Aigbofa:
Nonsense, Ibos migrate a lot to seek opportunities anywhere they can find it. Just the truth and some do menial jobs there's nothing to be ashamed of as long as you are not stealing.

You drift from side to side and it means that you don't knw what you are saying, you are just confused.

You don't know shit about migration patterns and reasons for migration, you take the basic reason and think it fits the description for everyone but you are WRONG!!!

Aigbofa:
You are, let me explain it to you further. Most of the people leaving their home states to seek employment elsewhere are ibos. Then comes the next question; why? To seek better opportunities.
If there are abundance of opportunities in iboland, there will still be some migration obviously but it will not be in droves and they won't occupy the first position as the number one migrating tribe in Nigeria. Simple logic.

I've explained this to you yet you keep arguing about it. During the war, an American diplomat once called the igbos the wondering Jews of West Africa because of their documented migratory behavior, also do you know why southern Cameroon choose to be in the present day Cameroon? It is because during the colonization/British occupation, igbos migrated there and they dominated every aspect of the sector in that region and this lead to hatred and distrust, they even said that the igbos would end up taking over everything and even their land if they end up being nigerians and these suspicions came about because of the domineering character of the individual igboman. So they voted to be with cameroon while northern cameroons ( present day north) voted to be with nigeria. So now tell me if these were documented migratory patterns/attitudes of the igboman even before Lagos became what she is today, why do you think it is different now?

Below is my previous response to you, go thru it, you will find the answers you are looking for since you think there are lesser opportunities in the East.

"One thing you must know about the igbos is that we are migrants, we travel to look for opportunities else where, one geographical space is never enough for the igbos, we all are the same in terms of business acumen and hardwork so we tend to seek opportunities outside where you can find less igbos, meaning there is less competition. Don't tell me igbos troop to Lagos alone FYI, there are over 6-8million igbos in diaspora and we contribute largely to the international remittance Nigeria receive.

Don't think there are better opportunities in other places than Igboland, If i may ask, where is the biggest market in Africa ? Is it not in ABA, I've not even added Onitsha, nnewi and the rest. Igbos love competition, but they don't like competing amongst themselves so they travel to other areas where there are lesser Igbo competitors. That is what you call business intelligence."

MIPNIG:
This topic when no make front page dey attract this much talk talk ... Why are the matters relating to Igbos this hot?

lol, anything Igbo sells bro

Aigbofa:
Exactly, when you look at migration generally you look at where people are going and why. What individuals do when they reach their destination can change.
What direction are Nigerians going? Lagos
Where are they coming from mostly? Iboland.

You can expand that further to where are Nigerians going or where are the migrants coming to Nigeria coming from?
All the other gymnastics you are trying to do does not cut it.

What are you saying You are really confused

Aigbofa:
People move to where they can find opportunities that is a fact. You need to compare the numbers of Europeans who are relocating to West Africa and the numbers of West Africans who are relocating to Europe.
You can twist it all you want, facts are facts.

Lol, I just made a point and this is what you came up with to defend your illogical explanation.

Smh , indeed it is a shame

imhotep:
Like this abi ==>

Just take a look at them, jobless cunts who are so disturbed by the igbos because they told them the truth, why didn't they say all these when they were using the oil gotten from the Eastern region to develop Lagos.

Yorubas are two faced hypocrites, FYI the biggest oil producing LGA in Nigeria is an Igbo community in Rivers. Oyigbo/ndoki is Igboland and there is nothing anyone can do about it no matter how you twist facts

imhotep:
^^^ Aigbofa's reasoning faculty is TOO WEAK to engage this obvious fact

Very weak my brother, And I thought he was a resonable guy, I respect ola, because he was at least reasonable and he sometimes agreed when he thought that it was the truth not minding if it means he licked his vomit but this guy is just something else, trying to defend his slurs against the igbos, going by his reasoning, he thinks Igboland is barren since igbos are trooping to Lagos on a daily basis, therefore there are no opportunities in the East. All I can tell him is "keep wallowing in ignorance" .

