It is really a bad development. Even as a proud, honorable and highly esteemed son of the Yoruba ethnic group, I see this development born out of hate.

It is a big setback and a shame on those who cooked up and executed the hate filled agenda.

It’s not a secret that other ethnic groups have streets and roads named after them in states they happen to non-indigenes.

These is a disaster that would NEVER yield good results. It is the result of electing incompetent leaders who have nothing to offer but to stoke hate. They are bereft of innovative ideas to develop their people and environment.

His Excellency, President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR) needs to step-in on this matter and make sure all name changes are reverted.

On behalf of Honorable and high esteemed self, I sincerely apologize to all Igbo’s within and outside the shores of Nigeria. I never believed it could degenerate to this level.

kettykin:
what's your take on this , will this teach Lagos a lesson it will never forget in its existence or is this another not well though out gimmicks and wild goose chase

kettykin:
While this is happening in Lagos, counter retrenchment will be taking place in companies owned by igbos and in the Eastern states , particularly Enugu

kettykin:
What would be the potential economic, social, and political implications if the Igbo people across Nigeria and the diaspora decided to boycott all products and services of companies headquartered in Lagos this is including schools, churches, FMCGs, fintechs, and other institutions as a form of protest against perceived bigotry and actions like the renaming of streets? How might such a boycott unfold, and what are the possible consequences for both sides?

stanluiz:
Do you live in the South East ? You want Soludo to go to ibadan and appoint you in the state civil service where you don't leave there. Dey play.

Do you know that a lot of Yoruba are working in Air peace. Majority of staffs there are Yorubas. Go and verify!

How many Igbos are working in Yoruba company ? Show me a big Yoruba company where Igbos are majority as staff just like Airpeace.

Even in your churches. You can't appoint a non Yoruba pastor to heads the church outside the SW. Eg is Redeemed Christian Church of God.

If tinubu cannot appoint Igbos in government, is it the Yorubas in private sector that will do that ?

Bunch of insecure people. Chasing what is not chasing you.

chopnaira:
When are you going to apologize to Ebonyi people too for all the i justice melted out to them by Anambrans and other Igbos?

chopnaira:
Adress my question and stop beating around the bush like an headless chicken.

When are Anambrans and other Igbos going to apologize to Ebonyians for the discrimination melted out to Ebonyians?

CoronaVirusPro:
What question did you ask. Why will I have to accuse Ebonyi when Lagos took to the lead?

Go to the thread that made from page about Ajeromi/Ifelodun LGA renaming streets and see if my predictions didn’t happen before Ebonyi started.

And Never in your life insult my person.

Goodvibes007:
Anambra took the lead in 2018. So what exactly is the problem?

Hello, Lagos took the lead and that has been recorded the history. Why I said it will adopted and degenerate to levels above street naming. Every other state and ethnic group will start adopting it since it has passed in Lagos.

As it stands today, with levels it has gotten too, I see a genocide in view. The possibility is increasing.

Ogbeni stop talking trash, when a stranger call your father house a no man's house, then call him for a party and buy him whiskey.

richie240:
So it's ok for anambala to rename ebonyi streets in alaigbo but its a taboo for Lagos to be do the same okwea??

Typical ipóbic reasoning.

CoronaVirusPro:
I am glad you exposed your level of reasoning.

So because a class of people called my father’s house a no man’s house means I should persecute all strangers, or you are of the belief that every Igbo person shares that same ideology.

You see, when I read the rhetorics your likes share, it convinces more that a genocide is still possible in modern times. You will use same rhetorics of a few to judge many.

Godjone:
If I tell cab or Uber to stop me at Charly boy bus stop, will the state government arrest me for mentioning Charly boy? People should note this today,. That bus stop will continue to bear Charly boy bus stop till eternity

What would be the potential economic, social, and political implications if the Igbo people across Nigeria and the diaspora decided to boycott all products and services of companies headquartered in Lagos this is including schools, churches, FMCGs, fintechs, and other institutions as a form of protest against perceived bigotry and actions like the renaming of streets? How might such a boycott unfold, and what are the possible consequences for both sides?


