Dey play!
Sometimes diplomacy is seen as cowardice, most especially to our blodas across d niger. If you never tear eye for them den go think say you dey fear them not knowing say their host just dey practice their hospitality nature.

My ppl dey talk say na the person wey ask you "wetin you fit do" you dey show workings.

DenreleDave:
U still based in ogún?

Ttalk:
Yes they are delivering laudable project, a local government just commissioned school in Lagos, tell us what your leaders are doing for your people

youngrichnigga:
Petty, this line of action continues to destroy the little unity remaining

koning:
And you plan to "reclaim Lagos" by naming a street after Bukayo Saka of Arsenal. Please go and advice your local govt. chairman. As long as Nigeria remains an indivisible, one nation, Yoruba's cannot do anything about Lagos. The worst you can do is to piss off the rest of Nigerians.

Don't forget that Tinubu and APC have just 2 years remaining in office. Why don't you people go and rename 'Ribadu Road' and Ozumba Mbadiwe on the island. Stop the pettiness.

Predictor3:
Is alaba Hausa or ibo?

Aba in Yoruba means living space in a village. Alaba should mean owner of Aba. That name probably came from the time that place was still a village. Don't let us get ahead of ourselves because of these tribal things

jaxxy:
These people are just creating confusion for people because of misplaced and misguided sycophancy

U dont change road names anyhow or for the fun of it. it is very very wrong!!! U can honor people in many other ways.

Charlie Boy bus stop is their main target

Tinubu will not be president forever.

Misplaced priority.
I thot "Raygus is no man's land"??

By now I expect y'all to take the LG chairmen and sanwoolu to court nau.

Ndi-Clowns!

Lagos was already a separate colony since 1861. Nothing to do with Azikiwe and Ojukwu. Lagos was never made a part of the Western region by the British.

It will surely revert to the same old status in the very near future. Lagos will become an FCT just like Abuja. Abuja will be political capital and Lagos will be economic capital with an appointed minister.

You think Dangote, Rabiu, Jim Ovia, Tony Elumelu etc are making all these investments in Lagos only to put it under the control of an Igboho or whatever his name is. Is the Mayor of London an English man?. It's a matter of time.

Ttalk:
Now Lagos state is beginning to take control of its affairs.

The next is to rename some market that their name has no link to the people of Lagos state.

It is high time Alaba market is changed to reflect the history of the people of Ojo. There nothing in Yoruba and Awori dialect that bears Alaba.

WizardOfNG:
You're not seeing the big picture which you should
be preparing for if you did.

The Yorubas have simply woken up after decades of slumber. They were the only one, of the four major ethnic group of Nigeria, practicing 'One Nigeria' fully in it's true essence in their land via letting Nigerians from outside the SW have freedom of business opportunities, land purchases, religious worship, association, public administration etc, etc.

It is in the SW alone that the full gamut of Nigeria's federal unity is respected with action and not mere words and rhetoric alone.

Now, the Yorubas have noted they have been victims of a monumental scam from others who take advantage of the sincerity of Yoruba to be demanding in the SW, with a sense of entitlement, what they can never offer Yorubas in their region.

All others put themselves first, second and even last openly and unapologetically in their region.

Yorubas now appreciate the folly that will be ruinous to our generations unborn, in a Nigeria becoming more hateful divided by the day, if we carry on with the 'laissez faire' attitude of 'over-sharing' everything in our land with others who are just covetous expansionist who will never grant us same gracious generosity in their region.

jaxxy:
What has tribal bigotry got to do with any of this?

Go and met ur fellow racists, tribal bigots and xenophobics for family meeting and worthless rants not me.

What’s stopping your people from splitting it to 4, must you always wait for instructions from your masters?

aswani:
I am not sure I agree with renaming things in this manner, even with Charlie Ray's bus stop. Ajeromi-Ifelodun LGA started it and now Somolu LCDA has followed on, I hope it ends there even if there is no reversal.

These places have a high Ndigbo population and it seems unfortunate that this is the clap back to Ndigbo Obidients going to Alausa to climb a pole and sing national anthem to the people working at the State Offices complex after Peter Obí won Lagos state.

I guess actions have consequences and I urge Ndi Yoruba to cool temper, ńa una bi di champion, please don't hit or hurt them anymore, bikonu!

richie240:
Hehehehehe... if there's anyone/anypeople in the world that should 'exit the chatroom' when people are complaining of bigotry/tribalism/xenophobia, na 'ndi-obidients'.

It's like someone who scored 0% in an exam berating the one who scored 50% of failing the same exam he also sat for.

jaxxy:
who is youruba ronu?

richie240:
The same pple you continuously mocked as d 'ronus'.
Now they are ronu-ing

jaxxy:
who mock? Was it not apc tinubu urchins who started shouting yoruba ronu up and down?

Yorubas don't need anyone to tell them to ronu, they know who they want irrespective of tribe or religion.

akigbemaru:
Lagos of 1861 was in care of Yorubas and Lagos of 2025 is also in care of Yorubas. It is 2 divided by 2, it is still one. Lagos was a branch office to British Accra in Ghana, but Yorubas from Sierra Leone who developed Lagos to what you see today—fought and pressed British colonists for Lagos to stay with Yoruba mainland.

Lagos slipping away from Yorubas will forever remain a quixotic dream for the non-Yorubas who dream of such!

richie240:
And who made it a derogatory term??


More like accusing the northerners of using the word "ab0kki" when we all know that the word means different thing to different ppl.

To the northerners it means 'friend' but to others it's a derogatory word used in tagging northerners.

flokii:
We warned them severally to face their home region and develop the place, they called us names.
Now that Yorubas have finally decided to "ronu", let's see how they will boast about buying up lands in South West or call Lagos no man's land.
Most Yorubas I know (myself inclusive) don't make such annoying assertions about Lagos, even though it's our home, in our home region, we still recognize the makeup of the State. It's time for Yorubas from all over to protect all Yoruba territories including Lagos State to avoid stories that touch later.

Nnamdi Azikiwe tried to separate Lagos from South West but failed, Ojukwu tried same thing from the letter he wrote to Victor Banjo describing Lagos as a colony that will be under Igbo administration once they invade South West region.
Most people don't know that the greed of Ojukwu to annex lands in South West was what fueled the civil war and got Yorubas angry, they are towing same path today thinking Yorubas can't send them pack.ing.

opamoses1:
Why would that degenerate called Charly Boy have a bus stop named after him? Good riddance to bad rubbish.

WizardOfNG:
The Yorubas now know clearly what they want, I.e regional autonomy and control of their own socio-economic direction in their land, which should be what you guys should desire also if progressive and sincere.



I.e working to make our respective regions the best homes for us instead of going to drag those of others with them in the name of comatose and discredited 'one Nigeria'.
