meccuno:
the hausas can not be more than the igbos in lagos na......but if u mean hausa fulanis,there aren't that much......

Hausas or Hausa Fulanis are used interchangeably. Your assertion as to the Igbo being more than the Hausa is debatable, since Hausas (I think) have far more established settlements in Lagos.

meccuno:
so when oduduwa fell with is chicken,he fell into lagos island and then started creating the yoruba race? Your "mumuism" is legendary.......so its about yorubas and non-indigenes? Or lagos indigenes and non-indigenes which you and I fall into??

^^^^ See an earlier answer above.

meccuno:
by indigenes,you mean the real Lagos Indigenes or the yoruba indigenes? I don't get you.....

Do you know most governors of Kano state are from other northern states. The common thing is they are considered Hausa and most likely were born in Kano. A lot like this obtains in Yoruba land. I don't know what obtains in Igbo land, but for you to be governor in Hausa land or Yorubaland, you must be identified fully with the people there.

dunkem21:
You make me laugh. What do you think that is going on? Igbos and Yorubas inter marry, have children and own lands in Lasgidi.

Abi, U never see Ibo Omonile? ..wey dey speak Yoruba fluently and sell lands in Lagos.

That's what I am saying dunkem. You see, Psquare will be somewhere laughing at you like 2face. He won't join you in this fight. When the worse comes to worst, you'll only see him at the King's palace begging for his half-brothers not to be lagoonized.

freshdude99:
he can't do otherwise, his hands are tied. Even here in abuja, so many igbos are already contesting, very soon we their massive investments, the FCT administration won't have any choice than bringing them in. Less I forget, we also have the population to buttress our genuine aspirations

Everything is allowed, but the day you start calling Abj a 'no man's land' is the day the natives will surface.

And another thing is: Tinubu is your enemy. Why should he make a Hausa man President, Yoruba man VP and he couldn't even make you the Senate President or Speaker of the House. If he cannot do that why won't he give you small Lagos? All he did was to start the the process giving you mere commissionership when he was governor. He and Fashola must be disgraced for this almajiri pittance.

I am tired of all these Igbo people crying everywhere. Every thread you open now is filled with cries about Oba Akiolu's plan to dump the Igbos into the lagoon. Some even say Lagos is a 'No mans land', or that Oba Okiolu doesn't own Lagos. So it was some few years about Fashola wanting to expel them all to Igbo land. But I ask: Did Fashola deport only Igbos?

Since all of you love Lagos this much that you cannot bear the repudiation of this jingoism; I have an easy plan for you.

It is: If you're an Igbo boy marry a Yoruba girl and if you are an Igbo girl marry a Yoruba man. I think this will solve the problem in the meantime. That way you become a Lasgidi man by association. The children too become Lagosians since they are referred to as "Sons of the soil", even by indigenous Lagosians. That is what smart Peter Okoye, some of my Hausa people and some other Nigerians did, .... and they lived happily, ever after.

Do this and many small other things I may advise you in due course, and someday you may even become the governor of Lagos state. No need of all these crying, fightings and forcing. I don't want to say you're deficient in diplomacy, but you don't get what you covet by hostility, especially if it's in the hands of somebody more powerful than you.

stigman:
You don't talk like adult

Or you don't want to hear the truth.

stigman:
If the Igbos should leave lagos, the economy of this town will return to zero, u are at their mercy

No bi dea leg dey carry come Lagos. Sey Lagos people go Umuahia beg them make dem come Lagos?

Popemax:
nwanna shut up there....keezi aka iji aru

Popipo, why are you afraid? Relax. It's a joke. Nobody is throwing you into the lagoon.

stigman:
You didn't answer my question, do u know that some of these Oba are not from nigeria or here, its no mans land, are u a tenant in ur villaga the answer is no, some of the touts u see collecting money don't even have house, the ones causing problem in Oshodi live under the bridge, all these people claming lagos check them very well, most of them are not from nigeria

But which Oba is not from Nigeria? Would you agree to even one foot of Igboland being called a 'No man's land?' As for the touts you see in Oshodi, they think they have a right to their land, though I am not supporting what they're doing.

TAEKWONDO1:
without doing that, he wouldn't have become what he is today. Bro seriously u can survive without IGBOS here in Lagoon sorry Lagos

You're unlike many to have seen this far.

stigman:
Are you from lagos, is tinubu, fashola, Oba, ambode from lagos, wake up, the land in lekki to epe is own by 5 different Oba, does it mean they don't have people they rule, if they have where are they, the touts you see here are not from lagos state, so whose land is it

Are you asking whose land Lagos is? I may not know, but it doesn't sound like Maxi Moses owns it.

