Igbos, Treat Lagos As A Shop, A Place Of Business,Not Home by gidgiddy: 10:06am On Dec 01, 2023 |
My fellow Igbos, Anam Ekene! I have been shouting it here on Nairaland for years that there is no such thing as 'one Nigeria'. If there was, every part of Nigeria would be where you can call home, including Lagos I have told our people doing business all over Nigeria, particularly in Lagos, to never forget 'Aku rue Ulo'. If you choose to forget, you will be rudely reminded later Treat Lagos the way you treat your shops, make your money, but think home. Your shop is not home. Go to Lagos, work hard legitimately, invest back home. Stop investing in Lagos unless the investment has a direct impact on growing your business. As an Igbo man, you have no business buying land, filling swamps, carving out roads, buying or building residential houses in Lagos, do it in the East! The day they will come for you, you will only have your self to blame "Onye Kwe, Chi ya ekwe" 21 Likes 4 Shares |

gidgiddy: Now you get it. There is no need to leave the market. Stay and make more mney, invest only what is needed to make profit, and repatriate your profit. But do no exit the market, repeat DO NOT EXIT the market, until time is ripe. 11 Likes 3 Shares |

@OP, on point. Mana malukwa na Igbo adighi agbaso oso mmiri karia mgbe mmiri mazuru ha aru. The really smart ones are learning though. One of my relations who is one of the richest men in my town has been quietly relocating for at least the past 20 years. Today, he still owns the houses he built in Lagos 20 years ago, but about 80% of his real wealth is in Anambra state now. He uses those Lagos houses to confuse people. Dude is a very trickish man by nature. He's long gone. lol ![]() In fact he spends one month in Lagos and one month in the East these days. Na time, the rest go follow. 6 Likes 3 Shares |

Many of you guys still underestimate the investment of Yoruba in Lagos lol 80% of Yoruba wealth in Nigeria is in Lagos State, many Yoruba from Oyo, Ondo, Ogun Osun, Kogi, KWARA invested heavily in Lagos to make Lagos what it is today, so even if all Igbo pull out of Lagos the vacuum will be fill by other tribes or neighbouring countries. 100years from now Lagos will still be the most industrial place in Nigeria. Lagos foundation is unshakable even In industrialization today no state in Nigeria can beat Ogun state, even Anambra can't match the industrial capacity of Oyo state. It is all futile endeavor. 19 Likes 2 Shares |

PureFace1: They should make haste and leave lagos and the entire south west ASAP. The day igbos will leave south west, we will mark a day to celebrate their complete departure. That day shall be celebrated every year so that our unborn children will know that once upon a time, a nuisance, bitter and ungrateful tribe from the sad yeast once lived with us. 12 Likes 1 Share |

If you cannot have a one on one meeting with the CEO of Samsung ,if you cannot fulfil warranty you will not be welcome.