Aigbofa:
If you don't know there are more job opportunities in the U.K and the U.S than Lagos and the S.W of Nigeria then you have a lot to learn, and you should do it in school not on Nairaland.

Hahaha, so going by your definition. The Chinese/lebanese/europeans who troop into Nigeria/west africa means that there are lots of job opportunities here than their home country.

You are full of ignorance and it is surprising that you reason this way. What a shame. Smh

chowlade:
calm down broda..I have many delta ibo friends and they told me all sort of things how they are not igbo...go by urself to delta ibo south south region and hear things for yourself. have u seen delta ibo person claiming ibo ever before?

I repeat igbira people are not yorubas ....cuz yorubas are not tribe kidnappers

But my childhood best friend is an ebira/igbira and his surname is aina, what does that sound like, Igbo?

Mind you I have friends from delta and never for once have they denied their Igbo heritage, even deltans here on nairaland like ugomba have never denied his Igbo root, so I wonder how/where you came up with your analysis.

Quit the hate, it will do you no good sisi!

Aigbofa:
Do a little study on the pattern of migration worldwide, what you will find is that the traffic is always to where the opportunities are. Ibos migrating everywhere can only indicate one thing, there are fewer opportunities where they are coming from.

Incidentally, citizens of the most advanced countries often travel for leisure and then return to their home countries unlike citizens of the least developed countries who often travel either to seek employment or stay for good.
It is what it is, you can't twist it no matter how much you try.

Hmm, going by your definition, what about the million/thousands of yorubas who are in the UK and US? Does it mean there are lesser opportunities in Lagos/SW

Mr man stop shooting yourself in the foot, you can argue all you want, I've just told you the truth, if you don't agree with me it is fine. Make your point and quit the emphasis, No be by force.

chowlade:
Correction is called Delta ibo not Delta Igbo
igbo of south east is complete different frm d other tribes In d South south region in terms of language, culture geopolitical zone..the real igbo knw themselves.

ikwere are not igbo
igbanke are not igbo
Anoma are not igbo
Itsekiris are not igbo
Agbor are not igbo
urobo are not igbo
ijaws are not igbo
Edos are not igbo
esan are not igbo
others are not igbo

Beware of these land grabberd and ethnical/tribe kidnappers frm the red mud region

Just negodu this haggard woman. You claim it is Ibo and not Igbo I laugh at your crass stupidity, what if I say igbira/ebira are yoloba and not Yoruba, how does it sound?

Keep deceiving yourself, Na hatred for anything Igbo go kill you.

Aigbofa:
So, thousands of Nigerian doctors, engineers, nurses and lawyers who are working in Europe and America are there as expatriates because the natives can't do these jobs? Your thoughts are more wacky than I thought.

Wrong, it is because they pay better and their services are needed. There was a time USA needed medicals doctors, ranging from. Surgeons, nurses, dentist and the rest. Much of those who filled the gap were Indians and Africans most especially Nigerians. This is a formal sector, so in this case it is plainly called opportunity and yes they are referred to as expatriates but when it comes to the informal sector there are different conditions that warrant such decisions, it is not only opportunity, opportunities abounds everywhere.

Aigbofa:
People migrate to where they can find better opportunities, that is why the most advanced countries also attract the most migrants. If ibos are coming to other parts of Nigeria it is simply because they can find better opportunities there.

You are wrong! What about the igbos in Ivory coast, Ghana, South Africa? Does it mean that Nigeria is not progressive, or maybe USA and UK are not progressive since we know them as one of the greatest countries if not the greatest. One thing you must know about the igbos is that we are migrants, we travel to look for opportunities else where, one geographical space is never enough for the igbos, we all are the same in terms of business acumen and hardwork so we tend to seek opportunities outside where you can find less igbos, meaning there is less competition. Don't tell me igbos troop to Lagos alone FYI, there are over 6-8million igbos in diaspora and we contribute largely to the international remittance Nigeria receive.

