like I said ignorance is bliss..you can believe everything you want but also tell your trash to the thousands on northerners living in Igbo cities and towns...same way I should be termed ignorant if I should use the the number of senseless religious crisis and riots over the years in the north were in the process Igbo men lose their lives to conclude that northerners are savages even without going to live there

Mzdivacious:
lagos is as yoruba as abuja is hausa. get ur facts right,its a national centre so people from other tribes def troop in,but it will always identify as yoruba to d core,in d olden days,everyone knew it was yoruba,u dont see ibo kings in lagos do u?but now that its so rich,it not yoruba per se,lmao

This ignoramus made this ignorant statement and even went on boldly to tell someone else to get his facts right.
Abuja, an Hausa territory?
When some Igbo people say most Yorubas are ignorant and don't travel much, I take them like they are joking.. Someone like you has no business with contributing on this thread, this has really revealed the knowledge of all non Igbos venting their frustrated lives on this thread.

Ignorance is bliss- asha80.

Arsenate:
It has nothing to do with fear of competition as the ibos on this thread are trying to imply. It is more to do with the fact that the ibos are not really hospitable people couple with the fact that they are very hostile with nasty arrogant attitude to go with. I mean even here on this thread they are already displaying their arrogance by implying no one can compete with them.
Nigerians will rather live in Jigawa than live in Anambra; FACT.

there arnt much places where seaports can be placed in SE o, most possible ones are d anambra river, or cross river areas,. . . . . .but even at that it won't be a major seaport

christopher123:


It is simple ..the outsider just can't compete with the igbo ...OK lets assume that the Yoruba man wants to open a shop in Aba to sew will he compete with those hit Aba boys

OK let's assume that the ijaw wants to sell fish ..will he compete with the rivers igbo man or riverine anambra man

Igbo land is open to business and we still have strangers like hausa and suya business with forex while Yoruba are into agbo herbs and some taxi business the efiks are into cooking


It's just division of labor

If u can compete come over

If Igboland is as prosperous as you described, why did you run away from the place and now reside in SW Nigeria for the last 10 years?

so u can't differentiate between a verb and a noun

realjoker:
please dont see this question as tribal driven motive, as on the point you raised, we dont have to keep living in denial or keep on hallucinating what is not factual,,,, it is no news that there is least concentration of non indigene or non native in SE zone compare to other zone in Nigeria, this baffle me most of the times and that is the motive behind this question, and only salient and substantial contributions are welcome.
As I earlier stated in the original post tribalist bigot are not welcome.

omoelesa:
Their is no yoruba land u cant buy land.Even when u go to ondo and osun, u see ibos owing their own cocoa plantations.The ibos are the no one discrinator,and when they are discrinate against, they shout victicmazation.

Abagworo:
Is it not same with Southwest? Abeokuta, Ibadan, Oshogbo, Akure, Owo, Ogbomoso, Ilesha, Oyo, Ado Ekiti etc. are just Yoruba towns with almost everything Yoruba. Lagos cannot be counted as a Yoruba city per se as it developed as a national centre.

dmater:


What about the plots of lands in Igboland being advertised online and in other media? Are Yorubas prevented from buying them too? I doubt that Igbo businessmen will turn down offers from Yorubas who have the money.

Abagworo:


Igbos are very competitive people. For example it costs 100million Naira to get a choice plot of land at Orlu road in Nkwerre which is more or less a rural area but natives buy it like that. Can a Yoruba or Hausa man buy such land?

Onijagidijagan:

I've once live in Ondo state..igbos there are in millions not thousands..likwise Ekiti.e.t.c.go get ur facts right bf u comment

christopher123:


And SW has sea port and roads paved with gold ..yet apart from Lagos ..the whole SW is standing still in the 16th century ...I don't want to even talk about Niger Delta ..look at bayesla with their sea and whatever ..it is so terrible


This election shows us those places

#100 million for plot of land in a rural area?

Abagworo:


There are Igbos even in the remotest part of Boko Haram enclave but the issue is the percentage population. Yorubas are equally everywhere but lower in number than Igbos because they are mostly taxi drivers, tailors and herbal medicine sellers. Hausa's rank 2nd after Igbos in terms of spread and have higher population in the Southeast than Yorubas. They are good traders like Igbos and control foreign exchange, jewelleries, livestocks and agricultural produce across Nigeria.

dmater:


If Igbos can spare more than #1 billion to acquire landed properties in Abuja and Lagos, Yorubas should be able to spare just #100 million for a plot of land in Igboland to help guide against the usual misinformation of discrimination.

Onijagidijagan:

Whoever bought 100 million plot of land in the east is foolish..
Igbos no longer buy land in Lagos anymore is ..kwara, oyo, ondo, ekiti, Kogi, osun, ogun where they can find rich and educated yorubas to buy their products amongst other things

Make your independent enquiries. The area around late John Anyaehie's house on Orlu Road.
