Now who is opening a conversation with abuse? People like u provoke reaction and then turn around to base a senseless arguement on that reaction.



So, far ur reaction is predictable becos most yorubas have developed a sense of entitlement with regards to Lagos Governorship or Politics. This is very much so, to the detriment of the multi-ethnic and linguistic character of Lagos as a state.


What igbos are requesting is not unreasonable since they make a sizeable contribution to the state budget via heavy taxation and have been resident in the state from conception as the capital of Nigeria.


They own a sizeable chunk of the land mass that they bought and have even built upon. They are only asking to participate in the governance of their state. If Obama can be President of America, i dont see the big deal here.

We Nigerians need to have a serious talk with ourselves; are we going to commit to 'one Nigeria' or are we to go our separate ways because we cannot support 'one Nigeria' whilst still maintaining these separatist ethnic divisions in our home states. Lagos state should be for everyone, as should Enugu state, Ondo state etc.

Yeeboes are comedian, they own 80percent of Lagos, they own Abuja and Kano They are angels, and there land is like TheirDubai. ThTheyey cant ask this from Aboki's in Kano, cos those one will use them for Suya. Lwkmd

Fashola should better address our clamour else we won't vote APC.

It is only online and vainglorious Igbos like you ranting and creating a bad image for your ethnic group. The serious Igbos who are making progress they cannot match elsewhere, with real interest on the ground, know where their bread is buttered and will not vote PDP out of pettiness and egotism as your kind would.

After all the overtures to the PDP and Agbaje, did you get the deputy Governor slot you demanded? The fact accepted universally is that APC has taken Lagos far and is the Party responsible for how Lagos is now the only State in Nigeria capable of financing itself. Sensible folks will not put that at risk by voting for a Party only interested in setting up a private jet oligarchy where a few are stupendously rich and nada accrues to the people. Stay here making noise while Ambode is already choosing his personal decor scheme for Lagos Government house.

According to the constitution, the state holds and administers rights over land use for "All NIGERIANS".

As long as I keep paying the required fees as stipulated by the state government for the stipulated time frame, I own the land. It is mine until the day that I cannot lay claim of it.

Moreover, the C OF O is applicable to every NIGERIAN irrespective of ethnicity and religion. In essence, even Yorubas are subject to the same law. The land is not owned by the Yorubas as purported by many here, but by the government. A government is not an ethnic or religious institution. In this case, there is no special privilege accorded to the Yorubas.

Finally, the state cannot just wake up one day and start seizing lands bought legitimately because they feel worried about a certain ethnic group. They will be sued and Justice will prevail.

Igbos are over due to produce a governor of Lagos State.


How can one group seize the governance of a multi-ethnic state since 1999.



Power must be allowed to rotate in Lagos.

All these provocation by iboes against everybody is becoming unreal and even the normally accommodating Yorubas on the streets are beginning to whisper loudly about this attitude. Please my fellow brothers, stop asking for trouble. It is getting nearer than you think. The nthern disdain for iboes is soon goin to be child's play compared to what is coming. What is wrong with you Pipul? My brothers? What? Please let us be kiaful o.

Lagos is ripe for advanced political reasoning and multi-ethnic governance. Lagos state is miles ahead of other states in Nigeria. Many Nigerians from other ethnic groups are more Lagosian than their original ethnic group. The state should lead the way in showing other states the beauty of multi-ethnic governance in Nigeria.

All these ethno-religious considerations impede the unity and progress of Nigeria. The minds of the new generation is corrupted by such considerations. In Lagos, kids are born together and mix up with eachother in playgrounds, school, churches and mosques without caring about ethnicity. It is only the grounded TRIBALISTIC social system that separates them and causes strife, suspicion and ethnic hatred as soon as they evolve into adulthood.

If we are indeed NIGERIANS, we should be seen as being Nigerian first before being Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa, Efik, Urhobo, Tiv etc. Lagos, as a cosmopolitan city, must lead the way.

owobokiri:
We must drive this one Nigeria to its logical/pratical conclusion. A Nigerian should contest any political position anywhere. There is nothing like indigenes and all that. We are all Nigerians and are rightfull owners of this patrimony. Every month you gleefully share somebodys oil money while dictating to him how to move around in your enclave? That is 419

Nwabekeyi u are an idiott. So because you have eaten Chicken on Xmas day , u are feeling funky?

