no..IF IRONSI HAD NOT TOPPLED BALEWA GOVERNMENT AND DECLARE DECREE 33 OF UNITARY GOVERNMENT

IF AZIKWE HAD AGREED WITH AWO AND BELLO TO INSERT SECESSION CLAUSE.

IF OJUKWU HAD ALLOWED ADAKA BORO TO GO WITH
NIGER DELTA REPUBLIC

YOU IGBO SHOULD ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT HISTORY OF NIGERIA DIDNT START WITH ABURI ACCORD OR 2015 NORTH-WEST ALLOWANCE AS YOU ALWAYS BASE YOUR OPINION ON

U are right, but what escalated d whole ting was that Aburi Accord
When they signed an agreement that all military from each region should go back to their region and guard. Igbo soldiers left to d east, Hausa soldiers left to north but still occupied west, that was one of d issue ojukwu had wit Gowon and what was Gowon reason? And what did Awolowo say or do regards to that?

Occurstaem:

I now get why the Igbos are saying Lagos is no man's land.
They need to be spoken to in the language they understand just as ex-president Buhari had said.

Historical research seems to be you people's greatest fear. Lagos doesn't belong to "yoruba" deal with it.

Ghostagain:

An other Ewarrior, again.
How come anytime someone exposes real history, you guys start fuming ?
This is so bizarre. And that is why I refer to you as "history haram".
You are allergic to true history.

Alaye, stop projecting your insecurities on others. Igbos hate the truth. It's evident on this thread.

Say anything you want as long as it makes you sleep better at night. But one thing is sacrosanct after your hallucinations, reality will always dawn on you.

SonOfDSoil01:
you lack sense. So no one is an indigene in your deluded mind? I guess the cave you came from does not belong to anyone either? So why then do we use state of Origin if not for ancestral identification. Or you think any fool can claim Lagos.

Okoro try and apply for Lagos bursary if you claim to be as equal to the aborigines and let them tell you how your ancestors migrated in search of greener pastures to Lagos and now they are being fed and content they now want to bite the finger that fed them? a word is enough for the wise

You people's definition of indigenous is "the group of people who lived there first" and that information is available to God only. But actual information which is available to mankind is "the pre-colonial country in which Lagos was a sub-territory" and that is Benin kingdom.

You confuse state policy with history. The French government can declare me indigenous in France today, that wouldn't make it historically true.
Politicians are not magicians, and they are not necessarily history researchers neither.
You don't seem to be smart.

OkayDaddy:


Can you tell us what was in Clause 5 of the Aburi Accord?

So what are u trying to bring out from d clause? or is it d only clause in d agreement?

Shattuck:
look the attack has come more from the southwest to the Igbos I see the hate you give to the Igbos, while I also see the hate the Igbos give to the Yorubas too, don't act like the Yoruba are the victims here.

You're definitely the one acting like it's the Igbos who are the victims here which is not.

All this long narrative just because you covet another man’s heritage …..your ancestors have always been covetous and that is also manifesting in their flat head offspring why not build your own Lagos in alaibo y’all can be proud of, after all you boast of being the people with most billionaires in the world or is it a curse that you must deverop another man’s land? Pls have some shame now Okoro

So, you have no idea of what you are even talking about

Shouting Aburi Accord but you don't know what is inside. Your ignorance stinks

Awolowo didn't sign the Aburi Accord. He wasn't even there.
Here is a list of those who signed.

Chairman of the Ghana National Liberation Council -Lt.-General J.A. Ankrah-Chairman
Lt.-Col. Yakubu Gowon- Head of State
Lt.-Col. Odumegwu Ojukwu - Governor Eastern Region
Major Mobolaji Johnson - Governor Lagos State

Colonel Robert Adebayo - Governor Western Region
Alhaji Kam Selem
Mr. T. Omo-Bare

Others as follows:
N. Akpan Secretary to the Military Governor-East
Alhaji Ali Akilu Secretary to the Military Governor-North
D. Lawani Under Secretary, Military Governor's Office-Mid-West.
P. Odumosu Secretary to the Military Governor-West
S. Akenzua (who later became the Oba of Benin - Erediauwa - Permanent Under-Secretary-Federal Cabinet Office

Don't mind the ignorant fool.
He doesn't know the contents of the Aburi Accord and doesn't even know whose who signed.

