@mekaboy: I feel for your likes coz you're obviously in the minority. YOu may end up seeking asylum after Nigeria inevitably grants Biafra her independence (God speed that day!). Either that or you become an instant victim of Kanu's purge of Biafran sabos.

The mugu is pained

Pained about what exactly? Wait, I'm coming with my own exhaustive (rigged) list of the top 80 Richest Nigerians that show Yorubas in the top 60. And I don't give a flying fvck if you believe it.

Noneroone:
did you read the article

Guy, even Nnamdi Kanu claim say Goodluck Jonathan na Igboman . Are you saying Goodluck is more Igbo than Dakuku during electioneering? ?

Demmocrats:
He wants votes from ibos

IF GEJ can claim igbo (Ebele) to get Igbo votes why can't Dakuku?

Nice try with your 419. No be only top 30, you for make am top 50. You will have better luck peddling hard drugs like your fellow kinsmen that peddling your cooked-up list.

Lol. This thread stinks coz the OP obviously pulled its content out of his stinking a$$

menabadoo:
we won't rest until we use Lagos to build the whole of Igbo land, from Asaba to abakaliki, whereas Ibadan will remain an urban jungle.

Anu

Hahahahaha. Ode oshi. We don collect all our money back via heavy taxes on your parasitic asses. Haven't you noticed that your people have started trafficking drugs coz trading no sell again o. Even the properties you think you own in Lagos will be reposessed when that time comes -- It would be like PH/Rivers state all over again/De Ja Vu. By the time we are finished with you people, una no go see common kpata or boxers comot Lagos. Olofo like you.

kettykin:
Go through the trail posts, all of the banks, oil and gas industry, telecommunications have their head quarters in lagos and contribute the PAYE in lagos

That ain't my fault that the Big players chose the SW over the SE. Igbos are all over the country, especially in the North, yet we no see that reflect in those states' IGR, but una wan claim Lagos? ? Ko ni ragba fun gbogbo yin.

oga, lagos is no man's land. Even ghanians know that

Werey

Boy, the only stake you have in Lagos is inside the Lagoon, and we go still collect rent on top. Mora focka omo nna

kettykin:
You can as well mention companies that has filed for bankruptcy like Odua telecom, Dunlop, HITV, AIR NIGERIA. I am talking about viable companies that still pay their staff salaries and PAYE . Is bicourtney a company? Or nicon insurance still existing, elizade has too few staff to count,.

Igbo contribution to Lagos IGR is inconsequential. #FACT. The same compaines in Lagos can be found in the East so why e no reflect for una IGR for that cursed/forsaken wasteland? If una get levels why Anambra IGR less pass Ebonyi? Guy, you people are a bunch of fools. Una no shame to claim credit for 'developing' other people's land while yours remains a no-go area and keeps experiencing more migration than any other in the country. Lagos ain't "Igweocha" o.

menabadoo:
Lagos is not yorubaland

Onyeara . Lagos ain't no 'igweocha' o . Una don begin claim PH coz Lagosians don put you all in your place. Go talk that shyt in PH not Lasgidi. Lagoon things.

menabadoo:
well, SS is my region, but why didi SE beat five SW states without lagos.

Poor region.

Lol. Ode omo ye.ebo. Even if we dash una 100billion out of Lagos money we go still beat una like drum.

Symphony007:
shut your stinking lying mouth. That is a fact attested by the IMF, world bank and other agencies, did GEJ and iweala infiltrate those too?

Fvck the imperialist IMF and World Bank. We're talking about the same duo that wrecked the country's economy and oversaw the looting of billions of dollars worth of funds? You must be out of your mind.

NewNigeriaMind:
Same model same standard all over the city

S.A is Africa's closest shot at first-World status.

oduastates:
Largest economy mu butt

That Largest economy BS was a straightup LIE. Only an ignoramus would fall for that GEJ/Iweala mischief. They merely cooked-up some figures and abracadabra, we became number 1. Yeah, right!

