PointB:
I like Yoruba Language. I'm happy it's made compulsory. Let's all learn it and speak it in Lagos. I speak yoruba myself, it's nothing to fight about. Most Igbo who grew up in Lagos speak Yoruba, while those who grew up in the North speak Hausa. Either way, ko si wahala. Awa lenu e. A jo jogun Eko. Eko baje ti!

Ok

g0tze:
my dog just fuckkedd your mom.

Okay, go and tell your parents, you have won.

adeolakemi:
when osun state govt said their igr is bigger than all south east states combined you didn't condem it infact we Yoruba's were mocking the Igbo's now an Igbo governor said igbos made Lagos what it is today and you want Igbo's to condemn it sorry we ll solidly stand with our own just as Yoruba won't condemn there's

Did your English teacher not teach you how to start sentence with capital letter, when and how to put comma and full stop?

g0tze:
okay.

Did your parents need attention?, tell them I can't give them.

. foreign investors built the skyscraper ,it was built for investment oriented people of Igbo land not for skull miners like the cursed yorigbas

Your father is cursed. So na obijackson buy the orun tower again. Why una like confusing unaselves like this? Your tribe is obviously cursed o.

We Yoruba?? Who are the 'we Yoruba'? Keep deceiving yourself and keep denying yourself. And show us the link where pain state govt said osun igr is more than the whole South east. You just want like at all cost.

PointB:
As arrogant as we are, and as insecure as you feel, we are each other's hope.
Bro, we need to understand our difference so we can work together.

Igbo won't change, neither would you. So let's leave this matter and face the future together. The common enemy love this squabbles, but we are smarter than that. Let's move forward.

The only like you got was given by me. If there is any other, then I am the first. You are now making sense. I don't hate igbo, take that.

Ojiofor:
Go and learn from your elders if you can't use Google search.

Stupidity is when you say a military governors govern because they were igbos. Do you know how many northerners that govern in Lagos and in South East. Do you know how many yorubas that govern in the North and South East Asia governor under military. Now my question to you, were they elected by the people or transferred just as northerners were transferred to the west also and Yoruba transferred to east. Average igbos are dumb in reasoning.

laudate:
Actually, Rear-Admiral Ndubusi Kanu was governor of Lagos State from 1977 - 1978, while Ebitu Ukiwe was governor of Lagos state from 1978 - 1979.

I know, I don't count military governors as governor that govern. Do you know how many military Yoruba governors that govern in the east if we are to take it from that. I knew he and ebitu govern under military, but they were only transferred there just as Hausa gove4nors were transfer to Lagos and other states. Many, Yoruba military governors governed in the east. But we're they elected by the people. So no igbo man ever rule in our land by election and not by transferring.

writerights:
We have craftsmen and artisans from every region across the world. If you have an Igbo brother who is up to the task to take up the job, I'm not sure you'd invite the yorubas. Not everyone is educated and not everyone would have a white collar job so getting yorubas to work for you is no big deal at all. If I have to invest in the east, eastern brothers would work on my site.

I don't see why Yorubas should complain, as a matter of fact, we live in peace and harmony here in Lagos. All through school, my best friends have been Igbos. Some can speak yoruba fluently and even say our proverbs, other who can't speak definitely understand. I'm convinced most of the Igbos creating hate - filled threads against the yorubas here on nairaland are the hungry ones who don't know where the geographical location of Lagos is and who envy their brothers excelling here. They are simply willing to create troubles for them.

Owo Iyaloja is just giving unto caesar what belongs to him. These boys only do so in Lagos and no where else because they are sons of the soil. This scenario may be worst if Imo or Anambra State were Lagos. Yoruba and hausa settlers may have to pay for standing, sitting, walking or even singing in Igbo land. You really don't expect any Igbo man to come to Lagos and say Owomida, do you?

I believe our common enemy is our government and not our neighbours, until we know that, this kind of thread wouldn't cease gracing the homepage of Nairaland.

Person dey lie and you dey swallow it. No be igbos that are billionaires on paper again.

PointZerom:
Back to sender...I am not a lazy man my dear.

I am a dealer in plumbing materials and tiles. Only here to attack those that are insulting IPOBS and Ndi Igbo in general.


Only if you know how many people that are in my monthly pay roll. .......pls try another joke.

Yinmu, na today. Is it not you billionaires on paper again . I repeat, the girl will feed your household till 19th generation.

PointB:
You should help, if you indeed want to reclaim Lagos. We are the only one standing in your way as apparent from your obvious consternation. Alas for all your claims of sophistry and long term planning, you fail to see how Biafra can give you back your Lagos! Such a shame. Well, we await your deportation plan. It's appears to be taking too long coming? Don't you think it make sense today rather than tomorrow when we send in another million migrants.

