You caused a war. You killed the minority to try force them to your dominion and you got slaughtered. You are now treading the same path. How's history repeating itself!

All these lame professors self...

Who caused the war? Which minorities are killed? Where?

Most of the coupist are from Delta state (your minorities), which you guys are fighting...as not being Igbos

Na wahooo.

Bighead9:
How will they survive and what does the East now? NOTHING. Igbo can leave Nigeria right now.

Stop crying...that's what they are going to find out in the court.

Anambra built an airport in record time...How long will it take the central government?

TimeTraveller:
Actually, silly mugu, it was Agui Ironsi who scuttled the regional arrangement that existed just to expand Igbo domination.

It was also Igbo soldiers that truncated our nascent and burgeoning democracy out of jealousy.

Go and ask ya palm wine tapping father to tell you the truth if he still has balls.

See "sophisticated" professor, why not take it back to Lugard who forced people who have different cultures together...

So Ironsi scuttled it and Awolowo like it..?

Oluwole professor, I thought Kaduna Nzeoguw was from SS?

Remember some of your other fake professors are even on this thread saying that Igbos should leave Igbos in SS alone as they are not Igbos...

So how do you reason...fake professor with Oluwole certificate

Why are you calling your fa=her? You said you support them to leave and I only supported your view...so what truth are you all about?

Bighead9:
Why the thing Dey pain you, abi una no wan go Biafra again? Igbo know that, Biafra will be worst than Nigeria. Poverty and crimes will take over Biafra.

Even in three years that Biafra existed during intense war...the signs showed that it worked better than Nigeria...

blamingthedevil:
Economy of South East is irrelevant... they contribute zero to Nigeria Economy, that is why Sit at home in East doesn't have any impact on Nigeria economy and other parts of Nigeria

The why is your Obas, MURIC and most of you unity begging...?

You have education, sophistication, seaport, airport, rail system and you are afraid to rule yourself...

The SE region control more than 60% of all cargo import in the country...

The region contribute more than 45% of the more than $16 billion diaspora remittance...per year

Saying the region is irrelevant, means you are an utterly weak thinker.

The region has only asked that they be treated as other regions especially the SW and the north in infrastructural development.

Have you imagined how the SW will feel, when the SE has the airports, seaports, rail systems, etc, etc...and they have none?

This why the SE think the can do it better if they own their own place.

Take a look at Anambra airport...it took less than 2years to complete it....compared to Enugu airport the central government have been building for the past 50 years.

TimeTraveller:
I support this 100%.
I personally want Biafra to be declared so that we can all rest. There's NOTHING the SE brings to the table other than victimhood.

The only condition is that SE indigenes would have to move back to their home states. You can turn Biafra to heaven on earth, nothing will take me there. I will quietly eat amala and enjoy the sights of my rustic brown roofs.

Good man..

If Awolowo had your thinking in 1967...there won't have been any need of this today

How can the nation develop when its being turn apart from the middle by many forces?

The north claim they have huge land, huge natural resources, high educated elites (have more professors than south Africa) and military, yet they are the ones that would not agree for communities to own their resources, like their own communities own the gold in Zamfara...and run their region like they have sharia government.

Renegotiating the affairs of the central government would resolve these issues.

The Niger Delta Congress (NDC) is forging ahead with its demand for self-determination and insistence that oil and other natural resources be controlled by the people.

The NDC has confirmed that the signing of the Niger Delta Peoples Charter will start on Monday November 1, 2021.

Ovunda Eni, the spokesman, made the announcement in a statement on Tuesday.

The coalition of regional bodies put the all the ethnic nationalities of the six states in the South-South on notice.

Eni recalled the conference held on October 8 at the Ijaw House Complex in Yenegoa, the Bayelsa capital.

He explained that the draft copy of the Niger Delta Peoples Charter was unanimously adopted as a working document.

The NDC has now concluded the harmonisation process of all recommendations forwarded to the secretariat.

