But the Igbos were also part of the people that denied Lagos the special status now? Or have you forgotten?

See we both will remain cat and dog till death do us part. Seems you don’t share anything in common except the geographical location called south.

The earlier we understand this and deploy tactics devoid of another tribe’s support , the better for all of us.

2 bottles we don’t need igbos

What's your fixation on Igbos?

Are they the only people in Lagos?

If you are sincere to yourself you'd agree that Igbo investments in SW would be the highest earner of IGR amongst all. Even your leaders have acknowledged this. Even upnorth, Igbos enterprising spirit is celebrated.

People migrate to where there interests are served. If you are an importer, there's no way you won't have a thing or two to do with Lagos.

Those who buy and sell articles of clothing for instance must have a thing or two to do with Aba and Onitsha. There are lots of Yorubas who travel to Aba and Onitsha frequently for business. Some are resident there.

FG did not leave with all what it brought to Lagos for Abuja. The remnant has been built upon and collectively expanded.

Give the Yoruba's some accolades. They tried.

Capital or not Lagos is strategically located,

Imagine being the state with the gateway to Nigeria by land air sea all combined. Africa's largest market.

Unlike the Niger Delta states who had everything at a platter if gold but threw both the baby and bath water away.

Niger delta forcefully chased away IOC's from there region, after chasing them to Lagos they are here ranting up and down that the IOC's must sight there headquarters here. Look at what happened at Omoku, crisis drove away business, companies etc away, same thing happened at Ogoni now Etche.

Give Lagos(+Yoruba land) to the Niger delta and give Niger Delta to the Yoruba's.

10years later crisis and insecurity would chase out investments. And they would start blaming from Tinubu to Igbo people to Hausa to America.

Lagos was not the capital of the western region then but Ibadan. Lagos was capital of Nigeria since 1914 to 1990 so what do you think Nigeria did with her capital during this time? Nothing?

Yes nothing, because even before Lagos was made the capital, is Calabar not the formal capital? What was the significance of the capital if not for the British looking for a way to siphon the resources, the Calabar port was built to export resources and labours. So basically when Lagos was the capital nothing reasonable was put in place rather it became a point of exporting resources and Labours by the British, Lagos started achieving greatness properly during the regional government under the leadership of Awolowo. Abuja is the capital all this while and still the capital of Nigeria can't boost of 24/7 electricity. With all the money siphoned to Abuja I bet you if let say Federal government move the capital to let say Imo, in the next 5 years Abuja will be forgotten and nobody will want to stay there, because it is not viable. Yoruba built, developed and still developing Yoruba land.
I challenge you, mention infrastructure that was put in place when Lagos was the capital of Nigeria and it is still properly serving it purpose.
Take a good look at the Lagos airport under FAAN, is that nonsense an airport ? Airport that can not boost of something as simple as free wifi, free wifi that ordinary buses in western world have for their passengers. That airport is a dead infrastructure and all the Federal government care about is the revenue it's generate, out of 100% of Yorubas that travel abroad 90% uses that airport, out of 100% of Igbos that travel abroad 60% uses lagos airport the remaining 40% uses Abuja, out of 100% of Northerns that travel abroad 10% uses Lagos and the remaining 90% uses Abuja and we can say out of the 100% of other ethnic groups in Nigeria, 50% uses Lagos and 50% Abuja, you surely pay VAT when you fly that's is incorporated in your flight ticket so Yorubas pay the more tax in Lagos airport and still yet airport looking like a bus garage.

What if we Igbos too decide to partner with the Hausa. Let us all be submissive to them.

After all we ain't really loosing anything.

Igbos and the north make good allies history has shown that, its just this Biafra and Ipob stuff that keeps spoiling it, one day we will get over it.

If u want to make allies let it be based on fairness and equity not based on how to cheat another person

Walahi an average Igbo man cares more about the Yorubas than his own family.

