No be this one dey always form Yoruba?

At least, this isn't about APC or Obi, so you have no reason to side behind them



You just can't hide your true identity, Chidi
You won't blame them for not being proud of where they're from, and hiding under other tribes. If I were from there too I wouldn't be proud of it.

The Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Lagos chapter, has faulted the renaming of some streets in Ajeromi Ifelodun Local Government Area of Lagos State.

MyNigeria noticed that most of the Igbo-sounding names were changed to Yoruba names. The total names changed is 24, according to a memo distributed.

With the changes, Imo Eze Street is now Layiwola Oluwa Street, Ezie Street is now Morilat Arogundade, Eze Street is now Erelu Mojisola Street, among others.

Other streets bearing English names were also changed, including George Street which has now become Daddy Showkey Street—in honour of the famous Ajegunle-born musician— and Queens Street now Kola Balogun Street. Other renamed roads include Kirikiri Road, now Moruf Oyekunle Road, and Uzoh Street, now Kalejaiye Adeboye Street.

Ohanaeze, through its state President, Solomon Ogbonna, told MyNigeria that the change, which has also been implemented by Google Maps, reeks of inferiority complex.

He said, "I think it is inferiority complex. I don't think any street will have a name without the owner of the name having property there. It is not about ethnic fight but inferiority complex."

He went on to advise the authorities in Lagos not to stop at that but to go ahead and end the intermarriage between Yoruba and Igbo people.

"If they think it is important to change the names of streets bearing Igbo names, then they should try to disorganise the intermarriage between us, that is, Yoruba and Igbo," he said.

According to him, if there's an Igbo man already married to a Yoruba woman, the authorities should take back the wife and give the Igbo man an Igbo wife.

One of the first things President Trump did was change the name Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of America. He didn't stop at that, he had proposed fencing America against Mexicans and has been hunting them like animals in his administration. Of course they have been a nuisance, drugs and all kinds of crimes.

This is what Igbo people will call Anya Ufu. Nigeria people are against themselves if other countries can accommodate Nigerians in their own land why can't we replicate that in our own country. United we stand and divided we fall.


Ya ga zie ..
hope u remember that anambara people killed ebonyi people for having meetings in anambara state?

If u people can't tolerate yourselves I don't think it's a big deal if others can't tolerate u

Ohaneze there was no need to respond.

By responding you have just poured fuel to fire, giving your enemies reasons to gloat. This does not help you succeed.

Learn to conquer with silence sometimes..


Water will find its level, naturally. wink
You're right, they shouldn't have dignified them with a response. It's better to leave your enemy to continue fighting with himself thinking he is fighting with you.

Bunch of hypocrites

Lagos is. not No Man's Land!!

The street names need to show it!!

You are free to change the street names in your own Region to identify your own ethnic identity

With the ways Ohaneze release press release about Lagos every week, one would think that Ohaneze exists soley for Lagos affairs.

Ohaneze should focus on Alaigbo and learn to mind their business, once in a while

It was deliberate. It was an agenda to squirm their way into Yoruba history of the Ugbo or Igbo of Ife who happen to be the Ilajes of today. They didn't know that we were watching them like hawks to see what they wanted to achieve with the change of name. They do not know where they come from or who they are. That is why they will claim Bantu, Israel, Ile-ife, Japan, America, and anything their crazy minds can conceive.
Better than claiming that you hurtled down from the sky.
In the bible, only one angel fell down from the sky. It was lucifer!

Not happening anytime soon..
You need to sign the divorce papers first.
I don't know why you tremble and fidget whenever those papers are presented to you.
Sign the damned thing and build a wall at Ore, you won't hear any knock, ..
I promise you.
In any event, your uncles were the ones who fought for "unity". Them "One Naijeiriyaa" advocates
So you need to pipe down

You will go back and wake up your dead past leaders who refused the possibility of a peaceful pull out because they thought they could actualize an ethnic supremacist agenda. You will have to go to war again and get thoroughly vanquished. The mistake you're making is thinking that you could harass the Yorubas into submission just as you thought you could the North in the past. History will always repeat itself to those who refuse to learn. It's gradually building up to that level. We will see who will lose again.
