Obviously it was an irresponsible thing to say.....if they really did say it. However, when the Oba threatened death, curses and blood on Igbos, people told igbos to calm down, take it as a joke they said.


Take your own advice the take the statement of no man's land as a joke.........

lagos is not a no man's land as nowhere in africa is, but during the years it was the capital and now the commercial capital, people forfeited in favour of being a capital, to an extent they also have a claim on Lagos, even if not in the same way as a person who'svillage is in Lagos soil. people call lagos home and have contributed to it's growth.....all people in their own way have done that at the expense of their own regions and the place was also favoured by successive governments before the creation of abuja, not as a yoruba city.....but as the capital city.

Aside from all this childish nonsense now going on.......I believe it shows that intead of people going to Lagos and using their sweat there, they should have built up their own region.


They say, you can't have your cake and eat it.......now we see why

We dont need any Oba or APGA to show us that there is tribalism, on any given day even here on NL the sentiment is actually the same.....the tribalism is still as much present.

The best answer is for the Igbos to go back to their region and build it up to the extent that those insulting them now will actually marvel. The best answer for someone who despises you is to be an undeniable success. let your own region be te beneficiary of that success also, before Nigeria benefits as a country.

Such a reckless statement damages Jimi's chances more and I read somewhere some days ago that Lagos APGA were adopting Ambode.

Lagos APGA are bunch of confused sycophants. They don't even know where to pinch their tent.

I pray the party is totally wiped out. They are totally irrelevant.

cool I salute o....u be History Director cheesy
but lagos is geographically nd politically located in the SouthWest of Nigeria....so that's 1 of the reasons we Yorubas say it is a Yoruba land, not everybody knws the history of lagos nd to be sincere not many people care to know the history (Yorubas, Igbos, Hausa e.t.c)
So is it right in all sincerity for Igbos to contest for a Governorship Election nd desire to even Control Lagos Government - taking into cognisance the political tension, tribal nd maturity level of the Nigerian Nationsad

Why argue on what you do not know. In the past, I would laugh and move on but it was getting out of hand. Wars actually starts with venomous words; "Aburi accord" comes to mind. Kids wake up, get distorted stories from ignorant parents and begin to shout "Na our Land". When you play their history before them, honestly, they will shy away. As at 1872, Lagos was then a British Colony, it had an estimated population of 60,000 people, including Europeans of only 100, the Saros from Sierra-Leone, repatriated Brazilian and Cuba slaves and yoruba slaves because the British abolished slave trade and considered Lagos a free zone, but slave trade was being perpetrated secretly. Now put that population up with the present Lagos population; what is Lagos - a land full of immigrants. So why would an ignorant fool come up here and tell me he is the owner of Lagos.

Agbaje is sickening. I am so disgusted and disappointed. How can he do this? What he does not understand is that even if he wins, this people will subject his own people to the worst kind of ridicule.

If ibos love agbaje so much, they should vote the bastard in as governor in ibo land!

Anambra lords it over other alaigbo, Abia sacks y1bos from other states from its civil service. What an image indeed. Even the koma tribe cannot descend that low.

well someone is threatening deatjhto others if they should vote for a fellow yoruba man.....thats is how things like you describe begin.

i agree it was in bad taste to sack people just because they were from a particular state, but at least they were reinstated and it did not have widespread approval o the people.

Abeg the noise makers should go and rest. How many of them know their history. They just woke up and feel they are land owners, when many no even get C of O. I will only advise them to go and research their history. A small child just wakes up and begins to shout war. I have tried in the past to pacify the ignorant noisemakers because in the reality of things, it makes no sense. No, they want to feel important, no they are originally Lagosians. Let them go and read their history, many will be ashamed to called themselves Lagosians. They truly have no clue. That is why we have decided to make movies of heritage so we can all learn. I was amazed with the research and knowledge we obtained. If they knew what their ancestors went through, I mean the aworis themselves, even from their own brothers. Beating your chest and feeling proud, because the British has developed the conquered city. You just don't have any clue.

Do yourself a favour, hide in shame and research in-depth, your history. I bet my life, if you would come back here feeling proud again. I wish to state this and I do not say it to make jest. The aworis were slaves, slaves to their brothers, slaves to the Benins, slaves to the British. Their women were raped countlessly, their men forced to do hard labor and sold off as slaves. It brings nothing but tears to my eyes, the pains they went through, many afraid of what might happen to them. Go and study and stop yourself rantings.

You cannot sabotage the progress of our land. We cannot afford to hand over our blossoming state into the hands of hawkish, divisive and clannish PDP party. What has PDP done for Lagos in 16years and now they want Lagos?.

We shall not allow them to use people from across the Niger to truncate our progress. We know tha bad party and we know the fairly good. We shall stick with the fairly good that we know for now, till a better one surfaces.

Why must they even consider sacking people from the same Igbo speaking states at all? Tells so much about the unity that exists. What do.you have to say about the supremacy of Anambra people over all of you?

Very funny group of people.

Yes, pDP may have a hand in fuelling it probabiy, becuse the comment by the Oba were over orginal and coming direct. And bad-news sell pass, nobody expected such from Oba of Lagos. This is politics for you just imagine a black man using a rude words to the entire whites in America, or vis-a-vis. U already know the outcome.

We have all condemned his outburst in clear cut terms.

