Oga Paul, charity begins at home. Expand your business to your region. Hospitality business is thriving in Imo State.

Why not create an artificial lake in Owerri and build a tourist centre in your home state. You invest your money elsewhere, a government comes and ruins everything.

He's first and foremost a businessman before ethnic loyalist... which works better, artificial lake or natural ocean? Insecurity nko?

Good for them, I pray Lagos doesn't become Warri, if Greece empire can fall. Nothing last forever. Demolishing businesses that pay taxes for owomida toll gate.

Go back to your barren land.
Lagos does not need you.

Lagos needs genuine investors like Dangote, BUA, Eleganza, Otedola, Chinese businessmen, not those constituting nuisance on our land.

His home is Nigeria. We do not have to divide the nation all we have to do is to know our common Enemy and we already know how the west have influenced our politics. Even in Igbo there are people that will destroy the new nation with politics

Forumites:
They’ll still oppose their movement. Let them go No! Ok let them stay in peace No! Easterners should go back home and develop it more. The world will come looking for them.

Go back home.
No one needs you on our land.

Go and make your region liveable

Igbo people and Tinubu obsession 😆

.. Yoruba people and Peter obi obsession 🙂

This same man who property was demolished in Lagos for the coastal highway. Why didnt he come to Rivers earlier. Hope they dont Bleep him up again.
It pains me to see how governments treat entrepreneurs like these.

All of you are Social Media contractors. Did they touched his properties? Why did he failed to tell Nigerians there was an ongoing Court case on that beach land before Calabar expressway project issues?

Anyway, since they said he has uprooted his operations out of Lagos, he should inform the organizers of POWERELEC NIGERIA 2025 that POWERELEC 2026 would be in Portharcourt.

Lagos is the only city in Nigeria that has the Triangular Forces of Heaven established. Lagos has Three International Borders - Land, Sea and Air.

proeast:
Oguta is best and potentially most lucrative. He should be wise except Rivers state government would be investing in his project, otherwise it's still potentially risky but better than toxic Lagos.

Anyone who is still investing in Lagos with all the bigotry and hate the bastard of iragbiji has entrenched, will have himself to blame.

They believe Lagos has arrived and thus they can mess with investors assets recklessly. But all it takes is awareness and people being intentional in staying away.

Real estate sector has already taken a hit there and that's why slums are appearing everywhere in Lagos.

Stop wailing endlessly.

Go and make your region habitable. We don't need you

Blitzking:
When businesses relocate finish na ghost go pay toll

Go and make your land habitable.
We don't need you on our land.

Arostar2023:
You are obviously not a Nigerian. Or you are simply hiding your head in the sand like an ostrich. Investing heavily outside your state of origin or region is high risk in Nigeria. If you must do that, partner with a local or the government. It get why... Nigeria is hopelessly polarized along ethnic lines.

Go and make your region liveable.
Enough of your needless wailing.

Your same brother (Umahi) that the government used as a tool to ruin everything are the same people that will ruin everything for him in Owerri by unknown gunmen kidnapping and killings.

PH in SS is geographically part of Eastern region. That is why the ports there are called Eastern ports.

No port in the East. It is landlocked

Port Harcourt is not part of the East.

Did the government tell you the document was missing?? How about the big banks and foreign companies that invested in landmark?? So the all didn’t do due diligence?
How about the lands with c of o been reallocated in Abuja? No documents too??
You poor today no mean say you go poor tomorrow, one day Nigeria will happen to you and we will ask you same question 😁😂

The matter is very simple. He does not own the water front land. He admitted he tried to buy it from the federal govt but was rejected. That alone is proof, he knows the land does not belong to him.

Now this is the issue, as you rightly pointed out no one would lend you such sums without doing their due diligence. Therefore a man with a brain can clearly see that his business model was not based on the beach. His business model was profitable without the beach but obviously more profitable with the beach. On this basis he was able to obtain his loans. He is simply trying to be too clever by halves. What compensation is he crying out for when he built recreational facilities on land that did not belong to him? Did he pay the government for the use of their land for free for many years? When he tells you he invested millions in the resort, the money is in the high rise buildings, the hotels, the events center etc. those are on the land on which he holds proper documents and no one has taken away from him. I am almost certain that his investment in the beach side (which never belonged to him) is less than $1m if that and I am sure he has recouped his money.

Artificial lake ke.. You forget there is Ota mmiri, Nworie river, another one beside old ogbo shishi and another behind Old IBC Radio station.. Also, there is Oguta lake but I wouldn't advise Oguta lake because its far off from Owerri city.

