Shut up, my friend.

Coming to the public place to rant only confirms you as being emotionally unstable. The whole world knows that the second largest ethnic group in Lagos state is unarguably Igbo.

That is because Igbos migrated to Lagos as early as the 1920s. They contributed to building the Lagos some of you migrating from your SW enclaves in the 90s and 2000 met on the ground.

My family bought our plots of land in what is known today as lekki phase 1 directly from the Elegushi family in the 1970s, where were some you and your people then?.

Why do you think Ahmed Tinubu lost Lagos, and Abuja in the last election?. The same scenarion is playing out in the FCT as we speak. While other well-meaning Nigerians firmly stood with the core message of his excellency and voted for him, including his Yoruba supporters, his Igbo people also broke in large numbers for him.

Those Igbos are Lagosians. Most were born in Lagos. A number of may not even speak Igbo fluently or know where their fathers villages are. But they know who they are. How do I know?, I've met and spoken to a good many of these brothers and sisters.

I know people like you hate to stare the truth in the face, but Lagos is as Igbo as it is Yoruba. Yes, Lagos is Yorubaland, but it was developed by all Nigerians and will continue to be inhabited by all of us until, and if the country disintegrate.

As for saying the rep member scored an own goal, that's nonsense. You are saying he is too stupid to not know who got him there in the first place.

Do you really think politicians are philanthropists?. Abeg, rest.

ultraviolet27:
But you castigated buhari and tinubu for doing that nah aren't you an hypo hypo? finish it

banku:
Igbo migrated to Lagos in the 1920s! Name them.

Here we go again with Igbotic stat. that encouraged Obi to go to Alaba Market to thank Igbo that made up the majority of Lagosians.

He woke up Lagosians and Labor lost the rest of the Election as Chinedu for Governor.

Una nor dey hia word.

HacheNoire:
These calls for nationwide attention!

Where is it done? That in a state, an opportune rep used state resources to sponsor non indigenes!

I need to visit this case and use all powers to make sure he never gets re-elected.

A big shame to the West!

Oshodi-Isolo will be an area of concentration with development and every available option now on the table.

Gboom:
This Joe rep is not wise at all, and he has set himself up for failure in his quest for reelection. He should have made this sponsorship at 50-50 so that criticism will be less. He should expect tribal gang up against him in the next election

Eriokanmi:
Shame on those attacking this man. How many reps in lagos have ever done anything close? This same guy was threatened with all manner of words during the 2023 election. What did Elliott do in surulere constituency ? He constructed a plank bridge and commissioned it, used his constituency project money to build houses and hotel. Anyone attacking this man lacks conscience.
Air Ticket to go to China alone by one person is over 2m naira, not to talk of hotel accommodation and training fees. An iboman donated the transformer at a popular street in able egba, near oja oba. A lot of our people who had money simply looked on. They still benefited from the man's kind heart. Instead of you guys to bury your head in shame, you're busy committing sin by attacking him. Someone just thought you how to give dividends of democracy to the masses instead of sharing a bag of rice and 10k and you're wailing.

I learnt he's doing it in phases. I'd only urge him to level up by increasing the number of our people in the next phase and this is still his prerogative to do, not by force. It doesn't even matter if he considered a particular tribe, so long as they're lagosians or residents here.

zinaunreal:

He is in Sokoto, I agree but your messiah is a content creator who hredsmen look in the face and killed 8 OBAs in your eegion without pity.

If your kings arent safe and your brother is President, what becomes of irrelevant noisemakers like you?

Anyway...I threw a direct challenge to you and uour region. Please start action...we want to know if you really BLEED

ibedun:
All this one na noise!!!

Like I said, you know your status, ya fada knows his status .

Nobody will take una threats seriously. Your messiah is enjoying and adjusting to his new residence in Sokoto.

Oga, stop it

christistruth01:
Lagos is Yorubaland
Yorubaland is Yoruba Homeland
and we are In our Own God Given Ancestral Land
We are not dragging your Onitsha with you

It is you who will carry your Tribalism and Nepotism back to where you came from
across the Niger

walozanga:
😂 Dreamer. Feed well first

esnbrutality:
Biafra..and you have peace and as long as everyone pays tax and even TINUBu is a PRESIDENT of NIGERIA, instead of Yorubaland, your rants are irrelevant.

christistruth01:

We are not ranting we are stating facts

Kanu that tried to burn down Lagos is in Jail in Sokoto tending to Sokoto Gudali Cows.

Lagos is Yorubaland

ultraviolet27:
so why were your people crying about tinubu filling all his tribes men in political posts since you didn't vote for him(Tinubu) too?you think say una dey wise!what is good for the geese is also good for the gander!

lawani:
99 percent of Lagos elective posts are won by the Yoruba and during the governorship, this constituency in question was won by the APC, so you don't need a soothsayer to know that there is no local government in Lagos where the Yoruba are not a majority. So because one percent of Lagos posts was won by an Igbo now means Igbos and Yorubas are on an equal footing in Lagos?

lawani:
Igbos in Lagos are not more than Hausas in population and they don't have as much economic input as Hausas who bring in cattle, foodstuffs and etc. It is only that Hausa is different from Igbo in how they approach issues. Other southerners not Yoruba outnumber Igbos in Lagos and if only Igbo vote for Igbo in Lagos, they will not be able to win anything. There might have been a time that Igbo were many in Lagos and that would be the time they did not have big cities like in the 1970s but not now anymore when they have Enugu, Owerri, Onitsha, Awka etc
What you need to do is to join the campaign for Lagos to have it's correct and fair share of seats at the center then you will be right to say it should be a free for all. Lagos should have over 50 house of rep seats and it would then be fair for every Tom, Dick and Harry to contest but if not, it means the Yoruba and Lagos indigenes are being cheated or short changed. I hope you understand. Any representation that the SE has, Lagos should be given 120 percent of it as that is what all available data say is fair.

