You could have posted top 10 companies controlling the Lagos economy because just 3 companies onwed by delta igbos will swallow up all the companies owned by yorubas in asset base, revenue, capital base.

UBA, Zenith, Access Bank is all worth more than all yoruba owned companies.

I saw tantalizer that has been making losses for 4 years back to back or is it mama Cass that can't operate its ikeja outlet or is it sweet sensation whose hq falls short of an abandoned warehouse


I didn't see much of shoprite, addassmall, home affairs etc
Who begged them to come to Lagos State, why did they not station the headquarters of their businesses anywhere in Delta State, either Agbor, Warri, Ughelli, or Sapele, instead of shortchanging us Deltans of the taxes due to the state, why come to Lagos State?

Or why did Fidelity Bank not go to Anambra State to set up their headquarters in Akwa, or Onitsha?

As usual it is always the ones like yourself that have nothing, that will always make the loudest noise, Typical Empty Barrel.

Congratulations to them.
But fact on ground shows that the Igbos control majority of the small and medium scale businesses in Lagos which forms about 80% of the revenue base of Lagos.

Which fact on ground according to which statistics ? IPOB bureau lol

Most of Lagos IGR come from PAYE which mean it is from salary earners and big corporations in the state not 2 by 2 shops owners

Lol πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ make all the list u want street know who controls the economy na

One day all the ports would be equal, we would be allowed to import any goods and services from any port we want

Take pharmaceutical industries for example... Igbos owns 60% of the top 30 pharmaceutical companies in Nigeria... But must use Apapa and international airport Lagos to import raw materials... That's one industry

Chemical industry is same can only come in through Lagos

Electrical.. Same

Fabric same

Stock fish same

Garments same

Metals same

Ceramic same

But it's alright we no shake we are igbos we no dey run

the general language of all the 5 states in the eastern region of Nigeria πŸ‡³πŸ‡¬ is Igbo language, the general language of 6 States in the western region of Nigeria πŸ‡³πŸ‡¬ is Yoruba language, the general language of Northern region of Nigeria either in the north east or north west or north central (middle belt) is Hausa language. So tell me the general accepted language in all the States in South south region of Nigeria πŸ‡³πŸ‡¬.

Stop being smart by half.
Jim Ovia and Tony Onyemaechi Elumelu are from Anioma Igbo speaking part of Delta state.They are Igbo by tribe.
In south south there are many tribes that makes up the region.You have.
Ibibio
Annang

This list once again proofs the fact that Nigeria needs to break up. Lagos is Yoruba land and nature has favoured the Yoruba for Lagos to have been the country's capital for 70 long years. Lagos (and to some extent, Abuja) will always overshadow other states in the country in becoming first choice destinations for the largest indigenous, foreign and multinational businesses.
If the Igbos had gotten Biafra in 1967, most of the companies in this list will have their headquarters in Enugu with Igbo people as CEOs and GMDs. All these big banks that have hundreds of branches in the East would have built their headquarters in Enugu to continue to render their services in Biafra. As we speak, Shell's headquarter in Nigeria is in Lagos but they are building the largest gas plant in Imo. If Imo state was in Biafra, Shell would also have to build a new headquarter either in Imo or Enugu and will employ lots of Igbos into critical management positions. So I say congratulations to Lagos for being favoured by nature. If Port Harcourt was the capital of Nigeria for 70 years, nobody for sabi Lagos today.

You want to scatter Nigeria out of Bad Belle?

E dey your body.

You even mentioned fast food companies that just bakeries. Have learnt that 70 perfect of all container entering Nigeria goes to the East. meaning they are own by Igbos and more than half of the remaining 30 percent that remain in lagos are also own by Igbos.

An igbo man will run a business that is worth 10 billion naira in a hidden place, use enterprises as his business name. Yoruba will use company with flashy name ending in International Limited but don't earn even 50M a year. how come you did not mention all the Igbo companies that are worth billions of naira and import all the items you see in Nigeria. don't you think they are worth far more than those you label as yoruba companies. take note no single individual own a bank according to Nigeria law. those banks belongs to 5 person and above for limited company and million of people if it is PLC. go to Aba, Nnewi and Onisha, when you put all the big company together, you will know that lagos is toy.

Always doing attache by force to south south, same way you keep claiming Ngozi Iweala

If not for South South attache by force you would really suffer in the hands of Yoruba

Where are all the Anambra billionaires businesses ? they are all drug lords without any known businesses.

That's just a tip of the iceberg of what Yoruba control in this Nigeria economy

it pains you niiii. Stop displaying your ignorance here joor. I ask for their official language here, you are here displaying your ignorance 😳😳😳😳. All the tribes are much represented in Lagos(Yoruba State). Majorly as we have ijebu entrepreneurs we have have egba entrepreneurs too same way you will see Osun (Ijesha entrepreneurs too). They much dominated in Lagos State.
