Pls leave yoruba ppl alone.They taught u how to abuse and u now abuse more than they do.Who doesnot know the wide gap between Igbo ppl and Yorubas?If Igbos leave Nigeria the great feat the country is known for will fanish.Its only federal character and Nigerian politics that s helping the Yorubas to speak where the Igbos r speaking.Lagos is enjoying federal govt opportunity but each time Yorubas claim the development there as their achievement.I know one day the Gbagi ppl will claim d development in Abuja as their own.It is allowed.
