Will you keep quiet? The whole of SE states can't total the whole of Oyo state. That's the cold truth.
That's why I said you guys are very ignorant

Onitsha metro city started from Headbridge Onitsha end at Umuya which is 18.5 km, then from Nsugbe to Oba 18.4, mind you we are still discussing Onitsha metro yet to measure Awka and Nnewi.

Yeah, I was still a kid when we lived in Bauchi. Na big contract make us relocate to Lagos in Late 80s cos mumsy hit contract to work with one company at What is now called Teslim Balogun stadium. All those building materials at the foundation of Teslim Balogun Stadium Before the contract was discontinued for some time , na my mama supply am. She had a quarry back then... At Abeokuta... Na when money dey that year before things collapse lol

She put most of relatives for strategic positions, one even get money from there to leave Naija To Yankee ..the first among his siblings. I remember being carried on tractor and I tried to stir the wheel lol... I couldn't.

Travel make brain. I will resume the movement from middle of the year. Though I don't intend to stay in Benin except to stop by See some faces and continue my journey to Delta State.

Nice meeting u too bro. I spent 15 years in Benin..

We are all paper tigers no mind all these fight... All these fight na nairaland e end, thankfully.

Doesn't it amaze you that Igbos and Yorubas are the Most intermarried ethnic group in Nigeria?

My best friend for hustle na Yoruba.


When I had health issues and needed urgent medical attention, na my Yoruba friend from nairaland use her medical doctor husband influence break barriers such that I scaled through what could have taken weeks and had it done 48 hours at Ife teaching hospital because I needed to get back to base for my project.

And why did the husband do it? Cos she told him that before she met him, I was the person helping her when she was faced with lots of financial crisis being the first child and the most surprising thing then was I never set my eyes on her before helping. In fact going for the medical treatment was my first time setting eyes on her.I stayed at their house for almost a week before moving.

So bros, leave all these nairaland fight... After everything done, I still cross the road to buy food stuff from the aboki at my area and next to the aboki is a Yoruba man selling beef... I don turn regular customer so much that if he doesn't see me, he boys will ask whether I traveled.

Some times I refuse recharge my data using Bank codes just to make sure I buy from a Yoruba woman where I also some times but other things.

In fact, I don't even remember most of all these talks and fight after I log off.

But bros, Shey na true say ur head big ni?

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.

Sir Louis Ojukwu contributed more in building Apapa seaport more than any Yoruba.

Lagos seaport was built before the Amalgamation of Nigeria. The first housing estates in Nigeria as built in Ikeja by Awolowo. The first Nigeria industry lay out was built in Ikeja by Awolowo.

Oga... I said whatever Lagos enjoys today, is as a result of massive investment of federal government in time past, same goes to Abuja. They weren't self made states.

Ogun state! Google for the meaning of the word Capital flight. Ogun state is enjoying lack of space in Lagos, not because it has better infrastructures, and having said that, many of these companies don't pay tax and when they make money they launder it out of Ogun state.

To prove my point, a Chinese firm bought a quarry in Ogun, I don't want to mention the exact location, for 50million Naira only, they've spent over 4 years there. They sell nothing less than 80 trucks of granites daily, meaning they make an average 5 million per day, and the community road is bad, raising dust affecting the residents health, Sir... These people don't have any forms of investment in this place, is that the type of industries you have boost of?

Abeokuta still has a lot of mud houses, why?
