Go back and read your entire source again. I told you why you cannot brag about Lagos in this particular instance for the south east, but I'll use your source anyway: "The South Easterners plus their cousins across the Onitsha bridge control commerce in all parts of Nigeria and are thus largely employed."

For the past 5 years, Ibaka seaport was under planning and design. You don't do that in a day! The design was handed over to the federal government not long ago.
Enugu airport is still under construction and the policy to make it international has been implemented.

Now what was at stake and why Yoruba fought to remove GEJ?
They want to maintain Lagos dominance, at the same time asking others to leave Lagos. Is it not greed and self delusion of the highest order?

What the Yoruba APC has to do to make Lagos solely for Yorubas.
Complete the Ibaka seaport as quickly as possible since the design is completed.
Complete Enugu International airport and formulate policies to make it fully functional.

These are the things GEJ could have done if he got his second term but the Yoruba wanted to maintain the status quo.
You guys really suck!

SirShymexx:


Where in my post did I "rely" on the overall GDP figures, apart from the Lagos GDP, which is plausible? Nollywood still has a long way to go, to be considered as a proper industry. The whole nollywood thing is like underground hip-hop - inconsequential in the scheme of things

SirShymexx:
Black people make up a meagre 3% of UK's population (I doubt we're upto that cos once you leave London, it's difficult to see black people anywhere else apart from a few other major cities), but we've black MPs who won elections in areas with huge black populations. However, how does that negate the fact that black people are still inconsequential in the overall scheme of things?

Other folks aren't as lousy, covetous, and aggressive as those from the Igbo stock. I guess that was why the King gave them a stern warning. You lot always overestimate ya importance, to be honest.

Yorubas are the problem of Nigeria yet you imbeciles keep running to Yorubaland in your millions. Governor Babatunde Fashola deported destitute Igbos back to their cursed land the other time and you scums were crying all over the place like bush babies.

Yorubas are the problem with nigeria.
Keep them aside with their hypocricy and double standards and watch Nigeria grow.

Trash from a deluded bigots, What is Lagos dominance? Is Lagos Yiboland. Why are you fools always fighting over Lagos. All the trash you wrote is filled with lies, tribal crap and bullshit. You can continue to blame Yorubas for your insanity and misfortune, no one cares.

This idea that Igbos 'control' commerce in Nigeria is yet another chest beating nonsense that bears no correlation to reality.

If you say Igbos are dominant in trading, yes, one can let that pass. But 'commerce?' that's nonsense.


Igbos do not control Nigerian economy. Fact.

Lagos dominance is what you guys live for and die for. Why the Aviation minister was removed. Why GEJ was removed.

Nigerians will fight and take over Lagos from you guys if you keep witch hunting others.

edogirl2:



So when did other Nigerians (Edos, Hausas, Igbiras etc) meet and tell you they're willing to fight alongside Igbos against Yorubas over Lagos.


Nigerians, except Igbos, recognise Lagos as a Yoruba territory. If your people want to fight over Lagos, you're on your own.

Gbawe:


You are dense. Why has 'commerce' not made them the number one regional economy in Nigeria and the region adjudged to have the potential to have one of the fastest growing economy in the world if it were a Nation? The Pakistanis control the corner-shop 'commerce' in the UK yet what does that mean in the grand scheme of thing when 10,000 of them combined are not as rich as even one of the Candy brothers or employ, pay and empower as many Britons as Richard Branson or Philip Green does? You guys will never get it because of your penchant for bragging wildly due to you perpetual desire to compensate for the inferiority complex you suffer from.

otr1:
...[s]in that case, don't expect the project to materialize till "thy kingdom come" if you're expecting the Yorubas to help you construct the Sea Port.

If the Yorubas are so capable of frustrating anything good in the SS and the SE and you guys are helpless about it, isn't it obvious that we're superior to you?
Now that you know that we can thwart your progress, isn't it wise that you stop getting on our nerves by calling us names?
I know an average Easterner deep inside, fear and hold the Yorubas in high esteem, but I never knew you've elevate us to the level of your deities[/s].

ezeagu:

It's very dubious to compare Nollywood to underground Hip-Hop when it's Nigeria's number one source of soft power. To deny that is to deny that Nigeria has any soft power at all.

So Igbo politicians who won in well-known majority Igbo areas of Lagos has nothing to do with the population? It's just a coincidence? If the Igbo are covetous, then I wonder what the guys who dubiously installed a vassal king in your land should be called.

edogirl2:



I certainly do not speak for others, but as a matter of public record, no one has heard Hausas or people of other backgrounds threatening to fight over Lagos.

This is an entirely Igbo project, and good luck to them. But they should not try to co-opt others into their own machinations.

Nnemuka:

How is the SE? Cave dwellers want to compare the SE with theirselves? How much has Tinubu looted? He practically stole everything in Lagos yet you guys celebrate him y?


I guess Stu pidity runs in your veins.

tobtap:
most of our eastern brothers are CLUELESS

sCun:
This is why Jonathan is a very foolish man, or perhaps he was distracted for long by Boko haram.

However, if Yorubas think they can continue to work against the economic progress of other regions by making sure only the Lagos ports work, they should be ready to continue contending for the ownership of Lagos with others and also suffer the effects of overpopulation and the strain on Lagos inftastructures.
You can't have your cake and still eat it.

Calculia:


That is right, the same way Awolowo was killing three million igbos over wanting to remain in their nation.


U cant cut your cake and have it.

Sloan:


Leave Buhari and his government out of the distraction of an already signed and in-process contract / project of the 2nd Niger Bridge. Government is a continuum, PDP FG led by GEJ & Ibos got themselves a swanky deal with Julius Berger and contribution from the FG, and Buhari should never touch it except ensure that JB completes the project. Then, Ibos can start paying their toll fees to JB to use it!

The sea port, just like Lekki, is a Lagos State-initiated project with buy-ins from the FG and private sector and no FG will go build a sea port for lazy Ibos who wasted 6 years of their chance stealing the country blind and empowering a few like Oduah, Iweala, Madueke, GEJ, Mama Piss, Pter Oboi, and co!

edogirl2:



Wetin concern me concern Awolowo for this debate now?


Bottom line is I, and several others that I know who are not Yorubas simply find the idea of fighting over other people's land laughable.


Unnecessary aggression (not talking about you personally) gets nobody anywhere. Especially in Africa. Igbos will end up with a nasty bloody nose, and nobody wants that.
