Exactly. Meanwhile they ruined our regional government system through the evil coup and completed it through Ironsi ... Now Nigeria is stuck. They are now talking about Biafra. No way we're in this together... No escaping from their creation!

So sorry for your experience, I always encourage good treatment for all buyers. The nation will be better for it.

Ojiofor:
Igbos are not tolerant as you said but how many properties does yorubas have in friendly non Igbo teritories in Nigeria outside Yorubaland?

Eastwalk:
Yorubas owns thick properties in friendly place like Warri, ph, Abuja outside Yoruba land, in Abuja for example most of the 5 stars hotel are owned by them like I said earlier they don't make noise.

Nicon luxury hotel own by a Yoruba man jimoh Ibrahim the best hotel in Abuja

FKO81:
Ignorant at the peak
Can you compare Nicon to transcorp Hilton owned by Tony Elumelu

Come on shut up there liar. I mean shut ur mouth ur lie is stinking, i mean very stinking. Is it my ph or is therw another ph ur yoruba people own properties? U have not even left the west and u re here talking Rubbish. The only business yorubas do in ph is taxi driving and selling ogogoro, or maybe were u talking of taxi as properties. Just call d location of one single landed property owned by yoruba in d entire south south. Even in akwa ibom d presence of yoruba is zero except those that peddled their way to eket. In the North yoruba owns nothing, even the market they sell in are owned by Igbos. I have been to all northern states, so mention one. Shut up there.

Nonaira1:
You just said you know plenty of yoruba workers with properties in PH. Give us exactly where since most of us that lived or currently living in the state in question have never met such, story moves to "so they'll be attacked".

Na who the f2k will attack them? If noone attacked them befpre, why would they be attacked now.

Anyway, to be honest, I expected that post changing reply so not shocked

IloveMoney:
In my village alone which is a thick village anyways but developed as every typical igbo village littered with beautiful mansions and recreational joints, If you don't have atleast 2million(if you are lucky), don't even come and price land there. Just imagine carrying a yoruba man to my village to buy land, he will first think that it is a village and why should he buy land there when that 1.5million would get it an acre in a typical village in the southwest or two plots at the outskirts of Ibadan or oshogbo....

and obviously, as a property investor, his which is to invest in the city, but when he gets to the city and they tell him a plot of land is 10million, he will say they dont want to sell land to him, that was why they increased the cost instead of him admitting his poverty and his un-seriousness to by the land. Truly these people are not only myopic,primordial and local, they are just too cowardly for my liking.

LOL this your tales are for people who have no knowledge of history..... you Igbo people connive and loot the shops of non Igbo rendering them bankrupt. I believe that's what you meant by thick skin to compete.

We Yoruba have not forgotten how you murdered the Oshogbo major spare parts dealer which resulted in you being forbidden from selling car spare parts in Oshogbo till today and tomorrow. That is your meaning of thick skin to compete....

..... Obasanjo having a piece of land in Biafra is symbolic... After all he CONQUERED​ Biafra. But it should worry you that he chose not to develop it at all....

Meanwhile no sane Yoruba man can ever think of investing in Igbo land....not one.... Not yesterday..today or ever. We will rather invest in the North... Yes the north and south south.

You mentioned portharcourt ...the garden city is NOT Igbo land...never has been and never will be... In Nigeria of today we can show you what Igbo have been allowed to have in all states especially in the West ...

I dare you to show us pictorially​ the properties of all other tribes Hausa Fulani, Yoruba, ijaw, itsekiri, urhobo, ikwerre, igala, Tiv, jukun, igala and idoma properties in all Igbo state capitals. You lot are simply intolerant...

Don't create stupid threads next time... For I will be more prepared to expose your lies...at all times.

Cooly100:
What about Kaduna Nzeogwu, the Igbo coup leader. Where was he from?

ExpiredNigeria:
Bro stop ranting, Op put a simple question there you didn't invest in Igbo what that's south east what stops your from investing in South South? where else in the entire universe does yoruba man has investors in landed property? No where because you guys are not investors to even say that Igbos don't sell properties to other tribe.. you simply don't have the money

Amberon11:
Lol... So many Yoruba's I know own properties in Port Harcourt. I mean so so many. I know a particular Yoruba family that owns 2 houses in Port harcourt, Hausa's too. Don't compare PH to igboland.

GavelSlam:
I cannot give you specific names because I do not have the clearance from the families.

It's up to you to believe all oil workers of Yoruba stock whom you love to claim took up all the jobs available at the time refused to build homed for themselves whilst there.

Baseless lie about property in Igboland

By Azuka Onwuka

There is a baseless lie many Northerners and Southwesterners have repeated for long that they now believe it to be true, and they have continued to pass it on to their children. That blatant lie is that the reason they don't have much property or businesses in Igboland like the Igbos have in other parts of the country is because Igbos don't sell property to them or rent shops to them.

