Oga don't twist God's teaching abeg. Giving to Caeser has nothing to do with this scenario. Even in ancient Roman empire non-Romans held high positions some even became Emperors example Septimus Severus who was a North African became emperor.

Does Septimus Severus sound like a black person's name to you?

That There are wyte people in South Africa does that mean they have now become black people.

Eriokanmi:
Your likes are the reasons Nigeria is this stagnant. Its not even as if you have anything meaningful to contribute. In lagos, lots of non-indigenes have ruled us. Sanwoolu, Ambode, Fashola...Aregbe is from Osun. Tinubu isnt from our state but we allowed them. Its now they're endorsing Hamzat that we're kicking. Its time we take our state back and allow one of us to govern.

Just so you know, a permanent secretary in Anambra state under soludo administration is our pesin. I think from same osun state. Google is your friend. Joe Igbokwe, Tinubu's ally who had held good positions in lagos is from where again? Does the name sound like a yoruba name to you? You tribalist Elrufai's PA is a yorubaman. Google it. Radarada

Nigeria is stagnant because other tribes are fleeing to the SW instead of holding their own state governors accountable and building commercial cities in their own states they flee to the SW commercial capital and start dragging the SW with the Yorubas in the name of one Nigeria..

let everyone go and hold their state governors accountable..

Look at northern Nigeria they did not call out and go after their governors when violence is constantly happening in those states now that the violence has gotten out of control they are still complaining instead of holding their politicians accountable.

Irony1:
And your moniker is Christistruth00. Will christ support this kind of bigotry you are doing. On the issue of Okey I recall I asked you show me a Yoruba person that indicated interest for the constituency work and he was not accepted. Up till now you cannot even provide one person. Make una take a easy with these things you are doing.

Besides she never said Biafra is coming, she said a harsh reminder on the scars of Biafra these are two different things. That is why Moniepoint CEO berated Nigerian youths and here you are confirming his claims

yes Christ will support it..

Christ said "give to cesar what belongs to cesar".

in this situation Christ will say "give to Yorubas what belongs to Yorubas".

JuicyEarth:
In Abia State the current Head of Service is from Edo State. People from other states including Yoruba holds prominent positions in Otti's government.

Is it not high time to grow pass this parochial thinking and eschew competence in positions that have direct impact on the populace?

We are all human for crying out loud! Your concern should be her competence level; is she a square peg in a round hole.

those ones likely have igbo mothers...

there are over 90 universities in the SW which produces thousands of Yoruba graduates every year..

so what about all the competent Yoruba people, they should be jobless because of "one Nigeria" while the people taking their jobs have their own states where they can prove their competency...

loveth360:
Is there Anything wrong in those posts?


Abi you people fear the mention of Biafra without knowing the context of the post?

Biafra stands for the destruction of the SW and Yoruba people..

that's why during the ENDSARS protests your friend Nnamdi Kanu was asking your fellow tribes people to burn down Lagos..

the 1966 civil war was an igbo vs Yoruba war.. this is a fact you people fail to understand because it was not explained to you in such manner..

have you ever asked yourself why a region that is very rich in crude oil, gas deposits, coal deposits e.t.c... decided to forget about those riches and go and kill people in the northern region and western region

shortgun:
Many Yorubas are appointed as special assistants by governors in the south east and you won't hear any noise about it but once an Igbo person is given the same opportunity in a Yoruba state it becomes an issue.

Adenike Okebu is the senior Special Assistant on Revenue to Peter Mbah of Enugu State.

The Special Adviser on Health Matters to Enugu State Governo is Yomi Jaye.
Two Yorubas appointment by one Igbo state, yet no noise

check well they have igbo mothers...

the SE has crude oil, one of the largest gas deposits in Africa, one of the largest coal deposits in Africa

while Yoruba people don't have the level of crude oil the SE have, the SW does not have gas deposits, does not have coal deposits.

when it comes to natural resources wealth the SE is extremely richer and wealthier than the SW and the rest of Nigeria and they should not be allowed to participate in politics outside the SE.

SW is significantly poorer than the SE...

so it is not wise if SW to vote non-SW people into SW political position

No rodents in Nigeria anymore.

Rodents in Nigeria are on the run....

SW are really seeing something.

