Bitter truth is; full blooded Lagosians are very very few.
Those fighting over Lagos state is majorly from Osun, Ogun, Ekiti and so on

smokinloud:
No, we don't see you as foreigners you are one Nigeria but you don't belong to the Yoruba nation. Do you?!.

CruelDove:
Lagos belongs to the Yorubas and I don't give a donkey-honkey about what the UK thinks about that.

mortalincarnate:
Then what’s this implies

spy24:
Lagos belongs to any Nigerian that lives and work there and there's nothing you gonna do about it.

All this ona bragado na just matter of time.

Opolopoopolonio:
Nonsense!

Nigeria is no more a British colony.

We shall adapt out own democracy to our peculiarities.

Nigeria is a country not a nation!!

CruelDove:
@Stolenmandate

Someone is looking for you up there

ajibadeolusesan:
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.

helinues:
Can't this people just return to their Eldorado once and for all and never come back?

You people should stop acting like noisy neighbors jare

fourboys:
As long as I obey the law.. bought my land legally. I don't give a fvck what mc oluomo says

smokinloud:
...that Nigeria is a state of many Nations and that Igbos don't share same nationality as Yoruba

onumadu:
Too late
The damage has been done.
The only way to restore the trust is to recover the stolen mandate.

Putinofrussia:
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.

kingthreat:
For now, we don't want Igbo votes shift the politics of Yoruba land. Next elections if you insist to vote in Lagos and vote against the wishes of the Yoruba people, it will be worse. Go to your erosion-ridden village and vote. The president is a Yoruba man, incase you think you can do gragra.

CruelDove:
Lagos belongs to the Yorubas and I don't give a donkey-honkey about what the UK thinks about that.

But your people has make UK their second home.
Stupid people

NaijaSumigan:
We can't keep talking without action. Our actions must start by ensuring the dubious electoral candidates don't come to power.

Let's begin from Tinubu. May 29th must not happen

jaymichael:
CofO that can even be revoked for overriding public interest.

Nwodosis:
As if you are an indigenous Lagosian.

omowolewa:
UK is correct

emerged01:
Very correct but they are always quick to let the world know that you are not londoner when you commit a crime. Calling you londoner doesnt mean you cant be deported when overstep your boundary. UK has its own problem too.

cktheluckyman:
Is that what you think? You are in for a surprise.The Okota scenario will be replicated in several parts of Lagos in future elections especially presidential.

You guys are known to be cowards
