Lagos state IGR will suffer because importation will drop and tinubu's agberos won't see enough money to take from trucks carrying imported goods. If u think it's a joke tell tinubu and his stooge sanwo olu to close all markets dominated by Igbos ( Alaba, computer village, oshodi balogun, tejosho etc)! and see if Lagos won't become worst than zamfara in 6 months.

Ibos ppl r clown.........agbero IGR or State, place wey LASG dey find excuse to shut down b4

If lock up shops is what boost IGR na Anambra suppose dey make money pass.......when industries yapa

Islandlady:
Justice indeed!

I thought you guys were happy that it was a Yoruba thug that was killed but it turns out it was an Igbo trader! Now you guys wants Justice?

you sound stupid

Islandlady:
sorry about my cold comment, I stand with the innocent traders not the silly agberos...but I am just angry a specific tribe turned these into an ethnic fight and are claiming victimization!

But they don't know that all tribes were affected in that clash, including the host tribe!

Meanwhile, Agberos should be banned, they are a menace to the society!!!

Which tribe?
Have you made any attempt to find out the cause of the fight?
If an armed criminal who happens to be an Igbo person invades your house and you kill him. Would those that will cheer you up be justifiable villified?

Cryofigbos:



Your foolishness is epic u were celebrating the guy that was killed few days ago thinking is one of d agbero..........keep writing nonsense from pillar to post with ur anti yoruba comments ppl wey better pass ur ppl

Let them return to onitsha and Aba to their other shops coz once that place is opened agbero will come in full force and slaughter them like fowl

The joke is on you, what goes around comes around and it comes in different ways

that has always been the trend in Nigeria anytime a general election is coming but in this case, it is a great pity that it is the Yoruba presidential candidate that will suffer for this.
most Yorubas supporting this think the impact and effects of these actions stays only in Lagos and that is where they are getting it wrong. now even the small votes apc is thinking of getting in the southeast is gradually slipping away.

Zonefree:

When this ethnic war you and your kind always intensify starts, don't run.

If you like, close the market for 2years,
There is no where in Nigeria this isn’t happening, east and south, PH is the worst.
Government too should stop multiple taxation
The Igbos are doing this because of election
Something you do in your region, you can not stop it in your region but want to stop it in Lagos just to cause trouble,
They don’t have sense at all, always showing emotion rather than using logic.

You do endsars, you do Alaba riot, May be you will still do Tinubu riot, we are waiting .
Try riot in kaduna or Kano and see how much you will lose

God bless you my bro! I am a yoruba man and i detest these agbero activities. I paid agbero in Ariara market for goods purchased b4, same at ladipo market to igbo guys Let's rather fight to abolish agbero in the country instead of profiling a particular tribe. Better, the the market committee dialogue can with necessary authorities for a better and easy way of revenue collection.

Lol run You think Yoruba are scare of War?

Yoruba is a warring tribe if not for Education

The longest tribe Civil War is between Yoruba sub tribe-- Kiriji War even a sub tribe( the Owu people were wiped out).

Igbo are all over Yoruba land and if you can't behave yourself to have peace then so be it.

You can't resist Agbero in Onitsha and Aba but you suddenly have courage in Lagos? Why?

I think 1967 ojukwu war never teach you sense.

This is what they like, to bully people into silence and you just fell for their game.

Those agberos are collecting taxes on behalf of the land owners for the use of their land, but the ibos don’t want to pay them because Lagos is no man’s land according to them.
Whether they like it or not those agberos would continue to collect the taxes until a modern method is devised.

In their biafra they have brutal agberos there who collect money from you for just passing on the road, and have you ever heard them complain? No!
But when they get to Yorubaland, they suddenly develop wings and want to fly high because they say Yorubas are cowards.

Enough of the gentleman attitude abeg, we’re in the era of gbas gbos.

Any ibo that mentions me stupiidly should be ready to hear the history of ojuku this morning.

I thought it's the Lagos state government that closed it indefinitely to avoid escalation of violence in the state.

The traders union in Alaba market is very strong, especially inside the main market. If Lagos State government says open the market and the union does not give the go ahead, it will remain shut.

The union authorised the closing of the market just as the government played its own part to avoid further damage.

This fight was long coming. They have had similar fights in Ladipo and Balogun markets several times. None yet at the trade Fair. It's only traders who feel the pain.

Government has to look into the matter. The extortion is unbearable for everyone.

Before now, what you could import at the rate of $400, you get at the rate of $750. Now you need to source for more naira to pay for your goods. On arrival at the seaport, tariffs have increased along with VAT. You pay shipping company and terminal owners. Customs do their own. You face transporters and then set off to the market. You encounter customs at Berger and Festac. You encounter NURTW and other touts on the road. Finally you get to Volkswagen where you pay that disputed bulky amount.

For youths here who are so childish and cannot reason properly, ask yourselves who pockets those monies go to. They are not used to fix roads or develop the state. Alaba roads are very terrible.

When the trucks pass Volkswagen, they encounter the local government team in front of their offices and then the "police armoured tanker" toll gate. Other ones wait as the truck progresses to the importer's warehouse.

These things are killing.

How can we have a country like this with crooks in different guises? Customers on foot are scared to get to the market because area boys are waiting to collect ground rent on the way out of the market.

