This is the problem. Africans want to act educated but are quick to forget education requires the application of the whatever knowledge one has.

How does the mega-city affect the reality of African lands owned by people with centuries of ancestral ties to the land fit into the Western context of mega-cities where there were no cultures on ground? Isn’t this a recipe for militancy, conflicts and a possible war as witnessed in many other African countries where cultural realities were subsumed?

Oh, so you want the Eko people to have their own culture obliterated for your Nigerian project & in order that Hausa & Yiibos can continue to travel into a ‘Mega City’?

You’re tripping man. There’s such a thing called applied knowledge, take this Western ideas & apply them within the bounds of your realities.

Lagos would have been multi-cultural if the cultures you included were all ancestrally part of Lagos - the cultures you have in mind are migrant cultures. These migrants cultures met a culture on ground and these migrant cultures are heavily limited & regulated by the culture on ground. This is why Eko people can do Oro & tell you to stay indoors but your Yiibo or Hausa culture can not tell the Eko people to stay indoors for your own ritual ceremony or festival. Lagos is not a ‘multi-cultural city’, it has its own culture and sadly, it is Yoruba and this is what the indigene through the state house, the Governor & the Obas wre trying to push inorder for folks like you to understand and respect. It is like saying because Moscow, Bangkok, Mumbai, Guangzhou are multi-cultural because there are migrant cultures there. See your logic?

Thank me later.

Keep calm and support one Nigeria

Stupid, second language NOT first.

All Yoruba speak our national Yoruba as second language but we revert to our dialects as first when we can.

This is the case with Ogu people.

Step up your comprehension.

They don't even know that there is a general Yoruba language and dialects.

Indeed, the 1966 pogrom tells a different story.

They can fish Yiibos out if they really have to. They have done it several times before. They know you & we all can identify each other by appearance alone - in your case, your flat head

I see and the Yorubas where granted safe passage to oshogbo , keep deceiving yourself, you must be what the igbos call Yoruba muslim

I never have and I never will.

I admired NK and what he stood for regardless of the insults & comments made towards my folks. Things he said were real but as usual, most of my folks left the man’s message & focused on the insults — I do not blame them, Yiibos pushed many to that point of pettiness.

Interestingly some of the things the man said have happened in the past & some are still happening.

Many may not admit it but Nigeria or should I say Buhari’s government works very hard with things happening almost on a daily basis to make Nnamdi Kanu a martyr if they have killed him.

Lewwwl some of us read, we have gone through records of the 1966 pogrom in primary & secondary text sources. We know how many of you were killed in large numbers and flocked with your luggages on your head to the east. We have seen this time and again in recent years but rather than trekk this time, you folks have innoson, Ifesinachi & such providing buses to move you folks quickly.

The soil of Northern Nigeria reeks with the blood of Hausas killed by the Fulani in the Jihad & it is followed closely by the blood of numerous Yiibos that have been subjected to taregt practice whenever there’s a free for all.

Show me the "text sources" where Yoruba population in the north was speared, here is on text of ethnic violence in the north, "aftermath of 2011 election" where Jonathan


"The protesters started burning tires, and the protests soon turned into riots. The rioting quickly degenerated into sectarian and ethnic bloodletting across the northern states. Muslim rioters targeted and killed Christians and members of ethnic groups from southern Nigeria,"

LMAO.

I used the word pogrom severally with ‘66 (1966) as the dating. How that culminates into 2011 to you is something I find difficult to fathom.

My words went over your head obviously.

In simpler terms, I have never been a proponent of one Nigeria. I agreed to some of NK’s ideas because we both wanted the same things, Nigeria splitting or going regional.

You want to be spoon fed. I will make you do a little work for the free knowledge.

Go to books.google.com, type in pogrom 1966. You can either run through excerpts from the list of books or open & them one after the other.

If you want primary source, visit the National Arhives.

