Am a northerner and want Igbo to be president I am for obi
Dave Umahi is far more capable than him. Go and check out the development Umahi left in Ebonyi..
Keep trolling. They are toxic and can never rule Nigeria.
No peter obi no igbo president ❤
….and they’ll both present themselves for that debate‼️
@@moham.279what do you mean by development? Human development, capital development, social development? Till tomorrow Peter obi rank top among all the current politicians from igbo extraction.....
Governor okwesilieze thank you
Thank you for lying to you the gullible Igbo youths 😂
@@Shoki2037I have never seen a people as gullible and foolish as those people.
@echetabuemeka4087.; Lamba 😅😅😅
They have give so much to this nation whether individually or naturally. They are the heart of this nation believe or leave it.
What are they giving to the nation more than other tribes though. I really think understanding how other perceive your delusion of grandeur might help re-orientation you.
@@Abillsableand what has your tribe contributed to the development of the nation apart from plundering the resources of the country?
@@Abillsable you can only be blind to reality that they have given more than any other to the development of this country. Should we start from higher taxes, the high foreign repatriation, oil which is the center of our economy or investments in non state of origins. If you can name the one that has the same or more contribution than them then I will keep quiet.
What heart when they are lucky to have enabling environment created by other tribes for them to thrive, the noise is too much because the igbos act too entitled like other tribes don't exist, what about the ppl from the south south who up till now still feed the entire nation have we put the roof on fire?
After other region gave them enabling environment to thrive, those region need to be shown gratitude
If you listen to conversation such as this, you will not fail to come to the understanding that this thing will never work. These Igbo leaders are complete failure in every ramification of failure. If everyday Igbo person have continued to cry for marginalization and the leaders are also crying alongside the ordinary people, what it simply means is that, they are TOTAL FAILURE.
You are been tribalistic , segregative and parochial. 60% of properties in Lagos are owned by Igbos, do your survey they control the commerce of this nation, why call them failures . Infact, you have nothing to offer.
The power is bigger than them just relax igbo are not stupid when the table turn around we will treat them with mercy😢😢😢😢
I totally agree with you. It's a shame he's a former governor and he could not boast of his state but Lagos and Kano.
Home building might be more valuable right now in the south-east than ever.
🇹🇬🇹🇬this is what I'm saying since a couple of years that I'm trying to understand Nigeria. I noticed that igbos are very brilliant, pro-africans, pro-black, best in business, educated, united..and I asked myself why don't these guys develop southeast ?! I even wonder sometimes if the nigerian political elite that runs this country is not afraid of the igbos. I feel like some individuals in the northern elite are afraid of reprisals if the igbos come to power, because of what they did to them during the war. That’s why today namdi kanu is still locked up, look at the judges of the Supreme Court. It's like they will prefer to give power to a cat than to recognize the victory (rejected now) of an igbo in the presidential election, the yoruba could improve their condition but do not realize that they are used. Don’t you see the hypocrisy surrounding these questions? All these false pretences are useless, as a neutral person in the history of Nigeria.... The basis on which Nigeria operates, the constitution, is not even fair at the moment : so what more do you want to accomplish? Develop your region and be a model for Africa you have everything you need to get there. But obviously all this is just my opinion 🤷🏿♂️ (sorry english is not my language 😂 I'm not fluent yet)
Ewu biafra, you have come here again to lie and claim what you are not. When did yoy so called igbo people start going to school. Your handy work is drug trafficking. Then thr reading you do is local trading with all those butcher you have everywhere and you go aroind making noise asking that nigerian politicians should be afraid of you.😂 wonders will never end. I think you need your medicine.
No one is scared of igbos. Politics is based on trust and so with all things. Igbos have trouble with trust everywhere. I lived in the north for 3 years, I saw how the hausas don't trust igbos and same with yorubas. Trust is earned, not claims. They will need to build it.
Your oloriburuku mama is being used. Support who you want ,however, don't ever be condescending to Yorubas and Northerners. Omolasan ikeji aja
@@adeabraham126 😅 But brother what’s the difference between what you just said and what I wrote ? You just replaced the word "scared" by trust tho. But to be fair I don’t think yorubas are afraid of igbos, because from what I've seen except during elections when some leaders use ethnic tensions as tool of division, for their personal gain : these two groups yoruba and igbo seem to coexist and mix actually pretty well.
