Hahaha for your mind. Igbos started migrating to lagos in bits after the almagamation and in mass after independence. Do i look like a fool to you do you think am talking abt 1970 am talking of the slave trade era( late 1800's) when there were no cars. Besides i dont claim lagos.

So your great grand father migrated to Lagos in 1800s? Well going by your analogy, there are some igbos who have their grand father, fathers an a family house in Lagos too. I happen to be one and my family house is at Shomolu, Oshineye street. So should I claim Lagos?

computerboy:
You still go ahead to make yourself a fool. Ofcourse whenever you argue with anybody from the SW they all claim indigenes of lagos even when some of them haven't been to lagos but then are you seriously comparing anambra to lagos? If lagos started same way anambra started, I bet even ekiti would be better than them.

You're talking about a state that has been the capital of Nigeria. A state with international airport, seaport and major borders where imported goods comes from. A state where almost all multinationals have their headquarters. A state with the highest population. Why won't they have the highest revenue?

Now lemme tell you about anambra. Anambra was created in 1991 when Enugu became a separate state. Of course Enugu state took the whole amenities the state had, being that Enugu was the former capital of Anambra. Enugu took the airport, the federal university amongst others.

The new Anambra was built from the scratch. Even without any seaport, airport or a major border, We still hold the biggest market in West Africa. Even without oil and big companies having their headquarters here, we never lacked. Our poverty ratio is still one of the lowest.

You should be ashamed of yourself comparing anambra to lagos. For the two states to be comparable is even a thing of shame to lagos.

u re really a true son whose aim of going to sch was successfully achieved.don't quote him again,he isn't worth d time

Look at the type of junkies the igbos appoints as leaders. Instead of formulating policies to improve his state, he his busy gallivanting to Lagos for an irrelevant church service. Are there no churches in the south east? What economic benefit is this senseless visit to his state? The east is the least developed region in Nigeria excluding imo state led by rochas because other governors fail to put on their thinking cap. Ebonyi state governor the other day was distributing foreign made SUV's, instead of going for a cheaper option in innoson while most people in his state cant afford 3 square meal. This is how the eastern leaders waste their tax payers money on irrelevancies and instead of their youths to hold them accountable, they will instead blame Buhari for their woes and start screaming biafra as if angels will be their leaders in their imaginary biafra. Shame on IPOB yoots

Least developed? As in less developed than Ekiti et all? The only place that is marginally more developed than the East is Lagos which of course is a nomansland developed by Easterners.
BTW, try and travel around to broaden your views. A lot is happening beyond your present horizon.

See i dont want to argue with you please you know the truth but choose to distort it. All the way from Alaigbo down to Lagos in an era when there was no car how did he do it? Did he walk all the way passed through Yoruba villages and settled in Lagos that was nothing in the 1800's. When the british was still fighting Jaja of Opobo in far away alaigbo. Your grandfather might have been priviledged to migrate to Lagos after the almagamation in the era of Great Zik and owned a house in Somolu but he cannot lay claim to a land occupied by a set of people way before the white man arrived.
Early record of events only mentioned the portugese merchants trading with Aworis, Egun, Ijebus and Ijaws never mentioned igbos. You are a terrible liar.

can you point out any state in the east that is doing better that his state ABOKI

The lagos state government pays it's workers on the 23rd of every month without owing any one while u shamelessly brag about anambra's 27th day of the month payment. The monthly IGR of lagos dwarfs the entire IGR of the 5 South eastern states combined. The work rate of Ambode at developing lagos makes every igbo youth wanna migrate to lagos to sell gala in traffic. Now that street hawking has been banned, the igbos are the ones lamenting the most. Obiano might be a demi god to your village, but when it comes to comparisons with lagos, he is not better than a local government chairman. I am an indigene of lagos and I'm proudly yoruba

okay.i also know Lagos is just 1 state in southwest.i wait to hear about osun,oyo n dose semi villages u have as states

RRoyaId:
Now you are suddenly from Lagos, no more Osun state. Every yorubaman must be from Lagos. Continue!

Amazingly, I have never seen a Yoruba person claim any other place other than Lag, I wonder indeed..Ask them which part of Naija you from bro," I be Lagos boy now"..

Stop insulting SE, apart from Lagos/ Abuja for obvious reasons, no region in Nigeria is better than SE..We all need development in all our regions..

I pray you visit Anambra state in your lifetime so that you can eat your words!!!This is nothing but armchair theorising.Anambra State is the only state in Nigeria where citizens have been building public infrastructures roads etc for over 30years without any federal support.We are very proud of how far we have come as a people!!!.Anambra state has the greatest concentration of billionaires in the whole of Nigeria.Anambra indigenes are responsible for all the developments happening there.Can we say the same of Lagos State?

good analysis...but i have one question for u...if going by ur analysis that Lagos is not to be compared with anambra bc white men arrived there first and developed it including having been formal capital and hosting multinational company headquarters; why then do ur people (anambrarians) compare Ebonyi in terms of development even when places like onitsha have been developed far back as well like Lagos by white men...or is it when the cap fits your people well there will remember to put it on their head.....answer reasonably without throwing insults

Your likes seem to reach a conclusion from a distance. Am sure you have not been to the East let alone Anambra State but yet you are quick to make derogatory conclusion of the people and zone. To even make matters worse, you mentioned Rochas on the line with this gentleman; smacks of nothing less than lack of knowledge of real meaning of true governance. Obiano is a pace setter when it comes to purposeful leadership. I think Aregbesola, Ajimobi and even Rochas can learn a thing or two from him. Check ur facts before u rant next time.

