Apart from Lagos state which has the imprints of Nigerian's diversity, show me another Yoruba city that can stand shoulder to shoulder with any city in the South East.
A child that has not been around will say his father's farm is bigger.
For the Igbos, travelling and migrating is purely business motivated, it doesn't mean the South East is not developed.
A good number of people in the South East are actually more urbanized than any part of Nigeria.

One of the reasons why I'm happy being a Yoruba is because we have developed our land to the extent that we hardly migrate in search of greener pastures. . We believe we can make it here in our land, we have systematically diversified our economy to the extent that we control every aspect of the Nigerian economy.. A yoruba man can't just leave his village and decides to go to Aba when people from Aba are here in the south west complaining how life is difficult over there. .. That's why i said we don't do Urban-Rural migration. .. We had the first television station in West Africa at Ibadan even before France had its own... Awolowo had the foresight to build industrial Estates in ikeja, we had the tallest building in West Africa then built with proceeds from the sales of cocoa. .

So tell me why we need to start migrating to igbo villages when we have all the things you guys dream of having

KemjikaEme:
Lol, unless you are claiming selective amnesia, you should n't be asking about Igbos contributions in Lagos.
It's self evident. Lagos was not built by any single ethnic group.

Lagos was built by yorubas... I have asked you this question so many times.. Tell us the contributions of igbos in lagos? Lagos generates huge chunk of it's IGR from PAYE not 2*2 corner shops

KemjikaEme:
Diversity of Lagos which everyone has contributed to.
Who blocked a Nincompoop like you from coming to the East?

Actually yorubas don't do Urban-Rural migration. So you can't expect us to go to where our tenants ran away from... Ngozi wey dey brothel for abeokuta sabi d reason why she comot village . But hausas staying in abakpa in Ebonyi State wants to contribute to the diversity but you guys said it's an abomination

Dainfamous:
Lagos was the former capital of Nigeria your oshogbo villages did not contributed towards the development of Lagos.My village elele has 18 oil wells that can feed the entire region but we don't use that to belittle Yoruba people,third mainland bridge all these infrastructure was built with oil money not skull mining,incests,badoo etc

Your village can feed the entire region and yet you decided to do rural-urban migration to the west to hawk gala?

Plenty people mad for nairaland sha

KemjikaEme:
Don't reduce it to hawking simply cos you are searching for a narrative to cover up your resentment for igbos.
A good number of architectural edifices, top hotels, estates and business establishments were they built by your Village people or Igbos? Lol.
Let the Alaba boys close down for a week,let see if Nigeria wouldn't close down forcefully.
No, i've not even started with the Educational sector, civil service and the educated igbos in Lagos.

Nope, I can't do without talking about what you guys do here in the south west... Hawking business is the largest business dominated by Igbos in South west.. So why should gala hawkers claim they developed lagos with their gala business?

Besides that, we don't want alaba boys to shut down instead we want those vermins littering our space completely out of our lands ..



Meanwhile I'm waiting for that your antecedents of igbos in pre and post independence era of lagos.. . list your contributions...

KemjikaEme:
First i will take that hypocrite is a new word you just discovered.
What if i call you a Nincompoop.
Ok,that's settled.
Do hausa people dominate abakpa and what significant influence and contribution have they made in abakpa and Ebonyi state?
Non natives can contest in any part of Nigeria where they dominate the members of the host communities and are equal contributors like the Igbos of Lagos.
Have you wondered why you wouldn't find an Igbo or Yoruba contesting in Yobe?
Simply because they don't have a strong presence and significant contributions to that region.
I am tired of explaining to a irredemable Nincompoop!

See, you are a fool.. How many times do you want me to tell you hausas dominate abakpa? Are you naturally daft or you just decided to be daft? You keep repeating the same questions even after the questions have been answered.


For the last time

Hausas dominate abakpa ward 1 in Ebonyi State and a certain alhaji Sanusi mohammed decided to contest for a councillorship seat in abakpa, your people responded by calling it an abomination and vowed to ensure he doesn't get there.

