Yoruba don’t have to allow we are all Nigerians and have equal rights

Igbo’s bought everything we own in Lagos every single thing we never took anything by force

What exactly have we done wrong

Before you were born, Igbos have been contesting elections in Lagos and Yorubas in Kano, PH, Enugu etc. it isn't anything special. However when you insult Yoruba people they will respond and what you need to support is to make the SW have 45 senators at least so that there can be more positions for all to contest or how many senators do you think Lagos should have if Nigeria were fair?

mrvitalis:
So why the attack on igbos ?that are this small

Why will you abuse or attack someone and be surprised that they responded in kind? Why don't you take up the Igbos who started everything because their principal lost an election?

mrvitalis:
South Africans are angry that foreigners outcompete them and take over small businesses they are honest and I understand that igbos are masters of business pound for pound no Africa race can compete

Is that same isssue you have with igbos in Lagos ? Tell us the issue you have

Where exactly in Lagos did you outperform the Yoruba?
Real Estate - Yoruba
Hospitality -Yoruba
Religion -Yoruba
Industry - Yoruba
FinTech - Yoruba
Properties -Yoruba
Civil Service Yoruba
Governance - Yoruba
Music and Entertainment- Yoruba

Tell me with gives you this insane effontery?

mrvitalis:
The issues with Yorubas and Igbos in Lagos is what we call indigenous settlers crisis , it’s same issues we have in Ghana and South Africa.once the average settler is more successful than average indigenous people it bring resentments.

Yes Nigeria as a nations have invested over 100 billion dollars into Lagos infrastructure over the past 100 years, but if Yorubas want to control Lagos completely because the only reason they think they have Control is really because Igbos are not politically active like Hausa/Fulani
If Hausa Fulani had Igbo population in Lagos lmao it would be a different case

As it stands today constitutionally if I move to Lagos today there is nothing Oba of Lagos can do that I can’t do , absolutely nothing

If you want to take control of Lagos tell Tinubu to amend the constitution.He can even make it a law only indigenous Yorubas can vote in elections


You people always tease igbos to tell their senators to present Biafra on the National Assembly now it’s your turn to tell your representatives to present your case

You people can not intimidate igbos into Submission lmao them never born Una well

All these Igbo this Igbo that in Lagos are just noise , do the right thing

You can’t want one Nigeria on paper then get angry when the consequences happens

Another point must be made: Igbos are not the only non-Yorubas in Lagos.

Hausa, Edo, Ijaw, Nupe, Tiv, Efik, Ibibio, Igala and many other Nigerians live, trade, marry, vote and prosper in Lagos without this constant political friction.

So the question is fair: why does this Lagos argument repeatedly become an Igbo-Yoruba confrontation?

The problem may not be residence. It may be attitude.

There is a difference between settling in a place and speaking as though the host community has no history, no identity and no right to cultural sensitivity.

Nobody serious is saying Igbos should not live or succeed in Lagos. But success in another people’s homeland should come with respect, not triumphalism.

Some commentators speak as though constitutional rights mean cultural conquest. That is where the conflict begins.

Lagos is open, but Lagos is not empty. It has owners, history, language, culture and memory.

Coexistence requires humility from hosts and settlers alike.

Igbos have never claimed Lagos doesn’t belong to Yorubas no
The cultural Lagos is Yoruba

But Yorubas want to extend cultural Lagos to political Lagos

You want one Nigeria on paper but not in real life

So why does the effrontery of a people who you dominate affect you ? Why should it bother you ?

So Igbo’s attacked first ?

How exactly did igbos insult Yorubas and when did this happen

mrvitalis:

The Yorubas do not have any reason at all to attack Igbos given that who most of them supported won the Presidential elections.

However the reality is that the civil war has been going on since 1967 and is yet to end. I will concede that. The problem is that the civil war is still ongoing

So when ACN branded opposition candidates as Igbo candidates for the Lagos governor should election be what was that ?

When oba of Lagos attacked igbos ordering them to vote apc what was that ?

The same ACN patronized Igbos with appointments to the extent I and others had to make comments on this forum saying anything given to Igbos in Lagos ought to be given to the Hausa as well. The ACN is now anti Igbo?.

So the random comment of an Oba supporting the ruling party now means the Yoruba are fighting Igbos? Did the comment have any effect on the direction of Igbo votes? The state government is paying the Oba's salary so it shouldn't be a surprise that he campaigned for them and he didn't have any means to stop anyone from voting.
The traditional way for the Oba to compel people to do anything is to threaten them with something that is like the national deity which in Lagos is the lagoon

There is no record of Igbos ever having been attacked in Lagos over politics or for any other reason. Nowhere in Yoruba land has it ever happened too but rather there are reports that two Yoruba were killed by Igbo election riggers in parts of Lagos during the last Presidential elections

Political , Cultural , Historical, Spiritual, Physical, Technological, Musical , Traditional , Commercial, Financial Lagos
Everything Lagos patapata na Yoruba get am


Lagos is Yorubaland !!!!!!!

mrvitalis:
You have refused to attack my point raised

You want one Nigeria right ? Then the consequences is equal right with igbos in Lagos simple

Go and make your Kinsman the Emir of Kano then and claim one Nigeria .
Lagos is Yorubaland

Respect your hosts
It is not by force to live in Lagos

mrvitalis:
So why does the effrontery of a people who you dominate affect you ? Why should it bother you ?

Why does the buzzing of a fly disturb you despite the fact that you are bigger and stronger than it?

mrvitalis:
By telling you that in one Nigeria you agreed to we are all equal everywhere ?
Or that you can get your land only by division and separation ?

Tell me what I said that’s offensive ? Talk

We dare you to abolish Sharia Law in Kano if you think that you and the natives are equals.

They have their Laws and your state has yours
because you are unequal in beliefs Tradition and outlook to them.

What was this?
Oba of Lagos was in his own Homeland
What was ipob looking for in Lagos?

Lagos is Yorubaland
Not Biafra!!!!

RealityKings1:
All mouth till E sup for your door.

Why should you just want to intimidate any other person who is busy binding his business. Why not confront those who are taking your property by force and killing your kin?

You are the one opening useless thread to lament about the people who doesn't care whether you exist

mrvitalis:

This your useless post is an invitation for a fight. You will definitely see the war you are courting

The person I quoted is the one making the threat not me. Read his post and see the threat.

This is the bragging that brought you people into trouble in Ghana and now South Africa. You will never learn lesson until they humiliate you everywhere for trying to grab people’s lands. You left southeast that is now barren and erosion infested. You want to develop foreign lands with drug money , Abi? Your eyes will see pepper!

You’re a coward for pretending. I’m sure you know you & your people got a deep hatred for the west. I’m sure you’re among those insulting the west on this thread below;
