Lagos Guber: You Want One Nigeria, Yet You Want Igbos To Leave Lagos - Aloy Ejimakor

Aloy Ejimakor, a Nigerian lawyer has condemned the hostility meted out to Igbos in Lagos by other Nigerians who claim they want a united Nigeria, IGBERETV reports.

Ejimakor wrote on his Twitter handle;

"Obama, a Kenyan became US President; Kenyans didn’t takeover US. Sunak, an Indian is UK PM; Indians didn’t takeover UK. But if Gbadebo, a Yoruba wins Lagos guber, Igbos will takeover Lagos because he’s married to an Igbo. So, you want Igbos to leave Lagos.

One Nigeria, ahoy!"

We really need help in this country.

Too bad

Seeing Igbos and Yorubas fighting each other makes me sick, there's division everywhere in Nigeria today, even among minorities

Tribalism is a big problem in Nigeria, we still have a long way to go, nigerians still vote along ethnic and religious lines

This is why I like Rwanda

I thank God for giving me a good heart not to hate anyone, forget my political affiliation

Yoruba is the most Tribalistic ethnic group in the history of Nigeria.

They want Igbos to go, yet they want One Nigeria.

What type of Tribe is this

Irrespective of what the politicians plant on the vulnerable minds, no one can send anybody out of any state!


No one!

You cannot be an immigrant in your country, no matter how politicians successfully twist your head. You can only be an immigrant in a foreign country. So get it right, or get it wrong...it's your business. Every tribe can be found in any state and every tribe must live everywhere.

Your emotions are your personal businesses.

Thie£fnubu urchins are just brainless bigots

Tribal Gang, Tribal Gang

If una no want one Nigeria, why una no fit just sit down, and divide in PEACE

One Nigeria, bet you say, "this TRIBE man must go back to his VILLAGE"

shoooo

If you talk say make this person go back their village, then be BOLD ENOUGH TO SUPPORT A DATE FOR REFERNDUM

We will not use INEC ooo, because their bVAS, get AS e be

When is the date for National referendum

#REFERENDUM

You don't go to a man's house and start telling him his household is a no man's land. If you do that he has every right to walk you out. If you want to be respected in a foreign land, you first have to respect yourself and behave respectfully. And if someday the throne manages to get to you for one reason or the other, you still should never forget your place and the need to remain humble to your hosts.

Blame Nnamdi Azikiwe

*OBAFEMI AWOLOWO ASKED FOR SECESSION CLAUSE TO BE INCLUDED IN THE CONSTITUTION, THE NORTH SUPPORTED THE MOTION, BUT I IGNORANTLY OPPOSED AND THE BRITISH (HYPOCRITICALLY) SUPPORTED MY ARGUMENT*

An Interview granted by Nnamdi Azkiwe in 1975.

*Read and learn..*

"Nnamdi Azikiwe stated that... When the 1954 constitution conference started, my good friend, Chief Obafemi Awolowo tabled a motion to the effect that in the new constitution, provision should be made that any state which feels like seceding should do so. I was opposed to it and said ‘no’ and said that once we have a federation, we are indivisible and perpetual.

That was when we began to use that expression – ‘The Indivisibility and perpetuity of the federation’ – and that to secede would amount to treason. And so, a debate ensued.

The Secretary of State then was Oliver Littleton, later Lord Chandos and he was very much interested and that was his first time in saying that the people of African descent were people actually debating at a high level.

So a full day was given to Chief Awolowo to make his points. He spoke brilliantly as a lawyer. He made his points why secession should be incorporated in the constitution. He cited the case of the Soviet Union which is a federation, and that secession is written there so that any state in the Soviet Union can secede at will. He also cited the case of Western Australia and eventually he finished his case and was applauded.

Lord Chandos said that on the face of the arguments before him it would be suicidal to incorporate secession in our constitution and that is why we have section 86 in our constitution that if any region or state should secede, then it will be an act of treason

We adjourned. The next day, I had to reply. I availed myself of the opportunity to, well, demolish the arguments of my friend and I cited the case of United States which based its constitution on that of the Swiss Confederation. That is Switzerland. I pointed out a case, I think, that of Texas versus White, where Mr. Salmon Chase, the Chief Justice laid down the principle – he was really an arbiter – that the union was intended to be perpetual and indivisible and that any attempt to divide the union by secession was treasonable.

The North (NPC) supported Action Group. The question was then: Should we have secession? *"The Colonial Office came to our rescue. YOU KNOW THE USUAL PRINCIPLE OF BRITAIN – ‘ *DIVIDED AND RULE'* (laughs) but this time, it was in our favour. So, the colonial office backed us."

