What's the meaning of all what you wrote now? We're talking of Lagos and you're talking of SW. What happened can only happen in Lagos and never in any other SW state. Why bcus, Lagos is almost for all (I don't want to say no man's land).
And talking about oil or no oil, no states in Nigerian including with their oil is richer than Lagos.

PH, Kaduna, Abuja, Jos should be more or as cosmopolitan as Lagos. Lagos only has population more than them. I believe even Enugu, Onitsha, Awka are very cosmopolitan if not moreso than Ibadan but Ibadan is far more populated. So Lagos is not the most cosmopolitan in the country

Achor1111:
Put out the log of wood in your eyes first you Yoruba people before looking for tiny particles in Igbos eye.

Funnily enough, the same people acting with self-righteous indignation over this are the same ones that got a stiff boner and celebrated on hearing no Igbo was appointed in the bigoted Sanwo-Olu led Lagos state government! Go figure!

lawani:
No. If they dominate, why have they not being winning elections back to back in the place? Igbos don't dominate anywhere in Yoruba land

They won the one of 2015 too. Tony Nwulu from Imo State who moved a bill for the "Not Too Young To Run"

The question should be, What are the other Reps Members doing with their Money?

Desmond Elliott and Co ??

I too love X.

the oil producing states are 100 times richer than Lagos.

Lagos does not have sh*t...

Lagos is richest state in the SW and if SW people don't protect the politics of Lagos state then the poverty that will hit the next generation of SW people will be brutal..

right now SW people are shouting "ebinpawa".. if they don't protect Lagos they will become paupers...

Lagos is not for all...

Lagos is only for SW people.

nobody forced non-SW people to invest in Lagos and make the SW pot big while their own pot remained small and now they want to take the SW pot by changing the politics of the state.

MasterTeeUSA:
This is a nonsense post. As long as the people are qualified, the process is open and transparent and these people were born and raised in Lagos, it is no big deal.

Here in the US, the Speaker of the House from California before her retirement was born in Baltimore MD. President Biden claims Delaware but was born in Philadephia. What we need is competent people that can commit to improving the welfare of all Nigerians...people that are detribalized. I am yoruba, but we have married into Edo and Abia. So are you saying my cousins from Abia, children of my sisters are not worthy because they bare their father's last names?

We need to move on and move forward. May God bless Nigeria. Those screaming...we need to ask them...what have they done for Yoruba Land?

Like, Subscribe and Share my foundation - IDAGBA Empowerment Foundation on YouTube.

you are not from the SW..

who you marry should not influence and stop you from investing in your own ethnicity...

the SW people on that list probably have SE mothers...

the SE has crude oil, one of the largest gas deposits in Africa, one of the largest coal deposits in Africa

while Yoruba people don't have the level of crude oil the SE have, the SW does not have gas deposits, does not have coal deposits.

when it comes to natural resources wealth the SE is extremely richer and wealthier than the SW and the rest of Nigeria and they should not be allowed to participate in politics outside the SE.

SW is significantly poorer than the SE...

so it is fuulish of SW to vote non-SW people into SW political position.

tobby98:
They won the one of 2015 too. Tony Nwulu from Imo State who moved a bill for the "Not Too Young To Run"

Still not back to back. Why they win at all in my opinion is because they are more politically active while the other people's attitude is more lackadaisical. There are over 300 ethnic groups in Nigeria and all of them are in Lagos. There is no way Igbos will form a majority in any Lagos constituency.

Goodvibes007:
I too love X.

this is what truly and really eventually caused and led to the civil war.

cyberbro:
Igbos will see nothing wrong with this, showing you that the hypocrisy in Nigeria cuts across all tribes, especially those always claiming victims. This is in a Yoruba state by the way, not an Igbo state.

Can a Yoruba rep emerge in Enugu or Imo, talk less of using state funds for sponsoring majority Yorubas in the Igbo state?

Those people who claim victims the most are the ones who would eventually abuse power the most and be selfish to their own tribe alone if they had the opportunity... Biafra itself was a war of selfishness.

If you say that Lagos is not an Igbo state meaning, that Mr Okey shouldn't have done what he did. Why is it that tinibu, gave all the Juicy political positions to yorubas? Does Nigeria as a country also belong to only yorubas?

Why is it that you lots don't like talking a dose of your own medicine?

lawani:
You are saying two opposite things. Igbos are dominant and Yoruba lost because they don't come out to vote. We can only say they are dominant if they win all the time, if not, then they are not dominant. Can you say majority of buildings in the place are owned by Igbos? That can not be possible. There are Yoruba there and there are other Nigerians there as well.

The LGA talked about has a very fair balance of Nigerians living there. It traverses Isolo, Ire-Akari, Ago/Okota, Mafoluku and Oshodi. It’s a very big local government area, with decent people. Religion is moderate and tribalism is moderate. It is one of the most peaceful local government areas in Lagos and it is quite developed. The last elections saw LP defeat APC - in Alimosho of all LGAs -, at the Presidential stage. It did not have to do with tribalism or religion, but the candidate. When it was the governorship, APC won. It did not have to do with the threat by touts, but the choice of the citizens.

Ago/Okota keeps expanding with road infrastructures and people who own houses/businesses are of different tribes. One cannot explicitly say a particular tribe is dominant. But it is incontrovertible that it is Yoruba land, with Obas, Baales and Chiefs. Chieftancy titles in those areas are not restricted to our Yoruba citizens only, as others hold Chieftancy titles there too, well respected and peaceful.

When it comes to elections, the ruling party has not always been the dominant party there. It does not have to do with the tribes, but with the people, who seem to go the individual way. Everyone in Ago/Okota, Isolo, Ire-akari, seems to know everyone. They are independent and are very unbiased when it comes to their candidates. That’s why you can see that the area is not an APC dominated area, even though APC wants the area under its absolute control. It may not be so. But the people are happy with their representatives.

