Nigerians not just Igbo's depends in Lagos ( to some extent) for economic survival because of the structure of lagos.
lagos is termed as center of excellence (who no go won excel) there for many tribes move to Lagos to excel so also may tribes move to abuja to unite.
even many Yoruba's in sw who are not originally lagos indigenes come in their mass to Lagos.
what structures in Lagos attracts many Nigerians and mostly Igbo's
1) Embassies and consulate offices. Most consulate offices and embassies are located either in Lagos or abuja. Therefore Igbo's by their very nature who travel outside the country a lot would either go to Lagos or abuja to get visa . Therefore in Ten Nigerians coming to Lagos to get a visa,four or three will be Igbo's. but if there are embassies in Enugu I don't need to get my visa in Lagos or abuja
2) international airports before now, if Nigerians where coming back home ( having a large Igbo diaspora) they would either go through Lagos or abuja, but now with Enugu airports receiving direct flights, I as an Igbo man (and many others in diaspora) who would want to visit home to Xmas will fly straight to Enugu then to my village
3) seaport. Although there are several seaports in Nigeria, Lagos is a major seaport in Nigeria before PH, critics would want to jump on me, why don't they import from pH and stop blaming yorubas. Igbo's for sure has majority of importers and exporters and also many shipping companies but why they keep importing from Lagos other than pH is because Lagos seaport has more depth or daught of like 13 m which is the deepest of all presently in the country which can contain larger ships and cargos than of ph, this is why shipping companies would always prefer Lagos port for more profit. ( why did the government construct ibaka deep-sea Port which has 16m depth more than Lagos )
therefore if I am an Igbo trader, with an ibaka, Lagos, pH seaport I will prefer the one of ibaka since it is near my market in Aba and onitsha .
Igbo's are well known travelers, business oriented, importers and exporters, traders than any other ethnic groups, Lagos being favorable to all these due government structures will attract Igbo's more than other tribes. the Lagos government should be happy with this as they make much money from tasking shipping companies, importers, exporters, airlines etc if not for the aforementioned igbos population in Lagos will almost be the same in Lagos , kano, Jos , etc

I tink u shld rephrase dis to 'can Lagos survive without igbos'

If you remember the cries from the SE when Fashola relocated destitutes to Anambra, having already done same to other regions without similar reaction, then your question was already answered then.

When you take candy from a kid, you should expect tears.

Take Lagos away from Igbos that claim Lagos need them, expect all manner of wailing and begging.

Op you have thrown up a very good topic. there few lines that will help to shed more light:
1. The successive government had refused to developed or equipped or even allow other ports in other parts of the country to operate, thereby leaving the ports in Lagos the only options.

2. It's indisputable that over 60% of the importation business in the country is owned by the Igbo.

3. If 1&2 holds true, then Igbo can do without Lagos provided government govt will not tied the fortune of the whole country to one part.

watch how the sub Jews will claim Lagos and yorubaland can't do without them.
when you ask what keeps them from achieving biabia,they will tell you yorubas are holding them.
after fashola deported them and deji ordered a season of merciless flogging in akure,they became sore depressed.
Yoruba(Lagos) land is their yondon

No they cant

Taking away lagos from Igbos is like taking away oxygen. because igbos are very industrious and hardworking. Its only a few that cause problems for the others

How can you be deporting someone and be shouting 'one Nigeria' at the same time? That act of hypocrisy is what infuriated most Igbos such as myself. Yorubas have since turned that deportation saga into a sign that Igbos can't do without Lagos. I have no doubt in my mind that if all Igbos Lagos left, the place would be dead within a year because like it or lump it, Yorubas don't have the level of 'commercial grit' Igbos have.

people don't import from pH...because the government have made one port an oil export zone mstchewww

"For Lagos State, more than 70% of the manufacturing concerns and major industries in the State are owned by the Igbos. If the Igbos were to stop paying tax in Lagos State, the IGR of Lagos State will reduce by over 60%. In contrast, Sir, go to the South East and look at the manufacturing concerns in Onitsha, Aba and Nnewi. Please don't forget those were areas ravaged by civil war a mere forty something years ago. The Igbos have certainly made tremendous progress but the Yoruba nation has regressed. I wish to state that this letter is not meant to whip up primordial considerations or ethnic sentiments but just to put things in proper perspective."