To answer your question, we are complying these information and trying to make a script for movie lovers. Since our schools failed to teach us history, we would not fail our children. Secondly, yes the constitution enables an Igbo resident who has spent 10 years or more or was born in a particular location to contest for election and be voted for. Election is all about the people, if majority of the people likes such person, regardless of tribe, the constitution empowers the person to govern. So the nonsense of indigenes should stop and we must learn to respect and tolerate each other and their interest. A word for the Oba.

What the Oba or some of the funny people here are doing is to build the political consciousness of the igbo ethnic group, trust me the day they know their power, there will be serious political power tussle.

So funny what one gets to read from ignorant/misinformed people. No time to run a History 101 class here but people should note that the Western Region extended to most parts of Lagos Mainland and developments were possible because of money made from cocoa and trading with Europeans. Most of the houses on the Island were built by indigenous Lagosians and returnee Yoruba slaves.

Ikeja, Mushin,Oshodi and Ilupeju industrial estates belonged to the former Western region hence a lot of Wemabod (Odua Investment) interest in those areas. The GRAs and residential estates were all planned by them. Agege, Ikorodu, Epe and Badagry also fell under the control of Western Region until Lagos State was created in 1967.

Festac (arising from Festac77),MMIA, National Theatre/Stadium and Trade Fair complex are the major investments on the mainland built by the Federal govt.

You're an idi.ot and a puss.y! Why are you talking and running ya mouth now that you're in Nigeria? Why didn't you get this brave in London?

You're just as cowardly as ya Igbo Chiefs who applauded him after the rant. When ya crippled and senile Achebe was running his mouth, why didn't you show the same disdain, before he kicked the bucket? Ditto all ya other loutish and uncultured blinkered Igbo fvckers?

Who gives a fvck you and ya non-achieving, primitive, and cannibalistic tribe, apart from when you start all ya Lagos nonsense? Do you see me on Igbotic threads, or anything that have to do with Igbos?

Just keep ya nonsense to the Awori part of Lagos. And I double dare you again, if you're as brave as you talk on here, to come get busy whenever you find ya way back to London. That's all.

I don't care about none of this shiit - if those directly involved can't put an end to it, it's none of my business. Fvcking puss.y!


Go out and play with your mates and stop being obsessed with Igbos.

You are too tribalistic with an anger issues that will mess up your life. Now stop mentioning my name here and jog on.
Ignore my posts, it wasn't posted for people like you.

Finally, stop making threats, you've never met me or know anything about me. Do not ruin your life.

Yorubas are known for wisdom, that corrupt ex police man turned local chief did not reflect that assumption and how a bully like him ended on that seat is beyond me. I would say the same thing if an Igbo man acted like that. No one should make excuses here on his behalf. He and all those bunch of phhools who applauded and patronised his silly threats should be flogged.

When you talk of history, you start with the origin of a place. All I read is a modern Lagos. A Lagos that has experience independence. I would love to dive into this but it is not related. When I talk Lagos, I mean Eko long before the Portuguese discovered the island, an era when the Benin empire was gaining prominence and spreading its powers across the atlantic, an era when the Oba of Benin was worshipped as a god and his words were laws. The only empire I would pay little notice is the Oyo empire another beautiful history story.

My take on it is the same as ya idi.otic post that the Oba of Lagos should apologise (I saw the comment) to these reprobate cannibalistic pikeys, like you're too obtuse to discern that the man has had enough from his body language. If you couldn't demystify that - since you're Yoruba, you should know that a King should never be forced to apologise. A King is an authority and he has to live and die by his words. Even as "modern" as the UK is - Prince Philip, who isn't even a crowned King (just a prince and the Queen's husband) has NEVER apologised for once for all his overbearing and over-the-top statements he makes from time to time.

The same applies to the naijababe woman, who happens to be Awori, and the one who co-signed the idi.otic, utterly dumb, and vacuous circus clown spamming everywhere with illiterate pseud-history called, "boss13". And they both turned what could've been a great thread to exude the political sagacity of Tinubu (Jagban or whatever you call his legend), into Awo Vs. Tinubu thread, with Awolowo bashing. The guy just called her Awori people slaves. Hopefully, the wisdom in reading-between-the-line in which she never exhibits regularly, in always trying too hard to be politically correct, and her superfluous pro-Nigerian nonsense.

Then you have another cowardly Igbo, gbosaa, plonker running his putrid mouth all over the thread. When the prick was still in London, and he ran his mouth the last time - I told him to come say it to my face, so I can shank half of his face off. I'll drive to wherever the fvck he's. The pu.ssy started citing some tripe about knowing some Gbenga Shittu from London who plays for Nigeria and Yoruba dons out here, with all kinds of nonsense. They take you fvckers for pricks and cowards, hence the way they talk to you. I don't know no darn Yoruba coward out here from London - unless you want to die young. I blame Awolowo for sacrificing his life, to make life better for you lot, hence you got too complacent and pseudo-sophisticated, with scavengers threatening you while spitting in ya faces. They have always warned you about Igbos (it's out there in all history books - Igbos can NEVER be trusted) - but you lot never listened.

Thank God for the military - I don't even need to live around Igbos to know what their mentality is like. I cite every danger from afar, by observing people - and the handwriting has been on the wall for a long time, but you lot are just too pseudo-sophisticated for ya own good. Let the Aworis deal with them, since they're the hungry ones who sold all their lands to Igbos.

I've got shiit to do, man. Moving houses and doing other stuffs. But I shall keep ghosting around from time to time, to read comment - till I resume duties on here in two weeks' time. Let's see how Yorubas react. And if my services are needed when it blows out of proportion - I shall honour the bird-call to defend the land of my ancestors. grin

Shalom! cool
