I am not sure I agree with you sir. In 2026 your home is where you choose to make it. In the same Lagos are numerous people from Oyo, Osun, Ekiti etc, who have never been there and have no intention of ever going. Is Lagos not then their home? Similarly numerous people of Igbo extraction born in Mushin, Ajegunle, Isale Eko who speak better yoruba than some indigenous Yoruba, they have never been to the east and couldnt locate their villages even if you gave them a map.

You may not agree with their choices of home, but as long as Nigeria remains one indivisible country, you cannot drive them away from their chosen home.

You may not agree with me, and that's perfectly fine, but I said what I said: Lagos is Yoruba, and Yoruba is Lagos. Your agreement is not required for that position.

The fact that someone's grandfather was born in Lagos does not automatically make them ethnically indigenous to Lagos. Birthplace and ancestry are not necessarily the same thing. You can't erase the Yoruba cultural and historical heritage of Lagos because of "one Nigeria"— it won't happen. If you're not proud of your own ancestral land, that is your problem. I won't share my heritage with you, especially a non Yoruba.

And, dude, I'm a proud "Ronu," not a "Ponu"!

And would that be a crime? The Southwest had 8 years of Obasanjo presidency and then 8 years of Osinbajo as Vice, and now, Tinubu is currently President. It's the turn of the South but which of the South? Monkey dey work, baboon dey chop.

If you're talking about the South East, you can put that idea to rest—it simply isn't going to happen.

As for the "Monkey and Baboon" reference, kindly place it in its proper context. The reality is that, in Nigeria, Yorubaland has long been one of the nation's foremost economic powerhouses—the goose that lays the golden eggs. That's not an opinion; it's a fact reflected in its contributions to the country's growth and development.

Mattswaggz:
Take your advice first by following the deities of your roots as well instead of the one foreigners forcefully fed your ancestors.

Lol! Make yourself understandable, dude—what exactly are you trying to say? Your post is riddled with grammatical errors, so it's difficult to make any sense of it. However, if it's about my heritage, as I suspect, then trust me: no one is more genuinely "Omo Isale Eko"—a true-bred son of Lagos with deep ancestral roots—than I am.

My ancestors? You've probably read about them in your history books. They were prominent, influential, and wealthy figures of their time.
And here's one thing you should understand: no outsider will ever be allowed to erase the Yoruba heritage of Lagos. No matter how hard they try, that will never happen.

DLSReigns:
If Obi is desperate,what will you say of Tinubu and Atiku? Remember Tinubu and Atiku can't face him for a public debate. Can you hire someone who won't present themselves for an interview?

Can't face who in a public debate? Lol! The same Obi who never seems to speak without a prepared script? Your Obi can be called many things by you,and by all his supporters, but brilliant or intellectually formidable certainly isn't one of them.

Lagos is not your home, man—and it never will be. When we say some of you don't think before you speak, it's not meant as an insult; it's simply an observation.

My ancestral land cannot be your home unless you can show me your family compound—your agbo'le. I honestly don't understand this relentless obsession with Lagos. Be proud of where you come from, man, and celebrate your own roots instead of trying to lay claim to someone else's heritage.

I'm not surprised— it's in them! May God be with you, boy.

140 to be flown to Nigeria from Ethiopian prison, and another two have just been caught in Thailand! Are they not representing Naija well?

This one will just be shouting "deal" "deal" up and down! What kind of yeye deal are you hoping to have with those diehard religious terrorists?!

A potential thriller— a must–watch!

I don't believe this story, even though kidnapping is rampant in Nigeria. When exactly did this incident occur? Why wasn't it reported by any major news outlet?
It reeks of fake news from every angle—I'm not buying it.

Governor Adeleke is half Yoruba and half Igbo. Even the people of Osun State complain about the way he reasons. "Ade Dancer" is not particularly smart; he has simply been fortunate enough to come from a wealthy family.

You're absolutely right, Kemi. Tinubu has been a huge disappointment. How do you gain power and then suddenly seem not to know what to do with it?

The system on the ground cannot work, and Tinubu knows it. Why is it so difficult for him to ignore the political consequences and put a workable system in place? Certain ethno-religious interests are benefiting from the current rotten system and prefer to maintain the status quo. What annoys me most about Tinubu is that, for political reasons, he appears to be supporting their agenda.
Nigeria can never truly prosper if we continue down this path.

Tinubuuuuuu, restructure Nigeria! Let those who want to live like Afghans and Somalis do so, while those of us who desire progress and development are allowed to pursue them as well.

