Our people are funny. We will resist this and yet get the citizenship of other countries by a similar process - and even go on to hold political offices there. May heaven help the blackman.
INDIGENSHIP is by TRIBAL DESCENT. I doubt our people will get over that. We should, but I doubt we can anytime soon. So maybe they should just rephrase it "residential right with full rights to vote and contest and bla bla..."

hope u will b happy when fulanis too become indigene of south east n they can contest n become governor?

Hope if dangote is openly sponsoring a Fulani candidate to become governor in anambara we won't hear noise cos u people are too myopic n u ain't deep thinkers


Fulanis have not been given indigene in Enugu n they are already wiping communities away, what if they are indigenes?
This is about indigene rights no one is talking about elections ahhhhh see where your mind is going.
Oga you have a mental illness I recommend you stay off NL and SM and get help you are a danger to people and yourself.

Now that I am aware that we have baby gorillas in Nigeria, this bill should be used to clean the yansh of baby gorillas, otherwise,we are ready. If this bill should pass, we are very ready for it 100%.
If I resided in the SE for 10 years for instance and I automatically became an indigene of SE, and then I wanted to buy a choice land in the SE and they will be telling me that the land is an ancestral land or community land and cannot be sold to a stranger and then somebody will now take me to one land beside a shrine and ask me to buy it, that's when they will know that I can break bottle on somebody's head. If you are pushing to become an indigene in another man's house, you had better think it twice now. If the bill is passed, we don't want to hear that Fulanis cannot be given free lands for ruga in the SE. Because many Northerners are married to Ibos and have been living in the SE before independence.
omo you are right but you are very funny grin cheesy grin

Honestly some people just think they are too wise in this country.

On this same Nairaland, the topic of government ranches was discussed and these same people eyeing Lagos were vehemently against ranches in the South East saying their land is not available for such. Now they have suddenly turned to civilized people preaching one Nigeria grin grin .

Not in native American homelands known as Native American reservations.
Why would I want to go and buy land in the Grand Canyon? What for?

Besides, so you think this bill is in any way about land? Nothing stops anyone from buying lands in Nigeria provided you have the money and the seller is willing to sell. Tell me where I can’t buy land in Nigeria IF IT APPEALS TO ME?

don't mind those myopic idiots

I wish d bill can scale through, in the next 5 years let's see who go cry.

They want that law cos they are eyeing Lagos not knowing that on the other side fulanis that they hate so much can relocate to their region n do worse

Imagine fulanis wey dem never give free hand don ruin Enugu, just imagine say dem b indigene

If this bill should scale through na same Igbos wey bring d bill go still cry about it
And now? Is Igbo man not a rep member in Lagos? Is people of different state not claiming state they reside and do whatever they want there?

The sponsor and many of you commenting here are nothing but bunch of hypocritical illiterates.

Why should we? Even America the number 1 promoter of democracy in the world have about 326 federally recognized tribal homelands known as native american reservations. People are free to do whatever they like in cities built by immigrants but no access to tribal homelands of the original landlords.

The Bill is demonic. Southern legislators are docile and after their pockets.
Re: Yoruba Group Rejects Bill Granting Indigene Rights Through Residency, Marriage by Shikena(m): 8:28pm On Mar 30, 2025
Then you have missed the entire point. This is not about what you want.

*Land was only used as an example since that is a concern of many Nigerians with regards to being "naturalized" indigenes of Igbo land via residency or marriage.

You will come to north get admission in A.B.U to study medicine, get job, buy land and establish business, but northerners can not do the same. The stupidity our forefathers did will not be tolerated, time will tell

Believe me it won't work in actual sense of it.

That dichotomy will always be there
In fact it would worsen things and create more hate... They should just scrap the use of state of origin and allow people to use place of birth.

Indigeneship is another thing entirely and it can only be gotten through ancestry, it's a unique identity, just like white Americans cannot claim to be native Americans.

Stop being daft. Show me where igbos force Yorubas to sell family land or communal land in SW. That is the same scenario is the South east. Try and ve sensible
Is not silly of you to be proud of having your huge assets outside of your region? Other tribes are so wise not make such silly move in your region.

Are you sure you are not stupid? Ogunlesi's assets are they in SW? Why is it that you don't have sense for once.
Are we all not Nigerians? If you don't want it why not secede then. Why are you afraid of secession. Blackmailing people all the time no dey work.

Re: Yoruba Group Rejects Bill Granting Indigene Rights Through Residency, Marriage by Shikena(m): 8:34pm On Mar 30, 2025
That's the point. You can buy land anywhere in the SW but South Westerners are not sure of that in your village where cases of even indigenes of a neighboring village being denied such access is well known. We are okay with what you already enjoy in the SW. We don't want to give more than enough room. We saw what your guys did with the last election in Lagos.

What kind stupid bill is that, why can't these Igbo guys just mind their business and be where you come from...I mean,how can you be known as a chibuzor and from oyo or zamfara state?!

I think the wording of the bill is flawed.

Indigineship rights is a bit too strong because no matter how long you reside in an area that is not your ancestral home, you cannot be an Indigenous person.

However, the expansion of residency rights is a good move if properly presented.
The OSU people by all means want to leave their enclave.

I know they will reject it because of Igbos that is living in lagos. Fear anybody that is suffering from Igbo phobia. Yet this same people are the ones that want to kill Kanu because of "one Nigeria.

Yeye dey smell.
To you now, everything start and end in Lagos right?
What's the obsession of Igbo people with Lagos? because I know that's why you guys brought up this bill. For your information, am not ronu or any apcshit supporter, I even voted for Obi in the last election. So you think is okay for fulanis to come to your land and claim citizenship because of your obsession with Lagos. Think about the flaws in the bill not Lagos, whats even in this Lagos self, I have been to Dubai, Nairobi, Dortmund, Kigali and London. I can categorically tell you that there is nothing in that Lagos but I don't understand you guys obsession with it. Fulani herdsmen kill my inlaw in Ondo state last month, and you guys are thinking of granting them citizen cos of personal sentiment with lag?😂
