Sometimes you guys forget that lagos state was the federal capital of nigeria,a nigerian state,developed by nigerians,with nigerian resources.

Like new york to america.Triba primates.

Abuja has been the capital for over 20yrs and why isn't its economy half the size of Lagos'? Calabar was also once Nigeria's capital and how come your people don't troop there half as much as they invade Lagos? And tell me what your people are doing in Abeokuta, Ibadan and a host of other Yoruba cities? Were they also Nigeria's capital? Too many questions. No answers

Lagos has not been the capital of Nigeria since 1993, right?

That is nearly 20 years ago..

This is how primitive you guys think and i find it very weird,especially when you claim to be educated.Every nigrerian is free to live where he or she choses.The igbo always capititalize on the opportunities some local tribes dont see,they always tap into it,simplify it and make it adorable,irrespective of the location.The igbos are colonizers.

And probably because of the high competitions at home ground,and of course other locational factors,some choose to find unexplored lands in the union.

Igbos like all the seekers,will live for ever.

Obviously the land is barren and retrogressive because I still don't even understand why the few ones that do some business here can't even replicate such in the SE. There are opportunities in the SW because successive governments have created the platform for businesses to thrive which is largely absent in the SE. And you're the same people that scream 'divide us' the most. Anyway I can't wait for that day

Even if its incorrect just leave us to be deluded. I don't know why any post on any positive news or development in Yorubaland generates so much bitterness from you Biafrans. If it pains you that much, you can work hard enough to make those things happen in your region or you consider it impossible ni?

You brought up southeastern Nigeria and compared it to your regions GDP and I simply explained why there seems to be a gap: because the GDP doesn't prove anything other than there are more salary jobs in the south west like we all knew.

Oil was discovered in 1950s and Nigeria boomed during Lagos time as the capital. Abuja is a haven for the rich which was created specifically not to be like Lagos. Calabar is too old to even be considered here.

You see it that way because you think tribal,not everybody sees like that.Most igbos are lagos because the factors ere there as the federal capital that is strategically located.But as lagos is getting saturated,environmental changes becoming too dicey,instant commincations made easy,and nigeria going more backward,the smarter ones should looking towards east.

I for one wont live or invest in any place in nigeria,except my own town.That will be my base,and from there i will lay my dragnents.

The only snag is the evil government and the system in nigeria,where nothing works.

Now that you mentioned Legacy

Ibo people are in lagos not really because of any federal capital. Federal capital can not guarantee your safety while you work and maKe a living, federal capital can not create a conducive environment for you to do business and grow, federal capital can not provide all the societal and administrative factors and governance to make any place function and progress, federal capital can not promote peace and harmony, good and credible leadership does, the brand of leadership Lagos and the SW is blessed with.

You can not go to your igboland and walk around without looking over your shoulder. You don't have peace and tranquility. The federal government did not provide peace and tranquility in Yorubaland, the leadership and the peaceful DNA structure of Yoruba people took care of that.

It's funny how you ibo people blame everything on the federal government and.never on your worthless local leaders. It's like they are invisible and not responsible for you people. They collect taxes and allocations just like the Yoruba states you people troop into everyday.

Do you need the federal government to gurantee safety security between ibo people and prevent you people from killing and kidnapping each other? What are the losers you call leaders doing with all.the millions in security votes?

Thanks admitting that ibo land is so fukkked up and there is no opportunity to tap into in igboland and they must go to Yorubaland and work their azzzzz off and pay taxes in Yorubaland to develop Yorubaland...

Ibo logic is always upside-down

Good i know about Ewedu, block industries, pure water industries, Gbegiri, Babalawo et al as Dhemmy listed but are they what makes Ibadan industrialized?

Lagos,Ibadan, Ogun state... The SW has the most potential by far. Jealous Igbos will always talk rubbish but it's the truth. Yoruba states are the most developed. Yorubaland has so much potential..Can iboland say the same?

I am not categorically clear,but i presume that monies that commercially change hands in onitsha every day will surmount that of oyo,ogun and maybe ekiti put together.And almost half of the ones that changes in lagos are interconnected with the ones in the east,the same people.

Until nigeria splits up,an igbo man will roam anywhere freely in nigeria.

When nigeria natural splits up,that is when the cause of biafra will be achived,when sanity will be restored to the east,minus nigeria contagious backwardness.

The igbo elite at this moment are NIGERIANS,not Biafrans.They will natural fade away with nigeria.

And anything short of mutual aggreement with all regions as regards the igbo's investments in the event of a split,will be seen as acts aggression.You woulnt want that?will you?