Suddenly everyone tries to make it seem the Igbos are their best friends.

Syddenly, so much articles praising the igbos here and there and why they should remain.


Somethang x fishy, seriously.....

what happened to insults mehn...its preferable

Obviously Lagos with its 20million+ population represents their single largest market in Africa where they enjoy the freedom to trade and do business without hindrance. Igbos generally take the ethnicities that accept them into their markets as foolz and inferior for being dumb enough to allow them in to 'dominate and control' their turf. For this simple reason I doubt any sane independent nation won't enact protectionist policies against their encroachment, the Kenyans and Ghanaians have been smart enough to do just, but Yorubas obviously can't overtly do same thanks to timidity, cowardice, and 'One Nigeria' factor. Same can't be said for places like Rivers where even their own igboid kinsmen refuse to sell them land in parts of the state. Of course they can and will definitely survive without Lagos in the own independent country, only that their market access would be significantly smaller.

Maybe , as a matter of fact , i think not

One way or another , 88% Ibo have to hustle from / through or in Lagos or other Yoruba cities to make it in life, This fact is well established


Those saying manufacturing , businesses , whatever in Lagos belongs to Ibo , While you might be right , You should know that Lagos out of respect may have chosen not to compete with these manufacturing / businesses , if Ibos were to be evicted today , those companies wouldn't be vacant


finally , If there isn't something special, some sort of blessing and stability , economic growth and security in Lagos, I bet Nna boys wont cross 7 seas to come and establish anything in our beloved brown roof republic

So , With all of these said , i am quite certain Ibo can not survive without lagos

and just as a reminder , several companies , establishments are also owned by Yoruba in better places like Abuja ,

Igbos don't depend one bit on Lagos but are rather part and parcel of what keeps Lagos afloat just like every other Nigerian. Igbos are everywhere in Nigeria including the remotest rural areas as traders and professionals helping to grow their host communities as well as make a fortune in the process.

you this young boy,if Igbo's with all their 'commercial grit' can't develop Onitsha and aba where they have higher population than Lagos to become Dubai, don't you think something is fundamentally wrong with them.

33xtr33r:


"For Lagos State, more than 70% of the manufacturing concerns and major industries in the State are owned by the Igbos.

You people need to stop fooling yourselves. If igbos own 70% of investments in Lagos, where will you place the Yorubas who own the land, the Hausas like dangote, other Nigerians and most especially the multinationals? Do you think owning 2 by 2 shops equates to controlling the investments of a state?

I believe you typed that junk from Aba. Pls, reason.

Every Yoruba man is a lagosian
Maybe Na cocoa money dem use build 3rd mainland bridge
Tomorrow
Gwari will claim that they developed Abuja


Can't Yoruba be proud of their cities like Ibadan and Oshogbo

Lagos was developed with oil money and we will repatriate all the money we make in Lagos back to east


Compete or get out

we complained then not because igbos were brought back home but because if this was one nigeria, why should anybody be deported from one part of the country to another? Back to the topic..... igbos can survive and live well even if you drop us in the middle of the ocean or desert. We will still triumph. Remove igbos from lagos and the igr of lagos will drop to 50billion naira.

Give Igbos inland river ports and see what will befall Lagos

The other idiot said that out of respect that Yoruba didn't want to compete..... that's crazy
Ok they agreed they have respect for Igbo

Then you said that the Igbo dominate


Are you not ashamed


Your father's have a ten year window to take over from 1967 to 1980 when igbo was suffering from post war challenges with just £20


You guys should be totally ashamed of yourself
How can you even compete with strangers
Keep up with the Omo Nile

Even education you guys are not even going to schools again

IBO man why are you bitter.
Lagos was a federal capital and the revenue received was payment for our land,abuja belongs to gwari if you like better move your building out before another pogrom starts,
The port your people give as excuse why they are in Lagos was it built by oil revenue or by federal capital allocation.
comparing Enugu and Onitsha to Ibadan is the highest of foolishness.
drug peddling is not hard work,you dig.

Just rephrase that topic,Igbos are born survivors,put them in the most remote village in kafanchan they will conquer and dominate,so ur Topic should be can lagos survive without the Igbos.

What stupid headline!! Over 90% of igbos live outside lagos so kini bug deal!!
