bruv you place too much emphasis on bravery. such traits would be lauded in 1920 or even 1940 lmao. these days all it takes is a bullet to rip through your chest and you are dead. bravery holds no water in this our day and age cuz when it comes down to it, its a question of who can shoot straight. so yorubas prefer to live peacably with all men. this is a very laudable trait. all that jostling for machismo points and trying to prey on others weakness is a sign of someone who hasnt tamed their animal side. but i can guarantee you that when it all goes down, the bravest man will be who can shoot straight and not who appears brave in non-conflict domestic situations

Our parents(old Yoruba folks) seem to love ibos so much.

My father has evicted all the tenants who barely owed him or were proving stubborn on some issues but has left the only ibo tenant who has not paid his rent since the first payment he made when he moved in about 4yrs agos. He still enjoys free light and water.


If I cant chase ibos out of Lagos, cant I at least throw this jobless ibo man out of my father's house?

Never! My parents would have none of it. They keep giving me all forms of excuses/reasons why I should let him be.
Yet he wont stop boasting about how ibos are this and that.

It's his type that will get to the east and regale his folks with lies about how he owns mansions in Lagos bla bla bla

It's we young Yoruba folks that will have to keep the ibos in check.

That said, I usually regret my online statements after one on one dealings with ibos. I just cant imagine raising a finger against them directly or indirectly.
But I must say, ibos are the cause of the hate they experience especially online as a result of their empty boasting and chest beating, loud mouths and sacrilegious request and empty threats.

Ibos are no threat. Yorubas are warier of the Hausa/Fulani than they are of ibos.

Lol, I wasn't alluding to that type of bravery, bredrin. However, you always need a level of machismo and whatever other trait you've, in a competitive environment, to maintain a balance, and earn respect. From the outside looking in, these folks don't respect the Yorubas. C'mon, how can you even question the fact that indigenous people speak their own language - and celebrate a tradition that's part and parcel of the land and their culture? That's just unacceptabl

There's absolutely nothing laudable in being weak, and turning into serfs on your ancestral land.

Regarding the counorship position, the Yorubas there would have elected the ibo man with an open mind and the ibo man must have Yorubanised himself so much so that it would be difficult to tell. He may have a Yoruba wife,mum,speak Yoruba fluently etc.

Also,the Yorubas there are most likely unaware of ibos and their boastful utterances and tendencies albeit empty on NL.

I said ibos would never be allowed to hold elective positions in Lagos politics. Tinubu gave ibos 2 irrelevant political appointments only. No elective slots!

So, it's basically a case of Egyptians vs. Jews Hyskos, no?

It has to start with the people at the top. If they can't give an inch of their own lands (heck, they have intra-ethnic squabbles over lands. So I don't even know how they will give outsiders an inch, to be honest) - why should Yorubaland be sacrificed for a non-existent country, that only exist on paper?

When all the ethnic groups start demanding their own part of Yorubaland to lord over, I h

My fore fathers formed a country called Biafra and they were made to capitulate and embrace one Nigeria by your fore-fathers. It was a famous victory, and it is now my duty, as an Igbo man, to protect one Nigeria. Integration is important for one Nigeria. Integration implies being able to vote or be voted for in any part of Nigeria.

I have told you that you must remove the idea of domination from your head. Nobody intends to do that. You shame the efforts of your fore-fathers when you reason like that. If Igbos were as domineering as you implied, then I don't think your fore-fathers would have deemed it fit to fight for a United cause.

Remarkable:


You consider the commissioner's position an irrelevant position?

I beg to differ: he gets his budget, appoints his own assistants, and overlooks the entire ministry (of finance, budgeting ro whatever title it was) in the state... and you say it is irrelevant?

How?

I see you are now differentiating elective and appointed positions ... I, as an Igbo residing in Lagos, will be happy to participate in either - whether appointment or elected position.

That's why the clowns published it.

The letter is doing them more harm than good because it has increased ibo resentment among hitherto moderate, unsuspecting Yorubas. Which is good!

SirShymex:


You start with policies, thus making everything quintessentially Yoruba. Including areas supposedly dominated by folks from other groups. Build estates there, and mix everything up. And there should be foot soldiers who can be switched on/off to maintain control. Also with the population - they might have to start luring more Yorubas from other states to Lagos, to maintain overwhelming majority.

