Missy you don't get it.

It is just a trade treaty. It is like a Mexican with green card in the USA, they can't be president. The Igbo's only have green card.

The Nigeria media is not be transparent , this is why, we have problem.

Can a Yoruba man be governor in Igbo land. No.. No Yoruba have ever held an position in Igbo land. Igbo will never accept it.

That why for me. I don't complaints abroad. Knowing that no Yoruba man can ever been allowed to be anything in Igbo land or hausaland.


So many don't complaints abroad.

That why the media needs to tell the people the truth before they move

what are you talking about treaty? The Nigeria constitution allows any Nigerian irrespective of tribe to contest election in any state as long as he reside in the state and pay his taxes. It good for the aspirant to learn the language of the locals so he can communicate easily with them

Missy89:


Who is denying anyone from contesting in Lagos?

Good.
So leave it at that, whomever has greater numerical strength should govern Lagos. That's democracy unless you don't believe in it.
For now it is Yoruba.

The question is, if he is asked his decent, mother tongue and traditions would he claim that of the Yorubas ? I think using the case of Obama to justify this is absolutely illogical , because these are two different realms on extremes ends. This shows the electoral laws are so much flawed

Tell him to face his spare parts business or face his village, idiatic Igbo!!!

Aaah!
Are we not One Nigeria again?

Until a hausa man like me govern a state in the east

As much as I hate to delve into tribalistic issues....



Kelvin100 actually made mention of Yorubas having numerical advantage for now...


Dude...r u high on cheap weed!!!


U stil think dere' wil ever be a time when there will be more igbos than Yorubas.........


Its very unrealistic!!!

Which one is governorship again in another man's land.

Igbos should go and sit down jooor.

Duh! these people never cease to make you laugh, it will always be nigga...that's just the sad truth.

What of the hausa or yoruba or igboman that doesnt understand english? Why is goodluck their president when he cant speak their language?

BuddahMonk:
Lagos is a no man's land.
English language is the official lamguage
Igbo language is for commercial transactions.
Hausa language is spoken in the foodstuff businesses
Yoloba is the ghetto and transport language.

Yoloba language in highbrow areas in lagos doesnt exit but yoloba language is uses mostly in the ghettos and motor parks in lagos.

Lagos is a no man's land

.
Do you now see why Musiwa compares you guys to KKK??

Igbo investors should take note, Lagos can not allow a citizen of Lagos to contest for election in Lagos state because of language but will not protest money from outside Lagos to be invested in Lagos

Missy89:


ok

I so much love you missy,u don't argue with a fool,he brings u to his level,missed yaa,what happen u ve been off,did those pathetic mod ban u?

you displayed the reason the Yorubas dislike the Igbo

The status of lagos needs redefinition .is lagos no longer the commercial capital of Nigeria is it now the commercial capital of yoruba, with companies owned by non indigenes paying 99% of the taxes.

Do people really realise that lagos once had northerners as the minister of lagos affairs in a purely democratic set up.
The bulk of money lagos makes and spends is generated by non yoruba speakers and non indigenes.
The survival of lagos as a commercial city is dependent 70% on igbo entrepreneurs.
The igbos who aren't interested in learning yoruba language are responsible for the 90% commercial activities in lagos.
The igbos more than any other group will determine the future of lagos

Noooooooooooo!

ibos SHOULD NOT even be allowed to hold mere councillorship positions.

They are ingrates and longthroats.
Give them an inch, they'll ask for a yard.

Stop saying nonsense, that bolded should be 100%.

Some people really need to learn more about politicking.

Too Badt for The muntullar. He just messed himself on tv.

Igbo lost it themselve, did you know how many igbo are working is Lagos State Government?, did you know how many igbo are in high rank position in lagos state government?, the number is countless, yet this people tag yoruba a tribalist and call yoruba all sort of name during "Deportee Saga"

Igbo group & Elder are the first tribe to publicly ridicule another tribe "yoruba" calling them sort of names and cursing them, Igbo elder and group will spent million on newspaper and other media to attack and mock the yoruba, and yet they want to climb the higheest position in Lagos state in order to actualize their claim that they rule over the yoruba, that yoruba are nothing without them. And one expect yoruba people to abide by their wish all in the name of one nigeria.

I love igbo people very much before wish we yoruba considered them as our brother, since they display their hated for yoruba publicly, I begin study them and found how that most of them hate yoruba so much and derive joy in ridicule yoruba and claim they rule them in their land, I can shed my blood to stop igbo ruling in any yoruba land because i know the motive behind it, not love but to ridicule

solutionist:
When Obama won the votes of most Americans in 2008, to be elected the president of the United States, it was greeted with worldwide celebrations. Nigeria was not left out of the euphoria of someone of an African decent - a Kenyan, becoming the most powerful man in the world.

I would have thought that, this was one feat that we Nigerians would want to replicate in our heterogeneous ethnic set-up, here in Nigeria.

