For Your Information, Lagos is a no man's land. It was a former FEDERAL territory so no amount of ethnic colouration can make it a yoruba enclave. I intend to vie for House of Rep's from Alimosho in 2019. There's nothing ethnic jingoists like your type can do about it. End of story. If you feel aggrieved, join us in the Atlantic ocean and stop exploding your toxic ethnic agenda on social media

hardbody:
Guy stop weeing on your pants. No one is scared. It is very simple. No one can cripple my company it is nothing to do with Yoruba. They will try to disturb the traders only yo find out that spare part prices will sky rocket and they will come back to open any closed market. Yorubas in this Lagos still drive the highest number of rickety cars and buses.

I am igbo and proudly too. Nothing scares me. Whoever is begging for protection is speaking for himself. If people want us to level this place lets go to war. When the dust is settled there will be no Lagos anymore and survivors would have learnt their lessons

losky4real:
thank u brother! Am from delta ! I am tired of the ibo bringing us to eat insults too

TeamSimple:
You don't have a point brother..

Very shameless yoruba man. Lagos maybe in SW however very different from Osun, Ondo, Oyo, Oyo, Ogun and Ekiti in that 80% of taxes and duties paid into its coffers are by non yorubas...keep that in mind. When next you see Fashola commissioning a project...say big thank you to the non yorubas who are funding it through their taxes and duties. You think Lagos can function without them? You people should be very careful how carelessly you speak. Also say big thank you to the Niger Delta for your behemoth monthly allocation...you think you can survive without this handout by generous Niger Delta people? Speaking as a Niger Deltan, the day you Yoruba will marginalize any non yoruba in Lagos, be prepared to lose your federal monthly allocation and non payment of taxes and duties by non Yorubas...let's see how you will survive. You think Lagos would have attained its current economic and social status without nom yorubas and federal character? You want one Nigeria, you must abide by every law that glues us as Nigerians.

The funniest thing about Yeeboes on nairaland is that THEY ALL OWN IMAGINARY MANSIONS IN LAGOS, THEY ARE ALSO BILLIONAIRES AND FEED EVERYBODY IN LAGOS. But we know the reality on ground

koning:
What is the reality on the ground ?. Given the population of Igbos in Lagos, how many Igbos do you see in motor parks working as abgeros. How many Igbos are bus conductors or even bus drivers. The few Igbos that are bus drivers drive their own buses. How many Igbos are brick layers, masons, carpenters, mechanics, vulcanisers, panel beaters, electricians etc.

Okada riding has been taken over by young Hausa / Fulani men. Most of these people and their families are being maintained by hardworking Igbo men and women and other Nigerians of course. That is the reality on the ground. I deal with ordinary Nigerians on a daily basis. The reality is that Igbos in Lagos have the purchasing power to keep many Yoruba Lagosians fed. We keep the economy at a micro level buoyant.

emmysoftyou:
it s because the yoruba dont travel..
pls mention a state in nigeria where yoruba dominated ?
apart frm southwest.

PenSniper:
..


Which Oil and Gas Industry belongs to the Niger Delta as a property ? Are you nuts. ? And is Niger Delta Igbo ? The Yoruba have no issue with Niger Delta so dont craft them in by style. Fight your own battle alone, animal. No peace with and for the wicked.

huptin:
How many Yorubas are dominating your oil and gas industry? Compared to the number of your people making billions from Yorubaland and getting their goods from our ports?

Your ports? Interesting observation indeed.

new2020:
Very stu$pid and dumb question. Is akin to asking a Chinese or Indian business man what he is doing in Lagos or Onitsha in spite of China being...according to you "OK". Have you heard about business opportunities beyond your environment? I know you are yoruba...get your lazy arse up and travel to Gboko, Okene, Arochukwu or something to earn a living. Stop looking for handout...SMH

falopey:
Have you been to the North before? Places like sokoto and kano. You will know that there are more Yoruba in the north than east.

SWDude:
Just the way Ibos were slaves to Ojukwu. I'll rather let Tinubu than allow a sellout. It's the worst thing that can happen to Yorubas.