Then don't isolate Lagos as being built by Nigerians, other states were built by Nigerians as well. If you talk about oil money then Yoruba is taking less than it puts in

ottersberger:
Again, read what you wrote again and ask yourself whether it made sense.

SonOfDSoil01:
😂😂😂😂🤣😂

Pain is that you? I must really have struck a nerve…..see long epistles wrapped in false gibberish 😂😂😂🤣🤣pls can you provide us with historical data with verifiable link to your clan that ibo migrated to Lagos in 1920?

You can tell you that lies to the marines😂😂😂 Lagos as long been existed before Nigeria and even before we made contact with the Ibos……we don’t even share border and your region is kilometre away from Lagos and Yorubaland yet you laying claims to a false propaganda probably sold to you on radio biafla 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

NwOSU, the only privilege you are enjoying in Lagos is one Nigeria…..I’m a bonafide indigene of Lagos from Lagos, my both paternal grandparents are from Lagos, my grandfather is a saro from lagos island of the egba clan while my grandmother is Egun from badagry, so no be you go Dey tell me my history, so get your fact right before coming to SM to display your ignorance

Lagos is Yorubaland and the constitution only recognise state of origin and not citizenship or residence so your number of years spent in Lagos or anywhere still don’t confer you the status of an indigene so don’t be delusional and yes ibo have a significant population in Lagos after the Yorubas but their number is still insignificant to who wins Lagos that’s why Chinedu lost and obi won because Yoruba Christian in Lagos voted as the Muslim/Muslim ticket of Tinubu but the dynamix have change and mistake will be corrected in 2027….btw proudly Lagos

lawani:
Respond with logic. I will like you to actually make your point.
There is nothing and there has never been anything special about Lagos or Kano, Jos, PH and ettc. However there is no need to be making wild claims. If you want a reliable estimate of the ethnic composition of Lagos residents then sponsor the research I described. PH, Jos, Enugu, Owerri, Kaduna etc did not exist before the British but it is Lagos that fought a war with the British that is special?

ottersberger:
I don't wanna come off as arrogant, but some of you are irredemably ignorant. Interracting with you guys will rub my IQ on the floor. I'll leave it at that. Go read some history book, then come back to argue. Finally, congratulations for recognizing that Igbo is the second biggest demography in Lagos after Yoruba from all over the Southwest, Dahomey and Togo. Take this away though, and this goes to your other colleague, without Igbo industry, Lagos sea ports would be a shadow of itsself, including the airport.

2027 elections will come upon us, God willing, and we will confirm a thing or two. Finally, It's IGBO.

idonhammer:
The question is can a typical Yoruba man leave Ogbomosho and osogbo and travel to south east. They are more comfortable in oduduwa land

E go shock you say the elders and leaders of that constituency receive training slots but they sell it to igbo people and use the proceeds for owambe party

The man can't be that stupid, something really went wrong

ultraviolet27:
I am not even particular about that but why didn't you voice out when those 2 middle belt northerners were discredited and jeered at here with their campaign posters because they contested for councillorship and chairmanship positions in ebonyi state? these men were born,bred, educated and had invested in buisness in that place o yet you guys ridiculed them and they weren't even voted for you insulted them by saying they aren't indigenous to ebonyi you never quoted that part of the constitution you posted up there then, the news was on front page twice here in 2015 so you can't even deny seeing it.

una no like to swallow quarter of the bitter pills you dish out I wondered if those men were contesting for senators and governors then how all hell would have been let loose ?Ebonyians never even minded they wanted to vote for them because they are liberal and free but you guys poisoned their mind I fear who no fear una!!

SonOfDSoil01:
😂😂😂muuumu leave Cho Cho Cho and give us historical data with verifiable link to your claim that ibo migrated to Lagos in 1920?

You clowns will just come on the internet and start making false claims just to suit your false narrative……just like I said earlier ibo number in Lagos are so insignificant to deciding who wins Lagos despite your acclaimed population and they are just about 10% of Lagos total population and that’s why Chinedu lost the governship election

And lastly to your last paragraph……lagos is an industrial state which host a lot of manufacturing companies majorly owned by Yorubas and multinationals who pay huge taxes to government and also create employment…..this is where most of lagos revenue and taxes come from and not your 2*2 shop or petty trade business…..the seaport are used by this industries to bring in raw materials and also exports goods and also they service other landlocked neighbouring countries and stop living in delusion that without you clowns, the seaport will not function or give us statistics to your flawed narrative that you traders account for the highest user of the seaport? 😂😂😂

NwOSU, talk is cheap and anyone can come on the internet to claim anything but without data of prove to back up your claim, they are just empty noise…..Lagos is Yorubaland and their is no local govt in Lagos where ibo or any group out number the Yorubas and the political and traditional power is still determined by yorubas so you can tell this lies to the marine because no one is buy them btw proudly lagos
