See how they all lun away like rats

Don’t mind them. We will use drone very soon to map those markets if they don’t stop boasting.

Wike no wan hear say he no win.

Only if you know the process to replace Nigeria passport when you don’t have the old one. Frustration and requirements plus money go frustrate you!

The Lion called a meeting of all the animals in the forest and proclaimed...."all animals young and old shall prosper as long as you understand and acknowledge that, I, Lion am king of this Jungle..."

All are welcome but Lagos is Yoruba Land. This is an incontrovertible fact.

The inability to grasp this simple concept may have cost GRV his electoral aspiration.

Igbo voters apparently have short memories. Two weeks ago Lagosians turned out en-masse and cast their presidential votes in favour of Peter Obi, Igbo's voted for him because, well...he is Ibo and Yorubas voted for him too because quite frankly they had had enough of Tinubu and wished to send him a message, and heavens forbid Atiku ever becomes president! For a brief moment it seemed all Lagosians were on the same page united by a common will and then.... Igbo voters changed their tune, the Presidential numbers had barely been announced in Obi's favour before the mood soured, emboldened and giddy by Obi's narrow win in Tinubu's backyard, old tropes began to surface and trend...."Lagos is a no man's land" "we developed Lagos" "we are going to capture Lagos" e.t.c.

The Igbo electorate in Lagos mistook what was essentially a Yoruba protest vote against Tinubu and negated the fact that the presidential vote for Obi comprised a sizeable Yoruba vote. It was not the tidal wave of Igbo mass votes that could bring about a landslide in local or Gubernatorial elections. The numbers were simply never there.

Into this toxic mix steps GRV, a gubernatorial contestant of no known antecedents beyond a double-barrelled surname and a mixed heritage. Ordinarily, his mixed heritage should have stood him in good stead aferall, he is of Yoruba and Igbo blood. What could have been better in a state as diverse as lagos? But GRV seemingly went out of his way to malign, alienate and disparage an important segment of the electorate that he professed he wished to govern, his campaign was deemed divisive and dismissive of the Yoruba electorate who were already suspicious of a Non-Yoruba speaking twice failed political lightweight.

On 18th March the bubble burst. Igbo voters felt the full electoral wrath of their seething Yoruba neighbors, miscreants took to the streets, ballot boxes were snatched Igbo voters suppressed and heads were cracked, it was a visceral if shameful expression of determinism by badly educated and ill-informed thugs. However, it was less about voting (GRV was never going to win) but more about sending a message, a reminder if you will, lessons delivered lessons learnt.

All of this said, the Igbos and Yorubas endure, they are merely two sides of the same coin. They represent the most progressive aspect of the nation, and Igbo's are capable of incredible kindness to their Yoruba brethren when the mood takes them and vice-versa. It is the entrepreneurship and economic gravitas of both peoples that has developed Lagos into one of the largest economies in Africa, neither side can afford fratricide The wounds are never deep, we fight and argue one day and the next day we are going to owambe's, long may that continue.

The Yorubas are a fair people, it is well understood in the proper circles that taxation without representation is a recipe for disaster, but, there is a process and there are niceties to observe. One day surely, an Igbo man ..or woman, fully competent, engaging charismatic and respectful of the norms of Lagosians will be governor of Lagos state voted for by the majority of Lagosians simply because he /she is the best person for the job, why? because, that is what we do in Lagos and we will be all the better for it.

But remember, Lagos is Yoruba land and all shall prosper.

Make your region enviable first before trying to run for position in Lagos. You can’t convince us with words. We work with action.

For what? There are economists and top financiers who will manage those positions. We can’t afford to get it wrong this time. Tinubu has a wealth of technocrats who have managed Lagos. They will succeed nationally. Tony can be a board of Director.

NIGERIA IS A FATHER LAND NOT A MOTHER LAND.






YOU DONT ANSWER YOUR MOTHER NAME BUT YOUR FATHER NAME.





EVEN YOUR MOTHER CHANGE HER NAME TO HER HUSBAND NAME.

He’s half Anambra and Half Lagos. He has every right to be a Governor in Anambra state. What are you saying?

Why are they so hostile at the idea? Is he not their son too? Why all this anger for God’s sake?

Ask your Benin people make dem come show you the land their father left them in Lagos. Make dem go Court go drag am.

