How Yorubas Made Lagos Former Capital To 7th Largest Economy In Africa by Osaze007: 1:00am On Dec 30, 2019
Bola Ahmed Tinubu has done an amazing job of creating investment friendly environment and working on key infrastructure to build Lagos into the envy of alll

Through the industrious nature of Yorubas and their dominance in Banking, It, media , Education, import and export , and home of foreign investment

Ogun state is now the economic hub of Nigeria
It houses the most universities, churches and manufacturing hub

Good job Yorubas
You focus on your self and don’t hold everyone else

Today Lagos Ogun and Oyo lead in Education, IT penetration and GDP growth

To those that will call him “afonga muslim”
Your only bitter and jealous of him

Even the lives of these Igbos who badmouth Yorubas at every chance depend on our wealth of resources. This is not tribalism but try tell an Igbo man who has migrated to the West after two years to move back to the east, no he can't because his life has changed for good. It's just a matter of time before the gold mining in Osun State turns it into a big deal.

Do you own the largest organizations in Lagos ?
Do your people control the multinationals in Lagos ?
Do your people control the music and entertainment of Lagos ?
Do your people dominate the service and medium business in Lagos
No
So you don’t control or develop it

Thank you jare Op. Yorubaland will always be in your favour. Whatever you dream of shall you achieve anywhere in Yorubaland with ease.


We are all praying Akeredolu will wake up already too. Ehn, ondo state still produce 40% of the entire cocoa in Nigeria with oil, Osun too is there with Gold, hoping Oyetola too will focus and stop going up and down instead.

It can only get better.

a typical ibo man would rather die in Yorubaland and have his remains transported back to iboland than watch himself leave blessed Yorubaland for iboland. Kolewerk. Let them keep badmouthing. The shame is on them. Someone like gandollars placenta was buried somewhere in Yorubaland, she will even use our own language to badmouth us. Na them go tire last last.

The result is what you have up there.

Lagos was a former capital developed on the spines of every Nigerian and with the blood of Nigeria Deltans. Not to talk of economic contributions from foreign investments.

With population explosion and economic boom, it expectedly had a spill over effect on neighbouring Ogun and Oyo states.

Nobody can change the narrative of Lagos. No one peoples can say they single-handedly made Lagos.

The owners of the land made their contributions by creating an enabling environment for activities to thrive and they have massively raked in zillions in naira through IGR because of it.

If not for inherent corruption in the blood of the black man, Lagos with it's IGR over decades, could have been an eldorado.

The making of strong men in place of strong institutions is the bane of the Nigerian society.

What's your fixation on Igbos?

Are they the only people in Lagos?

If you are sincere to yourself you'd agree that Igbo investments in SW would be the highest earner of IGR amongst all. Even your leaders have acknowledged this. Even upnorth, Igbos enterprising spirit is celebrated.

People migrate to where there interests are served. If you are an importer, there's no way you won't have a thing or two to do with Lagos.

Those who buy and sell articles of clothing for instance must have a thing or two to do with Aba and Onitsha. There are lots of Yorubas who travel to Aba and Onitsha frequently for business. Some are resident there.

FG did not leave with all what it brought to Lagos for Abuja. The remnant has been built upon and collectively expanded.

@the bolded, did you get your statistics from the IPOB bureau of statistics or directly from the mouth of the runaway albino porn producer? Rubbish.

Most of you don’t know jack. The remnants of the structure the FG built in Lagos is not what is giving Lagos it’s wealth. It is the enterprising nature of the Yorubas and ability to attract foreign investment and a well managed system of governance by the leaders of Lagos.

Check the multinationals in Lagos and what they contribute to the IGR, check the Nigerian banking, insurance, telecommunications, industries, entertainments etc. and their contributions to the IGR. Then you will know you are a compound fool for saying the Igbos are the highest generator of IGR for Lagos.

Dangote refinery also coming on board to add to the tax base of Lagos and attract more investment as the ripple effect of the refinery.

How can some fools believe they actually made another people when their own region is not even at par to those they built. Just like saying because there are lot of Indians in Silicon Valley working for top IT companies and chinese building food chain makes them the developer of USA.

Let me educate you a bit. The FCT was removed from Lagos in 1991, attached is the growth of Lagos. Can you see the growth?

Igbo running down to Yoruba to do business is not to favour anyone rather for them to make profits. Yoruba land has provided an enabling environment for business to strive that why you all are setting up businesses here, your tax has little or no effect on Yoruba land rather your presence here is affecting Y infrastructure due to pressure of high migration. The businesses you set up employs little or no Yoruba citizens because they are usually small scale businesses which are usually buying and selling of all kinds of products such as spare parts, second hand clothing (Okrika) etc. So the migration of Igbos into Yorubaland favours only Igbos and the most annoying part of Igbos migration into Yorubaland is that they commits and are involve in all manner of crimes and criminal activities.
Finally to put a stop in your propaganda, there is nothing serious the Federal government did in Lagos Yorubaland rather most of the Development and infrastructure that the Yoruba government put in place from the taxes generated in all Yoruba land and old western region was taken over by the then Military government and now are controlled by the Federal government example the port was build by the colonial to steal then Awolowo refurbished it with the tax from western region, it was taken over by the Muritala government, the Lagos airport was first built during the WW2 and was reconstructed 1979, with taxes from majorly from western region and the name was credited to Muritala cos he was the head of state, the Nigerian Television Authority( NTA) came about and was built by pa Awolowo, Anthony Enaworo etc in 1959 under the name Western Nigerian Government Broadcasting Corporation (WNTV)) but was taken over by the Federal government in 1977. You and I know very well that almost all what the federal government of Nigeria is in charge of not only in Yorubaland but Nigeria as a whole is a total mess, the Airports are shithole, the federal roads are death trap, federal schools are total failures, going to a federal government hospitals is a suicide mission. So you much be out of your mind to start bragging about what Federal government has put in place in another man's land. Yoruba built and are still building Lagos, Ogun, Oyo, Osun, Ondo and Etiki, we are also still trying our best to extend our hand to Kwara and Kogi where we have Yorubas.
