imhotep:
I am sure your neighbors are all Igbo

Never being a neighbour to igbo, o live on my own house. Thanks

Thanks to the Yoruba guys for putting these pigs where they belong. For making them know their positions in our land as nobody. Thanks guys, was too busy yesterday, would have came in too. But I love you guys. We will keep using left hand to point to their fathers' land for them. We use left hand for them because that is where they belong, they don't deserve right hand. Remember what happened in South Africa after they are claiming to developed South Africa. They cost other nationals doing their things and respecting their hosts. Thanks guys.

Igbo people left Lagos in 1966.
Guess who brought them back

Answer what I asked and don't deviate.

oodualover:
Iboees have being opening countless thread because of Lagos. This is quite embarrassing!!

I dey tell you. It is becoming embarrassing. Tufiakwa

liberalsinnerx:
OP, if you are Yorubaa and spoke so honestly like this, well detailed and backed by examples, then there will be no reason for some Igbos claiming they developed Lagos. The reason why some Igbos do this is because they feel they not been appreciated by yorubas, or some distorting facts. You don't hear Igbos claiming they own Abuja, when in fact Abuja development today cannot be discussed without mentioning Igbos. If you think Igbo presence in Lagos is something, come to Abuja and see. When El Rufai say that over 70% of real estate and landed properties in Abuja are owned by Igbos, the locals, Gwari and Hausas didn't deny it, they know. And they appreciate it and Igbos don't see any need to blow trumpet like they do for Lagos.And you don't see them asking Igbos to leave the Abuja like you see in Lagos with Yorubaa.

Appreciate igbos for doing what?

hornyofife:
Now as to whether Lagos is a no mans land?

Yes, it is and No, it is not.

Yes it is because it is a melting point for every Nigerian, it is place where you don't feel like you are lost. There is space for everybody or group in lagos. The original indigenes of Lagos are micro minorities hence if we are to go by who owns Lagos, then 95% of those in Lagos and who claim Lagos including the Yoruba migrants don't belong there.

No Lagos is not a no mans land because, it has original dwellers,it has its traditional institution that has lasted centuries and generations and it has it own unique culture also.

As for the rights of non lagosians including Yoruba's in Lagos, everybody has equal right in Lagos...the only place reserved for the indigene in Lagos is the traditional institution..That is sacrosanct.
Anybody can become the governor, as the constitution guarantees that, so long as you are law abiding, you pay your tax and have contributed to the development of the state and also you have the followership to vote you in since democracy is a game of numbers...Mind you, no Lagos indigene has govern Lagos before, all the past governors we never Lagos indigenes..in fact Lagos has twice had an Igbo governor...


As to if Igbo's wants to take over lagos and claim it as theirs

in their widest dreams, igbos can never and I mean never do that. Igbos don't have a history of occupying or subdueing people and their land...Igbos are the most peaceful people you can ever come across. They just want to live and let live. They want to thrive and do their business. They may just be a bit arrongant, boastful and overconfident but that is their nature and that is all...

Igbos on Nairaland have discovered yoruba lagos migrant'sweakness, which is their being very reactional and emotional when it being told to their face that Lagos is a no mans land...hence nairaland igbos capitalize on it to spite afonja as it has always being tit for tat...Actually the igbos know they have the economic advantage in Lagos, whether with government or not, or whether Biafra or not, they are always confident of their survival hence if afonja talk down Biafra, the Igbo's also spite afonjas with their Lagos economic advantage..it is that simple...but it all starts and end on nairaland. The real lagosians which include all migrant settlers both Igbo, Yoruba, foreigners, nigerdeltan and northerners are sealing deals, making money, living peacefully and partying hard ogether....

I have carefully avoided igbo manufacturers, baners, ICT firms, oil and gas firms, big plazas, big hotels, pharmaceuticals, brevages,importers, automobile industry etc.. Jexterpose the combine contribution of these firms in terms of development, taxes paid, employment, increased value,social responsibility and overall the pride of Lagos as home for all, then you will understand that, without the igbos, Lagos will not be better than at most Accra or Lome.

So finally, in conclusion, so long as Nigeria remains,not deminishing the contributions of others,I think it will be hypocritical for someone who has sold of his land, collected monies and signed document to begin to tell the new land owner what to do with his land or because you are Yoruba, even though a migrant whose father doesn't even have a property to his name in Lagos and probably a tenant to an Igbo land lord to begin to feel you have more right than an Igbo whose grand father and father have live longer in Lagos than your father because you are Yoruba..yes you are Yoruba but a migrant also...

