Unnecessary tension and potential crises.
Why not allow the marketers choose their leaders themselves as done everywhere?

Na their land?

Elemosho478:
The Iyaloja is right though

Only because zombie is ur surname....

Let me tell u...in all markets, thier is a market union and elections are help by all traders..campaigns are done with posters and campaign teams selescted by each contestant..that way market leadership are elected and replaced when their tenure expires...

You are zombie with a B.sc..and cant think until tinubu permits you to think....nonsens!

Any thing that comes from tinubu and his family is generally accepted by the self acclaimed most educated tribe. Tinubu and his family think for all of them, tinubu and his family own Lagos. If ur tribe truly own Lagos, challenge tinubu authority for one day and c d outcome. No wonder fela sang zombie

Tareq1105:



Ipob wants to teach us how to run Lagos.

Ogbeni am Yorùbá, check my history, what is wrong is wrong, I don't care about any Ipob or whatever they are called.

Yorubas are real backward people. The world is moving forward with technology while these cone heads are busy looking for iyanaboja and alibabalowe to install in a tech hub.

Wat is the job of the two mofos appointed if not toutism. A tribe built their culture on toutism. I knw many yorubas living in western worlds will be ashamed of this

You for step up for them now, or go do business for Onitsha.

I have no business to do in Onitsha am more of a lagosian than Iyabo Tinubu Ojo

yemiyemi:


Did i hear you say as done everywhere?...Is it possible for a Yoruba man or woman heading a market in Aba, Onitsha or Imo?...What you people cannot tolerate in your gully erosion ravaged States cannot be replicated here....

If a Yoruba man in Aba or Onitsha has d political clout/popularity or population to head a local govt talk less of a market,nobody will deny him that.
I was in the Hausa quarters in my state capital on Sunday, was only when I offered a younger brother of an old classmate a drink he politely rejected saying he doesn't take alcohol(Though his elder brother does) that I remembered they're Hausa and Muslims.
I mentioned this cos we don't profile ppl according to tribe or religion as a first line in Igbo land
Yoruba full Igbo land doing their thing,nobody notice them or profile them according to tribe.
As for erosion talk,I sympathise with you.
It must be very painful for Igbo ppl to be buying up choice land and properties yoruba land while your ppl have little or no stake in Igbo land.
Endure,try to learn from them or pray to God to make you Igbo in your next life

who are the real indigenous people of Lagos?

a real lagos indigenous person can trace his family lineage in Lagos and family compound, plus we know ourselves no matter what.

capitalzero:


your head is correct. omo yoruba atata ni e. lagos is not a city but state. You cannot expect iyaloja of ile-ife to appoint babalojas or iyalojas for markets in osogbo,ede or ilesa. similarly, iyaloja of oyo town cannot appoint babalojas or iyalojas for markets in ogbomoso, saki etc. it is wrong. it is abuse of power and authority. iyaloja of eko is not iyaloja of lagos. she may be the chairperson or iyalojas and babalojas in lagos but not to controls other markets in lagos.

thank you ooo... If she is the head of an association, that's different, she can act on that ground, but to use the authority that should end at Lagos Island, it's high time other Obas in lagos no matter what class they are step up and tell Akinolu that his iyaloja is encroaching.
What would av being better is if the Obas in those domains choose their own iyaloja and babaloja, they all come together and be under one roof.

Iyaloja and The Computer Village:

I would like to awake a sleeping dog this morning by saying that the voting pattern in the last elections and the "Lagos is no man's land" position of the tribe that dominates this particular market may be contributing factors to this latest move.

So, we cannot totally ignore a political angle to this development!

Afterall, the Yorubas say: if you tarry too long before trimming the branches of an Iroko tree, when it has fully blossomed, you cannot escape its demand for sacrifices.

No doubt, Iyaloja is a Yoruba thing; and this latest move is an indirect way of saying Lagos is indeed someone's land.

Now, the question is: are there Iyalojas in Sabo, Masamasa, Mile 12 markets etc?

I will also like to know the economic and social benefits of this title.

Do you even know the current exco of d market is yoruba and has always been So?
Do you even know most of the big time dealers there are Yoruba?
Do you know d person who led d protest is yoruba?
But people like you see Igbo chasing you in your dreams everyday.