Most Yorubas can’t even name the five governors of the SE but the Igbos are obsessed with us such that they are the ones that vote mostly online with likes and shares in a season of voting in the SW.

During Oyetola and Nurudeen Jackson (Davido’s uncle) election, the Igbos were all over the place thumbprinting online with likes and shares for Nurudeen and you will think it is a contest of Anambra state election.

Tinubu is on the lips of every Igbo born and yet unborn and you will think maybe he is the one holding the SE states IGR in his bank account or he’s the one depriving them of good roads.

Check igbos online, they always benchmark their success to that of the Yorubas. The Yorubas don’t actually have any competitor coz our only competitor is our shadows. But the Igbo man is not happy of his success until he can compare it with that of the Yoruba man.

If not for the Igbos living in the SW, the Yorubas wouldn’t have known you exist. There are actually a lot of Yorubas that don’t even know about the minorities of the SS and the middle belt. To some, anything after Kwara is Hausa and after Benin is Igbo. Who get time for other tribes in Yoruba land?

Lagos, Nigeria (ranked 79 overall): Lagos ranks among the worst cities for expats in the world and is even voted the worst in the Quality of Urban Living Index. Aside from a decent ranking (40th) due to the local climate and weather, Lagos can be found among the bottom 10 for each factor within this index.Dec 4, 2019

Dont mind them, they also love to spread propaganda, they spread lies of Awolowo betraying them, and that it was Ojukwu who released Awolowo from prison, of recent a video surfaced online where Awolowo went to visit Gowon immediately after Gowon order his release. They are so obsessed and envious of Yoruba people. If We Yorubas do not stop the Igbos from spreading lies and propaganda against Yoruba and her people, before we know it, they will lie to their next generation that Tinubu betrayed them. Tinubu never ruled them, Tinubu is not the one receiving their states allocations they hates Tinubu even before 2015 and would never stop spreading lies against him just like the way they did to Awolowo.

U guys got it all wrong though am hoping one day ur eyes will open to see d truth.

Most igbos debating with u over Yoruba politics are Igbos based in the west, naturally it has to be like that since these people don't have much contact with the east apart from the east being there state of origin.

Its just like a Yoruba man who grew up in Rivers state, u won't be surprised to see him engaging in discussions involving wike and rivers state. Is he doing it cause he envies rivers people or because thats were he has an idea of the politics based on it being his base

I don't know about the Igbos not supporting. Let's assume they did, don't you know that they would turn it to a south and North battle and as far as I am concerned there is not ties with the middle belt. So it's going to go in their favor the same way the age of marriage was cancelled out by yerima. When he had to force a another round of voting by accusing the Northerners who voted against that they were going against islam. If the North can go against the SW even when they voted and made sure Buhari came back what will be the date of the SE?

I was the one that created that thread about Gowon releasing Awolowo with the evidence from prints like New York Times, Guardian, Reuters, and video from Britishpathe.

The Igbos have an ideology of constantly creating lies and believing their lies. They also make sure they continually deny a truth, no matter what evidence you provide, they will never believe it.

Also, they can easily be polarized and psychologically controlled which explains why Nnamdi Kanu was able to polarize their thinking into believing Buhari is Jubril.

They condemn what they can’t have and satanize anything that’s not a creation of theirs.

Bro I have a question? Are Igbos in the SW more than the Igbos living in the SE in numbers?

If the answer is no, then I won’t believe what you are saying. Please try to carry out a social experiment on the Igbos online either on Nairaland or Facebook where you can verify their name. They tend to be too obsessed with the happenings of other tribes. They even exhibit the trait about the northerners too.

The Yorubas most time only talk about SE governor maybe if we want to retaliate and mock Abia state governor but you can’t see us involving ourself too much in SE politics. But the reverse is the case for most of the Igbos online.