He's just the typical dumb akpu fool making noise without knowledge.

Yoruba (yarri.ba) was first written on paper in 1808, and it was the name of oyo kingdom (which was quite small).
Over the years, the definition of the word "yoruba" has changed a lot. Now a lot of unrelated people bear the tag "yoruba": the oyo people (yarri.ba), the egba (local slaves), the jebu, Brazilian slave returnees, Sierra leonian slave returnees...

The recent definition of "yoruba" was created by politicians for political purposes and they even invented a myth "oduduwa" to unify all these unrelated people into an "ethnicity". A common language was imposed. And now we have this.

I also did notice that since the ending of the election, many yoruba have become extremely tribalistic against other southerners, including those yorubas who once held national office, they don't mind being tribalistic nowadays. But I also saw them act like this when Buhari was first elected and his VP was a yoruba.

Igbos have their tribalistic problems as well but yorubas seem to be at an other level when it concerns other southerners. It is just very strange.

And can we all agree to look at history with the eyes of educated people, not that of fairytale peddlers ? There was no oduduwa, and there is no way to know who "the first settlers in Lagos" was. What we know is that the ownership of Lagos went like this in chronological order:

1. Oba of Benin
2. King of England
3. Federal republic of Nigeria

Most people in Lagos are migrants, now why one set of migrants (yoruba) believe Lagos belongs to them alone is beyond me.

This clown will never get what is at play here and what Bode George is demanding. You've studied history of Yorubaland so obsessively, with a divide-and-conquer agenda of revisionism you want to use to disenfranchise Yorubas in their land, you cannot even appreciate the main point and what you Igbos have become

As George points out, is it not better you Igbos face your five SE States and develop each to be even better than Lagos, since you have always touted your "one Igbo greater than 500 Hausa" superman credentials , rather than continue to obsess about land you have nonright to and that is thousands of kilometres away from your SE enclave?

Same things you irritants have done in Ghana, South Africa and so many other places to the anger of the indigenes there who always end up chasing you away after they had initially welcomed you naively.

The irony of all this is that most intelligent and aware Yoruba know nought, absolutely zero, about the history of the SE, because they have no interest in you people and your region, talk less of seeing Yorubas wasting hours upon hours on social media trying to lecture others on who 'owns Anambra and such banal crap.

Look in the mirror. You are truly aberrant nuisances and menaces to your fellow man because of your cheating mindset, unreasonable character and covetous orientation.

What all Nigerians should be facing today is how to make out States and regions great and not abandoning those places to go and be dragging the State and regiona of others with them. That is the point of George you covetous hypocrites will never understand.

When even George begins to tell off Igbos to mind their business it is obvious the quarter-to-midnight wahala Igbos are now in with how most Yorubas are today thinking about you lot in unison because they have been totally pushed to the wall with your lunatic obsession with our land, local politics, local administration, culture, lifestyle choices etal.

The average Igbo would rather lie that Martians own Lagos than admit it is Yoruba land. To most Yorubas today, you guys have now become unwanted guest, irritating pests and hated enemies-within because of your antics only you, of over 400 ethnic group, display against Yorubas in their land.

Ghostagain:

I urge you to "stop dragging Lagos" as well, yorubas are no different from any other migrants in lagos. You migrated into Lagos just like other migrants did.

Wow 😲
Yoruba, look at what we did to ourselves.

Okay. Lagos is a biafraüd land. Are you now happy?

evsimmigration:
Ever since Thiefnibuu won, yoruba cowardss have been making mouth threating Igbos cos they think Theifnubuuu will cover them when war starts.
You guys Yoruba have been fanning tribal wars Igbos are watching you.Donot think it will be walkover on igbo war when it will start.You guys have been making mouth destroying their properties out of envy and jealousy cos you think your Theifnubuuu is on the stolen throne.
I only see is that yoruba cowardds are full of tribal jealousy and chronic hatred over Igbos dominated them in their states
A lazy tribe man who always likes to measure dick with Igbos cos out of hatred and jealousy they enjoyed whenever Igbos are being maltreated.

