Where did you see hate words there if I may ask na fashola build all this buildings? 90 percent of the buildings have been there before Tinubu administration can't you see they are private buildings from companies in lagos if you can kindly go through my comments on this thread you will see where I educate the other guy about the reason why I said its not far from the truth, mind you lagos is a metropolitan city. Try to comprehend and think before typing to avoid this type of unintelligent comment

As if you dont know that Lagos was capital territory until 1990. All federal roads and and federal high rise building and thiose long bridges where built by federal govt with oil money from Uche's SE. and mind you Alaba Market was a thick forest when igbo we sent there to do business after the war. Alaba is what it is today by pure power of uche's enterprise. Respect the hand that feed you and still feeds u monthly!!!

When I talk of them being tenants did I mention Igbos? Can't they be tenants to a yoruba man from another state? Or hausa man or Igbo man even ijaw man, tiv man etc so where is the chest beating? I still insist on my comment, aboriginals that are at estimated two millions will all be rich and can afford to own properties? The ones you know are few out of majority and please when you want to argue with me act matured and stop using abusive words to address me. Thanks
Whether you like it or not, the Awori are Yoruba. The Awori were actually from Ife the cradle of YorubalandSo It is of no concern to you if a Yoruba man is a tenant to a fellow Yoruba man. You brag about anything that has to do with lands WTF! When has it become a crime to buy lands. Aren't Yoruba's owners of lands in PH, Enugu and Abuja? Aren't Bini's owners of lands in Warri and Lagos? And Hausas with mansions in Lagos and PH and yet nobody cries about it except our flat head, empty-chest beating brothers who obsess 24/7 with how many lands they bought after leaving their village. Only people with low mentality does that.

lol stop ranting you hear Igbos can afford to boost because of their contributions in lagos which you are aware of that, we beat our chest because we know what we are capable of and the records are there, the Yoruba owner of mansions in Enugu, PH and Abuja are they the majority land and property owners? The answer is no so they have no say in those cities so you shall not expect to hear their voice.

story for the gods. Please tell me exactly your contributions in Lagos that other regions have not contributed. Which corporate social responsibility has your region done in Lagos. Please mention the hospitals, schools, universities, borehole and other amenities that Igbos have done in Lagos. You re only in Lagos to make ends meet and you pay tax to the government just like any other person or organization. You all claim to be mansion owners on Nairaland but the recent picture splash by the odua insurgents revealed you guys has low lifers who only has spare part shop, okrika market and cafe in Lagos. The big guns in Lagos like Dangote don't make noise about it. Show us pictures if your mansion and other properties in Lagos. Nonsense!

The truth is for Lagos to maintain its cosmopolitan status -a prime ctiteriion to attractin investors,structural beauty and global fame- it must remain NO MAN'S LAND as it has always been since Oba Kosoko ceded prime heartland to the British else we might have a set back up to massive proliferation of brown roof boroughs and slums like Ibadam,Oshogbo and Abeokuta..
U people that are always going on about brown roofs in Ibadan and osogbo, u telling me there are no houses with brown roofs in Aba, Onitsha, Enugu and nnewi? Even if Ibadan and Osogbo have plenty of houses with brown roofs, why do they have more economic immigrants from the east than there are western or northern immigrants in Aba, Onitsha and Nnewi?

Lagos

When I first visited Lagos in search for greener pasture.... I actually caused Lagos everyday I stepped out.

But now ehn, if I get an offer of 700,000 NGN monthly here in Lagos to another offer in my previous state (Warri), maybe 1,000,000 NGN.... Omo, its still going to be Lagos any day any time o.

Lagos is filled with everything (everyday drama from commuters, etc).

THE BEST PLACE TO STAY IN LAGOS IS MAINLAND.
wow that's nice to know. what specifically made you fall in love with Lagos? I've been in Lagos for over 3 years now; I've tried my best to "enjoy" the way most lagosians claim they are, but naaaa....the stress levels in that town isn't worth it. you literally struggle for everything; things people take for granted in other parts of the country are a privilege to an average lagosian.

Your question is as stupid as asking a Londoner what he's contributed to Lagos cos many Lagosians own businesses in London. What incentive does any Londoner have to leave his peaceful and prosperous life and come to Nigerian to do anything?
The South west is peaceful and economically richer than other regions in Nigeria. There is no incentive for any westerner to run to the east for anything, except he wants to be kidnapped or duped.
That's why economic migrants like yourself can come here and brag about being successful.

Is it not MORE important to compare

- the minimum wage of N18,000 [actually N10,000 to the 'empowered' street sweepers] to Lagos LGA chairman's salary versus the minimum wage in London compared to Mayor Boris' salary.
- the % of Lagos children who cannot go to school [PUBLIC or private] versus London children who cannot.
- how many Lagos households and businesses do not have TAP water compared to those without water in London.
- how many mansions, houses, business premises do not have a good FEEDER road [state & LGA responsibility] in front of them versus London.

That is what a rational person who is not clueless would do to understand why Lagosians and yorubas prefer to get stuck in London than stay in Lagos despite its few 'wow' physical infrastructure that is not complemented by HUMAN capital development.

For how much longer shall we remain FOOLISH
My heart bleeds when I see people posting pictures of few structures built by stolen money that was supposed to provide BASIC infrastructures for them. A city that the educational system is in shambles, feeder road networks are horrible and very poor access to portable water.
We need to start holding government at all levels responsible for allocations
