so being a your automatically makes you a lagosians hahahahahahahhah


igbos voting strenght is insignificant, ahahahaha how did 5 Igos win elections hahahahahahahahah poooo

keep consoling yourself

First of all, na only 3 igbos wey win election in Lagos, not 5 as your falsely claimed -- a total of 4 non-yorubas won seats under PDP, 1 Urhobo, 3 igbos. Secondly, their election wasn't a result of igbo votes alone but rather a protest vote by former APC supporters, combined with PDP supporters votes, including Yorubas and other non-indigenes, against APC imposition of unpopular candidates -- this happened in every single case of those non-Yoruba wins.

I repeat that igbo votes are insignificant in Lagos politics. Forget the hype coz its as fake as your moniker.

TolaOluwatosin:
refute the following claims or hug transformer

1.why do you have igbos in your state house of assembly ??

2. Tinubu is from Osun state
3. Fashola Ekiti state
4. Ambode , Ondo state

5. check your commissioners and head of govt agencies from 1999 till date you will see mostly people from other states eg Joe Igbokwe

hahahahahahahhaha wake up lagos is no man's land.

At least you have admitted that you are an igbo impostor using a Yoruba moniker, so that's a start. . Those 3 past governors you listed are Yorubas so that is all that matters to us Yorubas of this SW region -- unlike you Igbos who hate each others guts so much that Abia govt. fired fellow igbos from imo from their civil service. Besides, those 3 men are bonified Lagosians so what the fvck are you talking about?

Lagos is a Yoruba state, governed by Yorubas, situated in Yorubaland, the most progressive region in the entire country. It is to the credit of the Yorubas that other Nigerians from all ethnic groups find their region and Lagos in particular as a land of opportunity, just as Hispanics, indians, Irish, Italians, Africans are keen to migrate to NY, L.A, London, etc. Can the same be said about your SE region? Where poverty pursues your kinsmen to Lagos and the SW for survival?

Now, the likes of Joe igbokwe and the one commissioner spot in Fashola's gov't are appointed positions. Tinubu started the practice as a gesture of goodwill to the igbo community in Lagos and nothing more. Without Igbos, Yoruba governors will continue to emerge in Lagos as igbo voting strength is practically insignificant, as the last election demonstrated.

If the governor decides not to appoint any igboman or non-indigene into his cabinet nothing will happen. Aregbe also had Ondo indigenes in his cabinet so this practice is no biggie to us here in the SW.

The igbos aren't the only group that live in Lagos, an Urhobo man also won an election to represent his community here in Lagos at the Federal level so quit your noisemaking. But that's the problem with your stvpid lot. In your mind you are the only non-Yoruba in Lagos when in actual fact you all just the loudest. Lagos PDP,which is controlled 100% by Yorubas, gave the non-Yorubas that won election under that party the ticket to represent Lagos, so even those non-Yorubas owe that position to their Yoruba hosts.

Of the 64 or so elective seats in Lagos, only 4 went to non-Yorubas out of the PDP and Accord Party wins, of which one is an urhobo man and 3 igbos. So 4 out of 64 still gives Yorubas an overwhelming majority control of their state politically, not to mention again that even those non-Yoruba winners owe their tickets to the Yoruba Lagos PDP leadership.

am from ekiti for your information

why do you have igbos in your state house of assembly ??

Tinubu is from Osun state

check your commissioners and head of govt agencies from 1999 till date

hahahahahahahhaha wake up lagos is no man's land.
no one can claim to be the original dwellwers of Eko ...........

Yinmu. You Igbos are a pathetic lot. Again I repeat, be proud of where you are from in igboland for once in your sad and pathetic lives.

phantom:
Dude relax. Dont burst an artery over nothing.that ranking is so so true. Even within Nigeria,Lagos is worse than many other cities(in livability).
I wonder how People live there.
The stress levels are just cray!!!little wonder one sera a Man in his thirties looking like one in his fifties.
ive said it before.....Lagosians are like drug addicts. they enjoy the city while it slowly eats away their soul.

