Dear immature Peter
@PeterPsquare,
βEven a fool, when he keeps silent, is considered wiseβ¦β β Proverbs 17:28.
Sadly, some people hear that scripture and still decide to audition for public embarrassment.
βI made it in your so called Lagosβ is not the powerful statement you think it is. It is actually a confession that opportunities had to be sought elsewhere because your own region is cures and could not provide the environment for your dreams and destinies to thrive. That is not an insult to the man you quoted; it is a challenge to your leaders and your priorities.
But instead of asking hard questions about development, infrastructure, investment, and security in your homeland, you people turn migration into a trophy and expect applause for it. Every serious society wants its sons and daughters to build back home too, not abandon it completely while emotionally blackmailing the places giving them opportunities.
And please, spare us the emotional gymnastics. Successful Yoruba celebrities proudly live, invest, and raise families in their ancestral land because Lagos is home to them culturally and historically. That is normal. Have your children stayed in Anambra for six months, the state you come from?. The real conversation should be: why do many wealthy businessmen from your side concentrate investments elsewhere while treating home mainly as a Christmas destination?
That is not hatred. That is a developmental question.
You cannot keepp behaving immature anytime uncomfortable truths are mentioned. If your brightest minds, biggest investors, and biggest celebrities overwhelmingly build outside their homeland, people are allowed to ask why.
And Peter, saying βI made it in your so called Lagosβ is not an achievement badge against Yorubas. It is an insult to your tribe and land. Lagos has made people from every tribe successful because it is economically functional and accommodating. The better response should be gratitude and reflection, not chest-thumping and insults.
At the end of the day, a peopleβs greatest pride should not be how well they escaped home, but how well they transformed it.
I made it in your so called lagos! But you are still f*cking broke in your so called lagos! ππ€£ππ€£ abi dem forbid una to make am for lagosππ€£ππ€£ ndi ala π€§π€§π€§π€£
