BlackPikiN: You are very very sick.

You speak with so much hate and absolute wickedness.

Na wa for you.

and you think that, that is as a result of sickness? Come on, i'm just hating you back in kind, darling. Don't hate the playa...

spyder880: And they have to buy us out, the smell of mega billion$

why? The lands do not belong to you but the Lagos state government. If the government wants use of the land, you get didly squat! All you get is the same excuse given to you as the one we offered to you for Tejuosho. Lo ba pari!

bashr8: if those mentioned areas go down it wont change much ,it will affect not more than 20 percent of igbo grip on lagos after all its not only igbos that own shops in those places. transcorp alone is buying up almost the whole nigeria including transcorp hilton and your here worrying about markets lol

It's all about maths, bruv. The tax revenue generated from Transcorp in one month might take up to six months to obtain from sme. I know I would rather have twenty transcorp hiltons in alaba than have thousands of shanty shops, thank you!

Technocracy: I just wonder why some sick minds would want to discredit a statement born out of a legitimate concern,he has the right to speak because he is an igbo leader and stake holder,before and after Tinubu and Fashola they come to Igbo house to ask for support after their elections they forget them. A point of note,Igbos as a single tribe pays the highest tax to the coffers of Lagos state Government and has the highest population,so as to say the have a deciding numerical strength, Lagos state being cosmopolitan in nature compared to other advanced societies vis a vis globalization should accomodate in their political leadership the people who makes the highest contribution financially and nurically to the lagos state project. Justice one is justice for all.

If their population is highest and they pay the most tax, why on earth are they not significantly represented in the government and why would they allow a Yoruba governor to dictate to them? Heck! That governor's seat should belong to them and the Oba of Eko should have been long replaced with an Eze, non? Get of that apoteshi bruv, it's bad for you.

EzeUche: These Chinese are truly our rivals in Lagos. They will fill the void if the Igbos are forced to leave, not Yorubas.

Funny thing is that i'd be happy to see them stay over you lot.

bashr8: did you say marginalised so you people fall for that crap . look around you thats if you live in nigeria, look at government cabinets right from 1999 now look at the econmoy and who controls all the commercial cities in nigeria(yes yoruba have a large stake in lagos but lagos is just one state out of 36)look at the poverty and unemployment plus literacy rateaccross the six zones then tell me who is marginalised and who isnt. igboland alone have 3 international airports to start with. hmm so that marginalisation story is actually selling .

There are international airports and there are international airports. These airports that you mentioned, do they serve in the capacity of interntional or are they just mere glorified local airports?

I think it is very myopic to think that the sme control the economy. Yes, in liquidity, perhaps but in stocks? Niggga please!!! I think you lot really need to sit down and do the maths. Just because you sit in your 4x4 shop surrounded by Ekenedilichukwus and chukwudi all in one area does not translate to having a strong financial influence in the economy of the country, you know. Yes, we give you guys for the small scale businesses but when it comes to being in the big league, the movers and shakers, you know you lot sit and take notes, come on, bro!

bashr8: yea right , wishes , after that who will replace them ? chinese or indians that have already taken over sef.infact igbos in lagos are more worried about chinese , indians than yoruba or govt. will u also dismantle all the multinationals, hotels, schools etc owned by igbos? men listen to yourself.

If those exist, they do not command presence like the aforementioned areas in my post.

bashr8: so who is to blame, the igbos that have continued to shout and even fight to leave this hell called nigeria or yorubas that keep attacking every thread about thereby encouraging us to be more patriotic and buy more lands in lagos unto one nigeria things.

