I keep seeing multiple threads of people arguing over Igbo claim to ownership of lagos. This claim is legal and constitutional. No laws are broken by claiming lagos. In fact, that is the spirit of ONE NIGERIA.

1) Nigeria through it decades of military regimes has officially made Nigeria a No Mans land. This is why government technically can do what it pleases with anyones so called ancestral lands.

2) Nigerian government and constitution does not recognize ethnic ownership of land. All lands in Nigeria is held by the federal government.

3) Igboland, Hausaland or yorubaland is not constitutionally recognized. It only exist in our cultural minds

4) It is extremely hypocritical to fight for one Nigeria but get angry when your fellow countrymen claim their joint heritage and possession. THis is their legal right as long as nigeria remains.

Meaning the whole Igboland is no mans land!


No problem!

You are still finding a subtle and acceptable ways to back the folly of the Igbo's concerning Lagos.A lot of things are happening around you that you are aware of but for the stupidity of your lot, cannot decipher the implications. God bless the great Yoruba race.

horsepower101:


This is not subtle. this is plain and simple. MOst importantly, it is the bitter truth.

When people like you sing and dance for one nigeria, this is what you are supporting.

zenmaster:

@ Lot13
Shun tribalism and support one Nigeria

horsepower101:
Some people want to eat their cake and have it.

You cannot have it both ways. It's either we are one Nigeria or we are not.

liberalsinnerx:
Don't mind Afonjas....confused hypocritical things. The most tribalistic set of things I have ever seen in my life. They want One Nigeria yet opposes basic tenents of One Nigeria.

horsepower101:


Thats why I laugh at them when they pour hatred towards IPOB but cry that igbos are everywhere in lagos buying up their ancestral land. Confused bunch.

zenmaster:
Go and contest for anambra Governor

liberalsinnerx:


That's why they are avoiding this thread like ghosts. The best way to deal with Afonjas is with the truth; they will run like devils avoiding light.

horsepower101:


Don't mind them. Deep down in their hearts, they know the truth. They just like to pretend. It's engraved in their culture.

horsepower101:


Sometimes I wonder if these folks have brain cells. They support one nigeria but don't want to deal with the consequences.

Danladi7:

You mean you dont agree with the OP or what?

pryme:


Sometimes I wonder if there is a hidden stupity contest on Nairaland,
Have you ever heard of the word "Indigenes" of a state?
Pls check your job application forms again (if you have one) and see if you were asked which is your state of origin.

If indeed we don't have boundaries and the States that don't have owners, then by all means a Fulani man can come to Imo, Abia, Anambra, or Ebonyi and contest for governorship, heck he can even become a traditional ruler in this states.

zenmaster:
I agree 200%

horsepower101:


Yes I have heard indigenes of state but I have never heard indigene of ethnic group. State is not equal to ethnic group. So many states have multiple ethnic groups living in it.

The first ELECTED mayor of Enugu was a fulani man. He was elected by Igbos.

pryme:


Yes you are right, going by what you said that's means a Fulani man can be an Indigene of Abia state, is that it?

zenmaster:

Pryme is looking for any excuse to practice bigotry

pryme:


And what do I have to gain by that? You ppl just don't know when you have crossed the line.
If you are a land lord or you inherited a land from from your ancestors, then a group of ppl wake up one morning and start saying your land is "no man's" land how will you handle it?

If reminding people like you that states have owners, that makes me a bigot, so be it.

If I buy a land from you or your family member and made all the required payment, that land now belongs to me and my future generation. This is part of being one Nigeria.

At least Igbos pay for the land no matter the price but fulanis kill the indigenes of the land and take over it forever.

pryme:


OK, and what if your inherited the land? Does it make a "no man's land"?
Do I have the right the claim it?

As for the Fulanis they can't try that in the south, they won't see their bones.
