That response was thrash. Yorubas have lots of shops in Europe and all other parts of the world. In Dubai for instance, the sellers there speak little yoruba. So many times I heard them say "bawo ni"? and many other Yoruba words but never an igbo word. Even the people who are mostly into freight there are yorubas.

Unnecessary braggado. Una go just deh brag on top nothing. The Igbo man didn't respond to the the question. List the markets that has other Nigerians trading there was the question rather he went on a bragging spree.

izombie:
you people are just pathetic. So its the fault of the igbos that a yoruba or hausa man can't come to main market onitsha or ariaria market aba and pay for a shop to do business there abi? If you want a shop or land in the east come and buy. Nobody is holding you back.

I have lived in Enugu (SE), Lagos (SW), Port Harcourt (SS) and Abuja (NC) and ocasionally went to Kano for business and I can tell you that the least accommodating is towards the north. It is easier to live with an Igboman or Yorubaman (I lived over 20yrs in Lasgidi) than a core northerner

At any slight provocation, they can kill or burn your shop. Even if you practice their religion, if you aren't a core northerner, they discriminate. I am not here to play tribal and religious card but stating it as I saw it.

My Brother, the question is simple. To mention just three financial Federal government project in the whole of East, not concession and stuffs like that.


Surprisedly, Tell the world three capital projects Lagos state has done outside Federal built structures since Independence.

izombie:
no one said yorubas don't have shops in other parts of nigeria. The igbo guy was responding to the comment of the hausa guy concerning doing business in the east. That hausas or yorubas do not own a lot of shops in the east does not mean that the igbos refused to sell to them. The igbo guy even gave an example, no hausa man will be brave enough to buy a shop in main market onitsha if he's told the price but an igbo man will buy it and make it work. The response was epic and i have nothing more to add to that. Igbos buy or build whatever they have in other parts of nigeria. If you want to do business in the east come and buy or build shops or industries in the east. Its very simple.

Lol...
You make me laugh in the way you view economic development.

Government is a facilitator for economic drivers. They do this in many ways, sometimes through policies, other times through infrastructures...and even sometimes they do both.

Do not dismiss and disqualify concession as a major revenue generator.

Ask Babalakin how he is doing in Ikeja Airport.


For Lagos State
1- Education. (LASU)
2- Metro Transportation
3- Waste & Sewage

Something is off Sir. If Yoruba can go the North or the Northerners can come to the West and are unwilling to go to the East then something is off.

Nice Quote from the response:

"Igbos don't wait for free land or free portion to be allocated to them, they buy them from indigenes who always have it free by inheritance or by allocation but doesn’t know what to do with them. Only quota system worthless person will wait for allocation before he starts a business."

BabaRamota1980:


Market draw people in, not other way.

When people are not drawn to a market there is problem.

Market and diversity go hand in hand. If you want market to grow and pull poeople in you encourage diversity.

izombie:
there is nothing off. You see the way you went to the north, jut use that same way and come to the east to do business. Its that simple.

BabaRamota1980:


We were begged to take it. We were ready to tear this country apart. That was an appeasement to calm us down from doing damage. Nothing was given to us.

Nice Quote From the Response:

"There are shops in Onitsha main market but can you afford to rent it? Even when you do what do you intend to sell to regain your profit?"

i swear to GOD. dos igbos living in kaduna,kano,maiduguri,abuja,jos, etc knows that the north is very accomodative. only dos gala sellers who leaves in dos erosion caves think the east is all and all.i can swear with d bible that there are millions of igbos that prefered to die than telling them to leave d north and return to d east.they know d way the northerners accepted and accomodated them. come to kano,jos,kaduna,yola etc u ll realise that am saying d truth. infact 60 per cent of igbos staying in d north are not ready to go back to d east because of d way d northerners accepted and accomodated them. FACTS

Igbos don't love themselves:
# It got me laughing, But they help each other in trades. They've overtaken trade sphere in Nigeria.
# Despite there love for commerce, they shut down there businesses on May 30th, just to show love to there fallen heroes.
#They gave 95% block vote to Jonathan, no other zone can boost of such figure.
