It hurts when I read thrash like this coming out from people who themselves had renamed, demolished and outrightly banned people from visiting and hosting religion gathering in their region.

When it is done by the Igbo, it is right, but the moment others do theirs then all hells would be let loose.

The hypocrisy and self entitlement is nauseating.

As a Lagos indigene, do you know how many of my properties, family heritage have been taken, destroyed without compensation?

The roads, schools, hospitals, barracks, government institutions in Lagos state was once someone's ancestral property taken by same dysfunctional system without compensation.

The soul of true Lagos indigene cries for liberation from oppressors within and outside.

You have not seen anything yet, the game is just starting

We warned them in 2023 that the nonsense they tried nonstop with the north that the Yorubas wont take1m 1/8 of it. They called us bygot even after they have their Peter ibi over 90% of their votes while we have Tunubu just over 50%.

Now they are crying everywhere acting as if they are victims. And we have not even started yet. grin

The Olukumi issue also has to be brought to the table. Igbos must assert their ownership of Olukumi migrants settlements

Charkly boy that was owing gouse rent b4 he left ? Ask Wunmi n her husbabd for full gist.

Tinubumustgo:
Do you know that Charley boy gave over 2500 motorcycles free to empower people around Charley boy bus stop area in Gbagada.

He gave a lot of people scholarships in that area and took people off the streets.

Charly boy moved into the area in 1989 and left the area around 2006.

Charly boy is the spirit of Charly bus stop. He didn’t name the bus stop, the people named the bus stop in his honor because of his impact.

A lot of people benefited from him.

Facts don’t lie!

Social media is destroying our nation. Most of these issues have always been around but because voicing them out hasn't been easy with traditional media, now social media has made it worse and the political class are also feasting on it. It's just unfortunate, that those who are loudest online don't even have a set of chairs to their names.

No one fought to have the Igbos back.

If you recall, Yorubas were indifferent and didn't pay attention to the Igbos since Igbos have always been insignificant. What happened was that Igbos passed their boundaries by leaving Igboland and marching across the Midwest facing Ore and the West.
That marked the downfall of Biafra. They were beaten by Yoruba soldiers like dogs.

These are big ignorant lies. The Biafran Military invasion of the Midwest (operation Touch)happened some time around August 1967. Meanwhile , the invasion of Bonnyy started July 1967 and was led by Benjamin Adekunle . Adekunle invaded Bonny before Biafra military invaded Midwest.

They fought for land ,the territory of Nigeria Ebos are free to go

The Eboes did a coup in January 1966 and killed our leaders the consequence is forfeiture of land.
The land is conquered

The borders are open and they can return to Jerusalem

If they ban social media now, everyone will start shouting. Honestly, the next wave of communal clashes will be a fallout of social media if we don't take time

The fight was to stop Ojukwu from seizing and taking over Yorubaland after he invaded Ore and Okitipupa

The invatiton to SE people to return to Lagos after the War was an act of forgiveness , brotherly love and kindness to help them recover from the devastation of the War since their neighbours were unwilling to have them because of the very savage behaviour they had suffered at the hands of the Biafran Soldiers

It did not make Lagos a No Man's land
