If such can be reciprocated in Anambra and Abia, it would be a good development.
Yes, but unfortunately you can hardly see Yoruba in Amara or Aba, reason be that they don't travel, and hate going to another man's land especially where Yoruba language is not widely spoken they always feel lost and unsafe.

But Igbos are everywhere in Lagos, speaking even Yoruba language that you can hardly tell they aren't Yoruba, so yes they deserve political office in Lagos. Thank you.

So because you are given enabling environment to enjoy your business, the way to thank your host is by demanding to rule over them? I want peace but no one wants to be taken for a ride .

[quote author=Christistruth03 post=136083649][/quote]You are yet to answer my questions, who were those who invaded the oba palace and destroyed properties, chased out lagosians from their home?

Those arrested, what ethnicity were they from?

We don't need video of where an igbo asked you to burn your family house or something, we need video of where igbo were destroying properties, invaded the palace and chased lagosians out of Lagos.....

So if I ask you to kill your family, you will go ahead with such act and say I was the one who did it?

Irony1:
Oga since we have started this conversation, you are the one calling Lagos No man's land. For the past 6months it is still you guys calling Lagos No man's land. The reality is that the No man's land statement came from Lateef Jakande in his speech as Lagos governor in 1979.

Again no igbo man will say they will chase traditional rulers under the bridge when they take over Lagos. Anyone who said it on twitter if you do a proper investigation it is a Yoruba man using a fake profile with an igbo name to cause hatred. At least you people started confessing when the policies of Tinubu's regime started hitting you all.
You surely must have mistaken me for one of those Yoruba Buts and GenZs that you conquered with propaganda and gaslighting, hence your "hatred" tag. However, if you had been a little more observant, you will know that you're responding to someone who knows the Igbo man very well because as you can see, you did everything I predicted in my previous reply, including sneaking Tinubu in!

Now, to you mentioning conversation.
Sorry to disappoint you, but I didn't quote you because I wanted to have a conversation with you. I quoted you because I was trying to understand the colour of your delusion while projecting your hypocrisy for the whole world to see.

Like, you're funny ooo. You mean I should be conversing with someone so classless as to resort to shameless and bold faced lies as seen in the first and second paragraph of this reply that I'm quoting, just because they want to use deception to achieve their long time takeover agenda? Imagine saying "no igbo man..." I mean, there are millions of Igbo men in Nigeria. How many of them do you have control over their actions and how many can you vouch for?

You see, I have always maintained that Igbos and Fulani should be sharing the same country because they both share the same archaic expanionist mindset and suprematicist ideology. In 2025 when other ethnicities are busy seeking a way forward for themselves individually and collectively, the Igbo man is declaring "Ikwerre are Igbos" "Anioma is Igbo land" while trying to use deception to take over in Lagos.

If you live among these things, you will know how much the entitlement attitude is deeply entrenched into their mindset. They will cry victim from dawn to dusk, but they are always the provocateur. That flag will never fly anywhere in Yoruba land.
Like, I don't understand. They don't rate others at all, and I think it stems from how they see everyone else either as a rival, enemy, or their subject. They have never seen other Nigerians as fellow country men otherwise they won't feel they have monopoly to something they would condemn others for.

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.


🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yorubas are not economic migrants like your people but we have a solid number of Yorubas in the SE running their businesses diligently.
We have businesses such as...
FCMB
WEMA
GTB
CHICKEN REPUBLIC.
THE BIGGEST MALL IN THE SOUTH EAST....POLO MALL.
TRIBUNE
PUNCH.
GLO
The WINNERS,MOUNTAIN OF FIRE ETC...
And a host of others.
We have Yoruba progressive churches all over the SE,helping to alleviate their spiritual,financial and physical tribulations.
We also control the building material markets all over Nigeria.
Both in the North and South,Yorubas doing these businesses have been assimilated.Some speak fluent Hausas and Igbos that you would not believe they are Yorubas.

This is indeed true, and that's what's obtainable in a democratic system.

Now Ohanaeze, can you kindly tell us why a man from Ebonyi is forbidden from holding a political office in Anambra?☺️

How are they using deception to take over Lagos? None of you have answer this question. In the first place we buy lands, we have never taken anyone's land. No igbo man has forcefully taken your property or your women. Again I say it that politics is local because the yoruba still make up majority of the voting population in Lagos. So if an igbo man who was born in let's say Ojo local government and has lived his life there and understands the needs of the place and the locals love him and take him as one of their own. So if he contests and wins that means he wants to take over Lagos.
I think it is high time most of you do other meaningful things in life.