You are not to blame, the Yorubas are for being so lax about everything and not seeing that the ore war we claim t have won, is not being lost big time under our noses. We didn't fight to keep you in Nigeria, we just thought it was hypocricy at the highest helm for you to kill the leaders of other regions and then turn around to say you want to leave when your kiths and kins received the same treatment your Ironsi leader dealt us. Not only did you want to leave after kiling our leaders, you chose to annex the fertile oil producing land to your new land of the rising sun. Tell me that that wasn't a reason to fight you. Correction, we didn't fight to keep you from leaving, we fought so that you would eat from the evil your perpetrated. For that evil, you were rightly marginalised by the FG until recent which I honestly think was well deserved.

manny4life: I think you worry about more irrelevant stuff, you can't blame the Igbo man's hustle, yall got to respect his hustle.

not knocking your hustle at all. I just decided to see beyond my nose and going by your leader's antecedents, this rise in ibos population, in Lagos, should be nipped in the bud. First be ensuring that Akabueze or whatever he is called is systematically removed from the commisioner post and making sure such errors do not recur. Secondly, by demolishing all their strong hold areas with the excuse of redevelopment a la Tejuosho market. These wrongs need to be put right.

manny4life: You defined the effect of staus quo but not close. The status quo remains that if one pays their dues under a legal binding law and system, they have every right to freedom of running for office in their state of residence. I wouldn't encourage an Igbo man running for GOV office in Lagos, however, let the electorates decides what affects them not some ethnic shackled system...

Legally and under the Nigerian constitution, the ibos are well within their rights and if I was an ibo extract, I would seek for better representation too regardless of me being an indigene or not. However, speaking as a Yoruba woman, it is everything bad for my ethnicity, my land and my people. It is traditionally and culturally bad news. Africans are generally territorial and allowing other ethnicities to encroach your land at your own detriment is suicidal. Lagos is reaping the fruits of being part of one Nigeria now and its the indigenes like us that lose face.

Rhino.5dm:
Ojukwu lost biafra because of his greed to conquer Lagos. . . .If so, then what makes these self deluded internet fools think they have any chance? I swear to God it won't take more than 3 hours to flush these parasites into Atlantic ocean.


well, lemme be generous not to offend other law abiding Ibos by taking the rants of some few goats with pinch of salt. let the loud mouthed fools enjoy their naked dance here on naira land.


where is Dede1?

but seriously, bruv, ponder over it for a tad. Are these people not indirectly conquering Lagos? Didn't Tinubu foolishly or cunningly put them in government? Are they not arriviing in droves and being given free access daily? Places like Alaba, Ladipo are their strong holds now and we're still here beating our chests? Do they not have monopoly of the sme? Let's not delude ourselves and start smelling the coffee. For now, we have just one ibo commisioner, soon, there would three, four and gradually, they would infiltrate our government. How we ever gave access to one is beyond me. It's infuriating!

manny4life: So after the tenancy holder, then what? Btw, haven't Igbo surpassed that stage?

The right to vote is individual, each person decide what to do with their votes, not I or someone who claims to speak for the entire Igbo race. Whether the Yorubas are asleep or awake, the status quo will never change so it's best they're asleep.

The status quo previously was that you don't sell your father's property and if at all you do, it isn't expected to be sold to a foreigner. Ibos own landed properties in the nooks and crannies of Lagos, heck! We even have an ibo commisioner in our government - something which would have been seen as a taboo years back so I ask you, what is the status quo?

The status quo has long been broken and the true indeginous Lagosians should either accept it or fight it. Right now, it appears that we have been outnumbered by the "foreigners" and we are soon gonna pay for our lackadasical attitude toward accomodating all and sundry!

shymmex: That's because people are tired of your 'Lagos is no man's land' crap..

Lagos has indigenes and we're different from the people in Kwara...

We will never allow anyone lord over us and we built our city from the scratch..

seriously? Don't they currently laud it over you in Alaba, Ladipo et al?

I think some Yorubas are suffering from delusions of grandeur, really.

EzeUche: Maybe I should speak your goat language so that you will understand.

Ko ye mi. So o le so oyinbo?

Anything other than ibo would do. I don't speak baboon language, you see...

manny4life: If you cannot see the problem, exit same way you came in.

Besides, I don't know what supposed house that you let a guest? Pleaseeeeeeeeee

What is wrong in the guest becoming a recognised tenancy holder or even the landlord?

