So you wan kpai indigenous people to turn Nigeria to America?

I believe if u travel to the US, after 10years u would file for citizenship but u don't want same thing to apply to Nigeria and yet u want Nigeria to remain one

JAMO84:
Useless bill

I am sure the sponsor is from a certain landlocked region

Don't you see his name. Benjamin kalu. Lagos this Lagos that but still yet, they want to die. I taught when lagospedia threatened them, they will use it as an excuse to relocate but they start crying. Relocate your businesses and see how poverty will ravage them. Who will now leave Lagos to south east to do business when other tribes can still do same in Lagos. Is it not buying and selling.

We are talking about the slow erosion of aboriginal culture and people through this ultra liberal Marxist bill

The US has since genocided an entire aboriginal people and their culture and you want that to be replicated here in Nigeria ?

If you are so much a one Nigerianist start by dumping your Ibo identity and culture first

Multiculturalism does not entail the dilution of cultures and race as promulgated by communists . Rather true multiculturalism is when all races, ethnicities and cultures live side by side in peace

As I have earlier said here, the sponsor of this bill should start his rubbish in his xenophobic SE first. Charity , after all begins at home.

Even the indigenous Lagosians don't want you.

"We want biafla", ''Divide Nigeria'' on Nairaland and twitter whilst YOUR senators are dividing the spoils with the same Nigerians in Abuja.

Not a single igbo senator has moved a bill for the secession from Nigeria, not even senator abaribe who has been a senator for 18 years straight.

They will 'demand' for biafla in d presence of their kinsmen when they go to their villages but shout one nigeria when they get back to abuja. Small lagospedia wey remind una of relocation back to alaigbo, we know how una begin throw tantrum upandan.

The joke's on you all.

Tonygeesm:
We say divide Nigeria you cry and tremble, we give you one Nigeria you are terrified like someone hunted by ghosts.

Funny people with funny ignorant comments most esp the so called igbos laughing at a bill they think will benefit them when in fact it will destroy them in the southeast, its only the south east thats ultra conservative, votes one party, is 99% mono linguistic & mono religious reason ipob can wage war & get away with it, reason fulani cant really gain footholds, reason muslims though abound there have no say in south east. This bill will destroy all that and any bill constitutionally passed is backed by all laws of the government so for you all laughing thinking its about lagos keep laughing its actually about the southeast cos there will be no more biafra agitation, conservative monoply, ipob, killing of fulanis, suppression & marginalisation of other ethnicities/religion in the south east as they will all have equal rights as the igbos in fact some with the backing of the fulani soldiers will even have more rights than some igbo's all they need do is lay low for 10 years.

DomPerignon:
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.

Become citizens?

Are they not already Nigerian citizens who can freely live anywhere in the country? You people should enjoy your "One Nigeria" and stop complaining.

DomPerignon:
more reason why the bill will fail woefully

Why should it fail?
It is a good bill for Nigerians.
Place of birth/residence should replace place of origin after all we are in one indivisible Naija. One nation one destiny .
That Bill must pass o only enemies of Nigeria unity will vote against it.

Nigeria is a Federation composed of Federating units known as states. These states have first and foremost tribal identities within their borders as a determinant on who is a bonafide citizen of their respective state.

Changing your zip code will not suffice to make you an indigene and citizen of a state.

Our constitution recognises ethnic groups within the sovereign land demarcated within state borders.

If this bill passes , then there won't be need for constitutional recognition of ethnic identities and their traditional title holders. If this bill passes, it will pave way for the criminalisation of ethnic identities and those who hold on to it

This bill is nothing short of the Zikist inspired and written Decree 34 that had its sight on future derecognition of ethnic identities and traditional representatives.

This bill aims to turn Nigeria to one big massive Brazilesque flavella gheto.

There is a reason why we had a Moment of Tower of Babel incidence. God created different races and ethnicities for a reason.

Exactly, if you want Nigeria to be one then you should support this bill. Go and secede if you don't want it.

Which Nigerians ?

You meant to say it's good for you Marxist Wanderers who have burned their home to the ground .

This bill does not favour anyone outside the Ibo and the Fulani .

The people at greatest disadvantage to this bill are the minorities in both the SS and middle belt whose land will become swarmed by both Fulani and ibos. And they will wake up one day with strangers ruling and lording over them.

The only ammendment that will preserve Nigeria from the encroachment of internal colonialists is a return to the original regional template .

Your Zikist dream of fanning out like termites to conquer and spoil the land will not be at the expense of other people's identity , cultures and land.

If states were formed based on tribal identities then why are there Ijaw people in Ondo state? Why are there Igala people in Anambra state? Why are there Fulani people in Kwara state?

Heck, in Lagos itself there are indigenous people who do not belong to the Yoruba tribe.
So, no, every state does not have a specific tribal identity.

If you want One Nigeria, you have to get on board with what that truly means. You can't have your cake and eat it two.

I never said states were formed on tribal sentiments but that in every state, the indigenous tribes within their borders are accorded full state of origin status and the benefits that that offers.

We are Africans and we all have an ancestral home and whatever shifting political boundaries that may arise as a result of state creation, our ancestral land still is ours.

This bill aims to remove ancestral claims to land and thus, make you a stranger in your own land forced to accept without question the overbearing behaviour of settlers within your land.

The bill is antithetical to Afrucan heritage and even delegitimises the struggle against colonial rule for if anyone can come and settle in your midst and demand sane rights you enjoy to the point of ruling you, then why did we chase the Brits away in the first place ?

And whatever happened to : "to your tents , oh Israel"?

I keep saying it that there is not one fibre of nationalism in Biafra agitation and that is a ruse towards annexation.

