His Royal Majesty, Eze Emma Saint George Ekeh, has lambasted Ndigbo for investing outside Igbo land, by developing Lagos, Abuja etc, describing them as being foolish.
The Monarch said that Ndigbo have been stupid for a long time, the Yoruba have told us at the last event in a well packaged language that you guys are foolish, go home. And I keep telling Ndigbo that the land God created you in, knowing the industry He has put in you, should be more productive than the land you bought from somebody else
Ndigbo should look at the Yoruba, in Yoruba land, any Yoruba man that is up to the age of 60, 70, 80 years begins to go to the village they only come to Lagos when they want to collect their dividend or come to visit their grandchildren. When they go home, they attend village meetings.
If you leave the decisions to be taken by clowns, charlatans, that is what they will implement. Cockroaches will inhabit the mansions you have built.
I told the elite some time ago that if they don’t behave themselves, they will be in exile and those mansions will be occupied by rats and cockroaches, unfortunately that is what is happening today.
Ndigbo need to know that they have been foolish, i owe them no apology for saying this, how can you claim to be better placed than the owner of the land where you are doing business?
If the Governor tomorrow comes up and says every house here must pay N500m a year, if you don’t pay they will confiscate the house, they will take the N500m from both the Yoruba and Igbo and return the benefits to the Yoruba through their village meetings and all that. Where does that keep you?
In the first place, why must the Igbos keep saying ‘are we going to go to the village?, whether it is Owerri, Orlu, Nsukka etc? Why don’t you go home to a mega city?
We built Abuja and we are so proud we own more number of houses in Abuja, We say it without shame, We have built Lagos, developed Lagos and they look at you and laugh. You don’t know how much you have poured into the Lagos project. The day they don’t want you, there is nothing you can do about it.