My grand father migrated to Lagos, his father brought him to Lagos.

So if you can claim Lagos, I can claim too.


So you better stick to Ogun state while I stick to Imo state because that is truly where we are from. 90% of people in Lagos are like us.. So get off your high horse and stop claiming what doesn't belong to you. You are from Ogun state, compare your state to that of Anambara and leave Lagos out of it. Ogun state has so many great men, I don't know why you guys are hell bent on claiming Lagos.

I hate all dis south yeast boiz, they just selling fake electronics here in ODOTU street, Ondo town. I want their boiz out of this Ondo town, but 4 their yellow girls they can still remain in our brothels as prostitute they are.

If you read my previous quote to you i never claimed lagos. I only said its an ancestral home to Yorubas like the Aworis, Ijebus and Eguns.

AtlanticBreeze:
your post is right except where you said peter obi did a wonderful job.. What wonderful job did peter obi do in Anambra? Be specific.. Some ignorant folks have been buying this propaganda. The same peter obi that left Anambra as one the poorest states in Nigeria?

Peter Obi rehabilitated over 90% of the existing roads and built hundreds of new ones. All communities in Anambra have multiple interlinking roads. Journey from any community in Anambra to Awka the capital is an average of 15 mins. He therefore succeeded in opening up access the capital thereby reducing rural-urban migration within the state.
He also rehabilitated all the state primary and post primary schools complete with teachers quarters and deployed state of the art ICT equipments to all schools and bought brand new busses for them. He then handed back the ones owned by the churches back to them for their total control but the state government pays their salaries.
This complete overhaul of government schools was what birthed excellence being manifested by public secondary schools since the part 5 years in public exams and interstate school competitions.
These are the two areas he performed excellently. All Anambra people that visit home will attest to this.

Willie is trying. But what is helping him to shine much more is the power of the social media. He sells his achievements better than Obi.

your just a big fool....

AtlanticBreeze:
According to statistics, yorubaland is one of the poorest regions in Nigeria. All yoruba governors are owning backlog of salaries to their workers.. No yoruba state is viable. Lagos is a FG project. You are not even from Lagos.. Despite all the revenue ambode is getting in lagos as a result of FG citing its economic power in Lagos, obiano is still a better governor than ambode, has more projects than ambode. Anyway, I wish we can take about your state and leave lagos alone

Yoruba land is poor, but you and your people including your forefathers generation wont stop trooping out of your economically depressed and unproductive villages to the SW for your daily bread .



Yoruba land is poor, but you and your people including your forefathers generation begged and dobale to stay and make a living in Akure.


Yoruba land is poor, but you and your people including your forefathers generation are still fighting each other over eze BS and survival in Ibadan


Let me educate you a little bit, people don't leave their own towns and villages to migrate into poor and poverty areas, it makes no sense, you migrate into Yoruba land because you are poor, desperate and willing to do anything to survive.


If there's really poverty in Ibadan, Akure and other Yoruba cities, they should be the ones migrating into your imaginary rich and powerful iboland for survival instead of you and past generations migrating into Yorubaland.

This is basic economic theory and dynamics...


This is common logic, but of course, the need to beat your empty and shallow chest overrides your sense of judgement, sanity realities..


The most important achievement and dream in iboland is to catch the next ekenedilishuku bus heading to the SW...

Ok you win.my point is just that its easier for me as an ijebu to liase with my fellow ijebus in Ikorodu and Epe in Lagos because of my Yourba Heritage than an igbo with heritage all the way from Imo but have been in Lagos from time immemorial to lay claim to Lagos. No matter how British a Danny Welbeck is he will still be referred back to Africa or the Carribean and a Bale who is Welsh,his grandparents are English and he is white.

bakynes:
You make mockery of yourself. You igbos are just jealous of the Yoruba laying claim to their ancestral home "Lagos". You cannot blame the Yorubas for the British coming to the entity called Nigeria through their land.


I have repeated this story to educate people like you many times and am tired.
The colony of lagos is different from Lagos State of today. Colony of Lagos is just a small area where the british established an administrative control over the entire Nigeria and these places are Victoria Island, Ikoyi and Marina. When they left part of the Western region was added to make it Lagos state. ikorodu,Epe, Ajah, Lekki side were Ijebuland before the creation of state. The Ikeja downwarda towards the Alagbado side was Awori land. The Badagry side was Egunland.
So please Educate yourself before spewing thrash. Nothing you can do or say will change the fact tha Lagos State is Yoruba ancestral land. We have a Governor in place, traditional rulers in place and all other administrative and cultural structures in place and nothing will ever change that.

you are on point about the difference between Lagos City and Lagos State. Kindly educate your brothers likewise

Complete rubbish.. The same substandard narrow roads that the obiano govt is now spending money to patch everywhere? Peter obi turned Anambra into a big village. The few roads he did were substandard and will need a complete overhaul in the next 3 years. Have you compared the quality of Ngige roads with peter obi roads? Lets not even talk about the fact that he didn't construct any dual carriageway in a big state like Anambra for 8 years.
About schools, there is no big deal about handing schools over to missionary, what I found irritating was peter obi claiming credit for the performance of Anambra students (including public and private) in examinations.. That's very petty. What did he do about the state university? do you realize the ANSU students were on strike for the better part of his tenure?
Peter obi is just propaganda, the more you look the less you see.. Unlike for obiano that already has capital projects to his name in less than 2 years and is paying salaries despite the bad economy. Remember, peter obi was governor during the oil boom with nothing to show.. Obiano is far ahead of obi in governance