“It is our firm belief that this Charter will lay the foundation for the processes that will birth a new future”, Eni noted.

The NDC said the aim was to unite the people “towards achieving shared hopes and aspirations of resource control and self-determination”.

The body charged the people not to be fazed by insecurity and other challenges in Nigeria.

The statement told them to anticipate the arrival of the Charter in their communities and actively take part in the mass signing.

Oga I wasn’t talking to you and even if I was, is requesting a complete pictures of Enugu CITY a crime??

You’re so daft that’s why you only started comparing Lagos and Abuja asif I’m from those places.

One thing about us is that we hate criticism, without knowing such criticisms will wake the govt up to do better.

I’m sure you hate criticism that’s why you’re crying like a sick baby. Jobless man

Just look at you...who cares... where you come from?

So you are requesting...? Why not get them yourself?

Will it be a crime if you add these photos you are requesting..Did you even thank the OP for the ones he showed?

Bad belle...is not a good thing...Repent.

flokii:
Nice people indeed.. all the 419 and scams your people are doing in Alaba market, the fake drugs Dora Akunyili fought against and fake spare parts and tyres caising accidents on a daily are all there..

I know Igbo in and out like my palm and I know how the average one amongst you reason which is to outsmart, outdo and dominate others. Na the Yorubas wey dey give una face dey end up in regrets.
You'll never see Igbo call Hausa or Fulani cowards the way they call Yorubas because Hausas readily treat your fvckups and they are still treating it till tomorrow. The rubbish the likes of Tinubu allowed you people do in Lagos, the Hausas and gwaris have refused such in Abuja. Who you be to say Abuja or Nasarawa is no man's land.

So because you do sk-ll mining, jibiti, Oluwole, Jankara human parts, Yahoo plus, fake agbo drinks that destroy thousands of kidney, etc..there are no good Yorubas?

Leave matter...only God knows why you didn't support them to leave in 1967...your peace would have been completed by now.

Who knows how Lagos would have been today, without them...

For some funny reason, you still do not want them to leave, so you can have Lagos to yourself...

Strange isn't it?

Iliveforever:
FUnny how you keep on showing government house and it’s environs. Please show us Emene, abakpa, obiagu, coal camp even new haven is now in a lost beauty and of course agbani road I’m waiting o

Bad belle people...

When they show you pictures of Lagos and Abuja...did they show you Makoko, Ajungunle, Iyanu Egjibo and Okokomiako?...and for Abuja, Gariki village, etc?

Na wahoo...continue to wait..no go find work.

Munamoqel:
so if boko boy is killing kanuri therefore igbo boys will have to kill each other to have a balance abi .u get head .

Nope...

What he is saying is that you didn't post any thing when it is happening in your northern part..

So why the great love for the Igbos, which you didn't have for your own people?...

JaroMan:
Please, Lagos doesn't belong to Yorubas. It's only in SW because of geography but it doesn't belong to Yoruba. Please let's be guided.

Do mind some of these people...

Just like the Gwaris claiming that Abuja belong to them.

PROUDIGBO:
Bros Redcrafton, reading your post up there reminded me of Cyprian Ekwensis’ JAGUA NANA! The book was about life in Lagos in the 60s wasn’t it?

Udo...my brother.

flokii:
They are just too much in Yorubaland.. I wonder what is chasing them away from their region in droves.

These guys enter bus to Lagos, Ogun, Oyo and co. to live yet hurl insults and abuses at Yorubas daily that I begin to wonder what their real agenda in SW is.

Which Yorubas...Lagos was majorly a different town then...owned parlty by the Binis....

When Igbos came to Lagos, you were still far away at Irabiji in Osun state, not aware there was town called Lagos then...

See...

The Igbo have lived in Lagos since the 15th century when the Aro and other Igbo first settled in good number in a place we now call “Oyingbo” in the era of Benin and the Portuguese trade.

Stop hurting...Igbos are very nice people and they help any society where they are found.

