Guy, I have spent several years living in Lagos and I can tell you for a fact that Igbo is NOT more widely spoken than Yoruba, in Lagos. If you said Igbo is widely spoken in Alaba market, Orile or Ajegunle, I might agree due to the heavy influx of Igbo traders in that axis. The traders use it to converse among themselves.

But in the larger parts of Lagos such as Lagos Island, Ifako-Ijaiye, Agege, Surulere, Ikoyi, Lekki, Ebute-Metta, Ikorodu, Badagry, Ebute-ero, Apapa, Mushin, Yaba, Ajah, Ilupeju, Ikeja, Palmgrove, Awoyaya, Sangotedo, Ibeju etc., you will discover that Yoruba is more widely spoken than Igbo, on any day of the week. In fact, one habit I find prevalent among Lagosians, is that they would first address you in Yoruba before switching to English, because they assume that everyone in the city is automatically Yoruba.

It can be a tad irritating, having to correct them all the time especially if you are not one of them. I really doubt if you have lived in Lagos, otherwise you would know that most of your claims are incorrect.

I am not one of those who insist that Lagos is not Yoruba land. Language spoken in Lagos can vary from point A to point B as you said.

But political correctness for a country demands that Yoruba MUST not describe non Yoruba in the Southwest region as strangers.

The only way for Yoruba to morally and legally describe non Yoruba in the Southwest as STRANGER is if Yoruba gains sovereignty for Odududuwa Republic which must include Lagos.

Guy, your arguments do NOT hold water. If you are not an indigene of Lagos State, and you come from elsewhere to settle in the city, you are still a stranger. If I decide to go to Onitsha or Calabar and I do not hail from any of those areas, would I not be regarded as a stranger by the local community?

A non-Yoruba who decides to live in Yorubaland is regarded as a stranger, the same way a non-Igbo who decides to live in Ala'Igbo would be regarded as a stranger and treated as one. A non-Hausa who decides to live in a Hausa community located in Kano, Kaduna, Sokoto etc, would also be regarded as a stranger. That is why non-indigenes of a place, quickly strive to learn the language of any new place they arrive in, in order to blend with the local community. Sorry, you cannot dictate to another ethnic group that they must declare a republic, in order to claim a city that is traditionally their own, by birthright. Are you their traditional ruler or their governor??

Stop this trend of thought or people will begin to mock your ridiculous comments.... I don talk my own! Una dey like to drag the thing wey no be una own. Are you now trying to 'drag' Lagos with the Yorubas?

So Xmen film is your new Oracle? I give up on you. Your case is truly pathetic. Please collect a refund from the schools you attended. The teachers there did a poor job of instilling some sense into you.

If u re a director & u want to shoot a scene in Japan, will the characters in the scene be speaking in Arabic?

D point is that, while d brown roofs re shouting Igbo's conquered the outside world see the Igbo's as the Majority tribe in d south.

Remember to patch ur brown roofs cos rain is coming soon.

I guess your middle name is Prof. Njoku. The Xmen film is a fictional account about unreal superheroes. So you believe that such superheroes with strange powers exist in reality, do you? And you still do not realise that there is something called 'artistic license,' which allows a poet, writer or artist to set a fictional background as a setting for his stories?

So the writer of Xmen who claims Igbo is the indigenous language of Lagos is your Oracle, ba? Well I can't help you. You have chosen to swallow falsehood, and wave it as the gospel truth.

Let me allow you to have the floor.... I am no match for your level of ignorance. If Prof. Njoku & Emeritus Prof. Kolawole are the ones who taught you this junk, please collect a refund from them. They did you a disservice.

You are right. You should not have replied, because your responses were filled with falsehood and ridiculous claims. The money spent on your education was wasted. So ask the schools you attended for a refund, because the only daft and intentionally stupid person on this thread, is just you. There is no point in trying to educate you. You know what? Never mind.

How many days since yanminri issued this threat?

How many hours left before this nonsense expires?

Datz d real picture, ok

We are hours away from your deadline and only yesterday you were not even able to cripple the pro-Buhari rally that you planned to disrupt.

Bunch of jokers

Just wait and see how they will shift the goalpost at the expiration of their lame ultimatum.

Take Osus and Ojukwus serious at your peril.

The North and the West did: between 1967-1970 and continue to do so in the guise of "One Naijeria"! Okay?

This ultimatum has been overtaken by new events. The major thing trending now, is the Kaduna Declaration issued by the Arewa Youths to call the bluff of the IPOB group.

Sane minds always take all their lame ultimatum with a pinch of salt.
