I don't even hate Igbos as a Yoruba man but nairaland Igbos are beginning to make me hate the tribe as a whole.

Whether we like it or not everybody in this country has their boundaries, you cannot drag Kano or Kaduna with Hausa man, you cannot drag Lagos with a Yoruba man so like wise you cannot drag Anambra or Enugu with an Igbo man, if Nigeria should break up everybody will go to their papa house.

Nobody is undermining the contributions of Igbo businessmen and women in Lagos,they do their business and pay taxes like every other Nigerian citizen but Lagos is Yoruba land no matter how cosmopolitan it is,

London has a lot of Indians,Pakistani,Chinese investors, there are even areas you go to in London like Balham, you think you are in India or Pakistan but it still never changes the fact, London is in England and the English owns it.

Thanks to the Yoruba guys for putting these pigs where they belong. For making them know their positions in our land as nobody. Thanks guys, was too busy yesterday, would have came in too. But I love you guys. We will keep using left hand to point to their fathers' land for them. We use left hand for them because that is where they belong, they don't deserve right hand. Remember what happened in South Africa after they are claiming to developed South Africa. They cost other nationals doing their things and respecting their hosts. Thanks guys.

Which other tribe controls business in Tejuosho, Balogun, Trade Fair, Alabama International, Ikeja, Aswani, Festac, Amuwo Odofin, etc etc etc

Sum up all the land mass and tell me if it is up to half a local government in Lagos State. So development is market, transport business, buying lands and building second rate properties.

I wonder what other tribes in Lagos also doing business, trading, working as professionals and doing well will say, they also developed Lagos.

You are crying too much....read the write up again...Nobody is dragging Lagos with you but when you try to deminish the contributions of the igbos to the development and buoyancy of lagos,then you force the igbos to remind you they are the largest contributors to the development of Lagos, hence they are the developers of Lagos.they are not dragging the ancestral ownership of the land neither are they dragging the traditional stool with you, but as Nigerians that they are forced to be, they will ascert their constitutional rights in Lagos or elsewere, even to becoming the governor if they wish so...its as simple as that...if it pains you, go and d**. It is actions and counter reaction, tit for tat....it is one Nigeria you and your politicians are fighting for..

According to op, Igbo developed Lagos a no man ' s land and what were his parameters, first he said that Ibos are part of an organic concentrated market, - That sounds like bullshit to me. build which market? all the markets in Lagos State are built and regulated by Lagos state government and marketers duty bound to pay rent annually, Lagos state agency known as Lagos state development agency is the landlord of all the buildings and stalls in idumota market for example, and people that leased to others pay rents annually. I know this and same applies to most markets in Lagos. That is for market.

Next, another parameter for development by op' s denatured assessment is transport and he made mention of ekenedilichukwu, guo et al. I laugh in ikwere, Please recall, that the transportation system in Lagos is in the firm grip of the informal and mostly illiterate Yorubas which Lagos state government is taken over with brt buses, lamata and new buses are coming in to phase out danfos , that is development. The rail track under construction in Lagos has no single input from you guys, as well as the cable cars under construction, what of water transportation that is also firmly in control of the Yorubas but the Lagos State government is also taking it over. Now your interstate buses only developed the pockets of the owners not Lagos.Comprehende!

Now real estate, I laugh when I hear you guys brag about real estate, first note that all lands in Lagos state belonged to the state,except ones acquired by the Federal government that is the essence of Land Use Act, 1978. So all the purported land owners in Lagos state are tenants of Lagos State government.
Secondly, the aggregate lands purchased by Ibos in Lagos state is not even up to 10 per cent of the aggregate of the total land mass of Lagos state,that is huge for a tribe, hence the misconception by you guys albeit ignorantly, when you say you have bought all the lands in Lagos state, i marvel at such brazen and unabashed ignorance,i know this for a fact and don't ask me how.

As per hotels ownership, I laughed, tell me which Ibo hotel is bigger than oriental hotel within Nigeria. hotel biz is in the firm grip of the Yorubas in Lagos State. Motels or 2 stars hotels don't count, they are meeting points for resident strumpets and criminals, the major turf of you guys.

