MEILYN:
This is a lovely thread, I must say I have learned a lot. I enjoyed reading from the beginning to the end.

I am an Igala boy from Olamaboro LGA of Kogi State. My surname is Idoko, I got curious when I saw Igbos bearing my surname, so I decided to do a research for myself.

Trust me, I relate well with Igbos. I have lived in Lagos all my life and I still don't have a youruba friend. I love Igbo food and people mistake me for an Igbo guy every time. Nobody needs to tell me that there's a connection between the Igalas and Igbos

Chisos!

Brooklynsouth:
pls emir not oba thank you

Who cares! he is an Oba to me and other Yorubas.
Emir is a religious title.

ODVanguard:
You mean this?

Yup.
They have literally taken over all the brothels in the West and North.
Even all the way to Benin Republic and togo.

Newmanluckyman:
...mr hypocritical Obasanjo. The same Lagos he starved of funds during his tenure? The same Lagos under his watch some hardcore elements from the north conspired to take away the capital to Abuja? The same Lagos he was mute on when IBB was foot dragging on building the 3rd mainland bridge until well meaning Nigerians speak in unison in favour of the bridge. Or is it the same OBJ that never condems the northerners for once in Lagos especially when the went on rampage maiming and killing innocent people?

Mr OBJ, we know who you are. First of all, learn how to accept blames and responsibility for your actions and inactions then we can take your word serious as regards to Lagos State.

Well said bro!

...... Let me park my Venza here.

Lagos is already Africa's third largest economy, Mr Obasanjo.

And you play 0 role in that. We know those who really helped develop Lagos and bring it to the status it currently enjoys today. You aren't one of them.

....

GuyWise:
Finally the yorubas have taken their madness to another level But the fool failed to understand that kwara state is in the hands of hausa fulani.

Flattiess are always talking obtusely with no correlation to topic.

This man is talking about how 99% of Igbo girls are now part time Oloshos, you are talking of the ethnicity of the oba in Ilorin town.

Sense fall on you.

Wtf haha.... maybe Nnamdi Kanu was right in his previous assessment of Igbo females.

As from today, their official names are I-PORK PIGS and I-PORK PIGLETS.

Gbamm!

Lmaooooooo

Direct copy of American culture. These stuff do not Apply to Africans BRO!

ProWalker:
The truth is that 95% of Igbos are in the informal sector of the economy in Lagos and Nigeria in general, and we all know how hard it is to collect any form of statutory taxes from the informal sector of the Nigerian economy.
But that is a fact that always flies over their heads.

Exactly.

laudate:
Mitch Elegbe is Edo.

Yes, but is he the only one on the list?

See the way these ones, almost 15 of them above me sit down dey analyse Yoruba matter...

MasterChen:
Why do these "am I Yoruba by the way" clowns enjoy disgracing their ancestors? They're always on threads where Yorubas are bashing those miscreants. You'll never see them discussing Yoruba progress, you'll never see them on threads where those miscreants are posting afonja, brown roof nonsense all over the place.

And why is that some Yorubas never respond to idiotic posts on FP threads especially on the first page. I think some people have no idea the number of people that visit this forum. Okay let's even say you don't want to be a tribalist. What about posts that are in accurate especially when it relates to Yoruba. You see clowns throwing figures all over the place. No one would respond until 3rd page. Wtfook!

If some names aren't online, it becomes a birthday party for potor miscreants

Omo, e weak me oh

IKR!!
Like seriously, where do they crawl out from?


Hhahaa, make no mistake they are always online and see all the other threads of Yoruba bashing but keep mute like awon eni ti won ti fi ori won gba paro!

After typing, they will be like "Oh, and by the way, I am Yoruba omo Oduduwa" Haha so typical.

Nigerians and their abuse of the English Language to massage their Egos...lol
where is the "Mega" and "Ultra-Modern" here abeg?

Lakeside79:
Oga 98% of that IGR is generated by the people you call Igbos from shop collections, trading permits , licenses , import duties and such

Tomorrow when they abuse us you will say they are full of hate ?

Oya see your comments

My people and hypocrisy

Smh

LIES..... Majority of IGR comes from people working traceable Jobs like Gov't employees, ad local SMEs
And from the nigerian chamber of commerce and Industry, the SW has by far the largest number of small and medium sized enterprises in the country.

Who told you things like Import duties are part of IGR? When did Nigerian Port Authority become a state owned parastatal?

LOOL!

Sun re o, mama!