Accommodate folks but don't give them too much space, to the extent that they will start questioning ya language and traditions on ya own lands.

SirShymex:


You mean the same Fashola I saw begging after cows changed hands? - hysterical. Hopefully, he'll also apologise to the Northerners he deported last week, or so.

Heck, the selected Ondo guy is already on the same path. That's why I have a problem with these folks, and their continuous selection of Yorubas from other states to rule Lagos. It just seems these folks don't care that much.

Just because emirates bought arsenal stadium does not mean london shd become a political annex of uae. an investment is just a source of revenue to the investor

(nothing peronal or cultural)

If u have 500000 dollars or pound u can be come a citizen of any country, but not a political priviledges but a resident


For business anyone can do business in lagos that shd be the case every where but culturally and historically it can never be a no mans land.

Nigeria's unity is a settled issue. UNITED WE STAND, DIVIDED WE FALL. We are Nigerians and Nigeria is ours. Every single part of Nigeria belong to NIGERIANS.

Those that sow the seed of discord in the name of ethnic plurality and religious fundamentalism will be defeated by the hard earned unity of Nigeria. Souls were avoidably lost in a regrettable civil war to sustain the unity of this great nation. The loss of those souls must not be in vain.

LAGOS STATE aka EKO aka LAS GIDI is a reflection of Nigeria's strength and unity. Lagos was created as a gathering point of NIGERIANS from every nook and cranny of our beautiful nation. In Lagos state, it is difficult to differentiate people based on their ethno religious nationality. LAGOS IS OWNED BY NIGERIANS. The tribal homogeneity of Lagos disappeared with the end of the civil war and the declaration of NO VICTOR, NO VANQUISHED.

Those of you threatening mayhem against Igbos are not aware of how complicated the task will be. You don't understand that Nigeria's unity supersedes spurious ethnic claims. What you seek has been settled decades ago. IT CAN NEVER, I repeat, IT CAN NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN. The moment you start it is the moment you will face the wrath of the Living and the Dead.

NIGERIA WAS SIGNED AND STAMPED WITH BLOOD. YOU HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO DUMP YOUR ETHNIC BIGOTRY AND ACCEPT EVERY NIGERIAN AS YOUR BROTHER OR SISTER IRRESPECTIVE OF TRIBE.

what you think this is Beirut or something ? brother you done lost your gaddem mind. i thought you was coming up with some plan. this here you are coming up with is not workable. i was expecting you to say all the land belongs to the yoruba govt and will be leased at 50 year periods and the lease can be revoked if it is deemed necessary. this way you can make people feel very comfortable. you dont need all that gestapo technique you brought up. but then you are still in control. see ? everyone is at ease but you are still in control. that ya method aint passing the mustard test buddy

Fashola never begged! They came to his office and he apologised for their misunderstanding of his motive behind the deportation.

Ambode was invited by the ibos. They even gave him an office free!

It's the ibos that keep kissing up to Lagos leaders' asssses.
You'll be surprised how much these ibos will contribute to Ambode's campaign.

However, they'll come over and tell us the opposite boastfully,how they'll never support the APC candidate and other trash!

All the lands are mine ... you say it as if it is a way of terminating the entire population of Igbos in Lagos...

so lets say an Igbo man bought land in 1990 and in 99 years... will your brother still be governor and commissioner?

wouldn't it be full hearty of you to say that you know for sure who will be governor/commissioner in 60 years time and such a person will evacuate all Igbos...

Listen, Igbos can not be eradicated from Lagos... its not possible. Even if they are renters (and you cant say all Yoruba renters will exclude Igbos as tenants( will not be tribalistic...

The sooner we evolve as a people and state, the better for us all and the country.

P.S. if you want to be progressives, why exclude others from political participation in Lagos?

I don tire...default.

My Yoruba brother(Governor/commissioner) will reclaim the few ibo owned lands when the leases expire.

are you kidding when you say some of the things you post on here?

for example, collecting all the lease when they expireFor now, I'll enjoy the heavy land use charge you pay.
