Very hard situation because Lagos State government cannot LEGALLY, provide assistance to those who are building houses in Lagos ILLEGALLY. (if you know what i mean)

I think its the Federal governement's obligation to relieve Lagos' popualtion density by allocating land and setting up more industrial means of production or agriculture OUTSIDE Lagos. Where cost of living is cheaper

These people should leave Lagos if they can't afford it

Mind you Lagos State Government was being generous by even letting them build slums in the first place. If it were UK or America they would knock them down immediately and evict everyone who doesn't have proper documents for housing.

Don't sound like Goebbels!
One thing you must remember is that some of the people in those slums are from the Niger Delta. I know you guys have been saying on another thread that Lagos will declare independence. But until then, you must realise that the Niger Delta feeds you, be careful about your suggestions.

"Federal governement's obligation" ke! That translates as oil money from the Niger Delta.

Mine too.
Where's is that OBJ census figure that showed Lagos was less populated than Kano? Another shame!

your still not making sense i never said Lagos will declare indepence!!!!

What I suggested should be done with FG money was to build homes and jobs in the delta, so you wont flock to Lagos making slums!!! What is your point

growing at the speed of light, into eternity.

All you Yorubas should stop whining and deal face to face with the ugly situation that you collaborated with the awusas to cause and still causing till this day. In your bid to contain the Igbos and made them to leave their land and migrate to yours in mass in other for them to forget about the creation of Biafra in place for nigeria, what you got is over population of your beloved Lagos and soon Abuja will follow suit in the same complain, and i mean very soon.

You Yorubas should stop being hypocrites by claiming not to know the actual reason why Lagos population is exploding. It is simple, the need for nigeria whom you are helping to contain Igbos because of fear of creation of Biafra. It is a fact today that Lagos population exploded/ is exploding mainly because of Igbo's immigration from their Igbo areas to Lagos. It is pure fact that Igbos alone make up about 50% of Lagos population today, and if their is no adequate and sincere plan to curb the influx of Igbos into Lagos, then within the next 10 years, be sure that Igbos would have become about 70% of all people in Lagos.

Fact is that you can never stop an Igbo person from seeking for, exploring and sticking to where there are better amenities for his or her business which sustains his/her life than what he/she obtains in his/her own area. An average Igbo person is ambitious and always aims higher and in so doing, always look beyond his area to utilize what ever will be much easier for him to use in attaining more heights than he or she use to be. You want to curb the influx of people/Igbos into Lagos and also spark mass emigration of people/Igbos from Lagos? Okay, here's what to do. You hypocrites pretends not to know, but i must remind you.

FIRST OF ALL, THE MASS IMMIGRATION OF IGBOS TO LAGOS IS NOT BY CHOICE, BUT WAS BORN OUT OF NECESSITY.

Begin with international airport either at Owerri, Onitsha or Enugu where Igbo people can fly into from anywhere abroad. What is the need for every Igbo person to fly into Yoruba or awusa territory first, before traveling by road or by air again back to his home land.  A forced wish due to the nigerians need to contain the Igbos because of the fear of emergence of Biafra. Again, why must i, an Igbo man fly from New York to Lagos or to Abuja, but not direct to Owerri, Enugu or Onitsha? This done will help and ease your so much talked about congestion at MM airport  Lagos.

Then a gigantic sea port at Onitsha, where Igbos can be able to directly import all their goods/merchandise into nigeria without having to do so through Tin can Island and Apapa sea ports. Over 80% of all imported goods/merchandise into nigeria are done by Igbos and this is pure fact. (That is why awusas and Yoruba are always scrambling to become cheif customs comptroller general so they can milk on Igbo sweat generated tax money for their federal government. (Bode George and Atiku comes to mind) google them and see how much NPA money they embezzled. Those are not awusa or Yoruba taxed money, but Igbo's.

