You didn’t consider the dollarized loans abi?

Most these guys owe in dollars these days. Let’s just leave it there. It is only favoring a few but many are not enjoying it walahi.

VladimirPutiin:
I love the Igbo tribe so much.

mrvitalis:

Lmao who owes in bank ?

People have learnt over the years that many mansions built in villages deteriorate over time. The children they are built for have different values or live abroad. What Fred Ajudua said about acquisition of properties (if true) is a reference point. Sustainability is key. How will the houses be maintained upon the death of the owner? Even while alive, a house one stays in for a few weeks just 2ce a year isn't well utilised. That's where the problem lies. It's the reason why more people are building smaller though beautiful houses in some villages. Just enough space to live in when necessary and more compact for easy maintenance.

Many of the "brown roof" houses in the SW were mansions in the 50s and 60s.

DaveDGreat:


Lol. That's all you have to say right? That says it all.

Next time, don't tell an Igbo he's a "visitor" or that you're his "host" in Lagos.

Good morning to you.

Zonefree:

That's Aboh. Close to Ihedioha's hometown

Ihatebuhariwith:

Lordave:
Omo kekere you don too cry for here oo.

I hope this frustration doesn’t lead you to go into skull mining and decapitation spree.

I’ve never seen someone sound so bitter in my entire membership on nairaland.

You'll build one silly house in Amuwo Odofin and be disturbing our peace.

Ade3131:


My personal issues with our Igbo brother were all captured in this post of yours. I've lived with them all my life so I know and speak the language well.

One issue that is generic and very pronounced among igbos is their tendency to insult the hands that feed them. I mean read through your post again and ask yourself if you're any different from those low IQ guys who insult their benefactors?

You trade in southwest and the north. People from these region are your best clients, all your wealth comes from these places yet you have the audacity to call them poor?

If your place is as rich as you claimed why aren't your most successful businessmen based in the East?

Why aren't their businesses based there?

You traveled out of your almighty southeast to the north or west with a polytene or ghana-most-go bag looking re.tarded and malnourished only to return with luxury, and out of your very shallow thinking, you dare call the land that made you backward and poor?

How many non-igbos are making it as big as people from your tribe are doing in other regions, in the southeast? Or are there no non-igbos in the East? If you know the stat, then think again. Is the east really that wealthy as you think or it's just a repository where Igbos who have succeeded in their trade go to deposit part of their wealth while they continue to reside in the land where milk and honey flows in the West?

It's only a child who have not visited other people's family farm that says it's his father's farm that is the biggest.

As poor as Ilorin looks from the outside, I've been to places that suggests otherwise within that state. And just to state this, I've visited and stayed in all the eastern states, so I know the terrain too well for you to talk shit. Everybody is blessed but coming to claim that your blessings are bigger and better than other people's own is just foolishness.

Dapinski:


Cry baby. Go and post on ipobland.com where you belong. This is a Nigerian forum for Nigerians.

okoroemeka:
I think majority don't even bother to go to their villages even during festive season that's why it is like that.

Dapinski:


Dont mind the annoying village trolls. Always disturbing everyone because of their insecurities.

FreeStuffsNG:

I know that you are not based in Lagos or from Lagos so I can only respond by telling you to keep telling yourself such falsehood until you bel8eve it
Just type the excos of Banana Island Landlords Association alone to cure yourself of the ignorance. To buy property in Banana Island, you need more than money because background check is first conducted on you.

I guarantee you that ,especially , if you are not from the stock of the Ikoyi old money made up mostly of the Yoruba elite renowned ex-this ex-that or have strong link to them, you will not get a single sand in Banana Island.

Banana Island is different but I am sure that you don't know. You probably think it is all comers affair. You must be from a certain pedigree before you can buy land in Banana Island sir. Once they hear your surname, you will be declined on the spot.
There are so much you do not understand about Lagos, Lagos has never been for sale sir

ThEGodFaThEr127:

Why you too dey lie like this nitori Olohun?
Is it the same banana island or there's another that I'm not aware of?
Boy, there's nothing special about banana island. My uncle was the first set of people to erect a building there when it wasn't overcrowded. I'm talking about year 2005 / 2007. Infact, most people regretted and sold their houses after a heavy downpour flooded the areas and houses submerged.
I've been tripping in and out of banana island before they gave birth to most of you kids on nairaland and I can confidently tell you one or two as regards that area of Ikoyi.
If you want to lie, at least lie with sense because you don't know is who.
Make we no yarn much sha because this your mumu stories no gel rara and I wouldn't want to fall your hand online as per say you're my fellow Omoluabi.

DaveHarry:
Houses they can't call home

FreeStuffsNG:

There are things you do not understand about Lagos but in summary,Lagos has never been for sale.I won't say more than that.Let us leave it there.


On Banana Island, you apparently misunderstood me sir, the ticket to get a property there is not because you are Yoruba, it is that you are ultra high networth , phenomenally ultra succcessful and have a verifiable elitist family pedigree. . That is where the scions of the Yoruba old Ikoyi money have the edge and why an Obi Cubana et al do not have houses in Banana.

It is run like a company and not like your regular estate . It will be easier for an Emefiele to get a property there than an MC Oluomo yet MC Oluomo is Yoruba except if MC Oluomo is from the old Yoruba Ikoyi money.

The board is peopled mostly by the scions of this old Ikoyi money who are mostly Yoruba ( I won't disclose the names of the Yoruba families) and own almost all the property there and who have over the years inter married and know one another as far back as their primary school days in Saint Saviours,Ikoyi

It is done in the west in every highly civilized capitalist urban city settings where the ultra High networth create an exclusive zone for themselves so it is not new. The brilliant Architect Yoruba man who conceptualized the Island for scions of Yoruba old Ikoyi money is late now but the idea is to create an upper class estate for the Yoruba ultra HNI and scions of Ikoyi old money.
It is a strategic way to fence out the new money because most of this elite old Ikoyi money live in old Ikoyi while their scions live in Banana Island. .

To understand this concept, please read the tragedy in the book "The Great Gasby" and how Gatsby was never accepted by the old money.

In that book , you will appreciate more why you need to work hard for your descendants today.

Dapinski:


You're a mumu villager. I don't have your time.

heniford2:
this should motivate you to think home like the igbos do never forget your Root no matter where you are igbos no dey forget home as a warri dude think like igbos

Sapeleboy911:


And what makes you think I forgot my roots, do you know if I'm currently in my village? You crave too much attention from the Yoruba man, it's a sign of low self-esteem.

Dapinski:


Dont mind the annoying village trolls. Always disturbing everyone because of their insecurities.

heniford2:
low self-esteem yoruba boy like you always feeling hate and jealous abeg preach your message to the dead if your from your village promote it not get annoyed when someone tries to do so coron sapele

membranus:


A Yoruba man is never boastful of his achievements or properties by nature. That irritating behaviour belongs to the average Igbo man.

That we don't flaunt our possessions doesn't mean that we don't have them. We have mighty mansions jaburata in all our villages all over, and no matter how you taunt us, we will not be tempted to showcase them to you as proofs of our prosperity.

Because doing so will only inflame the Igboman envious disposition towards the Yorubas the more.

Sapeleboy911:


You still have a long way to go. Being a tribalist will only bring you more harm than good believe you me.

DaveDGreat:


Me villager? Lol.

Typical of a drowning man who would clutch at anything. You spew trash and when faced with facts, run to hide.

You Sir, are an illiterate. Go and get education.
