That's what failures always say. Never believe in anything, they what ever comes their way , they don't believe in change. Just jesting and not more.

Emefiele was a mole in Buhari's govt, inherited from GEJ's administration, a PDP product and he was used to sabotage the APC administration and paint it in bad light.

His loyalty was to himself, Gov Okowa and Atiku at a stretch.

I knew something was wrong when Arise tv, Peter Obi and Atiku supported the Naira policy close to elections.

When your enemies applaud your move, be very wary. They knew it's implications on the people but they encouraged and supported it.

They didn't mind the whole Nigeria suffering just for them to ruin Tinubu’s chances and them winning.

Know the enemies of the nation.

What about you that supported a fool to rule Nigeria for 8 years? Because you clearly stated that buhari is a fool in this your post to have fallen for everything they tell ? People like you should be killed before a snake because you're more dangerous than black Mamba

Fake news all over the country. Lazy journalists don't do any work before going to press. They don't do any investigation prior to printing stories. How can the press claim that 85 Billion was spent and now the man says less than 3 Billion was actually released for the project since 2016.
Lazy journalists just like some Lazy citizens who just enjoy peddling rumors and half truths. Pathetic.

So why waste such amount just to paint and hire a plane , when some more money can be added to buy one? Is Nigeria too poor to have a national Carrier ?

I have never said Igbo's are doing bad things in Lagos, please focus on what I said rather than what you think I said or want me to say.

I have said Obidients on Nairaland misuse those words "No man's land" and explained why they knowingly do it.

I know all Igbos are not Obidients and I am sure all my posts without exception reflect that so please don't suggest I said anything about Igbo's as a whole.

It is in the Obidient playbook to lash out at everyone, we are expecting a Tsunami of insults when the Judges at the Tribunal have their say whether or not it favours their man. Of course enough Tinubu people are here to give them back wotowoto.

Try not to conflate issues, people here are facing Obidients squarely, not Ibo's.

Lol you don't know what we're discussing please just step aside . Thanks

Or else if you are ignorant of it albinitio, I know about it long time ago that the statement "Lagos is no man's land" is attributed to Lateef Jakande, a man from Kwara state and is done in supposedly good faith to suggest Lagos is land of opportunity where all can make it, even though I belief the man would have been circumspect in such speech , if he had known that such statement will be misdirected to mean " Lagos doesn't belong to any particular indigenes, unlike other states that if you arrive Lagos this morning you can begin to raise your shoulders in the afternoon claiming you are also the indegenes of the place , and that's is what " a no man's land " mean in direct interpretation and such has been expressed many times , which is wrong!

If they describe your father's land as no man's land, the direct meaning of it and with such cautiousness in people , the result you've been getting in Lagos is what you will get.

Indigenes of a state can be given some quota in state civil service for instance, bursaries, catchment in University admission, Subsidy in education, health services e.t.c

This is Federalism , a state is not just in a name , they have their indegenes and if you call it a no man's land , then people can leave your father's land say Anambra this morning and land in Lagos and also feel entitled and demand for was listed above with immediate effect , what they should enjoy in their state, that is what " a no man's land" mean.

These are some examples, other exist in other areas , it's not everything a state has in mind for his indigenes , that others will be making a noise or lamenting about.

This is different from outright discrimination since non - indigenes will still live in the state and enjoy some benefits, a reminder that indegenes exist in every state and we have state of origin and not state of residence in this country, but Lagos has been cheated, raped and dominated overtime by outsiders making ungrateful comment and tend to forget their origin.

And stop this stupid act of personalizing the issues , am I the one making the plans, is it not issues in the news that is on the table?

" Concentrate on petty things and ignore the important ones " nonsense!

