SS and SW should brace up if this bill passes through because many people from one side will start migrating and settling in both regions so as to become citizens.

Of course it must be them.

The real attache by force


And gidgiddy will be posting trash like "you can't force unity" but see their bloda trying to attache by force.

And tomorrow the same idiots will be shouting "Biafra or death.

My only problem is that they should also accept tHhe fulanis in their region as indigenes.

We wholeheartedly accept them as indigenes especially the few ones that are brave enough to come and live within Igbos in the South East wink

These guys just take decisions that they don't think through.

They should throw the useless bill in the bin.

Useless bill

I am sure the sponsor is from a certain landlocked region

They will use BoboChicago maladministration of snatch & grab to steal the Lands of the indigenes.

What do you mean by 10yrs to become an indigene. Do these Rubber & Stamp Assembly understand what indigene mean ? grin grin grin

Why not citizen, if you are truly seeking National cohesion. Do they know the difference ? If you are passing such "indigenous" Laws in a "federal" enterprise, better divide that enterprise, let ever,one go their indigenous ways grin

First take care of the citizens before delving into matters beyond your useless laws, competence & capability.

Are you telling me that someone that moves to a remote village 10 yesrs Prior, where the indigenes have been existing will automatically become an indigene of thar remote village after 10yrs ? grin grin grin

Likewise the Fulani Herders who have moved & occupued indigenous land of real ethnic indigenes since the Ruga master came on board are now indigenes of the Land they forcely stole through jihad conquest. In other words they csn continue to fight for the land after 10yrs of occupying & grabbing those indigenous land. grin grin grin

The ethnic & religious confusion & violence Bobo Chicago through his Rubber Stamp Assembly is mixing in that useless National Lab will consume everything, everwhere, everybody.

grin grin grin

Na APC member. Just like how they said that capital punishment is not death penalty.


Tinubu should declare Free adult education especially for APC members.
Re: Bill On Indigene Status After 10 Years Of Residence Passes Second Reading by DSS1335:
I can bet that this bill never work in this country even if it is hurriedly assented to. No be for Lagos where majority of the residents are not allowed to vote because they are non-indigene? Now they want to champion a bill that will throw open eligibility of non indigene to be voted into an office!

That childish ethnicity will never allow that to happen, or have we not heard where a former first lady, who then was a seating senator made a disparaging remark about the igbos in the full glare of camera in the wake of 2019 general elections?

He is an Ibo. He is learning from the playbook of Aguiyi Ironsi and Nnamdi Azikiwe.

This is not a matter of education, it is willful ignorance.

If other amendments fail, this one will pass. The majority of regions will vote yes but it will benefit the Fulanis, the most followed by Igbos.

What special rights do indigenous people get others don't? I want specific examples with sources cites. What's the purpose of the bill.

The bill will never see the light of the day
Even if it scales through the 3rd reading, it will only happen on papers
Re: Bill On Indigene Status After 10 Years Of Residence Passes Second Reading by happney65:
It cant work. Nigeria is a veey tribalistic society. In State Tertiary institutions alone Students pay different school fees. Different school fees for indigene and none indigenes.

Absolute Rubbish

Re: Bill On Indigene Status After 10 Years Of Residence Passes Second Reading by UncleAyo:
The intention for this bill is evil and we know where the source is from. They are the same gumbody gumbody gumbody people sponsoring the bill. The attache by force people who are never proud of where nature has freely given them as their natural heritage.

The same "Lagos-Is-A-No-Man's-Land" goons. In collaboration with the Fulani land grabbers.

This will likely be the bill that will eventually divide Nigeria.

I'm not sure we have representation from SW among them because if we have, they will not allow the bill to pass in the first place.

Everybody should develop their region, seek to create opportunities and make it attractive for the coming generation.

Don't destroy your region and its economy with sponsored and supported terrorism, sit-at-homes and banditry, only to run to other region after destroying yours and be dragging their limited resources with them in the name of one-nigerianess.

Re: Bill On Indigene Status After 10 Years Of Residence Passes Second Reading by kettykin: 1:25am On Mar 27, 2025
This is a very simple thing , modify the law and put a clause ,not applicable to Lagos. This will solve the problems of all sides so that we can use the internet for more useful things.

By the way Nigeria ought to be passing bill to create a new commercial ,business and industrial capital somewhere around kogi state and Abuja so that Lagos can finally be for lagosians . This will be about the best solution to Lagos
