@OP, calm down and take a glass of cold water.

Stop spreading false information that people are planning anything against igbos during the governorship election in lagos.

Lagos is not the only place where election is going to take place.

as for why igbos were not allowed to go their separate way, Nnamdi azikiwe caused it. He should be blamed for removing the secession clause from the Nigerian constitution

Chimok:
Yorubas seem to be more tribalistic when it comes to chosen the number one citizen(president) of this nation. Majority of Yorubas not all if I might put it that way.

The recent presidential election buttressed that fact. There is no doubt Obi is the better candidate among the trio of Tinubu, Atiku and Obi but yet, due to ethnicism u have many Yorubas rooting for Tinubu simply on tribal considerations than credibility.

Funny enough, the whole country including the Yorubas suffer the primitive decision. As they say, there is no market, better hospital, roads, cheaper petroleum products etc exclusively for a particular tribe over another, We all collectively suffer any premordial decision anchored on tribal or sectional sentiments.

I have been to Ekiti, Ondo, Osun, Ogun, Oyo and I found that the level and rate of suffering there is far alarming than what one finds in the southeast - Anambra, Imo, Abia, Enugu. The only places in the southwest you find any semblance of moderate economic activities with moderate living conditions are only in the state capitals of Abeokuta, Akure, Ibadan. There are terrible slums littered all over Oshogbo and Ado Ekiti especially those areas that have high concentrations of Yorubas.

This brings me to the question, what are these Yoruba politicians doing with the resources of these southwestern states. In the southeast a state like Anambra, where you will find slums are in the urban areas like Onitsha, mostly where you have concentration of non indigenes. When you go to the semi-urban areas and villages you will find significant economic activities with decent living conditions among the people.

This piece Iis not targetted as insult but factual findings that should encourage youths of Yoruba and southwest to thinkover because they are the ones that can hold these Yoruba leaders who have always set them up ethnically for their selfish agenda.

Op, only you have been to osun, Ekiti, ONDO, Ogun, lagos etc. What exactly are you looking for?

How many states in your land locked region have you been to?

If any state in your region is better than the states you have visited, you won't have any reason going about like sheep without shepherd.

JASONjnr:
Lol, you're intimidated by their prowess....

Igbos are your nightmare!

Noticed that Yorubas are the ones complaining about them...

From them occupying your lands to marrying your sisters, to taking over your businesses and so on...

Not only the yorubas are complaining about the igbos. Except you are claiming ignorant.

Everyone in the north and your neighbors the South South are complaining.
You guys are terrible. I don't know why!

Good for her.

I hope her husband will attract dividend of democracy to his constituency.

akaahs:
Just like many apc governors won because Buhari effects in 2015

Exactly.
Once they put the picture of Buhari in their banner, boom people will begin to tump print for them.

All these guys contesting under LP are just taking advantage of the Obi tsunami.

Some of them don't have any experience and good manifesto.

Just put Obi's picture in your campaign banner, that's all.

I learnt and Okada rider won an election in kaduna state under LP

Mindlog:
Yorubas and Hausas are all those you listed.......then why the upsurge in threads like this on Nairaland by Southwesterners when you folks know you are "way ahead" of igbos in all spheres?

The OP may have his own reason for the thread.

I only mentioned a guy that said yorubas only specialized in selling local herbs while the igbos dominate the Nigerian markets.

mauriceminor:
mumu igbos are richer Dan everyone

Shut up!

The Hausas are the richest in Nigeria.

Ayam not hausa o. But that is the truth.

Zonefree:
Let's be frank please, if Igbos leave markets in Lagos, there'll be shortage of goods and most of the markets will be empty, same as if Yoruba women leave Agbo business and sachet drinks, there's will be no more cheap herbal medicine to help cure our jedi jedi and weak erections.


Igbos control the markets in Nigeria. Anything buying and selling, leave it for them.

Yorubas are incharge of agbo and sachet drinks with amala and ewedu.

Make everybody maintain their lane for peaceful coexistence.

Yorubas run the financial space - the fintec and banking industries.

Yorubas have taken over the entertainment industry especially the movie and music sector from under your nose. This are sectors you guys where dominating before.

We have yorubas who are doing well as traders. But buying and selling is simply not just our thing but some are still doing it and are doing well.. Yorubas are mostly education are and academicians.

