See these foolish people masturbating all over this thread? This is why the SE will never develop, because it lacks the environment and character to attract the the best to move over there to contribute to it's development. Isn't it ironic that the purported buyer of the property in question would rather buy it in Lagos rather than build one in his native Anambra? The reason is simple.

The Tinubu who initiated the eko Atlantic project, as a typical forward thinking Yoruba man, originally positioned it to be an investors haven that will continually attract capital from anywhere, irrespective of race, color or creed. That's the difference between Yorubas and igbos, and why even the best and most successful igbos (as well as other Nigerians and foreigners) will continue to troop to our land with their capital coz they know their money is not only safe there, but also coz they know it is the only part of Nigeria where their investments have real value and will continue to appreciate.

Igbos are not the only non-natives investing their capital in Yorubaland. Dangote is building his refinery there. The French owners of Lafarge are there. Even American multinationals are not left out. Some of the wealthiest Nigerians of Yoruba extraction also have stakes.

Igbos should receive sense and stop this foolishness of celebrating their kin acquiring a property in Lagos, and rather focus on how they can reposition their region to replicate the Lagos/SW environment, that way other Nigerians and foreigners (including the elusive deep pocket igbos who refuse to invest their money in the region) can also feel welcome to contribute to the region's development.

You people abusing NwaAmaikpe truly need some sober reflection, rather than celebrating a private individual's investment in property in Lagos.

I asked that question because it is only people from that state that can afford this sort of facility.

South Africa developed Shoprite and DSTV in South Africa first before branching out to other countries. Alaba International and nollywood are based in Yorubaland. We are a federal republic, a federation of component parts.

I governed Heaven before Michael sought my downfall out of envy.

Its boring and overrated. I wanted a new experience so I came down to earth.

laudate:

Yet, in Nollywood the highest grossing movies that have raked in the biggest amount of money at the box office, were made by non-Igbos. Please research the history of the Nigerian film industry very well, before making unfounded claims.

They keep on hating and plotting evil while the evil return to them while we prosper

Congratulations Sir.


Is he also the owner of ABC transport?
I respect whoever owns that company.

Then why is your bile filled with a great amount of abominable hatred and evil?

ArchangeLucifer:




Cuz Im bored

For the very first time on NL, I agree with you. He should have taken his money and built this kind of tower in Anambra .

Nodogragra4me:
Go and build it and he will buy it from you as he did with this one ...You think somebody should just pour billions into a building whee it is not needed ... Yes he should contribute to the development of his state but not in the capacity of wasteful spending or investment... Anambra doesn't need this edifice for now

The corporate group to rent it are not there and back home in my Anambra everybody is a developer so who is going to stay in your own and pay you the king of rent you get in Lagos

Dangote businesses are not in Kano but Lagos and middle belt ...Atiku biggest investment are in the Niger Delta and Orjiako major money spinners aare not in Anambra but Niger delta and Lagos state ... Get real, this is billions of naira not 20 million naira

igbodefender:
Many Igbo film producers prefer to do low budget films, not block busters where they spend billions on one film. Since they control distribution, they still make their money in billions.

Nword22:
Illegal immigrant in Lagos.

laudate:

Keep telling yourself such fairytales if it makes you feel better. They control the distribution network of films, yet that channel is still poorly structured and in shambles. Yet, the non-Igbo who make good quality films are smiling to the bank...

igbodefender:
E pain am.

laudate:

Pain who? Aren't you the one wailing all over this thread?

You are still missing the point. If everyone from your region, diverts their money into buying towers and properties outside Ala Igbo, how will your region develop? For every naira invested by your people outside your region, the benefits remain within those places, and do not accrue to your people, neither does it help in developing your region.

If you do not make your region attractive enough for investment, so that the Dangotes, Ojiakors and Atikus decide to do business there, who loses eventually? Figure it out.

Lagos, Kano and Delta will continue to reap the benefits of their investment, and your people will keep crying about marginalisation, and claiming that Lagos is developed, while your region remains backward.

IkpuMmadu:
Can your state be compared to Anambra or are you now lagosian

Nodogragra4me:
It is not Orjiako that will make it attractive... Fine building is not what investors are after but infrastructure and the policy framework ...If Anambra has an airport , a sea port and other incentive then you can look to her people to do Niger investment than just building industries
