When you were given the opportunity, it was heavily abused and never even appreciated instead they see it as entitlement that must be given by force
When was that please

No problem. The law of reciprocity applies here!

The positions occupied by the Igbos in Lagos should first be reciprocated in the East. We have seen the vice chairmen and commissioner of Igbo extraction here, do that same thing in an Eastern state and take it a step further by appointing a Yoruba man a Local Government chairman and let's see if Lagos will not double it for you.

This is doable but you must take the lead!

How many Yorubas have businesses in the place you mentioned?

You can't stay in your brown leaking roof room and be asking for power in another region.

Come and see what others are seeing in another person region before they set up businesses and you will shut up by force.


🤣🤣🤣🤣
Okay we agreed that Yoruba don't have the number ... give Ebonyi people the chance sheybi them be igbo too ... charity beging at home

Of course they have , we remember
Rita orji represented Ajeromi ifelodun
Ben Akabueze was finance commissioner

True, especially in LGs where they have large communities. One thing though, you have to organize and push for these reforms, contest, and campaign. Ronus are out to blackmail, dominate on the basis of tribe, and use criminal means to deny people of their constitutional rights, in a country where the constitution guarantees freedom and equality to every citizen, and money and resources from one state can be used to develop another state or city.

It’s similar to what happened in the US for decades. Whites held elective positions like DAs, Sheriffs, and Mayors in communities which were predominantly black, and systemic barriers prevented blacks from running and winning. But over time as people got more informed, pushed for reforms and organized communities for activism, blacks started running for offices and are getting elected to these offices

Awesome write up. However, stop this Ronu non sense that you people are shouting up and down.
Your own discrimination is the worst on the continent of Africa !!!!!!!!!

This is a Lagos Market Association Constitution .
As you can clearly see SW indigenes have been completely excluded (banned!!!!)
from running for the Chairman or any Office in Lagos their own Yorubaland O!!!!
This has been going on for years and Ohaneze Ndigbo didn't utter a word !!!!!
How is this Democracy?!!!



Yes !! let there be reform and let everyone rule their own Region ,Markets and People!!!

We are not putting up with this nonsense ever again !!!!

So Yorubas are too friendly to Igbos I guess?

You must be a joker......

I want to give you an assignment, just pretend to be an Igbo man who wants to buy a property in any area in your region where you are not known and come back to tell us your experience.

I remember the horrible experience my younger brother had when he was building his house around Aja area Lagos State. He was so harassed by your omonile that I almost told him to forget about that building even when he has all the certified documentation from government of lands in LAGOS to build.

How many times have you people destroy and burn down Igbos shops in your region, but were they deterred?

Can you tell me how many average Yorubas has properties in the far north or inside Niger Delta?

Your people are not good in taking risk outside your region, so please don't come here to blame anyone for your lifestyle.

We have already chosen a life of determination in every part of Nigeria we choose to live not minding any nonsense thrown at us so don't come here to blame us when we succeed after taking all these risks.

How many yorubas live in anambra and abia states? The igbos in lagos have the capacity to gather a good number of votes in lagos because of their population in lagos. So it's logical to hold such view. Secondly igbos have immensely invested in lagos by way of acquisition of landed properties but go to anambra and abia states you used as comparison to know how many landed properties you can say it's owned by a yoruba person. So when you want to make comparison use logical comparison.
Election has to do with population and aligning interest.
Na by force to vote in lagos.go to ur region and vote.small time you will be claiming city which Is not ur territory. Ur region no get shame.

Then the people over there are unfriendly and not accommodating others. And yet they want others to accommodate them in foreign lands.

See children talk?

Are Chinese and other nationals not investing in Nigeria again despite the fact that we all want to Japa from Nigeria?

Igbos and the northerners are too mobile to be kept in one place that's why they are always moving from their region to another.

Can you just tell me any known clusters of the Yorubas anywhere in Nigeria? Just like you have the Northerners and the Igbos clusters.

You see the problem?

Yorubas are too gentle for allowing these nonsense talks from igbos. They dare not challenge kano and Jos people for elective positions even when they have a sizable population in those places.

They always mind their businesses over there or else they collect wotowoto.

Northerners have invested massively in Lagos, agege and with their huge numbers never for once cry for political inclusion.