Dainfamous:
is this tallest building in VI Lagos own by Yoruba?why do you like to hate successful people like The igbos,you guys must be sad in real life full of hopelessness

Why should i envy people hawking gala in my land? Your girls leave your villages to come here to do ashawo, so why should i envy such people?

KemjikaEme:
Under normal circumstances an Igbo,Yoruba or Hausa that hawks and sell onions is not permitted to lead anyone.
Who are you going to lead?
The professors, teachers, graduates and civil servants that run the state, therefore Danladi that sells onions is not capable of leading anyone.
No, igbos didn't earn the right because they sell gala on the streets. Go back to pre and post indepedence and see the antecedants of learned Igbos in Lagos. Yimu!

No, you tell me the antecedents of igbos in pre and post independence era in lagos state... Lol. .. all these your lies no longer work... infact there's a myth bursting thread on nairaland... Your folks were shocked.... there is more to hawking of galas, love peddling work in which your people do here in lagos.

Huge chunk of lagos state's IGR is from PAYE... So tell me your contributions to lagos state that has earned you the right to contest

KemjikaEme:
Still unable to process information?
Lagos is melting pot of Nigerians,anyone from a significant group is capable of contesting and winning.
Abakiliki is not Lagos, it will be difficult for a Hausa to contest and win especially where they are no significant hausa communities like Igbos in Ojo and Festac.
It will equally be difficult for an Igbo or Yoruba to contest and win in Maidugari because i doubt there is a large concentration of Igbos/yoruba that dominate a single area.
Can you two take a break from tribalism and be a reasonable for once
Quite pathetic!
As for official appointments, there are educated non Igbos working in the civil service, schools and hospitals.
You two have the most parochial and deep seated resentments against igbos that has unfortunatel
y beclouded all senses of reasoning.

You are an hypocrite, first you said there's no place where non indigenes are dominant in the east,

After you were shown that of abakpa in Ebonyi State, then you switched to anybody contesting must have contributed something to its environment

Now you are claiming non indigenes can only contest in lagos and not abakaliki because lagos is the melting point of Nigerians.

KemjikaEme:
You will still claim you didn't insult anyone.
Like i have pointed above,there are factors that must be in place before such elective posts are given up to non natives.
The factors obtainable in Lagos does not exist in Ebonyi.
Show me Hausa men that has established chains of businesses, properties in Ebonyi like the Igbos (the average Hausa doesn't invest in Igbo land) and the yoruba hardly migrate) or individuals with the pedigree that Igbos have made in Lagos.
Of course,not every Hausa is a Shoe cobbler but apart from Hausa Corpers, the rest of them that migrate to Igbo land are hardly educated and can't take over leadership amongst people that are highly educated. Sorry!
I don't prefer Igbos contesting, rather, igbos are contesting because they have stamped their feets and left an undeniable imprint in Lagos. They earned the right to contest!
I have not heard of any Igbo contesting in Zamfara or Osun.
Think and stop writing nonesense!

You are very da*t, what are your contributions to lagos state? To you igbos have earned the right to contest in lagos just because the are the ones selling gala in agege but danladi that sells onions in afikpo hasn't earned the right even though he was born in afikpo?

List your contributions to the development of lagos. .

victorvezx:
You are a hypocrite. U prefer igbos contesting elections in other part of Nigeria, but u condemn an Hausa man for doing the same in the south east. An Hausa man recently contested for election in ebonyi, and almost every Igbo person was condemning and insulting him. That man was born and lived all his life in ebonyi state. I told u there is every possibility that there are towns and local government in ebonyi state that the Hausa have a significant population, especially in areas near benue state, so they have right to contest for election there, but even at that, u igbos will still condemn it. U are clearly an Igbo supremacist. To u, every Hausa man is a shoe shiner and cobbler, therefore they are useless politically, and every Igbo man is a supreme developer that deserves everything and must have control even where they clearly don't own.