We already know the people behind the kidnapping

Osariemen12:
To think that the rubas said horrible things about Aketi and his and their governance of the state is sickening. Now that they are gone, where are the men in the state?

One party leader will ask, "Where are their cows?"

Bebold:
Imagine the audacity.

Mr."Where are the cows" is not from SW.

he is from gaaambiaa that's why he allows the zerrorists to over run the country..

he has no siblings anyone knows about

he has no parents anyone knew about

he has no cousins anyone knows about

he has no pictures of him in primary school and secondary school

he has no pictures of him when he was a teenager

the above can only be possible if the person is an immigrant.

BigBelleControl:
Concentration of business in the same location helps such business positively. People like to buy things in an area where there are alternatives.
Maybe the woman and the student already had some beef for each other.

Exactly.. that is how China grew their economy.

Lovit:
He no wan make wetin kill Aketi kill him too.

It is quite unfortunate that our governors are controlled by the Fulanee North.

The Sultan controls the army even when he is not the President, Tinubu sold SW just to get power

Lovit:
condemned or crushed?

why is your darling Tinubu afraid to crush the Fulanee terrorists?

You have been sold to the North just for Tinubu to get the Presidency

Even if they kill 2,000 yorubas today, Tinubu won't talk pim!

you have not figured it out yet

the current president is not from SW.

he is a zuulani from gaaambiaa that's why he allows the zuulanis to over run the country..

he has no siblings anyone knows about

he has no parents anyone knew about

he has no cousins anyone knows about

he has no pictures of him in primary school and secondary school

he has no pictures of him when he was a teenager

the above can only be possible if the person is an immigrant.

ElevationD:
Well, your mentality sounds colonized.

If Igbos hold political positions in Yorubaland, it shows that they are interested in governance. While you sleep and wait for tiny slices of Agege bread, they are working hard to build empires in the areas that they find themselves.

Have you tried to contest an election outside your area? Have you even ventured out of your one room, one window apartment to know what’s happening in the rest of the country? A very big and resounding NO. Venture out of your area and let this tribalistic mentality leave you alone.

You are factory fitted with self delusion, jealousy and bitterness at the successes of others.

Well the constitution guarantees freedom of association. Can you wipe it out?

if SE people hold political positions in SW then it shows they are expansionists because they already have their own states in the SE that are far richer than Lagos state due to crude oil, gas and coal deposits there and it means the SW people have zero economic sense.

it also shows that they will exclude the SW people from benefits that should go to SW people and stabilize SW families and this will eventually lead to extreme poverty among SW people...

lawani:
If oil is that huge, why is it forming thirteen percent of government revenue today? Even as the country is not yet collecting PIT? Oil is insignificant as a portion of Nigeria's GDP.

That's what they want you to think.

Oil is 96% of Nigeria's revenue.

Irony1:
Ohhhh so they are not red soil erosion ravaged and poorest region again. See how you guys are desperately twisting narratives.

Only reason there's poverty in the SE in 2026 is because in 1966 certain SE soldiers and leaders who had zero knowledge of economics could not forecast the oil boom that awaited the SE region and due to their superiority complex and mindset to always dominate non-SE people they ignorantly chose to destroy the regionalism that would have made every SE person filthy rich and stinky rich and start a civil war..

Kalulu44:
When last have you ever seen any states in Nigeria aside Lagos been compare to other states in Africa in terms of richest state in Africa?
I await your answer

The rest of Africa and the world is very ignorant of Nigeria and where the resources in Nigeria are located.

ElevationD:
The LGA talked about has a very fair balance of Nigerians living there. It traverses Isolo, Ire-Akari, Ago/Okota, Mafoluku and Oshodi. It’s a very big local government area, with decent people. Religion is moderate and tribalism is moderate. It is one of the most peaceful local government areas in Lagos and it is quite developed. The last elections saw LP defeat APC - in Alimosho of all LGAs -, at the Presidential stage. It did not have to do with tribalism or religion, but the candidate. When it was the governorship, APC won. It did not have to do with the threat by touts, but the choice of the citizens.

Ago/Okota keeps expanding with road infrastructures and people who own houses/businesses are of different tribes. One cannot explicitly say a particular tribe is dominant. But it is incontrovertible that it is Yoruba land, with Obas, Baales and Chiefs. Chieftancy titles in those areas are not restricted to our Yoruba citizens only, as others hold Chieftancy titles there too, well respected and peaceful.