The Arewa Youths repeated that lie in their letter to the Acting President thus:

"And since the Igbo have virtually infiltrated every nook and cranny of Northern Nigeria where they have been received with open arms as fellow compatriots, we strongly believe that the region is no longer safe and secure in the light of the unfolding threats and the fact that for a long time, the Igbo have gone to extra ordinary lengths to ensure that in their domain in the South East, Northerners and Westerners are as much as possible disenfranchised from owning any businesses whereas in Kano alone, they own not less than 100,000 shops across all the business districts."

I have thrown a challenge many times on this but nobody took up my challenge. I made myself available to help anybody buy property in Nnewi and give that person a signed promise that nothing will ever happen to that property and also make my children take over that pledge when I am gone. Mind you, a storey building sells for as much as N200 million in some parts of Nnewi. So don't think it is some place where nobody wants to buy from.

The simple question to ask those who make this baseless claim is, if Igbos don't sell property to them, don't Edos, Efiks, Ijaws, Ur hobos, etc in the South-South sell to them too? How many lands and shops do Northerners and Westerners own in Calabar or Benin or Uyo or Warri, etc?

How much property and stationary businesses do Northerners own in the Southwest outside Lagos (former capital)?

How much property and businesses do Yorubas own in the North outside Abuja?

So what is the reason for that?

I have urged some Hausas and Yorubas in Nnewi to buy property but some of them smiled knowingly and kept quiet, while some told me plainly that they can't take such a risk with the way things are in Nigeria.

The problem is simply fear of the unknown. Most Nigerians - minus the Igbos - have this fear that there will still be trouble in future. So they go into any state outside their region with a bag to do their business and leave when they are done. Many don't even go with their wife and children for fear of the unknown. They believe that it is only the former FCT (Lagos) or present FCT (Abuja) that is less risky to invest in.

Most people don't understand what drives Igbos in their business and investment decisions. Igbos don't buy property in other parts of Nigeria because of any special treatment given to them by their hosts. They buy property in spite of all that goes with property and the risk involved. They lose their money to fraudsters and omonile regularly in the Southwest. They lose their property to government demolition of property. Yet they invest in property because they see property as a profitable investment, and they hate to continue to be tenants forever. An Igbo man wants to be his own master (landlord) as quickly as possible.

Igbos have lost their property and businesses to burning, destruction and looting repeatedly in riots in the North. They have even been killed repeatedly. Yet they return to rebuild.

A few years after the abandoned property saga in Port Harcourt, Igbos returned to Port Harcourt and began buying property again like crazy. Even when they are warned of the possibility of a repeat of 1970, they still go ahead to invest in property.

Obasanjo has had some land in Enugu since the 1970s when he was head of state. He has not developed the land till today. Buhari said in his asset declaration that he has some land in Port Harcourt (probably given to him free of charge). He doesn't even know where the land is, not to talk of developing it. Yet these are heads of state who fought for the unity of this nation and are always talking about one Nigeria and need to believe in Nigeria. Yet they don't even have faith in investing outside their regions or FCT.

Igbos believe that crisis and loss will not make one not to make an investment decision. Their thinking is: "What if I don't invest and nothing happens eventually to the businesses or property around? Will I bring back the hand of the clock? But even if I invest and it is lost, life goes on. Life is a risk."

It sounds like a crazy way to think but that is how they are. No other Nigerian ethnic group thinks like this. That is why some people who don't travel assume that the reason Igbos live in large numbers in other ethnic groups and even return to places where they are killed is because Igboland is not developed. Even if you have never travelled to Igboland, please Google the CBN report of the six states that control 90% cash transactions in Nigeria.

The simple reality is that Igbos are wierd risk takers when it comes to business and investment. Other ethnic groups don't have such a trait. People are different.

The reason we do these intermittent interventions is to ensure that things are put in their right perspective, for those who care for the truth; for it was such falsehood that was spread in 1966 and used as a justification for the genocide against the Igbos that year.

Shops are available in Igboland, if you have the money and have the thick skin to compete. Land is available for purchase in all parts of Igboland, if you have the money. Igbos are business-oriented. They sell or rent their property to the highest bidder. And once the transaction is done, it is done. No stories.

Just keeping the record straight.

Markfemi2:
I think we have listed where our investments are outside Yoruba land

And we prefer to invest in ourselves than outside and that's what we are the wealthiest tribe why is it paining you we don't want to sink our money in erosion Biafra

Nonaira1:
I lived in the state so I know my own experience in that state. The entire time I lived there, all the yoruba I know and met, not ONE owned a property despite living in that state.

Heck even in the city I'm from, Asaba, there are too many, way too many of you if you ask me in our city and despite such high percentage of una living there, the amount of yoruba with properties is ridiculously small. When I say small, I mean microscopic small.

Heck look at this thread for example, majority of your people replying the questions are either making claims of "I know many people blah blah" kinda like what you did. One posted an image of a hotel in Abuja which completely eluding what the Op asked and another posted street images with yoruba names as prove of "yoruba properties in abuja" once again competently eluding what the OP asked. Pretty much avoiding to answer the OP questions

It's not what "I believe", it's what I saw with my own two eyes.

GavelSlam:
I see.

So no Yoruba person owns property in Port Harcourt.

You are correct.