@@adeabraham126fuck your trust.
Clowns who can’t even stand each other but only pretend to like each other because you are afraid of competing with the Igbo who are far more competent than you are as a collective
All these hypocrites, they talk as if they have the interest of ndigbo at heart, he was a former governor of Enugu state, what were his impacts and achievements as a former governor, I don't really know, but I know he was accused of loading huge amount of money inside 504 Peugeot and buried it inside the ground. He talks as if ge really cares about the poor and middle class of ndigbo, when they failed to secure a position or failed to succeed in securing positions for their boys who represents their personal interests, they will start lamenting, he was silent when ipob was humiliated and proscribed, he was silent when Nnamdi Kanu was kidnapped and put in detention, he wa silent when Mr Peter Obi was campaigning and they secretly supported Atiku of PDP, let him continue wailing.
God bless you sir. Igbo will thrive.
Igbos didn't just build few states in Nigeria. IGBOS BUILT NIGERIA 🇳🇬
Shut up, face the fact
And what's the fact?
Do u know the meaning of fact?
If u do then u won't be asking for what u have.
Take 2months, travel round Nigeria then access the investment of Ndi Igbo in each state then u will have the fact.
@@sunnicentertainment7809according to a quote If someone is gonna give you clothes to wear, you gotta see what that person is wearing. You can’t even build your own state..
If Igbo are so good at building places, how come your towns are trash?
Since 1970 Deltans have been providing 95% of Nigeria foreign exchange and 80% of the revenue. You don’t see them on social media platforms whining.

I beg our elders in the East to leave this topic and focus on developing the East.
And you think by not talking about this will change any thing.
Honestly it's annoying & irritating. It's something everyone knows. Let's look forward & develope east massively. Chikena. Theses guys are transferring blame from themselves to FG.
Exactly

You are saying nothing but the truth sir, many people will argue it, but that is the fact.
Truth is life, thank you speaking up... God bless you.
Give us a break and stop the claptrap. Igbo people left their homes for opportunities available in other parts of Nigeria, that they didn’t have and not to build any damn place. My parents left our tribe and home for Lagos. Some of us japa to climes so cold you’ll think your nose is about to fall off. Who wants to dig a car out from three inches of snow just to get to work? We buy houses, send money to Nigeria and show appreciation to those who gave us a fair shake. Y’all need to get out of our faces and go build your home joor.
Naa... the Igbo created the opportunities in a welcoming land. Lets work together n stop this childish talk
@@jewelofnashville1726where exactly is a welcoming land?

Before you start blabbing. Google who established the first stock exchange in Nigeria...
There is no doubt that the Igbos contributed immensely in deveoping the major cities of Nigeria, in order to further their entrepreneural pursuit. We the Igbos believe in this enterprise called Nigeria and all we want, is to be treated fairly.
You people that can't build your own home claim to build other peoples home. Buuild ya land, tell me exsctly what you built, nothing, just come and enjoy other peoples work while your home is a mess.

@@osinakachukwuokafor3066 it doesn't take upto 1min to observe a Clown 🤡 from their speech.
I don't need to mention to you, go and make your research.
You are part of the problem igbo made money from their hosts by doing business that has nothing to do with building a place, though they contributed it's a fact. I live in the US, and in my own way contributes to building of the state I live in. Stop gaslighting yoruba with your statements.
The Igbo community is predominantly known for their involvement in trading rather than substantial investments in manufacturing. Interestingly, the two largest investors in Lagos are not Igbo but rather Hausas from Kano. Their combined investments surpass those made by Igbos. However, these individuals do not boast about their contributions to building Lagos. Many Yorubas and members of other tribes also have companies and investments in Lagos without making excessive claims about their role in creating the city. It's worth noting that the entire Igbo land is smaller in size compared to Oyo State, making it potentially easier to develop if the Igbo community directed their efforts towards its advancement instead of engaging in unproductive debates about assisting others in developing their own land. This highlights the importance of focusing on priorities effectively.
