Benzigler:
Yoruba becomes one when it come to Lagos, how many Osun indigenes has became Governor in Ekiti state? Lagos indigenes will never be fooled
Osoba from Egbatedo beside Oshogbo in Osun state became governor of Ogun state.

The father of the deputy governor of Lagos became a King in Ogun state via maternal line.

This should not normally bother a normal person.

Ps. As per your attached picture. Thats the Eleko of Eko aka Oba of Lagos Island and not the whole of Lagos. He has also debunked the news in the screenshot as fake.

That one is a lie. Cam a lagosian go and assume control in Ekiti? Make una slow down naaa allow the real indigenous Lagosians to breathe.
Has any Lagosian told you otherwise in Ekiti so you can mention their names with proofs? When SanwoOlu made that statement, did you see any Lagosian or state assembly insulted him for saying that? No! So, why worrying yourself or are you just jealous and angry about Yoruba unity.

Yorubas are more populated than you, and yet they are more united and never fought over who own Lagos or elsewhere. If tell you this is whom they are, if you must leave peacefully with them; you have no other choice than to agree with what they want for themselves. You can go ahead to unite about making Anambra, Enugu or imo your eastern Lagos in Alaigbo too

Prince16:
The bolded is what we have been telling igbós for eons. Yoruba culture is totally different from igbós. Yorubas are one. It's igbós that always try to divide them by flying the flags of 'yoruba-christian vs yoruba moslems' 'lagos yoruba vs ekiti yoruba vs ibadan yorubas' etc.

That division that's entailed in alaigbo is what they are projecting on others.

Common sense demands that when u - as a stranger - get to a foreign land, you keep your mouth shut and don't meddle with their affairs, but ndigbos say no. And this is why igbós will continue to have problems in every locality they find themselves.
But can someone from Ekiti go to Ogun state and become a Governor?

Rivers is not for you guys. Is Rivers a Biafra land?

It's an igboland.

You people should allow Lagos be now.
I'm Igbo, but this idea of trying to enforce Lagos is a no mans land is becoming shameful.
We can have a Lagos in South East.
I said no man's land for Yoruba people.

Don't you understand it?

Can someone from Lagos or Osun state go to Ogun State and become a governor?

Honestly I don't care who becomes governor there.
But the bottom line is that Lagos has no territorial heritage.
It has no history, just like USA.

How would you know if a Lagos person migrated to Oyo or Osun etc.He and his families lived there for generations.His son becomes governor of Osun.
The same happens in Ogun,Ekiti etc and it is happening in Lagos.The underlying fact is they are Yoruba with same names,culture etc.

All of them are lagosians na cheesy No is from is Ekiti, osun, Oyo and ogun state again.

They have abandon their brown roof states just like they abandon kwara for the Fulani to take it and claim it as their land.
That should not be our business as Anambra people. We are just taking panadol for another man's headache. No one cares if someone from Umuleri starts claiming Enugu or Owerri smiley

No matter how long it take, Nigeria will one they separate into different region. Then we shall know what Ekiti , Osun state and some of there sister states will bring into the table to survive . The lagos port usage will be limited to western states. We shall also know how the maga city will survive without the revenue from the eastern and the northern industrialists . My region Niger delta have everything to exist like New York

What you wrote makes no sense, can you show me a Lagos indigene who became Governor of Ekiti, Ondo, Osun, and Oyo?

festacman:
This is a grand plot spearheaded by non indigenous Lagos Yoruba for them to dominate indigenous Lagos Yoruba in their own state.

The only one moment a true Lagos indigene was elected the Speaker of Lagos State House of Assembly, it was swiftly revised and even some indigenous traditional rulers who supported the move were sanctioned and later forgiven when they kowtowed once again in total submission.

Why is Badagry treated like an orphan in Lagos State? When will a true Lagos Indigene: an Awori, an Egun, an indigenous Egba or Ijebu become Lagos State Governor instead of people from other states? Funso William, Musuliu Obanikoro, Jimi Agbaje, etc. were all frustrated. Why should non indigenous Yoruba have access t opportunities in both their true State of Origin and Lagos while Lagos Indigenes eat crumbs in their own state. So many questions.

God never sleeps.
is that suppose to b an Ibo man's business?

Y not focus more on how anambara people will see ebonyi people as human being like them

WizardOfNG:
Precisely the point I made about their unreasonable nature. A people who have seen the future, and are looking beyond the hopelessness of 'one Nigeria', gather to discuss and plan ways forward for the people and land of the SW.

Yet it is one set of people angry and cursing. The reason is simple. They are the only folks unreasonable enough to always have an arrogantly expansionist sense of entitlement over the land and decision-making of others in their land because they feel all land is there for them to move to and dominate.

When resisted they begin to fight and insult others. So annoying!!! Are Yorubas, or anyone else for that matter, doing or have ever done similar to them in their Land?

As if they even have the sophistication, tolerance and accommodating character to minimally allow others make unencumbered headway in their region let alone Yorubas etsl develop the overbearing sense of entitlement they show others in Lagos and elsewhere.
Maybe they know they can't survive on their own. Even when they launched their ill-fated Biafra in the
60s they still had their eyes on the niger delta and Lagos . They've shown time and again that their core land is not feasible economically on its own
