In my business premise, it was just four shops, our landlady she's Yoruba , I noticed one of my neighbors vacated from his shop, it was remaining three of us one norther and a Ghanian both are fashion designers , I approached my landlady and told her that I'm interested to rent the shop, she said no, that she can't give her two shops to Omo-Igbo, I was like ![]() ![]() ![]() Before then I've been reading developments in Enugu and Anambra state threads I had no option than to think east, Pics below how empty my business was in Ajah 6 Likes

I didn't even stay up to 8months in my Ajah shop I had to relocate after the incident, I was scared of those criminals attacking me, I traveled to Onitsha, Nnewi, Awka and Enugu, I limited my choice to Awka, I saw a good location paid for it went back to Lagos to plan how to relocate, I had to move my furniture and fittings and other equipments to ABC haulage Pics of few of my business items when received them 6 Likes

What a hard experience my but thank God u finally stood after going through all these. But i will still point this out that yoruba people are too segregating... yes they discriminate a lot. And thats vry bad. I hav had some experiences where a yoruba man will prefar to tell a blatant lie just to take sides with his fellow yoruba man.. its a pity. There was a time i went for job interview they people inteviewing us coulndt hide their bias callin all yorubas in a seperate room to advice them or somethin.... later iheard that most of d yorubas got d job. Even one dat didnt study anythin related to what we came for. Yet some fools will tell me we are ONE NIGERIA one nigeria my foot. Its either biafra or niger delta republic. ONLY PATIENCE AND TIME WILL TELL 34 Likes 2 Shares |

Asaba, Enugwu, Aba, Abakaleke, Owerre, Obigbo etc are some cool Igbo cities one can migrate to if you're planning to return East. There's nothing like one Nigeria... Only a fool deceives himself with such a lazy concept ![]() 47 Likes 5 Shares |

Lagos is too congested anyway. It is good you are thinking home. Hopefully more people will follow suit. Unfortunately up until this morning, hundreds of buses are still dropping people all over south west and returning back to the east almost empty, to bring in more people the following day. That is the truth except somebody wants to tell lies or deceive him or herself. 16 Likes 1 Share |
