And it was developed and still built by the federal government using mostly oil money, just look at the area and ask yourself what was developed there before the FG started pumping money into the place, the same Ikeja has Army cantoment, Airforce base, Muritala Aiport, Ikeja(GRA) and so on all built by the federal government.

Has any state in Nigeria received quarter of the investment the FG has invested in Lagos?, Third mainland alone does not even have estimate because of how costly it was, yet they just kept on pouring into it just to complete it for Lagos, yet some of you will come out and start doing yeye comparison and giving glory Tinubu.

The Police College was built before oil was discovered in Nigeria.
The Ikeja Airport was built before oil was discovered in Nigeria.

Zik came to the Western Region, saw development and almost fainted

Believeintruth:
So airpeace now has fighter aircraft that you will compare with the military aircraft of another country. Guy you are really amazing.

Lots of passenger planes are more expensive than fighter aircrafts.
NCAA training school has more fighter aircraft than the Nigerien Air force.

Go and get properly educated before you jump in my comments.

nony43:
Can I know the other 2. Pls don’t mention Israel.

If I don't mention Israel, is it Rwanda I will mention?
Or, don't you see some Ibos claiming Ibos are from Israel?

Ibos have 3 historical theories

1. Hebrew Jewish Link
2. Egyptian/Kemetian/North African origin of Igbos
3. Igala (internal migration) Eri link

CorrectionFLuid:
Then Yorubas have accepted nonsense. That falling from the sky story makes no sense. And if you accept it, don't force a people who have chosen to ask questions, because they've got brains , to accept what doesn't make sense.

And finally, that doesn't excuse their story, from being told in a country that calls itself a federal republic.

The best indicator of a progressive society lies on how often they question so called traditions and highlight ways of making them better. You can keep your money. There are people within your immediate nuclear family in desperate life or death need of it.

You are saying Yorubas have accepted nonsense simply because you don't accept their own version of their history.

You that didn't accept nonsense, tell us a unified history of the Ibo race, more than 4 pages, not a single Ibo can answer.

UNESCO predicted the extinction of the Igbo language in 2050. While that timing may not be accurate, it is bound to happen and behaviours like yours are accelerating it.

Today, most children born to Ibos outside Iboland can speak Yoruba language. Yoruba wedding dressing has colonised Igbo wedding dressing. Is Asoebi part of Ibo culture?

So my friend, as you sleep tonight, remember that he who has no history has no future.

CorrectionFLuid:
In the book, Yoruba people fell from the sky.

Exactly. Yorubas have accepted that. Did you see any division, dispute or rancour?

But until Ibos learn to sit down and agree, they will never have a place in history. Fact.

RIP, may the God you served receive your soul.

Brendaniel:
Ahhh dem don play you 419, I know that group, na so dem deceive one of my friend tell am say Tinubu na be d builder of Lagos, today the boy eye don clear, the people wey dey claim Peter Obi for that group na people like MC Oluomo, omo na one chance you enter so, run for your life...

No be Tinubu build Lagos, na Okeshuku and Ogeshy build Lagos.

Make I run for my life the way una run comot south east dey take succor in Asaba and other people's land.

chatinent:
But why do we allow terrorism thrive and boom?

If terrorism doesn't boom, what will people like AMINDA use to criticise Tinubu?

AderonkeOlaniyi:
Stories. Big propaganda for a sinking and failed country.

Azuka, no finish all the water wey dey ya eye. Na 8 years you go use cry this water wey you dey pour from your eyes tonight so.

AMINDA:
Funny. Nothing wey we no go see for Agbado Bureau of Statistics hand. Is this also one of the achievements of Tinubu?

Aminu, you go cry pass Kwankwaso.

Brendaniel:
Na wetin your APC whatsapp group tell you?

Na wetin Emma Powerful tell Peter Obi. We gather dey the same WhatsApp group.

fuckJones:
Let us wait for our online president

He dey backyard dey wash pot. He's been serving jollof rice since morning.

Brendaniel:
And still losing over 500 thousand barrels of crude oil daily to theft smuggling, it is well...

Obinna, Na you dey drink the crude oil na.

Orlandoo:
We still remember how Burkina Faso seized Nigerian air force officers and their rickety airplane. Tinubu is an embarrassment to Nigeria.

