Any non-indigene one thinks he's eligible should go and pick up the form and contest. If he wins, let's see who will stop him or her. It's time we scatter this country once and for all so everyone can go and build their own country because this shit-hole ain't a Country. Nobody asked anyone not to contenst in Anambra

aswani:
Clearly they do things differently in Ala Yoruba, you can't come over from Aligbo or wherever to ask them to use your own yardstick of "my town my town" to determine what they should do.

Saros, Brazilians, Itsẹkiri, Tàpá, Olukinmi, Carribeans, Yorùbá's from other places etc. They in Lagos are much more comfortable with them in their politics than with other people. What's the problem? Have you see any locals carrying banner against them, I haven't?

If that's the case, Yorubas have no business, contesting any elective position in London or USA,
There are records of Yoruba sons and daughters, who have left this shores, got established in the UK, today that have contested and won elections outside Yorubaland and Nigeria.
Why will like to give to others, what you can't accept and expect from them, what you can't give.
Tribalism in Nigerian politics started from Yorubaland with Awolowo, one would have expected that generations after him,such nasty act, would have diminished, but it's like the present day generation are into it, more than even Awolowo that started it. So shameful
The constitution of Nigeria, gave every Nigerian the right, to vote and be voted for anywhere they are. Yorubas, can as well leave their domain, get to any other part of Nigeria and contest for any elections, but they wouldn't.
Nigeria would have been a better place, if Awolowo didn't come with such a plan.
See where it has kept Nigeria now. Every election period, indigenes and non- indegene issues will come up, after election, you collect their taxes, ask them to remain where they dwell, to be counted as your residents.

Way to go!

If it cannot happen in Anambra, it should not happen in Lagos!

People with no roots to the state should not be holding positions within the state. If you feel compelled to lead, relocate back to your state of origin and lead your OWN people.

Yes, we know even our owns have failed us in leadership like the current and past governors of the state, but that does not create a room for non indigenes.

At least, have a root and name to protect. Not from nowhere!

Ok, don’t worry we will respond to that as well. Democracy has limits, you can’t use democracy to take over people’s ancestral land. It will NOT be allowed.

aswani:
As you can see from the leafleting and visiting of palaces by the indigines, that indigineship counting over residency is just around the corner and would manifest itself bynext elections.

Oga Ndigbo HOR in Ala Yoruba hooded big time, a shame that he has spoilt it for other mom indigines who might have a more inclusive mindset.

aariwa:
Story so if Abia state was a former federal capital today a person from Anambra will become a governor, persons from Enugu, Abia and Ebony will be representing them in senate and reps respectively under the guise that that Abia state is Igboland and all those representatives are from Igboland? Where does that happen? Dey play na, one day na one day

xxxx999jon:
am a Lagos Ian.. My friend is a councilor from offa Kwara state but a councilor in my own state as indigene.. Can I go to Kwara state offa and be a councilor there with no qualms.. Yes I can if i can win the vote.. If someone from offa Kwara state in the North can win an election in Lagos what's wrong with an Igbo man wining an election of they have the numbers in that area.. If the indigenes are more in numbers let them come out and vote but no one should stop non indigenes from contesting or voting. A Yoruba woman is the leader of Conservative party in the UK.
A good non Indigenes were born and brought up in Lagos.. Let's be honest and fair to ourselves, it's democracy.

BrickandLace:
Which is all they're trying to do.

the whole thing is abnormal. Why would I for example be lusting after Chidozie's father's land and block of flats in Owerri ?
As if I'm homeless and origin-less.

christistruth01:
Yayi who is now a Senator in Ogun State and is about contest to become Governor there is an Indigene of Ikeja, Lagos

Ezmans:
On election day no one will see you people where they will see you people is whee there is free food

There is nothing to list after in that region. That’s why they are scattered everywhere like there is an ongoing war over there 🤷🏾‍♀️

The HOR guy jumped on the Peter Obí LP bandwagon and won. I will repeat, after Presidential electoral results from the SE sunk in, that particular horse no longer exists to ride on. He will be kicked out next time he is up for elections as the light has been shined on him and not in a good way. Nothing to do with President Tinubu actually.

Per Chinedu Gbadebo, by the way his real name he campaigned with previously when trying for State House of Assembly, his social media Anti Yoruba outburst did him in as he too would have ridden the Peter Obi momentum then to victory.

ottersberger:
The Only reason Shinedu is not the Lagos governor today is that the gubernatorial election was held after the presidential polls.

aswani:
Also, Sanwoolu got lucky that he had an extra week, so two in total, to expose Chinedu Gbadebo's tweets.

Chinedu Gbadebo of course didn't help himself with nonsense like "not thinking in Yoruba" and doubling down on his nonsense previous Anti Yoruba tweets.

Peter Obi really should have done some due diligence on him, he was the worst person to have gotten that ticket. Lagos state would have had an LP governor by now, without a shadow of a doubt

ottersberger:
Oh well. He's Atikus problem now that he's in ADC, and he's running.

aswani:
Doherty is in ADC too, bo way Chinedu Gbadebo gets the ticket ahead of him.

May the best person win as they are only going to lose to Hamzat anyway.

aswani:
You are not responding to my point, it's nothing to do with Federal capital.

Anyway, to the point you made, clearly the people of Yorubaland are not as fixated on states or towns as we have seen Ndigbo aggressively are.

Bear in mind the same Awori that are rising up now over that Igbo HOR character will not do so if it was a Yoruba person from elsewhere and the list was full of Yoruba people from elsewhere.

First off, they won't know based on names and secondly, a Yoruba HOR person will not be that silly and blatant. That might be why Yorùbá's from all over Yorubaland live in harmony with each other especially in Lagos.

aariwa:
Why does Yoruba oneness only apply in sharing Lagos state( former federal capital with a lot of resources invested by FG over the years and development from people from every part of the country) resources if you guys are sincere? Why doesn’t the same apply to other non fortunate states like Oyo, oshun , Ondo, ekiti…? Would a man from ekiti leave his state and do the kind of ursupation we see in Lagos today in oyo or Ondo etc?

lawani:
If s place is like the size of Oyo state and have more than double the population of Oyo state including many non indigenes then they have tried. Do you want the place to be crammed with three to four times the population of Oyo state?

aariwa:
Exactly my brother, everybody whether you are from oyo or oshun or Enugu or Anambra or sokoto or zamfara should leave Lagos state resources alone for their indigenes and go and develop their states
