70% of all the shipped cargoes that arrive at the Lagos ports, head straight to Onitsha.

That alone is a tell-tale sign of the hugeness of the Onitsha market.

While all the factories, markets, projects and population (purchasing power) in Lagos, Ogun and the rest of the country share the remaining 30% abi? Are you not embarrassed with the quality of this lie

WikeTheDrunk:
Scam government propagandists. Firms that are owned by private individuals. Which one is the government of the drug criminal, Tinubu building?

Those firms that are shutting down/packing up that you people are rejoicing about (as habitual bad news lovers/cariers) are they owned by govt? Are they not privately owned firms? Born wailers!

Sarcastic101:
Lagos which was once known as Eko ceased from being a Yoruba land in 1861.
The name Lagos was given to the land by the Portuguese in the 15th century and it means lakes,or lagoons the name seemed fit for the place because Lagos is surrounded by water.

When the British came to Lagos in the 1800s there was some problems in the land one of which was that the ruler then,Oba Oluwole had died and his vacant throne was battled for by two powerful men,akintoye and kosoko.

Akintoye won this battle and became the Oba of Lagos but after a short time he was overthrowned by Kosoko, akintoye went into exile in badagry where he met British missionaries who were new in the land,he told them his story and pleaded for assistance from them so they called on the British consul,Beecroft to help akintoye with the British military to take back his throne.

Beecroft invaded Lagos with the British navy and subdued the land forcing Oba Kosoko to run away into exile, stating reasons that the Lagos King was still participating in the abolished slave trade.

When they defeated Oba Kosoko, they reinstalled Akintoye as the new Oba and signed a treaty with him to allow them (the British) to be free and protected in the land as they went about their buisness.

Oba Akintoye unlike Oba Kosoko was weak and agreeable to the British and this made them so powerful in Lagos.

In 1853,Oba Akintoye died and the British installed his son Dosunmu as the new Oba.

Oba Dosunmu was as weak as his father Akintoye and wasn't able to completely stop slave trade among the people and so many problems erupted in the land which he couldn't control,the British realized that he was too weak and when they Heard that the french had made contact with the Oba of Lagos they decided to take over Lagos out of fear of the french.

Then,they made Oba Dosunmu to sign a treaty that Britain now owned Lagos and the British crown be recognized as the supreme one in Lagos displacing the Obas crown.

Dosunmu signed the treaty in 1861 and from then onwards Lagos became a colony of Britain and ceased to be Yoruba land but a British land.

Before the British left in 1960, so many Nigerians had migrated to Lagos from other states that Yoruba couldn't even be understood by all lagosians anymore.

There were too many Igbos, Hausa,and calabars living in Lagos and doing buisness freely that the Yorubas lost dominance over Lagos and the issue has worsened for them since then till this day.

A walk in any street of Lagos today lets you know that it's now a multicultural state and not more a Yoruba land anymore.

They've lost so much power and are still losing power over the land that all have realized that they can't regain the land anymore and that is why we call it no man's land today.

Because no tribe owns it anymore.

When you have an inordinate craving for another man's property, it always leads you into bipolar disorder like this

She is British jare. No mind our people.

She's Yoruba British

Diligence:
Lagos State is Lagos Colony. At best, it's a product of multi-ethnic...cultural, social & even national society as former Federal Capital Territory.

Trying to relegate such Status to a Yoruba State is mischievous, primitive & counterproductive; it doesn't help its status at all.

Even the North HV not tried to even suggest Abuja as a Northern enclave.

Allow Lagos State to evolve into a systematic global Status with efficient infrastructure & systems like Dubai, etc (HV U ever seen the Arabs (with regard to Dubai) with loud speakers forcing everything & anything Arab down the throats of the world?)! Stop dragging it down & back with Yorubaness; it doesn't help at all. Is there no reason why it's called Lagos and not Ogbomosho State.

Perhaps, we could suggest to dem dem to consider & change the name from Lagos State to ... Stupid & primitive thinkers! The real Lagos Indigenes don't appreciate what these "encroachers & invaders" from neighbouring SW States are doing to Lagos State. They abandoned South West States & are looting Lagos State to death! Recall, how these invaders go declare Oro on an (gubernatorial) election day!

Caution: The above except is for reasonable thinkers & not for stupid folks!

You're drunk!
Lagos has always been a Yoruba sprawling community for centuries, even when your forebears were still living in da 'caves' in your enclave.

Very overrated set of humans
From afar off, you'll think they're some educated and elite bunch but when you get close to them, you will see them for what they're

Did they send for you to come close to them? Them no kuku come your land, na you carry your Ghana-must-go bag, pack yourself enter night lorry to come join them for their land o. If you're tired of staying with them, go back to your village in peace.

RedpillAnalyst:
How much is the contract ?

This is a very bad idea and dead on arrival. This is just another way to loot people's money.

A lot of people already understand English on basic level and even conversing or speaking. Yoruba is very hard for to read and write for Yoruba pikin. Most market women and agberos do well with English or pseudo English called pigdin.

