Igbo's have and would always defend themselves anywhere and anytime.

The hatred was started by the Yorubas and Igbos haven't done a thing to you guys. They only voted for their choice as the constitution demanded of them.
grin joker, what would you have done to them in Lagos? Or you believe the lie that you have more population than Yorubas in Lagos? 😂😂😂 Una no even reach 10% of the total population of Lagos.

That's not true. The Yorubas are by far more.
But why are Yorubas panicking on anything about the Igbos, A mere olden days saying that Lagos is no man's land because of its metropolitan nature not because of multiple ownership, they have turned it into a daily tribal fight here and there.
One has to go on Facebook abi Twitter to claim Lagos was not the capital just to refute that fact. Tell me where is present day Lagos Island? In Kebbi state? It is irrefutable to say Lagos was not the Capital of Nigeria for 77 years, if you like delineate the whole of Lagos to pieces just to deny that fact. That Marina and its environ was the headquarters does not mean it was just only the FCT. Why was third mainland bridge built across the mainland? Why was the National stadium built in Surulere?. why was Nigeria's main international airport built at Ikeja, etc Una de play.
Lagos Island was to Lagos as capital what Aso Rock villa is to FCT Abuja now. So is it right to say the ASO rock is just the FCT and not the whole of Abuja? Reason am
All these are just to amuse those educated illiterates westward. They claim to be smart but have one of the highest community in UK. They are starting a tribal conflict on purpose and tomorrow they'll call for national reconciliation and integration all just because of politics and good governance which is likely to take the center.

Ali a very prominent terrorist patron is even speaking in public? It shows how weak and disdainful our system values citizens. That man should be serving with hard labor for the rest of his life for his ills.

can the yorubas alone ensure Tinubu's victory. If the yorubas don't vote for Obi and other tribes don't vote for Tinubu, will he win?

The statement that yorubas are accomodating is a fallacy. I say that because if you go to other states, there are also yorubas there or igbos or hausas there, npbody has asked them to leave which i find very absurd. The only people that have ever asked others to leave are yoruba people, even the north have not asked igbos to leave. It just happens that out of the three major tribes in nigeria, igbos are the most travlled and they do this mainly for economic benefit, that is their nature. So in a state like lagos where there is economic boom, it is jist the case where you see them alot more..period
grin have you also called other Yoruba state aside Lagos no man’s land? The reason why you are now getting the treatment you getting in Lagos is due to your ill behaviour, you come to Lagos in search of greener pastures but left that to meddle in the affairs of the Yorubas and start by being antagonistic to whatever the govt do, and also label the land and people that accommodate you will all manner of derogatory names and to top it all, your entitlement mentality. Things you can’t tolerate in your region is what you want to enjoy in yorubaland, but we are wiser now and 2027 will be a different ball game, btw proudly lagos grin

This is an open secret and reason why one particular section of this country want Igbos to bend for them before they can have peace in Lagos, one Nigeria is a scam, Obi it's better to deputize Atiku and take over power after his tenure, there's nothing like Southern presidential turn, how can Igbos take over your land when we share no boarder with each other.
SAS - Senator Alimodu Sheriff is right. It is an open fact.

Before the 2023 election, between 3rd quarter and last quarter of 2022 there was an IBO documentary about Lagos which was circulated among some IBO elites. There are two of such documentary. One is more comprehensive than the other. My friend who worked with UN in New York sent one to me. Another friend with an Africa body in Addis sent me another one I am sure he got it from another source in US. In those documentaries, the IBOS clearly stated that they are the majority TRIBE in Lagos. They said Lagos is a no man's land. They said the original owner of Lagos is Benin, Since Benin left leaving only the throne, the settlers take over Lagos. They gave historical accounts of major names and their origin . They mentioned about Jakande, Tinubu, etc and concluded that they have the highest population and investment in Lagos, therefore they should be in charge of Lagos.

As at 1992, long time ago, an Urhobo man that visited Lagos living at Orile Iganmu told my dad that Lagos would be taken over by the IBOS one day based on what he saw.

Now, Lagos is just like Dubai. In Dubai the percentage of the Native Arabs to the Immigrants is around 10% while the immigrant is around 90%. Senator Aduda in Abuja is in a very serious situation at Abuja. Buhari despite his huge Northern based supporters cannot win Abuja. Jonathan defeated him. In Dubai, in an open general election there is no way an Arab can win an immigrant.

In Lagos, the estimated percentage of the IBOS and South South is around 65% while YORUBA is around 25%, Hausas around 10%. Some of the people that speak Yoruba are not Yorubas but immigrant with loyalty to their ethnic group but YORUBAS never knew their hypocrisy. Most of the traders and artisans and area boys you find in Lagos have no electoral value to Lagos as most don't live in Lagos and nearly all of them don't vote.

