So because of your inlaws they will not do what ever it takes to express displeasure on a repressive system?

Perhaps you could move your inlaws to the SW!

Myhusband:
I've in law who are petty traders and affected by this una gross foolishness, there are much dependent on my side



how is the sit at home going to bring Biafra or you think Buhari will release KANU that he spent millions to bring down to Nigeria. you clowns are just so delusional I swear

Why do everyone talk about Igbos in Nigeria? Kilode?

adekolaelect:
yet more moral and Value to the society than those that believe in making only money without moral and values. Moral and values will provide Peace,good security ,one voice and enabling environment in the societies while money can only buy you materials but not moral and Values.

Who are the people mining skulls? Doing yahoo yahoo? Forging certificates?

adekolaelect:
Building Universities doesn't mean majority of your region will be educated bcs it is just a money making venture .SW has Education orientations while SE only has Business orientation. Education orientation can produce moral and values to the society while Businesses orientation can only provide you wealth and wealth can not give you moral and values but educations in the societies.

You're not ready to make sacrifice inpsite of Nigerias continued fall.

How does the sit-at-home in the East affects you? You have a business there? You're not chastising people killing to form a caliphate but hyper ventilating for people staying at home

Myhusband:
but the one you got couldn't influence common sense into your head, NK was ordering your likes to leave your business and sit at home that Biafra will come and you believed him



your own stupidity was designated uniquely

Was it not a Yoruba man that seized Niger Delta oil allocation from going to Lagos? It's Yoruba affair

vedaxcool:
[s][/s]

How is this tears of being refuted have to do with my post and the op? You cease Lagos allocation, it survived and kept paying workers and providing essential services to the People. Your useless governor even with allocation still waited for FG bailout to pay its workers. BAT being a seasoned administrator decided that priority is keep the state running in view of a politically motivated assault from your tyrannical party, PDthieves.

Biafra agitators are working alliances with Oduduwa and Ijaws.

I'm a supporter of Biafra and not Ipob necessarily because the like working alone. No single nationality can defeat the Hausa-Fulani hegemony without alliances. UN already recognized Biafra Oduduwa agitations. Same cannot be said for Edos.

valirex:
Ibo man, what alliance has IPOB made?

I'm from Nigeria, from Biafra, from Niger Delta and from South South.

Lagos has always being built with Nigeria money right from 1914 when the protectorates were amalgamated

christistruth01:
Biafra doesn't have Oil Money

It is Niger Delta that has Oil Money

Biafra is Just doing Long Throat

Besides Lagos had its Own Money and Wealth long before Oil was discovered

So you depend on allocation from Niger Delta oil money to build 4th mainland bridge after using Niger Delta oil money for 3rd mainland bridge, the federal roads and ports in Lagos?

After you'll say Lagos does not belong equally to all Nigerians!

vedaxcool:
Your evil PDP under the leadership of Obasanjo your new found evil slave master withheld Lagos allocation, ask yourself what any sane administrator would do in such situation? He delivered what was possible under the tyrannical strangulation of PDP which deals in poverty and under development.

You stole from the old eastern region when you insisted they must remain in Nigeria.

You don't know what you've done by that singular act. We will buy up properties in Lagos so much so that in 300yrs from now our descendants would be the landlords of Lagos and collecting rent. Your only savior would be when Biafra comes!

Jimasun:
Go and rule your region. Always trying to steal what belongs to others.

I'm not from SE! Besides those oil wells in Ondo belong to Ijaws that Obj carved into Ondo.

How much oil from those wells compared to the oil allocation that has gone to SW since 1970?

Jimasun:
Oil from which region?
Ondo state produces more oil than any state in SE

If you're serious, you'll look for alliance because you can't do it alone. But ofcourse even you know it's pretense!

valirex:
So why asking Ẹdo to ally with the others?
Did you ask them to ally with us?

Better act matured

And now you're aware Edo wants it's own Kingdom too

I do not care about Azikiwe and Awolowo.
They ruined Nigeria from foundation.

Your comment makes no sense because if Awolowo doesn't want Azikiwe as premier in West, why form same country with him?

Bush was governor of Texas why is brother was governor of another US state(North Carolina I think). If you wanna practice US Federal system, do it but not a caricature of it

christistruth01:
Your attitude helps one to understand better why Awolowo thought that Azikiwe becoming Premier of the Western Region was a totally foolish and unworkable idea

Oil from my region was used to build all the federal roads in Lagos including the 3rd mainland bridge. Majority of the infrastructures were built with Niger Delta oil wealth

Ttalk:
Ode, and when we ask where you are from you would mention one forest jungle from that erosion ravaged region.

Tell me what exactly your region contributed in development of Lagos?

I'm not from Onitsha but I can stay in Onitsha as well as Lagos by virtue of being a Nigerian and I have same right as people from Onitsha and those who migrated to Lagos earlier.

