He pays his taxes and other state-imposed levies plus the extortion from babaloja.
Thats the point. You keep shooting yourself. He pays his tax. Thats a singular entity. Haba na KJ student you be.

Dangote pay Tax on the following.

Staff basic and allowance tax (Do you know how much their staff is?)
Pay income tax
and many other uncountable tax. Thats what drives the economy.

Agbero also pay tax in Lagos. Get that into your skull

chino24: This is what yurubas contribute to Nigeria:



An award-winning Nigerian music director, Aswad Ayinde, found guilty of fathering children with his daughters, will spend the rest of his life in jail.

According to the Mail Online, Ayinde, 55, of Paterson, New Jersey, United States, was sentenced to 50 years in prison on Friday after being found guilty in the second of five expected trials, in which he is accused of repeatedly raping his six daughters, resulting in six children which he fathered.

Ayinde was found guilty in his latest trial of having intercourse with a daughter, when she was as young as eight years old. According to the Mail Online report, the second sentence adds to the 40 years sentence Ayinde received in a 2011 trial for sexually assaulting a separate daughter.
Your point is Igbos dont do crimes? No kiddnapping no robbery? Igbos are angel. They dont have any record of crime.

How much is your salary per annum. An above average trader makes more than million a day. How many people are well paid in those companies. I am a Nigerian remember?
How much is the trader contributing to the economy by paying salaries? Again slowpoke. Big companies contribute to the economy by paying salary, igbo investments is for xmas joli-joli in their village

All bluechips repatriate their returns, leaving nothing for Lagos
Big companies pay salaries, employs millions of Nigerians. Have visited Victoria Island before? See the way third Mainland bridge blocks every night due to white collar Job people going home?

See your small scale companies don't count. Sparepart shop cant employ hundred talkless of thousand.

Let me educate you. When we say economy. Think of Salary earners first. They are the gate way through which money flows into the market. Do I have to go low to your level?

omo-Yoruba:
There are 20 million Nigerians in lagos. I wager that less than 2 million of those are employed by large corporate organizations. Most lagosians are independent business people and Igbos lead here. That is why Igbos in Lagos are on the average more well to do than an average Yoruba who if not working in a corporate entity (which Igbos also do) remains an unemployed OPC or motor garage thug or looking for an Igbo-dominated market place to extort money from.
Where are igbo leading? Spare part selling? or kidnapping?

Please argue with fact and figures and not sentiments

If not for awolowo sef, u ppl will not even make it to the share holder thing. But u ppl are doomed for not making your own group of companies the way ppl like Ibeto, innoson, ABC did.

How can mere buying shares that can depreciate make u comparable to igbos?
Is it not cowardice, when a whole group of ppl will not want to take risks on their own? Leeches....
.
If u think Igbos dont contribute to lagos IGR, fine!
Ask Fashola to stop collecting igbo taxes and he will personally squeeze u alive; he wont evn assign your murder to his aides.
You are an illiterate.

1. I meantioned counless more. There thousands of big companies in Lagos.
2. Lagos spare part tax money all combined is not up to what Dangote pay as staff income salary.
3. Lagos spare part sellers are in Lagos so they have to pay tax.

We hate you because you are racist. You see others as non-human. You always want to claim other people's work. Jews of africa. Always claiming good things that belongs to others.

Stop naming banks. Yoruba has GTB, FCMB, Wema e.t.c. But we dont want banks. Name companies. Banks are not valid in this argument. GTB is still the largest bank in Nigeria. I want to make this argument easy for you, leave banks out of it.

F- foreign
Most bluechip companies in Lagos are foreign-owned with Nigerian public shareholdings, and Igbos represent well in the shareholding
Floor mills and MTN come to mind, where Igbos are MD and chairman respectively. Most of those you listed do not belong to Yoruba.

The are far more big companies than you listedd
You are so daft that you cannot go to their website and check who are the investors and keep telling us Igbo are many their. Let me help you. See we are all educated here. Lets argue like learned persons. Lets argue with Fact.
This is their corporate website. http://www.fmnplc.com/home/investors.php

MTN, bluechip are not Yorubas and not Igbo. So the point is Igbos dont own Lagos. If Igbos dont own blue chips, MTN etc. Then what is their relevance in Lagos ?
Dont tell me you have shares in HP because HP, Blackberryr did not sell shares to Nigerians. LOLLLLLL grin grin grin grin grin grin