Senator Alimodu Sheriff is very correct.

I just laughed at your comment that one section of the country wants IBO to bend for them to have peace in Lagos. If not for Nigeria, that is If there is no Nigeria, one section of Nigeria would have been driven away from Ghana, South Africa, Benin and Togo long time ago. The Africa countries know about Nigeria very well. South Africa and Ghana will send Nigerians home one day.

If not for Pa Ayo Adebanjo and Dr Doyin Okupe, OBI was nobody in Nigeria's politics and would have still been a nobody in Nigeria's politics till today. They fought for IBO Presidency and died for the battle.

The Christians voted for Obi, because of the Muslim-Muslim ticket and not the Ibos. The Yoruba Christians mostly.

The Sunday Igboho “Yoruba nation” group made Yoruba to stay home during the election over their claim of getting Yoruba out of Nigeria in dec 2023 and the massive rigging of the ibos are the two reasons.

YORUBAS are just about 25% of people living in Lagos the rest are immigrants. Coming to your point, they are very foolish. Baba Ayo Adebanjo carried the battle of OBI IBO Presidency as the battle of his lifetime and he died for that battle. Baba Fasoranti is still alive today to the glory of God. It was Dr Doyin Okupe that brought the case of OBI and IBO Presidency to Baba Ayo Adebanjo. It is spiritual that both died almost the same period and never witnessed Tinubu's Second Year in power.

Not all of them. We still have a lot of them that are not yet awaken to reality. We still have two Lawyers from Ekiti - one is a writer while the other makes money from making noise. They are so many of them.

The truth and reality is that YORUBAS are just about 25% of the people living in Lagos.

Modu Sheriff is a former Governor of Borno State and erstwhile National Chairman of PDP ......Obi won because of the anger and hatred built in the youths during the lekki toll gates shooting. So the youths decided all was caused by apc. So the youths wanted apc out.

grin continue deluding yourself with the long piece of garbage you wrote. I guess ibos also have more population than the indigent in all the state that he won? This obsession about Lagos Yoruba land is what is giving you greedy and covetous lot problem in Lagos and ghana grin

Even with the recent happenings in Lagos with the name change of street and public infrastructure in Lagos, Una no still won get sense and see the handwriting on the wall that the Yoruba people are being tactful and strategic in cutting you empty loud Mouth to size grin

Gone are the days you lot once got appointed as commissioners and SAs to govt and even contested and won elections into public offices in Lagos, but can you point to any public office any ibo hold in Lagos today? grin we are just beginning, the last local govt election in Lagos is also just a snippet of what to expect in 2027, we will see how your Agulu packaged fraud will sell his Muslim/Muslim propaganda in Lagos again that won him majority of the Yoruba Christian population, btw proudly lagos grin

That does not Travel outside their region, hence he hardly has facts on things in other states.. sad

In Delta, Edo, Bayelsa, Akwa-Ibom, etc, Obi was voted Massively.

Even Delta State Governor Sheriff, in his community, it was PETER OBI they voted instead of Okowa/Atiku. smiley

Igbos constitute 40% of Lagos population and that make them a majority, the remaining 60% is divided among other tribes Hausa, Ijaw, etc, with Yorubas struggling to grab 45% even Egun, Awori doesn’t see theirselves as full Yorubas, if not for intimidation and violence against Igbos in elections, Igbos will almost all senate and house of rep seat in Lagos.
That's why Igbo won all the seats in the last local government elections in Lagos State. grin

I'm going to summarize this whole thread as due to Sherrif’s terrible English. Anybody who thinks there are more ethnic Igbos in Lagos than Yorubas is not a logical person that anybody should debate with. Sheriff probably meant to say that more Igbos in Lagos voted for Obi than any other group (the Yoruba majority included) in Lagos. See the confidence with which the person below is saying complete rubbish 👇🏿

kettykin:
Definitely the number of igbos is more than any other group but this again is not a good thing.

The smartest igbos who are neither in the classroom of universities or overseas are likely in the corporate and business rooms of Lagos and Abuja. This is the real brain drain. We need to reverse it

Igbos, Yorubas and Northerners chest beat and I don't know why Igbos own should deny most of you sleep in that your brown leaking roof room.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is not true otherwise show us your proof? Few Igbos took to the street to protest over the injustice melted on them during governorship election Lagos in 2023, and many igbos and those perceived to be Igbos was beaten for excising their constitutional right to vote, is it a crime to vote in your country? stop spreading lie’s on Nairaland
