Honestly, I usually cover my face in shame when I see Igbos shouting no man's land, as it gives them so kind of sexual satisfaction. Left for me, I'll love to see mass migration of Igbos residing both in Lagos and Kano to boost back the economy of South East. Those of us that are into this nonsense should put a stop to it. Lagos, right from inception, is Yoruba enclave, and will always be.
Our own Lagos lies in the East and entire Igboland. This was the point Governor Obiano was trying to make yesterday, but was quated out of context by tribal bigots to score cheap points.

The tax MTN is paying is more than 50000 okirika 2x2 shops are paying.

Why can't they build their own village? Why die on lagos matter?

Aregbesola in osun is constructing mad roads in osun, once things start booming in osun, they will flock there and start claiming to developed it.

Some Igbo boys are claiming ogun state tax is 70pcent Igbo money.

Why can't they invest on their land? Is it a curse?

Lagos will be a no man's and only when aba, nnewi and onitsha become no man's land.

Thesame Igbos who do not welcome visitors in their land like to claim any land where they are welcome.

Saying Lagos is "No man's land" does not in anyway means we are neglecting the East/Homeland. The idea is to maximize the benefit of Lagos to develop the East.

We must not lose sight of our contributions in Lagos, yet we must capitalize on the gains of those contribution to develop our homeland. We can't just pack up and leave Lagos, nor can anyone run us out of our investments in the growth Lagos. That's why we say "Lagos is No Man's Land." And that's what it will remain in the foreseeable future if Nigeria continue to exist as it is now!

Chinese have more investment in lagos than Igbo, they didn't call it no man's land. Dubia is base of investors all over the world, nobody is calling it a no man's land. The lagos no man's land word is birth from jealousy. Igbo wish they have a place lagos.
They forgot they can anambra another lagos

This is one of the reasons NL may never be a popular website.
Everybody knows Lagos is Yorubaland.
Only a few people come here to rile up young, innocent Yorubas for fun.
In real life, they know the facts.

I have long discovered here that the e-battle here is usually between teenage/early 20s Yoruba and semiliterate Igbos.

These arguments can never happen in real life.

On the contrary, I don't want Igbos to stop calling Lagos no-man's Land and I'll state my reasons.

Yorubas welcomed Igbos with an open hand and returned their abandoned properties after the war. Meanwhile, Igboid groups in present-day Rivers and Bayelsa states refused to return confiscated Igbo properties.

Nigerians from all ethnicities come to Lagos, live, trade, work, build and retire here. However, Igbos ignored the landowners and contributions of everyone and are selfishly but are foolishly claiming they developed Lagos.

The problem some Igbos have is that they have short memories. They've forgotten that as at when the Portuguese landed in Lagos, they had not yet finished trekking from Isreal or wherever they were downloaded from.

Yoruba are very welcoming and accommodating but won't tolerate nonsense. When these Igbos started this noise, we warned the liberal Yorubas but they said we were paranoid. Now, a lot of Yorubas are seeing the hate and bitterness that Igbos wish upon us and are now waking up.

During the last LG elections, all LG seats in Festac, Ojo Alaba, Amuwo and other areas with large Igbo population were collected and are firmly in the hand of Yorubas. In 2019, we're collecting our seats from those Igbos representatives and HOA members.

The environmental sanitation is presently political. When we're through with that, we move to other areas. By the time we ban gala and Fan yogo hawking in Lagos and the economy of a whole Igbo state crumbles cos of that, maybe you'll have sense.

Let Igbos keep calling Lagos No man's land, it serves to wake up the consciousness of liberal Yorubas. Mind you, the quiet Yoruba man is the most dangerous. The revolution would not be televised.

Ni8sely and aptly put for the senseless people. these people call it moderate or anything do not mean well to the yorubas. Yorubas must now start esusu again to help poor memebers of the tribe to take over the businesses these miscreants depend on like the fan yogo, gala, spareparts, and host of other Trades, teach our young ones trading and saving methods and put them out of business so they can go back to their useless land. Filthy bad people.

I very much doubt if you are Igbo with this azz-licking and ridiculous heading. You could simply ask Igbos to invest in Igbo land without having to bring up the issue of Lagos into it.

Lagos has never been a Yoruba Land. 97% of Yorubas in lagos are immigrants just like the Igbos, Hausas, Binis and other SS peoples. It is and will always remain a cosmopolitan entity for the entire nation. Yorubas are more in Lagos because of the proximity of core Yoruba states to Lagos.

Igbos are many there because of our ubiquitous and adventurous nature.

Igbos should invest more in Igbo states. I agree. But that has nothing to do with Lagos being 'no man's land'. Stop sucking up to Yorubas. that is if you are actually Igbo.

You people should take things easy about Lagos. The questions are: 1) which country is Lagos? (2) Which region is Lagos? (3) Which Culture is been practice in Lagos? Who are the dominants? Perhaps these questions will help alot about who owns Lagos.

I was born and bred in lagos and having been hearing that slogan that lagos is no man's land. Is actually absurd and ridiculous to claim an area is no man's land but whenever you need a portion of land you pay them. By making financial transactions and legal agreement you have accepted that they are the owners. If it's no man's land you need not to make any payment you just jump into any portion of land and develop. If you say the igbos have greatly assisted in developing some parts and sectors of lagos,that is very glaring to everyone even the foreigners but saying lagos is no man's land is a very wrong and insultive notions.

Chai my heart bleeds each time this "no mans land" issue comes up, yes ndi Igbo has many investment in Lagos but why not divert it to the southeast? Igbo's can not just pack up and go like that but gradually Igbo's can invest back in the east.

Op, we respect your opinion, and we appreciate your candour and call for us to think home. We have heard you. Yet I doubt if there is any Igboman/woman who is not thinking home. Such must be the most foolish or lost not to think home, especially is this volitile Nigeria. East, West, East home is the best!

But thinking home; developing Igboland, or whatever way we coin it should not be exclusive of getting our fair share of Nigeria and by extension Lagos. It's a way on buying into the vision of one Nigeria in pursuant of calls by almost all Nigeria leaders.

I don't know what part of Igboland you hail from, but in my neck of the wood, our people are doing the best making homefront comfortable in several front. You should be doing you part, including this clarion call.

Yet again, Lagos is the largest commercial city in West Africa, it will be idiotic to abandon Lagos in the name of Yoruba city. That would be a mistake. It will also be a mistake to cower under the idiotic 'guest/host' insinuation being made by Yorubas. Lagos, Aba, Onitsha, Kano, PH, Abuja etc are all Nigeria city, you can't live like a guest in your own country.

It is the subtly and not so subtle push for 'guest/host' arrangement that is creating the reactionary "No man's land' response. Every Nigerian must see every other Nigerians as part owner of their City (Lagos especially) in every aspect. Failure to do this will continue to result in the several coloration/classification of the Nigerian and their cities in derogatory names.

Don't pretend to be Igbo, the fact that you can't even spell it has given you away. Why are you people so obsessed with Igbo? [b]Did we stop you from collecting Owoda at every bus stop? Did we stop you from collecting Owo Omonile at every construction site? Did we stop you from collecting Owo Iyaloja at every market? Continue with your destiny, while we do our legitimate businesses peacefully. [/b]Thank you.



Very on point. You cannot believe the number of these Yoruba families I'm helping to feed in Lagos. Most of them from Ondo, Osun and Ekiti. Almost everybody working on my properties are Yoruba. From the Bricklayer, the Mason, Carpenter up to the project supervisor. They don't have any basis whatsoever to complain about the Igbos. They should rather be grateful.

That Owo Iyaloja is paid mostly by Igbo traders.
