Blackman always thinks backwards. We see what is going on in the Western world, but we are here discriminating against each other.

A naturalized citizen in the Western world will enjoy all the benefits that a natural-born citizen will enjoy, but here in Nigeria it is a different ballgame. We are discriminating against each other.

An Ibo man can't live in other regions of the country without one form of intimidation or another. The Yorubas and the northerners are facing similar issues.

Next time, I suggest you read the constitution before you comment on the constitution.


Indigenes of states is recognized by the constitution.

Section 147 (3j recognizes indigenes of states

Section 46 4 (b) 1 also differentiates between indigent citizens and citizens. Therefore recognizing indigenes as separate qualification from ordinary citizens.

The constitution under “definitions” in Part IV. Section 318 (1j also recognizes indigenes of a state as people whose grandparents were members of the community indigenous to that state. Not a member of a community in that state but a community indigenous to that state.

Under the constitution as defined in section 318, you are only recognized as “belonging” to a state if your grandparents are a member of an Indigenous community from that state.

An ibo man can never be an indigene of Lagos under the constitution no matter how long he is resident in Lagos.
Thank for educating Shinedu

Bad market for all those Ogun, Oyo and Osun people claiming Lagos 😂

We said it that time will come that the true indigines of Lagos will be separated from chaffs from other south west states claiming Yoruba is one .

Who told you that Yoruba is one?

If you're not an indigine of Lagos, you don't have the right to claim you're from Lagos. Infact, you're no different from the Chinedu from Enugu and Ahmed from Kano living in Lagos.
Especially like the Chicago boy who has stolen more than half of Lasgidi resources and holding the state by its balls cheesy cheesy cheesy

This is illegal and unconstitutional on a federal level.

The Lagos State Indigeneship Automated Certificate is a sleekly disguised form of digital discrimination.


By institutionalizing “indigene status,” the government effectively divides residents into first-class citizens and others, contradicting the 1999 Constitution’s guarantee of equality and freedom from discrimination (Section 42).

In a cosmopolitan state built by migrants, codifying ancestry into a digital gatekeeper for access to schools, jobs, or benefits is regressive. It risks excluding millions of Lagos-born Nigerians whose families migrated generations ago.

Automation doesn’t sanitize bias, it only makes discrimination more efficient.


The Attorney General of the Federation Lateef Fagbemi should step in and uphold the constitution.
If you know the person behind these shenanigans, you won’t argue with them. You will just sit down and ibserve until the whole thing backfire on them. Let them keep playing the tribal cards. My people will never cease to amaze me.

Nigeria's 1999 constitution is not supreme in some cases, take a strong example from the creation of sharia in the North which those freaks have used to unalive so many non Muslims.

It comes at a time the senate is been led by a less cognitive human as leader of that house. The laws of the land can be twisted at will to suit any narrative.

But if regional government comes in the South West

The situation might be different.

All those clowns from neighbouring states claiming Lagos causing problems and always saying 'go back to your region' will be muted from now on.

Nigeria, sha, is a very anyhow country; anything that will cause division and problems is what they always pioneer and focus on.

They will never do any meaningful project or enact laws that will benefit the common man.

Confuse section, that is initiative you get when governors creates offices to favor some people. What is benefit of state indigenship certificate to today federal government policies?

Can the indigenousship certificate save the holder from hunger, petroleum price, cheap rice, low transport fare, not paying agberos, police harassment, high rent cost, working Education system, standard hospital treatment and access to hospitals for all state citizens, stable light at affordable rates? I mean can holder of the certificate start having access to live standards life, as to compare someone that nationalize as USA or European countries citizenship? Instead it will bring boarding to the holders, because they will introduce renewal policies which must cost money.

Until the indigenousship certificate solves this problem to the holders, it still meaningless as NIN that was force to all citizens to obtain to enable tracking of citizens, yet kidnappers makes calls to victims family yet securities are not able to locate their hide out, even though the securities start killing 100 terrorist and kidnappers daily because of Trump warning.

..you have said the real intention of Lagos state in conjuction with using a yorubs man at the Federal level to bring tribalism, parapoism, nepotism & bigotry into Lagos state.. grin grin

..when other state embark on thesame line..i wonder what Nigeria will turn to...

..the actions of the people of SW towards other Nigerians has even shown that they are the ones who want out of Nigeria..they want to be on their own..because their policies & actions against the constitution of one Nigeria proves to that.. grin grin

..but why hiding under one Nigeria to want to be on your own..why not form Oduduwa republic..& make laws as they like.. grin

..they should tell their senators & rep members to push for Oduduwa republic
..afterall they also have tilumbu..their kinsman... grin

..why hiding under one nijeria..to make discriminatory laws..telling Nigerians to go back to their villages...while your politicians are collecting federal allocations & federal constituency funds derived from one Nigeria..

grin grin

I love this... Abuja should start their own and ensure that if you are not a gwari or Hausa north Central you don't get that certificate and work in any government agency in Abuja

River State should start RivCard indigenous certificate and ensure that if you aren't Rivers indigenes and if you don't bear Ijaw, Kalabari, Ikwerre and Rivers Igbo name you don't work in any company in Rivers State be it government sector, oil company etc

And I know you can't bear Femi, Yemi , Akin, Ojo and be an indigenous people of Rivers State ... And this is a good way so the people of Rivers State can actually control their destinies and bring chevron offices back to PH and also oil companies that have offices in Lagos


This is good moves


All states can do this

Let's craze together!

Illiteracy of the mind is a big disease, every state in Nigeria has office where it's citizen obtained state of origin certificate which is equivalent to citizenship certificate, so why the fuse from some people when a state moved ahead to digitalize it own office and process?

Wrong. Any Yoruba can claim Lagos, we don't mind. Coming from a true son of Lagos state.
You lied there, this will stop those from Ogun, Ondo, Ekiti, Osun and Oyo from claiming Lagos or aspiring to become Governor of Lagos and it will be easier to detect and deport them back to their villages like Sanwo olu did last year

You do not understand that yoruba is one. You cannot divide us.

1. Yoruba is a civilization and not only blood. This is why we can claim an Osimehen because he has elements of the 9 pillars of Omoluabi
2. Many yorubas have connection to Lagos on one side of the family
3. No Oyo, Ekiti, Osun or Ondo person wants to leave their idile or abandon their oriki to join themselves to a Lagos island compound. 😆
4. As Sanwo Olu so rightly put it. Lagos is the capital of Yoruba united. He just stated the reality.

Everybody should hold onto their region..
