I invested my money in Ebonyi State long ago. I don't know what is wrong with those ones building houses everywhere even in the North.

My fellow Igbos, Anam Ekene!

I have been shouting it here on Nairaland for years that there is no such thing as 'one Nigeria'. If there was, every part of Nigeria would be where you can call home, including Lagos

I have told our people doing business all over Nigeria, particularly in Lagos, to never forget 'Aku rue Ulo'. If you choose to forget, you will be rudely reminded later

Treat Lagos the way you treat your shops, make your money, but go home. Your shop is not home. Go to Lagos, work hard legitimately, invest back home.

Stop investing in Lagos unless the investment has a direct impact on growing your business. As an Igbo man, you have no business buying land, filling swamps, carving out roads, buying or building residential houses in Lagos, do it in the East! The day they will come for you, you will only have your self to blame

MadamVanessa:


Treat that shitty place like trash. Lagos is overrated by illiterate, unexposed agberos. Nothing de there. Filthy and smelly.

PointB:


Now you get it.

There is no need to leave the market. Stay and make more mney, invest only what is needed to make profit, and repatriate your profit. But do no exit the market, repeat DO NOT EXIT the market, until time is ripe.

Godfullsam:
An average Igbo thinks too high of himself.

How on earth will you even entertain the thought that, if igbos leave lagos, the Lagos economy will collapse?

No be mumu be that?!

The really smart ones are learning though.
One of my relations who is one of the richest men in my town have been quietly relocating for at least the past 20 years.
Today, he still owns the houses he built in Lagos 20 years ago, but about 80% of his real wealth is in Anambra state now.
He uses those Lagos houses to confuse people. Dude is a very trickish man by nature. He's long gone. lol
In fact he spends one month in Lagos and one month in the East these days.
Na time, the rest go follow.

PureFace1:
Many of you guys still underestimate the investment of Yoruba in Lagos lol

80% of Yoruba wealth in Nigeria is in Lagos State, many Yoruba from Oyo, Ondo, Ogun Osun, Kogi, KWARA invested heavily in Lagos to make Lagos what it is today, so even if all Igbo pull out of Lagos the vacuum will be fill by other tribes or neighbouring countries.

100years from now Lagos will still be the most industrial place in Nigeria. Lagos foundation is unshakable even In industrialization today no state in Nigeria can beat Ogun state, even Anambra can't match the industrial capacity of Oyo state. It is all futile endeavor.

NaijirianKing:
Lagos, Kogi and Kwara is not Yoruba land. Kwara is Fulani, Kogi is North Central, Lagos is a mixture of all Nigerian Tribes, no one tribe can say they control the cosmopolitan city of Lagos Nigeria. It belongs to all Nigerians.

DiscoverID:
Which home should they go back to? So that you can kidnapp them for ransome? Your plan won't work. Gone are those days.

CSTRR:

The same home they go every Christmas?

You are insane.

Btw, shouldn't you be happy?

The Igbos want to divest from your land.
Less investment, less attachment to who governs it.

You can now be free to elect oluomo.

favor914:
Confused Clown, he has been trying to relocate from Lagos State for the past 20 years?

Let that your so called rich relative be deceiving you, so that you remain in Anambra State.

As you are there in the East today, where is that your relative? Isn’t he in Lagos State right now, handling his business?

T9ksy:



Whomever we chose to rule our ancestral land shouldn't be of any concern to you.

I don't give a phock who your governors are no care but you igbos are so obsessed with Lagos - a city where you claimed, the locals hates your guts and you reciprocate in kind.

CSTRR:

Locals like who?

Gbadebo Rhodes vivour, Doherty, bucknor and other real lagosians?

Nah. I don't think so.

It's the Yoruba immigrants from osun, ekiti, Ondo and Ogun that have a problem with igbos.

Your brown roof villages are nothing to write home about, so Lagos is the only thing you people "have".

Gajagojo:
Funny people
You think the people who own Lagos are not thinking
That they don't have a vision for their land that does not include you?,
The train has left the station
So pe o ti lo
Our vision has no space for sole trader container and warehouse jokers?if you are not listed on the stock market we don't want you and will expel you in due course.
If you cannot have a one on one meeting with the CEO of Samsung ,if you cannot fulfil warranty you will not be welcome. We don't one one man businesses in Lagos without a corporate structure
It is just a question of whether you jump or we push you

BitterTruth01:


I have read the OP’s post again and I don’t see where he said anything like that . He is only asking his brethren to not invest in residential properties in Lagos .
The issue is with your deluded brain not the OP

The same thing I have been saying treat it like a shop

If you must build gather six people build 6 flats everyone takes one manage it like that

Send your profit home

If possible open your company in your state capital so that you don't pay profit tax in Lagos

One day one day we will recapture Lagos state just like Fulanis captured Ilorin
