They wanted to display their mob attitude because he is not supporting their fake messiah.

If anything had happened to him in that market they should all kiss that place goodbye.

I triple dare you to give a more correct sentence.

Your age is grossly irrelevant to my verdict. You have accused me and your mother and father will shed those tears on this earth or underneath if you are wrong.

These are my final words to you.

So what is wealth to you?. The wealthiest state is Lagos followed by Rivers followed by Oyo. If you don't have it you can't pay VAT, you can't flaunt it. The most expensive neighborhoods in Nigeria exist in Lagos, Ibadan, PH and Abuja. Mansions spring up in Ibadan everyday thousands of them but you go to photograph a century old part to push a certain narrative? In my immediate surrounding within a small town in Ilesa metropolis mansions are constructed constantly and they are all modern, so you are not right to be saying only Lagos is developed in Yoruba land. No place in the East apart from Anambra has anything up to Osun state despite that NIN stats say some have a bit more population. Use google

The self acclaimed iragbiji man is actually a pulani from gaaaambiaa that's why he allows the zerrorists to over run the country..

he has no siblings anyone knows about

he has no parents anyone knew about

he has no cousins anyone knows about

he has no pictures of him in primary school and secondary school

he has no pictures of him when he was a teenager

the above can only be possible if the person is an immigrant.

England did not build primary schools, secondary schools, universities, health centers, hospitals, stadiums, technical institutes, vocation centers, maternity hospitals, pediatric hospitals, sports centers, housing estates, roads e.t.c. all over Nigeria between 1830 and 1960 and after..

England did not build anything in Nigeria.

Lagos is the economic center of Yoruba people so every Yoruba is welcome to Lagos.

codemaniacs:
Igbos didn't develop any part of Lagos.. Lagos has a development and infrastructure masterplan it follows created by Yoruba leaders who use the revenue Lagos earns to build it's infrastructure..

There are oil producing states in Nigeria who don't spend the revenue they earn on infrastructure and are less developed than Lagos..

will you blame the Yorubas for the under-development and bad infrastructure of oil producing states and other states in Nigeria

That means Lagos can make so much money and still have bad infrastructure if the Yoruba leaders in Lagos steal Lagos blindly..

Is it Igbos that are signing road construction contracts in Lagos?

Is it Igbos that are signing rail construction contracts in Lagos?

Is it Igbos that are drafting the development plan of LGAs in Lagos?

Is it Igbos that foreign investors will set up meetings with in Lagos?

Stop saying nonsense..

codemaniacs:
the indigenes of Rivers state are 98% igbos..

Igbos billionaires and igbo state governments can also partner, negotiate and build ports in Akwa-ibom or Cross River or Bayelsa or Delta state then use railways to link to those new ports.

the SE has crude oil, one of the largest gas deposits in Africa, one of the largest coal deposits in Africa

while Yoruba people don't have the level of crude oil the SE have, the SW does not have gas deposits, does not have coal deposits.

when it comes to natural resources wealth the SE is extremely richer and wealthier than the SW and the rest of Nigeria and they should not be allowed to participate in politics outside the SE.

SW is significantly poorer than the SE...

so it is fuulish of SE people to be envying Lagos state and SW people.

lawani:
Yoruba and Igbo are not contemporaries by population and that means by any other thing. Lagos not to talk of Ibadan makes it very obvious and all this going back and forth is to not accept the fact. The Yoruba are almost three times the population of the Igbo and if you accept that many things will be easier for you to accept. How many Igbos even are in Lagos? If you give Yoruba 70 percent it means Igbo is 7.5 percent, if Yoruba is eighty percent it means Igbo is five percent, if Yoruba is sixty percent it means Igbo is ten percent. If you now go to the extreme and say Yoruba is 40 percent, Igbo still will not be more than fifteen percent. This is because whatever is left after Yoruba is deducted must be divided into four around equal parts before one part can be assumed Igbo. The four parts are Hausa, Igbo, other Northerners and other Southerners. No survey has ever put the Yoruba at less than seventy percent of Lagos and it may be as high as eighty percent. The English control London, the Germans Berlin, the Americans New York, the Russians Moscow, so the Yoruba are sufficiently big to say they control Lagos. After all they win 99 percent of elective posts in the city. However as long as Nigeria remains one, any Nigerian city is owned by all Nigerians as they are free to live and contest elections there.

If you are waiting for Lagos to become a non Yoruba city, you will wait indefinitely

Such a president should not be afraid of spending more than a term in office.

ArcSEMPECJ:
That's exactly why I wonder why Lagos booming could not help even Ogun State to develop faster....Ibadan did not develop because of Lagos State, it is because of the University of Ibadan , one of the 3 prestigious Universities we have then and also the teaching hospital, is never because it is near Lagos State even though it is a 2hrs journey interval....