Lindseyrd:
Stupid progressives.Our niceness is being turned into weakness.I am sure they can't do the same in Kano or Kaduna with all their populations over there.We are just not the same with them.They have turned there place into PDP and we are progressive by nature.I am sure this would be an eye opener for the Yorubas.This is what you get for being hospitable.

And the worst thing is, they don't understand the reference to the lagoon is a cultural thing. The Oba may call this to even a Yoruba man if he's seen working against the interests of Lagoon.

stigman:
Zip those brown teeth

I think the Yoruba's would prefer you zip Maxi moses' mouth and ship him to Onitsha if he's afraid of the lagoon.

vinkod007:
What is this one saying?

I am saying that you're taking the lagoon issue too seriously. Relax, the Oba is not pushing you or anybody into the water. Try learning about other people's cultures.

ITbomb:
I just love Igbos, if na Hausa/Fulani dem for start to burn houses and kill people

There as many Hausa Fulanis in Lagos as there are Igbos. But you won't find them calling Lagos a no man's land.

Niwdog:
tinubu is not a lagos indigen. U self no belong to lagos

Tinubu is not a Lagos indigene, ... but Mazi Moses is, abi? That is why he's dividing the river to make way for Igbo colonies.

sexyjob:
What is iindigene?

A Yoruba man living in Yoruba land is an indigene. That does not stop other non-Yoruba men residing in Yoruba land with full rights due to all Nigerians.

deltateam:
You are mad!

You are the one who's mad by even thinking the Oba will push you or anybody into the lagoon. You don't know people's tradition but you're always ready to open your big mouth on what you don't know. Is the reference to drowning in the lagoon used only against the Igbo? It's not your fault. You don't know other people's cultures.

udokpuenyi:
What Tinubu appointed in his cabinet are his political cohorts, not Igbos even we they are igbos

You don try; because of this election Igbokwe is not Igbo na Agbaje be Igbo, from Ihiala local government.

missangela:
Apc slave!,Jimi Agbaje is more lagosian than Ambode from ondo state

He was mistaken as an Igbo man and dumped under the Onitsha bridge. That was why the Igbo's felt he was treated unfairly by Fashola, hence their support for him. Igbo people sabi cry where it is uncalled for. Did Fashola not deport Hausa people too?

Tinubu started all this problem, by starting to appoint them into his cabinet as commissioners. See now, they think they're stronger and are wrestling for positions with the indigenes.

We don't know what Buhari's plans are, but this is a nice idea and it's better than blanket amnesty which I canvassed before. The amnesty period, I think, should be reduced to six months instead of the eight you suggested.

I am not in Lagos, but I've told my girlfriend who's in Lagos to go out and vote Ambo. The same strategy PDP used that hasn't worked against Buhari is what they're doing in Lagos against Ambo, but they'll fail. Anything apart from Ambo is a recipe for chaos as the indigenes of Lagos will feel their land is being taken from them by outsiders.

ommo:
You are a smart GUY. Like your response to atlwireless, very MATURE. The guy is just bitter, leave him.

Thanks man. I understand him quite well to know why he's throwing tantrums. 'wireless is not happy about the change that has occurred in the country.

fair14:
Instead of leaving PDP just tear your membership card and start advising APC. Obasanjo is the head of evil, betryal, fraud and Every unhappy dealings

The difference is Obasanjo took a risk. Anything could happen and he is ready to stand by the consequences of his decisions to leave PDP. These crop of defectors are cowards, hoping to only eat the bread after it's been baked.

Anybody who decamped after the presidential election should be rejected.

nigerianvenom:
explain what u mean by that,sir

Where have you been that it's today you want answers. Not yo derail, I think the thread is alleges that Buhari promised to make Naira equal to the Dollar, which many have pointed out to that he was misquoted.

mekaboy:
As a tax paying citizen, its my right to demand the best from whoever wins.

But under GEJ we don't have right to demand anything. We were shouted down and accused of everything. We thought it's Asari, Fayose, Clark, OPC, MASSOB, Boko Haram. and secessionists who have those rights. But since you're talking of the ideal, I pray you don't suffer our fate under under the outgoing admin.

And that soldier just looked at the children and passed. Wasn't there anything he could do to help?

I don't like the way these PDP people are trooping to APC. I am beginning to be confused when people like mekaboy of the "GEJ till ..." fame start arrogating the right to tell our elected party men what to do more than us who elected them. I don't see myself telling GEJ what to do had he won, since I didn't believe in him. Please you all should stay in your PDP. Don't come and infect us with clueless(ness).
