OP, you made so much sense but this Tinubu and his "fanta for face, Coca Cola for leg"
daughter are too greedy.

I sympathize with ignorant tribal jingoists who out of hatred for Ibos are jumping to take sides with the Tinubus.

See, the Ibo traders whom they hate have nothing to lose - absolutely nothing ! .... because at the end of the day,
the heavy taxation paid to Tinubu's family falls back on Lagosians in the form of higher prices.

A 50K phone will be sold at 70k since Tinubu's extortion have to be recouped.
It's Lagosians that lose!

How much is the money you are being tasked. The last time I worked in a market, it was 100 naira per month. Is it too much to pay as a tax?

you people are very greedy people, you never had enough of stealing from poor traders/people. how much levies/taxes are enough?

you still could not understand. Ooni is chairman of council of obas in osun state. does ooni or his iyaloja has power over any markets or iyaloja in ilesa or iragbiji or obamoro or iwo.not possible. do we have associations of markets or iyalojas in osun state? yes. do chairperson of that association has power to control markets or install iyaloja in markets outside her domain? answer no. granted, tinubu is head of association of iyalojas in lagos but she does not have traditional powers over all markets or authority to install iyaloja for any market. it is only oba ikeja i.e olu of ikeja that has such powers over c any markets in lagos. all yorubas are not fool to follow tinubu and his family stupidly. can u please answer me, who is iyaloja of shoprite which is also located in ikeja? you cannot hate racism and be promoting tribalism for whatever reasons. that is mother fucking hypocrisy in falz voice?

They will never understand. You do not impose all sorts of taxes -traditional, local ,state and federal - and you expect economy to grow. higher interest rates and ridiculous taxes are bane of economic problems.

MetaPhysical:


No, you do not understand the evolution of Lagos into a mega business zone. Lagos has the highest IGR, in fact in another 20yrs or less Nigeria will earn less than Lagos. All that money comes from commerce. The Oja institution has evolved with the prosperity and become a single huge economic domain. Iyaloja is the organizing head of all Ojas in that single domain, regardless of location and whoever is a trader in that market.

The issue here is not even domain. The problem is outlined in the opening post. Im not sure you read that opening post, if you did you failed to understand its purpose. Please read the opening post thoroughly and acquaint yourself with the issue.

MetaPhysical:


If interest rate is too high, dont go into debt. There are many ways to source funds without taking loan.

If taxes are indiscriminate make a statement that will impact the LG and force them to get sense. Relocate to a place with tax incentives.

luvmijeje:


So your definition of greedy is paying tax to government. Is there anywhere in the world that they don't pay tax? Is it only Igbos that are being tax?

The fate of Igbos: If Jews and Arabs were in one Federal country, and the Arabs were in charge, Israel will be a desert today.

Look at Israel today, what do you observe? The ways, means and methods, the fulanis or yorubas are implementing in solving problems are not the right methods for igbos. we must seek SEPARATION, each independent nation following its methods.

What is the right method for the Igbos? You know charity begins at home, so I'm expecting that the right method should have began in the Southeast.

Also speaking, the reagent to the stool of Olu of Ikeja, Prince Isiaka Apena, said the protests over the new market leaders were uncalled for. He said leaders were to see to the welfare of markets and urged those protesting to join the new leadership to move the market forward.

Apena reiterated the need for traders to show respect for their hosts, saying the claim that Ikeja belongs to no one was provocative an an insult to the Aworis who had lived there for over 400-years.

You don't think in an expanded spectrum of logic, what do you think igbo could have done differently in a country where Fools/Criminals manage the affairs of peoples. You know it for sure in an independent Igbo Nation none of the selected fulani stooges acting as governors in igboland would have become one. They're unlettered and criminals, those're the kind of people we ostracise from igboland.
The british Zoo called Nigeria is a CRIMINAL ENTERPRISE!

, when northerners imposed repressive sharia in the north with claims that it was their custom and religion the yorubas were among Nigerians that protested until northerners promised that it will not affect non northerners and Muslims living their region. since yorubas have claimed this repugnant and repressive social practice is their way of life which they love so much, they should make sure it doesn't affect non yorubas living in their region

First of all there was no such thing as 1999 constitution, what you have is a military decree which is null and void since the constitution we agreed on was suspended by the Igbo in 1966. The whole thing is easy, move out of Yorubaland if you can’t abide by the law of the land. I blame Yoruba for all these though, I don’t know why it’s difficult for Yoruba to understand that, if visitors are too comfortable, the host always lose something like peace of mind, this is why white people (no matter how wealth) always make the guest rooms especially the bed as uncomfortable as possible, so the guests won’t think they are on vacation and think of spending more than a day or two with them. It’s good though that Yoruba are experiencing this to learn the hard way to balance the accommodating spirit with a little of parrot and stick approach. And if this happens, Igbo are done for.

[s]So this method that's best for Igbos is not applied in the land controlled by people who spoke your language, came out of your village and elected by your people but you have the audacity to make that request in a land controlled by people who don't speak your language, didn't come out of villages or are elected by you.

Can you see how entitled you are? [/s]

Ode, you need a dictionary for meaning of leeches that latch onto hosts just like igbos latch on Yoruba for survival. Why can’t you stay in your region if you can do anything on your own rather than being drifters all over the place?

Tinubu is only there because she was invited to intervene. Iyaloja and Babaloja now report to LG Chairmen but they sit in Oba Council. You cannot bring all the Iyalojas to sit in council therefore there is Head-Iyaloja (Tinubu) that goes to council, but individual markets are presided over by respective appointees from the LG that oversees the market. So it works different than the way you outlined.

Also, markets in Lagos have always been very important. Next to the King, market is the next ranked priority. In fact, market in Yorubaland is more than a stall to sell and buy, it is an institution! It is a landmark also! The Lebanese (who Yoruba call Korea) have been in trade in Lagos far longer than Ibos. Ereko, Martins, Balogun, Idumota, Tinubu, Bristol, and so on....they dominated these parts. Till today their investments and properties still thrive in Lagos and they have never questioned or complain about Iyaloja that oversee their markets. So who is Ibo in Lagos?

Markets are so crucial as the backbone of Lagos that after Kosoko returned from exile in Epe the Governor built him a Palace and Oba Akintoye conferred on him Oloja of Ereko....which expanded to become Oloja of Lagos. The original Lagos port was where BRT buses stop now at Marina and used to be call Quay side. Customs clearing was done there before they relocated across the Lagoon to Apapa. There is a street adjacent to it and called Market Street. Im not sure if you are aware, the colonials saw Lagos Ports back in 1860s and early 1900s the way we see Lagos Ports today.....IGR cash cow! So Oja and politics go hand in hand in Lagos, before oyinbo came, while they were here and now that we rule it. You cannot separate market and politics in Lagos, and the politics of Lagos must remain intact in Yoruba hand. We will not share our administrative politics and we will not share our market politics.

The Lebanaese have been here hundreds of years and never complained about Iyaloja. Obalende and Idi Araba have markets and their heads are Yorubas. The Hausas dont complain. Ibo must comply with directives from Iyaloja and bring itself under regulation or we will vacate your shops and reallocate them. We are tired of you snubbing your noses at our culture and forming parallel organizations anywhere Yoruba is head. We will deal with you and there is nothing anyone anywhere in the world can do to save you. It will be too late if we take action against you...a severe action!
