GRV should leave Lagos for us o.

Stoplying:

You think this is the first time a Yoruba responds like this in this topic ? You can't even formulate your own question ? You need to go to talking points?
Dude, I gave you a Precolonial map, look at it, it shows you what Benin looked like in the precolonial era, and Lagos was part of it. Truth hurts. Deal with it.

Stoplying:

If Nigeria were to divide, Lagos would be a country of its own and one of the biggest in West Africa, and it will be multiethnic.
Also I don't believe in Biafra or oduduwa because you guys keep adding other people's lands into it without consultation of the people.

sharpsecret:
you Even the south South part of baifra

Alaigbomaster:

I don't have any oga
I didn't even have interest in the politics and election from the start, till i saw the antics of okoros against my tribe, till even after the election as far as going to insult Ooni, Pastor Adeboye etc

There will be consequences and it has already started, you all can run to the northerners for alliance, those ones will slit your throats without thinking twice

I just can't ignore this anymore The guy who is proposing the law most be a a big time psychopath

After many tribes that come from their respectful states has made lagos what it has became. some people want to start some sorta useless Tribalism, seriously this is highly stupid and foolish if you ask me

But what did i know

scholes23:
The annoying thing is that all of them in that house of assembly are not even lagosians. Most of them even enter night bus come Lagos

This guy it seems you don't understand what Kingdoms and Empire entails in the olden days. Do you know Ondo and Ekiti were also part of Benin Empire? because they pay royalties to the Oba of Benin does not make the people Edo people. In the Olden days, Germanian tribes, Saxons were under Roman Empire. Romans even gave them the name Britannia( meaning Britain) but doesn't make them Romans. Lagos was under the Benin Empire doesn't make Lagosians (Aworis and Ijebu) of then Edo people. Ekiti, Ondo and Lagos people were Yorubas then under the Benin Empire. Understand the difference.

Stoplying:

1) Nigerian education is a real mess, it is very easy to identify a guy who was educated in Nigeria.
2) it is only in Nigeria that kingdom is seen as "tribe" or "village" or "city". To the rest of the world, a kingdom is a country. And Benin kingdom was a country, countries have cities and villages within them.
3) look, I'm getting tired of repeating myself, you guys want to be right do much that you ignore logic and just repeat your beliefs even if I've already proven your beliefs to be false.
4) you can't identify Precolonial people's as Yoruba, Yoruba only came into existence in 1808, those lands were already part of Benin in the 1400's. You can chose your identity bit you can't chose the identity of your ancestors.
5) Edo is the name of the citizens of Benin empire, that qualifies Lagosians and Ondo and Ekiti people as Edo.
6) people accepted your Yoruba tag for internal politics in Nigeria, but you can't put that tag on their ancestors.
7) so you are wrong. Lagos is not Yorubaland and Benin people of Ekiti and Ondo who accepted your yoruba tag can't put that tag on their ancestors who will forever be Edo people.

lemme educate a little about Biafra...before Nigeria was employed by luggard in 1914 Biafra has existed,it is a group of people with same culture,same religion and ways of life..there was nothing like south east or south South untill the early 90's...what Ipob is fighting for is not Igbo nation,we are fighting for the old eastern region called Biafra..

MorolayoVictor:


IT IS HIGH TIME YOU STOPPED EMBARRASSING YOURSELF

Stoplying:

How can you educate me while you know nothing ?
For your information, the eastern region was never called Biafra and it's creation as a geopolitical bloc was by the British. Also you don't seem to know the location of the eastern region on the map, let me help you: except imo state (perhaps), no part of the south-south was part of it.

Also Biafra was not a Precolonial country, it was a region of Africa and it is mostly withing what we now call Cameroon.

Look, we in the south-south do not want your Biafra, you can have it in your southeast. Our land is off limits for your Biafra and your illusions about "same religion and se culture" (you are sounding a lot like white supremacists). Your religion is Christianity and it was given to you by the British ! Do you believe your ancestors were Christians?
You upon guys are some of the most uneducated people I've ever met. You should try educating yourself instead of gallivanting with your bigotry.

SenatePresdo:


UK and Canada have such laws? Fine.
Was their law against Canadians?

Why would a Nigerian law be against Nigerians? Instead of Foreigners from another country??

MrAgbako:
All these Igbos people sef. Is it a must to live in Lagos?. Go back to your amadiogha forsaken sad east region or kee yourself if you not happy with Lagos state laws.

muhammaduyusufu:

Everyone was targeted including liberal yorubas. Yet you don't see other tribes wailing and crying since the speaker hinted about protecting the indigenes. Why do you not want a state to protect its indigenes. Afterall the North practices it's Sharia and some south east governors vehemently protested against ruga.

Let the Lagosians rule themselves the way they like too. Whatever is good for the goose is good for the gander.

kingsways:
An Indian is British Prime Minister

A Pakistani is Mayor of London

Even a Yoruba man is a Mayor in Colorado

And Yet some stewpid Speaker want to pass some stewpid bill to protect his own stewpidity

true2god:
Hope the law will protect big Yoruba churches so that non-Yorubas will no longer attend.

I hope the law will also prevent non-Yorubas from marrying Yorubas and vice versa.

I hope the law will also make sure that Yorubas will attends only Yorubas owned shools and hospitala vice versa.

I hope the lwas will also make sure that all the oil companies head offices relocate back to Nigwrdelta, their operation base.

The lwas should be all encompassing.

Ade3131:


Lemme begin by telling you that as it stands today, Abuja is a federal capital territory of Nigeria, and it remains the only state that does not vote in a governor. By contrast, Lagos state vote in its governors, and what that means is that while Abuja might have it's own indigenous people, the state is the only territory in Nigeria that can be called a no-man's-land (for Nigerians), but there's a boundary to that too bcuz the law recognizes that they're natives whose ancestral land is Abuja.

The natives of Abuja cannot come to Lagos and say it's a no-man's-land bcuz by law, it belongs to some people and they vote in their governor here.

Anyway you look at it, just tell yourself that it is Lagos that is making law to protect their natives. I'm not a Lagosian although I live there. Their laws, their problem. If any non-Lagosian have an issue with how they decide their thing here, they're 35 other states in Nigeria. The law is not targeting anybody order than their indigenous people, so I don't know what the fuss is all about.

They are not making laws for another state. They're making laws for their state. Whoever have a problem with that might need to explain himself in the court of law.