Is this what yoruba medium education causes,
mbire The burden of proof is on you since you made the claim.

You can learn Yoruba or go to other schools. There are 35 other states with schools and even in Lagos, there are federal schools you can attend.

And coming from a northerner whose people speak Hausa even in federal offices, you are too bold for a malu. How many people have you killed today? O ga oo, even Malu wants to talk.

FriendNG:
Not really a good idea. Yoruba language is now prerequisite for admission into Lagos State owned tertiary institution. So someone not from Yoruba State is not expected to take Yoruba language in waec. So in the case he chooses LASU or any other State higher institution of learning, that make him/her automatically disqualified.

You people have continued to rely on Yoruba for your education since the days of Ajayi Crowther, yet you’ll come on the internet and blow steam like Yoruba are your equals in anyway.

You have a brain, eyes, fingers & internet. Put all of them to use.

O se jare omo iya! These people still think we are playing with them.

O se! News like this brightens my day. We need to move Alaba and Ladipo to almost past Ibadan or Ore side, and have high rise buildings put in those places for Yoruba youths as part of DAWN priority project for indigenous people. These people couldn't hate us more than they have already. Yoruba has been the only egalitarian community but as we can see, the only thing we got from it is ridicule. We must change.

Y0ruba:


I have no time to get petty.

Petty trade does not equal Lagos economy domination.

And your petty trades will soon be neutralised by moving it to locations with difficulty of access and not only that with high side rent payments which will result in a good number of you dispersing from Lagos.

Watch.

Baba it will eventually happen.

Lagos knows these people invite bus loads of their people to serve as apprentices mostly or to come sell stuff in traffic.

The government has slowly choked the traffic ‘commerce’ and will eventually move their major markets to the extremes of Lagos under environmental or infrastructural excuse - of course they will follow their petty trade to these extremes and depopulate the central areas of Lagos. The deathblow will be, the new market sites will be heavily regulated with high rent rate and group economics influenced allotments which will eventually force them to gradually leave Lagos.

They certainly will not be able to return to traffic trade which is mostly illegal and their monopoly on their businesseses will be broken up, thereby encouraging Yoruba indigenes of Lagos & Yoruba non-indigebes to take up spaces they leave behind.

The eko indigenes identified by their idile have created numerous fora to take back the politics of the state from non-Yoruba & non-Eko Yoruba especially. They are slowly working out taking back their state totally.

Lagos owners starting from the palace on the island to other core palaces in the 4 divisions of Lagos saw how Fashola’s direct approach played out, they are now employing a more subtle but legal approach that will yield nasty results.

It is a process baba, the coming months/years will be a very interesting one.

Wooah! Loving it, I can't wait to stop hearing these people about Lagos. I was told it has always been like that even with Azikwe too during the colonial days, they said Zik couldn't believe his eyes when he saw Lagos and was obsessed with it. The old man was shocked that Yoruba had already built a bustling city while his own people were still dancing with monkeys on trees. Some even said, Lagos was the reason Azikwe didn't want independence in 1957. I'm mama btw.

Oh, apologies ma.

Yes, their obsession with Lagos didn’t start today.

Azikiwe threw fits and played several cards to ensure Lagos was cut away from Yoruba during the constitutional conferences. He went as far as telling the North that didn’t want to be bothered to vote against inclusion of Lagos back into Yoruba land because then they would not have access to the sea. He literally scared the North to his side in order that Lagos can continue as a separate colony and then he can overrun it with his clannish ilks.

The man left his Anambra enclave and came to vie for a public office in Lagos. Of course he won, the Yoruba people didn't say a word but made sure he couldn’t get into the house. The man left in frustration and went back to his East.

They are seriously obsessed with Lagos. To the average Yiibo, ‘Legus’ is like Venice and I wonder why because Yoruba in other parts of the Southwest who are geographically closer and culturally similar to those of Lagos do not seems to be crazy about the Lagos. It is funny o.
