Fashola remains one of the few leaders with Omuluabi ethos remaining in the Southwest. Tinubu has labelled the rest as betrayers. The Yorubas should be careful not to hinge their entire political and socio-cultural future on the inordinate selfish ambition of one man

Point of correction on the emboldened, Tinubu's supporters need to be extremely careful . No decent yoruba will align with them laye! That's why we've never taken sides with them. You can never find their likes where decent omoluabis are gathered. They're more like thugs everywhere. Their activities here on NL are enough proofs. So, someone like fashola, falana, bode George, and people like us, who are this generation's breeds of omoluabis will alwsys steer clear of their nonsense

Emaka stop this your fury of ignorance, Lagos is only a political division of area for administrative purpose, the place as a whole belongs to a tribe Yoruba only, joined together by same ancestors and Language. Because someone created a state out of yoruba land then named it Lagos does not stop it from being yoruba land. Even part of Benin republic that is yoruba land by ancestor, we are not dragging it with Benin as close as they are to us, Why is Chibuke trying to grab another mans land all the way from far across river Niger.
Live your life be in peace with your host, no this lost tribe will be chest beating everywhere like donkeykong, from Lagos to Ghana and South Africa causing one trouble or the other over peoples land.

When you're done capping you show me your family land in lagos!

You think you're talking to a novice?
80% of polical office holders in lagos are not originally from lagos. Let them continue to sow the seed of discord, it will never affect the progress of the Igbos.

The real lagosians have been on Tv severally to say they have no issues with igbos it is the Yorubas from the hinterland who have highjacked lagos politics that is instigating tribal hate in lagos

Gerrard59:
I've mentioned this thing tire, you cannot impose your cultural norm of origin on another ethnic group. For instance, in Japan, it doesn't matter where you were born or your parents prefecture of origin (their own state of origin), you can become a mayor of any city provided you're a registered member in the city's council records. Someone born in Kyoto can become Tokyo's mayor if the person is registered in Tokyo's records. Your parents' origin has no basis. It's dependent on the city you're registered.

So, if Yorubas from say Kogi decide to become political office holders in Lagos, you - especially a non-Yoruba - don't have the right to challenge it.

Una no wan hear word....

I am glad you have accepted that you and your likes are not lagosians by origin.
You all have your various states like other Nigerians who reside in lagos do. So it is not your place to ask others who came like you did that they are not part of the city because you yourself are not part of the city.

If the real lagosians were to be politically in charge of lagos, the nonsense happening in lagos wouldn't be happening.

That igbos have thrived more than you in the same city you all came to hustle is not a reason to hate on him, rather you should double your hustle or learn a thing or two from him.

You are very correct.
Even though, as an Igbo, I do not entirely understand the Omuluabi concept, I believe that Fashola is pure class, and posseses the mental competence (mind you, i didn't say 'intellectual capacity' for a reason) to lead Nigeria.

Not Tinubu, Not Osinbajo...but Fashola, for me, without any doubts, represents Southwest's best material, in terms of result, temperament, ingenuity, character, knowledge and resilience, for Nigeria's presidency.

We Yorubas collectively owned Eko, which you are calling Lagos. Because at its onset, when it was mainly a judge, inhabitated by the aboriginal Yorubas, we all migrated from various Yoruba communities to settle there because of its nearness to the sea, and our trading activities with the whitemen.

That's why we have various communities within the metropolis dominated by people from different Yoruba tribes. Epe and Ikorodu by the Ijebus. Lagos Island by the Aworis, Badagry by the Eguns, Maroko by the Ijaws and Ikale, Abuse Egba by the Egbas, etcetera. Also most of the communities in Eko are being ruled by the lineage of their ancestral founders till date. They are not being ruled by the Igbos, or any other tribes, who are recent migrants, who we Yorubas hospitably allowed to own lands among us.

But the moment they are going beyond their boundary, dragging our lands with us, that is why we are now baring our tribal fangs, saying enough is enough.

If they don't like it, let them pack their bags and baggage and return back to their own ancestral lands.

Oga just face your front and paddle your canoe 🛶

If them name street after you now he no go reject am o 😭

I avoid this type of thread to avoid any emotional ethnic attack but when Fashola says Lagos history must be preserved, I am quite sure he's not talking about the renaming of streets. I strongly believe he can't descend to such nonsense.

The name of Lagos is Eko. Lagos itself is in Portugal in Europe. So, are they going to rename Lagos itself?

How about Walter Carrington Street in VI? Broad Street? Carter bridge? Where do I even begin?

All over the world, whenever and wherever someone comes from another part of town or country and build early in a location and becomes popular, the name of that person evolves as the name of the street or even town. The name could also be given if the person left a legacy in a location. So, preserving Lagos history would actually be preserving street names realized through history.

