legal practitioner and social critic, Inibehe Effiong has reacted to claims by some persons that Igbos would want to take over Lagos from the Yorubas.

Effiong questioned the sanity of those making the claims, wondering if they would use the military to forcefully chase out the Yorubas from Lagos.

His statement is contained in a post via his verified Twitter handle on Monday.

Recall that ahead of the March 11 gubernatorial election, some politicians in the State had alleged that Igbos planned to take over Lagos through the Labour Party, LP.

One of them, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Femi Fani-Kayode, said his party would not allow the Labour Party, LP, governorship candidate in Lagos State, Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, hand over the state to Igbos.

Fani-Kayode claimed that Yorubas and Igbos were subjected to torture in the Southeast during the presidential election.

In a series of tweets, the politician also claimed some Igbos were killed in the Southeast for voting for Bola Tinubu.

However, Effiong described the claim as a silly propaganda, insisting that God gave human brains to reason well.

He wrote, “How will the Igbos take over? Will the Igbos use the military to chase out the Yorubas from Lagos? Will they forcefully take over people’s lands and businesses? Will they sack traditional rulers in Lagos? God gave us brains to enable us reason. Stop parroting silly propaganda.

I've traveled the length & breadth of this country and I can authoritatively say that the Yorubas are the most accommodating and hospitable tribe in the sub Sahara Africa. This gesture shouldn't be taken for granted.

They're regarded as being sophisticated because they don't give room to pettiness and parochialism which is common among most Africa tribes.

Tinubu urchins are the most wicked fools I've ever seen in my life

Aufbauh:

I hope God gave you brain to think

You are not in war with anybody

The candidate of LP is a Yoruba man

Don't let politicians set fire that will burn everyone when they will be in Europe.

What are you insinuating kid?
Do i sounds or write like one of your generational peers?
I'm not even a Yoruba man nor live in Lagos at the moment even though I can't deny the fact that I've benefitted from the magnanimity of that great tribe.

Next time try to read in between the lines to discern who you're mentioning.
I don't really blame you cos many of you on this platform lately are kids and uninformed.

This is a Yoruba man contesting under LP in Abia State and he is likely to win because LP is a party to beat

A new Governor emerges

IGBOS ARE FAST, CROOKED AND SMART.
THEY ARE BUYING HOUSES EVERYWHERE IN THE FEDERATION PARTICULARLY IN EVERY CAPITAL CITIES IN THE NE, NW, NC, SW, SS, LAGOS, KADUNA, LOKOJA, PORT HARCOURT ETCETERA ETCETERA. WHAT THE FULANI HERDSMEN AND MACBAN COULDN'T ACHIEVE BY TERRORISM THE IGBOS ARE ACHIEVING THEM BY BUSINESS.

You have never travelled Oga. Stop all these attitude. Tell me some reasons you think Yorubas are more accomodating than Igbos.

Most times, you guys chose propaganda and peddling of lies to deceive the gullible.

That is how some of you would say Igbos don't sell lands to non indegenes. With all the estate companies now littered all over Igboland. Chai. You mean estate companies would refuse to sell lands to you because you are non Igbo? Most times you guys refuse to buy lands in Igbo land for a reason best known to you. And you turn back to accuse them of not selling to you. Which estate agents does not want to make money? Is it not money you will pay?

You are afraid of Igbos taking over your land, you are afraid of allowing them have BIAFRA. You are afraid of letting them be president. You are practically afraid of anything about them. That to me is simply a FEAR factor. Same fear of them holding you back from exploring opportunities abode their place.

Whatever. Thank God I don't beg to eat. But I advice you stop telling lies or repeating an established lies about any tribe. Yorubas are accomodating. Igbos are accomodating too.
In every tribe, there are the good, the bad, the ugly. Don't ever think because there are more Igbos in your place is an indication you are more accomodating.

The Igbos simply travel to find opportunities.

KUDOS TO THIS MAN.

How can Igbos Take over Lagos or any SW States?

Do they have LGA Chairmen or any Traditional rulers?😕

I have Told Nairaland Yorubas, that they give themselves Unnecessary Headache and HBP ontop this Igbo Matter! 😒

An IgboMan's Mindset is NOT TO STAY IN LAGOS TILL OLD AGE but mostly on Gathering Wealth
and going back to his Hometown to build Mansion and do Show-off!


Nplfmod, plz!
