Only reason there's poverty in the SE in 2026 is because in 1966 certain SE soldiers and leaders who had zero knowledge of economics could not forecast the oil boom that awaited the SE region and due to their superiority complex and mindset to always dominate non-SE people they ignorantly chose to destroy the regionalism that would have made every SE person filthy rich and stinky rich and start a civil war..

If oil is that huge, why is it forming thirteen percent of government revenue today? Even as the country is not yet collecting PIT? Oil is insignificant as a portion of Nigeria's GDP.

Ibadanfarmroad:
how on earth are igbos majority in oshodi/isolo? The igbos there are not even up to 10 percent. If its inclusivity why are there no edo, Hausa etc on his list ?

Oga, do you live or have you lived in Lagos before?. Abi you just dey make noise from your village?. The population of Isolo/Oshodi is predorminantly Igbo.

That's what they want you to think.

Oil is 96% of Nigeria's revenue.

Yoruba but na Ssango go endď all of una

Call it ethnic considerations or bias.. Today in Nigeria, almost every Ibo man wants an Ibo even when they call the country a zoo. So I wonder how a Yoruba become a bigot when even the Hausa man wants a fellow northerner.
Enough of the gaslighting... Anybody wey no gree say Lagos na Yoruba land, thunder faya dem

Dey calm down dey throw lies

esnbrutality:
So people learn from Tinubu that flooded the whole of Nigeria with Yoruba, but igbo man empowers his constituency members you bring tribe into it?

Support Biafra and have Peace...

Haba!

When you do things, put yourself in the shoes. You have a Yoruba man representing a constituency in one of your eastern states and he wants to send 27 people on overseas training and then all he could send are 24 people from Oyo State and only 3 from your own state. What would you say. Answer this question truthfully.

ElevationD:
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?

if SE people hold political positions in SW then it shows they are expansionists because they already have their own states in the SE that are far richer than Lagos state due to crude oil, gas and coal deposits there and it means the SW people have zero economic sense.

it also shows that they will exclude the SW people from benefits that should go to SW people and stabilize SW families and this will eventually lead to extreme poverty among SW people...

There is no local government outside Igbo land talk less of a federal constituency where Igbo is up to half of the population resident there

According to you.

Irony1:
Try and be intelligent. You guys are validating what the Moniepoint CEO said about graduates. If someone like you is not capable of deep, cognitive reasoning then there is a problem with Nigeria.
If you were deeply thinking the first question is are these guys part of his consituency and were they validated as part of the constituency? Also was there any Yoruba person in that consituency that showed interest and he was refused. If you cannot answer those questions you have no basis in accusing them of tribalism.

Are you kidding me? Do you even know the meaning of the word "cognitive reasoning"? The fact that you resorted to insults speaks to your level of understanding of the subject matter.

So somebody from the east representing a federal constituency in OSHODI Lagos State for that matter is prioritizing his tribes men over other nationals and we should not talk? You want to tell me that oshodi is dominated by the igbos? Can other nationals try this in your State without some level of backlash?

So in the whole of OSHODI only two (2) Yorubas are interested in getting trained in China? A country where a lot of people are looking to leave for better opportunities ?Why the remaining 8 or so must igbos , no other tribe like the calabars, the deltans, do business in OSHODI, only the igbos do business there? Do you hear yourself talk? Does that make sense to you?

You people would be complaining of equity, justice and fairness but when the opportunity of being equitable, fair, you give foolish excuses and now you want insult me with your cognitive reasoning rhetoric.

hahaha, oga I have a business at oshodi and my two kids were given birth to at arena market. I repeat, the Igbo population in oshodi should be 10 to 20 percent at the highest.

obembet:
A legislator representing Oshodi-Isolo II in Lagos sponsored 18 individuals for training in China—15 were Igbo, while only 3 were Yoruba.

He also facilitated a training program in South Africa for 9 participants, all of whom were Igbo, with no Yoruba beneficiaries.

Kalulu44:
I am an Igbo man though born and brought up in Lagos. In as much as I agree what this Mr Okey did was wrong in all ramifications. But it can only happen in Lagos State. No other Yoruba state except Lagos will accept this and do you know why, it's bcus Igbos too have invested so much in Lagos.
Ask yourself this question, don't you think the Oshodi/Isolo people voted for him so that they can get more of Igbo people's patronage?
.
Lastly, like I said it can only happen in Lagos State but never in the other Yoruba speaking state. I onced stayed in Oshogbo, there's a spare part market that was banned from Igbo people to own a shop there.
That should tell you something

If that can only happen in Lagos at least Lagos is still an indigenous yoruba state so they have tried can you allow that in any of your state?I Know of 2 Hausa men who contested in Ebonyi state these guys were born,bred,educated and have invested in that state(ebonyi) yet I saw how they were ridiculed and jeered at and they were eventually not voted for the story was posted here on front page like 2015 or 2016.


