You are excitingly happy that the great and successful Yoruba people are marrying your dames.We have not even married up to one thousand and you are jumping up
I would be happy too if it was me.
Mind you,we marry our own curvy,beautiful dames in millions because of the intelligence and success genes in them.
All other tribes are by the way.
We like varieties.We are the tribe who has married whites more than any other because our guys and babes are the bomb!

No worry very soon your kings Will be half Igbo !

God bless my Igbo neigbours. Nobody is telling them to go back to their villages. Nobody is destroying their Establishment or demolishing their Houses under the pretence that they did not abide by the building plans.

Our Igbo brothers are the true Definition of one Nigeria when such does not exist in the minds of those who hate & jealous them.

God bless all Igbos anywhere they are & give my SS people the wisdom to know who their real brothers & enemies are

You didn't show where any yoruba want to be your governor or senator etc like u do in Lagos

Your story and the history you are referring to are lies. Your tribe is known for being deceitful, and you are only saying this to cover up your lies. If you are so confident, refer to any old news or history book that supports your claims. You people always play the victim, no Yoruba man has ever referred to Lagos as no man’s land. Your tribe is known for twisting words and giving them different meanings.

Irony1:


You know the funny thing, the statement was made in Igbo so how did Yorubas decoded that it was a no man's land that was what he meant. Also note that Lateef Jakande said it clearly in his inauguration speech in 1979 that Lagos is a no man's land.

I was alive when Alhaji Abdulateef Jakande became the Governor of Lagos State in 1979 alongside his Deputy Governor Alhaji Rafiu Jafojo. Indeed [while Jaja Wachuku was the FIRST to make that no-man's-land comment in 1947 at Glover Hall, Lagos Island], Jakande made reference to that phrase to refer to Lagos Island which was the former administrative capital of the British Nigeria from 1914 to 1960, but even at that, there was a backlash by some Lagos Island indigenes as to why the speech writer included that phrase in Jakande's inaugural speech because the historical context in which it was used was wrong. The British Colonialists in the historical archives refered to Lagos Island as a territory that is indigenous to the Yoruba natives. This is one of the reasons why Lord Lugard wanted Kaduna to be the administrative capital of a unified Nigeria from 1914, but the British Home Government overuled him and chose Lagos Island instead. All these are recorded in the British Colonial archives.

The second-term inaugural speech of Governor Abdulateef Jakande in 1983 focused on the specifics, devoid of the use of any controversial phrases.


In addition to the earlier EVIDENCE I gave directly here:
https://guardian.ng/opinion/which-lagos-is-a-no-mans-land/

Below is more of the EVIDENCE from Wikipedia stating that Jaja Wachuku FIRST made the speech in 1947 right on Lagos Island soil:

Jaja Wachuku was the FIRST person to refer to Lagos as a “no-man’s land” in 1947, provoking a national controversy. He was a favoured lecturer at the Glover Memorial Hall, Lagos. There, in one of his lectures, Wachuku provoked national controversy when he declared Lagos a “no-man’s land” – meaning that it was an all-Nigerian city – wherein all Nigerians were entitled to equal rights (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaja_Wachuku)

You are quoting Wikipedia that anyone can edit, bros cool down. The said day Jaja made the speech it was in Igbo so I am asking how did Yorubas come to interprete it as no man's land? Oga it was Jakande that said No man's land in his speech.

Just hear yourself.
Are you saying that there are no Yoruba that understand Igbo language?

All I know is that the real economic opportunity is in the east, and they are growing.
In the next decade or two, everybody would be migrating to the east for job and business opportunities.
Even the blind can see this.
Of course smart Yorubas saw it and have been quietly making hay in the east for years, while the dumb ones make noise in the west.

I've always known not all Igbos are not tribalists. It is just sad the few bad folks amongst them are making the rest of the world see all of them as intolerant.

Polygamy is frowned at in my religion else would have taken an Igbo chick as a 2nd wife.

I learnt their yellow girls have hairy chest and bushy but very juicy sweetpot. That turns me on

Nobody would hound them because they know and observe their boundaries when it comes to politics. They have not attempted to upstage the leadership of where they are seeking economic refuge by promoting an Igbo hater to be the governor of Anambra state.

They have not expressed Anambra as no man's land and they have not claimed the ownership of a place where they are refugees.

I advise you to prepare your will before embarking on the journey. Feeble minds believe anything thrust at them, including cheap propaganda like this.

Those who don't travel think life starts and ends in Lagos.

Ironically, most of these people invaded Lagos from Ogun and Kwara. If you come to Lagos state and you'll notice that the most vocals are those ogun people who became Lagosian due to boundary adjustment and the invaders from Kwara, Ogun, and Oyo. You'll hardly see people from Ekiti and Ondo constituting nuisance in lagos.

flat head how is that your business? Is Lagos in Biafra land? Those state are in yoruba land so as Lagos…. We are one in Sw and we don’t practice your primitive Osu caste system
I as an aborigine of Lagos can go and claim ekiti because here artificial boundary don’t separate us so mind your business. I know you pained Lagos can never be in alaibo it belongs to Yoruba. Get that in your flat head😊

Sleekfingers:



How about the Yoruba living in Kano., .kaduna, Rivers, Edo, Akwa Ibom.
The Yoruba have invested hugely in Edo state. Go and ask that ugly obaseki.
If you have been to Kaduna and kano you won't say this mumuric statement.
Why would a Yoruba man invest in an erosion infested and a potopoto region? When our region is full of huge potential and ability to attract investors. Apart from Lagos. Oyo and Ogun state alone is enough.

don’t mind those fools. I laugh anytime they make that statement, maybe they think we are fools. I have been to the SE before during my one year mandatory service, I can tell you for free,that Se is a hostile and unproductive place….they have the highest number of internal migration but you will hear them change narratives like” Ibos are explorers , they say that just to cover the inadequacies of their leaders in developing their cursed region and be chest beating about development other peoples land… I have never seen such level of stupidity. So I will leave a progressive environment to a retrogressive place ? The trend of japa from east to west says it all

Can you stop all this goal shifting and subtle gaslighting. The person who started calling Lagos a No Man's land was Lateef Jakande a Yoruba man. And again what do you mean by Political interest, so are you saying all Yorubas must vote APC in Lagos? Come I really don't get you guys, so it is a crime for igbos to vote for whom they want to vote. Who told you that All Yorubas in Lagos want to vote APC that you can say it is their political interest? Madam you are too big for this display of foolishness. Just hide your faces in shame at the level of bigotry you guys are showing. Igbos don't care who you are in the east

If Yorubas in south east had displayed those shenanigans you lots displayed during the election with insults and bold interference in south east politics I'm sure you lots can never stomach it, you are too insecure to allow that, that's why you kill and maim each other, imagine what you will do to Yoruba who go against the popular opinion of igbo while living in your land. You can not take one tenth of what you dish out to others, just like the insult you directed at me in your post up there, inferiority complex will make anyone an animal

This is what we are saying, spewing gibberish without thought, can those Yoruba in the south east say this? And have you ever been to Ilorin, who told you it's not a Yoruba land, go to Ilorin and see how developed it is. You are crying more than the bereaved. Your lack of manners is hurting you already and will continue to hurt you, I only pity the many sensible igbo.
