Why be say na only Lagos dey pain everyone when this is being done in everyone's village

In Edo your state, Ighodalo a man from Edo but unable to speak his native tongue became a problem, Hw much more if he was someone with roots from outside Edo

But na Lagos everyone carry for head. We know what you are doing

Dey play.

Theflint that became disobidient once it got to his state.

Theflint1:
You dey mind am...e go camp for America politics thread dey disrespect hosts day after day yet he doesn't want people do so same in what's a state within their country.

have the hosts come to complain to you? When they come to complain to you let us know.

Edo people told Ighodalo that he is not fit to be governor because he cannot speak the language, The Other candidate Akpata had to wax an album to prove his Edo bonafides

But na only Lagos concern you

raumdeuter:
How come this agenda about going back to your village is only focused on Lagos? Hw many places in Nigeria outside lagos do non indigenes get to contest

How come na only Lagos dey pain you?

This is a man proudly saying that Ebonyi indigenes cannot contest in Lagos

Bianca Ojukwu was opposed in her bid to contest in Anambra state even though she was married to a prominent Anambra family

You never talk wetin dey pain you. Na so so Lagos Lagos Lagos

See how you’re dancing in circles.
You’re shouting “why only Lagos” as if Lagos is a spiritual realm exempt from logic. The moment Lagos is mentioned, tribalists like you start vibrating like it’s a personal attack. Lagos is Nigeria’s commercial capital, not your ancestral shrine, so yes, we will talk about it more because its relevance is national, not village-level like some places you’re trying to compare it to.

You brought up Bianca like that’s your trump card. Oga, Bianca was opposed by a fringe group, not the state apparatus. She contested anyway because Anambra doesn’t have a legal structure blocking her. Lagos, on the other hand, has seen politicians actively push policies and campaigns built on “deport them,” “vote for our own,” and “you must be son of the soil to belong.” You know the difference, stop pretending.

And don’t act brand new, non-indigenes win elections in multiple states across Nigeria. An Edo man was once elected chairman in Delta. Hausa people hold local posts in parts of the South. Even in Enugu, a Yoruba man contested and nobody burned the state. But Lagos? You lot act like the Oba’s crown is your birthright and the rest of Nigeria should just wash plates.

You say “immigration is a privilege” yet you’re in a foreign land enjoying rights you won’t give fellow Nigerians at home. You celebrate Nigerians being elected abroad, but foam at the mouth when another Nigerian runs in Lagos. Hypocrisy is doing jumping jacks in your argument.
Let’s be clear: what’s painful is not Lagos, it’s the double standard. The fact that you want openness, inclusion, and fair opportunity when you’re the minority in America, but when the tables turn in Nigeria, you become a bouncer at the gate of “indigeneship.”

You’re not defending tradition. You’re defending tribal paranoia. And the only thing worse than a tribalist is a tribalist trying to disguise his insecurity as patriotism.
So stop pointing at other states like a guilty man trying to distract from his mess. Clean your house first before you start shouting about someone else's compound.

So you are ignorant enough not to know that the Obas crown is a birthright and its passed down through birth? What type of ignorance f the culture do you display with such confidence all over the place

Lagos can show you many non indigenes who are political office holders, E.g Senator Yayi is from Ogun no one had a problem with him Politican appointees, like Aregbesola, Igbokwe, are non indigenes, no one has a problem with them

Insecurity trbalism, paranoia, whatever you call it, Go and start it from your own homeland and shw Lagos how to do it

Everyone becomes liberal when its someone elses property, but when its theirs they choose conservatism. Go to your village and invite Fulanis to come rule there to show us by example not by choo choo choo

You've on several occassions admitted to being a foreigner in Lagos, that your parents immigrated there, so why are you the one always telling people to not have opinions about Lagos' politics...why not wait for the true Lagosians to tell people to not have those opinions.

Wetin gan gan dey pain you about Lagos wey you no fit sidon look as the foreigner that you are to the state?

Foreigner that has refused to stay one place...only you will not allow American's enjoy their politics in peace, same you won't allow true Lagosians give opinions on who's excluded and who isn't. How many Lagosians on this thread have told Elder not to comment on the state's politics...always the foreigners.

Afromentalist:
What happened to funlord is that he scammed one lady in the FX thread and had to be added to the scammer list. He then went into ghost mode

OH really. Didn't know.

Can you point me to the thread? I remember when there was a case against him, about paying money into a dead person's account or so.

Lagosians have spoken that they want outsiders to stay out of their politics and I am aligning with their position, I don't contest in Lagos, I don't disrespect their culture, I don't call their land a No man's land. But for you that is too much to ask
You cannot simply offer them the respect they want in their land and you probably wont give others in yours

You see your problem? You confuse culture with governance, and monarchy with democracy. Yes, the Oba’s crown is by birth , nobody's dragging that. But Lagos State is not the Oba’s personal kingdom. It's part of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, not a royal estate for tribal sentiment.

