reduce his greatness.
We named a particular grass after awolowo called ahihia Awo.

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.


But your people want streets in Southeast named after them when they refused to contribute to southeast development by going there to live, invest and contribute to the region's growth, it doesn't work that way

All these your long statement doesn't add up to me. I might not have been to Ebonyi before to know what's happening there, but I know Onitsha very well and there are numerous Yorubas who lives and are doing very well there. They want to invest but you didn't allow them because U re not ready to sell your land to them.
Even one of your pastors in Onitsha buttress the point last year in his church asking his congregation if you have seen a Yoruba person built a house in Onitsha, congregation answered noo. So what re we talking about.
Awolowo they mentioned I'm sure he doesn't even have a house on the road because U begin to defend you people built first there was the reason they name street on your name.
It's still my question, do you people allow it in your area?

Yorubas are tribalists. The earlier other tribes accept it , the better...just keep on paying them back in their own coin...they are always envious and bitter towards anyone thy perceive is better than them... its in their DNA.... just imagine them celebrating what's happening to igbos in Ghana.....no be witchcraft be that??