Many ibos came with nothing to Lagos but made something from Lagos. Hence its Lagos that made them not them making Lagos.
Just the Igbo stores in Local areas of Lagos surpasses all northern investment in Lagos and this generates more IGR to Lagos state more than the big northern businesses. Lmao you are just funny. Don’t bring in the north into this. Don’t get distracted by dangote ref. The Lagos government knows the truth. Yoruba political elites knows the truth. Nigerians business gurus understand it better. Take a rest brother
Likewise, please note that the entire Yorubaland is smaller than Niger State and Ebonyi state alone in Iboland is twice bigger than Lagos itself.
Even Sudan alone or Democratic Republic of Congo are each bigger than the entire Western Europe with over 15 countries. It is sad that when reasonable people
are discussing you lot always come up with your jaded Oyo State trope.
Bro,
Some of you are really funny, vacuous and boastful beyond belief. One Yoruba guy one boasted in the internet that the campus of the University of Ife alone was bigger than the entire city of Onitsha, Anambra State! Can you beat that?
@@RadioTV595 my argument is not about size but what you make out of it. The Small the size the easier development can be done. It's not about boasting but for productivity.
Igbos will thrive no matter what they do against us. Thank U sir Dr
Igbos have contributed immensely to the development of many major cities in Nigeria. Everyone knows it, they are actually the only ones that are willing to settle and integrate with other members of the societies

Beautiful
When Nnamdi Kanu was a freeman, was SE safe? Nnamdi Kanu was spitting fire from abroad, telling his foot-soldiers, the ESN to remove every security checkpoints in the SE, which led to the burning of most police stations, and masterminded the sit-at -home "doctrine". Our dear Governor, Nnamdi Kanu brainwashed and sent innocent Igbo youth to their early graves and has consistently made the SE insecure.
Your foolishness stinks, I pity you
I didn’t see this man going around to campaign for Peter Obi, oga is too late to cry
Great interview. Reasonably conducted with obvious maturity.
Take a walk in Igbo,s shoes before you judge them.
This applies to everyone...😂
That enduring Igbo victimhood must be such a pleasurable indulgence. Like a cat on a strong dose of catnip, you people just can't seem to get enough of that indulgence in your victimhood. And some of us in the audience just can't get enough of the melodrama.
Statements like this by lgbo leaders will always attract more resistance from other ethnic groups. How could any human being claim that lgbo has 70 percent of developments in Lagos, Abuja, Portharcourt, even Kaduna and Kano could not be supported by any empirical statistics. For instance, one video listed names of 50 leading business owners in Lagos, lgbo natio amity were not more than 10 per cent. Does it really make sense to claim that lgbo developed other regions while theirs remained underdeveloped. Very concerning.
If its true why cant it be said ?
They have a culture of making it outside their enclave. Azikwe and Ojukwu were both born in Zungeru Niger State.
Just stop the nonsense argument. You will also be the first to oppose a referendum for them.
The truth has come to stay. None of you can shade it away .It is time for Igbo tribe to earn their God giving blessings in the nation of Nigeria .You better start accepting them now .Thank you
@ukejepaul5848 Why can't lgbo people learn from other tribes in Nigeria. I don't hate lgbo and l will never hate lgbo. However, when some of your leaders rub it on the faces of other ethnic groups that you made them or without you they are nothing then l want to ask, are the lgbos the only people buying their goods in Lagos or before the arrival of lgbo were these other tribes not having a life of their own? Igbo should play it down and allow peace to reign. Is it not the lgbo that lpob members are killing daily in the East in the name of self-determination? It is high time for the Igbo to change their strategy because force has not worked. Again, l don't hate lgbo, and l hate the shedding of blood in the region
Igbos that were naked until 1963 after Okpara issued an Edict banning Igbo going from to markets naked
And they produced the first black vice chancellor of University of Ibadan, Prof Dike and first black chancellor of University of Lagos when it was established was Prof Eni Njoku. And Sir Louis Ojukwu became the first billionaire in Lagos and Nigeria and became the First President of Nigerian Stock Exchange etc, think about that.
