Why don't you support Biafra then? By the way who says anybody has the right to run you out of any place because it is not Igbo land. Why must Yoruba be left in other places?
Ohaneze! Ohaneze, Nigeria is telling you that ibos don't belong to Nigeria both the north and west, why can you not be a man for once and tell them straight away that it's time for the ibos to separate from Nigeria, millions of ibos has died in the name of one Nigeria.
Be sensible for once, if they don't want them why are they accommodated in the first place.. it's the igbos that don't allow people to settle in their own place. This people are always crying wolf despite not being accommodating themselves.
We're not surprised by the Tinubu government demolishing houses. Igbos should realise this government is known for LAND GRABBING. You can't change them nor can you appeal to them for a change of heart. Please open your eyes, go home and develop your States.
It does not take igbos in Lagos or diaspora to develop ala igbo. It's the duty of the governors and the leaders. Alex Otti is showing what a dedicated good leader can do. Igbos are all over Nigeria. The idea that igbos in diaspora will move to the southeast for the southeast develop is senile.
My Igbo people don't run away unless they are soaked. The present vice president Shettima in the last years before now warns that they will show the igbos in Lagos but igbos called it a joke. This is a preplanned policy.
Let every governor in the east create enabling environment for business to thrive and let the igbos take their investments back to the east. You have the zeal, resources and experience to turn east to Taiwan or dubai of Africa.
Hi, My sincere thanks to Arise media and the anchors. Also my sincere thanks to this great Igbo leader. If this man was the igbo leader since there would have been a head way to their development. Igbos is the unity of Nigeria because they developed everywhere they stayed. In my view, there is no fairness in Nigeria and there will be never a fairness in Nigeria. I think the igbos should unite together to live this union called Nigeria. In the world to come this is how it will remain because, on less there's renegotiation to decide weither to stay or live. Finally, this great leader have done so well since assumed office and thanks to Arise media. My name is Stevephen Odin from London
Youve been LEAVING for over 50yrs and you still contested and voted just few months ago. Dey play. Once you don't have your way, you start whining like little baby. This one na fight to finish.
Thank God for Bath Nnaji he have set the record straight for the Igbos to tape into for massive development that will be beyond any federal government control against the igbos
As for me I am telling igbos here in Europe and Asia and Africa and America stop building in Lagos anymore,as for me because of this great evils of tinubu I will never travel to Lagos again from Abroad, I will rather go through Abuja so Lagos will not see My money any longer, all my investment is already in the east
It's time for Igbos to stop believing in a country that dont love them. You cant continue to extend your hands of love, friendship etc to an entity that doesn't have same towards you. It's sad what Igbos are going through and unfortunately they have failed to understand that!!!
@@princejohn-su5yrdomineering doesn’t mean taking things by force, it means arrogant claims that you’re more important and doing better than every other person
For me, so far, Igbos have been supporting the Yorubas while for the major part, Yorubas have done the opposite to us. It's time we Igbos leave the Yorubas to themselves and forget about the so called southern Nigeria and leave everyone to their own nemesis. There is a reason why the Yorubas are called the treacherous tribe in Nigeria, and they have been making that clear but we kept ignoring it. It's time for Igbos to rethink their alliances and supposedly friends. We can't keep ignoring reality.
Let them invest back home,i lived in Okota in the early nineties.Then lands cost 300k before sandfilling but I knew this day will come when the will display their true colours.Invest in the East period.
Chief please advise Igbo to take their investment to Igbo land so that other tribe will start to respect us, if not the next chief will still come and beg Nigeria to allow Igbo to leave with them
Apart from Lagos Lagos which was a former Capital and every other tribes developed it... Can any Yoruba man say or talk of any other state developed by their effort as a tribe... Is it Ogun that is next to Lagos Lagos Lagos but still lacking or Osun or call the developed states Yorubas developed... When you see a tribe doing great respect and learn from them and not hate in every way... This tribal hate is too much that is the reason Nigeria so sick... If the Igbos should be on their own they will be a great country as the world can see and tell just like it is said "Anywhere you go in the world and don't find an Igbo man, leave"... That alone tell you the Igbos are free minded people they can relate, trade and marry from any tribe or country in the world... Respect to the Igbos 🦁
Using capital as an excuse is not an excuse, capital can be moved to any state, will you be going to every state while you leave your state unattended to, your home is your home, if you fail to develop your home, and you keep moving from capital to capital, then that is the problem you caused yourself, if you have the capacity to contribute to development, then use it first for your state, you do not complain when you are facing the punishment of your failure to make your state worth living for your people,
The federal government should construct seaport in South South or renovate and make the old one in South South functioner and watch Igbos and other tribes move out of Lagos.
