That was my personal opinion.

You cannot be Anti Yoruba or Anti Yoruba Muslim in Lagos, like Chinedu Gbadebo, and not expect people to sit back and fold their arms.

Obidients are in the group of friends I mentioned, as are Tinubu followers, they are still in the WhatsApp group we have.

People respectfully expressed their opinions and engaged in debate before elections, not once did anyone abuse and insult.

No one needs anyone to tell them they are or are not Lagosians.

your grammar is incoherent, I didn't understand anything

ItisWell22:
It’s well…




For how long is he being tried for the terrorism?

He’s being tried for terrorism, while BH radicalists and bandits are being rehabilitated and negotiated with? 🤔

Where’s your conscience?😥

Mind you, I’m not pro-biafra, but this comment of yours just reeks of hatred and wickedness!

If he’s being justly tried for “terrorism”, what are we doing with BH and bandits? 😏

some yiurubar who are mostly educated illiterate always show these type of hatred

Akwamkpuruamu:
When we keep saying that the hatred for Igbos is the uniting factor of one Naijiria, it's more than just a statement but a stark reality

same reason some Igbo groups not carved in South east will always want to deny being Igbo just to Garner favour from the powers of federal government

aswani:
That is their choice, I am ok with it.

The Uni I went to, I met lots of Lagosians that I never knew beforehand, we all hung out and effectively claimed Lagos. We all visited each other during the holidays.

Nobody said I am from Lagos island, the rest of you are from Iragbiji or Owerri or Ogwash. We identified with our various areas in Lagos and yabbed each other accordingly.

I never asked anyone where their parents where from, it wasn't important and they told me in their own time.

Those that came back to Lagos after NYSC did, those that went abroad did. Not one person build a house anywhere else but Lagos, including those abroad.

When parents passed on, we went to their ancestral home for funerals and we returned to our Lagos.

We are all Lagosians, who no like am go jump inside river or go meet Rilwan Akiolu make he trowey you for inside Lagoon.

iam glad you Said lagosian the truth is anybody can be a logasian IAM not a logasian but my brother is a lagoisan, but it baffles me when some of us say Lagos is for everybody some person will say others wants to take their Lagos, now you have confirmed it just like tinubu is a lagosian even when he is ancenstrally from osun

aswani:
The point remains, people flock to a larger cornubation where their language is spoken and claim the place.

The operative term is where their language is spoken.

That should not be a problem for Obidients, sorry I mean anyone, especially if the people complaining don't speak the language natively.

oga if don't know how to make sense why not just rest a person claim a place that is not his you say is normal even when you ask the person which state are you from he will mention another place what does that tell you, simple he ashamed of his own

aswani:
Who said they are ashamed?

A lot of Benin speaking people are from places all around Benin, if you ask them where they are from, especially as a foreigner, they will say Benin, only if you ask about their ancestry will they say what village their ancestors migrated from.

I am sure this is also true in ala igbo

when did Benin become a state, if your language is Benin thn you are Benin

franchasofficia:
What I know is that Yorubas came from Saudi Arabia while Igbos migrated from Israel. Igbos are one of the lost tribes of the Jews. It's not as if Israel is peaceful and leading the world like US that we are claiming to come from there but it is what it is, your ancestry remains your ancestry whether good or bad. We are not like Ikwerre people who are.denying their Igbo bloodline just because Igbos lost civil war and just because of crude oil politics and as Ikwerre people claim they came from Bini kingdom, Oba of Bini disputed the lie and said Ikwerre people are Igbo people.



Kola nut also grow in Igbo land. We had one Kola nut tree in my family compound while growing up. So the kola nut story is not entirely true. But I love Ooni and I respect him so much, so I cannot say Ooni is lying, he must know one or two things we none Royals might not know but he needs to research deeper beyond this kola nut story to convince more people about his story.


Maybe Yorubas and Igbos might have shared same family background back in MiddleEast where both tribes migrated from because the Yoruba and Igbo dialect share some similarities in word meanings. And all over Yoruba land, they always have an Ile Igbo this and that, there must something about that.


I know Ooni is not happy with the disunity between Igbos and Yorubas of recent and maybe trying to use this history to calm situation down, and I commend him for that but of the truth, the unity between Yorubas and Igbos today is in the hands of Yorubas to make it work because Igbos have done more than enough for Yorubas to foster unity but Yorubas always repay Igbos with disdain.


Igbos voted MKO Abiola (in 1993, Southeast had just 4 states, MKO won Anambra and lost 3 other SE states to Tofa. But the 3 SE states he lost to Tofa, he got over 40% of total votes cast which means Tofa won him there with very narrow margin despite the fact that Tofa had an Igbo running mate Sylvester Ugo. )

Igbos spearheaded the fight for the release of Obasanjo from jail (go and read about Chris Anyanwu and co)

Igbos voted Obasanjo twice leaving eminent Igbos like Ojukwu and co.

Ogbonnaya Onu collapsed his political structure for Olu Falae to become flagbearer and we then had two Yorubas contesting for President in 1999 yet Yorubas refuse to repay all these.

They forgot all these in 2023 even as their honest elites tried to correct them and remind them of all these.


