The guy that made that comment is a small boy, he didn't know that his kinsman invented robbery like thomas edison who invented lightbulb

kettykin:


Dr Oyenusi invented armed robbery in Nigeria, previously there wasn't anything like armed robbery in Nigeria.

I am laughing in mandarin.

Asking an Iboman not to run away from the cursed gully eroded land of alaigbo is similar to asking fish to live on land.

They ran away from other regions in 1966, they still went back, when hunger, red mud and gully erosion nearly annihilated them.

They ran away from SW during June 12, they still came back, when hunger, red mud and gully erosion nearly wiped them away.

Be rest assured if they run away again, they will still come back. As usual, it will be ten times more than they left.

Masterclass32:
Nobody is talking about about relocating the market so as to hurt the lagos economy. Anybody thinking that is wasting a lot of time. Lagos will always be lagos.

What the op is saying is, in the face of constant clashes with the agberos and constant outragoeus levies which have a negative effect on business, is it right to move the market? I think its a step in the right direction, especially after efforts geared towards resolving issues bring no lasting solution.

There's nothing wrong in having another mega market elsewhere in the country. The population of lagos is ridiculously high. A little decongestion would do.

there are mega markets in other parts of Nigeria. The problem is that they can't compete with those in lagos cos their states aren't viable enough. Most of those states are hostile. Who would want to do business as a foreigner in NE where boko haram holds sway or in SE where their own people are running away from?

The ibos need to correct certain things about themselves before they can make ahead in life. Their decisions are usually based on tribal sentiments that's why they never match up like they are suppose to do. Take a look at comments from them on this thread. They want markets moved to the SE, not only cos they want developments there, but also cos they want to hurt lagos and yorubas. Who achieves anything when his mission is filled with hate?

One of them was even saying lagos becomes empty during Yuletide because ibos travel to the SE during that period. In his deluded mind, businesses crumble cos of that effect. What he doesn't know is that companies and cooperate organisations go on break to allow their workers spend time with their families celebrating the end of the year. This reduces the hustle and bustle of lagos as traffic subsides.

What happens shortly after companies and orgs go on break is what I call a change in trend. Companies go on break to pave way for fun spots to take trend. Hotels, beaches, clubs, bars, shopping malls, cinema, amusement parks, zoo, parties, boutiques etc are the fun spot businesses that take over from companies during yuletide. These people make a hell of money as families troop in to celebrate a year's hardwork.

In his deluded mind, he feels cos an ibo man is not around to sell pirated CDs in his kiosk cos he travelled to ibo land during yuletide, then lagos economy is on a standstill. People don't buy CDs during that period as the trend shifts to viewing latest movies in 3D at cinemas.

If Nigeria becomes restructured like Ohanaeze proposed above.

Then we can successfully relocate our business to the East and leverage on the New seaports ports that will suddenly spring up in Akwa Ibom, Cross Rivers and Rivers, and we can build ours at Obuaku in the long term.

Restructuring of the country that way, will see the major bucks flowing into Niger delta, the banks like scavengers will move in to mop it up, the spending power of the area will increase, New and old companies will move to the area, creating employment opportunities, there will be a major 're distribution of population towards the region, Lagos will become de-congested and it's real estate will depreciate while the real estate business in the SS will increase.

SE can then make use of our proximity to SS( Rivers, Delta and Akwa ibom) to full advantage.

Truckloads of sense.

kettykin:


Pazenzia I quite understand the desire and benefits of Biafra
But as Biafra lingers because of the difficult steps and protocols required to achieve it .would it be wise to leave your core business in a territory that is averse to your aspirations and take all the anti business policies and blatant extortion by societal invalids, hoodlums and street urchins .
And even if biafra is achieved would it be ok to start relocating to the biafra at that time.

I suggest leaving the core businesses in the east and the peripherals in lagos and other cities such that eastern business men will come to onitsha and Aba and buy get their supplies and not the other way round.

Lagos enjoys a monopoly that was consciously and unconsciously created over centuries. As long as it continues to enjoy this monopoly, moving your business out of Lagos will be like shooting yourself on the foot, as those conditions that created Lagos monopoly won't move with you to your New location, as long as Nigeria remain structured as it is today.

If you relocate your business, you can't relocate conditions in Lagos that allowed your business to thrive, as nature doesn't make room for vacuum, you will simply be replaced by others( local and foreigners) who would utilize conditions that created Lagos monopoly and you lose out.

