The argument is that the psychos will get guns illegally anyway.

Look at Nigeria. Robbers, Militants, Political Thugs, Kidnappers, Cultists, Herdsmen (!!) all have access to guns. What would have happened if we all had guns?

Will we have these killing sprees in Benue?

Just sayin.

Go and watch some old western movies and see for your self what a mess it would be. In such a world you would be constantly worried that a shoot out might break out over any slight disagreement.

LaudableXX:
Oh, so why were you chanting gleefully much earlier, that those Yoruba people would soon be in the minority, within Lagos state? Were you not the one that made these comments below? Why did you change your mind? Was it because someone debunked your fake stories earlier?

Yes the Yorubas a minority ethnic group will just sit back and let the demography change until they become a minority in Eko-Lagos.

I don't think there is much that can be done, it might take decades but ethnicity will mean less and less expecially in the urban areas. It's already happening, in other places too.

daywatcher:
You are right but its highly unlikely or even impossible Yorubaland, and by extension Nigeria, will get there anytime soon. Because, if an Igbo becomes governor of Eko-Lagos he or she will devote significant effort into relegating or promoting Igbo culture over Yoruba culture. For this reason and the foreseeable future a Yoruba man will always govern Eko-Lagos.

Yeah, but it's possible, if Lagos experience a change in ethnic demography, in other words if the Yoruba man gets outnumbered as more and more people migrate over the years, acquiring properties as well. After all, domination is a numbers thing.

LaudableXX:
I was using the word constituency, long before you learnt how to surf the internet.

When was that?

daywatcher:
Olukemi Olufunto Badenoch is the MP for Saffron Walden Constituency which is 95% white.

Do you need more examples to show that you are wrong

Chi Onwurah is the MP for Newcastle Constituency which is 88% white.

Chuka Umunna is the MP for Streatham Constituency which is 58.2% white.

Fiona Onasanya is the MP for Peterborough Constituency which is 70.9% white.

Kate Badenoch is the MP for Edmonton Constituency which is 64.7% white.

Indirectly it supports my original point, you may not need ethnic majority to get elected to political position in a democracy. I envisage an Igbo governor elect for Lagos State, after all it's not by ethnicity as pointed out by friend;

LaudableXX:
It just means the politicians articulated their programmes and campaigns well-enough, to attract people who cut across all races, to vote for them.

LaudableXX:
I was using the word constituency, long before you learnt how to surf the internet.

How come you couldn't decipher a simple sentence?

LaudableXX:
You are the one playing dumb. When you goof, you should apologise and seek enlightenment, but you are too dumb to do that. Someone has corrected you that not all the black politicians elected into the UK parliament, came from a predominantly black community. And you used your own keyboard to type the fact that the Yoruba people could become a minority in future, which was why you cited the UK example, to highlight what could happen in Lagos, in the near future. So why are you denying it?

Funny, at least you now know what a constituency mean. If I say constituency I don't mean the whole of UK. You have learned something from me.

LaudableXX:
You mentioned it in your previous post. Go back and read it, and stop denying what you said. Were you not the same one who said that black politicians won seats into the UK parliament, in your bid to draw an analogy with your story about those Yoruba people becoming a minority tribe in Lagos? Were you not the one who wrote this?

Pls don't play dumb with me, I wrote this;

"They were elected by their constituencies where black are majority."

LaudableXX:
You keep arguing a clueless point. The fact that those 7 Black politicians were elected into parliament, does NOT mean that black people were in the majority in the UK. It just means the politicians articulated their programmes and campaigns well-enough, to attract people who cut across all races, to vote for them. Or did you hear that only black people voted for those black politicians in the UK??

Your comprehension skills need some brush up, where did I mention black are majority in the UK? Or you don't understand what is the meaning of constituency.

To repeat my self, majority in their constituency are blacks and non-whites. To hold a position in a parliament you have to be voted in by your constituency. I hope you learnt something new today.

LaudableXX:
So which federal law exactly are you talking about? Cite it here, in chapter and verse. There was no mention of federal law, in my post that you quoted. Go back and read it again!