If you insist on one Nigeria then one Nigeria it is. Nobody owns anything!

christistruth01:
Yorubas are not dragging Onitsha with you

Be contented with what God has bequeathed to you

Chose your own vanity and leave Igbo vanity alone!

ultiabaz36:
Igbos, they can do anything when it comes to money forgetting that all is frivolity and vanity...

It's the women that are supposed to call the men out. You expect men to call themselves out?

Why are women so docile?

Queenslander:
Fucckingg mofo, who married his grandmother for money and papers, I guess no one with saggy balls will condemn him here,. Instead they hail and praise him,. Like he's the sweetest thing invented after candy,.

Buh if it was the other way round,. Nairaland saggy balls association would have sank their venomous fangs into the woman. Calling her all manner of unprintable names..

I guess whatever women do, they must do twice as well as men to be thought half as good,. Luckily. This is not difficult..
Charlotte whitton..

Bunch of lowlifes!!

SPits..

Stop going through emotional blackmail.
You're not from Lagos like everyone else. The only reason you identify with Lagos is because of Nigeria. Are there no Yorubas in Benin Republic? Why not claim a land there as Yoruba land?

christistruth01:
You don't have a Clue about Yoruba History

It is my sincere Opinion that it is People like yourself that have been frustrating genuine Nation builders amongst your kinsman


Not only do you not know how to unite people but where you see United people you try to scatter them

You have no influence in Lagos. It's for everybody as the resources used in building it is from all over the country mostly Niger Delta.

Ttalk:
I know you won't learn, since you are village goon and only see Lagos as city and don't realised it is fused up with many districts and towns. That is why we have many Obas governing their territories within the larger state you refer to as city.

You don't know your own history. Before the British came you guys were fighting yourselves to death. Nothing like a united Yoruba front until less than 60yrs ago. So which Yorubaland are you talking about. How much influence do you have in Lagos compared to the average Igbo man in Lagos?

christistruth01:
Lagos was already the Mercantile and Commercial headquarters of Yorubaland long before your ancestors heard of or set eyes on it for the very first time

The foolish 99.4% defend the 0.6% and make sure this percentage never change for the better.

The docile and foolish 99.4%

I know Ijaw wants their own republic.

valirex:
Have you asked the Oduduwa and Biafran agitators this question?

For the record no one in the ND wants a ND republic.

What alliances have you for.ed with Oduduwa,
Biafra, Niger Delta agitators? You sit in one corner with unknown people pretending not to want one Nigeria!

valirex:
Do you just choose to be ignorant? I shared you a link and common sense would have made you to click on it which leads to a page and in that page is another link to a Facebook page where you can watch a video of a group.

If that isn't enough for you that doesn't concern the Ẹdo nation, we are not interested in your Oduduwa or Biafra.

Let's face our individual lands

Your village is your village, Lagos is a cosmopolitan area that belongs to everybody!

Ttalk:
Whatever you say to make you happy but it diminishes you when you make conjesture words and call it history.

Pocket all those nonsense you say about Awori and Lagos State.

For your information, Awori, Ijebu and Egun are owner of all Land in Lagos and all can trace thier origin from other Yoruba ancient towns. For instance most of Awori have their lineage linked with Ife, other have their origin from Egba. For example most of town and villages in Ife are exact names you found in some towns and districts in Lagos.

Not only that, there are festival that brings all these towns together. Do you even know there are some dinstincts words you can only found in Ife and Awori language. My people yearly travel to Ife as well receive Ife traditional to celebrate many festivals.

So dont dabble into issue you know nothing about. Staying 100years in Yoruba land can never make you a Yoruba person, you won't understand our culture and heritage because we are distinct people

There are actually more girls in schools than boys across Nigeria.

Is there a female US president in history? How many female UK prime Minister in history?

Let's focus on having credible elections then merit will determine

Seun:
They would be more interested in politics if it wasn't dominated by men and the things men care about. If 50% of NASS was female the things females care more about such as how to ensure that all girls are allowed to go to school, how to take care of women and children in refugee camps, how to protect women from sexual assault and domestic violence, etc would be in the news more often and women would be more interested. In other words, women don't care about politics because politics is dominated by men and focused on men's issues.

Clearly you're playing to the gallery. We have more women voters yet they don't vote for themselves. Even in families, the only male child automatically becomes the head when he comes of age, it's a cultural thing!

Seun:
There are many smart, capable, brilliant women who have never tried to contest for office because they know that the odds would be against them simply because they are women. My proposal, if implemented would level the playing field and thus motivate those brilliant women to get involved in politics.

Before 600yrs ago, who was there?

