Guy you see why I say you are Olodo, Igbo is a tribe, Igbo traders build this market under an Aegis or group Or what do you think i meant when I have been saying Igbo's built it? Oh you think every single individual trader will go and build a shop? Guy you no follow Abeg, you dumb bad bad, were you Buhari's classmate?

Oga, totit is far better informed than you are. You were the one claiming that all the structures at the old Trade Fair complex was built by Igbo traders, including the flyover. I educated you that the fed govt built the flyover, as well as a lot of structures at the Old Trade Fair Complex. They are separate from the ones the Igbo traders built. The traders only built additional shops.

Here is,was my point olodo,always try and read with your eyes open;

Yes I do, still opening another showroom next month, while I have also done same in Anambra.

Is that your fear? Your property? greedy and selfish man, because of your stupid property your want Igbo's to live in perpetual servitude like Afonjas.

Better split that biz in two and have one in the east if you don't have the capital to outrightly open another in the east.

afonjaheadhunt:
Igbos undisputedly own the largest properties, in Lagos, and SW by extension from real estate, factories, companies, industries, businesses, markets etc.. so yes it's understandably sad to see your brothers day dream about owning Igbo mansions and driving in Igbo luxury mobiles.

Don't have the player hate the game.

afonjaheadhunt:
This write up is to address the blatant lie and outright misinformation by Yorubas and other ignorant Nigerians alike. Taking a cue from other successful non violent secessions in Africa and across the globe one would realize that most of the write ups come from ill informed people and is simply the wishful thinking of lazy youths and one Nigeria praise singers whom want to reap were they have not sowed and want to use fear to make the Igbo's submit to one Nigeria, while that is impossible let me take a minute or two to educate the illiterates and to think that one even claimed to be a lawyer yet ignorant to simple international laws that preceded national borders, national laws or local politics of hate. Looking at global standard practice from countries like Sudan, Ethiopia, USSR, EU, UK, India, Pakistan, Malaysia, etc, to numerous to mention. Why will the case of Nigeria be different except you want us all to agree that Nigeria is a Zoo like Mazi Nnamdi Kanu have always opined.

Now let me make it clear that as soon as Biafra is declared a nation both Nigeria and Biafra becomes two sovereign nations subject to international laws, which supersedes that of Nigeria or Biafra, we are subject to Ecowas laws, African Union laws and UN laws as guiding sovereignty of nations and citizens therein, Biafrans being west Africa nationals will be free to live and work within any part of Nigeria and west African countries with an Ecowas passport, many Biafrans will have dual citizenship status of both Nigeria and Biafra, Igbo money in the banks will also be safe in their current banks which will also operate in Biafra subject to Biafra Central bank laws, however it is advisable to use Diamond, Fidelity or UBA bank now. Nigeria could not touch Igbo's money during the war the only way they could achieve that was to change their currency from Nigeria Pound to Nigeria Naira and deny payment, but that will not work any more if Biafran becomes a sovereign country peacefully especially now that banking is digital and global.

As for our investment and saying countries do not tolerate petty trading in their countries, that will not affect Igbo's in Nigeria rather it will define Igbo's investment in Nigeria by properly stating our worth, values, tax, and our IGR contribution, already Igbo's markets in Lagos are worth well over 500,000.00 USD I am not even talking about the goods, I am talking about the value of property and markets built by Igbo's in Nigeria, markets like Alaba international, ASPANDA (Trade Fair) Oduade (Building materials markets) these markets were solely built by Igbo investors and would beat and mark or investment capital put by the government, take a market like ASPANDA for example it comes with it's own flyover to prevent traffic gridlocks for customers coming to the market, has several police post, Banks, fire station, eatries, a field, etc. Also take Alaba for example it is one of the largest electronic market in west Africa, same for Oduade, these markets have all beat the investment benchmark, The only Igbo market that would be affected would be the Ladipo Auto Market but as we all know the have requested to be given a site to build their own market, so they are equally up to the task.

