Neckpresser101: And maybe 15 to 30 percent of SE population is non Igbo. No zone is more mixed than the other because populations of ethnic groups are specialized in different occupations needed in all the zones. |

Tompson88: Lagos is part of Oduduwa Republic. Oil money from the old Eastern region was used to build most of Lagos infrastructures. If 1/100th of the marginalisation of Igbo land by Nigeria's government since 1970 was metted against the Yoruba land, Oduduwa Republic would have been in existence long before now. Don't mind the legislator Kalu foaming in his mouth seeking for recognition through Yoruba and Igbo names dropping. |

Neckpresser101: I have travelled and all I know is that the SE is as mixed as other zones despite that it has no highbrow city like other zones. If Igbos sell spare parts in Ilesa, you find Ilesa people as small scale transporters in Onitsha and as artisans. No group is making more money than the other, you stay afloat and prosper according to luck, planning and foresight. A transporter with a couple of taxis can make money, so also a spare parts dealer. Any of the two markets can get saturated but you have to face the one you know. PH as a city has more SW people than SE Igbos. Igbo, Yoruba, Hausa etc are all over the country hustling, why then do people think any group may be at a disadvantage if the country breaks up or that Igbos are more dispersed?. Igbos don't travel more than Yoruba whether in Europe, North America or within Nigeria but they do more trading on the overall but what about Yoruba big businesses like Glo etc? ECOWAS is visa free for citizens of member nations and breakup which is the best way forward for the country is more for security reasons than any other. It is after security that we now can talk of prosperity. If the country is not broken up, then they should give state on demand and approve state police then set up a unicameral legislature in which the money you pay up determines your number of seats 2 Likes 1 Share |

discusant: I think the major thing built in Lagos with oil money is the Thirdmainland bridge but Abidjan is now the best city in West Africa. How then has Nigeria helped Lagos?. Today Lagos is the only state that can fund its budget without fg allocations and other states could have done it too and it is not too late. Enugu should have been developed to be at par with Kaduna and Ibadan since all were regional capitals but it was PH that took the spot in the East 2 Likes 1 Share |

Neckpresser101: I am interested in this and thank you for the information. Why with a higher GDP, are people from those states found all over Yorubaland, and I don't mean major towns and cities? By the way, I am very happy for Igbo's to be all over Yorubaland so my question is not from a position of bigotry. Why are there very few Yorùbá's found in these SE states with higher GDP's? Yorùbá's will travel, not as much as Igbos admittedly, to seek a better life for their families. Hence they are quite a few in Abidjan for example. They used to be in Accra and even Kumasi too. I genuinely am interested in an answer as to why Yorùbá's, and other tribes for that matter, don't flock to the higher GDP states in Igboland. 2 Likes |

lawani: I have to disagree that "all zones are mixed". There are probably more Igbo's in Ibadan than there are Yorùbá's all over the South Eastern zone in its entirety. Even with the population proviso you stated, seems clear to me that the percentage of Igbó's in SW is more than Yorùbá's in S of the overall total for each region. Anyway, nutin spoil. Aside from Obidients, we all want the same thing and are happy to live and let live. 3 Likes |

aswani:I'll start by saying there are hundreds of thousands of Yorubas in Anambra alone the Yoruba community here is huge nobody makes noise about it even they have obas Yorubas in Awka most of the EEDC and tech guys here are Yorubas majority of the guys in orient refinery ,seplat and other huge firms here are yorubas most of them do have assets here too no body disturb them Infact there have never been a time Igbos attacked Yorubas even me sef all the pastors brought in my church branche have been Yorubas we so much honour them here like no one discriminate them As for we Igbos; Igbos are cosmopolitans anywhere we find ourselves we don't discriminate that no here is isn't igbo land so we won't invest to make money from there . And it's deeply rooted in our culture one of the most powerful Igbo gods is Ala ,ana , Ani, Ali depending on the dialect of Igbo one speaks which is " land " we believe if we bless the land we come by investing in it, we'll progress there. The place dragging Igbos westward isn't Ogun, Osun or Oyo but Lagos which is the economic hub of not just Nigeria but Africa due to its history as center of national cohesion and economic center. Every other neighbouring states like Ogun are just getting the dividend of being closer to Lagos just like Asaba is enjoying from Onitsha The style we Igbos have use that has worked for us is the triangular style . One business at North (Kano) One business at West (Lagos) One in the east ( Onitsha or Aba) So yes Igbos do set up their businesses in Lagos majorly to tap into it economic strength and population for trade. There's absolutely nothing wrong in taking advantage of economic capability of a State it doesn't necessarily mean you're poorer it mean you're smart so gbon ? I have said it countless times if west think they're as economically viable as they they think why isn't there other states doing well there apart from Lagos ? which is obviously a collective input of all Nigerians 1 Share
