Some one stating the truth, bringing up the can of worms in YORUBA and FULANI Cupboard, some one reminding YORUBA what everyone has slept under the carpet, in the spirit of love and nationhood.

And so what?Should Yorubas leave Lagos for igbos?

Who is this one again?

FreeStuffsNG:
Ogun state is a very powerful and influential state. I am sure that Asiwaju will be at the Ojude Oba today niyen.

Tomorrow ..Baba wan take style go do faaji for ojude oba

Osoboshi:
can u pls enlighten me more on this.I personally think the Fulani ethnic group are one of the top richest ethnicity in this country but we ain't ready for that conversation

Their line of business being agriculture is the most profitable. This even come with grants and aid. They have many of their people in government agencies.
Don't let us be deceived, north is not as populated as the south.

Zupay:
North whey get Masters and PhD in Nigerian politics?🙄

With this news now, people will think there are no poor people in the South. The Northerners are just using these tactics to corner aid and donations to their region. Don't be deceived. It's only in the North that you will see various NGOs operating and employing hundreds of Northerners. Till a Hausa man buys the whole street, they will still be begging for alms while we Southerners think they are poor. You will see a Hausa Fulani man having more than 10 cows worth over 10m naira and we will still be looking at him that he's poor.
Northerners are not as poor as we Southerners think. There is poverty everywhere in Nigeria.

Kukutenla:
Why pity her
She made the choice
She has to live with the consequences

Honestly, if she is my sibling, im not going to be happy with what she's passing through. She's caged now.Davido is not for her alone.

Angelfrost:
Davido was a dog before he met Chioma... Is he supposed to automatically become a saint now??! Lol!

She knew precisely what she was getting into... I honestly doubt she even married him out of love!

Davido is not giving her peace and joy..Its too much for her.Im sure people around her(unfortunately Davidos people) will be preaching for her everytime to endure.

Kukutenla:
The chioma self
Did she later finish her school or her only certificate is Davido

Her only certificate na Davido oo..
I dey pity her sef

YabTech55:
This woman again?

Since Both of them are Americans, if it's confirmed that it was Davido that impregnated her, he can't escape paying for child support.

honeyB2018:
Your post makes no sense to what GRV is saying.
I want you to know, that every Nigerian, wether Igbo, Yoruba, Hausa, Fulani Efik etc, is guaranteed by the constitution, the right to live anywhere of their choice peacefully, vote and be voted for. Therefore they IGBOS anywhere they are have the right to vote and be voted for, wherever they reside, as long as it is done in a peaceful and lawful manner.
But the issue here is tagging any candidate from any Party aside the ruling party in Lagos State, an Igbo candidate, to be able to win that election
It didn't only work in the last two elections, it happened against the gubernatorial aspiration of Dapo Sarumi in his hay days in politics
This is a dangerous political weapon, to stigmatize and humiliate both the candidate and the Igbo nation in Lagos State.
Ambition is something that is related to everyone. People are free to have ambition, based on the side that favours them. The IGBOS, both as individuals or as a people, haven't committed any crime in having any political aspiration or ambition in a place, where they have contributed to it's development in a humongous way.
They commit no crime in having aspirations or ambition in a place that have become their second home, where they pay their taxes, rents and dues. They have no crime, expressing their ambition, aspirations in a place where the grand norm of Nigeria, the constitution have guaranteed their rights and aspirations
I see no crime any Igboman have committed in having ambition in a place where some have spent over 75% of their life time, if truly they are Nigerians, except you are telling me they're not.
Giving their own sons,Igbo tag, to rob or deny them the sense of right belonging, to me is bad politics. It's worst than any terminal illness.
Today, Jimi Chukwuemeka Chinyere has gone back to APC, no one in APC is raising any doubt about his true indigeneship again. No one is accusing Dapo Sarumi of being Igboman or candidate after the election. It could be the turn of GVR tomorrow. If he decides to align himself politically with the high and mighty in the mainstream Yoruba politics and party, no one will remember his mother and wife are of Igbo extraction.
This is a dangerous form of politics
My concern in Lagos State,is about the real indigenous people of Lagos State,the Aworis and the rest, that have refused to stand tall to reclaim what belongs to them. They have elected to be docile, adopting a sit - don- look attitude. Otherwise how can someone come all the way from other parts of Yoruba land, to be governor, speaker, senator in Lagos State, when there's no kind of reciprocity of that magnitude extended to real Lagosians in those states. Your family ancestral linage, cannot be linked to any family in Lagos, You can never be an Oba in Lagos State, yet you want to exercise authority over Lagosians because you are a Yoruba man, this is quite absurd. This is my worry, not what one Obasa from Ogun State is talking. Imagine Hamzat Obafemi,a prince from Ogun State, been a deputy governor here,and no one from indigenous people of Lagos State can be that anywhere in the South West.
So it's that right you have as a non - indigene in Lagos State, that every Igboman and other Nigeria have also in Lagos State.
As to why other tribes in Lagos State, don't express their views about politics here, I think they will be in the best position to answer your question with regard to that.