I have come across yorubas who have several shops in utako market and building material markets here in Abuja. I was shocked! I bought my washing machine from a yoruba man here in Abuja, the shop is so big. I got to know he is a yoruba when he revived a call as he was about to write my receipt.
He spoke in his dialect. When I asked him how he understood yoruba he started laughing. He told me he is from osun state and there are many yorubas who own big shops here.

Hausas too are not left out, if you see their shops you will marvel.

Don't allow your shallow mind to give you the wrong impression that only the Igbo are doing well In trading. If you go round, you will know more..

The Hausas are by far the richest in Nigeria. But they don't brag with it. They have bought up almost all the oil wells and they currently dominate the political sector.
You own oil, they control it yet you brag about buying and selling. What a shame?!

Brendaniel:
That was why Wike was angry, shameless man who likes to steal and oppress...meanwhile...


Lagosians have chosen Governor Gbadebo Rhodes- Vivour(MON)

Wike is a strong man. If not, the people of would be sitting @ home by now.

Doyou2019:
The Lagos agberos are a rare breed. These ones leave the parks and come into your neighborhood for their owoda duties. Dem dey collect Owo oga, Owo Iyawo oga, Owo orisirisi and you sit there to even defend their actions. At least the Anambra government is clamping down on their own vermins ; the ones here are brazenly supported by the government at the expense of ordinary citizens who just want to survive.
Is this your dream for Lagos? To have these scum continue to exploiting and extorting you and your children in perpetuity?
What a shame.

Lagos is your last hope and paradise. I don't stay in lagos. That state is too congested for my liking.

What gives you the impression that GRV will put a permanent end to agberos in lagos state?
Did you see that in his manifesto?

If you are not comfortable with the way lagos is being govern, why not relocate to another state. Must you stay in lagos?

Doyou2019:
I could never vote for a governor who tacitly supports agberos and uses these scum for the suppression of Lagosians. No sane Omo Eko would do such a stupid thing for whatever reason!

Mention one state where there is no agbero.

Have you been to anambra state? The level of agberoism in lagos is a child play compared to anambra.

Even Abuja have agberos

Naira20:
The bolded is the reason he must give way for those who can do it without a kleptomaniac godfather.

If someone rehearses madness for 4years, how many years do you think it'll take to execute madness?

Sanwo-olu is dangerous and can't be trusted

Sanwo olu is far better than Peter Obi and that ipobic GRV nonsense you guys want to impose on Nigerians and Lagosians.
Anambra state witnessed cases of insecurities and there was a case of youths killed and dumped in a river during Peter Obi's tenure and he did nothing about it.

Metaphor44:
I'm tired with life. Seems God has abandoned us

Don't give up brother

Chai!

APC why?!

Metaphor44:
Is this for real?
Corruption is endemic. It is innate in an average African. Each time I read out matters like this, I feel depressed because I know what I am going through. I understand what others are also going through. The hardship is intense. Why would these people continue to siphon our common patrimony at our own expense?
Anybody who can help me with a job, no matter how menial or humbling, I would appreciate. You're helping an entire family if u do this for me. We are dying here

May Devine Helper locate you in Jesus name

chaseblack:
Person wey dey near Doherty? That's when political opponents will say his real name is Dohertchuckwu from Abia state and implanted in Lagos state by IPOB agents.

Even if Sanwo Olu should move to opposite party I am sure the ruling party will remember he isn't a pure Yoruba but and IPOB slowpoke.
Dey pretend as of you don't know that Rhodes is as Yoruba as anyone can be.

You guys always avoid the fact that Rhodes hates yoruba people. His tweets confirmed it.

I will rather vote a full blooded Igbo man who loves and respect the yorubas than vote a pure yoruba man who hates his own people.

factcheckmmm:
Truly the prophecy of pastor Chris is rolling out

The spirit behind Tinubu is jackal, a deceptive spirit that is standing representing another person



Can't you lot see how the Fulani are having a field day

While their Lagos will be controlled by thugs some other south west state will be controlled by Fulani herdsmen while others will take their share in areas they find applicable provided the trophy has already being given to him for standing honour.....
And foreigners have already started mocking the people




As for now, the happiness and joy the Fulani herdsmen will use and kill. Is that joy when you are granted freedom..

