Obaaderemi2:
HE DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING ABOUT BUS STOP IN HIS QUOTE.

WHY ARE YOU PEOPLE SO WICKED AND TRIBAL?
AND THE WORST ARE THE READERS WHO ARE EASILY MISLED

But it's normal to sit in a public bus like BRT to say nonsense like " Yoruba people head no correct, how can they follow that ugly Emilokan "?.
If you knew how elderly people felt when they heard that Tinubu lost in Lagos, they felt disgraced and embarrassed.
Most of them that have moved to other locations, returned with vengeance to vote for Sanwolu.
Their conclusion was that " OROMADIYE O MO ASA, IYA E LO MO AWODI ".
Most of them appreciate Tinubu's efforts in Lagos, but their grand children don't know much.
The grand children have been exposed to the truth, Yorubas can never be ungrateful to their benefactors, AJA KII GBAGBE OLORE EKO.
What exactly has Yorubas benefitted from Igbo that will make Yorubas throw their brother under a bus?, tell me.
If this REALITY CHECK, is what you're calling tribalism, I'm afraid you go cry taya

HEAVEN4444:
As they change the name of the bus stop den done collect him soul, . Thst thing na ritual. As his soul is gone na depression be that.

Chai.
Even if I no wan raugh, nailarand must make me.

Enugu host NBA conference this year. NBA didn't see Oyo, ogun etc But they see Enugu. The joke is on you.

If SE is not secure according to agbadorians, they would have taken their conference to another region. But they choose Enugu.

Hotels everywhere booked in Enugu till November December! Visitors from Abuja even as well as other African countries coming to Enugu. Enugu airports very busy 247.

Hospitality industries in Enugu are cashing out steady. 247. Continue with you propaganda.


Mind you Abuja and Lagos are two places mainly hosting NBA conference. But this time, they chooses Enugu, why ? They see what you can't see.

Enugu will now be hosting NBA conference alongside lagos and Abuja.

Finally NBA members are now permanent residents of Enugu.
We are talking residence you're talking conference, how are the two related?.

Elliotwaveforec:
Chai you just typed what I wanted to type!

The Fulanis using Islam to rule over the brainwashed Muslims; and later seize their land. Hausas have been dealt with already, it's the turn of the brainwashed Nupe and Yoruba Muslims, starting from Nupe Emirate, then Ilorin Emirate.

People are being deceived to abandon what they can use to protect themselves through Islam and Christianity, so that they can be easily subdued.

Go ask the Jukuns from Taraba how they liberated themselves from the Fulanis through traditional means by putting aside their Christian faith and face their enemies. Has the use of traditional protection taken away their being Christians? No!

Tell ty bro, nothing more to say.
Someone should help me add the remaining words.

Vergovert:
Stop clowning dude!

The only recognized oyo empire was the Oyo ile which had been sacked by the fulanis.
The new oyo atiba land belongs to Ogbomoso.

Your alaafin has no land to start with.

Nonsense even Olugbon dare not speak such abomination.
Omo Ile ibo ni e ni Ogbomosho?.
So who is Soun Ogunlola?
I hope Ghadhi is not the one pushing you guys to commit suicide?, Alafin o se ri fin o.
All of una should go to the Nigerian high commission archives in UK, the place is the Western Nigerian house before amalgamation of 1914.
Alafin is the owner of the land, that was why he was the one the British discussed with, he was the one who signed for the Yoruba people.
You see how big Yoruba land is, even beyond Nigeria in the West coast, you think it just happened like that, the size of Yoruba land today is to the credit of the Alafins of old, give them their flowers.
And for your information, only Ilorin was lost to the Fulani, the remaining Yoruba lands are intact.
Only Ilorin Emir wears Turban in Kwara state, the remaining kings are still wearing their crowns, so be informed.

okayman4real:
where in Ondo State please?

