That's how it should be. Best man for the job, no matter where he/she comes from. This kind of a man will never abuse or disrespects the Yoruba people he has been working together with for decades. I hope other tribes/states will borrow a leaf from Lagos state/Yoruba people and shun tribalism. 176 Likes 7 Shares |

No big deal at all! Yoruba occupy similar positions in Rivers and else where ps: this is the kind of thread where Yorubas display their skills. Ambode employing an Igbo man is nothing special nor does it change anything about the Yorubas. its a normal thing. you guys should get over yourselves. 5 Likes |

Ventura1: No big deal! The man is a Lagosion, a Yoruba to the core. The fact that he even schooled in Ife means he has lived in Yorubaland since Adam. He is not a recent Yoruba-wannabe Igbo man. If any Yoruba man wants same in Igboland, he should go and live there and pay taxes there for donkey years. After all, the first mayor of Enugu was an Igbo man, and in the recent past there have been Yorubas in Govt in Enugu and Abia, and an Edo man in Imo. 11 Likes |

Baawaa: Until i see that happen in ekiti, osun, oyo, ogun, and ondo i wont take U guys serious. Lagos remains a no mans land hence its administration should be all inclusive of all tribes, considering that all tribes contributed to Lagos development. By the way, Am not decived by Ambode's move, he did it to distract Igbo people's attention from the attrocities he is committing at ladipo.. He is trying hard to disguise as not being an Igbo hater, am sure he know igbos are not foolish and no number of appointments will change what has been done hence we will respond at the right time. As for the appointment, its no big deal because even the most Igbo hating government in Lagos will not dare sideline lgbos in the administration of lagos because igbos are If not the largest, the second largest ethnic group in Lagos.no wise government can afford to ignore them cos he will need their numerical strenght in times.of election. Meanwhile Lagos remains a no mans land, indigenous to some yoruba tribes, badagary, ijaw and some slave returnees. Coquered by the british and made a british colony, became Nigeria's capital and now have almost been bought up by the igbos.so igbos are equal stakeholders in Lagos and if e pain you, u can jump into the lagoon... 30 Likes 4 Shares |
