redsun: Shame to subcreatures like means pride and vice versa.Achebe is a noble man and noble men are dignifiable creature.

noble man that helped pushed his people into a war they could not win and ran away after they lost, he later came back years later to start blaming others on why they lost.

geeez: We don't care who he appoints where. As long as we have regional autonomy, we are fine. We have a development plan for our region and we don't give a hoot what happens anywhere else as long as it doesn't affect any Yoruba person. We have learned out lessons and will forthwith take our destiny in our own hands

the group is just full of appointment seekers that have no plan for the yoruba people. I agree with you 100%

anonimi: I am sure his father (and probably himself) is a [size=14pt]tax payer to the LASG among so many other millions "non-indigenes".
It is their taxes, levies, fines that make Fashola praise himslef that he has greatly increased internally generated revenue (IGR) to enable him have a budget of almost N500billion.[/size]
His father and other non-indigenes were begged by Fashola to remain in Lagos for the last census so their federal allocation can be included for Lagos state.
So why should they not have equal rioghts as the "omo onile"/ indigene
The same way many Nigerians are equal without question in the US, Britain and other countries with white "indigenes". How many times have we celebrated the election of black Nigerians into political offices in these white lands?
Is it not time we stop behaving like we are still in the 17th century AD?

Any one who wants to leave his father's land and work elsewhere to pay tax is welcomed to, that does not remove the fact that he's not doing it on borrowed grace.
fashola never begged anyone to remain for census, he was not in office in 2006! it shows how biased your 'wonderful contribution' is. it is up to western countries to allow non indigenes any leeway, their choice. everyone knows what they have done in the past concerning rights, so don't come here preaching.
i'm sure you will hide your face when those you are speaking for performs actions related to 17th century.

PointB: Why is it annoying to use Lagos? Is Lagos not a microcosm of Nigeria, judging from its cosmopolitan nature?

The earlier folks like you begin to accept that beyond, Yoruba, other non-indigenes are also stake holders in Lagos, the better for all of us.

@topic,
It is politics, who has the support base should go for it. In a free and fair election, Tinubu imposition of candidate will come crashing like a house of card. Let the game begin!

No one is denying your stake holding, the point is you are tenants so you should know your place and stay your place. Bini people that have equal stake in Lagos as other Yorubas are not making noise about it. tell me, who is your father in this lands?

[quote author=]Any nigerian born and bred in Anambra is an Anambran as well
There are hausa and igbo people who's ancestors have been in lagos longer than some yoruba there.
Almost nobody in lagos is an indigine, unless you believe the colonials ran into a huddle of 20 million precolonial africans when they go there.[/quote]This guy suffers from chronic illitracy. go back to grade 1 and start again.

Nigeria's hope was grounded in 1914 and destroyed in 1966. eeeyaah.

if arewa likes, let it chase jonathan, power is going to the middle belt this time. i would prefer tiv, igalla or idomma person.

lies, lies and lies. if transmission is the problem, why can't they just fix it. how do they want us to believe what we cannot see, when they lie about the obvious?
president jonnie, you have not done it if we cannot see/feel it. generation/production is 4500MW period! you are a layman leading laymen, don,t preach rocket science!

[quote author=Dr. Wise]Olu of Warri or Olu of Itsekiri??

Una don start again!

Okpijo crisi still fresh in my mind.

Proudly Urhobo![/quote]warri is itshe-land, whether na olu of warri or olu of itshekiri, all join, na the same thing. if you people want to fight about it, go and ask the ijaw what they cried back in 2001. a word is enough for the wise.

Get2go: When I say Non-yoruba rulin Lagos in 2015, i'm not refering to Igbos because they are not the only ones making up the greater percentage of Lagos population. And since we are in a democracy, i strongly believe that a man from Eastern or Northern origin will be the governor of Lagos in a free and fair election if all non-yorubas support his candidacy. Governance is about the welfare of the citizens of a country residing in a particular place and i believe in Hausa man or Igbo or Ijaw Governor of Lagos will do just fine for indigenes and non-indigenes considering that non-yorubas constitutes for about not less than 70% of Lagos population. This can as well be applicable in any state of the federation.

Where did you get the figure like that, people like you are the reason why nairaland is not considered a serious forum....spewing garbage out of twisted imaginations. Poodle.

the op must be highly high on weed to post this rubbish. abeg thread closed!

Who is Adichie sef? another pint brained follow-follow person i'm sure.