You people only lament when you aren't the ones doing the dominations!
Because I saw you mentioning investment up there na people wey no know una your matter go dey surprise anyway those people are gonna lurrn the hard way.

Apart from this my comments, go to the original post and see my main comments and how I lambasted my people.
Secondly if you meet me face to face, and they ask you to guess the tribe I am, you will definitely say Yoruba.
I don't look, behave and act like the average Igbo man, and I said it plainly that what the Mr Okey did was wrong.
So don't lump me up among the undoings of the Igbo tribe.
But I will still say it again, it was accepted in Lagos bcus it's a liberal state.
Tell me any other Yoruba states it has happened and I will give you one example from the east

Nigerian constitution does not list "indigenous" as criteria to register as a voter or stand for election as a candidate. Wherever you reside, work, do business and pay tax, you can register to vote and stand for election there.

Do you gerrit sir?

By the way, are the following indigenes of Lagos?

1. Bola Ahmed Tinubu
2. Olamilekan Adeola
3. Rauf Aregbesola

Also please study the attached to further educate yourself on eligibility to vote and stand elections in Nigeria.

seunmsg:
When did Ibo people become indigenous to Oshodi-Isolo federal constituency?

I wonder why my Yorubas people are like this.. Enugu person can't contest in Anambra yet noone is talking about it.
Why should Yorubas allow non-Yorubas gaslight us into surrendering our heritage and birthright in this British-made country called Nigeria.

Just look at this level of injustice on Yoruba nation.

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.

very true

He was called out for a reason.

He should thank his luck for the opportunity, just like Desmond Elliot.

You are also being given ten when your population and tax paid say you deserve 25 at the center and VAT and CIT are being taken from Yoruba land to feed other places not to talk of customs revenue and remember that it is also a thankless job. Other people indulge in activities like trading and farming that are not VATable and you have to bear the burden for everyone and if everyone is paying the tax they should pay then sharing formula still says the Yoruba will get less compared to their population

Lol I am not from SW. Please how do you know? Most of your writeups are incorrect. I am not sure you check the facts ...so you just make assumptions. Do you know Crude and Gas deposits are in SW? Fact check me

codemaniacs:
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 become 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.

I am ashamed of all the Professors in Yorubaland.. if not for Awolowo that pushed for free education majority of them benefitted from, maybe now they'd have been almajiris begging for alms on the streets.
These guys got educated, but still act like illiterates.. why can't they step up and take charge of affairs in South West to ensure Yorubas heritage and culture are well preserved.. For God sake why??

Good 😂😂

So why did you not tell your tribes forefathers to reject the idea of fusing them together with other tribes to form Nigeria at independence?

If you cry poverty, then know that it is a function of partying while others are working. It is a function of drinking while others are working. Who do you want to blame? Those who work hard to earn their living, or those who knock on the doors of the hardworking beg for money, matches, maggie cubes, pepper, etc?

benardtotti:
Assumptions is the least form of intelligence and you just showed your lack of intelligence by assuming you know who I am or what I'm capable of
Like i said quote me after elections whether that dude will still be in the green chamber .

You guys obviously dont know what is in store for you in lagos next elections.

No be only store, na supermarket.

Una yansh open for public to see. Una no get secret for life. Una own na small satchet added to one thousand naira or one cup of rice and una go surrender una life.

You have absolutely nothing that you are capable of. We already know. Babangida told us long ago that if your people say there”ll be war, he will go to bed with fear. Na mouth una get.

dragunov:
But he told you the truth. The mistake will never repeat itself again. Thank you for waking us up.

You only have one vote and nothing more. On election day na one thousand naira be your own and you go surrender yourself.

Any other thing na mouth. That’s why dem dey call una elenu.

Again I ask you one simple question. Did any Yoruba man show interest in the constituency program and he was not selected? Please tell me

Again you bring the stale lies of 1966. If truly it was what made them poor why is it that base do the context of the topic, you immediately said SE is rich? Bros stop contradicting yourself and on the issue of who destroyed regionalism. It is another lie from you because at the time of Ironsi's death we still had regional government and each military governor of the regions still controlled their resources. Gowon destroyed regionalism by creating states and centraliaing the revenues.

Let's be sincere, can any yoruba person in that consistency, who will say he/she voted for him..sure the answer is No..so next election try and vote him out if you have the number.
