Stop saying things you know nothing about. The Hausas aren't the ones that called the Yorubas Yoruba. Provide a link to your bogus claim.

As for Yorubas not having any town named Yoruba or with Yoruba prefix like the igbos have it in igbo ukwu, that is just a funny notion of yours. Do you expect the Yorubas to name their towns according to how the igbos do? We have our own ways which we follow. The names like surulere, ajegunle, ijesha, ikoyi etc are all towns in Lagos named after Yoruba towns in other parts of southwest.

Can you mention one Hausa town that has Hausa as a name or prefix?

Ogun that couldn't suspend u guys, causing the free fall of ur tribe from limbo.

They must have landed on earth with their head (research topic) reason for the cone-like and low brain power syndrome.

CandyDiamond:
Your brother have already pass a sober reflection message to Tunubu, if like continue to live in self denial, everybody in Nigeria know that after foreign investment in Lagos, the next is Igbo businesses and they control more than 60% of lagos economy. Anambra and Abia is doing well

Guy stop this your ignorant, small scale businesses is the driver of economy of any country, Igbo people small scale businesses is the driver of Nigerian economy, that is why Nigeria cannot allow Igbos to have their own country, German economic is driven mainly by their small scale businesses, in Nigeria you call them gala, spare parts or whatever, Google German small businesses. There is difference between IGR, GDP and economy driver, it is economy driver that yield IGR, that is why Igbos contribute 60% of Igr in lagos with their so called gala and spare parts bussiness.

InyinyaAgbaOku:
ODVanguard, forget it. Bayo is telling you those industries in ogun and lagos belong to igbos and foreigners.
Minus igbo taxes, lagos igr depreciates by 60%.
Xmas periods tell the story

InyinyaAgbaOku:
If i begin to list igbo big businesses, nairaland will crash.
Igbo transport companies are not just nationwide (who said its just SW-east), some even go to Ghana.
Stop comparing those rickety buses that go from akure to ogbomosho to interstate luxury buses. Leave the transport sector for igbos, na dem get the big names. Even Edos are better than you.

That igbos dominate commerce doesn't mean any group comes close in terms of indigenous industries, don't go there.
There are far more successful and popular igbos in nollywood than you can ever get in your place.
Academics, banking, manufacturing, Transport, medicine, have more igbo presence , at least, Bayo is more informed than you

The Manufacturers Association of Nigeria (MAN) in its latest economic review (2015) said the production value recorded by the Ogun Industrial Zone accounted for 69 percent of total production for all zones, thus re-confirming Ogun as the industrial hub of the nation.

According to findings, investors get rebates on land, good road network and better security of plants, machinery and assets in industrial zones in Ogun State. Certain types of taxes paid by these investors in Lagos are also accepted by Ogun State, thus preventing them from paying multiple levies in two states.

Ogun also has a one-stop-shop platform, where investors are given access to understudy available natural and mineral deposits, as well as agricultural potential of the state. Many manufacturers also say there is less harassment from touts in Ogun. Also, there is less traffic gridlock in Ogun and cheaper and more available accommodation for staff in the state.

In the last two to three years, more investments have moved to Agbara, Igbesa, Abeokuta, Sango-Otta, Ibafo, Mowe, Ijebu-Ode and Sagamu industrial clusters, all in Ogun State, at the expense of Ikeja and Apapa zones in Lagos which used to be the hubs of investors.

In terms of output, Ogun turned out N265.27 billion in output in half year 2015 as against Lagos’ N88.6 billion. Similarly, Ogun produced goods worth N306.58 billion in the whole of 2014, while Lagos churned out output worth N274.41 billion within the period.

Some of the new investors which berthed Ogun in 2014 were Shongai Technologies Limited, Ijako in Sango-Otta, Apples and Pears Limited, Ceplas Farms Limited, Greenlife Bliss Healthcare Limited, Sumo Steel Limited, among others.

....

olaitoro:
All this gibberish because of the truth.
My brother the truth hurts, I can feel your pain.

Go and read about Japan economy and cure your ignorance.

Japanese and german economy are as homogeneous as Southeast own.

https://www.gtai.de/GTAI/Navigation/EN/Invest/...germany/FDI/fdi-data.html

"Germany ranks seventh in the world as a recipient of foreign direct investment (FDI), according to the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development ..."

olaitoro:
The problem is not national egbon, in fact Southeast economy is approximately 80% homogeneous.
Proudly owned and manned by the Igbos.

The truth is bitter.

Igbos rock jor.

olaitoro:
The future of Yoruba land lies in the hand of Igbos and in one Nigeria.

You can take that to the Lagoon

Realman87:
I should list industries to prove what? I take no pride in trying to convince you. Continue in your delusion. When I was doing my nysc, 70% of yoruba graduates couldn't speak correct English. That is how low the yorubas have sunk. Now if you own an industry, will you employ such a graduate? Or will Federal agencies and multinationals employ them. Yoruba ronu.

Realman87:
The letter contains the TRUTH. Even the competetion that produces a 1day governor of Lagos has never been won by a yoruba student. The chinese and lebanese control less than 10% of lagos economy. I know personally that the igbos have over 60% of Lagos economy ranging from low to medium trade in clothes, electronics, autos and spares, entertainment, importation, clearing and forwarding, banking and finance, transportation (not danfo drivers), shipping and logistics, distributors of FMCG, restaurants and catering (not mama put), ... The yorubas hold top positions in industries but there are only FEW of such industries. The earlier yorubas wake up to the truth and put their house in order, the better for them. Outgoing yorubas know that the letter contains the TRUTH.

Twistaray:
I know you are mentally sane unlike the other fellow

I will be waiting for you.

Mind you, I asked for stats/facts not news.

Happy sunday

Waiting..

OmoAjowa7:
I tire oooo. I told one of dem pure-wattah sprinters to open a thread and mention the so-called Gigbo businesses in Lagos.The Olosh ran away.
I've told them as long as people like us are online, we go continue to dey use pankere on them. They should keep that garbage
in their Biafra facebook pages or continue selling it to the ignorant Yorubas not people like us. They keep "tetra-paking"
those 2x2 stores as businesses and as the engine of the economy

They're the only ones who believe their lies and some dumb yorubas who chat dust because they just pressed one
random Chinasa’s bobi

oduastates:
I understand where he is coming from
These are the people who have been left behind.
They are the ones tussling with migrants from other parts for low - paying jobs( buying and selling ) ,and to whom no one is paying attention. He does not have the skillset and mindset to tackle the ever changing nature of SW economy .
His mentality is based on his surroundings and he cannot see what is happening around him
The worst thing is that he is spreading that mindset the same way the likes of Odumakin and Femi do as well.

ASL33:
You better give us the best stats otherwise people will hold on to the one the see/read.

B4 now people hold on to anything the see on CNN not until other news media came on board to give a different version hence people with brain will analyse and know which of the news made sense.

Give the correct stats pls.

In his paper, Bello categorized Nigeria’s economy, post Obasanjo’s reform, into four, namely, South West, South East plus Delta, North and South-South minus Delta. The South-West with an area of 76,852 square kilometer and a population of 25.2 million, he said, owned or controlled 60% of the nation’s industrial capacity, 40% of its banking assets and 67% of its insurance assets. The region also housed the nation’s deep sea port of Apapa, Tin Can Island and Roro, the busiest international airport in Ikeja, and three thermal stations at Egbin, Papalanto and Omotosho.

The South-East plus Delta (what Bello called “their (Igbo’s) cousins across the Onitsha bridge”) controlled 20% of the country’s industrial assets, 50% of its banking assets and 21% of its insurance assets.
