For your information Lagos was HOTT before Nigeria became One country. and Lagos was Lagos before igbo or niger deltans even knew about lagos bro.

Nchara:

A yoruba was special adviser to Enugu gov
An Edo is currently a special adviser to Imo govt
A Yoruba was special adviser to Kalu
An hausa was the first MAYOR (Local govt chairman) in Enugu
As of today, an Igbo man and a Yoruba man hold political officers in Kano

Fasola is not doing anything new

Monkey. Festus Adedayo became special adviser after his special assistant job. I have also posted that link. I know it is difficult to swallow.

My friend, you think the people of Calabar are not hospitable? Have you met their women?   What more hospitable can you get? lol

Lagos would have been a backwater village, if the British did not take an interest to that city. That being said, people still flock to Lagos in search of jobs so who can blame them? Port Harcourt has seen an increase in its population and it will one day rival Lagos with LESS slums. My hometown, the Garden City will shine brightly under the leadership of Amaechi. BTW, I know many Ikwerres they have married into my family, and I speak their dialect. They are basically Igbos, but that is another discussion.

chyz:

Igbos and Niger Deltans were in lagos before Nigeria was one so whats your point? Also im still waiting for your evidence.dont run away from something you brought up.Be a man.

Ok Lagos was "hot." But if it wasn't for Eastern "swag," that city would be nothing.

so i should start jubilating because a yorubaman was made special adviser on MEDIA to a governor while an ibo man has been commissioner for budget since Tinubu days till now.btw,is there any yoruba still occupying such as at date ?

Nchara:

Whether you jubilate or not makes no meaning. I was trying to let you know that others have done it before Fasola, even when there is no political need for it. Tell me the gain for a Yoruba to be an advsiser in Enugu or Abia govt? The gain for Lagos is the Igbo population and the electoral value, which any gov will ignore at their own peril. If Fasola ignores the huge Igbo population, then they can move to PDP/ANPP, help to get a gov elected and get what they deserve. Simple arithmetic.

sjeezy8:

hey thats enough stop making a mockery of yoruba people- WE KNOW IGBO PEOPLE DONT LIKE ANY NON IGBOS IN IGBOLAND!

lol lets see before easterners came to lagos- if the east has so much swag why did they change the capital from east to Lagos- even the colonialist know Lagos is a hot spot. The brazilians cubans american slave carribeans who were of yoruba extraction knew it. Thats what LAGOS IS BUILT ON. not any east anything no offense, there wasnt any known eastern people in LAGOS before the colonialist came.

The first easertn person people knew about in LAGOS was Zik and thats because of Herbert macauley- a yoruba. Lagos was always hott.

Herbert Macaulay was not a Yoruba. He was of Sierra Leone Creole descent. Do not peddle such lies. He was just raised in Lagos. It is like calling an Igbo raised in Lagos a Yoruba

Macaulay was born in Lagos on November 14, 1864 to Sierra Leone Creole parents. He was the grandson of bishop Samuel Ajayi Crowther and the son of the founder of the first secondary school in Nigeria

Bishop Samuel Ajayi Crowther (c. 1809 – 31 December 1891) was a linguist and the first African Anglican bishop in Nigeria. Born in Osogun(in today's Iseyin Local Government, Oyo State, Nigeria).

Ajayi was 12 years old when he was captured, along with his mother and toddler brother and other family members, along with his entire village, by Muslim Fulani slave raiders in 1821 and sold to Portuguese slave traders. Before leaving port, his ship was boarded by a Royal Navy ship under the command of Captain Henry Leeke, and Crowther was taken to Freetown, Sierra Leone and released.

Crowther was recalled to England, where he was trained as a minister and ordained by the bishop of London. He returned to Africa in 1843 and with Henry Townsend, opened a mission in Abeokuta, in today's Ogun State, Nigeria.

I beg to differ!!! Igbos are a part of Lagos now, they might choose to abandon Lagos later but this time we are in, Igbos are part of Lagos and not a political tool. They can live and build Lagos with the Yorubas as Lagosians all together not Igbos being a political tool. If all the Yorubas in Lagos vote for a particular person in Lagos, that person is the winner. Whether Igbos vote for the person or not doesn't count. On that note I believe Fashola is only recognizing all Lagosians no matter their tribe.

another blunder from you. . .Tinu set the pace since 1999 by appointing an ibo as commissioner while chimaroke appointed a yoruba as special adviser on media in 2006.do the math by yourself

sjeezy8,

Like I said, I don't understand why people like Lagos so much. Calabar is a much more descent place.

Is this topic about Tinubu or Fasola? Are you ok? Liar! Tinubu did not appoint Ben Akabueze in 1999. It was done much later.

~Bluetooth:

NO !!! Just telling you that the trend has been set by tinubu,so chimaroke appointing yoruba afterward is no big deal. .dig it ?

Read your history about the reason they switched it to lagos. Also learn your history. Lagos is where the British kept yoruba slaves, yep slaves in your own land by the british. you wonder why yall have english last names like williams,etc. and the british had a headquarter there. Wheres the proof that Zik was the first easterner people in lagos knew?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samuel_Ajayi_Crowther

Nchara:

It is impossible for yoruba vote alone to make a gov in Lagos, unless Igbos decide not to vote at all. Moreover Yoruba cannot all vote for one party in Lagos  because of political differences whereas Igbos in Lagos can do so because they have nothing to lose

sjeezy8:

dear chyz please do your homework- the british didnt own any slaves in LAGOS. Lagos was a porutguese town the british had nothing in Lagos. When slavery ended the people who came to Lagos were repatriated yoruba free slaves. Who dominated trade in LAGOS.

The british saw how the repats in Lagos were working, how intelligent they were and saw it as a domain into the colonising of un westernized yoruba folks.  LAGOS HAS ALWAYS BEEN A HOT SPOT bro.  

Even the british/portguese knew dat.

9jaganja:

Again I beg to differ. In Lagos, we strongly stand behind one person that we trust!! Obanikoro according to my mom was suppose to be where Fashola is today but he jumped ship I think. But back to what I figured on my own. Yorubas voted AC massively just like they did AD. If all Igbos vote for one person and majority of Yorubas in Lagos vote for another, the one Yorubas voted for is the winner blood. Besides I don't think majority of Igbos voted Fashola. When people heard what Obanikoro did, they were waiting for who Tinubu will come up with. How many people knew Fashola then? Dude, if 70% of Yorubas vote someone in Lagos, it don't matter who the rest vote anymore. Don't make it look like Yorubas are using Igbos as political tool in Lagos, we are making them a part of Lagos!!!

sjeezy8:

ok look I dont wanna argue about dis and dat- Fact remains the same Lagos was hottttt since before's before.

its just a hot spot- no biggie
