Lagos is not igboland, it neither belongs to igbos nor yorubas.. Ndigbo can go back during war to connect with their kit and kin just like they do every Christmas, it doesn't change anything.

You are very funny, Lagos doesn't belong to Yoruba. Then why would you allow Yoruba control the government in Lagos since it doesnt belong to either Yorubas or Igbos?, why would you allow Yorubas have traditional institutions all over the state?

You Igbos should protest in Lagos for the Yorubas to cancel all the traditional institutions in Lagos and also step down from governing the state. They should also stop selling lands and revoke all land ownership.

globemoney:
No one is afraid of you not liking igbos and next time you are making examples, use Oyo state, ibadan instead of Lagos. Nobody can drag ibadan, ogun state with yorubas. Lagos is no mans land

Let me ask you two questions and I want you to use your brain objectively not your delusional brain.

1. Why did you guys go back to Igbo land during the Civil War, since Lagos is no man's land you guys should have stayed back in Lagos?

2. If I build a house on someone else's land without his consent do you agree that the owner of the land has the legal backing of the Law to demolish the building because whoever owns the land own whatever is on it.

hornyofife:
Cry cry baby

So buying land means development to you, which school did you go to.

Roads, Rail transport, Bus Transport, Bridges, Parks that's what you call development not buying land to build your house.

Even if we are to accept the false claims "Igbos developed Lagos" here is a typical example, if I build a house and it's not painted and I rent a house to another person, he now paints the house, does it make the house the tenant's because I don't understand these Igbo people.

GoldNiagara:
According to op, Igbo developed Lagos a no man ' s land and what were his parameters, first he said that Ibos are part of an organic concentrated market, - That sounds like bullshit to me. build which market, all markets built and regulated by Lagos state government and marketers pay rent annually, Lagos state agency known as Lagos state development agency is the landlord of all the buildings and stalls in idumota market for example and people that leased to other pay rents annually. I know this and same applies to most markets in Lagos. That is for market.

Next another parameters for development by op' s denatured assessment is transport and he made mention of ekenedilichukwu, guo et al. I laugh in ikwere, Please recall, that the transportation system in Lagos is in the firm grip of informal and mostly illiterate Yorubas and now Lagos state government has taken it over with brt buses, lamata and new buses are coming in to phase out danfos , that is development. The rail track under construction in Lagos has no single input from you guys, as well as the cable cars under construction, what of water transportation that is also firmly in control of a Yorubas but the Lagos State government is also taking it over. Now your interstate buses only developed the pockets of the owners not Lagos.Comprehende!

Now real estate, I laugh when I hear you guys brag about real estate, first note that all lands in Lagos state belonged to the state,except ones acquired by the Federal government that is the essence of land use act, 1978. So all the purported land owners in Lagos state are tenants of Lagos State government.
Secondly, the aggregate lands purchased by Ibos in Lagos state is not even up to 10 per cent of the aggregate of the total land mass of Lagos state,that is huge for a tribe, hence the misconception by you guys albeit ignorantly when you say you have bought all the lands of Lagos state i marvel at your ignorance,i know this for a fact and don't ask me how.

As per hotels ownership, I laughed, tell me which Ibo hotel is bigger than oriental hotel within Nigeria. hotel biz is in the firm grip of the Yorubas in Lagos State. Motel or 2 stars hotels don't count they are meeting points for resident strumpet and criminal, the major turf of you guys.

Now development is making a thing better that it was, it is not making it worse, you guys have only succeeded in under developing Lagos State, you hardly pay tax, largest chunks of criminal acts is resident with you guys, a lot of defaulting tenants not paying their rents and are in court are you Ibos. So how have you guys developed Lagos and you guys can't ramp together money to build 2nd Niger bridge and Lagos state is building a rail track criss-crossing about six local governments without any input from Federal government.

I am an indigene of Ikorodu and I know for a fact that Ikorodu,ibeju-lekki and epe were part of Ogun state before they were made part of Lagos State and it is an insult to say Lagos is a no man's s land.

