[s]Igbos should stop meddling in internal affairs of Lagos State.[/b]

Lagos is Yoruba Land and it is time Igbos understand that.

Igbos should learn to be good immigrants[/s].

DeepSight:


Onitsha has neither the status of a current capital of Nigeria - (which Abuja has) or the status of a former capital of Nigeria (which Lagos was for about eighty years - the best part of a Century - as well as being the economic nerve centre and melting pot of the Nation's collective commercial energies).

That is the point sought to be made by my question, and I think you ought to meditate carefully on it.

By the way, just to help you along - I am not Igbo.

I think the Igbos should respect their host, and try and do what will bring peace and peaceful co-existence. No one will go to Aba or Onitsha and try to claim relevance or drag rights with the true indigenes of those areas. Lagos belongs to the Yoruba's, like it or not.

i dare u to do your worst..
come saturday,the igbos will vote for agbaje. stop chest beating online

DeepSight:


Fair point, but you would surely agree that Calabar was never substantive capital of Nigeria for any properly appreciable period of time in order to become the melting pot of the collective commercial and intellectual energies of an entire nation - which Lagos is.



I am aware of this, but this fact does not negate the significant impact that the status of capital had on the entirely of the expanded Lagos area.
Or does it?

Yet, the wealth from the oil in the Niger Delta feeds and pays salaries of people in Ogun, Ekiti, Oyo, Osun etc etc.... I understand your point and that's the truth, Lagos belongs to the Yorubas, but the oil of the Niger Delta belongs to the Niger Delta too,..so why is it that the entire Nigeria is using the wealth from oil...

My view is that every citizen should be free to own and control any land they find themselves in Nigeria...No one owns no land, Nigeria belongs to us all....if we can push for this, then we kill tribalism and build a true nation.

MrPresident1:


Does Abuja not belong to the Gwaris?

Omololu007:
lagos is wot it is now because of d likes of tinubu,fashola....d only place dat wia develop by d federal govt is ikoyi,vi and marina..d rest of d achievement we are seein in lagos is been achive by d likes of fashola.d military govt stopped spendin oil money in lagos afta abj was dclared d federal capital territory

Present day Abuja was created on barren land taken away from the Gwaris..However Lagos is different, the Igbos migrated here and
were accepted into the community by the locals..FACTS can never be altered or changed...Learn your history dude.......
Oba lo nile.......
Obama might be the President of the United States, but we all know those he won't dare f**k around with and they are based in the same United States...The issue of Lagos is akin...never create a situation to challenge the original owners of the land..otherwise hmmmm....

nobody is dragging lagos with lagosians, every tribe get their land and where they come from we ve always been living together with no issues until this whole election matter. how u u go feel if yorubas in the east are threaten that they will die in the river Niger.
funny enough the two people to vote re both lagosians, both sons of the land so why would oba even choose sides and as much as to make threats?

This last presidential election in lagos,
apc=55%
pdp=45%
almost all the votes , the 45% is from igbo and other south -south states.
now pdp lagos governorship candidate is Yoruba and not jonathan,
he get brothers , friends , town, local government, and him own people, so
even if apc candidate go beat am for the 55% Yoruba votes,
let him take 30%
leaving 25% for the pdp guy from Yoruba relations and friends
add 45% igbo and south - south votes
45% + 25% =70%
70% for pdp
am I seeing some people crying?
do me I do you god no go vase
it is retaliation time
and there is nothing the yorubas can do to change it.