The right thing now is not to ask Nigeria or other tribes to allow the Igbos to do business in Lagos. It is pandering to the whims and caprices of those jealous never-do-wells who will never change their hating attitude. What should be done now is to increase the tempo of moving Igbo businesses to Igboland.
I just don't like the constant appearance of Mr iwuanyawu on arise tv talk about the demolition. You have done that enough...please stop . Let the people learn and stop building mansions in lagos
Mr. President General. What happened under General Aguiyi Ironsi. The problem Nigeria is going through right now starts under the Ibo general who usurped the power of the regional government and concentrated it under federal government. The west was vastly developed under Awolowo compared to other regions in the country.
Even if he did so did he consult the Igbo tribe and got their approval to centralize the government ? Must we dwell on that forever ? Can't mistakes be corrected after almost 60 years ? America fought a civil war and moved on as one country without victimizing the secessionist southern states..
iwuanyanwu should continue the preaching while he also advices igbos to take their development to their region.igbos would never be treated as equal citizen in nigeria. the earlier igbos and their elites acknowledge the realities in the country the better for all and sundry.
Don't be surprised that the excavator used for the demolition belongs to an Igbo man, Igbo race needs to ask their chi some questions by now. May God have mercy on the Igbos.
Also make sure you solve the issue of division of S/East and S/South that was mischievously plotted to destabilized the Family of Eastern Region and bring the Family back more strongly and formidable under one umbrella. And by extension the entire Southerners must as a matter of urgency strengthening their unity for their protection, survival, development and progress
The Igbos are our family and we love them with their entrepreneur spirit but there's a serious problems we are not addressing. For many years now Lagos is no longer a capital but still remain the financial hub with the ports. The Yorubas are very accommodating allowing their brothers to settle peacefully even though Lagos is no longer capital. The Igbos are now claiming that Lagos is no mans land where by disrespecting their host. They did this in South Africa, Ghana, Kenya etc. Please my Igbo family learn to respect your host so that they can live in harmony with you. All buildings demolished in Lagos must be compensated. The Igbos in Lagos in 1966 were not very many and they managed to return home during the British war on Biafra land between 67 and 70 and today they're all confused as to the roads leading to their ancestors houses. Please kill your poor spirit of domination, respect and live peacefully with your other ethnic brothers and sisters. Refrain from aggression because you're a long way from your ancestors home. Let's live in love and not in hate and foolish arrogant. God bless you all.
We don hear Mr Iwuanyawu.. Owerre de Booooom now. Aba de Booooom Enugu, Onitsha,Abakele,Orlu,Awka, Nsukka,Okigwe,Afikpo,all de Booooom Booooom. IGBOS should go back and listen to Shettima's evil plan caught on a telephone conversation with his Yoruba friend. Enough is enough bikonu
I see wisdoms in his speech i suggest for both we the young and the old that every region should be treated fairly and be given equal opportunity to thrive we should stop all this hatred and propaganda of hate at all level. God bless Igbo and Nigerians as a whole.
Yes we will begin to give you a maximum respect once you continue to speak and act as a father who has the OBLIGATION and RESPONSIBILITY to protect his children. And what you must do now is to rally your governors and charge them with a task to get MNK released with immediate effect.
Lagos being made capital wasn't up for discussion with any ethnic group, let alone Igbos! Opposing Lagos being made capital wasnt the preserve of anyone! The British arranged it all!! 👊🏾🇳🇬👊🏾🇳🇬!!
We’re not Nigerian , we are Biafran’s we must go one day and leave Nigeria for them, we’ll develop our S/E in less than no time, I guess Abia is taking a step
What have the governors, senators, reps, ministers, etc from Igbo extractions done to better the lot of the Igbo people in the IGBO LAND? Were they appointed by people from other tribes? Even if the igbo people go their way, what difference will it make? It will remain under developed. It's a black man curse.
Mr Emmanuel. N, in your tenure as leader of the Ndigbo or Igbo leader, if actually you engage in developing Igbo--land, that will be a credit to you and eventually brings challenge to all the six geopolitical zone to develop their zone.
