I take it that ika people are ibo in ur head? figment of your imagination.
If not you won't include zenith and UBA in ur list.
Hakeem Bello Osagie would soon be ibo with this people encroachment.
the people don't want to be ibo and they don't claim ibo.

Same for nduka obaigbena and thisday.

List ibo owned companies with people from ebonyi, anambra, Enugu, imo and abia.
is that too hard to ask for?
kaish.

nnenna.1:


The starter of this thread is a Yoruba trying to undermine Igbo contribution to Lagos.

Not that I disagree with you...I'd rather Igbo investments be situated in the East rather than be in a place where they are apparently unappreciated or undermined (going by the purpose of this thread).

nnenna.1:
Who told you that the UBA heads are Ika?

And what makes you think that Jim Ovia or Nduka Obiagena don't Identify as Igbo?

Have you met them to know this for a fact?

mugumugu:

Do you see them running around with ibo.
u just like claiming people who don't claim u.

Ika and Ndokwa is less than 2million strong and it nigerdelta.
why not tell us about the "ownership" of the 30+ million strong ibo from Enugu, imo, abia, anambra and ebonyi?

nnenna.1:
What if I said yes, based on my own personal knowledge?

Well let me end it here.

never_say_never: Wow, another "na we get lagos" by igbos. I'm just suprised that in this age some people still term a city in Nigeria as "no man's land". Shior, at least let lagos produce an igbo local government chairman or better still igbo governor, then we'll know what's up.

IGBO-SON:


^^^Learn to shut up when you have nothing to say! Direct your angst at the bigot that opened the thread!

If Igbos were to start getting actively involved in the 'local' politics of Lagos (like the Hausa/Fulani are doing in Plateau state), you'd be the first to complain and say 'these 'Igbos' sef and their expansionist tendencies'!

TribalEAST: Over the years, i've heard southeasterners claim that they run the economy in lagos and that if they should pull out of the state the economy will collapse in no time. To buttress their claim, they field markets like ladipo, aspamda, alaba international etc.

An economy consists of three sectors: the primary, secondary and tertiary sectors. The above markets fall in the primary sector category, which is also shared by other tribes in nigeria. Multinationals like Lever bros, smithkline beecham, nestle, cardbury's, manufacturing industries, banks, shopping malls, telecommunications, media(TV, Newspapers, radio, internet) etc all fall in the secondary sector while the tertiary sector is controlled by the government of the state which provides a larger part of transportation, education, security, import and export, tax, agricultural etc.

A well reasoning nigerian would know that without a state government with good governance, the secondary sector wont deam such a state fit to invest in and without the secondary sector (a sector that employs majority of graduates and attracts people to a particular location) the primary sector would hardly exist or thrive to survive leaving people to find such a state to be with less opportunity, a good reason why people migrate to greener pastures.

Sentiments apart...eko o ni baje o!

Ikengawo: i find it funny that most non igbo believe most igbo are traders because they see so many. traders = young poor igbo men. In other tribes this class of people are agberos, beggars, and thieves. Every company and sector you've listed is packed with ndigbo + the ones they themselves own and have started.

dayokanu: What Dangote companies alone contribute to the economy of Lagos is more than what any Ibo headed company contribute

And We havent heard hausas own lagos or Hausa claim Lagos is No mans land

fresh_dude: This should be post of the year. When do we hear hausas screaming that they own Lagos or control its affairs? And their investments run into trillions. I mean what the fcck is wrong with these akpu people?
No class, no culture, no civility. Just joro jaara jo. Ah ah, wetin sef!

Randerl: to awon bros dey 4d bottom of d ladder for the economy. Ordinary traders.

ilugunboy:

Truth is people that knows Lagos hardly take them serious for a second....it's in their DNA to act that way.....humility is not wired in them.


Abdul Samad Rabiu, Aliko Dangote and Gen TY Danjuma investments in Lagos far out weight the combined Ibo investment in the whole of SW.

You never see their people making noise that they own Lagos nor show about the extent of their investments in Lagos.

I don't bother about them....just laugh off their naïveté and stupidity at the same time.

Segeggs: ^^^@Igbeke is a liar. Confirm ibo man

Kingspin:
The igbos dnt have any superpowers or superhumans but collective men and women that are hardworking. Even though some of them you mentiond were politically made rich. Most of them touched oil, stole, passed and made it through the oil. Who are the owners of these oil blocks? Is a question cos 40yrs in power gave them the advantage and thats has been the injustices done to the oil states especially after the war. A policy of the winner takes it all which is gradually changing hand after 40yrs and they're not happy and fighting to retain injustice.They should have use their brain though like Bill Gates and the richest man in SouthAfrica who is into financial business to be mighty richer. Mind you it small business aka sole proprietorship businesses that turn around of any nation's economy. And assignment pls go and ask your economics teacher first, becos I dnt believe in monopoly. So take it easy the money is not yours or mine by the way. Note: We want an economy were so many winners would emerge at the end.

igbeke:
if u must kno, I am SS.
is dat settled?
so can u prove my claims wrong concerning d Igbos?

ilugunboy:

You missed the point entirely .....I am not questioning how they made their money. My point is with all the riches of these men from other parts of Nigeria but have made Lagos home, how come they are not shouting on the roof top about how they are the one controlling the economy of Lagos or that Lagos is a no man land.

Am sure their stakes in Lagos should ordinarily put them in good stead to boast far more than Ibos if there should be any reason whatsoever to do such.

Moral of my story. The Ibos in Lagos should be humble like other people that have been making Lagos a city that never sleep.

ifyalways: We can ignore them trolls,yes?
Let them ccook and feast alone. They'll get bored when no one attends their sour party.

Odunharry,You want some amala and ewedu? abi na the triplet wey i wan give Musiwa dey trip you?