Whatever dude. What you described isn't unique to Lagos and will apply to any city as congested and fast-paced. I've lived in NYC and visited L.A Cali a few times too (L.A is even worse than Lag in my opinion, with its ghettos and gang-violence and all).So all what you ascribed to Lag are ever present there as well -- the good, the bad, and the ugly. This can only be expected in any megacity with its population and size so kini big deal?

TolaOluwatosin:
no man's land

Only a yee.bo flatt.y would make the above statement. Why dont you drop the mischief and foolishness and get yourself a befitting yee.bo name instead of wanting to answer a yoruba name? Be proud of your igbo culture for once. Na jealousy go kill Una. Atleast Lagos featured alongside fellow world-class/recognized cities of the world, a feat none of the ones in your accursed region will never attain. Upon Una bad belle Una still can't stop flooding Lagos and SW. Smh.

delishpot:
Biafra get such amount of oil? Abi dem dey count on the Niger Deltans to join Biafra and allow their oil to be dashed to Nigeria?

All these kain talk sef.
If biafra can succeed in leaving Nigeria what makes Biafra so sure that ND will not want to break away too?

Lol. Funny isn't it? The jester's only possibility of achieving this wet dream of his hinges on his HOPE that the Oil rich SS would be a part of his Biafra republic, without which such a lofty promise will remain but a mere pipe-dream coz "you can't give what you don't have".

Besides, by the time he gets his Biafra, even water may by then be a more valuable resource than the Oil he wants to die over.

Yes it is, to the igboman that it is . I have actually heard one of them make such remark; this was like 4yrs ago. Interesting thing is that they are the only ethnic group I am aware of that call other peoples' land "no man's land".

huangcheng:
You asked me not to believe politicians but unfortunately you are the one believing a politically motivated press release from a political Oba. Is his WAEC registration where he clearly stated that he is from Ondo state false?

Leave Lagos to Lagosians and concentrate on Oshogbo or wherever the hell you all migrated from.

Hahahaha. You are a CONFIRMED Fool. YOU accused Ambode of not being an indigene of Lagos and I presented you with incontrovertible proof. But instead of towing the honorable path and admit your presumptuousness, in the usual stubborn goat igbo fashion, you are still arguing blindly. You reject the Oba's declaration, and in effect Inec's and the courts' jurisdiction to declare him fit to contest and occupy the seat. Please who the fvck are you? ? Of course your opinion or view on the subject is irrelevant coz in the overall scheme of things coz you are a nobody. As for me, I will go bed a glad man for exposing your foolishness and mischief. Smh. You are indeed a big fool.

huangcheng:
Listen small boy, you can lie to yourself all you want, you can even downplay this truth but the minorities are crying everyday about the colonization of their ancestral land. Is Ambode from Ijebu, Epe, Ikorodu or Awori? What is his business with Governance in a place that is not his ancestral land. Why will an Ondo man even have the guts to contest an election against an indigene and even win and nothing is being said about it?

Nobody can take that nonsense. It will never happen anywhere else outside Lagos even in Ondo, Osun or Ekiti that claim to be Yoruba land.

I hope this response will silence you for good, but if doesn't then you are nothing but a fool and attention seeking punk. You asked if Ambode is from Lagos? Personally it doesn't matter to me whether he is from Lagos or not as long as he's Yoruba. But I will present to you incontrovertible proof that he is. I just hope after this you will bow out in shame and finally shut the fvck up :

Ambode is our son, says Epe monarch
on May 12, 2014 at 12:21 am in News

The rumour surrounding the authenticity of Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode as an indigene of Epe, a sleepy town in the outskirt of Lagos was laid to rest over the weekend, as the Oluilara of Ilara, Oba Okunola Adesanya, one of the paramount rulers of Epe, described him as a bonafide indigene of Epe land.

