lol
Can you post anywhere in the East Igboland that can match the development of Ibadan?
Even the entire East is deficient in infrastructures compared to Ibadan.
It has been proven time without number on nairaland that Ibadan is more developed than the entire Igboland.

That is wealth not just making unsubstantiated ,cannot been proven mouth.
I cannot compare Ibadan to a place that I do not know. I can compare to similar sized African cities and say without reservation that it is sorely lacking in basic amenities.

How can you say their money is concentrated in their hands instead of being spread when they actually hustled to make their money? Dem no steal like politicians or armed robber o! Try to reason well before you type na! Shay the money you have hustled for is scattered in the hands of other people ni? Its your money not their money.
You do not make billions without underpaying others, cheating the tax man, using the legal system to attack competitors and/or abuse goverment subsidies. Elon Musk is a perfect example.

Why is it that whenever someone criticizes Lagos the immediate response is to insult Igbos?

I am not Igbo.

I compared Lagos to other African cities in often poorer countries and your response was to talk about Igboland? Why do Igbos live in your head rent free?

Which one is concentrated in few hands?
Yorubas have the highest number of SMEs in Nigeria.
They dominate the building materials markets in Nigeria.
They control real estate in Nigeria
They control petrol station outlets in Nigeria
They dominate ICT even with highest number of unicorn entities in Africa.
They control the entertainment industry in Africa
They have the highest number of lawyers and the richest
They have the highest number of doctors and the richest.
They have the highest number of highest grossing movies every year.
They are the only people who have dollar billionaires both in Nigeria and abroad.
They have the highest number of naira billionaires in Nigeria.
They have the highest number of rich, famous and internationally recognised musicians in Africa.
They have the highest number of black billionaires in USA especially Texas,Houston.
The list is endless.
They are the only Africans who do OIwanbe parties every week worth millions of naira and million of dollars.
Any other tribe that tries this will become extinct.
So which ethnic group has wealth concentrated in a few people?
Igbos,Hausa/Fulani or who?
And yet go to Lagos and Ibadan and tell we what you see.

Why is Lagos one of the world's most disorganized mega cities? Why is Ibadan one of the filthiest cities in Africa?

What have they done with this immense wealth?

What do you mean too concentrated, I don't understand.

So for wealth to be not too concentrated, you must not have a billionaire from the ethnic?
It's better for a society to have 1000 millionaires than one billionaire ond thousands in penury.

Wow
Nigerians are the problem of Nigerians.

It won't cost traders nothing to be clean and kept, but lawlessness thrives here.

Look how comported and organised this market is ntori olunn

Meanwhile note

it is only a Nigerian girl you will see preparing for marriage and she only has #5k or less in her account

With a mind blowing milage
It does cost. For a place to be kept clean you need equipment (that won't be stolen) and for people to constantly keep the environment clean.

You also need reliable refuse collection. Adequate repositories for the refuse to be held and a means of storing or reusing said refuse.

All of those things require investment.

Also broke people get married the world over. It's hardly a Nigerian specific issue.

The north has stayed in power longer than any other region

So Oga Sanusi, tell your northern leaders to look in the mirror
He needs to look in the mirror himself. He talks as if he is not part of the core group that has retarded development in the North.

He knows how to give a nice speech, besides that he does nothing.

Emeskhalifa:
These guys (most of them in the entertainment and sports) are touching real money, I mean a lot of it but are not planning well they usually have this mentality of the money will keep coming without investing part of it in anything, and when shit hits them and that money is no longer coming, they start regretting.

Right now, person wey I dey pity pass is Wizkid, I just hope he is investing his money well sha coz, to come from poor home, come touch money then go back to poverty again, isn't what I'd even wish even an enemy.
They make a lot of money but the people around them use their age/youth against them to exploit.

Those same people who fleeced them in their youth will turn around and chastise them when they are penniless.

That's what Evans the Igbo kidnapper thought.

That's what your Eze Ndigbo thought.

By the time Lagos is through with you miscreants, you will realise why a shameless former Anambra Governor was bragging on TV that he's a Lagos boy.
Which miscreants?

I am not Igbo and I would never live in the overgrown slum known as Lagos.

TInubu is president today because the Lagos judiciary has been in his pocket for 25 years. They have shown themselves to be crooked and spineless bending to his will at every turn.

Had they done their job at any point over the past quarter century for any of the acts of criminality that has his fingerprints on them maybe the country would not be suffering through its worst ever president.

How is she fooling herself? You think a foolish person can become Tory leader?
Nigeria is not a country civilized people want to be associated with. Deal with it.
They lost an election.

They have had a series of bad/failed leaders. It is very possible to be a foolish person and the head of a political party.

Donald Trump has just been elected the president of the USA. In years past George W. Bush held the same position. Neither is an intelligent man.

I have deliberately restrained myself from commenting on this lady’s unguarded statements but at this point I am beginning to wonder if she is in alignment or seeking for validation from ipob because she sounds really stupid and un British.

I will be very surprised if the conservatives don’t throw her out of office before any major or general election.

These silly talks will not make her the prime minister of Great Britain.
What makes her sound un-British? There are many stupid people in that country, she would only be one of millions.

The average salary in Norway is actually higher than UK, 668,400 Norwegian Krone (47,217.49 Pound sterling) higher than UK which is 35,828 Pound sterling, but there are better jobs & work life balance in UK than Norway. Norway does not have a general minimum wage.

On Reddit people are even complaining of how hard it is to get jobs in Norway: https://www.reddit.com/r/Norway/comments/1bsa0f9/why_is_getting_even_entry_level_tech_jobs_so_hard/
It's harder for foreigners in Norway but a better work life balance in the UK than Norway? That is a lie.

Their own protest is legit, which protest can survive in Nigeria
The outcome is the same, their protests also lead to nothing. People in the industrialized world protested in 2008 and things have gotten worse since then - inequality is greater, the cost of living higher.

Again you are getting it wrong, 3yrs in the UK is more than enough to build credit worthiness.
Even if I pretend that you are right none of that changus what I said about him having debt and not assets. Especially at a time when interest rates are higher now than a decade ago.

All you said here makes no sense. Fixed mortgage deal got nothing to do with your length of stay in the UK, it’s entirely up to you to go for fixed or variable. Getting a good interest rate has to do with the amount of deposit you dropped.


The deposit can also influence your mortgage duration, so it’s not always 20 or 30 yrs , with a larger deposit one can get 15yrs or less.
It also depends on credit history, which you have ignored. Someone who has only been in the UK three years barely has any. With minimal credit history you have less bargaining power.

How do you know that?
Those are the terms of most mortgages.

And I hope he got a fixed interest rate although I doubt it considering he has very little credit history in the UK. Same for the car. I can only imagine that he has the worst interest rate imaginable.
