Setting The Record Straight by abdulahi001(op): 7:31pm On Apr 12, 2015
“Most Igbos says they are the people that
developed Lagos and made Lagos what it is
today. They say without Igbos, Lagos is
finished. And i keep wondering, how has
Igbos helped in shaping and developing
Lagos?
“Lets get the fact right, Igbos didn't develop
Lagos rather, it was Lagos that shaped and
made the Igbos what they are today.
Without igbos in Lagos, Lagos will remain
Lagos and without Lagos, most Igbos may
likely be nothing.
“Reason for my assertion is that most giant
and top companies that attracts millions of
people across the country to Lagos are not
owned by the Igbos so, how has Igbos
shaped and developed Lagos?
“This are the achievements and economic
advancement Igbos gave Lagos and
Lagosians; tokunbo and fake spare parts at
Ladepo Market, China Electronics and
pirated CDs at Alaba market, bend-down
select cloths at Idumota and yaba and
kotangowa market, Chinese and tokunbo
computers accessories and phones at
Computer village Ikeja are Igbos
economical achievement and contribution
to Lagos. In fact, most Igbos are causing
nuisance in Lagos. A visit to this markets
will tell you the amount of nuisance that
Most Igbos has caused in Lagos. The
environments this Igbos traders are mostly
populated are always polluted with waste of
all sorts, they are dirty, stinking, rough,
erection of illegal shops on road, on
pipeline and railway lines are encouraged in
this market places that causes traffic
gridlock and other dangerous acts and
when Lagos state government dismantle
this illegal shops, they get angry, if Lagos
state government close their shops for
environmental violation, they pick offence.
How then has the Igbos developed Lagos?
“As long as am concerned, PZ, COCA-COLA,
7UP, CADBURY, MTN, ZAIN, GLO, ETISALAT,
DANGOTE, SHOP-RITES, GOLDEN PENNY,
FLOUR MILL, INDOMIE, UNILEVER, P&G,
CHI LIMITED, GUINNESS, NIGERIA
BREWERIES, OANDO, CONOIL, TOTAL,
MOBIL, CHEVRON, SHELL, AQUADANA, KFC,
EKO HOTEL, INTER CONTINENTAL HOTEL,
PROTEA HOTEL, JULIUS BERGER, RCC
CONSTRUCTION, NESTLE, KPMG, GSK,
FRISLAND FOOD, WAMCO, BRITISH
AMERICA TOBACCO, FLOUR MILL,
SCHLUBEGER, AIT, SILVERBIRD TV,
CHANNELS TV, LARFARGE, etc are not own
by the Igbos. This companies are what
attracted millions of people to Lagos.
“Igbos shouldn't lay claim that they develop
a place by becoming nuisance. Most of the
top churches in Lagos are not also owned
by Igbos. House on the Rock, Redeem,
Christ Embassy, Deeper life, living faith,
MFM, etc are not owned by Igbos, the only
church that's reasonable that's owned by an
Igbo man is TREM, while another Igbos
church Lord Chosen church encourage
nuisance in Lagos and it also double as the
most dirtiest church in Lagos.
“Records shows that 75% of robbery cases
in Lagos are carried out by Igbos, 85% of
ritual cases in Lagos are carried out by
Igbos, 60% of drug cases in Lagos are
carried out by Igbos, 70% of fraud cases in
Lagos are carried out by Igbos, 90% of
pirated CDs in Lagos are carried out by
Igbos, 60% of fake and Adulterated drugs in
Lagos that has kill thousands of Lagosians
are carried out by Igbos, in fact, most of the
crimes in Lagos are related to the Igbos so
how has Igbos developed Lagos when they
can't get their hands off crimes?
“There's no Igbo man among the top three
richest people in Nigeria, so how are they
successful?
“The truth is that Igbos should be grateful
that the Yorubas accommodated them in
Lagos peacefully, they shouldn't take the
Meekness and kindness of the Yorubas for
granted.
“Igbos didn't make Lagos but its actually
Lagos that made Igbos.”

When will this madness stop? I have stopped this nonsense a long time ago. I thought these issues come and go and they have gone, why are you trying to bring it back? Trust me I have tried this rubbish that you are doing and I didn't gain anything from it.
As your name suggests, you are a muslim. Tell me the SIMPLEST definition of Islam. Its people like you that join Isis, Boko haram etc to give Islam a bad name. Every tribe in Nigeria has its own problem.

But no where in the quran, is strangers allowed to go at loggerheads with their host, the prophet (S.A.W) said,(1) hosts should respect the strangers. (2)Loving one's hood is part of faith.
So tell me, you expect us to sit back and allow some strangers give us d treatment of afonja in ilorin or dan fodio of sakwatto.
Just keeping d record straight.
