You no dey shame?

When last did a true son of Lagos (a true omoluabi) become governor of Lagos state?

And you still get mouth to talk.

Son of Lagos my foot
grin Mumu man how is that the business of an economic migrant from faraway poto poto land? We don’t practice that primitive Osu caste system here grin that’s why we are Miles ahead of you cavemen grin

The liberal nature of Yorubas is why your type can migrate to obodo ragos and make it your second home grin the same reason why your blodas can win a election in Lagos and also appointments in state civil service grin

But that can’t be said about you primitive village savage, an ebonyi man cant even breathe in peace in anambala talkless of winning an election grin that’s the difference between Yorubas and you savages grin

BreconHills:
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.
Your long epistle makes sense from the beginning but you digressed it at the middle. There is nothing called Lagos indigene, Lagos is a Yorubaland. 95 percent of Lagos today came from Ijebu and Ondo. Pa Awolowo annexed Ebute Metta, Ikorodu, Epe and others from Ijebus. We need effective centralized government and that is where we are going!

Some of you ehn!

Who are the Aworis?? before I even mention Ijebu/Ikorodu/Epe people...let me put Lagos Island (Eko) people on reserve... Some of you will just Open your mouth wa!!

Or you want to say because those are Ijebus they are not Lagos Indigenes...that alone makes you look like a slow poke...

Migration of people shape history throughout the humans history but some of you just want to be stupid for no reason...

Note*

Those insults I dished to you are very deliberate to make you feel how been insensitive to millions of people may sound like...these are people who know no other place than Lagos as their ancestral home for centuries...

hearing this from you who may likely be from Ibadan which started as Eba Odan a settlement started by OYO refugees fleeing the Yoruba Civil war in just yesterday's 19th century...and I have no issues with that as that's a normal human traits all over the world....

Almost all of you know this about where you all come from and chose to embrace it as part of whom you are...But chose to quickly castigate Lagos indigenes for just been humans as your forefathers were...

My strong believe is that this horrible long trend stem from deep Envy for Lagos indigenes...

'Why would their forefathers chose to settle in Lagos!' is the push...

But it's not our fault your ancestors decided to stop at your village...ours simply continued to push further till they got to the Atlantic Ocean...





You guys should wake up already!


Modified*
Epe has been part of Lagos even before Awolowo's father was born...

Correction.
Ebute Metta was never Ìjèbú land..
Get that clear .
Ikorodu,Epe yes Ijebu.
Abule Egba all the way to Alimosho Mushin
Ẹgba.
Ijora, Ebute Metta (East and West)Otto, Bariga, areas of Ajegunle, etc are Awori.

Long epistle, yet you didn't answer the damn question. Just attacking Igbos as usual.

This shows how stoopid you are.

I will repeat the question for you again

Why has a true indigene of Lagos state not governed Lagos since 1999 apart from Ambode?

😆😆shut up mumu man…the answer you seek is already in my post. Primitive Osu slave😆😆

So I guess your cursed blodas employed in state civil service should also not have been employed or the ones that won elections before in Lagos since they are not from lagos😂😂

That’s why we are bigger than you tribalistic bigots😆😆😆 Yorubas are one and we don’t segregate like you primitive cave men and besides what’s is important is result and non of the failures you elect in your shitty region can tie the lace of any of them in achievement😆😆😆

Now run along and face the fire burning your cursed region that have been deserted due to killings and destruction going on there…arindin😆😆

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.
Don't you want Nigeria to be rich and be financially independent like Lagos?

We saw the names of fulanis or hausas and IGBOS and other tribes there, let not this be the usual Igbo trolling, BTW why is it not in Lagos or Abuja or from port hacourt there these faceless people say to choose their Lagos governor, this is not the type of things we want it's headquarters in Igbo land.
We want development and not headquarters of faceless whatever. The right place to declare the son of tinubu a governor of Lagos state should be in Lagos state
So damn poor in thought. Smh

The endorsement was illogical from the onset.

Seyi Tinubu should contest for his father's Lagos state governorship position if he is not interested in contesting in his father's region.

The Lagos youths are not interested, simple.

Reasonable people should respect the decision of the Lagos youths.

The issue of imposition is what we are trying to avoid hence the rejection of the endorsement
