Well, just wanted you to know that Igbos played a big part in building Lagos state. I don't know the rate of real estate investments by Igbos, but from my judgement, they are of great deal. I alone have homes and few ware houses in Lagos state. In Banana iseland, where my last investment is, Igbos own majority of the lands there. I also know some areas where Igbos have bought up most lands in Lagos state. So, I feel Igbos invest pretty much in Lagos state.

That being said, Lagos is way more attractive than most Northern, SW and SE states. So, I expect that people that are asking why Igbos don't invest in SE should ask why Yorubas from Ondo, Ekiti, Osun, Oyo etc don't do same in their states.
It is about strategic importance and attractiveness of a place. Lagos have built a reputation as an important investment point, so the huge investment by Nigerians should not be a basis of asking questions about why they don't invest in their home states.

Don't blame eko ile and co they knw the damage an international sea port in the se/ss would do to the lagos and the sw economy!!!

how did this thread become igbo this yoruba that

eko ile, i think u should be happy that it is happening in the east

ekt_bear:

Hehe. I should have followed the example of everyone else on this thread, and simply ignored the mo.r.on known as Beaf.

After all, if there is anything that requires intelligence to discuss, what is the point of including him in the discussion?

He is a fool, an i.d.iot, a phony, a fraud, a fake.

Anyway, I'll follow the example of everyone else in this thread and refrain from interacting with this halfwit named Beaf.

@Justcash:

My brother. Buying a piece of land and building a home on it is not "single-handedly" building Lagos. What does that even mean? You aren't buying the land and building it for a charity, yes? It is an investment opportunity. And key word is opportunity.

So you mean to tell me that if someone gives you an investment opportunity, you are the one doing them a favor? Rather than vice versa?

If my buddy gives me a stock tip and I make a killing off it it, the corporation I profited from is the one doing me a favor?

Let me rephrase the questions below;

If a poster posts a message which contradicts your thoughts, wouldn't it be common sense to face that particular poster instead of labelling a whole people negatively?

So if I post something about lagos that u don't agree with, instead of facing me, you label Ndigbo with such derogatory words and sentences which really is awful? Do u know the thoughts of other Igbos to do such? Do you know whether they disagree with me or not?

Why should a whole ethnic group be vilified cos of disagreements with a member of that ethnic group?

ekt_bear:

Anyway, long story short. . . don't tell anybody you "built" a land.

If you did so out of charity rather than the desire to make a profit, fine, you can then claim that.

We have some states here in the US that are economically unattractive but the FG sinks money into them. Those states, one can say that they are being "developed" by the FG.

But Lagos? A city that has been a prominent port since the 1700s? A city the British chose as their seat of government in Nigeria?

That is the one you want to claim you "built"? A city that you only enter to make profit?

Very silly reasoning.

@dem_people: I'm not vilifying anyone's ethnic group, I don't think. I'm just setting the record straight. It is very arrogant for someone to claim they built someone else's city/territory.

And in this case wrong, since it wasn't as if they did it for free.

Anyway, let everyone who wants to have a port have one.

But let every port stand on its own economically. Those ports that are not profitable, the state governments should be the ones making up the difference. Not the FG.

Same for airports too!

And let each state derive the benefits from its ports and airports.

I know that dredging the river niger is going to cost billions of dollars, and an enormous amount of money to maintain after that. If your state government and people want to sink their money in something uneconomical like that, no wahala. It is a free country.

But there is no reason for others to have to subsidize such.

Lagos was not built by Lagos indegenes or even Yorubas. If Lagos was never a  capital of Nigeria, it would have been like Oyo and other SW states. Probably, the port would have been a fishing point. The whole essence of Lagos would have been down.
On the contrary, If Calabar had remained the capital of Nigeria, it would have had the same story that Lagos is having now. Even with the small impact of the "Colonial capital status" on Calabar, you can still see some elements of infrastructural sophistication, just that it was never complemented by the Nigerian government.

He has not insulted any ethnic group. He is facing individuals head on. That doesn't qualify him as a bigot. You on the other hand is a qualified bigot. Just today, you have made a statement anticipating the massacre of Igbos by OPC. What is that called? Botherhood? And you said I should not spit on you?
