I can drop my last kobo. The so-called non-indigene that wants to be the Governor of Lagos state is of Igbo origin. Why is it that of all ethnic groups in Lagos state, it is only the Igbos that are agitating for this?? Get2go, go back to wherever state you came from. Leave Lagos alone. I am not a Lagos indigene but I'll not cause trouble in Lagos state. Just because I live there, does not mean I'll start dragging politics with the indigenes. Jos will be child's play compared to Lagos. The time for a non-indigene governor (probably an Edo like Segun Aganga) will come but certainly not now!

Get2go: THAT'S NOT THE THEORY OF CHANGE. NON-INDIGENOUS LAGOS GOVERNOR 2015: THE CHANGE IS NOW Stop wasting your time. You wouldn't get deputy Governor, not to talk of Governor. Any party that presents an Igbo man (either as DG or Governor) will lose Lagos. You've heard it here first! The only non-indigenes that have a chance are probably Edos or Itsekiris men, even at that, their chances are still very slim. 2 Likes |

Seriously these Ibhoes are funny. Imagine ezepromo saying they own lagos? lmao what a clown. at least 60% of civil servants in lagos are yorubas. At least 50% of serivce providers (mechanics, plumbers, electricians, carpenters, shoe makers and co) in Lagos are yorubas. How many of those women selling fish, pepper, yam, etc in the market are Igbos? Less than 30% if u want to be truthful. Igbos own less than 50% of the private businesses, companies and SMEs( spare part dealers, car dealers, oil companies, factories, super markets, pharmacies, etc) in lagos. Mr eze promo please tell me how you Ibhoes own Lagos I'm waiting for you to come and amuse me. Please don't disappoint. |

odogwu-x: Thank you my guy. Political sophistication will come to Nigeria even more slowly because we are unlucky with how events have panned out to make many Nigerians, whether they care to accept it or not, highly prejudiced people who make biased judgements regarding considerations (ethnicity, gender, religion et al) that are not such a big deal elsewhere. You will see diasporans who should know better, via seeing their fellow Nigerian take political office in their diasporan Nations, come here to say Mr.X must never govern Lagos because he is not Awori despite the fact that Mr.X may be more talented, more dedicated to Lagos and more beneficial to the State than most Aworis. Those are the sort of issues we are grappling with that indicate Nigeria still has a long way to go. To be honest, I hanker for the systems I see working well elsewhere to arrive in Nigeria but I have pragmatically come to accept these things will "need time to develop" , as you state, watching how majority of Nigerians act, think and talk . Without a doubt, Nigerians will become more sophisticated politically in the future to the extent ethnic origin will matter less regarding individuals gaining political positions on merit but that time is still far away in future |

jason123:LAGOS GOVERNOR WILL BE ELECTED BY LAGOSIAN residing in LGA'S in LAGOS territory. If EDO or ITSEKIRI can present a popular candidate that's the way to go. WE ARE LAGOSIANS.. YES WE CAN!! |

Jaidey-one: My sentiments, exactly! I remember how the ibos used to state the same thing about Abuja, kano and other major northern cities by virtue of their population size, huge investiments and years of domiciliary but i suppose the recent activities of Boko haram (in the north) has put paid to such ridiculous asertions by my brothers, east of the river niger. I guess, this was the reason why the sardunna enacted the northernization policy of the 60's (and hence he had to die in the 1st national(sic) revolution spearheaded by the ibos). Its quite evident that both the sardunna and akintola (he too was murdered by the ibos) were vindicated in their suspicion about the ibos- give them an inch and they will end up claiming your ancestral land as theirs. We are not ONE nigeria, have never been ONE nigeria and will never be ONE nigeria.............not in a million years of sunday. In as much as i know that such "evolution" will never occur in the northern part of the country then i have no reason to fret that it will somehow transpire in my region. Anything else is just that -ranting of a clown!!! |

Jaidey-one:I never said Lagos belongs to the Igbos, read my post again. I said what Lagos is today is as the result of the hardwork of all Nigerians not only Yorubas and that's why the Yorubas can never ever dream not to talk of chasing all non indigenes out of Lagos. Fashola made an attempt but he can now see that the matter don pass am |

