MelesZanawi:


Say no to tribalism. The fact that most Igbos are criminals does not mean that all Igbos are criminals.

Most Nigerians are criminals, not just Ibos

he can not ever win house in lagos! why ! because MC OLUMO said so

Topmaike007:
Colorado Ronu ooh don't use another person from somewhere else because they will take over your land

The day you begin to hear 'colorado is no man's land', the original owner of the land will be forced to tell you otherwise. So if you are not lousy about your acts, you will achieve anything without stress!

eepeepook:
Caucasians will always use the best of resources from another country to benefit their people. Putting this intellect from Nigeria into power benefits African citizens in no way.

My friend praise what is praiseworthy.
Can you imagine even a black native being elected to anything in China, Russia, Cuba, Iran, North Korea...

Yoruba always leads in greatness
Infact Nigerians are the greatest people on earth....minus those troublesome ones that always cry like babies upandan

This is the problem “Yoruba always leads in greatness”
“Igbo amaka”

What a useless tribalistic country who doesn’t suppose to be one.

In America, you always here “God bless America” not God bless black America or Indian American or Japanese American.
America see themselves as one despite having every human of the world living in America.
Nobody told him to go back to his country or state.
I wish you guys will start creeping out from your primitive archaic mindset for a greater Nigeria

Lagos is a making a law to restrict other indigenes. What a backward set of humans. Tuah

So far he is Yoruba, he can say what he want.

You can call you fellow Ibo Osuu, and they might not take offense.

But if a non-Igbo call you Osuu, it will sound derogatory.

Same thing witn the word Nighhha to blacks and whites.

These you mentioned are not Caucasians. They are just colored people.
Honestly, Caucasians are just different breed of humans, different from others

YORUBA AMAKA !!

Lol... My lagos, my lagos... Una see ur lives..

Let lagos learn from erosion ravaged Igbo land first.

As we speak Igbo man is holding a political office in lagos.

An Igbo lady is the first lady of ondo state


Governor Adeleke has Igbo blood him,meanwhile in Igboland

Hope Yoruba ronu crew members will say Yoruba want to take over Colorado, selfish set of people.

If you only know how ridiculous you sound.
The Caucasus mountains, their original home, is in Russia. Yet Russians are not Caucasians!

If Yorubas always lead in greatness, then why are Americans not doing japa to Lagos that Tinubu built into a world class city since 1999?
Self deception is a terrible thing.

I want to sell a script to a Hollywood studio. The story is about a guy who owns a farm that constantly runs at a loss but never quite shuts down.

The farm is massive and underutilised, and the protagonist has all the opportunities in the world to improve its output and get a bumper harvest.

He has access to credit, machinery, free irrigation and gifts from neighbouring farmers, but all he ever does with these things is drink and smoke them away while his family suffers.

Nigeria has refused to grow up and achieve something, but it somehow feels as if it is living vicariously through the achievements of its estranged children around the world

Apart from drinking, smoking and generally being utterly useless, his other pastime is to pump out children at an industrial rate. Needless to say, he takes no care of his children whatsoever, and many of them fail to survive childhood.

Those who do survive have to leave the farm and hire themselves out as hired labour to the neighbouring farmers, having picked up some survival skills from home.

With time, a number of them rise through the ranks and become senior managers, directors and even shareholders in these other farms while their father continues mismanaging his farm.

When good news about some of these successful children gets home, their father is filled with pride and joy, but when they end up on the wrong side of life, he acts as if he never knew them.

The successful ones make efforts to revamp their childhood home by sending back money and volunteering their skills and time, but all this guy ever wants to do is be a 62-year-old underachieving idiot carried through life by charity and luck.

Famzing” diaspora success is dishonest
I’m sure before the end of the second paragraph, you figured out whose story I was telling. The 62-year story of post-independence Nigeria — which the Hollywood studio would surely reject for being too sad with no redemption — is that of our fictional antihero.

Nigeria has refused to grow up and achieve something, but it somehow feels as if it is living vicariously through the achievements of its estranged children around the world.

Remember how everyone from corporate brands to Abike Dabiri made a big song and dance about supporting Anthony Joshua the “Nigerian,” whose only chance to become someone in life came when his parents emigrated from Nigeria?

Remember how things turned when he somehow lost against that chubby Mexican dude whose name I can’t remember? Remember when the Super Falcons won the female AFCON title and received a congratulatory tweet from the president, only for them to have to stage a protest before being paid their camp allowances?

That’s what we do in Nigeria. We try to live vicariously through the achievements of people who have achieved great things under their own steam, simply because said people happen to be called ‘Ifeoma,’ ‘Efe’ and ‘Ayotunde.’