You people don't see nothing wrong when you call Lagos "No man's land" and insult your host. If Agbaje could pally with such tribe, then it not a joking stuff to vote against him.

SWDude:
Of course, we are going to die in this useless world.

bellychiz:
Sure tell your mum to meet me at that junction just say junction she ll understand after all I learnt the trade from her. Also tell your sis to make sure she goes with dat Alhaji. Today oh cus he promised to give her the money she said your mum needs for one treatment like that. Your generation unborn is cursed.

The Lagos State governorship candidate of the
Peoples Democratic Party, Mr. Jimi Agbaje, says
he will accept defeat in good faith if he loses the
election.

Agbaje’s major contender, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode,
is the governorship candidate of the ruling party in
Lagos, the All Progressives Congress.

According to the PDP candidate, election should
not be a do-or-die affair.

Agbaje said, “There is no attitude about it when it
comes to offering yourself to serve the people. If
they say they prefer the other candidate, then you
have to accept it in good faith. That is
sportsmanship.”

Agbaje arrived at his polling unit ─ 009 Douala,
Apapa ─ around 10am with his wife, but it took six
attempts for the card reader to recognise his
fingerprint.

Speaking on the experience, he said, “During the
last polls, the card reader worked like magic for
me. But today, it was at the sixth attempt that the
card worked.

“But that could be a problem in high density areas.
The process could drag on if the machines do not
work properly.”

Osezzua:
This line of tribal sentiments the south west has towed is very bad. Go to the oil & gas industry which predominantly belongs to the niger deltans and see how d yorubas are dominating because of their tribal bias. This fragile peace we currently enjoy should not be tampered with.

mickeymimi:
Ambode seems more sincere than this man. Jimi wants to lead Lagos a very complex and multi ethnic state and he his segregating one ethnic group from the others. We haven’t voted and he is already showing his true colors. This man is for himself, he is not for Lagosians. He claims he wants to rule a state and he sends out OPC to destroy the state’s public property.

PDP shamelessly dividing people for elections sake. They tried with religion in the Presidential election, now they are using tribal division for the gubernatorial election.

BraniacX:
Thank you brother
You said it all
Come to warri, go to PH, see yoruba people there, you won't even notice they are yoruba's, because to us, they are friends, neighbours, sometimes family but now, in Lagos, some yoruba's want to remind us we come from somewhere else but I say this, if yoruba's in lagos try this rubbish they are threatening with ibo's and by extension we South southerners, the response shall be unequal and disproportionate to the insult offered but i pray it never gets to that because it will hurt me to look into my friends eyes and know i have a reason to apologise on behalf of my people because unknown to many lagos based and stay at home yoruba's, yoruba's have a lot more to loose than South southerners if they go head to head.

otokx:
Looks like he was defeated 2000 years ago.

bushdoc9919:
Hope he does.

Still...

MrMcJay:
When Ambode was going on door-to-door campaign, Jimi was busy analysing the Oba's statements.

Now, His native Ikorodu rejected him

His fellow residents at Apapa rejected him

The neighbours of his campaign office at Ilupeju rejected him

Yorubas rejected him

Igbos don't trust him

Lagosians don't want him.

Today, Jimi Agbaje has become a political liability.

This should be a lesson to us all. In our pursuit for success, we should be very mindful of the kind of actions we take. You can't aim to lead a united community by dividing them.

Jimi, PDP and the Oba jointly tore into shreds of whatever bound us together as Lagosians. May God grant Ambode wisdom to handle Lagos a right.

BraniacX:
You're both mad and daft..........who does it belong to? Did your oba adress igbo's only or non yoruba's in general See these paperweight yoruba's forming hardcore because you think you now have backing from the centre abi? E go over una very soon............make una try am.......una go see say we Niger Deltans ehn, we be different type of animals

Wealthyone:
He wished ambode wins sef

frank442:
Why is he sounding like a broken record

He is no match to ambode

Surrounded by bad people. Bode George, Gani Adam and Obanikoro..

Show me your friends and I will tell whom you are

Layonle:
I can see dt ur Ambode z sure surrounded by good ppl
