Oga, shut up!!! Shes entitled to make sense, unlilke you that gets sentimental at the slightest chance. She has chosen to make sense, instead

masseratti:
If you guys don't understand that article, let me help you,an average Yoruba man care less who an Igbo man vote for in Lagos but abusing the Oba of Lagos will not be tolerated by Yorubas in lagos,people present said the Oba was joking, the comment has being condemned by all,but threads bashing of the Oba continued,Yorubas will take it as a contest between Yorubas and Igbos,Yorubas still hold the Ace in Lagos,we should move forward please.

Well said. If a visitor is becoming too arrogant to the person that accommodate him,definitely he will be shown his way back to where he's coming from. I don't know how a visitor will be claming too know of another's property. The best thing is to throw them out of Lagos let them go back to their land and develop their place. At the same time I can't blame them is useless PDP that want power by all means I will blame. They are the one giving them too much popularity and they will later regret it.Is it possible for any other tribe to do all this nonsense in their state?Bunch of ingrate.Lagos give you opportunity to be part of their government by appointing you commissioners,hon and other benefits but you can't think to appreciate rather to be ungrateful.Like I used to tell your ibo fellows that yorubas don't like problem but if you put us to the wall you will see hell more than what Oba Akiolu said.In term of everything in the country and around the world we senior you.Education,population,money,international connection etc we are not your mate.If it leads to war honestly speaking you will go down in history.just a little word for you!

when your grandfather moved to this present parcel of land called lagos, he was a strange, right? he didnt manufacture the land , did he ?

The recent strangers after while will also, like yourself, lay claims to this land with same argument you used.
I am a Native of lagos state, born and breed, all my generations as far as i can remember have only know Lagos as home. But i am IGBO !.

If a local civil war breaks out in Lagos between igbos n Yoruba's, u will be shocked to death. Keep deceiving urswlf... Just try any nonsense n see

"Igbo immigrant resident community in the Yoruba kingdom of Lagos in Southwestern Nigeria."

So i'm an immigrant in my own country? What the hell! This is absurd if not silly. I was going to vote for Ambode but i think it's time to put this immigrant nonsense to rest once and for all. I've changed my mind.

Jobos:

Take tribalism away from this matter, igbo are not as accommodating as yoruba and hausa. I am a youruba , I was in igbo land for about 3 years in the eatly 90s and they hardly sell their land to other tribes.
We know that igbos are jew in Nigeria, there is community in Kano called No MAN's LAND ; igbo dominated and igbo cancellors but when they aspired for Chairmanship post the Hausa told them story.
Yoruba's hand of friendship is taking for granted, don't ever think that we are caword for not do to you what Hausa/fulani did to you in Kano.
Federal seat has moved to Abuja go there and claim what you want to or go back home and stop building other people tent. We love to stay in Lagos if you will respect our culture and traditions.

LordExecutioner:


Thank you bruhh for changing your mind. All ibo votes won't win at the poll for abaje, he needs yorubas. you ibos only have 17% of Lagos PVC.

and you are still an immigrant in Lagos albeit with citizenship to reside there. laying claims to it is unacceptable. go about ur business and keep making babies without disrupting the peace enjoyed by everyone.

Athanatos:




I can't be like you. I won't start chatting up someone I don't know,period.


Your folly has become something monumental. Go insult your sister and your ma in the same way...Roundhead.

david2:
The Yoruba's should shut up....where were they b4 their oba came out to talk rubbish

ozodigboo:
They said Lagos is for Lagosians........
But Niger Delta crude oil is for EVERYBODY.

Many areas in Lagos existing now, is because igbos bought sand, refilled the swamps and started living there.
The Yoruba landlords who sold those lands have finished spending the money, and have suddenly remembered that Igbos are strangers and should leave.
BuT, know what ?
We aren't leaving. Deal with it.

3rd mainland bridge, eko bridge, carter bridgre, national theatre, all those landmarks were built in the 50's and 60's with crude oil from SS, and palm oil from SE.

macjive01:



u gave a wrong example, Onitsha pple migrated from benin and settled in their present site. The original inhabitants of the present onitsha are from idemmili/obosi. Therefore, onitsha is clearly Igboland. But lagos is inhabited by the awori ethnic group, the yorubas due to close proximity migrated to lagos, the aworis accomodated them and they(yorubas) started claiming ownership. So lagos is NOT yoruba land.

EggovinMma:
Reading.

I don't understand what respect one gives for not voting a lagosian.Is JK not a lagosian? Is democratic process of voting ones choice now a disrespect to a traditional throne in a federal nation?The igbos dont own lagos, I agree, but they still constitute a huge percentage of its population, and has the constitutional rights to vote and be voted for, in other for their interests to be favoured through good policies.

Idrismusty97:
Stop acting like this change your mind, majority of Igbos will vote for PDP all along(With or without Oba speech). You did that during the presidential election and APC still win the state. Do that again and it wouldn't make any difference. In fact PDP got that much votes from Lagos because of the yorubas indigenes. Things would be different now since PDP have made the mistake of turning this into a Yoruba Vs Igbo thing.

In Yoruba land obas don't apologise. He will rather drink poison than apologise (I'm not speaking literarily). People asking the oba to apologize are living a pipe dream. And to all you people calling the Oba a fool, in Yoruba culture we RESPECT Obas regardless of what they may have said or done. You igbos want to govern us, become deputy governor of Lagos your 'no man's land' yet you still do not have basic grasps of the culture and traditions of the indigenes. That clearly shows us it's not time for that yet.

Work hard to develop ur land. Kano state government just built the longest flyover in west africa, but you are still begging for 2nd niger bridge. how pathetic.

you only work hard in illegal activities, substandard and fake goods, and crime. take the away and ibo becomes useless.

how come everybody can't stand ibo? ghana, kenya, south africa, burundi, malaysia, india, china?

i saw your brothers telling chinese and india people that they are also lazy and jealous of ibos. imagine that? countries known for very high cerebral things. ibo man no go kill me with self-appraisal and wasteful arrogance. tribe of useless noisemakers.
