State Of Residence Recognised While State Of Origin Abolished by hooklover: 10:14am On Oct 31, 2017
The complication state of origin has created more harm than good. It is better we go with state of residence.if you stay in Lagos for over 5yrs and pay taxes there you are a lagosian.Entitled to all benefits of the state and contest for any position..

How can someone stay in Lagos over 10yrs and cannot benefit cos u say he is not from Lagos state. But he works and Pau taxes to govt.

Sate of origin should be abolished from our constitution and replaced with state of residence as its done abroad....

The earlier we do this we have less friction and can have a free Nigeria not divided by state of origin...

Hausa who stay up to 5yrs or more in Lagos with prof can claim to be resident in Lagos.
Igbo innlagis can do d same.

Igbos in Kano can do the same....

Web we realised our state of residence more important that state of origin we can have a great county not divided by ethnic lines....

lol! Should I say you are bias or what? In all your write-up I didn't even see where you wrote, A Yoruba man that live in the East for more than 5years is entitled to all benefits of the state and contest for any position. Your aim and concern is just Igbo and Lagos! Na wa o. The hausaman of a thing is just a cover up! Na wa for Una o! As lagos dey west they pain Una ni?

You are doing yourself while thinking that you are doing me. Even if you tell me your state of residence is Lagos, as long as your name is Chukwudi, I know that you are omo Igbo. Even if you say that your state of residence is Kano, as long as your name is Olawale, I know that you are omo Oduduwa. So, lets stop deceiving ourselves about state of origin or state of residence, we should just live with the dichotomy. Abubakar Sanni cannot tell me that his state of residence is Osun and expect me to treat him like omo Oduduwa because Abubakr Sanni is definitely an almajari from the North.

Eboes are really obsessed with the zoo. I have never seen a greedy tribe like eboes before. While eboes are fixing their eyes on Lagos, Hausas are already taking over Ebonyi.

There are many Yoruba's in southwest. They can claim state of residence. That WATS obtain in d states. It reduces the ethnic dichotomy cos it is were u live and work that matters. Not Yoruba man working over 10yrs in akwaibom pay taxes there and still cannot benefit from d state....

The Lagos development is as a result of all tribes coming together so Yoruba's cannot say they alone are responsible for the economic prosperity in Lagos...

If taxes are collected from other tribes that work and live in Lagos or other states then they should be seen as folks contributing to d good of their present state..

If passed into law will go a longway..

The hypocrisy of Nigerians are matchless. In one breath, they shout one Nigeria but to support a suggestion for one Nigeria to work is a problem. Pretenders. Let this country be shared abeg.

Cool with me OP. Here's a simple question are you willing to give up being from certain place just because of you ethnicity. You no longer conest in the other places your state of origin unless you go live their five years.

Yinmu. That crap won't fly coz it will only favour almajiri/wandering tribes like herdsmen and yiebo people more than others. Why? Iboland is not condusive, too tribalistic, less-accomodating and less-economically developed for most other Nigerians to find it attractive enough to move to in order to live, earn a living and benefit from such a law. Therefore the benefits would be one-sided and meaningless to the majority of Nigerians. Most ibos don't even want to remain in iboland so where is the incentive for non-ibos to emigrate there? I repeat that such a law will not fly and is dead-on-arrival. cool

Omo, fvck 'One Nigeria' o. Who One Nigeria epp I am not an advocate of that crap. I feel every region should be in charge of their own turf and handle their own shyt as they deem fit. Left to me, everybody should even bear their father's name. There'll be more respect, less strife, and folks would know and act within their boundaries that way. undecided

This thread is a false flag attack meant to ignite Igbo vs Yoruba drama. OP just had to mention Igbo unnecesarily because he knows the power behind that word.

This isn't big deal to anyone not a tribalist. He mentioned igbo and hausa. Consider these type of topic the preferred debate ground of stupid.

because Lagos needs to be conquered first, The Hausa Fulani has plans to take Lagos since the 18th century. The igbos have arrived too to conquer Lagos too so you need to watch your back.

I am for secession. But if that's not obtainable I will go with regional autonomy. The military tried (and failed) to force the various ethnic components within this geographical expression to assume a pseudo-identity. This is partly responsible for the failure of the country to develop since regionalism was terminated. Give the ethnic components secession or regional autonomy and see if they won't develop at their own pace beyond what this country can ever attain under a false 'One Nigeria'. Common stable electricity we haven't been able to get right after all this while, in spite of the billions of dollars wasted. I put it to you that Yorubaland will achieve 24hr stable electricity within 3-years if granted the autonomy to chart its own course.
