around where in lagos, i am in makoko now

hei ! See all these ijebu people, we give them small chance and they want to take over, so oba rilwan akiolu is ijebu? Ijebu people are found towards the outskirts of lagos, it's funny when everyone is claiming lagos, even someone 4rm atakunmosa & ibarapa is claiming lagos!

How many Igbo people are there in Lagos? 5 million? The Federal government counted 25 million people in the 5 Igbo states, and even then they gave Aba a population of 500,000 which is rubbish so there's even more, so where does the notion of people not enjoying the south east come from? Slum? If south eastern Nigeria is a slum, the rest of Nigeria is for rubbish.

My point is simple. Let's say we ranked each state by raw #s of people immigrating per year. Lagos, Rivers, Delta, Abuja will all be highly positive. SE zone would be negative.

I'm not calling the SE a slum. My point is, Lagos cannot be that bad if it attracts so many people. Nobody moves from the frying pan into the fire 

Even if they leave their village to move to a slum in Lagos. . . well, doesn't that suggest that even the slum offers them a better life than their village and state?

i love this desola , we need more yorubas like her in nigeria to notice our efforts and hardwork, unfortunately she does not even reside in nigeria. its important that igos dominate all the commercial and important cities in nigeria  like onitsha, nnewi,aba, abakiliki,portharcourt and those outside their region like lagos,abuja  and kano.

That to me is impressive, lol. Third generation Lagosian, wife is Yoruba, your kids probably with at least one Yoruba name, probably have lived most of your life in Lagos. For all I know, your wife is my cousin. Yet we appear to be on opposite teams.

Heh, kind of weird

Woof! Woof!! You sly dog! So you were able to nab our daughter to produce an OOduaite? Smart ibo boy. We shall consider you for citizenship but be sure to drop that yeye Igbo name and adopt Akande or Ajani otherwise, no show for you.

My point is. . . slum or no, people from all over Nigeria, heck, West Africa seem to be voting with their feet and moving to Lagos. And they've been doing this for 80+ years now. So it cannot be that bad a city (at least compared to the alternatives), slum or no. Otherwise, presumably people would move out elsewhere. 1 million+ population growth per year should tell you it is quite superior to the alternatives.

Quit shifting the goal posts. The argument was that if Lagos was a slum, then the SE will be a more bigger slum.

We weren't talking of their economic importance. Maybe I need to quote you.

Desola:

Where is their rightful place? Right now, the whole of SW Nigeria is happy to accomodate them but they need to understand who the master is, that's all i'm asking. Don't overstep your boundry and just be content that we are fair master and don't agitate us.

Its all about tactics, darling. We use soft power not hard power. You have to be smart to use them and not make them know it. Let them feel relaxed basking in their mirage of taking over Lagos. As long as they continue to pay taxes and bring those containers through Apapa, we're cool. We don't mind them so long as we can use them which gives us the ability to globe trott. You get me?

So now you are happy to accomodate us?  You promise in 5mins you won't demand that will get the hell out of Lagos?  Well since our royal Amu lover has spoken, I believe Igbos living in Lagos are safe.

Nah, it's not a slum, just a desert which equates a barren land and example of the barren tree which had to be cut down because it bore no fruit. Nothing good can come out it

You be certified were alaso

Confirm mad 'Ijebu' girl.

So long you behave yourselves and know who rules the roost.

You are good for business for now but when you reach menopause, we'd have to reconsider.

Kindly quote me, show me where I called the SE a slum. Point is simple. . . slum or not, Lagos appears to be a far more desirable place to live than the SE. At least if immigration is any indication. . .

Funny enough, ibo people brought slum to Lagos and they live in the same slums like Ajegunle, Alaba and Orile.

And their dirty spare parts shanties they call stores? Utter trash,

Yes, we live in those places, but some of us will be moving to the new Eko Atlantic City.  Eko Ni Baje, thanks to Fashola his numerous Igbo sponsors.

i heard dat when u guys go home at xmas u impress d village girls by speakin yoruba true?

Because SE is a region with many states and Lagos state is just one state. Btw, what's that got to do with desirability? Talk about backward and ignorant logic,

i heard that as well but i have not seen it before unless the ones that use slangs like eko o ni baje, lagosboy etc

Err, lol. Norway is less populated than Ghana. Does that suggest that the latter is more desirable to live in than the former? 

My brother-in-law, your logic needs to be sharper than that

Keep working hard and keep paying dem taxes, we got many roads, schools and bridges to build with your money.
