APC Chieftain, Joe Igbokwe, has said that the same Nigerians complaining they have no money are still the same people buying houses everywhere in Lagos state.
Igbokwe stated this on his Facebook page while sharing his experience after he visited a popular business hub in Lagos on Tuesday, May 14.
According to him, the real estate market is booming, the fashion industry is booming, the food market is growing and other aspects of the economy appear to be doing well.
He wrote:
‘’Today I went to Broad Street Lagos Island to change My frames and eye glasses and noticed that many of companies and institutions occupying the tall buildings are no longer there. Almost all the whole stretch of Broad has been taken over by traders. The tall buildings are now warehouses. The whole of Broad Street is now a beehive, traders have taken over every space, every street, every corner, people everywhere, goods everywhere, vehicles everywhere etc.
Lagos Island is monumental business hob. The volume of businesses going on there run into trillions of Naira. Lagos should be the fastest business hob in Africa. Some people will say there is no money in Nigeria, nothing is working, we are hungry, we are dying but go to any market in Nigeria and see Nigerians. Money no de , money no dey but houses are springing up almost everywhere in Lagos. The Real Estate market is booming, the fashion industry is booming, food market is growing, tech hob is growing etc”
