Very on point. You cannot believe the number of these Yoruba families I'm helping to feed in Lagos. Most of them from Ondo, Osun and Ekiti. Almost everybody working on my properties are Yoruba. From the Bricklayer, the Mason, Carpenter up to the project supervisor. They don't have any basis whatsoever to complain about the Igbos. They should rather be grateful.

That Owo Iyaloja is paid mostly by Igbo traders.
Just keep the lies up, I am listening.

It is U igbos that think you're better than any tribe and hate us.

Anyone who is busy making money has no time for hate. It's rather yoruba who hate our guts, our audacity, and outspokenness. Fortunately, we give it back to you as Newton stated : Action and Reaction are equal and opposite!

Lagos is no man's land. even a prominent lagos indigene said it, that lagos belong to binis. all those yoruba from osogbo should go back to their rural slums. we developed lagos from when it was water and sand to what it is now, so we have the bragging right.
Igboman from ebonyi, which one should we take now. No man's land or bini land. Are you this daft. Oops, sorry, I should have known, if obiano a whole governor can have a daft brain, how much more you the youth. Beside, why confusing yourself. No man's land or bini land, which one?

Young man, am from the east and a red cap title holder (an nze). Just because a place was a former capital doesn't make it no mans land and it be of an advantage to the yoruba because of the mindset you keep developing lagos and neglecting the east. Try and check the meaning of no man's land.

Bro, abeg leave stories for the god. Anyone can claim Nze or any title online, with doggy proofs. If truly you are what you claimed you are, you'll know being and Nze does not elevate your voice far and above others in gathering of Umunnas. So please keep your title under your armpit, it's of no consequence here in cyber.

As per matter at hand, anyone can call any city whatever he feels especially under the anonymity of cyber. Situation on ground may be differ, but you cannot rob a man of his opinion because it threatens your interest.

Again my dear 'Nze', Lagos is "No Man's Land." I have goggled the meaning, but I do not care. Calling Lagos No Man's Land to the consternation of some simpletons is a way of telling them that I reserved the rights to exercise my freedom of speech without let or hindrance.

I don't have to be politically correct cos someone feels his ox has been gored, when it aint so.

If Igbo's didnt develop Lagos, then who did?


Is it our father's who keep shouting Owo da at every bustop,

Or our mothers who sell Alomo and Agbo that will develop it??

Nawa ooo ... Lol
lol...We have massive industries.Massive private educational sector,massive Information,Communication and Information sector etc.Which of these do the Igbos claim to develop Lagos with?Are they talking about fanyogo,gala etc?This is how we roll
https://www.nairaland.com/3918290/yorubas-most-industriousrichest-educated-tribe
as we continue to grow Lagos not with baby factories,rituals,drugs and crimes Igbos are known for.The truth is Yorubas/Lagos made Igboland or are they saying that they developed Lagos with their 2×2 shops,fanyogo etc.These people are gigantic clowns,I must say.Yorubas control Lagos and Nigeria's economy and your envy can only leave your heads more flatter than before.

I very much doubt if you are Igbo with this azz-licking and ridiculous heading. You could simply ask Igbos to invest in Igbo land without having to bring up the issue of Lagos into it.

Lagos has never been a Yoruba Land. 97% of Yorubas in lagos are immigrants just like the Igbos, Hausas, Binis and other SS peoples. It is and will always remain a cosmopolitan entity for the entire nation. Yorubas are more in Lagos because of the proximity of core Yoruba states to Lagos.

Igbos are many there because of our ubiquitous and adventurous nature.

Igbos should invest more in Igbo states. I agree. But that has nothing to do with Lagos being 'no man's land'. Stop sucking up to Yorubas. that is if you are actually Igbo.

If you say Lagos has never been Yoruba land, it shows that you know absolutely NOTHING about the history, origin and culture of Lagos. Even a child in kindergarten who lives within the city, would not make such asinine comments.

Saying Lagos is "No man's land" does not in anyway means we are neglecting the East/Homeland. The idea is to maximize the benefit of Lagos to develop the East.

We must not lose sight of our contributions in Lagos, yet we must capitalize on the gains of those contribution to develop our homeland. We can't just pack up and leave Lagos, nor can anyone run us out of our investments in the growth Lagos. That's why we say "Lagos is No Man's Land." And that's what it will remain in the foreseeable future if Nigeria continue to exist as it is now!

Oga, cut the crap. angry You people say Lagos is a no man's land, simply because you want to spite the indigenes of Lagos, their cultural siblings and other ethnic groups living there. sad

And by saying so, you create enmity between the indigenes, those who share cultural affinity with them and others from different ethnic groups like mine, who have lived there for ages. undecided This is because the Lagos indigenes and Yorubas, then end up viewing the rest of us from other places with hostility and suspicion, even though we have nothing in common with Igbo people like you, who make such asinine statements! Don't make life difficult for others, with your clueless remarks, biko.

Some of us value good relations with our neighbours, even if the rest of you do not. Can you repeat this trash about Lagos being a no man's land in the heart of Olowogbowo, Onikan or Isale Eko?

I don't see people going about offline calling Lagos No Man's Land. Most of these banters are online.

Thank you for the comment: Here is simple explanation for the strive:

We the Igbos are very great people and maximum risk takers. The Yorubas are also great people.

We (Igbos) belief the best place to crack the egg is that at the Big End (we love to hit it big), but the Yorubas say they are very sophisticated. They think the egg should be cracked at the small end, they like playing small little tricks. But we have refused to do it their way, and they refuse to do it our way.

So we continue to fight!