The exact reason why you'll never become President of Nigeria. Those who say you're a tribal project did not lie after all.

Each time I remember that there is a blessed country called Israel, then I know it's just a matter of time for the next terrorist to kiss the dust. Deal or no deal, Israel will do the needful at the appointed time.

God bless Israel.

The World Cup is football's biggest stage—it's where elite players and top-class teams belong. You don't show up there with average local-league players from obscure clubs and expect to compete with the best. South Africa simply lacks the quality required to make a serious impact at the global level. Tonight's performance exposed that reality for everyone to see.

DeepSight:
Then why are you supporting the actions of a pervert, a racist, a rapist, a PDFILE, a con man and a pathological liar?

Why are you judging another human being as though you are a saint yourself? Even if you have evidence to support all the adjectives you've used to describe the person you're referring to—though I honestly don't know who that is—shouldn't you leave the judgment to his or her Creator? You're not a Saint, man.

DeepSight:
You have no part of Christ in you, you wage war upon Christ.

Christ lives in me— you're ignorant.

DeepSight:

Better!

DeepSight:
Hahahahahahaha! You are not worth it bro. U will grow up dont worry.

Only if the bots will allow me! Trust me, you don't want to tango with me.

Grow up? Believe it or not, I'm your G-father's mate. Put some respect on my mentions, boy.

Musiliu Obanikoro, Omo adugbo mi— a wa la l'Eko!

DeepSight:
Lawd. I dont know how to approach the stoopidity of this.

Do you have a mirror? Take a look in it. Trust me, what you'll see is the real definition of "stupidity"!

Okay......those Bandits,who are not flaunting cash on Tiktok should be left alone, right? We are not just ready in this country,walahi!

Reloadedisraelp:
how about datti Ahmed?

Oh....Datti Ahmed,the Mauritanian, trust me, he knew that Obi would never become President of Nigeria. Have you listened to him in recent times?

If you're from a country heavily populated by terrorists, the chances that you are a terrorist yourself are very high. Kudos to Mr. Trump in this regard.

Mr. Peter Obi is about to learn the biggest political lesson of his life. How on earth could he believe that Kwankwaso truly wants to be his running mate? Laughable!
Obi will learn. Even you, as an Obidient, are simply being played. No politician from the North will genuinely support or position someone from the East to become President of Nigeria.

Yauri, Kebbi state born Gbenga Olewepo—Hashim is a gentleman,though.

I can only hope that some of them have learned their lesson. You cannot live in a foreign land and constantly insult your hosts by calling them lazy, ugly, dirty, and all sorts of names. They certainly won't make your stay comfortable, and sooner or later, you may find yourself being shown the door.

This is what happens when people foolishly assume they are wiser than their host community. You go around displaying an irritating sense of entitlement in a foreign country, insisting that you have exactly the same rights as your hosts from day one—no be madness be that?

Welcome home—to Shege Banza Pro Max 2!

@Oyindamola, are you trying to mock God after answering your prayers? Everything you asked for in your prayers in Nigeria, God provided for you in America. Instead of thanking God, you're here spewing gibberish.

smallsmall:
Nigeria's defenders are an embarrassment, imagine taking these sort of Clowns to the World Cup.
Ola Aina is just tall-for-nothing! Lazy and sluggish. Imagine if Ronaldo had connected properly with the Ball that passed right in front of Aina and He could even make the effort to stick his leg out, and he calls himself a defender?

"Animal farm" is tired and dodging the ball, he does not want a short to hit him!
The Two goals Portugal scored were not fantastic but these bunch of Sluggish Snails playing for Nigeria allowed such cheap goals.

Kudos to that young attack who scored our only goal.
He is hungry to establish himself, Six Goals in six International Call-up!
That is the type of Players we need, not al these second rate players like Bassey, Aina, etc

And our Keeper Okoye tried, he gave a good account of himself, in front of lazy and unintelligent defenders

Dude, Ola Aina wasn't even in the game. And what exactly do you mean by "a good account" from Okoye? A goalkeeper who conceded four goals in just two matches hardly deserves such praise. Okoye simply isn't good enough, man.
Do you even know who Ola Aina is? He's an excellent player—a world-class, modern, and highly mobile defender. I honestly don't understand how you can criticize Bassey while praising Okoye.

The coach should stop inviting Okoye and, by extension, Chukwueze to the Super Eagles camp. In my opinion, neither of them has done enough to justify a place in the team

All mouths and no action— Trump should go and sit down!
