All these your lopsidedness achievement.... only God will open your eyes to the reality....

Lagosian are saying, create your own lagos in your region, you can't.. you are listings some horrible achievement..


Sir... Yorubas didn't build Lagos. Nigeria as a nation built it as her capital. From the roads to Airports, Seaports and bridges. I challenge you to tell us what infrastructures Lagos had before spending Oil money on it.


I challenge you too to name other Western states with such infrastructure like Lagos.

Should we say you guys are just catching up with SW?

Well, you guys are known for chest beating for nothing


Wake up! You didn't lead anything in Education, after Nigeria /Biafran war, we had to start from the bottom again.

I challenge you to bring names that can match these global academicians from your long led education system.

Inferirity complex has consummed you,your tribe and region...The development of a country is not by land-mass..

Ignoramus..

Singapore is smaller than Lagos by land-mass but can buy Nigeria including your useless arid North filled with retrogressive and unproductive humans and smelly equally unproductive SW who dreads having their own country.

You definately have Oil money which is shared according to useless land-mass equated with imaginary "large population" to thank for the little development you have..

By 2030 when the West does away wuth fossil-fuel,you all will chop sand and drink brown water.
E remain small.

Tah!!!
See this one talking of Singapore, how does your tiny underdeveloped Region equates to Singapore?

I said your tiny Region is the most under-developed in terms of Infrastructure. You are here speaking Grammer. Why don't you prove me wrong? grin

Your Eastern region is the size of a local government in the North yet, you can't Develop that tiny region? It is on record that, the East is the most under-developed region in terms of Infrastructural Development.

No wonder, you guys can't stay in your region. grin grin grin


Typical...

Most of you who claim East is not developed can not even afford half plot of land in the East. This is not some exaggerations.

Make out time, we can take you on a tour around for fact findings. but I know you don't have the liver to leave your momma's tities like the balless sissy that you all are in your region.

In as much as we Igbos(I'm delta Igbo) are built to succeed and prosper, I want to us to be more cooperative among ourselves and other southerners. Let's find a way to forgive old wounds and forge a southern unity so Nigeria can move forward. It's only the unity of Igbos and Yorubas that can move Nigeria forward being the biggest progressive tribes!

Who wants to waste his resources in an underdeveloped Region? A region were by the citizens can not stay, a region that is not contributing anything to the Economy.

This is why nobody wants to invest in a backward Region. That will amount to waste of resources. Even the Nigerian movies you are known for, you can't do them in your tiny Region cause it won't sell. grin

Yorubas are like the Whites who control their economies just like Yorubas control the economy of Nigeria with massive industries.
Traders do not control the economy of any nation, industries do.
Have you ever asked yourself why Ogun state is more developed than the entire SE and andwhy and why they generate IGR more than all Igbo states combined?
Yorubas are born developers, I mean real developers.Their history speaks for them,development wise.

Did Anthony Joshua,Olu Jacobs,Bayo Ogunlesi, Kase Lawal etc all made their names in Yorubaland?
Tayo Amusan built the biggest mall in Igboland.
Chicken Republic is in Anambra.

A Yoruba man owns a street in Enugu... There are Yorubas in the East.

When Tinubu started his ethnic politics, most of your people said Igbos don't sell lands to non igbos, most said east is not developed.

Look at the first line of my post that you quoted and you will see I stated: "most of you who say the east is not developed can't afford half plot of land in the east".

Why did I say this? Because lands in the East is pretty expensive, including on villages. No jokes... In a village in the SW, you can find land for 200-300k but in the east, you won't get for 1M.

Another reason I made that statement because your brothers who spew such nonsense about the undevelopment of the east are not exposed beyond the SW, never traveled far and are broke.

The ones you mentioned as having businesses in the SE WILL never say the East is undeveloped because they have traveled, they are exposed beyond the SW, they are not broke.

I have challenged a few, including on nairaland, among those who say Igbos don't sell lands to non igbos to bring their money and up to this minute, none has taken me up on that offer. So what does that tell you? It means they are just peddling fake rumors around.

An average igbo man know more about your land in the South West than the reverse. Even a Northerner is more willing to travel far within Nigeria...

The multi story in Onitsha alone dwarf the entire multistory in Ibadan... Let's not go other places...
