Tell me ho you developed Lagos despite your land looking like this

oodualover:
This is how industrious you are

koning:
Very on point. You cannot believe the number of these Yoruba families I'm helping feeding in Lagos. Most of them from Ondo, Osun and Ekiti. Almost everybody working on my properties are Yoruba. From the Bricklayer, the Mason, Carpenter up to the project supervisor. They don't have any basis whatsoever to complain about the Igbos. They should rather be grateful.

That Owo Iyaloja is paid mostly by Igbo traders.

osun prone to erosion according to senator from dia

generalbush:

If Igbo's didnt develop Lagos, then who did?


Is it our father's who keep shouting Owo da at every bustop,

Or our mothers who sell Alomo and Agbo that will develop it??

I was born and bred in lagos and having been hearing that slogan that lagos is no man's land. Is actually absurd and ridiculous to claim an area is no man's land but whenever you need a portion of land you pay them. By making financial transactions and legal agreement you have accepted that they are the owners. If it's no man's land you need not to make any payment you just jump into any portion of land and develop. If you say the igbos have greatly assisted in developing some parts and sectors of lagos,that is very glaring to everyone even the foreigners but saying lagos is no man's land is a very wrong and insultive notions.

EponOjuku:
The problem you Igbos have is that you don't think far.

When you buy land in Lagos, the best title you can get is a Certificate of Occupancy. The maximum term of a CofO is 99 years. You think you're buying up Lagos but you're just certified tenants.

99 Years from now, our children would hear of how you all wished us evil and may decide not to renew your glorified tenancies.

Guess who brought about this idea? A Yoruba man called Olu Obasanjo. He did this through the Land Use Act in 1978.

The moves of the Yorubas would take you 25 years to decipher and another 25 years to decode.

you are disgracing the decent Igbos

Lagos is a no man's land and the narrative is simple............. The yoruba may more in number but the no man-ness of Lagos is economically based.........

Every Nigerian contributed/is contributing to the growth of Lagos, the federal government used/uses money gotten from all over the country to build Lagos the more, all ethnic group in Nigeria are scampering to Lagos in other to gain back their resources used by FG to build Lagos, Thus making Lagos A NO MANS LAND.......... If e vex una ask federal government to construct federal roads, ports and airports in other region just like it's in Lagos..............

Lagos = NO MANS LAND

hotwax:
Chinese have more investment in lagos than Igbo, they didn't call it no man's land. Dubia is base of investors all over the world, nobody is calling it a no man's land. The lagos no man's land word is birth from jealousy. Igbo wish they have a place lagos.
They forgot they can anambra another lagos

SolidGenius:
True talk! Igbos must start to understand that Lagos will always be yoruba land.

The Foolish Obiano already poured kerosene into this madness.

Gotze1:
Abeg why is this place not developed? Because I no understand why our land will look like dump site and we keep crying of developing another man's house.

i will only accept that lagos is no man's land if the next governor or oba of lagos comes from igbo land.Oni yeye gbogbo

EponOjuku:
On the contrary, I don't want Igbos to stop calling Lagos no-man's Land and I'll state my reasons.

Yorubas welcomed Igbos with an open hand and returned their abandoned properties after the war. Meanwhile, Igboid groups in present-day Rivers and Bayelsa states refused to return confiscated Igbo properties.

Nigerians from all ethnicities come to Lagos, live, trade, work, build and retire here. However, Igbos ignored the landowners and contributions of everyone and are selfishly but are foolishly claiming they developed Lagos.

The problem some Igbos have is that they have short memories. They've forgotten that as at when the Portuguese landed in Lagos, they had not yet finished trekking from Isreal or wherever they were downloaded from.

Yoruba are very welcoming and accommodating but won't tolerate nonsense. When these Igbos started this noise, we warned the liberal Yorubas but they said we were paranoid. Now, a lot of Yorubas are seeing the hate and bitterness that Igbos wish upon us and are now waking up.

During the last LG elections, all LG seats in Festac, Ojo Alaba, Amuwo and other areas with large Igbo population were collected and are firmly in the hand of Yorubas. In 2019, we're collecting our seats from those Igbos representatives and HOA members.

The environmental sanitation is presently political. When we're through with that, we move to other areas. By the time we ban gala and Fan yogo hawking in Lagos and the economy of a whole Igbo state crumbles cos of that, maybe you'll have sense.

Let Igbos keep calling Lagos No man's land, it serves to wake up the consciousness of liberal Yorubas. Mind you, the quiet Yoruba man is the most dangerous. The revolution would not be televised.

GodIsBiafran:
My people lets stop saying this nonsense. Orji Kalu started this rubbish - as a political plow to distract from his abysmal failure in Abia state. If you like say this thing a million times - It does not change the reality that Yorubas run Lagos. Have you lived in Lagos? I lived there for many years, so I know what I am talking about.

We need to stop all this nonsense and concentrate on building and developing the SE. All this time we have been shouting Lagos is no man's land where has it gotten us? Biko lets buy sense! If we concentrate our efforts and divert more of our resources back home, with 2 decades the SE will become the envy of not just other regions but of the entire African continent.

Mods, Please take this to front page so I can have this discussion with my brothers and sisters. Thank you.

GodIsBiafran:
My problem is that it is distracting us from facing our own issues. This energy we are using to lay claim to Lagos online can be used to hold our elected officials accountable for their actions. I believe we Igbos are the most industrious tribe in Africa, however, we have to direct our energies towards the right direction.

kehinde1588:
Its so disgusting for Igbos to say Lagos is no mans land. All i see is envy and nothing more. Whether you like it or not, Yorubas own Lagos and that fact can never change till Jesus comes back. Don't go and develop ur land be claiming rubbish

MightySparrow:
Nonsense thread. Igbo's made Lagos what it is now. Igbo man will one day rule in Oba of Lagos's palace.

majekdom2:
I will know lagos is no man's land the day an Igbo man becomes the Governor of the state.
