PointB:



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.

EponOjuku:
On the contrary, I don't want Igbos to stop calling Lagos no-man's Land and I'll state my reasons.

Yorubas welcomed Igbos with an open hand and returned their abandoned properties after the war. Meanwhile, Igboid groups in present-day Rivers and Bayelsa states refused to return confiscated Igbo properties.

Nigerians from all ethnicities come to Lagos, live, trade, work, build and retire here. However, Igbos ignored the landowners and contributions of everyone and are selfishly but are foolishly claiming they developed Lagos.

The problem some Igbos have is that they have short memories. They've forgotten that as at when the Portuguese landed in Lagos, they had not yet finished trekking from Isreal or wherever they were downloaded from.

Yoruba are very welcoming and accommodating but won't tolerate nonsense. When these Igbos started this noise, we warned the liberal Yorubas but they said we were paranoid. Now, a lot of Yorubas are seeing the hate and bitterness that Igbos wish upon us and are now waking up.

During the last LG elections, all LG seats in Festac, Ojo Alaba, Amuwo and other areas with large Igbo population were collected and are firmly in the hand of Yorubas. In 2019, we're collecting our seats from those Igbos representatives and HOA members.

The environmental sanitation is presently political. When we're through with that, we move to other areas. By the time we ban gala and Fan yogo hawking in Lagos and the economy of a whole Igbo state crumbles cos of that, maybe you'll have sense.

Let Igbos keep calling Lagos No man's land, it serves to wake up the consciousness of liberal Yorubas. Mind you, the quiet Yoruba man is the most dangerous. The revolution would not be televised.

meforyou1:
house of rep member in lagos - igbo. house of assembly member in lagos - igbo. very soon, we will win governor of lagos. and nothing you or your brothers from osogbo can do about it

Kennydoc:


Quit your useless bragging cos you're no different from the Igbos that claim Lagos.

While I disagree that Lagos is a no man's land, I will maintain that Igbos and all other ethnic nationalities are extremely important in sustaining the economy of Lagos. Lagos is what it is today because of the population and infrastructure it has, and they both have a positive feedback effect on each other. That's why a multinational company entering Nigeria for the first time will rather site their office in Lagos than elsewhere.

The same way Lagos is important to Igbos, Igbos are also important to Lagos. Take all Igbos away from Lagos and watch the economy of Lagos become terribly stunted, cos Yorubas alone CANNOT sustain the economy of Lagos.
The success of Lagos is akin to the success of the United States. Concentrate some of the best of several nationalities and ethnicities under a good infrastructural and social environment, and see overwhelming development in every sector.

koning:
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.

generalbush:
Lol

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

PointZerom:



Back to sender...I am not a lazy man my dear.

I am a dealer in plumbing materials and tiles. Only here to attack those that are insulting Igbos and Ndi Igbo in general.


Only if you know how many people that are in my monthly pay roll. .......pls try another joke.

vannessa7:
There is no part of Nigeria where they don't have agbero, motor park tout, I have been to that your east several times and I saw their owoda people just like it is in Lagos, they also have conductors in the cities even in the north, when an igbo man come to Lagos newly they settle among the low class, ghetto people where accommodation is cheap and they now use them as yardstick for all Yoruba, I'm tired of hearing you don't act like Yoruba because they expect me to talk and act in a certain way just like the ghetto Yoruba's they are used to, and as for that landlord meme of igbo versus Yoruba land lord, it's an illusion, keep believing it if it makes you and your pained fellows sleep at night, and I will truly believe Lagos is no man's land if there is no mass exodus of your people to your forest villages this December, nonsense

Look at what is happening ibo land,no industry, no thing,and deserted.

What a shame

MrGerald:
Stop saying what you don't know, Lagos development was/is as the fact one time capital territory and collective efforts of all Nigerians/foreigners, tomorrow people of Abuja who are no where to be found will be claiming they own or build abuja after all the fg could do is to focus all developmental projects there.

laudate:


Wha-a-at?? You don't mean it!! I thought they said the SE was the Japan of Africa, more successful and more prosperous than all the rest of southern Nigeria combined....Chukwu biko!

Zuluhead:
I wouldn't start arguing with you over it because i quoted i was born and bred in Lagos you thought i wasn't igbo. I just wanted you to know am igbo and an nze and know my custom and traditionals, which i have a flair for and any city or country i travel to i try to learn a bit of their custom and tradition. If you like keep shouting lagos is no mans land and keep developing their neighboring States. From lekki to ajah to epe (ogun state) . Keep developing from ikorodu into ogun state and from badagry into ogun state and tomorrow you shout ogun state is no man's land.

leezzz:
bro u are not igbo
even efulefus dont make ur kind of comment

EponOjuku:


If you had commonsense, you'll realize that Igbos are inconsequential in the scheme of things.

Ogun State's quarterly IGR is more than the annual IGR of all SE states put together. How much did Igbos contribute to Ogun State?

Why didn't they provide an enabling environment for businesses to thrive in their region? Their visionless leaders steal their states blind and invest in Lagos and you're saying they contribute to Lagos? Are you aware that the areas occupied by Igbos in Lagos pay the least taxes? Go and check LIRS statistics.

The Japanese alone sustain the economy of Japan, the French sustain the economy of France, The Yorubas alone would sustain the economy of Lagos. Deal with it!

laudate:

Ekwensu! Because he simply spoke the truth which upsets you, now you want to deny him his heritage? Why are you so devoted to deceit and lies?

Stop lying
People that have so many people on their payroll don’t have the luxury of time to spend virtually a whole day on a non productive dicckk measuring thread like this on NL, you will see them in the Investments and properties sections

PointZerom:



Lol, what are you doing here?.

If you need tiles and plumbing materials pls contact me, a trial will convince you.

lowaist101:
The truth is that the Yoruba run Lagos but originally Lagos belongs to the people of Benin and brothers Awori. one eminent Lagosian said, all the major areas in Lagos Island came from Benin Language. Years ago, dead Lagos kings were taken to Benin for Burial. Some people own Lagos!

ProWalker:

Where are you located ? Can you supply items to isheri north GRA?

GodIsBiafran:
My people lets stop saying this nonsense. Orji Kalu started this rubbish - as a political plow to distract from his abysmal failure in Abia state. If you like say this thing a million times - It does not change the reality that Yorubas run Lagos. Have you lived in Lagos? I lived there for many years, so I know what I am talking about.

We need to stop all this nonsense and concentrate on building and developing the SE. All this time we have been shouting Lagos is no man's land where has it gotten us? Biko lets buy sense! If we concentrate our efforts and divert more of our resources back home, with 2 decades the SE will become the envy of not just other regions but of the entire African continent.

Mods, Please take this to front page so I can have this discussion with my brothers and sisters. Thank you.
