An Igbo indigene has never been the governor of Lagos state till date, therefore any development happening or has happened in the past should be attributed to Lagos present and past leaders (Yorubas). Lagos development was traced back to Portuguese merchants and British colonialist using Lagos as port and administrative centre before the discovery oil. Lagos has been the most developed land before the era of ground nut pyramid, oil boom and Igbo/Hausa immigrants. Then, the word Nigeria was never in existence.

So how did Igbo built Lagos?
Igbos are known for businesses like clothing shops, spare parts, and other street hawking business. Can these businesses develop Lagos? Yes, they can contribute to the development of Lagos but not the large Chunk of development.
The way Igbo’s are into Spare Part and all, we also have Chinese, Lebanese, Indians traders in Lagos paying tax, yet they are not claiming to be solely developing Lagos.

Tax DSTV, MTN paying to Lagos state per month is more that the tax of 50,000 Igbo traders.

For enlightenment, these are the businesses making Lagos.

MTN, GLO, DSTV, schlumberger, Lever Brothers, Unilevers, Indo foods, FirstBank, GTBANK, TOTAL, Samsung, EKO Hotel, Cocacola and thousands of multinational firms.

With their tax alone, Lagos can develop at its own pace.

Finally, all tribes are contributing to the development of Lagos state. I know some mallams from Kano who have invested Billions in Lagos. Look out for Lagos Bureau de change. I have not seen any Hausa man claiming to built Lagos alone. Yorubas may be the dominating tribe, but Lagos was not built by Yorubas alone.

Yorubas are just beneficiary of the nature of Lagos. Sea, Port and Population.

Have your say.

APC loss in anambra is not a delusion

zenmaster:
The President Buhari did not know that Igbo enwe Eze.
APGA helped to reformat his brain and sent his APC mumuism back to abuja

Ojiofor:
I am not in anyway claiming Lagos and Igbos are not Indigenous to Lagos state likewise any Yoruba who is not from Lagos state.
And if you are not from Lagos state just keep quite.You can't come from Kwara and be claiming Lagos.
The original owners of Lagos state like Jimi Agbaje don't even make noise like you scratch faces from deep Oyo.Osun etc..

Khd95:
Dear anambrarians pls I want my state to be developed like lagos..can u epp me...edakun

zenmaster:
Tell this to Oba Akiolu

victor8269:
Ojukwu's son entered the APC to serve as an APGA spoiler

MightySparrow:
Nonsense thread. Igbo's made Lagos what it is now. Igbo man will one day rule in Oba of Lagos's palace.

Cjrane2:
The only sense you made in the long, entirely needless and tribalistic post.

If Enugu were capital of Nigeria, Yorubas will invest and build houses there just like other tribes did in Lagos and now doing in Abuja (Including Yorubas).

Nigerians, please stop hating yourselves!

liberalsinnerx:
80% of deposits in GT bank are by SE and SS. 70% of Lagos local loans are from Diamond, Zenith and Fidelity, all Igbo banks. Come again with another excuse?Useless things!

Shayetet13:
There is no argument. Without the Igbo and only because of the seaport, Lagos could as well just been like Oshogho or Ibadan. For once give it to them, the Igbos, they may not be good politicians but nobody can deny the fact that they are top top capitalist! They are top top business people!

Ojiofor:
Ebitu Ukiwe and Admiral Ndubuisi Kanu governed Lagos state maybe you are too young to know.
Lagos state belong to indigenous people of Lagos state not a Yoruba from Kwara or Osun.

updatechange:
Lagos state geographically belongs to no other than the Yorubas, collectively built by all I.e Portuguese, British etal. Lagos state was discovered by the Aworis originally from the Yoruba tribe while it was dominated by the Binins. The igbos became tenants during 1900s.�

Keep disgracing your parents my brother. It is within your rights and you are doing great at it.

MIPNIG:
Go through my posts you will see that all you naive folks from where ever you are coming from (Hausa Igbo or Yoruba) have been called out as “a disgrace to your upbringing”.
Project “disgrace to your parents” knows no tribe.

Alex Ekwueme is someone’s father and husband and you came online to call a dead man who is probably older than your father a “slave”? Tell me how that statement is not disgraceful?

Oh you think public figures fell from the sky? You don’t realise how disgraceful it is to speak ill of the dead? So because other people are doing it and getting away with it does not make it right.

Let it be on record that on the 20th of November 2017, you failed to live up to the expectations of your parents. It is entirely disgraceful.

MIPNIG:
I know and it is disgraceful to your parents that you can talk about someone’s mother. You simply buttressed my point.

Your mom will not hug you when you go home and tell her you spoke foul about someone’s mother. You are certainly a disgrace to your parents because no parent will be proud of your line of thinking.

oodualover:
He asked me to list other Yoruba states that are developed like Anambra and Abia, and I listed three that is more developed than those worthless states in the east

MIPNIG:
This is the disgrace I am talking about. Keep disgracing your parents with foul utterances online.
It has become common place for youths to speak as they like without content. Your definition of freee speech is to throw hate speech and tribal arrows online. Doing that amount to you disgracing your parents because I am sure they thought you better.
Go home and tell your mother that you insulted the dead today, and she will weep for your future.

Bidobado:
Tbh, this is how igbos stir up tribal hatred from other tribes, by constantly downplaying other people's achievements and struggles and Incorporating it as their own.
If you guys have solutions to all problems, why can't you replicate your success in lagos throughout the east.
Lastly, why are other tribes hell bent on claiming lagos from the Yorubas.

oodualover:
Oyo, Ogun, and Ondo.

MIPNIG:
Keep disgracing your parents. You may be invincible online but your conscience is awake. You are still same person who is highly thought of by your parents, nonetheless you have chosen to disgrace the good morals they put in you.

You should be ashamed for disgracing your parents. The dead man never even enter grave but you have decided to start disgracing your parents.
