Hmmm. This is very serious and all the Yoruba leaders must listen to them before these Yoruba youths take laws into their own hands.

Unfortunately, this is the fallout of the most toxic form of divisive tribal/religious campaign by Mr Obi and the uncouth Igbo online/real life mob of Mr Obi who curse, cyberbully, mock and criminally defame Yoruba and their elders/leader which is totally alien to Yoruba culture.

I respect the view of these Yoruba youths and I hold a different opinion once expressed here https://www.nairaland.com/7612989/lagos-guber-plight-igbo-law I got backlash from my fellow Yoruba who believe they have had enough.

I know that most Yoruba hawks do not want to hear or accept because they want the Igbo out and sent back to Igboland after the manner the Igbo hated, mocked and disrespected the Yoruba during the 2023 elections.

In my opinion, the SW states must collaborate by reciprocity. Your Igbo state of origin must have given same opportunity to Yoruba in their land before you can get any opportunity in Yorubaland.

Southwest states must give jobs , land cofo, political apoointments, admission, contracts etc to ONLY indigenes of states that have given same opportunities to the Yoruba living in their land.

Our resources and opportunities in Yorubaland are finite and the more others come in and are given, the more the Yoruba may likely resent such a system.

Only those states that can collaborate with us by reciprocity genuinely desire our progress.

If we do not do something fast about our all comers approach to opportunities in Lagos and SW that gained currency since 1999, there will be a more serious violent form of this current problem in the future.

States are subnational level of govt and their 1st priority is to their own people.States are not for all comers. It then means if you now want to give opportunities to Igbo, you need to give only to indigenes of SE states giving your indigenes and the Yoruba living on their land same opportunities. That is a sustainable way unless we want xenophobia in Yorubaland.

Since 1999, no single Igbo states has given a political appointment to Yoruba whereas a state like Kaduna has done so. We should collaborate by reciprocation with Kaduna by giving their indigenes jobs over indigenes of a SE state for justice, equity and fair play.

Igbo should not cheat Yoruba and Yoruba should not cheat Igbo.

How would you know? You've never been to another state, and you'll probably never go out of your state..

Comedian Oluwaseyitan Aletile, popularly known as Seyi Law, has expressed anger at the ongoing ‘Yoruba for Yoruba jobs’ protest in Southwest states.

Candidreporters.com gathered that Tonia Somaga, a graduate from Anambra State and a Labour Party, LP, supporter who drives one of the Lagos State blue rails, was called out by some residents, urging the Lagos State government to sack her, following her campaign for Peter Obi.

Reacting to the development in a tweet on Thursday, Seyi Law noted that the female train driver is an opportunity to preach peace and show that the All Progressives Congress, APC, is different.

Sharing a picture of a man with a ‘Yoruba Jobs for Yoruba People’ poster, Seyi Law described the trend as absolute madness, insisting he didn’t support the President-elect, Bola Tinubu, to see such a trend.

He wrote: “This is absolute madness. I did not support ASIWAJU to see these things. Are you saying even the companies owned by non-Yoruba should do the same, or just those owned by Yorubas? Either way, this is wrong, so let’s stop promoting rubbish in the name of anger.

“The train girl was an opportunity to preach peace and show we are different. I’m not belittling your anger, but we must learn to compromise for the collective peace we crave. You can respect your tribe without denigrating another. Please, let’s sheath our swords.

This is one of them I was talking about

You are not Yoruba Right from EndSars, I noticed that the resentment has grown more. Some of us are pushing for fair and sustainable relationship between the Yoruba and Igbo. Nobody should cheat each other. It is not sustainable when you keep your own jobs for your Igbo people alone and struggle with the Yoruba for the ones in their land, the way out is to reciprocate by giving them jobs in your Igboland too after all we are all Nigerians.

oga am a full blown Lagosian.. Your kind makes my skin crawl, am not a party to the idea that two wrongs makes a right.. Am a party to be the bigger person by been tolerant, respect others but don't take my mien for cowardice or timidity, because someone is eating shit does not mean you should join eating the shit.. If the people you are accusing are doing what you accuse them of doing.. Your love and kindness to kill the hate in their heart...

sta1:
Let's not forget that a significant amount of the wealth of Lagos derives from FG ALLOCATION deriving from oil revenue begotten OUTSIDE of Lagos, and from traders (who are significantly Igbo in ethnicity).

You are the most foolish human on the face of the Earth. How many Yorubas work in the oil company in the Niger Delta ?

Gajagojo:
what the hell is full blown Lagosian?
Are you Yoruba and where are you from

FreeStuffsNG:
You are not Yoruba. The Yoruba must not cheat the Igbo same way you Igbo should not cheat the Yoruba. Exchange jobs and opportunities so you can collaborate and grow together.

thank you for your thoughts and not been bothered, God bless those who are helped when in need... I work... My salary have not been paid since last week maybe because of the election, that's why am seeking help from anywhere any one to meet basic things, besides most of my People voted Labour Party in Plateau, I don't know what makes you think I am in support of any of the Parties, the naira crunch is affecting us all irrespective of who you support, nothing wrong in me asking for help.

You really think the Yoruba care? The only part you missed and still missed is the symbolism of Asiwaju Tinubu. He is a Yoruba leader. If you are raised to insult, ridicule and disgrace your elders and leaders,the Yoruba are not raised that way.
You are naive if you do not know that any Yoruba supporting you is ethnic baiting you.
You crossed the line of Yoruba society decency the moment you started mocking and insulting Asiwaju. There is an Asiwaju in every Yoruba family and they do not mock, insult, denigrate and criminally defame an Asiwaju in Yoruba.
It is the symbolism in that individual you hate that caused this problem and your ignorance caused it.
It is no longer about Bola Ahmed Tinubu, it is the Yoruba defending their culture and society so that we do not have a culture of young men and women insulting their elders and Leaders like you have in your own land.
You are completely naive! The average Yoruba does not really care about your biafra or whatever because it adds nothing directly to us. You crossed a line by bringing a despicable culture of insulting elders and the Yoruba frown at it.

Mindlog:
There are over 10,000 private schools in Lagos state.....combining the number of teaching staff in all those schools , it is more populated by non-Yorubas....I am imagining these schools be given directives to employ and have 90% of their teachers to be Yorubas!



North did same too and have developed rapidly, so rapidly that at present a child from Zamfara State only need score 2 marks to get admitted into a Federal government college while a child from Imo state who scores 132 is considered to have failed! But down the line, going by JAMB's admission record, Imo state continued its leadership of the chart in 2013 with 2,395 students admitted to study Medicine while during the same 2013. Zamfara had 117 students who got admitted to study Medicine.......Set awon rapid development isonu!
