If not for Nigerians working together, Abuja would still be work in progress.

And please can we not have any Ibo vs Yourba vs Hausa chestbeating on this thread. I posted the video as a means of providing historical information, not to provide opportunities for childishness.

Enough is enough please. I can't control what you say, but I can ask you to please, for heaven's sake, stop all this nonsense. Let's have a break from all this.

If left to Igbo's, Abuja would've been like the Eastern States. But thank God the North build Abuja.

It's a beauty today. In the early 90s plots of land at Asokoro district were allocated for a fee of N500. People could just work in and get a lan allocated.

Yes he is lying.

Did Igbos carry money from Nnewi to Abuja?

Or is the bulk of Petrodollars spent developing Abuja from Igboland?

Let the butterfly not think itself a bird, when it is just a flying insect.