This time they will try to be faster and the joy they will have now. They will kill and always feel relieved whenever they kill..

Now that you have succeeded in blaming Tinubu for what happened in benue, I hope you are now relieved?

I am not a supporter of any of tinubu, Atiku or Obi. But you guys should take it easy pls.
Don't allow useless politicians to make you think irrational

BeardedmeatR:
LoL

My earlier response jolted you into making a foolish comeback.

Miau miau miau miau

BAT born cat.

Nnamdi azikiwe is your greatest enemy. He was the one who got you guys into this mess and you guys will remain in this mess for a long time to come.

BeardedmeatR:
Tinubu too didn't believe in Nigeria at a point. Infact, during Jonathan's confab of yesterday, he led some section of yoruba leaders to boycott the confab because it was not a sovereign national conference.

Do you know what that means?

My own is that Nigerians don't love themselves and would never be one no matter the narratives.

https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://allafrica.com/stories/200105030065.html&ved=2ahUKEwjk-vKonM79AhXiavEDHTl5ALQQFnoECAkQAQ&usg=AOvVaw25qFodGA0zMpnRxB0sHKep

It is very obvious that Nigeria is a country of many nations.

Who got us into this mess? The same people who once referred to Nigeria as a zoo are the people who removed the session clause from Nigerian constitution in 1914. They are the same people who said God has ordained the igbos to rule Nigeria and Africa for ever.

They are the same people who opposed Awolowo and balewa when they called Nigeria a mere geographical expression and demanded to leave in 1946.

This same people kicked against Niger delta republic and threaten to deal mercilessly with anyone that come up with such plans.

What has changed? Why has the same Nigeria suddenly become a zoo?

Why are these same people now demanding their own republic?

The igbos see Nigeria as a zoo and a Biafra nation as their last resort when things are not going for them as planned but use the reverse gear when things begin to fall in place for them.

People who once called Nigeria a zoo are the same people claiming equal right upandan.

It is well o.

Those responsible for this incident should be brought to book. This is unfair in all ramifications.

I see lagos state governorship aspirants paying visits without finding lasting solution to prevent future occurrence.

sweetjohn:
Yoruba are one only when it has to do with Lagos elections abi. Quick questions: When will your state (Ogun, Osun, Oyo and Ekiti) vote a true Lagosian as governor? Has Igbos ever said in your dreams that they want to become governor in Lagos. One thing i love we Igbos is that we know our boundary. Igbos have been in PH dominating for ages but yet, we still respect them by not contesting for governorship there and lagos own wont be different. Nobody is using the Igbos, we only stand for truth and the truth is that we dont like some criminal immigrants from SW deceiving Lagosians and turning them to slave in their own state. MEanwhile, Nothing concerns Igbos with your stupid illusions of SW and its gubernatorials, ours is to vote and the indigene is to contest and i respect that.

When did a Lagosians contested in the above states and they didn't get votes?

Do you even know that the former governor of ONDO state is not from ondo state?

... and pls don't give me that impression that igbos don't cross their boundaries. You are not chatting with a toddler.

sweetjohn:
Imagine the height of deceipts. A Yoruba man from Ogun, or Osun telling a true lagosian not to vote their own brother and sons but vote them. And to add pepper to injury, this osun and Ogun immigrants branded your own brother outcast and you are appruading them. Quick two questions. How many Lagosian have ruled Lagos or made half of the money Tinubu stole from Lagos? How many Lagosians have gone to Ogun or Osun to contest for governorship and win? An ananmbra man can not come to Ebonyi to contest election and win neither will any south east person go to any other south east state to try such. So, the ball is now on your court true Lagosian. Don't fall to this cheap blackmail from all this Yoruba immigrants from other sw states. Don't be a slave in your own land.

Waiting concern Igbos with gubernatorial positions in Lagos or any other states. No Igbo man have ever gone to any other states to contest for governor. But according to the constitution, every Nigerians has the power to vote anywhere he or she resident. Ours is just to vote and yours (the true indigene) is to contest. And from my rights accorded to me by the constitution of Nigeria, I say vote for LP from top to bottom in Lagos states.

GETAT!

Don't compare South west with that poor South east region. Because we are all in the south doesn't mean you have to make such unwise comparison.

