omosexy1: I think you have failed to realise that Lagos is a city. Can anyone claim New York? Can anyone claim Abuja now? How about Port-Harcourt? Even London. I think this nonsense should stop. Our yoruba brothers must come to the term of realisation that nobody owns Lagos anymore, it is now owned by hard working people who intend to develop the city. While we have not seen a huge influx of white foreigners and other nationalities is because the Nigerian economy is not developed. But be prepared for this, because we cannot escape it. You cannot go to the North because the North has nothing to offer, economic activities is even on the negative side. Please go and confirm from Fashola - An Igbo man who contributes to the growth of Lagos (by paying his taxes and providing jobs) is a better citizen than a Yoruba Lagosian who contributes zero naira to the lagos economy.

That's the point. You've said it all, "it is now owned by hard working people who intend to develop the city."
Fashola can't deport Lagosians who are hard working and are contributing so much to the development of the state. Take a research on the people deported, they're all these jobless people roaming around the street of Lagos. May be you scroll up to get reply on that from my first post on this topic.

On the later bolded part, a Yoruba Lagosian who contributes zero naira to the lagos economy .
They also own Lagos, it's their birth right, you can't just take it away from them. If you say they should aswell be deported, where do you want them to go?
Inside the Lagoon or other Yoruba states that they're not indegen?
Oh! You think Fashola is happy seeing his people jobless and doing nothing to improve the state? He has no option than to let them be. And I'm sure he's doing everything possible to make life better for them.

You also mentioned port-hacort. You made me wink. Can any Yoruba man go there and say his papa has one useless house there and begin to claim the city?
Lagos had to do this because the state is over crowded, no state in Nigeria can reach that level for now.
It'll shock you when you see PH doing this too when it's situation reaches that of Lagos

These types of words are not expected from a leader. I think it'll make more sense if they keep on doing their best in addressing the issue till it's resolved, than to say they've done their best when the problem is just getting wider and affecting more people. It has already reach Edo, from taraba to Benue then to Kogi, and a minister is saying they've done their best.

Gbawe: You Yoruba guys should know better !!! Are some of you even genuine Lagosians or just talking vacuously for the sake of taunting others ? Do you even want a more humane future where everyone coexist in peace and harmony? Has NL now ruined some of you to the extent you don't do reality any more? I went to school (Primary and secondary) with many Igbos, Hausas, Fulanis, Edos et al. Many were born and bred in Lagos. They are my friends and fellow Lagosians. You guys cannot just wake up and disenfranchise them like that. Nations are progressing mentally and physically yet Nigeria is regressing. So-called educated men are talking like savages.

Of course I don't agree that Lagos should be swamped with refugees but it has been disgusting to read, throughout the forum, nauseating talk about "first class, second class, third class Lagosians" et al. It is sad to note the vainglorious sense of entitlement and "first class" superiority some of you feel. Many of you, in the diaspora, would be the same posters to vehemently blast white supremacists as "evil racist" , fit only for the gas chamber, because those caucasians consider themselves first class citizens and refuse to accept that they have no greater entitlement than others born and bred , or have lived for a long time, in the same area as them. Just because you are white does not make you more of a "Londoner" than Mo Farah who came there , from Somalia, at the age of 8.

Mr Gbawe you're right to some extent, but I doubt it this method can be applied to the issue of Nigeria. Apart from S/West(Lagos and Ogun specifically), I doubt if there is any state, city or region where immigrants can say trash about his host state. A person migrated from his home state to Lagos, on getting there he joined his people by saying "Lagos is no mans land". Is that rightful of him? It's annoying to people like us.

Can any yoruba man go up North, even cities where their elites are and say such? I doubt if he'll be alive the next minute. Or is it the East that an Hausa man'll go and say because his father was born there he owns the place?

Your theory can't work in a country where the victims will do worse if it's in his region. It can only work where the people the are civilized and have a different way of thinking from the way most Nigerians think. These people needs orientation to change their mentality of this is my region. I bet you if it has been the other way round our Easterners might not even deport but do something worse.

In a civilized community, this issue is not a big deal that LASG can't solve without making blunder. But are we going to keep on waiting until these people learn?

wow, this was when nairaland has brains as users, not now that it's dominated by kids.

nice debate there

God bless the yoruba and the benin kingdom, we shall forever be one. ODUDUWA and Ile-Ife(home of love) has brought us together

all these because some refugees are been deported from my village back to their hut.
Why can't everyone just get his asss in his papa village and develop, to prevent his children from also been refugees when he's gone

Faun: I heard the flooding happened because Kainji Dam was opened up. Something like that

I think it was a dam opened in cameroon that made River
Benue overflow it bank.
Kanji dam is along River Niger, which passes through Niger, Kwara and Kogi state.
Area affected are Taraba, Benue and Kogi state which are all along river Benue.
What made that of Kogi worse is because it's a confluence state. River Niger on a normal day if full, the dam in cameroon also added to that of river benue, which made Kogi to be more at risk.

kettykin: What i meant was that rather than Complain about Dare devil armed robbers from the East he can as well channel his energies by aiding the secession of igbos from Nigeria.
Even while totally condeming armed robbery in any form and in any guise i how however noticed some traits about how different zones carry out their robbery,
Every Zone has armed robbers in Nigeria , while the cowardly Yoruba Thieves steal only at night from School Children in their school bus when the bus breaks down and Molestation them when they find no money or stealing items from stranded motorist or snatching the hand bag of ladies , Hausa thieves steal under the cover of Religous crises using the name of God to steal and loot during religous riots and Boko haram strikes,Igbo theives Operate in Broad day light and bulldoze anything on thier way both police and soldiers

Omo Igbo no go kill person

When you're not an indegene of a state, you're living there, enjoying the infrastructures available without contributing any dine to the development of the state, but causing chaos, pick-pocketing, littering the state with your uncivilized manners, throwing poo anywhere you see at anytime, walking up and down joblessely, moving around official buildings where serious minded people are, eating akpu all around like dog. Then, I don't know why you shouldn't be thrown( deported ) to your village for rehabilitation.

