Lagos is a NO MAN'S LAND with industries owned by FG,Foreigners and Nigerians.how many indigenous Yoruba firms are in Ogun and Lagos.The Southeast rose from the ashes of war to become the number region with the highest concentration of indigenous industries and firms .from fighter jet parts to cars,buses ,heavy duty trucks ,military trucks and ware etc.

it is a great feat that a region that started afresh in 1970 is no march to others in terms of local content without outside help.

Yinmu. If it makes you sleep better at night you are free to believe that even Capetown SA is a no man's land for all i care, but any sane person knows who owns and controls what.


While you're at it, please list those Igbo-owned Industries in Lagos and the SW you keep bragging about that can come close to Yorubas' in the region.

I guess to your sick mind the following SW based industries are Igbo-owned: Honeywell Flour Mills, GZI Industries, ProForce, Elizade, Bi-Courtney, Eleganza Group, Folawiyo Group, Petro Inett, Modandola Group, Manucom Fishing, Aiico Insurance, the Yoruba-owned banks, Insurance Companies, e.t.c. Even SME's (interestingly, after Lagos state, Oyo has the highest number of SME's in the country, higher than any SE state) we are comfortably in the lead. You know what SME's stand for right? And how many individuals you must employ to qualify as one?) all located in Yorubaland. I am waiting for those Igbo Big Businesses in Lagos and the SW (not 'pure water' ones o) that are more than Yoruba owned ones, and that give you all the ballz to brag.

http://nigerianstat.gov.ng/pdfuploads/SMEDAN%202013_Selected%20Tables.pdf


Also kindly List the number of Insurance companies players that are Igbo-owned dominating Yorubaland or Nigeria in general.

How many Igbo-owned investments comes close to LADOL in Lagos?

List the Banks that Igbos dominate that are more than the Yoruba-dominated/controlled Skye Bank, First Bank, Sterling Bank, GTBank, FCMB, e.t.c.

List the Telecoms Company that are Igbo-owned/dominated like Yoruba-owned/controlled Globacom and NTel

List the I.T businesses that are Igbo dominated that can stand the likes of Spectranet, CCHub, MainOne

Which Igbo-owned businesses can match the dominance of Yoruba-controlled Oando, ConOil, and Forte Oil?

Chicken Republic, TFC, Tantalizers, Sweet Sensation, Mega Chicken are owned and controlled by Yorubas.

The only Transport segment Igbos dominate is that of buses that convey their kinsmen between YOrubaland and the SE. Yorubas control the SW internal routes, e.g. When I take a bus from Lagos to Abeokuta or Ibadan, 9 out of 10 times the owner of the Bus is a Yorubaman and not an Igboman, so get your facts straight.

In a nutshell, Yorubas already dominate the Big Businesses and industries that count, e.g Finance, Oil & Gas, I.T, Telecoms, Insurance, Manufacturing & Industry, e.t.c. It would be unfair of us to dominate everything so we've left them the crumbs like dominating the Super-Eagles, Gala Hawking , spare-parts bizness, Selling DVD/VCD at Alaba, Entertainment (though Yorubas dominate the Music scene, while we comfortably have our indigeneous Film industry on lockdown as well ), transporting your kinsmen to-and-from the SE to Yorubaland, e.t.c. Your people can keep dominating those. But even Commerce/trading sef una don dey dump that one sef for drug-trafficking.

Smh.

OBAFEMIawolowo:
commissioner for economic planning and budget of Lagos state is Igbo.

Please I'm not igbo

Dude why must you lie about your ethnicity?? Everyone here knows you are igbo (including your own kinsmen here), your records are there so i don't get why you lots are so pathetic ans have to act a fooll just to make a point.. And may it not be well with you and your generations if you are denying your ethnicity. Say amen to that prayer if dem born you well.

And you are wrong, commissioner for buget planning in Lagos is a Yoruba man. Akabueze was in that position under Fashola, not Ambode. Always do a fact check befire coming here to embarrass yourself. Google is your friend. Use it and save your self d embarrassment please.

InyinyaAgbaOku:
Don't shift the goal post unless you are trying to say Lagos is the only part of southwest.
Why are your people linked to depressed economies ?
Is the socialism responsible or you lots ain't sound?

What depressed economies?? Nigga stfu. Your brothers obviously don't agree with your foolish talk coz as i speak they are still migrating en masse to Ogun, Oyo, Lagos etc.for economic survival rather than die of starvation or commit suicide in Anambra, Enugu and the likes.
And as per Lagos, Lagos is a SW state in firm control of Yorubas so you can go and hug transformer if you have a problem with that. If the state fails tomorrow your likes will blame it on its Yoruba handlers so we its real owners that have her interest at heart will continue to claim her and work towards her progress. Name one SE state that can boast of the economic importance of Ogun state, another Yoruba/SW state that your vagabond kinsmen are also flocking to. Not one single one. Be it in industries and manufacturing concerns, FDI, GDP, IGR, you name it. I dare you to.

kettle84:
minus Lagos there is no difference between the impoverished northern states and those of the southwest.

