Kindly divide this contraption. We are willing to go so you can name your roads even your father’s name.

If you’re willing to go, then why are you still here after 5 amendments to the 1999 constitution and repeated attempts to be president of big country Nigeria? Was that how Singapore pulled out of confederated Malaysia in 1965- through random, inconsequential online and offline expression of desire?

Why are your senators and representatives as well as your other politicians not in sync with your desire to divide this contraption

What are they benefiting from the contraption that is tying them down to it?

BalogunIdowu:
Na Una dey create unnecessary problems.
Why should there be a change in name?

In light of Ohaneze demanding that Lagos should be reverted to a federal capital despite Abuja being so, I think every aspect of Lagos must reflect her Yoruba ownership and heritage .
Monuments and roads named after other Nigerian patriots should still remain so but any named after anyone from the SE needs to be renamed asap .

Lagos Oba traces origin to Benin,

After what looked like a clever way to explain his refusal to shake hands with the Ooni of Ife at a recent function in Lagos, the Oba of Lagos, Oba Rilwan Akiolu, has come out to make another categorical statement that he should not be associated with the Yoruba culture and tradition, which most critics said he violated. Palace Watch had reported that Lagos had a way of greeting, which was what Palace sources explained was observed, when the two Obas met.

But last week, in Lagos, the Oba said Lagos State is not part of Yoruba land. According to a statement from Iga Idugaran, Palace of the Lagos King, Oba Akiolu was quoted as saying: “I was told by my late paternal grandmother, who was a descendant of Oba Ovonranwen Nogbaisi, and with facts from historical books, let me share this knowledge with you all on Eko or Lagos, as it is popularly called.

“Modern day Lagos was founded by Prince Ado, the son of the Oba of Benin. Prince Ado was the first Oba of Lagos, and he it was that named the town Eko, until the Portuguese explorer, Ruy de Segueira, changed the maritime town to Lagos, which at that time from 1942 was Portuguese expedition centre down the African Coast.

“It was a major centre of slave trade, until 1851. Lagos was annexed by Britain via the Lagos treaty of cession in 1861, ending the consular period and starting the British colonial period.

Lagos Island, where the Oba’s palace is located, is owned by Bini kingdom. This is why the first Portuguese explorers liaised with the Oba of Bini rather than the Alaafin in the 15th century.

Several insignia of Lagos royal families and the names of the first kings reflect that Bini heritage.

Focusmind:
They should just do interlocking on that stretch of the road to avoid any future repairs

Interlocking roads in Lagos have proven to be the solution to constant washing off of the roads by rains

All the interlocked roads in Lagos are still strong without any issue, even when there is absence of good drainage system

Coal tar and bitumen use have not helped Lagos roads

All the inner roads constructed with interlocking paving stones have remained but those coal tar roads have been washed off by the rains

Conduct referendum for them today and you will see how they will vote overwhelmingly to remain in Nigeria.
You think they don't know that their SE without Nigeria is a dead end ?
Even if by chance they vote to leave by a slim majority, I can tell you that half of their population will run into Nigeria and refuse to leave .

How many times will they repair Lekki-Epe express way

Ankakh:
As the tweet said, the really frustrating part is where motorists have to pay road worthiness for a road that is not worthy of the vehicles.

Nobody will divide Nigeria, if your leaders in the Southeast are keeping quiet. You have Senators and other leaders , let them speak out and you guys boycott anything from the federal and state government.

And move to your region , then we will know that , you guys are serious . Without that , you are not serious

This nobody is looking for attention. There you have it. Now, crawl back under the rock from whence you came.....you are probably seven years old, always looking for attention.....every thread must be turned into a tribal one.....rename the road after your father and every other road named after an Igbo person make we rest for people like you.
