This is a loose talk.

What did they bring from their village while going to Lagos. Majority of them went through the night bus with nylon bag.
Lagos made the Igbos, simple

Confirmed, To Be Honest The Entire Yoruba Nation Contributes Less Than 35 Percent

Oh i didn't know Kwara was also a Yorubaland. And many Yorubas i had conversations with online were excluding and removing Kwara from their map, saying it is not a Yorubaland because of the Fulanis there.

Ok, please read the history behind mass migration to Lagos Nigeria by different TRIBES of Nigeria during the 1960s. Just try there's no shame in knowing things you have no knowledge before.

I am saying this because i wasn't arguing with you of what tribe owns Lagos Nigeria, where my argument lies is for those saying that the Yorubas made Lagos that after making Lagos what it is today, then the Igbos or others started migrating to Lagos.

Lagos State Nigeria has been a HOME to all TRIBES in Nigeria since 1914 till today. All Nigeria tribes OWNS Lagos Nigeria our former capital and also it's home to our colonial masters before they left Nigeria.

Lagos, Nigeria belongs to all of us Nigerians.

You too should go to anambra with night bus and nylon so, that the state will make. Lazy outh like u in the words of our late former president.
U see no difference between you and the lazy south Africans

SHIVA001:
True talk we should accomodate each other, igbos don’t really like theirselves in their homelands main reason why Dey move to other part of the country or world for trading. Na fear of being killed at home when u are already excelling. Use to make them come to Lagos.
When u don’t even like yourselves u want other trybe to like and accept you…hmm okay ooo

Complete lies, igbos are explorers that is why they don't live in their states they rather move to other state to explore and seize opportunities available in places they go, especially in trade and commerce. They are fearless and courageous to take risk. The core belief is that as an igbo man it's required that you leave your place to make wealth before coming back home. Pls let's respect the igbos.

Me I just hate when Igbos think yorubas can't do business and we won't survive with their trade, go and check the multinational businesses driving the economy and work force they are majorly occupied by yorubas and hausa

jfking2005:
Next time ask which part of Lagos was the former capital of Nigeria and your daddy will educate you better.
You have encroached beyond the capital to the best of my knowledge

Woow, the number of likes am seeing here is equivalent to the number of all Zone Bs in Nairaland forum....

16 in number? That's interesting.....

UncleAyo:
We also wish they can look homeward and give back to the economy of their region too. And make the region a place every Nigerians will cherish (covet and call a nomansland) and want to call home for her available opportunities.

All region in Nigeria must equally experience economic growth. Not until Yorubaland is overpopulated.

You (literally) can't give what you don't have (- or can't replicate - in your own home)...

These are the kind of statements that your kins make and then there's wahala, you will soon say they hate your triibe,how do you call a man's land,no land or land for everybody Is that how you accommodate others in your own town?

fuke:
Let them go and give to their states
and leave Lagos and the whole of SW alone.
They should go and develop their states too.

lawani:
Cities like Abidjan in this same west Africa is better developed than Lagos by infrastructure but it was not like that during the days of the western region. Nowhere in west Africa was as developed as Ibadan or Lagos back then.

Therefore if no Nigeria do you think Lagos population would have been lower or the infrastructure worse? Presently Abidjan is a more expensive city to live in than Lagos.

The selling point of Lagos is the high population and some status it gained like being the unicorn capital of Africa and etc. It was also ranked highest at a point for tech innovation or so. How did Nigeria achieve all that for Lagos? Nigeria or not the population would have been there. The population is in New York

close your dirty gutter you call mouth. Dispute the statement or you hold your peace, as if Yorubas don't kill, which zone believes and acts rituals with human head, bones, and other parts of human body

Lagos Nigeria is a Yoruba land, it is in the map like that and very close to the Atlantic Ocean i mean it borders Atlantic Ocean. Where our colonial masters came into Nigeria from.

I didn't call Lagos Nigeria a no man's land!

I said it belongs to all TRIBES in Nigeria. All of us.... there's reasons for that.

So you think the Yorubas made Lagos Nigeria what it is today ?

Yes. Yoruba made Lagos wat it is today. It has been developed long before ur great grand fathers ever thought of migrating there. It has been a major trading centre between the Yorubas and Portuguese as far back as in 13th century. So you igbos have nothing on lagos. It made you!!

Hussein035:
In 2025, Lagos State attracted $2.56 billion in foreign capital (dropping to second place nationally behind the FCT), heavily skewed toward portfolio investments. In contrast, its robust domestic economy generated an estimated ₦1.87 trillion ($~2.2B) in Internally Generated Revenue (IGR), highlighting the massive scale of local business over foreign capital inflows

Above is the analysis of what Lagos IGR in 2025

Igbos pls if total local is 2.2 billion dollars revenue how much did Lagos state government generated from dangote, GLO, and some other non Igbo business calculate how much IGR Igbos contributed and have sense

Apcshit:
The kind of crap you are writing about igbos.Dont let me invoke thunder wey go fire you

ArcSEMPECJ:
Lagos State is a no man's land but unfortunately it is found in Yoruba soil....

It is a no man's land not because of the land area but in terms of Developmental strategies, all tribes in Nigeria joined hands to from Lagos State....

But by land property, it is unfortunate to be in Yoruba soil , Unfortunate because if that part of Nigeria where to be with South South or South East , Lagos State won't be this backwards ...
