Why not hold the seller responsible

Igbophobia is real.

Eriokanmi:
You may be right but every tribe is also guilty of such crimes. True or false? The onus is on us to learn from them legitimately. How many Yorubas are selling car or car parts at ladipo or elsewhere? What of building materials? These are regular needs and money spinning business areas we're not looking into. You don't need juju or rituals to thrive in it. Only a few of our people who ventured into it never regretted it. I don't need ti mention names. You know them. I'll remind you of Elizade,.metropolitan, etc. They're billionaires today.

Yorubas,mostly the Igbomina from Kwara state dominate the building materials market in NigeriaThey are the ones who deal in blocks,iron rods,mesh wires,paints,ceilings,timbers,plywood,nails,corrugated iron sheets,cement etc.
They don't only deal in them,they manufacture in Nigeria too.
Yorubas also dominate the fuel chain market in Nigeria.
85% of fuel stations etc are owned by Yorubas.
Not to talk about vehicles,mother care,jewelleries etc.

Obaaderemi2:
Does this make sense to you?
Are you not the fellow everyone tags jobless?

😂😂😂😂😂...... He is the fellow o.... He is actually jobless

Says who?

ProudlyLagos:
charity begins at home nwokem….how far have you been able to develop your land? Ibadan alone is far developed more than the entire SE

Pure stupidity. Why not encourage them to buy instead of telling them to stop selling to them. If the lagosians refused to sell to land to other tribes, kwara state would have been better than Lagos👌

Sirmwill:
Then when South Africans do the same, Nigerians shout Xenophobia

do the point gun for them to sell it off,wetin concern this with xeno

theredaddy:
Let them buy it, naa land dem buy not authority


even if they buy the whole ibadan land can they re -write or erase the heritage n culture for there own

You don't understand. Where will you stay and lay claim in the future.
Leki was once people's village but can they still come and assert their culture there today. Soon the igbos will make you tenants in your own land

Those lands, I believe, are bought on long term lease and will eventually return to the original owners; this means that there is no cause for alarm.

Igbomimas, especially the oro people are petty-traders in building materials and iron scraps they also sell hand tools. When we talk of major building materials, go to Odunade-Coker at mile 2 and see things. I used to people like you to beat chest until I visited that place. The 90% of the shops there is owned by igbos. A yoruba man owns the odunade/coker complex. That's where I bought all the materials for my house at alimosho.

The agbeni-ogunpa market in Ibadan, that used to be occupied by yorubas are now being taken over by igbos. There was a man called shangokoya in those days. He was the sole importer of lister engine which was mainly meant for grinding casava and corn, from india. It's an old invention. The engine uses 2 drums filled with water to cool it down, it has a long wide belt connecting the engine to the grinder if you still it. Some used to convert it to an electric generator in those days. Mr shangokoya became old and his children couldn't continue. That was how the business stopped. Ibos have taken over already. Go to all our villages. Boys have abandoned farming ,now doing okada business in the cities instead of learning the type of trading ibos are doing and taking the skills home to establish. How many ibos do okada transport? Their people will scold then.

The last time I travelled to my maternal grandmother's town in ekiti, most of the shops I visited to buy things were owned by ibos. One of them has a petrol station there. If he builds a mansion in my town today, they'd envy him instead of blaming boys who grew up in that town but doing okada transport in the city. As they're leaving for cities, ibos are tapping the opportunities they're leaving behind. There's no way people won't build houses, buy parts, buy drugs if they fall ill. Those boys don't see all these but quick and daily okada money. Who do you blame for that, still ibos? Our orientation needs to change, seriously.

Ritchiee:

You are the ones deceiving yourselves of buying up land from Yorubas who you and your ancestors have always seen as being superior to you Igbos just to shore up your identity.You don't shout buying up Kano,Akwa Ibom etc.
People will continue to sell land for business especially when they know they can take back the land soon or even revoke its certificate if they even have one.
If you go Indonesia or India to carry powder and buy land in Yorubaland,they will sell to you,wash your hand clean because they know that it is just for some years when they collect another money or take back their land.
Ask baba Ojuku.
Even Russia assets have been taken over in other lands.
Develop your scanty Igboland but na the place that is already more developed than your region you are deceiving yourself on.

😂😂😂😂 Stop crying please. Just stop selling land and you won't have to worry over anything. Although you can continue with the delusion and self denial of your reality. Baba said 'superior' lols..... You are superior yet you can't withstand being seduced with money over your inheritance? How logical is that please?🥺🥺🥺

You can keep your superiority, don't just get sense to match those milking your destiny with tribe and religion yet forget all that when they get into office

😅 Until the sellers need money for more owambe parties and sell them outright

All this twitter lies.

SUNNINO:
Says who?

mention one state more developed than Ibadan in your 5plot of erosion land?

alizma:

Which part of Enugu, Owerri and Aba is developed, how many square meters? As for the Yorubas, selling(leasing) part of your land to foreigners for development and business purpose is not a crime but mind the areas you sell, you don't sell places that hold history values for generations to come.

These are pictures of Aba. If I don't tell you, yorubas like you will think it's Europe.

There is nothing wrong with Tribalism, if the Tribe develop their own regions

Black man and his wack mentality

UNTIL YOU TELL US WHO SOLD SABO IN MOKOLA IBADAN TO THE HAUSA COMMUNITY.... I WILL SEE U AS A TABLE SHAKER..... YOU ALL PRAY TO OWN A HOUSE ABROAD BUT BECOME TRIBALISTIC WHEN A FELLOW NIGERIAN WISHES TO BUY OR OWN A HOUSE IN HIS OWN COUNTRY.