I am not igbo but I just have to say that you have no sense. Try and get one.

Excellent rendition of facts and analysis backed up by expertise provided, more grease to your elbow
Wouldn't it be more reasonable for this man to thank and appreciate these states and the people of that state for allowing the igbos to survive? These states gives life to the Igbos, what if they refuse the igbos in their states, considering their dubious and nefarious ways of so called business. What if these people have not made their place safe for the igbo like the igbo states are not good enough for the Igbos themselves not to talk of outsiders?
This man should appreciate the level of tolerance and endurance showed towards the Igbos in all these states insread of trying to make them hates the igbos more. They help the Igbos and not the other way round..
Why would you help the Igbo’s ? Help yourself by supporting your Yoruba nation. Unity beggars!
First debride yourself of “slave mentality”, migrating into any land isn’t a privilege, but absolute right of anyone .
A group that has an average character of contributing significantly to their host is something the host should be grateful for ,
You can’t say same of Hausa that comes and build pako in market, Fulani that rather live in bush terrorize your parents .
Notice all groups have fair chance and opportunity the land provides ,

You are either ignorant or blinded by bigotry even some past and present States governors across Nigeria acknowledge the undeniable fact for instance 2023 Statistics from NPA showed that 60% of importation through Lagos seaport came from Southeast if you add up Igbos in other parts of the country including Lagos Now translate that into revenue generation you will understand
Nigeria earns over 90% of revenue from Oil from Niger Delta and revenue generated from imports

Lagos was already called African Liverpool as at 18/19th century.
By 1492 AD, it was already a commercial center
Dey play! Na u call’em Liverpool 😂😂🤌🏾
Even if it's called sokoto as at then,the igbos did it.
Even the British can not claim they entirely built Lagos. Lagos was already on the way to greatness with coming of freed enslaved Yoruba from Brazil in 1855. These were educated,westernised,highly skilled individuals. Lagos' historical record is intact. It can never be altered by people who came in thousands to take advantage of the free education system of Awolowo in the 80s and came in mass in the 90s. No amount of propaganda,even by Igbo elders, will be allowed to undermine Yoruba ancestral development of Lagos.
Where did U get this history? Duummmiii
igbo's were building Lagos in 1492. 😅😂
Please leave other parts of Nigeria. Go and build your own land and let us be…
Is east to make noise, the entire east is a blessing to this cooperate organisation 60 to 70% of the national budget is coming from the east.
If not for the marginalisation agenda Nigeria would have succeeded more check the 50s and the 40s or early 60s Nigeria was doing well until they chose to hold one down unknown all of will be down there together. Think of warri now part of Delta state in the 50s or Benin Port Harcourt Enugu or Onitsha was doing well until they stop Port Harcourt see and air Port international movement even the graet Benin City have the same faith warri have a good sea port nd Sapele also.
In all this years when Nigeria was called the giant of Africa this cities was doing extremely well this are the days leadership position is by competence and character not tribalism or religion
Ibadan
Benin
Port Harcourt
Enugu
Warri
Kaduna
Aba
Lagos
Calabar
Etc was the pillars that kept the nation on the run.
Immediately after the war a great blockade started in the east till now Port Harcourt and Benin see or air Port is not allowed to function like others in Abuja or Lagos. Benin don't have sea port Thou but warri do have.
Major military installations is still in kaduna and they re still building more, but the east was denied so many things
Till date but the people from the east are still striving till date
Keep d leadership aside let port Harcourt see and airport be working internationally
Benin airport
Warri and Sapele sea port
Calabar sea port
East will then attract National nd foreign investment
The difference is that Nnamdi was inciting hatred among Nigerians

All we ask is sense reciprocating this kind gesture
It is hypocritical to think Nigeria first before thinking ethnic group unless we expect to excise the ethnic group from Nigeria. There is nothing wrong with ethnicity. It is a fact of life. What is wrong is the way we manage the pride we have in our mosaic of ethnic groups. Wiping out ethnicity is like denying our ancestry.
Dr. Ezekwesiri Nwodo, you are absolutely correct and on point 👉.
Ndi-igbo are the envy and nightmares of other ethnic groups in Nigeria.