There's no need for a long epistle. Either Nigeria is one or it is not. You can't have your cake and eat it two.

That's the problem.

It's either your misguided Zikist interpretation of one Nigeria or your Biafra madness which is still at the expense of other people's land and resources .

I assume you are a woman by your handle . If your husband treats you like a sex slave and house help all in the name of marriage , I hope you won't complain because that is what you are doing with your warped interpretation of what one Nigeria entails

Finally , you ought to know that at independence we had a constitution that created healthy borders within on the premise that good fences , make better neighbors until your Zikist ruined everything for their inane tribal ambitions to dominate the polity.

This bill is dead on arrival .

It's only going through reading on the floor as a formality and will never get the constitutional required support .

Even it passes by a miracle , I can bet my life that all states in the SS and SW and some in the MB won't domesticate it.

So rest.

You can type as many epistles as you like, it will not change the truth. If you don't like 'One Nigeria', go and secede.

Ope oo! I am now a Lagosian!
Eko o ni are!! Itesiwaju Eko o!

.

MadamExcellency:
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.

It will only apply to those who are Nigerians, the Fulani herdsmen You see are not Nigerians, they are from Chad and Niger, mostly from Niger. They're are illegal migrants who came here to work as cattle herders.

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.

You call them gumbody attache by force people yet you're worried that this Bill might divide Nigeria?
You're not seeing the hypocrisy in your comment abi you want me to spell it out for you?

Makamatic:
Why una they force attache to SS , when you know say we nor like una , una nor like us . Or you think we done forget 2012 and 2015 in a hurry

funny enough them no know say the larger tribe in the ss are still the people he fears the most I am from the south south and I belong to that tribe he fears and funny enough we have the majority block there

yemmit90:
It is a bill that shouldn't have been consider in the first place, the target of the bill sponsors and its apologists is Lagos. It means all other ethnic groups that have been in Lagos for long would automatically become indigenes.

It is an attempt to turn Lagos to no man's land and subsequently create serious crisis or civil war in future.

If this bill will facilitate the breaking of this country shouldn't it be welcomed by you people? Why continue to pretend to be ONE when you don't want your fellow Nigerian to be indigenous to where they have been residing for years?

codemaniacs:
he has been paid off..

he does not care about if the east is invaded..

its the same way Ojukwu did not care that the east will be attacked..

its also the same way Nnamdi Kanu did not care that B:uharii will use soldiers on i:gbos..

Most of them don't care about the consequences of their actions until they start seeing and experiencing the consequences..

bros u are saying rubbish they were busy killing igbos just for nothing all round Nigeria and you expect them not to protect themselves huh? And when did seeking for self determination became a crime Baba i don't understand they way some people think

yemmit90:
It doesn't matter sir, Nigeria is a very diverse interogeneuous society with a well recognised indigenous people that have something in common.

You don't expect a total stranger to one day come out and attempt to lead them in the name of claiming indigine after living there for a certain period of time without causing a bloody crisis within the same society.

There are thing we the present generation need to avoid to ease off problems for future one. It would've made sense if the bill is focus on a situation where all Yoruba, Hausa or Igbo will become indigenes within every state that is primarily occupied by their fellow ethnics.

Except we are pretending not to know, you and I know that the purpose of the bill is to make Lagos a no man's land and nothing else.

That bill was spine in the spirit of unity, but you people being the most tribalistic of every ethnicity in Nigeria have Framed it as a capture for Lagos.

Tonygeesm:
We say divide Nigeria you cry and tremble, we give you one Nigeria you are terrified like someone hunted by ghosts.

I just tire for these people. What do they even have want again?

ProudlyLagos:
why am I not surprised…..the sponsor of the bill is from a region that have nothing to be proud of in their shitty region……Lagos have always been the prize and that have always been there agenda

This is dead on arrival and the senate should vote it out we won’t allow strangers with no ties to our traditions and culture to come and import there foreign traditions to our home.

Make everybody bear hin papa name, we say no to this bill

This same person was part of those who sponsored a bill to increase Lagos LGA by converting LCDa, he also sponsored the bill to remove immunity on VPs and Governors, bills that you bigoted tribalistic idiots praised as Tinubu achievement, now he's has sponsored another Bill but this one doesn't align with your tribalistic stupidity you now turn around to accuse him and the entire Igbo ethnic group of trying to capture Lagos.
You people are vile deceitful and full of bigotry!

Papayaayasager:
They are there already so, brace down

lol.. that village champion that has refused to travel in his life doesn't even know that Igbos are indigenous to South South and even the middle belt.

tammie24:
does that stop him from being an ibo man? Cos now you are the ignorant one

He was not tagged an igbo man When his committee sponsored the Bill to increase Lagos LGAs and the removal of VP and governor's immunity.
Now you people have remembered that he's an igbo man.
Tribalistic bigots, that's what you people are

You are confusing indegenity with Citizenship.

I am sure you know that their are aboriginals in the US that have specific benefits only available to them.

In addition, the settlement colony called USA is a bad example. To prevent the calamity that happened to native Americans where they were almost wiped out, then the bill would be trashed.

yahoodetector:
Even the indigenous Lagosians don't want you.

Clown. Lol.

10 Disgruntled pdp politician that sponsored that rubbish do not speak for all aboriginal lagosians.

Stop projecting. I'm OK with my Yorubaland. Stop casting your worries on me.

Go back and read what I wrote one more time dear unity beggars. I don't give a care about any of your worries.

Stay in your region and make it great instead of running to other people's region and denigrating them and also making frivolous claim of building their region for them while your own region is nothing to write home about.
