rhymaster: 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. 8 Likes |

senior123: You have spoken well.. And I thank you for your concern and sincerity. . But ur point about enslavement, you may not know what we the Igbos have to endure in this country.. Brother, leave matter and don't worry about our agitation to succeed from Nigeria.. Pls if we have not blocked anything for you you, pls surport us, we have truly had enough now.. You need to be Igbo to understand my view. Pls surport us to go, we are not interested in anything else.. Even if Nigeria want they can take everything away and allow us just to govern ourselves so as to reach our maximum potential... Any other form of enslavement we ll have to suffer can never be more than what we are facing in Nigeria.. This country is slowing us down.. 6 Likes |

scoleman: Biggest truth known to man displayed right here. I keep saying it if yoloba developed lagos single handily why is it the rest of their region excluding Lagos is as backwards as it can get. Even worse off that cities that were rumbled to the ground during the Civil war. Let the truth be told, if not for oil, Lagos would have been as undeveloped as the rest of southwest...FACT!!!!!!!!! No question about that. According to Akpabio, the money world Bank sent to fix eastern region after the war was sent to the pockets of northerners and the few actually brought out to fix something was sent to Abuja, Lagos and Kano rather than the East. And this is a statement from a politician that grew up in the Eastern region during that time thus knows Wtf he's saying. As for Igbo, even the European documented that Igbo were one of the few African tribe that practiced modern day democracy and one of the few that had the capability to advance if given the opportunity and thus far, reality proves it right. The entire SE was rumbled to the ground after civil war.. Less than 50 years later, without government assistance, the entire region is back to modern day growth excluding Ebonyi unfortunately. Nigeria all together that's 100 years old is still as backwards as it can get. Hell look at Enugu and onitsha, which last i read, was destroyed tremoudsly after the war...look where the f2k both are right now. Sheeeeeet Asaba sef, we built our shit up as well, albeit unlike SE...we did have delta governor assistance but we still built our shit up despite being rumbled. Not only fucking that, look at the so called nation economy crumbling to the ground cause they idiotically accepted a Dullard for president...who did they run to to "grow Nigerian economy", is it not the same Aba boys they degrade daily for being smart enough to make their own shits rather than importing everything including f2king grass like the rest of em.. I mean let's be real. If Igbo ain't in Nigeria...we would have been far above wtf we are in right now....and this is the MF FACT!!!!!!..... they can call it chest beating, over gloating, whatever the Bleep their over hating Southwest @ss want to call it....FACT is a FACT!!!. God blessed Igbo tremendously. We got oil which their greedy @ss separated thinking putting some of us in SS is going to remove who the hell we are. We got anioma, oyinbo, anambra, imo, and abia. Then Gas is tremousdous...we got once again Anioma, Enugu, Imo, and i believe Anambra. The food production..we got Abia, Imo, River igbo and Ebonyi. Let's not even get started with trading business....hell the most known African movie industry in the world..Nollywood is and was expanded to become one of the largest movie industry in the world because of Igbo. God knows we are better off without that sh1t of a country...the best it's doing is hindering our growth and turning useless fools into politicians. I keep saying it...if they truly believe Igbo needs them more than they need Igbo then let's test that sh1t...divide that sh1t hole nation, Let's see who will advance the farthest. It makes me laugh the ones they claims need their@sses for survival are the ones eager to divide the country so we can by ourselves and make our own growth by ourselves while the rest of em shivers anytime the content of desolation is brought to the table. F2k out of here. @thread It does not surprise me. I'll use America alone. Any American that's not clueless about Africa, if you tell them you are from West Africa..the first question they ask is "are you Ashanti or Igbo". So far that's been my experience and I've been around this country. When I first moved to America, when I was still blinded by the stupid "one Nigeria" BS, anytime I inform people I'm Nigeria (blah), the first question I used to get was "are you igbo?". I never gotten anything else. Majority of the reason why to be honest is because of Igbo reputation during the slave trade (aka the resistance against slave masters), Ibo landing historical mark and also Chinua Achebe book things fall apart (which is one of the mandatory reading book in alot of high school in USA..mines included..one of the books I had to read for my summer reading and book report was things fall apart).... that's the reason why. Also currently, alot of Igbo are making thread for education in USA that's another factors that's growing it. Outside of Igbo, Ibibio are starting to make wave too. 11 Likes 4 Shares |

scoleman: 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.

Olabestonic001: 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. 4 Likes 1 Share |

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.

scoleman: 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.
