You don't want to be Yoruba yet you are everywhere crying about this wonderful news.

How and where did I cry about Yorubas? You are mentally sick in the head. My son is far more matured than you.

AmalaAtiEwedu:
so why d pain?

Guy go and do your homework and stop commenting on adult topics

IyfeNamikaze:
There's nothing wrong with your second example becoming a reality, the reason is that Niger Delta is not a tribe but a region , a lot of tribes are in the Niger Delta region and none can claim that the region specifically belongs to them. So a Yoruba man from Kwara who has lived in that region for a decade or more can and should be identified as a niger deltan.

Ok, maybe I should have said Ijaw so you would understand the context better.

fickleawolowo:
We know who is the Boss in Nigeria, Abiola was killed like rat and Ojukwu was honored, runus are stupid fools 👍🏾

I don't remember Abiola people crying about some 3 million pigs wasted

Osu son is also osu. You were not crying yet you've wrote enough Epistles here to convince us that you must be Yoruba,who swear for Osu people?

obyno82:
You are mentally sick on the head. I don't ever and will never be a Yoruba man.

Osu can never be Yoruba,tell that your useless rep to die the idea of His

The bad part of this bill outweighs the good. Lots of Fulani herdsmen would obtain citizenship through this bill and that's the end of peaceful Southern Nigeria. To those of you supporting this bill, don't think about your personal interests. Think about the ripple effect

I don't even think the majority of Southerners (SE, SW,SS ) supports this Bill. I believe that the person sponsoring this bill might be doing it with the aim of foster unity but I think he's naive and very short sighted and myopic. As an igbo man that has lived in Lagos for about a decade now I don't want to be classified as a yorubman neither do I care to be indigenous to Lagos, I know where I originated from, my ancestral home.
Every southerner should be rejecting this bill like say tomorrow no dey.

Na this kind people them supposed to dey recall from that House of assembly. His head is not correct, he needs to come back home make ụmụnna slap some senses back into him.

SE politicians do not think at all. That was how they started the unitary system via Ironsi thinking it would favour them, till the Northerners hijacked it, fine-tuned it, and used it as a weapon.

Same is going to happen with this as well. Fulanis would love this bill very much, and as expected, they have the SE (Igbos) to do the dirty leg work.

chidifrank:
See as you dy talk like say you be Almighty and the man that sees tomorrow . Even the day you go die and leave this world , you no even know but you don already see future finish. Better humble yourself and think of life fairly . No one is promised tomorrow

I am not claiming to see tomorrow but I know if this bill stands Igbos will suffer more cos fulanis will show them hell

Hope u know fulanis have sacked over 5 communities in Enugu already?

What if they are now citizens?

This was d same way u Igbos opposed seccesion but today na u cry pass about going our seperate ways

If this bill, does not fly through, we deserve to go out separate ways. We should stop deceiving ourselves that we are one Nigeria. If people from other parts of Nigeria can benefit from the wealth of the South South, I don’t see why citizenship should not fly.

No South south person or any minority tribe from the middle belt or even the north, would support this bill. Only the Fulanis and of course some naive Igbos would love this bill.

PressMyButton:
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.

Something is wrong with your brain. Why are you mentioning SE, as if you are comfortable with Rugs, typical coward that always points hand whereas he is chief culprit

FreeStuffsNG:
Fallacy.

Jos , Kaduna and Port Harcourt even have far more settlers than Lagos. That's why those 3 places have scars of bloody war between indigenes and settlers

Really?

Then we have to decide if we wanna have democracy or ethnocracy, I am totally in support of Ethnocracy based on Meritocracy, since democracy has been a very nepotistic experiment that has no hope of being useful in a multi-ethnic setting.

I think Democracy is for immigrant populated states like America and Canada.

Mbanda:
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.

you are just being tribal sentimental.

Ask yourself, as an Igbo person,will you allow a Northerner to become a chief in Igbo land just because he has lived in Igbo land for years?

Will you agree to sell your family land to a Yoruba man because he is married to one girl in your village?

Let's all be truthful to ourselves sometimes.

The way minority aboriginal Americans and Canadians were slaughtered and almost wiped off by majority white settlers from Europe is a good example why this bill is foolish. It will consume lands of the minorities.

Hassanmaye:
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

There are Northerners in Sabo all over Nigeria.
Is anybody troubling them.

If any Northerner wants to school in the South, let him come.
He only has to score high in his exams.

Simple!

Shikena:
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.

A Yoruba man owns one of the larger cocoa farms in my village. I don’t have a problem with that, neither do my kinsmen.

We no go gree ooo

Nyamuri OSU wan become Yoruba

who no like better thing? If na you nko? would you want to be tagged with an Osu slave heritage from landlocked potopoto land

Ojemedad:
These are the same Yoruba that are litered all over UK seeking for residence permit and citizenship, even to the extend of becoming an elected member

iLoveYouToo:
Same people will live in Europe and Americas and seek naturalization. We’re the dark continent for a reason.

Sometimes I wonder what this our foolishness really helped us to achieve

being:
Exactly people would go to america and want to become a citizen by residency or marriage

Citizenship is different from indigeneity.
If you like, live in America or Europe for 200 years, you can never become an indigene.

Two Canadian prime minister below. They are citizens by settlement but are not indigenous to Canada.

santaclaws:
Ok, maybe I should have said Ijaw so you would understand the context better.

like I said, Niger Delta is not owned by a specific ethnicity. Ijaw is not the only ethnic group in Niger Delta, there are the Urhobo, Edo, Oron, Ibibio,Efik, Itsekiri, Igbo, isoko, kalabari. A Yoruba can and should be identified as a niger deltan if he has lived in the region for such a long time, him identifying as a niger deltan Yoruba man doesn't endanger the other ethnic groups living in that region as long as he's not identifying as indigenous to any of these ethnic groups.

of all the regions you could've used to makeyour useless point, why must it be the SE?
Your obsession with this region is nearing a mental issue

Why the long text? Did you fail to comprehend the issue? Can I become an Ijaw man simply because I lived there for 10 years? Can a white American become a native American because he's also American? Indigenship is a unique identity based on ancestry.

If you don't understand the above, don't bother quoting me again... No need for unnecessary arguments.

The bill is good and should give people who have resided in a state for 10 years the right to contest any political positions in the state. After all, such a resident have been paying taxes to the state and contributing to the development of the state.

Something must be wrong with the Okezie man.. those folks don't think before they act, when things don't go as planned by them, they start playing victims.

All in the bid to steal Lagos and drag rights with the Yorubas, they are pushing a senseless bill to grant indigeneship to settlers after 10 years.. Fulanis will take over all your lands in SE and you will be chased out of SW, na then una eyes go clear.

Some of these hypocrites may have applied for and obtained US or British citizenship, yet become parochial and unaccommodating in their own country.

It was sponsored by Benjamin Kalu, Deputy Speaker, Hous of Representatives.













But na una dey reject RUGA, dey shout say una no want RUGA. Also can you allow a Fulani become a Governor in SE claiming an indigene?. Your hypocrisy stinks, no be Lagos you dey do, na unaself una dey do.

i can bet my kidney that you're not from LAgos

integrity16:
This is the same mistake Aguiyi Ironsi made thinking the unitary system would favor the Igbos, your law makers wants to repeat history.

Are you ready to grant indigene rights to Fulani herdman in Igbo Land?

Exactly.