I hope I have been able to cure your ignorance today.

I didn't even see this your comment because I was busy asking the Igbo guy you quoted the same thing, they keep shouting we developed Lagos, let's even start a decent conversation without insults with them on the question "how are the Igbos developing Lagos" because I don't understand what they mean by that.

Prior independence the British built the infrastructures in Lagos after independence the FG built the infrastructures and from Democratic dispensation till date the Yoruba Administrators have been building the infrastructures in Lagos.

If Igbos think doing business and paying taxes to Lagos govt is development then am sorry for them. Are they the only Nigerians paying taxes in Lagos, so how exactly are they developing Lagos or developed Lagos which ever the case may be.

hornyofife:
You are crying too much....read the write up again...Nobody is dragging Lagos with you but when you try to deminish the contributions of the igbos to the development and buoyancy of lagos,then you force the igbos to remind you they are the largest contributors to the development of Lagos, hence they are the developers of Lagos...its as simple as that. Actions and counter reaction, tit for tat....

You guys are never the largest contributors to Lagos, you guys only know how to exaggerate your contributions, if you believe making money in Lagos and paying taxes means development then you must be a big Fool. Dangote's investment alone superceedes all your contributions in Lagos.

My own definition of Development is building infrastructure, Yoruba Administrators are the ones building infrastructures from 1999 till date, they are the ones legislating the laws and policies developing Lagos.

Before 1999 the FG was the one developing Lagos and prior independence the British are the ones developing Lagos.

Are Igbos the only ones paying taxes in Lagos? I want us to trash out what you mean by developing Lagos.

Explain in detail how Igbos are developing Lagos.

I don't even hate Igbos as a Yoruba man but nairaland Igbos are beginning to make me hate the tribe as a whole.

Whether we like it or not everybody in this country has their boundaries, you cannot drag Kano or Kaduna with Hausa man, you cannot drag Lagos with a Yoruba man so like wise you cannot drag Anambra or Enugu with an Igbo man, if Nigeria should break up everybody will go to their papa house.

Nobody is undermining the contributions of Igbo businessmen and women in Lagos,they do their business and pay taxes like every other Nigerian citizen but Lagos is Yoruba land no matter how cosmopolitan it is,

London has a lot of Indians,Pakistani,Chinese investors, there are even areas you go to in London like Balham, you think you are in India or Pakistan but it still never changes the fact, London is in England and the English owns it.

He shouldn't have joined the demons, since he is not wearing Agbada, Yoruba demons wear Agbada simple. It is not about jealousy, the day I decide to cut my trouser one leg off, then it stops been a trouser.

ottohan:
But Banky W didnt complain that ebuka did not wear the right type of agbada naah...

You people think because he is Igbo and his Style is unique then they are Jealous of him, they are just pointing it out to him whatever innovation you must do to the Agbada make sure it still retains it basic look as Agbada. Once it slide away from the basic it then becomes something else. Besides he was part of the demons so it is necessary for him to wear Agbada.

Ebuka is his friend and why would he be complaining about a cloth on his wedding day.

Arysexy:
Did Ebuka tell you its agbada?

So why was he with the Demons.

Arysexy:
Afonja always bitter when they see omo Igbo beating them in their game.

Shameful lots

He wanted to beat Yorubas but ended up not sewing Agbada, it is simply not Agbada no matter how similar it looks to Agbada.

Tamakay:
Bad belle! Do your own Agbada and let it trend like Ebuka's own. Tribalism everywhere!

It is not Agbada simple as ABC

victorazyvictor:
Afonja and their jealousy. Ebuka plz watch your back o.

This is not about Jealousy or tribalism, it is about Ebuka trying to be different among the rest but ended up not sewing Agbada thinking he was sewing a Unique type of Agbada.

Banky W as a Yoruba man wanted demons as his Grooms men and demons wear Agbada.