I am in support of you ibos, ojare. The Yorubas have been in a deep slumber and I think it would take the ibos assertion of their election might to jolt them out of their slumber and make them realise that they have been overrun in their own land. Abeg make una go assert that 70% population of Lagos vote ojare.

Carry go, nothing do una.

EzeUche:

The village crier! She has been speaking doom and gloom about Kwara now she is talking about Lagos.

Will her Yoruba people listen to her as the Southwest is being invaded from the North and East?

Sorry, I don't speak ibo.

Could you repeat that in English please?

So what's the problem here exactly?

Serves the Yorubas right! You allowed a guest into your house, he spent months on end, sleeps in your bed, takes meat from your pot at will and now that he wants to include his name tenancy, you dey shout?

Una all go hear am! Dem just dey start!

Are magistrates not lay people?

that short man devil is definitely from the east, forget! He even has that strong eastern accent. The way is pronunced receipt is a sure giveaway. Muahahaha...funny but annoying at the same time. Moraforker!

How anyone can see this as an excellent development is beyond me. Lagos is not London or New York where these displaced people can be accomodated in shelters homeless units. Once they are evacuated, they would have no where to go and thus cause increase in crime rate in the metropolis. I saw Welcome to Lagos and these people are anything but lazy. Of course one may frown at their choice of habitat but this is their culture, their tradition, so to say. No one would argue the illegality of their occupancy but surely the government of Raji Fashola could have extended the arm of compassion and either provided a make shift abode for these people whom would undoubtedly become homeless and possibly a menace to the society when they have no means of livelihood or shelter.

As a true daughter of Lagos, I condemn this move. It is necessary but facilities have not been put in place to enable these people to re-start their lives. I am vehemently against it!

ROSSIKE: You're very thoughtless. Why don't you just shut up?

right after you, sheetbag!

stupid and incoherent minds who think we should be grateful to an incompetent man who is only allowing that, which is our constitutional right. We should be thankful that he didn't rig? Nigerians have been abused for far too long that they have now become demented, they can't tell what is their right anymore. Shame!

juman: Another name is Desola.

This must be the modafor.ker I was referring to.

Citing the civil war is an insult to the Biafrans. Eleriibu.

Demdem: ^^^^^

naaaah, i dont think jamiu is among the squad. he sounds to me like an independent minded Yoruba man that has serious affection for the killer Party and anything that has to do with it. I may be wrong though

I get Jmaine and Juman mixed up. I know one of those monikers is an ardent supporter of Gej and his evil policies and that wherever you find beaf, he would not be far away.

He no go better for this man and his future generation yet unborn. May his family roast in the fire of the bokos. Oloshi!

Jmaine abi na juman nko?

Beaf should have been at the very top of your list, op.

They should be known as Beaf and his 40 laptops minions.

ballabriggs: Laptop 29 hehehehehe Animals!!!

Lol...Beaf is definitely laptop 001!

God bless this writer!

ndu_chucks: In an act which many believe is ill-timed, not well thought-out, illegal, and an attempt to divide the SW, GEJ has succeeded in changing the political game, albeit accidentally. All of a sudden, calls for the prosecution of fuel subsidy thieves have disappeared, the N155billion scandal, and several other national issues have been placed on the back burner and replaced by the "outrage" of renaming Unilag. Even Tinubu publicly announced that the renaming of Unilag was a welcome development, effectively silencing further opposition by SWers to GEJ's act.

Are we now seeing a GEJ who after seeming to have outsmarted Northern politicians and thieves, has now initiated his plans for the recapture of the SW by PDP? The whole thing seems accidental to be, but one thing seems certain, this man, GEJ, is one lucky fellow.

I really do not understand your deduction of GEJ's sinister moves to recapture the SW. If it wouldn't be too much of an effort, can you please expatiate on how his infamous decision to change the name of a prestigious university now conotes the deliverance of the SW to the PDP?

I don't get it.

seriously though, can this decision be reversed? I'm even sadder than the day he won the election. This man has become a thorn in our flesh. I despise him beyond words.

He is a devourer, he has come to destroy all good things in his path. I curse those who voted for him!