Don't cry more than the bereaved.
Lagos state is Yorubaland. We have Ijebus, Aworis, Egbas, Remos, ijeshas as people that can lay claim to Lagos state as indigenous, and looking at it, Awori in Lagos is the same as Awori in Ogun state up to Benin Republic or can you tell us the difference between an ijebu from Ogun state and the one from Lagos state. You can't separate them.
It's the same the Hausas do in the north too because they see themselves as one. That's why a Fulani man from Kano can go to Jigawa to vie for a political post. Do you know that El Rufai is not from Kaduna State? What of Datti Ahmed? He was integrated into Kaduna state from Mauritania because he's a Fulani man and many prominent politicians in the north. After all, their tribe is in Nigeria.
We see ourselves as being from a particular tribe first before becoming a Nigerian.
Tomorrow, if there is no Nigeria, I will still be a Yoruba man while I cease to be a Nigerian. It's only Igbo that didn't see themselves as one because of state creation.
It's absurd seeing someone from far away in south East trying to influence our politics.
If you are not from Yorubaland, don't meddle in our politics. Is that too hard for you to comprehend?
Agbaje failed the moment many Igbo groups started endorsing him.
When it comes to Yoruba matter, if you are not a Yoruba man don't dabble into it because it's a family affair.

olasaad:
The whole thing just looks irritating now how can chioma be happy in Davido home marriage without happiness

Its unfortunate Davido is not giving Chioma any respect at all.
He is just playing her.
I guess the wedding they did was because of ifeanyis death.Because in igbo tradition which Davidos family is aware of they can't claim the boy if Davido didn't marry Chioma.

NewNg1:
The way you guys mislead yourselves with baseless assumptions ehh. That is why the North will keep getting aids and developmental projects because of all the false sentiments against the North. Stop saying what you lack facts of. The North is far better than you think.

Thats it..Northerners are not loud. They are conservatives.They pretend as if they are poor so that they can be cornering all the aids coming to the country .Its only in the north that you will see many active NGOs both local and foreign providing welfare and employing northerners.They see govt jobs as empowerment.The welfarism going on in the north, no state in the south can afford it.

Ebubu7:
where is the error plz?

The dates.
Read the whole letter .They are discontinuing the funding in 2024 budget.
In another paragraph, they wrote from Dec 2026

See error everywhere on the letter and Ben Akabueze signed it.
It looks fake.

NLegendforte:
Shut the unbrushed teeth pig. Igboland covers areas outside southeast; benue, kogi, crossriver, Edo and more than a third of Rivers and a fourth of Delta.

I know you will type rubbish.
ndi landgrabbers.
Be building up hatred for your tribesmen in those states. You hear

Ttalk:
You get bad mouth, na same sch you and Reno attended?

Make we dey use them catch cruise while they respond with emotions

juman:
You mean the king that can be removed by local government chairman.
Even the servant of any king can contest as chairman and be the boss.
We are comfortable with our emir. We are muslims here.

Igbo fought many wars and ran away.
Ile ife was occupied earlier by igbos but ran away from war.
Cant you see the population of your people do not correspond to the size of land you control. You have small size of land mass.
It means you people were always defeated in battles.

As Onitsha, Omoku, Asaba etc is Benins royalty is the same way only Ilorin is Fulanis royalty but the majority of those in Ilorin are Yorubas. Yorubas hold political power in Kwara state.
When Yoruba forefathers were fighting wars and conquering other kingdoms up to Dahomey, Togo, and Ghana, what were the Ibos doing then?
Their forefathers were docile and it's affecting them now that's why they have the smallest geographical region that is a little larger than only Oyo state in the southwest.

Ttalk:
Why are you saying this, 4 Anambra billionaire money can buy the whole of Africa. There are silent billionaire in the SE, richer than Bill gate, it's only out of jealousy that they are not ranked in the latest Forbes ranking

Forbes ranking na rubbish.
1 to 10 on the list is suppose to be occupied by Anambra billionaires if they had made their money legally.smh.
Most of them go die for Lagos as them don sell their inheritances enter bus come Lagos.
Hausas are not making noise..Hausas that are into essentials like cow, goats, pepper etc.1 cow will open at least ten 2x2 shops.
People are just using them to catch cruise.

Pengician:
For 18 years now, I bought SHARES in Dunlop Tyres. Till date, no certificate & dividends. Shares in Nigeria is like scam. A friend bought in Transcorp for years now, the same thing. Please, the Nigeria stock exchange should as a matter of urgency scrap SHARES from Nigeria.
SPEAK UP 2952

You didn't receive dividends because your investments in the aforementioned companies are next to nothing.
Companies declare both losses and profits .

NLegendforte:
Pack well. Great liar. Do you mean ijaw oil in ondo. Have you studied the potential of anambra basin, enugu gas and coal deposit or ebonyi solid minerals. Let me not add abia, anioma area. Propagandists everywhere.

There is gas in Lagos, Ondo and Ogun stateThere is oil in Lagos, Ondo and Ogun state too.Ibos can't drag Delta with Yorubas..Delta and Edo state were in the old western region.
Itshekiri is Yorubas.
Urhobo is from Benin and Benin is Yoruba's cousin. Where there is crude oil in the Delta state belongs to the Itshekiris, Urhobos, and Ijaws and these are the real Deltans, not Anioma people.