One day one day, Igbos would challenge you and fight you to stupor,you wil see that it is only mouth Yoruba person has.If you like hate Igbos marginalise, curse them burn all their properties,you can never conquer or dominate them, and you can never defeat Igbos when they mean to challenge you.
Fulani did worse than Yoruba, yet Igbos are waxing stronger.Yoruba to me is Akamu case

You and who will fight Yoruba> Leave their region you no wan hear. We have been shouting this since 2017 but una think say na joke. Until when they start physical attack on you before you will learn.
As we speak, an Anambra man is building an expensive hotel in Lagos. Una no go learn the hard way.

Occurstaem:

Wow 😲
Yoruba, look at what we did to ourselves.

Your ignorance of history did it to you.
You guys are even bad at recent history.
In case you didn't notice, I proved my claim already.
Not my fault that you can't accept proven facts.

Na then call themselves “ sophisticators “ ..

This people sef ..

Man go Dey force to ask?

Wetin Dey work dem.. e too different

That your description fits your tribe well.
Cannot engage in conversation without insults. We know all that transpired before,during and after 2023 presidential election.

Some of the consequences of the tribal politics, unruly and venomous attacks on yorubas for not supporting Peter Obi is what we are seeing.

Among the top 4 presidential contenders, one from Southwest, 2 from the North and one from South East.

The northerners did not attack anyone for contesting.

Many who ordinarily do not think Tinubu is worth supporting were assisted to decide to support him with some derogatory propaganda that he pooed and wee on his body, he couldn't lift fingers, same as they say Buhari use Adult Pampers.

If propaganda was enough to get to Aso Rock, Mr Obi would have been there by now.

As for Iwunanyanwu, he is typical igbo man, he may not mean it the way the press carry it, If truly those properties being demolished are across the waterways, then the properties should go. No emotional sentiment can change anything.

Some people need to know that having money is not enough, you must do your due diligence before buying lands anywhere especially in lagos.

Like they said, a fool and his money will always depart down the road. Because he will buy liability instead of assets out of ignorance.

ottersberger:
Pa George is correct. Igbos played their hands to those who now think they have held them by the balls.

Yes, they are up against a very treacherous, vindictive, ego-mongering, and envious tribe, who appreciates nothing and will do anything to showboat when their obvious weakness is laid bare.

Now is the time for the Igbo to once again, like their hated kin in the Orient, show why they, like them, did not drown in the war waged against them. Go back home systematically, build, and prosper.

Play their Lagos and remit to the homestead. When you leave, take your ingenuity with you. Come, they will. They must!.

History is not about what you want or what you believe, it is about what you discover on eyewitness written documents.
Learn the expression "historical research", nobody cares about your feelings or your beliefs, we care about historical research.

If not for madness why would the Igbo man continue to run away from his own people and leave his fatherland fallow.

chopnaira:
Bode George sef don join ronu gang.


They have always been covetous of Lagos. Other non Yoruba tribes that were here before them do not act this way. I.e. the ijaw, Nupe, Hausa e.t.c

They were the first people to call Lagos a no man's land. They have now made PDP Lagos join the ronu gang with their overbearing attitude.

Because he is a good friend of the Igbos he should hand over his Family and inheritance to the igbos kwanu.

Una no get sense true true. Igbo man always they are the only smart race.

chopnaira:

This one handicap me ooo. Bode George is pro LP for Lagos governor and pro PDP for federal.

What happened to him? He was a good friend of the ibos..That's the 2nd PDP/LP chieftain to come out in a space of 3 days to tell ibos to face their own region. The first was Segun Sowunmi.

Nothing wrong in what Bode George said.


Go and develop your region is a good advice.

Ok.

These are very clear signs of a failing nation.

Let's say I am into farming and I came from a part of my country that is a desert, so I cannot legitimately purchase lands in another part of my country and build my farming business, it must be in my part of the country.
Can't you see that we have lost it as a united country.

Why can't all these demented bigots advice Dangote to uproot his refinery in Lagos and go to Kano and build it, or tell Abdul Samad Rabiu to suspend his refinery project in Akwa Ibom and relocate it to Kano, in the same vein also advise Adebayo Ogunlesi to sell off his stakes at Gatwick Airport and come back home to "develop" his region by buying over Ibadan, Akure and Ekiti Airports.

ElSudani:
The question is legitimate. Why couldn't Iwuanyanwu focus more on developing Iboland?
The part of Lagos which was Federal Capital was tiny and the rest was under the Western region.
What is the Ibo obsession with Lagos?
Federal government did not build Ilupeju, Ikeja, Apapa industrial estates Western region did. Ibos came to take advantage of what was already on ground.
This is not a bad thing on its own but to suggest you built Lagos is nonsense and unnecessary provocation.