GlorifiedTunde:


What is the abuse or intoxication here?

How do you describe the rude defiance and invective laid by non indigenes calling Lagos "a no man's land"?

Head of all the markets? Hom or Hod Never heard of such ridiculous statement anywhere on the planet. I think iyabo is the one mis informed.


People think Buhari is a dictator bt they haven’t seen Tinubu yet.

Extortionists parading as market leaders, never seen such a lazy bunch in my whole existence.. Tufiakwa!!

masseratti:
This is absolutely wrong, since she was given the title of iyaloja by Ọba Akinolu, she can not enforce her authority over places that are not under the Dominion of Ọba of Lagos, he authority should not go beyond Lagos Island, there is nothing like Iyaloja general, what will the iyoloja of ikorodu, EPE and Badagry now be or do, this is wrong if the state house of assembly passed any law to back this abnormally, the court should be approached, it's high time real indigenous people of Lagos steps in, this their silence and I don't care attitude will keep on costing them their real place in Lagos politics, you can't impose people to be collecting money on your behalf in places that is not under your dominion.

Ipob bastard speaking trash as usual, all places in Lagos is under jurisdiction of oba akiolu

comshots:
Computer village is the most peaceful market in lagos.Besides it reputation for criminal elements that the market leaders fail to curb.Maybe because there is no agbero who are harassing traders for owo Ile .
However, madam,you are enjoying the glory of your father who is the chairman of agbero in lagos.When he is erase,your reign as the iyaloja will cease to exist.

Go lick your wounds ode!

I guess that's why we don't have state government and federal government.

State government n federal government have nothing to do with the issue here. Nigeria is Nigeria, Nobody owns any part. Anyone can live, work n vote anywhere they desire

when a cretin from igbó Ora is talking, we know them, we you are not a lagosian how would you know that everywhere in Lagos is not under Akinolu... He is Ọba of Lagos Island, go to Badagry go and tell Akran that Akinolu has dominion over his land,stop using Ipob is stale.... Am not Igbo, am a Lagosian what Ìyá Mogagi Tinubu did not do in her time should not welcome in Iyabo time, period.

It's quite sad that the kids here jubilating don't own shops or run their businesses in computer village. They talk to spite the Igbos without knowing that no tribe in computer village supports the installation of any iyaoloja in the market.

Computer village is headed by a president (a yoruba man), and a vice ( an Igbo man). There have been a mutual understanding between the 2 major tribes here and things are going on well but the installation of an iyaoloja will spring up 'strange' elements that will come with their own rules and introduction of new fees too and this must brew invasion of touts and series of conflicts once in a while.
We are ok without any Iyaoloja abeg.

I think as the Iyaloja general, she has the power to appoint those Iyaloja you listed above. What do I even know

I don't do low life's like you, am Yoruba and am not a trader, we can't keep on seeing something being done wrong and not condemn it, what she is doing will soon cause greater chaos than we can imagine, imagine choosing a Yoruba babaloja and iyaloja for Fulani ram sellers when they don't sell any ram.

My advice to u is, locate the Lagoon and do the needful.

These protesters are indeed deluded group of people.

Market is market in Lagos. How can that one carrying a placard that says computer village is an ICT hub and not pepper sellers, it's amazing how these guys thinks they can decide what happens in another man's land.

What happens to when in Rome, behave like and obey the Roman laws.

I see. Maybe you will soon get an Iyaoloja for ShopRite. Market is market.

ansa my question and stop talking nonsense, who are the indigenes of Lagos?

luluman:
They keep shouting Lagos is no man's land while owners of the land keep making decisions. Who is now deceiving who?

Yoruba People, una too wicked aswear. After the Igbo's make mouth Online, una come use this one humble them. Either they like it or not, na Iyaloja go rule over them.

Ologogoro:

who gave her the "general authority"?

It was in the hey days of her grandmother the appellation "general" was given to her name mostly by the media, when she was fighting the regime of Babangida, it was even called iyaloja general of Nigeria, would that now make her to appoint market leaders in other states?

Do you have an idea what this means, for the rest of her life she will be collecting money from all the market women in the state, without accounting for it, her decision can increase prices of items anytime she wishes.