...and beside they left in 1967...giving away their properties, but you starved millions of them to death..so they MUST come back...

So?

spyder880:
My city

Enugu born and brought up.

Enugu resident forever

Main man Spyder880...

Good to see you after a long while...

Please try and revive Enugu thread now.

I know bad belle people have turned you up...but we love to see new developments there.

Biko, try and change your mind.

Gisike...

OP, you should be happy...the Igbos do not cause any trouble in Lagos. They are selfless and excellent developers. Abeokuta or Ibadan are not developed like Lagos, because of the massive investment by the Igbos. See...

Lagos State belongs as much to the ethnic Igbo as to the Yoruba, Ijaw, Hausa, Fulani, Efik, Idoma, Urhobo, Itshekiri, Edo, and so on who live in it, pay tax, identify with it, and settle in it. That compact was made the moment Nigeria became a single nation, and a successor power to the old principalities who were subdued and who ceded their sovereignty for the new commonwealth of Nigeria .
It was pragmatic. The Igbo had the skill and the industry, and Lagos was the seat of the Federal Government of Nigeria and its major port.

The Igbo have lived in Lagos since the 15th century when the Aro and other Igbo first settled in good number in a place we now call “Oyingbo” in the era of Benin and the Portuguese trade.
The arrival of Dr. Namdi Azikiwe to Lagos in 1937 from Accra after his studies in the United States, stimulated the political and cultural environment of Lagos as no other has before or after him. Zik literally resurrected the wizard of Kirsten hall from political death. Zik represented Lagos in the western house. The NCNC was the power in Lagos , and not the Action Group. The Igbo were prominent in the governance of Lagos in the Lagos City Hall .


The institutional development of Lagos – the railways, the ports and ship yards; the education and research facilities; the Banking and Commodities Exchange, the development of towns like Yaba, Surulere, Ebutta-Metta, Festac Town, Victoria Island, and now increasing the Ajah-Lekki axis, and of course, the ghettoes along the Orile-Badagry axis, have profound Igbo imprimatur. The circulation of the image of Lagos is to date best reflected in the cosmopolitan Igbo imagination of one of the greatest African writers of the 20th century, Cyprian Ekwensi, a thorough Lagosian if there was any. Igbo have built industries in Lagos and have been drivers of commerce and exchange.
Interestingly, I was born at plot number 8, Okoya Street , Idumagbo- Lagos, while the Ojukwu families were residing at number one to three on the same street. I grew up to know the father of Odumegwu Ojukwu. Chimbizie and Azuka grew up with us on the same street. Even the Chibeze small parking space at the end of Okoya Street is called Ojukwu. I later attended St. Patrick Primary School , Idumagbo, where I had very amiable classmates of Igbo origin in the persons of Azubike Ezenwa and Damian, Ihekuna, both now professors and doctors of today. They were brilliant, resourceful and friendly.


When we were playing bamboo and Tene Felele at Orikoriko at Onola playing ground, the Igbo participated actively. In the area of sports, school football and athletes, Igbo were dominant at Kings College, St. Gregory school, St. Finbars, Akoka, Igbobi College and Ahmadiyya College, Agege. Such boys, Njokwu, George Amu, Stephen Keshi, Henry Nwosu, Patrick Noquapor, Peter Anieke and Sammy Opone were dominant on the field of football, while Asiodu, Empire Kanu were prominent on the field of athletics.
Anytime we went to watch football match at Onikan stadium, my darling team, Stationery Stores and our adversary team I hated most was the E. C. N, where the centre forward, Paul Hamilton, the National Team, Fabian the captain who bit the dust. Our greatest captain was Duru, Oduah Onyenrekwa, Onyeador Onyeali and Opel, the greatest outside right Nigeria ever had, Cyril Azuluka. So, during my early life at primary school, the Igbo were always there and delightful to watch, both in athletes and on the football field.
When I listened to radio at that time, both the commentary and drama series, the Igbo were there for you. The likes of Chris Ndaguba, Ernest Okwonkwo, Ralph Okpara ‘Alawo Sekiseki the traveler’. The episode will end with – The script was written by Ralph Okpara and edited by Yemi Lijadu.


