So what ? There are many prominent streets or areas named after Ebos e.g. Nnamdi Azikiwe in Idumota
Eni Njoku Hall in Unilag. Ndubuisi Kanu Park. IKEJA etc

There are more streets named after Ebos in Lagos state

Mind you Lagos is a STATE just like IMO so compare Lagos state to Imo and Owerri to Ikeja

There is a park in Ikeja named after Ndubuisi Kanu

In Idumota the most important street is named after Nnamdi Azikiwe

In Victoria Island we have Ozumba Mbadiwe. These are VERY PROMINENT not unknown roads so stop gaslighting

Even at that, most importantly I am Yoruba just like my brothers from other SW states cool
I promise to place 100k into an escrow account on a bet if you will show a picture of your birth cert here to support your claim. Just blur your name on it, I will take it like that. If possible, steal a picture from someone else too. Ofcourse I know an ethnic jingoist like you can never have access to a real Lagosian's birth cert.

You don't get the sax. Show me the street named after a Lagos indigene in Anambra and I will show you 10 streets named after an Anambra.

Lagos has its people, culture and heritage and it reserves the right to protect it

Here is wole soyinka Street located in the heart of awka. For a reminder, AWKA is the capital of anambra state in south east Nigeria.

For all the "street name changers" or for all the people whose current occupation is changing the names of streets across Lagos. Here is a reminder, you are being childish.
Please let us be childish and stop weeping endlessly upon what we chose to do in our land. If we do not poke our nose into your matter, why are you raving about ours ?

Woke Soyinka and Tai Solarium risked their lives taking food aids to your emaciated civilians during the civil war only for you ingrates to turn around and vilify him.

How many of your south west people travel outside their enclave to settle down somewhere else and earn the honors of taking street name.

You people are taking tribal bigotry to another level and finally destroying the little cord holding NIGERIA together all in a furtive effort to keep tinubu in power.

You mortal fear of PETER OBI is consuming you.
Re: Wole Soyinka Street In The Heart Of Awka. by gidgiddy: 7:41am On Jul 28, 2025
Its laughable that in the mist of rising poverty, insecurity and suffering, people are fighting over street name

Shameful

Wole Soyinka is not from Lagos state so not clear why this matters

And so what ? If you like, change it, what do we care !

We are not idiotic and primitive people who race about everything and anythinga civilised race while you people remain an archaic tribe in the 21st century.

Having said that, both Woke Soyinka and Tai Solarium risked their lives to take food aids to your emaciated civilians during the civil wær.

Col. Adekunle Fajuyi surrendered his life for Aguiyi Ironsi.
What have you people ever done to honour them ? Nothing !!!

We will do whatever we want on our land whether you like it or not.