Yinmu. Lagos is a SW state in firm control of Yorubas so you can go and hug transformer if you have a problem with that. If the state fails tomorrow your likes will blame it on its Yoruba handlers so make we hear word please. Name one SE state that can boast of the economic importance of as Ogun state, another Yoruba/SW state that your vagabong kinsmen are also flocking to. Not one single one. Be it in industries and manufacturing concerns, FDI, GDP, IGR, you name it. I dare you to.

Well I dont need to rewrite history.
Was there a recession under Ngozi Iweala? NO
Is there currently a recession under Osinbajo, Adeosun, Fashola, Shittu, Fayemi....? YES

What could be the reason? I simply gave an explanation-Socialist Education.

How tribalistic can you people get.

Poppycock. You don shift goal post from Lagos to FG abi? I thought you were going to show us how Akabueze and your phantom igbo technocrats were responsible for the Lagos miracle. How many Igbos technocrats are in Ambode and his purely Yoruba cabinet's admin? And as for NOI, you must think you are talking to to tots coz all knowledgeable folks are aware that even she forecasted a recession since as far back as 2012, and even warned before her handover tgat the country's economy was already in recession and was even borrowing billions of dollars to pay salaries.

9jasite:
I thought I mentioned Ben Akabueze.

Their emigration pattern I believe is due to cultural cum economic tendencies and not due to hardship.

The Igbos are mainly capitalist while South west are more oriented toward socialism. That was all that was stated in the article

You are trying to be clever by half but fooling yourself. Akabueze didn't do anything special. Lagos still used debt financing under his short stint like every other time under others in his position. yorubas have been the primary drivers of the lagos success story. igbo capitalist or whatever have little to insignificant input in the administrative success of Lagos. you can't rewrite history with your half baked and jaundiced nonsense.

9jasite:
Straw man fallacy.....

Weak. Why not refute me by mentioning those SE technocrats that saved lag but can't help se from perpetual emigration.

Lagos is spared due to south East technocrats that have been engaged in the economic planning ministries of the state.

This quote right here exposes the reason why Yorubaland should be wary of these lying and incorrigible braggarts from that corridor. Their supposedly better technocrats have so far failed woefully to stem the tide of mass emigration perpetually afflicting their region and make it the envy of the rest of the country, yet dem still no humble. These parasitic loudmouths still depend on other regions [especially the SW] for economic survival owing to the non-viability of their home region, yet they just can't help themselves when it comes to their signature delusional posturing. I guess Leo Stan was right afterall about his own people.

Even if MMM comes back up, I will still be skeptical of it because the moment the likes of yahoo boys and clever fraudsters figure out how the system works, na to invade am and destroy whatever is left of its integrity. No be Nigeria?

felicitywe:
Thats Yoruba politics for u.Even their folklore is full of of CLASSICAL betrayal&backstabbing all bc of greed.From Awo,to Abiola,Tinubu,Fashola,Feyemi,Amosun,Aregbesola,Mimiko etc.Thank God its been confirmed by one of theirs.

You are correct, just as Zik betrayed/backstabbed Ojukwu during Biafra, Ngige betrayed/backstabbed Chris Uba, Obiano betrayed/backstabbed Peter Obi, and TA Orji betrayed/backstabbed OUK. You are very light my bloder.

Seriously and jokes apart, the erosion menace in Anambra is serious cause for concern. A thread was opened earlier wherein Obiano said half of the entire state could be lost to erosion if something is not done fast:

https://www.nairaland.com/3509894/gov-obiano-calls-fg-declare

Addressing newsmen after the meeting, Governor Obiano who revealed that their discussion centered on the numerous erosion challenges facing state, pointed out that if nothing is done in the coming years, the State would have lost half its size to the environmental problem.

That's some serious stuff right there. The FG should come to the state's aid, sharply. We can't afford to lose half of the state to the menace. Real talk.

T8ksy:
I know it pain you to high heavens but unfortunately there's sweet F.A , you can do about it. Lagos govt is synonymous with yorubas. We run things in Lagos.

Tell 'em!

It wasn't my fault that you disappointed by not showing proof...
Now stop trolling and get a life.

Smh.

[s][/s]

Didn't you like the sanity and genuine picture evidence you are enjoying?

Moreover, Fake news will always keep coming in from that side and everybody has to be watchful with them...
I mean Ibadan expressway newspaper...

It happens that these days our social media outlets are really more efficient and convincing in news report than all these junk Yoruba local media.

Buhari should also extend hands to some people like the guy I quoted BC it seems they are very much food starved...

As I look at these bright kids and see their food flasks(don't mean those in the front that they asked to put away theirs) I already know that kids ain't waiting for fg intervention or their stomach infrastructures...
But thanks all the same to the president and we hope to see something better than this.

You are a fvcking shameless hypocrite. Aren't you the same person who vehemently denied the veracity of the news when it broke yesterday, throwing tantrums and calling that ijebuloaded op names and making a big f.oo.l of yourself?


https://www.nairaland.com/3508795/fg-school-feeding-programme-begins#51756779


Now you don change tone. See your life?? Smh. So pathetic it ain't even funny.

