I hate it when fg gives Lagos the monopoly in sea port as if the south south and southeast are landlocked

Nobody give anyone monopoly, fg is not holding you from using SS seaport... 🤷

Stop claiming victim, it's irritating...
Meanwhile who dash SE seaport??

Guyman01:
There has always been peace between Igbos and Yorubas until some primitive people from outside Lagos started claiming indigeneship of Lagos and accusing Igbos of trying to rule Lagos State even when there was no Igbo candidates or deputy in the governorship elections across all parties.

Igbos, Yorubas, Hausas and other Nigerians joined together and voted for Peter Obi and he won Lagos State but APC in order to create animosity attributed all his votes to Igbos and in utmost panic that they could lose the Governorship election embarked on a campaign of calumny against Igbos and Yorubas who are not in support of APC.

Outside recent politics Igbos and Yorubas don't have any major issues and relate very well as Kunle will not stop chasing chocolate skinned Onyinye while Ebuka is ready to die ontop Bola big yansh.

Hope Uzodinma is a politician and they are the source of the bad blood and its better they stay out and allow the people to heal and recover from the shock of events that occurred during the last elections

I'm partly Yoruba and I'm bold to say Omoluabi are one everywhere on Yorubaland... I pity people trying to cause religion division among Yoruba... Same way I shake my for you saying Yoruba from another state, it's just rubbish talk by outsiders to massage their ego...

Stay out of South West politics or go home, the message has been clear from the beginning... Igbo may not be lucky next time...💯

I rise

Wilson300:
My dick no long normally so I day surprise

What's your size?

Different girls with different vagina

I just laugh when people try to divide the Yoruba along religion lines...
I grew up in the West and consider myself part and parcel of the Omoluabi race, it's rare to see a house in Yorubaland which is not multi-religious..

Bulldozer90:
why do you guys from the southwest suffer from inferiority complex?

That question should be directed to the South East...

Why do SE like doing attached by force with the SS?

SmartPolician:
Bros, Nigeria is far from united. Unity is a symbol of love. No marriage can work in a situation where love is nonexistent.

There's no love in Nigeria. That's why you see the political class rip the country apart with reckless abandon and their tribal people support them.

So, I seriously encourage young people to marry from their tribes or from tribes their people historically marry from.

We can choose to pretend all we want, but deep down we know that our political decisions affect everyday lives, affiliations, decisions and people.

As for the OP, don't force it. A lady shouldn't marry into a family where she's not accepted because you will end up wallowing in regrets. In Africa, the two families marry, not just the couples.

A word, for the wise, is enough....

Stoplying:
And we voted to leave the western region because we were not comfortable with its yorubanisation which the yorubas who had political favour with the British were pushing on everybody in the region.

p.s: it is Edo-state.
Edo refers to Benin city, the Edo language and the people of Benin empire.

Same way the Akwa-cross people voted to leave the Eastern region because of their marginalisation...

I only reply the guy trying to claim the whole SS as part of the former Eastern region.. Mind you I'm an Edo boy...

Stoplying:
South South will never side with either the south east either the southwest.
But the southwest is just as dumb as the southeast, you guys believe Lagos belongs to you, but you will be surprised in case there is a seperation. And to the best of my knowledge, the southwest (Lagos excluded) is impoverished.
Lagos which is a part of Precolonial Benin kingdom naturally belongs with the southsouth, but my guess is that in the case of a seperation, Lagos will become its own country.

Lagos being a Yoruba land is not even up for a debate, the earlier you understand that the better for you...

Meanwhile calling Southwest impoverished is a joke taken too far, exclude Lagos and you'll still pick Southwest as the most developed region in Nigeria... No be by chestbeating, with or without Lagos SW is always a contender... 💯

Cooly100:
How do Switzerland do it?

Sudan, Lesotho, Austria etc....

There is no point living with groups that detest all your move and the gang up...

The potential of SE is wasted by not being autonomous.

You're the ignorant one here, Edo and delta were part of western region under Awolowo

GloriousGbola:
And russia is as or more corrupt than naija. No guarantee they have not been burning the nuke maintenance money

No country can be more corrupt than US 💯

Igboid:
Go and rest.
There are people from Ikwerre and all these Igbo speaking areas in SS who proudly identify as Igbo.
But Igbo haters like you rather focus on the loud minority chanting they are not Igbo out of political considerations from those places.

Uche Okwukwu was once APC chairman in Rivers, he is an Ikwerre man, yet proudly Igbo.
But people like you are not interested in that.

You should mind your business when you are neither Igbo nor Ikwerre.
Igbo vs Ikwerre matter nah family matter.
We will use pokenosing Igbophobic outsiders like you to settle our issue in the end. Stay clear!

Stop land grabbing okoro, ikwere are not Igbo and will never be Igbo...

karfe:
I respect your view. I do not fully agree with it due the unique history of Lagos compared with the rest of the South-West

In any case, Kaduna and Port Harcourt must then be reintegrated to their respective regions if Lagos remains a state in the Yoruba Region

Unless you're suggesting a general turning of one state in each region to federal territory, there's no way the West will agree with your submission...

sagitariusbaby:
I'm not Igbo but if Yorubas can claim Okun people of Kogi state are Yorubas and even those of Kwara then the Igbo speaking tribes of Delta and Rivers are Igbos. Stop the fuulishness please.

Baba nobody is asking you whether you're Igbo and nobody is calling the Igboid speaking tribes non igbo, they're the one saying they aren't Igbo...

But ikwere are not Igbo, they should stop land grabbing...

karfe:
Please, find below a possible new political arrangement in the event of anticipated restructuring of the Nigerian federation

REGIONS should be Nigeria's federating units, and should be autonomous with most of the powers currently in the Exclusive list vested upon them. They should have control of resources and pay an agreed sum to the centre (FEDERATION) and the states in each region (possibly 30% for Federal, 50% for Regional and 20% for the specific State)

STATES should be retained and be below regions and used to define intra-regional revenue sharing (as suggested above). Heterogeneous regions may also choose to have States controlling resources instead of the Region

The objective is to create autonomous regions which are largely unaffected by interference from other regions, even while being accountable to the larger Nigerian state.

"Each region must be allowed to develop in accordance with its own cultural and ethno-religious mindset. The federal centre should focus mainly on national defence, foreign policy, customs and monetary economics." - Obadiah Mailafia

excanny:
Omay Lay and Burna boy can count as Igbo or Igboid if you like.

They're not Igbo, stop claiming what's not yours...
Why not call igala people Yoruba because they speak yoruboid language? 🙄

mrvitalis:
Omah lay is ekpeye same with burner boy... It's an igbiod group

Some accept their Igboness some don't

Muma gee is also from there

Rema is Benin

You said Omah lay is ekpeye your brother said he's ikwere, who should I believe now?

All in all stop land grabbing, Omah Lay and Burna boy are not Igbo 🤷

kiddkash:
For it is written in 1John 4:1 Dear friends, do not believe everyone who claims to speak by the spirit. You must first test them to see if the spirit they have comes from God

Ignore him...
Baba don cast since, no be today...

Fake predictions doesn't pay...