But how wrong I was!

Yesterday, on Channels TV, the APGA candidate in the forth-coming governorship elections in Lagos, one Robert Okoroji, obviously an Igbo man was put on the spot by the hosts of the Channels TV early morning programme - Sunrise Daily.

They read out some tweets, and instructed their guests, the Igbo politician, to demonstrate his Yoruba speaking skills. This was meant to serve as a test to confirm his eligibility to vie for the governorship of Lagos.

He was instructed by the programme hosts to translate some expressions in English to Yoruba.

Apparently, the guest wasn't a fluent Yoruba speaker. Still, he attempted it in a smattering manner.

The three host of the programme found amusement in the entire drama.

Personally, I didn't find this the least amusing.

In this time and age?!

What the hosts of the programme (Maupe Ogun, Chamberlain Usoh and Sulaiman Aledeh) demonstrated was the exact reason why millions of non-Yoruba speaking residents of Lagos State find it difficult to secure employment in Lagos!

Personally, I feel this sort of segregation based on certain variations shouldn't be encouraged. Competence should be primary.

There is no reason why a Yoruba man from Oyo, who has lived in Owerri for more than 10 years cannot be allowed to aspire for the highest elective office in Imo.

Same goes for an Urhobo man who has lived all his live in Kaduna. There should be no barrier stopping him -if he is qualified - from aspiring for the governorship in Kaduna.

However, one unique thing about Lagos is this.

Being the biggest metropolitan set-up in Nigeria, this revolution would best be started here.

If it can happen in Lagos, it will spread out to every other part of the country.

Perhaps, this is something that we should give a try.

Anyway, below is a YouTube clip of the interview.

Enjoy.

these are the real reason why ibos will not be allowed to rule lagos state,you people will wake up and cook up figures without fact,Ph is once a federal capital territory,with oil and good land scape one will hope it will be as big as lagos,do u know why lagos is big Today? I bet u don't know,the reason why lagos is big today is the host who are knowledgeable and wise when its comes to development knows that migration is essential because different ideology brain and man power is needed to turn a state around that's why they allow enabling environment for people to do as they like,the same cannot be said for other region such as the East and north because for you to set up a business in those area u will face lot of challenges,and again lagos is the smallest in all the state with more than 45percent hydrosphere,the state is made before amalgamated of north and south in 1914,when a yoruba man becomes the commissioner of finance in anywhere in the east come back here and vie for any position you want

chimkaire:

May you be blessed sist. This obsession is just too much.

just keep deceiving yourself. That's why fashola is able to pack you people on a bus like sardine and send you back to your states anytime he pleases. The worst you will do is cry and cry and nothing will happen.

If we pack Igbo must go in Lagos today, Lagos will still remain Lagos.

Lagos Federal Capital Territory is different from Lagos State.

Lagos State was created in 1967 .Prior to that Places like Ikeja Mushin Badagry etc were in the Western Region The Federal Capital Territory was Ikoyi Victoria Island and some parts of Mainland u to WAEC and Surulere. Ikeja industrial district was part of the Western Region and was developed by Awolowo.

People need to learn and realise that Lagos State was not the Capital of Nigeria rather Lagos City or what was previously known s Lagos Municipality was te Federal Capital Area.

Regarding the issue of eh developed Lagos ,people are entitled o their opinions but must remember a few facts . Lagos was significantly developed in the 1890s by which time there were telephone lines and street lights as well as a thriving
port. Lagos is what it is because it has the best point of entry and exit for ocean goin vessels along our more than 800Km coastline which is on the same latitude as Lome,Cotonou and Accra .Thereafter the coastline turns and moves southward sharply transiting into swamp and Mangrove or inland waterways(Calabar). Since that time Lagos has been and remains the cheapest and best point of sea access to Nigeria. That is the source of its advantage not the Federal Capital. Lago never attracted the kind of investment Abuja did and more importantly the PORT OF LAGOS PAYS FOR LAGOS . Lagos is an asset not a liability. Abuja will not be a contributor to the Federation account. Those who say Lagos was developed with oil should read its history. Lagos in 1900 was very much ahead of Onitsha today

you this villager and a painter. Because you came to lagos only once to paint at iju doesn't make you knowledgeable about the affairs of yoruba land. Stop floating your boat and face reality like collynzo9 who doesn't engage in this your no man's land stupidity.

You are a disgrace to all Igbos.

It is so bad in Nigeria, that even jobs in the north, which I wanted to apply for. The northerner s will put on their advert ,state that should not apply.



Nigeria is a bloodily racist society that why I have been relating with the ICJ to kick their black behind. If you don't agree.

Aare musiwa, did you apply the become an Emir in the north?

Igbo are very corrupt and aggressive just like south sudan people
Even if they give them an independent today i dont think most of them will live to witness the development and the sharing of wealth
They are power hungry people and i dont think they can rule lagos,
Yoruba are very intelligent and silent poison
I'd prefer Hausa
