The murder of APC supporters and completely skewed election result from South East, unlike other geopolitical zones, during the last election says it all.

I agree that only reciprocity will assuage the true legitimate concerns of the Yoruba. Resources, including political slots, in Yorubaland are limited and contested for because it cannot even go round the Yoruba.

If you want one in Yorubaland, give one in the South-East to the Yoruba living in the South-East in exchange. Simple, just and sustainable solution.

Even during military rule and early 1990s Igbo mass exodus from Lagos that the Igbo tagged 'oso Abiola', the Yoruba never and will never outsource the economy and political engine of Lagos to non-Yoruba. With systemic institutional undermining of Lagos, weekly bomb blasts and several state-sponsored assassinations of our Yoruba leaders across Yorubaland during military eras, we had nowhere else to run to and valiantly stayed till we won and rebuilt our city before the Igbo started returning to meet a safer and more progressive Lagos. We were happy to receive everyone back to Lagos qith no hard feelings.

Learning from history, it will be unwise for the Yoruba to build a Yoruba society economic and political powerhouse on the drive of Non-Yoruba who enjoy the luxury to easily pick their bags tomorrow to migrate en masse back to their villages and towns in the South-East but if there's mutual exchange or the limited resources, there's a possible chance that Yoruba moderates may shift the needle a bit.

Lagos has benefitted immensely from diverce law abiding populace, entrepreneurial, crude oil taxes, vat & consumption taxes. The only people entitled to Lagos are the indigenes, every other person yoruba, Igbo, hausa is a settler and must respect their hosts and show good citizenship by partaking amd contesting elections

What opportunity have you given to others in your own Region?

How many Ebonyi have held Political Positions in Anambra?

Kano and Borno are also cosmopolitan and I've never seen your people meddled with their elections.

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

See this one o!

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.


👍👍

You pushed Yoruba to the wall with this outburst. You called our Obas mad and fool… you are going to rust in life, this Lagos is a Yoruba we will protect it by our last breathe. pic.twitter.com/PaDSzJaIPV

If such can be reciprocated in Anambra and Abia, it would be a good development.

ezekins:
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.

Slytiger:
I think Ohaneze Ndigbo should order the Igbo businesses that are the so called "developers" of the Lagos economy to return to the South East where they are genuinely needed.

In five years, they will build another Lagos in the East & reverse the migration westwards.

It can be done.

madridguy:
Your own state is also cosmopolitan city.

stuffs2002:
Igbo investment in Lagos is a tiny fraction of Hausa investment yet no Hausa is claiming that Lagos is No man's land. No Hausa is trying to kick out the indigenes out of Lagos. No Hausa is crying upandan

Smartcitizen:
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.


🤣🤣🤣🤣

Last time I checked, na area boys invade Oba akiolu palace, and when were Lagosian driven out of Lagos?
