Tell them Illbliss if they can hear even though bitter hatred they have against great Igbos will not let them accept this bitter truth but who cares.

They thought hated great Igbos will make Igbos loose their self worth but they don't know their hating is making great Igbos more stronger.

They hate Igbos and Igbos hate them,so the hatred is mutual.

Why should Yoruba leave Onitsha when they contributed to the building of Onitsha? They were there when Enugu was founded, the same with PH. Some Ilesa people that I know can never leave PH because they made it there. They became multi millionaires in dollars there. If there are five hundred dollar millionaires in the SE, you will find Hausa and Yoruba among them in good numbers.

So it is not only Igbos that can't leave Lagos o. I know many Yorubas that can not leave the old Eastern region

mrvitalis:
No body is chasing you away from onitsha yorubas dominate sowing in onitsha

UncleAyo:
We also wish they can look homeward and give back to the economy of their region too. And make the region a place every Nigerians will cherish (covet and call a nomansland) and want to call home for her available opportunities.

All region in Nigeria must equally experience economic growth. Not until Yorubaland is overpopulated.

You (literally) can't give what you don't have or create what you can't replicate in your own home for others...

you have not even seen hatred.. it is 2027 election you will see hatred raw and live

Lagos State Nigeria has been a HOME to all TRIBES in Nigeria since 1914 till today. All Nigeria tribes OWNS Lagos Nigeria our former capital and also it's home to our colonial masters before they left Nigeria.

Lagos, Nigeria belongs to all of us Nigerians.

MrGerald:
When a kid talk you must know, see how paralyzed the daily commercial activities in Lagos become when majority of the Igbo leave on Christmas holiday, you think it's by dangote abi? Smes contribute more to development than whatever nonsense you're yabing if you don't know. Again PO isn't living in Lagos, he lives in Onitsha stop displaying your ignorance in public.

ArcSEMPECJ:
That's exactly why I wonder why Lagos booming could not help even Ogun State to develop faster....Ibadan did not develop because of Lagos State, it is because of the University of Ibadan , one of the 3 prestigious Universities we have then and also the teaching hospital, is never because it is near Lagos State even though it is a 2hrs journey interval....

What does it tell us?.....it tells us that the booming spirit and energy drive is not coming from the indigenes of those living near Lagos State so the development is not reaching other near States talk more of Osun, Ekiti, even Ondo ,...

Assuming Yorubas are the pointers of the energy drive in Lagos State, every SW state is supposed to have benefited immensely from Lagos State...

SonOfDSoil01:
stop crying, Ibadan the oyo state capital the size of your5plot region is far more developed and economically viable than all your potopoto land put together…..after Lagos, Ibadan host a lot of economic migrants from deprived region…..numbers don’t lie NwOSU 😂😂

SonOfDSoil01:
😂😂😂

Is this the lie you tell yourself? What contribution does your 2*2 shops make to the Lagos economy? The industries in Lagos are responsible for the development of Lagos because they pay huge taxes and create employment, but your 2*2 shop deface the the face of Lagos and you only employ nwa boy who are tribemen, with zero taxes on like the pay e system where company workers pay taxes to govt,so stop lying to yourself and move your business back to SE and let’s see if Lagos will paralyse like you wish😂😂😂

UncleAyo:
Does Anambra also belong to all of us Nigerian or it is only Yorubaland that can be shared? I'm just asking for a friend.

SHIVA001:
True talk we should accomodate each other, igbos don’t really like theirselves in their homelands main reason why Dey move to other part of the country or world for trading. Na fear of being killed at home when u are already excelling. Use to make them come to Lagos.
When u don’t even like yourselves u want other trybe to like and accept you…hmm okay ooo
Na why dem kpai fish magnate for anambra that year. Man wey dey excel for him business.

I wish your Hate speech can stop the West from bleeding, your problem is a man in Lagos, Doing business and paying tax, Not even your children in the forest, Hypocrisy will deal with this tribe like there's no tomorrow

dmxnairaland:
Kinda sounds like you're defending the deplorable state of Lagos, no?

The condition of whatever state I'm from isn't a valid excuse for the condition Lagos is in.

Lagos state's yearly budget is many many times more than that of most other states in Nigeria, even rivaling that of some nations, and Lagos is also the largest economic hub in West Africa.

With all that resource and opportunity, why is Lagos now such a mess? How can one defend that?

Anyways, to answer your question, I'm from Kwara....Hope you're satisfied.

The Awolowo rebirth in the Southwest has inspired gongs, songs and rhetoric of sorts. But they have missed one point.