Fake news and propaganda from Lagos/Ibadan expressway in the Southwa.s.te. Obiano would never allow this in the great Anambra state. Those kids must be from Osun.

Yet no one is fulfilled in the South East until they relocate as fast as possible to the west

For every Yoruba man relocating to the east, there are 500 Easterners making the reverse journey

You can lie with everything, you cant lie with human traffic, Human traffic will always follow prosperity and leave red soil, Just like animals will always find where there is abundance and leave the desert

My brother, na poverty dey pursue dem from dat side. But can you really blame them? If I was an igboman in igboland sef I go follow port to the West side -- the Best side. God punish poverty.

Fake news and propaganda from Lagos/Ibadan expressway in the Southwa.s.te. Obiano could never have said that.

Upon All we don dey tok, yu still need evidence ??


Goto Anambra bro.....

Guy, abeg free dem to continue entertaining us. Even when Obiano himself do press release about am, dem still no go gree say na true, in fact dem go ask to see pix of him or his children tasting the food It's like you don't know these folks. Lol.

Gbam! Let me add dis,...

Wot nigerians need is igbo leadership! Nigeria is running around in circles because Nigerians are deliberately stiffling the igboman. Give the igboman nigeria and in 5years,nigeria will compete with singapore and malaysia,...give him like 15years like has been given 2 the yoruba nation and nigeria will compete favorably with countries like france and canada,..well den give dem like 50years dat has been given to the north and watch nigeria sit pretty with countries like usa and china!


But for the time being,..







Igwebuike

Yeah, and yet since independence no single SE state is even mentioned among the top 5 economic contributors in Nigeria alone, not to talk of Africa. Doesn't charity begin at home again?? I think what you meant to say is that Nigeria will become the drug-trafficking capital of the world within 5 years. Sometimes I wonder the kind of egbo some of you smoke before typing. lol

maywes:
Present evidence (anti party activities), and if he's guilty let him be punished. Not just baseless talk just too ridicule JAGABAN !!!

Yeah, the same way Saraki has been punished for 'anti-party activities'. What a bunch of jokers.

Rilwayne001:
Buhari like Jonathan is an ineffectual buffoon.

Babanla scammer ni Buhari. APC = 'Born Again' PDP.

Yyeske:
Lies, every Yoruba man claims Lagos because that's the only place they feel proud of. I was born and bred in Lagos, attended Unilorin, been to all states in the SW and can confidently tell you only Lagos and areas bordering Lagos in Ogun state can stand the SE.

O.k. But that still doesn't make Anambra the 'Economic Heartbeat of Nigeria' now, does it?

Yyeske:
Where did you visit in onitsha precisely? Did you calculate its gdp? How long did you stay to measure the economic activity going on?

Guy, the onus is on you to verifiably calculate the state's GDP data to prove your point, since you reject whatever's already out there. Until then, your argument will remain in the realm of speculation and personal opinion -- and everyone's got an opinion.

Call07034780891:
@Rockhard, are you also from Lagos?

Yes, from Lagos Island. My compound dey Isale Eko. Why the question?

Yyeske:
Have you ever visited?

Sincerely, I've only been to Onitsha, and that was a few years back. But I don't need to visit every state in Nigeria to measure their impact. In the SE Anambra may be pre-eminent in terms of industry, but there's no point in ridiculing her strides via needless overhypes and false propaganda.

Yyeske:
Olodo, can you calculate gdp yourself? Does Nigeria have any credible stats and to start with, do we even know our real population by states? You think i can't go to Wikipedia and edit that the gdp of Anambra is the highest, anybody can do that. Have you ever been to Anambra sef? Stop pitting Anambra and Imo please, we are brothers.

Former president Abubakar, VP Osinbajo, Ben Bruce and so many others said same thing about Anambra and you are here crying

This isn't about pitting Imo to Anambra. I merely compared the same Anambra with a fellow SE state in terms of available GDP benchmark data. If you dispute that data, which is within your right, get a more reliable one to prove your point. For all the noise you all make about this state, it is barely making a dent on the country's GDP, be it in industry or economically as it's not even a top 10 contributor to the national commonwealth. There should be a limit to hype and propaganda please. Some of your should cultivate the habit of restraint abeg.

Yyeske:
What the heck is this one talking about? Tell us the lies has been promoting so we can clarify things, you guys should just STFU if you have nothing to say

Lol. I actually used to think you had a bit of sense in you until you asked this dumb question. The caption/title of this thread alone is a fallacy. lol. How on God's green earth can any sane person say Anambra is the 'Economic Heartbeat of Nigeria'? The VP certainly couldn't have made such a sweepingly false and misleading statement. Where would that leave higher and more prominent contributors to the Nigerian economy like the Lagos, the Niger-Delta States, e.t.c?? How much is Anambra's GDP contribution compared to even Imo state sef not to talk of other prominent contributors? You see, it's wild and sensational exaggerations like this that make you all the butt of jokes on here, especially that government hireling that initiated this thread. You should sometimes be mindful that some of us are actually intelligent enough not to fall for such foolishness.