Anytime I visited where I was born today in Idumagbo at Lagos Island , the entire place is covered by Igbo traders in their thousands. They were never troublesome but decent and accommodating. They have virtually taken over all properties of the indigenes. They succeeded in developing all our properties, married to most of our children even from the royal families. There is no single house you will visit without an Igbo man selling wares there.
So, who is saying something else? Only the strangers in our midst will not notice participation of economic development in our state by the Igbos. Most houses and shops in Lagos Island have been purchased, developed and occupied by the Igbos. The value of their investments in Lagos Island alone is in trillions of naira.


Instead of deporting the Igbos, whose contributions to the development of Lagos state are immensurable, you must keep on praising and encouraging them to keep on developing Lagos State .

ThisisBuhari:
Now that some state APC have started backing Tinubu presidency, I will support Yakubu Dogara(former speaker House of Reps) or Boss Mustapha

You suffering and smiling political looters,...should not foist on us, another man who would be ruling using proxy again...as he will be in London hospital every time.

If SW had not had their turn, this is the kind of people the SW should be talking about...

I dey beg una...no bring more problem to what is there already.

CSTR2:
That is what you think.

Nigerians are more sophisticated than you think.

Pdp lost a lot of support because of atiku.

I know many people that would have voted for PDP in 2019 if atiku was not in the ballot or was the vice president to Peter obi.

Peter obi would beat all of them hands and down in a free and fair election.

Nigerians are not completely stupid.
There is still some sense there.

Nigeria needs and economics at this time...

For me the best would have been this guy...unfortunately, the SW have had their turn.

There are many people from the east who can also be the president...

naijapips04:
the people you claim are cheating you are not gods, they are tribes like you. Put your acts together and take back what belongs to you.

Take a listen...


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZ57j1GiTrM

Acts have been put together since 1999...and nothing to show.

naijapips04:
Yes I said it. How many of our people have we held accountable? Why do we always have the blame the other people, the center, Nigeria, lord Luggard. We are not the only tribe being short changed in Nigeria. There is no equity anywhere in the world. What productive thing have we done for our people? How much of our leaders are we holding accountable? Do you know how much each eastern state get monthly? How much of that goes into real projects?

The @embolden...

You are talking non-sense...

As much as I can see...you are a cheap local party man...

Do you know anything about federal projects...?

naijapips04:
if you don't like it, scrap democracy. It's called power play and your IPOB is not helping your matter.

4

Continue digging your own grave...

When democracy is done in a crude way...it results in what you are seeing today.

Stop being greedy.

Even some sensible northerners have accepted that Nigeria democracy is endangered...

Equity, fairness and justice are major part of democracy...but you greedy bla-k humans must cheat to favor your ethnic group.

This causes dissent...

Have you idea how much has been spent by the central government to stop what is going on in the SE?

That money could have been used to complete Enugu international airport on the Enugu-Portharcourt federal road.

You are deeply blind to this fact...as you greedy political lo-ter is looking up for the next meal from your party.

You just might be local party fellow...

naijapips04:
Nnamdi Kanu will not be released in November or anytime soon, Mkpuruamu ochicha. I'm not dropping Igbo words, I'm Igbo.

You are your Nnamdi Kanu are being sponsored by the enemies of the Igbo nation to distabilize our region but ogwu unu aruola. Amadioha tukpukwa unu anya.

Igbo man that lost out...

see...your statement.

"....You don't lose out and start crying like a baby. How much of your own people have you held accountable for your misfortune? to you it's always blame this and that person. it is time to grow the f*ck up..."