We can only talk of relocating our businesses to the East when we achieve any of the two pre requisites needed to ensure that the conditions that created Lagos monopoly move with us.

1 , Total restructure of Nigeria as suggested by Ohanaezehttp://www.nigeriamasterweb.com/OhanaezeDraftSubConstitutionReview.html
This is a short term option.

2. Secession from the Nigeria and establishment of Biafra. This is the long term plan.

When will all these "we will do this, we will do that" come into fruition?

We have been hearing of the Obuaku Seaport since when I was in KG school.

Be rest assured, all the multinationals will still remain in the peaceful alluring land of the yorubas, while they will only maintain skeletal regional offices in your region due to insecurity and crime.

kettykin:


The proposal arose out of the problems that blew up yesterday when street urchins who are frustrating business activities in Alaba international market and other markets in lagos tried to make things difficult for traders in Alaba through extortion.

I am aware of the countless times Ladipo market has been closed since 2009 and how many times igbo dominated markets witnessed fire incidents this year alone.

Why are some people quick to ascribe tribal connotations to everything. Fire doesn't respect anybody. If there's a fire, all the shops along its path will be affected whether it belongs to Igbo or Hausa.
It is selfish and myopic to claim that the markets are Igbo dominated. Are the patrons also Igbo dominated? In circumstances such as this, everyone suffers. The plaza management, the shop owners and customers/patrons.

DikeOha882:
When did oyenusi start his robbery?

you console yourself but that is the fact not film you watched.

If Nigeria disintegrate, does it mean igbo's or yoruba's can't do business in each others country?

when people say yorubas are cowards for not retaliating to outsiders insulting them on their lands, I just laugh.

Why do you think white men are afraid of the SS? Kidnapping and militancy.

What about the SE? Kidnapping and secession tendencies.

The NE? Boko haram

NW? Hausa-fulani backward ways


The SW and their ability to sustain peace and tranquillity is the reason their region is miles ahead of others. They don't involve much in tribalism that's why other tribes settle in their region. Attacking some noise makers will only taint the image of lagos and make it look like kano or zamfara where outsiders are getting killed. Who would want to do business there? Which white man would want to settle in a place where an albino stands the chance of getting kidnapped talkless of a real white man?

The ibos need to blame themselves for all their woes before they can move forward. Blaming other tribes won't solve anything cos majority of the pitfalls bedevilling you were caused by you. You had a good eastern region, but due to desire to oppress and lord over others, you engaged in a coup and installed one of your own as military president who abolished the regions and unified the nation. The single act of the ibo tribe has led to them losing a part of the eastern region which has now become the oil rich SouthSouth.


Imagine what you guys would have achieved with the oil rich SS had it been regionalism continued. Your quest to lord over others made you lose cos the SS have now gotten an identity of their own.

Blame yourselves for your woes...that's the way forward.

A good idea actually.
Lagos should more or less be a liason. The heavy machineries should be sold in the east.

juicee1:
they'll still need to come to lagos to shop cos that's where their imports land. . Don't get angry with God for not giving you sea.

The problem you have with yorubas because of lagos and its ports will still be experienced with the ikwerres and ijaws should PH ports come to life.

Change your attitude


I want you to know that cooperate business are beginning to move into phone and electronic businesses. These guys are setting up showrooms across the nation. Gone will soon be the days when 2by2 shops sell phones with no guarantee and promos. We now have jumia, konga, lenovo, yudala ringo etc opening outlets in different parts of lagos.

Don't hate lagos...love it.

If they hate lagos, they won't invest billions there.
It is your agberos and omo-onile that hate lagos going by their actions.

We dont need Igbo in South-West because there are more of curse than blessing. Thank God for me because I have since boycot buying anything from them. I dont even associate with them in my office. They can come to our land and do as they wish. Good day.

you are a big fool.make sure the company you,re working in ,does not belong to an igbo man

Even Atlanta downtown area to Buckhead, Midtown and Atlantic Station areas are lifeless during Christmas. You will be scared when you go to this areas and not meet a soul. And these are people who don't travel homes for Christmas, they do only for Thanksgivings. This is one reason why I will never live in the suburbs.

juicee1:
what makes lagos lifeless during that period is because businesses(companies) go on break which reduces traffic as majority are either seated at home enjoying with their families or at fun spots.

