Somebody said if you goto the poorest parts and slums of Lagos, immigrants predominate those places (Bariga, makoko, Orile, Ajegunle, Boundary, Okokomaiko, etc..... Ijora is an exception, it is an old slum occupied by Ilajes/Ijaws) and majority of the immigrants in thos eplaces are igbos that came to Lagos to experience the Lagos Dream.
Now, it stands to reason that in any society, immigrants are usually the poorest, on average, especially when they just arrive.
They cant afford rents in expensive places, if they can afford rent at all and they usually cluster in slums, living with one another until they can find their feet.
This is the same everywhere, America, UK, Russia, Canada, China, ~Thailand, just name it.

So, it is not rocket science when any one says the Igbos dominate most of the slums in Lagos, it is just so obvious and stands to reason.
There is a slum behind my estate, separated with a very high fence wall.
When l am on the second floor Penthouse, what l see behind those walls is very scary, the poverty, the population, the drugs, the criminality, the
teenage pregnancies and sexual assaults, the deadly fights with dangerous weapons, the Prostitute brothels, child malnutrition, diseases due to lack of water, etc.
But as we have seen, the good thing is that some have been able to work their way up the ladder over time and become financially stable.

[s]The man should be blamed less but the person videoing him doing it should be dealt with. why can't he inform the people around in other to command the man to pack it, peradventure he was doing it ignorantly. I don't understand our problem it this country, we are always very active to video activities but slow in acting right. I pity those that attended the funeral, they should all be quarantine[/s].

pressplay411:
[s]After listening to the recorder of this video and some comments on here, I can see why God has exalted Hausas above every other tribe in Nigeria. And they'll continue to rule us if we don't change our ways

Nigerians complain of discrimination abroad. How the whites and Chinese are racist and South Africans are xenophobic. But guess what, we are the worst. Even among our own fellow Nigerians, we discriminate in the worst way.
The way igbos and yorubas are so tribalistic towards Hausas is worse than any N-word ever used against a black man in America or any stunt pulled by the KKK back in the day or worse any police brutality against blacks. The name calling and animal labelling is cringe-worthy. Why?

We need to change and start making the change immediately. A generation no doubt passed this onto us, we can't afford to pass it on to the coming generations.

Please, respect every human being regardless of tribe.
I still maintain that Hausas are ruling is in Nigeria because God always has a way of standing up for the oppressed.

God bless Nigeria[/s].

Omeizadean:
I think u re dumb to want to deny the guy is an igbo who attacked him first by hailing insult on his father.
The igbo people have retinue of mediocre leaders who suppose to be the headache of any igbo youths that love his future and that of his unborn generation but mbanu na Hausa leader be ur problem.
A certain governor is known for sharing a liter of kerosene, a wrap of eba and corroded iron bed which were badly refurbish to his citizen during time of needs whereas the Northern governor are completing worthy edifices etc.

[s]Good he apologised..but he never mentioned rape as the ipod miscreants painted it[/s].

My only advice to you is to stop drinking Namdiot Coward Cownu's unrine in place of real apple juice. It's not good for your physical and mental health. Seek mental help from a Board Certified Psychiatrist fast before you end up naked at the market square.

Done responding to your infantile diatribes -----NOW STFU AND GET LOST.

Lagos Lagoon is open and ready for you 24/7 in case you are unable to cure your mental instability.

Confused retarded brainwashed monkey, GET LOST.

Omeizadean:
[s]You igbos thought it's ur absolute right to sit in every known social platform and criticize and insult northern leaders.
Am yet to find anywhere they direct such hatred to their own leaders in the east.
Furthermore it's rare to find where Hausa people jump on every eastern leader's scrotums to leech.
Yet the north is steadily progressing.
Nairaland here is over flooded with developments from north and it's so hard to find such from the east.
But this yeastern yoots don't know any different they are like he goats inhaling the urine of goats on heat. They will never see any wrongs from their governors etc.
What do u people expect the son of El Rufai to do when u constantly besieged his dad?[/s]

Ayoefa:
[s][/s]

I don't argue with retarded brainwashed fools. Pls get lOST.

Ayoefa:
Not totally true. I saw the post from the other boy accusing El Rufai of being a pedophile by the way he was holding a young girl ina photo. I wish I have the real tweet. It was after that that Rufai's son posted about thr boy's mother. I would have said worse if anyone post such about my parents especially at that age.