[size=18pt]Kunle Adeyemi (founder of NLE Architects) Designs a Solar-Powered Floating School for the Flood-Prone Coastline of Nigeria[/size]


For the community of Makoko of Lagos, Nigeria life on the water is nothing new. Prone to flooding, residents have dealt with encroaching waters for generations by building houses on stilts and using canoes as their main source of transport. Now, with the threat of sea level rise from climate change, and developers who want to tear the community down, Makoko is in a state of uncertainty. Nigerian-born architect Kunle Adeyemi has a vision for the city of 250,000 people that involves constructing a group of floating structures that have better access to sanitation, fresh water, and waste disposal. His first endeavor would be to build a three-story school held afloat by plastic drums.

After a trip to Makoko in 2009, Adeyemi was inspired to improve upon the main primary school that served the waterside settlement. His design, which will accommodate 100 students, will use 256 plastic drums to keep it resting on top of the water, and the frame will be constructed with locally-sourced wood. Electricity would be provided by solar panels on the roof, and rainwater harvesting would help operate toilets. The school is nearly finished, and the entire cost should total around $6,250.

Projects like Adeyemi’s could be the beginning of a trend followed throughout coastal Africa. “The building can be adapted for other uses, such as homes or hospitals. Ultimately, it’s a vision that can be used to sustainably develop [African] coastal communities.” said Adeyemi. While the government is reluctant to permanently establish the dozens of settlements in the city’s waters, tentative backing has been given by local officials. In recent years, nearby cities in Lagos have been reclaiming the water using land pumped from the ocean floor. Adeyemi’s strategy would work with the propensity for storms and rising tides to flood the area instead of fighting against them, setting a possible example for future developments in the country.

[size=18pt]Printivo Closes On 6-figure Seed Funding From EchoVC Partners[/size]

Lagos. Thursday 15 October 2015 – Nigeria-based digital printing startup, Printivo, has closed on seed financing from early-stage technology venture capital firm, EchoVC Partners.

The six-figure investment will be used to significantly broaden the company’s product range, increase headcount, accelerate customer acquisition and scale the business. Initially servicing Nigeria’s booming SME sector, Printivo is poised to capitalise on and grow Nigeria’s $200M print market, which has until now, had no credible online presence.

From $6 in 2011, Africa’s print industry is currently estimated to grow to $9B annually by 2016, as businesses invest in design and print to keep up with African consumers’ increasing visual literacy, brand adoption, and uncompromising demand for quality. A self-styled ‘Vistaprint for Africa’, the year-old Printivo provides the only fully automated online print service for over 3,000 customers, providing local and international businesses with corporate stock collateral, such as business cards, letterheads and notepads, and has seen y-o-y growth of 200% since its launch in 2014.

Prior to Printivo, there has been little to no innovation in the print industry in Africa’s largest economy. Market-wide challenges for Africa’s print industry have historically included the high cost of printing, lack of graphic designers, poor customer service and time-intensive ordering practices, making top quality printing all but unaffordable for the super-majority of small businesses. With founders that have spent their entire lives in the print industry, Printivo is the first to build a full service digital platform, in conjunction with a visual creative & design community, to service the small business sector, offering free online templates, design support, a custom upload service, e-commerce, nationwide delivery and high quality customer service turnaround. Printivo is also rapidly growing its consumer
base, with a focus in particular on Nigeria’s multi-million dollar wedding industry.

Olu’yomi Ojo, Printivo Co-Founder and CEO says, “Securing institutional seed financing means we can accelerate the growth of our online print services & community platform and achieve the ambitious targets we have set for ourselves, as we transform an industry that has, until now, lacked digital infrastructure, investment and innovation. We can now transition print from bricks & mortar ‘mom-and-pop’ stores that struggle to scale and meet quality requirements, to online ordering and direct delivery, while enabling job creation and distribution. We are in the process of removing the friction for companies that want access to great design, transparent pricing, high quality products and fast turnaround on orders. Simple, yes, but something local printers have historically been unable to provide.”

“In EchoVC, we have found an investor and partner who has a complete understanding in growing and scaling eCommerce businesses and who sees the enormous growth opportunity Africa’s print industry presents.”

With revenues rapidly growing at 50% quarter-over-quarter, Printivo has secured contracts with leading global brands operating in Nigeria, including Google, Uber, Samsung, DHL and Etisalat. After one year of operation, they have serviced over 3,000 customers and currently on track to fulfilling 1,000 orders per month. The company is now clearly positioned to be the primary print outsourcing partner to the 17 million active Nigerian SMEs in Africa’s largest economy, with a goal to be the Pan-African e-print platform of choice.