If you don't wear Agbada then you can't fit as a Demon.

As much as the style is beautiful, it is simply not Agbada and he shdnt have been with the demons.

They must return that Statue back after the construction of the overhead bridge, it is one of the things that would remind Igbos that "Lagos is Yoruba land".

I am Proudly an Afonja Man.

nnokwa042:
Lagos is no man land ,if not that Nigeria is a useless country Igbo's supposed to governing Lagos state ,look at what Yoruba did to Egun people badagry and ilaje people ,Lagos is no Mans land, even this yeye gani Adams is from ekiti,

How do you guys even reason with your brains, first of all Ilajes are Yorubas indigenous to Ondo State.

Whether you are Ijebu,Ijesha,Awori,Egba,Ibadan,Oyo,Ife,Akoko,Okun,Ekiti,etc we are all called Yorubas.

Ijesha and Ife are indigenous to Osun state, Awori and Ijebu are indigenous to Lagos and Ogun state, Akoko is indigenous to Ondo state etc so I just wonder how u people reason.

We are all called Yorubas

Hehehe!!! another blow for the people from the gully-eroded land.

Listen and Listen good, Lagos is 100% Yoruba Land, All the Governors have called to congratulate him, Asiwaju has called to congratulate him. Do anyhow in Lagos and OPC will deal with you guys.

Respect yourselves and stay on your lane and you won't have problems with us.

Okoyiboz3:
All inner city roads named after Igbos must be changed.

Street naming is the duty of the Local Governments and getting a street named after you is not a privilege, it's a right. You can't be insulting us and we'll be immortalising your name in our documents and records.

They've beaten the drum and must be forced to dance to the rhythm of the drum they beat.

That is another issue we must table, I will do my own part in the next LG election in 2yrs time.

mofedamijo:
Abeg ooo,u see the yorubas re just kind hearted,they dont really mind who the chairman is,but lately igbos re feeling too fly thats y the yorubas re taking every slot back,funny enuf,if two yorubas re fighting any other tribe,most times yorubas will support the other tribes n tell the yoruba to leave the other tribe person alone.....nowadays i see more igbo conductors n danfo drivers,n yet the yorubas dont care,even the agberos give them thier respect n treat them differently,the agberos il b like omo igbo owo mi da,ma ba e ja ooo( igbo boy wey my money i go fight u ooo),n yet hin go leave the igbo guy,buh if na yoruba conductors hin go beat them comot seat join,but can a yoruba man be a driver in the east,i doubt...yorubas re accomodating,go to the island,hausas full thier,yorubas still mingle with them,just that the hausas dont chest beat n they respect each other...........i love the yorubas jare,am yoruba already sef....

You are right, even in my Church, my Pastor (Yoruba man) gifted an Igbo teenager with 5k for always coming to Church early. He knows his Parents are not too buoyant financially because they stay in an Uncompleted building on my street.

There is an Old student association I went with my mum, Christ Apostolic school Ketu of-course founded and built by a Yoruba Church and an Igbo man is the Vice-President of the association. All these and many more are some of the privileges we give to Igbos in Lagos.

We are the less tribalistic tribe amongst the 3 major tribes, we welcome everybody into our midst.

Okoyiboz3:
You'll live long and be a blessing to your generations.

I was warning those flatheaded piglets that they'll soon be forced to dance to the drum they're beating.

In 2019, we're collecting all our seats from the ones in the House of Reps and Assembly. I don't know how MC Oluomo slept off in Oshodi that one wawa Jew came to win elections there.

If PDP tries to put ANY Igbo candidate in Lagos, they won't be able to campaign not to talk of come out to vote. They should go and ask people of what happened to Onwa and that useless ACP Dan Okoro that was supporting Igbos to assault a Yoruba LG Chairman.

In 2019, we're collecting ALL our seats back.

We must raise that awareness and consciousness amongst our people, enough of the niceness to Igbos we must show authority in Lagos.

