Yes Festac is a federal government plan, occupied by every tribe.

But Igbos didn't influx Festac due to the nonsense you listed above, get your fact right.

Southeast used to be the most peaceful region, until Buhari started heading Nigeria, and insecurity exploded all over Nigeria.

The reason why Igbos chose Festac was because, their business is centred around that area, Sea port, Alaba, Tradefair, and other environs.

I think we need to apreciate the diversity within Yoruba people. It may seem like Oyo is the largest, there are many people in Oyo state who aren't Oyo. In Oyo, there is Ibarapa in the South. The Onko (Oke Ogun) occupy half of the state's total landmass and 1/3 of the population. The Onko people are very distinct from the Oyo in their dialect with the use of the ch sound, which is rare among Yoruba dialects as well as additional nasal sounds. Large ancient settlements like Saki, Iseyin, and Kisi in Oyo are all Onko. Both the Ibarapa and Onko were once grouped under Ekun Otun province during the Oyo Empire. Ogbomosho, Oyo, Ibadan, and Ilorin are all considered Oyo, although with some very minor notable differences. Even in the Old Oyo days, they recognized these small differences.The dialect spoken in Oyo town was considered and I quote "purest." Towns like Ibadan, Fiditi and Iwo in Osun state were grouped under Epo division to distinguish them from Oyo, Ilorin, and Ogbomosho which were grouped in Ekun Osi province AKA Metropolitan Oyo. These minor differences are important because they stop us from generalizing or overlooking certain groups. Even though Ekiti and Okun are biding entities, these two groups are far from homogeneous. When you travel across Ekiti, you will notice these differences. For example, while related, the dialect spoken in Omuo is very different from the one in Ado. The Okun for example are further divided into Yagba, Owe, Oworo, Bunu, Ijumu, and Igbede. However, I feel like sometimes large groupings are helpful because they are more biding and unifying. You are a little correct about Lokoja being a "non-indigineous"(cosmopolitan) town, however we can't forget that the earliest settlers of Lokoja were the Oworo-Okun. Quarters like Felele and Otokiti are Oworo.


There seem to be a little confusion about the people living in Osogbo which I can help clarify. People tend to group Ibolo as Oyo. I understand why. Ibolos were once part of the Oyo empire. During that period, they were grouped under the Ibolo Province. Towns like Osogbo, Offa, Ede, Oyan, Ikirun, Ilobu, Okuku, Ejigbo are all Ibolo. Till today, Offa is regarded as more of a cultural capital than Osogbo. People have to understand that one of the main reasons why Osogbo gets more attention is due to its administrative role which has led to many other Yoruba groups to migrate there. The historical center of Osogbo is still primarily Ibolo though.

People need to be guided. FHA ( Federal Housing Authority) is in charge of FESTAC Town and FESTAC Extension, if due diligence was carried out by the buyer of landed property they would have being informed of impending danger. As a Surveyor, I worked for some of our Igbo brothers and advice them appropriately. Some listened and some believed with money nothing can happen. Please and please, this has nothing to do with Lagos State Government rather, a non challant attitude and "Nigeria factor".

Before history gets distorted, let me state the genesis of the hate-filled politics Agbadorians created in Nigeria.

In the lead-up to the 2011 elections, Punch Newspaper was already exhibiting signs of tribalism against Jonathan's administration. Then, during the subsidy removal in 2012, stalwarts of today's APC, then known as ACN/AC whatever, launched a series of calumny against Jonathan's government, accusing him of all sorts. APC supporters carried coffins with Jonathan's name inscribed on them. They had his pictures and tied them to goats! They burnt his pictures like Islamists burn Israelis and America's flags. Then came the Chibok girls scam, one of the biggest played globally. The deputy governor of Borno is Nigeria's VP today.

Jonathan was vilified, mocked, cursed, maligned and thrown all sorts of names. As someone whose parent is from the same region as Jonathan, I was shocked reading the tribal-laced insults Jonathan received. This is aside from Buhari weeping crocodile tears when he lost in 2011; his irate supporters went on a rampage, burning churches and slaughtering people, including innocent corp members. Buhari had to be begged THREE days after the results were announced to call his belligerent supporters to order before calm was restored. This got the intervention of foreign bodies because Buhari did not listen to any Nigerian elite. His supporters burnt everywhere burnable, something Obedients have not done, nor has Peter Obi instructed them to do.

Some of the words against Jonathan received were:

- "A druken fisherman" - Wole Soyinka
- "A shhepotatmus" - Wole Soyinka describing Patience Jonathan.

The same Wole Soyinka mockingly described the fedora hat Jonathan wore as an Ijaw man. More here: https://www.nairaland.com/1357171/soyinka-embarrassment-admirers-patience-jonathan; https://www.nairaland.com/605766/rascals-govt-jonathan-drunk-fisherman

Igbos were the only large group of Nigerians who defended Jonathan, whose administration had high economic growth. Igbos, too were mocked and derided for supporting Jonathan. Then came the 2015 election, which had Buhari elected. Agbadorians used his tenure to mock, gloat and curse Igbos. They were elated when Buhari used the military to terrorise the southeast, including murdering hundreds of innocent young men and even having them drink muddy water. See here: https://www.nairaland.com/4052484/soldiers-order-ipob-members-swim

In 2023, senior government officials used the term "Chinedu" to describe GRV, a man whose father has a long history in Lagos simply because his mom and wife are Igbos. That was even small. Another government official, Bayo Onanuga, was delighted to tweet that Igbos have been taught a lesson in Lagos. Before the lessons were taught, Mc Oluomo, a government-backed thug, came out in public, threatening to beat and kill any Igbo person who voted for Labour Party.

