The much taunted slang "Lagos is a no man's land", is a friendly remark some Igbos have been using casually for decades to show how welcoming Lagos is to all manner of people, and how Lagos is a home for all

Na here I see day craze dey worry the writer of this nonsense.

I stopped reading here.
Poorly crafted nonsense.

Why are some of you people denying yourself the free gifted senses?

Isn't it delusional to be thinking if having solutions to others problems while you are just clueless to solve yours?

Had you people channelled your energy on how to make your region's, your people would have stayed put in the region without seeking greener pastures outside their region.

Acclaimed educated region where illiterate youths are locking their grandpa and grandma at home every Monday.

If you have an inch of that gifted sense,you will know that any Nigerian can choose to reside in any part of the country he chooses.

The last time the Igbo people wanted to leave you for good,you went to war and forced them back to continue to remain part of your country,so please,make use of your free given senses,thank you very much

Many Yorubas have been ignorantly listening to some of their big political bigots in APC that Igbos have a hidden agenda to take over Lagos from Yorubas through politics. Unfortunately, many gullible Yorubas believe these unscrupulous, callous and careless politicians in APC and this is already heating up Lagos and may lead to a xenophobic attack against Igbos in Lagos by the Yorubas, and of course the Igbos will definitely fight back and this may snowball into something bigger than we all imagined if not brought under control now through honest and adequate information.


APC is gradually becoming a dangerous political party, especially the Lagos branch of APC as they have used tribal sentiments and incitements to try to hold on to power in Lagos by using tribal incitement tactics to cause Yorubas to see any major opposition as an Igbo agenda to take over Lagos from Yorubas. Unfortunately, this dangerous tactics have been working for APC since 2015.



How are Igbos dragging Lagos with the Yorubas you may wonder?



Every inch of land an Igbo person owns outside Southeast; be it in Lagos, Portharcourt, Abuja, Warri, Kaduna, Kano, Sokoto, Minna, etc, he or she paid hugely for it, most times double or triple the real price. In most towns and cities in Nigeria, other tribes or groups even accuse Igbos of causing increase in land price, how?


They always say that Igbos don't negotiate land price, that because Igbos have blood money or drug money, that Igbos buy land at whatever price the land owner tells them without negotiating or finding out the actual price of land in that area and that this always lead to land owners inflating/increasing the price of their lands because they know if others don't buy, that Igbos will definitely buy. Kano people once accused Igbos of this. I have witnessed this scenario in Lagos too and almost quarreled with the none Igbo person that made that baseless remark.



Now back to the topic, how can you claim someone you duly and cheerfully sold your land to, stole or grabbed it after he or she paid you in full with both family and community receipts?




Tell me one place in Lagos or anywhere else Igbos invaded, held the indigenes with guns like Fulani herdsmen and took over their lands by force and refused to vacate the community and rather claimed it is their land? I need a honest answer from readers please, we are here to learn in order to stop xenophobic clashes that may snowball to another civil war?



The much taunted slang "Lagos is a no man's land", is a friendly remark some Igbos have been using casually for decades to show how welcoming Lagos is to all manner of people, and how Lagos is a home for all. Have Igbos ever come out one day to say Yorubas should vacate Lagos that it now belongs to Igbos? During the 1967 civil war, why didn't Igbos carry their purchased Lagos lands on trucks and buses back to Eastern Nigeria?


During the Abiola riot of 1993 that many Igbos left Lagos to avoid being caught up in the Abiola riots, why didn't Igbos carry their Lagos properties back to Eastern Nigeria since Lagos is a "no man's land" that belongs to the Igbos and not to Yorubas? My dear friends, you all need to put on your thinking caps, don't let APC politicians brainwash and hoodwink you all into a messy situation for their selfish and personal political ambitions and gains.



Have Igbos ever dragged the Oba traditional title with the Yorubas in any Lagos community? Have Igbos ever stopped the Yorubas from having their various traditional and religious festivals and celebrations in Lagos even when they block major roads?



Dear Yoruba friends, APC and Tinubu brand of politics is polluting the minds of young Yorubas by inciting them to hate Igbos for no justifiable reason other than for their personal political ambitions.



Igbo men have governed Lagos several years back and Igbos didn't take over Lagos then, is it today that Lagos is being governed by Yorubas that Igbos will take over Lagos, how?



All these rants of Igbos wanting to take over Lagos by Yorubas is really funny and making Yorubas look too cowardly and scared of Igbos, and it doesn't speak well of the great Yoruba race, it makes Yorubas appear weak to other tribes. Lagos is a Yoruba land and that is not debatable till eternity, even the geographical location of Lagos alone confirms this. Whatever ancient history we read about Lagos belonging to Aworis, etc doesn't matter today cos the whole world knows that Lagos is a Yoruba land and so shall it be.


How is it possible for Igbos to take over Lagos, how for Christ sake? Will they carry Lagos and load on to a luxurious bus or truck and transport it to Southeast region? How please?



When an Igbo person buys land in Lagos, he pays development fee popularly known as Omonile money to Yoruba indigenes of that community before he can start any development project on the land. Why don't they go to Igbo kings or community to pay the Omonile money?



Honestly this useless argument of Igbos wanting to take over Lagos is annoying and stale, because it is not possible. You guys are being worked up for no tangible reason other than APC tribal politics of instigating Yorubas against Igbos to discredit opposition parties.



In 2019 APC accused Jimmy Agbaje of being Igbo and having Igbo agenda. They called PDP Igbo party and mocked Igbos with PDP. In 2023 its no longer Jimmy Agbaje being Igbo and having Igbo agenda, its now GRV and Labor Party.


For you guys information, it is normal for politicians to try to woo groups they believe have high population in a city to boost their chances of winning election in their city. You saw Rotimi Amaeche who is also an Igbo bloodline from Rivers state woo Igbos in Rivers to vote APC. Different past and present Governors in Kano state did same. Borno State Governor did that in Borno.


Even in Gabon a far away country, their then longest serving late President Omar Bongo wooed the Igbo community in Gabon to an extent he made Igbo community his closest political allies just to gain their supports during elections and Igbos stood solidly by him for decades cos he supported and defended Igbos and their businesses/investments in Gabon to the anger of his opponents who started instigating some sections of Gabonese against Igbos claiming Igbos wanted to take over Gabon, how?


All these are political games, even though they are dangerous political tactics that can lead to xenophobia or civil war in close minded nations like Africa and that is why Yorubas must rise up now and condemn APC from using this dangerous tribal incitements and attacks to discredit opposition parties in Lagos just to hold on to power.

Nwodosis:
Xenophobic attack on the Igbos in Lagos will automatically give rebirth and endorsement of their awaited Biafra by the whole world.

talk to his people to vote apc you mean? Cos all these trash is because obi won lagos? Some of you said obi won lagos because tinubu strategically ceded it for bigger fish elsewhere. So why are you guys afraid of losing governorship?
You guys should be ashamed of yourselves. Igbos and other Democrats will go out next Saturday and vote Labour Party from top to bottom.
You have 2 options
1. Come out and vote your apc
2. Stay indoors online and be threatening your family. I can assure you the igbos are not threatened. No be today nyansh dey back