Theboss100:
You are such a terrible human being. You think you are doing the good people of Rivers. Na yourself u dey do. The post was designed to rubbish PH. Those places u posted showed how ur thinking faculty works. Very poor. That's not the beautiful PH where rich people reside. That's poor settlement for poor people like you. I understand u sha

Kinematics:
[s]70% of the youths in Rivers are not Riverians. 50% are from the east, so do your math..[/s]

engrchykae:
America only help the enemy of their enemy.
Eg helping Taiwan is to give Americans foothold around the Chinese mainland.
Helping north Korea is to checkmate south Korea.
Creating war scenarios where its not.if Taiwan starts doing better than the Chinese, Americans will come for Taiwan.

AfricaNigerian:

Why did he mention Tinubu if his intention is not a snide at his ethic group?

nokatakata:
[s]These low self esteemed MFs have started again. Always painting that false picture of being successful yet you have many of them who are extremely wretched and living in squalor. They are everywhere on the internet self servicing about some phantom success. Them no go allow people hear word. Empty bragging from Twitter to Instagram to facebook to nairaland. They will start trouble and when you fire them ,they start crying about hate.[/s]

Astark:
you think benins gives a Bleep about igbos and their Biafra?

When igbos wanted to leave nigeria the first time what did the benins say? We said don't add us to your plan and leave our region alone but instead you attack us.

Nothing concern us concern Biafra, it's the fulani you should be fighting

RuudVanNisteroy:
Doesn't change the fact he got the contract to fix Warri and Port Harcourt refineries for hundreds of million of dollars of state money that never worked.

isthatso:
is this not the same man that ruined our refineries till date? if they didnt loot our common wealth and paid the right taxes on their claimed wealth, we wont need their "self interest philanthropy" to fund basic functions of govt and turn round to hail them as heroes.

Finally returning some of that nnpc turnaround loot to society

Gerrard59:
That is not entirely true. In which sectors is she leading? In AI, China is competing with the Yanks in relevant paper publications in high repute journals. In gene editing, China is there. In electric vehicles, how many Japanese firms are conducting research into it? The one she is facing - hydrogen powered vehicles - is not selling even with massive subsidies by the government. Japan has huge potentials for geothermal energy but it is China that is powering research into it same with solar and wind. She pioneered regenerative medicine but the commercialisation is done by the Americans not Japanese. You mistaking the development of city with innovative nature of its entire populace. So using that, are the Emiratis innovative? Malays? Even the 5G everyone is talking about, South Koreans and Chinese are at the forefront not the Japanese. South Koreans started using 5G before the Japanese and are currently undergoing research into 6G ditto with the Chinese. Where is Japan in all these? It is a technologically advanced country but compared to her contemporaries, she is not innovating well enough. Yet again, the proportion of Japanese firms on the Fortune 500 global list and Forbes 2000 list of public companies have reduced substantially. Indian and Chinese firms are taking over.

Thanks for mentioning the maglev train technology which alongside robotics and regenerative medicine are where she has innovated.

https://asia.nikkei.com/Opinion/How-to-revive-Japanese-innovation The number one business and economy focused newspaper. Heck, even the number of patents are reducing.

Neoteny7:
Man you're obtuse

The article mainly talks about how Apple designs the phone and oversees component sourcing, while China's Foxconn builds the devices. This is ths same Foxconn that setup an iPad factory in 90 days.

And did you notice the disclaimer at the bottom of the article?

This column does not necessarily reflect the opinion of the editorial board or Bloomberg LP and its owners.

It also says the author is a technology writer who pens for the opinion column of Bloomberg.


China's national debt is 5.2 trillion dollars.

The US national debt is 25 trillion dollars. Go figure.

I'm not impressed by your infantile threats, boy, because so far you've been doing nothing but sullying your reputation with misinformed and ignorant nonsense.

I'm waiting for you to make good your childish threat.

no friend of USA really progresses.
Even if you are Israel,you will still need help.
Even if you are south Korea,you will need defence path with USA and you pay the USA for security against your regional brothers.
I don't know why people are not seeing through the Americans

The major thing that brings industrialization is electricity. Ordinary power we do not have. Which serious corporation would take us serious?

There's is no case of Convid19 in Anambra State.. Obiano wants to get some relief funds and enjoy himself...

If you doubt it, call someone at the health center where the patient is supposedly being held and you'll get to know that no such patient exists...

I Live in Anambra and I know What's up..

Wolgrace:
[s]Traits of chestbeating in your post is so visible..

Embezzlement apart, just because you are Anambra Igbo man means you are all immune to the virus? Well, it's good to claim the promise and birthright of sound health through faith from God, not faith on igbo-ness.


As it is, igbo ends with mortality and vanity.[/s]
