Imagining Lagos Without The Igbo
The Igbo and the Yoruba are good neighbors in Lagos. They have always been. The Igbo are the only people in Nigeria who speak more than one native Nigerian language.
Everyone must be horrified by the assault on the senses as hack writers in the Nigerian Media and Government put out a false narrative on what the entire world saw happen at the Lekki Toll Gate on the 20th of October.