LET THEM GO, YOU SAY NO.... OMA SE O[b][/b]

Mrfixitt:
Black man and his wack mentality

Blackman, who doesn't understand his problem. Continue believing in a country that you didn't create, and wonder why the Nigerian government can never work.

Uncontrolled internal migration will be the downfall of Nigeria.

The hukou system is China's household registration system, a residence permit required for all citizens to live legally in a specific area. It was originally implemented in 1958 to manage internal migration and is crucial for access to various social services and benefits, including education, healthcare, and housing.
Key aspects of the hukou system:
Historical Purpose:
The system was designed to control population movement and allocate resources, initially dividing people into agricultural (rural) and non-agricultural (urban) hukou categories.

Those are beautiful pictures, and Aba looks like a lovely place to live. So why aren't the Igbo people staying in their regions? Internal migration to the Southwest is often forced.

Someone sold his land and pocketed his money, another person is busy wailing emotionally about who he sold his land to.

You don’t mind taking the money, but seeing Omo Ibo thriving and growing peacefully just aches your soul, doesn't it?

Ronus and their eternal inferiority complex just love bleating all over the internet.

Zeebuy:

I second this motion. After seeing the handwriting on the wall after tinubu won the election, I sold off my properties in Yorubaland. Right now, I have around 13 plots in Badagry and I'll dispose of them soon too

Igbos never learn that they will be crying like children when Yoruba reclaim their land

Look at lies that you are spinning seamlessly.
I stayed in Coker. I lived at Fatimoh close in Coker village where most of the Igbos who do business at Odunade live.
They don't sell building like the ones I mentioned there.They sell mainly toiletries,water machines, pipes,tiles etc.
Most of what they sell are imported by Doyin industries who always import 15,20 etc containers every now and then and this is where they mostly buy from.
I am very privy to the doings in the sector of building materials.Yorubas dominate it 95%.
Where you can see building materials include Lagos Island,Pelewura,Sura,Owode onirin,Orile,Ladipo in Orile Iganmu,Oluti etc.
You will hardly see Igbos except a very few.
The fuel chain market,new and old vehicles are also 70% dominated by the Yorubas.
Igbos are mainly petty business people.

Let me see if you know what business really is or you are just clowning.
If you think Igbos know business up to Yorubas...
1.Name just one Igbo business that is up to 48 years and I will give you Yoruba businesses that are more than 100,90,80 years and still kicking.
2.Name just one tangible Igbo businesses abroad and I will name more than 10 Yoruba businesses,most multibillion dollars businesses.
I still have more only if you can that.
I don't even think that you are Yoruba because it is Igbos that lie like this.

You people don't travel around Nigeria,so i have nothing to discuss with myopic bigots. I am from Delta state. I'm saying this objectively

ProudlyLagos:

Ishilove:
The person who made the post is a lunatic and those commenting to the lunacy also suffer from the same mental imbalance. Are they forcing them to sell? Did they sell under duress? If you're not comfortable with other ethnic groups buying up Yoruba lands then speak to your brethren not to sell again. Abi?

Useless, lazy and insecure bunch of idiots.

What the igbos are doing is offer them mouthwatering prices for their lands, offers they the Yorubas can't ever afford to pay. This is why they're lamenting, and the lamentation is from those who can't even afford half of what the igbos are offering.

Simply put, na bad belle. E no like that.

So, if toiletries, tiles, pipes , doors aren't building materials,then what are they? Tell me. You've simply agreed to my submissions. If you remove those item's you mentioned from a building, what's left are the iron, sand and cement. In my previous post, I mentioned that igbominas, especially oro people sell iron cos I bought iron from them in different mms. How many of them are selling those items you and i mentioned and in wholesale?Where did I lie seamlessly? I bought Stevo doors which is a known quality Turkish security doors at odunade shopping complex. Stevo is popular at odunade and he's an ibo man. We don't sell doors as much as ibos do. You can quote me anywhere. A whole building of 3 floors are occupied by doors only at odunade. Cross to the other side of the new pedestrian road and you'd see several warehouses where home wares are stocked by ibos.

How many of adedoyins and oyin jolayemis do we still have around and I'll mention plenty of ibos who are manufacturers in lagos alone, actively. Where's okin biscuit today? Where is doyin cubes, etc? Most of the banks are owned by ibos, hotels, transportation companies, indigenous breweries, indigenous pharmaceuticals,agribusiness,Computers wares and electronics, Oil and gas, name it. How many Yorubas are trading at alaba market? What of ASPAMDA and Tradefair? Alaba alone will swallow those areas you mentioned. Its where I've also been severally as lagosian We used to be known for such businesses but not anymore.

We're now more of s than industrialists and we need to go back. Where's adebowale electronics today? Ibos have taken over that line. Odutola tyres nko? Go to alaba and see wonders. Eleganza had ventured fully into properties with less manufacturing. Don't forget, the topic is about ibos taking over houses and property in Ibadan. In same vein, they're taking over most of the indigenous businesses in which we used to be a leader.

Don't talk of overseas businesses and those who own them cos they contribute nothing to Nigerian economy and most of them don't claim Nigeria. Its totally irrelevant to this topic.

Things have changed a lot in this country because Yoruba people I know used to be very friendly, respectful, and accommodating; now they are actually behaving in the opposite direction.
