I’m coming to buy and build in your course region because it’s a no man’s land and nothing any riff raff can do about it other than to wails and gnash teeth, cry harder😃😃
Anyone is welcome in the South West.
It's only your cursed region that everyone is avoiding like a plague

All the other 5 regions are inhabited by people from different tribes, except your cursed Mkpurumini region that is occupied by your blodas alone.

Ha ha ha. Between beggars of bread on the streets and those who don't, who are lesser citizens? Your Yoruba kins have been lining up the streets begging for bread since your kinsman became president of Nigeria. Deal with what you asked for, stop making scapegoat of Igbos.

Well the last time I checked, the word "ebimpawa" is not an Igbo word that means, hunger is seriously hitting some people's heads on the ground in sad waste and the number of people that commit suicide is on the increase and in sad waste too. And that will continue till 2031 grin grin grin

You are the real parasite. I have been expecting you to say you will soon breakaway with Oduduwa Republic from Nigeria so that Lagos remains inaccessible for the Igbos unless through visas. But you
are dumbfounded on that because of cheap cash from crude oil in the Niger delta region. Gerraout of here parasite. You don't understand that one Nigeria is a stumbling block to the overall development of entire Yoruba land. Rest of Yoruba land outside Lagos are still most underdeveloped in the entire southern Nigeria.

First of all, there is no indegene law in Nigeria's Constitution. If you must have a country where citizens are called strangers, not allowed to vote or to be voted for, in any part of the country where they live; you are contributing immensely to imminent breakup of Nigeria.

The Hausa-Fulani suya traders in Igboland enjoy every benefit they need in Igboland. If they make enough money to buy land to build a house, nobody refuses them. Once state government in the southeast gives the
Hausa-Fulani a CofO, no future state government can cancel the CofO for a frivolous reason. In your SW region, you are heartless to demolish people's landed property through frivolous reasons after previous state government had approved their CofO.

People of yourSW region don't truly believe in one Nigeria but because of the rich natural resources in the southeast and southsouth regions, they pretend they believe in one Nigeria. Yesterday, Yaribawa agitators stormed the streets for Yoruba Nation, (Oduduwa Republichuh), today, they calm down because a Yaribawa has clutched apex political leadership of Nigeria.
You probably live in Oyibo land and enjoy full citizens' rights - assuming a poorly educated person like you has the required capacity to enable you obtain legal residency status in the Oyibo country where you are living.
The Hausa-Fulani travel and live all over Nigeria because they believe Nigeria is good for them. But many of your Yoruba kinsmen don't believe in one Nigeria but clutch tight to one Nigeria because of sweet crude and gas deposits in the Niger delta region.
I like how you started. You said the present Constitution allows Nigerians to vote and be voted for. Be reminded that even in OYO State South West Nigeria, the Governor from 1999 to 2003 , historically, he is from Kogi State (EBIRA). In Lagos, we have gotten an IBO in the House of Representatives from IBO populated area of Lagos. IBOS and other tribes in South West have been voting and contesting in elections. What then is the reason for the BILL? I want you to answer me. I know the reason, but I want you to tell me.

On the demolition of buildings for the State's Masterplan enforcement I stand with the government. None of the demolished buildings have C of O. I know how many years it took my grandparents to get C of O. My late dad could not get C of O for nearly all his houses except one as we found out all the C of Os are not genuine. Also, C of O have expiry date and there is a revocable C of O. The revocable C of O of one of my grandparents houses is 50 years. You came to Lagos to congest Lagos and pollute everywhere and resist the government from Masterplan enforcement and still blackmail the State, God will judge you.

For every igbo person you see in SW there are thousands who have sworn never to set foot there
So contrary to your propaganda nonsense that every easterner travels with night bus to "lagos"(a whole load of rubbish btw)
They don't really care
So stop the noise pollution abeg

So you committed genocide against Kano people and you always turn around to claim victim? Okoro and comical sense cheesy

On Yoruba own, what your father and mother didn't tell you about Benjamin Adekunle the Black Scorpion and his boys, you will experience it in your own young life too if you don't watch your cho cho cho mouth. You will know Ago and Alaba is irrelevant as those are mere backyards and no issue, we can enter your father's village in your homeland if the need arise as we have done in the past. I will leave you to keep mouthing off as that's your natural talent grin .

