DATTI IS THREATENING THE CJN WITH HIS UNGUARDED COMMENTS.

And your ffk is threatening the whole country with his unguarded statements.

omonnakoda:
Don’t stay in Lagos, and benefit from the leadership, infrastructure and economy Lagosians built over time, yet carry resentment towards them. You threaten violence and de-market Lagos on social media. You have options. Behave or relocate!” – Reno Omokri.

Let me open this short contribution by saying that I completely agree with the views expressed above by Pastor Reno Omokri.

Let us hope that those he is attempting to offer such wise counsel appreciate and accept it before it is too late and things fall apart.

I am constrained to go further by saying that I also share the views of my dear friend, brother and colleague at the Tinubu/Shettima PCC, Omo Oba Bayo Onanuga, who reflected the views and thoughts of millions of our fellow Yorubas when he expressed deep and legitimate concerns about the attempt by the Ibo community in Lagos to take over our land and claim it as theirs.

This is something that they themselves would never tolerate members of any other ethnic nationality to attempt to do in the East and neither would any of us try it.

The truth is that if you insist on living in someone else’s land or territory, you must respect them. And as they say, respect begets respect.

If you must live amongst us, kindly refrain from poking your fingers into our eyes simply because we gave you the space and afforded you the opportunities that you have refused to offer us in the East.

We do this because we are decent, civilised, kind-hearted, peace-loving and just people who believe strongly in the ethos of charity, a plurality of community, the efficacy of racial and religious harmony, peaceful coexistence and full and unfettered integration.
That does NOT, however, mean that we are fools. Our history proves that we are slow to anger but irresistible in battle. It is not wise to provoke us or raise our sleeping swords.

Being too kind, accommodating and charitable has its price and it appears that we the Yoruba may have learnt this the hard way.
Opening up your home to a stranger and being your brother’s keeper is one thing but giving him your head and all that is dear to you on a platter of gold is quite another.

And unless they change their attitude quickly and drastically it may well be better for them to go home.

As a consequence of recent events and the outrageous and insulting “Lagos is a no man’s land” battle cry and mantra which many Ibos in Lagos espouse and constantly bellow and mouth, many of our people believe that Alaba International Market, Computer Village, Trade Fair and other places that they have occupied and taken over should be evacuated and vacated and converted to schools, deep sea ports, housing estates and amusement parks.

That is the level of anger and view of millions of our people today and we ignore those views at our peril.

They also believe that we should act fast and make the necessary changes in our attitude to non-Yoruba settlers and aliens and reflect on our propensity for being too “woke” and too liberal in our dealings with them.

This view was ably reflected by Rotimi Adeosun when he tweeted the following day after the governorship election in Lagos on March 19.
He wrote, “Congrats to putting an end to the issue of real ownership of Lagos. Going forward, let there be a review of the following: Land ownership and rent law.

Elective and appointive policy. The ethnic concentration of markets. Limits to liberalisation culture. The teaching of Yoruba history. Be wary of usurpers!”

Points are taken and forceful, compelling and lucid they are too.

In his own contribution, one Legendary Joe again reflected the mood when he tweeted the following:
“We voted in Lagos today not along political lines but along the lines of heritage. We voted for our pride. We made a statement that our liberal nature should never be abused. What we won’t attempt in yours, do not force on us. We voted to retain Lagos”.

These are insightful and incisive contributions and they must be taken very seriously.

They can best be described as wake-up calls and the propositions and counsel that are being suggested and offered must be considered by all the relevant stakeholders in Yorubaland generally and Lagos particularly before it is too late.

Clearly thanks to the insulting ways and disrespectful tone, words and attitude of those that came from the East to settle amongst us yet covet our land and seek to destroy everything we value and stand for, Yoruba nationalism has come alive again.

Our gullible liberalism and naive wokeism have resulted in a dangerous, hard-line and pronounced backlash which is fuelled by anger and which cannot be easily managed and contained.

Our people are now counting the cost of our innocent yet disastrous open door policy and disposition as a direct consequence of the excesses and provocative actions of the Ibos in Lagos.

And what is that cost?

If you really want to know let’s go back in time a little.

Permit me to take you on a walk down history lane.

When Nnamdi Azikiwe, the NCNC and the Igbo State Union tried to take over Yoruba land in the 1952 Western Regional elections, he lost to Obafemi Awolowo and the Action Group by a very narrow margin.

I believe it was by two seats in Parliament and Action Group was saved from a Zik victory only because they went into an alliance with the Ibadan Peoples Party which gave them a majority of two in Parliament! That is how close it was.

Had it not been for that Zik, an Igbo man, would have been elected as the first Premier of the old Western Region and the Yoruba would have eventually lost EVERYTHING including their language, culture, heritage, land and values.

After his defeat Zik packed his bags and said the following famous words: “I shall return to the East from whence I came”.
Thereafter he went back to the old Eastern Region to be elected Premier.

71 years later the story appears to have repeated itself.

