Fine, you're a Lagosian but don't make it seem like the 'west' is made up of only Lagos. For crying out loud, it's just one state.
Never been next to heaven IMO, not even close lmao.
There are easterners who live in Abeokuta, so are there westerners, southerners, etc who live in Onitsha.
What part of business atmosphere don't you get? Yes, I'll convince the rest.
Heck my uncle who lived in 'heaven' = VGC lagos has finally moved here with his family. That's a new trend.

sure theres a difference between business and actually living there

Its not a trend maybe amongst peope who aren't yoruba since you guys have always left igboland and Nigeria lol
But most yorubas who have money to stay in vi vgc lekki ect,  . . . STAY simple

lol not to mention it being a very stupid trend

LOL what''s with all the editing and stuff?

I did live in the east. stop yarning dust.

You're a Lagosian, why aren't you living there? Last time I checked, you were "born and raised in yankee".
Different people have different reasons for living in Lagos. It's not always financial or economical reasons.

Anyway, I don't want to sound ethnocentric like you, you just need to chill with the whole "Lagos is filled with opportunities and embraces everyone" talk.
Lagos is really only good if you're rich, just like every other place in Nigeria. so spare me.

**rolls eyes**, why would anybody commute from one state to another just to do business? they rather just settle there.

i was born in yankee and raised between Lagos and yankee

and go from USA to Lagos about 3- 4 times a year

my parents have a house in yankee and Lagos traveling in between is what we do

I live where ever i feel like it and right now too many migrants are overcrowding it so im chilling and schooling in yankee for now

YOU USED TO LIVE IN THE EAST, YOU SHOULD HAVE STAYED THERE INSTEAD OF MOVING TO LAGOS IN THE FIRST PLACE
THEN WENT TO YANKEE

IF LAGOS DIDN'T HAVE MORE OPPURTUNITIES OR WASN'T BETTER THAN THE EAST WHY DID YOU MOVE?

This guy is either plain stupid or bone ignorant. Lagos does not equate with Yoruba.
Last time I looked, Lagos state had the following indegenous ethnic groups:
  • Agoyin
  • Egun
  • Ijaw
  • Ilaje
  • Yoruba

Ignorance is a very dangerous thing.

A lot of Easterners go to Lagos just for the novelty of it being Lagos and they think they can get an instant job and impress their family members. There are still millions of Easterners and Northerners living in their homelands. There nothing super special about Lagos, it just happens to be the financial center of Nigeria and it's old capital, if Warri were Nigeria's financial capital, people would flock there as they do for Lagos.

You should visit Port Harcourt one day, it's not as populated as Lagos, but it has people from all over the country there.

You're dense so you'll probably never get it.  Undecided
And nobody asked for your family's history. You're in the U.S. because Lagos is over-crowded with migrants? funny funny funny.
You're a Lagosian so shouldn't your family like have several plots of land there?. I know my family have lots in the east.
If you aren't living in the ghetto of Lagos, why should over-crowding be your problem? Are there no more Lekki, V.I, Ikoyi, and VGC?
you too should have never gone to yankee AT ALL. rubbish.

You're definitely not in any position to know who does what seeing as you have little knowledge of anywhere besides Lagos. Sure, you might have seen lots of Igbo people in Lagos, doesn't mean there aren't lots of yorubas also in some cities in the east. Or do you have proof that says otherwise? My point is that nowhere in Nigeria is a bed of roses including your Lagos, if you don't have the dough. There are also cities in the east where supposed rich folks live. They might not be as popular as the cities in Lagos with Lagos being the former capital as someone rightly pointed out. Lagos is Nigeria's new york. Lord knows the place has its share of ghetto as well as posh areas. It's natural that they're being hyped being former capitals and all.

You are not ashamed of yourself posing with your parents achievement. What have you achieved with  your sorry life?.

LOL you asked me why am i in yankee? i simply told you lol
you obviously never seen ikoyi traffic before
and living in VGC-VI other spots , mean nothing once you leave your AREA, you see all the monkeys who have migrated, all over mainland and bringing their stinky okadas to the island /other parts
YOU ASKED  shouldn't your family like have several plots of land there?. ? Why would they have several spots in Lagos, when where they live is one of the few good spots left CLOWN.
your point was just stupid cause you've argued my point for me
as i said people should stop moving to Lagos if it doesn't suit them

Let me break it down in simpler words; the sentence means Lagos does not equate to Yoruba, there are several ethnic groups that are indegenous to the state.