Lagos is no more the capital of Nigeria, they should move to Abuja and go and drag power with Gwaris and Hausa-Fulani.

nwabobo:
Governor Ambode is originally from Ondo state.

Says who a Flat head Igbo man like you.

nwabobo:
Seems you do not know he is a major owner of Access bank and sat on the board.

Stop lying to yourself, you forgot Google is there to verify claims, the CEO of Access bank is Aigboje Aig-Imoukhuede

kettykin:
Who are the real indigenes of Lagos state, is it the double mouthed societal nuisance running their mouth wide on social media or
the people of badagry, oshodi , Apanbon , lagos island etc that have being calmly and stealthly displaced from their inheritance by rogues from Osun, Ogun , Ondo , Kwara and Oyo.

Everyday for the thief but one day for the real owners of Lagos. the day of reckoning is coming soon .

See this Idiot, the real owners of Lagos are the indigenes. Lagos has five divisions called IBILE which stands for Ikeja-Badagry,Ikorodu-Lagos Island and Epe. Ikeja is Awori land, Badagry is Egun land(a Yoruboid group just like Itsekiri people) Ikorodu is Ijebu land, Lagos Island is Awori land, Epe is Ijebu land where I come from as well as Governor Ambode. Now Awori, Ijebu are both Yorubas.

Whether one is from Ondo,Osun,Ogun,Oyo,Kwara,Part of Kogi we are all Yorubas and have more rights in Lagos than an Igbo man from the East or the Hausa man from the North.

nwabobo:
Elizade bigger than Coscharis in your dreams. Coscharis main business till today is auto parts marketing and not the various motor vehicle franchises he holds. He markets all ABRO products in West and Central Africa

He's into pharmaceuticals, agriculture and FMCG as well as Banking.

This Man Stop bringing lies here which Bank does he own, Do you realize Toyota is the largest Auto Manufacturing company in the world and Elizade(Ade-Ojo) is the sole distributor of Toyota in West Africa.

kettykin:
was that not what Nnamdi Kanu was doing when some idiotic compound fools labelled him a terrorist and almost killed him and his aged father.

if Nigeria must remain one Insha Allah then an igbo man must rule lagos Shikena !!!

You are deceiving yourself, if you don't know only Indigenous people can rule a state, is Kano,PH,Abuja not Cosmopolitan like Lagos, Well everyone is free to dream just like Igbos will continue to dream of Ruling Lagos in their sleeps but will never happen in Reality.

You want to Rule Lagos and you don't think you need the support of the indigenous people whom you insult daily.

You guys can keep dreaming it is not a crime to dream.

kettykin:
Igbos should start warming up for the Gubernatorial seat of Lagos for 2019 , because that is where all this is leading to .

i cant see my kinsman pay tax of N500M and some idiots will tell me i am not qualified to contest for the Lagos seat.

No wonder some fools cried themselves hoarse when Nnamdi Kanu bestrode the length and breadth of the East in his quest for Biafra , only for the same fools that joined the Federal government to criticise him are now saying lagos is no man's land

One question for you is Ndigbo indigenous to Lagos? If "No" tell him to go back to Anambra and do his business there, so far he makes his money here in Lagos he must pay taxes to the Yoruba State Government.

I have never seen a Chest beating tribe like the Igbos in my life.

Elizade is bigger than Coscharis and would pay more taxes than Coscharis but you will never hear Yoruba's talk about it. What is wrong with this people sef are you the only ones that make money in this country.

Threebear:
In other words another list filled with Yoruba people?
You don't igbo and south south has about 10 or more states combined, that songs not popular in Lagos can be popular here?

Some of you Igbos need to get your heads checked

First of all, Lagos is the entertainment capital of Nigeria so whatever is reigning here is what it is in Nigeria.

I completely agree "If" by Davido is the biggest song of 2017 no argument.

Mad over you is not this year so remove it from the list.

OP 9ice - living things is definitely a top ten this year.

BINI KING giving yoruba immigrants head ache.
