Very important point raised by a brilliant administrator

I've canvassed this position at several forums

There is the London Stock Exchange

The New York Stock Exchange

Why can't we have the Lagos Stock Exchange? Abuja? Ibadan?

@ least use Osun state as a yardstick

Hmm Osun

Let me think

Osun state's GDP for 2012 is higher than the GDP of any SE state

Just the same small list of ppl. u see what I mean when I say u don't own up to 15% of Lagos properties and ventures?
I can't begin to list the Igbo man enterprises and transport companies, buildings, etc.
lwkmd

Oya list them

He missed out Okoya who unarguably owns nothing less than 5% of real estate on the island

Otudeko is also into real estate

Folawiyo owns just as much as Okoya if not more

Not to mention the Abiola family, then Subomi Balogun, Late Tayo Aderinokun, Victor Osibodu, Ajose Adeogun

Just mention one and for every one you list, I will give you two I promise

Igbos do more than trading in Lagos, thanx.
How can these few ppl up there be the only ones making Lagos what it is, hypocritez

Every fraudster, armed robber or kidnapper of Igbo origin arrested in Lagos usually has a shop they use as a front

It's happened again and again and again

So I agree they do more than trading in Lagos

russellino: While solid omoluabi like Otudeko are making waves and building empires, penniless junkies like ffk are forming "yoruba achilles". Lmao

FFK is the Principal Partner in a thriving law firm

He has massive investments in real estate and that I know

While a good number of successful Yorubas own factories, FFK is also successful in his own right in what he has chosen to do

Business / Otudeko To Establish Multibillion Naira Factories In Abia by geeez: 10:45pm On Nov 22, 2013
Honeywell Group of companies is to establish two multi-billion naira factory in Abia for both cassava processing plant and solid minerals such as cement production. The Chairman, Honeywell Group, Dr Oba Otudeko made this Know during a programme to sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the state government in Abia. Otudeko said his company is willing to investing in the state because of the security structure that has been put in place by the present administration. Otudeko said that they are going to establish a cassava processing plant because of the large cassava farms that are scattered in different parts of the state while the solid mineral like lime stone which are abound around Arochukwu area, will have a cement factory. The Honeywell boss said that his company is strong in different areas of the economy like food processing, agriculture, energy, real estate among others, stressing that they have been eying Abia state for a very long time. He said, “We have been interested in Abia state for a long time because of its agricultural potentials, human and other resources, which is why we refused to go to countries outside the country. Our company have been lured by such countries like Zambia, Ghana, Senegal and Guinea, but we prefer to invest in this state”. The Honeywell boss said that his company will always prefer doing business in Nigeria like Abia state, stressing that the state has been giving them all the necessary cooperation the company needed to establish any flourishing venture in the state. Otedeko maintained that his company is fully committed in working withthe state government, adding that the business they are going to establish will be on Public Private Partnership [PPP], “As every business is about success based on clear commitment which we will give to the state when we start”. He praised the governor for his commitment in developing the state andassured the governor that his company will replicate what the state government is doing in the state once they start their operations in the state, “As we are ready to partner with the state to ensure that business ventures flourish here”. Responding the state governor, Chief Theodore Orji said that the state is in an economic revolution and is ready to partner with any genuine business group that will help the state and its people to improve on its economic potentials. Orji said that the state is attracting core business ventures which he attributed to the ability of the state government to control the security challenges it faced some time ago, adding that the state government is ever ready to sustain the security it fought hard toget. The governor said that Honeywell is investing in the state because, “Of our large percentage of both human and natural resources and we are willing to partner with any group that is ready to invest in the state and tap into our numerous resources for the benefit of such group and the state”. He regretted that before now that fraudsters have been coming into the state with bogus business ideas, “Once we give them the certificate of occupancy they will run away with the intention of using the land for a different business venture. We are wiser now as we doing business with genuine companies like Honeywell”. Orji assured the group that the state government will provide them with all the necessary support they require to succeed in any type of business they will want to establish in the state and urged them to look towards the youths of the state during their employment period.

the warrior72: Now I understand u., But I & u knew that it's applied to every region/state in Nigeria. In my opinion I would say that SW state enjoy a little autonomy than the rest of the states.
On the economic growth witnessed in SW especially in lagos, I can authoritatively say that it's been driven by economics activities of the igbos,federal government& other Nigerians,I would say yoruba contribution to the growth of lagos economy is of insignificant.which I & u knew that civil servants does not contribute to the growth of any economy.
Anyways kudos to government of lagos& some SW state for good government policies& business friendly atmosphere, not forgetting the FG

This thread will reveal the contribution of Igbos in Lagos

https://www.nairaland.com/1367007/examining-lagoss-gdp-figures/1#19727773

Quite insignificant

Lagos owes its good fortune to investments by dogged Yoruba and multinational industrialists and investors

ASL33: The biggest which is manufacturing Igbos contribute more than 30%, road transport more that 40%, banking: more than 30%, telecom: almost 50%, retailing: 80%, real extate: more that 40%. Igbos are well represented in every sector of the Economy which Fashola know too well.

When a man has a vision and drive, he will surround himself with people that can help him achieve his dreams

Ogun is fast developing and is currently Nigeria's most industrialized state with my darling Lagos in second position.

If you drive along Lagos-Ibadan Expressway alone, the number of factories that have sprung up and under construction will amaze you. This isn't even an area originally designated to be an industrial area

A drive through the vast industrial estates long established in the state will further wow you, with new multinational factories coming to life while the moribund ones are getting revived

The number of construction works going on and their quality is also amazing

Increasing its IGR from N730m to over N4bn monthly in two years is no mean feat

With the resources available, he can easily partner with and attract the investment required to move the state to the next level

God bless Ogun

chidindufrank: The foools forgot that Igbos owns 600% of the manufacturing firms in lagos. We own lagos and you guys can't shiit about it.

You own no brain cells that function

That's so evident in your post

You don't even own 100% of trading which contributes less than 9% to our GDP in Lagos

Yorubas are typically industrialists while Igbos are traders

Most of the factories in Lagos not owned by Yorubas are owned by multinational companies

I'm a member of MAN Lagos and the chambers of commerce and Igbos don't make up to 20% where Yorubas constitute over 50%

veraponpo:

So all the claims by our Igbo brothers and sisters that they are the ones building Lagos economy is totally insignificant. So they are the ones enjoying Lagos by making money....

Thank God for a report like this. Whole sale/Retail meaning commercial activities are less than 9% of the economy of Lagos. All the Ladipo, Alaba, Trade fair market people are just making money for themselves... They will travel to the East in December to spend money made in Lagos.

Thank God for Lagos because their economies only get stimulated in the SE in December

Rather than asking Lagos to be grateful for having them around, they and their states should have Lagos to thank

Their businesses aren't making a difference in the economy of Lagos and her income

karl max: So some hypocrites actually know that one has to be found guilty by a competent court before that person is punished.

When it involves apc thieves , the court has to find them guilty before their e rats would ask him to be removed or punished

But when it comes to the FG and the pdp once a news media publishes a beer parlour corruption story the resident e rats on nairaland would find whoever is involved guilty without a fair hearing. They would scream for that individual to be sacked before his been pronounced quilty or even taken to court


We know where you are going

Just tell us why the person you are defending hasn't been invited by this same EFCC?

The bigger idiosyncrasy is seeing people line streets to support her without asking that she be tried and if found blameless, set free

No one is calling for her resignation but investigation and prosecution if found culpable

This is what Ikuforiji is facing and but Stella may never
