There is no Eze or Obi of Lagos. You only have Eze Ndigbo in Lagos, just like you have Seriki Hausawa (King of the Hausas) in Lagos and other places.

Yes, a Yoruba man can become a councillor in Anambra if he contests in an area where the Yorubas have more numeric strength over others. For this to happen, first, Yoruba people will first have to migrate to Anambra and reside there in large numbers, large enough to make a political statement as democracy us a game of numbers. If the Yorubas refuse to live in large numbers outside of their enclaves, do you expect me to import them and force them to contest and win elections there?

Note that the Igbo candidates that won elections in Lagos state did so in areas where Igbos have numerical dominance. They didn't win in Isale Eko.

Also, you may want to know that the first elected Mayor of Enugu in the 50s was a Fulani man.

Chidozieude:


Dunukwe, you have started ur madness again. What have you achieved in Lagos since you are family ran from poverty in Oraukwu Anambra to Yorubaland?

WOCKHARDI:
Please who are the non indegenes in Lagos? Is it only the Igbos?
IS SOMEONE FROM OSHOGBO AN INDEGENE OF LAGOS?
Why target one nation/tribe? What of the Hausa, Fulani, Kanuri, Efik, Ijaw and other tribes residing in Lagos?
In any case , Respect is reciprocal and must be earned. It's not by force.
The Obi of Onitsha visited, according to the Oba. Has he reciprocated?
I don't like a people with over blotted ego.

Ishilove:

'Real royal' my ass. The oba should first respect his office before he can get any respect from me. Oba Oyekan was the epitome of royalty, not this loud mouthed, ill spoken ex-policeman who still thinks he is in the police force (which happens to be one of the most corrupt institutions in the country). The baba is just yarning dust and attracting negative attention to the royal house.

FYI, I am not from the east. Nota bene.

Ishi.

In Yoruba Land and just like the North, ROYALTY CANNOT BE BOUGHT.

It is only in the EAST where ISHI is from that every PIG,COW and OWL can be an IGWE.

This OBA is not shoving it anywhere, as you should be very respectful to a REAL ROYAL.

Bigotic tribalism of the highest order.. Just read your own comment and tell me how meaningless/foolish it sounds..

You a "Nigerian" burning a "US" flag (two different countries in two different continents)

Now the Igbos pledging allegiance to a Yoruba man and voting him instead of another Yoruba man all in Lagos which is a state in "one Nigeria".

Now compare both and tell me if you had really used your brain to produce that bullshiit.


Then talk about the Igbos disrespecting the Yorubas, in what ways please?

After the Civil war,

Has the Igbos ever risen up in arms against the Yoruba people?

Has the Igbos ever forcefully claimed your lands?

Has the Igbos ever killed your farmers?

Has the Igbos ever killed your Oba?

Another set of questions for your bigotic brain to ponder on..

Are the Igbos supposed to go knock on every Yoruba man's door every morning, greet, sweep, wash plate and cloths for them?

Are the Igbos supposed to be paying money to every Yoruba man they see on daily basis?

Are all the Igbos suppose to be poorer than all the Yorubas because they reside in Lagos?

Are the Igbos supposed to think like the Yorubas and vote only who the Yorubas voted for?

Don't the Igbo man have a mind of his own?

Are you pissed because the Igbos dominates most major markets in Nigeria, Lagos inclusive?

Rose2014:


Na today? Hypocrisy smelling like fish
As soon as eyes are on them, they start professing love for Igbos like no man business. U start to hear things like:

My best man is Igbo
My senior colleague is Igbo
My wife's mother's sister's first son is Igbo


Feel free to add yours

God is watching Nigeria in 3D

Ishi You have no right to insult the great Oba of Lagos

What exactly did he say that led to such an attack from you? You are a mod in this forum and as such , you need to set an example to other forumites but you are just acting like an uncouth teenager

anwe:


Why did Oba took side in politics ? did religion had any part to play ?

Ilekeh:
He's right!

As an immigrant, go to American embassy and burn their flag, you'll find your way to your Naija bush faster than you can say NEPA.

Respect your host and you'll get a host not a host-ILE indigene.