Exactly bro, you did a great job creating that thread to put out the truth if not Igbos are very good at spreading lies and distorting historical facts, in that same thread, a stupid igbo person was still arguing and was requesting a video evidence where Gowon went to the prison and bring Awolowo out , I simply told him that Aguiyi Ironsi was the head of states for 6 months and could not ordered the release of Awolowo, which mean the Igbos never had good intention towards Awolowo from the time of Regional government, and if not for the wisdom of God Almighty to hide Awolowo in prison during the first coup, they would have killed him the way they killed Akintola. Great job bro

Brother I understand how you feel and where you are coming from. We all want the same thing, a better country to call our own where our kids will enjoy the benefit of a sane country.

However both Igbos and Yorubas have different solution to this problems. Most Igbo want a breakup from Nigeria entirely while like 75% Yorubas want restructuring and 25% want a total breakup (Just an educated guess).

This leaves us with a situation where consensus cannot be reached. No knowledge is superior, each of these divide has the advantage and demerit of their approaches.

Please don’t see those against a breakup like your enemy and insult them, people most often see life from a different perspective. What we gotta do is to keep listing out the advantage of our approach so that we can inturn convince the people with a different ideology on why they should follow our cause.

Also look at it like this, I’m not sure the Igbos and Yorubas have anything in common tbh. I’ve gone over the Yoruba history that predates 1900 and I haven’t seen much contact between the Igbos and Yorubas. The Yorubas have been trading with the Hausa since 1700 upward or thereabout. Even psychologically we don’t have thesame approach to situation and that needs to be factored in when we are trying to ally for a common purpose.

The major problem of both Yoruba and Igbo is that we are too fixated on our strengths such that we see other people ideas like inferior or an act of cowardice. The earlier we both understand that we are totally different and the southern mantra is just a demographics title, the better for us. Only then can we forge a true alliance to solve a common problem.

I am a realist and I don’t like trying to be politically correct.

Bro what is the unity about Nigeria? When have we ever been united? We have been having problem of tribalism even before independence.

We can’t even sustain our country for 6 years after independence when we plunged ourself into a war of tribalism and sorrows.

Check Nairaland front page, most guys here are not even always happy about the success of another tribe and they always resort to checking name first before they can celebrate success or condemn a criminal.

We should be realist, we actually don’t have a business delving into another state politics (except you reside there as migrant) in such toxic manner. The counter effect of that is that it breeds hate and heat up the polity more.

Awolowo and Ahmadu Bello actually understood this at the beginning which explains why they said Nigeria is just a geographical expression and we should recognize our differences always.

Most of you don’t know that the capital of Nigeria is majorly Lagos island during those formative days. Western region actually superintends some part of Lagos before the federal government actually took the rest of Lagos from the western region.

Hence the person you quoted was right when he said Awolowo also built Lagos. Infact there is an housing estate built by Odua groups then during the western region government, I forgot the name.

Infact Ikeja, Mushin, Agege, Ikorodu, Epe, and Badagry are all under the Western region authority before they were merged in 1967 during the creation of Lagos state.

A little snippet from Wikipedia give credence to my claim.

I have never insulted or insult anyone who doesn't support a break up. But where your right stops is where others start. You cannot have a country were a section does not feel the need to be in one.

I used Wikipedia to back my assertions since it is a basic means of information. You can do a little research to understand better.

Lol. Do you know Delta state collect more allocation than Lagos? Why can’t delta state be like Lagos if we are going by your analogy about only crude oil building it’s road?

How much is Lagos IGR compared to the allocation the state gets from the FG? Do you know how much Lagos remit in tax to the FG? Do you know how much Lagos generates from PAYE?

Everyone knows what Ghana did just of recent, closing shops of Nigerians. I think the Igbo's there were bragging that they developed Ghana too.

Nigeria started putting infrastructure in Lagos since 1914 and even before 1914, during the time of the protectorates and you compare with Delta whose allocation increase came as a result of Ibori fight after 1999? If it was done by Yorubas as you claim, why is Osun, Ekiti, Kwara, Oyo not upto 1/10 th of Lagos? Ogun is spill over from Lagos because Lagos has small landmass
