No! you are wrong! we have plentiful Yorubas in the north even in borno despite bokoharam bombings but you hardly see yoruba men in the EAstern part of Nigeria. why? the Igbos are no accomodative. they treat non-igbos like an alien

petitmonde:

pain?for where.it is a wake-up call.mind u,it was never an all-igbo vote that got them in.
Apc was voted out in Oshodi-Isolo cuz the incumbent was not liked.

Mykevp2p:


How stupid can some of you fools be? Have you ever been to any part of Igboland before? Have anybody rejected you the right to carry out any business activity in Igboland? I'm from Ozubulu in Anambra state, I have 2 surgeries and both were performed by an Hausa doctor living and doing his business in Ozubulu, his hospital used to be along the udorji road, just very close to the Ekwusigo local government secretariat.

Stay in your enclave and still wallowing in your stupidity while great minds are thinking and discussing ideas. Our first target is achieved, the next is senatorial seat in Lagos and boom, we are coming for the big one while you and your likes keep whining like a demented souls on Niraland. You haven't seen nothing yet

GoldHorse:
Yorubas are the most "detribalize" ethnic group in Nigeria and this is what make us great just like America (Lagos is a typical example). We intermarry freely, we welcome visitors freely and allow them to flourish too.

So you guys should stop claiming your clout is this and that and you will take over this and this soon before you start sending wrong signals to various people. Most people might not mind accommodating friends but please be sure that NOBODY will want that "friend" to take over or change that leadership/ownership equation and might do whatever it takes legally or otherwise to prevent the apparent "takeover". The same America is a typical example here too (the relationship between white and blacks).
So please don't start what you can't finish! Don't sensitive people to the wrong thing, don't make them aware of what is not there because, believe me, you won't enjoy the outcome.

Your business (which I know it's the reason majority of you are here for) will not be as pleasant or profitable when your host community doesn't like your face and you can quote as many laws as you like it won't change a thing.
How will you like if one Mr Ngbatingbati that has been living in Onitsha since whenever claiming he will take over the leadership of the great Onitsha market for starters?!

So please STOP THIS!

Raiders:
If care is not taken APC might lose Lagos in the governorship election

If Yorubas are bigots like you they will not even allow these guys to contest. When will you ever grow up. Lagosians are lagosians. Stop planting tribalism into it.

quote author=kaima1984 post=32192713]They are investing,developing,living life at large in Lagos,old fool sooner or later u will kw that Lagos is our father land.

#proudly igbo keep living large in anothers Man land.

You and I know that igbo cannot take over lagos,than for you guyz to start clinging unto power in lagos...We will vehemently send you back to that shit hole you came from.

bidex:

You are somehow right my fellow Nairalander. Just dont hate them, let them live their life. there has never been an area in igbo land that yorubas dominated niether there is dominated area by the hausas in their land. The Ibos never want outsiders to be part of them. yet, they claim that the yorubas are the tribalism. take a good look at the results from their region, it is really disheartening, ambigous and unreliable.
We give them freedom of to do whatever they want to do in our land.

muhamm3d:
One sad thing about this is that yoruba people are the most tolerant in Nigeria. This will nver happen in any igbo state, they would rather kill the yoruba candidate than see him win any position. Even the beggars in eastern states are igbos.kaduna and kano are filled wd yoruba pple and other tribes. . Really dnt lik d igbo breed, they will do anyfin against u in their states then want to take over ur own state. Imagine d fo.ol that wants to b gov of lag and cnt speak a word of yoruba. Just imagine d mu.mu.

Mykevp2p:


And what would the Yorubas has done to stop the Igbos and the Edo man from contesting? I thought many of you warlords here on Niraland said the Igbos are insignificant in Lagos? wait for it, we are coming for the Governor in Lagos. It is high time you relocated to the SE, live there, have your business and contest election there. Nobody will come to your state to beg you to come over to the SE to contest.

