Nonsense comment!

So, you think Olubadan would say anything pleasing to your ears and not mean it? You overrate yourself

Have you seen or met Igbos in other SW states aside Lagos?

You'd never even know they arent Yoruba. They've so much integrated seamlessly into the people that by default, no one walks about thinking the other guys isnt part of them. Really commendable

Its just contributions and other tribes aside Igbos are doing that too.

If Igbos get a special mention, its because their numbers trump the other tribe by far(being a major tribe) and thats fine

No state or province in the world is solely built by the indigenes. Thats a fact

Pardon my assertions, but we Igbo have learned never to trust Yoruba because not even Yoruba trusts Yoruba. Hopefully, it'll get better.
