LadyExcellency:
I don't see any line crossed between a native of Ibadan and an Igbo man who owns his mansion, lives in Lagos Mainland and does business in Computer village. What host are you talking about?

How does an indigene of Ado Ekiti host me that bought a mansion in Eko Atlantic and running a downstream oil sector business in Delta State? I am always confused with these lines of "respect for the host" unless you are talking about the government and civil authorities that help in maintaining peace and harmony in the neighbourhood.

A yoruba man living in ekiti is your host in lagos even if he hasnt been to lagos before because aworis, the owner of lagos shares same ancestory with the man in ekiti. Infact an unborn yoruba in ile oluji in ondo is already a lagosian while you are a guest. No once forced you to buy property in lagos

MikeofAfrica:
The Yoruba tribe is the most enlightened tribe in Nigeria. Stop disgracing the Yorubas on a public forum.

The indigenes of Abuja just congratulated a Yoruba woman that defeated their son. However if that happens in Lagos, there will be attack by agberos and arson according to you.

People like you have to grow up. Non indigenes control all cosmopolitan cities across the world. An Arab migrate is presently the mayor of London.

Abuja and Lagos are cosmopolitan cities. There is nothing you can do to stop non-indigenes from winning elective positions in these cities.

An igboman will become the Governor of Lagos very soon. The handwriting is on the wall. Peter Obi the father of a new Nigeria has empowered a Yoruba to win in Abuja. He will also empower an Igbo to win in Lagos.

enlightenment doesnt mean foolishness. Igbo man would become governor when femi becomes governor in abia

MikeofAfrica:
The late Alao Akala is the only non indigene of Ibadan to become Governor since 1999 after the impeachment of Ladoja.

An igboman cannot claim to have same right as an Ibadan man in Oyo be ause we did not contribute to the development of Oyo. The Yorubas also did not contribute to the development of Enugu hence cannot enjoy same right in Enugu.

However the igbos contributed to the building of Lagos as a former capital city. The Yorubas also contributed to the building of Abuja, the present capital.

This gave a Yoruba woman the right to contest and win the Abuja Senatorial seat under labour party. She defeated an indigene of Abuja.

This has also given an igboman the right to contest for the Governorship of Lagos or to support any candidate of his choice.

Stop disturbing yourself. Igbo man can't be governor of lagos state. If lagos governor has affliction with igbos, there would be arson by armed yoruba groups on your markets

Brothers call brothers name and it doesn't stop them from being brothers or stop them from helping one another. So find another excuse. Truth still remains that all this Yoruba people causing troubles in Lagos are criminal immigrants who uses 'we are Yoruba' mantra to deceive the true indigenes of Lagos for centuries. But time have caught up with them.

you are the criminal here who doesnt mind his business. Anyone who calls yorubas afonja isnt our brother

sweetjohn:
If truly you are a true Lagosian, then your brain is leaking. How can you hate your own brother and not want him to rule his own state but prefer criminal immigrants like tinubu and sanwolu to rule for long. Does it mean that True Lagosians dont have competent people to rule? Quick 2 question? Why are you fighting against your brother? Are you a slave? Even though, I doubt the fact that you are a true Lagosian

Chinedu, his brother will never call yorubas afonja

You wrong, the first oba of Lagos was from benin, the name Eko is a benin name, it boils down to the fact it’s in the south west, which is luck, the Johannesburg, London, New York are all commercial cities. Lagos is our commercial city, if the comparison is to be made, then the Igbos will have to take their things, all banks including fidelity co owned by Peter Obi, zenith by Jim ovia, uba Tony and other are owned by Igbos and non Yoruba, so you know, telecommunications like Mtn own by South Africa if they go, 90% to 95% of port business tycoons are Igbos and non Yorubas, computer village, alaba, ojo, oshodi, ladipo, etc 90% of busnesses are owned by Igbos and non Yorubas, if everyone leave, your Lagos Wey you dey Build good be like Ogun state,

Anambra hold the two biggest market in west africa, google it. In term of revenue also.

Igbos are not your enemies.

the first oba of lagos is awori same way the first oba of benin is oranmiyan

TemmyT002:
All the ones that can speak Yoruba, what have they done?
Don't people understand English or pidgin?
We are even talking about Lagos o
Nawa.