Chukwugekwu:
I said it before there's no different between south Africa and lagosian. .......imagine claiming to be a host in my formal federal capital. ...don't worry soon all the yoruba that claiming to be a lagosians will be send to their state of origin

sanky346:
The Oba of Lagos, Riliwanu Akiolu, says there is a need for non-indigenes in Lagos State to respect the tradition and culture of their host.

The monarch said this during an exclusive interview with our correspondent.

While responding to a question on the threat he issued out to Igbo residents in Lagos State if they did not vote for Akinwunmi Ambode of the All Progressives Congress, Akiolu maintained that he had no ill feeling towards Igbo in the state as some of his closest friends were Igbo.

He said, “Eze Odimegwu, who is a former CEO of Nigerian Breweries, is still my best friend as well as many others. The Obi of Onitsha came to visit me here a few days ago. When you go to a place, you have to respect the host leaders, particularly the traditional leaders there because you are coming to benefit from their success.

“The people of Lagos are the friendliest and most accommodating people in Nigeria.”

He said the video which showed him issuing threats to Igbo leaders was a misrepresentation of what truly transpired.

He said the issue was twisted by those who wanted to gain political advantage ahead of the governorship election but God put them to shame.

“Those who orchestrated the entire incident know themselves and I tell you, those (Igbo leaders) who came here on that day understand me a lot and have even been coming since then,” he said.

Akiolu said many of the non-indigenes were deceived by politicians in their quest for power.

He said, “The man that promised to hand them deputy governorship slot and four commissioner positions and would elevate the status of Eze Ndigbo to that of Oba of Lagos has since denied it.

“It was all a political gimmick because I am sure they know that he was only deceiving them. As a matter of fact, prominent traditional rulers in the South-East have been writing us to say that they are not happy about the large number of ezes in Lagos.”

He urged all Igbo who won elections in Lagos State not to disappoint the people.

The monarch said he was confident that Ambode would do well in office.

He said Ambode would serve as governor for eight years not just because it was the will of God but because he would perform excellently well. He, however, said Agbaje was free to contest again in 2019 if he wanted.

He said, “By the Grace of Almighty Allah and my ancestors in this house, the Governor-elect, Ambode, will rule for eight years with a good performance.”

He said he had nothing against the Peoples Democratic Party or its governorship candidate, Mr. Jimi Agbaje, but noted that all humans are equal in the eyes of God but are not equal in the love of God.

He said Ambode proved his competence by saving the state from financial hardship when it was deprived of funds from the Federal Government.

Akiolu said he was not a politician but was only interested in the prosperity of Lagos and would continue to support the best.

Why with your SS/SE coalition are you lazy people waiting for those you call amala eater and cow herder to come and upgrade your ports? Your otuoke god just spent six years on the throne. Did he forget Ibos need the Onne port?

Ilekeh:


You're not hosting yourself.

You're hosting yourself in a safe and friendly environment (Yorubas) with ports and markets built by Yorubas to sustain your business.

You have a port in the East, but you choose to reside in the West. Truth be told, Lagos does not need you, You need Lagos to survive. Wonder why your likes run from the East and only return for "vacation"?

lyntiffany:
I knew you would land here
I have recently decided not to engage myself in tribal tantrums in N/L but the way the Yoruba's are going about the Igbos really makes me puke.
I reside in Uyo and a good number of them are there but you hardly see akwaibomites threatening their very existence even though they are so lousy for their liking.
Come to Enugu, you see a number of them too infact in my street in housing estate, at the extreme where they have a close we have Yoruba community there and nobody has raised an eyebrow towards them.
one wonder where this host of a thing is coming from as if others are parasites to them, whereas they are the known parasites cos they can't seem to remove their eyes from the oil companies in Akwaibom state.

OneNaira6:


Could you shut up and pay attention to ideykwum statement. If you are having a hard time understanding what he said then ask him to elaborate.

What he saying is that yoruba did not make Lagos port what it is today, the federal government did using ND oil, the maintenance of it is also coming from the allocations from the FG. which is what none of the other ports in Nigeria experienced. therefore, to elude yourself that you built it, you must vomit out every single penny put in building and maintaining that port cause that's the main reason people actually come to Lagos, nothing more, nothing less.
