Bishop Ajayi Crowther, created first igbo dictionary filled with borrowed Yoruba terminology, change it first.

So it's no longer bible, it's dictionary now?

Well, the question remains the same... How can you create a dictionary of a language that you can not understand?

CHANGE OZUMBA NBADIWE

PORTABLE OMOLALOMI ASAP!

Very soon we will. So, remove the bucket by your side and replace it with a GeePee tank (for more capacity to contain the tears).

when Anambra change name of abalike to ana anmbranian name ...what type of politics is that ?

Mabuggi88:
Intelligent by half. You are writing those above for little children abi we in Nigeria with the realities at hand. If not inferiority complex what can make you rename a street named by your fathers

Park well what consign you with Lagos renaming her street

the reality at hand is the numbers I just showed you 😂😂😂 numbers don’t lie nwokem.

I’m not even using Lagos as a standard to compare our economic prowess grin oyo state is just the size of your 5 barren region and yet you can’t measure in development and economic viability, that’s why you have to desert your region

Aside from Lagos, go to Ibadan and see the number of your migrant blodas, some hawking in traffic like we have in Lagos, so how can we be inferior to people who left their home to seek Better life in my region?? Why not return back home, make we check something 😂😂😂

Your question is not clear please

erniok:
What has this got to do with the correction I pointed out.

All I was trying to say is, Benin was ruled by Oranmiyan of Osun in 13th century, which created linked between Edo and Yoruba that made them discovered Eko. So tell me more.

Shawarmagirl:
You don't know an Igbo man. He will put tenant there be collecting rent. A case study of my dad. His two houses is in Lagos, fully occupied with tenants. His lawyer collect rent and once in a while he visit Lagos.

I think his occupancy certificate will due after 100yrs and Lagos govt will take over possession. lobatan👌

Just found this to be true about the rulership.
On the other hand, eko was discovered based on the expansionism quest of the benin kingdom.

latiephwald:

And you think Lagos is keen on revoking CofO after the 100 yes expiration than renewing it? If so, why are they still issungbfresh CofOs to non indigenes.

Tochitee:
So you chinedu ,”you are the spoke man for the real lagosian? My father is a born Lagos island man, and a guy that moved from anambra to Lagos just two years ago and got the job by quota system told me in the office I should move out of Lagos to my state ? I don’t know what’s fueling this Ibo peoples pride? I don’t understand how people can be so shallow and condescending! It was a colleague that had to tell him that you an Ibo man telling a lagosian to move out of his state, where do you want him to move too??

Yes, I am Chinedu and yes, I am a Nigerian and the last time I checked, the constitution guarantees me freedom of movement and association. I can live anywhere and everywhere I can put my presence and if I contribute to the state and perform my civic duties, I have every rights like any other citizen. I respect the indigenous people, however, I need to be accorded the same. So if a street is named in my name, why this tribalism... This action of government trying to rewrite history and erode people's legacies is wrong. It's divisive. When this gains traction, it won't be funny...


APC is not a progressive party but a divisive one.

RodgersAkpafu:
This is because of the fact that they are jittery and scared of losing power in lagos

Obi winning Tinubu in Lagos really rattled them

APC minions mostly are lazy folks tapping from the state purse
The prospect of being kicked out is scaring then so much they are resorting to this rubbish

Lol...


The elites so far have covertly or overtly supported the moves since 2023 and you describe them as lazy? Aside from Falana, have you read any elite come to condemn the policies so far? When Igbos including non-Igbos who seemingly look like Igbos were flogged, some canes were laced with Juju, how many Yoruba elites condemned it?

Those are the indolent folks?

Lol

Lol

The APC elite is the people I am referring to
They are the lazy ones who are connected to the lagos purse

And to answer your question,, quite a number of elite people have been condemning the Yoruba Ronu

But those ones are financially independent

Most of the APC Lagos elite CANNOT BOAST of survival without baba sope

We know

madridguy:
I'm still waiting for you to show me any Edo names in any part of Lagos.

See this one? Oba of Benin has been saying it for years but u can pretend to have selective amnesia. We understand.

The fact remains the truth cannot change.

Ttalk:
Park well what consign you with Lagos renaming her street

Inferiority complex

jmoore:
Chai!! All these Monday Okpebhloho students.

Una go explain tire. LAGOS is the name and it's Portuguese.

you know nothing. As Edo man, we do called Lagos Eko as far back in 80s and it's pure yoruba word. You can't leave your east and tell the west how to handle things. Igbos are not the only tribe in Lagos and because you all like to poknose for what is not your consigns, is what you people are suffering from today.

BREAKING NEWS: STREET NAME CHANGE ALERT:

ETI - OSA LOCAL GOVERNMENT JOINS OTHER LOCAL GOVERNMENT TO CHANGE SOME STREET NAMES IN LAGOS STATE

I love what is happening and hope it get to the point where igbos will have sense by force. Go to ago palace, heavy structures for hotels and residence 98% igbos. One I know is for sure if the igbos decide to be wise and develeop the east. The regrets will be on the west cos tee economy in the west especially Lagos will seriously be affected and by the, the igbos would have started understanding the importance of developing their region and there will be no going back by then. Rents and other things that traffic help go high will drop.many things will change if that can happen

owobokiri:
While you arw at it, Remember to change Victoria Island to Remi Tinubu Wonderland ..
Wtf..

Actually we don’t want to change names if they’re English, only the typical Igbo names are the targeted ones! There are many other Igbos with English names that haven’t been changed.

Concerning the House Rent .... in Lagos today Naa the igbo people make it high if it left for Yoruba people House rent for 3bedroom will not be more than 500k in Lagos ... because a common Igbo man will want to show off, that I can afford everything attitude
