Anybody that questions Igbo contribution in development of Lagos state is just being dishonest so I am not taking you seriously.

Tell us the impact Igbos have in this our Lagos? Na una Contribute money for us to build 3r d mainland bridge? Na una call una 5 plots state govt to help build Jakande Estate, Lekki Deep Sea Port na una build am for us?
Lagos oshodi Apapa express na una money we take build am? Lagos Ibadan expressway na una Linus money we take build am? Muritala Muhammed Airport, na una build am for us? All our public infrastructures in Lagos including Apapa ports, na una build am?

Abeg shift joor, you guys did nothing for Lagos. All you did is do your trading and make your profits. Something you are not forced to do here. I repeat, Igbos did nothing for Lagos.

You mean the brown roof ibadan ?

The largest slum in West Africa

😂😂😂we are proud of our brown roof which symbolises early civilisation that Yorubas are known for……your ancestors were still living in the forest covered with leaf when Yorubas were already living in well built houses…..no wonder the brown roof is more developed and more economically viable than your 5 plot of potopoto land 😂😂😂

If you can use another word more powerful than marginalized is what the non ibos are facing in iboland. They're quick to ask for inclusiveness because other tribe are not like them.

I don't think any state this country is more accommodating than lagos state. But you don't go to people's land and call it a no man's land because you have given a good atmosphere for business and right to contest on political ground. I lived in portharcourt for 20 years and I move arround the east. When you talk about your tribe, you can feel the hatred in their eyes not to talk of partaking in anything political. I know how other tribe who live in the east, are being marginalised

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, they 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 like Igbos do in your own Southwest region, it doesn't work that way

Why lamentation nah?! If your place is economicaly attractive, people will come there and prosper. Who wants to explore a barren land? Anywhere in Yoruba land and the north, you people don't have problems thriving until you create problems for yourselves. How can you call someone ancestral home no man's land? Then put up a fight there and let's see.
The same way Ghanaians are resisting you. The same way South Africa is killing you. You people do not have sense?
When I was living in the north, I saw the hatred of Hausa - Fúlàní against igbos. The reason they were burning their properties and shops.
You people should learn how to respect others in their lands. The same reason that Igbo presidency will be difficult.

I know you will respond with sentimental reasoning, but that does not solve any problems until you change.

jmoore:
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 is so deep about the circumstances you pointed out that is difficult to know. You just postured like you were going to say something deep, then came out with an extraordinarily normal statement.

It’s so normal, it’s totally totally underwhelming.


You: You will never be able to decipher the actual critical ingredient in the atmosphere that causes longevity in human beings, your mind is simply not ready for it.

Me: Oh Master Obvious, tell me, so my small mind can be blown wide open.


You: Oxygen.

seun na wah for una anti spam bot that will be banning people up and down radarada

what's the fuss about that?afterall many streets in lagos,abuja,rivers and ogun states are named with Igbo people names even U.I(University if Ibadan) has several roads named Igbo which you won't find yorubas names with roads in UNN or Nnamdi Azikiwe university

madridguy:
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.

Na 50 streets named after an igbo person in osun state or even ogun state?

Idaytesj29:
What impact did the Igbos have in Lagos?

I'm from Rivers State an Ogoni from Eleme, and i will tell you that you are tribalistic. I'll use my place for example, do you know how many houses are own by Igbos but you'll barely see a house that is been owned by hausa or Yoruba, this alone tell you how the Igbos are crucial for the development of a place. You claim your land is adding value, who's buying if not majority Igbos, they're doing this not because they want to take over your place, but they see your place as home. You think if the Igbos are like hausas that don't invest in other people's land, they just come, live in a batcher, make big money and build in their place, if the igbos acted that way, trust me you won't be bragging about your place.

madridguy:

Yes it's untrue but in most cases it's the first person that develops that area that bears the name of the street

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

Awolowo is a national icon and been given a street, road, monument irrespective wether he was the first there or not

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

This is Agbari Ojuckwu pot,any ceremony na the Agbari Ojuckwu be Koko, anything you cook with that pot dey sweet o.

You can say whatever pleases you, the disrespect has to stop. We ain't taking that shit no more. If you can't respect your host, pack and leave. If you are taking it in Rivers, that's your problem. We don't want that anymore here.

Tjra:
Common bro,

Yorubas aren't in Ebonyi because of the low opportunities there not because they don't like Igbos.

Go to Port-Harcourt or Abuja and see them in their numbers.

Why would a South-westerner leave his region and move to where there are less opportunities? No be everything be tribalism please

and porthacurt is not an Igbo state? lol. Youruba people are not even in porthacourt

TheOldGods:
and porthacurt is not an Igbo state? lol. Youruba people are not even in porthacourt

Why should Yorubas leave their region?

For what?

The best insfrastructures are in the South West, so why go anywhere else?

If you need something better still, you go abroad, simple!

Mention the reasons why Yoruba people have to go over to the South East.

To do what exactly?

The way migration works....
People go over to look for better opportunities.

So why would anyone who is comfortable in a place with better infrastucture, go over to another place (with worse infrastructure) to go start life again.

Also trading in a placr does not give you a right to have things named after you.
That is being entitled.

How many Roads in London or New York are named after immigrants?

Don't be daft please!

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

There is also a smelly grass named 'Awolowo' in Ibo land. I schooled there.

Lagos. Lagos. Lagos!

Simple, it was former capital of Nigeria. Built before even any city experienced the kind of development we see in recent times by people mostly from afar not from Yoruba as a tribe.

Making so much noise about Lagos is just busybody that some illiterates are fuuling themselves with

Putinofrussia:
It is a privilege and it could be given to non indigenes or taken away.The prerogative is with the owners of the land.
If Yorubas are named after streets in the East or anywhere,they deserve it by being the people who gave us TV,Radio,Newspaper etc.
They deserve to be honored even if they are not in millions like the South Esterners are in Yorubaland.

oga go to abule ado Lagos that place is swamps before igbo people started buying lands to there ,street name is something you pay to local government maybe 40k is not an award ,my name in abule ado is the street name bishop street I paid local government for it,you can't eat your cake and have it

Lagos is more than those things you listed.
Everyday you wake up in Lagos you see the presence of Igbos everywhere. Moreover the bridge was built by FG and there is no FG without Igbo.

Taking it like how, what have they done wrong? Imagine if the fulanis were the igbos, by now that tribe would have gone under extinct, your hate towards Igbo is too much.

Thank God it was not a river or ocean but swamp.
All the other Yoruba,Hausa,Benue,Urhobo etc too built on swamps so what exactly is your grouse?