I'm glad you can recall that the statement was attributed to lateef jakande . That's one point to note, You also made mention that we practice federalism which classifies everyone to a particular state of origin before residence right? You also said lagos state indegenes should be given some quota in the civil service and I can boldly say that statement is wrong and doesn't portray the lagos indegenes as being in charge of their polictical space. It's should be the lagos indegenes giving some quota to those within the catchment area maybe every SW state which is right. But here you carefully stated that some quota should be given to Lagos State indegenes, and I ask who is the person and where is the person from that is supposed to give them some quota in their own state? The lagos polictical space which makes the law is filled with other Sw state indegenes in the government house is not occupied by indegineous lagosian. Check the senators , house of reps and even state house of assembly they're not filled with indegeneous lagosians. Now who are those occupying those positions? Those are the people marginaling the indegineous lagosians. Not people that came to Lagos with their business plans rented shops or bought lands and established their business without government grant. You also made reference to what I said in the other post. That the government shouldn't dwell on Petty things and ignore the important thing . I really feel it's important if the look in to the welfare of the people from makoko slum which are historically part of the settlement of indegineous lagosians and other parts too. Give them grants to start their own business, pay them bursary and subsidize education for them and make sure their people take the number one sit in the state , and represent their people at their different senatorial zones.

aswani:
gingerxy, let's assume you are from Mbaise, you yourself have a right to say "This Mbaise is a sh*thole", I as I am not from Mbaise, do not have that right to use the exact words, even in the same context. It's called common sense or common courtesy.

Bàbà Kékeré used the words "No man's land" in a certain context, trust me, the various Nairaland Obidients used those same words in a very different context to him.

You only need to read the other words they typed after or before they typed those three words to see it was "pregnant with meaning". Quite frankly, Obidients using those words are doing so as a form of abuse and insults (something they are admittedly quite good at).

Feel free to go to any European country or the USA and denigrate their country or land in front of their natives, you will quickly realise it is not just Africans that focus on the "petty things".

The thread topic is about protecting indigenes of Lagos, lots of other Tribes live in Lagos, how did it morph into an anti Igbo thing? Maybe if you open a thread with the question of "what bad things are Ibo's doing in Lagos" , you might get an answer.

You should give me your own example the bad things Igbos are doing in lagos. The only time someone has used that word was with respect to how things can be happening to you in lagos and no one bats an eyelid. No not really that lagos doesn't belong to Lagosian or there are no indegeneous lagosian. There's never a prominent person or leader of any other tribe that has ever come out to say lagos is no man's land. It's quite unfortunate that you will say Igbos said this and that while it's just the opinion of whoever that is saying it , and doesn't represent the opinion of Igbos.

Librason:
What do you mean about running away from the question? do you think IAM a hater !? No!
I have all tribes around me, some are my families .

I ve been told personally by an Igbo person that Lagos is a no man's land, until he was strongly opposed,God is my witness, only if you don't believe in God .

I don't know if the same has been said to another person , but we shouldn't assume that the place is without indegenous people and our body language should not suggest that and why not ?! people should carry on with their business and wait for what is going to be done , no panic.

I wish Lagos is decongested and other parts of the country are relatively peaceful and are also well developed , because people come in thousands /per second , even from another country.

Lagos is the smallest state, and if the authority are in for a bit of control ,we shouldn't see things from point of politics.

Do you know the origin of that statement lagos is no man's land? I just hope you understand that the statement was meant to present lagos state as home of opportunities for all? And that was lateef jakandes speech. Will you kill jakande because he said so? And how did that statement affect the lives of indegenes of lagos State? You give so much energy on petty things and neglect the important ones . Typical of Africans. And please aside Igbos "allegedly" saying lagos is no man's land, what bad things are they doing in lagos again? Please just list a few ? Because you can't keep accusing someone of doing bad things without giving examples of what they did . You keep saying you're not a hater which I agreed to, but then you have to tell me those bad things.

Have they mentioned you or mentioned any Igbo , they say they want to improve their indigenes and you Igbos are unsettled, are you the only tribe in Lagos?
If you had not done mad thing, then you wouldn't have been served mad food.
You are mad because you acted that way, by abusing him first.

What mad thing has the Igbos done in lagos exactly? Just give me example. Because in all what I have been seeing no body has actually said the bad things the igbo did in lagos state. If you know anyone say it, and don't run away from the question .

aswani:
This is wonderful to read gingerxy. Knowing that in ala Igbo, you can be from a neighbouring state and be allowed to rule in other Ndigbo states, absolutely fantastic.

This means you and other Ndigbos would have no problem at all with Yorùbá's from neighbouring states ruling Lagos, àbi?

After all Ndigbos have shown those so called sophisticated Yorùbá's the way forward in the matter, right?

In as much as other people from other states have ruled they still allow the indegenes to take their rightful position. It's even a point of debate to wether there's actually indegeous lagosians or everybody came and occupied an empty land?

