Montaque:
thank you my brother.
I got to learn a lot from the Oba's statement. It shows that if 2mao,the LASG starts victimising non-indigenes in Lagos, it won't be seen as an injustice,rather a right action by the indigenes who ve the right to do as they wish because they are indigenes and the victims are non-indgenes.
Are we still in the same country?
There is need to look into this issue!
I ve non indigenes in my place,but we don't go all out threatening or victimising them,cos they are Nigerians like us and deserve the same treatment as any other person.
Now,Okorocha is re-affirming this threat,later people will ask why Ibos don't like him.
He is a saboteur.

Sloan:
It is too late for this eye-service diplomacy!

Time to sensitize all Yorubas and galvanize them to action.

Ahmadu Bello & the northerners action against Ibos in the 1950s - 1960s, till date was right in hindsight! They cannot understand any other way!

Igbo sorry CRIMINAL TREASURY LOOTERS (Any government in power)
They are not wanted!!!!!!

italo:
Assumption. Why don't you give me one example of Yorubas maltreated in Igboland...and one example of a Yoruba who tried running for a position and was rejected. don't blame Igbos for your laziness.

Again...it seems you have never come across the Nigerian constitution. That land I bought in Lagos belongs to me...and not to you or your drunk Oba.

Cocoa? How much is cocoa? How much cocoa is grown in Lagos? Why then did you dump cocoa for oil?

Lol.

owobokiri:
Akiolu has always been a talkative. With the benefit of hindsight, APC may gain from this but I doubt if the loquacious Oba was acting a script. He just didn't like the Eze igbo titles around him and may have been pissed too with the federal house results in igbo dominated areas. So he went off.ungaurded in the defence of his candidate. You guys from Yorubaland find it difficult to criticise the throne or even wayward elders. That is a cultural flaw you must find a way to deall with someday. Otherwise it takes no rocket science to feel Akiolus ill manners. Even before this outburst, if you have followed him closely, you would have always sensed that his mouth will get him in hot waters someday.

emorse:
I don't agree with you bro. Ownership of what land are we talking about? Are you aware that almost every tribe in this country has at least a small community in each state of this country? If everyone has to go back to his own "state of origin", it would amount to a useless reshuffle. The population would remain almost the same and the country would be as disunited as can be. Your kinsmen that have settled productively elsewhere would have to go back "home" and start rebuilding.

On the other hand, abolishing the state of origin would ensure that every Nigerian has equal opportunities irrespective of where he is from. The Yoruba man can bid for a contract in the Niger delta and be considered fairly. The Hausa man can live peacefully in Aba and contribute in his own little way to the development of his "state of residence" knowing fully well that there is an Ijaw man somewhere in the north doing the same. In the long run, children would be born with emotional attachments only to Nigeria as a country instead of any state or region. Names would not even matter anymore because inter tribal marriages - which I presume would be more common by then - would have united everyone by blood. Tribal conflicts would be dead and gone.

PS- All these would not happen in just one year or even a couple of years. Generations may pass. But it would be a long standing legacy for generations to come.

[color=#1980BC] Why won't they laugh and pretend?? Who dey home?...Is it not the foolish man who who shows his cards too early? Abi you want the Oba to bundle all of them straight to the lagoon from his palace? Shey, you give them life jackets ni? [/color]

Frankenstein:
Can someone post a pie-chart or a histogram illustrating Lagos population according to ethnic groups.



No matter the extent of the perceived provocation from some Igbo people in Lagos, no single individual will be thrown in the lagoon. Yoruba APC politicians can not afford to have their economic powerhouse become the ground zero of a major Nigerian tribal crisis.

Such a situation will also be catastrophic for the president-elect, his sponsors, party and supporters because anarchy will rule the country and calls for secession and a military takeover could be unavoidable.

haywire1:
hahahhahhahahaHaha , looking @ my igbo neighbour head now now, o'boy d head flat ooooo .

Igbo identity but one luv keeps us all together.

Peace

[color=#1980BC] That is the point we are saying.the only buffer to their hate and discrimination is the fear of the igbos,the fear our pride and once that pride is stung and nothing is done or humble ourselves,it further emboldens them to do more.Btw,whoever gave you that crap about stolen properties?? Til today Ojukwu's family are still fightin Lagos state into reclaiming their father's houses,Did you not read about igbos caught out in Lagos during the war who were summarily executed as alleged spies?? Forget the 20£ insult for another topic.....We are saying a stand off brings in mutual respect from otherwise two hostile parties and any form of weakness (like you are blatantly displaying) exhibited by one party is ruthlessly exploited by the other.Read your history.US/North Korea....Nazi Germany/British Empire,US/Japanese Empire......Rome/Carthage etc [/color]

ceejay80s:
By the time pdp will win lagos, u will see how agbaje will unseat him as oba of lagos, incase u don't know, a governor has every right to remove any oba from seat. Una eye go clear

luvinhubby:
You don't have sense at all......there is something called IP address & with that you can easily be tracked down and arrested by the security agencies for threat to life, just pray nothing happens to Jimi life or else you are a propable murder suspect......kid!

eCollynzo:
Abayomi, If you know the hardwork, suffering and risks involved in oil exploration jobs done mostly by Niger delta youths, you wouldn't open your mouth to spew this rubbish. Farming is mere fun when compared to seismic data acquistion jobs where people crawl is swamps, mud flats and other wicked conditions with heavy equipment straffed to their backs.
Do you think oil flows in rivers?