Oba Adesanya, who spoke on behalf of the Olu of Epe and other monarchs at the induction of Ambode and other prominent sons of Epe into the Epe Club, and has been on the throne for the past 54 years, said the Ambode family had always been part and parcel of Epe.....

huangcheng:
Hypocrisy! You change the goal post whenever it favors you. How many Lagosians have Governed your state? How many non-indigene have Govern any Yoruba state? So why is normal for an Ondo man to Govern Lagosians. Nobody will take that nonsense and you know it but because it favors you, you're OK with the status quo. That's colonization by trick or false pretense.

Guy, can you just Shut the fvck up and mind your Igbo bizness? Why are you crying more than the bereaved? Your real headache is the fact that it has finally dawned on you that as an igboman you will always remain a stranger in Lagos /Yorubaland, same as I'll always be in igboland as a Yorubaman. When you all get your Biafra (by God's grace), you will surely fond your square root across the Niger along with your fellows. Don't worry, keep praying, it will happen soon.

totit:
Tarrrrhh
Don't come with that yeye trick




This is ibo man for you.


Why on earth would this be seen among igbo race??


I have listen severally to igbo songs.. Which Whenever they to talk about igbo people, they will only mention ANAMBRA, IMO and ENUGU... Am



The worst part is the Gospel singers are also doing the same.... You will be listening to igbo gospel music , they will be praying to God ""Gozierem ndi onitsha, Gozierem ndi IMO, ENUGU na ANAMBRA state nine" "

WHY are they disregarding us ===EBONYI and ABIA


HAVENT WE CONTRIBUTED TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF IGBO RACE

That's why I said in my last post that the OP is applying the usual Igbo/SE/Biafra mentality to Yoruba land. The Ijebus/Epes/Ikorodus have as much claim to Lagos as Aworis, as do the Egbas also. Who are the Epes? Are they not ijebus? All these people are Yorubas at the end of the day, which is the koko of the matter and all that matter. The OP is just trolling.

huangcheng:
You're missing the point in the message.

Don't you think Lagosians will like to rule themselves instead of having an Ondo man ruling their land. I am sure if a Lagosian should travel to contest an election in Ondo state, he will be reminded that he is not an indigene of Ondo state. So why forcefully take over their land and claim it is a Yoruba land hence it is free for any Yoruba to rule.

I am speaking on behalf of the indigenous Lagosians whose voices have been drowned by the majority Yoruba migrant.
Lagos is for Lagosians
Osun is for Osunites
Ondo is for Ondoites
Yorubaland for everybody etc etc.

Look here you dis flattyy. Yorubas are not like Igbos of the SE where Abia sacked Imo indigenes from its civil service even though they are all Igbos. Any Yorubaman can rule Lagos, and that includes the Aworis. Nothing stops Aworis from governing Lagos since they are Yorubas like the rest of us, they just need to get more involved in the politics of the state to realize that, that's all. It's obvious that you are trying really hard to apply the SE mentality to Yorubaland. I don't expect you to understand how we handle our business since you are not one of us. You are better off sticking to SE politics.

saxywale:
Just take a trip to ife, ilesha or oshogbo. Ibos are everywhere in those places. Lol. Let me not even mention ibadan, I had ibo friends back in oau that are naturalised ibadan.These ibos in ilu oke speak yoruba with an oyo accent.

Lol. Guy, you just reminded me of a remarkable experience I had in Ibadan about a year ago. I paid a visit to IITA ibadan and in the course of my visit i met with an unassuming igboman, a gentleman I might add. At a point during our meeting he had to quickly attend to a group of local farmers. Na so the guy begin converse in proper Ibadan dialect with the group. I was shocked! He later made me understand that he's lived in Ibadan since the early 80s and that while his wife and kids live in Lagos, he personally prefers ibadan. Guy, I was surprised. Even his female PA, a very fair-skinned igbo lady sef dey nack Ibadan dialect with one of their drivers. Moral of the story is that no be only Lagos dis people dey for Yorubaland, they are all over. I hope they get their Biafra coz it's like a lot of them are becoming very troublesome. They are such a troublesome lot.

huangcheng:
Are you a true Lagosian or you MIGRATED like other tribes from Oshogbo? Stick to the topic, what the Op-ed is saying is, Lagos is not YORUBA land, there are indigenous LAGOSIANS.