Whom God has blessed, no man can deny him the blessings. Gbam !!!!!!. Kudos to Ndi-igbo all around the world.
Well said
That’s a very good question. Think Nigeria first.
Ndi-igbo are the heartbeat and engine room of Nigeria. Without Ndi-igbo , Nigeria is just a geographical location in Africa.
Ndi-igbo exit will put Nigeria into coma the next day and Nigeria knows it. The word BIAFRA is like a big masquerade before Nigeria.
Igbos did not create Lagos, Kano, Portharcourt and Abuja, rather they helped develop these states greatly. I believe the Former Governor has made it clearer.
This outburst is totaly uncalled for;he has further opened the eyes of others to be wary of the Ibos and all they represent.Ndigbo must stop their arrogance!
This man will be the first to throw in his support for Atiku when opportunity comes knocking. He has done it always

Facts 💯💯💯
Nigeria build Igbo.
These kinds of statements ONLY create more division than UNITY amongst everyone. Let everyone of various tribes KEEP their personal opinions to THEMSELVES. Assuming that these types of inflammatory and divisive assumptions are TRUE, now what?? Does this make anything BETTER for any particular group or advancement of the country ? ? Does this FIX all of the tribal issues and injustices of NIGERIA suddenly ? ? Several other groups can MAKE the same statements, due to how they are TREATED by various government administrations, etc.
So shameful that a man of this status could talk this way.
Lagos had been the capital of Nigeria for years and most of developments you see today were done by the colonial masters before independence because majority of them were residing in the capital city, they laid the foundations for most infrastructures you see today in many capital cities of the country and made commerce to thrive, the Lebanese were not also left out, they were into textiles and also the Indians. All these make lagos particularly to be a bubbling Commercial city. Igbos did not develop anything, they just saw an already fertile land in most cities of the country and they too started their businesses. People still have sense of history in this country, please stop all these common but unfounded claim that igbos developed anywhere. You are falsely claiming you developed lagos but you cannot develop you own land why? Does this sound sensible?
You can only say this to fools.
Both Hausa, Yoruba e.t.c. are all participants in the project called Nigeria.
Enough of this false narrative.
Lagos was made conducive by the British and everybody is taking a bite.
What does it mean to build a place ?
What's the significance of this discussion? As a former governor in your state, what actions did you take to promote similar development there? The narrative of pitting one ethnic group against another is concerning. How many Igbo states are actively working to develop their own land? Is there anything preventing them from doing so? Dubai's development was driven by outsiders, but does that justify granting them ownership rights over the land?
Ask the Igbos why they want ownership of the land in Southwest? Do they want to change their indigine to Yoruba or what? Is that the reason why they want to overpopulated certain districts so that they can claim ownership of such places? What is the push factors in coming in their millions to SW in general?
Yes there are many things hampering them to do so. The silent conspiracy of marginalization: the closure or neglect of eastern-south-south seaports, the only recently (partially) approved International Airport of Enugu and neglect of other federal infrastructures in the zone, including rail and federal roads. These are heavy impediments. Notwithstanding, the tribe has even managed to "bare hands" achieve Onitsha upstair city and mega market, Nnewi and Aba industrial hubs.
@fredkiller5132, your mouth na him dey kill you people. What you can't accomplish in ten years you say you've done since yesterday.
Nwodo still supported Atiku despite all he said
No mind the old hypocrite
Igbos were favored by the former colonial government they got education and worked in Industry whilst other tribe's were discriminated against by the British.This explains the massive generational gap in education between north and south.
I agree. they are really nation builders. Let them build anambra state, imo and enugu instead of kaduna, lagos and Kano.
❤
All tribes in Lagos contributed to the development of Lagos. Talking senselessly and carelessly always get the Igbos into trouble everywhere they are.
He's Deluded!
Igbo's are singularly marginalized, no doubt about that.
Oga nwodo you and the others Igbos leader you can remain in one nigeria but we want biafra
DID IBOS CAME TO LAGOS WITH MONEY/PROPERTIES ? OR DID IBOS CAME TO LAGOS WITH BLACK POLY BAGS ⚫️ IN THEIR HANDS AS THEIR PROPERTIES ? THE IBOS SHOULD ANSWER THE 2 QUESTIONS AND FEAR GOD PLEASE.