You are just wasting your time with that guy.. . I already told him about the Hausa guy in Ebonyi State, showed him Facebook comments.. . The Hausa guy was born in abakpa but the KemjikaEme guy ignored it and kept asking if there's a huge percentage of hausas in any where in the east... But to him igbos are free to contest anywhere, free to get appointment anywhere

KemjikaEme:
Lmao! Wait for that time to come to taste the political relevance of Igbos in Ikorodu.

Well, my wish is that you guys get your potopoto Republic but before the actualization of ur dpotopoto Republic, it won't be a bad idea if alaba market is relocated to ikorodu... Well i trust ijebu people sha

KemjikaEme:
I just saw that others have given you similar responses yet you can't rise above your myopic opinion and sentiments against Igbos. Ask yourself this question, have you seen an Igbo contest elections in Sokoto state being fully aware that Igbos don't heavily dominate Sokoto irrespective of the fact that they may have viable sources of income.
An Igbo man is ultimately a better candiate for any political party where ever Igbos dominate.
Where in Igboland or Abakiliki do Hausas dominate or populate that will make a Hausa man an ideal candidate?
If you can't still relate then bigotry has taken over your sense of reasoning.

Lol, you guys love repeating questions that has already been answered.. .There's a huge percentage of hausas in nteje very close to afikpo.. even your brothers attested to this on nairaland...


But Like i said earlier, you are selectively blind

izzou:
We arent talking about who owns anywhere. We are talking about his people giving him a reasonable number of votes that can make him win. Igbos dont own Alaba, Ojo or Festac but they dwell heavily there. Na highest number of votes dey win, no be who get the place. Thats just my point

Yeah still same thing, even if you bring the entire Ebonyi State to come and vote for an igbo man in ikorodu, ijebu people will never allow it to stand .. . Bro I'm just being honest

KemjikaEme:
You can't compare Lagos, a melting pot of diverse Nigerian groups to Abakaliki wholly dominated by Igbo people.
I asked a question which would invariably point to the differences between Lagos and Abakilili but i 'm suprised you couldn't respond but chose to call me daft. You are not being civil.

Once again are Hausa people a majority group in Abakiliki like the Igbos of Lagos?
Do they dominate any part of Abakiliki like Igbos in Ojo lga and Festac?
Are they equal contributors in the affairs of Abakiliki?
You can't compare Lagos and Abakilili. Igbos presence, contribution and population in Lagos can't be overemphasized, can't say the same for the Hausa in Abakiliki!

You just want to be selectively blind. .. I have showed you the example of abakpa ward 1 in Ebonyi State where a certain alhaji Sanusi mohammed.. . besides having businesses, shops etc are not known to be part of electoral requirements for contesting a councillorship seat...

izzou:
Bros,I actually dont agree with you on this.

Remember it is only Lagos in the whole South west that experiences this. And it is not about seeing everyone as nigerians. Its about outsiders having a reasonable share of the population there. If you move them to Ikorodu and they still have a large number, its likely that they will still contest and maybe win.

Lagos has always been the land with so many opportunities and every body sees here as a place of hope. It maybe be difficult to curb this especially as we still remain Nigeria

See, if alaba market is relocated to ikorodu, then i can assure you that no igbo man will even bother to contest there... Ijebus owns ikorodu and they don't take shit... Infact they are less liberal sef

Afam4eva:
I won't argue with you about the emboldened because it's something you believe deeply without comparing the supposed accomodation to those of the other regions. Just because Yorubas are not going to the east enmasse does not mean that the east is less accommodating. It;s also pertinent to note that whenever people talk about the accommodating nature of Yorubas, a lot of times, they're referring to Lagos as everywhere else other than Lagos are one and the same. I like seeing things from people's vantage point to be able to come to a logical conclusion, so it will do a lot of good for you to lay our in bullet points why you think the SW is more accommodation. is it because there are more non-indegenes living there or what exactly?

Yes, we are not accommodating, amosun shouldn't have appointed a man from abia state to serve as permanent secretary. .

