Desola: Yorubas should stop all these talks and start boycotting their markets, abi?

They came to situate their markets in your land because they want your patronage. If you stop patronising them and take your business to your fellow Yoruba traders would they continue to thrive? Afterall, you are their biggest market. The power is in your money and how and where you choose to spend it.

Start patronizing your own and start sensitizing your people!

Shikena!

emmalexabl: Another deluded Yoruba..
Omo ale jati jati like you referring your igbo masters as vampires. .wtf !!
Need i remind you that the ever industrious igbos have bought most of your landed properties in SW and are still buying even as i
write.
And guess what ?? They are buying its from those lazy ass yorubas !!
So you see we are the landlords and you., the tenants
@mod..make i no look for my post ooo!!!!

Austine.E:
typical of a yoruba man,you got into a fight with him,he starts by calling passer-by and his nieghbours to come oo,that you want to fight them oo.imagine this slippery creature,while the possibility of a battle between igbos and yorubas is being discussed,this tout is busy calling on Hausas,Nupe,Edos etc as those who will do the fight.Even within the Yoruba-parapo cycle,they know very well that igbos are in a different class from yorubas,a world ahead of yorubas in anyway you want it.Because Lagos was developed by federal govt and our common-wealth,as the former federal capital,every yoruba d i c k and harry is jumping into the band wagon of 'lagos has the highest GDP and most developed',i just hope that the Gwari people of Abuja shld also claim responsibility for developing Abuja....am eargly waiting for the dimwits to develop Osun,Ekiti,Ogun,Ondo and the brown zinc Ibadan!or are they nt yoruba states.

FSU: ^^^^^
This time the war will be fought and won in Lagos. Try any shit and Lagos will be levelled to the ground. With Lagos gone, Yoruba will become super beggars. They are already beggars and the poorest southerners even with Lagos. Lagos will be the battle ground where Igbos will crush you.

Rhino.5dm:
If na tinubu wife or daughter dey succeed am now, these same bigoted toads would've started crying more than the bereaved. But since na thier own, she automatically becomes the most competent.
Bigotry can cause myopia and selective amnesia.

Tolexander: Possible, because the land supports the cultivation than other zones.

Eze Promoe: [color=crimson]EKO is a Benin word. Lagos belongs to the Benin people, but the Europeans came with their divide and rule tactics, and disbanded the Benin Oba and chiefs in Lagos, because Benin people, like Igbo people, are very rebellious. They had to install an Ijebu king because he licked their boot and gave them slaves free of charge.
We all know that typical Yorubas in Oyo, Ondo etc, wouldn't allow a stranger to prosper in their land before they take his picture to one Ifa priest to stab.[/color]

Just like the Obi of Onitsha was a Hausa man imposed by the Brits. That's why they are you lords and masters who can give and take your lives at will, while the Yorubas are those that educate you, feed you and clothe you starting from Awo to BRF. That's why the Hausas can do whatever they like and none of your lily livered leaders can fight. It's only Yorubas that have shown they are fearless in the face of death, guns, threats ever since independence. Even the bravest of your people fled to Ivory Coast dressed like a pregnant woman. Show me one Igbo man that has fought against an armed oppressive government or led a protest. Just one ,

BinghiNya: 98% of cd pirates are igbo, 58% of local prostitutes are igbo, 63% ritualists are igbo, 82% armed robbers are igbo, 88% nigerians in foreign prisons are igbo, 72% igbo are drug pushers www.igbodiasporia.com

That's why their perceived money making doesn't show up in the state's GDP

Someone said 7 out of every 10 things he buys are sold by Igbos. Maybe it depends on where he's buying his things because most of the things I buy are sold by South Africans, Chinese and Indians

I also read some disillusioned wasp's post that the sectors I listed which make most of Lagos's GDP are controlled by Igbos

Manufacturing, Transportation, Building and Construction are Yoruba controlled

Trading makes up 8.39% and I insist there are a lot of Yoruba wholesale traders but even if you gave the Igbos 100% of trading, they contribute less than 9% of the state's GDP so park

ichidodo: Yeribas see igbos and they start hating, we look at you guys and we see money;The one we will make out of your own expense.Aint we boldaceously awesome?.Keep hating...

