Yoruba pathological liar at work....Historically, the Model market was
reportedly started by some Yoruba traders about 40 years ago but due to the relocation challenges being
faced by Ikeja GSM village, some Igbo GSM traders were said to have run
to Olugbede Model market for succor and were received with open arms but
gradually, the ‘visitors’ were said to have increased in number and
dominated every sphere of the market. Look at how ridiculous your
narrative sounds.Igbos dominated every sphere because of relocation
challenges Yorubas were facing? Were it not your kit and kin who
collected money and rented/sold their shops to them? Useless, Lazy South
Waste Journalist with Lagos-Ibadan-expressway non-investigative
Journalism mentality.

Mechie onu! Shut up! Your fellow Yorubas know how to shout 'one Nigeria' but don't know how to practice it. I have news for you. Since you Yorubas want one Nigeria, you will get it Igbo style. There is nothing like Yoruba land, what we have is Nigeria and who owns what. I'm an Igbo man, one day, I may buy the palace of the Alafin of Oyo. And when I do, I'm going to fly a Biafran flag on top of it so that we all can enjoy one Nigeria together

This report is what I call junk journalism

Where the igbos given shops for free..so the term allocated should not be used

What it the role of iya Loja
Why can't there be election

Why must iya Loja be an issue ...the Igbo do not understand the term iyaloja and they will not understand why an old woman with fat butts sits at one corner doing absolutely nothing will be collecting levies while people prostate giving it to her

I think in all honesty there are things that should be jettisoned and one of them is this iyaloja mentality

If the red Indians maintained their archaic culture there won't be new York

If the Emiratis had maintained their desrt nomadic culture we all won't troop to Dubai

I think the average black man has challenges with growth and the ability to think out of the box

Nations are begging people to come do businesses in their land some are busy formeting trouble with this iyaloja and omonile attitude

For heavens sake this is ICT period not Oyo dynasty nor Igbo ukwu kingdom

The black man must grow ...the black man must stop been laughed at by other races

Can somebody tell me the wholesome and value the iyaloja brings

Muslims don't take alcohol but the Emiratis understand that they need foreign money they forgot that and today in Dubai you can club and drink fine cocktail of cognac and vodka...that is how people should reason

Which one is more important

Is it the iyaloja thing or economic booming of the area

These are some of the dividents of radio biafra. Igbos know very well that they have thrived in urban and rural nooks and crannies of Nigeria by establishing a micro retail chain. This is only possible through peaceful coexistence which helped in relationship bonding in form of marriages, friendship and even property acquisition with the host communities.

The kind of danger this recent Jonathan's politics and its birth child radio biafra is putting Igbos will be unimaginable when the threshold is reached. Igbo elders should as a matter of urgency call the ignorant Nnamdi Kanu to order or we might wake up one day to read that 10million Igbos have been killed by a gang up of every other ethnic group in Nigeria.

Junk journalism
Lagos was what Abuja is to Nigeria today.
If Lagos does have indigenous identity, why would Tinubu and his loyalist control everything in Lagos?
Has any non-indigene govern Ogun, Osun, Ekiti, Oyo, Ondo states?
The struggle for market leadership should not bear any indigenous fiber
Pullback your filthy ethnic pen, let traders and business people chose their leaders.

The reportage is not balanced rather one-sided. l am Igbo, born and raised in Lagos but would not gloss over the truth that Lagos is ancestrally owned by the Yorubas because my father bought plots of lands way back in the 70's from a Yoruba family and not from any other tribe. Lagos is not a no-man's land but a land that has accommodated everybody.

The writer of this article will die a horrible death if this nonsense He/She has written,spirals into a serious conflict and it claims lives. This is an area I know very well and no form of violence occurred there recently(to the best of my knowledge). The picture of people carrying sticks and potraying violent acts,isn't a picture of the said neighbourhood;why put that up? The market is made up of both the yorubas,ibos and hausas,which each tribe selling what they know best.

What do people gain by magnifying an issue and blowing it out of proportion? The pattern of reporting is even so one-sided and utterly biased. I weep for Nigeria;this country is being destroyed on a daily basis due to the stupidity of a few people.

When you sell or rent your shop, house or space, you collect money which you use to solve your other problems. You have not done anybody any favour. You have not 'accommodated' any one. You merely engaged in a business venture. And, I'm certain that, wherever those traders are seen, they 'paid' for it; not dash, not government largese. We are getting more enlightened in Nigeria. So, journalists, like this reporter should be better trained.

cool The amala-eaters are seeing what the abokis have seen a long time ago, namely the akpu-eating flattheads are not to be trusted. Give them an inch they take a mile, give them a yard, they take a mile. Biafra will not come until the amala-eaters uproot those flattheads from Lagos. Until you deal with the chestbeaters they will never recognize how to show respect to others. Go to Kano now and see how nice and humble these flattheads have become. They will beating their chests until aboki started macheting them one by one. In Kano (and the North in general), you see the flattheads going about their business with humility and very little chestbeating(if any at all)- they dare not try any stupid nonsense.

Haven't said all these, lets not forget that the amala eaters and the akpu-eating flattheads are both a nuisance that need to shut up or go away.

Whoever wrote this s1lly shiiiit is actually looking to start a tribal war in that area. The reportage is not only biased but filled with ethnic and tribal sentiments and bigotry.

Anyway, if the market is dominated by even 60% igbos it's fair to have an Igbo market leader should be an Igbo because if you go by election, it will always be Igbo. Market leader being igbo does not stop revenue collection by the government. This idea of imposing leaders in markets is what is fuelling this ethnic divide in the south. The writer is this article clearly doesn't want unity between yorubas and the igbos.

Indeed you can find Igbos in almost every nook and cranny of Nigeria peacefully building and establishing business empires, and growing the economy of the locals and that of the country at large. No other tribe or ethnic group can be said to have exhibited such 'Nigerianness'. Is there any?

In the history of Nigeria there is virtually no occasion in which Igbos have gone on rampage, killing people and destroying means of livelihoods for no just cause. If you've heard or seen any of such display of hatred and carnage feel free to dispute that fact.

It's wrong to subtly allude to the saying that the 'host' is accommodating anyone when in reality the 'host' never offered the said lands to the 'visitor' for free or feeds the 'visitor'. The 'visitor' pays taxes and rents, sometimes multiple times.

Don't be the ignorant one by engaging in unnecessary diversionary tactics and joining dissimilar issues. That can't be the way out of a troubled situation.

You maybe bitter with NK but the truth is you can't do anything about his IPOB or RB.
You've only succeeded in proving the axiom that every strong position attracts opposition!

As per 10 million Igbos being killed by a gang up of other ethnic group in Nigeria, that can only exist in your fantasy, Biafra or no Biafra.
Never again shall the blood of Biafrans be wasted on the dirty streets of Nigeria in vain!

It's honourable to be sincere and objective in contributing to a national discourse.