A mass Igbo boycott of Lagos-headquartered companies would be a seismic move with far-reaching economic, social, and political consequences. Here's a breakdown of how such a boycott could play out:

How might such a boycott unfold, and what are the possible consequences for both sides?


A mass Igbo boycott of Lagos-headquartered companies would be a seismic move with far-reaching economic, social, and political consequences. Here's a breakdown of how such a boycott could play out:

Economic Implications
For Lagos-based Companies:

Revenue Disruption: Igbo consumers form a major part of Nigeria’s consumer economy, particularly in the southeast and south-south regions. FMCG companies (e.g., Nestlé, Unilever), fintechs (e.g., Paystack, Flutterwave), and telecoms would likely experience significant revenue shortfalls.

Supply Chain Strain: Many Igbos dominate distribution and retail logistics. A disruption in these networks could paralyze product movement in the east and beyond.

Brand Damage: Accusations of enabling or being complicit in ethnic bias could hurt long-term brand equity, especially in an increasingly woke, social media-driven landscape.

For the Igbo Community:

Short-term Inconvenience: Alternatives to dominant Lagos-based companies may be limited, especially in fintech, telecom, and education sectors.

Shift Toward Indigenous Innovation: Over time, this boycott could accelerate the growth of Igbo-owned brands, startups, and services, creating a parallel economic ecosystem.

Social & Cultural Impact
Deepened Ethnic Divides: This would escalate already-tense ethnic sentiments and could lead to retaliatory actions in Lagos and other parts of Nigeria.

Cultural Awakening: The movement may also awaken a sense of cultural pride and push for self-reliance, similar to the 1950s Aba Women's Riot or the 1967 Biafra economic survival efforts.

Religious and Educational Fallout: Boycotting Lagos-based churches and schools (many of which are multiregional or globally affiliated) may fracture spiritual and intellectual alliances, possibly creating space for Igbo-owned institutions to rise in prominence.

Political Repercussions
Heightened National Dialogue: A mass boycott would force political leaders to confront long-ignored grievances, especially around federal equity, marginalization, and restructuring.

International Attention: If well-coordinated, such a movement could attract global media and human rights attention—particularly if framed around systemic exclusion or cultural erasure.

Reform or Retaliation?: The federal and state governments could either respond with reforms (dialogue, policy shifts, street name reversals), or escalate the conflict with political crackdowns, economic pressure, or propaganda.

Strategic Outcomes
Short-Term Chaos: Price volatility, product unavailability, and media outrage.

Medium-Term Adaptation: Companies may try to localize operations outside Lagos or create Igbo-targeted PR strategies.

Long-Term Transformation: Emergence of a dual economic axis—Lagos vs. Onitsha/Nnewi/Aba—as a counterbalance in Nigerian commerce.

Conclusion
Such a boycott would not be without sacrifice, but if carefully orchestrated, it could serve as a powerful protest tool—not just to demand equity but to shift power structures and redefine economic narratives in Nigeria. However, without clear goals and strategic leadership, it risks becoming a divisive act with limited gains.

Does a wrong make another wrong right? So the fact that Hitler demonized immigrants mean it’s good to go by same judgement?

Why not make excuses with a state like Rivers that has Yoruba names as streets and roads? No you won’t, because it does not fit your narrative.

kettykin:
It is not about hitting us hard at the heart. It is about teaching bigots a lesson they will never forget even after the have left this world to heaven or earth. The same way Israel is teaching Palestinians lessons they will no doubt take to after life. If this bigotry is left untreated, Igbos will be attacked 2027 elections and prevented from voting their choice. Igbos will be harassed with out any provocation. Some people have even taken the bigotry to Ghana and South Africa
