I expect Yorubas to be in support of this so that Igbos can free Lagos for them. But I'm surprised that some of them are hating again.

As long as Igbos are forced to gather in Lagos because of the ports, the city will remain choked up.

You know Igbos are aggressive capitalists, so you will always struggle against them and when you're outsmarted, it breeds envy and hate.

Nothing concern Yorubas in the matters.

Take the suggestions to your State Governments,they can do it if they so desire.

Ondo State have just started the process of building their own Seaport.

Lagos State via PPP built the Lekki Deep-sea Port and about to start the Badagry Deep Seaport.


Akwa-Ibom State have started building Ibaka Deepsea Port for over 10 years now (it seems to have turned to a White Elephant project).

proeast:
All the ports that were built in Nigeria were dredged. But some of those in the SE, particularly Oseakwa and Oguta in Anambra and Imo states respectively requires very minimal dredging because they're naturally deep. Even if they're to be dredged like others in Nigeria, they will cost less since it's only a mere 18 nautical miles to the Atlantic ocean which is far shorter than Lagos at 50 nautical miles, Onne 60 nautical miles and Ibaka 30 nautical miles.

I hope you get the point now?

So you sincerely believe that a Port in Lagos which borders the Atlantic Ocean can be 60 nautical miles from the Ocean and a Port in hinterland Imo State can be 25 miles from the same Atlantic Ocean?

Ijaw land in Ondo

Name the town in Ijawland in Ondo State that crude oil is being drilled and extracted.

Zupay:
"One irritant during this election was the complaint that many students from the Benin and Delta provinces at the University College Ibadan were so mistrusted by Action group operatives on campus that their names were surreptitiously removed from voters’ registration lists in Ibadan".
.......So no be today this rònú nonsense begin!😊😊😊

You propaganda showed your ignorance.

The University College, Ibadan was a Long distant college of the University of London during during the Action Group Administration and was NEVER under the control of Western Regional Government.

The matriculation, administration, staffing and even the DEGREES AWARDED were all done by the University of London.

Most of the Lecturers and the Principal (the VC was at the Headquarters in London) were White men.

Then he should marry Niyola as his second wife.

I don't tolerate adultery and abortion.

SangoOlukosoOba:
Gibberish!


The school has verified his attendance, what other verification do these lots need?

Accepted! The certificate is fake, but the school has verified his attendance.

So what’s the case here? That he forged the certificate that he earned?

Baseless accusations!

That was NOT Tinubu's certificate.

He simply listed his qualifications and didn't submit any certificate because he said he house were buggled and looted during the Military era.

David Hundeyin created a scenerio to scandalized Tinubu and reacting to it himself to entertain his Obidents fans

Magnoliaa:
I don't know this man before, and I have never followed any of his cases, but with the way people tout him, I want to believe he's highly revered. And I've even refrained from saying anything about him or any of the counsels, but with what I just read above and seeing how people are calling him all sort of names on this thread ehn.

E nor get anybody wey dey linked to Tinubu in some ways that will not use poopoo and smear body.

Like Wole Soyinka, like Wole Olanipekun. 😅😅😅😅


Because, see logic now. Do people stop being the citizens of their country because their passports are expired?

Nawa o.

You are too ignorant of the issues

DMerciful:
You dont need witness if INEC certified copies show you won. You just need to show that INEC did very poor addition

How did Peter Obi knew he 'won'? Was it Amadiorah that revealed it to him?


Every political party received Official Results of the elections at the levels of Polling Units and collation centres which they ought to tender.

What is really happening in Osun State?

The State is already blessed to be poor.
From Gbongan to Yakooyo to Ilesha, Erinmo,Iperando, Ipetu to ERIN-IJESHA used to be rice Belt in the 1970s.

These Glory can be brought back if we have committed and visionary leadership.

The development of Osun State should NOT be tied to the meagre resources provided from Federal Allocation.

nadisms:
Probably you dont understand the impact of this relocation.

That church attracts thousands of people daily,which also affects lagos state revenues,because those people will sleep in hotels and patronise some businesses in lagos. At the end, these businesses will have enough money to pay tax to the government. A lot of his followers from different part of the world always throng his ministry on a daily basis.

Anywhere that Ebuka obi relocates to , would result in increase and massive development in that area..the reason why he doesnt want to mention the place because if he do, with 30million naira,you may not be able to buy a land there..

He knows what he is saying....

There have been massive influx of SEeasterners to east recently with strong financial and infrastructural dev ongoin, which I have clearly noticed.

A lot is going behind the background....

