obitwo: Walk into any blue chip company (telecoms, banks etc) in Lagos and you will find more than 50% Yorubas

They control six out of seven different sectors dominate economic activities in Lagos State, led by manufacturing which, interestingly, contributes 29.60 percent of the state’s GDP figures.

If Igbos were up to 45%, there would have at least been an Igbo mayor now. At the very least

Duru1: Moronic numbskulls such as Joe Igbokwe should be banished from Igbo land. I shall take pleasure to eliminate any Igbo peep that works with or serves under Yoruba in any capacity in an entity owned or founded by Yoruba.

ACN Lagos (Tinubu/Fasola etc) says Igbos are 45% of Lagos. How do you deal with that?

omo-Yoruba:


Hey!! Igbos are 45% of Lagos as we already know, and as confirmed by ACN Lagos. What sayest thou to that?

Virgin Finder:

As far as the Ndjigbos pay tax to the Ojo LGA and LASG. No problem. We need you to milk you.

When the land lease tenor is over, you will wake up to the grim reality.

superstar1: they are astute businessmen but sadly they are dumb and not smart one bit.

Brimmie: Fashola knows what he's doing!! He's 100% On-check!! Igbo ppl shld stop being tribalistic and view this issue like a Nigerian. Stop playing cheap politics.

Besides, Lagos won't be the first to transport ppl to their states instead of causing havoc to them selves by getting raped under the bridge, being introduced to Gang (robbers),, being used for rituals... and not causing havoc to the society by polluting it.

It is done in US.. So why crying out lord for God's sake?? I thought the Northerners were the one holding us back, i was wrong!!

[size=20]New York City, Baton Rouge and San Francisco have all tried similar programs. New York City implemented its version in 2007, flying more than 550 homeless people back to their families in places like Paris, Orlando, and San Juan (the most popular destination), according to a 2009 article in the New York Times. Homeless advocates vehemently opposed the scheme. “What we’re doing is passing the problem of homelessness to another city,” Arnold S. Cohen, CEO of Partnership for the Homeless, told the Times. “We’re taking people from a shelter bed here to the living room couch of another family. Essentially, this family is still homeless.”[/size]

Then start eliminating the ones in LASG, Sterling Bank, GTBank, Conoil, Glo, FCMB, FirstBank, Wema Bank, 90% of manufacturing companies in Lagos, Ogun and Oyo, airlines, telecoms companies, building construction etc.

Using Joe Igbokwe to pass this goodwill message once again attests to the smartness of Yorubas

dayokanu:

If your 45% dont make an Ibo win Lagos governorship then what should we call you?

nmaihat: See how the blame is being shifted to PDP as if it was PDP that bundled the Igbos to Onitsha at 3am just so they would be 'reunited' with their families.

Btruth:


........keep dreaming. Better for you to realize now that you are been deceived. ......what else do you do for a child that kept on crying for a popcorn?

......lol

ngozievergreen:

So, how many igbos contested in the Lagos elections?

The problem with u ppl is that u dont know y igbos are all over d world, lagos inclusive.
they are there to make money and not to contest for presidential elections in China or govern Sokoto.

If we have intl ports both air and water in SE, do u think we would have been interested in igbo presidency?

.
We would have been making our money from the ports so that d rest over of the country will be killing themselves over the seat.

dayokanu: And let them use their 45% power to control the politics. Once you control the politics No one would reunite you with your families in Ebonyi

If Ibos are 45% what percentage are Deltans, Calabar, Middle Belt and hausas Never mind Yorubas

They simply tell mumus what they want to hear and they swallow it

swizzle: I wonder how dumping some people in the middle of nowhere translates to reuniting them with their families. People should stop allowing emotions cloud their judgement. If some yoruba or hausa people are rounded up and dumped at a certain location in Kano or Lagos it is equally as bad. If you really want to reunite them with their families the least you can do is to liase with their state governments. PEOPLE SHOULD STOP JUSTIFYING NONSENSE. And all these yoruba people here...you people should realise that igbos contribute more to lagos than you give them credit for. I do not know if you guys ignore that fact just to be spiteful. The igbos should also not come into someone's backyard and want to claim landlord. You contribute a lot to lagos yes but you do not need to blow trumpet about that...the unbiased know this already.

superstar1:

there is a planned port for onitsha. if your govs know that that is the key, they should come together and build it. or better still, all the money you are spending other places can be pooled together to build it and name it Ndigbo State Port. Who cares. Same goes for the Airport.

if that is actually your reason for not staying in your enclave.

See, I do not have a prob with any of you, I have friends that are good family friends that are Ibos, i dont tknow where some NL Ibos got this there fake arrogant superior feelings from. these will continue to affect peoples perception opinion and view about your people. the truth is, re-orientate your people and live and let;s live.

proO1:

The lazy vultures know that, but they are too dishonest to admit it. The Lagos they are doing shakara with is ENTIRELY a product of national investment like you rightly pointed out, having long been Nigeria's FEDERAL CAPITAL until as recently as the early 1990s. This explains why the rest of the south-west (with the exception of Ondo State, lol) are largely relics of a lost age, reminiscent of pre-industrial agrarian societies. That's why they all want to claim Lagos as their birthright.

Igbo people are making the same developmental strides in Abuja, being the current FCT, with a significant number of real estate and industrial/commercial concerns owned by Igbo people. Possibly, sometime in the future, some cattle-rearers would emerge from the dusty plains of Suleja and the wilderness of Keffi to claim Abuja as their birthright and ask Igbo people there to go back to their village. Such is the madness and cruel joke called Nigeria.

ORJI UZOR KALU SHOULD FIRST APOLOGISE TO IGBOS FROM OTHER STATE THAT ABIA SACKED BEFORE ASKING FASHOLA TO APOLOGISE TO IGBOS...... I LAUGH WHEN I SEE IGBOS ON NAIRALAND SCREAMING DISCRIMINATION AGAINST IGBOS FROM OTHER NIGERIANS WHEN THEY EVEN DISCRIMINATE AGAINST EACHOTHER, EVEN IN IGBO LAND....... I KNOW THAT ANY YORUBA FROM ANY STATE CAN WORK FOR THE CIVIL SERVICE OF ANY YORUBA STATE.....THAT IS LOVE AND BROTHERLINESS, ALL YOU IGNORANT IGBOS THAT COME HERE AND BLAB RUBBISH, LOOK WITHIN YOURSELF AND STOP BEING INTERNET ADVOCATE BECAUSE YOU GET FREE GIGABYTES FROM ETISALAT

ngozievergreen:

state govt parastatals should be handled by at least 80 percent of d indigenes.

I dont have a problem with abia state cos most states at one time or d other have done so in d past.

Dont divert the topic, or are u too saying igbos wanted to be lagos guvnors or dominate their civil service? Suswam made a statement, what do u say abt that?

Are you deafhuh?..... your igbo governor of anambra state did nothing when notified...... Akwa ibom , being a responsible government accepted its citizens that were constituting nuisance in Lagos

ngozievergreen:

answer my question , are igbos in lagos to contest governorship elections or to make money?

Your fella said that wt our 45 percent, we have not produced an igbo guvnor in Lag.
Agreed, but then, which igbo man left for Lagos with elections on his mind?

swizzle:

why are you being an excited he goat?
