momentarylapse: I am glad u listed the aforementioned group, u are a good student and listener. They dont yet know or fail to realise that Igbos have finished with them and just passing time and giving eye service nothing more. We absolutely feel nothing towards them but exhaustion and just waiting for wen we go our separate ways. Let me add a little more to the list, the entire NorthEast Central and NorthWest Central with exception of Idoma and Igala. Ebira, Edo, Itsekiri, Apoi and Urhobo are on the watch list, we dont hate dem as much as the aforementioned group above. However, they will have a decision on whether to join us in Biafra or Join Oduduwa. If they join Oduduwa, we keep dem where we kept the yorubas. I urgently need a country where I can live with people dat dont hate me based on my Tribe. 2 Likes |

momentarylapse: I fail to see how it is any of your concern, the tribes of Igbo speaking people that will make up Biafra or the non Igbo tribes that might end up joining us. How about you stop being obsessed with the Igbo future plans for self determination and focus on what will become Of your own people in the Islamic republic of Arewa-Oduanistan, which is what the remnant of Nigeria will turn into, Post Igbo independence. 2 Likes |

[s][/s]laudate:[/s] You are the one responding like a toddler. You don't really need my facts and figures since your tribe was excluded from the list of the tribes that developed Lagos. Stop disgracing your nameless tribe here, people here are beginning to wonder why you can't say the name of your tribe here, some people think you are just being ashamed of your tribe while some are doubting your nationality cos you are clueless about Nigerian history. You are the one beating around the bush here cos all your previous comments were just pointless and meaningless. You are the one that needs to swerve cos you dont have a point. 1 Like

[s][/s]laudate:[/s] I don't think so, you really don't need my facts and figures. I owe you no explanation for that, of course I think knowing the name of your tribe really matters a lot and it will help solving the issue on ground, but since you choose not to say your tribe name I will pity you with this. By 1872 Lagos was a cosmopolitan trading center with a population of over 60,000 people.Colonial Lagos developed into a busy, cosmopolitan port, with an architecture that blended Victorian and Brazilian styles.The Brazilian element was imparted by skilled builders and masons who had returned from Brazil Th.e black elite was composed of English-speaking "Saros" from Sierra Leone and other emancipated slaves who had been repatriated from Brazil and Cuba.By 1872 the population of the colony was over 60,000, of whom less than 100 were of European origin. In 1876 imports were valued at £476,813 and exports at £619,260. Telephone links with Britain were established by 1886, and electric street lighting in 1898.In August 1896, Charles Joseph George and G.W. Neville,both merchants and both unofficial members of the Legislative Council, presented a petition urging construction of the railway terminus on Lagos Island rather than at Ido, and also asking for the railway to be extended to Abeokuta. Lagos history is rich in Yoruba tradition,trade and commerce,infrastructural development and cosmopolitanism." -EXTRACTED With the little facts above, I would like to educate some illiterates making stupid assumption from blind sentiments that they developed Lagos. Lagosians had telephone presence in 1886, Itu and Calabar got connected to Telephone in 1923, while between 1946 and 1952, a three-channel line carrier system was commissioned between Lagos and Ibadan and was later extended to Oshogbo, Kaduna, Kano, Benin, and Enugu. Communication technology is a major signifier of civilizations and if Lagosians were already making telephone calls more than 70 years before your daddies, where then did you get the warped idea that you came to develop Lagos? By 1856 Cable and Wireless Company of the UK had commissioned a submarine cable link between Lagos and London and In 1851 a post office was established in Lagos; all these before of the emergence of Nigeria as an amalgamated country. If I may ask again, where did the stupid idea that Igbo developed Lagos came from? Or that Lagos was developed with Nigeria's money when Lagos was not even part of Nigeria until 1914. I always feel embarrassed anytime I read and hear even so-called educated people from the East making these stupid assertions. The first Yoruba lawyer Christopher Alexander Sapara Williams was called to the English Bar in 1879 whilst the first Igbo lawyer, Sir Louis Mbanefo, was called to the English bar in 1937. Again the first Yoruba medical practitioner, Dr. Nathaniel King, graduated in 1875 from the University of Edinburgh whilst the first Igbo medical practitioner, Dr. Akannu Ibiam, graduated from another Scottish University in 1935. Again I ask, where did the ignorant hypothesis of the backward Yoruba race who needed development by the superior Igbo race come from? For the sake of our generation and posterity we need to teach factual history and not just cook up some rooster and bull ego-centric concoctions as facts. The attitude of recycling long tales steeped in empty arrogance should be discarded before you miseducate your kids with fictions. Awolowo will continue to be the Yoruba hero not because of blind followership but because he gave his people the system of free education, free healthcare and he introduced Television to the Yoruba; making Yorubaland the first region to have a TV station in Africa all done with revenues from Cocoa. It is crass ignorance and Unclad buffonery to claim Lagos was built with Nigeria's money. In addition, where did the foolish idea that the Igbo brought civilization to Lagos and Yoruba-land come from? The aim of this post is not to deride any tribe but to correct the dangerous misinformation trending among some Igbo youths and common in their narratives that Lagos is a no-man's land and that their fathers built and develop Lagos. Your forebears came to Yoruba- land like every other settlers and we appreciate their contributions but the stupid claim that Igbo built and develop Lagos is a gross display of stupidity because Lagos was already developed before your forebears came here from their villages and towns. The first storey building in Nigeria was built in Marina, Badagry in 1845, long before some of hinterland people gave up the idea of conical mud houses with thatched roofs which some boastfully called 'ancient mansions.' How can you now claim your grand-sires developed Lagos? Please if you are one of those spreading the fiction, I expect you to desist from self-delusion and collective amnesia forthwith. The first Igbo alphabet-character set and Igbo primer (Isoama-Ibo) was published by Bishop Samuel Ajayi Crowther (a yoruba man from Osogun) in 1857. How can you now claim superiority over the Yoruba race and even carelessly affirm that your forebears should be thanked for bringing enlightenment to Yoruba Land? While I do not see all these achievements as a sign of Yoruba superiority over the Igbo or any other tribe for I do not believe in racial superiority; I will not also tolerate any attempt by bigots who stoke ethnic hatred through incitement and arrogant claims of superiority over others. You are the one getting angry over nothing, you ended up again disgracing and embarrassing your tribe and yourself. You lost again. 1 Like 1 Share |

