@beaf,
i am from imo state just to inform u of how igbo i am. if anyone in lagos is thinking about influencing the politics in lagos under the umbrela of ohanaeze ndigbo, that one shld first of all tell u how influential the ohanaeze ndigbo has been in the politics of the eastern states.
how has the so-called ohanaeze ndigbo influenced the choice of governors in the igbo states?
charity they say begins at home and not in lagos.
the bible say, love your neighbour as yourself not more than urself.
there is no active ohanaeze and they as long as i am concerned, have never ever made a influential move in the history of our existance at least not of anyone i know.
what they are trying to do is giving out what they do not have and that is another great impossibility.
the igbo states are the worst states in the country politically, economically and security wise.
let the ohanaeze if there is any go back and put their house in order before coming to make noise in an organised and improved lagos state.

step1:

This is why I do not like fashola and tinubu or even ACN. When an awori or even other yorubas from other states are not yet represented, then an ibo man will come and give conditions for there votes (very annoying). If you people keep voting for ACN then I am sure we yorubas will no longer be relevent again in lagos and nigeria. All this diplomacy and love we show to igbos are not done in other parts of the country eg awka ibom, delta, balysea, kogi, kano and co
this states do not allow ibos in there carbinent, then why did fashola or tinubu allowed an ibo man to be a commissioner, is that not stu.pid and silly of ACN.
Certainly Acn is not getting my vote.

Seriously it is becoming worrisome that most Yorubas -no longer their grand-father's and father's now even the exposed educated young ones, are developing envy and deep antagonism for Igbos and their achievements and benignant aspirations.

What crime has Igbos committed? That a mazi Uche made a disparaging comment IMO I think is out of place, Lagos might b for the Yorubas or awori but as long as we exist as a Nigeria any individual who has spent 15 years in Lagos has same unalienable  right as Tinubu and his children. Thats the constitution for u.

Yorubas shd b happy to hv Igbo working and living amongst them. Igbos strive to hv a decent live wherever the live of which entails paying good money for a good apartment, even building their own house and living amicably with the locals, contributing immensely for any community projects etc.

Now u can't say same for Hausa or even the Yoruba, living outside their states. In Owerri for instance u get these aboki's living in the state for 20 years with millions of cash in their possession making good decent profit from their money exchange business yet they wud not think abt merely renting a house wud rather sleep on a mat in their squlid mosque or business encampment despite having married and with 6 - 8 children ooh.

Now the Yorubas, in kaduna for instance, in Nigerian breweries, despite having a greater numba of Yorubas working there and occupying the cream money spilling positions yet all the Yoruba I knew who worked there over 25, none had a house of his own, they only rented. While the Igbo in that same company even earning lesser cash most live or are building their own houses in southern kaduna- developing the area, improving the value of the land for the locals and ultimately increasing the their earnings from land sale. Provide job for the locals who wud do the building related jobs, security and house help.
     

T9ksy:

. . . . . . and what's your point, exactly?

ayubam:

Whatever good you think is in your tribe, same is reproduced in other tribes. So, if there is anything to say, be objective and fair and do not stand in an exalted position that your tribe is better than others. We are too joined together to fight. If we separate today, I do not have problem with that but not with these present mindsets. What will happen to longstanding inter tribal marriages and the children from such unions with this level of hatred always shown on this forum.

Objectivity is my point and not tribal supremacy. Clear?

~Bluetooth:

Who cares about ibo votes in yorubaland ? Abeg make them give am to pdp !

dayokanu:

Or APGA since they have 95% of the Lagos population, they should win easily

dayokanu:

Why wait for him to finish the term? Why cant you take over right away

Chyz*:

After fashola finishes his next term, you yorubas can kiss lagos goodbye.

Aigbofa:

And you wonder why Northerners wants an Nyaminri free North.
Seriously, you guys are your own worst enemy.

excanny:

All these Afonja internet loud-mouth warriors sef.

You really have a lot of sleep to lose if this 45% modestly given by Tinubu is casting their votes. I really pity una sha.

T9ksy:

. . . . . and you know what you can do with your "pity".
[i]Hell, that's why the abokis slaughters them at the drop of a "koran"!!!