On this note if Nigeria should find tricks outside the book to steal from Biafra and rob them off what is rightfully theirs they will not just be creating friction with other west African or African countries but the rest of the world and sending a negative message to investors and other multinationals, this also makes it very easy for Biafra to challenge Nigeria's decision in a competent court of law, owning properties in your country is not illegal and in a case of secession you are not meant to loose your properties simply because of ones quest for nationhood more over it is the citizen that are represented and not the nation to it is illegal to take from citizens to spite a nation rather should Nigeria want to take actions against Biafra those action be taken against Biafra directly not its citizens living on their soil indirectly, Nigeria can do this by giving bans on importation of goods made in Biafra, allowing access though it borders, but to carry any illegal action against legitimate Biafrans living in Nigeria legally with an Ecowas passport is a breach of the law in it own doing.

Yoruba must understand that Frustrating Igbo businessmen, real estate owners or investors in their region will not add to South west rather it will take away from them, Yoruba leaders know this and see Igbo's as investors and economic drivers and strive to provide an enabling environment for Igbo's to live and do business in SW it is unfortunate that Yoruba youths think otherwise and wish to claim Igbo properties in Lagos by hoping that Igbo's are displaced of their properties and financial earning. What these so called youth have failed to realize is the devastating effects and implications that it will have in the region and Igbo's would always continue in their trade if not in SW or Nigeria they will continue their trade in Biafra, west Africa and every other country that has an airport and a seaport.

In the event of Igbo abandoning their properties in Lagos, the real estate of Lagos will depreciate and many of the properties will be vacant and occupied by peasants, illiterates, artisans and beggars thus watering down the status and class of the city. The earnings of the state government through the sea ports, airport, Tenement tax etc will witness a massive plunge. However should it be extended to Igbo business men and investors then the effect will be far overbearing for the city as the city will become a mere town and a shadow of itself, a perfect example is during Christmas celebrations when many Igbo's in Lagos travel for the celebrations, some might want to argue that other Yorubas in other states will fill those opportunities left by the Igbo's, then the question is who fills those left by the Yorubas. Take the abandoned properties saga in Rivers state for example, many of the properties abandoned by the Igbo's were inhabited by fishermen, farmers, petty traders and artisans look at those properties today the have not been maintained and it did not better the lives of those who took them while the Igbo's have come back to buy many of them back and even built new ones.

Did I also mention that they are Igbo's owned companies, banks, Tele communication providers, businesses, factories, industries etc that are littered all over the SW and the federation do you realize how much will be lost in tax payment to these companies do you realize the level of unemployment that their exit will guarantee and the kind of dangers and insecurity that it will pose. The relevance of Igbo's to the economic stability and progress of the federation cannot be over emphasized in as much as it remains a sweet dream to own Igbo properties but in reality the dangers are far too impending to let it befall a city like Lagos that have survived on the generosity of the common wealth and diversity of Nigerians and especially Igbo's. Some might say indigenization policy, but ask yourselves where are the one you initially indigenized. So while it might be a beggars wish Yoruba leader will not let them ride its horse because as far as the are concerned Lagos has to attain its 2020 and 2050 goals but the bitter truth is depriving the Igbo's of the gains of Lagos is also hurting its goal, a clear case of cutting the nose to spite the face.

These assumptions are solely the wishes of the poor illiterate Yorubas especially the youths amongst them who are lazy wish to reap where they did not sow, so they pray that such evil befall the Igbo's so that they can reap what the Igbo's have sown but it should be noted that as long as the Igbo's secede legitimately without violence or warfare then these wishful thinking remains exactly what it is nothing but mere wishful thinking a mirage and fictitious expectations. I advice such Yorubas to stop wasting the youthful years of their lives waiting for Igbo's to loose their properties so they can own it and become landlords of homes that they do not know when the foundation was conceived. Igbo's will not loose their property in an event of a non-violent and successful disintegration of Nigeria and actualization of Biafra.

