They have every right, they are already stakeholders in Lagos they pay taxes as well. They are fully assimilated into Lagos society. So if an Ogun man or an Osun man comes to Lagos then an igbo man too has every right to come into Lagos as well. Look according to constitution state of origin is the deciding factor. So if you are not from Lagos you have no locus standing to tell an igbo man not to participate especially when he is a stakeholder in his locality.

Well read and learn. Literally anyone can contest in Lagos. Notice how no one does it based on giving slots to a particular tribe. Will you refute your claim after this clear evidence. But a honest man does that

Big bold lie. Cite the constitution you claim. Giving as I have one directly stating opposite of your claim

Irony1:
Are we talking of buying land or election in the east? You seem too desperate because you have lost the plot. Again stop lying about the Yoruba man not allowed, I dare you to mention his name and show us his poster. See bros learn from your other colleagues to lie with finesse.

The reason I don't argue with your likes is how sentimentaly blinded you are. If I can't buy a land in the east as a foreigner , how will i be allowed to contest to govern indegenes as a foreigner.


You asked for a link. Here is one :
https://www.facebook.com/share/15e5gXKBHM/

The guy had to come out to denounce the Name " Abiola" as a guy Name because the pressure was too much. Just as we had with Rhodes Vivour.

See, i have told you. I am not part your tribal gangs be it igbo or yoruba or hausa. I don't care whatever you are, as long as we treat ourselves as humans .

Once again. Don't dish out what you can't take . If the yorubas won't allow non indegnes rule them,they shouldn't cry when other tribes doesnt allow same.


I am trying so hard to make it simple for you to understand. I believe if you do, we will put this argument to rest.

Oga I am not in any tribal gang please correct that notion. I am trying to make things clear to you that the so called fear mongering against igbos demanding more representation in Lagos politics makes no sense.

The constitution gives credence to state of origin and not region of origin. So if you are from Ogun, or any of the other SW states. You are a migrant like me. Stop deceiving yourself.

Oga stop speaking with ten sides of the mouth. The ohaneze man made a demand which is similar to the demands you people made to GEJ. Again stop trying to twist my words. I kept on hammering to you when you were trying to say it cannot happen in the east, that the dynamics of getting nominated does not warrant the fear mongering you guys are doing. Now you wan to mischievously spin what the Ohaneze person said, whereas you guys made a similar scenario in a different context demands on GEJ too.

soullove1881:
No, I responded based on the excuse you gave to Ojukwu wife.

Just get my point bro, be it Hausa Igbo or Yoruba, do your business, make your money and shun local politics. That's the best way to enjoy your host.

Happy Sunday bro 👍

Oga you have no right to make that assertion because the Nigerian constitution gives anyone the right to stand for nomination in any party and the right to vote and be voted for.

Hmmm born in Lagos to a father originally from OYO state who left Lagos after working there for more than 16 years with the whole family before I could even walk. The only connection I have with the state is managing my Airbnb property there, like I said we Yorubas respect ourselves enough to be dragging unnecessary things shamelessly outside of our communities. So except I am coming back home for Christmas for which my point of entry will be Lagos and paying taxes on property. You and I are not migrants, I simply don’t live there. Drag Lagos with the indigenes, they’ve been standing firm against you for decades, I’m pretty sure they got more decades of defiance left in them

ZoomTravels:
Sure. Unlike you, I have no reason to lie to defend the indefensible. That’s why it’s so hard to hold any good faith argument with your people, you just smear and call the other side liars. We agree with you. Igbos are god good gift to Africa and in fact the entire universe, they can do no wrong and are perfect in all things. Hope this makes you happy

..igbos are human..they are not perfect but if u have anything against them just come clean make sure u don't lay false accusations against them

nick50:

Perfect. Now name exactly one false accusation I have made? In fact forget false, name one accusation I made against them. Treat other humans as you wish to be treated should be a watch phrase for all. Respect the communities you find yourselves in and they will return in kind.

Irony1:
Oga shebi you checked and confirmed it. You already know the truth so I am satisfied.

Check watin I don't have time for what has been confirmed by people from the same region,who were denied employment opportunities

It's ok, they should continue to pursue it.

I am sure I have been repeating this is in all my replies to you you. You don't demand you can't/ won't give .

I love how there is no more Igbo Chairman, Vice Chairman or councilor in Lagos state LGA or LCDA.

If I can't allow any Yoruba to hold any position in the Abia state then it shouldn’t be different in Lagos state.

Lagos for Lagosians! pic.twitter.com/wyYZrU6wdl

Hope you understand?

Irony1:
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.

The Court Sacked him
And before that the indigenes fought him and made sure he had no rest


Good that 2002 edict must also apply in SW

sonofsteven:
When exactly was it?

You that was there as ancient of days wey you be, kindly enlighten me,the candidate and how it was abused

Let people and elders that are close to you and can speak to you in your mother tongue enlighten you about what happened for better comprehension

givedemwotowoto:
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

Don't worry with DANGOTE investment in Lagos, we will make him the Life Governor of Lagos State. What you people cannot accept you pushing it to other, Can Ebonyi person run for political office in Anambra or Enugu person in Abia?

What is the problem with this people? There are other ethnic groups living peacefully in Lagos, doing business and making it. These people are not crying or dragging any political position with the Yorubas. What exactly do these people want? This is provocative and I hope things doesn't degenerate into maximum shishi!!

JoeRizzla:
Hmmmm

Emotional blackmail everywhere, Be like say una want that ghana treatment they gave una brothers on last week abi ? Something that they haven't implemented in the eastern region they want it to be done in another man's land.

I am honestly tired of these people.

Irony1:
Those unfortunate people are wealthier than you. Again which privilege were they given? Did they not pay for everything?

Wealthier than who? Lol.. People that don't have a single representative in list of top 10 richest men in Nigeria, they only known for chest beating. Ohh, do they pay to hold a political position in other's people region?

Akanoaaa:

All the wealthy ethnicities I know in the world like the Europeans, the Americans, the Arabs, the Chinese, the Koreans, the Thais, the Japanese all have people constantly willing to migrate to their place in search of better opportunities , when has anyone in the world said to himself “time to sell off my properties” to travel to any place in the south east? I mean what truly wealthy group in the world are looking to drag land with others? Yorubas have been amassing wealth before they learnt to wear clothing and we were never comparing ourselves to them. That will be a downgrade in all seriousness

Y'all always point accusing fingers, if asked to defend it,Y'all beat around the bush... typical Nigerians