Certainly, it can't be the names of other African people in Lagos that needs to be renamed while the names of Europeans are allowed, otherwise we black race needs to be ashamed of ourselves

Not Tinubu, Not Osinbajo...but Fashola, for me, without any doubts, represents Southwest's best material, in terms of result, temperament, ingenuity, character, knowledge and resilience, for Nigeria's presidency.

I always find it funny when people try to separate Fashola from Tinubu when they are all from the same scion, including Osinbajo. I think this is where people also misunderstand the Yorubas, cos when Fashola says another thing tomorrow, then he's no longer omoluabi. Just like Aregbesola, today he's an omoluabi but tomorrow he may no longer be, according to some people

Again, many here did not read that Fashola speech adequately to understand his true position

Originalsly:
Tribalism really runs deep and is the main reason why we are making progress. Let's chew on the above. The man is not named ... but his tribe is... tribe ...the priority. The man renovated the street ...meaning the street was already there...he basically repaired it. Who built the street? ... didn't it have a name? The one who repaired the street earned the title. With this kind reasoning ...the street will need repair again and again .....so whoever repairs it earns the title . Is it not every few years streets will change name? Can one imagine the changes in the record books? ...land titles? ...house addresses? Tinubu son decides to renovate several streets....and earn the right to rename them ... can you imagine how many streets will have the same name? ...maybe a number following to distinguish one from the other?

Streets and their names have a history and this should be preserved...this is what Fashola is saying . Some streets that do not reflect our history ... no problem in renaming them...streets that celebrate the colonialists .... the oppressors.... they need to go ...but we are too colonialized to dare do such a thing .

At last, someone who finally understands the entire message!

Max24:
Why always them? South Africa protested. Recently Ghana protested. Soon, Malaysia, Indonesia will get fed up and eject them. Why only you? Something must be wrong with you. Better look inwards instead of playing the victim card. Yorubas are naturally accommodating but when you overdo they can show you their other side. Why are Hausas and Fulanis not complaining? As you lay your bed so shall you lay on it. Obi is not a good leader. Instead of uniting his people into mainstream politics, he keeps playing ethnic politics. Evidence can be seen in the last election. Got 90% of his votes from SE unlike Tinubu that worked across tribes.

Go and check the list brought back by Airpeace during xenophobia attack in SA and tell me who and who was there. Stop cutting your nose to spite your face

Dotherightthing:
I trust Fashola. He no send anybody papa.

Pigs go cry tire

And he is a pure indigenous Lagosian that pigs are 'fighting' to 'liberate' from other Yorubas o

Fash is telling you that you can't rewrite the history of Lagos because you are a Yoruba man

hotseat:
While preserving the history of Lagos State is a necessity, caution must be taken so as not to be viewed as an attack against "perceived enemies".

Any decerning observer knows that this sudden renaming of streets and roads appears to be a fallout of the false claim that Lagos is a no man's land nauseatingly brought to the fore during the last presidential election in the State.

The fact that Lagos State belongs to the Yorubas of the State notwithstanding, other Nigerians have and continue to make their various contributions towards its present economic, social and political status.


We can't afford to profess "One Nigeria" only in theory but not in practice!


Live and let others live!



The more the merrier!



@hotseat

Lagos is no longer the FCT, and it's now under the management of the state and local governments. The day we all know and understand this, the better. Lagos is not the only cosmopolitan city or town in Nigeria where Nigerians are contributing to its socio-economic and political standings.

All this hue and cry has no legal basis. When Lagos was seeking special status and recognition few years ago for more funds and derivation due to the population explosion over the years from all parts of Nigeria, all the people crying now should have supported that bill to give them a legal basis for more rights in Lagos as residents, but I guess so many were short-sighted then (I for once never supported that bill anyway cos I understood the entire scope of how far that can go). If that were achieved, it would have regulated the state and local governments on certain things they can and cannot do. Lagos is just like any other state in Nigeria as a sub-national and all residents, whether they like it or not, will be subject to its laws and creed just like residents in Kano or other parts of northern Nigeria are subject to Sharia and other practices. For example, during Ramadan, schools in some northern states were closed down for certain periods. Despite all the hue and cry, did any state reverse its decision?

States in Nigeria are sub-nationals that can determine whatever they want or need at any time, including setting up airlines, sea ports, or what have you. The idea of trying to hide under Unity to hoodwink any state to behave in a certain way is just emotion and has no legal basis. All that is needed is tact, sensitivity, and diplomacy by all for peaceful coexistence. Grandstanding and name-calling will never achieve anything.

I challenge you and your kinds to the fact that the real lagos indigenes have no qualms with Igbos but the other yorubas who came to lagos just as the igbos came are the ones doing rubbish in lagos. But their time will expire sooner.

You must have been really deprived of iodine in pregnancy to be asking these yeye questions 😂😂