obyno82:
Why did your people fear to enter Ago and Alaba. If dem born you well you for enter there, lest you visit the great beyond. See igbos are just being calm, ask Kano indigenes why they do not try any nonsense in Sabon Gari? In 1995 they tried their riots that was when igbos locked their shop brought out guns and massacred a lot of these yandaba boys they use for riots, it took Abacha coming down to Kano to stop the riots. So my bro there is a limit you push people and they will now react. No one has monopoly of violence oooo

Igbos cry about Lagos, they cry about Niger Delta oil, the Niger Delta that has said it on several occasions that they are not biafrans. You will soon cry about groundnut pyramid in the North.

All you know is divide the oil producing Niger delta region into fragments, set the fragments up to war against one another to enable you conquer and rule to exploit their resources in one Nigeria.

Exactly, I support your thoughts. Even in the US. There are Permanent Residents/ Green Cards/ Native American/Naturalized American/..... there's always a tag to show the differences even though you can be entitle to enjoy the full benefit of a Citizen, Naturalized Citizen.....and let's I forget.....there is always a clause to every rights of residency except you are a naturalized citizen. Some clause says you should be deported immediately you are found wanting such as high fraud, murder etc.....

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.

Re: Yoruba Group Rejects Bill Granting Indigene Rights Through Residency, Marriage by Konquest: 10:06pm On Mar 31, 2025
PressMyButton:
A socio-political group, Think Yoruba First (TYF), has rejected a proposed bill before the House of Representatives that seeks to grant indigene rights to Nigerians who have either resided in a particular place for 10 years or have been married to an indigenous person for the same period.

In a statement signed by its executives—Dr Bukola Adeniji, Mr Kayode Ọlọkọ, Dr Mark Faleye, Engr Kunle Faleti, and Mr Bolarinwa Oladimeji—TYF argued that the bill, sponsored by Hon. Kalu Okezie, would erode the cultural and historical foundations of indigenous peoples across Nigeria and could fuel ethnic tensions, conflicts, and long-term instability.


The group maintained that global best practices do not grant indigenous status based on residency or marriage, citing examples such as Native Americans in the United States, Aboriginals in Australia, and indigenous communities in Canada and New Zealand.

“No serious nation undermines the rights of its indigenous people by arbitrarily granting indigenous status to settlers. Around the world, indigenous identity is tied to ancestry, cultural heritage, and historical connection to the land—not just residency or marriage.


“History has shown that forceful alteration of indigenous identity is a precursor to ethnic violence and civil unrest, especially in multi-ethnic and multi-cultural nations.

“Consider these cases: Rwanda (1994 Genocide)—The manipulation of ethnic identity led to mass violence between the Hutu and Tutsi populations, with devastating consequences. South Sudan Conflict—decades of imposed ethnic integrations contributed to tensions that eventually led to South Sudan’s secession. Yugoslavia (Balkan Wars of the 1990s)—The forced blending of ethnic identities contributed to one of Europe’s most brutal conflicts in the 20th century.

“Nigeria itself has witnessed countless ethnic conflicts due to territorial and indigenous disputes. The crises in Jos, Southern Kaduna, Ife-Modakeke, and Aguleri-Umuleri, as well as the clashes between herders and farmers across the Middle Belt, all stem from disputes over land and identity.


Legalising the erasure of indigenous identity will exacerbate these conflicts, not resolve them,” the statement read.

TYF called on representatives from the South-West, South-South, North-Central, North-East, and North-West regions to oppose the bill in its entirety, emphasising that the protection of indigenous rights is a fundamental responsibility that must not be compromised.

The group urged the National Assembly to focus on ethnolinguistic restructuring, as advocated by Chief Obafemi Awolowo, stating that such an approach would promote peaceful coexistence, economic empowerment, and equitable development for all Nigerians without undermining the historical and cultural integrity of indigenous peoples.

“The indigenous identity of Nigeria’s ethnic nationalities is a sacred heritage that must not be sacrificed on the altar of political expediency. If this bill is allowed to pass, it will set a dangerous precedent that could lead to an irreversible distortion of Nigeria’s ethnic foundations, leading to deeper fragmentation and possible disintegration,” TYF warned.
