Let me contribute to the trending topic about igbos and lagos. I will make my opinion in perspective with what Governor Obiano said:

“The greatest thing we want to do is to emulate what the Israelis have done. We have very rich Anambra people all over the world – Anambra made Lagos what it is, whether they want to accept it or not – the taxes that are paid are mostly by Anambra people.

This is a fact.. Anambra people and indeed igbos are one of the biggest tax payers in Lagos. It's erroneous for some misinformed people to be citing only Dangote while trying to disclaim this fact.

Lagos is NOT an oil producing state, one of it's major revenue comes from the ports and a quick check shows that Anambra people and indeed igbos control over 50% of activities in Lagos port. Anyone should disclaim this with facts.


Secondly, the major markets in Lagos are controlled by igbos.. Fact! The biggest auto mobile dealers in Lagos are igbos (majorly Anambra people too), The private oil sector in Lagos is controlled by igbos.. the biggest private oil jetty in Nigeria located in Lagos is owned by who? igbo.. The biggest radio station in Lagos, is owned by who? Igbo.. I can keep going on and on.

I dare say that if igbos withdraw all these investments back to igboland, Lagos will fold immediately! So Governor obiano is correct, igbos pay most of the taxes in Lagos..

Lagos ACN already laid this matter to rest in a previous statement, where it stated and I quote

“Lagos ACN wants to let Nigerians know that Igbos constitute over 45 per cent of the population of Lagos and they dominate key sectors of the Lagos economy.

http://pmnewsnigeria.com/2013/07/31/lagos-is-safe-for-igbo-says-acn/

Whether anyone accepts it or not, Lagos will fold without igbos and no amount of propaganda will stop us from saying this! It is a fact whether anyone likes it or not. I have never seen any igbo person laying claim to the economy of ogun and ibadan (where yorubas invest majorly in), but for Lagos, the truth must be said, if you don't accept it, provide your alternative fact on this thread, I'm willing to engage all!


Thanks

The tax paid by Cosharis Motor alone is enough to rescue osun state from bankruptcy

Like I always say, if yorubas claim they made lagos, why cant they make another lagos?

...aswear they are coming for you, I knw somebody who is not going to like this read.

You IBO's own nothing. You like to make noise a lot. I'd you feel Lagos will collapse when you leave, then what is stopping you all this while. Are you not tired if the insults from Yoruba people? For years you have been repeating this crap. Go and let us see who will suffer most.
Bloody parasites!!!

How I wish these guys have branches in Awka, Enugu or Owerri. I like Innoson for starting from home!

that was soft!

The truth must be told whether like it or not, but the no man's tag is what I dont like because lagos belongs to all Nijurians

.

This is what it means to develop Lagos not omonile.. Tax paid from this jetty alone can repay the bailout fund Ogun state has been indebted to from FG

If yoruba made Lagos, why is it that ALL yoruba states are bankrupt except lagos? meanwhile all SE states are not bankrupt? simple logic

Igbos will die on top lagos matter
Why are these people so crazy over Lagos ?

Who is my friend? A stinking Iboe monkey? For you to claim you developed Lagos, then your states should be developed like Lagos. The IGR in the whole iboeland is not bigger than Ogun state, not to talk of lagos

Say whatever you like.

The fact is that we are deeply integrated into Lagos grid that even a master surgeon cannot excise with asphyxiating the city. You lot pride yourself as thinkers, that's for thought.

If Yorubas are tired of seeing Igbo in Lagos, my kind suggestion is that Yoruba relocate away from the city. If you like insult Igbos from now till thy Kingdom come, it will only motivate us.

Yoruba's never claim they made Lagos but IBO's did. Why can't you make another Lagos in your land instead of forsaking your land?

oodualover:

[s]Is Lagos not bankrupt? Why won't Yoruba land be bankrupt when your parasitic animals won't stay in your land? Why won't they be bankrupt when you use our infrastructure and evade tax? Lazy parasitic pigs like you cannot stay in your land, but will rather stay in our land, use our road, send your useless and ugly children to our government schools and won't pay tax. The givernirs then will have to borrow money to build mire schools, employ teachers( who will receive salary), create more chairs and tables. How then will the states not be in debt when your parasitic IBO's monkeys flick to our land[/s]?

We are talking about Lagos here not yorubaland, last I checked igbos dont live in yorubaland except civil servants and private sector workers. Alas that is why all yoruba states are bankrupt and cant pay common half salaries they agreed to pay their workers.

You must hear the truth whether you like it or not, obiano is speaking based on records he has, can you provide your alternative record?

As Nigerians, Lagos is our land cos it's part of our country. You have 10 years to help Igbo achieve Biafra. Otherwise, Lagos will be lost forever to Yoruba as a Yoruba city! 10 years, after which we have no need for Biafra again!

But we made Lagos!

Yoruba made Osun and Ibadan. And failed to make Kwara!

Do you need our help? We are developers!

There are many IBO's in osun state just in case you don't know. You parasitic iboe clowns are in every Yoruba state because your land is poor and you must leave it to survive. If iboeland is developed like you claim, why then must you leave it? Whatbis chasing you from your land? Despite how small and densely populated it is, it is still poor and underdeveloped. Yet you dirty parasitic ibboe pigs can claim to develop Lagos.
Nomadic drug trafficking tribe!

Even Lagos still has bad spots, but I dont want to derial this thread by posting them.. Igbo states are paying their workers like Lagos state is doing but it is not the case with yoruba states where all are owing workers half salaries..

PointB:

Try and develop these places in iboeland before making noise

We have heard you. We will try.
That's why we are milking Lagos since our oil money is spent there. Try and be patient, we'll soon milk Lagos dry and then we'll move on.

The only relationship ndigbo has ever had with osun state was their food aid donation to impoverished osun workers who last saw their salry 6 years ago
