^^^^ For the simple reason that ibos always allude the success of Lagos to themselves ONLY as if they are the only ethnic group aside yorubas, in the city.

Stop being clever by half and diverting attention from the very obvious...

"For Lagos State, more than 70% of the manufacturing concerns and major industries in the State are owned by the Igbos. If the Igbos were to stop paying tax in Lagos State, the IGR of Lagos State will reduce by over 60%. In contrast, Sir, go to the South East and look at the manufacturing concerns in Onitsha, Aba and Nnewi. Please don't forget those were areas ravaged by civil war a mere forty something years ago. The Igbos have certainly made tremendous progress but the Yoruba nation has regressed. I wish to state that this letter is not meant to whip up primordial considerations or ethnic sentiments but just to put things in proper perspective."

epistle LOONEY

You've and your cowardly Yoruba folks have got no balls at all, that's why your Fulani masters continual treat you leaders as scums of the earth.

Hagm0nd:
the ones that flogged your eze ndigbo in akure are urhobo?
think before you talk

Last year 2015 the Fulani herdsmen after kidnapping and releasing Olu Falae from their detention warned him that if he talks carelessly they would come kidnap him again. And some days later an Almajiri like Kwankwaso came all the way from Kano, assembled cowardly Yoruba leaders in Ibadan only to tell them to "Shut up!"

And a couple of months ago in this 2016 your masters went berserk on the streets of Lagos maiming, killing and destroying properties of your Yoruba folks for fun.

What an affront on loud-mouthed Yorubas like you!

Hagm0nd:
I won't respond to the 'known lunatic'

Frustrated spawn of a fallen demon ranting senselessly and without manners...

StOla:
So why did Peter Obi of Anambra relocate destitutes from Ebonyi and Akwa Ibom back to their state of origin, and this happened before Fashola's action?

No state government likes to have destitutes on its streets. Like Peter Obi, like Fashola.

So what is good for the goose is not good for the gander.

When a market in Oshodi was recently demolished and the Yoruba owners of the shops moved on, their Igbo tenants were crying allover that they were beingvictimised for being Igbo, despite the market being populated by majority Yoruba.

It has always been the curse of the immigrant to think that their host would suffer in the wake of their exit. Immigrants in USA, UK, France, Germany etc feel the same way, so it is no surprise Igbos feel the same about Lagos or Kano.

The mistake every immigrant tribe make is that once you leave, another ethnic grouping will fill the void. You do not contribute anything unique. You are there because you need to be there for greener pastures, not because you were implored to come render any help.

You will not be missed.

I don't blame you entirely. It's this fraudulent union that gave you Yorubas the guts to rant carelessly and senselessly against the Igbo Nation.

Over the decades in the South-West, the Yorubas have systematically burnt Igbo shops as a guise to hijacking the markets from Igbos. 

Shops are demolished without compensation and someone will still say the traders were given sufficient notice of vacation as if the alternative is affordable. The proposed alternative shops are oftentimes so exorbitant and out of reach by the common man.

Igbos are made to develop barren locations and thereafter chased away to an undeveloped area or a complex beyond the reach by the common man. 
Many a time the destruction of shops are selectively done exempting where Yorubas sell agbo, weed and fake medicine just like in Oshodi where Electronic shops belonging to Igbos were demolished.

It takes a callous government to destroy livelihoods just to justify beautification of a city at the expense of people's economic empowerment.


Igbos travel to Lagos to take advantage of Yoruba visionlessness, docility and gross ineptitude. About a century ago the Europeans competed amongst themselves in trooping to Africa.
That's business acumen and economic expansion at work!

You need to enrol in Business 101 to grasp the reason the Chinese, Lebanese, Indians, Americans and Italians troop to Lagos to create opportunities and conquer the land.

If you can't take it no more consider taking a walk to Ojota Motor park and board a bus back to your Oshogbo enclave!

You lots claim Yorubas had empires that cut across Nigeria, Togo and Benin. Why are the Yorubas in these countries not outstanding to project the countries to limelight?

Lagos and some other parts of Yorubaland in Nigeria are doing well because of the midal touch of Igboness.

It takes a determined and industrious people to leave their immediate environment and venture into a distant land and conquer it. A bunch of parasitic creatures would rather lazy around in their neighbourhood and depend on their parents for their survival. 

You can see the result in the number of street urchins and area boys being bred by the Yorubas in the name of 'sophistication'.

We live in a global village that's why you see the Igbos, Chinese, Lebanese, Indians, Americans and Italians journey to Lagos to conquer the land.

Be weaned from your parents and try venturing out so you can compete with other people.

Stop whining, weeping and wailing on every available media page at the mere mention of Biaf... It's pathetic already!

You're pained that the Igbos would come into Lagos and out-compete you to your shame and chagrin. And now your unbridled greed led you to sell off your father's lands to the ever industrious Igbos and becoming tenants.

Kamoru, leave Lagos for Lagosians! Lagos is not your father's property. Lagos was developed with the crude oil from another's backyard coupled with the sweats and bloods of tribes in Nigeria.
If you can't take it go back to your Oshogbo enclave.

Stop being tied to the aprons of your parents and go hustle outside. Then you'll be able to find an idea you can live and die for.

Hagm0nd:
see this pained man
what part of Lagos was developed with oil money the port your economic survival depends on.
who built niger bridge,if you so hate the 3mb blow it up
we are proud of our cities because majority of ibos will fight mind body and soul to trade and live in ibadan ,osogbo,akure etc than to stay back in alaibo and don't deny the fact we have clips showing how your ezendigbo are flogged all over the sw.
when the time comes una eyes go clear,remember the pogrom that how you provoked it.

When a people out of cowardice pledges allegiance to slavery, the choice of freedom of expression becomes an aberration! 

"By the time the Europeans came, even the Yoruba people, did not even learn how to live with each other, they were fighting and all over the north, they were fighting everywhere, there were tribal wars."
I just remember only recently the Yoruba leaders said they want to break, break from where. The Yoruba are probably the people who economically enjoy Nigeria more than anybody, economically. So why are they going?"

You people need to stop fooling yourselves. If igbos own 70% of investments in Lagos, where will you place the Yorubas who own the land, the Hausas like dangote, other Nigerians and most especially the multinationals? Do you think owning 2 by 2 shops equates to controlling the investments of a state?

I believe you typed that junk from Aba. Pls, reason.

Ogbeni, you Yorubas should stop fooling around in your hypocrisy. You need to do the needful in going to meet Adebayo Adeyinka who made the statement.

I wonder how frustrated hawkers of Agbo ópá èyín and şépè would be grandstanding carelessly against the ever industrious Igbo Nation.

StOla:
If you remember the cries from the SE when Fashola relocated destitutes to Anambra, having already done same to other regions without similar reaction, then your question was already answered then.

When you take candy from a kid, you should expect tears.

Take Lagos away from Igbos that claim Lagos need them, expect all manner of wailing and begging.