The Ibo, this time led by one Peter Obi, a trader who was fuelled, strengthened and emboldened by his relative success and gains during the presidential election in the state two weeks earlier, tried to forcefully take over Lagos in the 2023 governorship election by intimidation, threats and propaganda and by fielding a young and impressionable man by the name of Chinedu Rhodes-Vivour who neither speaks nor understands Yoruba, whose family derives from Sierra Leonne and Opobo in Rivers State and who, like his aggressive supporters, claimed that Lagos is a “no man’s land” as his candidate.

Thankfully they failed and the young man was roundly defeated by Jide Sanwo-Olu, a young, diligent, hardworking, civilised, decent and focused administrator and bona fide Yoruba man.

It is now time for Peter, Chinedu and all their Obidient supporters to follow Zik’s noble example, tread the path of honor and either respect us and live with us in love and peace or go back to the East “from whence they came”. They will do far better there. We in the South-West must do a lot of soul-searching and educate the liberals in our midst about the dangers of being too kind, too charitable and too accommodating to the usurpers that have infiltrated our territory.

We can show them charity, love and kindness but this must never be at the expense of our values, identity, dignity, culture or heritage.

We must endeavour to ensure that history does not repeat itself again, that this terrible cycle of our Ibo brothers repaying our good with ingratitude and subterfuge stops and that they never have the temerity and effrontery to claim that Lagos, or indeed any other part of Yoruba land, is theirs again.

Let me state it clearly that Tinubu is the president elect and will be sworn in.

With the way Igbos are going about this Tinubu thing, it will really hurt them politically and economically.

Most critically, should anything happen to Tinubu or his swearing in, igbos will be in big trouble in Nigeria.


Oya insult as usual.

Shutup! let me put it clear to you that the!fnubu was selected not elected and for that reason he must not be sworn in.

And with the way you urchins are killing none yorubas in lagos and destroying there properties because of this the!fnubu thing, will definitely not yield any good fruits because you lots are indirectly giving IPOB the oxygen they need to divide your beloved one nigeria. And me personally will love it that way because, am of the opinion that instead of tinubu to rule let naija divide.

And if anything should happen to tinubu what will happen?
Do you think you have what it take to fight the great Igbos?

All what is happening now shows that Peter Obi has a hidden agenda that different from election stuff, That's the reason I supported the petition of Festus Kenyamo that he should be arrested.

Whatever the agenda of Peter Obi may be, he would fail woefully by the special grace of Almighty God.   So rediculous how a man that don't even have a 25% spread is claiming of having a mandate. 

He should take over the second position from Atiku before even dreaming of winning the election. 

Is he saying that he won in the North and West? In my polling unit, Obi has only one vote, and that represents the choice of many people in my state.

I laugh when someone tells me that Peter Obi got over 1.2 million votes in Plateau State but it was rigged.  How is that possible?  even the whole south east where he came from gave him 1.8 million votes. It takes a faulty brain to believe that only Plateau, with fewer accredited voters, gives him 1.2 million votes.

This is democracy; it's determined by numbers, not bullying or insult. Obi should know that the quiet majority is the one that rejects him, while the noisy minority is the one that stands by him.

Peter Obi-Mumuness won't stand at all. We will never let a desperate man turn our democracy upside down with his idiotic utterance and his plan to get jobless youth back to the street for an evil protest. 

You want obi arrested because he is fighting for justice but I haven't seen any thread you created seeking for the arrest of mc oluomo and his fellow urchins for the deaths of non yorubas they caused in lagos.

Infact we want una to get him (obi) arrested

Bloody hypocrite!

HilcomTech:
Exactly my point.. IIGB0S are no better than rats in Nigeria.

Go and contest and you will find out who the "we" are. Just as Supreme monkey has found out

In descending order of importance.
1) Nigerians
2) Cows, goats, horses
3) IIGB0S
4) PIIGS

Your point is out of point because you have no brain.
The great Igbos has tested the sit of power before but because you're a dummy that's why it has never occurred to you.

Nigeria has over 250 tribes and we all know that tribes like hausa, ibibio and many of them has never tested nigeria's sit of power.. Are you now telling me that you as a rat and your cohorts are also responsible for their failure of not becoming president of nigeria??

HilcomTech:
You may cry all you want but we have made presidency out of bound to IGB0S

Who are the "we" that made presidency out of bound to the great Igbos?
Can a rat deny humans political position?

HilcomTech:
Yet yhur Supreme Monkey forgot to state that in his court affidavit.

Yu just confirmed that the followers of Supreme Monkey are even more DUMB than him

You can call him whatever name that makes you happy but, the fact remains that he is now in court to reclaim his stolen mandate with about 8 count charges that is bigger than your brain thats why you don't know how to disect it.

And for the fact that you and your fellow urchins dont know what to do about the count charges that is why all of you (urchins) are angry
theres an adage that says, what makes you to be afraid always is what you hate.