Yorubas are one, we don't discriminate. Gbadebo of LP is our son. He shot himself in the leg the moment he decided to link up with the children of hate and displaying the hatred he inherited from igbos to his own people.

If he wins or lose the governorship race, it is a win win for Lagos and Lagosians. The igbos have nothing to gain from his victory.

He is only using you guys to get more votes.

Bad news for some miscreants.

Good news for some miscreants

Kingcalls:
Calabar was former capital in the 1800s when the world was underdeveloped... if calabar was capital till 1980....it will be better than lagos ... edo has airport, delta has airport , anambra has airport, enugu has airport, imo has airport, rivers has airport, bayelsa has airport, akwa ibom has airport, cross river has airport...apart from lagos mention another SW state that has a functional airport .... dead region... I hv been to Ekiti and osun...their main city b like my friend village for Anambra

Who is talking about airport. All states have airports in their own capacity. I am talking about sea port as the excuses most of you give for coming to lagos.

Ekiti and osun you mentioned are fine places. It all depends on the places you visited. Besides, you will still a lot of igbos in those places.

How many yorubas do come across in the east daily?

Tofax:
Breaking news: Committee of indigenous Lagosians endorses GRV for governor.

You will ever see this as fake news, but it was fake news when vanguard reported that Labour party Lagos chapter endorses Sanwo olu for second term.

Just dey play

TheBillyonaire:
GRV's mother is Igbo, so he has Igbo DNA , Correct? Yes
GRV's Wife is Igbo and a major influence on him. Correct? Yes
GRV is running on the platform of Labour Party, his popularity is majorly an Obi-Effect? Correct? Yes.Yes.

Ondo is a Yoruba owned State, Lagos is a Portuguese Slave Colony, belonged to Portuguese and was transferred to Federal Government and became National Capital and was developed using commonwealth of Niger Delta oil and Tax money of businesses most of them, Igbo owned.

Lagos is lucky to have a hybrid GRV on the race. Lagos will be better

His wife and mother are igbos, he has an Igbo DNA in him.

Are you trying to an Igbo DNA signifies hatred?

Because the guy is filled with hate against his people.

All the people defending this guy are trying too hard not to talk about his tweets on social media.

He simply can't govern the people he hate. His ambition is dead on arrival.

He should go and contest for governor in the east since he has Igbo DNA in him.

He should do well to insult them and call them all manner of unprintable names before contesting.

Let's see how many votes he will get.

AdaojoTheUrchin:
In one week, Sanwoolu has;

- Visited more churches, computer village, Balogun market than he has done in 4years.

- Ordered all LASTMA operatives to cease arrests and stand down.

- Released all impounded vehicles awaiting auction

- Release unpaid Pensions and Gratuity

-Opened Apongbon bridge

- Unban Okada Ban

-Pay pension and gratuity, and increase Govt staff salaries..

If you give him your one vote after showing you shege for 4 years, heaven will judge you and you will not stop suffering because you don't even need a prophet to tell you that he will show you shege in the next 4 years..

Vote Labour, don't waste your vote.. Sanwo won't be contesting like an idiot like this if labour party legitimately led by only 10k votes.. they know the real figure

Thank goodness he did all these in just one week.

What did Peter Obi do for the people of anambra in 4 years.

- he increased tuition fees by more than 50%
- state university staff union went on strike for 6 months
- state medical doctors when on strike for more than a yr
- hide state money in Panama haven
- no local government election
- he was eventually impeached and kicked out like polio.

Austindark:
I think it is time for lagos to try another Party.
When one Party stays too long in power, there is bound to be pocket sized individuals, who builds a corruption niche here and there.

You want to try another party by voting someone who has shown open disdain from you and everything you represent?

You can vote ADC candidate if you really want another party. At least the governorship candidate of ADC has loads of experience

Tofax:
If Ireti Kingibe is Igbo by tribe (the senator for FCT), by now urchins & Ibadan gutter media like TVC will be shouting out loud that Igbos want to take over Abuja.
But since she's Yoruba, they've all gone mute

Shut up, Ireti kingibe has never insulted the people of Abuja.

She always show them love and respect, that is the reason why she was voted for..

Gbadebo aka chinedu on the other hand hated his own people because he wants to get votes from the children of hate.

How can you govern the people you don't love?

How Possible is that?