Go back to Oshogbo ASAP!!!!

You are a fool, simple. Get a map and clean out the border between Lagos and Ogun state and what do you have? A BIG ASS Ogun state swallowing up Lagos. No other group but the Yorubas could be the natural inhabitants of Lagos -- to the West of Lagos is Rep. Of Benin, while Ogun and Ondo are to its East. So either way you wanna look at it, Lagos has ALWAYS been bordered by Yorubaland and her vassals. You no try at all.

scholes0:
Lagos is 100% Yorubaland pure and simple.
Yorubaland extent even more Westwards than Lagos into Republic of Benin and Togo...
And here , someone is thinking Lagos is not Yorubaland....Lmao

Lol. Guy, I don't think you understand how desperate some of them are in this their "no man's land" agenda. Sotay, they recently cooked up a spurious tale about Oduduwa being a long lost son of an Nri priest . Don't underestimate their desperation o.

funmijoyb:
what do you knw about yoruba? talk about the east... Yoruba own lagos the world knows this. igbo cannot rewrite history that has long being written before the igbo came

igbos envy lagos seriously, that's why they are claiming they are native of the precious city o Eko o ni baje o

If they like they should cook, spice, fry and fabricate a spurious history that suits their wet dreams. None of that will change the fact that Yorubas are and will always remain the Landlords of Lagos. Make them go build their own for SE Dem no gree. Instead na Yorubaland Dem dey feju mo. Na wah.

Op, you must be a learner coz this topic has already been thrashed into the dustbin where it belongs. But really, what exactly is your motive? Is it that you are trying to fabricate a basis for further laying claim to Lagos? No Yorubaman is dragging Anambra or Enugu with una so why don't you stay the fvck out of our biz?? Whether you choose to accept it or not, Lagos is and will remain Yorubaland. I don't get you Igbos. For real. You people are sick. Smh.

Alomo users should beware henceforth o. But these counterfeiters should take it easy, money is not everything naw. It's one thing to be producing fake cables and footwears, but Alomo bitters that people actually drink? Only God knows how many people fit don die as a result now. Smh.

NAFDAC arraigns businessman for producing fake alcoholic beverage

NAN on August 14, 2015

A businessman, Magnus Onyenkwu, who allegedly produced a fake alcoholic beverage, Alomo Bitters, was on Friday arraigned in Lagos by officials of the National Agency for Food Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC).

Onyenkwu, who resides at No. 27, Toyin St., Oke, Ibadan, Oyo State, is standing trial in Federal High Court, Lagos, on a six-count charge bordering on unlawful production and distribution of unwholesome processed food.

The Prosecutor, Mr Barthlome Simon, told the court that the accused committed the alleged offences sometime in January at his residence.

He said that the accused unlawfully produced, packaged, falsely labelled, distributed and sold to the public a fake replica of Kasapreko Alomo Bitters.

Simon alleged that the offences contravened Sections 1 (a), 5 (a) of the Counterfeit and Fake Drugs and Unwholesome Processed foods (Miscellaneous Provision) Act Cap C34, Laws of the Federation 2004.

MUMU op
Obviously, without Lagos, Ibadan would have been in a Much HIGHER position than it is today.
Lagos is that younger brother, that took a lot of what was supposed to it's elder bro, Ibadan..... But Alas both are still proudly South Western.

Imagine the ignoramus o? As it stands, even without Oil, Oyo state GDP is #4 on the last released official list (behind Lagos, Rivers and Delta -- and I am sure it would rank second if not for Rivers and Delta Oil factor). Upon all the mouth they make, they don't have the data/numbers to back up any tangible value they add to the national commonwealth.

Flets:
As it stands today.... the population of the SW and north is a liability to the Nigerian state because its still an unproductive and consuming population.

Tell me what how that population have added to that region.

Isreal as a nation boasts of only 7 million people yet a nation to reckon with.

