Your case is easy
Bianca Ojukwu was rejected !!!
Na only mouth you get

You cannot stand people of North or SW having Political Office
In your Region, it is like Taboo for you


Even in Lagos you don’t want indigenes to have ordinary Chairmen Positions in many Market Associations
there

Is it a lie?
Banning indigenes from holding Chairmen of Market Associations in their own Markets!!!!!!!!!

Is that not high hypocrisy?

Why do you contradict yourself. Did this show that people were prevented from holding office positions. Again when you want to spread disinformation can you tell us which Market Association is that? Why do you love to deceive people?

Irony1:
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.

Judging by your logic here, any Igbo contesting in Yorubaland should be married to a Yoruba.

Haaaa!!!!! Oga take it easy with the disinformation oooo there is nothing like General electric dealers Association of Nigeria.

Eehhhh stop twisting what I said. Bianca clearly is contesting using the husband's name and pedigree and the argument here is this you are not longer married to the man because he is dead.
Even at that League of Anambra Professionals gave her the nod to contest because they felt that reason is not tenable.
I can bet you that of Bettty Akeredolu had contested for senate on Ondo, you people will raise this issue. So there's nothing odd in it and the opposition to Bianca's nomination was from Ojukwu's family not from the state, which was due to internal issues in the family.

Anybody that has ever stayed outside Nigeria ,most expecially these West African countries,will understand the importance of LAGOS.
That state is blessed.It is now i understand what the OBA of Lagos meant.So they should try to respect their host.That lagos water na real blessing.

Federal government is the host, you are not the host.

Don’t mind them
Dangote the biggest single Investor in Lagos is not complaining

But they approach Dangote to fund their elections that is power bros. Try and argue constructively.

Christistruth03:
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

Show me in the last 24months on NL where igbos called Lagos No man's land. You guys are the ones calling Lagos No man's land.

Levels1:
On this not I can't help but to conclude this people are cursed. How will you sort for a post in someone else land simply because they accommodate you guy. Can you take such in your region ? This and many more of this talks makes them becomes a target when they are suppose to lives peacefully and happily with their host instead they are trying to drag power and compete

Has anyone contested in their region and he was not allowed to vote? Please bring a documented and stop assuming.

Akanoaaa:
When you give unfortunate people too much privilege, they will turn it to right.

Those unfortunate people are wealthier than you. Again which privilege were they given? Did they not pay for everything?

Adexvivacity:
Leave UK, can you people accept that in your state? I served in Enugu and I know how I was warned to stay away when I meddled in their politics there. Are you people UK?

You served in Enugu were you are politician that you were warned to stay away from their politics? Haba you can do better than twisting stories.

Christistruth03:
It is good that they messed up on time.
Imagine what our children would have been dealing with

They would have blamed us for not prioritising their own interests and inheritance

What did they mess up? You are avoiding answering me because you don't have facts, but the truth is they way you guys are going very soon the authorities will start inviting you guys for questioning.

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

How are they gaslighting? Are the arguments not valid? Has any Yoruba man who was born and brought up in south east decided to contest for councillor and he was not voted? Please bring out a documented case.

jaymichael:
E be like say e no want better for Ohaneze and Ndigbo.

Oga do not say what will land you in trouble with the authorities.

WizardOfNG:
Precisely. Look at the thread title that shows entitlement mentality of these people through Ohanaeze's incendiary announcement:



Now remove Ohanaeze from above and replace with Arewa or the ethno-cultural organisation most ethnic groups have.

Then replace Igbo with the names of those ethnic groups their ethno-cultural organisation are insisting "deserves" office in Lagos.

Imagine the madness? This is why Senator Gbenga Daniel expressed fear that 50% of Nigerians will be living in the SW by 2050.

Clearly he has seen the danger to the SW of all Nigerians, rather than challenging misrule, fleeing their regions for Yorubaland that, along with the SS, is one region of Nigeria working fairly well.

Clearly, if this pattern continues then all non-Yoruba ethnicities, with no intention of ever returning to their region of origin, will soon begin demanding political office from Yorubas in all SW States.

But do you know that Sanwo Olu when he was campaigning for governor of Lagos said igboa deserve to hold political posts in Lagos. You didn't attack him then ooooo and it was not gaslighting oooo

Codes151:
These people are Indeed mentally unstable.

Go back and invest heavily at home then

Have you checked yourself lately? You guys own the largest voting population and yet you are scared of a minority to the point of screaming about what they said about political office. If an igbo man wins an office in Lagos who voted for him? Is it not Yorubas. Oga check yourself first before calling others mentally unstable.

[quote author=Christistruth03 post=136083649][/quote]Dude all this AI generated and manipulated no dey work again. Look for another format.

Irony1:
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?