God will spare our lives and you will be here in 2027, when we will discuss that Pastor Ebuka never relocated from Lagos to Aba or Onitsha.

AntiMarxist:
Okoros just showing they have no leverage whatsoever in Nigeria .

They need Nigeria and not the other way round.


If they are serious , let them recall all their Amakas and Chiomas from all the brothels and see if Lagosians won't riot against LASG.

You get bad mouth!

plaindealer:
I love the new vigor and proud resurgence of the Yoruba language and speakers, it's taking over our landscape, it's almost the unofficial Nigerian language, it's the dominant language in social cultural and entertainment scene.

If you don't speak or understand Yoruba, you better go and learn because it's your future..

This statement is very wrong and insensitive to other Non-Yoruba Nigerians.

Nigeria is a Nation in emergence. Different peoples dominate different aspects our National Life.

In the Military and Bureau De Change Business, Hausa is the dominant language.

In the entertainment and cultural aspects, Yoruba language is widely spoken.

In the Trading and SMEs sector, the Igbo people dominate but it seems they don't encourage speaking their language to other or like the idea of other Nigerians understanding their language, they prefer to use Pidgin English.

mrvitalis:
Obi won the election its so clear but we know the tribunal would likely rule what they want to rule

Yes they can but their name and integrity would be gone for good they have to openly show bias to achieve their aim

Can yakubu come tomorrow and talk about integrity n anyone take him seriously? No he is even scared to appear for any interview

How about wike? Hi

Let them do what they want but their name would be damaged for life

How did Obi win?

NONE of his seven witnesses was at the polling unit or collation centre to give first hand eye witness accounts or provided alternative results which showed the votes scored by Peter Obi which was ahead of the other candidates

Shame! What is the purpose of a woman dancing seductively and making the husbands of other women to be having illicit erections?

The Tea- Pickers should come together and start their own Tea Plantations that will employ them and not have anything to do with machines.

ganisucks:
I hate to discuss things that are not peripheral, but in this case I'll make an exception. I hope you know that what you just posted is actually not in your favour. If two states could produce 18,000 blurred result sheets, how many would the other 34 states produce. It's 1...2...3 elementary.

Honestly, most of these Obidents are NOT intelligent.



Where did you see 18,000 blurred results sheets? What is the total polling Units in these two States that they will have 'Blurred results sheets' from 18,000 units?



Blurred Images on IreV is NOT the same thing as 'Blurred Results sheets'

Quality of the images depended on these who captured the images and the focusing power of the lens of the camera. All these does NOT affect the hardcopies.



Did the testimony of the Professor as being discussed here in anyway relate to this?

senatordave1:
Worst case is a partial rerun in 18000 units

This will NOT happen, the Tribunal will rule based on the Provisions of the Laws.

The blurred images on the IREV is just what it is images, poorly captured...they are NOT valid grounds for nullification of the elections in those units.

Akwamkpuruamu:
So you didn't no that rerun was captured in inec budget?

Re-run is only conducted IF there is no clear-cut winner and it is for Num-1 and Num-2 parties.

There won't be any re-run because the APC met all the criteria for victory.

Christistruth03:
The Problem is that they completely don't allow others such powers in their own States
and Lagos is Yorubaland

If they have rejected Bianca Ojukwu who is from ordinary Enugu that is right next to Anambra how are they going to accept a Yoruba or Fulani Governor ?

This is the problem! Non-indigenes can NOT exercise such rights in their States, so this will make it look unbalanced

T8ksy:
@ bolded.............Yeah, you are quite right in your assertion but one thing is sure, yorubas will never concede an inch of her territory to some immigrants from the never risen sun.

Moreover, all other groups in the country are watching
how igbos are dragging lagos with the yorubas. No group , especially the minority groups will want to have any thing to do with them as it's certain that, the igbos will simply dominate them even in their own backyard.

I mean, if igbos can be this serious about extending their sphere of influence to a major state like Yorubas' lagos, then who among the minority groups can stop them from "colonising" their region, too.

Actually, there is nothing bad if Igbos want to be Governor or hold political posts in Lagos since we are one country with the doctrine of equality of citizens. However, it will become problematic if this concept is only applicable in one direction.

However, if non-Igbos can't exercise similar rights in Igbo States, then it will look like invasion & colonization of Lagos.


The minority tribes in the defunct Eastern Region rejected Biafra (in which Igbo will be the only majority tribe) because they understand this phenomenon earlier and better.

kettykin:
Why was Kano not a former capital of Nigeria

That is not the reason.

Although, Kano is fairly Cosmopolitan and there are many non-indigenes that have succeeded politically in Kano but the Political Climate in Kano is not favourable for Igbos to participate in the Politics of the State.