Eze Promoe: let's get something straight here, yorubas don't have problem with non-indigenes in Lagos but they have had enough of you ibo ingrates who have nothing good to say about us except trying to appropriate our land under one pretext or the other. Zik started the ball rolling in the 40's. |
Re: Lagos 2015: Non-Yoruba Will Be Governor. by OAM4J: 3:48pm On Jan 06, 2013 |
Gbawe: Well said. If the goal is to govern for the betterment of Lagos, then he or she is welcome but I dont see that happening in 2015 cos right now, I dont know of any non Yoruba man/woman that can be trusted without any suspicion to govern Lagos at this time. |
Re: Lagos 2015: Non-Yoruba Will Be Governor. by Afam4eva(m): 3:51pm On Jan 06, 2013 |
OAM4J:It has absolutely nothing to do with trust else Tinubu and Fashola wouldn't appoint non-Lagosians into his cabinet. There's no law that's stopping anyone fro anywhere from contesting to be governor of Lagos, afterall a non-lagosian contested against Fashola in 2007. |
Re: Lagos 2015: Non-Yoruba Will Be Governor. by Ngwakwe: 3:56pm On Jan 06, 2013 |
OAM4J: +1000 likes Let the discussion continue. Such a person should defend such suspicion citing his track records and involvements in working for the masses without bias to his ethnicity. |

Re: Lagos 2015: Non-Yoruba Will Be Governor. by T9ksy(m): 3:57pm On Jan 06, 2013 |
Of course there is no law that states that a non-indigene cannot contest for governorship in Lagos or anywhere else in the coutry. The question though is, will the indigenes be trustful enough to vote for him or her? |
Re: Lagos 2015: Non-Yoruba Will Be Governor. by Afam4eva(m): 3:59pm On Jan 06, 2013 |
T9ksy: Of course there is no law that states that a non-indigene cannot contest for governorship in Lagos or anywhere else in the coutry. TheResidents vote for a governor and not indigenes. The indigenes of Lagos are not even up to 10% of the population. I'm even just being generous. |

I asked Gbawe these questions, however, he's yet to provide any cogent answers... I'll pose the same questions to the myopic clowns on this thread as well... Quote 1: My point is that if it's not possible for someone like Chief Negro_ntns who has his ancestry in Lagos but was born and raised in Kano to contest for the governorship position of Kano, why should other people who're not from Lagos be vying to rule the place Also, have you ever seen a Scot born and raised in London claim English ancestry?? Heck, Tony Blair is an English man born and raised in Scotland, did that change his English ancestry?? Despite being born and raised in Scotland, and also as a former British PM - Tony Blair still has no say in what goes on in Scotland... He's a non-entity over there!! It's the same thing everywhere in the world and all the pseudo-modernists need to start accepting that human beings are naturally territorial and that's the way it's going to be till the end of time... Quote 2: That's wishful thinking in a tribalised society... There's nothing "indolent" about doing right thing within the context in which it's done.. It only becomes problematic when pseudo-modern thinkers continue to preach their idealist theories to the choir just to suit their own personal interests... If that's what is attainable across the board - why should Lagos be singled out by pseudo-modern thinkers for their idealist fantasies?? |
Re: Lagos 2015: Non-Yoruba Will Be Governor. by Nobody: 4:00pm On Jan 06, 2013 |
After going through this thread, I've really come to appreciate military rule a lot more. It seems nigerians were more united under a military administration than they'll ever be in a civilian rule.A non yoruba - Buba Marwa was governor of Lagos for years, so were other administrators in other states. All states in Nigeria belong to the federal government- first, before the indigenes can lay a claim to them. |
Re: Lagos 2015: Non-Yoruba Will Be Governor. by Nobody: 4:02pm On Jan 06, 2013 |
Eze Promoe:What if the country breaks into different regions, then they won't even need to chase you... The country has never being one, just pash pash by the colonial masters. The funny aspect of it is that an average grassroot southwesterner i.e our everyday market woman/iyalojas and agberos/ area boyz think all South easterners are called uche and northerners sani. I wonder how a non Yoruba would successfully sell his/herself to the grassroots for them to vote for him or her. |
Re: Lagos 2015: Non-Yoruba Will Be Governor. by Nobody: 4:03pm On Jan 06, 2013 |
Nigeria isn't America and no matter the political sophistication, the people will always be territorial, end of... If it's the same all over the world(except America, Australia, New Zealand and other Immigrant countries), why should Lagos be different?? That's like a non-Nigerian trying to rule Nigeria - it's never going to happen!!! |
Re: Lagos 2015: Non-Yoruba Will Be Governor. by EzePromoe: 4:04pm On Jan 06, 2013 |
T9ksy:My brother, you see, talk is cheap, action speaks louder than voice. Lagos does not belong to the Yorubas, it belongs to Nigerians. If you're fed up by the Igbos you see in Lagos, what stops you from acting ASAP? |