Jeez, you said and i quote "law passed by Lagos, it can only be abrogated by a court judgement, or repealed, suspended or modified by another law passed by the same Lagos state house of assembly." This statement is false because federal law supersedes state law.

LaudableXX:
Just listen to yourself. Lagos state is firmly within Yoruba land, and you are here saying that Yorubas influence things, because they are in the majority. Na who for do am, before?

So who do you expect to influence things within a state that is firmly located in Yoruba land? Is it the Tivs or the Kanuris? are you praying for those Yoruba people to become a minority within Lagos state? Which kind drink no gree make your eye clear, like dis?

Majority will always carry the vote, last year a total of seven Nigerians were elected into the UK parliament. They were elected by their constituencies where black are majority. If the present influx of other tribes continue, in the not so distant future the Yorubas will be outnumbered within Lagos, what do you think will happen then? Again, I don't care, just proving a point.

LaudableXX:
Guy, we were discussing the difference between federalism and disintegration, not the definition of federal law or if it was supreme, or not.

I replied to this statement;

LaudableXX:
As for the law passed by Lagos, it can only be abrogated by a court judgement, or repealed, suspended or modified by another law passed by the same Lagos state house of assembly.

LaudableXX:
Why are you so scared of claiming your great-grandfather's state of origin, that you want to die over Lagos? Na question I just dey ask, o! I have lived in Lagos for several years, but I have never ever had the urge to claim Lagos....and I get along really well with my Yoruba friends in the city.

Bros relax, I was trying to prove a point to those guys. I don't live in Lagos, I have spent no more than 6 months in Lagos my entire life.

Virginkpekus, you no go answer me now eh, what is kpekus? Do you have one? Is it edible? Can i touch it? Do you enjoy it?

I need answers!!!

td2tnkstr:
The question doesnt make sense to you because you are an hypocrite. I know igbos to be bloody hypocrites. You treat people badly but expect them to pet you and babyfeed you. Ironic! What doesnt make sense to me is your hypocrisy and sense of entitlement.


I never said it was a fact. I stated it because I have heard it countless times from trusted sources. Everyone cannot possibly be telling lies.

When ever you get caught in the bag your kind result to name calling, you didn't disappoint me. If you say Lagos is not my city then come and pursue me.

prettyangel10:
Waa she re jare. Thumbs up.

That is not all. Lagos is our ancestral land. Our possession, our heritage. No matter how many centuries you live here, you will always be seen as a visitor.
We can contest for gubernatorial position which is a dream you can never achieve.
Now you answer my own questions.
1. Do you or do you not have problems with your people treating others the direct opposite way you demand they treat you?
2. Why are you ashamed of your own ethnicity? Why are you ashamed to lay claims to Ana, Onitsha, Enugu and the rest? Afterall you all claim they are more developed than the southwest.
3. Why always coveting westerners possession? (which is a sin going by the bible)

First question makes no sense to me.

Second question, Lagos is a state in Nigeria, until you break away from Nigeria. Lagos is my City.

Third question, I never converted anyone's possession, everything I own I worked hard for it.

td2tnkstr:
.
You havent answered my question. Do you or do you not have problems with your people treating others the direct opposite way you demand they treat you? You are a bloody hypocrite.
I can't wait for ALL other states in the west to adopt this law. You have just started.

What is the question again? And please do not divert my point, which is since me and you have equal rights in Lagos, this city belongs to me as much as it belongs to you.

td2tnkstr:
Lagos is not your city. Stop trying hard. You are and will forever remain a visitor. The other day a yoruba man created a thread about wanting to be governor in Anambra and all your hateful kinsmen started swearing and screaming over their dead bodies. It was funny they fell for the bait because I see no reason why any sensible Yoruba will want to be live talkless of rule an eastern state. Only you easterners will jump at an opportunity to mingle with westerners. I assure you the feeling isnt mutual. Be proud of who you are. It is people like you who travel to foreign countries and start laying claim to benefits meant for indigenes only yet when they put you in your place you start crying about how they hate you because you are Igbo and they see you as a threat.

You have not answered the question, it's clear you are unable to, and keep diverting to other irrelevant issues.

prettyangel10:
You always lack comprehension. Or you were not taught comprehension in school? Must i spoon feed you? Go back and read the post you quoted. Or maybe you remove the spec in your eyes so you would be able to see well.

