Masterkolade:
all am saying is that the igbos are getting way too sentimental on this issue they should let it go and people should move on. I also think JK went too far

eaglechild:
You allow..... someone to reside in Lagos you say.

On what basis are you making that allowance?

On the basis that Lagos is not in Nigeria and has not been the capital till the recent past.

On the basis that I require a Visa to go to Lagos as a foreigner?

On the basis that when one gets to Lagos he is accorded free shelter, food and clothing?

Please tell me the basis of allowance.

It is this phantom basis of "allowance " that your Oba has latched unto to make his despicable statements.

Please liberate your mind.

Caracta:
Pls don't compare Abuja with Lagos.

Let's cut the chase. Do you agree that Lagos has owners or belongs to some group of persons or group?

Btw, Abuja belongs to some set of people originally. Making it a Federal Capital doesn't take away the rightful ownership but just a bigger responsibility and National management.

Pls answer my question. Thank you.

kay1one:
I assume you have friends or relatives abroad! If citizens of those countries started acting the way you do now how would you take it! Stop being myopic!

mcquin:
Igbos so with all the noise making, una still come out come beg. Una de ma.d

Efiks,Hausas,Binis,Deltans,Igalas etc are all in Lagos, infact Lagos is the smaller Nigeria in naija yet dem no de hear dem, dem they respect their host, but you lots keep showing yourself both in Lagos, Delta, China, anywhere una go, den come back to claim Isreal of Naija. Na so the Jewish Isrealites de go disturb oda pple, y una own Igbotic-Isrealite be like this?


In any case by now you know Lagos is a Yoruba state, after all many of you now speak yoruba and don't even know how to speak your dialect.

Give it to the yoruba's, they are accomodating. I've spent most part of my life in Edo as an Efik, I have never seen any tribe trying to disrespect the great Omo no ba. (Oba I pledge loyal; Oba gha to kpe e......Ise). But you see these yeebos doing same to the yoruba king.


Go back to Abia and make it an enviable place for all tribes to want to be in.

PassingShot:
So, Igbo as a block needed to pitch their tent in a battle as that of Lagos guber election?

focus7:
My take on this is that yoruba land being know for he hospitality and peaceful co-existent can assure the igbos of the safety of lives, business and properties but they should also prepare to respect us in our own land and stop acting as though they co-owner of the land with us, the should stop treating with hate and disdain. If they know they cannot comply with they should go back to their land.

netmillionaires:
Nobody is acting funny instead the hosted are.
I am glad u mentioned the issue of having families abroad. Assuming someone is my family abroad, will he try nonsense with a common immigration officer let alone a Mayor? If someone abroad became a threat to his host, will he not be deported? Let a Nigerian go to USA and start making mouth just because he has business in the US and enrich d US economy and see what happens. When authority in US talk, he better shut up or risk deportation. 1st rule of Power: don't abuse ur host.
Hatred and anger kills slowly.
I don't know who and who were sent back to their land by Fashola. But it is the reason why they are now working against the government believing that's the only way to vent their anger. Lagosians are OK with their government. Imagine someone come from the east and appoint a govt for lagosians, and the govt then went ahead to destroy lagos. Who will bear the consequences? Lagosians of course. The Easterners will sure relocate back to their land and leave the yorubas to bear d impact of what they caused. The yorubas want to determine who governs them. Is it too much to ask for?. If I am in d USA and didn't like their terms, it is either I stay and eat their crumbs or I leave and go back to my country. It is not a must. Boasting that I am one of the people who help to develop their land and that they can't survive without me will only make them to want to prove me wrong.. I am tired of having talks like this because there is no way one can tackle this without sounding like an ethnic bigot.

PassingShot:
Funny set of people.

Why ganging up against a candidate?

Common sense should mean that Igbos in Lagos will be neutral in Lagos gubernatorial election and allow people vote as they wish.

shamecurls:
There probably will be free shopping in some locations when Ambode is officially declared winner.

adeekiti:
chichi ur girlfriend na Igbo

eaglechild:
That is exactly the point.

You do not see Abuja natives coming out to threaten residents to vote a particular candidate or get their heads smashed against Aso rock.

You missed the point,didn't you?
Why are u masking yourself in the face of seemingly campaigns of calumny by PDP .

abu12:
A yoruba people shld not attack igbo people physically, but the oba of lagos and lagos state govt shld b strict on tax collection and increase their tax rate. Stop all illegal trading they are involved in, then they won't interfere in ur state issue or insult ur oba no matter what he has done. For ifeanyi and others like him shld not be giving any opportunity or contract from lagos govt.

jmoore:
Go and tell Obama to resign as President of the USA and go back to Kenya and develop it.

Nonsense!!