Looking forward to the future, other Nigerians will begin to ascert their rights in Lagos especially northerners who are beginning to increase in numbers with the crisis in the north. We may begin to see local government chairmen of northern extraction winning elections in northern dominated areas in Lagos as we already have seen with the Igbo's both in state and federal house of representatives..and I see it leading to producing a non Yoruba governor of Lagos state one day.

meanwhile since there is no Biafra and the Yoruba's are hell bent of keeping Igbo with them in Nigeria, then they should be ready to accept the fact that igbos in Lagos have come to stay and igbos will eventually become the new economic colonialist of Lagos, which they Are not doing consciously or preplanned,it is their enterprising nature,gift and culture. It happens for them organically and naturally..so for Yorubas, you cannot eat your cake and have it. so deal with it...

Concerning the boldened, I will like to ask you some few questions.
1, Are the Yorubas the federal government?
2, Is there any igbo man that carried their luggage and leave the west to east and a Yoruba man blocked road in order for him not to pass?
3, The last time igbos moved Emmas back to east from west as in yorubaland, did Yoruba stopped them from going?
I need a sensible reply from you with strong back up.
Concerning the one you said according to your own opinion, that non Yoruba will begin to govern Lagos because Hausa are coming in. Let me tell you, hausas are not foolish and never stepped above their boundaries. If you think what you think in your mind will happen, then you are dreaming or imagining. Well maybe it will happen only if you can move olumo rock from its current position in Abuja to the east or west. Non Yoruba will only govern Lagos only if Lagos can be moved from west to maybe east or north.

Op, are you done ranting or you still want to continue?

chily11:
Let the dead, bury the dead.

Are you igbo?

Hmmmm

SHAKABOOM:
And make sure yu tell ur children's,Children the history..Enough is enough of the agbada Claim.

Use placard and protest.

SHAKABOOM:
In those days the yorubas that wore agbada ad the yorubas that first rode on horse were the yorubas that shared border with the hausas ad other northern states e.g ibadan,kwara ad co.
They acquired dia clothes,weapons ad horses tru trade by batter with the hausas,nupes ad fulanis..After coping dia dress code they passed it down to other yorubas,Other yorubas now reinvented dia own style.

Ok, take the history to the elders

Airforce1:
Jealous people

They've brought tribalism into these because the slayking is from the East.

Why are these people so jealous of the Easterners

Please check your brain. That is whack and not anywhere close to agbada. Get that.

See gbege

Amarabae:
divide and conquer tactics dead on arrival.
Continue weeping and gnashing your teeth

Sorry, am I the one that tagged you chameleon for standing with kanu but do not like his tactics. Why are you vociferating na

Amarabae:
continue To cry me a river

So you are pointless now. Oh lawd.

Amarabae:
be editing my name and stop disturbing my mention.
Thanks.
Historical Chameleons and backstabbers calling others chameleon

Editing your name ke hehehehehe, abeg go fight your fellow igbos that tagged you chameleon.

Amarabae:
cry me a river.
I stand with Kanu. Full stop.
I only advised him like a sister in that thread. Go through it and read it.
Tell ur military to tell the whole world why they invaded his house and kidnapped him.
The Igbos want to know his whereabout.

Like I said, I don't take people like you serious. Rat today, bird tomorrow. You will still be reminded of these as that guy just reminded you. Stand with kanu but don't like his tactic. What a statement

Pidginwhisper:
Igbophobic bigots? Who are the Igbophobic bigots?Madam kpro jhor and stop contradicting yourself and be straightforward.Na ppl like you go deny ever knowing dem family @ gun point, so pem that talk.

It's not about Igbo generally, it's about you not knowing your stand. It's about you being hypocrite with that post which contradicts a thread you created some weeks back.
Na the "likes" wey no u no fit convert to shedas dey make you dey miss yarn. You just dey talk like Orpkorpise. Curry abeg kawa cmot for here. Support the Movement if you want to and stop being Hypocritical about it.

Bros, leave amarabae jor, Yoruba people call people like her seku, seye meaning someone that act like rat and also like bird. They don't have a stand. You don't take that kind of person serious.

Amarabae:
That's reverse psychology for them.
They want a self hating Igbo efulefu who will be insulting kanu up and down or one who will hate anything Biafra.
But tomorrow, after clapping for ur efulefulism, they will be the one to tell you that Igbos can not rule this country.
Devilish elements.

Lol, even your fellow igbos know you are a chameleon. Just check the comments up there.

Sorry am not one,
I may not like some kanu tactics but I stand FIRMLY with him and I stand with my people.
Igbos have done everything to be one Nigeria but hate and more hate is what we get back.

End of story.
You can cry me a river

Yeah, why they gave love and more love back.

phreakabit:
The deceased was not smart enough to realize, he was dealing with Yoruba people.
These treacherous Afonja mongrels should never be trusted.

Reason why you people need to get out of our land to your potor region.

Fight for superiority.

See the pigs in their comfort zone.
