Emenike says Igbos in trouble - Super Eagles legend laments Lagos House demolition

Super Eagles of Nigeria legend Emmanuel Emenike is back on the social media trends.

The veteran striker is trending on social media following his latest revelation.

As they saw the Lagos state government bulldoze their properties, several homeowners in Lagos cried out in agony, and their cries reverberated throughout the city.

The area's ongoing problems with erosion and flooding were blamed for this dramatic action.

Emenike is ferociously advising the distressed Igbo citizens to flee back home and plant the seeds of their investments there following the actions of Governor Babajide Sanwo-olu's leadership.

The former Nigerian player ignited social media with a scathing criticism of the Lagos State government.

He claims that despite the state's Igbo people having the government's approval when they built the foundation for these multimillion dollar aspirations, they have demolished their properties.

Emenike is making a scene over the administration of Lagos State's bulldozer blitz, which has left several Igbo citizens in the state completely stranded.

The Lagos State government started demolishing unauthorized buildings on canals and waterways along the Gedegede-Mobil route, Megamound Estate, and Ikota drainage systems last week.

The demolition effort was necessary, according to the Ministry of the Environment and Water Resources, in order to stop the environment's ongoing erosion and floods.

During the demolition activity controlled by the Operatives Ministry of the Environment and Water Resources, multimillion naira worth of properties were demolished.

Emenike conveyed his tremendous empathy for the extreme pain felt by the affected people by replying passionately and posting a graphic snapshot of the destroyed property on his Instagram story.

He claimed that the Lagos State Government, which finally destroyed their properties, had given them clearance.

He offered Igbo people advice to repatriate their money to the security of their eastern roots.

He specifically mentions states like Abia, Imo, Anambra, Enugu, and Ebonyi as safe locations out of genuine care for his fellow Igbo people should invest.

He wrote, “The sadness is too much after getting approval from the same Lagos state government, this is pure wickedness.

“Igbos are in trouble, bring your investment back home my people we have, Abia state, Imo state, Anambra state, Enugu state, and Ebonyi state.”

The comments by Emenike have now gone viral on social media.
