AdaojoTheUrchin:
The election has shown Igbos to be the most politically refined of the human race in Africa. A man with a Yoruba name won election in Igboland but an indigenous Yoruba man with an Igbo name is political victimized by Yoruba Muslims and thiefnubuu APC thugs in Yorubaland.

Posterity will be very brutal to some people.

The man clearly said he is not a Yoruba man.

He said Abiola is a nickname.

He is not a Yoruba man

He said clearly that his Abiola is a nickname.

Lol


Some people will say that ;


Yorubas should go and claim Kwara First before claiming Lagos

Tinubu won Kwara by wide Margin against a Fulani (Atiku) in Kwara.

The current governor is mopping the floor with the Nupe governorship candidate from PDP.

while using Saraki to mop the floor on several occasions all this while..


Congratulations to little Alhaja.

Acidosis:
They've been asking you to name these people but none of you can! You lots are pathetic.

Don't worry, people are already filing reports against many of you on Twitter, especially Ogbeni Dipo.

This xenophobic actions will come with consequences in due time.

On various social media platform I saw several bloggers/Vloggers disrespectful comments. Some saying it is Bini land.

Bro whatever consequences you want to bring, bring it

We have done it before in operation wet-eh, I hope we won't live to see such again.

The thing I hate the most in life is hypocrisy.

We saw tugs attack people in other regions especially the southeast but nobody talked about it.

We saw how certain people were saying Lagos is not Yoruba land for the past one month but no one said anything about it.

But when Yorubas do anything in retaliation, they are called Tribal bigots.

Is it because you people have refused to post other regions especially your own.

You mean if you don't win.

Kukutenla:
This is why I say most of these APC supporters claiming Yoruba-centric are just lying. There's no difference between you guys and ipob.
You mean to say now that anyone who is not in APC, Yorubas are not comfortable with such persons and the only way to stop such persons from winning in Lagos is through violence?
By implication, violence is an acceptable campaign method in Yorubaland according to you.
It's ok

Read my comment and comprehend next time..

The opposition must present someone Yorubas in Lagos are comfortable with.

Hope you post results from polling units like two weeks ago.

LagosEmir:
I actually voted for the Labour Party in Governorship and house of assembly and I hope it counts

I am not asking who you voted for

I am saying you should accept results from Alimosho in good faith.

I don't want to hear we had 99% in Alimosho but APC actually rigged it after the election.

So you should accept the results that come out of Alimosho regardless of the outcome.

The guy himself is making a very divisive statement

So is he saying APC are not indigenes.

Massiveglory:
I would have called you a mad man. But I will not becos I don't believe in insulting people. But you see this evil you are gratifying, it will receive it. It will hit you. It will jam you at a time you least expect.

I don't know where I supported evil.

But whatever you wish for me will be yours as well.

endsarrrs:
Nor be sofisticated una be again ni?

Most Nigerian state has at least a 40% illiteracy rate, which means about 4 out every 10 can't read nor write.

And those 40% are very active politically. Hence, to win one has to bring someone that will calm down their nerves.

Only a True Yorubanised Lagosian like Obanikoro, Abode can appeal to those illiterates in Lagos in a local election.

Lol.

I don't support violence but you really think you can unseat APC from Lagos that easily.

You have to use a candidate most Yorubas in Lagos are comfortable with not a young man who by his own admission "doesn't think in Yoruba". (Whatever that means)

Eriokanmi:
That's why you people always fail exams. Such a simple post, you couldn't comprehend. O lagbara oo. Check your dictionary for the meaning of the word MOSTLY

Check your dictionary for "Any".

Just say you are PDP lite forming new Nigeria because you have seen a unique chance to take over Lagos through the back door.

Eriokanmi:
You're right on those projects you mentioned. They were mostly ambode's projects which sanwoolu only completed and commissioned. There are still a lot more , which sanwoolu abandoned. Had ambode been allowed to continue, he'd have completed them and done much more.

You are a lying pretender

So you can say Sanwo-olu completed any projects in mainland?

You this PDP lite guy. Is it Ambode that is contesting against Tinubu today?

a4cube:
What is Saro and what did he get wrong?

Saro are the decedents of returning slaves..

He grouped Ijebus and some Yoruba groups as not part of indigenous people of Lagos.

a4cube:
They are nothing they are Yoruba more than any Yoruba from another SW state.

