I know the next thing in your little mind is Dangote, Otedola, Adenuga, kids lolz

We are talking about numbers not one man squad, learn learn!

There are four or five major market and trade centers in Lagos, namely; Idumota, Trade Fair/Balogun/Auto-Parts, Alaba Intl Market (featured many times on CNN & Aljazeera), Ladipo Spare Parts Market, Ikeja Computer village, and one other one for building materials at Apapa & Orile, and 70 - 80% of these markets are owned and dominated by Igbos!

Go to Lekki from phase 1 - 2, to Lekki County Gardens to Nycon Town to Queens Street to even Banana Island, Igbos are the majority owners of lands and properties in these choice areas of Lagos.

Go to Amuwo Odofin, Igbos have developed swamps into amazing estates, from Okota stretching towards Festac its now an Igbo city looking like Ikoyi.

Where do I start or end

20 - 35% of the tall buildings in Victoria Island is owned by Igbos, I can name them for you because I have classified info, so what are trying to argue for

Dangote might be the richest man, but Igbos as a single tribe have the highest number of millionaires in the whole of Nigeria, you know the truth.

One Iroko does not make a forest. Dangote is one Iroko, same with few Yoruba billionaires, but wealth is spread across all Igbo families and communities.

That's why Igbos don't worship one rich person cos every family or community in Igbo land have their own Iroko

...never misuse the opportunity by looking for the downfall of your host.

Afospecialk:
For your mind you know Lagos more than us abi ? And you know history of all settlements in Lagos as well?

Any Ibo man that has land property in Lagos is definitely making money in Lagos and should never misuse the opportunity by looking for the downfall of your host. Taking our lenient for stupidity by calling us cowards is getting to extinction soon.

I only feel for those peaceful IBO who hav business that worth millions of naira in Lagos and other SW regions bcs am not sure they ar aware about the drum of war that online Ibo are stirring up

I get where you are coming from but these people you refer to are the exception not the rule and as such are in the minority.
I and most yorubas i know don't hate igbos. We love them . Their business savvy attitude and soups and ofcourse beautiful ladies. What we can both do is enlighten the radicals who are in the minority and Breed togetherness. There are some of my Yoruba friends who vote for Agbaje simply because they want to bring down the tinubu oligarchy. Others vote for reasons best known to them . But I believe a man is a man and an angel is an angel; during the presidential election, few people taunted some of us in the polling unit by saying Lagos is a no man's land and that they own Lagos and all . Spoke with them after voting and explained my original stand that we can all be Lagosians but no need for inciteful statements and we debated it and became friends afterwards. Some yorubas in the same place also said that igbos are arrogant . However these are in the minority. It won't be fair to use the opinion of the outspoken minority to cloud that of the silent majority . I agree politicians have tried to use division for their selfish reasons but we need to rise above that . Eko O ni baje.

What do you think make a city rich, famous and great

You think it's when the city is habited by foolish, lazy tribalists who can't think creatively but are good at typing threats and hate words online, is that what you think will make your city great Kids lolz

Go and find out, what made USA the greatest and most prosperous nation in the world; it is their open door nature that brought in migrants, immigrants, etc from all races and nations to build America. That is why most wise and knowledgeable Americans are against Trump's harsh policies towards migrants and immigrants, they know that migrants and immigrants or foreigners built America, but kids like u don't know and won't know.

US Visa lottery played a key role in making America great, which is something Russia lacked, and reason Russia is not as prosperous and promising as USA today despite their technology prowees, because Russians are close minded racists, they hardly travel outside their shores to invest or allow immigrants or migrants to come into their nation to boost their economy.

You Yorubas are towing the same line that destroyed Northeastern Nigeria. The mass exodus of Igbos from Maiduguri and Yola had a very huge negative impact on those states' economy and even security today.

All these bullshit you kids keep typing about Igbos saying rubbish, Igbos are reading and they are very smart people, they are taking note, and with time you will understand the impact.

I have lots of friends who live abroad but have refused to buy any other land in Lagos, citing that Lagos is no longer safe, they now buy in Owerri, Enugu, Asaba, PHC, I am not here to peddle words with u, I am telling u confirmed impacts of you guys tribal threats against Igbos in Lagos.

Me, the land I have on Lagos Island, as a result of pressure from friends not to invest in Lagos property, I am already looking for buyer, which I haven't seen unlike before due to dwindling number of willing buyers.

Go to Italy, I have forgotten the name of that city, the indigenes go out of their way to protect migrants who are mostly blacks from Nigeria, etc and they even try to include them in their politics, and I was watching on CNN 2 days ago, they interviewed their communal leader abi mayor, he said they always ensure their policies are favorable to migrants and immigrants because that their city is one of the most prosperous cities in Italy despite recession in Italy as a result of migrants and immigrants who boost their economy, provide cheap labor and also tax boost.

But kids like you don't think.

