Pls don't compare Lagos with Uyo

harde2lah:

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!

Ucheosefoh:
bla bla bla bla if any of you guys can't list the yorubas contributions outside yorubaland all you are saying is stories for the gods. Come again you can do better than this.

Lol its like you don't understand. I have no business contributing anything to your place, i am very comfortable where i am. Unlike you that has to travel several miles and cross the Niger so you can enjoy the luxuries in the west. Only people who want to be kidnapped or duped will go and contribute anything in the east.

JustCurious:
I took this picture, yesterday in Lagos.

Modified: I can't see the picture uploaded, yet... don't know if it's my phone. :/

Modified: Fixed.

Ucheosefoh:
Igbos came to the west en mass after the civil war because of the destruction of Igboland they came they saw and the conquer Igboland is not the only place in Nigeria we have states like Kano, Kaduna, Rivers, Delta, EDO etc. So what contributions has yorubas made there? BROS I don't want to go to nairaland archives to uproot the kidnapping, molestation, and ritual stories happening in yorubaland. I wonder why you guys have not list any contributions but I understand cus their is none

Jarus:


All these cities in other countries also have ghettos.

Okay, let's agree with you and say Ikoyi/Island City.

Olayinka8793:
so u don disown your state of origin in igboland abi?

hardbody:


No be swear but satelite is so water logged and the roads are so terrible that the area will never get any better. It was fine before you left because traffic and volume of humans was less, today Lagos grows in leaps and bounds and things ever continue to deteriorate in the light of no infrastructure to support the influx of people.

vizkiz:
still waiting for pictures of some other parts of Lagos I.e
Mile-12

Oshodi

Mushin
Ajegunle

Ikorodu garage

Come on fellas aren't we proud of these places??

canalily:
..pls can i get enlightend from you...pls?

You obviously don't know what Makoko, the floating slum is inspiring for Lagos. That community is a big share of the future of Lagos. If you know the plans the architect that built the floating school made up from the slum, it would kill you. Google more on the African Water Cities Project (http://www.news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2013/03/a-vision-of-floating-cities/)
Also, every city on earth has its fair share of slums. Even the best of them, so what is the big deal?
And to those of you shouting that the city is no man's land, or that it is the Igbo's that brought civilization to Lagos, you're so wrong. Lagos is a modernist Yoruba city where lots of her Yoruba owners have worked progressively overtime to contribute to its present status.
You need to know that it's a big priviledge to have early contact with civilization, and to hold on to knowledge. That is the strenght of the yoruba tribe and indeed, Lagos.

duni04:

Of course there is none. Am I mad? Why would I leave my comfortable life in Lagos to go and get kidnapped in the slums of Onitsha. Thank God, you finally get it!

Ucheosefoh:
lol many Igbos have mansions and businesses in lagos the likes of Cocharis, Capital oil, Young shall grow motors and group of companies which includes hotels etc, Kenedilichukwu transport company, ABC transport, to mention a few have their headquarters in Lagos even okrika sellers, spare parts sellers in ladipo, electronics sellers in Alaba top Igbo entertainers, and top Igbo executives in big companies have made huge significant contributions in the economy of lagos so they have a say in lagos affairs. List the yorubas contributions to other cities outside yorubaland.

Ucheosefoh:
Off point, is lagos the only yoruba city? Because you guys keep on mentioning it many kidnap cases have been reported in yorubaland not excluding rape and ritual cases I can't remember the last time I read report of kidnap case in Onitsha. Lagos is one of the biggest slums in the world so its not only onitsha that has slums. Many yoruba guys are in Onitsha which I have some as friends. I mention other none Igbo states why are you avoiding it by not listing yoruba contributions in those states economy, like you said the answer is none.

duni04:

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?

scantee:


Ya no doubt Lagos is beautiful especially those island-Ikoyi areas, but you need visit ago palace, I went there yesterday to see a friend I was like Gush what exactly is the chairman of Isolo LGA doing? the whole roads condition is unmentionable.