It occurred to me in Abeokuta last week amidst the big crowds and euphoria of the swearing-in of Senator Ibikunle Amosun as governor. In all the states from Lagos to Edo, where Awo has witnessed ideological resurgence, hardly a single family member has played a role.

So we have an Awo family without an Awo. That is an irony. But history overwhelms us with this sort of twist. Obafemi Awolowo toiled for his reputation. His roots were lowly, he toiled to school both home and abroad, launched into careers in law, business, journalism and eventually politics. He carved a niche for himself, and became the first methodical and charismatic leftist in our history.  Other leftists abounded but they did not inspire comparable drama and following.

He faced tribulations, went to jail, failed in elections, won a few, but he imprinted his ideas and legacy in the country, and no single mortal has beaten him in the history of this country. His greatest achievement was in the area of ideas, and that was how he fashioned a family. Most families are born of biology but his issued from ideology. That family suffered with him.

In a spoof of Jesus Christ, these were the men who followed him in his teachings, and endured with him in his temptations. So he formed a kingdom for them in the Southwest, in the old Western Region, presiding over his projects, his legacies and people.

In all of these, the family he had was not his flesh and blood. In another spoof of Christ, who were his family anyway? Those who were with him must be counted as his family. So, I combed in the ambience of Babatunde Raji Fashola (SAN), and I found none. I went to Ogun, I frisked the crowd under Amosun’s bower, hardly any. Around Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola in Osun, I could not lay a finger. With Governor Kayode Fayemi in Ekiti, where are the forbears of Awo? Yet, I can hear the chants of Awo. Hardly in any of the inaugural speeches or any of their other public intervention would you miss the philtre and filter of Awo from these gentlemen. To parody Novelist Joseph Conrad, they are the sparks from Awo’s sacred fire, the messengers of the might within the man.

Already all of them are pursuing the legacy ideas of Awo: free education, free health services, infrastructural development, urban renewal and economic engineering.

Lagos has posted itself as the John the Baptist. The others are putting up valiant efforts, and the world of course is watching to see how well they will perform. It will call for great work, resourcefulness and cooperation. They are the real Awoists, and Awo was a man of rigour and vigour.

The Awo son that many expected to take after the father was Olusegun, who unfortunately died in a car crash. We shall never know if he could have pulled it off.  But the others have not shown much of the paterfamilias’ brio and depth. In the past decade, under this republic, they have blended with the wrong crowd. Even H.I.D, hobnobbed with Alao-Akala, who brought illiteracy to governance; with Oyinlola who turned the grace of office into a hell-hole of despots; with Daniel who could not arrest his quick fall into megalomania.

I wrote once that this woman whom Awo once described as the jewel of inestimable value has lost value to his cause. If he came back to life, he would have committed the extraordinary act of divorce after death. Even his newspaper, The Tribune, has so stumbled and fallen that it swims in Awo’s vomit.

MrGerald:
It's from the 2*2 shops most of the industries started from, no you won't believe it because you think it's impossible as you lack the foresight and patience that's why you chose fraudulent means to success.

DEMOO07:
Lagos belongs to all Igbos like every other contribute to the successes of the state. However, when you become something else, arrogant, overzealousness and excessively miserable by harassing the Yorubas in Lagos,then it becomes fire for fire. As gentle as we are, so we brave and wise. We only wait for the right times. Everyone is welcomed provided you know your boundaries.

This is a loose talk.

What did they bring from their village while going to Lagos. Majority of them went through the night bus with nylon bag.
Lagos made the Igbos, simple

ArcSEMPECJ:
Lagos State is a no man's land but unfortunately it is found in Yoruba soil....

It is a no man's land not because of the land area but in terms of Developmental strategies, all tribes in Nigeria joined hands to from Lagos State....

But by land property, it is unfortunate to be in Yoruba soil , Unfortunate because if that part of Nigeria where to be with South South or South East , Lagos State won't be this backwards ...

lightwind:
Your head get oil bro!

Exactly!!!

How i wished Lagos was part of south east or south south that is close to Atlantic Ocean like that, borders Atlantic Ocean... Just from there you get to other parts of the world through maritime Ocean way.

He for don developed more than this, my Igbo brothers could of used the opportunities to expand trade etc to other SE States.

You don't know anything about the HISTORY of Lagos and the reason behind almost all TRIBES in Nigeria can be found in Lagos.

If you don't know history of something, you keep quiet or you do a research about it, you don't come online and be writing things you know nothing about.

You mean as per donations? Is it not where most of the Igbos made wealth? He talks like they brought the riches from SE.