A question for those set of Yorubas, have you thought of the fact that if Biafra secedes other regions will seek to be free from Nigeria as well? in such case will these their wishful thinking also apply to other secessionists or will it just be for the Igbo's, if the later is the answers that goes to show that it is a clear case of hate, jealousy, animosity and wickedness for the Igbo's that have bore this thoughts and not the legitimacy of the rational behind it. Biafra or One Nigeria Igbo's will continue to live and do business in Nigeria legitimately without fear or favor as enemies of Ndigbo would wish.

how can you live close to Alaba when you have not been to Lagos, Alaba is not on Nairaland.

afonjaheadhunt:
like I said you have not been to Lagos before when you get to Lagos go to trade fair and see for your self FG does not have up to 3 block which Igbo's bought over from FG and developed the entire market from the scratch, even at that the old trade ground is different from the new trade fair, stop trying to grab straws, I thought you were insisting that It was owned by LASG.

Ikoyi, Banana Island, Festac, Trade Fair belong to Lagos govt – Okunnu ON JUNE 20, 20177:23 PMIN METROCOMMENTS Elder Statesman and former Federal Commissioner for Works and Housing, Alhaji Femi Okunnu on Tuesday expressed sadness over the current status of the Federal Secretariat in Lagos and other abandoned and surplus assets of the Federal Government in the State, urging that the assets be returned to the State Government for effective and proper usage. Okunnu, who is a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), spoke at Lagos House in Ikeja while presenting the report of a Special Committee which he chaired set up by Governor Akinwunmi Ambode on Federal Government Assets in the State. He said the whole of Ikoyi, Banana Island, Osborne Foreshore, Festac Town, Satellite Town, Trade Fair, among others belonged to Lagos State Government, and title of the lands were vested in the Governor of the State, urging the Federal Government to handover the assets to the State Government. Okunnu said the issue of Federal Secretariat in Ikoyi was particularly saddening to him for the fact that it was during his tenure as Federal Commissioner for Works that the structure was constructed. “Federal Secretariat gives me sadness because I built it when I was the Federal Commissioner for Works. The land upon which the secretariat is situated is part of the Crown land now State land. The title is vested in Lagos State but when he was Governor of Lagos State, Brigadier General Omobola Johnson (Rtd) agreed to release that land to Federal Government when they wanted to build Federal Secretariat. “Today, I don’t like to pass through that side because it gives me sadness anytime I see it in the current state. “It is not only the quarters but the land on which many of these buildings in the areas are situate. In our Committee, We have tried to argue that the whole of Ikoyi with the boundary at Lagos Canal standing between Ikoyi Island and Lagos Island, title to the whole of the Island is vested in the government of Lagos State when Lagos became Crown Colony. The whole of Ikoyi including Osborn Foreshore, Banana Island, and others belong to the State Government,” Okunnu said. Going down memory lane, Okunnu said the title to the whole of Festac Town was vested in the Government of Lagos State and that the Federal Housing Authority (FHA) remained the tenant of the State Government, same as Trade Fair. “Lagos State Government acquired the Land of the Trade Fair site but Federal Government took over the land and gave a promise to pay the state compensation which was to be paid to the original owners of the land but that compensation was not paid. Today, the Trade Fair has been turned into market far from the original purpose intended. “Satellite Town too is vested in Lagos State. It is the Federal Government which should prove title to any land which it claims to own in Lagos State, but I will like to urge the Federal Government to return the lands to the State Government,” Okunnu said. He said during the course of the Committee findings, several government agencies were contacted including Federal Ministry of Works, Power and Housing, as well as Ministry of Defence, among others, expressing optimism that the State Government and the Federal Government would find a lasting solution to the issue. “We hope that discussions between Lagos State Government and Federal Government over Federal Government lands and state lands within Lagos, as well as over disuse or surplus lands which Federal Government especially Defence and Prisons are still occupying in Lagos, and are now surplus to requirement, will be held to settle this palaver once and for all,” Okunnu said. Responding after receiving the report, Governor Ambode commended members of the Committee which included Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Femi Falana; Partner of SimmonsCooper, Mrs Victoria Alonge, among others, for the painstaking efforts put into the report, saying that their passion in ensuring that the State Government recovers its lands, buildings as well as disputed quarters were very much appreciated. He said the report came at a time when the State Government was in dire need of space for developmental projects that would improve the socio-economic wellbeing of its residents in line with the realities of present times, adding that such projects, when embarked upon, would help to reflate the economy and improve the GDP of the State. He said: “It is our hope that this initiative will put an end to the long-standing dispute between Federal and Lagos State Governments over the Federal Government disused lands and buildings and disputed quarters in various parts of the State which are no longer in use for the purposes for which they were originally released to the Federal Government “We are hopeful that this report will get favorable response from the Federal Government especially given the fact that the Honourable Minister of Works, Power and Housing, Mr Babatunde Fashola (SAN) was a passionate advocate of this issue during his tenure as the Governor of Lagos State and is also now a representative of Lagos State in the Federal Cabinet.” Besides, Governor Ambode directed members of the Committee to move further by mediating between the State and the Federal Government on how the assets would be released to Lagos State.