Whether you understand English, French, German and Swahilli is inconsequential, Yoruba language is a must in Lagos. Using billions to preserve our Yoruba language and culture is not our problem.
Remember if your children must school in Lagos, Yoruba language is compulsory for them.

omoredia:
Free AI app on Google playstore is what these criminals will say they have purchased for billions. They can only deceive their fellow fooIs

You should be more concerned about the borrowed billions your governor is using to dig gutters and show you Julius Berger's signboards in your region 😉 after all, you're celebrating this and clapping for your governor

001Lagos:
Lagos state is for true sons and daughters of Lagos . So if you're from Osun, Ogun, Ondo, Oyo and Ekiti , know that Lagos is not your state of origin so stop attaching to Lagos by force .

You're still proud of your primitive osu caste culture in this 21st century Sorry, we don't do that in SW, we Yoruba are civil.

001Lagos:
Energetic incoming president of Nigeria insha Allah

Come 2092 laugh

Some people don't even know the meaning of livestock. All they is cow 🐄 .
Livestock involves cattle, goats, sheep, pigs, chicken, fish etc rearing and the integrated value chain.
If this is properly managed, with adoption of modernity and tech, it will resolve the persistent herders-farmers clashes.

If dem no wail, weitin dem gain? Dem be born wailers.

Trust me Awolowo would have been no different from tinubu

Maybe the economic index might have been better but he is same as tinubu they have same mindset

In fact Awolowo is worse... He is the originator of this infrastructure virus socialist virus that have suffocated Nigeria

Awolowo might be less corrupt than tinubu but he is no different

Awolowo is a believer of feel good projects
The useless cocoahouse is prime example
A project to brag about but has zero economic benefits

Cocoa house till take has generated enough money to break even

Unfortunately for for you, more than 60yrs after Cocoa House was built in Ibadan, there is no single building that is as tall as half of CH in your entire godforsakenRegion. You must all run to SW to have a view of Skyscrapers.

Wike should leave rivers alone his tenure is over

When last did you see Wike in PHC or anywhere near Rivers State?
Somebody is causing problems for himself in Rivers and you're shouting the name of someone about 700km far away

Bayero is yoruba but GRV is not, this people really love their slave masters

But you people are the all the time slaves now. From yesterday till today and tomorrow.

We know your antics tactics well well. All the characters behind those so called northern and western names are full blood flat headed yigb0s.

The two men expressed shock seeing the speech of a self acclaimed first class graduate of accounting

When you're being afflicted by inexplicable bitterness of the heart........you need an urgent rehabilitation

I will be the happiest human if he eventually agrees to step aside

Unfortunately for you, he has just been reelected as ECOWAS chairman as a precursor to his re-election as Nigeria's president in 2027.

Tinubu is a disgrace in Nigeria and abroad , ecowas quickly notice it and the send the buffoon to Irabiji that's how we will send him packing come 2027

Wailer, check the latest news and update yourself and stop disgracing yourself because of hatred.

001Lagos:
The hardship will never get to my place . It will stop at your doorstep

Na una dey vote rubbish leaders because of tribalism na still una dey kill yourselves when situation goes south

Women in you villages are selling their own children in order to feed already.

It's time to retire the rag-head Ayatollah and his rogue disciples. Also cut every tie with terrorists (hamas, hezbollah, houthis etc) sharperly.

EponOjuku:
It will work bro. You can't sit in Nigeria and be saying it won't work. Do you even have an idea of what Iran looked like before the Iranian revolution?
Hope you know Iranians aren't Arabs, they're Persians. Difference dey.

Just like in old Lebanon, Iranians were very pleasant people with lovely social life until the terrorists breeding rogue Ayatollahs seized the power

Not that I'm hating ooh but

Buying hillux as a police car makes little sense to me especially now we are broke as a nation

Toyota Sienna is cheaper.. One hillux can get u 3 to 4 2014 Toyota Sienna

So that's 150 to 200 operational cars for police

We really need to make good use of our money this period

You can as well advise your home state governor to buy tricycles or keke Raleigh for the police and other security bodies as their official /operational vehicles.

Yaribanzaonic:
Ikwerre matter... Confirmed by the OBA of Benin.

Yoruba Analysis... based on tribal hate and generational foolishness is on display on this thread.

Same Yoruba don't have an OBA in ILORIN..

These people sef... Na wa..

Your inordinate obsession with Yoruba matters has given you full blown bipol@r disorder.

Tjra:
AlaafinOfIbo

I don't understand you people.

The Ikwerres don't want to have anything to do with you.

Why not leave them alone? What is this obsession for?

It's so obvious the obsession is all about the Petro dollar. Land grabbers

That's to show they (igbos) have ulterior motives. Their obsession with anything SS is out of this world.

shortgun:
Are you still unaware that propaganda has long been a weapon in warfare?
During the civil war, there were numerous accounts of federal troops disguising themselves in Biafran colors to commit heinous crimes against communities loyal to the Biafran struggle, aiming to sow discord and mistrust in those communities. This was a deliberate strategy used in the Biafran war.

Probably you think you're talking to a set fools. Are you trying to rewrite history all in the name of looking for who to forcefully convert to your kinsmen?

shortgun:
What about skull mining and ritual killing business?

That's the main business of otokoto and okija "markets" in alaigbo

LadyExcellency:
Imagine forming the Igbo political party in Lagos State. All hail will be let loose.

Start forming it in Kano first. Shebi na you get Sabongida.

Orlu13:
Yoruba ppl are natural tribalist...they even exported their tribalism abroad


I'm sure if it's an Igbo man now dat did Igbo party, they will say he is IPOB

But you people will soon copy this idea now. That's the way you igbos are wired, always competing with Yoruba.
