Forget that gist, I'd rather say the "Hausas" are seriously taking over Lagos NOW, A larger percentage of them are involve in "Okada" business, Check out the Sweet/Gum sellers on traffic, most of them now are Hausas, beggars etc! 1 Like |

As the Jews go ahead having their descendants in all parts of the world making progress and success that's how the Igbos will be. in the white world we have children from mixed race bearing Igbo surnames they will soon grow up to participate in politics then there we start ruling the world not only Lagos and Nigeria. We're the only Black tribe that can challenge the whites in both ways. NDU NDI IGBO. @ WENDYMANDA I get nothing against you am just joking 1 Like |

english, lebanese, chinese, indians all of them are filling lagos yet it is the Igbo one that is doing you - the former state capital will always be like that it is no longer just a Yoruba town, most wont even consider it that. Go to london and see how many races are there - it is the same in most capitals and because lagos was former capital it MUST be so. Some people carry on like having Igbos around you is the problem with Nigeria - why? Have Igbos not suffered themselves? We are all suffering together man so lighten up! 1 Like |

From the stupid posts i've read here can't we all get along? @poster Would you please stop all this tribalistic post @oziomatv You are the biggest racist ever, you truly need help, you probably have a lot of unresolved issues, you even look like one of those people cleaning toilets abroad ![]() ![]() ![]() |
Re: Are Igbos Taking Over Lagos? by ell77(f): 9:44pm On Jan 01, 2008 |
@davidif - please oh don't insult Igbos! It is uncalled for. People in power abuse their positions in those areas and non-Igbo areas also. Shouldn't the president enquire why certain areas are not developing - or don't you think it is because they don't care? |
Re: Are Igbos Taking Over Lagos? by wendymanda: 6:45am On Jan 02, 2008 |
You are the biggest racist ever, you truly need help, you probably have a lot of unresolved issues, you even look like one of those people cleaning toilets abroad . By the way, if Igbos are so special, why are your states so incredibly underdeveloped and backward, at least Lagos is changing a bit but ABA or ONITSHA is still ghetto but don't worry sha, when our state gov. starts charging you guys businesses high property taxes, then you would start crying like little babies @davidf Major hypocrisy. How can you call someone are racist and then do worst? Tha's so lame and I almost thought you had sense. |
Re: Are Igbos Taking Over Lagos? by topkin(m): 11:49am On Jan 02, 2008 |
Why are u Igbos having the idea that you are taking over lagos? I don't understand? What gave u that impetus or inkling that Igbos are taking over lagos. Sincerely and without bias, lagos is still a yoruba land. 90% of lands and properties owned in lagos are for the Yorubas. You guys are just tenants, we remain the landlords!!! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Awa la leko |

davidif:@ you davideff or davidif If I, an Igboman for that matter clean toilets abroad what will you a born slave do?, business?? NO I've remove my picture, I know you're going to commit suicide for not being successful in life when ever you glance at it, it's not your fault cause your tribe is made to be slaves or die of stavation. one more thing worship Igboman whenever you see him/her for you to know the tricks or you'll be enslave for ever. my urge to be nationalistic die the day BIAFRA refused to exist as a nation. |
Re: Are Igbos Taking Over Lagos? by grafikdon: 2:53pm On Jan 02, 2008 |
Oziomatv, Nwanne don't fall into that trap . The person calling SE states backward and retarded is speaking for himself and not his ethnic group. You can pick a bone with him without dragging his people inside, since they were not there when he made the derogatory comments. |

Re: Are Igbos Taking Over Lagos? by ell77(f): 3:11pm On Jan 02, 2008 |
@oziomatv - please my brother, insulting a whole tribe is not the answer to one guys ignorance. Many yorubas, hausa etc etc are fantastic people and would even miss certain Igbos if they left Lagos. |

Apart from Lagos, which other Yoruba state is better than Enugu and other Igbo States? Is it Ibadan? The dirtiest and most unplanned city in the world? Or Ekiti or Iseyin, or Ijebu or Ogbomosho? Lagos is not really a typical Yoruba state as it is for everyone, with at least 35 % Igbo population. Remove Lagos and the Yorubas are finished. 1 Like |

@ifyalways Adanne I found out that you're dating a non Igboman that makes you to sound this nationalistic. stay away from Ndi ofe mmanu thay will stab you unexpectedly, please don't say I never told you. we keep on fighting for what we hold dear. |
Re: Are Igbos Taking Over Lagos? by ell77(f): 4:41pm On Jan 02, 2008 |
@oziomatv - I know this was directed at ify but . . . There is no way the nation will ever split - all the oil is in Niger-Delta so lets put that aside for one second. If we are to stay together as one nation with one rule (whether we should be together or not), I think we have to havbe at least some love for other tribes, don't you think so? I know some Yoruba guys who treat Igbo women really well and some Igbo guys who treat other tribes really well with no stabs in the back. Yes there probably are problems at times and things don't work out for various reasons even the cultural reasons you may be highlighting but everyone's case is difference please. There is no way biafra will ever come to be whether it is the right thing or not - unless they find oil in hausa land. So how do we make Nigeria better if all the tribes are fragmented? Inter-tribal relationships can nsometimes be a blessing to Nigeria in disguise - maybe it fosters understanding and appreciation! |
