Yes it's an issue

Nollywood is different from governance.

He will have to rule and communicate with everyone including the educated and illiterate.

Lagos indigenous people are 90% Yorubas and nearly 100% Yoruba language speakers.

Edo people have started to play emotionally charged politics and they soon be getting emotionally charged results.

People will continue to win Elections in Edo based on emotions not performance.

FreedomfromtheT:
The answer to your question is that perhaps for the first time, Igbos saw a good product in Peter Obi which other tribes were buying and bought more of it.

A good product?

Why didn't he get 100% all the time he contested for the governorship election in Anambra?

owobokiri:
What are you trying to do?
You are trying to postulate that Lagos was by any chance built by the South West or by the Yorubas?
This is why Oshogbo, Ogbomosho and Akure all look like Fallujah, Sirte and Aleppo? You built the ports, the airports, the highways and bridges and..., Right?

Kwantiniu to open your tribal dry nyansh in public

Lol.

Ibadan had the first sky scraper in Nigeria outside Lagos, First television station in Nigeria, First university in Nigeria, first olympic size stadium in Nigeria.

The most performing governor in Lagos history is a Student of Awoism in Jakade.

You guys need to learn history.

IS PETER OBI A DICTATOR.

or are Igbos not republican in nature again?

It is very rare that everyone in the same family think alike!

owobokiri:
Lagos is the financial capital of the country. As a result, the city is highly essential and strategic to Nigeria, in terms of serving as the clearing post for most foreign direct investments into the country. Its amongst the biggest economies in the continent, not because of the socalled policies of one inebriated mutant called Tinubu, but because of the massive infastructural investments in the state by the federal government. Investments that came directly from the collective commonwealth of the country.

Even as a "made state ", Lagos still collects some of the highest amounts from the federation accounts every month as allocations! It's the home to most of Nigerias entrepreneurs! Such a state, with all her strategic importance to the country, should never be surrendered to the hands of a creepy drug lord masquerading as an emergency democrat. Lagos should be left as distinct territory devoid of all sorts of worn out tribalistic claims. Ibadam is the capital of Yorubaland. Let them develop there.

Awolowo built Ikeja industrial complex. Ask your parents.

Ikorodu, Epe and Ikeja were parts of Western region of Nigeria.

kettykin:
The topic shows that yorubas claiming Lagos contribute the least to Lagos development.
Niger delta appears to be the major contributors

Lagos was the federal capital before Nigeria discovered crude oil In commercial quality in Oloibiri.

The ikeja industrial complex was built by Awolowo before ikeja was declared part of the federal capital territory by the military government.

kettykin:
The oil headquarters in Lagos all belong to niger delta . Even edos were known to have discovered Lagos first , that biggest banks in Lagos belong to niger deltans , now what are even yorubas claiming Lagos contributing aside cultism, omonile , area Boys, and this disturbance of the peace and tranquility of Lagos with their loud noise from sham parties and extortion of the innocent businesses in Lagos

How on earth can Edo discover Lagos first?

Ajase/Port novo at the othe side of Lagos is occupied by Yorubas and Egun, Ogun state the other side of Lagos in Nigeria is occupied by Yorubas. So how on earth will Edo now discover Lagos.

You suppose use your Head sometimes.

jmoore:
Seun Kuti, a Yoruba man said Lagos is not Yoruba land.

Instead of the cowards to attack Seun, they are attacking Igbo people.

Epitome of cowardice!!

Seun Kuti said no part of Nigeria belongs to a Nigerian. Lagos is not Yoruba land as Onisha is not igbo land

He said it's british territory that our forefathers have sold off to them a long time ago and our leaders are simply caretakers.

However, you guys deliberately decided to quote him out of context.

Cbn governor doesn't take part in politics but bought presidential election form.

He is also a card carrying member of APC

Huzzle don start.

The bus terminal Makinde constructed about four in Ibadan.

People are still questioning him.

seborrhic:
I went to crosscheck who won the presidential election in oyo state and discovered it was APC.
So who are these people cursing because by implication it means they were satisfied with how Buhari's APC been running Nigeria including the cashless policy.
If the excuse is that Tinubu was against the policy that purportedly caused the death of the presenter,then there is a contradiction in trying to separate the man Tinubu from the party and policies he supported for 8 years.

Didn't Peter Obi and his supporters supported this Cashless policy before the presidential Election?

Ojiofor:
Politics of divide and rule.

We don't know any ikwere in the Southwest.

