Why Are Igbos So Interested In Lagos Than Their Homestate? by Munamoqel: 5:03pm On Mar 06, 2023
Can any one make me understand ? They sleep , salivate over Lagos which has been on steady progress since 99 while their home states are in tartars . Is that they wish Lagos to become like Abia govern by the likes of ipakzu or orji . They are encouraging MUMU Yoruba youths to hand over the 4 th largest economy to a rookie

Tell us why you are always salivating and mastubating over Igbo matter. You no get another job apart from Igbo. Continue wasting your time on Igbo matter, no go find work. Igbos are busy hustling all over the world, but you are here showing your jobless status. Later, when they make money and buy your ancestral land, you will become more bitter and envious and redouble your idle questions.

It didn't start today.
And not just Lagos but the whole of western region.

It started way back since the colonial era. Because Lagos was the administrative capital of Nigeria, they have long sought to make Lagos a no mans land claiming its a federal territory. Awolowo and co knowing the implication of this vehemently opposed making Lagos FCT in the independence constitution... insisting Lagos is Yorubaland and even offered to build a new capital for Nigeria wherever was chosen....Azikwe and his ibo folks rejected this move and the move by Awo and Ahmadu bello to include secession clause in the new nations constitution. That was when Jaja nwachukwu proclaimed Lagos no mans land.

Then the elections of 1951, Zik after installing Opara as premier in eastern house of assembly attempted to become leader of wester house of assembly (what an affront).
He was almost sucessful if not for Awo reaching the conscience of the NCNC and ibadan peoples party lawmakers and making them realise the danger of making an iboman the premier of yorubaland (afterall a yorubaman is not leading the east) and that was how they all defected to Awos party .
This is the origin of igbos calling yorubas tribalists and betrayals
This was also the begining of suspicion of igbos among yorubas.
Recall that the first VC of both UI and Unilag are igbos even when there are qualified yorubas.
The final straw that broke the trust between igbos and yorubas was the 1966 coup.

So those woke yorubas will soon wake up. This is political matters you dont form woke with it...its not entertainment its serious issue that bother on our existence. Yorubaland needs protetection against these folks. Its not hatred, igbos are doing exactly this....thats why you hear stories of igbos not selling land to outsiders apart from them having little land igbos will never allow other tribes own landed properties in their land like they are presetly doing in other peoples lands.

Yoruba ronu.....see how they taunt us with ilorin....soon its Lagos they will taunt us with

He lived his life to the fullest robbing you and your generation. You're here spending your active days defending the structure and loot of an old man.

You should be ashamed of yourself and those who raised you. This was the same way APC used ediotic and tribal nonentities like you with gloomy future and zero life aspiration to work against Jimi Agbaje (a true son of the soil).

They told you Agbaje is IPOB and you believed them. They told you Ambode, an Ondo state man, was the best for you, you believed them. They came back again to tell you that Ambode was corrupt. You believed them and voted him out. Can you see how ediotic you have become? Can you see how APC has damaged your senses?

Kano has a Large Igbo and ipob crew but they can't dare dream of the rubbish Yoruba people are accepting in Lagos .you loose your ethic representation in a very tribalist Nation like Nigeria in the name of following obidents .but the obidebts don't happen in the east ode No Yoruba can even buy councillor form. Now you have ipob as your representative in Abuja .you ode think if they are sharing CBN job slots in National assembly .the IPOB man representating Lagos will give Lagos share to fellow Igbo people .

Yoruba youths don't Make the historic Mistake of handing over 1trilliin USD Lagos economy to rookie called chenedu . Don't be in opposition to a federal govt .don't loose your port ,airport and. vat collection .no state in the east has a rail line like Lagos metro . Eko Atlantic , lekki deep sea port . This bring hate and envy . A warning Sha .I have benefitted from Lagos with many of my friends .the owner of salbas oil and gas Lagos came from the north inside night bus to resume in AA rano now owns a Depot and several stations .no state in Nigeria bring this opportunity

Point of correction the progress has been since 1950 when Lagos was made the capital of Nigeria and all major businesses and head offices where located there .

It might interest you to know that Abuja is also developing fast because it's now the federal Capital on naija

I repeat lgbos are too many in lagos that is reason for all this see finish. If all lgbos make an effort to quite lagos over time all these noise of city of excellence, 5th largest economy will end.

Igbos presence in lagos is why it has over 7000 bank branches, something no state has. Some state hve only 50 branches.

Igbos should leave lagos lets see why if thousands of banks, insurance, hospitals, private schools, sme, hotels, beer parlours, event centres, motor parks, petrol stations, pos agents, shopping plaza will survive.

Igbos should know ur presence creates billions in licensing fee, mot, land use, income tax, annual dues, company tax, vat, for lagos. Chk out the entire nation none has it not even kano that is said to be more populous than lagos.

U think lagos has thousands of artisans, mechanics, builders, labourers because of presence of yorubas only. If it were so why are other yoruba states not like lagos.

Igbos use ur brain and leave lagos for yorubas.

I don't know your definition of progress Sha ? By last count no Igbo Man is as rich as adenuga or otedola .they most successful chartered accountant and firm are been run by Yoruba .most top law firms too .most top Universiy like covenants . Swallowing drugs and going to sell in Asia to build house for amodofin is not progress by normal human definition ( only Igbo see it different ). Doing mass prostitution's and running brothels and selling fake spare part to make money to build rental home are not hustle Yoruba people would engage in .
