Young man i never intend to rub my nze title on him, but his previous quote was insinuating i wasnt igbo, so i wanted him to know i know more about my culture and traditional. Nothing threaten my interest about whatever you call Lagos is just to set the record straight and beside you got right to freedom of speech. But the true still remains and back to umunna, all igbo male can attend an umunna meeting but not all male can attend the nze na ozo meetings. PointB: 4 Likes 2 Shares |

EponOjuku: 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. |

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: 6 Likes 1 Share |

Kennydoc: 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! 14 Likes 3 Shares |

koning:We Yoruba's have established several kingdoms before the era of Binis, Portuguese etc. in Lagos let alone you ordinary people from S.Eeast. Development is measured by available concrete establishment and institutions. How many companies, road networks etc. have Igbo's brought about in Eko? No this is not fun-making, as there is nothing to point to by you Igbo's except for the houses you are allowed to build and common businesses you guys are managing. Hausa Fulani government a.k.a federal government of Nigeria can and should never old claims to developing Lagos because out of the entire revenue generated from lag is what is being paid back to Lag Govt. Remember, Ojuyobo managed Lagos without Hausa Fulani government in O.B.J's era. 4 Likes 2 Shares |

generalbush: 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 11 Likes 2 Shares |

People who say lagos is no man's land need to realise one thing. All land is vested with the governor, land in Nigeria is not freehold unless you acquired your land before 1978. When you buy property anywhere in Nigeria what you get is a certificate of occupancy or right of occupancy...it can be revoked at anytime at the discretion of the governor. In addition, all the land in oniru, lekki, ajah etc are all owned by the Obas or families as with most land in yoruba land, when you "buy" a property there all you are purchasing is a long lease...you are effectively a long term tennant. All land in Oniru is leased, the freehold is owned by the Oba/oniru family and he (or his successors) may decide at his discretion not to renew the lease. At some point the lease will expire and the land and any property you have developed on top reverts to the owners of the freehold. So carry on saying you own Lagos and developing properties your children may not inherit while your region remains undeveloped. 9 Likes 2 Shares |

vannessa7: The touts in the SE even exceed the ones within the SW. And on top of that they are more crude, aggressive, and prone to violence. Have you been to Ariaria market, Onitsha market or Ogbete market before? At least, the ones in the SW will still hail you first, before asking for money. Some will even pray for you and sing your praises, before asking you to drop something. But in the SE? Whosai? 14 Likes 3 Shares |

MrGerald: The problem you have is that you think development is limited to brick and mortar structures. Before Lagos was the Federal Capital, Calabar was the Federal Capital. Did it change anything? As I said before, keep shouting that Igbos developed Lagos, I'm 100% in support of it. It would spur the liberal Yorubas to do the inevitable. You developed Lagos, right? Let me give you a hint, go and check the recent procedure for land acquisition, excision and release by the Lagos State Government. I won't say more than that. You won't know where it would hit you or when it would hit you. 13 Likes 2 Shares |

EponOjuku: Here they come again with the useless bragging. That's how Osun state had higher IGR than the entire South East as at 2-3 years ago. Today, Osun is an IDP state. Ogun's quarterly IGR is larger than the annual IGR of the entire South East yet the state depends on FG bailout. You deserve pity. Facts on ground speak for themselves. And if you don't know, the investments happening in Ogun state today is still the Lagos factor. Companies coming into Nigeria today and even indigenous ones build their factories in Ogun, since it's extremely difficult and crazily expensive getting sizeable land for industrial purposes in Lagos now. Ogun is simply riding under the influence of Lagos. Even a cousin of mine that lived at Ketu for years, has built his house at Magboro. It's much the same way Mararaba has far more population and activities than the rest of Nasarawa State simply because it's close to Abuja. Lagos economy isn't even the economy of Yoruba alone, so there is nothing for Yorubas to sustain. I would have taken you serious if a nearly homogeneous Yoruba economy (with little influence of outsiders) like Ibadan is anything to write home about. 1 Like |

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! |

GodIsBiafran: 1. Fantasy and fantasizing is a God given right so why deny other people their fundamental human rights and the need to fantasize about what doesn't belong to you. 2. Not having anything to be proud of at home is a legitimate reason to fantasize and claim of ownership of other people's land. 3. It is a just and sane conclusion that upon the final creation of biafra, Lagos and abuja shall be joined or attached to biafraland, including all the multi nationals currently situated in Lagos state and Abuja, seaports and airports shall be moved to biafraland. 4. It is a foregone conclusion that igbo not only own Lagos and Abuja, they govern Lagos, the dominant language in Lagos is igbo, the food and culture is igbo, arts and entertainment is igbo, igbo run the corporate world in igbo, they control the legal sector, banking and finance sector and insurance and banking sector across Lagos state. Even the legislated language of discussion at the state house of assembly is igbo language. 5. All the streets, parks and Lagos state government institutions are named after igbo people. These are the realities so deal with it. 7 Likes 2 Shares |
