I hate Yoruba people so much



Only 7% of them are good people


I detest them so much


No surprise, people jealous who's better than them...

It's jealousy not hatred..

On Christmas eve, I went to buy a cow and goat at one of the markets in Lagos and I was shocked when I was told that I have to pay before I can enter the market. Of course, it was cheap (just 50 naira) but isn't it strange that I have to pay to access a place that I'm going to spend my money.

Does any other market have this system?

Lol. The only thing that didn't make me complain is that the money is very little. So just close eye and give them.

The money is nothing at all. I think it was N100 or so. I was just startled as I have never experienced such. Not in other Lagos markets I have visited and not in my state of origin. I was thinking someone would at least explain to me why an angry sweaty looking man was staring down at me. grin

It is all madness. I was shocked the day we were asked to pay for ground. I say ground how? Did I come here to buy land? grin I was lost for a minute o.

Very unfortunate. I was even shocked to know agberoism has now spilled over to places like Onitsha. I believe it all started in Lagos.
Now, I think it's a very good way of raising IGR, after all #50 naira is nothing. But it is not structured..the tax collector's are touts always high on weed, ever ready to fight and we all know such returns go into private pockets. Then again, these market people also pay the legal tax. It's just robbery we've all come to accept. NURTW is supposed to be a federal body, but we see their leaders live way beyond their means.

There's a gate fee to enter Wuse market with your car though in Abuja. Don't know if people on foot pay.

Lol... maybe he thought you're a politician's babe, so you should have money to give to him. grin

Yea, it's not done in the east. Even in Okwor (one of the biggest market in Ebonyi State) they don't even charge people coming to buy goods.

I was surprised when I discovered that they do it at rice Mill in Abakaliki.

I just pray they don't start it in all major markets in Lagos, cos with the way agberos keep multiplying daily for this Lagos eh...even me, I'm beginning to get worried.

It’s for crowd control. Making sure the people coming in to market are people who should be in the market. That’s the only logical explanation I can think of.

As long as it isn’t a hidden charge, they let you know from the gate and you do have a choice to pay or turn back.

Ok.

The NPF will soon do random 'crowd control' on people going about their business. Let's hope nobody criticizes them then.

50 naira is not just 50 naira & it's not just cheap. It wasn't plucked from tree, but worked for. I know it's meant to generate revenue for the economy & government. But, Lagosians should protest against it. Today, they'll collect 50 naira, tomorrow it will be 100naira, then later 200 naira. Until e reach 1000 naira. We should stop allowing things like these slide. It's not fair.

Their supporters are on this thread so you can expect the usual nonsense from them. 50 Naira is still money. If its nothing then the agberos and their masters should go find their own 50 Naira by themselves. Multiply that 50 Naira by the thousands who flood into the market and we are no longer talking of 'small money'.

The money isn't properly remitted to the LASG coffers. Its an opaque, filthy system in which different ogas and market madams take their cut and the balance is spent on paraga and weed by the area boys who function as collectors. At the end of it who gains? undecided

People who havent travelled outside Lagos make it seem like it happens in Lagos alone.

Some markets ask you to pay for ground.
For example you buy yam, potatoes or bunch of plantain, you would pay for the floor space it was displayed on.

Lagos is one crazy chaotic place.
I find it strange that some of its residents revel in this madness. They even brag with it. There is no bragging right here to me.


Yiimu ! but the last time you visited your village you went with both pentecostal and olumba olumba anointing oil

it's very normal if you went with your car. Agbero must collect.
Learn to park outside the market if 50 naira is too much for you.

Anything you want to repair at Alaba intl market you must pay 500# or else no passage for you.

This is a norm from your brothers at Alaba.

I have been to the biggest markets in my state and not once did I witness anything like this. Maybe it is in other states, but definitely not mine. Why should I buy yam and pay for the ground the yam was displayed on? It was too shocking. cheesy They are not in Balogun or I didn't encounter them. You see this kind of thing in mostly foodstuff markets as they know people [women] just want to buy and leave.

It is a means of settling some local government heads and small kings if you ask me.

"Take this market, generate your income". Similar to the madness going on at Lagos beaches.

I was at a market and someone was collecting N200. I asked what it was for and the woman said the Iyaloja has been sick and out of service. So the traders contribute N200 for her every Wednesday. Omo!!!!

Agberoism has always been in the SE. But based on observation, they are not as brazen as the ones in Lagos. The ones in Lagos are institutionalized under bodies like NURTW. So you see them addressing us on serious national issues. cheesy cheesy

Good reasoning, not everybody reasons like this. A whole lot of fools in the world now, going by what I've been reading so far.

The foot soldiers keep getting promoted as b/stop "Chairmen" so more levies to be taxed and the citizens bear the burnt as these costs are added to the costs of goods purchased.

It is a crazy cycle.
