You yorubas are avoiding my question.
You people have not yet answer my question.
Lagos state government and yorubas said they are changing Lagos streets with igbo names to yoruba names to preserve their yoruba culture and now my question is if you change streets with igbos names why leave Lagos streets with Hausa and Fulani names or is this not bias or sentimental or are the Hausa and Fulani now part of yoruba culture.


Your fellow yoruba oba was the one claiming publicly that Lagos belongs to the benin people of Edo state that the oba of Benin conquer Lagos and so ask the oba of Lagos that question you are asking me

They are changing the names because you have proved yourselves to be obnoxious visitors. Everywhere you go, you clash with your hosts. You need to be reminded that Lagos is not no man’s land.

Oba of Lagos is Oba of Lagos island not Oba of Lagos state. He is not even Oba of Ikoyi.

Lagos state government did not change the street names, the local governments did. So you claims about Lagos state government are lies. This is how you people report events Such that your stories are always full of lies. That is how everybody without records of his bank account got N20 became every Ibo man got N20.

In any event we owe you no explation. You should be asking yourselves why is it always us? Weather in the North, Lagos, Ghana South Africa etc.

You are reaping the rewards of what you started and we’ve only just begun. Your children’s children will feel it.

The liberal Woke Yorubas across all strata is finally awake. Like one Ibo man told me on this forum, we have not been alive to our responsibilities.

Nonsense!

The reason is very simple and straightforward. Yorubas and Hausa have been living with mutual understanding since very long ago. The census of Lagos by the colonialist do not even have records that Igbos exited in Lagos when Hausas have been living peacefully in Lagos.

Same in Ghana too. Hausas and Yorubas have been living there since long time ago until without wahala.
living with mutual understanding but them dey knife una for mile12 and agege like ram. Oga talk another thing

Lagos state government are busy renaming streets with igbo name or igbo personality.

While they have not bother to rename streets with Hausa or Fulani names.

Is this hypocrisy or something else?
Have you seen any hausa man call lagos a no mans land? No. They don't disrespect their host. Only hairy chest beaters does that.

The most peaceful tribe in Lagos with yorubas are Igbo people they only mind there business. Lagosians have witnessed many hausa Yoruba clash that claim many live eg mile 12 clash that claim many lives and other at alaba rago side

You only rename the street. That does not stop the Igbos to buy your compound and land build what they want and put tenant.

No, it is not hypocrisy! Hausa and other tribes living in Lagos and anywhere else don't use to pass their boundaries. They are not arrogant or wish their hosts evils or chests beating everywhere. You will come to yoruba land to hussle, you will achieve your aims and then you begin to hate them and call them different bad and derogatory names. You will say their states are brown roofs despite they are sharing excesses of their money to cater for your states.

Your actions spoke louder than your voices, anywhere you are in the world; don't always cross your host's boundary, never takes their peaceful nature for stupidity. As they respect you, respect them. Don't try to arrogantly prove to them you are wiser and smarter than them,let them find out you are wise and call you when your service is needed.

They are sharing their resources and food with you, you bellefull and still holding their hands to abuse and insult them. In summary, learn not to cross your boundaries, maintain your lanes
Your victim mentality will never work here, go and Preach that to your People Who stop other Nigerians from voting in Lagos in 2023, a lot of people were beating and injured for exercising their constitutional right, why did your people refused to condemn it? Why brought up Lagos is no man’s land in 2023 during election? That word has been existing for so long time, who called Lagos no man’s land in 2023? I would appreciate your evidence, the path you guys are taking is dangerous and I hope it won’t consume you. Changing streets add or remove anything from the igbos, just a waste of time and energy, i wait your proof 😁🤣😁

They only forbid me from hawking fake drugs, pirated CDs, baby factory and selling fake products across the markets that are your known hustling. Those that made their monies through those means majority of them are now serving jail terms across prison yards worldwide why their mansions they built with illegal money ruin in waste. And even with that your make am, make am..., how many of them are among the first ten richest men in africa with facts and figures? The moment you identify arrogance,chestbeating and ungratefulness as major parts of your problems, 40% of your problems has been solved

The yorubas are afraid that if they tried to rename streets with Hausa name or Fulani names in Lagos that the Lagos state government will be impeached in the next 72hours and Hausas will stop feeding them.
. Does it mean Yoruba fear Hausa/Fulani according to your logics but see your people as inferior being they can treat anyhow?

You are just rabble-rousing.
Why didn't u ask why names of Edo, ibibio, cijaw etc were not changed? Why only igbós?

It's because those ones are cultured and respect their hosts and their boundaries.
Moreover, it's not you that will tell your hosts how to govern her affairs. Na the effects of una beliefs say "Raygus is a no man's land" still dey make u -and those that reason like you- to still feel entitled to tell sw how to govern her affairs. This disregard for your accommodators na hin dey make una dey chop all this woto-woto worldwide!

In Lagos...you dare not try them in their Mile 12..Alaba Rago kingdom...Dangote refinery axis etc etc etc. Una dey collect steady from them even inside LAGOS grin

In the SE...Army and Police sef dey collect...let alone Fulani wey dey see Allah steady.

Boast among yourselves. Everybody in NIGERIA knows the cowards. grin



Predictor3:
Are you talking about Lagos or you have shifted goalposts again as usual?

In Ife the Hausa trouble makers were slaughtered like rams. In shasha, Ibadan, the northerners had to sue for peace when they were descended upon leading to deaths. In igangan Sunday igboho boys sacked them from the area and nothing happened.

In Enugu and Ebonyi your governors start crying when northerners kill your people.
