Those who want to divide Nigeria should hide their heads. They have showed the basis of their dream lack good reasoning. Those who want Nigeria as one are not throwing away dividing Nigeria but a national conference first will be good. Se if we can agree on terms. We need to try responsible government. This worked for Canada. Provincial government. Where the federal government is just a platform for national security and promotion of unity economically, politically.  etc, but each province controls his own. Every tribe should have their province no matter how small. It will work. Fg can also assist provinces not catching up with others. Everyone must be independent!!

Keep talking about biafra you - no one give a fuk about 1966 or who died in it. We know theyre yorubas who participated in it majority of whom were northern yorubas. so wetin concern me im from Lagos?

Im actually laughing because islam came to the yorubas before it was introduced to hausas- everyone knows that even hausas themselves.

Its you guys that are on here sounding worried I dont see anything in igbo people that would make yorubas threatened and I dont see anything in Hausas-fulanis that yorubas should fear either. I see all of you (igbos hausas and fulanis) as regular people in naija.

The thread was about igbo population in LAGOS- It was igbo people who reverted back to the 1966 way of thinking, we have significant population of igbos in Lagos lets prepare for any ethnic  clashes, THE SAME THING IGBOS THOUGHT IN 1966 IN THE NORTH -

sjeezy8:
Use your brian you - Hausas-fulanis do not constantly kill yoruba people- We know yourre dum.b but please there no need to show more ignorance.

Hausas-fulanis if anything have been the more than peaceful in yorubaland for over 300 years. Aside from different scuffles that are minor. Anytime it was a yoruba hausa clash anywhere in yorubaland Hausas-fulani were left fleeing back to the north  and came back after everything is over to be peaceful again.

clashes between (yoruba vs hausa-fulanis) arent serious - just like clashes between (kanuris vs. hausas) or (fulanis vs. nupes) and (Hausa vs fulani the most frequent) are nothing.

Yorubas dont talk to much, cause we already know wassup - we dont go into another person land and run mouth - then complain of genocide.

sjeezy8:
also some igbos parading the pictures of the dead Balewa and Bello who were killed by igbos - in the north. Who does that in a land that theyre not even majority or equal to it. It was that false sense of security igbos thought they had in a few northern states- not having in mind there are fulanis-hausas other northern tribes who surround the whole north from different countries.
That 1966 massacre of the igbos was more than just an hausa-fulani thing its was the whole North against igbo.

Should something happen that same false sense of security by population in One area will replay its self.

Even Hausa-fulanis, urhobos, ijaws, edos who have been in yorubaland before igbos have more sense to know you dont start ethnic conflict in a region where youre outnumbered.  

I mean common sense- How many igbos are in Lagos compared to the Number of yoruba in Lagos, Ogun, Ekiti, Osun, Kogi, Ondo, Kwara. Yorubas stretch from North Nigeria to south Nigeria.

I haven't contributed to this thread that much cause i don't know about Cameroon that much but Nayah your posts are rather condescending. So you try to sound intelligent but your true intention is biased. Fake online personality if you ask me. You try to support one side of Nigeria and here more of them bashing Nigeria cause you tickled their emotion by mentioning and talking like you support something which has always been their dream and they believe is their divine destiny. A snake in my opinion. You want to sound like you'll love a peaceful relationship between the two countries but you post stuffs that insults Nigeria and praise your Cameroon. You give your post a different summary that makes you sound like you have good intentions but the bodies of your posts are something else. Wow dude!! Igbos are in Nigeria right now and believe it or not if they can't have their own nation, they won't be supporting Cameroon either. Why do you want Obudu? I haven't heard you criticizing your country for wanting what isn't theirs'. Obudu won't go to Cameroon instead their will be a war which will unite Nigeria. You'll be surprised by how devastating it will be if you provoke a people who need a common enemy to unite. Nigerians don't have a common enemy so they fight themselves. Human psychology hasn't advanced that much so we still need a common enemy so we can stop fighting ourselves. But believe it or not. You think the Igbos like Cameroon? Only foolish Igbos will support you and I have seen one here. Cameroon sold out the Igbos by giving Nigeria access to their land so Nigeria can get in. Your people betrayed the Igbos' cause and you are now trying to talk like you are behind them? You are a green snake lurking in the green bush for rea. Go away!!!

Nayah:
PHEMMY, once again it's not all about money brother, and keep on your mind that you have 150 000 000 against 22 000 000 in Cameroon, so your comparison with revenue it's not relevant. Try to compare this with South Africa and will see, Anyway do not understand why when it comes to military system and strateggy, some are only the economic argument forgetting that if a nation's not united and not prepared every single naira would be usefully spend. Just some of you need to try not thinking everything with money cause it contributes to some things but not everything sorry.

ziddy:
igbo this, igbo that. igbo people are too greedy for their own good - if the real lagos pple hear all this crap and decide to do some ethnic cleansing, you guys will start screaming genocide.

sjeezy8:
hausas-fulani are counted as one and will probably always be one.

sjeezy8:
hausas-fulani counted cows past tense. fulanis are the lasgest tribe in Africa and Hausas are def one of the largest tribes in Africa.