When it comes to elections, the ruling party has not always been the dominant party there. It does not have to do with the tribes, but with the people, who seem to go the individual way. Everyone in Ago/Okota, Isolo, Ire-akari, seems to know everyone. They are independent and are very unbiased when it comes to their candidates. That’s why you can see that the area is not an APC dominated area, even though APC wants the area under its absolute control. It may not be so. But the people are happy with their representatives.

Political positions are also economic position and this non-SW man has access to over N2billion annually...

if the SW people in that area like then they should continue to elect non-SW people then when the SW people in that area become poor then they should not complain...

Goodvibes007:
I too love X.

this is what truly and really eventually caused and led to the civil war.

MasterTeeUSA:
This is a nonsense post. As long as the people are qualified, the process is open and transparent and these people were born and raised in Lagos, it is no big deal.

Here in the US, the Speaker of the House from California before her retirement was born in Baltimore MD. President Biden claims Delaware but was born in Philadephia. What we need is competent people that can commit to improving the welfare of all Nigerians...people that are detribalized. I am yoruba, but we have married into Edo and Abia. So are you saying my cousins from Abia, children of my sisters are not worthy because they bare their father's last names?

We need to move on and move forward. May God bless Nigeria. Those screaming...we need to ask them...what have they done for Yoruba Land?

you are not from the SW..

who you marry should not influence and stop you from investing in your own ethnicity...

the SW people on that list probably have SE mothers...

the SE has crude oil, one of the largest gas deposits in Africa, one of the largest coal deposits in Africa

while Yoruba people don't have the level of crude oil the SE have, the SW does not have gas deposits, does not have coal deposits.

when it comes to natural resources wealth the SE is extremely richer and wealthier than the SW and the rest of Nigeria and they should not be allowed to participate in politics outside the SE.

SW is significantly poorer than the SE...

so it is fuulish of SW to vote non-SW people into SW political position.

Kalulu44:
What's the meaning of all what you wrote now? We're talking of Lagos and you're talking of SW. What happened can only happen in Lagos and never in any other SW state. Why bcus, Lagos is almost for all (I don't want to say no man's land).
And talking about oil or no oil, no states in Nigerian including with their oil is richer than Lagos.

the oil producing states are 100 times richer than Lagos.

Lagos does not have sh*t...

Lagos is richest state in the SW and if SW people don't protect the politics of Lagos state then the poverty that will hit the next generation of SW people will be brutal..

right now SW people are shouting "ebinpawa".. if they don't protect Lagos they will become paupers...

Lagos is not for all...

Lagos is only for SW people.

nobody forced non-SW people to invest in Lagos and make the SW pot big while their own pot remained small and now they want to take the SW pot by changing the politics of the state.

Kalulu44:
And nobody force anybody to vote him in, if that's what you deduce from my write up

he should not have been on the ballot at all in the first place.

the SE has crude oil, one of the largest gas deposits in Africa, one of the largest coal deposits in Africa

while Yoruba people don't have the level of crude oil the SE have, the SW does not have gas deposits, does not have coal deposits.

Irony1:
May God have mercy on you with this your wickedness. You cannot progress with this mindset. Are these people not part of that consituency? Okota who are the predominant people there? Is it not igbos?

you are the one that is very wicked.

the SE has crude oil, one of the largest gas deposits in Africa, one of the largest coal deposits in Africa

while Yoruba people don't have the level of crude oil the SE have, the SW does not have gas deposits, does not have coal deposits.

Kalulu44:
I am an Igbo man though born and brought up in Lagos. In as much as I agree what this Mr Okey did was wrong in all ramifications. But it can only happen in Lagos State. No other Yoruba state except Lagos will accept this and do you know why, it's bcus Igbos too have invested so much in Lagos.
Ask yourself this question, don't you think the Oshodi/Isolo people voted for him so that they can get more of Igbo people's patronage?
.
Lastly, like I said it can only happen in Lagos State but never in the other Yoruba speaking state. I onced stayed in Oshogbo, there's a spare part market that was banned from Igbo people to own a shop there.
That should tell you something

nobody forced them to invest in Lagos.