INDOMIE9090:
when did Lagos indigene complain say yoruba from other state are dominating them??
Emeka,we don’t discriminate here unlike your osu caste region where anambra see enugu as low class ibos.
Meanwhile,the current house speaker of OSUN state is from OFFA,kwara state,osun indigene never see anything bad in it as long as he his yoruba,meanwhile, Lagos indigene dominate civil service in ogun state

The present Enugu State governor is from ebonyi state. The former ebonyi state governor Sam egwu is from Abia state so what exactly are you saying? If you talk about marginalization it's tailored down to leadership and the polictical dorminance . If you can't allow true lagosian like abaje and GRV to become governor of Lagos State because of someone from ogun state or osun state , you're actually telling them they don't own their state. Indegenisation as it's implies in the constitution of Nigeria allow people from a particular state to rule the state and not people from their tribe to rule people in their state then turn around to say you want to protect them ? Protect them from who exactly? Maybe from their greedy selves of course. Learn how to argue without starting with insults .

This report is commendable. I love the way Sowore highlighted everyone allegedly involve one way or the other.

The most baffling thing is that this same Emefele was the key tool used in the embezzlement of national funds by the likes of D!ezani, Dasuk!, and the rest of Jonathan's administration corrupt folks.

Yet , Baba Buhari, a supposedly man of integrity. Who rode on the Anti-corruption attributes to power; - Not only retained Emefele after coming to power but also renewed his contract afterward. Not only that, he gave him the power to run the country economy into ground; nonchalantly and recklessly. He took the rate from N167-N764 per dollar. To add more pepper, he declared his intention to run for president, he was also going around with military personells and armour tanks as personal security to evade justice. A god status.

I dont think Buhari is an accomplice. I choose to believe he was hypnotised, misled, uninformed or something. Because everything feels wrong here. Something that only exist in horror stories.

You in particular was one of attack dogs used against anybody that voiced the senseless policies of buhari administration. But here you're talking against everything you once supported. Ain't you the worse hypocrite?

Librason:
Open your empty and vacuum brain let me pour sense in it.

If Yoruba dey fight themselves for Yoruba land or Yoruba dey dominate Lagos indigenes, leave them now , sebi na the same people dem be , are they complaining to you Igbos? or do think Lagos indegenes are on your side?

Then why trying to make it look like it's other ethnic groups living in Lagos (especially the Igbos) are the ones subjugating Lagos State indegenes? You are happy the state assembly is trying to make law that will protect the indegenes of Lagos State? if that's actually what that law is to address , then it should be to stop people like Tinubu, sanwo olu, fashola from becoming Lagos State governor. At the bolded , it's the mad man who is always first to call others mad.

Librason:
If you are sensible , you will know the politics between the indegenes of Lagos and the other Yoruba indigenes and politics of Yoruba ( in general) vs the Igbo are not the same.

Indigenes of Lagos will be proud of their state yes , but they still work hard in hand with the Yoruba in the state , their mutual support is needed.

Even though they will be proud of their state
and feel entitled to it at the expense of the other Yoruba indigenes, fine, but the politics between them is none of your business.

If you guys are not loudsy, do not have domineering spirit and calm, how is their politics yours .

Your own stupidity is the claim "Lagos is no man's land " which is why sensible Yoruba unite against you .

I have heard this stupid talk from so many of you ..
...
If not for resistance , you would have dominated a lot of people, it's in your blood.

That's what you do everywhere including the South South .

You wanderers , should always think deeply and sensibly and respect your host , wherever you go .

Stupid talk, you bought property , so if you brought property , then you are Lord of the land abi? are you the only one buying land,
Nonsense!

What exactly is the relationship between other states Yorubas and Lagos State Yoruba polictics? As you asserted in the gibberish you wrote up there. Do lagos state yorubas go to ogun state or iragbiji I osun state to call an individual to come and rule the because they do not posses the administrative ability to govern them selves ? Do you still realise that there's what is called state of origin in the Nigeria constitution? There's never a time we hear that Lagos State indigien is the governor or Oba in any other state in the south west? This your attitude of always trying to rule Lagos with people from ogun state, osun, oyo, and the rest , and not people from Lagos State it's self is actually telling them that they do not own Lagos State.