You listed a few token appointees like Igbokwe as your defense, that’s cute. Igbokwe? The one they wheel out to insult his own people just to prove loyalty? You're mistaking symbolic decoration for true inclusion. Someone selected, not freely elected by a people embracing diversity. Don’t confuse crumbs with equality.

Now back to your obsession with "respecting your host." You think Nigerians from other tribes are foreigners in Lagos? That’s the root of your warped thinking. You call fellow citizens guests on their own soil. What next? Should a Benue man need a visa to enter Lekki?

You proudly say “I want what Americans want”, but here’s the twist: what Americans want is diversity, equal opportunity, and a system where even the son of an immigrant can become vice president. That’s what you benefit from while typing all this tribal gatekeeping from their country. You enjoy the fruits of inclusion abroad while planting seeds of exclusion at home.

You're asking me to “go to my village and invite Fulanis to rule.” See how you're wired? Leadership isn’t about ethnicity, it should be about competence and choice.

And let me be clear: nobody becomes “liberal” because it's not their land. What we become is principled. We want a nation where all Nigerians, not just the ones that speak your dialect, have equal rights. If you can’t process that, then it’s not me that’s doing choo choo, you have derailed completely.
Lagos belongs to all Nigerians. You can’t cherry-pick nationalism abroad and practice apartheid at home.

Theflint1:
Yea right, Lagosians like Raumdeuter and Afrodoc on Nairaland...orishirishi

I am not a Lagosian, I have never claimed to be one. I am from Oyo

Lagosians like every host have a right to choose who come to their land and who is acceptable to them, They accepted foreigners like Yay, Igbokwe, Akabueze and they have rejected others

Just like America and any place pick the foreigners they want and those they don't especially those who disrespect their traditions cultures and insist their land is No man's land

Every host has a right to cherry pick the foreigners acceptable to them just the same way you have a right to pick the exact visitor who enters your house. why not practice the inclusion and throw your house door open to everyone. You wont but when it comes to other peoples states thats when you start shouting they should do what you have been preaching against

I challenge you now tell us your state and the number of non indigenes who have been governors, Senators or HoR representig your state since 1999, You will probably chicken out because its not Lagos

Lagos belongs to all Nigerians just like Enugu, Rivers Gombe, Adamawa Katsina Oyo belong to all Nigerians yet yu dont expen this much energy when asking for other places to make non indigenes political leaders in their state

Lagosians say they want to pick the non indigenes they want you dey insist they must pick everyone shey na by force?

You're not a Lagosian, but it doesn't stop you from crying for the bereaved.

How about you respect the people hosting you in Lagos and America by not speaking on their behalf, allow hosts settle their politics and deal with foreigners by themselves...don't meddle, by supporting some hosts over others, you're disrespecting the ones you don't agree with.

Just sidon look, that's how you'd be truly respectful of your hosts. It's not you that's the foreigner that would tell the people that own the place that hosts you how they'd manage their affairs.

This isn’t just political bias anymore, this is an advanced, untreated case of compulsive name dropping disorder. You saw a debate, filtered it through your blame Obi lens, and proceeded to derail the conversation like your brain is hardwired for deflection.

You're still confusing your house with a state in a sovereign nation. Let me educate you gently: a house is private property. A state is public territory governed by a constitution, not a tribal inheritance. So no, your host analogy is dead on arrival. Try again.

Let me spell it out: Lagos is not your family parlour. It is a federating unit under a democratic constitution. That means every Nigerian has equal rights there, including the right to vote, be voted for, and participate in governance. If you're struggling to grasp that, it’s because your politics is rooted in fear, not principle.

Now to your "challenge", cute move, but very predictable. You're trying to play the tired “what about your state?” card. But you forget: no state in Nigeria actively campaigns to stop fellow Nigerians from voting or running for office like Lagos politicians do. No Oba of Enugu ever threatened “drown the Hausa” if they don’t vote a certain way. No Gombe APC chieftain ever said “we don’t want Yoruba councillors.”

The reason Lagos is discussed more is because it behaves worse. Simple.

Also, if someone from Enugu runs in my state and wins based on merit and the people’s choice, I have zero problem with it, because I don’t suffer from tribal insecurity. The question is: can you do the same without screaming about ancestral lineage like you're in a Nollywood movie?

And about “Lagosians picking the non-indigenes they want”, listen to how you're sounding. You’re not even pretending anymore. You’re literally saying Nigerians in Lagos should be screened like foreigners in an embassy. That’s not democracy. That’s ethnic apartheid.