Igbos have contributed 85 % to develop Nigeria
Truth is bitter everything he said is true but they will always deny it.
TRUTH IS BITTER…HOW MANY PLACES IN THE SOUTH EAST DID OTHERS CONTRIBUTE IN BUILDING? WHAT A QUESTION…BUSINESSES WILL ALWAYS GO WHERE GOVERNMENT HAS CONCENTRATED RESOURCES AND DEVELOPMENT PERIOD. IF THEY TRY TO OPEN A SEAPORT IN THE EAST, ITS OVER.
How would you think that people that don't like you would do anything for you or in your place. I keep saying it Yorubas and Hausas don't like you Igbo people. Igbo people it is time to know where you belong to in Nigeria, time to wise up and move to your place and develop your place please
We're no longer interested in whether we built Lagos or the whole of Nigeria. All we need to have now is Biafra. Ndigbo is hated with passion in one Nigeria, and why should we continue dying in the hands of the Nigerian military in the whole of the Southeast? They sent their so-called repentant terrorists who were today in the Nigerian Army. Nigeria's Government brought them to militarize the Southeast where there is no war and they continue killing our youths. What are you talking about? Are you honestly saying that you don't know those who are responsible for the killings of our innocent youths throughout the Southeast? If anyone is sincere, about the plights of Ndigbo in one Nigeria, then what stopped them from releasing Mazi Nnamdi Kanu? A man who survived death by providence in a Military operation that claimed 28 lives of unarmed innocent Igbos youths. Today the same people put Mazi Nnamdi Kanu on trial for jumping his court bail. Worst still, they refused him from even changing his dress. The Man has been wearing one cloth for over two years now. This a man you arrested by Renditioned in another country which on its own is a terrorist offense by the United Nations Charters. The court ordered his discharge for no contest but yet abandoned him in the DSS Cell and deprived him even of his eyes dropped to toothbrush and toothpaste.
This man get sense, how he explain politics.

Why is the Igbo contribution to the development of a Nigerian region even a question?
What about the payback or the wealth that the Igbos got back in return?
Moreover, every other Nigerian has contributed to other developments one way or the other.
This tribal stuff should stop.
I must say I am half Ijaw, half Igbo, and my own family told me recently of the contributions Igbos made in PH before they were pushed out apparently by the Ikwerres after the war. But I urge Ndigibo to leverage their commendable acumen to build a "native" city within South East, be it Onitsha, Aba, Enugu or Owerri. There are limitations obv relating to port etc, but there are still aspects of development that can be outside of that.

You comment shows how narrow minded and uninformed you are. It because people like you have failed to uphold the principles of justice and equity in nation building that have kept Nigeria where she is today.
The word 'create' may not be appropriate but you fault his argument in context.
@@omoregieefionayi8377 a seaport ? Do you know you are landlocked ?
@@omoregieefionayi8377What is the volume of businesses they do in Nigeria? What kind of businesses do they run in Nigeria? Are they exporting, helping the economy by doing so? Or, are they importing, destroying the economy but individually getting rich, without any mass employment even for their own people? The arrogance of Igbo people is why God has not being favourable to your group.God resists the proud and gives grace to the humble. You all need to do a collective reflection and see through your haughtiness! If this doesn't happen, you will be perpetually-hating victims like the palestinians. Nigeria has been fair to your group, allowing you to live peacefully with other ethnic groups, and tapping into their purchasing powers every time you sell goods to them. A sudanese guy at my work place recanted the utterance of an Igboman-coach who said Igbos are superior to every other ethnic groups in Africa, that in itself is an incendiary remark. I wish you guys well at any rate.
@andreicossack5679 Igbo land is not landlocked, ihiala is 20 kilometers to the high see and Delta state, Akwa ibom and River state all are connected to the high see thanks
The early the best because Biafra freedom is real and serious support MSE now
The day you dare bring that your biafra b.s into delta state, we will teach you a bitter lesson you will never forget.
