If someone leaves hiis own culture and starts promoting another man's culture, doesn't that make the person foolish?

Some people don't read the room. As an Igbo man, stay off Yoruba culture. The only business you have with them is to do business with them.
In what capacity does the Oba have to issue an edict? Someone who is answerable to the local government chairman and can be deposed at anytime.

Nice one from Oba of Lagos. Say no to culture vulture.
Njoku should go and promote her father's culture in her region.
U guy are becoming worse than racist. The oba doesn't know what he's taking about and there nothing in the constitution that says a person from another culture cannot speak another tribes language or adopt its expressions especially if its open to other tribes.

Can you help us with the venue and date sir?
So that you will do what there? Don't over reach your boundaries ooooo. DSS is actually watching posts on NL.

Tell Njoku to hire the Lagosians that just protested today to help her out.

Meanwhile, Iyaloja general didn't change anything in Benin, she only announced Iyaloja of Edo State in accordance with her office.
Who give her the office?

Someone needs to restrain our Igbo women ...truly! How can she be so situationally unaware, is she living under a rock? she ought to know that yorubas have declared their Oduanistan republic? You left oringo to dance to owambe...how vacuous can one get! I am sure if she was naive in the past, the yoruba dragging she has received has purged her of any modicum of fraternity she thought she had with these callous people!

Nigerians were never this divided until Peter Obi ran for Presidency.
Because PO contested against Tinubu their lord that is why the hatred started. From the day PO declared to contest, the number of Yoruba hate groups on SM doubled.
Re: Oba Of Lagos Bans Igbo Appropriation Of Yoruba Culture Event by adecz: 9:13pm On Oct 07, 2025
Yorubas of Lagos are taking the
fight to Igbo's on all fronts, as directed
by the owner of Lagos, the Jagaban Borgu.


He doesn't want to be embarrassed again,
come 2027..

But this is quite childish and may lead
to breach of peace if Igbos organize
themselves to kick against the continuous
molestations by the Yorubas..

As Igbo I think all these Igbos are becoming busy bodies. Do the business that carry you come lagos, go home and sleep, if you want to promote culture go back to Igboland and do it to the fullest before you come back to lagos. Everyone want to maintain him level for lagos,you stii dey find trouble, you still dey carry your nonsense dey waka up and down like efulefu. Lagos is for Yoruba culture, you are only allowed to do business there
So what now makes it one Nigeria that Yorubas are always chanting and hating the mention of Biafra? grin grin

The Sanwo-Olu administration will always be remembered for the ethnic division he caused in Lagos.

Now we also have a 3rd class Oba talking about cultural misrepresentations.

It’s a really a sad time in history and I hope it is being documented by historians.

Never a time in the history of Lagos state as the Lagos state government pioneered hate and division among ethnic tribes.
Sorry to tell you that you obviously don't know what is cooking. Sanwó will leave in just 2 years. But the plan remains to - continue to prune the wings until they get sense

So an Imo person is more lagosian than a yoruba person huh


What do you people smoke in that part of the world?....so,why are you crying marginalization when you are more lagosian than sanwo-olu

The same you people that will claim you are greater than any other person will be crying marginalization under the same people you are greater and better than,what an Irony!
?
Then why did Lagos government deport you yorubas to osun State few years ago?

I'm not obsessed. And mind you, I'm a Yoruba man.
It is like saying an Ebonyi man will rule Anambra!

Do people really worry about other people practicing their culture?

Like as an idoma man, I'll be worried if I see an igbo man practicing idoma culture?
Yes..

A.i gets its information from the internet and they are doing everything to re-write Yoruba culture and insert themselves into Yoruba history.

Which means A.i will start giving out wrong information or igbonized version of Yoruba culture when the next generation start researching Yoruba culture.

But they don't stay off ours!... putting there nonsense ewedu mouths in our culture, saying we are bad for not giving women ancestral lands, tell them to mind their affairs as well.

It doesn't have to be in our lifetime. Time has no limit. You and I won't know what happened when we've gone.

if the next generation needs to research yoruba culture then it's probably dead.

Culture will never remain the same from generation to generation. Some aspects become stronger and others wane.

It's important to have as many people as possible to practice your culture. That's what will keep it going.

Look at religion, those religions with fewer members tend to sink.

You just can't maintain culture. Sooner people understand this the better.

Re: Oba Of Lagos Bans Igbo Appropriation Of Yoruba Culture Event by Putinofrussia: 9:30pm On Oct 07, 2025
Sometimes one wonders if Igbos are the only non Yoruba in Lagos.I think some people should amend their ways when everything they do attracts suspicion.
Ghana,South Africa etc.
Gad airpus.

My friend, we are equal stake holders in the affairs of Lagos state.

Many of you came from the fringe states of southwest and Kwara. So,why the noise.

You should stop your posturings that Lagos exclude non Westerners as stakeholders. We are equal stakeholders in sharing the patrimony.

Note this for your own good!

Racoon:
Well, nothing should concern Igbos with such events because of our wide cultural dicotomy. However, there are some points where we intersect or go apart. Some words are used colloquially to pass a message e.g Omo nna or Okoro as Yorubas often called the Igbos is not new. Same with owambe.

This will now widen the gulf some more. Handshake across the Niger should not go beyond an handshake please. The country ought to be united but alas, unity means a lot to many of us. However let the gulf continue
to widen. Let see where it leads to.
If this madness is not checked, am sorry for where we are going.

I don't see Yorubas winning except crisis. Igbos are already rooted in Lagos like the ljaws in Ibeno
Re: Oba Of Lagos Bans Igbo Appropriation Of Yoruba Culture Event by sunnytechhimsel: 9:41pm On Oct 07, 2025
Oba of Lagos abi Oba of APC, the oba that's more of political godfather than traditional ruler no be confusion be that.
