If u want one Nigeria, let Igbo man Elect Yorubas in House of rep, senator and governorship in the east

Then we can Consider.....

Igbo man won't allow another tribe rule in their states but they want to rule in other lands.... They will even Insult you
Who stops you from contesting in the southeast.Have tried and someone stops you or you are just assuming that you will not be allowed to contest there.

Calling Lagos a no-mans land is disrespectful, bigoted and insensitive. It is clearly a statement of hate. We can all live peacefully with one another. However, we all need to be respectful of the plurality of Nigeria.



How is calling Lagos a no-mans land disrespectful?

BTW, is there any Yoruba man , Igbo man or Hausa man that was born with any land in Nigeria.

Bigotry and tribalism are the biggest problems of Nigeria. While other nations are empowering creative youths from anywhere among them to take over their leadership, we are fighting over who owns Lagos and Anambra state.

The military did a lot to unite Nigeria. They made sucessive Igbo and Hausa men the governors of Lagos and other SW states. They also made many northerners governors in SE and vice versa.

The idea was to make Nigerians realise that all the 36 states are no man's land where any Nigerian can live , do business and contest for political position

Unfortunately, corrupt politicians like Onanuga have destroy this effort. They have urinates tribalism and bigotry into the mouths of our youths. That is the reason Nigeria is presently a shithole and will remain a shithole until we regard all nigerians as one and elect leaders base on competence and not base on tribalism.

Onne port is worse than Lagos port. I have people there too. Tell the government to give the region a seaport. This will be better and save everybody the stress of other people encroaching their space and land. Onne is not Igbo land and they don't speak Igbo. When did Monday sit at home start? A region is being terrorised and the government is not doing anything to help the people. Do you expect the people to fight armed terrorist group? Na wa

Igboland is landlocked.

Landlocked places don't have seaports - you need to liase with your neighbours (who don't liky you guys as well due to your covetousness) forfunctioning seaports and build roads/rails for transportation.

Oh that is the origin of chinedu. But he's still a Yoruba man tho from Lagos state gan gan. There is a lot of inter-tribal marriages going on. Does this mean that children that are half Yoruba are bastards? Why do we allow politicians to keep using our heads?
ifihearam:


What you do not understand is Religion and Tribalism will always be the driving force of Nigeria's elections. Hence obi never visited a mosque but only churches. he visited Igbo dominated areas in lagos for campaign.

When LP won lagos in the presidential election, some saw it as another avenue to topple lagos state..if LP fielded another candidate it would not be a problem, but digging from, the GBV's past he has been tormenting and against the yoruba..he was in PDP and contested using chinedu in his name he was perceived as an Igbo in disguise.

We do not have issues with our neighbours...the point is simple. If you do not want One Nigeria, let all of us go our separate ways...we and our neighbours will discuss how we will live together. No tribe in Nigeria can conquer any part of Niger Delta without the backing of the Federal governmen, even with that, it will be difficult.

Igbos are not the problem of yorubas also, if not, Osun, Ekiti and Ondo won't be poor..igbos are not many in those places. Situate your problem appropriately.

Exactly our point...
This should be the last time igbos will put their mouth in an affair like Lagos gubernatorial election..

They can aspire for senate and house of rep but when it comes to lagos governorship , they should mind their business..

If any Yoruba candidate comes to Igbos for endorsement, let them tell him to go and get his tribe endorsement.. Igbos should only align with whoever the majority of the tribe agree with...

Igbo should mind their business in Lagos... Hausa don't meddle into yoruba issue like igbos do...

I repeat:

House of Rep - Igbos are allowed
Senate - Allowed
Governor - Banned till Jesus comes and even if Jesus comes, igbos are not allowed.

What is so special about the Governorship seat of Lagos? Two igbomen have occupied that seat in the past.

I know of a young man, Ayodele, from a Yoruba background. He was born in Enugu and have lived in Enugu for over 30 years. He speaks Igbo but struggles to speak Yoruba. He knows the entire SE region but has once been to the SW hence he knows nowhere in SW.

I also know of a young man, Uche, who was born in Lagos. He has lived for 35 years in Lagos, speaks Yoruba and even marry a Yoruba lady. He has never been to SE where his parents migrated from.

