https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=02sgnI2ddd0
The Lagos Trade Fair demolition has sparked a firestorm across Nigeria. In this video, we uncover the shocking details behind the destruction of over 19 buildings, the outrage from Igbo traders, and the explosive reactions from Arise TV anchors Reuben Abati and Rufai Oseni.

Why are Igbos being called "immigrants" in Lagos? Is this just urban planning—or something deeper? With Peter Obi and other political heavyweights stepping into the scene, this story has become a national flashpoint.

We break down the controversy, compare it to past demolitions, and explore the emotional and political fallout. If you're following Nigerian politics, Lagos news, or ethnic relations in Nigeria, this is a must-watch.

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

Me too I am from Birom in Plateau state and you are right, Tinubu and Yorubas built Lagos from scratch, everyone know this

None of those lands were stolen or snatched. These lands were obtained legally.

Two years ago, it was votes.
This year it was Streets.
This month it is shops.

And the supporters those leading these actions are sleeping hungry.

Time will reconcile all things.

No matter how much the tank is filled, water must find it level.


First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist
Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist
Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist
Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew
Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me

U know what I'm talking about but u are pretending not to know.

kcprince:
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?

Go and build parmanent eritances in your Villages not Lagos. Stop giving yourselve fake hope of owning thing permanently in another man's land .

This country is sitting in a keg of a gun powder...

So no be one Nigeria again?

Ojukwu saw this earlier

just Divide this country make everybody answer him papa saw name

Lagos belongs to me and other 230 million Nigerians. Stop dreaming that you own lagos alone

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm! Palava!

The Mayor of London is from Pakistan. That hasn’t made the white people to come out shouting that the original inhabitants of London are the white people. So please, everybody should just accept that Lagos belongs to all.

The Mayor of London Sadiq Khan is 100% British. HIs parents moved to London from Pakistan in the 1960s, yet I have never seen any Pakistani claiming that Pakistanis were the ones that developed London for the English. I have ever seen Pakistanis insulting the English or claiming to dominate the English in their own city

BTW, I am Nigerian living in London

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.

if not this nairaland bot I would have educated your ignorance.

Why so much battle against igbo in a state that was former capital territory? A state built by contributions from every other region and still seeking to be granted special status which makes it metropolitan? All of you stoking the fire of tribalism should not complain because it will come back to haunt all of you.

And let me also remind you that FFK has children from igbo women. Be guided before you slip into the abyss of jealousy and painury

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.

Sorry my 4 titles are not lease, they are fee simple, (freehold) that is the difference.

Ask your chapgpt about fee simple title.

What concerns me with your freehold. I was talking about renewing after 99 years and from no where you just jumped into a topic you know nothing about. Now you want to claim it was freehold instead of admitting your errors. Rest abeg
