* You dont really have to crucify me cos am just talking from my own point of view*
As for me, I condemn the way alayeluwa HRM Oba of lagos went about to make his point. Mind you, all he wanted to do was to make a point, a vital one which is 'Lagos is a yorubaland'. Take a look at it, why is it that the oba didnt attack the hausa's like that, the southerners and the likes? Why igbo?? I think its simple, the igbo's are greedy. They want to take over the affairs of lagos. They already started laying claims to the seat of the deputy gov. Sooner than later, they will start fighting to govern lagos after they might have gotten the deputy governor post. Are they the only tribe in lagos? Seriously, I dont think u can try that in their land. And, its not suppose to be to be candid. I think the Oba felt the Igbo's are the only obstinate tribe in lagos that dont think like he does and there is this yoruba adage 'Onilu oni fe kilu e tu' meaning The owner / ruler of a town will not want its peace to be disrupted.. And the Oba really wants the progress of its people by trying to see his state not being controlled by the opposition knowing quite well it will be of a greater advantage to His people and I think he reasoned well. Onlike the igbo's who obviously lost their chance of having a senate president in this administration, due to obstinacy, under the tutelage of their oba's. The Oba knew quite well Igbo's are stubborn so, he thought that would actually make His stance which I think he needn't to have made a death threat but Oba ba lori oun gbogbo. We respect our kings. In a nutshell, Igbo's shouls always respect their hosts like the other tribes. Igbo's are lovely people esp their gals and women , and they re very industrious and funny. But, Agidi yi naani

This whole nonsense have gone too far. Can you provide a source proving the Igbos laying claim to the seat of the Deputy Governor? I don't see why you guys should feel threatened to the point of making unguarded comments and opening countless threads to make derogatory statements. They Igbos ate greedy because the won some federal seats? What stops a yoruba man from doing that in an Igbo soil if the have the population to tilt the votes to their favour. And i thought we are one Nigeria. It's a shame
