FreeStuffsNG please stop telling lies, when did they murder APC supporters in the south east?
Again on what basis in 2023 did you expect south east to vote for a party that called igbos 5% people, a party that against all advice and warning the president sanctioned a military operation called python dance that led to deaths of innocent people because they wanted to stop IPOB, that move now made people there become more sympathetic to the group.
Based on that and the fact that there was a more capable igbo candidate on LP, did you think they would vote for APC?

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

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.


🤣🤣🤣🤣

Anybody who contributes to his society and is a Nigerian deserves to hold political office in Lagos. Lagos is cosmopolitan,it’s for all of us. Its our taxes

Adexvivacity:
Its hard to let go the grip. No one wishes to lose his ancestral land to strangers. Even the Igbos in their states wont allow such penetration they have gained in Lagos and entire yoruba states. We have many Northerners as well in Lagos and they are not interested in ousting the son of the soil from his seat. Make the Igbos rest.

There are Yoruba residents in all South Eastern states. That you can't deny.

Kemi a yoruba woman is a leader of a party in the Uk, to mention but a few. Why are u people so Backward in thinking?!

sammiewrite:
So you think Igbos can give over 90% of vote to their son because they think he is capable, but Yoruba dare not give their son just a little over 50% because they too think he is capable, or for some other reason at all which they're entitled to by the laws of Nigeria?

Also, you think Igbos are justified to react to Buhari calling them 5% and the operation Python Dance, but Lagosians dare not react after several years of continuous and sustained insults and attack on everything they hold dear? Be honest, have you ever seen an Ebira, Okun, Nupe, Gbagi, Urhobo or any other Nigerian from the other over 200 tribe called Lagos a "no man's land" other than the Igbos? Was it the Hausa people that held a meeting pre 2023 election, facing the camera and declaring boldly that taking over Lagos was non-negotiable? Is it the Ijaws that said that when they take over Lagos, that they will disband the traditional leadership and will chase Lagos traditional rulers under the bridge? Should I forward an X post that one of your sisters made a couple of weeks ago where she drew comparison between areas populated by Igbos and Yorubas in Lagos, and advised Lagos visitors to avoid Yoruba populated areas?
I know your first reaction to this post would be to deny everything. Then, when I drop tweets and links, you will claim they're not Igbos; that they're Agbado/Ronu impersonators. That, or you deflect to something totally unrelated like how Tinubu has caused hunger and poverty.

FreeStuffsNG:
I am aware of a lot of Yoruba who are living and have lived in the South-East but it's same complaint that you are not receptive to outsiders. I believe this is valuable feedback that you can work on.

The Yoruba are many in the South-East but are not being reciprocated with political offices and opportunities because you want to keep everything within your own kith and kin. They perfectly understand you

The Yoruba in SE will mind their own business and not disrespect you , your culture and leaders.

Make your region friendly, safe and attractive.

There may be many Yoruba who wish to visit the South-East for leisure, tourism, business but most of them will quickly drop the idea because they don't feel safe to go there, most of their experiences are not particularly pleasant and they believe that the indigenes of South-East will not give an outsider opportunity.

Just look at the outcome of the last election nah. It's embarrassing yet you want others to open their own democratic space for you. Haba.

Hold on, did you people allow Betty Akeredolu to become a senator in Ondo?