Non-indigenes with similar cultural values and common Islamic Heritage that have accepted and imbibed the Culture of Kano are allowed to participate and rise in the politics of Kano.
For instance, the Late Alh Barkin Zuwo (Nupe) and Sen Ibrahim Shekarau (Barbur) became Senators and Governors in Kano despite being non-indigenes because they have 'naturalized' as Kano people.


Tanko Yakassai and Sani Abacha are proud Kano men despite being 'non- indigenes' whose sons contested for Governorship of Kano.

nnamdi640:
All this your long story doesn't show that you really care about the indigene of the state, because of really you do, you would been fighting for it long time ago but rather you waited till now.

1) The time you wake up is your morning- Yoruba Proverb.



2) The best time to plant a tree was 20years ago, the next best time is NOW- Chinese Proverb.

Christistruth03:
Very Believable
But it is wrong to drag someone else's Ancestral Heritage like this one here below

It is not as if they really hate Yorubas per see, all these are means to an end- POWER.

It all boils down to competition for power.


The Igbos in Lagos also want to exercise powers in the State like being able to become Governors, Commissioners, Senators ,Reps and all the privileges that come with it just as the Yorubas have been doing since.

As more people invest in the Gas Sub-sector, the prices will crash further.

The same thing will eventually happen to Petrol if only we can be patient enough.

If more key players go into Refinery, Storage, Distribution and Marketing of Petroleum products, the prices of Petrol, Kerosene, Diesel , Aviation oil and Butumen will crash further.

nnamdi640:
That is your problem, you are acting as if it is only Lagos such things are happening, what about Bayelsa where the major revenue of the country is coming from, how many things did fg did for them after collecting their land for crude oil drilling. Don't used stupid excuse to forcefully collect land sold out by thesame people your are defending. The other day I went to Epe, for something which I won't disclose, in my present one of the Baale of Epe came to settle a dispute based on him selling large size of a particular land to a person and part of the land he sold entered into another person land so they have to call him to settle it

1) LASG policy doesn't involve the FG, they aren't asking for more allocations.

2) Bayelsa State is free to implement whatever laws and policies they deem fit to protect their people. The FG already made lots of concession to them e.g 13% Derivatives, NDDC, Ministry of Niger Delta Affairs, Presidential Amnesty Programs, Corporate Social Responbilities of IOC etc

3) The Lands used to build the National Stadium, Gowon Estate,FESTAC, Jakande Estate, National Theatre etc were acquired from the indigenous peoples by Gov't and don't involve you or your tribe, so I don't know why you are wailing over it.

4) The LASG sending her indigenes abroad to acquire further competitive skills or giving them grants to buy shares of companies to drive the State forward doesn't affect you in any negative way.

5) Whatever issues you or anyone has with any Baale should be sorted out in courts.


6) Every State in Nigeria is already blessed beyond description.
The negative energy you expend on fighting over Lagos should be used to discover the potentials of State and transform them into wealth and development.

OFCOZ I KNO OF 3PPLE

JT Tom West was my favourite actors twenty years ago! May his soul rest in peace

IkeIgboNiile:
Because those lazy fvckers can't maintain the properties they took from the igbos.

Same thing will to lagos, if they continue on this path. Non wealth creators can't manage wealth.

Why this almost constant and predictable phenomenon that all threads on Nairaland and now Tweeter must always end up with Igbos?

Igbos build Lagos, Igbos develop Port Harcourt, Igbos control the economy of Abuja, They are jealous of Igbos, other Nigerians are lazy, dirty and depend on Government except Igbo, 'They hate Igbos', Only Igbos are Wealth Creators,Igbos are in this and that State, They want to demolish these houses because the owners are Igbos, the law/policy is targeted at Igbos bla bla bla.


Must you involve your tribe in every discussion?

nnamdi640:
I won't be surprise if this places you are talking about are dominated by Yorubas because as of the time those estates were set up the non indigene then we're not so much interested except for non indigene that came from that same south west.

Oga rest.

Whether they are dominated by Yoruba, Togolese or Ebira, does it negate the fact that the indigenes of these towns/villages should not be denied the right to laying claims to their ancestral lands like all other Nigerians?

Does it stop their children from getting LASG scholarships and employment?

Does it stop LASG from sponsoring their descendants abroad to acquire modern skills in AI, ICT, Aviation ,STEM and other areas to be better equipped to compete in the ever changing World?

Canada, USA and Australia have special 'packages' for the indigenous peoples, what is bad if LASG took into the plights of the indigenes of the State?