Sea ports in nigeria are the second most foreign exchange earner for nigeria after the Niger Delta oil. Over 95% of imported goods into nigeria are through Apapa and TinCan island seaports, all based at Lagos. What happens to other coastal lines in the eastern parts of nigeria, whereby if imported goods/merchandise should be allowed to come into nigeria through those areas as they are allowed in through Lagos sea ports, the congestion on Lagos will be eased, most Igbo businesses will relocate to Igbo areas where it will be less cost effective for their businesses. But no, that will mean Igbos will secretly start to import arms through those areas to achieve their Biafran dream. They must import through Lagos, where by all their importation activities will be strictly monitored by the nigerian security apparatus. Unnecessary Igbo fear is the downfall of nigeria, but they won't accept this fact

If Onitsha is not possible due to the existing fear and plan to contain the Igbos, then the sea ports at Onne Porthacourt and Calabar which are much nearer to Igbo areas must be open for any goods to come in directly through both sea ports from anywhere in the world. As of today, you can not just import what ever you wish through Onne and Calabar sea ports and it will be seized by the federal government of awusa and Yoruba. Do you know how much it will cost you to haul your imported goods from Lagos to Igbo mainland areas, and do you know how much it will cost you to haul the same amount of goods from either Portharcourt or Calabar to Igbo mainland areas? Your guess is good. A good business person always explore and stick to where it is cheaper for him or her to operate, and no how, no how, you nigerians must travel down to Igbo land to buy your needed goods in the event of Igbos emigration to their areas. It is natural.

Such easy ventures in making business access much easier can make thousands of Igbo business community to relocate/emigrate back to their areas, because they Igbos didn't migrate to Lagos to view the high rising towers in Lagos, but to search for better and improved means of making their lively hood which was systematically made almost impossible in their Igbo areas by the awusa and Yoruba controlled federal government because of the war they won through the help of Britain, USSR, Egypt, Sudan and others, 

Good federal road network access and federal Buildings/infrastructures in all Igbo areas. At present, none is existing. As it is been done in Abuja and Lagos with federal/Niger Delta oil money, so shall it be done in one or two Igbo cities including the two most important which are direct landing international airport and sea port and watch emigration in masse from Lagos and Abuja to Igbo areas start to happen. It is not a rocket science, but Yorubas will keep on complaining and moaning about the over population of Lagos without pinpointing the root cause/s of it due to their hypocritical nature. Nigeria is ONE, which is exactely what you people wanted and supported, so deal with the situation. If you want decongestion, it's easy, but if you want to keep burying your heads in sand, then stop complaining.

It is natural for humans from time immemorial (lazy ones due to their nature are not included) to migrate to places where there are much better and easy access for their businesses which is the major means of their survival and Igbos are not an exception. You Ostrich nigerians should stop burying your heads in sands. Stop pretending and do all that i listed above which is very easy and watch Igbos leave your Lagos and Abuja back to their places. Okay, keep pretending and keep hypocriting (my own word) and watch Igbos reach over 70% of Lagos population in the next ten years. Fact is that you can not stop us from moving to anywhere we find it much better and easier for our businesses to survive, after all, we are in ONE nigeria. End of story. Stop whining and deal with the situation that you helped created due to fear and planned containment of Igbos.

STOP MAKING IT ABOUT TRIBES BUT SINCE YOU SAID IT

If igbos influx lagos GREAT as long as they come with money. We in Lagos take pride in diversity, but i highly doubt igbos would leave igboland to wither away and build anothers homeland, but then again they have been doing it for the last 40 years!!!! 70% of Lagos will be igbo is funny. You guys aren't even majority in states other than your 5 tiny states . IGBOS MAKING UP 50% of Lagos is just dumb.Thats like saying 50% of poor people in Lagos are igbo. I thought you guys were JEWS.
If igbos want to come to Lagos we except them and their money with open arms.
The same Lagos you people say is dirty you want to flock to, but hey come and clean it up with your money.
The fact remains the same,
MIND YOU MANY WHO GROW UP IN LAGOS SPEAK MORE YORUBA THEN THEIR MOTHER TONGUES/SHARE SAME VALUES AS YORUBAS. WE RUB OFF LIKE DAT

Some igbos dont know what they want to do. You're saying igbos are 50% of Lagos, the others are sayin igbos dont live in dirty Lagos. You all said igbos love igboland or Biafra, but you're now sayin within the next 10 years you will leave igboland come live and invest in Lagos. You guys dont what to say or believe

IGBO KWENU!!!!! come spend your money jare

Two things wrong with Nigerian census:

1. Failure to enumerate based on tribe/religion
2. Political manipulation of figures to favor the political class. Who would have believed that "Lagos had less population than Kano?"

The reality:

1. Lagos is more populous than the 10 core northern states combined
2. Igbos have been, and remain the most populous tribe in Nigeria
3. Nigeria is closer to 60% christians, 30% muslims, and 10% animists, instead of the this so-called 'roughly equal percentage of christians and muslims'

Where there are Opportunities, people will flock. I guess business in Lagos should expand to other states so the population can reduce.

