@modath, i think you being philosophical about the whole "crazies" of a thing. You signed up for this in the first place. In here is a mixed class, remember. You have an open-ended choice.
Besides, @mayoroflagos just spilled it up which you never disregard... Wondering how better you could play 'jo'. lol!...You remember 'the events thing'... Looking like a million dollars with a game on could rake it in a little. Just tryna rub in it, much respect whatever you say, though.
The truth has spoken!

Don't think IT knows Mo isn't male , the moniker doesn't give much away ,also taking permanent residence in this misogynistic terrain makes them think all is fair in craze & war..... cheesy grin

Op,in as much as you used some very harsh words up there to describe Yorubas,most of what you said are simply the plain truth that any objective person can attest to.
The Igbos survived the after-war 20 pounds policy that affected almost 90% of them,is it now a demolition that didn't affect up to 30% of the whole Igbos in Nigeria that they can't survive?
You see,things have a way of coming back to haunt people. Who would have thought that Igbos would be one of the major players in the Economic sector of Lagos ( southwest) after Awolowo ( a southwesterner) chaired the 20 pounds policy? That's life.
These things are recorded.
There's always an option,and there's always Karma.
some of them are even calling me igbo, lolzzz. I was born and raised up in Ogbomosho. In fact I stay around ''Isale General'' very close to Teaching hospital although I am with my paddy now in Under-G.
I am a bonafide yoruba boy by birth and origin!! I use to laugh when I see all these kiddo and half caste claiming yoruba origin on nairaland. Well I have spoken

@mazeltov: Yinmu. You people are perpetual wailers. Even if dem give una till eternity to evacuate sef Una go still find something to complain about and still scream victimization.

When T.A Orji relocated some traders from Umuahia due to his desire to beautify the state capital during his tenure, some of them still complained. Obiano was attacked by many of them for enforcing a ban on street trading. Una must sha complain about something. I for one have stopped taking you all seriously.

Why are you crying and making noise over Yoruba people because they demolished your dirty ramshackle kiosks?

Btw, I thought Lagos is no man's land? Now you know Lagos is somebody's land and that somebody won't hesitate to show you the real owner of the land like they just did.


You people are hard learners, but they won't stop teaching you..

source of importation drives Lagos economy not your cheap little business......

whether you stay or go back to ur confused land..... Lagos would remain the same "centre of excellence"

I beg to differ on your view point. Importation is mostly done by igbos through the ports in Lagos, trading is mostly done by igbos through Lagos markets to other parts of the country, West Africa & Africa as a whole...

The economic relevance of Lagos would be drastically reduced if the igbos were to be asked to live town and this is because they are sole importers, traders of many of our staple items and wares which are distributed from Lagos.

Why are the Head offices of major banks in Lagos? It's simply because of the business life here. Today banks are focused on retail banking and the bank's that will thrive in this segment are the ones who are able to capture a sizeable chunk of the traders' market of which igbos make up 70-80%.

I am not an igbo person but I think it is good to give credit where due.

Bear in mind that if the sea ports in the East and South south are developed it would indicate less commercial activities in Lagos as other ports would take sizeable chunk of the ports business. I am sure you clearly know that most of our imports are not transacted by Lagosians...

Let's learn to appreciate and value each other's strengths in order to chart a brighter course for our great nation.

Stay blessed. Cheers.

I know all those places you mentioned having spent about seven years there schooling but I find it hard to believe you are yoruba cos the way u were referring to the tribe in the 3rd person so to speak. But back to the issue I as a yoruba man sympathize with those who have lost a lot actually, but when you say "shortsightedness" I think you are looking at it from your own perspective as to what favors you and your tribesmen. What you term shortsightedness might actually be about securing our own future and I mean we the yoruba pple. But still the loss of livelihood is not what I wish you or your pple

Economic relevance comes from Taxes/IGR and ability of the populace to contribute via taxes so exactly how many of the millions of unskilled and informal ibo workers/hawkers and even shop owners pay taxes?

Do you have a verifiable and credible official data to even prove their economic relevance par economic contribution via taxes? Of course you don't have anything to base your chest beating on and please don't tell me you are not ibo because you are..

lol @ 70-80 % traders in Lagos are ibo... Delusions and lies got to be part of you people's DNA structure..

You people and your delusion of grandeur. You can tell an Igbo person by their "I am not an igbo person" preamble. Why must you people always wanna feel important? If you're so important you won't have to remind everyone every frigging minute. Why don't you all just live up to your threat that Lagos needs you more than the other way round, instead of always whining and making useless noises? ? Gosh! That's how you all said Nairaland would be on the losing side and decline if you all leave, well... una wey run comot na the same una don return to the same Nairaland under different monikers. Lagos will thrive with or without Igbo traders, and you can take that to the bank. Upon all your noises SE is still a shitty a$$ mess of a place where y'all refuse to return to, yet you all brag about your imaginery importance. Like WTF? ?

If ibo traders are so important, Onitsha and Aba would be earning their respective states more GRA than Lagos and their GDP would be off the chain. Common Ebonyi state (a state without markets like Onitsha and Aba) IGR was higher than Anambra that touts itself as having the largest market in Africa. Only Imo is in the top 10 high-ranking SE state on the GDP list. Ogun and Oyo are on the list alongside Lagos, yet you don't hear them make so much noise. Abeg wetin them contribute to Kano IGR? ? They just love feeling important with themselves. hiss.