Official language in sw is yoruba first then english

U see the problem? What if u lose your own life? Or your family member....kai

Chinedu who insults, calls yoruba afonja cant be governor

ogwumgbe:
Well I am well informed that the Binis were chased out from Lagos by the great Oyo empire warriors and the Yorubas occupied the land, Binis are the aborigines of Lagos

False info. Awori are the aborigines. Oyo controlled majorly badagry owned by egun. Lagos is 100% awori land

ogwumgbe:
So you also want to lay claim to the great Bini Kingdom?

benin has no meaning for oba in their language. First oba of benin is oranmiyan. Ask yourself why would yorubas have different names for oba. Alaafin, ooni, olu, oluwo, alake are all titles

Lovelyn451:
I don hear, vote who you want, make una no fight o

There would definitely be violence on that day because apc must win

ogwumgbe:
Oba is name given to Bini Kings, Yoruba has Ooni, Alafin etc, so this is a testament that the place is originally Bini

oba is a yoruba word. Check google for its lexicon. The people who occupy the oba of benin throne are oranmiyan's offspring though benin are different from yoruba. Tell me the meaning of oba in edo or benin or esan language. Oba means king in yoruba. Alaafin, ooni, alake, oluwo, olu are all titles and thats why they are different

sukkot:
i am talking to you as a Yoruba man whose ancestry 400 years ago was called Bini. My family is part of the Olisa royal Bini family in ikorodu but we are called Yoruba today. Understand that I am speaking to you as an ancestral Bini man but today called Yoruba from ikorodu

The lineage of oba of benin throne are yoruba but benin people are different from yoruba. Only those who occupy the throne are yoruba

ogwumgbe:
"Read your history brother, the real occupants were chased out by the these people you just mentioned and yet retain some of their names and cultures

do you know how powerful benin was then. If they were the owners, how can awori with their small number chase them out. So benin left ondo, ogun to come and own lagos. Dont be unfortunate. Look how ijaws retained their kingship in ondo state. Mention one edo king in lagos 100 years ago

Lovelyn451:
then vote your candidate quietly nah, what's all this noise, on election day now una go start fight....hmm

chinedu can not be governor in lagos state

makavell7:
I wonder where all these great defenders of Yoruba land were when Fulani bandits were taking over all their land in Oyo state, killing their farmers and raping their children. Even the daughter of Fasoranti was murdered by the Fulani herdsmen. Where were you all bloody cowards that are having an erection in Lagos nw. Only one man Sunday Igboho stood up to fight.

fulani killed so many in enugu, ebonyi, imo, abia as well. Infact it is all over nigeria

tegrianonigltd:
Lagos is like abuja, it was former capital, it diverse, it’s not indigenous like oyo, anambra, Enugu, Ogun, zamfara etc,

A Yoruba woman won an original Gbagi abuja man in the senate, abuja gbagi people did not say Yoruba must go,

Why Una too dey tribalistic, why? Na Una Dey fuel these things. You guys are narcissist, GRV is an original lagosian, Jandor is original awori, lagosian.

lagos is former capital. Abuja is the capital. Your equal rights ceased the moment lagos stopped being capital

ogwumgbe:
What stake does Yoruba have in Imo that would make them vote a Yoruba woman? Are Yorubas in Imo states up to 10 in number including students? Igbos are many in Lagos, have contributed immensely in the development of Lagos, they have major stake in it, therefore could not be schemed out in its politics, after all Lagos is even originally owned by the Binis and not the Yoruba, so stop claiming another person's land

awori are the owners of lagos. Out of 20 obas in lagos, not a single one is from edo. 80% of todays lagos from iyana ipaja to abule egba to cement to berger to ketu to igando and so on were initially in today's ogun state. Thats why awori, ijebu and egba are indigenous to lagos and ogun states only in sw

Mayeldah:
Pidgin and English language are official languages in Nigeria. He can speak both perfectly. That's enough

In your region. Official language in south west is yoruba and english

putin2:
Everybody know that Lagos is a Slavs coast own by bini people , that's why oba of Lagos is a bini man until today, that's why tinubu whom everybody know he is not from Lagos is controlling Lagos like his father house.

Oba akiolu is yoruba if not tell me the meaning of akiolu in benin language. There is no single edo king in lagos. So use your head

millionaireman:
Yoruba land is nearest to Lagos. So for convenience sake, one may say Lagos is part of Yoruba land.
But it's absolutely absurd to say Yorubas own Lagos, whereas Lagos is a cosmopolitan city started by slave returnees including the Binis that still lay claim to being the first inhabitants of Lagos.

lagos is owned by aworis the first settlers. If bini are the first, then tell me just a king in lagos who is bini. Even 80% of today's lagos were initially in ogun state