I think we should stop this issue of people hate igbos. We have bad people in all tribes. We have many good Igbos, Hausas and Yorubas. Some might be bad but that does not describe all. I have been insulted and attacked by igbos here because i said Nigeria will work and that we should all come together against these satanic politicians dividing us. Meanwhile, many more Igbo agreed with my position that we are all victims of these greedy politicians. No matter what anyone says, i will never hate any race or tribe. I've helped and received help from Hausa, Igbo and Yoruba. Nigeria will work. We need to come together. Lagos state government should also be careful on this matter of demolition. We must be fair to all.
We igbos don't beg. Iwuanyawu and his follow corrupt fellows are begging because of their corruption cases. Continue begging for your family not igbos. Remember igbo ewe gi eze. You have been talking talking talking no action. Ezeife is gone after talking talking talking without any action, u and ur cohorts have started from were Ezeife stopped tufiakwa unu. Men without balls.
We are not pretending we know why the Lagos one was done. There is no pretense here the whole know. If you claim it's not ethnic who amongst your leaders said spoke about it. The whole world knows this because social media has amplified it. It will manifest soon in 5 or 6 years to come. You will notice the impact of the tribalism in Lagos. You think other parts of Africa and the rest of the world don't know who is ethnic. You will find out soon the disadvantages of that action. People need to be careful in these days of social media.
I had full understanding of why people hate successful people out of jealousy, the moment i stepped up my games even among my peers, the jealousy rose to a great height. My take is simple keep soaring never take no for an answer. For me money on my mind.

Mr. Iwuanyawu pls tell Igbo to take their investments to Igbo land and stop asking for Igbos to be accepted where they not
Not true. How can Igbos who have spent their life time in Yoruba land, married Yoruba and have children. How can they live?
Igbos are not going anywhere. Lagos is a federal capital and belongs to all Nigerians.
😅 lol let's part ways so u can't be building Nigeria with oil from niger delta 🤣.
Why don't you support Biafra then? By the way who says anybody has the right to run you out of any place because it is not Igbo land. Why must Yoruba be left in other places?
You don't want him to say everything here
The Igbos are the endangered tribe in Nigeria. The gang up is obvious and the Igbos should think home
Biafra is near and we must take it whether anybody likes it or not.
Ohaneze! Ohaneze, Nigeria is telling you that ibos don't belong to Nigeria both the north and west, why can you not be a man for once and tell them straight away that it's time for the ibos to separate from Nigeria, millions of ibos has died in the name of one Nigeria.
Be sensible for once, if they don't want them why are they accommodated in the first place.. it's the igbos that don't allow people to settle in their own place. This people are always crying wolf despite not being accommodating themselves.
U wan settle in igboland but u no wan buy land, is land free in lagos 🤔?
As if you dey travel@@Ope-fr5hu
Be sensible for once @@Ope-fr5hu
You don’t have the bots to go out of your comfort zone
We're not surprised by the Tinubu government demolishing houses. Igbos should realise this government is known for LAND GRABBING. You can't change them nor can you appeal to them for a change of heart. Please open your eyes, go home and develop your States.
It does not take igbos in Lagos or diaspora to develop ala igbo. It's the duty of the governors and the leaders. Alex Otti is showing what a dedicated good leader can do. Igbos are all over Nigeria. The idea that igbos in diaspora will move to the southeast for the southeast develop is senile.
Good talk Mr iwuanyanwu. Bravo.
Iwuayanwu is and intelligent elder👍God will keep you alive in good health and prosperity for us sir❤we the Igbo's and Nigeria love you sir
My Igbo people don't run away unless they are soaked.
The present vice president Shettima in the last years before now warns that they will show the igbos in Lagos but igbos called it a joke.
This is a preplanned policy.
KUDOS sir, may God almighty continues to bless you in all area of life
Let every governor in the east create enabling environment for business to thrive and let the igbos take their investments back to the east. You have the zeal, resources and experience to turn east to Taiwan or dubai of Africa.
Hi,
My sincere thanks to Arise media and the anchors.
Also my sincere thanks to this great Igbo leader.
If this man was the igbo leader since there would have been a head way to their development.
Igbos is the unity of Nigeria because they developed everywhere they stayed.
In my view, there is no fairness in Nigeria and there will be never a fairness in Nigeria.
I think the igbos should unite together to live this union called Nigeria.
In the world to come this is how it will remain because, on less there's renegotiation to decide weither to stay or live.
Finally, this great leader have done so well since assumed office and thanks to Arise media.
