During the colonialist ear .. OJUKWUs father was the biggest landlord in that same LAGOS.

Try and elevate your educational exposure. Accepting narratives that suit your bias shouldn't be termed as truth when you know they are false

Moreover..that paper you posted ..is definitely something typed in a cyber cafe. grin
Ojukwu's father wasn't even born when the census was carried out.

You're not even ashamed to reinforce the notion that your place is dirty just because of petty bigotry undecided

Na wao
And you want to kill yourself because of a 'dirty' place. What kind of psyche is that?

You must have gotten that statistics from IBS ( Ipob Bureau of statistics)

If 45% of Lagosians resident are Igbos, 20m population, that's roughly 8 million Igbo's in Lagos state. How many Igbo's are in other SW states , how about in North and South South.. Oh the Igbo's in abroad as well.

So what's the population of the Igbo's? How many Igbos are residing in South East? When it comes to figure, you people have really been struggling
For a very long time, we have minded our businesses in Lagos, basically just making money and staying in our spaces.
But that has to change now that you and your types have chosen to attack. Destroying houses, attacking igbo voters and burning markets. We will now engage by collaborating with whosoever that is interested to really dictate tunes in Lagos. You have been crying, but you will soon have real reasons to cry..

With the APC, you insecure lot have shown your ulterior plans towards a peaceful people. We never dragged Lagos with anyone, but that will now change. Go and get ready, because we are ready to drag Lagos with whosoever shows up. Lagos does not belong to you or anyone. As long as Nigeria subsists, Lagos is a NO MANS LAND.

Igbos constitute 45% of Lagos population and that make them a majority tribe in Lagos, the remaining 55% is divided among other tribes Hausa, Ijaw, etc, with Yorubas struggling to grab 40% even Egun, Awori doesn’t see theirselves as full Yorubas, if not for intimidation and violence against Igbos in elections, Igbos will almost win all senate and house of rep seat in Lagos.
I am igbo but this is a ridiculous, useless, none essential racially induced post

Do You see Chinese and Indians say they are taking over U.K and America despite having the highest work visas for skilled Labour and Talent and having major investments in the USA and having Many Indian Born CEOs of Big companies in the Usa and Asian tech guys

Do You see the Saudis say they are taking over USA or Uk despite having major investments there

Do You see Chinese and Indians say they are taking over Nigeria despite having some of the major investments in Nigeria

Use Your Brain and use your sense. Get exposed

Stop tribalistic posts

Mods too and Seun should be deleting tribalistic posts

Have Sense. All this are distractions

At the higher levels of wealth and power

Tribalism does not exist

All this are not relevant.

Its interest and value brought

Buhari while in power jailed Dasuki and kept Emefiele

A lot of igbo elites and bankers supported Tiinubu

You guys should stop allowing people use You to cause distractions

We can't even produce a phone charger by ourselves

We cant fees ourselves without importation

People given low interest loans for farming by buharis government so as to reduce food importation, create jobs, reduce pressure on Dollar, increase domestic production , increase supply and potentially stabilise prices

, some diverted part of the Money to dollar speculation, oil and gas and some who produced even colluded to hoard and increase prices

We have more important issues

Than who rules where

How many Igbo's are now residing in South East.? Argue this logically and don't make the attempt of derailing

That's not true. In most SW states you have more hausas than ibos. Okada riders, laborers, kiosk keepers, maiguards, food traders are mainly hausas in the SW. But they don't attract unnecessary attention like the ibos

Re: Igbos Constitute 45% Of Lagos Population And That Makes Them Majority by franchasng:
After Hausa, Igbo is the next most populated tribe in Nigeria.


Forget about the fake, rigged censuses and government backed lies. The truth is staring at all of us on daily basis.


In virtually all the 36 Nigerian states, after the indigenous tribe of any state in Nigeria, Igbos are usually the next most populated tribe, that should tell you that Igbos are the second largest tribe in Nigeria after Hausa.


If Yorubas migrate to all the 36 states in Nigeria in large numbers like the Igbos, all Yoruba states will become deserted, with just handful of Yorubas.


But Igbos are virtually in their thousands and millions in all the 36 states of Nigeria and still, if you go to Southeast, Aba, Onitsha, Owerri, Enugu, Abakaliki and co are all filled with people and mostly Igbos still. This simple practical scenario should tell any reasonable person that Igbos are the second largest tribe in Nigeria after Hausa if you don't allow Nigerian government fake censuses and statistics to deceive you

So, you really believed you have more Igbos in Lagos that is surrounded by other SW states, than you have Yorubas? cheesy

Its like saying you have more Igbos in Kano that Hausa or Fulani and if you do not agree to that, then s-h-a-m-e on you for de-sp-sing those that accomodated you more than other regions

Igbos are the number one major ethnic group in Nigeria.. forget all the pseudo statistics stating they are the 3rd major ethnic group due to political biases. From emperical statistics ..they dominate massively the old Eastern block comprising the south East and south south of today.. they also make up the second largest ethnic group after the indigenous people in all states of the federation.. kiss the truth and stop being petty

The sincere question is, if there own region is Conducive, why are they running away from their abode without making any efforts of developing it?

If the indigenes of where they have been running away to have neglected the development of their land, would your people be flocking there?

Lol why don't u ask the fulanis why they move from one place to another with their cattles.. it is simply their Culture cuz they are nomadic in nature.. For the igbos they are adventurous and industrious.. they like to explore .. So u saying why are they not in South East alone sounds ludicrous and who says moving from an indigenous land to other places to develop it is a crime ?? Igbos are the ethnic group who don't discriminate when they in oda territories.. They always contribute dia quota in developing whatever areas they find themselves

It is because the Igbos have decided to come to the dirty place to hussle and make enough money, buy your assets and turn you into their tenants.