However I think he has an investment in Owerri, an event Centre and some real estates.

But then, the governor of Imo State is not investment friendly. Plus the land grabbing going on in Imo State by mostly government official is unimaginable.

Oga PH is geographically in the east. This was how the old Eastern region was structured.

PH is not part of the East.
Go and develop your land.
Haven't you wondered why no non indigene is residing in the East till today.

No one speaks Ibo language except the Ibos

Believeintruth:
But it is a political construct. Am I lying here? Show me in the Nigerian map the geographical coordinates named South South. Please try and have sense, allow sense to catch you, stop running faster.

I said I wasn't going to reply you because most of you Ibos lack the ability to engage in a conversation without insulting. You Ibos don't have that maturity.

Now the entire SE is barely 30 million people. That's the population of 2 and a half states in SS and in your mind you think it's by chance.

Talking of sense, I'm yet to see a sensible Ibo person. Never!!

If you want to base your arguement on the names of regions after the military coup, no problem, but there is also a reason why your East has less numbers of senators and house of rep members compared to SS, SW and North.

You still want to talk of sense ? I laugh.
My advice go use your 200 naira borrowed data to do something meaningful.

Believeintruth:
He didn't get it mixed up what is known as East is SS and SE. Geographically PH is East.

Na lie.

Port is in the South, it's not part of the East

”our land” you speak like a demented demon. U meet land and u go still leave am go. Our land indeed.

Believeintruth:
Geographically PH is located East. What we know as SS and SE was called Eastern region because of geographical coordinates. Even Cross River is actually the south eastern part of Nigeria Geographically.

Always claiming people's land as usual

Why aren't you contented with your 5 states
Is it because there is abundance oil and gas in the South?

That's very profitable.

Paraman:
PH is in the south south. The project might even be located in the Ijaw part of PH

Yes,it is

Good for him. He should do his due diligence well this time with regards to the beach front. All lands by the sea belongs to FG though it can be jointly administered with the states.

That's the root of the problem of what happened to Landmark in Lagos. FG simply reclaimed their land. The main Landmark structures which is on LASG land were not touched.

Which foreign company invested in landmark?

We don't need your petty businesses on our land.
Your region needs more of those things.

Everything you own in Lagos is not up to 0.0000001% of Dangote refinery in monetary values.

Paraman:
PH is in the south south. The project might even be located in the Ijaw part of PH

Does it matter whether it's located in Ijaw part of PH?

GeneralPula:
But PH is not in the east..

Anyway, goodluck to them o

It's immaterial. So long it's moving its business from Lagos.

kpukpuyenke:
Port Harcourt don enter East?

Interesting 🤔

It's immaterial. So long the business is moved out of Lagos. Others will follow suit.

The relocation wave is surging with intensity. Landmark Group has boldly uprooted and shifted its entire operations. One can only hope that the dominant Niger Delta-owned banks and oil giants will seize the moment, relocating their headquarters—or at least a significant part of their operations—to Port Harcourt. Failure to act now risks leaving the region vulnerable to the next toxic chapter of political neglect and economic marginalization as the proverbial cock crows its timely warning.


Due to numerous inquiries in the thread.PH was part an parcel of the Eastern region. PH was originally developed to evacuate coal from Enugu. PH was originally called Igweocha.

They are absolutely losing their minds over a business that coughs up N10 Billion per year in taxes relocating to PH . Imagine the chaos if bigger players like Access Bank, UBA, Zenith Bank, Seplat, Nextoil, or even the Zinox Group decide to pack up and leave too. Lagos is living on borrowed time, and the clock is ticking.

Word on the street is that even Dangote is fed up with Lagos’ endless drama. Rumor has it he’s planning to move his main HQ to Abuja and rent out his Lagos office once it’s finished. If that happens, expect BUA to follow suit, and Lagos will finally settle into the role everyone’s been envisioning: the economic hub of Yoruba land and little more.

Comedian poor man that has nothing in his pocket given advice to investors
Lagos does not need them, rather they need Lagos to expand their wealth. Lagos is a land of opportunity, it is either u comply or u Bleep off.

Better ooooo invest in your state alist your people will have employment and development

canalily:
Since when did portharcourt became East

Yes. Na for map called wishful thinking.

Only a dumb conglomerate will relocate out of Lagos. They should be ready to relocate the businesses of their major clients domiciled in the state also
