Poverty has made us so mad in this horrible entity. Chai!

Every Nigerian MUST take time and read this short article: Possible Strategies Tinubu Is Using To Pocket Nigeria As He Did Lagos or we'll soon have ourselves to blame.

Almost everything in that article is happening one after the other - like the MC Oluomo NURTW saga, this attempt to install his family and friends in key positions and more. If we fail to listen now, we'll surely regret it later on. Nigerians need to get up instead of complaining lazily everyday.

SonofLagos:

I am of the opinion that anyone that rules a place must be

1. Personally invested in the state by reason of time.
2. Understand the culture of the place and not seek to undermine, blend, or substitute another culture for some one Nigeria nonse*se. One Nigeria is a consequence of the union between federating states, it is not the originating factor. Loyalty to state and region is not at odds with one Nigeria. No one would care who scored the winning goal for Nigeria in a world cup final!

So, the governorship of Lagos state is the steward of its economy AND it's culture. Anyone that would be governor in any statemust meet this criteria. It is not one rule for Lagos and one rule for other states.

This idea of indigeneship on the basis of slave returnee is seriously flawed. It is an elitist mindset that Lagos has broken free of and should not return to. Let me explain.

While Lagos was a slave port. It represented a very tiny portion of slave "exports" Most of these slaves were captured upcountry in.places now known as Ondo, Osun, Ekiti, Oyo, and Ogun because these was where the tribal wars were taking place eg the Kiriji war within the Yoruba confederation. These captured slaves RETURNED to Lagos and claimed lagos as their state by reason of long habitation( nothing wrong with this) however many of these people brought a western or south America culture which was fused on local culture - eg Lagos carnival which is basically
Brazilian. These were ways they reminded the
homeland and it became part of their culture.

The colonial masters loved working with these people
because they went to church, spoke good English, raced horses and lived out western culture which was "civilized" and not "bush" like the others.

They promoted these people and kickstarted the
educated meritocracy. They ignored educated people like Funmi Ransome Kuti, leaders of the Market women's strike, the railworkers strike, the miner leaders at Ivie vally in the East and the leaders of the Aba wonens riots as rabble trousers, communists and
undesirable elements. Some of the national heroes
we have today are there simply because they were "righteously" westernized and no longer truly represented of the deep interests of indigenes including the right to develop and grow on the pathway of their culture instead of burning these boats in favour of western civilization.
There are exceptions such as J. Randle snr who fought
for the rights of lagosians until they fell into hand of
the more savvy one Nigeria politicians and the military.

So the idea of lagos indigeneship is murky which is
why the 2 tests are important. A lagos governor
cannot have dual state hood. He/she must be
committed to the economy and culture of Lagos over
every personal antecedent and every historical state of orign from their family history. He or she is not there to represent the values and culture of non lagosians under the guise of "one Nigeria". Lagos cannot be ruled by people that will not defend its interests over their family antecedents
and the voting public must be educated or re-
educated to understand the need for a 100%
commitment to the state; it's history, economy and culture. Iam unashamedly from Ekiti by the way, and though my father served in the Federal Govt from 1962-79 we never claimed Lagos indigeneship. We love Lagos but we cannot abrogate a history that we have traced back to 1815 in the region now known as Ekiti even though we have also have Nupe element by reason of ancestor marriage. To do so would alter our strengths and eventually collapse our history. Rewriting history is dangerous - it has to be 100% or as close as. Even the parts we may not like, because they are dark or unpleasant will eventually over time become important and valid lessons and warnings for future generations.

Long road for those who read.

nwirinedu:
Lagos Youth Owerri? Lagos is not Imo state, Seyi is not from Imo state.

Why are these criminally endowed youths causing mayhem in Lagos?

They should focus on their criminality ridden enclave called imo state, at least try to liberate it first.

PHIPEX:
Are they trying to do Ronu for Seyi Tinubu? Is it because Seyi will soon become "Shinedu"?

So 2 "Shinedu" will soon contest for Lagos seat in 2027.
One in LP and another in APC. This shows the futility of Ronus tribalism camouflaged as ethnic nationalism

Anither563:
This is very good. Lagos is a no go area for political tourists.
May God bless Lagos and the Federal Republic of Nigeria for ever!

Bobloco:
Between MC Oluomo and Seyi, who do you think will govern Lagos State better?

Don't forget, Lagos State is assumed to be the center of excellence.

Ttalk:
Let Owerri restructure IPOB leadership first. The power tussle of leadership between MNK and Simon Ekpa is destructive to the region

It is funny that this is coming from you people! The LP gubernatorial candidate Gbadebo Patrick Rhodes-Vivour is from Lagos state by origin, you people rejected him because he is in Peter Obi's party. Unfortunately LP is tribe more in west, Mimiko is from LP... What do you people want?
In 2027 if this Tinibu's son mandate flies, you people will still antagonize the Igbos if they didn't vote for him. In 2019 you people called the PDP candidate an Igbo man. He is an indigene of Lagos. The same mantra will be used in 2027.