Don't think there are better opportunities in other places than Igboland, If i may ask, where is the biggest market in Africa ? Is it not in ABA, I've not even added Onitsha, nnewi and the rest. Igbos love competition, but they don't like competing amongst themselves so they travel to other areas where there are lesser Igbo competitors. That is what you call business intelligence.

Aigbofa:
You are a bloody liar, even if your story is true what about other Yorubas who are getting first class degrees in Nigeria and overseas? Are they coming back to Nigeria to become"agbero"
Everything boils down to envy in your opinion, are the Chinese, the Thais, the South Africans, the Malaysians also jealous of your tribe?

Bros I didn't lie, if I may ask, what tribe is known for agbero and Omo'Nile in lagos, is it the igbos, Calabar's, Edo's or the yorubas.

Now listen, you guys do a lot of harm than good by going into the business of thuggery, it doesn't work out well for the youths who end up doing these things ( Omo'Nile and agbero) after secondary school education. That particular guy I narrated about, attended a private secondary school, but upon all the expensive school fees paid to educate him, where is he today? What about those who attend public schools? Keep running away from the truth, until it gets to the core of Yoruba land and overheat it, then maybe you guys will retrace your footstep. It is never too late.

My prayer is that we igbos must be on our own , make policies for our selves and improve the standard of living. I bet you, if igbos are granted freedom, we shall become a powerful force in just 10 years because every igboman loves progress. The hate and envy from you guys and Nigeria at large is becoming too much, and that is the reason we are where we are, we are pushing below our weight , we want to utilize our full potentials. Only freedom can give us all these, Nigeria can't.

The igbos are really hated, they don't want to see us progress, but the more they fight, the more we progress.

As for you tonye barcanista, continue your hatred. We know you are an unrepentant bigot who speaks from two sides of his mouth.
Igbanke are igbos, while travelling I met a man in the bus and while we were discussing Nigeria's issues, I asked him where he's from because he spoke plain Igbo, very clear and understandable, He told me he is from Edo, and I asked igbanke? He said yes. We discussed about the identity issue and he said he sees himself as an igboman, he does not have any other language apart from igbo, the boundaries used to cut Igboland to size doesn't make him different from other igbos.

Now my question to you tonye / tombraokoto, if an igbanke man claim to be an Igbo man by blood, language and culture, who are you to refute his claim out of hatred and jealousy?

Shymm3x:
Lool.

I think it's cos Ebo rhymes with Ebola.

[img]http://media3./media/VjqNtkg7kSZGM/giphy.gif[/img]

You see the hatred im talking about, if you had nothing to say, why don't you just read and go, instead you decided to mock the igbos out of jealousy.

while driving out today, I met my former classmate who is Yoruba, we attended the same secondary school but what did I see him as, an agbero, I didn't pity him, I was angry because he had a choice but he choose to make money the easy way, through thuggery and intimidation, there are thousands of yorubas like him if not millions. I did not say this to mock the yorubas but if you are not bias, u will agree with me that this trend is doing more harm than good to the yorubas, pls and pls , go into trade and commerce like the igbos, abandon this agbero/omonile nonsense, it is holding you guys back. My concern is the igbos are moving at a very fast speed and it is bringing envy.

We igbos are far different from you guys and now I see why we are hated.

So your anger is because I choose to use the world rather than localize my claims to the south east

Jealousy, envy and hatred is what you are suffering from, I've read your post as an observer and you have cursed the igbos with no self restraint. You think you or your entire tribe matter, so because you/your ethnic group are not up to the Igbo standard, you want us to hide our God given abilities and not flaunt them because you will get angry and call us chest beaters or maybe one who is suffering from inferiority complex. Rid your self of hate Mr man, hating the igbos will do you no good. I have read the whole thread and there is not one positive remark by any one from your ethnic group, all we see is curses and mockery, was I the one who made those comments or research? But when it comes to the bad stories, you all will say it is the igbos who carry drugs and spoil the name of the nation, you call us baby factory, fake drugs importers, bla bla bla but now that we are seen in positive light by the outside world all you can say is we are suffering from chronic inferiority complex, why are you people like this? . when you call us different names, did you caution your tribesmen? No instead you followed the trend.

