Typical Afonja; very ungrateful. Yeah this 20 billion naira corporate office in the heart of Lagos owned by Nestoil/Obikackson who pays over 10 billion naira in taxes and duties every year is also owned by a multi-national abi? This is the problem with you afonjas; you have zero appreciation for people helping to support you in taxes, money used to pay salaries of your fathers and mothers, whom are 90% civil servants. You are not ashamed you are naming multi-nationals, why not name yoruba companies? You can't because there is non of tangible significance. 99% of companies in Ogun are multi-nationals.

How I arrived at the tax and duty figures for dumb afonajs asking. Nestoil makes over 200 billion naira in sales, assume he nets 100 billion naira, common sense will tell you he pays 10-15% in federal and state tax. You haven't added millions it cost to clear its goods, and berth its ships and barges at the ports; some of these vessels can run over 1 million a day in berth fees.

Ogbeni read my lips, GO AND DIE.
The chairman of Nestoil was not FORCED at gun point to set up his business in Lagos, he did it in the best interest of his business.
The whole world is in Hong Kong doing business today, the British build Hong Kong and handed over the city to China after the expiration of their lease agreement.
The British did NOT laid any claim to Hong Kong.
Show us the LEASE agreement between Igbos and Yorubas concerning Lagos or STOP crying over your useless spilt milk.

An Igbo indigene has never been the governor of Lagos state till date, therefore any development happening or has happened in the past should be attributed to Lagos present and past leaders (Yorubas). Lagos development was traced back to Portuguese merchants and British colonialist using Lagos as port and administrative centre before the discovery oil. Lagos has been the most developed land before the era of ground nut pyramid, oil boom and Igbo/Hausa immigrants. Then, the word Nigeria was never in existence.

So how did Igbo built Lagos?
Igbos are known for businesses like clothing shops, spare parts, and other street hawking business. Can these businesses develop Lagos? Yes, they can contribute to the development of Lagos but not the large Chunk of development.
The way Igbo’s are into Spare Part and all, we also have Chinese, Lebanese, Indians traders in Lagos paying tax, yet they are not claiming to be solely developing Lagos.

Tax DSTV, MTN paying to Lagos state per month is more that the tax of 50,000 Igbo traders.

For enlightenment, these are the businesses making Lagos.

MTN, GLO, DSTV, schlumberger, Lever Brothers, Unilevers, Indo foods, FirstBank, GTBANK, TOTAL, Samsung, EKO Hotel, Cocacola and thousands of multinational firms.

With their tax alone, Lagos can develop at its own pace.

Finally, all tribes are contributing to the development of Lagos state. I know some mallams from Kano who have invested Billions in Lagos. Look out for Lagos Bureau de change. I have not seen any Hausa man claiming to built Lagos alone. Yorubas may be the dominating tribe, but Lagos was not built by Yorubas alone.

Yorubas are just beneficiary of the nature of Lagos. Sea, Port and Population.

Have your say.

Lagos does not belong to Yorubas.
Yorubas didn't develop Lagos.
Lagos cannot run itself, Yearly Abuja sends multi billion naira to lagos.
Stop confusing ursef

Bini people and awori pipo have said(not claimed) that they own Lagos n that's a fact.