So in Nigeria- as many impoverished hausas and illiterate- they DEF do outnumber any other tribe in Nigeria for the simple fact-They are Strongly polygamous and come to Nigeria from all over africa DAILY.


So if hausa-fulanis didnt out number yorubas or igbos they Definately do now.

It all all Yoruba press propaganda. No Igbos travelled out of Lagos for census.

becomrich3:
Yorubas are are nearly 90% not even what I said. I just do not want to sound bias. Other ethnics in lagos tend to speaker Yorubas, like the uhrobo,isoko, edo and others.   It is only the igbos that have refused to change. It is hard for you to find an Uhrobo man or isoko or edo man who has lived in Lagos for 20 years and does not speak yoruba. But you would find many igbos who do not. They refuse to assimilate with the society.


100%  of Uhrobo, isoko ,edo etc children born in lagos all speak yorubas as thier first languages. But even if an igbo person was born in lagos. they would not speak Yoruba, even if they understand it. mostly among the Igbo men. but 100% of Uhrobo, isoko ,edo  born in lagos or have lived in lagos for many year speak very good yoruba. And most time never speak thier languages. You cant even tell, when Uhrobo, isoko ,edo  etc are speaking Yoruba, expect they tell you . They are the one I believe Fashola should reward because of population.

~Bluetooth:
will you google this too for  a reliable source because your matter dey tire memodify what ? Most of those people are yoruba or what are you pointing out ? By the way,how many people did you make contact with to arrive that more people speak ibo than yoruba ? Dont mention ajegunle,please

sjeezy8:
All I know is in Lagos the only people speak their native language amongst eachother But urhobo, ijaws, igbos fulanis-hausas, calabar people all speak yoruba for the most part.

Even in the BBC welcome to Lagos- the man the lived in the river was from the Niger delta and was speaking yoruba married yorubas like noooo tomorrow, or even the igbo guy who was speaking yoruba to his wife.

which would let one know Aside from english yoruba is the second largest language.

~Bluetooth:
Can you imagine, How is it a bad example?
The point of contact to assess spoken language in lagos is  mostly in the markets and at motorparks because of the large amount of people that patronise this system daily.how can you pick a resident to judge a population of 15 million people.are people so dumb '?

~Bluetooth:
and where is the truth in what you just wrote. . . .have you ever seen lagos conductors calling their passengers in ibo language ? where did you go that you see most residents speaking ibo than yoruba ? Lwkmd

becomrich3:
That why I provide  you link to see old student. the truth hurt. Go to facebook and research it.

tpiah:
^^if you're igbo then of course you'll only hang out in areas with a high concentration of igbos.

so quit assuming things.

that's like someone going to houston or new york and saying only nigerians live there.

becomrich3:
Igbos use to live in lagos before the creation of Abuja. Even el rufia said so, the igbos moved in mostly to abuja. You would be shock by the number of igbos in abuja. most of them use to live in lagos.

Even the last time I came to lagos, i was asking people what happen to igbos in lagos, where did they go. I was told they all moved to abuja.

sjeezy8:
dear chyz please do your homework- the british didnt own any slaves in LAGOS. Lagos was a porutguese town the british had nothing in Lagos. When slavery ended the people who came to Lagos were repatriated yoruba free slaves. Who dominated trade in LAGOS.

The british saw how the repats in Lagos were working, how intelligent they were and saw it as a domain into the colonising of un westernized yoruba folks.  LAGOS HAS ALWAYS BEEN A HOT SPOT bro.  

Even the british/portguese knew dat.

sjeezy8:
hey thats enough stop making a mockery of yoruba people- WE KNOW IGBO PEOPLE DONT LIKE ANY NON IGBOS IN IGBOLAND!

lol lets see before easterners came to lagos- if the east has so much swag why did they change the capital from east to Lagos- even the colonialist know Lagos is a hot spot. The brazilians cubans american slave carribeans who were of yoruba extraction knew it. Thats what LAGOS IS BUILT ON. not any east anything no offense, there wasnt any known eastern people in LAGOS before the colonialist came.

The first easertn person people knew about in LAGOS was Zik and thats because of Herbert macauley- a yoruba. Lagos was always hott.

I meant joining and not bringing in. What is the percentage of yorubas in Benin Republic?. I do not think yorubas are the largest ethnic group there, correct me if I am wrong. What is the percentage of Efiks in Cameroun? Few.   Hausa is the largest ethnic group in Niger republic, so if they vote that they should unite with Nigeria then there is a possibility.
