Igbo are not interested in Lagos politics if it's Hausa that has population and resources of Igbo in Lagos by now they will be controlling some Local governments, state Assemble and even Senate.

Ha, this one will regret saying this, should he want to run for a political office, his opponents will just dug this rubbish up

Point out one thing he has said that is against the constitution or the law of nature.

He just spoke the truth. One of the major problems of this country is ethnicity.

The deeper truth is that SE would not have voted Bu.hari no matter where he picked his running mate from. Bu.hari's had picked two SE in the past- Okadigbo in mind. But we voted OBJ because we knew he was miles ahead of a NEPA bill certificate holder. If Stimulation had. Picked from the west, we would have still voted for him.

Now weve all seen what a disaster the country is.
Buhari picked a Yoruba in 2011 also. The reason you didn’t vote for him those times is because he contested under a regional party. Nigeria was a one party state until 2015.

I think this man is just a lackey and political jobber, and most of his statements are tailored to suit his boss Tinubu. However, if you remove the ‘tribal lens’ covering your eyes, Joe Igbokwe has made a lot of sense. The confab report recommended the same thing. As a Nigerian, state of origin should not be an issue where you have been resident for at least 10yrs. And if you decide to contribute and make a positive impact on your immediate environment, your antecedents & capabilities alone should be the determining factor and not if your forefathers were the first settlers on that soil. We can’t continue with the way we have been carrying on, Nigeria needs a total overhaul to survive this century!

Based on the council chairman or deputy context of that particular statement, I think he was talking about local government area or council (you can only be a council chairman or deputy at local govt level); else he would have said governor or deputy of he meant statewide. Implying otherwise would be tantamount to madness, and igbokwe I know won't dare imply such about Lagos. He's unlike the loud-mouthed ones.

Well, I think this is what you inferred from his statement and I kinda agree but some could interpret what he said implying otherwise which would be a shame if that's what Joe actually meant. You know you can't take it away from them to brag about their large numbers and business sagacity.

The average igboman and hubris are like 5 & 6. They've been claiming to 'dominate' Lagos since before independence even. I've told you what I think he meant, even though he didn't express/articulate it clearly enough, but even if he was exaggerating overall igbo population statewide that won't be a new thing coming from an igboman based on their egoistic predisposition. I recall that even Fashola once made a grossly exaggerated statement (during electioneering) about igbo population in Lagos to get their votes, so such statements didn't start today. undecided

. If I become the president of this country, nobody is going to fill form and put his state of origin. That’s the first thing I will do. It is when you take people for who they are that is when they will release their energy for the good of the country. One day, Nigerians will say, we are all Nigerians.

This is the only reasonable thing he said!
State of origin should be abolished and replaced with state of permanent residence!

As it stands "TODAY" in Nigeria, it's better to be dead in Igbo land and be alive in other parts. The political ideology now is anything the Igno's support goes down.

Joe Igbokwe is not saying anything new that we don't know. so i don't know about him making sense. APC, his party is in power, and his political godfather is a major force in the party, so he is in the right position to push this with his party. This how from 1999-2015 election, restructuring of the country was topical to Tinubu group but now what do we have? They have all gone to sleep. We all know what the problems of this country are and the solutions but the political players has used these sentiment and problems to climb the political leadership, and on getting there, they changed or suddenly become silent on major national issues. I trust no politician, even if he is my blood brother.

Joe Igbokwe will soon realise the full implication of being a Bat. In Animal kingdom , Birds think Bat is a mammal and they don't trust him because he doesn't have feathered wings like them. Even mammals also look at him in astonishment because unlike other mammals he fly's . that's why Bats moves at night. Its good he knows that he is a Bat with no ethnic affiliation. Unfortunately for him, there is nothing like a Nigerian without ethnicity.

Which sane human being would support a tinubu presidency?
Is that the name of an animal, place or thing?

And how is Joe igbokwe an igbo man?

Dear Uncle Joe
There is a little wisdom in what you said about State of Origin

It's my opinion that it should also not be put on forms. That is what has given birth to quota system which is one of the problems of this country

The quota system boldly points us to the fact that we are not one and some people are more privileged than the other tribe

Quota system should be abolished. Nothing like EDLS(educationally less developed State) etc

My child from Delta.schools in Zamfara in the same class with Usman who is from Zamfara. My son can't get an admission because he is not from ElDS yet having a far higher score than Usman

And you say we are one

Let's rethink This country can't move forward unless we address this issues

Do we really want to be united? The earlier we answer that question the better

My tots

And you manage to ascertain that because of the eight years of the buhari presidency.
Where was the Yoruba people in 16years?
We would remind you in 2023.