You can't drag Delta into your Biafra nansense.
It's even Yorubas that are supposed to be dragging Delta into Oduduwa because they have big stake there.

Cooly100:
All states have international airport...

All states have Iponri bridge and Ijora turnkey roads

Show the pic of al the ones in other states...

I know Kaduna...

Etc,
etc

I am done with you.

Don't be emotional.

If all states should have an International airport, will it be viable?
Lagos international airport and Kano international airport had been there before Lagos was made FCT. The federal government only upgraded it the way they upgraded Enugu Airport, Port Harcourt Airport, Kaduna Airport, etc.

Do you expect the federal government to build a project like the 3rd mainland bridge where it was not needed?

The traffic situation in Lagos then made the then Babangida govt to complete the project which was affecting Lasg infrastructure.

You should know more if you were born then or have relocated to Lagos then.

NB. The amount spent wasn't up to $1B

Thank you.

If you want to be sick in the stomach, debate with an average Yorubaaaaa person...

You said I was lying but after listing just 4 of so many FG investments in Lagos, you poor thing now said Lagos deserve it as a reward...

So where is the lie?

Just read your response again and see if it correlates.

Read and travel.

5. National Theatre

6. Federal secretariat Ikoyi.

7. Lagos house.

8. NET

9. Mamman Kontogra House.

10. NEPA building.

Etc.

I know Lagos more than you...

6. All States have federal secretariats if you dont know.
7.Lagos house is Lagos state building not federal govt.Fyi, when Fct was in Lagos, the head of state lived in Dodan barrack.
8.Which one is NET?
9.You didn't even know that Mamman Kontagora house is in Kaduna state too.
10.All states have Nepa buildings.

Don't be petty
Please get your facts before engaging me.
I can't be schooling you.

I know your type.You lack values.
You said Lagos State has the highest number of federal govt investments in Nigeria. I had to correct you that Kaduna state too has an equal number of federal govt investments.
Don't be silly.

Don't hatch you eggs before they are hatched mate..

You talk more than you think...that's been your down fall.

See my response above.

My responses below..Im from Lagos state and I know Kaduna inside out.

Cooly100:
I will list just 4.

1. Turnkey flyovers Ijora apapa axis, Surulere to Ikeja. Oshodi Apapa road and other high way and other roads...

2. MMIA Lagos

3. Apapa port. Tin can port.

4. Third mainland bridge the is the biggest investment yet. It worths more than 1 trillion naira in today market.

You Ilorin man ..stop dragging Lagos...Drag with your state.

Calm down..
1.I live in Kaduna and there are many federal government built bridges there..
2.There is Kaduna airport if you dont know.
3.There is light port in Kaduna.
4.Kaduna can't have structure like 3rd mainland bridge because they don't have a need for it.

I'm even surprised you mention just 4.

No matter what federal govt does for Lagos in the past, that's the reward for hosting the seat of power for decades which Yorubas objected to.
When the Niger bridge was built, was there 3rd mainland bridge?

Read and travel.

YouandiAllofus:
Relocating the fct out of lagos was the best decision ever made by any president in the history of this country... Imagine the severity of the forming that would have been gushing out of the mouth of these agbado imbeciles if the fct was still in lagos. *No agbado reptile should creep into my mention with precipitated venom!*

Read your history very well.
Yorubas have always been against siting the nation FCT in Lagos from day 1.
It's even, for this reason, a Yoruba man was even asked to head the committee that will decide where a new FCT would be sited.
Did you see Yoruba complain because of the relocation?
If FCT was in a particular region and it was relocated, they would have petitioned UN, AU, POTUS etc.

Ttalk:
This your assertion is a lie

Don't mind him..
I've thrown it to him to mention just one federal project in Lagos state that we can't find in Kaduna state.
I'm waiting for his response.
I live in Kaduna.

Cooly100:
OP, please also remember Lagos has more FG investments than any region.

Not true.
Mention one federal government project that Lagos state has and you will not see in Kaduna state

bigcasava1:
the court is their to stop akpabio

how?

cyberguy72:
Its only in the case of death that the senate President can do such..otherwise it's the courts that can declare a seat vacant.

The Senate president can declare their seat vacant and it would be backed by the constitution and executive power which I'm sure the court will uphold the Senate president's decision.

Throwback:
The greatest disservice any Yoruba politician in Lagos can do to himself, is to embrace the blanket support of the Igbos.

Do this and your political career is toast.

Because Yorubas know that Igbos have an agenda of domination and control, since the days of Azikiwe before our independence.

You can see that Jandor is smart..He doesn't want to kill his political career.As for Gbarebo, his political career is dead in Lagos..

cyberguy72:
It's only a court that can declare their seats vacant

No Chief...The Senate president can declare a seat vacant but they can go to court afterward to challenge it.
If you look at it, any senator that dies or leaves the Senate, it's the Senate President that declares the seat vacant and it's at that point Inec will conduct a bye-election within 90 days.
