@op. Food don set for E-tribal warriors.

ibrahimdoc:


But what is your own view, please don't be sentimental..

kettykings:
A large percentage of the population of Lagos leaving Lagos would result in diminishing returns for all businesses but Lagos would recover as more northerners and middle belters come to fill the gap

shogz89:
many tribes are leaving in lagos, one tribe leaving doesn't really mean it's a large percentage

ibrahimdoc:
If the igbos happen to get their Biafra, how is it going to affect the economy of lagos? being the highest importer in the country and are paying the highest tax in custom duty, how will this affect the lagos Economy? Some yorubas say they won't feel it, while the igbos say that lagos will be like a grave yard..For me, I think Lagos will feel it in no small measure...The reason multi national companies troop into lagos is because of the population and when lagos is suddenly cut into almost half, what do you think that will happen? Your unbiased contribution will be appreciated..

Ugomba:
Igbos are very important in the Lagos economy.. In terms of Importing and Exporting in the ports, Tax paying, SME Controlling, their Industries and Companies in terms of Job creations, Businesses, Market Controlling..
The Igbo Enterprenuers should consider my Asaba for investments..

Another key thing to note also is that the economic survival of Lagos would further depend on the attitude of the Yoruba to the remaining ethnic groups and the few remaining Igbo, as well as if another Republic arises from the Niger Delta or if the ethnic groups in said Niger Delta elect to leave with Ndigbo! If words gets around that -for whatever reason- the locals are intolerant, then this would further exacerbate the issue for Lagos and coastal cities in the Niger Delta would further benefit!

OfoIgbo:
I doubt the establishment of Biafra will cause Igbos to leave Lagos. They will however, be seen as foreigners living in another country, so Lagos is definitely safe from these gloomy economic predictions.

However, if to spite the Igbos, the Yoruba authorities cause the Igbos to leave Lagos
1. It will cause an accelerated response in the establishment of up to 3 seaports in Biafra most probably at Calabar, Akwaibom, and Porthacourt and possibly one at Bayelsa and inland one at Oguta lake
2.More Igbo Lagosians will relocate to Biafra taking advantage of the influx of people to establish businesses with ready made customers
3. Oil and gas being piped from Biafra to Lagos will seize overnight
4.The depletion of innovative and business minded, tax-paying Igbos with disposable cash from Lagos will drastically reduce the business-friendliness of Lagos.
5. Lagos will take in a horde of less skilled and extremely dependent individuals from the North, thus causing immense stress to Lagos finances and her ability to maintain amenities e.t.c.

obailala:
Do not be misled by what you see and read online, no comfortable Igbo man is willing to risk his massive investments scattered all over Nigeria for a secession today.

The present agitators for Biafra today are mainly the Igbos from the lowest cadre of society, i.e. the never-do-wells and students who are still spoon-fed by their parents.

Even with what's happening in Borno today, we still have thousands of Igbos who reside there. No matter what happens in Nigeria today, the Igbos are not leaving Lagos for anywhere.

9jii:

If leaving is even tiny possible igbos will have left since.
the rest of Nigerians will bless will the opportunity of replacing all your legal biz.

What will happen to the Igbos for losing their market?
More than 70% of their imports finds its way to the rest of Nigeria.

Igbos leaving will only bring an opportunity to many nigerians into expanding their import and export biz.

zuchyblink:
most non-igbos don't have the capacity to compete with igbos in business

honourhim:
Even before Biafra comes, the recent commissioning of the Warri seaport has already dealt a heavy blow on Lagos. Already igbo importers have started shipping thru Warri and are very happy about it while still waiting for Onitsha port to be completed.