When my wife had our daughter in february, both inlaws came to stay with us, in about a month I noticed both my mom and my wife's mom behaving like two cats in the house, then I had to excuse my mother to leave so that my wife's mother can stay. Reasons being that if my mother stays, she may try to run how my wife lives in the house and i would not have my wife disrespect her, but my wife's mother can relate with my wife anyhow, its not much of a concern to me except that when I am at home my food should be ready and I should have my private moments with my wife. Shikena!

Jesus is a black man! Period!!!

look at it this way; a scale over 10 to predict performance.
The North ups: agricultural potential and non oil mineral resources that can be tapped to create a strong economy. downs: will be a divided state in itself where the hausa/fulani try to impose themselves on the igala, tiv jukun and others who will resist because them eye don open. they also have unfinished crisis with SW over ilorin and yagba teritories, verdict 6/10

The South-South downs: will be divided on Ijaw versus others crisis; and will be prey to the SE who will try to bully them directly over oil and former links with biafra, the SW that will try and use its relationship with bini and itshe to try and carve up more oil lands from SS. ups: if the edoids/bini refuse SW, itsekiri will not, SS(edoids+ijaws)can invite the USA as guardians if the get themselves united. 8/10

The South-West ups has untapped oil in ondo, lagos and ogun states, and can also claim itshekiri lands as part of its own, with its highly developed industrial sectors and fertile land for agriculture, the SW can also unite with bini that will take along other edoid territories to join with it creating a strong, homo cultural nation Downs: edoids may refuse to join the SW and there will be war over ilorin and yabga territories with the north. 9/10

[b]The South East[/b]ups: hardworking, industrious and survival of the fittest attitude and with most of the population sourjorning outside the nation will make it succeed as a nation. downs: a nation of wanderers as evidenced by majority living out of the lands, landlocked and not fertile enough to support population, may not really have friends around it due to past histories. 7/10

starbasi: Do not be deceived,obama is a confirmed illuminati AGENT.keep fooling urself and pretending dat u dont know

you must be an Illuminati member to have known that yourself.

another crap, only fit enough for wiping a dog's ass.

you no get work ni?

emeka762001: okorocha is a fake man. i wld prefer a mad man to be a igbo leader than rocha okorocha.

hear yourself, you must be a mad man indeed to have mad this rubbish statement.

seanet01: Mohammed Lawal. I love this Neo Yoruba man i swear.

lawal was a Yoruba hero, but he moved too soon and in isolation. God bless his soul.

somebody threw empty hand in the air and all of you started fighting over it, has it been confirmed if the report is true? if so what's the source? the op just wrote a piece out of his wild imagination and you'all started tribal wars over it.
Gosh! I wonder how I got myself involved with these nairalanders! if Tinubu or yorubaman go against regionalism for the status quo, I'll kill him myself.

if biafra get reach the weapons this guy get, dem for no lose the war.

if any justice is done Achebe should be hanged by international criminal court for participating in a government that allowed its people starved and ojukwu corpse should exhumed and hanged for leading his people to a war he could not win.

dat na op and him wife.

I support d creation of ijebu state and I'm fully behind regional integration with d obas as permanent members for the sake of stability.
it doesn't have to be ACN alone that controls the west, whichever party that does, minus PDP and other anti SW parties, should be fully in support of regional integration be it economic or other-nomic.

Chukskalidon: Hahahaha Boko Haram is also an achievement?. But don't u think the industralization of the Yorubas is being made lively by the Igbos

if not for the industrialized Yoruba land and their superior education, ibos wouldn't troop into Yoruba land, and of course mixture of cultures is what makes an area lively.

kingingkinging: How can Yoruba be cowards?
1. We moved the motion Nigeria independence-read yoru histroy book-Enahoro(Edo) and Awolowo ijebu.
2. We are the only region tackling the ruling power since 1960 till today-is there PDP in the SW?
3. We are the only region where the new things are initiated-1st television in Africa, 1st international standard stadium, 1st university, 1st regional university, most industrialized, most sophisticated and advanced, 1st light rail, 1st dedicated BRT lanes, you can never meet us. Otondo.
We always think before we act. If Yoruba decides to leave tomorrow, I can tell you there would be no shedding of blood, just by getting a referendum signed by all stakeholders, but your stupid selfish leaders would waste millions of your men and run to Ivory coast, London, Amaerica, and be shouting Awolowo, Tinubu, Obasanjo, etc from there forgetting about their senselessness. The painful part is you children are not also wise.
Now Yoruba has gone back to Agriculture, building army through native intelligence (OPC), keeping our oil and Bitumen(Ondo,Ogun and Lagos), keeping our gold (Ilesha, etc).
Tomorrow you will start shouting marginalization. Bunch of unwise people, only to blame others for their foolishness.

why did you have to tell all these? these simple things to yorubas are too complex for ibos to comprehend.