ELKHALIFAISIS:
one word for u below

Mumu, My grandpa has this apartment complex in Surulere which he rents out. The place is filled with squalid igbos from the east who live like rats, 20 in a room.
They no even let the old man renovate the place because there would be nowhere for them to stay in that time period.
And they don't even pay rent! And it is that same set of people that will come online to make noise.

Igbos, Go back to Enugu and Anambara.

#Operation Flattiess don't belong in the west.

good luck handling that.

sunnyb0b0:
Last time I checked, there's VAT on those items you mentioned but non on "matching ground money", owo foundation, owo roofing, owo loading and offloading.

In your dreams.
Take it or leave it, Yorubas control the critical economy of lagos. Using Agberos as a representation of us won't develop IsiAlangwa or do you any good.

gare:
Open up the seaports in Rivers, Delta, Cross River state and see if the VAT will not increase, the Lagos we see is because of the see ports and the airport, there's nothing special about Lagos, all the. Coastal states had same value both they neglected them and focused only on Lagos, but if the Govt should open up all the ports in the Niger Delta, you would experience a lot of growth.

You Flattiess keep using this same line thinking everyone on NL are stupid and ignorant enough to keep swallowing your lies and propaganda.

These are pictures from the port at PH/Onne. There is nothing stopping Igbos from using it if they wanted to. The success of Lagos and the West is much more deeper than having just a seaport. What many of you don't even know is that the port in Lagos is MUCH SMALLER than what Nigeria actually needs, and less than half of foreign products in the country come through Lagos. Most come from the Cotonou, Lome and Tema ports in Benin, Togo and Ghana, YET Lagos is thriving just fine.

Use PH/Onne port Ndigbo. It is working and functioning just fine. No be by force to come Ragos!
Yorubas have told you to go, una no dey hear word. Lool

Those who are using this port in Onne are using it very fine! Dangote even uses it part time.
Go and develop your Villages and stop shouting Shuku Okuko Alabiabia and "Afonjas are holding us down" Up and down the dusty streets of Nnewi.

IGR my left nyash, there more beggars in Oyo State alone than the entire Eastern Region. How many people in Oyo and Ogun State can boast of disposable income and be able to repaint their mud houses even if they ignore their decayed dirty and diarrhea infested roofs.

Who IGR Epp, when the people boasting about it queue up to receive food aid from the government?

Abeg Mechionu. Gbenu buruku e da soun.
Oyo and Ogun states are the second or third largest non oil GDP in Nigeria after Lagos. It is between one of both, we still arent sure because Oyo used t be number 2, but Ogun has risen profoundly of recent.
What do you mean how many people in Oyo or Ogun can boast of a disposable income, Lmao. The SW remains farrr richer than your SE region no matter how you want to dice it, be it Bulk GDP, Disposable income, Number of Rich people, State generated incomes, Multidimensional poverty, etc. Data has shown that the SE consistently remains the poorest region in the South of Nigeria as provided by several Global and National indices over years..

sunnyb0b0:
And the 50% collected in Lagos us generated from Omo oniles and agberos?

It definitely wasn't generated by Gala, FanYogo and Lacasera hawkers in Lagos traffic.
Evans the only one Ibo "businessman" that was actually paying some tax in Lagos, turned out to be Just another Notorious IPOB Criminal.

Who takes the words of madam incompetece serious?, except those scratched face, ewedu gulping Idp camp dwellers @ OSHOGBO........ Madam 18 plus 4=24....lol......By the way, when is she starting to task those beggers, littering the landcape of Ile Ife, oOshogbo,& Ibadan?

If you don't like the facts from her, hanging yourself or banishing yourself into Ezu Evil forest still remains a viable option.

I am still trying very hard to use my Super microscope to see what the South East contributes to the Commonwealth of Nigeria's economy even if it is chewing gum... I am yet to see anything yet except fake products and hazardous materials. And even those aren't going to the national coffers, but are meant to be objects sold for personal profits.

Shiooooooor.

Oga080666419419:
do you think it was generated with lazy yoouths crowding all betting centers in Oyo and Ogun States.

Lagos is a no man's land.

And Yet, the same Ogun and Oyo states both generate more IGR Real Organic state Revenue than all the states in the South East put together..

Hhahaha the only thing Igbos have is MOUTH and constant online Rambling.
Awon Online warriors. Unfortunately for you lot, no be shouting and cursing on NL and Facebook dey generate money.

Nnamdi kanu will continue to hold rallies upon rallies upon his followers will get tired of the whole charade and come back to their senses

And Nairaland will keep bringing every single one of them to frontpage for whatever reason.
