Nchara: stop telling lies igbos are less than 10% of lagos.  Even if go to the school school, this is how you know.
Nchara: Igbos are traders, because they own shop that why they look conspicious then bendle people.

[s]You can go online and look for any school in lagos, with the list of Old boys. You would find out Yorubas are over 75% of the population of lagos and followed by the Bendle people.



If you dont believe me go to any school.

Even in Ajegunle all of the school have more Yorubas. I dare any Newspapers to confirm this story.

Even apart from Ifelodun and Ojo local govt, the other local govt have few Igbos. Igbo tend to live around the same area, and it is in this two local govt.

So even if Fashola has to consider any position at the moment, He has to give to bendle people because he gave the last one to Igbo people. The problem they have is, they have too many ethnics group, isoko,kwale, Uhrobo etc. Stop telling lies.[/s]

Igbos use to live in lagos before the creation of Abuja. Even el rufia said so, the igbos moved in mostly to abuja. You would be shock by the number of igbos in abuja. most of them use to live in lagos.

Even the last time I came to lagos, i was asking people what happen to igbos in lagos, where did they go. I was told they all moved to abuja.

tpiah:

^^if you're igbo then of course you'll only hang out in areas with a high concentration of igbos.

so quit assuming things.

that's like someone going to houston or new york and saying only nigerians live there.

That why I provide  you link to see old student. the truth hurt. Go to facebook and research it.

chyz:

you are lying about lagos. I just came back from lagos last year,january and i swear i heard igbo being spoken at almost the same rate as yoruba and in sum places i heard more igbo. STOP LYING!. however you are correct that there are alot of igbos in abj. tho but they all did not move there from lagos.

~Bluetooth:

and where is the truth in what you just wrote. . . .have you ever seen lagos conductors calling their passengers in ibo language ? where did you go that you see most residents speaking ibo than yoruba ? Lwkmd

~Bluetooth:

Can you imagine, How is it a bad example?
The point of contact to assess spoken language in lagos is  mostly in the markets and at motorparks because of the large amount of people that patronise this system daily.how can you pick a resident to judge a population of 15 million people.are people so dumb '?

Nchara:

Half of Unilag students are Igbo students. Many Igbo profs there too. Same for Lasu (state university) and Yabatech. Then more half the traders and business men are Igbo. That makes it more than 50%. Chikena. Fasola is smart and use the Igbo population well.

chyz:

Plz go back and modify what you just wrote before i embarrass you on this forum. Your logic and what you just typed makes no sense at all. im going to give you the reasonable doubt that you made minor mistake but go back and read what you have typed.

sjeezy8:

All I know is in Lagos the only people speak their native language amongst eachother But urhobo, ijaws, igbos fulanis-hausas, calabar people all speak yoruba for the most part.

Even in the BBC welcome to Lagos- the man the lived in the river was from the Niger delta and was speaking yoruba married yorubas like noooo tomorrow, or even the igbo guy who was speaking yoruba to his wife.

which would let one know Aside from english yoruba is the second largest language.

~Bluetooth:

will you google this too for  a reliable source because your matter dey tire memodify what ? Most of those people are yoruba or what are you pointing out ? By the way,how many people did you make contact with to arrive that more people speak ibo than yoruba ? Dont mention ajegunle,please

Nchara:

Igbo language is even taught at Unilag. Who are the students there?

Good. Now tell your brother bluetooth that Yorubas arent the only ones that speak Yoruba in lagos

becomrich3:

It is hard for you to find an Uhrobo man or isoko or edo man who has lived in Lagos for 20 years and does not speak yoruba. But you would find many igbos who do not. They refuse to assimilate with the society.

becomrich3:

Yorubas are are nearly 90% not even what I said. I just do not want to sound bias. Other ethnics in lagos tend to speaker Yorubas, like the uhrobo,isoko, edo and others.   It is only the igbos that have refused to change. It is hard for you to find an Uhrobo man or isoko or edo man who has lived in Lagos for 20 years and does not speak yoruba. But you would find many igbos who do not. They refuse to assimilate with the society.


100%  of Uhrobo, isoko ,edo etc children born in lagos all speak yorubas as thier first languages. But even if an igbo person was born in lagos. they would not speak Yoruba, even if they understand it. mostly among the Igbo men. but 100% of Uhrobo, isoko ,edo  born in lagos or have lived in lagos for many year speak very good yoruba. And most time never speak thier languages. You cant even tell, when Uhrobo, isoko ,edo  etc are speaking Yoruba, expect they tell you . They are the one I believe Fashola should reward because of population.

Nchara why have the Igbo refuse to  assimilate with Lagos. I have a friend, who was born in Lagos. Never been to Igboland, but does not speak yoruba.