Time is ticking. Sooner or later, having Biafra will no longer be fashionable for Igbos. What happen then, my dear suffersticated friend?

Standing on which way? You are standing on the way here on nairaland abi. You stand on the way but you couldn't do Jack when Yoruba language was made compulsory even for your children. Are u this daft?

liberalsinnerx:
Another Igbo investor, a big real estate player based in Enugu is negotiating the second tallest skyscraper in Eko...the hotel I think. We will buy up all that Eko Atlantic City and finally rename it "Igbo-Etiti." These afonjas don't know who we are. By the time we are done with these people, over-run them, buy up all their properties and make them perpetual tenants...indentured servants, they will run back to Benin Republic out of frustration, and leave Lagos for Igbo Jews developers to develop.

If wishes were horses. After typing this, go home and eat the smelly akpu mama left for you.

trash!

If you are Nigerian Igbo, you would have known first hand the type of unwarranted hatred leveled against Ndigbo.

Nigerians are only interested in how to benefit from Igbos and will deny them any benefit from Nigeria or even acknowledgement for their contribution. So shove your one sided advise and first "advise" Nigerians to accept Igbos as part of this country.
BTW, i know you are an Afonja!
Trying to deny it in your obvious post does not trick anyone one bit.

gidgiddy:
Very stupid write up. As you said, Fulani herdsmen slaughter people all over the country, they dont attract that level of hatred

Boko Haram and islamic fundamentalists up North slaughter people, they dont attract that level of hatred

Niger Delta militants go on the rampage destroying Oil installation, they dont attract hatred.

The Igbo man opens his mouth and talks, they this is the worst form of hatred.

Something is wrong with Nigerians. What is wrong with Igbos saying that Lagos is no mans land? If Yorubas like, they can Enugu is no mans land, most Igbos would not care.

Igbos are not in Nigeria to please Yorubas or Hausas and if the other ethnic groups dont like it, they should come together and agree to grant Igbos their separate country. Why would anyone want to be with someone they dont like?

But to be hating on Igbos with one side of the mouth while insisting on one united Nigeria is ridiculous.

Nigerians should learn to take Igbos are they are or grant them their own country. Put up, or shut up.

"....This is why I don't blame Lagos state government officials trying through legislation to preserve the Yoruba character of Lagos by compelling Yoruba teaching in schools and also holding legislative deliberations in Yoruba..."

OP will you also not blame the FCT minister if Gwari is made compulsory in Abuja?

Lagos has always been distinct from the rest of the Yoruba cities...

...Lagos Colony was a British colonial possession centred on the port of Lagos in what is now southern Nigeria. Lagos was annexed on 6 August 1861 under the threat of force by Commander Beddingfield of HMS Prometheus who was accompanied by the Acting British Consul, William McCoskry. Oba Dosunmu of Lagos (spelled "Docemo" in British documents) resisted the cession for 11 days while facing the threat of violence on Lagos and its people, but capitulated and signed the Lagos Treaty of Cession.[1] Lagos was declared a colony on 5 March 1862.[2] By 1872 Lagos was a cosmopolitan trading center with a population over 60,000.[3] In the aftermath of prolonged wars between the mainland Yoruba states, the colony established a protectorate over most of Yorubaland between 1890 and 1897.[4] The colony and protectorate were incorporated into Southern Nigeria in February 1906, and Lagos became the capital of the protectorate of Nigeria in January 1914.[2] Since then, Lagos has grown to become the largest city in West Africa, with an estimated metropolitan population of over 9,000,000 as of 2011.[5]

Leave Lagos alone and go fight for Ibadan, Abeokuta, Akure, Ado Ekiti, etc...

[/s]Ori e daru. Lagos looks like your papa house. If you are pained the Lagos has been a Yoruba Land from begining of life. Kindly run enter the lovely site below. I say rip in advance bro. That oba dosumu sounds like igwe chukwudi abi?

Pay loli

OrestesDante:


More lovely as this could have been.


This lady is a great disappointment to his father at his last days and her family as a whole.


This so called husband was hired just to make his father happy.


How could you have brought a husband with a Medusa styled hair to your ailing father?


I hope this marriage lasts because this man doesn't look like a responsible Esposo.

Sorry Mr wannabe nwaamakpe

PointB:
Bro, abeg leave stories for the god. Anyone can claim Nze or any title online, with doggy proofs. If truly you are what you claimed you are, you'll know being and Nze does not elevate your voice far and above others in gathering of Umunnas. So please keep your title under your armpit, it's of no consequence here in cyber.