You are a two faced hypocrite, infact you are a shameless bigot. I don't care about your ethnic group,

Try to Google about the yorubas and see what Google says, it says nothing positive. Is it the igbo's fault, do you think the igbos are the only one that knows about the yorubas, the world's knows about the two biggest ethnic groups in southern Nigeria and they have taken notice of their traits and character. Okay if you doubt what I've just written try to Google this:

Yorubas are

The words that pop out aren't usually nice but does it mean that they are correct? Did I post about it or say anything about it just to mock the yorubas and make them feel bad? Mr man I don't care about you or your ethnic group, we are not related by blood, ideology or culture, meaning that we are not one and it shows in every conversation/topic that has to do with the igbos.

For your info, I can choose to use any word I like, as long as it is not far from the truth. I love my ethnicity and I'm very proud to be one, you just don't have an idea of the hate we have suffered out of envy and jealousy, it has been documented during the slave trade era that the Igbo man was hated because of his domineering character, it is a gift , it is worth celebrating. If you see this as chest beating or what ever nonsense you keep calling us, I don't bloody care. Kindly open up a thread and celebrate your ethnic group.

I did not force anyone to believe me or agree with what I've just said, you are the one trying to castigate me for celebrating my ethnic group. You say we suffer from chronic inferiority complex , whatever that means, keep it to yourself, you can rant all day but one thing I promise you is, when the igbos are finally free, you will end up agreeing with all I've just said.

We have been called blessed, superior, intelligent right from the slave trade. And No! It is not going to change, instead we are going to get better and get noticed by the whole world which is already happening. If you can't deal with it, kindly avoid my thread and stop being disrespectful!!!

Wat is wrong with all of you, anything celebrated by the igbos, you call it chest beating. Is it our fault that we are domineering, is it our fault that they used us to debunk the lies told by the whites with regards to the black man's IQ? I don't bloody care what y'all think.

Igbos are great and there is nothing no one can do about it, even if your right-hand man is Lucifer and you sought his help to cut us to size out of hatred and envy, both you and Lucifer won't live to see another day!.

Ioannes:
oh dear Lord. another one.

no I'm not a bigot. as a matter of fact I don't give a bloody hell where anyone comes from. I relate with you one on one.

but I can't help but notice that a particular group seem to have trouble accepting themselves for who they are and try to seek relevance by comparing themselves with everybody around them.

that you can't see the problem with the original post means you also suffer from the chronic inferiority complex affecting your people.

here, let me break it down for you.

that headline could have been written as "igbos are a brilliant group of people" or " Igbos have a huge percentage of beautiful women" or "igbos are generally smart people" or "the beauty of the igbo culture" or any number of delusional topics you decide to come up with (whatever strokes your ego).

but when you start saying sh*t like "we are the best in Nigeria or the world" " we are the greatest" "we are the smartest" "we are the richest" blah blah blah... then we know you are trying to compensate for something you don't have.

please mention any other ethnic group that engages in such rubbish.

even the Jews (the real ones o) who have many scientific inventions and Nobel Prize awardees to their name don't come online spewing crass nansense.

now I hope you can see that I don't hate you guys, you guys don't exactly do yourselves any favours.

I know that we won't have long to wait for another post detailing why the igbo group is the best in the entire world. I'm ready to bet my paycheck on that.

OmoIgala:
Most discussed by what standards?
Globally Yorubas are more popular that Igbos going my every single criteria in web analysis..., even tiny Maasais are much more well known, so what is mr OP talking about?

Open a thread and counter this one with facts, if you think I'm wrong.

Igbos are well known for their intellectual capabilities, it is a well known fact.

IamAtribalist:
See land grabber - where is Tonye Barcanista - Rivers is now an Igbo-state.

Are you high, rivers has always been an igbo enclave and no human can change that fact. What is wrong with you guys on nairaland? Do you actually think igbos are landlocked and they are restricted to just the five SE states? Ignorance is a disease.

