90% of those pushing this anti-Ibo hate and sentiments are not even Lagosians

That you are Yoruba doesn't make you a Lagosian, you have you own state, you migrated same way Ibos migrated

Other states will soon pay you guys back in your own coin

Tinubu won't be President forever

Let's stop this hate!

The politicians are one in corruption.
No tribal division!
But to you all the oppressed and governed by force,their puns are religion and tribe.
You will always fall for it.


Capisce?

They also messed up in Akure and recently, Ghana. Is that Lagos too? It's your cup of tea if you allow strangers look down on you in your village. Yorubas say no. You can be a useful mvmv for them
imagine one guy in one corner insulting me? Bro travel. Huasas once killed alot of yorubas in Kaduna during Ahmed markarfi tenure in Kaduna and right thinking northerners kicked against it. A wise man don't fight over land. When people lack what to do, they resort into insult in this case. Fulanis and yorubas maybe soon endangered species if care not taken. Other tribes are watching you and your likes

My fellow Nigerians, you can see who has been stoking ethnic and tribal bias all over the internet. We wake up daily to be harassed by news of tribal bashing and irrelevant stuff in our own country.

You be the judge of who has been cause bigotry in this country.
I'm ashamed to be called a Nigerian right now. This govt is doing something in the history of Nigeria we have not witnessed before. This level of tribalism is unprecedented. God help us.

It's annoying, disrespectful for some people to be forcing something they can never tolerate in their region on others. So disrespectful
You no get sense too?
Evil people are instigating violence into u and ur buying.

How can someone migrate just to vote without being registered in that state or area months back? Common sense is not common sha.

The Lagos state INEC register will be cleaned up before the next election. The nonsense that happened in 2023 won’t be allowed to ever happen again.
we are waiting. Do what you want. Remember Lagos is just a state in Nigeria. We are waiting.

Putindbutt:
Why did ibos had to transfer their PVCs to Lagos just to vote in 2023?. You were all arguing on Ali Modu Sheriff's thread but this statement by Lagos REC has corroborated the facts.
This is nonsense, pls stop. Are you saying Ibos are truly more populated here grin? Who's alimodu sheriff, someone who had contributed in no small measures towards the insecurity that had bedevelled his state? Someone who's bereft of an elderstatesman status? The message is clear. He wants to turn our ever- peaceful state into a volatile state like borno by making such an unfounded statement. If insecurity must stop in borno today, it will come from alimodu sherrif's hands cos he's the ring leader.

His antecedents have shown how incoherent he's been with facts. I remember all he said during Jonathan's regime Hes failed woefully and his lies can only catch outsiders who aren't resident here. Nigerians complained to inec that they can't be traveling far to vote where they're registered in every election and the inec listened and allowed voters move their voting locations to wherever they live for convenience sake. All tribes did this. I can't register in lagos but living in abuja and just because I want to vote, now travel down to lagos. It doesn't make sense.

I always make references to my local government in alimosho where ibos population is less than 5%. We're majorly yorubas. We voted Peter obi here. Inec is just exposing themselves as the ones who shortchanged obi in 2023 as we've always maintained,.with this kind of statement. We will vote obi again in 2027 if he contests. The earlier you guys know that tinubu isn't so popolar in lagos as you outsiders think, the better. We're learned and exposed. We don't play politics of hate or tribalism. Why not tell all yorubas living outside lagos like you too and move to lagos to vote tinubu. Abi they stop you? Iranu

grin you keep jumping everywhere yapping nonsense, which of your 5plot of erosion land is as developed and economically viable as Ibadan? Remember oyo state is just about the size of your barren region in land mass yet you lot can’t even develop the tiny region to the standard of Ibadan and you talking about developing Lagos that has Witnessed development even before your ancestors thought of migration to Lagos grin

This Una obsession with Lagos yorubaland is why you keep getting the treatment you get in Lagos, ordinary change of street name Una don Dey cry….the last local government election in Lagos has still not thought you lot anything grin Una go still collect wotowoto come 2027 btw proudly Lagos cheesy
My friend even the Ibadan you mentioned, the capital of Oyo, the teaching hospital is majorly held by Igbos , you are calling on Ibadan as of it is a State lols but is only the capital of Oyo State....

So do you know in the hinterlands of Oyo State , there are many Yorubas that can't express themselves in English language, they are backwards and have never visited Ibadan, even calling Lagos State to them is a dream that they can't wait to achieve in reality....

Once I enter Lagos State with my eyes closed, anywhere you drop me I will tell you if there are presence of Igbos there or not....

Now, apart from some hybrid areas in Lagos State and hybrid areas in Ibadan which is the capital of Oyo State, tell me any other places developed in South West grin grin grin sad shocked shocked

What does this narration tell youhuhhuh.....

Go and ask Obasanjo how he was able to run his two tenures and recorded good achievements .....he is still believing in those set of people that help him and he is still bent on supporting them even to your 🌽 fusion and amazement.....

Bro, it's not only in Nigeria, in every local election anywhere in the world, there is a measure to cross check the influence of non indigenes.

That is applicable anywhere including their region. Something they can never tolerate in their region but want to let it slide in other places
pls tell president Tinubu to divide the country. He can initiate the process, and blv me Igbo will support him 100%. This daily tribal jingoism won't solve the problem. Igbos are taking over your lands, taking over your businesses, taking over everything. Pls divide it and let Igbos go.