It is highly delusional to think lagos becomes lifeless only because ibos travelled to the SE to enjoy yuletide.

Companies usually give their staffs holiday about 2weeks to christmas. That alone crumbles activities, not only in lagos but other states in nigeria and the christian world over.

Come on, it's the end of the year. Do you expect people to still be wearing that hustle and bustle face of lagos? They need to relax at home.

You're making sense until this.

The touts are already trying to make Lagos inhospitable by harassing traders and if it's left to fester without being curtailed on time, they won't have any other options except to relocate to a safer zone.

It's getting boring debunking you lots lies.

In pre colonial Nigeria, the SE/SS Nigeria was relatively more peaceful than SW and the North. Kiriji and Jihad didn't take place in SE/SS, the people of the region though made up of hundreds of different ethnic groups had grown to co exist in relative Peace.

In Post independence Nigeria, religious and political crisis and unrest were only taking place in the SW( operation wetie) and the North( Jos and Tivs riots), the SE/SS were again in relative peaceful condition.

The only times the SE/SS region experienced unrest had always been in resistance to internal and External exploitations, external by the British which resulted in Agha ekumeku of western Igbos, Aro-British battles, Jaja and the British face off, etc, and internal exploitation by the Arewa-Odua which led to Biafra war.

The same Arewa-Odua exploitation led to militancy in the SS. Civil Unrest in the SS/SE has always been in response to internal/ external exploitation, those in the SW/ North had been more about tussle for power and quest for dominance.
Once the internal exploitation going on in SS is removed by restructuring the country like Ohanaeze suggested, the current civil unrest in the region will disappear, as historical antecedents tells us.

Even at that, current stats show the SW to be the crime capital of Southern Nigeria, onenaira3 once opened a thread on that, onenaira3 please help me post a link to that your thread here.

As for the rest of your post, I am done debunking those lies of "Igbo coup", you can knock yourself out with them.

Ndiigbo are all over the world, not just SW. The world belongs to adventurers, not the timid that sit in the comfort of their homelands.

Despite our adventure spirit, Igboland remain far ahead of SW in human development indices.

You are so pathetic. Your fathers fought for one Nigeria, one nigeria u get. Igbos will never leave lagos as long as we remain one Nigeria. If you want to have lagos for urself, then start agitating for Oduduwa republic, but if u have no courage for that, then shut up and manage your one Nigeria with Igbo.

Envy and jealousy is the root of your problem

Stop all these development talk and go replicate same in alaigbo.....why are you people like this? You are now a nuisance and irritant to the rest of the country.

is there no shame anymore amongst the Jews of Nigeria?

On a more serious note, we want IBO to leave as we are tired and our infrastructure is under serious pressure.

its either Ibos leave or something snaps pretty soon, I can feel it and its palpable. Yorubas can be brutal in sectarian crisis.

tonychristopher:



Let us wait till Christmas break o

Christopher you keep shouting Christmas break-Christmas break but you fail to realise that many Lagosians (not only the igbos) usually travel out of Lagos only to return after the festive. To put your theory to test let's try it by this year end, let the igbo traders ALL stay put in the east till end of March 2016 and see who will suffer more. There's nothing an igboman does that a Yorubaman or other Nigerian for that matter is not capable of. Do you know about the Lebanese in the '60s, '70s and early '80s in Lagos and Ibadan, they dominated the trade you're proud of now then, but where are they today? Igbo are traders and anybody can be, the problem started when the sensible Governments of Tinubu/Fashola started collecting Tax from all businesses (not igbo owned alone) and workers in Lagos. Take your wares to your region and enjoy tax-free regime.

wisdomguy4u:

I am appalled at the sight of the present generation of ibos who are now begging to stay in Yoruba land. Ojukwu and nnamdi KANU will curse and spit at you lot for disgracing the ibos this way. Its now apparent that you are the beggars of Nigeria attaching by force to the yorubas even though you hate them.

NL ibos should cover their face in shame as you have been disgraced for the past 24 hours here by the Yoruba's.

We don't want you in our land, is it by force? IBO boys r on every street selling gala in traffic and this runs contrary to the claim of ibos online that they are wealthy people.

Even the Hausa's that you love to taunt are in their region doing dignified jobs. I can't believe what I have discovered for the past 24 hours. Ohaneze must hear this!

Why should Igbo's leave Lagos or Western cities?