Air Peace has more aircraft than the air forces of Burkina Faso and Niger combined.

You just dey start, you will still cry in your native language.

mrvitalis:
Lmaooo once you See APC paid write up you just know

Nigeria GDP is not bigger than South Africa GDP we are 40% or more short off

Real GDP contribution is largely driven by population and not productivity

You know the painful part? APC guys know this but would still push the wrong narrative

Same when they started measuring GDP in PPP lol

What was written by Businessinsider is what you're calling an APC write-up?

No wonder they dey cage you guys every Monday like fowl.

AustineE1:
The authors of this book tells you a story of the level of hatred and bitterness in a certain tribe have for the igbos,however igbos keep striving for greater heights while some others choose to hate.
First of all,FG should not only offer a rebuttal,they should go ahead and ban the book all over Nigeria and the authors should be invited by the DSS,to explain the reason for wanting to ignite ethnic tension in Nigeria.Like I have always known because of the characters involved,it will quickly be swept under the carpet.
We move on!

Stop making noise and crying without cause.

Go and write your own book and exclude other tribes.

nairalanda1:
I;m not competing for the prize, but the problem with origins of tribes in nigeria is oral history, which can get garbled in the process of transmission

(As an example...we don't have a clear view of English history before the Romans came, and as for Scandinavia...before 1000 ad, all we know is they were sea pirates and bandits).

Fulanis, for example...their progenitor allegedly migrated from Egypt to Guinea/Senegal, where he married a Wolof woman, and thus came the Fulani...which raises a lot of questions
1.How did the guy travel across the desert with all the cows.?
2. So he married a Wolof girl...are the Fula a subgroup of the wolof, ...which then brings the question...where do the wolof come from?


Igbos.
1.Probably came from the North due to the great displacement caused by the Sahara widening into a desert over 6000 years ago.
2.Probably migrated from elsewhere
3. Probably have always been there.

The same issue exists with all tribes in Nigeria. That's because of the problems with oral history. Even those that claim they came from Egypt or from the middle east...for all we know, they migrated thousands of years earlier when the areas became desert...and the story became garbled somewhere.

You won';t get a clear answer to your question really. Or even to the origin of your own tribe. At some point people were displaced to other parts of the world

Take the English, the Anglo saxons took over and assimilated the Celts in England, and the Celts also assimilated and displaced the original people of the islands over 3000 years ago.

Thank you for your contribution.

Now, back to the controversial matter.
Which of the narratives in bold would have been put in that book which would not be rebutted by other Igbos?

Cos if they wrote any of them down, other Igbos wil accuse the writers of bias and attempting to distort history

aieromon:
.
Mr Abhulimhen’s pictures, which were secretly taken by Ms Laura’s friend,... was later found to be the liaison who received funds from Ms Laura

Jamb cutoff go dey crazy be that.

Pearl1910:
Have u eaten this morning?
The origin of your own tribe is not widely accepted and undisputed by all your village people, but u want someone to drop that of the Igbos because of ur miserable audio money.

It is ironic you are talking about food when you lost a war because of starvation.
If you saw food to eat, would you have had "the kwashioks"?

You have nothing to drop as to your history and it is a shame.

VanuatuWycombe:
Hunters from western Cameroon? Wey my 100k. 😝😝😝

Someone said they are from Eri, another said they are from Israel.
Different answers.

BeardedMeat:
Can you provide link from where you got all these from? If it's asking for too much, which of the narrative do you agree with?

It is not in my place to agree with any.
I can not be more concerned than the people concerned.

nony43:
Igbos Originated from Nri.

That is just 1 version out of 3.

chiagozien:
But is our job to educate you about Igbo history?
You don't care about your wasted of school fees.

Look at the grammar of a fellow who wants to argue with someone better than him.

This is impressive. Hopefully, security of Nigerians in the rural areas is also given due attention.

AK481:
Someone approved this book in lagos .
Who?

Wuche.
It is not the duty of anyone in Lagos to educate pupils on the history of strangers.

chiagozien:
Answer the question.

It is not my job to educate you. If you wasted your school fees in your formative years, that's your pro.

chiagozien:
Where Yorubas originated from?

If you must quote me, type in good English.