Control of federal land: Lagos defeats FG in Supreme Court

Published January 27, 2017
Share Tweet Share
Supreme Court of Nigeria


Ade Adesomoju, Abuja

The Supreme Court on Friday struck out a suit filed by the Federal Government seeking an order wresting the control and management of its land in Lagos State from the state government.
A five-man panel of the Supreme Court led by Justice Olabode Rhodes-Vivour, unanimously struck out the Federal Government’s suit after upholding the preliminary objection filed by the Lagos Government to challenge the competence of the suit.
Justice Dattijo Muhammad, who read the apex court’s lead ruling, agreed with the Lagos State Government that the court lacked the power to exercise its “original jurisdiction” in the suit because the Federal Government had “transferred its title in the land to others”.’
The dispute between the federal and Lagos State governments was about “general control and management of federal land within Lagos State particularly the re-issuance of certificates of occupancy, granting consent or exercising rights of ownership.”

You are Joking, abeg inform yourself and stop living in fools paradise.

Bianca Ojukwu, the embattled widow of the late Biafran warlord, Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, has asked a Lagos State High Court, sitting at Igbosere to reject an application filed by her husband’s second child Emeka Odumegwu Ojukwu Jr, seeking to be joined as defendant alongside Ojukwu Transport Limited (OTL) and seven others in the suit she filed against the family over property.

The former beauty queen had on behalf of her two under-aged children, Afamefuna and Nwachukwu (claimants) sued Ojukwu Transport Limited, OTL and seven others; Prof. Joseph Ojukwu, Emmanuel Ojukwu, Lotanna Putalora Ojukwu, Dr. Patrick Ojukwu, Edward Ojukwu, Lota Akajiora Ojukwu and Mrs. Massey Udegbe (doing business under Massey Udegbe & Company) before the court over an alleged move by the Ojukwu family to eject her sons from the company’s properties situated in Lagos. The company, OTL, and its property belong to the grandfather of the claimants, late Sir Louis Odumegwu Ojukwu.

In their statement of claim, Bianca, and her two children prayed the court to declare that the alleged threat of forcible ejection from 29, Oyinkan Abayomi Street, Ikoyi, by the defendants as illegal.

They are asking the court for a declaration that her children are entitled to possess the following property: No. 13 Hawksworth Road, Ikoyi (now known as No. 13 Ojora Road; No. 32A Commercial Avenue, Yaba, Lagos; No. 30 Gerard Road, Ikoyi, Lagos and No. 30 McPherson Avenue, Ikoyi.