You think if 70% of Igbos leave Lagos, Lagos will remain promising as it is now Keep on blabbing, only time will teach u hard lesson about life.

You can check from December 26 - January 6 of every year, compare how Lagos usually looks when majority of Igbos have traveled for Xmas to normal time, that should give you some tip.

Remember, Igbos control 95% of markets in Lagos, and most of these markets also rely on imported goods that come from:

China
Japan
America
Europe
South Korea
Thailand
India
Hong Kong
Indonesia

And Igbos as a result of their expedition nature make up 90% or more of people who control imports from the aforementioned countries, so their exit in Lagos will definitely collapse Lagos IGR and economy.

And if u think u can also import, then think again. Igbos over the years have spread their wings all over the world while u tribal urchins and local champions are busy mocking them for abandoning their villages to be traveling around the world, but yes their traveling around the world has made them pillars of world trade.

Igbos have made doing business easy and lucrative for all Nigerians. Look at Mini Importation business in Nigeria and Africa today, if not for Igbos who against all odds many years ago relocated massively to China, tell me how many Africans could have afforded to ship goods from China to Africa through DHL, Fedex, etc

Igbos made it easy for young Nigerians to start mini importation business with small capital and the reason many youths in Nigeria don't feel the impact of Buhari's poor governance that brought mass unemployment of Nigerian youths.

Yet you useless tribalists don't appreciate the great works Igbos are doing in your lives, fools!


So think before you talk, its not about internet war of words, Igbos have become indomitable, sadly

DesChyko:
At this juncture, you people need to stop abusing that word 'host'.
Igbos and Yorubas have different ideologies on how things should be run and this stretches back to how their internal politics are run in their localities.

But trying to use the word 'host' as though to silence the views of the people, especially in areas where they constitute majority is downright pathetic.

How do you explain this 'host' terminology? What privilege are given to Igbos by the so-called 'hosts' that cannot be gotten elsewhere? Specifically, what privilege is granted to 'immigrants' to Lagos, new and old that qualifies the Yorubas as hosts? Free food? Free accomodation? Free health care? Free business start-ups?

Igbos did not come out to vote again after what happened during the presidential election

I thought Judas Iscariot descendant said they will import Thugs and louts from the east to come and fight for them

nnamdijonathan:
my brother u have to understand that Igbo is an SI unit in Yoruba land. Anything that happens in their land or even their bedrooms, they must bring Igbo into it to access the level or progress they have made. If not for foolishness, how would a useless Yoruba man think that Ndigbo give a Bleep about their elections in the SW except Lagos? Allow them to rant, I'm enjoying it.

dyydxx1:
so why are you here if you so much detest this place? why can't the almighty intelligence of the ibos be used to turn the 6 south east states to paradise? must you emigrate here?

DesChyko:
'if you so much detest this place'...

Which part of my post gave you this idea pray tell?

I guess you rank close to the opposite end of 'almighty intelligence' if that's what you could cook up from what I posted

APC will win Lagos. I don't think our Igbo brothers and sisters should be persecuted and most igbos I know in Lagos also see themselves as Lagosians too as other tribes who have spent most of their life here . Lagos is cosmopolitan and every tribe plays their part to make Lagos great not just we yorubas. We need igbos same way we need every tribe . However what I cannot accept is when people call Lagos a no man's land. That's totally wrong .

Amazing how some keep calling Lagos a no man's land .
The thing is my mum is from Lagos. Lagos Island to be precise. She can trace four generations back to her family house in Lagos Island. The history of Lagos from the period of the aworis showed that yorubas dominated the landscape prior to the Oba of Benin expedition. Every Oba of Lagos has been yoruba. Historically, yorubas have been the dominant tribe in Lagos even before Nigeria became a nation

Saying that Lagos is a melting point for everyone is acceptable. After all it is the commercial capital of Nigeria and so many tribes have lived their entire life here which is why its a melting point. London is another classic example as the curent Mayor of London is of Pakistani Origin but also sees himself as a Londoner. Look at the way Nigerians are moving to Canada for better opportunities in droves. Canada is also becoming a melting point.

I cant imagine the Mayor of London now saying simply because he is of pakistani origin, London is now a no mans land. Or, the millions of Nigerians and Africans who have left for Canada should now turn back and say that Canada is a no mans land simply because maybe one Nkechi Adebunmi should become Prime Minister of Canada in future.

The thing is when people say Lagos is a no mans land, they actually attempt to diminish the cultural ties that generations have had in Lagos prior to migration. Based on almost every known record, yorubas were the orignial settlers in Lagos. If I now move to Enugu or Kano and i am popular in my community there and i speak the language and i win a seat in the house of reps there and get a street named after me , can i then also turn arround and say Enugu or Kano is no mans Land ?

Lagos is a melting point. You can say you are also a Lagosian. It can be our lagos together if you want but to say its a no mans land in the context people say is offensive/insensitive to say the least.