My name is Stevephen Odin from London
Youve been LEAVING for over 50yrs and you still contested and voted just few months ago. Dey play. Once you don't have your way, you start whining like little baby. This one na fight to finish.
I know igbo land will be great again..all we need is to come together and chat a way forward.. countries did it
Even if they do how is it a crime? Igbos are like black people in a white man land😮
Thank God for Bath Nnaji he have set the record straight for the Igbos to tape into for massive development that will be beyond any federal government control against the igbos
As for me I am telling igbos here in Europe and Asia and Africa and America stop building in Lagos anymore,as for me because of this great evils of tinubu I will never travel to Lagos again from Abroad, I will rather go through Abuja so Lagos will not see My money any longer, all my investment is already in the east
You cannot tell people to stop exercising their rights.
Better still Enugu. When you arrive Enugu from abroad, you truly feel the sensation of homecoming. No more sundry thugs fighting over your luggage.

That's why I love mazi nnamdi kanu
Why not join him?

It's time for Igbos to stop believing in a country that dont love them. You cant continue to extend your hands of love, friendship etc to an entity that doesn't have same towards you. It's sad what Igbos are going through and unfortunately they have failed to understand that!!!
Talking as if you love other tribes. Your domineering attitude and inordinate desire to take everything for yourself is one of your problems.
How have the Igbos been dominating others?@@agbolagadesam1030

@@princejohn-su5yrdomineering doesn’t mean taking things by force, it means arrogant claims that you’re more important and doing better than every other person
For me, so far, Igbos have been supporting the Yorubas while for the major part, Yorubas have done the opposite to us. It's time we Igbos leave the Yorubas to themselves and forget about the so called southern Nigeria and leave everyone to their own nemesis. There is a reason why the Yorubas are called the treacherous tribe in Nigeria, and they have been making that clear but we kept ignoring it. It's time for Igbos to rethink their alliances and supposedly friends. We can't keep ignoring reality.
Even other Africans from Cameroon and neighbouring countries know about Yorubas .
Let them invest back home,i lived in Okota in the early nineties.Then lands cost 300k before sandfilling but I knew this day will come when the will display their true colours.Invest in the East period.
Chief please advise Igbo to take their investment to Igbo land so that other tribe will start to respect us, if not the next chief will still come and beg Nigeria to allow Igbo to leave with them
I don’t think Igbos or any other ethnic group in Nigeria had a say as per Location of Capital as this was established by the Colonizers.
You don't know what you are talking no matter stupid people are the still say their mind.
Lagos was a separate colonial possession before the British conquered the SW, SE and North.
LOLz .... your name says a lot about your views ..... baseless!!
My brother tell them I,Lagos has been separate and unique b4 the creation of Nigeria self
Gedegbe ni eko wa@@sulaak
Apart from Lagos Lagos which was a former Capital and every other tribes developed it... Can any Yoruba man say or talk of any other state developed by their effort as a tribe... Is it Ogun that is next to Lagos Lagos Lagos but still lacking or Osun or call the developed states Yorubas developed... When you see a tribe doing great respect and learn from them and not hate in every way... This tribal hate is too much that is the reason Nigeria so sick... If the Igbos should be on their own they will be a great country as the world can see and tell just like it is said "Anywhere you go in the world and don't find an Igbo man, leave"... That alone tell you the Igbos are free minded people they can relate, trade and marry from any tribe or country in the world... Respect to the Igbos 🦁
Nigeria is not one and will never be one and the sooner we understand it the better we will become
Using capital as an excuse is not an excuse, capital can be moved to any state, will you be going to every state while you leave your state unattended to, your home is your home, if you fail to develop your home, and you keep moving from capital to capital, then that is the problem you caused yourself, if you have the capacity to contribute to development, then use it first for your state, you do not complain when you are facing the punishment of your failure to make your state worth living for your people,
Which of Igbo state are not wath living
Nigeria is a federal republic. This is a sentimental opinion without any reasonable backing. Anybody has any right to live anywhere in Nigeria.
Apart from Lagos state which was Capital which other south west state is better than south east
The federal government should construct seaport in South South or renovate and make the old one in South South functioner and watch Igbos and other tribes move out of Lagos.
Thank you
Chief please stop this pleading every time. Enough of this.
Old men dont talk and reason like kids.
Did you hear him plead? He is stating facts!