This an old story,we've seen it before

With this age of instant communication and movement,lagos shouldn't be a prime settlement for nigerians anymore but being dumb,people will still think there is any big deal in living in a slum like lagos.People can do better having a quite,clean and peaceful independent lives in the vilages,small towns and cities.

I for one can't dare live in lagos anymore,because i know better.

International airports and seaports in the south east and south west respectively will solve the problem.

LOL are you Nigerian or from Romania because eveything you stated is totally opposite of what reality in Nigeria is.
Until you have evidence for your 1,2,3, I suggest you keep your ridiculous comments to yourself.
If Census is based on rough numbers, what makes you think your opinion is right when its based on NO NUMBERS.

Don’t be fooled, the Northern oligarchy want to destroy Lagos – this’why no effort has been made to decentralize the economic base of the nation. It is a shame that they are bent on destroying what is arguably the most naturally beautiful city in West Africa. I am glad Fashola is doing something about it.

"Federal governement's obligation" ke! That translates as oil money from the Niger Delta.

This doesn't make any sense?   

First who is the 'you' that ND feeds ? Is it Chukwuma the spare parts dealer in Ilasa, Sikiru the battery charger in Abule-Egba or Mohammed the prof of Suya on Allen Avenue?

If ND 'feeds us all' , why are they (n-deltans) living here in squalor as well ? 

Stop making this a tribal issue,a Lagosian is someone that makes a living (or lives ) in lagos.

Once u reduce it to Yoruba,Igbo,ijaw,hausa etc u lose any sense u're trying to make. a lot of Nairalanders are 'Londoners' ,'New Yorkers' etc.

Olodo, yes Lagos is dirty, and Yorubas who are naturally dirty people as have been proven with facts are the reason why Lagos is dirty. You refuse to read about my reasons as to why Igbos will soon make up about 70% of all Lagos populations. Perhaps your laziness will not allow you to read and comprehend. The reasons were stated clearly above by me.

Yes, Igbos have been migrating to other places in nigeria and developing those places since the past 40 years, and that was a pure hatched strategy that was hatched at No 10 Downing Street London and being executed in nigeria to help contain the Igbos and keep nigeria ONE as long as they can. Olodo, once again, i gave reasons above and if those are not checked, Igbo population in Lagos will reach to over 70% of all Lagosians in the next ten years. We are coming and you can't use any other strategy to stop us except those reasons i listed above.

The idea was to not develop Igbo areas with infrastructures so the Igbos will come out in mass from their areas to live and conduct their businesses in other parts of nigeria as this will make them to integrate much and forget about their Biafran dream so that the British will continue milking nigeria under the nose of the slowpoke awusas and Yorubas as managers of nigeria. This they can not be able to do in an Igbo/Biafran ruled country.

Who are you to accept Igbos with open arms? First you do not own Lagos as Lagos is a nigerian city own by all nigerians and every nigerian reserves the right to live in Lagos. Second, Igbos in Lagos have higher and better living standard than the Yorubas and other ethnicity in Lagos. Generally in nigeria and according to proven statistics, (you can google it) Igbos have better and higher living standard, followed by the Niger Deltans and Yorubas come a distant third. So, you are right, we are Jews and we shall keep dominating you in your land. Jealousness can only lead you to suicide. Most Igbos in Lagos do not speak Yoruba language. Igbo language is the second most spoken in Lagos. Go to Alaba, Trade fair and other Igbo dominated areas and see for yourself.

Gone are days when you fathers kept on feeding you wrong information which were not based on facts and statistics. They once told you that you were the best educated in nigeria until JAMB came out with their statistics to prove you wrong and until today, most Yorubas as can evidenced in this forum still find it hard to come to terms with the JAMB proven statistics which put Igbos ahead of everyone in nigeria as the best educated.

Conduct a new census which will include ethnicity and lets see who is actually the most populated in nigeria. Fact remains that Igbos make up about 50% of all people living in Lagos and over 40% of all nigerians. If you dispute this figure, then conduct a census and include ethnicity. But your country can not do this, knowing the humiliation it will bring upon them.

Ewu, that we love our place and country Biafra doesn't mean we should not migrate to other places to conduct our businesses. We are not lazy like you people. The number of Jews in USA are more than those living in Israel which is their root/home country. But i guess, you do not know about this fact.

