My brother we can only fool ourselves so far. Care is not taken they'll buy up the whole of Lagos

DaddyCoool:


It's like asking a Naija buying up houses in, say, Accra, what's stopping him from developing Nigeria!

player,

I am going to ask you a question and I want you to honestly answer this question
Can you ever think back to a time you met an Igbo person, not online and they said to you, "we developed Lagos" I mean one on one, Have you ever heard that? the internet is an echo chamber that fuels chaos.
Lagos, Ogun, Osun, Ondo, is yoruba land. the reason why everyone flocks there is that for many years, that was the capital of Nigeria and the federal funds built it and created an environment for business. If the Nigeria capital is moved to Abia State and the same level of funds was pumped into Abia state, it will create the same environment that will bring development.

Let us not come on the internet and fight like we are not all suffering in Nigeria. I have never seen a situation where a Yoruba man want to buy from an Igbo man and they both refused to transact business because of their tribes.
let us slow down with all these harsh words and accusations. while we fight amongst ourselves, the loot us dry

Biodun556:
Larger % of the food consume in Lagos are from the north

Most manufacturing companies in Lagos are owned by foreigners

Most artisans in Lagos are Yorubas

Dangote refinery alone is bigger than all Igbo investment in south west

Igbos only dominate buying and selling of okrika, electronics, spare parts and what else?

Two Igbo military administrations have governed Lagos and nothing happened then suddenly Tinubu lost Lagos and all hell let loose.

Inter-state comparism and international are not the same, but even at that your clever submission still begs the question.

Why will you leave your father land and go to develop other peoples land ... have you considered what happened to Abramovich of chelsea, govt can easily furstrate you out
do you remember xenophobia and what happened to Nigerians in south africa, now igbos are agitating for Biafra and at the same tine investing madly in a state they want to secede from ..just imagine igbos get Biafra today what do you think will happen to all there invest in other regions, will they secede and still be living in Nigeria

China is all over the world, but they contribute their gains largely towards the development of china.

So you are comparing Ghana to Nigeria as if you are comparing anambra to kano..


Wake up..south east is a deserted region

princemillla:




I understand your point but u can't overrule their contributions to lagos growth thru petty tax and import duties. Most of the items they brought in from foreign lands pass thru ports and others. Decentralised all port in lagos, you will see drop in lagos state igr. Then u will believe that they also have their part.

MikeofAfrica:


The biggest sources of revenue for the Nigeria Government are the Oil in the Niger Delta and the Seaports.

The Seaports contribute billions annually through Custom Duty. The biggest three Seaports are presently in Lagos. About 60% of the importation and exportation business at the Seaports are done by the igbos.

What the Lagos State Government and Federal Government gets from the businesses of the igbos at the Seaport in a month is bigger than what they get from the work of Yoruba artisans in ten years.

That is a fact. The igbos also control 80% of the big markets in Lagos. These markets generates enormous revenues for the Lagos State Government.

DaddyCoool:


Well, people go where they're destined to thrive. There are Nigerians flexing in various countries all over the world who'd have died of hunger if they stayed in Nigeria! Ibos tend to japa from their ancestral land more than any other people. As for Biafra, I don't think japarian Ibos want Biafra at all. They know Naija is too intertwined to be separated - it's too late!

In as much as you are trying to defend the SW, we must talk and discuss based on facts.

That being said, I must confess that based on fact indeed the above-mentioned are parts of what contributes to the major chunk of the Lagos economy.

Below, the table tells that the Civil servant and or government workers are the major contributor to the state's economy followed by the above-mentioned or the manufacturing industry to mention but few.

Those workers are the ones behind the Paye you see below you.

Igbos should stop saying they want to rule Lagos. Don't steal what does not belong to you.

If Nigeria was practicing true democracy,you won't say this. Every Nigeria can vie for elective post anywhere you were born or have lived for over 18 years. Now most Igbos in SW were born and bred there and have never visited/Lived in the SE all their lives. How can you stop such from holding elective positions in the place of their birth?

Continue fooling urself ...you better wake up ..


.your region is crawling

D1official:

Go to google and make research on the Aeriel view of any south eastern state of your choice and kindly do same for your states excluding Lagos and you will be thrilled.

Even the purported deserted 5 eastern states still have more registered voters than yours.

GO AND SLEEP BOY!!

I'm only saying we should be discussing ways to checkmate it instead of deceiving ourselves that Fulani are the ones buying up everything

Wow...i thought i have seen it all but this statement just surprised me. You want to check mate development because of tribalism? Have the igbos ever forcefully taken any of your lands?
You all are weak cowards who cry foul because you can't stay competitive without hand downs.

Thanksful:


That is why we clamored for peter Obi because easy money has a way to robbing nation of their value. Nigeria is at its lowest in value scale.

Everything is about money. No one cares how you got it.

The same time that Akuyilu made name in reducing drug in Nigeria?

Which section of the country use drugs more in Nigeria?

Lavida486:
You don't need to checkmate anything just tell your Government to open a seaport in south south or in south east then give Igbos less than 6 months they will all disappear from Lagos
