That's why you're an illiterate.

Two sources were provided for you to backup the argument, but you reduced it to population size.

Even your brothers and sisters jump early morning buses from Owo and the rest of SW to Onitsha and Aba everyday to buy goods.

Abii you no do economics for secondary school? To know the difference between wholesaler and retailer?

The sources do not mean that it is true.
He asked you about the population because that is one thing that a market needs.
No SWesterner will board a bus and go to the East to buy what Easterners took to the East from Lagos.It is an open secret that a lot of Easterners come to the SW to buy goods and take them back to the East to sell.
Sometimes I laugh when you throw words around business as if you know business more than Yorubas do.
Yorubas have been in business before Igbos know what business is and the facts are there.
Till now Yorubas still surpass Igbos in business.
Igbos are mainly in petty trading and it is largely in Lagos and the second tribe in that order is Yoruba.
Real business and industries are controlled by Yorubas both in Nigeria and abroad.

KanwuliaExtra:
Serious monopoly. . . No wonder LAGOS can flex unnecessarily.
Maintain working ports all over Nigeria and see what happens to the so-called "Lagos".

lol
There is no way you can beat the SW.
Remember that before Lagos,Ibadan was the richest and largest economy in Nigeria.
If there is no port in the SW,Yorubas will still be the most prosperous due to their resilience and business acumen.
Have you ever asked yourself why it is mostly the Yorubas that are making it abroad in business with massive industries.Have you?

The DIRTIEST too!

YouAreNobody:


Lolzzzz.....you guys are illiterates.

He tells you the truth.A lot of people praise you that you are business oriented because of Lagos.
Your large population in Lagos with 80% of them doing petty trading all over even surpassing the Yorubas,have made people believe that you are 1st in business.
Lagos is the most populous city in Africa.
If you are out of Lagos and Yorubas take over,your fame as business people is gone forever.
Just because of politics and your exodus in large number to the SW and Lagos especially,some Yorubas really want you to reduce your population in the SW.
Less population of Igbos in SW will bring less friction politically.Nobody can force you to vote for who you do not want and your large population is becoming a threat even when you and your ancestors have always been antagonistic to the Yorubas.

KanwuliaExtra:


The DIRTIEST too!

Igbos have always been the dirtiest tribe because of their culture and pungent smell,sir.

Yorubas dominate Peckham in the UK.
Nobody ever complains even as a black neibourhood.
Yorubas are some of the neatest Nigerians.
Can your tribe dominate an area and you wont hear about dirtiness and some of their negativities?

dokyOloye:

They don't know.
When I served in the Yoruba speaking part of Kogi,I was shocked by the number of buses leaving Onitsha to Kogi,Ekiti,Ondo, Osun etc cos they usually loaded at same place.
There are more buses leaving Onitsha to the north compared to Lagos to the north.
For something like men's clothing, you will buy it cheaper in Onitsha compared to Lagos

Onicha quality is my compare to Lagos quality

The biggest importers bring to Lagos

Lagos don’t even serve Nigeria sales alone plus neighboring countries

Menclothing:


Onicha quality is my compare to Lagos quality

The same way Onitsha supplies to Southern Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea etc.
These spandex polos in vogue now,in Mandilas its 8-10k.
In Lagos line Onitsha, I bought 7500 early June.
Could've been cheaper if I'm were a boutique person buying in bulk

helinues:


What's the population of people in SE that 65% of containers imported to Lagos end up in SE?

What's the population of Lagos and Kano alone?

Make una dey start using this free gifted senses bikonu

come to Onitsha and see how things works no be to dey talk like person we dey high under the influence of agbado

from Onitsha things are moved to the North, containers that landed in Lagos and are opened in the east.

ratiani6:
The new port in the South South will reduce conjestion and unnecessary delays

This topic again, where do you think the other 35% are coming in through ? The North SMH
Who says there’s no working ports in SS ?

Gossiphub:


They don't know this.

I'm a living witness to this Ondo part.

I was in Ondo one time like that and you needed to see how Yoruba people were jumping "Ondo Rising" bus early Momo for Onitsha.

Aside myself in the bus, others were Yorubas coming to buy goods in Onitsha.

What are you guys saying, it has even reduced. Then in the 1990s, onitsha and ariaria main market was the deal. Many people all over the country and west africa troop in to buy from them. Is just now that most business men has extended their business to Asaba, lagos and abuja

Go and read up on the constraints and why despite several billions Federal Government pumped like wasted funds into those 'political' ports outside Lagos, they are still not optimal in value for money the FG invested to build them just to pander to tribal and geopolitical sentiments.

If you read the report very well, what NPA is admitting is the fact that the money FG should have used to upgrade the infrastructures in the two Lagos-based busiest functional ports in Nigeria and west African sub region that it diverted into the white elephant projects called seaports in the other parts of the country. Since 1977, those two ports have not witnessed massive infrastructure upgrades yet FG kept building new ones that are literally economically useless like the p in psychology.

It was the reality of the kind of envy of the Yoruba by folks like you and the spoiler the FG
played against Lagos that made us proceed with private-sector led port alternatives like the Lekki and Badagry Deep seaports so our progress will not be undermined forever in a multiethnic nation like ours.

Now our Lekki Deep seaport is up and we do not need envious compatriots blackmailing us that we held them down. Think out of the box. We have understood your game of acting as spoilers as if the Yoruba are sitting down on your progress when in actual fact the Yoruba are not.