To us you all Igbos..

Racoon:
What we're you lots thinking whenTinubu was shouting emilokan? Just imagine the sham of an election that throw him up as president-elect. Would warped reasoning, parochial, and ethno-religious supremacist sentiments allowed you to accept him were he an Igbo man?

Bruv, reference an election since 1999 that has more upset than this election.

I am waiting.

Make a igbo governor not speak igbo

You making are references of states with five different ethnic groups, where not up to 35% of the population represent one single ethnic group.

Lagos is 90% Yoruba land and 10% Egun..

Obaseki you opened the door for Eluu P in Edo State.

Get ready to resign..

Racoon:
Sorry sir. You don't tell me what to take because everyone of us have our different worldviews, perceptions and analytical skills. We don't feel the elephant from the same side.

of course, your analytical skills are beclouded by emotions and ethnic sentiments as usual.

Just do an honest summary of the article!

Ojiofor:
But Chibuike Amaechi of Rivers state is not Igbo according to Yoruba revisionist.

An average Yoruba will even call an Edo or Akwaibomite an igbo.

So what exactly is our business with ikwere ?

Racoon:
Guess you read that; [i][b]"Igbo voters voted for Obi in unusually large numbers because of his unexampled acceptance outside the bounds of Igboland.

Given that Nigeria has never had an Igbo president, it’s unreasonable to accuse them of bigotry for their choice. Any demographic group with the same circumstances as the Igbo would do the same.

MR Racoon, if that is the only thing you picked from this article, then you really need to have an introspection

Racoon I hope you take the lesson from the Article and don't twist the narrative as usual.

The article summary is that people shouldn't blame Igbos for supporting Obi because they felt he is the closest they have had to presidency in a democratic settings in a long time, it also advise igbos like Racoon the Op of this thread to Dial down the rhetorics and stop bullying others for not accepting Obi because it will only reinforce people's hate of Igbos

Rexxie234:
Lagos is a land of the binis. Even your great oduduwa is from benin. Eko the you claim to be yours is of bini, the binis established it. Your grand Lagos by God's grace will be a refuse dump soon. Even Port harcourt is better than lagos to me.

Where are the villages of bini In Lagos?

Massiveglory:
Keep quiet if you don't know history.
There should be an old man in your village that should tell you history.
Lagos is not a yoruba land. Dies the name lagos sound yoruba to you?
The indigenous owners of lagos are the binis/aworis. Every other person is either a lagos is by birth or a migrant.

Tell the binis to point to their villages in Lagos outside the land given to them in idu-mota in the Land of Aromire.

Massiveglory:
Keep quiet if you don't know history.
There should be an old man in your village tgst should tell you history.
Lagos is not a yoruba land. Dies the name lagos sound yoruba to you?

Lol

So Lagos sound like a Nigerian language to you

However, I never knew, Somolu, Ikorodu, Epe, Ikoyi, Sango-tedo etc. The names of villages that eventually became Lagos State is in igbo language.

Dafresh:
The Oba of Lagos said so but to me it's Yorubas that owns Lagos

Can the Oba of Lagos point to his large sway of Land he controls outside idumota..

At least he should be able to point to the land in Lagos that is not originally a Yoruba land in Lagos before you can ratify his words.

Dafresh:
Even the Oba of Lagos said it and he quoted from what Oba of Lagos said. Although to me it's Yorubas that owns Lagos

Why is the Oba bearing a Yoruba name Akin-olu not Osas or chukudi.

For your information, Oba of Lagos has no extensive land in Lagos island outside idumota given to him by the Aromire sub-clan of Awori..

The sons of Aromire are the Oba Elegushi, Onikoyi of today incase you don't know..

CloudWalker:
Lagos is completely enclosed in at all sides! by ogun state. check the map. IT is a Yoruba land without controversy

Not just enclosed.

Yoruba and Egun is the indigenous language of Lagos. It's even spoken in the palace of Eleko which eventually became Oba of Lagos when the portuguese arrived our shores.

The so called Journalist has been totally bias from day one.

He is Anti-Yoruba, Anti-APC, Anti-Tinubu.

He has never championed anything that is not remotely anti Yorubas or Anti Tinubu even though he claims to be an Activist, he only is an activist against Yorubas..

He has always taught that an Anti-Yoruba stance will make him noble because it puts him almost on a sainthood pedestal in the eyes of those that hate Yorubas.

Nonetheless, a day of reckoning is coming for him..