The first mayor of Enugu, Mallam Umaru Altine is a Fulani man, so keep ranting on Nairaland while progressive people are voting for better candidates

belabela:


Seems you never heard about primaries. You think these guys just woke up and presented themselves? Common sense isn't that common these days

kibo:


[b]How you speak about someones ethnic affiliation indicates if you are tribalistic. In a bid to speak against tribalism, you are being tribalistic.

Without any sense of tribal bigotry, if you see things in clear perspective. The Westerners are more inclined to white collar jobs, this doesnt warrant migration as a lot of companies are already situated in the west.

The Easterners are more inclined to small scale businesses, that is why you notice a lot them migrating to other places to search for better markets. Infact the Igbos are everywhere in the country doing businesses.

On the flip side, most white collar jobs are populated by Westerners. These jobs bring more stability in terms of migration. That is why you dont see a lot of Westeners migrating.

Moreso, the fact that Lagos is highly populated has nothing to do with tribal affiliations. It is just because it was the defunct capital of Nigeria and economic powerhouse of the country. All capitals in the world are populated. For example, if Kebbi State was the defunct capital, you would notice the same migration pattern to Kebbi State regardless of tribal affiliations.

Let us try to be OBJECTIVE in our analysis.

Captain001:




How will you dominate an area when you don't go out en mass? Except for taxi driving and auto mechanic job and few bankers, what will take a yoruba to igboland? Igbos travel in throngs not just to yoruba land but almost every part of the world for business be it legitimate or otherwise. This is a phenomenon we all have to deal and live with.

steppin:

Hater!
How many yorubas contested in our states and got killed?
Because of your cowardness, you assume things even without trying.
No Igbo cares if you don't like them. I pity Igbo foools in Nl who supported APC.
Very soon, they'll turn against them.
Violence is currently brewing in the west and the people who will suffer more are non-indigenes.
After that, an eediot will come to tell me that yorubas are tolerant.
Tolerant my foot!
If someone is maimed because of their voting choice, what's the point of One Nigeria?
Nobody should tell me anything about tolerance here.
Hausas and yorubas are the same....violence runs in their blood.
Funny thing is, they're the one who are quick to shout one Nigeria at every slightest thing.

taharqa:


You are such an IDIIOOT. The way some of you Yorba, I hope a few sha, carry tribalism for head is really amazing

About not having other communities in the East. That is not true. Infact, in some native villages in the East, you see core Northerners that sell suya and do other trades. You also notice Fulani herdsmen with their cattles grazing on Eastern lands. There are Hausa communities all over Eastern States

Let us try to be OBJECTIVE in our analysis and not be clouded by TRIBAL sentiments.

I'm sorry sir, but I am simply posting raw news. This does not give you the right to call me a bigot when you don't even know anything about me. You sir are the bigot who got bent out of shape simply because you saw the word "Igbo" in the article. Why do you feel threatened by that?

Sir, the political clout of Igbos in Lagos is growing, whether you like it or not. That is the reality, deal with it.

taharqa:


My opposition to Buhari, apart from the fact that I genuinely liked GEJ, was cos I don't TRUST him. I still don't. The bigger reason was cos of the the party whose platform he chose. Now I HATE d guts of APC, even much more than I did FOR PDP. And people like you rep some of the worst specimens in that party

CaptainOjemba:
Do you have the population? How can you wake and want to take over the leadership position of a market or place? What is your economic impact to that place? Can you say of that to the Igbos, these are factors that come into play when taking a leadership position of a place.The APC in lagos sideline the Igbos, we only make money for them through tax and after that you are abandoned, on the issue that yorubas are tolerant I see it as a fallacy cos I know what I face here, ask our business guys what they face, the only thing I appraciate yourba for is that they respect the santity of human life to an extent unlike the hausa's

CHESSBOARD:


JK must win Lagos....we voted for GMB for president but we will vote for JK for Gov, we need change. we dont want any God fatherism any more, the ppl must determine how we are governed

tollu:
This thread is a glaring example of the chest beating that Igbos do which in turn aggravates their hosts.

For fvcks sake, why open a thread and start bleating about Igbo political clout?
Look all over the SW elections, PDP had a strong showing and this only goes to show that Yoruba's do not reason along ethnic lines.

Men, y'all can never learn.