They are Lagosians of Igbo Ancestry. Some of them have never been to SE, what is the fuss about. They are Lagoasians born and raised in Lagos.

I agree with the analysis but not with the earlier statement that Igbos are the majority there as if other Nigerians are barred from settling in the area. None Igbo southerners who are not Yoruba outnumber Igbos in Lagos

Goodvibes007:
Did Yoruba colonize ibos like England colonized Nigeria. Why should ibos hold political offices in Yorubaland but Ibos cannot allow a Fulani man contest for elections in Anambra or Abia state.

You people are factory fitted with gaslighting behaviors. Lmao.

Well, your mentality sounds colonized.

If Igbos hold political positions in Yorubaland, it shows that they are interested in governance. While you sleep and wait for tiny slices of Agege bread, they are working hard to build empires in the areas that they find themselves.

Have you tried to contest an election outside your area? Have you even ventured out of your one room, one window apartment to know what’s happening in the rest of the country? A very big and resounding NO. Venture out of your area and let this tribalistic mentality leave you alone.

You are factory fitted with self delusion, jealousy and bitterness at the successes of others.

Well the constitution guarantees freedom of association. Can you wipe it out?

Political positions are also economic position and this non-SW man has access to over N2billion annually...

if the SW people in that area like then they should continue to elect non-SW people then when the SW people in that area become poor then they should not complain...

People like you play football on the streets on election day as you do not have voters cards. Those of you who have voters cards, get to polling booths to wake for urgent 1k or 2k from party agents. Some of you just drink Ijebu garri and small epa and go back to sleep.

While you are sleeping, serious people are out the voting and getting the right people into positions. When they are through, you come to social media pages to shout dem don kill una finish.

No be only take to bank. Na take to Baba Ijebu.

Kalulu44:
No you're wrong, it's only in Lagos it happens. No other Yoruba speaking state that I know will vote an Igbo man let alone accept what Mr Okey did

Dey play go to ibadan and see how these people are moving. Yorubas are docile. One Edo boy is currently canvassing in the same Oshodi, They have managed to add Olanrewaju to his Iyere name.

ElevationD:
If a Yoruba representative cannot emerge in Enugu or Imo, who would you blame? You hypocrites in this country can never have peace of mind. While you shout xenophobia in South Africa, you engineer and maintain the same xenophobia inside your own country.

You are the ones who victimize others and claim to be the victims. Confused people.

While you complain that Igbos hold political positions in Yoruba land, you pretend not to know that there are Yorubas in political positions in Western countries. They are citizens of those countries and no one discriminates against them, on either the basis of their names or skin.

While the President of our country happily rewards those who worked with him to get to the position, your fickle mind has not allowed you know that those rewarded would have played roles to get the man to power. If the President does it, just like Wike, what stops others from doing the same?

By the way, the party involved is not your beloved APC. That’s not the only party open to contest such positions in Lagos state. So if his people supported him and he won, you expected him to reward APC members and your like, who voted on the basis of tribalism and religion.

Your little mind should have told you that Oshodi/Isolo is not all about Yorubas or Oshodi bus stop, where your beloved agberos and touts control. That LG covers the whole of the aforementioned area, including Ajao estate, Ire akari, Okota/Ago and Isolo, which areas are dominated by moderate and very decent Yorubas. They have lived peacefully with every other tribe for uncountable years. Those areas are dominated by people of different tribes and not the Yorubas. The area, including Ajeromi/Ifelodun, Ojo, etc, are not APC dominated areas. Ojo fell into the hands of APC in 2019 owing to the selfish performance of the then PDP people.

When people like you talk tribalism, think first. Youths like you have your minds muddled up by politicians. All Nigerians are free to contest elections anywhere that they please, if the are popular there. Our constitution guarantees that. If your people cannot contest elections outside their tribal territories, then they must check themselves. It means that they have issues mingling with others.

That’s how most of you who have not ventured beyond 7up toll gate, not to talk of Shagamu, come here to discuss what happens in other states, with no knowledge at all. You talk of river Niger and Anambra state , not knowing the location of River Niger, not to talk of the state where you have never visited.

If you lot want Nigeria to remain, then let others have peace. If not, you can all speed up the break up process and let others have their peace of mind.

All of this long story, you still ended up saying nothing...

codemaniacs:

That is your very warped poor man’s opinion. If your reason of getting to that position is “economic power”, then you delude yourself and you will keep voting for the wrong leaders.

For your information, good societies are built by good leaders and not tribalistic people. Vote for good leaders and you will be guaranteed proper development of your societies and people. It is only poor people who talk about tribalism and religion when there’s talk about building proper societies. You are like the Iranians. While others are developing their countries and practicing free trade, you build weapons of mass destruction and stagnate yourself and people. Let tribalism alone and grow up. Your politicians who pollute your minds have their children intermarrying, while your children of the poor suffer no growth.

So who they choose to led them brings them peace and happiness and that’s all. Carry your tribalism story waka see whether hungry no go finish you.

plessis:
You want to eat from tinubu and eat the little Mr okey shared to his people.

Make greed no kee you.

Don't worry. We have learned from our mistakes. It won't repeat itself. We have already activated the needed phase. The next phase is to decongest Lagos. That State is too choked by some folks.

What people are saying is Igbos are probably not ten percent of the population but they were given ninety percent of the slots. There are Yoruba in Enugu that were there when Enugu was founded. The Enugu central mosque was built by a Yoruba man

A very big shame to all yorubas who made him have is way in the first place.

How could he be given such a slot in the first place ,a Igbo man.

All this nonsense need to stop as soon as possible.