During this period, another government official by name Mr. Jubril Gawat organised a rally, "My Lagos, not your Lagos" a few days before the state election. During this same period, we have had Agbadorians call for a re-cap of the civil war atrocities where over three million Igbos were killed. A pharmacy store retailer in Osun did so by tweeting it to the whole world. After the victory of Adeleke in Osun state, shops owned by Igbos were razed down by irate youths associated with the APC.

During the Lagos election, Yorubas, who seemingly looked like Igbos, were flogged by fellow Yorubas. Igbos and other ethnic minorities who looked like Igbos were flogged, killed and had charms thrown at them. I recalled an Ibibio man by name Aniedi was beaten to death. Who knows Aniedi could have hated Igbos, but he got beaten to death because he looked like an Igbo man. The youth leader Dayo Israel championed a "Ronu" cause and re-chanted civil war slogans during his campaigns.

To crown it all, Agbadorians went on a rampage, stating that a union between an Igbo person, most likely a woman, and a Yoruba person, most likely a male, would produce children with "tainted blood". They even did descriptions (picture attached) and created threads with it. One of the champions of that thread is over 40 years old and resides in a nondescript area in Peckham, London.

So before anyone says Obedients were toxic, you have to look at the genesis of it all. APC introduced the politics of crude bitterness and hate into Nigeria. They should learn to take their own medicine and eat their vomit!

ALJAZEERA

Yujin:
Lol. I repeat, there's no any useless Ijaw initiation and naturalization ceremony anywhere. This lie will never stick anywhere. Whatever happened over there was as a result of a cultural melting point. Before Jaja was even born or came to Bonny, many other Igbos have been kings and occupied big positions in Bonny. There are names to back it up. The founders of Bonny had mostly Igbo names and are of the Ngwa/ Ndoki stock.

The other powerful house that fought Jaja and sent him packing out of Bonny was led by another Igbo known as Oko Jumbo who was also an ex-slave. Bonny was Igbo speaking right from inception just like Opobo. They happened to adopt the Ijoid communal organization of using war canoe houses because it suited the terrain very well. You'll be surprised if you ask the traditional names of most of the founders/ owners of those war canoe houses. They adopted English names but when you go into their archives, most have Igbo names. They want you to take it that all Igbos in Bonny were there as a result of slave trade but the reality on ground proves it to be false. The Igbo dialect of Bonny isn't that of the other Igbo groups who suffered more in the slave trade but is of the Ndoki stock who traditionally occupy important positions in Bonny.

For Opobo, the Andoni people even claim that they gave that portion of land to Jaja after he consulted them. As you can see, Opobo is very close to Andoni and is by the mouth of the Imo river. Ibibios aren't really bordered by the coast which most of you don't know. The stretch from Andoni to Ibeno are the same people who speak the same language that is Ekoid. A language similarity test was done for Andoni language between Ekoi and Ibibio. It was discovered that Andoni is more closer to Ekoi than their nearest Ibibio neighbours. This also supported their claims of migrating from Cameroon through Ekoi groups before settling where they are now.

When Jaja went to Bonny, 14 of the 18 war canoe houses went with him. Bear in mind that Bonny was Igbo dominated at the time so most of those who went with him were still Igbos. Any Ibibio influence in Opobo is very minimal. They were very good in palm oil production which Jaja liked but when it came to the Opobo community, there's hardly anything related to Ibibio to be seen not even their popular ekpe masquerades made it to Opobo. Ikot Abasi NE of Opobo was annexed by Jaja and was called Igwenga. They were not traditionally the same land. Ikot Abasi had people living there and doing their things but not the same in Opobo. It was a virgin land. The next community south of Opobo known as Queenstown was formed by one of Jaja's close ally and chief who disagreed with him on certain things. It was also a virgin land. There were lots of virgin lands in that area. Infact, most of the marsh lands of Rivers state were virgin lands and had communities formed only in 1800s. Only Bonny, Okrika and Andoni were known communities before 1800s. Original Okrika was a very small Island Ijaw fishermen used to settle on to gather their fishes before coming up towards Port Harcourt waterside to sell to Igbo and other upland farmers in exchange for crops.

All the Kalabari communities were new settlements found by Igbo, Ijaw migrants from Bayelsa and Efik/Ibibio plus other central delta groups of people. This is why Kalabari got her name from New Calabar after some Efiks left Old Calabar to come to those empty lands are resume the trade they've been doing in Calabar. Over time, New Calabar turned into Kalabari.

Finally, I don't have a link to those documents now. It was in an old device. It is easy to get though. Just google about the history of Andoni people. The author is a popular Andoni man. I forgot his name.

I don't blame the igbos or yorubas who engage on tribal war here on nairaland. I blame the owner and moderators of nairaland who allow the nuisances to go unabated. For continuously pushing these things to the front page, they are worst

I was pleasantly surprised to
purchase these freshly harvested
sweet potatoes while driving by
a local market somewhere in Kaduna
State today.

No doubt, these tubers can feed up to
10 people for a single meal.

If we buy ½ (half) crate of eggs 1k and
other things like tomatoes etc N500,
we can end up feeding 10 adults with
with only N2k, about $2.50 (or 25 cents/ person)❗️❗️❗️

The United Nations or US no go
understand how you can feed 10 adults
with less than $3❗️❗️☺️☺️☺️

“Before I conclude, let me add that the ministry’s decision to consider the re-establishment of a National Shipping Line, through a strategic PPP arrangement, is borne out of our desire to capture a substantial share of the estimated $10 billion annual ship charter market within the country.

My thoughts exactly. We should not let civil servants and corrupt public officials fully run it till they run it aground again. Once it is done by PPP, the business entity mamaging the shipping line should be listed on the Nigerian stock exchange and managed efficiently like NAHCO,SAHCO etc.