The beach starts from a place called Igbokoda, I don't know where it ends.
Just go to Okitipupa, last bus stop.
You will see where people are boarding boats and ferries.
South West is the blessed side.
We blessed God.

esnbrutality:
They have started again with childish propaganda.

Anyway... sophisticated liars have a particular DNA sequence..

It's generational..

I'm not surprised by you, non achievers will try to bury other people's achievements.
Igbos used to say free education is a low quality education, but see how far free education has come, and is still doing wonders.
All fingers are not equal, it's better to leverage on free education to greater heights, than end up as a prostitute.
Slow and steady wins the race.

WesleyPepper:
Shey nah you go declare yourself or INEC 😂😂😂
El Rufai is about to get his FAFO moment . Tinubu nah your mate Abi . E think say nah gentle Jonathan
Local terrorist Dey whine top CIA boy . Go figure 😂😂

Oluwaaa mi, eyin o wa po ju?.
Seun should be generous enough to add the remaining 40 characters.
I'm very stingy with my posts, today being Sunday.

Brendaniel:
Stay there focusing on propaganda while Tinubu sells you people off to the Fulanis...

Don't cry for me Omo Igbo.
My family matters are non of your business.

Shawarmagirl:
Tinubu is feeling this one and his family. He can not be regarded as an elder.

Were there warrant chiefs in Igbo land or not?..
Biafran army went as far as Ore in other to free Biafra in Lagos, yes or no?.
Of recent, another useless bill is being sponsored by the Igbos in the senate, yes or no?.
There is a fact the Igbos are ignoring to their own peril, other people's homeland is not Igbo land, the earlier Igbos understand this, the
bettter.

deji17:
All these billions of allocations that is going to Delta State, where is the money going? People are not channeling their anger to the right quarters. These Governors are taking advantage of the ignorance and the bias of many Nigerians.

Don't mind them, they will blame Lagos state government wey no dey collect 13% derivations.
All the money is in Lagos, federal government favor Lagos.
Brain dem no get, school dem no go.

God bless this initiative.
This is a good job creation and burden reduction on our country forex reserve.

DeLaRue:
Highly unlikely the Ondo one will materialise.

With 4 or 5 large ports in existence or planned for construction between Lagos and Ogun, and with Ondo being a very short distance away (Olokola - the proposed site of Dangote ports is no more than 10 km from Ondo), investors will think twice about citing another port in Ondo. At least for now.

The next big ports should be in places like Bayelsa, Delta, Akwa Ibom. Expansion of Onne should be on the cards.

@ Bolded, speak to the investors, they might buy your suggestions.

Disclaimer
This piece is personal. You’re free to disagree, but I hope you read with an open heart. If your response is petty or vindictive rather than honest and constructive, I won’t stay silent. Be guided.

I remember the joy of growing up in Nigeria when names didn’t matter, when tribes didn’t divide us, and when children laughed without knowing where you “came from.” My friends were from Sokoto, Cross River, Borno, Delta, Lagos, Enugu. We played, ate, and fought like brothers, not strangers.

Back then, whenever anyone asked,
“Where are you from?” I’d smile and say, “I’m from Nigeria.” The confusion on their faces used to amuse me. Some expected me to say Lagos. Others guessed Maiduguri or Delta. None ever got it right. I liked it that way. I liked not being boxed in.

But that world? That innocence? It’s fading. And it hurts.

I’ve watched with a heavy heart how the very question of “Where are you from?” now builds walls between us. Walls built on prejudice. On suspicion. On politics. On lies.

In Nigeria, I’ve seen how people cling to the idea of “state of origin” as if it were carved into stone. But it’s not. Our ancestors didn’t drop from the sky. They moved. They wandered. They settled. They left one land for another, again and again, until they found a place to call home. From there another offspring moved and found another land they could call their home.

I remember visiting riverine communities as a USAID M&E officer. The elders told me how their people, fishermen used to spend days near rivers far from their villages. So, they built huts. Then homes. Then brought their wives. Their children were born there. Years passed. Generations passed. And now, those children say, “This is where we are from.” And honestly, they’re right.

