They have all this energy but can’t Channel it towards ending ritual killings and skull mining in SW.
If only you can channel half this energy into weeping , wailing and ruminating over the generational inherited cannibalistic attitude passed from your great generations down to you now fully backed up with other atrocities . Perhaps, maybe perhaps.

Translate it into the three major languages too, especially Igbo. Igbos are 50 percent of Lagos population, Hausas are 15 percent and Yerubas are 35 percent
Soon, your governors will start sending people here to know how it is done.

In case you have forgotten, it has happened before.

Lagos no want ''No man's land'' title.
Exactly
Lagos is a Yoruba state, whether you like it or not.
The next step will be to disown any non-Yoruba persons born in Lagos.
Prevent non-Yoruba from holding any type of public office in Lagos.
Followed by prevent non-Yoruba from owning any property in Lagos.
Slowly, everybody will find their way back to their own states, say a big f*** You to other tribes and divide Nigeria very well.
Let the country fall appart in peace.

They are going around to force themselves inside local government. Some of them forcefully break local government gate. One sacked illegal APC local government chairman vandalized pdp chairman candidates car yesterday in Ife east and ran away when they want to deal with him.

@Thewrath, just shut up already!!! Skull mining or whatever you call it is not peculiar to the SW. In recent memory, the SE region has become a haven of some sort for this trade in human parts. Added to that is the dastardly acts of non-state actors like UGM, who have reduced the SE to a sinkhole of social instability, and bestowed upon it a crisis of habitability. Such that people there run to the SW for refuge. The same SW they willfully scorn.

You questioned the energies of SW leaders to provide good leadership that translates into a better society. If only you could lift the lid of prejudice from your eyes, you would see that your people, who move to the SW as social and economic refugees are already enjoying the fruits of visionary leadership. But because you're a product of self-inflicted bitterness it's very hard for you to acknowledge this.

In a multi ethnolinguistic arrangement as ours, it's very important that the rights of the indigenes are preserved, and that is being distilled as this effort. This is geo-politics, if you understand it. Is that too difficult for you to perceivehuh

In the digital world, programmers and coders try to harmonize their codes such that people from all over the world can participate and add value. It’s never about who started it, but the impact it plays in producing products that are invaluable to human existence.

This current trend by the Lagos government is reinventing a wheel that is a total waste of time, resources and a distraction from more important issues. Nigeria is losing out on being involved in global decision making/ global value chain, can someone explain how knowing physics in Yoruba will aid in building a plane or car? Even China sponsored student to the US and UK to learn in English and bring value home.

The laws/legal system we practice is western and is such that everyone who lives in the region should be able to make use of it. Should all lawyers in SW re-enroll in a Yoruba school of legal studies and start over?

Build more museums instead, invest in heritage sites, build statues, modernize your local cuisines, sponsor carnivals etc.

To those who support this trajectory my question is, is divisiveness the only thing the Blackman is good at?

Does having less than 5% free public schools signify good governance to you that should be continued huh

How many teachers are recruited annually by LASG since 1999? Any clue huh

The Lagos State government has said the ratio of public to private schools at both primary and secondary school levels in the state is one to 22.

@GeneralPula, thank you for showing these ignorant people the light. The original Yoruba land extended up to Togo and some parts of Ghana. It was the British that bulkanised Yoruba states. So, culturally and spiritually, these Eguns and the like still see themselves as Yorubas, just as many Brazilians, some Portuguese, Trinidad and Tobagoans and Cubans also see themselves as Yorubas.

It's shocking, the rate of stupidity on Nairaland.

Pls stop replying them they are my people but I swear I dumped them tey tey, too horrible character-wise. Instead to think deep about their own life and region mbanu they are only busy about we own Lagos, we own Abuja, we own Kaduna now they said Asaba and Benin belong to them that is the latest envogue.

If anybody not happy with Lagos or SW move go back to your village its not by force to stay in SW pls f u c k your a s s out of their region and fu c k to your village and shut da f c k your mouth.
