Buddah Monk: I dont know why Yorubas cant swallow pride and move on.

Thier leaders know that 100 Igbos that left Lagos 5000 Yorubas that go to bed empty stomach.

Igbo traders employ mostly Yoruba domestic workers,from drivers to cleaners to nannies to gatemen to washers to gardners etc yet these e-rats wont admit it here but deepdown they know all is not well.

Come to Fardock estate here at Iju,79% of the buildings are owned by Igbos,then check out the huge canal by the side of Fardock Estate,you will see poor squatters living side by side the slum,poor houses with rusty roofs,most have no bathroom,poor toilet,poor sewage system,you will see tombs inside rooms and beside gutters.....to my greatest dismay my inlaw told me that those slum dwellers were the ones that sold all the lands in Fardock Estate.
He showed me one Rasheed whom he bought his land from,Rasheed is a slumdweller after selling more than 6plots of land to those Igbos.
The wives of those slumdwellers are now working as domestic workers to those Fardock residents.
My question is what did those Yoruba landowners do with the fortunes they realised from selling off those lands to the igbos in Fardock Estate?

Nawaooo this is not funny

ba7man: If you want to know an Igbo man that lies, he uses a lot of "Percentages" in his terminologies.

When you get to the same estate he's talking about, you'll think it would be like a mini Enugu but you'll find out its all fiction and percentages pulled out of his ar5ehole.

Who in Nigeria doesn't know that an Igbo man that makes it in Lagos will bring in up to 15 of his relatives along. Some will sleep in the shops, the company bus.

Picking a help out of the number of relatives he imported is also a no-brainer so you see another lie from this dude i quoted.

Andre Uweh: You should be more worried with the level of poverty in Hausa and Yorubaland. Hausas know how poor they are and don't make noises over it.
What's the point of having one rich Adenuga in Yorubaland that gives arms to 3 thousand poverty stricken Yorubas every week.
Thank God we are not poor to collect arms from Orji Uzor Kalus, Innosons, Emeka Ofos, Arthur Ezes, etc.

Buddah Monk: If arrogant you is still doubting come let me take you on tour of Fardock Estate at Iju Ishaga an see for yourself.

Sorry to say this,Your people are just useless.

Who do all the extortions of N5,N10,N20,N30,in all the markets in lagos=Yorubas.
Who move all the garbages generated in all the markets in lagos=Yorubas.
Who wash plates in lagos.

ba7man: keep quiet jooor. No, who else collects N5, N10, N20, N30 in Onitsha and Aba?? Is it Yoruba too??

Who moves the garbage in eastern markets?? Is it Yoruba??

Who washes plates in the east??

Because you're able to see the dregs of the Yoruba society because you live in Lagos doesn't mean they don't exist in your region.

paj4love: I live in owerri and I had my N/P school & secondary in Lagos , the truth is igbo's standard of living is higher than any other tribes in Nigeria i.e we have more millionaire than any other tribe in nigeria

Buddah Monk: Ur very useless for Christ sake,most Africans that travelled to the Western world work as domestic or industrial workers while the citizens are the boss and call the shots,but here in Lagos the case is different for the Yoruba landowners.
WHY...

Yorubas in Onitsha sell Kolanuts and Fetish objects and they have dominated and excel ther(though i havent met a Yoruba landlord in Onitsha),the rest are into okada,domestic water fetchers,woodcutters,selling poisonous herbs,begging fo

voltron: Only one question though. why does the Lagos economy dip during the Christmas period.. what happened to the business drivers.. common easter and revenue will just hit rock bottom because the real lagosians have left for the holidays

TribalEAST: you mean the igbos own all the multi-national companies mentioned in the opening post? You mean igbos are the ones employing everybody? You mean all the media houses, phcn, airport etc close down when the igbos travel back to their erosion land?

You must be an under 17 to have asked such question.

geeez: If all Igbos moved out of Lagos, the economy will only shrink by less than 10%

The LASG will rather shut down Alaba and Ladipo markets for good, than watch a Dangote, Otedola or Otudeko close shop for one week

ba7man: Shey una don hear??

You'll all just be tickling each others balls about your percieved speriority to make yourselves feel good.

I dare you to fold up your biz nd move back east..............In short, I'll pray for you guys to get your Biafra.

@Ilugun Boy I recalled one thread on Nairaland which provided a detailed listing of members of the board and MDs/CEOs of large companies in Lagos.

That thread was actually a response to a claim by an Igbo poster who didn't believe that Igbos controlled many major corporate structures compared to other groups. That thread was QUITE illuminating.

I ran a search for the thread and it came up as deleted/hidden , although various posts there are within view.

the name of the thread was "Igbo owned companies Ezeuche take note"

Off the top of my head - companies in Lagos which Igbos control or have as much stake as Yorubas

Diamond Bank
UBA
Zenith Bank
Various Oil Servicing companies including Millenium oil and gas, Chrome oil, Integrated oil & gas, etc
Flour Mills of Nigeria LTD
May and Baker (CEO)
ThisDay Newspapers
Sun Newspapers
Daily Times of Nigeria
Emzor pharmaceuticals
Orange Drugs
Eko Hospital


There are many more but too lazy to continue.

patrick89:
Those marketers can also determine the kind of product (produced by the multinational companies) they sell out to the buyers since they all come from a particular ethnic group..so don't write off the traders because they are very united, if you push them to the wall they will be forced to boycott your product!! #justsaying

Only one question though. why does the Lagos economy dip during the Christmas period.. what happened to the business drivers.. common easter and revenue will just hit rock bottom because the real lagosians have left for the holidays

Haaa!!

What ethnic group do the founder of Zenith Bank and some members of the board identify as?

What ethnic group do the MD, Deputy Director, and Chief of group of companies for UBA come from?

Because they don't have "chukwu" affixed to thier names you think they are not Igbo?



Way to affix 3/4 ownership to Eko Hospital when I stated that the list is of companies where Igbos control (i.e. Majority ownership) or have as much stake as Yoruba.

And aren't most companies in Lagos Multinational?

Why are newspapers seen as unimportant? Aren't they major companies who survive on revenue?