One of you have already use the increment on the C of O in Abuja as the reason why he and other Yorubas should not migrate to Abuja. I was asking myself, when have the Yorubas ever have their presence felt in Abuja, now they want to use the increment on the C of O which is still a token money as an excuse of not migrating to Abuja. Even the awusas move more than you lazy ones.

What nonsense " 50% of the population of lagos is Igbo and would soon equal 70%"

What happened to the yoruba population did they some how drop dead

The kind of statement should come from an illiterate  like the Northerners who said the oil in the Nd flowed downwards  from the north.

i dnt know this guy was such a poorly educated slowpoke. he has turned this real discussion about housing challenges in the economic heartbeat of west Africa into his myopic view of life. If i get you right: Igbos are the best in the world,they know all & they will rule the world in a few years.

Sometimes i wonder if these 2 groups should be in the same country.

Nothing will happen to the population of Yorubas. Use your brain enough if you have any. It is not yet a rocket science. It means that in the next ten years, with Lagos being the only city in nigeria that have direct international airport and sea ports which are what make bigger businesses more easier, more Igbos that will flood to Lagos will be more in number of the Yorubas and other ethnic groups that will flood to Lagos at the same period, even though Lagos is nearer to Yorubas. Yorubas are known to be content with their low living standards and as such do not care to venture out and seek for more better living standards. They are satisfied with living in Ibadan, Akure and other Yoruba areas.

Bialegend, you are a great tribalist. It is very painful that you are afraid what you biafra would turn when you lunch it where rich men in your land, fat belle politicians are all running out ya land but investing and living in lagos and abuja why you plan to depart from. No need to worry at all, lauch ya biafra and the poor among you will follow suit. Do you know about Innocent Nzeribe? An igbo man but ambitious yoruba man. Do you also know that Ladipo Odo Market in Mushin, Lagos is the largest and biggest automobile centre in Africa? Though was started by a man from Ibadan but its being developd and maintained by Igbo Men tell me who among them will leave where they earn there living for your wretch-to-be Biafra. I pray you think well and forget seceeding for now, lets see where yara'dull push us first.

The ND feeds Lagos state, just like any other part of Nigeria. You are the one mentioning "tribe" here. Is the ND not feeding Lagos state? Can Lagos state feed itself, why are you running from the truth and reality?

Have you cautioned those who are talking about how Lagos needs its taxes and the FG should pitch in even more oil money to help?

You are the biggest goat among all Yorubas. It is clear that the name "Biafra" scares you a lot. The same way Igbos migrated to Lagos and Abuja due to the development in those areas is the same way they will emigrate to Biafra once development of infrastructures takes off inside Biafra. Innocent Nzeribe is not and will never be a Yoruba. Yes, Ladipo Odo Market in Mushin, Lagos is the largest and biggest automobile center in Africa and Igbos made it to be so, including other areas of businesses in Lagos. We are known to build greatness from scratches, so leave that to us. Biafra, once created will soon become a place you will envy so much. You are poorer than Igbos, so you should have no face to talk about the poor of Igbos. My advice to you is beware of any thread about Igbo, Biafra or Ojukwu, cause perusing such threads will make you commit suicide. You are afraid and it's visible.

Until you have evidence for your 1,2,3, I suggest you keep your ridiculous comments to yourself.
If Census is based on rough numbers, what makes you think your opinion is right when its based on NO NUMBERS.

An honest, and progressive federal government would provide evidence for 1,2,3; but since that's not forthcoming, just think for yourself then.
Why are the Igbos, the only tribe you would mostly find in every nook and cranny in Nigeria, and Africa in general?
Why do the Igbos record the highest number of secondary and post-secondary entrance applications?
Why are the Igbos usually the highest number to apply for any open position in Nigeria---both public and private.

If you don't know these answers, don't worry, because somebody in top echellons of government knows the answers, and that's why they don't want an honest and accurate census.

Don't forget that while politically manipulated census is one way of sharing the federal money, there are other methods of evaluating a people's population.

You are making real sense, but don't expect those nigerians to grab a thing or two from what you posted above.
It is in their blood to twist and deny facts. But for how long.

Quick answer - biafra does not exist! It is a concept.

What nonsense " 50% of the population of Lagos is Igbo and would soon equal 70%"

What happened to the yoruba population did they some how drop dead

The kind of statement should come from an illiterate  like the Northerners who said the oil in the Nd flowed downwards  from the north.

lol

no, they suddenly become igbo