And here’s the worst part: You’re in a foreign country benefitting from the very inclusion you reject at home. You didn’t fight Americans for letting Nigerians rise, you embraced it. But back home, you’re advocating a gated tribal system. That’s the definition of cowardice. You want equity when you're the minority, and oppression when you're the majority. We see you.

So save the lectures. No matter how many times you say “go to your village,” it won’t make your double standard less obvious. You’re not defending Lagos, you’re defending a warped, insecure ideology that collapses the moment it's flipped back on you.

And don’t worry, this “liberalism” you fear so much? It’s coming. Lagos is evolving. Nigeria is evolving. And no matter how many tribal gatekeepers try to hold the door, the future doesn’t ask for your permission.

Which shows your hypocrisy. Lagos should give you what you cannot give others

Every Nigeria has equal rights in your state as well, why not do us the favor and show us the example of what you want Lagos to do.

It should be simple

Charity begins at home not from Lagos

I see it now that you're not arguing in good faith, you're just looking for a false equivalence to excuse tribal bigotry.

You keep shouting “your state, your state,” as if Nigeria runs on tribal reciprocity. Let me explain this slowly for you: rights are not conditional. I don’t have to prove how Enugu or Sokoto treats non-indigenes before an ibibio man can contest freely in Lagos. That's not how citizenship works.

This is not a barter system “you allow me in your state, I allow you in mine.” This is a constitutional democracy. If you don’t understand the difference, then maybe it’s not politics you need, it’s civic education.

Now let me address your "point": you're obsessed with governors and senators, as if inclusion is only about the top 3 seats in a state. The real question is: has my state banned, bullied, or burned down ballot boxes because someone from another tribe ran for office? Has any traditional ruler in my state threatened anyone for not voting a “son of the soil”? Have we shouted “go back to your village” when a Yoruba or Hausa man opens a shop or gets appointed?

If you have zero examples of that, then don’t compare. Because Lagos, the so-called “centre of excellence” has had ALL of that. And you’re here defending it.

You're not asking for balance. You're asking for the right to oppress freely until someone else becomes your oppressor back.

And let me hit you with this last truth: Lagos isn’t "doing us a favor" by respecting the constitution. Lagos doesn’t “give rights”, the constitution guarantees them. If your idea of fairness is “others are tribal, so let Lagos be tribal too,” then you’re not fighting for justice, you’re fighting for equal opportunity to discriminate.

So here's your answer: I don’t need to show you a tribal scoreboard. I stand on principle, not paranoia. And if that's too hard for you to digest, maybe it’s time you stop talking about leadership because tribalists like you can’t lead a modern Nigeria. You’ll only drag it backward.

Even the bot can't stop him

The post I quoted was a full sermon dedicated to Obi from your obsessed self. No one you mentioned got such an exclusive treatment. They were all mumbled together in a post, Obi got a special segment with screenshots attached

So don’t act surprised when people notice the one name that clearly lives in your head on a long term lease. If I have a detector, you sef clearly have an alarm system that is set to trigger the moment Obi’s name crosses your mind.

You’re shouting “why only Lagos” as if Lagos is a spiritual realm exempt from logic. The moment Lagos is mentioned, tribalists like you start vibrating like it’s a personal attack. Lagos is Nigeria’s commercial capital, not your ancestral shrine, so yes, we will talk about it more because its relevance is national, not village-level like some places you’re trying to compare it to.

You brought up Bianca like that’s your trump card. Oga, Bianca was opposed by a fringe group, not the state apparatus. She contested anyway because Anambra doesn’t have a legal structure blocking her. Lagos, on the other hand, has seen politicians actively push policies and campaigns built on “deport them,” “vote for our own,” and “you must be son of the soil to belong.” You know the difference, stop pretending.

And don’t act brand new, non-indigenes win elections in multiple states across Nigeria. An Edo man was once elected chairman in Delta. Hausa people hold local posts in parts of the South. Even in Enugu, a Yoruba man contested and nobody burned the state. But Lagos? You lot act like the Oba’s crown is your birthright and the rest of Nigeria should just wash plates.

You say “immigration is a privilege” yet you’re in a foreign land enjoying rights you won’t give fellow Nigerians at home. You celebrate Nigerians being elected abroad, but foam at the mouth when another Nigerian runs in Lagos. Hypocrisy is doing jumping jacks in your argument.
Let’s be clear: what’s painful is not Lagos, it’s the double standard. The fact that you want openness, inclusion, and fair opportunity when you’re the minority in America, but when the tables turn in Nigeria, you become a bouncer at the gate of “indigeneship.”

You’re not defending tradition. You’re defending tribal paranoia. And the only thing worse than a tribalist is a tribalist trying to disguise his insecurity as patriotism.
So stop pointing at other states like a guilty man trying to distract from his mess. Clean your house first before you start shouting about someone else's compound.

Lol.