@@fatfarmers7360 do your worst we will wait and see. 😊
You're saying this because other tribes are accommodating not like Igbos who will always be hostile to other tribes on their lands even to their fellow tribes. To cut the story short, Igbo people always want everywhere to be their properties, they are greedy. They will beg to stay or rent from you but later, try to own your property by all means...
Even the minerals resources was contributed 70 %from old Eastern Nigerians Igbo mainly,as we talk government is digging coalnin my village Olo
It is true igbos built lagos and entire southwest with they are crime because if police arrest 10 criminals u will find out 8 are igbos
Were the Igbos forced to come to the cities he's claiming they have built or created? He should mention what these cities would not have if, the igbos were not living there?! This man has contradicted himself by saying that the igbos came to Lagos because of the infrastructures. He's confused. If igbos were not in the SW or Lagos. These cities would have been built by the indigenous people, and wealth would not have been spread faster to the igbos but would be localized. Igbos elders should be careful and control their tongues. That is how these elders taught their children that Lagos is no man's land.
I feel sorry for people denying the Ibos contribution in building Nigeria. You guys are going to feel it as many Ibos will head back home in the next few years to develop their land. And is going to be massive. Lagos will be nothing compared to the scale of the development.
Take away everything own by the igbos in lagos and take away the rent they pay in lagos , lagos disappear, facts
@@alphazolax1843please go fast
It is hard to belief though. Will an igbo man leave all his investment in Lagos to rot without ROI and relocate? If they sell their investments, it would be at a loss... WHAT WE SHOULD BE TALKING ABOUT IS THAT NIGERIANS BUILT NIGERIA. However, I was talking in the context of attributing the CREATION of Lagos to the Igbos or refusing to accept that Lagos is built by NIGERIANS. However, we should still respect the indigenous people of that land. No Egun, Awori, Egba, Benin, Ijebus, ijaws...etc who are the indigenous people though of the Yoruba extraction. The narrative of a superior tribe and rubbing off of others' faces will not help the unity of Nigeria.
Kano was established around 900 AD and it was commercial center in Sudan trading with Othoman etc
Go to Sabon Gari Kano and see what Igbo built there.
Dont mind the delusioned old man, the trans sahara trade ruote which Kano was big part of has been existing for hundreds of years before any igbo set foot in Kano
@@pauluwadima, before came to Nigeria Kano was a hub of trans Sahara trade. Stop boasting for nothing. How can he say the Igbo’s built Kano, Kaduna, Abuja and Lagos? Just imagine the rubbish he just spewed..
@@pauluwadimasabon gari is ghetto trash area filled with beer parlours and ashewo joints...Una carry nonsense go Kano.
If other SE governors can be like ALEX OTTI to provide essential things our states need to drive. Believe me, most people will bring their businesses back home, and by so doing things will begin to move in SE.
The igbos has contributed reasonably in the development of the country. I see many pple condemning chief Nwodos stand but the fact remains that most remote villages in Nigeria and many west African states has igbos living and doing businesses in those places. Yes those places has done well to to have allowed igbos to live and work but lets be honest in some issues. No matter the hatred in you try and be in the shoes of the igbos to understand their predicaments
The narrative that Igbo built some states is very funny to me.How did you build them?
WITHOUT THE IGBOS, THERE'S NO NIGERIA..🗽🗽
Fake products will also continue 😮
Nigeria has been breast fed, and still enjoying the baby feeding bottles of the Igbos for too long. Weaning Nigeria from igbo breast is disastrous.
Igbos bring the bread, butter , cheese ,milk and honey to the table while others show up for breakfast with little or nothing and over feed themselves with impunity acting as if nothing is wrong.
You don't want the Igbos and you don't want them to break away.
Nigeria please make up your mind to what exactly you want.
Igbos are the backbone and corner pillars sustaining Nigeria. The day the Igbos leaves, Nigeria is comatose .
Nigeria let my people go. You don't need them and you don't value them Why keep them??
Stop using Kanu as your talking point!! By God grace they will release him. And I hope he run for governor and let's see what he can do..
