Who are those then living in the east? Yaribas and Hausas?

Yes, people tend to move to where there is government infrastructural presence and that has helped Lagos and Abuja in the increase of population, the only presence of the federal government of nigeria in the eastern region is just the military presence and that scares people away
You said military presence scared people awayhuh?
Bro, stop economizing the truth

grin indeed, keep telling yourself that lie if it helps you sleep well at night, aside from Lagos and Abuja, go to Ibadan and other cities in Nigeria and see the large number of your migrant blodas grin I guess FG also built all the infrastructure in those states and btw, the second Niger bridge and other road infrastructure being constructed in the east are not FG funded infrastructure Abi? Continue deceiving yourself grin

She has spoken the truth and admitted, unlike the thousands online living in denial, the "casual disregard for life" in Ala Igbo today has now gotten the south East to this stage where it is a region Igbos flee, to Lagos and Abuja etal, never to return.

You lot always attacking Yorubas, calling them all manners of ungracious things, why are you silent? Your heroine has spoken .

Are you going to tag her "efulefu" too so you can bask in your infamously irresponsible approach to life whereby you prefer to blame others always for your self-inflcted woes?
Gidgiddy still behaving like the Ostrich that thinks it's invincible because it has buried it's head.

House rent has skyrocketed in Asaba & environs due to their influx. But they are better than those marauders from Sahel

As usual, this one typically prefers living in denial than admitting there is a problem as Chimamanda did.

No on is telling you Igbos no longer live in the East. Sensible and truthful folks are saying Igbos, of all Nigerians, are fleeing their region of origin the most, never to return, because of problems Igbos have caused for themselves.

Igbo land is now unsafe for Igbos because of Igbos and not "Yaribas" or "Aboki". Deal with that reality Kanu and co, that you all celebrated and handed your lives over to, have caused.

Envy, jealousy causing problems in South-East — Cubana Chief Priest
16th June 2024


What can be blamed for the killings and insecurity in the South-East?

It is jealousy and envy that caused everything that is happening in the South-East. If you say you do not like a particular government, do you go and kill your brother because of that? No!

You should rather wait for when it is time for election, then you can vote that person out. You should not about hating or killing your brother, because you don’t like him, or because he is supporting a particular government, or the police. How can you kill your brother, because he is a policeman or a soldier? In a state without the police and military, who will maintain peace and order there?

Why did you relocate your business to Lagos State from Owerri (Imo State)?

I left the South-East, and relocated to Lagos State because some of our wealthy Igbo brothers are now scared of coming home.

If Kanu and Ekpa are caught korokoro, on video, gunning to death 20 unarmed men, he will tell you it is "Yaribas" who committed the act wearing Kanu and Ekpa masks.

Stop that nonsense, Tinubu created Lagos in your small mind, e reach time to build Nigeria he is busy wrecking, destroying and setting everything backward


Chill guy...Tinubu as a matter of fact is rebuilding Nigeria...it may be difficult for you to see it now probably due to your age, level of intelligence or sheer tribalism. But trust me, you will be happy for the foundation Tinubu is laying now in the nearest future.

I pray for peace in Igbo land.

Listen to this, A retired and very elderly former diplomat relocated to his home state of imo state, and made the grave mistake of selling his house at Abuja where he was living at the time, he was kidnapped twice in a space of a year and half and almost died in that ordeal, guess what, he is back at Abuja now and heartbreakingly now a tenant, he has vowed to never go back again.

Well said!
Not only do they run to Lagos and Abuja, they even run to Asaba, crossing the River Niger from Onitsha into Asaba in Delta State to build their 'mansions'.........their towns always seem too HOT for them to live in. angry

Yet they open their mouths in utter disrespect to their hosts!

On a more serious note, Like Chimamanda said, I think Ibos need to come together, have a general meeting, not to show off wealth, but to have a serious rethink (not of seceding) of how they can live soberly, and be trusted by other tribes....and how they can tell (no, enforce) their youth to avoid crime: baby fact*ry, dr*g smuggli*g, otokoto, etc. smiley

WHY AVOID YOUR HOMETOWNS?

They won't deal with this tragic reality that is now the fate of most Igbos in their region of origin today.

Their 24/7 obsession remains going online to demonise, demarket and badmouth everything/everyone Yoruba while their seriously troubled home continues burning to the ground.

Yes, that is one of the buhari legacies, a leader cannot massively hate a part of a country calling them a dot in a cycle, chasing MNK all over the world till he cought him in Kenya all because of Ibo hatred.

Even Peter Obi lives in Lagos that President Tifnubu built.
Ironically, Obi gave him an overwhelming knock out right in his sitting room.
It was the biggest disgrace for a presidential election in modern times.
A clear indication that Tifnubu never won the election.
Since then Peter Obi has been your nightmare. You can't comment without mentioning his name.
You're all giving Obi free publicity in a daily basis.
Thank you all

Many Igbos no longer go to village. Even their mansions there are now left to village relatives.

Who wants Ipob and unknown gunmen plus kidnappers wahala?

It’s unfortunate.

I am tired of complaints. She should lead the revolution...Speak to the Govs, pick a week and return home to celebrate Igbo Land across the states. She can start her own carnival or parade. She has influence..she can influence actions on security.

Tinubu did not build Lagos, this narratives is false. I don't know why you people keep pushing this glaring lies.
Lagos was Nigeria's Capital for 77 years. Tinubu did his part as governor for 8 years. The state was under federal government care for a whooping 77 years and still is, the development Lagos witnessed in those 77years is not what to use to compare to Tinubu 8years. Fashola and Ambode even did better
Re: Chimamanda Adichie: Igboland Has Changed, People Are Terrified Of Coming Back by Jonjam269: 8:40am On Jul 20, 2025
Isn’t it Chimamanda who wrote to the United States, urging them not to recognize Tinubu’s presidential election victory—and even reportedly called for his arrest? This is the height of delusion. These people are so deeply entrenched in conspiracy theories, social media propaganda, and echo chambers that they’ve lost all sense of objectivity.

They’re quick to point accusing fingers at others, yet fail to take responsibility for their own self-inflicted problems.