So tell me, what is “origin,” really?

If Ile-Ife Was the Start, Where Did Oduduwa Come From? Some say all Yoruba people came from Ile-Ife. Others whisper stories about Oduduwa coming from Arabia. I’ve even heard claims that the Igbos trace their roots to Israel.

And if you believe the Bible, then our first father was Adam and our first address? The Garden of Eden.

So again, I ask: if everyone is from somewhere else, why do we use “where you’re from” to divide, exclude, and judge

I’ve travelled. I’ve lived outside Nigeria. And let me say this clearly: I’ve never seen a place where ancestral origin holds this much power over people’s lives.

In most places, what matters is where you are born, not where your great-grandfather migrated from. A child born in Texas is American. A child born in London is British. A child born in Lagos should be Nigerian-Lagosian even not labeled a “settler.”

And yet in Nigeria, that same child might be told, “You’re not from here.”

Why?

We’ve Institutionalized Division. Look at our school admissions. Some children are denied entry not because they’re not smart, but because their “state of origin” has higher cut-off marks. Others are told they don’t “belong” in civil service jobs. In their own country.

Our Constitution enshrines this. “Federal Character” was meant to give everyone a fair shot. But now? It’s being used to tell people they’re not welcome in places they’ve lived their whole lives.

Even our politics is soaked in tribal identity. Parties pick candidates by zones, not merit. People vote based on language, not leadership. And when violence breaks out? It’s often neighbors turning on neighbors, all in the name of “origin.”

If We Changed One Law, Everything Could Change

Imagine a Nigeria where your identity comes from where you're born or where you grow up. Imagine a Nigeria where…

A Hausa boy born in Lagos is simply Lagosian.

A Yoruba girl raised in Enugu is considered Igbo by identity.

A Tiv child born in Port Harcourt is treated as a Rivers native.

Do you know what that would do? That would unite us. That would heal us. That would build families that reflect the beautiful blend of who we are.

My fear for the Southwest. We used to be admired. Loved. Respected. The bride of the nation. But today, I see other regions slowly pulling back. The warmth is turning cold. The trust is wearing thin.

Worse still, our youth, the ones who should be wiser are becoming tools in political hands. Chanting division. Spreading hate. And I fear: the seeds of tribalism we’re planting now may one day grow into trees too tall to chop down.

A time may come when no region will trust us again. When we’ll cry out about marginalization and wonder how it all slipped away.

I am proud to be Black. But not just because I’m Yoruba.

I am proud to be African. But not just because I’m from Lagos.

I am proud to be Nigerian. Because that name, Nigeria, carries the weight of all our tribes, all our languages, all our dreams.

Let’s Break the Cycle.
What if we stopped asking “Where are you from?” and started asking “Where are you going?”

What if we raised our children not to carry the burden of tribal scars, but the hope of a united country?

What if we taught them that “home” is where you build your life, not just where your ancestors once lived?

That is the Nigeria I believe in. That is the Nigeria I still pray for.

Baalu to ti fo lo nsewo si.
Oko kii je ti baba t'omo ko ma ni aala.
So Yoruba should be nice enough to hand over the control of their homeland, to their oloju kokoro neighbors
Ara a pa bata, pa jewen jewen eti e.
Come out and say it openly, it's like you don't know how pissed the Yorubas are,, with this ko eran mo ero country.

Willy2025:
I don't really see any sense in all these. Even though, there are no Yoruba named in the East, we shouldn't do the same here. We should show that we are more mature and detribalised

K'Oloun ma je a shagbako ni .
Bole nbe, oko ero ni.
In a state of madness, it is illegal to be law abiding.
Any name that is not Yoruba should be removed, we are not related to those names.

aswani:
A huge chunk of Lagos today was developed by Western Region ergo Ndi Yoruba money.

