Biggest Contradictions Of Lagos Election And Yoruba Politics by Noneroone(m): 10:22pm On Mar 10, 2023
Lagos indigenes are being replaced by migrants from southwest while falsely accusing Igbos of same

No lagos indigene has ever ruled lagos state. Igbos on the other hand are in Lagos for business. However each election cycle throws up a senario where migrants from Osun, ogun etc. accuse fellow migrants from the East of trying to take over another man's land, while these osun and ogun migrants themselves are practically chasing native lagosians out of their land. Southwest migrants are supplanting lagos indigenes while using Igbophobia as a blackmail tool. Igbos are not in an any wrong for supporting whoever they want like any other ethnic group .Moreso, when known Lagos indigenes are supporting LP candidate. while this is not the business of Igbos, stopping or threatening Igbos from voting will be a clear red line. There are Yoruba voters in Portharcourt, Enugu, Onitsha, Owerri, Asaba etc and no one criminalizes their electoral choices. You will not notice it because no one annoyingly reminds them they are being 'hosted'. Any attack on Igbo might trigger a chain reaction that will end this country.

They claim Igbos are the problem but have clashes with Hausas
You hear all sorts of fear mongering conspiracy theory against Igbos in lagos by people from SW but the have constantly clashed with Hausas. If Igbos are troublesome, why are they not fighting with Hausas and yorubas in lagos despite their population and influence? conversely if Yorubas are peaceful, why have they had over twenty bloody clashes with Hausas since 2015 alone in the same Lagos?

Yoruba people want intertribal marriage but fight against the fruit of the union
Most yoruba men i have come across would marry Igbo ladies if given a chance. If this is denied, they would label Igbos Tribalists. Isnt it ironical they are fighting against the product of inter tribal marriage in their land? If Yorubas consider this a threat, then they should prepare for 'worse". The tendency of their elites in entertainment politics, business, academic and religion to marry Igbo women is beginning to bear fruits in the leadership circle. It has happened in Ondo, Osun, even Ogun had a contestant whose wife is Igbo. Therefore Gbadebo's case is not new as even Tinubus son is married to an Igbo. So why do Yorubas like an act but hate the result?

Tinubu's family fight GRV for his Igbo background while making a case with his Igbo wife
This is another contradiction. while Tinubus supporters claim Gbadebo should lose for having Igbo wife and mother, Tinubu's son campaigned that his father should be voted because he has Igbo wife.

Yorubas claim they want Biafra but hates GRV
most yorubas claim they want Biafra so that Igbos will stay in their region. But here they are saying GRV should not be voted for his acclaimed support for Biafra

What do Yorubas want?