We dont need iboe votes, all we need is for you find work and pay tax, failure to do this and you and your family might find yourselves deported in the new year- advance warning Chidiebere

aurenflani:


You are the liar here because Ondo state's oil is part of the cake being shared.

huptin:


I only pointed out your error, there is no certificate of ownership on any land, in fact you cant purchase a land you can only lease it, after 99 years the land reverts to the original land owners they may decide to renew the lease or otherwise.

The state government can reposess the land from any one at anytime if it feels that it is in the greater good of the society, the court can only ensure you are adequately compensated. El Rufai demolished many buildings in Abuja, Fashola did same in Lagos. Its the law.

The IGBO group in question is seeking for political relevance in Lagos State. They are exerting pressure for political gains because they feel that they have earned it. They are NIGERIANS, and they have the constitutional right to do that. Other ethnic based pressure groups can do same in other states of Nigeria if they feel that they need political relevance. As long as they are Nigerians, it is constitutional.

The anger generated by the action of this pressure group is based on suspicion of ethnic dominance, which is totally unnecessary. Very unnecessary. I see some people threatening pogrom. That is the height of ethnic bigotry, envy and hatred. Not like I care about how they feel because a pogrom cannot happen in present day Lagos State. Talk of OYO, Ogun etc, I'll agree. Lagos? Forget it. Where you wan start and where you wan finish? SMH.

owobokiri:


Me a liar? Did I tell you I want to share Ondos oil? I am ok with Imo and Abia and Rivers oil. Take your gazillion barrel ondo oil, I don't need it. As long as resources made from other areas are used to prop your tribal states, every other thing should be shared, including political positions.

Yes, you are right. I am aware of that. It's, however, not as simplistic as you have implied. It's not just a give and take affair. The clarity of the land use system in Nigeria, as stipulated in the constitution, is still being questioned and subject to scholarly and judicial review. Having said that, you are mostly correct.

aresa:



You didn't earn anything politically or even socially and you care less about other people, this is just trying to bully other people to get what you want and even what you didn't earn.

Earning something means respecting other people, their hospitality and generosity, respecting other people's way of life and culture, respecting their land, respecting their laws and policies all which you people are yet do, all you do is insult other people.

Every other ethnic groups in Nigeria residing in Lagos state respects the laws and policies in Lagos, but not you people, you cry and complain over everything, you think every passed laws to designed to benefit the society goes against ibo people, even deportation was anti ibo when in fact it was the other way around since folks from other states gets the same treatment, even your own states deports all the time.

The say clean up your mess in Ladipo and you people turned the whole thing into anti ibo and tribal drama, they say pay your taxes like the rest of the state, but you cry and yell that the state is overtaxing ibo people when in fact Lagos state has nothing to do with Nigeria's taxation laws, they just want you to pay like the rest of the state .

In fact, when was the last time you stayed with the people of Lagos state or showed any kind of solidarity in times of trouble? Never. You dump the people of Lagos and jump on the next EKENEDILICHUKWU BUS back to your villages and let the people of Lagos fend for themselves and save their own souls.

Tribalism and ethnic bigotry is the other way around and when it comes to ibo people, you don't hide it, we hear you spew it everyday and even your leaders spew the same garbage endlessly. Ibo people and their leaders went to town just went to town claiming Lagos is no man's land so if Lagos is really no mans land, why not just go ahead and claim it and even elect your own governor and officials?

You are begging, crying and seeking relevance because you know Lagos belongs to the people of Lagos and not you.

MayorofLagos:
Do I even need to respond to the nonsense from this Igbo sub community in Lagos?

You all know what is in Mayor's mind already.

I will say this though, they find Fashola a softie and they enjoy disrespecting him left and right at every opportunity.

Why didnt their fathers try this nonsense when Tinubu was governor?

Igbos live in Ogun and in large numbers. Why dont they try this nonsense with Amosun?

They know whose eye to poke finger in. Fashola brought it upon himself trying to live the Nigerian dream.


There is only one dream....the Oduduwa Dream, and if you are on Oduduwa soil you live in conformity with Oduduwa philosophy, period!

Vote APC so we can bring regionalism and displace the Nigerian dream from our soil.