The Ogun state civil service should follow the foot steps of Abia state by sacking igbos in our civil service

Ijebu ode Catholic diocese should ensure they don't accept igbo priests in their diocese just like the accommodating people of mbaise who said they don't want a man from anambra state as bishop

Ralphdan:
No one gives a shit abt my opinion
We are still the ones selling gala, babies in the south west
If you don't like what i said then i will kill my father

Okay, that's much better

KemjikaEme:
Don't just quote me and write lies.
What are the lies? Point it out.
Is there any part of Igbo land as mixed up like Lagos?
Is there any local govt where Non Igbos outnumber Igbos?
Is there any part of Igboland where Non Igbos dominate and run things?
Have the non Igbos in Igbo land consciously blended with Igbos while picking up Igbo language and culture in the process?
Has any non Igbo shown an interest in villing for a post?
What are the lies?

Are you daft or what? Where were you in March 2017 when an hausa man born and bred in abakaliki was planning to contest for a councillorship seat, and your people here on nairaland called it an abomination

wristbangle:
I concur with you just that what comes to my mind now is the Igbo APC aspirant at Ojo and Amuwo Odofin will win because the votes would still come from the majority residing there who happens to be Igbo indigenes.

But you will agree with me that SW aside SS remains the most accommodating environment for you. Perhaps you can start lecturing your tribal lords to quit using hateful words on their host. It's not healthy for mutual relationship. The Internet would one day transcends to real life scenario.

FYI, check out the above post made by omofunaab2 and see the height of hatred spewed by your peeps.

See, bro.. I know most yorubas still want to be accommodating but the truth is we have to review that in regards to the igbos... The same people that called the country a zoo will remember we have a constitution that allows igbos to contest in any part of the country.

We will regret this nonsense bro, the other time an igbo man was elected into the lagos state house of assembly, he protested the usage of Yoruba language in the house and requested igbo language be included..

You see, we are doing all these at the risk of losing our pride and heritage.

Now these same igbos are the ones calling yorubas lazy people, lying that they own all the properties in Lagos, that they control lagos economy with their corner shops...


Are they the only tribe in lagos ?

Awolowo and Akintola saw all these in igbos hence that oloriburuku azikwe was chased out

KemjikaEme:
Lol, people are crying that non Igbos don't contest in the South East.
Lol! Under normal circumstances, Elective posts are open for any member of a given society but how can Non Igbos contest in the East when they don't reside in the East and hardly mix up with the indigends but rather prefer to stay aloof, behave like strangers and wouldn't even pick up Igbolanguage.
No one is stoping you all from contesting in the East may be when you migrate to the East and stamp your feet like the Igbos have done in Lagos then you can contest and win.
For now, the South East is a heavily populated by Igbos, the non Igbos are few and hardly show interest in political matters.
Ndi ara!

Lies

wristbangle:
Baba what of the recent political campaign of an Hausa man who wants to contest in Ebonyi and Anambra? We all know the hateful words spew by your fellow brothers/sisters at them.

Whether one lives in east will not attract a single vote from SE peeps even if the person is good. You know this bro.

You dey mind dem.. . We saw it here on nairaland, how these oloriburukus were saying it was an abomination despite the fact hausas populate that area in Ebonyi

[quote author=drake2000x post=58710390][/quote]Typical Oloriburuku omo yeeboe

Lol.. .. Clowns

This flat headed monkey took the development too far

Yoruba political leaders in lagos needs to stop this madness of allowing igbos to aspire in lagos whether chairman or vice chairman ... . I don't care if they populate festac or not.. just fill up the council seats with Yoruba, dats all.

Same igbos called it an abomination for an hausa man to vie for a councillorship seat in Ebonyi State....

Mbaise people in Imo state said a man from anambra can never be a bishop in ahiara diocese

Abia State sacked non-indigenes from their civil service.


I don't understand why we are still practising politics of inclusion in the south west... Enough of all these sophistication and accommodating nonsense jare...It doesn't stop them from hating yorubas

Lol

Na wa oooo

Okay

Lmao...

I think Malta should be added to the list of countries currently being developed by our brothers