ichidodo: yiddy-yadda-yadda.Keeping wallowing in self delusion.Igbos are making money, everywhere we go, everything we touch, people can attest to our industry,courage and never-say-die spirit. I can understand where all this hate and jealousy is coming from. Fear. The fear of the igbo people by the yeribas, after decades of subjugation by the pig Awo, we are now up to par and in some spheres of our society overtaken the yeribas; So i very much understand the bad belle and allow me to say the fear is well founded because we eat cowards like your people for breakfast.Start anything and you'd see why Lagos is called no man's land.

geeez: [b]We are not envious because we are successful

If you look at the GDP of Lagos, trading doesn't make up to 10% of it

What we see are malls and shops where authentic merchandise are sold and not fake and adulterated items these guys flood our markets with

Seven different sectors dominate economic activities in Lagos State, led by manufacturing which, interestingly, contributes 29.60 percent of the state’s GDP figures. Road transport follows closely contributing an average of 26.47 percent of economic activities in the state.

Other sectors in order of dominance include building and construction (19.60 percent); wholesale and retail (8.39 percent); telecommunications (3.71 percent); financial institutions (3.51 percent); and real estate (2.01 percent).

The seven sectors account for 93.39 percent of economic activities in the state.

Apart from wholesale and retail which I believe Yorubas control up to 50% of, none of the other sectors listed is controlled by any other tribe apart from the Yorubas[/b]

sage_: No man has ever prospered out of envy. The Igbos will always factor in whatever cost they incur into the prices of goods and services. In the end, it is the buying public, which cut across all tribes, that bears the burden of this extortion. It is as simple as that.

ichidodo: So sorry to disappoint you as we igbos ain't educated illiterates like your people and pls don't die of shock if i know a thing or two of the gentleman's game its not your fault if sophistication is beyond you, i guess agbero and touting are popular past times of the yoruba race next to listening to pasuma or ogbesere so its not your fault etc and if there is anybody that needs shipping its your black ugly jealous ekiti claiming lagos self back to your rocky burrow pits.Comprende?!

ichidodo: Go home,go home go home thay is all i can deduce from these ugly freaks of nature called yeribas.Pls note that the igbos are not moving an inch from your land because it is just too sweet and if i catch any lazy,dirty mofos any where near my complex if not for the real authorities tryna exhort my biz am going to take a golf club and bash his head in and by the way f**k awo.

toothpaste: ^^^^

Come on shut that your odious and sh1tty mouth you am*la

Loud mouthed scumbags. All you do is constantly open your *mouth ashion* all day while your dirty women eat snakes in the market and scream when they see octopus. S+W = Dirty for real o

ldpele: my igbo brothers,make una beat them well well. yoruba pple no get strength. if theifnbu come sef,mke una break him head. na envy dey cos this one,na rochas i blame we go dey follow deceitful pple like una

Sincere 9gerian: Good we now know the Lagos state GDP in relation to the national GDP. But can we also know the contribution of Lagos state to national CORRUPTION? It will be good to also break down CORRUPTION on a state-by-state basis. The Lagos State Govt should help us calculate its CONTRIBUTION to corruption in Nigeria.

achi4u: And for the record 'a yoruba man cannever out smart an Igbo man'; deal with it.

Yorubas down East are more of a dead destitute and very unclean beggars than their uncles up north (apologies to our northern brothers)

Remove igbos in Sw and you have a big forest

me_for_you: Lagos was a former colony of britain and former federal capital. the original inhabitants of lagos were binis and freed slaves from south america.
lagos has never and will never be yorubaland.
all the stupid yorubas making noise here are the fools that dont know their villages in the states of osun, ekiti and the rest.
lagos was developed by igbos. and are still owned by igbos economically. and any attempt to deny us our fundamental human rights will be severely resisted.
south east governors should start by packing all the beggars in south east and go and dump them in lagos

achi4u: Fashola is somhow biting the fingers that are feeding him and his lousy/lazy uchiins.

I foresee Lagos enconomy collapsing within a very short time.

collynzo2: Developed south west? Outside Lagos no south west state can be compared to Enugu or even Imo state. Na wa from u o!