Did the Oba of Lagos not say his ancestry is from Benin?

christistruth01:
The Awori will soon arrive on this thread to Shred you to bits and Pieces for daring to say they are not Yorubas

Even the first Oba of Lagos was an Awori man From Isheri Olofin

Your argument doesn't have half a leg to Stand on

Keep your Long Throat to your Region

Lagos was already taken 600 years ago by the Yorubas

Awori People: A brief history and belief of the original indigenes of Lagos
October 26th 2021, 8:34:00 am

King Oduduwa had given Olofin a mud plate, instructing him to place it on the water and follow it until it sank into the river.

Awori people
Awori people
The Aworis are the original indigenes of Lagos.

Origin of Awori people

Legend has it that Prince Olofin and his followers left the palace of King Oduduwa in Ile-Ife and migrated southward along a river.

Olofin is one of Oduduwa's son

It is said that several days after leaving Ile-Ife, the plate suddenly stopped near Olokemeji near present-day Abeokuta. And after seventeen days, it began moving again.

It would later stop for another seventeen days at Oke-Ata.


At the end of seventeen days, the mud plate began moving again, only to stop again on the southern outskirts of present-day Abeokuta, where it stayed for another seventeen days.

It was here some of Olofin's followers decided to remain. This group of people was under the leadership of a man named Osho Aro-bi-ologbo-egan.

The mud plate would continue again down the river, only to stop for the fourth time at Isheri, where it remained for a much longer period of time.

Owing to this, Olofin began instructing his followers to begin setting up a permanent settlement, but after 289 days (17 x 17) the plate began moving again.

And when it did, only a few followers joined Olofin to follow the plate. The rest of the group decided to stay behind.

They had only journeyed for two days when the plate stopped briefly at Iddo in Lagos.

It was at Idumota in central Lagos that the mud plate sank into the bottom. After whirling on the water.

When Olofin returned to Iddo to meet his group, it is said that they’d asked him where the plate was. And in answering, he said, "Awo Ti Ri" meaning "The plate has sunk". This is how the name Awori is said to have come into being.


The Awori is a tribe of the Yoruba people speaking a distinct dialect of the Yoruba language. And they are presently found in both Ogun State and Lagos State, Nigeria.

So why insist on Igbos being your compatriots? And don't give me that lame excuse that nobody is holding them back.

flokii:
Sadly, it's the truth.. the West had ports for trans-atlantic trade, producing valuable cash crops like cocoa for export. The North too had their groudnut pyramids, hides and skins from cattle and a lot they produce for sale in the trans-sahara trade.

Igbos on the other hand just want to buy and resell, no substantial value added, just money made. That is the genesis of your problem in the East if you don't know. Easy way out and shortcut methods of doing things.

Nigeria needs to go pro local manufacturing and stop unnecessary importation if we wish to survive the next decade.

You chose not to be honest with yourself.
There's currently no agitation from Benin to have their in country or even restructure Nigeria to a confederation. Show me evidence of a key Benin elite advocating for these.

valirex:
We don't. An average Benin man is not interested in Nigeria, visit this thread:

https://www.nairaland.com/6828943/benin-kingdom-disassociate-fake-maps

Some Nigerians still swallow APC propaganda.
Look at their comments above, una mumu never do until una buy a 12kg gas for 20k.

Democracy nor fit uninformed people who're extremely gullible!

Nothing like Awori Yoruba. Yoruba are Oyo people. Aworis are a distinct people. Yoruba propaganda media wants everyone to believe that the entire SW are all Yoruba when other regions have missed ethnicities

christistruth01:
Lagos was founded by the Awori Yoruba

Yorubas also migrated to Lagos like others. What helped Yorubas is the proximity to Lagos but are all immigrants as well.

Eriokanmi:
Don't mind them. Warped up post up there. Early settlers were the bini fishermen who paddled their canoes via the edge of the river banks to lagos...does that make them the owners of our land? I hope Ibos in amuwo odofin too or hausas at sabo and agege areas won't say they're the original owners of Lagos tomorrow after travelling nearly 1000 of miles to settle here.

In ondo state, we have the Ijaws at the riverine area, especially at Ęse Odo LGA. They migrated and settled there. They can't say they're the original owners of Ondo tomorrow. Human migration is a normal thing.

The argument of whether Yorubas own Benin kingdom is a story for another day.

Every problem in Nigeria, you guys attributes to Igbos but insist Nigeria must not breakup for Igbos to go. Why?

flokii:
Importation kills local industry of any economy..this is where the Igbos come in, all they know in this life is to import.

You'll be surprised they inport toothpicks and other unnecessary things from China and co. into the country all in the name of doing business. When we should be growing food and cash crops for export to strengthen our economy, some people are busy looking for what to pack into the country from China.

Cocoa, palm oil, textiles, leather etc. have all been killed due to unchecked importation. The free movement of goods in Ecowas countries too has caused so mach damage for our local producers.

South West today is home to so many industries because the average Yoruba person understands the benefit of producing what you consume locally. So many solid and e-wastes now in the country inported from Asian countries by people looking for money by all means, no strategic development plans, nothing!