The writter stated clearly that Lagos is not the state to use to form Pan Yoruba. Nothing like Pan yoruba, its either you are from lagos(indigene) or you are a migrant (both Yorubas from SW and non Yorubas). Everybody is a migrant unless you are an I digene of lagos.

I don't think the writer of this article is a Saro.

Although he still got a lot of things wrong.

raskymonojendor:
No problem.

I just wonder what they mean by "real" Lagosians, when Omo ibos try to elevate settlers from Freetown over Freeborns/aborigines.

Igbos are the ones doing that.

We have lived with our Saro brothers for decades in Lagos and Ogun state and we have never had any problems with them.

They are Yorubas and considered indigenous to the state the Europeans drop them.

Nice2023:
U are bloody liar.

It is owned by us the indigenes of Lagos not u guys from other states of yoruba land.

Afi "us indigenes naa"

raskymonojendor:
True owners and not descendants of slaves

descendants of slaves are our brothers too.

But they should not think they are Yorubas or Lagosian more than other Yorubas in Lagos too.

Mindlog:
No be only peculiar history.....the question remains apart from Lagos, which other SW State has elected a Governor who is from another SW State?😆🤔🤔🤔

Make your research igbo boy.

wirinet:
That's because the original Lagosians are not tribalistic, they have a long history of interactions with people from all other the world apart from all over Nigeria. They we're part of the Bini kingdom, they were repatriated slaves, they were British subjects, so there is little room for tribalism/racism, and that's why they intermarry without issues. The real tribalists are the immigrants from Ijebus-igbo, from Shaki or from Ede, they can't imagine marrying another tribe. They are very intolerant to others.
I did both my primary and secondary education in Lagos Island. I school with the Fernadez, Oshodis, Ojoras, Phillips, Fahms, all original Lagosians. There was no atom of tribalism in the children of these families.

How is Fernedez Fahms Oshodi more Lagosian than Akin olu and Akin dele etc.

Mindlog:
No one is going to another state to become a Governor in Nigeria, only in Lagos has it been possible.😆😆😆

Igbos learn the peculiar history of Lagos.

Otherwise you will be treated as foreigners for the next 400 years.

Acidosis:
The fact that all the the ethnic groups in Yoruba land are laying claims to different communities is enough to know that Lagos doesn't belong to them.

From Egba-Lagos to Ilesha-Lagos, Ilaje-Lagos. Baba, you no be indigene. The fact that your people settled in a part of Lagos some years ago doesn't make you an indigenous Lagosian.

You mean the Yoruba Saros, Bini/Awori( not be confused with real Aworis) were not sellters in Lagos?

So what is difference with Egba settling in Alimosho, Tapa settling in Epetedo/ Oshodi and Ijesha setting in various places in Lagos before Nigeria even existed as a country?

Actually you don't know what you are talking about sir..

The Ilaje along with Ijebus are the Yorubas that settled along the costal areas of the Yoruba land to Port novo ( Ajase)

Have you ever heard the phrase Eko Aromisa and Eko Aromire.

Majority of the Eko Aromire are Ilajes with a few Edo/Awori and Awori

The 90% of Eko Aromisa are Aworis.

Mindlog:
So a Bank-Anthony, Doherty, Akerele-Buckmor, Rhodes-Vivour etc from Lagos, can go to Osun State and claim indigeneship and aspire to become Governor?😆😆😆😆

What of Akin-olu, Oyefuse, Akin-Dele etc.

They should come to igbo land ?

MrSegunAdewole:
you're an Omo ale

Bro relax and learn about Lagos, it has a very peculiar and delicate history..

You guys should learn this history.

MrSegunAdewole:
Shut up

Lol

Must of you Igbos must leave out emotions and learn the true history of Lagos.

If you want to have some politicial influence in Lagos, you must be patient enough to learn the peculiar case of Lagos.

a4cube:
That does not disqualify him from being a logocian and lagos indigenes. His too posh to know where ibadan or ogbomosho is. Maybe he knew Agege and environs because of this election. Don't crucify him because of his posh upbringing.

well! if you want to be a politician or get involved in politicial discuss, you must know and understand your people..

wirinet:
Ibadan was a war camp created to assemble Yorubas from all over Yoruba land to confront the Fulani jihadists. So what's your point?

Exactly! Someone who doesn't know his history will tell me mine

Ibadan had existed before the Oyo/Fulani wars.