If we truly want a better country, we must rise against every form of injustice and overcome tribalism.

Whatever happens in Alaba market, affects those others outside the market. Prices are determined there. Most of your electronics are sourced there. Your corner shop in your area where you purchase your generator, get their supplies from there. Now that the market is closed, prices would definitely rise, as dealers do not have where to restock from.

Hopefully government can get it sorted out quickly and the unions open the market.

And who will push us out of Lagos....

Even your government cannot do it.

Allow me feed on your dead ego.
Your government knows it's own people are so useless and non productive.
Nothing to offer that why they are quick to bring offers to Igbos to help develop there lands.....

What good are you to your own states?
What have you people invested in your own state?

Look at every place dominated by Igbos and see places dominated by Yoruba... The difference is clear.

Fashola dump dead and alive omo Igbo at upper iweka some years ago and heaven did it fall.
You all ran back to Lagos the following week.
Them go still deport you back again

Realist12:
you're saying something totally wrong, don't let anyone gaslight you into thinking only Lagos uses Agberos or touts , I support the agberos, before now they have been used as levy and tax collectors throughout Nigeria why are you saying they should be banned only in Lagos, what's the reason for the revolt of the traders against the agberos today , if not for election and they think with Obi's presidency they won't be paying the land owners again where as they still pay such levies in their home state to same agberos. The question is why revolt against the system that has been in place for so long , the traders were actually the instigators of violence here . Even the Agberos have proven to be wiser than the traders.

Secondly is Nigeria ripe enough to stop agberos? Most modern taxation systems put in place by Lagos state government is been heavily criticized , Imagine criticism of toll gate which will automatically stop touting of tickets . This people are not stating their intentions.

Which other state in the country do you often hear violent clash between agbero and investors, is Lagos State been developed by the tax payers money or the ugly actions by the agberos. U support the agberos by going to disrupt a peaceful investment environment that the LASG has already created a better digital means of tax collection.

The tinubu urchins game in Lagos has been exposed " creating a violent scene in Lagos just to tag it Peter Obi". Aren't u surprised how all you urchins moves turns to be a wasted moves, Obidient already has counters on all your pre-planned moves.

As for your tinubu I've said it before now that tinubu is like a gyroscopes spinning around at a frantic pace but never going anywhere.

You do not own a business in Lagos that's why you support agberos.

You do not have more right in Lagos than an Igbo man. Every inch of Lagos belongs to all Nigerians EQUALLY!

No need for questions, just tell your people that we’re ok with the IGR they’ve been contributing to develop Lagos, they can now take it back home where you need it more.

You have suddenly become an agbero enthusiast because you support BAT. you think it's only igbos they will attack always. Hopefully the day they attack your family members or friends, come out openly and stupidly hail them. Only a stupid illiterate will support agbero because they are their tribesmen

Tenses:


Some people's IGR don reduced drastically.

Good one traders let this Dracula government choose between hard working Nigerians and useless, lazy and lawless "owo mi da" tinubu's Agbero.

“ Owo mi da” boys are a lot better than UGM killing your relatives in Afghaneastern. Yorubas are finding solutions to their uneducated youths, yours are roaming around killing and maiming your people.

Your comment wreaks of not just outright ignorance but complete illiteracy.

Looking at you, one may erroneously call you educated. Your education, I am sorry to say, seems wasted.

How could you, a so called educated person, allow yourself to be ruled by an agbero, who is not educated?

If not for ignorance, how would you not read and understand the facts of the matter before making your uninformed comment?

Are the traders talking about payments to the owners of the land or the rip off by the so called owners of the land and their unbecoming attitude?

I believe that you are still being spoon fed by your parents and not capable to pay bills now, otherwise you will understand that paying such huge sums to is too painful to bear.

You use social media space to instigate violence, yet you are not strong enough for physical encounters.

See as your head be like monkey own.

Please, I beg your government to close the market.

The whole of Nigeria will suffer.

The truth hurts but it will be told regardless ...

Not just Yoruba but the whole of Nigeria will suffer.

Those who has any product gotten from Alaba will increase there price due to scarcity....
Once it finishes you're left with nothing.

Then who will go back to beg the Igbos to resume?
Nigerians. Then we will give you our conditions.

Stop boasting you buffoon.
Are ibo people the only ones into spare part business?
This arrogance of yours is tending towards insanity.
You place too much importance on yourselves.
Even the manufacturers of the products don’t make as much mouth as you mere buyers.

The same Alaba that's so dirty and disorganized, how many times have the government shut down the place for being dirty like it is being inhabited by Pigs.

We see how you developed the place.

The government knew you are just empty drum barrel and chest beater that's why they refused to come to your aid when the Agbero were dealing with you.

Ask them if there are no Agbero in Onitsha markets and Aba?

These guys believe Yoruba are cowards and Lagos is a no man's land, so they believe Yoruba are easy to deal with.

When did they resist Agbero in Onitsha and Aba? But when it come to Lagos or Yoruba land they will suddenly have muscle.

have you traveled to Onitsha before and see agbero inside the market extorting traders, pls stop posting your ignorance in a public forum, just to be tribalistic because nairaland encourages such to drive up more traffic.. How can any sane person support a tout disturbing the peace of entrepreneurs doing legal business and you support them because they are from your tribe..
