Have you been to Obosi before? If you have been there, you will be ashamed to be Yoruba

Oga080666419419:
AWADA AND NKPOR ARE AS DENSELY POPULATED AS IYANA IPAJA BUT WHAT SEPERATE THEM IS THE STYLE OF BUILDINGS AND STREET PATTERNS.

IN AWADA AND NKPOR YOU RARELY SEE LESS THAN 2 STOREY BUILDINGS, 3 AND 4 STOREY ARE COMMON WHILE 5 ARE NOW BEING ADDED.

AT IYANA IPAJA, TWO STOREY BUILDINGS IS JUST FEW BUT FACE-ME-I-SLAP-YOU BUILDINGS STYLE.

I KNOW GOWON ESTATE BEFORE AYOBO, I KNOW ABESAN,

AGEGE, IYANA IPAJA ETC DOES NOT DEPICT GOOD STANDARD OF LIVING

AnambraDota:
Those places you listed hold less than 15% of Lagos population, Ikoyi, VI, Lekki have more corporations than residents.

Iyana Ipaja and Agege are more populated than the whole places combined.

EternalTruths:
IGR can rise without an increase in CIS.

Blue3k I learnt through a documentary that China intentionally leak foreign technologies to her citizens so that they can increase their personal incomes by manufacturing theirs.

Ngokafor:
Beer-parlour gists,i cant even deal,fter all said and done..Yorubas are the biggest antagonists of dis-integration till tomorrow...Your internet talks means nothing..

bye.

Bede2u:
lagos stopped being a yoruba land when in 1860 it became capital of british west africa. Many yorubas in lagos today are not originally from lag.... including tinubu and ambode

DrGoodman:
Blame Kanu, blame ibos, when will you declare Oduduwa Republic?

I expect you to start another round of yammering instead of answering this question

bigpicture001:
....you talk like a country is a clan...if your wife doesn't know how to cook..if wot biznes is it of your neighbourhood or local govt..wot your saying in essence is that your wife should not be blamed but the local govt. for not forcing women to catering skl wen they are teenagers...du you think lagos is a clan.? come to V.I where I stay an see crowds of expatriate and thier young children,whom the law will now force to learn nd pass a language that dies not concern them...if you want to grow your language..organise seminar for interested persons,grow from family communication, which the yorubas are even doing well at...not force everybody to lern you language...

Klinee:
So long as they reside,do business and pay taxes in Lagos, they have every Constitutionally right to be recognized as integral part of Lagos. And they must also share equivalent right with the so called indigenous.

We are talking about Lagos and your are bringing Abia and Ebonyi into the matter, what concern both States here?

DIDN'T READ DAT TRASH!


NOTHING WILL MAKE MY CHILDREN LEAVE THEIR STUDIES AND START LEARNING A USELESS LANGUAGE LIKE YORUBA.

months:
No member of my family and never will my children go to School to waste their time learning a language that is useless in commerce, science and technology.

I sent them to school to develop themselves and contribute to human development.

How is my Igbo son/daughter learning Yoruba useful?

All this yoruba attempt to convert other tribes to yoruba is doomed to fail.

Go and teach your yoruba children their language, culture and heritage, leave other tribes out of it.

We will not hesitate to drag Lagos state government to court and get that Bill by Lagos State Assembly struck out as unconstitutional.

Just leave our children that are not yoruba out of your tribalistic ethnic domination agenda of other tribes residing the the Commercial capital of our Country Nigeria.

stev120:
Ojukwu prepared to declare a Republic and Awolowo threaten if one side succeed they will do the same even Awolowo meet with Ojukwu and that proved that there is an agreement but my question is if Awolowo declare oduduwa who's interest is it declared. Igbos or yoruba. . i live that question with you. ..

did the Igbos force any body against there choice ...no
when Biafra First inversions took place when they reach Benin banjo the leader of the inversion stopped and declared Benin Republic this is a sign of "igbos are not are not here to invade"
so stop advertising those your stupid life

can the Igbos win election with out the yoruba. ..2015 election proved it
ogun.. apc
Oyo. ..apc
ondo. ..apc
osun. ..apc
kwara.... apc
ekiti. ..pdp(because of fayose )

only the s/s and s/e that vote for Jonathan
with all this yoruba vote for buhari what was the difference. ..2.7 million vote..probably because of rigging
this proved the population of the East. ..

stev120:
is Abiola episode all you got. ...

i qout Abiola:"i will win election with out the Igbos".. go and read your history well. .

.......betrayal. ....
Awolowo did it to Ojukwu. ..1966
yoruba also repeat it during 2015 election.

Bagehot:
My only issue with this list is that you guys excluded Mixta Africa - easily a top 3 in not only Nigeria, but also West Africa.

Obi1kenobi:
They're learners compared to Jide Taiwo and Co and not in the top 50 realtor?. If you're going to assert that and term it "fact", then actually produce the facts. What is their comparative portfolio base or their comparative turnover?