The right thing now is not to ask Nigeria or other tribes to allow the Igbos to do business in Lagos. It is pandering to the whims and caprices of those jealous never-do-wells who will never change their hating attitude. What should be done now is to increase the tempo of moving Igbo businesses to Igboland.
I just don't like the constant appearance of Mr iwuanyawu on arise tv talk about the demolition. You have done that enough...please stop . Let the people learn and stop building mansions in lagos
If he does, he will be attacked by the same people troubling Igbos. He will be called all sorts of names.
Don't they have sense?
May be greed.
In even a swap area that they can't even build if it's in East
No it's not enough...Our people need to be reminded of this everytime

Igbos it's time to come back home... this man it's time you tell the truth and Mazi Nnamdi Kanu should be released.
Mr. President General. What happened under General Aguiyi Ironsi. The problem Nigeria is going through right now starts under the Ibo general who usurped the power of the regional government and concentrated it under federal government. The west was vastly developed under Awolowo compared to other regions in the country.
Even if he did so did he consult the Igbo tribe and got their approval to centralize the government ? Must we dwell on that forever ? Can't mistakes be corrected after almost 60 years ? America fought a civil war and moved on as one country without victimizing the secessionist southern states..
Chief Sir, you have spoken wisely Sir
Don't you think that we should get out of Nigeria, we have what it takes to be a country biafra is our answers.
iwuanyanwu should continue the preaching while he also advices igbos to take their development to their region.igbos would never be treated as equal citizen in nigeria. the earlier igbos and their elites acknowledge the realities in the country the better for all and sundry.
Don't be surprised that the excavator used for the demolition belongs to an Igbo man, Igbo race needs to ask their chi some questions by now.
May God have mercy on the Igbos.
Oga, is it only Igbos strutures that are being demolished in. Lagos ?😊
Also make sure you solve the issue of division of S/East and S/South that was mischievously plotted to destabilized the Family of Eastern Region and bring the Family back more strongly and formidable under one umbrella. And by extension the entire Southerners must as a matter of urgency strengthening their unity for their protection, survival, development and progress
The Igbos are our family and we love them with their entrepreneur spirit but there's a serious problems we are not addressing. For many years now Lagos is no longer a capital but still remain the financial hub with the ports. The Yorubas are very accommodating allowing their brothers to settle peacefully even though Lagos is no longer capital. The Igbos are now claiming that Lagos is no mans land where by disrespecting their host. They did this in South Africa, Ghana, Kenya etc. Please my Igbo family learn to respect your host so that they can live in harmony with you. All buildings demolished in Lagos must be compensated. The Igbos in Lagos in 1966 were not very many and they managed to return home during the British war on Biafra land between 67 and 70 and today they're all confused as to the roads leading to their ancestors houses. Please kill your poor spirit of domination, respect and live peacefully with your other ethnic brothers and sisters. Refrain from aggression because you're a long way from your ancestors home. Let's live in love and not in hate and foolish arrogant. God bless you all.
Grate igbo man with wisdom
Well spoken sir ones more.
Bravo 👏 Sir Iwuanyawu
We don hear Mr Iwuanyawu..
Owerre de Booooom now. Aba de Booooom Enugu, Onitsha,Abakele,Orlu,Awka, Nsukka,Okigwe,Afikpo,all de Booooom Booooom.
IGBOS should go back and listen to Shettima's evil plan caught on a telephone conversation with his Yoruba friend. Enough is enough bikonu
I see wisdoms in his speech i suggest for both we the young and the old that every region should be treated fairly and be given equal opportunity to thrive we should stop all this hatred and propaganda of hate at all level. God bless Igbo and Nigerians as a whole.
Yes we will begin to give you a maximum respect once you continue to speak and act as a father who has the OBLIGATION and RESPONSIBILITY to protect his children. And what you must do now is to rally your governors and charge them with a task to get MNK released with immediate effect.
It’s time to develop Biafra, we can’t continue to beg for our rights. Ndi Igbo must now think Biafra all the way
Initial it was the fulani in the north now yoruba in the south. Go home brothers. Go back home brothers.
East or west,home is the best..If Igbos have ears to hear,let them hear!.."First fool no be fool,second fool,na proper foolish!.
Igbos wake up lienigeria is never for us stop deceiving yourselves wake up and fight for your freedom #BiafraExit #BiafraSelfReferendum2024
Lagos being made capital wasn't up for discussion with any ethnic group, let alone Igbos!
Opposing Lagos being made capital wasnt the preserve of anyone!
The British arranged it all!!
