XKZ: Does that give him the right to insult Lagosians?

gerald28: I just purchased a Zueasw airline ticket from Lagos to enugu, but I don't know much about this airline as I have not been in the country for about three years now, so I don't know much about this airline. I want to know about it's airworthiness and efficiency. And again, I have a total check in luggage of 92kg, am I going to be charged for extra luggage?? and if so like how much Please I need an urgent answer. Thank you for your kind reply.

igbo boy: go and deport them if no be mouth your power reach...

if yoroaba know say their power pass mouth make them begin mass deportation and dem dey go know say na PDP still dey rule the country A.k.A (Power. Dey. PassPower)

berem: every country right? Last time I checked,Lagos is a state and not a country.who are you to say who gets deported or not? I can see that it is non-lagosians who are yorubas are the ones making noise here! You people should encourage your governors to develop your states and stop worshipping Fashola.

adconline: An employee who does not know what it takes to own a business is calling business owners petty traders. You are employee because you don't have the balls to underwrite your own risks. Why are bankers like you always going after these traders?

yarodin: Yoruba when you say ingenuity are you talking about the Yoruba invention below ?

emmalexabl: U must be an AWORI and not Yoruba, otherwise u go clear follow the Igbos....

yarodin: LOL, I now understand what Yoruba manu wants. They want a one united Nigeria, but everyone stay in your area. Hehe, una never see anything yet, if Fashola like deport everyone out of Lagos we go still reenter. Abi no bi Nigeria all of us still dey? Useless olodos don't even know whether they want to break or still remain one Nejira.

victord1st: its even far frm being the largest igbo dominated congregation.
its hard to understd why pple frm the sw find it very easy to insult fellow human even in open forum.it goes along way to depict how morally bankrupt u hav become.ur forefather did a terrible job.

seanet01: This is one of the reasons why i said Ibos are Dumb lliars!! See the bolded, so how many people dey the church sef? baboon

seanet01: Of course you will said that Lagos belongs to all sundry, but deep inside you know that the original owners were the one stayed behind in 93 when you people started your coward yam festival in the east. No room for nonsense in Lagos, it is either you are submissive to our laws or you Bleep off to your erosion ravaged iboland. Clear?

Eziachi: The last we check, their is no country called Yorubaland rather than One Nigeria your forefathers sheds blood to keep as one.
Its either One Nigeria or One Yorubaland?
You can't have it both ways. Oil booty you run to Abuja every month to collect, non comes from your land if I may recall. Don't tell me Ondo state. its from Ijaw LAND hacked off from their among their brothers and thrown into Ondo by OBJ/Ayo Irikife boundary adjustment magic of 1978. HURRAY ONDO IS AN OIL STATE!!

As for appointing anybody, there are people of Nigerian heritage robbing shoulder with other MPs at Westminster in London and they don't go each them reminding them on how grateful they are.

PointB: [size=28pt]IGBOS SHOULD NOT VOTE ACN IN 2015. I CAN'T SAY THIS LOUD ENOUGH![/size]

xwolverine: Lets reason on the following points so as to arrive at a viable assumption that we can base the premise that IGBOs don't own Lagos.


According to CIA https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/geos/ni.html Nigeria is made up of the following ethnic groups: Hausa and Fulani 29%, Yoruba 21%, Igbo 18%, Ijaw 10%, Kanuri 4%, Ibibio 3.5%, Tiv 2.5%, 14.5% Others

If Lagos is a representation of Nigeria as a whole, then the 15 million people in lagos, would be made up of the following group of people:

*FULANI 4.35 million
Yoruba 3.15 million
IGBO 0.9 million
Ijaw 1.5 million
Kanuri 0.6 million
Ibibio 0.525 million
Tiv 0.375 million
others 2.175 million

*for reference, check out Agege, Yaba, Alaba Rago, mile 12, Abule-Egba parts of Lagos to verify this claim, and the margin for error would be ±0.5million for each ethnic group.

So, how can someone assume that Lagos is "owned" by the IGBOS? Remember, the same IGBO are also all over Abuja, Kano, Portharcourt, Delta.

okpara ugo: The picture shows me a hale and hearty red BRT bus.

victord1st: 6 banks.this is pure prostitution,settle down bro.
Alaba int'l collectively makes more T/O than all the listed coy put together.

Da infamous: so all those roads build by lagos state and other projects come from yoruba treasury right? ok how many yoruba companies in Lagos contribute to that 30 billion as you claimed,lagos has over 17 million people in those 17 million,how many of them are yorubas? let check by ratio,let say beacuse yoruba towns and villages are closer to lagos than other states so it make sense why they have more yorubas people migrating to lagos including area boys on the streets and slums.

The state govt generate internal revenue through investors in the state, are yorubas the main investors in lagos? and pls can u name them,because you lot have sold most of ur lands and become tenants so where do u stand....

Da infamous: pls can u tell us what yorubas have contributed in the union? because Lagos 3rd mainland bridge and other big projects comes from FG treasury not from yoruba treasury..

victord1st: mildly put,igbos owns over 50% of properties in lagos i dont need any useless statistics to prove that.We own lagos.

hunkydory: Little wonder they say Nigerian graduates are unemployable.He does not even know what is commerce neither does he know what is petty trading.Merchants and importers that abound in alaba international and trade fair are petty traders?You are deplorable.

Ann77: I thought laws are supposed to be made for the people?
So why is Fash not listening to us when we say, bikes are VERY NECESSARY in Victoria Island and Ikoyi?

Why do our government always resort to "if you can't control them, just ban them"

k2wise: Am not from the east but, I personally think without the ibos in lagos, commerce could come to a halt, who will run Alaba international, trade fair etc. They control 70 percent of the commercial activities in lagos and the others to my lazy brothers who would rather do politics and be chairman of one bus park or one street collecting tolls.

Classicalman: Let me say this for the umpteempth time, and to the hearing of all Yoruba Igbo haterz: "Get it through your thick Yoruba skulls: There is nothing you cowards can do to Igbos in Lagos. The day una go try rubbish, we go send una packing"

DJTee: Swapping or sacking commissioners is no palliative for non-performance in Oyo State.......His Excellency should keep in mind that the people of Oyo will sack his entire party (ACN) if no tangible results are obvious by 2015.

He has been forwarned