Even when Nigeria had absolutely nothing to do with said success, or in fact happened in spite of Nigeria, as with Divine Oduduru, we bask in the reflected glory of their personal achievements.

Sometimes when those people wear a Nigerian flag or post something about Wizkid or Jollof Rice on Instagram, we go crazy with the Nigerian flag emojis because oh my god, they identify with us!

This is not about being a Killjoy
Somehow, the complete failure of Nigeria and our complicity in its failure is more bearable when we point at Nigerian immigrants doing great things in life and say “I knew Femi before he started calling himself Anthony.

His father and I were classmates in Aiyetoro.” It is unclear how exactly this helps our situation but hey, it’s also unclear how chugging the amount of alcohol we do helps either.

Escapism is a key part of our culture, and anyone who dissents must be a non-Jollof-eating, vegetarian heretic, and possibly also an atheist.

Now while all this is painfully cringey to my eyes, some will also point out that Nigeria is not the only country that has a weird obsession with its diaspora population.

Even ‘first-world’ countries like Ireland continue to have deep emotional and economic connections to their diaspora, and in any case Nigerians proudly supporting Anthony Joshua or the NBA’s Giannis Ante…African-sounding-name is basically harmless fun. They’re not hurting anyone. Why be such a killjoy, David?

The reason this matters can be found in a quote that has been dubiously attributed to Russian President Vladmir Putin, where he describes Africa as the place where its diaspora does not invest in, but returns to only to die and be buried with their ancestors.

While there is no concrete evidence that Mr. Putin ever actually made that comment, the truth in it is painfully poignant.

For diaspora success to be meaningful to Nigeria, it must correlate to on-ground results in Nigeria. The example of Somalia shows that having a well-educated, globally successful diaspora while being an absolute basket case are both possible at the same time.

I’d imagine we do not aspire to be Somalia.

Congratulations to Mayor Yemi Mobolade.
I wish him a memorable time in office.
Hopefully, we'll hear greater things about him.
But hey, 1978/1979 is too recent for someone not to know their exact date or year of birth.
Even a certain smuggled African leader with no known parents created a DOB for himself.
Someone should tell Yemi to fix his DOB please.

YouandiAllofus:
Congrats to him. Governments in Nigeria should take a cue from this and make political appointments based on merit, integrity, capacity and qualification. One devoid of ethnicity, religion and state of origin as we have it.

did the other ethnicities join the winning party? Or do you see Republicans hiring democrats?

AfonjaConehead:
Congrats to him...more grease to his elbow
He and his family are lucky.



But y'all sit back and relax and watch out for some hungry frustrated coneheaded structures and sophisticated maarrraans about to fouoool themselves and turn this thread into something else

Shut up table flat headed thing..lol
I am super excited to mess around with flat items.Yipeee

PoliteActivist:


But can't Lagos assembly learn a lesson from this?? Instead they're going the opposite direction!

those rubber stamp mofos that will regret there actions very soon

djseanjohn77:


In your mind, you have spoken.
Lagos is still far better than your State, Lagos have in history appointed people from other regions in different capacity - If you must speak, at least be objective and be void of sentiment - let it go round, what you cannot take in your home, don't force others to accept in their own home too, it is basic. We have other tribes that have lived all their lives in the East, what have they ever benefitted before, can they even buy form talkless of contesting? D they even have the power to express themselves, have you ever heard them make a noise in the media, they know they can never be accorded the privilege as such, have resigned to fate l;giving their lives and making earnings.

Which state do you think im from and im assuming you want to claim lagos cos of your tribe, guess what... Lagos doesn't belong to the entire yoruba sef.

Wondering what tribe you assume im from ooo

Electorate:


























Stop this nonesense with your idiotic comments, if this is how you behave in real life then you are doomed and shouldn't have been born in the first place.

Your sense didn't tell you that Igbo, Yoruba and Hausa are not the only tribe in Nigeria, there are 371 tribes in Nigeria (google it) yet you idiots think you are the only tribes and attack yourself foolishly while other tribes laugh at your stupidity.

I am Yoruba and not as stupid as you all to think all Yoruba are good people and all Igbos are bad people.

Can you please refer me to anywhere you made a comment against calling Nigeria a zoo?
Perhaps a comment you made against the discrimination going on the SE against indigenes of other states?

Wrong sir, Lagos indeed belongs to the entire Yoruba just as Akure or Oshogbo or Abeokuta.
You are all going on and on about Lagos only because Lagos is more prosperous today. There was a time when Yorubaland was almost entirely under one administration.

Buddha3:


"Most" Igbos are not criminals. Every tribe and region has its fair share of misfits and dissidents. How you people on Nairaland always take delight in rubbishing an entire tribe over the inanities of a select few, is quite disturbing.

Don't mind him
