The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has warned that investments by South-Easterners in Lagos State are not protected.

The Biafran group also opined that it would amount to falling into “deception for Igbos to continue investing in Lagos”

This was communicated in a statement issued by the IPOB media and publicity secretary, Comrade Emma Powerful, on Monday.

The statement read in part; “The attention of the global family and movement of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) ably led by the great leader, Mazi Nnamdi Okwuchukwu Kanu has been drawn to the deceptive letter from a group of faceless Yoruba Leaders and Stakeholders calling on Igbo communities in Lagos State for a dialogue.”

"Ndigbo must not fall into any deception to continue investments in Lagos State, where their investments are not protected.”

The group stated that it was not against dialogue between Yorubas and Igbos in Lagos.

It also stated that “IPOB will object to any dialogue that is intended to lure Ndigbo to continue investing in the hostile environment of Lagos State.”

IPOB claims that Nigeria has rejected Ndigbo “with exclusivity and ethnic bigotryNdigbo have lost millions of investments and lives in the Northern and Western regions of Nigeria.”

The statement further read; “In the North, Ndigbo are always the victims of any religious and political riots during which Northerners destroy, loot, and burn down businesses and properties belonging to Ndigbo.”

“Recently, in the Western Region particularly in Lagos State, Biafrans businesses and properties have been targeted by the Lagos state Government criminals, and we will no longer tolerate for our people to continue investing in Yoruba land.”

"Lagos State is not Igboland. Lagos State government has demolished properties and investment of Ndigbo. Many Igbo dominated markets in Lagos have either been demolished or burnt down and taken over by the Lagos State government. On the basis of the aforementioned, any Igbo person investing in the Northern and Western Regions of Nigeria needs DNA tests," the statement added.

They will be here very soon to intoxicate this thread

IMPOSSIBLE!!

Long overdue

Abeg they should do quick

They are only helping themselves with their investment in Lagos, they help no one. Let them go and let's see if hunger no go finish them.

Not investing alone is not enough, you can do better by packing your Ghana must go bags and Fan Yogo bicycles back to your AfganEast.

B terrorism and poor infrastructure, who would want to invest in Lagos anyway, definitely not the industrious and moneydriven Igbo people!

Do Nnamdi Kanu and his brother Emma have one block as investment in Lagos? Useless sons of good parents! Ajo umu si owerre ba nne ha afo! You kill your father and mother therefore you want to kill others mothers and fathers.

Nnamdi Kanu will die a miserable death! Iseeee!

Do you have any investment too? Hurry up ok.

Bye bye... Nobody will notice they left, Lagos is older than Nigeria

I dare people to leave Lagos state ....

I dare all of them 1000/x to relocate back to their region as they did during Biafra war and during Abacha take over

B terrorism, poverty, erosion lands... yeah, sounds like a great place to invest.

okoo

I support Igbos to invest back home especially in the area of Real Estate and manufacturing.
However, I strongly reject IPOB-ESN meddling in Igbos affairs. They're a terrorist group and do not wish Igboland well.

B are really making the right decision by investing in their own region, after all, who needs protection from the Nigerian government when you have erosion lands, poverty, and terrorism to keep you safe?

Igbos loves to take risk and they are too adventurous.

They'll hardly listen and in their homes and states.

The Igbo should be protected from who and by who ? So in your delsuion the igbo who came from over 7 seas and 21 valleys n mountain away from Lagos should be protected at the neglect of the indigenous Yoruba tribe ? So the indigenous Yoruba people can be at the mercy of the igbos ba ?!

Only you dem chase from north.

Only you dem chase from SS

Only you are now crying about phantom discrimination by SW.

This is sickening

You guys should stop investing already....Enough of this noise

The Good news is that you don't own any of the top 50 investments in Lagos, according to NBS, so you all can Bleep off
