Haha! Guy, take it easy with your lies now. How can immigrants be more than the aborigines? It is not even debatable that the population of Yoruba in Lagos is more than double than the igbo people living in Lagos. And among other lies you typed there about Anambra having the same population as Oyo State. That's a pure lie! Ibadan being the state capital of Oyo State is the third most populous city in Nigeria after Lagos and Kano. The population in Ibadan alone is remarkably huge, not to talk of the population of other cities in the State.

gidgiddy:
Do you know that there are more Igbos than Yorubas in Lagos?

Do you know that Oyo has about the same population of Anambra?

Do you know that Ogun has about the same population as Imo?

Do you know that Igbos are the largest ethnic group in every state in Nigeria after the Indigenous ethnic groups of that state?

So how in your mind do you think there are more Yorubas than Igbos?

Then, why do you abandon Asaba to live in a city without sanity, serenity, fresh air, calmness, great ambient homes?

bionixs:
oga, have you been to Asaba?

There is what is called, sanity, serenity, fresh air, calmness, great ambient homes

How many people well for Lagos.

About 93% of the roads in Lagos are ditches and pools.

Verify from those who live in Lagos but know Asaba. Not some guys who took a night bus from Ibadan to settle in Mushin.

I live in Lagos but know Asaba.

Abeg rest! The population of one local government alone in Lagos is almost the population of many of the states we have in Nigeria. By logic, I believe you should understand better now

lexy2014:
Which of the following questions did your response answer?

1. So in Lagos, when everybody goes to school, everywhere will still be noisy?

2. Who and who will be making everywhere noisy after everyone has gone to school?

3. Do you mean that no Nigerian is smart and alert except they grew up in Lagos?

4. That means Nigerian who has gone abroad will not be able to navigate their way because they did not grow up in Lagos.

5. What exactly are you always on guard for?

Who be the igbo mama Davido get? The last time I checked, David's mum is from Edo.

Zooposki:
Most are not fully Yoruba.
Davido: Half Yoruba/Half Igbo
Ayra Starr:
Ruger:

I meant full Yoruba blood.

Is it the same north which two Yoruba States are among? Apart from some manipulation and bringing some other minority ethnic groups to add to the Hausas in the north during the population census, Yoruba is unarguably the most populated tribe in Nigeria while the Hausa tribe came second.

Bendeco02:
I don't support creation of another state inside South East due to small landmass. Instead they should add another state like Anioma State.

But saying that Igbos are least populated is very wrong and don't say that again because it will only show you're ignorant.

Do you know the number of Igbos all over Nigeria?. Many don't even return back to east again.

If you go outside africa, Igbo still full everywhere.

No Nigerian or tribe will say he/she have not come across Igbo man in his area. But many people in the north have never met yoruba man in his community or town. They only hear about some tribes on news or media unlike Igbos.

The most populated tribes in Nigeria is Hausa and Igbo. Don't allow anyone confuse you

Abegii, ordinary Simon Ekpa is controlling them from abroad. Why are the youths in the youths in the South East been complying to the every Monday sit at home nonsense Simon Ekpa brought to your region.

DMerciful:
You think the youths will listen to the govs? Then you're new in Nigeria.

The only reason they may not protest is if they feel like they warned Nigerians but were not listened to. No governor or king can tell Igbo youths what to do

I'm not even here to brag with you about wherever you have been to or your next itineraries, I have just stated a fact and you started blabbing nonsense. Oh! That shows that you were only bitter about the city you downgraded online. And for your information, not everyone here on nairaland you can spit that rubbish out of your mouth saying where you'd been and no one else can't. That's a clear indication that you're from a village/place where obviously you regard yourself as the best in your clan/lineage. A man with one eye is the king among the blinds. Werey, Ajala travel!

hardbody:
Lol @ traveller.

Social media allows everyone to run mouth and claim whatever they choose.

Read some of my posts here and you will come to terms with the fact that you may never do half the trips I have done till you leave this realm. Its not bragging, the nature of my job exposes me to it and Yes, they pay all the time.

But flood happened in the same Dubai this year now. Abi you no dey read news even though you no travel.

hardbody:
Lagos is still a slum. Just 6 hours rain exposed it's underbelly. Cry me a river

But Nmandi Kanu and Simon Ekpa can twist your brains and control you lots.

emmanuelbrown26:
Umahi should understand that east is not west whereby one idiot will be dictating to people what goes around..
East na simply do ur own and leave d stage while west na keep enslaving till u die

Over 5 million igbos killed in the civil war that happened in early 60's! What was the total population of the igbo people of that time? Make Una dey lie with sense nau.

chatinent:
Over 5million Igbos killed during a civil war. It's only normal to commemorate the labours of the fallen heroes.


It's also safer to not introduce violence.

He is an immigrant who left Ghana for the UK over four decades ago, he wasn't born in the UK. You don't need to apply for a passport if you're are born in the UK until you want to travel out of the UK, and you must have lived in the UK continuously for nothing less than seven years before you can have a British passport. But in his own case, as an immigrant, once you have stayed in the UK ( on a sponsorship visa ) for five years, you'll have to apply for indefinite leave to remain (ILR) and after that you are qualify to apply for a citizenship. Irrespective of your immigration status in the UK, you have to follow the due process.

Timoleon:
Most citizens of any given country don't have passports. People only apply for passport when they want to travel. Having a passport is not a requirement for citizenship. It is a requirement for travel though.

Ibadan is a city of many cities in one! The brown roofs' part some people usually highlight for fun-sake on here were just the earliest parts of the city dating back to the time of mud houses.