Lagos is not a place where chiefs gather together to eat kolanut and akpu and tell you moonlight stories
It's Nigerias commercial megacity

ilugunboy: May God punish these boys that left their villages to come and terrorize peaceful and law abiding Lagosians....more deportations on the way!

I'm damn tired of those Igbo refugee cannibals.
Murerfuckers
Uncircumcised castrated omo Igbos

Deport them to their akpu villages(Eastern Region)

truth4meal: you think with ur azz? So let's assume Lagos belongs to ur sorry azz-if u actualize ur successional agenda will you annex lagos-ur no man's land? All will divide it to lagos west and Lagos east? Go back to ur village refugee- its only a bastard that claims another man's lineage and heredity

Ngodigha: There is no reason whatsoever why Desola whose parents are from Ilorin is seen as a Lagosian and Emeka whose parents are from Asaba is not a Lagosian. They are both born and raised in Lagos.

When things reaches it climax. We're gonna know who the real Lagosians are, again, we're gonna know who the REAL LAGOSIANS ARE. Okay?

2mch: Anyone that kills police under these circumstance should face firing squad. While the person that confessed should get life imprisonment. They should put a bounty on the others at large. Am sure these ones won't come out alive from jail any way. Terrorizing the SW. Na wa o. Why are OPC becoming less empowered by the SW govts? They need to take action and support them adequately. Nigerian police is not enough. Kudos to the person that overheard and reported them.

The federal guruguru of Nigeria won't like it

CHESSBOARD: Any person thats a Nigeria because , LAGOS IS NO MAN'S LAND

LASTMA is coming to get you from your hide out refugee, go back to your erosion ridden kidnappers dungeon

Ngodigha: A lagosian is someone whose ancestors are natives of Lagos e.g the Badagry people.
A Lagosian is someone whose parents where of the Edo stock that founded Lagos.
[s]A Lagosian is someone whose parents are part of the recaptives that settled in Lagos e.g Igbos, Anagos, Nupes, Urhobos, ETC.[/s]
A lagosian is someone whose parents came across the borders of Lagos to settle down in Lagos when the Lagos became a protectorate and a colony-eg Yorubas from Oyo, Osun, Ondo, Ogun etc.
A lagosian is someone whose great grand parents migrated to Lagos when Lagos became the capital of Nigeria. This includes Hausa-Fulanis, Igbos, Itsekiris, [s]Kanuris, Tivs, Efiks etc.
A lagosian is someone who is born and raised in Lagos, or someone residing in Lagos for more than 6 years.[/s]

Intact.

The fact that Lagosians don't give refugee immigrants problem doesn't make Lagos your home

Ondo, Ogun and other S/Western states you better get up from your slumber and chase these murtherfvcker back to their erosion-disease infected region.

Nairaland owner forget also not to send them away from your site, to prevent your site from been hijacked by their apku eating mentality

The recorded clip of this debate should forever be thrown into the Lagoon. It's a bad representation of Nigeria. Also, I don't know why the organizer of this debate haven't sent these clueless people packing

With all the great caliber of people Ondo state has, see the candidate they're presenting. It's unbelievable

Ondo people have fallen my hand, big time

afam4eva: Stop dodging my question and prove to us that the Ijaws are 28million strong.

Better find something better to do and leave that dude

This is serious

Worst debate I've ever watched in my life. I had to switch over. Horrible

Was thinking those of EDO were bad before, but those in Ondo are

Although, all the parties present are all clueless, no meaningful party on the platform.

First speaker had to speak in Yoruba, "making excuses that he wanna speak with his people better"

Second one is not so bad, but not so impressive

The third is a Mrs. I guess she's fighting for the recognition of her party, campaigning for her party when asked why she wanna be deputy governor. SMH
On top that, she's extremely nervous

Fourth, I had to switch over to avoid damaging my ear drums from damn blunder

ijaw citizen: AFAM4EVER, I KNOW YOU TOO WELL.....YOUR HIGHEST PAID JOB HAS BEEN OPENING THREADS THAT INSULT IJAWS (EVERYONE PLS CHECK HIS PROFILE TO SEE THE SLANDEROUS THREADS HE HAS BEEN POSTING TO ATTACK THE IJAWS, THINGS A NORMAL PERSON WONT THINK OF)

I HAVE JUST ONE QUESTION FOR YOU, WHAT HAVE IJAWS DONE TO YOU TO INCUR UR INCURABLE HATRED? I have never seen a person so consumed by hatred!

Will you shut up? What nonsense hatred are you talking about? I blame OBJ for giving your son the opportunity to be a Vice president, if not I guess all these trash your fellow Ijaws are saying wouldn't have been possible. Nonsense, the fact that luck was for your man doesn't mean you people should misuse it by behaving odd. Are the Edos not human? They are by far thousand miles ahead of you guys, but you people just open you dirty mouth and vomit trash.
Thank your creator that the Igbos still give you people space to breath. Where was Ijaw when Nigeria was Nigeria?
At first they were claiming fourth most populous tribe in Nigeria https://www.nairaland.com/891977/how-did-ijaw-4th-largest

Now, it's second.
You guys better behave, it'll be advisable it's not until they cut you people's mouth before you think straight and behave like people with manners