Wale Ayeni, Investment Director at EchoVC Pan-Africa Fund adds: “The lightning speed at which Printivo has changed Nigerian SMEs’ print purchasing habits and built a customer base that runs into the thousands is impressive, and was a key driver in our decision to invest. EchoVC sees print in Africa as one of the continent’s ‘iceberg micro-economies’, a below-radar but very large and viable industry with enormous scope for growth. The team’s homegrown expertise and innate understanding of the market, their commitment to great design and innovation in print, their ability to grow long lasting customer relationships and their focus on customer service equates to them being best placed to lead the digital printing revolution on the continent. The founders’ focus on building a community of co-dependent participants in the print economy has also kick-started significant
job creation possibilities.”

See how you keep lying all over the place by spewing all sorts of crap, No one knew all those local Dramas apart from Yorubas. Igbos started Nollywood so just deal with it!

Lol. Smh. The igboman has some serious and chronic inferiority complex issues, so much so that he sees every issue from a yoruphobic worldview. Smh again. This thread is about non-yorubas in an indigenous Yoruba film sector but the igboman still can't help feeling inferior over this too.

Guy, If it gives you a hard-on or make you feel better so be it. Knock yourself out bwoy. .

winniz:
The only Pained people here are you lots crying all over the place desperately trying to rewrite history Those your unknown local Yorubas dramas were watched only by you lots so just deal with it

Lol. Dude, quit making a fool of yourself, please. We are talking about Cinema movies here, hello?? You need Cinema screens to watch those, which due to no fault of the Yorubas you lot were too poor and wretched to indulge in and afford At least some of those films made it to some European Cinemas, a feat that Nollywood films of today are finding it difficult to replicate (an industry which your folks have reduced to a worthless and piracy-infested joke no thanks to churning out trash).

Do you have any idea how much it cost to produce films on Celluloid during that period? ? Besides Things fall apart, mention any other noteworthy movie produced by your lot during that period. Even your much celebrated home video debut, Living In Bondage, was predated by Yoruba home-videos on video cassettes. If you don't know,you better ask somebody rather than acting a fool.

winniz:
They were all local Yoruba Dramas not Cinema films watched only by you lots. So the only people who should be ashamed of themselves are You Yorubas trying to rewrite history.

Lol. See painment. Your ignorance can be excused considering that at the time Igboland was in ruins as a result of the war so you lot could barely afford to feed let alone cultivate a Cinema-going culture that would expose you to those blockbusters. . Ignorance, they say, is bliss.

Noneroone:
Are you lots only being stupid or do you mean to annoy people with common sense.
we all know the difference between soap opera, cinema and home video. cinema and soap opera predates nollywood. both Igbos and yolobas started cinema and soaps before nollywood which was heralded by "living in bondage"
Before living in bondage there was ichoku, village headmaster, things fall apart, zebrudaya etc many actor of nollywood like nkem owoh pete edochie, pete eneh, fabian adibe, sam loco efe, justus esiri etc featured in things fall apar,t yet it is not considered part of nollywood because it was not on VHS

Yolobas only acted stage performances and later soapopera. Therfore Igbo founded and "owns" nollywood. even at that Igbos have more popular tv series and soaps. Dont get too emotional about it.

Guy, you should be ashamed of yourself for repeatedly making this ignorant assertion of yours in this day of the internet and google. That you all were living in caves or still recovering from Biafra war during the period of the 70s and 80s and therefore couldn't afford to enjoy the recreational privileges of Cinema-going doesn't mean the rest of us also did same. Yorubas were watching Yoruba Cinema while the Nigerian army was using Biafrans as target practice. i guess that explains your ignorance. The following movies were shot on Celluloid for the Cinema audiences by Yorubas in the 70s and 80s. Thank me later:

Taxi Driver (Ade Love)
Omo Orukan (Oga Bello)
Orun Mooru (Baba Sala)
Kana Kana
Jaiyesimi (Hubert Ogunde)
Ireke Onibudo
Aiye (Hubert Ogunde)
Aropin Ntenia, etc

Stop misinforming people, what Clarion Chukwurah did then were stage plays not Cinema films.
