You may be right but every tribe is also guilty of such crimes. True or false? The onus is on us to learn from them legitimately. How many Yorubas are selling car or car parts at ladipo or elsewhere? What of building materials? These are regular needs and money spinning business areas we're not looking into. You don't need juju or rituals to thrive in it. Only a few of our people who ventured into it never regretted it. I don't need ti mention names. You know them. I'll remind you of Elizade,.metropolitan, etc. They're billionaires today.

Obaaderemi2:
Does this make sense to you?
Are you not the fellow everyone tags jobless?

ProudlyLagos:
charity begins at home nwokem….how far have you been able to develop your land? Ibadan alone is far developed more than the entire SE

https://x.com/blockofbuilder/status/1930623327099310517?s=19[/quote]Pure stupidity. Why not encourage them to buy instead of telling them to stop selling to them. If the lagosians refused to sell to land to other tribes, kwara state would have been better than Lagos👌

Sirmwill:
Then when South Africans do the same, Nigerians shout Xenophobia

theredaddy:
Let them buy it, naa land dem buy not authority


even if they buy the whole ibadan land can they re -write or erase the heritage n culture for there own

Yorubas,mostly the Igbomina from Kwara state dominate the building materials market in NigeriaThey are the ones who deal in blocks,iron rods,mesh wires,paints,ceilings,timbers,plywood,nails,corrugated iron sheets,cement etc.
They don't only deal in them,they manufacture in Nigeria too.
Yorubas also dominate the fuel chain market in Nigeria.
85% of fuel stations etc are owned by Yorubas.
Not to talk about vehicles,mother care,jewelleries etc.

Ritchiee:
You are the ones deceiving yourselves of buying up land from Yorubas who you and your ancestors have always seen as being superior to you Igbos just to shore up your identity.You don't shout buying up Kano,Akwa Ibom etc.
People will continue to sell land for business especially when they know they can take back the land soon or even revoke its certificate if they even have one.
If you go Indonesia or India to carry powder and buy land in Yorubaland,they will sell to you,wash your hand clean because they know that it is just for some years when they collect another money or take back their land.
Ask baba Ojuku.
Even Russia assets have been taken over in other lands.
Develop your scanty Igboland but na the place that is already more developed than your region you are deceiving yourself on.

lozanni:
Those lands, I believe, are bought on long term lease and will eventually return to the original owners; this means that there is no cause for alarm.

SUNNINO:
Says who?

alizma:
Which part of Enugu, Owerri and Aba is developed, how many square meters? As for the Yorubas, selling(leasing) part of your land to foreigners for development and business purpose is not a crime but mind the areas you sell, you don't sell places that hold history values for generations to come.

sulaak:
There is nothing wrong with Tribalism, if the Tribe develop their own regions

Black man and his wack mentality

The hukou system is China's household registration system, a residence permit required for all citizens to live legally in a specific area. It was originally implemented in 1958 to manage internal migration and is crucial for access to various social services and benefits, including education, healthcare, and housing.
Key aspects of the hukou system:
Historical Purpose:
The system was designed to control population movement and allocate resources, initially dividing people into agricultural (rural) and non-agricultural (urban) hukou categories.

proeast:
These are pictures of Aba. If I don't tell you, yorubas like you will think it's Europe.

Zeebuy:
I second this motion. After seeing the handwriting on the wall after tinubu won the election, I sold off my properties in Yorubaland. Right now, I have around 13 plots in Badagry and I'll dispose of them soon too

Eriokanmi:
Igbomimas, especially the oro people are petty-traders in building materials and iron scraps they also sell hand tools. When we talk of major building materials, go to Odunade-Coker at mile 2 and see things. I used to join people like you to beat chest until I visited that place. The 90% of the shops there is owned by igbos. A yoruba man owns the odunade/coker complex. That's where I bought all the materials for my house at alimosho.

The agbeni-ogunpa market in Ibadan, that used to be occupied by yorubas are now being taken over by igbos. There was a man called shangokoya in those days. He was the sole importer of lister engine which was mainly meant for grinding casava and corn, from india. It's an old invention. The engine uses 2 drums filled with water to cool it down, it has a long wide belt connecting the engine to the grinder if you still remember it. Some used to convert it to an electric generator in those days. Mr shangokoya became old and his children couldn't continue. That was how the business stopped. Ibos have taken over already. Go to all our villages. Boys have abandoned farming ,now doing okada business in the cities instead of learning the type of trading ibos are doing and taking the skills home to establish. How many ibos do okada transport? Their people will scold then.

The last time I travelled to my maternal grandmother's town in ekiti, most of the shops I visited to buy things were owned by ibos. One of them has a petrol station there. If he builds a mansion in my town today, they'd envy him instead of blaming boys who grew up in that town but doing okada transport in the city. As they're leaving for cities, ibos are tapping the opportunities they're leaving behind. There's no way people won't build houses, buy parts, buy drugs if they fall ill. Those boys don't see all these but quick and daily okada money. Who do you blame for that, still ibos? Our orientation needs to change, seriously.

ProudlyLagos:
mention one state more developed than Ibadan in your 5plot of erosion land?

Ishilove:
The person who made the post is a lunatic and those commenting to support the lunacy also suffer from the same mental imbalance. Are they forcing them to sell? Did they sell under duress? If you're not comfortable with other ethnic groups buying up Yoruba lands then speak to your brethren not to sell again. Abi?

Useless, lazy and insecure bunch of idiots.

Ofemannnu:
lol
Look at lies that you are spinning seamlessly.
I stayed in Coker. I lived at Fatimoh close in Coker village where most of the Igbos who do business at Odunade live.
They don't sell building like the ones I mentioned there.They sell mainly toiletries,water machines, pipes,tiles etc.
Most of what they sell are imported by Doyin industries who always import 15,20 etc containers every now and then and this is where they mostly buy from.
I am very privy to the doings in the sector of building materials.Yorubas dominate it 95%.
Where you can see building materials include Lagos Island,Pelewura,Sura,Owode In iron,Orile,Ladipo in Orile Iganmu,Oluti etc.
You will hardly see Igbos except a11w very few.
The fuel chain market,new and old vehicles are also70% dominated by the Yorubas.
Igbos are mainly petty business people.

Let me see if you know what business really is or you are just clowning.
If you think Igbos know business up to Yorubas...
1.Name just one Igbo business that is up to 48 years and I will give you Yoruba businesses that are more than 100,90,80 years and still kicking.
2.Name just one tangible Igbo businesses abroad and I will name more than 10 Yoruba businesses,Most multibillion dollars businesses.
I still have more only if you can pass that.