Vote4Obi:
Making Lagos irrelevant can even happen more swiftly. With afcta, focus is no longer on ECOWAS but the entire African continent. So, Lagos is no longer strategically located.

A city where 90% of its inhabitants will gladly abandon if they find alternative is nothing to brag about.

Abeg, make it irrelevant. Move tonight. We don tire. We wan the city to be irrelevant.

Thank God. We are now back to normal. Biafra or death! Lmao.

searchng4love:

searchng4love:
Yoruba people na Igbo miscreants husband.

Na we fit them. Dem don de misbehave for years. We just de watch. Take all their insults. Now smal sample, they are crying. Blackmailing, weeping. Opening 100 threads a minute. Threatening to not participate in census to punish us but come back to Lagos immediately after. Lmao! Like a stubborn wife. We are tired of them.

galaxy2020:
Important message to igbos on nairaland

Very good for Seun . Seun that is an obedient. Nobody help Obedient pass Seun. They are now attacking him. Lol.

kcnwaigbo:
Which yeye army officer? I watched videos where our people dealth severely with your thugs.

You can however use army officer to console yourself

Ok.

Lmaooooo! They love the victim angle die! But na dem go first throw first punch.

kcnwaigbo:
But they almost killed your brother in Okota

That was an army officer. By the way, where is Ijeoma? She’s wanted plus all the persons who killed the guy. It’s death sentence ooo.

PointB:
So you don't even know anyone who has called Lagos No Man Land offline? So you clowns were just reacting emotionally to banters? I thought they said you guys were smart? Look at how one old fragile agbado munching king of urchin used your head?

Wow. Truly, Yorubas are overrated. Can you imagine what these clowns did to their own people because some faceless people were calling Lagos No Man's Land.

The idiots cannot no mention single name to blame, just some random internet bots. For these online bots, yorubas are ready to disown their children, insult their fathers, and assault their brothers. Because one unknown entity called Lagos No Man's Land.

I though this day willl never come; a day Yorubas in their huge numbers turned to emotional zombies, and descend into the abyss of barbarism.

What I have seen, I cannot unsee. I have seen petty people; clannish tribesmen in their unclothedness. I cannot unsee.

You get mental problem. Me don tire for you. First go outside and say it. No need for all this long story.

bayelsaowei:
what's your production status for lagos? Please tell me...

I have read it in the news.. but how economical is it? Can you compare it to just even an oil field In of the states in the niger delta?

You say you be ND but no know we get oil. Lmao. My guy please abeg, go and reopen your IPOB name.

PointB:
I have followed the cherished tradition of shouting Lagos is No Man's Land online. If you have the name of anyone reputable, who has said so offline show me so that I can study them and follow such.

If you can't not give me the name, then you are the coward here for failing to go and burn a market or attack Igbos, because I called Lagos No Man's Land onlne.

Guy you are just ranting online. Like I said, the people that will deal with you to knock and activate your brain are outside. If you are the man you say you are, say it outside. Otherwise no mention me again! I no de engage cowards.

bayelsaowei:
I am from bayelsa. I am ijaw..

I am just shocked at your childishness..

because you call yourself Bayelsaowei. But don’t know we also have oil? Abeg. Let everywhere else in Nigeria develop make everybody rest.

Iamgrey5:
You should have kept your choice to yourself and not announce it.

Being a celebrity only attracted undue attention to you.

But it's quite unfortunate what happened to you

You should have also addressed some of the hate thrown at Yorubas before the election date.

You should have attempted to separate yourself from the hate campaign against Yorubas.

Don’t mind them. Always clever by half. Thing everybody no get memory like them. Always playing victim. Mad people.

otuomasirichi:
Tinubu will be worst than Saddam Hussain

Na so! He won, he will finish his mandate.

bayelsaowei:
tired of companies and renowned establishments..but not tired of agberos, thugs and killers...

Guy, IPOB, leave that thing. Just carry all your wahala de go! You don blackmail, we not want again. Thanks.

PointB:
Genocide. Do you think it's easy to kill a man? Have you done so before? Well as you have turned Lagos to battle ground, let's roll. Useless emotional thugs living in No Man's Land feeling funky.

See you are a coward if you don’t go outside and say it. The people who have your time are outside not under your mothers bed. Go outside, say it and even carry gun to fight. We go see the scores.
