Aigbofa:


You are deluding yourself my dear ibo supremacist. Yorubas were living in the North before ibos knew there were humans living there, and that is the truth.

It was the war and lack of land that made migration more widespread than others, nothing else.

The "baba Oro" from Kwara was trading with Taiwan and Japan long before China became a new thing for ibos. Not trying to put you down but that is also the truth.

scoleman:


i'm not deluding my self young man, you claim yorubas have been to the north since 100bc, if i may ask why are the igbos concentrated in the north than the yorubas? why do they have huge amounts of investments scattered in the north? but yet these are the people you have labeled as late comers. i hate it when you talk about past glory, Do you think after the war, after the destruction, igbos would have been proud of their past achievements assuming they didn't develop and reconstruct igboland? , wouldn't we be laughed at, most especially by you yorubas. Keep swimming in delusion. Yorubas are lagging behind presently, the igbos are miles ahead of you guys, Take it or leave it. the whole world have taken notice.

Aigbofa:
Perhaps they complain the most.

Aigbofa:


You are twisting the narrative, Yorubas have never complained about about others living amongst them, be they ibo or European.
When you start boasting that you developed Lagos, you cannot blame others for refuting your tall stories.

scoleman:


Yes i know we have the penchant for boasting but it is the truth, it is out of pain and envy you guys do what you do, why dont you channel the Ánger/envy/energy to changing the attitude of your comrades, let them get involved in trade and commerce and see if the tide won't turn.

The attah of igala gave the igbos free land because he knows the igbos as developers, if i may ask who was the first civilian to invest in Abuja? it was an igboman!

Presently, 70% of the real estate in Abuja are owned by the igbos, this is no farce, it was the former minister El-rufai who labeled Abuja The 6th State Of The East. But when other Nigerians heard it especially the ones from the SW, they barked and wailed that it is a lie, but when Abuja was barren with no houses, No one invested there, it was the igbos who believed in her and went there whole-heartedly. We shouldn't hide from the truth because of ethnic preference and bigotry.

Igbos didn't develop Lagos single handedly but they contributed to her growth, if contributions are rated by percentage, out of a 100, igbos contributed 40 and they are still contributing.


this is the naked truth!!!

scoleman:
Assuming Enugu was made capital tomorrow, and igbos start saying it is igboland, do you think nigerians will be happy to spend their taxpayer's money developing the so called "igboland"

when they keep saying Lagos was developed by cocoa, i just shake my head. Such wickedness, when they were busy developing the former capital with proceeds from crude oil, did any easterner say it is our oil, it belongs to us! this shows how united we are.

Do you think cocoa would have built the third mainland bridge and at the same time take care of other national/regional needs? Never, it is impossible.

it was that bridge that spurred the growth you see in Lagos today, Take it or leave it but yet some people will call it their own land

Chai , we are united in deceit. when oil finish, we go see the true colors of every ethnic group claiming to be a Nigerian.

Aigbofa:



It is the boasting and the ridiculous exaggerations that people detest about ibos. If ibos have said they have contributed to the development of Lagos, I don't if anyone would have argued with that.

But, when you make wild exaggerations like we own 90% of Lagos 99% of Kano and such nonsense people are bound to ridicule you.

Aigbofa:


If Yorubas are lagging presently why are ibos crying the most.
The truth is the truth my "superior" brother.

scoleman:


spare me those western conspiracy theories, if i may ask what is working in nigeria, Are we truly one? can you call nigeria a nation? do you have patriotic citizen among the igbos? Even if you have, are all igbos happy to be called a Nigerian? how can you marginalize a certain ethnic group and expect them to swallow it and keep quiet, how can you call Lagos that was built with oil money gotten from the eastern region a yoruba only land, it was a former capital hence it is nobody's land, the same is applicable to abuja but because Lagos is located in the southwest, the yorubas decided to say Lagos was built by them with cocoa money forgetting that most of the bridges and roads we see in Lagos were built after the oil boom, they even went as far as threatening to throw the igbos into the lagoon and also protesting, carrying placards saying, igbos leave our land, lagos is yorubaland, igbos this, igbos that.

if i may ask, were these constructions listed below built with Cocoa money?

Third mainland bridge
carter bridge
Festac Town
Satellite Town
Tin Can Island
National theatre Iganmu
National Stadium Surulere
Federal offices
Julius Berger Built road

Yet some people will say, Lagos have been developed since time immemorial, since Lagos have been developed, what happened to the regional capital IBADAN, why is she still under developed.

Pure lies and hypocrisy!!!

Remember that brick and mortar last for a short while, so give Lagos 20 years without the igbos/easterners who contribute tremendously to the IGR and growth of lagos it will crumble or remain as it is now.

Where is the ancient Babylonian capital today? In ruins



We are not one Abegi, Nigeria works for some section of the country, not for everyone.

Olabestonic001:


You are a very funny dude and hilarious too.
The major hubs spearheading Lagos meteoric rise were build after 1999.
After the FCT was moved to Abuja, Lagos went into comatose and the emergence of Democracy saved it from being an ancient city.
Lekki, Ajah, Oniru, the various shopping malls were heavily developed after 1999. You lots believed in your words without even knowing what really is the epicentre of present Lagos.

When I was growing up a kid built a radio transmitter using local stuffs in mbaise and it ain't new..when we were kids we built local guns it ain't new and when we were growing up..dadddy was an electrical engineer and brother mechanical engineer ...with BSc he has mad at us not knowing maths and we also have this drive towards science ...this isn't bragging ...the buafran war was a good case study of how we igbovcan be technological guru.

These things are not new..if you grow up in the East you will see kids building stuffs from small rockets tobguns then small battery cars ..a while lot of sciences


To me I think East should focus on STEM courses in schools that's science technology engineering and maths ...igbos are good at that and literature and arts Igbo are also good at that

Leave law and accounting for Yoruba then Hausa can focus on cattle rearing

[s]Igbo people SMH. That you claim to be intellectuals but you do not know that you are just a pawn in a western geo-political agenda to get you to leave Nigeria so they can enslave you.
No i am not say you are not all those things, you might or might not i dont know, but what i do know is that, western countries mean nothing well for you. The UN does not mean anything good for you. And truly speaking, when it comes down to it, the only people on earth who truly has your back is that Yoruba or Hausa man. Same goes for every other tribe.
I am so surprised that the igbos of all people's fell for the western Trick. The Hausas did not fall for it. They saw Boko Haram and shamed them for the instrument of destruction that they truly were. That single act is what kept Nigeria together. Else we have truly broken up in 2015 as the CIA predicted back in 2012 after they finished their test run on the disintegration of Nigeria.
The Igbo people should know this, We all know about the Northern dominance problem in Nigeria. And every one agrees that something should be done about it. Nigeria is the most strategic, most important country in western and chinese interest.
Now, this would work for them any how we are [broken or together] but it will only work for Nigerians if we stay together. If Biafrans go, you have simply enslaved yourselves.[/s]

Apart from the bridges, the others were in comatose before 1999.
