I actually don't have a problem with non natives involving themselves with politics in Lagos and I am sure lots of people don't.

The Ndigbo HOR guy absolutely spoilt it for everyone else. Was it so difficult to at least spread the cake, not just including Ndi Yoruba who own the place, but across Ndi South South and Ndi Hausa too?

Now you have awakened the natives who will send you packing from your post and ensure an Ndi Yoruba, no matter how poor they are to you, take over.

Kai, Nigerians. We must sha show that we lack sense when it comes to long term gain over short term gain.

Opposition is making the same mistake they made in 2023.

In the beginning of this year, we thought they learned from their mistake but somehow, they allowed emotions, ego and personal interest to cloud their judgement.

This is what Tinubu wants

In other words…. “ if I must destroy 20 political parties I will “

Oga why can’t you just focus and form your own political party?? And then contest 20 times and still lose 20 times

Thundafireseun:
This life belongs to serious people…..

A man who cannot stand and fight for what he believes is not fit to be a president of Nigeria….

I will rather vote Ameachi or Atiku for President than vote for Ada Obi

NwOSU, leave Cho Cho Cho and give us the data that shows ibos migrated to Lagos in 1920?😂🤣🤣🤣 what a clown……he won claim Lagos indigene, wetin do your almighty anamabla?una go cry tire😂😂😂

SonOfDSoil01:
😂😂😂muuumu leave Cho Cho Cho and give us historical data with verifiable link to your claim that ibo migrated to Lagos in 1920?

You clowns will just come on the internet and start making false claims just to suit your false narrative……just like I said earlier ibo number in Lagos are so insignificant to deciding who wins Lagos despite your acclaimed population and they are just about 10% of Lagos total population and that’s why Chinedu lost the governship election

And lastly to your last paragraph……lagos is an industrial state which host a lot of manufacturing companies majorly owned by Yorubas and multinationals who pay huge taxes to government and also create employment…..this is where most of lagos revenue and taxes come from and not your 2*2 shop or petty trade business…..the seaport are used by this industries to bring in raw materials and also exports goods and also they service other landlocked neighbouring countries and stop living in delusion that without you clowns, the seaport will not function or give us statistics to your flawed narrative that you traders account for the highest user of the seaport? 😂😂😂

NwOSU, talk is cheap and anyone can come on the internet to claim anything but without data of prove to back up your claim, they are just empty noise…..Lagos is Yorubaland and their is no local govt in Lagos where ibo or any group out number the Yorubas and the political and traditional power is still determined by yorubas so you can tell this lies to the marine because no one is buy them btw proudly lagos

lawani:
Respond with logic. I will like you to actually make your point.
There is nothing and there has never been anything special about Lagos or Kano, Jos, PH and ettc. However there is no need to be making wild claims. If you want a reliable estimate of the ethnic composition of Lagos residents then sponsor the research I described. PH, Jos, Enugu, Owerri, Kaduna etc did not exist before the British but it is Lagos that fought a war with the British that is special?

SonOfDSoil01:
😂😂😂😂🤣😂

Pain is that you? I must really have struck a nerve…..see long epistles wrapped in false gibberish 😂😂😂🤣🤣pls can you provide us with historical data with verifiable link to your clan that ibo migrated to Lagos in 1920?

You can tell you that lies to the marines😂😂😂 Lagos as long been existed before Nigeria and even before we made contact with the Ibos……we don’t even share border and your region is kilometre away from Lagos and Yorubaland yet you laying claims to a false propaganda probably sold to you on radio biafla 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

NwOSU, the only privilege you are enjoying in Lagos is one Nigeria…..I’m a bonafide indigene of Lagos from Lagos, my both paternal grandparents are from Lagos, my grandfather is a saro from lagos island of the egba clan while my grandmother is Egun from badagry, so no be you go Dey tell me my history, so get your fact right before coming to SM to display your ignorance

Lagos is Yorubaland and the constitution only recognise state of origin and not citizenship or residence so your number of years spent in Lagos or anywhere still don’t confer you the status of an indigene so don’t be delusional and yes ibo have a significant population in Lagos after the Yorubas but their number is still insignificant to who wins Lagos that’s why Chinedu lost and obi won because Yoruba Christian in Lagos voted as the Muslim/Muslim ticket of Tinubu but the dynamix have change and mistake will be corrected in 2027….btw proudly Lagos

lawani:
Igbos in Lagos are not more than Hausas in population and they don't have as much economic input as Hausas who bring in cattle, foodstuffs and etc. It is only that Hausa is different from Igbo in how they approach issues. Other southerners not Yoruba outnumber Igbos in Lagos and if only Igbo vote for Igbo in Lagos, they will not be able to win anything. There might have been a time that Igbo were many in Lagos and that would be the time they did not have big cities like in the 1970s but not now anymore when they have Enugu, Owerri, Onitsha, Awka etc
What you need to do is to join the campaign for Lagos to have it's correct and fair share of seats at the center then you will be right to say it should be a free for all. Lagos should have over 50 house of rep seats and it would then be fair for every Tom, Dick and Harry to contest but if not, it means the Yoruba and Lagos indigenes are being cheated or short changed. I hope you understand. Any representation that the SE has, Lagos should be given 120 percent of it as that is what all available data say is fair.

Then don't isolate Lagos as being built by Nigerians, other states were built by Nigerians as well. If you talk about oil money then Yoruba is taking less than it puts in

lawani:
99 percent of Lagos elective posts are won by the Yoruba and during the governorship, this constituency in question was won by the APC, so you don't need a soothsayer to know that there is no local government in Lagos where the Yoruba are not a majority. So because one percent of Lagos posts was won by an Igbo now means Igbos and Yorubas are on an equal footing in Lagos?

ultraviolet27:
so why were your people crying about tinubu filling all his tribes men in political posts since you didn't vote for him(Tinubu) too?you think say una dey wise!what is good for the geese is also good for the gander!

banku:
Igbo migrated to Lagos in the 1920s! Name them.

Here we go again with Igbotic stat. that encouraged Obi to go to Alaba Market to thank Igbo that made up the majority of Lagosians.

He woke up Lagosians and Labor lost the rest of the Election as Chinedu for Governor.

Una nor dey hia word.

lawani:
There is no local government outside Igbo land talk less of a federal constituency where Igbo is up to half of the population resident there

SonOfDSoil01:
what a clown……who carried out the census? The only place and local govt that are predominantly ibo are in your 5plot region, no where in Lagos will you find that……Lagos is Yorubaland and nothing will ever change that…..this rep member just scored an own goal…….let see how your acclaimed numbers will bring him back in 2027

SmartPolician:
This is bullcrap and false!

Rest in peace sir, at least there something good to remember you for

Ibadanfarmroad:
how on earth are igbos majority in oshodi/isolo? The igbos there are not even up to 10 percent. If its inclusivity why are there no edo, Hausa etc on his list ?

biggie73:
....you referenced their affiliations, while ignoring their struggles and inputs.

givedemwotowoto:
This is pure undiluted truth.

People keep playing this fantasy football where Tinubu retains all his 8.7 million voters despite the very bad shape the country is in, even those who voted for him just because Buhari told them to.

But somehow in their fantasy game, Obi has lost supporters, someone who hasn’t insulted a single person, and has done nothing but good and charity and continue to build bridges across the country since the 2023 election.