Igbos without prejudice go to Southwest in numbers to invest and live happily, but Yorubas out of unbridled hatred for Igbos rarely travel to Southeast to invest and live, when they live there due to.work, they refuse to invest or buy lands giving false excuses that Igbos dont sell their land, says who? I have lands in Owerri and Enugu, any Yoruba man interested should chat me for price not staying in Yoruba land and be lying against Igbos whereas we are also looking for people to buy lands in Southeast towns and cities and join us in developing Southeast like we are doing for other regions.


Many Igbos that have investments and properties in Lagos and other places dont live in Nigerja and didn't make their money in Nigeria but for our love for true unity in Nigeria we invest everywhere but still una de hate Igbos unjustly out of fear.


Today a Yoruba man Tinubu is President, he have another opportunity to unite Igbos and Yorubas, but will he do it? Let's watch and see

go to face book search about mazi dibia he throw more light on the ancestral linkage between Ile Ife and Igbo people

delpee:
What I know is that we have Ugbos (in Ondo state today) who fought the Ifes. Moremi, an Offa princess married to the Ife king saved the Ifes from the Ugbos. That's how Ife became peaceful and they made progress.

The Olugbo of Ugbo kingdom has stated the history from their own perspective. It's not so different except that they claim to be the original settlers in the area.

Ugbos are different from Igbos. Ugbo is bush in some Yoruba dialects.

ugbo is also bush in Igbo just like bush farm

aswani:
They are migrating to a place where their ancestral language is spoken, what is wrong in that? They certainly can lay more claim to the place the've migrated to than those whose ancestral language is different from where they have migrated to.

the question is why are they ashamed of their state if origin whenever you ask they will claim to come from Lagos

Esama:
Any igbo that will abuse great oba of Benin will not die well. Because our forefathers enslave you people.

the oba have not said anything wrong why should any Igbo attack him, igbos don't attack upright people

Make i Laugh too

The obiduenr movement is not part of labour party, it's a movement firmed by itself just for Peter obi,

Good people good children, good bruh the best in all good things, in a bad country that detest excellence

Slytiger:
Ijele and Mefoh's crimes are revealing of IPOB's secret after dumping the terrorist group. That's why Ibos hate them.

and you have to love them in return

Paraman:
Anioma will never be part of the south east geopolitical region

Nigeria constitution does not recognize geopolitical zones and there is not no president or governance presiding over any polticAl zone, whee are you afraid of South east as if any one will be floging there

It's not anyone's fault rather is Nigeria's fault to want to segregate igbos, so for any Igbo man to get anything good in government he has to insult igbis first, if he didn't get what he wanted he will always come back to identify with reality

Antitankweapon:
Enough of this North vs South nonsense. Enough of it please. It doesn't help Nigeria. And we are getting sick of it.

Northern Governors and Southern Governors is NONSENSE. We should stop these forums. North and South should stop these divisive forums. It is never helped us. Enough please.

Let's build a United nation that works for everyone, where every ethnic nationality thrives and feels safe. Please.

North vs South doesn't help our unity, and it should STOP. North vs South should STOP.

Let's all work for a United Nigeria.

northern governor's folrum have been existing for God knows how long you never complained, now you see south ern gov you begin to shout unity like useless rabid dog, black people and stupidity are two in one

0001Lagos:
The fact that davido ditched a Yoruba girl Sophia momodu for an Igbo girl Chioma makes him a 💯% man.

His uncle, the executive governor of Osun state , adeleke also married Igbo woman named Ngozi.

Tinubu son, seyi Tinubu married from Anambra state. So, the rush for Igbo women didn't start and won't stop till eternity because Igbo Amaka.

igbos are a special breed, of human race

Godons1:
Lies

Igbo people wey no even like themselves

an Igbo man will Ave empathy for others more than their follow, go and verify, you guys are just scared because you harbour so much hatred fir others thinking others are same as you

AdesegunSanni89:
Dele Momodu the Davido’s boy. An overfed glutton. This same Basterd that worshipped Abacha is now talking trash.

95%of Nigerians now will choose abacha 100 times over tinubu

Raxxye:
Lol. Chai!
So all Tiger nut sellers should register with the govt and get approval, abi?

Shame on agbado muric, shame on Nigeria

femi4:
Na hausa bikers, the victim na agbero that are siezing their bikes

ohh so they just killed an agboado terrorist and mesmerised his stupid corpes

Yoruba Muslims terrorist

Bendeco2020:
This one already talking out of point. I don't know if APC used your brain for sacrifice abi your village people. Always sound empty thinking he is a savage.

For how long will you continue like this?. Even tinubu or shetima's children don't waste their time online commenting on every topic against APC with incoherent statement.

If you check well, this guy is above 30 years. But some of them comment like under 18 just like one HungerBad in this forum till his death, i realised he's above 40.

you mean hungerbad is now dead

Jokerman:
He's a fool.


Who put Anioma with Biafra?

Don't try that... We are Niger Delta... Nothing concern is with Oduduwa, Arewa or Biafra 🙄

children shouldn't be talking in the mist of adults

My governor my abia
