milkymesh: I used to like the Igbos before i was posted to Onitsha were i work. I am from Delta state. Let me not generalize. I will be specific to Anambra state. These people are grossly uncouth, devious,without regard for anything besides money. They can sacrifice anything for money. From my experience( which I can not state fully here because of space and time),if that is what all Igbos are, then they deserve all the unwholesome treatment they get in other parts of the country. For those those thinking the ND is with them, its a pipe dream(maybe those in the former eastern region). If they continue like this the whole country will be too hot for them in the near future, and the country divides, every corner will make policies that will cage all their business interest.
My opinion whether you like it or not. Wether you hate me or not.:-O

The problem that we did not solve with the Aburi Accord still hunts us and I see as an observer that democracy which we are supposedly pursuing and that we are just paying lip service to democracy - Lt. Col. Gabriel Anthony Nyiam

kettykings: if this is not a declaration of Economic war on Igbos then what is it,Useless Igbos will keep taking this insult living low and pretending that their exist one Nigeria.
What stops igbos from mustering their financial strength and do a 3 to 5 year plan of Divesting their Businesses from Lagos state.

The Importation Business would take place from Ibaka port and the new port in Bayelsa.
The Telecommunication Businesses will be Divested and new Companies founded in the East with New transatlantic optic fiber laid.
Banks owned and affiliated to igbos Relocate/move their Headquarters to the east.
The Real Estate owned by Igbos and Niger Deltans should be put up for sale and better structures put up in the East
All Oil and Gas Drilling Business and oil servicing Businesses owned by SE/SS should relocate within the 5 year plan to the East.
While the one not owned by Easterner would be made to pay very heavy Annual registration fees.
The Oil Companies not owned by SE/SS would also be made to pay very heavy fines to sort out Environmental Degradation and at the slight of any Oil Spillage the companies should be closed down and until the owners pay a heavy fine of $16B.
All fights to and fro the Major Destinations in the World will originate and terminate from any of the international Airports in the east

PROUD-IGBO:


^^^Hehehehe I think Ndigbo can 'manage' to survive without you 'liking' us. Care to share with us some other Nigerian ethnic groups you reckon are outstanding and whom Ndigbo can learn from?

Just out of curiousity, what ethnicity in Delta state are you from?

Some of the Bakassi Boys arrested at Ladipo Market today

LAGOS — TRADERS in the popular Ladipo auto parts market closed down, yesterday, by Lagos State Government on Monday have started counting their losses, saying they are losing at least N100 billion daily.

Traders who spoke to Vanguard yesterday, lamented that they were already feeling the pains of the closure as they could no longer meet their obligations to their families.Speaking, Secretary of the Aguiyi Ironsi Traders Union, Mr. Christain Igbaunam told Vanguard that his members would be losing over N100billions per day to the closure and lamented that efforts to meet with the Lagos State Task force on Environmental and Special Offenses (Enforcement) Units, to negotiate the opening of the market had proved abortive.*Ladipo Market traders protesting against the closure of the marketHe said: “We have over 15,00 registered members. Individual members make not less than N10 million daily. On the average, members will be losing over N100billions on a daily basis to the closure of the market.”He denied allegations that their security guards arrested were armed robbers, saying “those allegations made against our security guards are false. They were not armed with guns and were not against the state officials. They were only misunderstood.

These are security guards put in place by the association to arrest criminal activities in the market. I am pleading for their release.”A trader who spoke on condition of anonymity, said “whenever I offload my containers, I make not less than 15millions. Just imagine what I will be losing now that the market has been shut.”Another who gave his name as Jude Tobechukwu, pleaded for the re-opening of the market, saying “we are losing billions of Naira to the closure of this market. Today’s (yesterday) is the second day that we have been shut out. I have lost over N10 millions since the closure. That is a huge sum of money even those in government do not want to lose.”One Okolie Amadi, claimed his wife was in the hospital for a kidney transplant, lamenting that “I was hoping to use this week to look for money for the transplant.  My wife is lying helpless in the hospital awaiting a kidney transplant due to lack of money. I came to the market to see if I can raise some money for her operations only to see that armed mobile police men have barricaded the entrance to the market. I am pleading to the state government to have piety on us.”

manny4life: Imagine the bold if it's true, abeg Aguiyi Ironsi Trade Union, yall should relocate, remit your taxes to your various governments.

ODUA_NEGRO:

you said "if its true". do your brithers lie about their income? Mushin needto collect tax from each before relocate.

Mad Cow:

From the tribe of Anuofias...

Funny thing, Ndi Igbo did not feel his presence or absence.. The mofo came in as a refugee.

ODUA_NEGRO: you know manny, i first thought massob was playing for initiating Biafran Inco.e Tax. Now i see justification for it.

N100b/day is more money than some nations allocate for monthly expenditure.

kettykings: if this is not a declaration of Economic war on Igbos then what is it,Useless Igbos will keep taking this insult living low and pretending that their exist one Nigeria.
What stops igbos from mustering their financial strength and do a 3 to 5 year plan of Divesting their Businesses from Lagos state.