That those two ports are suffering from poor infrastructure is because of envy and bitterness against the Yoruba for hosting those ports, it is not because FG could not have kept them in shape despite the fact that those ports were national assets serving the nation, employing all Nigerians and handling most of the cargoes in Nigeria. We will always triumph in this kind of reality that you are envious of us but please don't drag us into your inability to make a headway, we are not responsible for your woes and having suboptimal political ports. You reap what you sow.

You are totally ignornat!!
Tin Can Port did not come into operation till the 70's, was Nigeria not doing import/export business before then? Warri, Sapple, PH were all major ports towns for decades. All those ports were allowed to die, so Lagos could have the monopoly. As long as Yoruba's try to make Lagos the only state with functional ports, people from all over the nation will live there,and the complextion of the state will keep changing. The last election is just a forestatste of what is to come

It does not really work like that. Lagos is still largely indigenous and even if it is not, only people agreeable with the dominant group can have good success in the state. The way to succeed outside one's territory or home is to submit to the dominant culture of the place you are. Imagine Yorubas trying to seize PH from the original people just because they are succeeding in the city. They have to work with and not at cross purposes with the people on ground controlling the institutions. The other way is armed struggle and I think that is no longer possible in today's world. There is no need for any group attempting to upset the demography or control of any land. I for one think the Gwari should assert themselves more in Abuja. Teach kids the language in schools and stamp the Gwari culture on Abuja like a badge. Everything must survive as it is on its land. Since all ethnic nations have land, it is not right for any group to covertly or overtly try to seize control over the land of others. Not right even if they are the majority. Therefore non Yorubas that want to be relevant in Lagos should Yorubanize or align with the Yoruba not work at cross purposes with them. Self preservation is a reflex action

Putinofrussia:


Ok,sir but you are the ones crying that Lagos is taking all imports and blah blah blah.
One thing you must put in your head is that even before the existence of Nigeria,during regionalism and now Yorubaland still remains the economic powerhouse of Nigeria.
Yorubas are wealth creators not only on the pedestal of petty trade.

If what Moghalu said is true,it then means that
the SW,with a bigger economy and market than the SE,is less dependent on imports which makes it a better and more viable economy.
Less imports,More exports,More FDI and viable financial environment.
These are some of the strengths of the SW.
The way to go..

What exactly do you produce in the SW that makes you think you are self sufficient. If you are self sufficient, what are you exporting through your ports. We Igbo account for 60 % of your export and import in all your ports. Here is evidence of GDP in SE of Imo for example bigger than all the states in SW minus Lagos.

Lagos State ₦41.17 102.01 266.55 6,614 17,282
2 Rivers State ₦7.96 19.72 51.52 2,277 5,949
3 Akwa Ibom State ₦7.77 19.25 50.30 2,962 7,739
4 Imo State ₦7.68 19.02 49.69 2,996 7,828
5 Delta State ₦6.19 15.33
The naira is in trillion not billion. These are the first five states. Your SW are from 7 even Anambara is ahead at number 6.

So what exactly are you people bragging at. Una eyes go soon clear.

Once you meet strangers, you can not be self sufficient again. No country is self sufficient. If you are self sufficient it means you are poor. The things you don't produce that others produce enrich your life and there will always be things like that. The greatness of a nation is the ability to join hands together and do things together and you get ahead faster that way, the other greatness is how many people are joining hands together which is the population. SW produce and SE produce. Do I need to list the products?.

I dont have to be going back and forth with you but you have defeated yourself by putting Lagos as the biggest GDP.
Without the other SW states,SW is already far,far on top with Lagos.
What are you blabbing about again and remember there is no way you can beat the SW.
Remember that before Lagos,Ibadan was the richest and largest economy in Nigeria.
If there is no port in the SW,Yorubas will still be the most prosperous due to their resilience and business acumen.
Have you ever asked yourself why it is mostly the Yorubas that are making it abroad in business with massive industries.Have you?

FreeStuffsNG:
This is the Best Time to invest in Lagos and the neighbouring SW states!

This is the best time to invest in Yorubaland if you don't hate and resent your Yoruba hosts. The Yoruba and Yorubaland will bless you, your family and your investments!

Invest in Lagos today with a good patriotic heart and not with a heart full of hatred and bigotry against your host so you will not lose everything you bring to Yorubaland.

God bless Lagos state and may God bless Nigeria for ever!

You are a tribalist and APC zombie.
Igbos that I very much know you are directing your rubbish advice at do not have any hatred for Yoruba other than the way any tribe naturally feel about another tribe. In fact, if you study the biological makeup’s and historical relationships (which u never learned at school), between tribes, you will know that Igbos and Yoruba are more related and even intermarry more that what occurs between Yoruba and Hausas.
It your backward party APC that brought up your false narrative and has been trying to force it on us like it’s the reality. Before APC especially during PDP period we do not hear about this kind of rivalry you wicked people are trumpeting now

FreeStuffsNG:
Smh. It's pointless educating you that Lagos has never been for sale and I am not in your league of people raised to hate others and then claim victims. The thread is on ports and how the complaints raised by NPA would not have been the case if these ports were not deprived to please haters like you.

You lie, boy. You hate igbos with passion. You are only a deceptive element.

The igbos make the port profitable. You can't deny that.

You are daft because he does not have to introduce himself as Igbo before you know he is Igbo. He is a nationalist Igbo who thinks the Yoruba are trained to hate Igbos. Isn't that obvious?.