Hahahaha. SW contributes more to the Nigerian state than your almajiri lot. You all will cannibalize yourselves without migrating to our region. SW makes more non-oil contributions than any other region to the FG -- our 3 land borders (Oyo, Ogun, Lagos) generate the FG no less than $5mln a piece monthly, not to mention our sea ports. Obiano said all the chicken meat that feeds the entire SE comes from Oyo state alone. Lagos and Ogun alone account for no less than 70% of Nigeria's industrial output. Our Cocoa exports generates billions to the FG annually. Go and ask how many billions the British-American Tobacco company pays to the FG from their operations in Oyo state no thanks to her farmers. Ondo contributes Oil. So hell yeah we are paying more than our fair share in dues.

Your parasitic region enjoys these contributions amongst others in the form of distributed allocations. Your people also overburden other states via migration than any other, yet you have the effrontery to talk crap.? ? Nigga, you gat nerve o! Pray tell what your people contribute besides importation of fake products and drug peddling? Or is that the SW fault too? ?

Flets:
Imagine if Lagos was never the nation's capital? ...... Lagos would have been like Osun and the entire SW would have been ceeded to Benin Republic

Imagine if a SE state was ever the nation's capital, that region would have competed with Singapore.

Unfortunately, we have to live with the fraud called Nigeria for the SHORT TERM.

Lol. Chai! Guy, just kukuma go ahead and blame God for not being so kind to your people. .
Don't worry, Biafra us on its way . More fasting and prayers will do it

StOla:
A South West without Lagos was the pace setter region of pre-independent Nigeria.

No need for imagination, consult your history books because it already happened.

It had the 1st university in Nigeria located in Ibadan because the British located where it was needed and where the people demanded for such higher education.

It built the tallest building in West Africa.

It established the 1st television station in all of Africa.

It enforced free and compulsory education for all. Even if there were naked kids, that should not hinder the education of the mind, thus building the human capital that will keep it ahead and worth catching up to by the other regions.

It established industrial estates all over and incorporated an investment company that would ensure the harnessing of its resources to ensure regional sustainability.

Lol. Perfect response. If there was no Lagos, that still wouldn't have prevented the South East encroachers/almajiris from flooding Yorubaland. Without Lagos, Ogun would be in its place coz Ogun too has access to the sea, as does Ondo. .

Even as it stands, according to the last 2006 census, 2 SW states (Lagos [#1] and Oyo [#5]) are in the top 5 most populous states in Nigeria. Ogun (#16), Ondo (#18), and Osun (#19) are in the top 20. The SE positions on the list are as follows: Anambra (#10), Imo (#14), Enugu (#22), Abia (#28), Ebonyi (#34). In other words, 5 SW feature in the top-20 against just 2 from the SE.

So in a nutshell, with or without Lagos, West will still be the best. .

Every business you can think off in Lagos has one of it leg down the East of Nigeria. There are alot of businesses in the East where you have one,two biggest single concentrated market in Africa ahead of Lagos. I mean if the East is not ok by you you have Gombe, Tarabe to invest-in. i dont get people invest in the West you complain, they invest down East you still complain really ur the one operating outside thy mind. At the other end you tax them(Business) and the othe end your tell them to go out your area, i dnt understand. In life it either your good or bad. Nigeria has to share from either be a good country or bad one, nothing like half good or bad.

There you go with your spurious claims! Don't you people ever get tired of these empty claims? ? Any how, you sure are right about the SE having the largest market at Onisha. I guess that should count for something.

are you dis dumb? Honeywell is a Well known Americam company.. Their branch in Nigeria may have a yoruba as the manager but it is Owned by an American.

Fvck you. I have refuted this stvpid talk of yours more than once before. Oba Otudeko is the Chairman of Honeywell Group (Google it and you will confirm even from Forbes that he FOUNDED the company, punk) which is separate from the American, same way one of your dubious kinsmen claimed Spectranet is owned by Indians coz there's another one in India when in fact Oba Rilwan Akiolu owns it.