Olabestonic001:
You made some intelligent comments there albeit tinted by your delusions. You mentioned how Enugwu was a former capital and how it stuck to master plans and you also compared to our Ibadan, city of red roofs. The truth is, though, all these places including Lagos were formerly capitals and sits of government, some excelled than the others. It therefore can be inferred that it was not because they were former capitals that made them progress but because they had good governance, period! Lagos is working because of good governance and not oil money, the same way Anambra is making a giant stride because of good governance.
No matter the money, a state will only work with good governance.

Ola, im not refuting your previous post mentioning those who built cities in lagos, etc. All i'm saying is Lagos was the former capital of nigeria, and she was treated differently,and also during the oil boom she benefited because of her capital status. Your comrades say lagos was developed with cocoa and the ingenuity of the yorubas, Now what do you call that, the truth or a blatant Lie!?

Thank you for towing the mature line and not abusing me unlike some bigots on nairaland, at least we have learnt a thing or two from our conversation.

Olabestonic001:
Running away when points proves to be superior to yours is the height of cowardice. Can you debunk any of such points I made?
Why try bold-face while running away sir?

i just modified my earlier post mister. Read it

"You claim lagos is the heartbeat of yorubaland, if tomorrow, the northerners say abuja is the heartbeat of the north, because it is situated in the north does it make them correct? Every capital in the world are treated specially, Funds are poured into her development and Lagos was no different. You are filled with hypocrisy, Igbos are not dragging lagos with the yorubas, I as an igbo man is proud of what enugu is today, Amongst the regional capitals in nigeria, she is the only one that kept to the masterplan, Thus making her in the same class with Abuja in terms of planning, But what can be said of ibadan? the regional capital of yorubaland, ibadan is so unplanned and unkempt. since you claim yorubas developed Lagos, why wasn't the same development replicated in the regional capital? Lol The truth is staring at you but all you do is to drift from side to side, i'm done educating you. Good Night Ola."

Olabestonic001:
You must really believe your self delusions so much sir. Do you see what Willie Obiano is doing in Anambra? I know folks like you will one day say that Anambra was built with Federal Allocation if Nigeria resorts to to true federalism. Honestly, people like you are heavily confused and believed their lies so much that it sound true to themselves only. Do you know Mobolaji Johnson? The man that built most cities in Lagos? What of Samsondeen Lawal? or Lateef Jakande? What of Gbolahan Mudashiru? What of Raji Rasaq? Do you know Ndubisi Kanu? All these men built Lagos and not such phantom oil money. These were men who built one thing or the other in Lagos state. Your claims that Lagos is built of oil is delusional, naive, malicious and bitter-full. Lagos is a strategic, progressive and blessed land. Like it or not, Lagos is the heartbeat of Yoruba land and no blackmailing or it's brothers would change it.

You claim lagos is the heartbeat of yorubaland, if tomorrow, the northerners say abuja is the heartbeat of the north, because it is situated in the north does it make them correct? Every capital in the world are treated specially, Funds are poured into her development and Lagos was no different.

Ioannes:
inferiority complex.

After reading this post, out of hatred and envy all you can say is inferiority complex, if I may ask what is inferiority complex and why do you think igbos suffer from it because I don't see one celebrating his or her ethnic group as one suffering from inferiority complex.

You are just a bigot, I don't care what ever you call the igbos or label them as, the truth is bitter, I just gave you a dose of it, now swallow the bitter pill boy!

Olabestonic001:
In life, a yes or no is for feebleminded folks who do not ask for rationale.
Calamari was a capital of Nigeria at a point in time but it was later abandoned for Lagos. Given you a yes or no answer is not right by me. I work at around the citadel of once FCT and unless you've not being there you can't understand that those places have phased out big time.
My friend, you know next to nothing about Lagos state and you are just alluding to facts that does not exist.
FESTAC town is now a sprawling slum, Dolphins estate is now a shadow of its past and many of such places. Do you know what is called Urban Renewal in URP? no matter how good and beautiful a city is, it can get phased out. The New Lagos all you folks are now bragging about was built by tax-payers money and government allocation.
FYI: NPA and Tin Can Island are privatized. And Ambode just ordered the reconstruction of Badagry express way.