Igbos created Lagos? Igbos created the whole of Nigeria
Is it a crime to give them avenue for business?
how did you do that ? Did you come into this earth with a piece of land following you ? How ignorant many of you nigerian ethnic others are
If there is Biafra, Nigeria will fall 😮
Who thinks first as a Nigerian before their ethnicity? We don't have a detribalized leader in Nigeria yet.
IGBO ARE BUSINESS ORIENTED PEOPLE.
I swear if Nnamdi Kanu was yoruba or Hausa they would have released him long time ago, but let it be on record when the table will turn they will be no mercy nothin last forever
Keep peaching to the choir. Igbo telling Igbo that they are great lool
That has proved their selfishness as always 👏
They build everywhere but not theirs home.
We mess up indeed
You should be ashamed of your ignorance….
But the south east is more developed than your region
In a developed economy / country, 100s of thousands of Igbos will be in prison. They sell products that will soon be 20,000 naira in less than 3 weeks for 100,000 naira bcos other tribes have not started importing the products. IGBOS know how to make BLOOD MONEY this way by reducing life expectancies everywhere they go to do businesses.
It is business not that they build it. They are there making money
It’s very simple why can’t the governs and federal government give the south east development. We see so much development in west and north but they don’t give any major developing the south east. Nor is the east have a working seaport everything comes out from Lagos. Let the development come to East open the seaports and give us electricity give the whole of Nigeria electricity. One Nigeria should give development to all regions. Then we will see who is in Lagos.
Seaports and the International airports they maliciously deny you are part of the reasons.You MUST alwwys insist on that
You are lazy. If you were not lazy, you would have built your own seaport by yourselves. I mean your governors in the southeast. I am from the South south, akwaibom is building a seaport, same with delta, same with river state and we are only five states in the south south and three governors are already raising seaport. While you are here crying that the FG should build it for you. Why don't your 5 southeastern states contribute money together and build one seaport. Lazy humabeings whom.always go around thinkng anyone owes you something while no one owes you nothing. You get monthly allocations from the FG every month, go and develope your state and leave the FG alone in peace. What a people.
Everybody contributed to Nigeria, I am tired of this self loathing. Igbos has no right in Lagos. Lagos is a Yoruba state, belongs to Yoruba subgroup of Awori,Ogun tribes whose lands were put added lagos, and also Brazilian returnees. Igbos are visitors and migrants in Yoruba land.
Truth is light! God bless you sir for speaking the truth.
Ask the man how much support he gave to the Ogonis in their bid to be treated fairly in Nigeria.
@linusbarinwa, the man is discussing matters that concern Ndi Igbo, not Ogoni people who, by the way, claim not to be Igbo.
Your guestion is better directed to Ken Sarowiwa.
I think use to be a capital city of Nigeria. People go to Lagos for green pasture. I could remember in 1970s when my mother in law and her husband was transferred to 1st Bank Enugu, the local refused to sell land to the Yorubas. Why is that?, Go to any Yoruba land you will see a lot Igbo land owner. Yoruba are the most detribalize ethnic group in Nigeria. I was from Akoko in Ondo state, Igbo are given land to farm , build and do what ever they want, I bet you will hardly sees that in the East. Hausa/ Fulani and Yoruba did not beg the easterners to come to their land, they all came for green pasture. They are a lot of easterners that benefited from western Nigeria free education during Awo era and Yoruba did not complained about that.
Easterners are their own worse enemies, a lot of Igbo leaders did not supported Peter Obi in the last election while Afenifere was fully supported him and jettisoned Tinubu.
The idea of selfishness is strongly ingrained in them. They always think they know better 🙄. But sadly they are from the streets with no integral names that carries values and meaning, this is part of reasons they are even killing each other in their states. Capital fraudsters 😮
Only igbo live in Lagos, Kaduna, Abuja nd all major cities in Nigeria after d indigenes, no itger itger trive live snd do business, akso buikd hiuses in sll Nigeria cuties.. yeye people
That was not what he said. You yeye people. Your people are in power devide nigeria so that no one can visit your place.
Where's the lie in what the man has said? Only someone who does not mean well for Nigeria would find issues with the facts Dr. Nwodo has laid out here. You can't question facts. They are what they are, whether you like it or not!