HilcomTech:
Yet LP won only one governorship election

It takes a special kind of ST00PEED to be IPOB

Because of your stup!d nature, thats why it has never occurred to you that, There was massive rigging in this year's election. LP was rigged out in some states especially lagos and enugu.

burp18:
Let's presume he went for medical check up. How does that help Obi become president? The problem with you lots is you don't know what's wrong with you. You're chasing shadows wasting your time thinking you're hurting Tinubu. The man you're running helter skelter pursuing dead cases is out of the country enjoying himself and Obi is here give Obi supporters false hopes. May 29 Tinubu will be sworn in and by 2032, hopefully una don get sense by then. We will consider you guys. Until then. Keep wasting your time calling out Tinubu like you did in the last 8yeas with Buhari.😁

It is true that the!fnubu medical check up will not make obi president but that will definitely make some of his supporters to lose interest in him. The problem with urchins is that you lots love and support anything that is evil that, is why you want and expect obi to leave his stolen mandate to your god tinubu and even congratulate him ontop.

If what you call "chasing shadows" is because obi chose to go to court to seek justice then, let us keep chasing that shadow we love it that way. Obi is Igbo and Igbos dont celebrate nor tolerate mediocrity so what you expect of obi cannot happen.
And for your information, tinubu is already suffering from heart attack thats the reason for his travel and not for enjoyment like you want us to believe.

burp18:
But it is your candidate that is running about to courts like a headless chicken. The man you're giving yourselves headache over has travelled to Hajj and left you to kill yourselves.😄

Yes! the courts is the only civil way he will use to recover his stolen mandate and I don't know why urchins are having acute headache because of that.

You said the druggie traveled to haji maybe he is sick and went for his usual routine checkup in london

Peter Obi won 10 states in the presidential but managed to win 1 state in the gubernatorial elections. What this means is that he rigged in the presidential election. Where are all those people that voted LP during the presidential election?

One major problem with urchins is that they don't make use of their brains they always assume.
During the presidential campaigns, many of you urchins believed that obi can only win SE infact urchins said a lot of meaningless things but, what happened later became a misery to you all.

For your info, if the election was conducted in a free and fair manner, obi won more than 10 states and LP would have won in lagos and 2 or 3 more states. It doesn't matter how urchins twists the narrative.

Lastly, a whole lot of people (me inclusive voted) obi (LP) for president but did not vote LP in the just concluded governorship election.

Learn to reason critically with your brain it will help you a whole lot.

We hate tinubu because of what he represents.

Ntigha:
A social media influencer popularly known as Ifa-Priest has given knocks to the tribalism and violence being perpetrated against non-indigenes in Lagos by few individuals whom he described as illiterate street thugs being used and led astray by greedy politicians.
While speaking on his livestream Ifa-priest also said that if “ we the Yorubas of the south west are to reason critically we would realise that the we yorubas actually do not play much significant role in the economy of Nigeria as much as the Hausas who provides the food security of the country, south-easterners who are the business and commercial powerhouse of the nation and the south-southerners who contributes in terms of oil and gas which is the main sustainance and life-blood of the Nigerian nation.. The only thing we offer the nation as yorubas are the environment for these tribes to run their businesses, and the only space we can offer them is the city of Lagos out of all the whole yoruba states and we as yorubas are the ones who benefit most from them because most of the oil companies and oil services companies are headquartered in Lagos and remitt a significant amount of taxes to the Lagos state government , the businesses run by the Igbos are worth billions of dollars and rakes in billions in taxes and rates to the government of Lagos, it also drives development in the state”. The northerners are the food security of the south west, not quite long ago when the Hausas refused to move some foodstuffs to the south we all saw how everyone in the south west was running helter skelter because we couldn’t get even tomato to cook”, he further advised that “if any of the tribes especially the south easterners should abandon Lagos and move their businesses then we would realise how empty we are and that we really do not have much to offer the nation.
The northerners already have a strong tie with other neighboring countries such as Niger , chad cameroun etc which are good markets for their produce and railways between Nigeria and Niger testifies to how close they are with these neighboring countries, the Lagos seaports if abandoned especially by the Igbos would not worth anything and would drastically run far below capacity and these people have the tenacity to turn around the economy of any region to which they move their business, should the ports become available in places such as Ibom or even koko in delta state.
He further went on to say that it is quite unfortunate that the voice of few miscreants amongst the yorubas are sounding louder than those of the reasonable yorubas who are in the majority and that the recent evil machination of the politicians are capable of destroying the free meals being offered the yorubas by other tribes in the country. He said that most of these politicians are not even full Nigerian citizens as most of them hold dual citizenship of other countries and has pledged allegiance to these foreign countries before being granted citizenship and now wants to ruin Nigeria if they cant have their ways to loot the national treasury by turning tribes against each other, He advised the southwest to sit down and think of what to offer the nation and not carrying files and looking for white collar jobs., it is time we yorubas go back to cocoa which we were noted for as right now we really do not have anything to offer the nation and ourselves except for a conducive business environment which some miscreants are trying to destroy.

Tomorrow now, the!fnubu urchins/agberos will tell us that oil in ondo is bigger than the oil in all the SE states.

Liars and deceivers!