The constitution has given every citizen the right to live in any part of Nigeria. If you think this is an issue, then the president should divide the country and let it stop.

And this trash is coming from a Rec? Bigot stoking the embers of disaffection and bigotry. Imagine what the election rigger said : people from SE migrated to Lagos just to vote. So after the elections they went back and the migration ceased. They are no longer migrating for business but to vote. This old bigot should own up for his ignoble bureaucratic machinations aimed at disenfranchising the eligible south east residents who out of frustration decided to go for new registration and thus giving them the opportunity to disenfranchise the people in the guise of double registration. One day that Lagos political-thug-in-chief who mobilize his gans to beat legitimate voters in a broad daylight, in the full view of security operatives, international and local observers will come out to tell us that what he did was stopping illegal migrants from SE from voting.

Oga, rest! If you are tired of one Nigeria, push for its balkanization. Until then, everyone has the right to live and vote in any part of the country. That's what the constitution says.

No ethnic group has pushed for this madness we call a country to end like the Igbos. If you are tired of the contraption too, get your legislators to do the same.
So u know it should be done by legislators!!! And not individual like Nmadi kalu or sunday igboho.... And if i may ask...why isnt any legislator or governor from the east doing it..... During the last election ..east suddenly forgot the push simply cos they thought peter obi would win the election.

These people think through their anus, apparently. Does it make sense that Igbo voters migrated en masse to Lagos just to vote for Peter Obi, when the later is not contesting to become governor of Lagos State. Does it make any sense? Some people can't come to terms with the fact that Tinubu was beaten on his home turf.

I think he's correct, They migrated to Lagos even before the war in 1960 to 1965. They thought Nigeria would have worked. Now they are living in Lagos legitimately, their children and grandchildren are all Lagos indigenous people. We cannot do anything against them now because their position is backed by the laws of Nigeria. They have come to stay, FOREVER

I did transfer to the same oshodi isolo
Went there 4 times still didn't get mine, I base in Lagos, but registered in east when I was schooling.

Seems like you don't understand majority of these folks, they can never allow Tinubu divide the country, they know the worth of Igbos in the country and in Lagos state...

Check the IGR of Lagos State.....check how many Igbos are in Idomata, Oshodi markers , Alaba international market, all those high markers, the tax payed there are mostly Igbos names....

Let the Government of Lagos State produce their tax paying records, let's know if Igbo names will not be above every other tribe there ...

Yet, instead of humbling themselves and rally around those that feed them, they won't , rather they will hove all manner of propaganda and hatred on you , so that you will feel you don't have any value where they are but from the back, they still come to eat you raw..... grin grin grin

When you know these people, you will know peace...
Am happy our dear President has helped them showcase their hidden hatred against IGBOS and HAUSAS...

Can you imagine what this one is saying? A lot of people migrated to vote in Lagos to what end? This tribalism these APC minions are stoking will eventually swallow this nation if care is not taken. All because of one man Peter Obi these crooks want to destroy the whole country.
Re: A Lot Of People Migrated From The SE Just To Vote In Lagos - INEC REC by Abagworo(m): 10:23am On Jul 29, 2025
If the Yorubas want Nigeria divided because of Lagos then they should push for it and stop trying to play this cunny cunny manipulation. Every Nigerian has right to vote and be voted for wherever he or she resides until probably he or she is stripped of his or her citizenship.

If you argued about this, then you are the real ethnic bigot.

Are there no measures to cross check the influence of non indigenes in local election wherever you might have come from? Huh?

If that's applicable everywhere, why should Lagos state own be different?

See, you guys should stop forcing what you can't smell not to talk of eat on others. It's disrespectful
you all need to grow up, this whole foolishness from you guys have already become stale, the way you make it sound it's like they just moved to Lagos just to vote, when in reality these are residents of Lagos who have have lived there for years, same way others come from osun, ekiti ogun and environs. This even the first time this particular INec rec comment has been on nairaland, yet you keep repeating the same video to stair up the same ethnic hate. What level on insensitivity is this.

God bless you brother, because you are not part of them , you shall live to see your children children in good health and wealth .... Amen
Amen! I can never be part of evil. It's tinubu fighting by proxies and he's failed. This is just the beginning. We expect to see more tribal slurs as 2027 approaches and were ready for him in Lagos.

Im wondering why he's not using same resources and energy to tackle the main problem of poverty, insecurity and the economy which had bedeviled Nigerians. All they're after is themselves. It won't work again. Only f00ls will play into their hands and we have a handful of them. When we say inec shortchanged obi, we're always right . You can see what's happening now. We will stop the nonsense, come 2027. It's his tactics. shame on those who are allowing themselves to be used. All these brouhaha is because of Peter Obi. He's a threat to their lives and they can't stop him this time. Tinubu has failed woefully .This isn't a democracy anymore but tribalcrazy. God bless Nigeria.

This is the best time for ibos to write to the UN and other relevant international bodies cos their lives matter. They don't feel safe in their own country anymore. It's a good point to chart a course for cesession if they're truly serious. Days back, it was renaming igbo streets and a popular bus stop here. Yesterday it was alimodu Sheriff's inflammatory statement and today, it's inec who's supposed to be an unbiased umpire and an independent body. .