Alailarojinle.

That ositadima1 can never be Yoruba, is this you answer? Pls, we both know you are smarter than this.

Let me ask you again, what is it that you can do that I can't in Lagos.

What gives you an edge over me, like I said majority, there are more Yorubas in Lagos than any other tribe, that's all.

bakynes:
I know when it comes to Yoruba affairs to you we all have equal rights but when it comes to Igbo affairs,it is for Igbo alone. What happened to the Hausa man that wanted to be a Councilor in Ebonyi do you remember?

Please I don't have time to argue back and forth.

If such happened, I would say it's illegal, not backed by law.

td2tnkstr:
Does the same apply to others in your region? When your people refuse to sell land to yorubas because of they commited the crime of being Yoruba, do you have any issue with it? When they spew hatred towards us, do you react to it? When they call Lagos no man's land, do you call them to order? Quit being an hypocrite and be proud of your ethnicity. State of origin means where you originated from so even if all your amcestors were born in Lagos, DNA will always reveal who the legitimates are and who the illegitimates are so stop deceiving yourself.

What is this? as far as we are all citizens of an entity called Nigeria, we have equal right where ever we may find our self's.

prettyangel10:
Your name is ositadimma, And ositadinma can never and will never be a name in d Yoruba book of records, lai lai faabada.

See if you can't accept d Law, go back to your state. it's not a must you die in Lagos. And yet we r not forcing you.

Ok, you are not able to mention one thing.

So I can conclude that Lagos is my City, because I live in it, legally. Also, that whether your ancestry was Igbo or Yoruba does not matter.

Ok, baby, I hope we are on same page now.

bakynes:
The only way you can claim Lagos as your state of Origin is only if you change your name to a Yoruba name. Even if your greatest grandfather was born in Lagos so far you are Igbo and bear Igbo names you cannot claim Lagos as your state of Origin. Be proud of your state.

You don't get it do you, it's not a matter of being proud of my state. Nigeria is a country, we are all citizens with equal rights.

bakynes:
She can aspire to be a Governor in Lagos can you aspire to be one?

Yes nah, we practice democracy, if I have enough people backing me, why not?

prettyangel10:
That's y majority dislikes you people, you are always too proud to accept defeat, if it's something that you will benefit from, it's welcomed by you and if you wont. benefit from it, they are trying to sideline your tribe,

Can you hear yourself out, that I didn't counter you, you can continue to argue from now till eternity, you can't and will never be a Lagosian because you ain't one in d first instance.

For your info,, you better start developing your state too,, so you and your generation can have something to lay claim to in d future.

LAGOS STATE CAN NEVER BE YOUR STATE. ADMIT IT.

Pls tell me one thing you can do that I can't in this Lagos, I can own property and have Yoruba tenants who must fullfil their rent if they want to keep occupying​ my rental property.

If you can't name one single thing, then you agree with me and let's end this matter, baby.

bakynes:
See this guy oh! Which majority are you talking about, Lagos is ancestral to Yoruba's we didn't not displace another tribe or race to take over Lagos.

This isn't about majority population, It is our ancestral land passed on to us by our forefathers. Even if the entire SE migrate to Lagos it wouldn't change anything. Don't forget the State of Origin still stands.

Except of course you are ready to cause genocide on the entire Yoruba tribe to take over Lagos.

Bros, what is state of Origin? If my great grandpa was born in Lagos including all his discendants up to me, why wouldn't I claim Lagos as my state of Origin?

prettyangel10:
My dear, to be sincere with you, I didnt read most of his posts again as I see he is wallowing in his delusion mind. That's y you see me replying him just like dat.

That's not true, your have pride, but I like girls with huge egos. I know

prettyangel10:
Fact that I left you to your fate does not mean I accept your stand.

The fact that you never countered my stand mean you agree with me, it's your pride now. You know you couldn't even if you wanted to, you can silently thank me, don't need to type anything.

prettyangel10:
Lol. Continue. It's Yoruba tho. Deal with that.

So you have accepted, finally.

Thank you, anytime!!!
