You know you are lying or you are just self-unaware.

I don't know why you so much need Yoruba to validate you.

Everyone knows that Yoruba don't have time for all of that.

It means you are half n half, that is if each of your parents are pure blood. And NO you shouldn't be able to contest anywhere except in dumbland because your loyalty and interests are divided. We are indigenous people with language and culture. This is why even Bible don't support marrying outside your ethnic groups, you are given a nation and language to protect for a reason.

We Yoruba are the most guilty of marrying outside our nation and the result is horrifying to the point of destruction. There are people who have 50%, 25%, 12.5% & even 0% Yoruba blood in them but claiming to be Yoruba when they are not but have more of other Nigerian blood in them. This is something young Yoruba are talking about now and try putting a stop to, it's becoming a curse with most evil in Yoruband are done by the so called mixed blood. At this point it's a traitorous idea for any Yoruba to marry Igbos, Fulani or other Yoruba's nemesis. We need to speak more about it and shun such weddings like I told a friend, if we all do our part and condemn and refuse to recognize such marriage, it will repair Yorubaland, they have done too much damage to Yorubaland.

I understand how everybody wants to be Yoruba to the point that we now have fake Yoruba, thanks but no thanks, we can no longer accept anyone mix with other Nigerian blood as Yoruba because you are not. A Yoruba-Nigerian is one with pure Yoruba blood parents.
Igbo men marry Yoruba ladies more than our own ladies. Go to Ibadan, Lagos and Ogun and make enquiries. Igbo men treat ur ladies very well and comfortable but reverse is always the case for Igbo girls marrying ur men. U are just being tribalistic . Why I don't like ur ladies is that majority of them don't like visiting their husbands village in SouthEast after marriage and they don't like having anything to do with their husbands people as well. IGBO people marry outsiders a lot. Why Igbo-Hausa marriage is rare is due to Islam which Hausa-Fulani joint tribe can never approve their daughters dating Igbo men talk more of marriage. Too bad!!!

You have the right to Contest as long as u r a Nigerian, but Your Igbo brothers wont let you, they will rather claim position in the North, and South West, but will be quick to condemn anyone not from their side seeking offi e..
Stop twisting fact.

What gives a child origin is paternity.

The guy is from Oyo State, Ibadan precisely.

Can Gov Akeredolu's son from Ondo State contest Imo State Governorship post because his Mother, Chief Mrs Betty Anyanwu-Akeredolu is from Imo State?

Our origin is same with our fathers. That's what gives us ancestral origin.

It's only married women that have right to dual citizenship in Politics according to the Constitution of Fed Republic of Nigeria. They have right to contest either in their paternal home or marital home. Wife of Gov Ganduje is nurturing ambition to contest Senate in Jigawa State. That's dual advantage reserved only for women.

My Mother is from Oji River LGA in Enugu State while my State of origin is Anambra, Awka precisely. Should I now leave my paternal root Awka and go and contest elective position in Enugu State

NO!
You can only contest in your father's state.

If you are woman and got married, you can contest both in your father's state and your husband's state.
Dual citizenship.

You are saying gibberish..... The constitution gave all Nigerians, the right to contest for any office as long as he/she meet all d requirement, which being a Nigerian is one irrespective of the gibberish u wrote up there.

You Igbo people are real bigots, you want to go to the North, and South West, and occupy offices, yet you are quick to bro g your tribal lenses when someone attempted the same..

You are not igbo. I will advice that the igbos fight against all these fakers representing them to other people.
At this stage igbos should be earning love not sowing hate if we start this argument we know how it’s going to end but to whose gain? What’s your stake in Lagos? Last time there was civil war you claimed your houses were seized and sold but you are here again claiming to be the biggest landlord and still beating drums of war. Is there any smart igbo man?
Back to your question. Do you know that Lagos state government has mandated Yoruba language in her schools? So much for your domination. Stop chest beating and dick measure contest. Life will be easier for you people. Why trying to be enemies to everybody? in coming years these hates will grow more, your kids will feel hostility. Learn from what’s happen to the Fulani in Nigeria today.

You don't understand a thing from my post, your comment shows it.

You are not Yoruba and your loyalty is divided even if you hate one of your parents. I know you are not ready to face the truth of your situation but I'll tell you that no serious tribe will put you in an important position. The Akeredolu you mentioned shows your state of mind as half n half(or quarter if your father is half Yoruba) No real Yoruba will see Akeredolu as a performing governor but how for do.

This is the future and the earlier you see it the better for you, If you don't have at least 75% Yoruba father and nursed a Yoruba breast milk, sorry my Igbo brother, you are not Yoruba but mixed.

Sorry, Bible promotes marriage among your kind to support one's own culture. The half, fake and plastic Yoruba in leadership position today is made possibe because of Yoruba's past of not looking before leaping and it's about to change.
When the Fulanis were busy raping your women and killing your men so as to take possession of your land in the south west for their cows to feed-How many full blooded Yoruba leaders stood up to fight and speak out against these menace( Ogun state to Oyo state? only the Late Odumakins(May God rest his soul) and his likes in the AFENEFERE Group have continued to speak up against these monsters (whom you young star have called all manner of printable names). Among the Governors, Only Akerodulu(whom you refer to has half blooded Yoruba becos he married an Igbo woman) was able to speak up against these Fulani menace. While Your so called Tinubu (who is a full blooded Yoruba man, is still busy licking Buhari ass and talking from both side of his mouth.
What about Osibanjo? That one is busy making himself busy running errands for Gods know who, when his region is burning and his people are being raped & killed left right and center.He has continued to remain silence on the topic till this day.
Do you know what loyalty is? Of cos not.For if you do, you wont be talking senselessly .Non of these your present so called leaders in the south west have any loyalty to thier people, except for a few, like courageous & ordinary men, like the Igbohos' (whom some of you money hungry youth are ready to betray for a pot of portage) .

America is what it is today becos they are ready to assimilate good brains into their system as long as they are ready to contribute to the development of thier country and call the country their own.
Your kind will be the first to post news of how a Yoruba man became the first Mayor in foreign land or how Joe Biden appointed a Nigerian in in his cabinet..A hypocrite you and some Nigerians are; but cannot stand someone that is link to your tribe by blood through his mother or father.What does that make a you? Certainly an ethnocentric sick & tribalistic bigot with nothing to offer to his community .

You are just like the disaster we have in Aso rock.Where has tribalism left you? Secondly, who are the people presently ruling your state ? Are they non Yorubas? Are they not full blooded Yorubas? Can you say they have the best interest of their people at heart? The only state working and moving forward is Lagos that is becos it is a melting ground where all tribes meet to hustle and in the process, making Lagos what it is today...So Oga, do away with this tribal nonsense and see how Nigeria will rejuvenate back to it old glory.

Most of them have lived there all their lives. How many Yorubas are living in SE?? Minus Agbo sellers, Fashion designers and Herbal dealers, you can never see any Yoruba across the 5 SE states in their large number. An average Yoruba blood will never travel beyond Ondo State for settlement.