Now development is making a thing better that it was, it is not making it worse, you guys have only succeeded in under developing Lagos State, you hardly pay tax, largest chunks of criminal acts is resident with you guys, a lot of defaulting tenants not paying their rents in courts are ibos. So how have you guys developed Lagos and you guys can't ramp together money to build 2nd Niger bridge and Lagos state is building a rail track criss-crossing about six local governments without any input from Federal government.

I am an indigene of Ikorodu and I know for a fact that Ikorodu,ibeju-lekki and epe were part of Ogun state before they were made part of Lagos State and it is an insult to say Lagos is a no man's s land.

I hope I have been able to cure your ignorance today.

They don't pay tax, the tax regime needs to be tightened and when that is done you will see them bring out the victim card. Pray I don't become governor Lagos State very soon, Ibos as well as other will pay their taxes every Kobo.

I didn't even see this your comment because I was busy asking the Igbo guy you quoted the same thing, they keep shouting we developed Lagos, let's even start a decent conversation without insults with them on the question "how are the Igbos developing Lagos" because I don't understand what they mean by that.

Prior independence the British built the infrastructures in Lagos after independence the FG built the infrastructures and from Democratic dispensation till date the Yoruba Administrators have been building the infrastructures in Lagos.

If Igbos think doing business and paying taxes to Lagos govt is development then am sorry for them. Are they the only Nigerians paying taxes in Lagos, so how exactly are they developing Lagos or developed Lagos which ever the case may be.

Even if we are to accept the false claims "Igbos developed Lagos" here is a typical example, if I build a house and it's not painted and I rent a house to another person, he now paints the house, does it make the house the tenant's because I don't understand these Igbo people.

No one is afraid of you not liking igbos and next time you are making examples, use Oyo state, ibadan instead of Lagos. Nobody can drag ibadan, ogun state with yorubas. Lagos is no mans land

Nairaland must be perceived as fair. If the other thread without any documents saying igbos should leave lagos to yorubas or something like that should be pushed to homepage, why not this analytical thread, with accompanying documents? Is nairaland now an only pro-yoruba forum? Mods should do something about this

1. Why did you guys go back to Igbo land during the Civil War, since Lagos is no man's land you guys should have stayed back in Lagos?

2. If I build a house on someone else's land without his consent do you agree that the owner of the land has the legal backing of the Law to demolish the building because whoever owns the land own whatever is on it.

Explain in detail how Igbos are developing Lagos.

You are either ignorant of the dynamics of economic development or you are an indomine generation kid or you just want to be intentionally stupid..

Talking of dangote..what is the value of dangotes asset in Lagos compared to the value of between 8 to 10mlion igbos in Lagos? Ranging from the ordinary gala seller to the importers to the industrialist and service firm owners...plus the individual properties...

Secondly, your poor understanding of group economic is very appauling..

Let me explain something to you...just a market concentration of eg 5 thousand occupants is not only employing them as traders, they also pay rent to the landlord who feeds his family and invest from some of his rent proceeds, the food sellers, transporters, local government taxes, also land lords of close by residential properties benefits, the value of land and properties increases, the restaurants and beer parlours will thrive, the hotelers will accommodate distant or visiting shopper who will lodge as against the next days market, the warehouse owners too are not left out, what of the importers and their distributors who come from far places,the recharge card seller...at the end, who benefits? The masses and not one single dangote who milk the populace, remain a billionaire but his people remain the poorest because they are not empowered.

That is just an example of the ripple effect of how business concentration attract other businesses and create chains of multiple opportunities for other affiliated businesses to thrive hence bringing overall economic development...

In case you don't know, after capital, real estate is the bedrock of any business and real estate is the major driver of development...whether it is housing, hoteling, office complex, malls, plaza, industrial site, roads and bridge construction, name it...everything is conducted on land and in a house/shop/office or factory or whatever name you want to call it...
