Lagos state government should make sure all night buses coming to Lagos state are completely empty. E get why

Accommodator indeed, anybody with common sense would notice this whole thing reeks of jealousy and inferiority complex, i used to remember when they were supplicated and educated then Escobar came and turn them to nuisances and Agberos.
Education no longer matter.

A yoruba god whom created Lagos from the atlantic ocean when his people were in deep sleep and was promised by Oduduwa to hold on to it, as his and his families inheritance eventually lost an election in Lagos and all hell was let loose.
'They gods are not be blamed'!

Na from clap wey dance dey start, the Igbos should use their tongues to count their teeth. A word is enough for the wise

The earlier, the better. What they cannot condone in their region, they do to others.

Ever since I read the beautiful article from FFK as far back as 2013 titled “The Bitter Truth About The Igbos”, my eyes were immediately opened to the agenda of these people to commandeer Lagos State like they did in Portharcourt.

You see them cursing and making derogatory remarks about Lagos on the Social Media, but deep down in their hearts, they covet Lagos more than anything you can imagine.

one should be careful investing in lagos. I wonder what will happen after the 99 years of land ownership expires? will they allow you to renew or will they share it to their brothers even if you have megastructure on it?

The most senseless post i have read so far, to own land under the land use act u must be at least 21years of age, if your consent from the governor is for 99 years like u said, how will one be able to renew it, when they would have been in the grave resting?

This is the most senseless reply I have read. Don’t you know people can inherit lands? Or should I break down my comment for you to understand the point ? I mean if the offspring of the landowner want to renew the 99year lease agreement , will it be honored with this level of tribalism being exhibited in lagos

If Tinubu and his gang of tribalists no throw Nigeria into ethnic war...them no go rest.... it starts as nothing de happen...until something stet to de happen ...and then it will be too late. ..especially now wey America don put eye for Naija matter ... why are these guys so bitter and senseless at the same time

What tribalism is being exhibited in Lagos State, does the governor look 👀 @ a name before he grants a consent?

I am presently in possession of 4 properties in Surulere my late father bought from 4 different Igbo men in the 1970’s, all this talk of tribalism is absolute thrash from poor minded Ndigbos.

Mind u what u said is crap about renewing land after 99 years expiration, if the family is still in possession of the land, u do not need a governor’s consent for any renewal, it kicks in automatically by the operation of law, only when the family decides to sell or convey the land, a governor’s consent is required.

Very ironic, there are over 300 ethnic tribes residing in Lagos State, quite funny that it is only one tribe Igbos always doing the wailing, how come so?

U no dey shame to say oyibo done put eye for Nigeria?, keep living in illusion wishing evil on yourself.

Na this kind mentality other tribes in the Federal Republic of Nigeria, will never support an Igbo man to be president, if Igbo become president of Nigeria in your lifetime, it will be a miracle.

Unless there is a deliberate and united resolve to rebuild and uplift the East, the Igbo will continue to endure struggles reminiscent of the Jewish people before the birth of the state of Israel.

Shawarmagirl:
I am reading comments above from some jealous fellow who wish they are Igbos. Hates and jealousy will only keep you where you are.

Igbos will buy that your little land you claim you have and build something magnificent while collecting his rent. Keep hating. No Nigerian is an immigrant in his own country.

Those hating, go to South East go buy lands build if you can afford the money for land.

A serious mental sickness is when you feel people are jealous of you and want to be you. As in, people from ethnic groups who were more advanced and more organized before the Europeans came would prefer to be you? People whom you flock in droves to their region to escape the poverty in your region would prefer to be you? I'd advise you should try your hands on stand up comedy.

This is another crap reply from you. Why don’t you do some research so you can appear smart in your argument . I helped you ask chat GPT.

..the 2023 elections has exposed those who were born with bigotry, nepotism and tribalism not only to Ndigbo but those that looks like Ndigbo.. to the bile & jealousy they have for anyone that looks like Ndigbo....

...all this gra gra go definitely end...when the standing on the mandate fall..the miles will start to be counting...

..make una enjoy una grab..
..na una time..e go soon finish..

Tinubu, a Yoruba and self-appointed Lagos landlord, is the president. He can cause a bill to expel the Igbo from Nigeria to be tables at the national assembly. Until he does that, Night and day buses will be zooming in and out of Lagos with reckless abandon.

I wonder how u will develop Lagos without the night buses coming.

Stop lying to yourself
I am a northerner and I can tell you that Igbos did not develop Lagos. Igbos only took advantage of the cosmopolitan nature of Lagos

I just dey laugh..

People who emigrated from the south east to Lagos in night bus yet didn't want to be called immigrants

Yet not of the owners of the demolished buildings have come out with the approved building plan…
