"At Oshodi Isolo, we had lot of people that migrated from the southEast just to vote in Lagos.
Instead of been transferred from the Area(the polling unit), what they did was fresh registration. Those who did transfer, got their PVC. Those who did double registration, unfortunately couldn't get their PVC.
.."

- Olusegun Agbaje (INEC REC, Lagos), 10th of February, 2023.

In a reaction to INEC's REC statement, the below was shared by an X user with the name OgheneOchuko. It went viral:

We have only 2 major tribes in Nigeria namely:

1. Yoruba
2. Hausa.

Igbo is not a major tribe.

The two major tribes are in their regions, making their region great. They possess political might and influence.

The Igbo are everywhere, abandoned their region to challenge other people who should rule them.

They don't care who their Governors are, they don't even know who the respective LG Chairman are.

This is why thier streets are unkempt and filled with filth. Nothing tangible to write home about the South East.

The Ijaw, the Edo, the Urhobo the Efiks etc are more in respectable positions, and I consider them more major than the Igbo.

I suggest electoral amendments be made that only indigenous people of a state can vote.

This is how the Hausa or Northerners behave, they go home to vote in droves and return back to their business after that.

That is how you know a major tribe.

A resident should go home and vote in his state.

Thank you.

Did they also migrate to enroll and get their PVCs

A very daft take. If possible, some people will rewrite history and erase the Igbo people. It's very sad that we are treating our fellow kinsmen this way.

Anybody who is a tribalist, then goes abroad to campaign against racism is a hypocrite and an evil person. Tribalism is worse than racism.

Sadly, the narrative is being rewritten to disfavor the Igbo tribe. It's a sad thing that we let politics and politicians to take away our humanity as a people.

The saddest thing is that these politicians use and dump those tribalists. They divide us against tribe, religion and beliefs, and we have nothing to show for it.

The days are evil.

It pains me that PDP is a dead party. They should be the one knocking APC in line with performance that can win people over. Instead they abandoned the party to go and chop inside APC.
It was jendor and funke they expected to challenge police and thugs working for APC.

oga go sleep, pity for your own non existent brain and kids first.

Someone is advocating that you stay in your region, vote your governors and local govt chairmen instead of killing yourselves over who governs another man's state and you are here talking nonsense.

I am south south and you complain about oil the most, dont south west produce oil too?
The oil produced by one south west state is far more than what the entire south east produces ans yet you are still the one crying over it.
You're not from SOUTH SOUTH.
so the governors, chairman, Senator house of representatives in the East were appointed by you.
They said Igbo man can't be president No wahala but indirectly we will control the affairs of this Nation, we have conquered markets, sports, movie industry very soon we will control the music industry. Our people that lives in Dubai, America Malaysia, Hong Kong etc have started inviting our music artists to come and perform on their invents, you need to go and watch Ejima 042 in Cambodia, see how much the made. Dollars were spray on them not one dollar, they couldn't use hand to pick the money na broom dem use sweep am. Una go cry more

This OgheneOchuko or whatever is very dumb.He accused South-Easterners of not holding their leaders accountable meanwhile Delta state monthly allocation is well bigger than the 5 south-east states put together yet Delta state is still very much underdeveloped and their people still wallowing in abject poverty.
We are not just one of the largest ethnic groups in Nigeria but Africa in general.

Social media can ultimately create a false sense of reality. Instead of trying to deal with things they don't like about themselves, some people will go online and present themselves in the way they'd like to be seen, without any changes to themselves. A fractured reality is the doorway to insanity. I hope you get well soon Mr. Oghene Ochuko. grin

i am 100percent bini man and have no time for dick measuring with you.
What sports have you conquered? What movies have you conquered when the top ten highest grossing movies in Nigeria are all yorubas, anthony joshua, the biggest boxer out of naija is yoruba, asisat oshoala the bihhest female footie oit of naija is yoruba, oshimen the best male footie in naija is a fellow bini so which sport have you conquered. Face your two by two business and stop all these unnecessary bragging, it does no good to you rather it breeds more enemy.

Its my take ans no tribal sentiment intended.