Bro I understand what urban renewal is but lemme ask you this simple question, all these construction that you have labbeled slum or irrelevant now, if they weren't constructed, would Lagos be what she is today? It was documented that cater bridge was always having traffic jams thus a new bridge had to be constructed, it took 10 years to complete the third mainland Bridge, so will you say because it is old now, it is irrelevant thus never contributed to Lagos growth? NPA and tincan you claim were privatized, before they were privatized, millions of igbos and other Nigerians trooped to Lagos because the only functioning seaports/infrastructure were in lagos, if I may ask, assuming they weren't built, do you think the population in Lagos will be this much? So because they have been privatized, it is no longer an example of how oil proceeds contributed to Lagos growth.

Bros stop being a wicked hypocrite. Opportunities don't just appear, they are created, oil money created the opportunity for Lagos to be what she is today, she achieved the population because of the infrastructure built in the 60s/70s-80s after which the human resources took over, what tribe make up the population, are they only the yorubas? No!, it is well known that the informal sector contributes hugely to the IGR of Lagos and Nigeria at large and who are the leaders in the informal sector, the igbos

Brother stop lying to yourself, you know the truth but choose to run away from it.

rhymaster:
Discussed mostly related to negative things! What is the benefit of discussing Ibos when they are usually in the news for violence, secession, drug peddling, ritual murder, catastrophic loss of 3 M Ibos in an ill advised war, etc? Well, anything to feed their empty egos no problem.

You are a sick bigot.
for your info, you and your ethnic group can never achieve quarter of what the igbos have achieved! you are envious because the igbos are seen as superior, immediately you saw igbo portrayed in positive light, You developed HBP with hatred filled in your heart.
if you cannot visit the links and gain more knowledge, then you should go hug a wet transformer.

AmuDimpka:
When I was growing up a kid built a radio transmitter using local stuffs in mbaise and it ain't new..when we were kids we built local guns it ain't new and when we were growing up..dadddy was an electrical engineer and brother mechanical engineer ...with BSc he has mad at us not knowing maths and we also have this drive towards science ...this isn't bragging ...the buafran war was a good case study of how we igbovcan be technological guru.

These things are not new..if you grow up in the East you will see kids building stuffs from small rockets tobguns then small battery cars ..a while lot of sciences


To me I think East should focus on STEM courses in schools that's science technology engineering and maths ...igbos are good at that and literature and arts Igbo are also good at that

Leave law and accounting for Yoruba then Hausa can focus on cattle rearing

I agree with you, as a matter of fact, igbos are good at technology, Yorubas are good at administration, Hausa/fulani are good at agriculture.

But will Nigerians agree?, instead they choose to run away from the truth. Such a pity!

Olabestonic001:
Apart from the bridges, the others were in comatose before 1999.

Ola are not being truthful, going by your reply, it is warped with deceit. I asked a simple question and i wanted a yes or no answer not minding if any was comatose before 100bc or 1999.

The simple truth is, Yes, those constructions listed were developed with oil proceeds and not cocoa so i can boldly say that OIL DEVELOPED LAGOS TO WORLD CLASS/AFRICAN STANDARDS.

Olabestonic001:
You are a very funny dude and hilarious too.
The major hubs spearheading Lagos meteoric rise were build after 1999.
After the FCT was moved to Abuja, Lagos went into comatose and the emergence of Democracy saved it from being an ancient city.
Lekki, Ajah, Oniru, the various shopping malls were heavily developed after 1999. You lots believed in your words without even knowing what really is the epicentre of present Lagos.

Ola, i asked a question, you haven't answered it

if i may ask again, were these constructions listed below built with Cocoa money or oil money?

Third mainland bridge
carter bridge
Festac Town
Satellite Town
Tin Can Island
National theatre Iganmu
National Stadium Surulere
Federal offices
Julius Berger Built road

kindly answer the question.