What does it tell us?.....it tells us that the booming spirit and energy drive is not coming from the indigenes of those living near Lagos State so the development is not reaching other near States talk more of Osun, Ekiti, even Ondo ,...

Assuming Yorubas are the pointers of the energy drive in Lagos State, every SW state is supposed to have benefited immensely from Lagos State...

akpumping7720:
It belongs to other tribes in Nigeria as if those other tribes don't have their own ancestral homes in Nigeria. They are correcting you and you are still repeating the same thing.

dheilaw1:
the real owners Don dey show you shege codedly. Una go soon collect fully.

Are you not from Oyo state again, do you also want to claim Lagos indigene again?

In that case, we need one who made no deals with any shady characters to become President.

codemaniacs:
eastern Nigeria have 4 seaports which is more than anywhere in Nigeria..

There's a seaport in Rivers state called "port harcourt".
There are also:
Calabar port
Onne port
Warri port..

so that access to the Atlantic ocean excuse is ignorance..

lagos has always been the economic capital of Yoruba people even before the demonic bri:tish people came to Nigeria.

England did not build primary schools, secondary schools, universities, health centers, hospitals, stadiums, technical institutes, vocation centers, maternity hospitals, pediatric hospitals, sports centers, housing estates, roads e.t.c. all over Nigeria between 1830 and 1960 and after..

they took the billions they made from Nigeria and other places they colonized and used it to build England they did not use it to build Nigeria and the other places they colonized. So foreigners and non-Yorubas did not add or bring anything to lagos.

lagos is the commercial center of the Yorubas not of Nigeria and it is as a result of Yorubas concentrating their wealth there.

It has nothing to do with colonial influence, government influence, Foreigners.

During the colonial government only a part of lagos island was the capital and only white people and Nigerian colonial government workers were allowed there.

The rest if lagos was filled with dirt roads, forests, and underdevelopment. No University in lagos, no teaching hospitals, no housing estates built by the British, no pipe borne water.

Yorubas are reaping the benefits of Yoruba wealth concentration.

Yorubas alone made lagos what it is today..

You see that nobody liked your comment, because you wrote jargons out of frustration .

So now,
Onne port
Calabar port
Warri port now belongs to the Igbos of south east. Remember what you said now, i know you people, tomorrow now you will change mouth . The day south east Nigeria the Igbos will claim Cross River State Calabar, River's State Port Harcourt and Delta State, Warri as part of their land that day i know what you guys will say oo.

Remember today, you are handing over this States to the south east people!

I still maintains my stand..... How i wished Lagos Nigeria was located in the south east of Nigeria, because of the Atlantic Ocean that is bordering with Lagos. By now the industrious Igbos of the south east would of turned Lagos Nigeria to UAE.

It's sad the South East people of Nigeria didn't had that opportunity of having a Sea Port close to the Atlantic Ocean as their own.

Kog45:
Yes you are right but Obi is afraid already with his one term agenda

ArcSEMPECJ:
Lagos State is a no man's land but unfortunately it is found in Yoruba soil....

It is a no man's land not because of the land area but in terms of Developmental strategies, all tribes in Nigeria joined hands to from Lagos State....

But by land property, it is unfortunate to be in Yoruba soil , Unfortunate because if that part of Nigeria where to be with South South or South East , Lagos State won't be this backwards ...

OriOko88:
Yes. Yoruba made Lagos wat it is today. It has been developed long before ur great grand fathers ever thought of migrating there. It has been a major trading centre between the Yorubas and Portuguese as far back as in 13th century. So you igbos have nothing on lagos. It made you!!

lawani:
Cities like Abidjan in this same west Africa is better developed than Lagos by infrastructure but it was not like that during the days of the western region. Nowhere in west Africa was as developed as Ibadan or Lagos back then.

Therefore if no Nigeria do you think Lagos population would have been lower or the infrastructure worse? Presently Abidjan is a more expensive city to live in than Lagos.

The selling point of Lagos is the high population and some status it gained like being the unicorn capital of Africa and etc. It was also ranked highest at a point for tech innovation or so. How did Nigeria achieve all that for Lagos? Nigeria or not the population would have been there. The population is in New York

brunobaba:
These are the kind of statements that your kins make and then there's wahala, you will soon say they hate your triibe,how do you call a man's land,no land or land for everybody Is that how you accommodate others in your own town?

jfking2005:
Next time ask which part of Lagos was the former capital of Nigeria and your daddy will educate you better.
You have encroached beyond the capital to the best of my knowledge

UncleAyo:
You have not answered my question. And I'm adding this one too.
2. Is Lagos Yorubaland or Iboland.

I will also include a map for your understanding