She's contested in Imo, not Ondo.

Did your people allow her become Senator in Imo?
I never said she contested in Ondo stop twisting information.
See why she lost the nomination to contest for senate under APC in Imo.
1. Alleged Political Intimidation and Hijacking of the Process
- Betty Akeredolu accused Imo State Governor Hope Uzodinma and APC leaders of attempting to impose a consensus candidate, bypassing a fair primary election. She claimed that aspirants were pressured to step down for a preferred candidate, which she vehemently opposed .
- She protested at the APC secretariat in Owerri, insisting on a delegate election rather than a "kangaroo consensus," but was reportedly chased out by thugs and security agents .
2. Dispute Over Delegate Lists and Electoral Fraud
- Akeredolu alleged that the delegate lists were hidden from her and other aspirants, making a transparent election impossible. She argued that the process was manipulated to favor a specific candidate without actual voting .
- She stated,"They called us and asked us to step down for one unpopular aspirant... You can’t write figures and declare somebody winner when there was no election" .

3. Gender and Outsider Dynamics**
- Despite being an Owerri indigene (from Emeabiam), some critics questioned her legitimacy as a contender because she is married to the Ondo State governor and had spent much of her political career outside Imo .
- Her strong-willed approach and refusal to back down were seen as defiance against the male-dominated political establishment in Imo, further isolating her.

4. Internal Party Politics and Uzodinma’s Influence**
- Governor Uzodinma was accused of orchestrating the primary to ensure his preferred candidate won. Betty directly confronted him, claiming he hijacked the process to control the senatorial seat .
- The APC state chapter denied her claims, stating that aspirants "with no chance" were merely advised to step down, but her camp insisted this was a cover for imposition .


I highlighted one part which buttresses the fact that politics is local. You can only vote for someone who has always been on ground and understand the needs and complexities of the place he or she is representing. No where in the reason Betty was refused nomination indicated that it was because she married a yoruba person. You people should slow down with these twisting of facts.

grin don’t mind those confused people, they insult the Yorubas and label them all derogatory names but still won’t let Yorubaland breathe…….they will always continue to be at our mercy grin what a sad time to be a yam ree grin


Go and contest in the UK then nobody is stopping you.
Kemi didn’t declare England a No man’s Land and she has sworn
allegiance to the king of England she is not insulting him and his people
like some are doing in Lagos daily even as we speak

If you comb this thread thoroughly you will definitely see their insults .

It is not by force to live with the SW people who you hate passionately

Nigeria law does allow yorubas to hold position in ibo state

ProudlyLagos:
otondo, did Betty ever indicate interest in contesting Ondo senatorial sit? She actually showed interest in that of her state, imo state but she was denied because she married a yoruba man angry that’s how primitive tribalism as eaten deep into ibo DNA
I said it in context that of she decided to contest in Ondo will you have allowed her?

Also see the below reasons why she lost nomination under APC and none pointed out to her marrying a Yoruba man, but due to the fact that he political career had been outside Imo.

1. Alleged Political Intimidation and Hijacking of the Process
- Betty Akeredolu accused Imo State Governor Hope Uzodinma and APC leaders of attempting to impose a consensus candidate, bypassing a fair primary election. She claimed that aspirants were pressured to step down for a preferred candidate, which she vehemently opposed .

Even from Ojukwu's angle. Her Husband is dead so she is not from Anambra, if she is to contest she should remarry an Anambra and contest under Anambra.

In your mind, you think you know who owns the land. It's just a matter of time.

Lagos will be totally removed from other SW states.

There are plans on the table. Besides 95% of residents of Lagos are immigrants from the rest of the country. Majority of them from Ogun, Ondo, Oyo, Osun, Ekiti, SE and SS states. The Northerners are increasing rapidly too.
grin pain is that you? Una go cry tire, we are just testing the microphone grin shebi all the state you mentioned and Lagos are on biafla map? grin what is coming is bigger than you ever thought, just reserved your tears till 2027, you will beg to return back home….btw proudly lagos grin

Bros there is no entitlement here. Politics is local amd so if you have an igbo man who was born and grew up in Agege and the local love him and accept and he is fully assimilated and speaks fluent Yoruba. Are you implying that he cannot contest for councillor?