👊🏾🇳🇬👊🏾🇳🇬!!
We’re not Nigerian , we are Biafran’s we must go one day and leave Nigeria for them, we’ll develop our S/E in less than no time, I guess Abia is taking a step
What have the governors, senators, reps, ministers, etc from Igbo extractions done to better the lot of the Igbo people in the IGBO LAND? Were they appointed by people from other tribes? Even if the igbo people go their way, what difference will it make? It will remain under developed. It's a black man curse.
Mr Emmanuel. N, in your tenure as leader of the Ndigbo or Igbo leader, if actually you engage in developing Igbo--land, that will be a credit to you and eventually brings challenge to all the six geopolitical zone to develop their zone.
Is he a political leader? Did you give him governmental powers or Appropriation from budget? Ohaneze is a socio cultural umbrella
I think we should stop this issue of people hate igbos. We have bad people in all tribes. We have many good Igbos, Hausas and Yorubas.
Some might be bad but that does not describe all.
I have been insulted and attacked by igbos here because i said Nigeria will work and that we should all come together against these satanic politicians dividing us.
Meanwhile, many more Igbo agreed with my position that we are all victims of these greedy politicians.
No matter what anyone says, i will never hate any race or tribe. I've helped and received help from Hausa, Igbo and Yoruba.
Nigeria will work. We need to come together.
Lagos state government should also be careful on this matter of demolition. We must be fair to all.
God bless you sir . Our issues are beyond tribe . Satanic politicians use tribe to keep the poor down . The old man is making a lot of sense .
Oga go and get some few IGBOs together we need just one Seeport...is already in Abia state,fix it and stop all this Lagos or No Lagos...
We igbos don't beg. Iwuanyawu and his follow corrupt fellows are begging because of their corruption cases. Continue begging for your family not igbos. Remember igbo ewe gi eze. You have been talking talking talking no action. Ezeife is gone after talking talking talking without any action, u and ur cohorts have started from were Ezeife stopped tufiakwa unu. Men without balls.
Chief why are you not complaining about the demolitions in Anambra state?
We are not pretending we know why the Lagos one was done. There is no pretense here the whole know. If you claim it's not ethnic who amongst your leaders said spoke about it. The whole world knows this because social media has amplified it. It will manifest soon in 5 or 6 years to come. You will notice the impact of the tribalism in Lagos. You think other parts of Africa and the rest of the world don't know who is ethnic. You will find out soon the disadvantages of that action. People need to be careful in these days of social media.
You are appealing! Ohaneze wake up! Ohaneze wake up!
I had full understanding of why people hate successful people out of jealousy, the moment i stepped up my games even among my peers, the jealousy rose to a great height.
My take is simple keep soaring never take no for an answer. For me money on my mind.
Who approved the said unauthorized site? Is it not the same state government?
Thank u Chief for speaking up notwithstanding…….

@Adeniyi3884 Take note that it doesn't mean we won't live in places we currently reside so you don't rejoice too much. I know most of you are daft. If people can live in diaspora, then nothing stops Igbos from residing in parts of old Nigerian Republic if they wish.
Igbos have moved beyond Iwuanyawu's assertion. The challenge before the Igbos now is to unite and forge ahead, Nigeria is irredeemable.
Igbos should as a matter or urgency withdraw their investments from Lagos in totality. And stop buying any damn land that will be taken away from you tomorrow plus demolition of your businesses.
Withdraw it to where? And how can they feed? It takes please don't talk like a big fool.
Well said about the unification of the south, middle belt and hopefully please take the core north along as we are one family irrespective of whts their hopeless politicians are saying
Please deh iwuanyawu it's better to tell them to locate back south east,, even tomorrow they'll still looking where to buy and build.
Sir, I understand you want to sound like the broken record of OneNigeria. But how can that truly be, despite the intentional hatred and despise of our people. Why must we be the only ones shouting OneNigeria, but we are the only ones that is marginalized, mistreated, hated, and pushed out of lands in Nigeria. Please, let our people come home, let's develop our land. Let the useless Nigeria collapse, we do not care. Help our richmen understand that no where is better in Nigeria than home. Get them together to build seaports, power plants etc and see our land grow fast into Dubai. God punish Nigeria
You cannot tell a people to stop exercising their rights while others are free to do same. Igbos must fight for their rights.
I have always said to my Igbo brothers, do not build in Lagos. Start all the way from Delta down to Cross River state. We are safe in the South South and South East.