Now if Ayodele in Enugu decides to contest for Governor of Enugu, Bigots like you in Enugu will ban him from doing so. If Uche decides to contest for Governor of Lagos, bigots like you in Lagos will go on rampage and attack the igbos in Lagos.

Who really cursed Nigeria? If an educated youth like you who have friends from different tribes can write what you wrote then there is no hope for Nigeria.

Not exactly. Lagos was originally Eko, a trading post established by the Benin Kingdom. Before then it was probably a fishing outpost for Aworis and the Eguns from Badagry. The Portuguese came and made it their main trading post and thus renamed it Lagos. The British took over, made it their slave post on the way to Badagry which was the main slave port. During colonization, the British made it their administrative capital, they actually attempted to set up a colony in Lagos. That's why almost all roads, buildings and infrastructures on Lagos was named after British Royals and amniniststrors until they began to change them fairly recently.
Beforw independence the status Lagos was contentious. The Yorubas wanted Lagos handed over to Western Nigeria, the others opposed and demanded it to be defined as belonging to all Nigerians, aka no man's land. At the end of the day, Lagos was defined as belonging to all Nigerians, and the post independent capital remained there. Please note that the capital of western nigeria remained in Ibadan. The road that leads from Lagos to Western Nigeria was named Western Avenue.
In 1967 General Gowon created 12 states with Lagos State as one of them. He then joined Ikorodu, Epe, Badagry, Ikeja, etc, from western nigeria into Lagos.
Then the migrations started. Yorubas from all over the former Western Region migrated to Lagod. Igbos who lost everything during the civil war faced Lagos. Even northerners from all over former northern nigeria started migrating to Lagos.
Today Lagos has become overpopulated and under tremendous social problems. Everyone now wants to claim Lagos now. If something is not done to decongest Lagos by developing other urban centres even in Yoruba land, Lagos will literallyexplode.t

No, Eko already had settlements with fishermen and hunters before Benin got there. And Benin got to Lagos with the Itsekiris after their war against the Mahin (Ilaje) - in search of the Mahin leader. Eguns are part of the larger Aja people that can be found in Benin (the country) and Togo and I doubt they were anywhere in Eko at this point in history.

Also, the Portuguese didn't make Eko their main trading post - the Portuguese trading was in Victoria Island which was given to them by the Ijebu and the Portuguese name for it was: Lago De Curamo. Lago De Curamo was corrupted by the Brits - to Lagos - after their arrival. The Brits went with the Portuguese name for their trading post and decided to call the whole place Lagos.

Okay.... I can now truly see that you are a people who don't want to hear the truth.

Moreover, which Igbos can you kill world wide?
Stop encouraging yourselves with what is greater than you. This same threat happened in the north in the 1980s and by 1988 , the Igbos cleared doubts there. Now everyone coexists peacefully.

Don't wake peaceful sleeping LIONS. I assure you that you will not like what you will see.

Never call a peaceful person a fool!

Whether you like it or not, Igbos and other ethnic groups are major political stakeholders in Lagos. Major decisions can't be taken without putting them into consideration. For those of you asking if a Yoruba man can vie for office in the East, the Yoruba man should first leave SW, live among the Igbos, make impact then contest. The Igbos came to your land and are successful, you sef try commot from SW, go and try your luck elsewhere and stop complaining about Igbo dominance.

Why don’t you go to their region to contest for HOA and see if they would vote for you?

Everybody should stay in their region abeg, these people don’t respect boundaries.
When you give them a foot, they wanna take a mile.
So it’s better to avoid any familiarity in the first place.

Not just by mouth. We must put a plan that can be executed rapidly within a year in place. This should include revoking C of Os in choice locations across the state and reallocating them. Choice locations should only be owned by the Yorubas - igbos can be tenants there if they choose to or relocate to their erosion ravaged land in SE.

It is also high time we rebuilt Ladipo and Alaba markets and give them a befitting facelift. How can we have a market like Ladipo in that terrible state in the middle of Lagos? It should be demolished immediately, and a 5-year plan put together to rebuild it.