Most of Brickwall's properties are outside Lagos, but they own estates in Ajah and Ikorodu. To be fair, their portfolio doesn't look that large. But a good number of companies I checked from your list doesn't either. Fine and Country's international reach is irrelevant. Udo Okonjo is the Chairman, CEO and co-founder in Nigeria and administers their West African operations and she's fairly prominent in the industry: http://venturesafrica.com/fine-and-countrys-ceo-emerges-most-influential-personality-in-african-real-estate/
If you claim they're "big time learners" like your previous "fact" about Kings Court Realtors, then again, substantiate it. I don't take your word for it. You can easily go to their website and see the massive portfolio they control.

If you were not a tribal bigot, you wouldn't have excluded Elumelu who made the list. It was a pretty deliberate oversight to push your blatant agenda even though your point would have still stood whether you mentioned him or not. 1 Igbo man out of 30 is hardly an impressive figure afterall.

totit:
I guess is a NL thing
Oga no vex. I know you to be free minded and debate intelligently unlike those fellas that pull off figures out of thin air .

Op, eh! You to for add the few or 1 or 2 ibos on the list nah and you will still have your way after all.

Obi1kenobi:
I note the OP deliberately excluded Elumelu, who is listed in the original article. Softly, softly o.

Obi1kenobi:
That is a funny-asss post and well dramatized with the gif.

No need to exaggerate though. If you claim you've never met a "potor" landlord in Lagos, all your life, you're either telling a bare-faced lie or you arrived Lagos yesterday.
And these guys are landlords in Lagos:
https://www.kingscourtrealtors.com/
https://brickwallinvestgroup.org/
http://www.fineandcountryng.com/

The founders, chairmen, and ceos are Igbo (the last one is an international franchise with an Igbo co-founder and CEO of the Nigerian division). I could probably dig out a lot more if I had the time to devote. Their investment portfolios are probably in the top 10, nevermind top 30, and larger than some people listed in the OP which I believe was a deliberate, mischievous attempt at refuting a particular tribe's contributions:
http://nigerianfinder.com/best-real-estate-companies-in-nigeria/
The list has no statistical basis other than obvious names like the Lebanese Chagoury, and names like Alakija, Ovia and Elumelu (who I note the OP deliberately excluded even though he was listed in the original article). Na so una propaganda don reach?

Oh, and my dad, like probably millions of Igbos in Lagos, is a "potor" landlord. You'll see a lot of us here in places like Festac, Amuwo, Okota, Ojo stretching all the way to the Ogun border. And places in the mainland like Surulere. Even if you're an Island boy, you can't seriously be claiming you don't know Igbo landlords in Lekki or Ajah.

DieBuhari:
92.8% of Yoruba traditional rulers are Muslims.
Why?

honourhim:
Because we are traders and we understand that communication is important in business. We want to be able to communicate freely with our Customers no matter the level of their illiteracy.

Cyynthia:
I wish my fellow Yoruba Christians can read the hand writing on the wall.
Honestly I am tired of educating them. If you try to educate them, those Muslims will start crying on my mentions by telling me that Yoruba is Yoruba.

No problem, the clock is ticking so fast.

reality1010:
Foresight of whose founding father?Are u talking to kids in your locality?So the development in Lagos has become the works of the foresight of Yoruba leaders.One day Gbagyi people will tell Nigerians that the development in Abuja is as a result of the foresight of their leaders.

discusant:
I no talk am? Yoruba Muslims cannot accept anything from this Yoruba Summit.

PDP is what Yoruba Muslims call non-Muslim Yorubas.

It's a diversionary tactic by Yoruba Muslims to make Nigeria sustain the extant political structure and constitution crafted and supervised respectively by northern Nigeria through its soldiers.

The political structure and constitution were made to favour predominantly Muslim northern Nigeria.
The aim was to ensure that apex political leadership of Nigeria is largely determined by Fulani-led northern Nigeria, so that they use government instruments to gradually impose Islam upon rest of non-Muslim Nigerians.

DerideGull:
I have read the crap from you mental incoherency and found it very juvenile. If you have any mental faculty talk less of deranged one, you would have realized that MASSOB came to relevancy during Olesegun Obasanjo's regime in 1999. It is a matter of idiocy and outright deceit for certain clowns in Nigeria to insinuate that the movement for actualization of Biafra started with moronic regime of imbecilic fool from Dauara in Katsina State.

Cyjetty:
Yeah, but he was sacked as commissioner for special duties for embezzlement of state funds by the same peter Obi , and this same ojukwu son could not win ordinary state legislature election in his dads backyard and this is not IPOB matter but his own wahala. And by the way, why should someone without a university degree be made Commissioner even if he is ojukwu's son. Is there a different requirement when dishing out appointments where the rich and influential are concerned, or did he lose his degree like PMB ...or maybe he went to Toronto University! Dis country sef!