Librason:
Don't get it twisted that Yoruba didn't fight or resist the Fulani.
Even it was difficult initially because it was the Yoruba man himself who invited the Fulani to come fight his brothers for monarchical reason, they still fought them in that olden days before they lost the throne to the Fulani.

For your information , the Fulani even extended and tried to conquer the entire Southwest and install their Emirates before they were defeated and pushed back.
Ogun jalunmi is your reference.

And even in recent years OPC have been tormenting the Ilorin metropolis, but some of the Ilorin people themselves are the ones claiming they are Fulani, but in other parts of Kwara, there are Yoruba communities and towns , they are even the majority.

Who told you if you sell land, you lose ownership ? get education, it depends on the agreement , land use act is the hand of the state government and revocation is their right depending on the issues that warrant it.

And a land can be sold and stand to be revoked after a certain number of years based on what is on paper.

You have to be enlightened.

People want to help their indegenes to grow and not allow them to be relegated and you outsiders are lamenting, what's the problem!?

Home is home , haba!

The only set of people that has relegated the lagos state indigien are yorubas from other Sw state like osun ogun and their likes. As they have occupied their polictical space, And installed some of them as obas. This is just the truth that the lagos ruling class doesn't want to tell the lagos state indigien instead they're making it look like the Igbos are the ones relegating them . The next thing you will hear them say is that Igbos said Lagos is no man's land. And that the Igbos want to claim Lagos State. And I ask how is it that the Igbos want to claim lagos state? Because they business in Lagos or because they're contesting to become governor of Lagos State? I don't know really understand how people reason these things. Is just lake of reasoning or just shear stupidity?

You can now say today that American belongs to this white Invaders/strangers because they were able to take another man's land after overcoming series of war of resistance and can now make laws that will favour all strangers since they are strangers themselves.
Even if you travel to United States today and give birth there your son can become president while you can only become governor.
So there policies will favour all incomers , since they are incomers /strangers themselves.
Even though there are still laws in preference of aborigines ( after so many fights for it).
This is what the indegenes are against.
Some people like to claim ownership after accommodating them examples are Fulani in Ilorin.

Seriously I use to ask why are yorubas not taking it out on the fulanis the way they keep harassing the Igbos ? You didn't accommodate the Igbos , you accommodated the fulanis and they took your lands , you sold land and rented houses to Igbos at exobitant price, then turn around to say you accommodated them? Do you know the meaning of accommodating someone? If you sell your property you lose ownership of it.

goslowgoslow:
Lol inferiority complex indeed! Yoruba man feel inferior 😂😂😂😂 bros you dey make me laugh who una be? Yorubas have attained so many heights before you people ever think of getting there. Thanks a lot sha for your long comment but it seems to me that you weren't in Nigeria during this past elections if not you will understand that it goes beyond what you are saying.
Thank God for people like you that understood what Jankande meant, most people don't especially Igbos.
Furthermore the last part of your comment is full of gibberish. Tell me any Igbo man that Yoruba man wants to take his land, most of the lands are even sold with legal documents so how easy will that be? You just sounded like the other dude who has limited knowledge. Why are Yorubas not having the same problem with other tribes or are those tribes not buying land and doing business in Lagos? Na only una Igbos!
Mind you I have no hatred for any tribe,my wife is Igbo my kids answer Igbo names but that doesn't mean I will allow some group of people to step our toes. I am not a member or supporter of APC as a party so na u sabi wetin you dey talk. Anybody that speaks out about Igbo is APC! That is not new I don hear am taya.
Like say una dey even sell una own land for person! Very vile tribe! When they hate anybody or a group of people they hate them to the core.

I have asked you people before to go to any south Eastern state and price a land if it's not sold to you because you're a Yoruba man please put it up here with evidence. why won't I sell my land to someone that wants to build a factory that will inturn employ people from my community and reduce unemployment? You people lie a lot and I don't know the reason for it . If conduct a genealogical test on you I'm sure you're not from Lagos State. Most people constituting nuisances in Lagos State all in the name of being Yoruba are not from Lagos State. Name any of your past governor from 1999 has Lagos genealogical trace. Not even Tinubu not even this one you have presently. Look at how the true lagosians are languishing at makoko, I have never seen any of you lend their voice or advocating for better life for people from those areas . It's only petty tribalism , no true value it's just your own selfish interest.