According to them, the properties were under the possession of the late Chukwuemeka Odimegwu Ojukwu, the father of the claimants, from the time the properties were released from government acquisition till date.

The claimants stated that throughout the period their father was fought to retrieve the properties from the government, the second to seventh defendants “never played any role in the struggle nor contributed financially or otherwise to the realization of the struggle.” http://onobello.com/bianca-asks-court-to-dismiss-ojukwus-second-childs-application-to-join-property-battle/

Let me deflate your overbeaten and overblown chest.

Once upon a time, there was something called regionalism in Nigeria aka regional administration when all the 3-4 major regions in Nigeria were separate when each region managed their affairs and resources when each region developed at their own pace with their own resources.


This is when all the regions managed to show their competence, social and communal skills, economic and financial strength.

During this period, the SW was the most successful across the board in terms of social, infrastructural and economic development.

The government of the western region built all the industrial estates in Lagos state and they are still responsible for our main manufacturing and industrial output.

The western region built the first TV station in Africa.

The western region built the first modern stadia in Africa

The SW built the first skyscraper in Nigeria

The western region created Oodua group of companies with major companies that are still thriving till today from banks to malls, real estate, telecommunications, printing, hotels and so on

Now, do you mind listing what your region achieved during regionalism? Nothing, I mean nothing.

My point is, we know ourselves, we know our capacity and ability to achieve and conquer, we know we achieved so much when we were by ourselves without you or the North so exactly what do we need you for. We did it before and we did it again with the largest regional economy in Nigeria today..

We did it before, we are still doing it and we can do it with or without you so good riddance, your dirty spare parts rubbish is due for modernization anyway, so leave and let us clean it up with the introduction of modern auto spare parts shops like Autozone.








Bye Felicia...

hilroy:
Thanks so much for this comment. It annoys me when I see some Yorubas accepting the lies and propaganda that Igbos own substantial investments in Yorubaland. There is nothing significant Igbos contribute to Yorubaland that other tribes do not contribute. They claim they have businesses, when you ask them what the businesses are, they tell you spare parts business in Ladipo or electronics shops in Alaba. But for every one naira an average Igbo man makes from those businesses, an average hausa business man makes 10 naira from bureau de change but you don't hear them make obnoxious noise that they own Lagos. They claim they have houses in Lagos but all other tribes in Nigeria have houses even foreigners have houses in Lagos. Like you rightly said, those bastard unity beggers are the one selling Yorubas cheap by making these ingrates feel important. I cant wait for the day they take all their belongings and mischievous acts out of Yorubaland. Enough of this hospitality to people that are ungrateful.

And your infericomplex is mind boggling, what has being born in Lagos and growing up in Lagos got to do with anything on this thread, even Afonjas know that I am 100% Afonja too cause I was born here speak the language too well I even speak the Ijebu dialect schooled in the Prestigious SW university, run my biz in Lagos and SW, have them as family and friend heck even roll with them and club together (fun dudes) but that does not stop me from telling the truth as it is or defending my own from the hate always spewed on this platform.

Even one Afonja on this forum managed to track down one of my showrooms in Lekki, he probably thought I was just a common Igbo dude on the streets, he always had riff raffs with him roaming my business premises and always sitting at the security post trying to corrupt the minds of my Afonja private security guards when they informed me of this I called the police on the touts, till today they have not come on Nairaland I am not sure they have been able to meet their bail conditions, while I feel sad for them, I can't tell what their intentions were.

Now please tell me where you pulled the stupid statistics of Igbos owing 90% of the properties in Lagos from, I think it was a typo and y'all meant to say "prostitutes".

Yòrúbas are humble achievers and not hairy gorillas who beat their chests like deranged fellows. We don't make noise about our successes unlike some cursed uncultured and unruly lost jews. Put some respek on our fvcking name beech.