Can you show were you have held your governor responsible..as an Igbo man...

naijapips04:
Oga you are part of the leadership. You don't lose out and start crying like a baby. How much of your own people have you held accountable for your misfortune? to you it's always blame this and that person. it is time to grow the f*ck up.

Who lost out?

You are stung by your paras-tic greed.

Since 1999, we were in the central party, what happened?

When the central government has all the powers in a unitary style, in scam federal system, you hardly can hold a governor or a senator responsible..

Why won't the sleepy central government do the right thing?

The fu-k up is what you are seeing today...

It is gradually shifting to SW...very soon it will implode on your selfish and greedy head...

"Nigeria president should come from the south...Nevertheless, he must be a president that both southerners and northerners like and vote to make him or her president. He must be a Nigerian president, not an ethnic president, not a regional president, not a religious president" Mallam Ismail Hassan

What type of president do we have now?

Did the north not vote for him massively, despite this?

The north still have 2 years with the Nigeria leader who displays these attributes they don't want a southern president to have.

What and how do we human beings reason?

Why are people utterly selfish?

naijapips04:
I agree that there needs to be equity across board. The best way to demand that is not killing your brothers, sisters, security operatives and making the east an economic waste.

Don't be smart by half...

If you know that it's best to do the right thing...

Why wait later...?

Wise people do the right thing all the time...

The aftermath of poor leadership is what you are trying to defend.

naijapips04:
No they are not. We still have nothern sons and daughters been killed and held in prisons as boko haram members even as we speak. let the nigerian army stop killing boko haram and release all held members, that the equivalent of what you are asking abi?

Do the part that have been done to the north first, as shown.

The problem of Nigeria starts with the central government.

I can bet you that there won't have been any Kanu, MASSOB, ESN and IPOB if the Igbos get 1/3 of what you northerners and the SW get from the central government.

naijapips04:
We are saying the same thing because you according to you, since Arewa has been supporting their own terrorists, now is the time for Igbos to support their own terrorist. So what i'm saying is this, since Igbos has ordered for all their terrorist sons held in prisons to be released, Arewa should order the same thing with their terrorist sons held in prison as boko haram members.

Stop going in circles...

The north has theirs released already, as shown...

So why are you not thinking properly.

Yes, the Igbos should have theirs released too..

Do you known the meaning of justice and equity?

Do you know the tenet which says, treat your neighbor as you like to be treated?

naijapips04:
you are just supporting my statement. So let everyone support their own terrorists. Please let Arewa insist that all Boko haram members currently being held in prison released.

We are not saying the same thing...

You Arewas have been supporting your group even before this government came to power...and you know it..

"Attack on Boko h is attack on the north..." You know the pay...

So why are you hypocritically saying what is obvious?

naijapips04:
Wait, but if miyetti Allah says this same thing it becomes an abomination?

Imagine Arewa saying they won't relent till shekau and all boko haram members arrested are released.

You are just arriving from the MOON....

Who and what are these...pics.

Is it north Arewa talking with ter-rists...and the next picture...ter-rists who killed soldiers released.

The problem with you northerners is either you are parochially selfish or you have very low reasoning attribute...

thebosstrevor1:
If you like call me an igbo hater, i don't have one hate against the igbos.

I will just like to correct some things about igbo commercial strength, first and foremost the igbos so called commercial strength start and ends in lagos, if the igbos think they are good in trading then they haven't met a hausa man.

Northern history is all about trading, when other tribes were busy running naked, the hausas were busy trading and importing and exporting goods thru and from countries as far as saudi Arabia through the deserts.

The sad reality is most southerners who praise the igbos for their commercial strength haven't traveled out their bubble in lagos. If they have, they would have know that for what every commercial activities the igbos does, the hausa man does that in thousands of fold.

Is it transport business, electronic, spare parts, etc, just think about any business, the hausa man does them too.

I think most of you should go and read about northern history in trading, everything about the north is trade, that is why you will hardly see a hausa man being idle, he must do one trade or the other to survive.

This answers your question...