As per matter at hand, anyone can call any city whatever he feels especially under the anonymity of cyber. Situation on ground may be differ, but you cannot rob a man of his opinion because it threatens your interest.

Again my dear 'Nze', Lagos is "No Man's Land." I have goggled the meaning, but I do not care. Calling Lagos No Man's Land to the consternation of some simpletons is a way of telling them that I reserved the rights to exercise my freedom of speech without let or hindrance.

I don't have to be politically correct cos someone feels his ox has been gored, when it aint so.

Abi, just like I like calling enugu n anambra a no man's land. Just as you said, it is to make yourself happy. So case close.

Heavance:
It seems you are affected by my post, and I never quoted anyone.
Mind you, I am not from their land at all.
If they misbehave, must you join them?
Leave them, when they will be addressed they will be quiet, just like they're with Nnamdi Kanu right now.
Your hate speech is just destroying our unity more, and making the northerners stronger.

We don't want unity with igbos simple.

leezzz:
lagos +ibadan=world biggest slums
justsaying

Says a igbo man from the world dirtiest tribe. Aba, umahia, onitsha are the world dirtiest places ....... World health organisation WHO.

Bede2u:
u are not Igbo. Otherwise u should know not to wash ur dirty linens outside. This thread will not do anything other than insult Igbos who u claim to be one of.

Because he's not as stupid as you.

meforyou1:
house of rep member in lagos - igbo. house of assembly member in lagos - igbo. very soon, we will win governor of lagos. and nothing you or your brothers from osogbo can do about it

Nice dreaming. Still continue and don't stop.

meforyou1:
Lagos is no man's land. even a prominent lagos indigene said it, that lagos belong to binis. all those yoruba from osogbo should go back to their rural slums. we developed lagos from when it was water and sand to what it is now, so we have the bragging right.

Igboman from ebonyi, which one should we take now. No man's land or bini land. Are you this daft. Oops, sorry, I should have known, if obiano a whole governor can have a daft brain, how much more you the youth. Beside, why confusing yourself. No man's land or bini land, which one?

koning:
Very on point. You cannot believe the number of these Yoruba families I'm helping to feed in Lagos. Most of them from Ondo, Osun and Ekiti. Almost everybody working on my properties are Yoruba. From the Bricklayer, the Mason, Carpenter up to the project supervisor. They don't have any basis whatsoever to complain about the Igbos. They should rather be grateful.

That Owo Iyaloja is paid mostly by Igbo traders.

Just keep the lies up, I am listening.

koning:
I very much doubt if you are Igbo with this azz-licking and ridiculous heading. You could simply ask Igbos to invest in Igbo land without having to bring up the issue of Lagos into it.

Lagos has never been a Yoruba Land. 97% of Yorubas in lagos are immigrants just like the Igbos, Hausas, Binis and other SS peoples. It is and will always remain a cosmopolitan entity for the entire nation. Yorubas are more in Lagos because of the proximity of core Yoruba states to Lagos.

Igbos are many there because of our ubiquitous and adventurous nature.

Igbos should invest more in Igbo states. I agree. But that has nothing to do with Lagos being 'no man's land'. Stop sucking up to Yorubas. that is if you are actually Igbo.

Oga, tell your father to jump over ondo, osun, oyo and ogun states to be the gov of Lagos state since it does not belong to yorubas. At least, no one will challenge you in your imaginary no man's land.

adeolakemi:
the day Igbo's leave Lagos is the day it will competing with osun

They should leave first, we don't want your sermon. We even want Lagos to look like waste bin.

SpComedy:
Lagos is a no man's land and the narrative is simple............. The yoruba may more in number but the no man-ness of Lagos is economically based.........

Every Nigerian contributed/is contributing to the growth of Lagos, the federal government used/uses money gotten from all over the country to build Lagos the more, all ethnic group in Nigeria are scampering to Lagos in other to gain back their resources used by FG to build Lagos, Thus making Lagos A NO MANS LAND.......... If e vex una ask federal government to construct federal roads, ports and airports in other region just like it's in Lagos..............

Lagos = NO MANS LAND

Says who? Your father or your mother?

generalbush:
Lol

If Igbo's didnt develop Lagos, then who did?


Is it our father's who keep shouting Owo da at every bustop,

Or our mothers who sell Alomo and Agbo that will develop it??

Nawa ooo ... Lol

Abeg why is abia, anambra, ebonyi, enugu nm not developed? Because I no understand why our land will look like dump site and we keep crying of developing another man's house.