Guy where is Elephant building? Apapa Towers? Ikoyi tower and his other office towers scattered across choice areas in Lagos in the 60's The Ojukwu's only got a few residential building and not all they did not even get "Ojukwu's court", Ojukwu's fathers personal private residence, so Mr stop saying what you don't know to feel alright.

Go to Surulere, Ojuelegba, yaba, lawanson, road and see afonjas still living in Igbo houses today, in Ojuelegba just before under bridge there is a twin 2 story building No 31A/31B for both twin towers built by the same Igbo man after the war the houses were occupied the man sha did wahala got one and just last year got the other from the Afonja thief that have been living there for close to 50 years now the Afonja is homeless and begging to be given a flat they are many like that many Igbo's lost their property till date to Afonjas but you folk keep denying your thievery.

After Chief Samuel Shonibare died very prematurely at 44 in 1964, his wife, Chief Mrs. Alice Olaperi Shonibare took over the business and helped not just to keep his dream alive, she continued to dream new ones. She redeveloped Shonibare estate. In fact, it was never called Shonibare Estate, people called it by that name in memory of our first Chairman.

So, after he died, his wife who was an incredible, self-effacing and very smart woman took over. They had been formidable partners. She, it was, who created the Maryland Hotel, a 50 room hotel which became a huge success with a restaurant and dance club. She paid back the loan to Barclays Bank in 1969, acquired the interest to Elephant house from the Pearse Family.

Now Elephant House is widely recognized as one of the most interesting examples of Brazillian architecture in Nigeria. It stood magnificent on the Broad Street but one of the conditions attached to her acquiring this building was that any building that had to be built there must be called Elephant House. So this was the original Elephant House, a holistical monument which people like John Godwin have fought very hard to have listed.

It took ten years to get the permission to build Elephant House because, in those days, the Lagos state government was very strict about the condition under which you could build a high rise. You had to have 50 feet setback at the front, 50 feet at the side. You had to do a survey of the impact of the construction on the environment. You had to submit what you now call, an Environmental impact analysis.

And because the size of the land around Elephant House was modest she had to acquire 3 more plots to make up 2,502.52 square meters of what is now the present Elephant house. So, it took her 10 years to get the approval and she always contended that that was the hardest part of the process and once she got the approval, she handed it over to her daughter, Taiwo Taiwo, to raise the funds for the project. Taiwo Taiwo was just 29 but it didn’t matter to her mother.

She said; “Listen, I have done the hard job; you go and raise the money. Your father was very young when he put together western house so you go ahead.” http://www.sipc-ng.com/vision/alice.html

With heavy investment in transportation (Ojukwu Transport Limited) and Real Estate, the man was able to buy choice properties in Lagos and the East.

Some of the properties include: Villaska Lodge, the Lagos home of his late son, Dim Odumegwu Ojukwu, at No 29, Oyinkan Abayomi Street (formally Queen’s Drive), Ikoyi. This building tested Dim Ojukwu’s fighting spirit because he went through several court battles with the Lagos State Government to reclaim ownership after he came back from exile in 1985. The building which used to be some sort of Mecca for Igbo leaders is presently not occupied by anyone, only security guards and cleaners are seen around. The lawn is still lush green as domestic servants tenders the flowers and clean the surroundings. Other buildings in Ikoyi are situated at 41 Macpherson Avenue, 13 Hawksworth Road, and 14 Probyn Road, Ikoyi.

Another building situated at 58, Ibadan Street, Ebute Meta, Yaba, Lagos is presently rented to an investment company and valued at over N300 million. Other prime properties are situated at 2A and 2B Park Close, Apapa, 32A Commercial Avenue, Yaba, Nnewi Building at 1/3 Creek Close, Apapa, 120 Agege Motor Road, Mushin, 4A and 4B Park Close, Apapa, 196 Igbosere Road, Lagos and 15/16 Forces Avenue, Port Harcourt. http://www.castles.com.ng/magazine/article/AGENCY%20PRACTICE%20/1216