When that huge chunk of Lagos state was carved out of Western Region, no monies were returned to the rest of the former region so those from the states you mentioned are staying put as Lagos state happened to them when they were still living peacefully in their region jẹjẹ.

Only one tribe, only one of all the tribes in Nigeria that lives in Lagos, is complaining about being chased out of Lagos, why? Who is chasing you out sef?

Ordinary street renaming by Ndi Yoruba is causing all this crying by that one particular set of people, feel free to play Ndi Yoruba return match in your own state then and allowed us rest, chikena.

E no easy I must say, imagine a human sacrifices of unimaginable proportion and still the target remain elusive.

I'd like to know how much was spent on education in Osun State please.

Shift to one side, Oshun don't need education.
Oshun needs dance and parties.

phorget:
Yoruba too dey enter whining, if anyone call Lagos no man's land you too should call Anambra a no man's land nah.
I haven't seen an igboman contesting for Oba in any Yoruba land so what's the headache all about? With time I'm sure Igbos will stop voting in any of Yoruba states too so as for peace to reign.

You want Yorubas to do pig fight with visitors, on our land?.
Yoruba o le pelu obo je oko, there are better ways.
By the time the clean up is done and dusted, awon onisokuso yen o ni ro aso buruku be se Oro mo.

I am actually yet to understand why some people are crying about the Lagos street rennaming.

Before the street was named after Charly boy, which name is it bearing before?

Abeg, enough of this victim mentality jare

Let them cry, owun to sonu lowo won o she fi epe wa.

Wow this slaps hard, other developers too can apply, all they need to participate is their family AGANRANDI.
Present your family's agarandi aka family tree evidence, which is the proof of blood connection to the family.

They are waiting to claim Lagos
Tueh

This is tribalism and marginalizatio.
Why always Yoruba?.
Let the mods add the remaining 40 characters.
I'm short of words at the moment.

Scarrr:
just like the news that hit the frontage yesterday where an innocent Yoruba man went to visit his igbo friend in S.A and was killed unjustly when gun men came for the Igbo guy...right?

Aguntan to ba aja rin, a je Igbe.
Sheep wey waka with dogs go chop shit.
I'm not convinced the Yoruba dude isn't into shady bizness too.

Shut your mouth. Are those in SA Kenya Malaysia India Singapore also jealous on you ?!

Upgrade your list, of recent a video surfaced online.

Belurved1:
Regionalize this thing o. Enough is enough...kilode...imagine Ghana Ghana Ghana.

Regionalize the Nigerian international passport.
Nigerians needs to know those disgracing our country.

AgentNairaland:
That is not the answer to my question.

Are Igbos not part of Nigeria or Igbo is a sovereign nation like Nigeria? Is Lagos itself land of Yorubas?

Imagine this nonsense, Araba ni baba, eni a ba laba ni baba.
When the British arrived in Lagos, oba Kosoko was in charge, the British had to go to war with Oba Kosoko, in other to seize the control of Lagos.
Kosoko lost to British fire power and was exiled to Epe, and was replaced by a stooge named Oba Dosumu.
When the struggle for independence started, the British trying to hold on to Lagos, claimed Lagos was sold to them.
An Idejo chief, Amoda Tijani a wealthy business man, dragged the colonialists to court in England, and won.
He was even compensated to the tune of 20, 000 pounds.
Since in your delulu mind, Lagos doesn't belong to the Yoruba, who are the owners of Lagos?.

IslamVIRGINS:
They want to silence all igbos in Lagos because of the outcome of 2023 presidential election where Obi won Mr Lagos builder in Aso

Are you related to Lagos or any SW state?.
If you're not related, swerve to the other side.
This issue of Igbos sticking their nose in Lagos matters, is the Bleep we are dealing with, at the moment.
Why should my tenant challenge my authority in my estate?, this nonsense going on since Lugard must stop.
Yorubas never had any contact with Igbos before 1914, if there was any post it.