Aigbofa:
If Yorubas are lagging presently why are ibos crying the most.
The truth is the truth my "superior" brother.

it seems you don't understand why igbos say we are marginalized, Nigerians know that we are traders and traders need infrastructures like seaports and road, in western nations, they will notice the potentials in the east and develop infrastructures for them but if i may ask, where are these infrastructures in the east? the igbos are hated and feared for their domineering spirit hence they are denied basic infrastructures.

Why is it only lagos that has functioning seaports?, Mind you i used the word "functioning".... can you explain that.

after the war, did the federal government reconstruct the east just the same way they are reconstructing the boko haram ravaged communities presently? No!, we did these things ourselves, most roads in the rural areas were built by igbo philanthropist and also the meager federal allocation, the airport in imo state were built by the igbos without any federal assistance.

So tell me why won't we scream marginalization! Oh so because we are now better off, so you think we ought not to complain about marginalization, If i may ask, what did the government do in the east? Nothing, Absolutely Nothing!!!

If yorubaland was ravaged just the same way igboland was bombed and leveled, i am very sure it will not be constructed like the way igbos reconstructed theirs, this is the naked truth!

Aigbofa:
You are twisting the narrative, Yorubas have never complained about about others living amongst them, be they ibo or European.
When you start boasting that you developed Lagos, you cannot blame others for refuting your tall stories.

Yes i know we have the penchant for boasting but it is the truth, it is out of pain and envy you guys do what you do, why dont you channel the Ánger/envy/energy to changing the attitude of your comrades, let them get involved in trade and commerce and see if the tide won't turn.

The attah of igala gave the igbos free land because he knows the igbos are developers, if i may ask who was the first civilian to invest in Abuja? it was an igboman!

Presently, 70% of the real estate in Abuja are owned by the igbos, this is no farce, it was the former minister El-rufai who labeled Abuja The 6th State Of The East. But when other Nigerians heard it especially the ones from the SW, they barked and wailed that it is a lie, but when Abuja was barren with no houses, No one invested there, it was the igbos who believed in her and went there whole-heartedly. We shouldn't hide from the truth because of ethnic preference and bigotry.

Igbos didn't develop Lagos single handedly but they contributed to her growth, if contributions are rated by percentage, out of a 100, igbos contributed 40 and they are still contributing.


this is the naked truth!!!

Aigbofa:
You are deluding yourself my dear ibo supremacist. Yorubas were living in the North before ibos knew there were humans living there, and that is the truth.

It was the war and lack of land that made migration more widespread than others, nothing else.

The "baba Oro" from Kwara was trading with Taiwan and Japan long before China became a new thing for ibos. Not trying to put you down but that is also the truth.

i'm not deluding my self young man, you claim yorubas have been to the north since 100bc, if i may ask why are the igbos concentrated in the north than the yorubas? why do they have huge amounts of investments scattered in the north? but yet these are the people you have labeled as late comers. i hate it when you talk about past glory, Do you think after the war, after the destruction, igbos would have been proud of their past achievements assuming they didn't develop and reconstruct igboland? , wouldn't we be laughed at, most especially by you yorubas. Keep swimming in delusion. Yorubas are lagging behind presently, the igbos are miles ahead of you guys, Take it or leave it. the whole world have taken notice.

Assuming Enugu was made capital tomorrow, and igbos start saying it is igboland, do you think nigerians will be happy to spend their taxpayer's /Oil money developing the so called "igboland"

when they keep saying Lagos was developed by cocoa, i just shake my head. Such wickedness, when they were busy developing the former capital with proceeds from crude oil, did any easterner say it is our oil, it belongs to us! this shows how united we are.

Do you think cocoa would have built the third mainland bridge and at the same time take care of other national/regional needs? Never, it is impossible.

it was that bridge that spurred the growth you see in Lagos today, Take it or leave it but yet some people will call it their own land

Chai , we are united in deceit. when oil finish, we go see the true colors of every ethnic group claiming to be a Nigerian.
