Igbos And The Lagos Controversy. by Amarabae(f): 2:28pm On Nov 21, 2017 |
While the Nigeria media space was celebrating Anambra peaceful election and mourning a great elderstateman Dr Alex Ekwueme, A controversial oral bombshell exploded from the mouth of the newly re-elected governor of Anambra state, Willie Obiano. I was vividly disappointed by the obiano remark that Anambraians built Lagos, its undiplomatic,inflammatory,and divisive. Issues like this can set us up against our hosts. The Question of who developed Lagos can be examined down briefly below. Lagos a Yoruba state started seeing some developement right from the days of the colonial era, Its development rose when it served as the capital of Nigeria,the Federal Government pumped a lot of money in some infrastructure in the state, After she lost her capital status to Abuja,the modern Lagos continued to grow and it is the melting point of all ethnic groups in Nigeria who are in the state. Taxes generated from industries,factories,business centers etc is the source of IGR of the state. Bragging about Igbos developing Lagos makes us look stupid before the world for some reasons. Its time we Ndigbo show the world our own Lagos instead of salivating on another person property. Aba or Onitsha are two Igbo cities that we can develop like Lagos if we have visionary leaders. So why the controversy? Careless remarks like that of Obiano arm our host against us, Lack of diplomacy should not be a weak point to us, That statement by obiano portray us as Land grabbers which in reality we are not. I am not ashamed to say it that despite awolowo £20pounds saga, Lagos provided the platform by which some Igbos regained themselves economically after the war, So why the unnecessary provoking? Igbos should think home now for investment, there is no pride in bragging about developing another man's land and leaving your own to rot. Enough of this controversy,Lagos is a Yoruba state and remains so. We can build our Igbo cities and towns to international standard and stop this unnecessary "Lagos and no man's land" jibe. Thank you. 48 Likes 9 Shares |

Amarabae, this is just a signal that the east is loosing it's strong hold in the commercial wing of Nigeria's economy. This continuous claims of glory is similar to the Agama lizard that fell from a tree, when nobody was there to sympathize with him, he decided to do so himself. 14 Likes 1 Share |

Amarabae:I read the news on what Obiano said and I was shocked. The idiot just started up what we hate OUK for, blabbing rubbish while stirring up controversy. Was it that he was drunk when he said that or he just wanted to tend? Haven't read any statement from him concerning Ekwueme who just passed on. It made me wonder, upon all our achievements, why can't we replicate the same? Why can't we change the status of Onitsha and Aba, making it become an advanced market? Even if you dominate somewhere, why not do it silently and let your works speak for you? I'm sorry to say but dude goofed big time on this, even pitching sone ethnic groups against Igbos. It's a sad situation. Most annoying is that some persons are beginning to open up topics on it and bragging about it. Please, drum it in their ears let them learn... 20 Likes |

This sad and destructive traits are not limited to just obiano because bragging, beating empty and shallow chest, loud, flawed, ignorant and undiplomatic claims are part of the igbo DNA structure. The average igbo in his or her mind is better than the rest of Nigeria and the world in general even though this is not the case because the rest of Nigeria and the world can see the sad and horrible situation in the SE and the breath of their grossly incompetent, non productive and vision less leaders at the local and national level since and before independence. This is a society that's very unproductive economically hence the need for their young and old generations after generations to leave that region for survival and daily bread in other parts of the country, but they still want the world to accept them as the richest, smartest, most developed and the most industrious region in Nigeria even though the economic realities in the region says it's the other way around since financial receipts, IGR and state budgets in the region are the lowest in Nigeria so claiming what doesn't exist or can be supported with credible facts and data equals delusion and self denial. Lastly, when you have nothing significant to show from your own home or to be proud of, you needlessly claim or attache yourself to other people's land and property. Question:: Where is the sense and wisdom in claiming what doesn't belong to you and boasting that you develop other proplr's land while yours rot and stagnate away? This is lunacy. 38 Likes 7 Shares |

All these noise about Lagos is just because Ipob are now irrelevant, insignificant in the scheme of things and most importantly they have been relegated to the background hence their noise on Lagos matter…check out how many thread they have opened on Lagos since the disappearance of the hunchback. It intensified after the succes of Anambra election…. More to come from the confused lot, they are angry, bitter and frustrated…… Igbos live, eat and shiite in illusions.
