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.

Yorubas are fighting to keep hold of and control political power in their region, I can’t blame them.

The argument of contributing so much to Lagos and now wanting to hold elective positions doesn’t make sense. Lagos built you but you claim you’re the one building it.

Do we have Igbos handing out free meals and stipends on the streets of Lagos?

How many schools and hospitals have Easterners built and handed over to the Lagos government?

You’re running your private businesses and trade and claim you’re building Lagos.

Like someone submitted, reciprocity is key. If you want a chairmanship position in the SW, be ready to relinquish same in the SE. Or are we not all in Nigeria and contributing to Nigeria’s growth? Lagos is better than ‘home’, otherwise you won’t be in Lagos.

You can relocate back to your enclaves and make a Lagos out of it. Don’t you love your homes again?

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?

soullove1881:
You invest to make profit as well. Hausa are equally investing likewise other tribes. Enough of everyday gaslighting

She's contested in Imo, not Ondo.

Did your people allow her become Senator in Imo?

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

You guys brought this upon yourselves. Tinubu was the first pan-nigeria governor to have almost every Nigerians in his cabinet inclusive of the Igbos. His boys were propped up into Federal Cabinets. Your children turned privileges into rights and denigrated their hosts without mincing words. The greatest abuser of Tinubu are from yonder sir.
I am from Delta State,in the years to come, expect more push back from those guys because you all crossed the redline of reciprocity. Don't betray the trust of your benefactors.
