Igbos Living In Lagos Are Lagosians, United Kingdom Insists by ajibadeolusesan(m): 7:44am On Mar 27, 2023 |
The United Kingdom has said the growth in Lagos will be retarded if non-indigenes are not seen as Lagosians, insisting that ethnic profiling should not be accepted in any part of the country. Non-indigenes especially the Igbos complained about attacks on them by some political thugs suspected to be Yorubas during the last Governorship elections in Lagos. The attacks were fueled by the belief of some non-indigenes who claim that Lagos is ‘no-man’s land’. However, British Deputy High Commissioner in Nigeria, Ben Llewellyn-Jones, in an interview with Nigeria Info FM, said the strength and beauty of Lagos are in its blend of culture and religion and should be recognised as a cosmopolitan city, and condemned the ethnic profiling of a particular ethnic group before and during the just-concluded governorship and state assembly elections. “If you live in London, you are a Londoner, a British-Pakistan is a Londoner. The British Prime Minister lives in London. My boss, the British foreign secretary is clearly British-Sierra Leonean and lives in London, they are Londoners. “Why is it that people who pay taxes, who work, who provide teachers, who built businesses, who create jobs, who live in Lagos, who happen to be from a different ethnicity to some other people are not Lagosians? ‘’Of course, they are. The strength of Lagos is its diversity, and if Lagos can’t be that kind of cosmopolitan melting pot of culture and language and all the things it should be, then really how is Lagos going to succeed? “People chanting anti-Igbo messages and walking on the streets by polling units on elections day are totally unacceptable. Not just in Lagos, but also in Enugu and Rivers where we had our teams as well and many other places.

fourboys:You and land sha.Yes,Hausa,Igbo,Tiv etc are Lagosians as long as they respect their brethren and hosts. Remember,you cannot buy land in non ancestral region to you,the land is on lease to you for a few years.If you have C of O,you are lucky to have it for 99 years. You buy what you take home and own permanently. |

I believe everybody should stay on their lane and mind their own business. I want to see how the Federal Government want to build pipelines from East to the West. Everybody eyes are on our gas deposit. I once warned about the armies of the Unknown Gun Men . All Igbo living in the west and north should better start coming home. Your refusal to shift ur businesses back home will be regarded as damage control that is necessary. Be warned. 1 Like |

It's really joyful to watch how this madness has received global attention. The Nigerian tribe with highest number in UK are the Yorubas. And nobody has ever treated them with disdain like this. The entire world can see how Tinubu Urchins have made the Yoruba race #1 hypocrites in the world. At the end of the day, the will be the one to lose. Mark this. |