The Importation Business would take place from Ibaka port and the new port in Bayelsa.
The Telecommunication Businesses will be Divested and new Companies founded in the East with New transatlantic optic fiber laid.
Banks owned and affiliated to igbos Relocate/move their Headquarters to the east.
The Real Estate owned by Igbos and Niger Deltans should be put up for sale and better structures put up in the East
All Oil and Gas Drilling Business and oil servicing Businesses owned by SE/SS should relocate within the 5 year plan to the East.
While the one not owned by Easterner would be made to pay very heavy Annual registration fees.
The Oil Companies not owned by SE/SS would also be made to pay very heavy fines to sort out Environmental Degradation and at the slight of any Oil Spillage the companies should be closed down and until the owners pay a heavy fine of $16B.
All fights to and fro the Major Destinations in the World will originate and terminate from any of the international Airports in the east

Yeske!:
Only wished i know where the mofo works here in town, he for hear am.Anyway people like him are never important in the scheme of things. He's an anuofia as you rightly pointed out.

saintohia:



^^^^^^^^


The nonsense is getting too much, don't forget that they've been paying tax to Lagos state govt.


.

Mad Cow:

The attitude of the Yorubas towards Ndi Igbo is not the least bit surprising!

I agree that the Igbos plying their trade in ANYWHERE need to get their shiit together. I mean seriously, we cant do business like animals with zero regards for our surroundings.. (e.g Onitsha markets, Ariaria & co.), but the methodology employed by the Lagos State government is antagonistic at best. Let us also not forget that these people do pay their taxes to both the Federal, State, Local governments and other levies placed on them by other government agencies and even ALAYES & OPC. The government seems to be placing all the responsibility squarely on the traders and forgeting that they also have their role to play. I wonder why Molues that are also an Environmental and road harzard has not been harrassed like this. What about the Abatoirs that have zero health standards that litter Lagos.

LASG needs to be careful with their actions.. You can only jerk a people around for so long.

Ogbuefi_Negro: MODERATORS, LOCK THIS THREAD DOWN. BIAFRA TRIBALISTS HAVE DERAILED IT.

Wadeoye:

See their flat heads. Bakassi boys in Lagos - stupid lazy villagers. Energetic guys that should be farming in their south east villages to feed the people working in Lagos.

Send them to kirikiri with hard labour. The work they were running away from, they will do it in kirikiri.

I have told the okoro heads on this forum that we will close that market very soon. Dirty flat head creatures messing around in Lagos.

atuboweke: QUESTIONS BEGING FOR ANSWERS!!

whose responsibility is it to provide the necessary amenities in Ladipo? Govt?
whose responsibility is it to keep the external environment clean? Govt?
why dont we see kai officials in ladidpo?
what happened to all the revenue amounting to billions of naira collected from traders on daily bases?
what happened to the sanitation levy of N5000 paid by all shops?
WHAT HAPPENED TO ALL THE TAX PAID BY THIS TRADERS?
ARE THEY NOT ENTITLED TO A BETTER TREATMENT BY VIRTUE OF TAX PAYERS?
who gave the yoruba touts access to the ladipo market since it was closed down?
is it the responsibilty of the ladipo boys to clear the blocked carnal?
THEN WHAT IS THE DUTY OF THE LAGOS STATE GOVERNMENT TO THE PEOPLE OF LADIPO MARKET?
so many questions to be answered.
There is more to meet the eyes in this particular issue.

Dudu_Negro:

its not about tribe. ibo people dey idumota. why fashola no kick em out, why nobody speak against them? because those ones came to lagos back when igbo was igbo. the monkeys shipping to lagos nowadays are not igbos......they are animals, pigs and nobody want pigs in his backyard.

kettykings:

The Final Victim will be the Taxpayer in Lagos state who owns a car and the Yoruba Mechanic who services the Car , The Mechanic will find it very Difficult to get a Car part to do his work and when he gets it , it will be very Expensive and he will transfer the cost to the Average car owner who will pay thru his/her nose to have the car repaired since there is no longer an alternative to Okada. The Car owner will transfer the Aggression back to the Society by not paying the Exact tax or increasing the cost of services he/she offers to the Public , this will in turn affect the Economy of the State and lead to inflation ,poor Economic growth and lower revenue mobilization and the cycle will get back to the Lagos state Government and the Adviser / commissoner (Who gave the Governor this very poor and retrogressive idea) who is not meeting his or her target will be fired

born2fuck: Let everyone go back to his/her respective region, I spent my entirely life within the west zone, Ekiti,Ibadan,Lagos,Ogun and Osun.I have never pass my boundary, I have never been to either Hausa or Ibo land. I do not see why an Ibo in west zone raise finger that feed him. That is like point finger to the God that created you. Their days are number...FASHOLA is working
