VEHINTOLAR:Na we cause am! But I believe things are changing gradually. One thing I like about the Hausa/Fulani is how they FIERCELY maintain their territorial integrity. Dem no born Ibo well make dem tell Hausa what to do in their land (and the Igbo knows this) I despise the docility of our people, but we don dey wakeup small small. |

Sentiment aside, if all he has said is true, then the LASG should set up another meeting with the market ADMINS, sensitize them on the state's plan, find another spot for them within the market location where the SECRETARIAT is rebuilt by the government and tender wholehearted apology publicly for whatever inconvenience the relocation may cost them. BUT we must also bear in mind that URBAN REGENERATION AND MASTERPLAN ADHERENCE ARE PROCESSES THAT MUST NOT BE COMPROMISED OR STOPPED. SO THE ULTRAMODERN MARKET AND THE TRANSPORT MEGA PARK MUST BE CONSTRUCTED! kettykin:The mentality of an average IGBO man reeks ignorance and illiteracy. Like the above, he pointed out a couple of factors why he thinks they are disadvantaged but fails to reason why they all happen, fails to check the SUCCESS status before amalgamation and ain't thinking of preparatory plans EVEN IF THEY CARE TO LEAVE. THAT'S why they clamour for AIRPORT until they built and realized their uselessness. Now, it's seaport. I hope OTTI build one as promised and I expect them to call on the AKWA IBOM governor to act on the approval his predecessor got to build a seaport too. Let's see where it leads you kettykin:I've gone through his comments (although not good enough) and also through your previous posts too and I think there's still naught in them to invalidate my last post. And please, don't see this as an attack but a platform to share knowledge. Now to the bone of contention, WHAT YOU'RE ON AT OVER REPLICATION OF LAGOS MARKETS IN THE EAST (as you insinuated) WOULD'VE BEEN BENEFICIAL TO THE PEOPLE AND ENTIRE REGION FOR GENERATION IF ONLY IT WAS THAT EASY. BUT WHY CAN'T IT BE THAT EASY? Perhaps, I'd rather expantiate. (1)YOU CAN HARDLY MOVE A MARKET UNLESS THE AUTHORITY DON'T WANT IT THERE. Market ain't just all about wares and shops but also many other factors. Infact, all these popular markets you mentioned have replica markets in Lagos itself let alone the entire country. What make them special is the VOLUME OF PATRONAGE. This is possible due to the purchasing power of the hosts, the neighbouring states, the neighbouring tribes and the neighbouring (West African)countries. If the Igbos move their wares but the locations they left still have the privilege of patronage, THEY BECOME THE LOSERS AS OTHER TRIBES would just take up the business and start profitting off the sweat of the IGBOS founders. The markets would only get new sellers but the PATRONAGE and VALUE continue. (2)POPULARITY: I guess you already have a faint idea where I'm headed with this. All the markets you named would be the first locations of choice for consumers because they're the popular ones they know. Unless the markets don't have what consumers wanted (which would then necessitate the need to try another), they (those markets) will still remain SUCCESSFUL after you left while the ones the IGBOs must've gone to establish likely exist like the present REPLICA they already have on ground (. Look around you already have replica markets like those you mentioned in the east but not similar volume of patronage. Other tribes have too). (3)PROXIMITY: The closeness to major consumers play key roles too. The markets you named are patronised by over 80% population of Lagos, Western Nigeria, and the rest rest 20% from others (Northerners, Easterners,SouthSoutherners, other WestAfricans) and many of them would first journey into Lagos which comes close than any other. (4)POPULATION AND MULTI-SECTORIAL SUCCESS. LAGOS is a very successful state cum city in Africa and the most populous too. IT'S A MAJOR FORCE TO RECKON WITH ON ENTERTAINMENT, TECH, COMMERCE, BANKING, EDUCATION, TRANSPORTATION, COMMUNICATION, CONSTRUCTION, FASHION, CREATIVITY and what have you. Infact, in some it's the leading face of Africa and so, if it continue to remain relevant, it will continue to command huge population and improving purchasing power. I guess you already know what that means for the market structure. (5) GOVERNMENT POLICIES : Lagos state government aims, policies and programmes are all geared towards creating avenues for enterprenuers to thrive in the state whatever your financial strenght while you arrived. Even the projects we're discussing about is to expand condusive commercial activities in the state. As long as the government maintain SUCCESS-ORIENTED policies, those markets would continue to exist and even get better. THIS AIN'T ALL BUT I GUESS THIS SHOULD BE AN INSIGHT |

Karemarealty288:Is it not time my people understand that they are not wanted again Is it not better to change strategy Look Eastward Take your operations to the East, or any other part of Nigeria or go into African countries The world is changing Change strategies also The earlier you guys understand this, the better for you There is so much xenophobia going on that side and if you really like yourself better change strategy There are boundless opportunities elsewhere be it at home in the East or any other location But vacate where you are not wanted I did this since 2019 and it was the best decision I made for myself The kind of opportunities I discovered since I made that move is mind blowing Take that challenge Make that move Leave your comfort zone It's not a good place to be You will be surprised what you will achieve What you have been missing |

JohnAOne:Lol are the Igbos having any problem with the Northerners? There are more igbos residing in the North than even Lagos The last time there were even scuffle in the North was the bonke crusade of the 1990s in Kano Which was a religious uprising There has never been any other major scuffle The other minor scuffle has been more between middle belt indegens and the fulanis which was prevalent in Plateau, Benue and Kaduna Plus the bokoharam issue that's still religious crisis The Igbo man have never had any problem with the Northerners except the 1966 issue before the war and the bonke crusade in the 1990s Igbos have lived peacefully with the Northerners The two parties under themselves |

newoffer:Actually he is right Having a replica in other parts will even enhance the value chain and distribution network That's one of Dangote's secret; Sound distribution and value chain network That's why he can afford to keep a higher price of his cement because his distribution network is many times superior to other cement manufacturers especially BUA Commerce is actually changing Having a replica will even empower the traders more. If you understand trading and commerce by taking example from what the Chinese are doing around the world through trade and commerce and introduce it here in Nigeria The traders will even be more served and not be under any witch hunting One of the Igbo man's competitive advantage in Nigeria is Trading Then they should maximize it because trade and commerce is the life blood of any Economy |

almarthins:They should chase them out. Let my Igbo brothers come back and develop our land. The Igbos are the only tribe that'll go to another land, settle down there and build everywhere, no other tribe does that. If Igbos choose to leave Lagos, what happened to Asaba in the old days is what'll happen to lagos, and I'll prefer it that way because this yoruba chest-beating is now too much |
