where does dangote have the headquarters of his company and major investment and also where does he reside? Or I guess Adenuga is from Lagos too because those are the 1 & 2 richest in Nigeria. So common sense should tell you that the factors used to determine there location is based on where they reside and where they have the Hq of their investments is domiciled, no be everything dem go Dey explain for Una grin
Thanks for the honesty. The same special indigenization status should be given to most Igbo traders in idumota and Balogun market who have been there for more than 30 years and contributing to the development of their local communities.

grin what special indigenous status? And what brought eboes into this discussion? You lots just love to dwell in delusion and over estimate your self worth. Before you get too high on your delusion, may I tell you, you need Lagos more than Lagos needs you.

Lagos was already developed largely by the colonial master which developed the Lagos island which was British colony and administrative capital which the former fct and ended at fadeyi non Lagos, the rest of the mainland was under western region developed by Awolowo and most on the infrastructures was developed with proceeds from cocoa money. The Ikeja and ilupeju industrial estate was developed by him and other infrastructuress

Lagos was already developed before your ancestors started migrating to Lagos and we are just blessed with a good geographical location and good people which is why Lagos is why Lagos is a thriving economy that attracts investors and even dangote as far more investment and pay far more tax than what your petty trading activities contribute to Lagos.

Lagos is the one that is feeding you and your people, if not why not go back home and develop your region. Oyo state is just about the size of SE and yet Ibadan is far more developed and economically viable than your region. Lagos will never be annexed by eboes, you were not forced to come and develop Lagos, you can stay back and develop your region too, btw proudly Lagos cheesy

Why are you crying? So you love to indiginize Dangote but not Igbos. Did Igbos ask you to sell all father’s land to them?
Who is contesting revenue with you? Have you ever seen anyone going where the environment is not favorable? Is it not foolishness to build all these things you mentioned, just for another to occupy and benefit?
By the way , can you mention one state capital in the east which is less developed when compared with Ibadan?

grin Otondo, maybe you should check your dictionary for the word indiginize like you spelt it😂😂😂 most of you trader will just come on SM and be mentioning words you no nothing about😂😂😂

So I guess dangote is now an indigene of Lagos because he as investment in Lagos or successful in business because I can’t just make any sense of the gibberish you just wrote and I don’t know why this have to do with eboes?

We know you lot have always coveted Lagos grin you don’t even mind to abandon your heritage for Yorubaland grin and let me repeat again since you lack comprehension. I said your entire 5 plot of unproductive region is not as developed and economically viable as Ibadan and not just a city in your region grin

Ibadan the city of many first as far greater achievements, infrastructure, industries, FDI, real estate value, Agricultural Development etc than you will find anywhere in you Region, numbers don’t lie nwokem, you can see it from the stats i posted, mgbeke feeling funky grin

Which countries are breeding the continent’s millionaires, and why do some cities attract billionaires while others lag behind?
Is Nigeria, Africa’s largest economy, punching above its weight or falling short when it comes to creating extreme wealth?
And what do these numbers reveal about inequality, opportunity, and the future of Africa’s economic elite?
The ONLY Forbes and Bloomberg Billionaires Index-listed USD billionaires living in Lagos: 4
1. Otunba Mike Adenuga.
2. Femi Otedola.
3. Aliko Dangote (Lagos and Kano States).
4. Abdulsamad Isiaku-Rabiu (Lagos and Kano States).