laudate: I think this is what he was saying, maybe he did a mistake whilst posting that comment, see the original comment here not that crap written by Yoruba tribalist. The Igbo nation has noted that it contributed over 30 per cent to the development of Lagos and have helped in developing Abuja too, stressing that the present state of affairs in the country makes it imperative for the people to look inwards to build Igboland. This decision was taken yesterday when Igbo leaders gathered in Owerri, Imo State capital, where the apex Igbo socio- cultural organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo called the government and traditional institutions of the South-East states to a think-tank in Owerri tagged Igbo Unity Forum. In his welcome speech, the President- General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Gary Enwo Igariwey said the Igbo group has been striving to be the mouth-piece of the people of the region without success. He therefore expressed joy that they had succeeded in closing ranks in order to move the race forward. “We have never had it like this in coming together to proffer solutions to Igbo problems,” Igariwey said. Noting that the Igbos are very adventurous and great achievers, he pointed out that they contributed over 30 per cent to the development of Lagos and have helped in developing Abuja too. The Ohanaeze leader therefore called on the Igbos to now think home to replicate those things they have done in Lagos and Abuja in Igboland. His words: “We should come together and solve our problems. We are known for our resilience and industry. Thirty per cent of investments in Lagos and Abuja is owned by Ndigbo but now we are calling on our people to think home and build another Abuja in Igbo land. “We should invest at home to create jobs for our people. So, today is a special day because we have decided as a people to close ranks and proffer solutions to our problems.” Also speaking, former governor of old Anambra State, who was the chairman of the occasion, Senator Jim Nwobodo, called on successful businessmen of Igbo extraction to start investing at home in order to create employment opportunities for Igbo youths. For the guest lecturer at the occasion, Prof. Anya O. Anya, the time has come for Ndigbo to re-recover themselves if they must survive in the current situation in the country, admonishing that, “The solutions to our problems can only be found within and not outside. We are the only ones that can solve our own problems.” He added: “We are preparing to rebuild Igbo land to meet with the Nigeria of the 21st Century. We have gathered because the time is critical so that we can chart a new course for our people. There has never been a time we are faced with a barrage of problems like now so we need our past to find solutions to our problems.” |