There’s nothing like Igbo obsession with Lagos, but fact is fact . The igbos developed Lagos just like they have done in Abuja…

yarimo:
Lagos state Government should make sure all luxurious night bus coming from the east are coming back empty, before they could be allow to enter Lagos state.

You want Lagos to go broke?

You're definitely the one acting like it's the Igbos who are the victims here which is not.

I am not saying the Igbos are the victims here, but most of the things they are being accused of isn't entirely true and that is the misrepresentation that I find demonic, you all claim Igbos want to take over Lagos I wonder how? Tell me what the Igbos did recently that warranted the attack by bode George, the latest controversial comment about Lagos was made by the Oba of Benin, even the Lagos is a no man's land comment is a sentiment shared by many based on it's history, the federal capital status, but everytime the Igbos are exclusively criticized for it. 2 buhari ruled for eight years there were rumors about him being a clone but everytime you guys wanna mock people who believed buhari was a clone it is always the Igbos, even Reno omokri believed buhari was a clone recently I see the same man critizing the entire Igbo tribe for believing buhari was a clone, when, I fact it was everyday Nigerians who believed that rumours. 3 anyone not supporting APC is Lagos is being seen as an enemy of Lagos/ Yoruba tribe by the Ronu folks, the attack on Igbos trying to take over Lagos is strictly a political tool by the APC the numbers of Igbos is Lagos can never be enough to singlehandedly make anyone governor so why the fuss about taking over Lagos, how can someone take over Lagos when an Igbo man has never contested for governorship in the state you can all point fingers to Gbadebo being half Igbo, but even before Gbadebo the same thing was said about Igbos when jimi agbaje ran for governor under PDP even though jimi agbaje is from a royal/noble home in Lagos. 4 even with the recent Kaduna bombing by the military, you guys initially thought the kaduna commander was an Igbo man, I see how tinubu supporters even a prominent Yoruba Twitter page was trying to pin the bombing of the Igbos because it was thought the commander was Igbo when it reality he was Yoruba, the military has been bombing innocent civilian for years now never in the history of it has anyone try to put an ethnic colouration to such event, imagine this the president, the vice president, minister of defense, the chief of army staff, NSA neither of them are Igbos but you guys skipped all of this guys and tried to blame the Igbos for it, because you thought the kaduna commander was Igbo,. I am not Igbo but I see the constant attempt to always try to make the Igbos the fall guy.

caracas:

There’s nothing like Igbo obsession with Lagos, but fact is fact . The igbos developed Lagos just like they have done in Abuja…

Yorubas built house in any city on Earth more than Igbos apart from Igbo cities. So why are they not saying they developed those cities?. That is the issue which you ought to understand is irritating. There is no sector in Lagos where Igbo is up to twenty percent. No industry except very narrow ones. So the claim is not right and even if right it is uncivilized to make. UAE, Dubai etc have majority foreign workers and those foreigners don't say such. East is full of Yorubas dominating several industries. High skilled industries which only Yoruba are into in the East and they are not insulting Igbos. It is unfair to be trampling upon your fellow human even if you have the status not to talk of when you don't and you continually do the verbal trampling. If you say you built Lagos, why not say exactly what you built? Such behavior is not civil at all

SWesterners allowing bigoted politicians to start fronting for their tribe for political goals is truly nothing but being short sighted, The damage to future of investments coming to your region is definitely going to be astronomical. You people think you tormenting igbos but every other tribe is seeing the hand writing on the wall as well, Invest in our region we will, Ibos my age and younger will be mad to come and start investing generational wealth in the SW, the older generation who did were fooled by the fake one nigeria being peddled by previous government, We are wiser now.

A close family friend of mine, an igbo man, a private citizen spent over 150 Million USD i.e 16 Billion Naira clearing swamps in lagos to build a tourist town corridor in lagos, Another family friend spent over 23 million USD Building 5 start high rise hotel in ikoyi, to name a few, and see the way yoruba people are insulting us. 10 to 15 years from yorubas will be asking what happened.

But this is all good, igboland so much potential and its being abandoned, and there are also fantastic opportunities in the igboid parts of the SS as well, time to invest in friendlier zones, aku ru ulo
