This over-bloated sense of importance is the reason why ignorant folks like this op keep attracting hatreds to the Igbos.

Igbos found a booming city where they can make quick money and they migrated there in droves, yet you're saying you made the city what it is.

If it's too difficult to read history, why not just look around for videos to show you what Lagos looked like in the 1900s when your own ancestors were still fighting themselves in their huts?

This guy should just be ignored for sanity sake. I think he's one of the SS3 boys lucky enough for an uncle to get him one palasa phone. Instead of doing his assignment with it, he's ranting here on Nairaland attracting hatreds to the Igbo race.

Lagos is the New York of Nigeria with residents from all parts of the country and probably the city with the largest number of expats. If Igbos leave for any reason, there are many other people to fill up the space (for their own economic benefit of )

"With residents from all parts of the country and probably the city with the largest number of expats" this they will never understand.

How some of these set of people still reason with their anus is so monumental, I mean they deserve a Guinness world record for that.

If this country is restructured today the average Igbo man is finished. They won't know if to stay or to move.

You said Igbos are the driving force of economy of Lagos,
Why are the Igbos not driving the economy of ndigbo states ?
If they are truly the one driving the economy of Lagos
Infact Ndigbos have given Nigeria bad names more than any tribe in Nigeria

Lagos was strategically located from the beginning with all natural Endowment and the igbos and Niger Delta oil has contributed largely to what Lagos is today. The yorubas has not contributed half of what The igbos has contributed to the development of Lagos state. Yorubas should be happy they've got a state like Lagos. If not, sorrow for them. The yorubas are very lazy when it comes to contributing to nation building and they are quick to throw the tribal sentiment. I'm really proud of the Igbo race despite all they've got through with marginalization and the rest, they still stand strong. Hopefully, I go like marry from the igbo self.

South East is not a primitive states. I did my youth service in Anambra state and I had the opportunity to visit other states in south east except Ebonyi state which was a bit far. South east is more developed that south west excluding Lagos. Na only Lagos Yoruba people dey use take make mouth. We all know Igbos as travelers and they do business all over the country. So igbos has contributed in boosting the economy of Lagos more than the lagosians themselves. Na Agbero lagosians carry pass for head.

make only Yoruba develop Ibadan or Ogun state make we see. Lagos was developed by everyone. Both the federal government. Don't forget Lagos was the former capital of Nigeria. Different factors contributed to what Lagos is today, so make the Yoruba let us rest with their tribalism.

Lagos is overcrowded. What you describe , i.e festive periods of decongestion, would be optimally good if it can be permanent. Lagos has a population estimated to be 23 million today in the smallest State in Nigeria.

Population of Greater Accra is 5.4 million and Nigerians love it there because it is feels better organised, more spacious, more sane, cleaner overall, far less traffic and far less congested overall.

Population of Johannesburg is 6 million.
Population of Nairobi is 5.1 million.
Population of London is 9.4 million.
These are all regarded as exemplary cities to different extents.

To be sane and as great as she can be, the optimal population of Lagos should be 9 to 10 million.

We are sentimental and prejudiced in Nigeria and rarely apply pragmatic logic or science to our thinking and is why that you can speak as if the overpopulation of Lagos by Igbos, from a region relatively far away from Lagos, is a good thing.

It is counter-productive migration in the long term and leaders of Lagos now accept this statistically-backed and researched reality.

If Igbos leave, Lagos would be better in the long run. That is a town-planning, aesthetic, infrastructural and socio-economic fact.
Lagos can still accommodate 10m people if both housing, water and road transportation are well planned. Lagos is inadequate in providing all of those. And again, what makes Lagos still looks contested and all that is because a large number of those there are not productive, especially manufacturing things. So, the resources can not cater for that large unproductive population. It has got nothing to do with Igbo's occupying spaces. The large number of agberos and unproductive persons roaming the state deface it.

Empty houses in the bushes and little or no jobs aside trading isn't the sign of a developed society.

You guys build houses, not functional societies.

The money used to build those empty houses weren't even made in the region.

Igbos are petty traders and contribute less than 1% of Lagos IGR. People are queuing up to take up those shops in Ladipo, alaba. Other Nigerians, indians, Europeans are queuing for a piece of Lagos, igbos constitute nuisance and criminality in Lagos.

Facts, this is what the blockheads refuse to understand, others will simply buy your small houses you leave behind, and Lagos will fare better. Ladipo and Alaba will be reorganized into a world class sane market. Op you are very stupid.

What is Niger Delta oil? A false narrative sold to you novices by the nigeria fraudulent state. The oil that nigeria has been using since inception is mostly gotten from Igboland/territories from Rivers state, Delta State, and South East states. These are where the majority of the oil is found. Again over 90% of nigeria's gas is found in Igbo territories of Obigbo in River state where a pipeline is being laid from, to Morocco, Abia state, Imo state, and Anambra state. Stop allowing them to set the narrative for you, just as they told you to use the term "bandits" instead of terrorists.

Now look at how your governor is shutting markets operated by the igbos in Lagos.
When the businesses of yorubas are thriving in different parts of Nigeria without attacks, including national banks,churches, telecoms, individual businesses.

They are doing the same attacking to hausas aswell, while Nigerians are closely watching them, very selfish demonic acts.

Any society that hates visitors are like deserts that rejects waters.
since their market is shut down, they should kukuma go and start their businesses in their states na. Abi fight dey there?

What "braver option"? Our constitution outrightly outlaws secession. The Yorubas are not fools who works counter-productively or foolishly.

Two legal and achievable options face us today.

1) Include a secession clause in our constitution to allow any disgruntled region breakaway legally. Something Awolowo attempted decades ago only to be undermined and frustrated by Azikiwe's myopic treachery .

2) Adopt regional governance and autonomy which we have hosted before and is tested and proven.

Everything is a matter of native constitution, disposition and outlook. The average Yoruba is pragmatic and law-abiding. He will work from towards using any of the legal option available to get the autonomy he craves.

He believes in fighting battles he has a better than average chance of winning. This is why Yorubas , in the generality, will never support a push for secession that, as things stand, is patently doomed to fail because the government of the day has the legal right to crush such anyhow it sees fit as a sovereign nation protecting the explicit provision of her constitution.

Many nations will support Nigeria as well , against seccessionists, because of the ethos of "that could be us facing internal rebellion tomorrow".

It is what I don't get about you Igbos. You know something is wrong and illegal yet keep insisting it is what you want and that others are "wicked" for not letting you have your ways.

The way Yorubas see it is that the law is binding on all and you must either amend the law or obey it.

Awolowo tried to amend the law but obeyed it when he failed.Ojukwu defied the law and cost 3 million Igbos their lives. Simple yet powerful illustration of thr difference between a Yoruba and an Igbo.

I'd advise you guys to become.pramatically efficient but I realise history of many decades has shown that Igbos are incapable of learning lessons that assists personal self-development.