He is 100% allowed to contest for any position he likes and it is his constituency job to vote or not vote him. So why is a Igbo socio-political group demanding for igbos to be given a spot? Put in the work and integrate into the society and the people will decide on that. You do not get to go to another man’s land and demanding you are offered a table at the corridors of power. This is logic but sadly not too many from the east apply it on a regular

WizardOfNG:
Abi OO. Why does Bianca Ojujwu low key resent Igbo men if not for their discriminatory and backwards antics? They told her she could not contest for political office in Anambra because she is not from the State.

Imagine that. Like most have now observed, Igbos are a people who have made an art of gaslighting others by making demands they are the the least interested in granting others in their land.

Today SE is the most Mono-ethnic region of Nigeria because, obviously and naturally, people avoid unwelcoming places where they do not feel conditions exist to allow them thrive.

Rather than try to remedy this undesirable character they are known for, their obsession remains keeping Igboland for Igbos alone, top to bottom, while seeking greater penetration and power in the land of others.

Let me correct that notion. Bianca never resented igbo men. Also the opposition to Bianca's nomination was from Ojukwu's family not from APGA, league of Anambra Professionals criticised the family and no one stopped her. She lost in the primaries eventually.
Opposition to Bianca's nomination was from Ojukwu's family due to their internal issues.
She eventually contested and lost in the primaries, please stop twisting facts abeg.

Have you asked yourself why they are demanding it? Also it is just a statement, you guys still have the voting power so nothing changes.
So it begs the question why all the fear mongering by some Yorubas?

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.

This is NOT TRUE. You are just over exaggerating and lying just to appear like you are making any point. The number of Igbos in Lagos is very much greater than the number of Yorubas in any south east state. If you significantly increase the number of Yorubas in Anambra State you will start hearing Yorubas in Anambra State saying what Ohaneze is saying. It's all about the influence of larger numbers. It's unfortunate that Yorubas don't have a significant number in any south east state because it would have been a totally different story today.

Irony1:
Haaaa!!!!! Oga take it easy with the disinformation oooo there is nothing like General electric dealers Association of Nigeria.

Sanwo Olu can say anything for votes. He is a politician and that is what they all do very well and by default I.e say anything to gain electoral support.

Yorubas today generally do not want Igbos gaining political positions in Lagos because they have shown their malevolent covetous, usurping and expansionist hands fully.

The little they have achieved they never fail to present as if such is done as part of a deliberste attempt at a hostile takeover of Lagos with an agenda of subjugating and "dominating" others "in their own lands".

The quoted above is their words majority of them use, even on NL, that their forefathers many decades ago, including Azikiwe and Charles Onyeama, were fond of throwing around casually and arrogantly.

They alone, of over 200 ethnic groups in Lagos, behave like this. Yorubas don fully 'ronu' and have finally seen Igbos for what they are.

Irony1:

Interestingly I am asking myself why are they demanding it? Why are Yorubas not demanding it? Why are you the only ones being singled out from here to Ghana to South Africa ? It’s just never enough is it? Could it be that the locals have a particular reason to reject the imposition of your culture on theirs? Why is your home not good enough for you to grow and prosper. Why demand to be respected in a place you and your people constantly look down on.

christistruth01:
Lagos is a Cosmopolitan city

In YORUBALAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lagos is not “No man’s land “ !!!!!!!!'


By the way
Enugu is also Cosmopolitan whether you accept it or not!!


Dangote the biggest investor in Lagos is not complaining

Oga all these fantastic headlines without the body of the article is not only deceptive but too sneaky of you.

The reason for the opposition was due to the 2002 local government transition edict which stated that the chairman must be a local of that area.
Again you omitted the fact that Alex Otti ignored this an still appointed his choice as Mayor of Aba citing merit as his reason for appointing the person. The name of the person Otti appointed is John Udeagbala from Anambra state.
Try and stop spreading misinformation and twisting facts.

But you guys demanded appointments during Jonathan regime didn't you. So what is different. Again the same discrimination is also happening between SA and Ugandans, Somali and Zimbabweans, so please do not make it an issue about the igbo man. In Ghana there was no issue about it, even before now Ghanaians have issues with Nigerian businesses and even Nigerian banks, so please that statement of yours shows that you have little understanding of the Africa dynamics.

Wait hold on where is evidence of the covertous, manipulating and usurping. Please can you bring documented evidence and do not use Zik because that one was 60s politics and even Awolowo wanted to co-opt Yoruba people into midwest and he yoo was revisited that was why midwest was created.

Little understanding? Boy I have been traveling this continent before you descended from your Pops sack. We demanded from a federal government, just like your folks also did under buhari and tinubu. Not go into Igbo state to contest for local elections. So stop with the false equivalency and deflective tactics