Lord Chandos said that on the face of the arguments before him it would be suicidal to incorporate secession in our constitution and that is why we have section 86.... ."

What type of Tribe is this

A northerner has this to say.

It'd have been a great thing if actually Nigeria can be united, but as it stands, I strongly doubt with the ways things are going...

You are calling peoples identity and heritage as 'no mans land' and expect open teeth.

You are singing drums of war and dont expect war.

Are u stupid or just playing stupid?!!! What sort of disrespectful tribe is this??!!!

.

I don forget i bin wan talk because of hunger.

Make I go beg garri drink first, I will come back and comment later...

No one is actually asking the igbo's to vacate Lagos, it's just that some of them are ingrat.es, their businesses can't even flourish in their hometowns not until they move to the West but still they're ungrateful stylishly saying Lagos isn't for yoruba's

Them carry Toto swear for me

They are hypocrites

Them forget Igbo's contribute at least 34% of the nations GDP

With one Nigeria, only Igbos determine who is Governor in Igbo states, and do not even entertain any external influences.

Peter Obi wondered what Nasir el-Rufai of the then newly formed APC was doing in Anambra state to monitor elections for his party and candidate, Ngige.

Peter Obi said even if APC wanted to monitor elections, they could have appointed an Anambra person or at least an Igbo/SouthEasterner within APC to monitor the Anambra election.

Yet these Igbos with this clannish mentality that does not even accommodate fellow Igbos, want to have a say in Lagos affairs?

Interim Deputy National Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Malam Nasir el-Rufai, was yesterday in Awka prevented from moving out of his hotel room to monitor the Anambra governorship election.

el-Rufai told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) at the ‘Finotel Hotel’ where he lodged that some armed men of the State Security Service (SSS) restrained him from moving out of the hotel to monitor the election.

He said:“I arrived in Awka by 7 p.m. on Friday and had a brief session with the APC candidate, Sen. Chris Ngige. When I came out to have my dinner, I saw three heavily armed SSS officers at the hotel.

“I asked them why they were following me; they told me that they were protecting me because Awka is not safe.

“I told them that I came with my own security. This morning, as I was about to have breakfast, they blocked the corridor and tried to restrain me from going out but I pushed by and went to the restaurant to eat.

“After my breakfast, I will be going to the APC Situation Room in town to monitor the election. I am being unlawfully detained here,’’ he said.

NAN reports that at this point, one of the SSS men entered the restaurant and confiscated the reporter’s tape recorder and deleted the recorded interview before returning it to her.

When contacted on telephone, the Director of SSS in the state, Mr. A.U. Okeiyi, confirmed the report, saying that el-Rufai was being protected.

“el-Rufai is not an ordinary person. If anything happens to him, they will blame the security,’’ he said.

Heavily armed security men were seen guarding the premises of the hotel.

Anambra State Governor, Peter Obi, reacted angrily to the development.

He said the former minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) had no business in Anambra State on the day of election.

The governor said genuinely accredited observers are not hindered by anybody.

“Accredited observers are moving around freely. But I am not sure el-Rufai was accredited by INEC as an observer.

“Like I said before, he has no business or any reason to be in Anambra at this time. All he is doing is dragging the name of Anambra in the mud.

“I can’t go to Katsina and monitor a governorship election. This is a federation. Even if he belongs to a particular party, the party has chieftains in this state and people of the southeast extraction.

“People should know that we have one country and we must build it for our children. el- Rufai has no reason to be in Anambra State.

“Quote me anywhere. I can’t go to Katsina State or Kano or where ever he may come from and go and monitor elections there. He should stay there”.

A northerner has this to say.

You and the northerner are mad

This is obsession.

It is official, Igbos are obsessed with the Yorubaland of Lagos.

I honestly hate when politicians makes some foolish ones divide us. Yorubas and Ibos have healthy relationship but politicians always find a way to divide us.

God1000:
Too bad

Seeing Igbos and Yorubas fighting each other makes me sick, there's division everywhere in Nigeria today, even among minorities

We still have a long way to go in Nigeria.

When Nigerians relate personally with each other you may not really discover how tribalistic they are.
But when they deal with themselves in their collective tribe, you'd see the level of hate Nigeria is sunk into.
One Nigeria? omo all of us know say na only for mouth.

That is the madness being exhibited by tribally condemned urchin

Why is everyone in Nigeria behaving like stone-age animals?

I can understand that Brushstrokes20 is an animal.