Hez143:
shey na Ibadan be this shebi dem say na brown roof dey Ibadan
God bless GSM

Another werey hiding behind his/her keyboard spotted. Cursed person from a very unfortunate tribe.

Nice2023:
From birth,a typical yoruba woman or man is born to hate others.

Fulan and hausa only use religion to hate others but u see that of Yoruba,it is inborn.

If u don't speak their language,and u remain in their midst,they will use u as topic.

U are sure to be dissected with their mgbati tongues.

That is my experience having lived with them...and to crown it up,they are fearful people.

Thank God say Nigeria no dey among.

What about concord?

He was not born in Nigeria, but he was born by Nigerian parents in the UK. He came to Nigeria at a point in time to attend Junior secondary school for a year or so.

junketer:
AJ is british. Ya'll rejected him during the olympics but now you want to reap what you did not sow. He was born in nigeria but he's a british boxer. Period.

Not only by speaking the language man. This is not even supposed to be subject to deliberation in the first place. I did my masters in the UK, in any gathering of ten African students, you will see 5 Yorubas while the remaining 5 could be Ghanaian, ibos, or what have you. If you go by headcount, Yorubas will undoubtedly have more numbers in the USA, UK and Canada.

saintfieldcastro:
Ethnic affiliation is different from Linguistic affiliation.
Yes, Yoruba is more spoken in US, UK and Canada bcoz most Yorubas especially elderly ones speak it as their first language and are generally chatty, noisy and loquacious.
Igbo people are now awakening in terms of speaking their language and identifying with the language.
Where I served at Sokoto during our Nysc days, we thought Yorubas were the most numerous Nysc corp members until we were given a breakdown of State of Origin of all NYSC members in my stream.
Out of 2100 NYSC members, 991were from Southeast, the southwest had 657, the North and South South had the rest. But in almost all the Lodges, even in my own lodge where there are 12 Igbos and 8 yorubas, you would be thinking that all of us were ethnically YORUBAs bcoz Yorubas there are chatty, loquacious, noisy and talkative.

What is this one saying again? You are so illogical.

FlawlessKarl:


Even though I am not Igbo, but truth be told, Yoruba will constantly be below the Igbos and all ramifications and continually be the Hausa and Fulani slaves.

Exactly! They played the same tune prior to the presidential election. They all preferred to want another Fulani to win the election if their kinsman did not win simply because of their hatred for Yoruba presidency who they perceive(d) as their enemy.

Ndimkpurummiri:
If Senator Akpabio can not have it let Ahmad Lawan of another Fulani continue
Nothing for you

I actually saw this coming. If he had won the presidential election this is how you would have claimed the unanimous of the Nigerian youths for igbos alone. Thank God some of the woke Yorubas who followed Peter Obi tirelessly during the presidential election later got their senses back. Ungrateful lots!!

CallmeTrinity:
Interesting times we live in indeed
One thing I like about this emergence of Obi is that is has corrected so many lies and propaganda about the Ibo which the Yoruba has spread for decades.

Truth always prevails eventually,no matter how long a lie has spread , one day the truth will come forth

As it stànds the Ibo have shown they are a major tribe with political might , they can give a candidate the presidency .
That lies about them being 5% has been bursted the lies by Yoruba that Ibo have no population has been bursted
Yorubas need to embrace truth and stop tribalism

Are you even sure he is a true son of his so-called Yoruba dad? He doesn't behave like a true omoluabi. The man should check well the circumstance surrounding his birth.

kingthreat:
This man's father failed him.
Instead of raising him to respect his elders, he let his son incline towards his mothers side, where elderly regard is not sacrosanct.
Hence, the disrespectful clown he is.
Rhodes Vivour ko, Rhodes Island ni.

Even Obi himself should be grateful to the Nigerian youths determination to deal with the present government as a result of what happened during the endsars.

Beremx:
Yoruba woman for that matter. Urchins on nairaland should be grateful to Obi. First a Yoruba and second a woman.
For where e don happen?

He's going nowhere! He thinks the unexpected success the labour party had in Lagos in the just concluded election will make him the next governor of Lagos State. No way! Not for someone like him who mocks his tribesmen with the slightest opportunity. I used to like his personality not until his persistent mockery of the Yorubas surfaced online.

klimkid:
Gbadegbo is good at insulting older people. I really don't know what plans he has for Lagos State. That guy will use his first four years in smoking weed and chasing women. The guy go run mad if he becomes Governor of Lagos State.

Good for her

Realmi:
...he was a nice and easy going man

He had 2 kids.....lost one early last year....now this is happening....i wonder why anyone will want to wipe out his whole family

You really knows the family.

EjaikreTheViper:
This cheap shameless APC stipend collector has come again with his rotten threads.

By the way, where is the wife of the orangutan?

Why are you dodging the question? Give your opinion and possibly list the achievements of whoever you believe has been the best governor ever in Edo State.

Ibramini:
Messi is the only hope Argentina had. If not, France would have won the world cup

. You forgot to mention the heroic performance of their goalie too, Emiliano Martinez. That guy is a super performer when it comes to big games/finals. His contribution to arsenal's/Arteta's FA cup glory shot him to limelight and he never stopped showcasing how good he is since then.

The scheme still dey owe me two months stipend. I was part of the first set of the npower program in Lagos State, unfortunately we were not paid our first two months when we started in 2016, we heard Ambode failed to sign some documents to prove we have been accepted and started working in the state because Mr president did not inform him first. For the first two months, we were not paid while our counterparts in other states got their money.

Waste of resources.
