I won't argue with you about the emboldened because it's something you believe deeply without comparing the supposed accomodation to those of the other regions. Just because Yorubas are not going to the east enmasse does not mean that the east is less accommodating. It;s also pertinent to note that whenever people talk about the accommodating nature of Yorubas, a lot of times, they're referring to Lagos as everywhere else other than Lagos are one and the same. I like seeing things from people's vantage point to be able to come to a logical conclusion, so it will do a lot of good for you to lay our in bullet points why you think the SW is more accommodation. is it because there are more non-indegenes living there or what exactly?

verygudbadguy:
My guy, not only that. We don't reason as controllers in SW, we see everybody as Nigerians. The governor could as well shift Alaba market to a non favourable place to destabilize the Igbo. Let's say Ikorodu were there is always crises as a result of militancy.

I see the Yorubas changing soon if the whole Biafra and secession threat is not toned down. I am in support of Biafra though but you can't eat your cake and have it. You either move back to the East in mass or forget the agitation.

Bros,I actually dont agree with you on this.

Remember it is only Lagos in the whole South west that experiences this. And it is not about seeing everyone as nigerians. Its about outsiders having a reasonable share of the population there. If you move them to Ikorodu and they still have a large number, its likely that they will still contest and maybe win.

Lagos has always been the land with so many opportunities and every body sees here as a place of hope. It maybe be difficult to curb this especially as we still remain Nigeria

Boss, why SW are very accommodating are;

1. We don't discriminate when selling our landed properties to other tribes which there are substantial amount of SE peeps into real estate business.

2. There are political post in SW states, not just lagos but Ogun, Ondo and Oyo states having igbo in their cabinet. One would say yes because of their business tycoon ideas but other strategic SW peeps can replicate and even do better but because we are open minded/accommodating hence the room to accept them.

greatiyk4u:
Far from that dear.....you are still relying on online survey where data is gathered from anonymous sources and used for evaluation


Have you ever wondered why Nnamdi Kanu finds it hard to hold rallies in Enugu? The ans is simple, he has to import his followers from the tout prone locations like Onitsha, Aba, Ph which will be cumbersome


Tell me any reputable Igboman with a successful career that is a known follower of NK?.............most of the businessmen you see around him are just out of envy and other various personal reasons not good sharing here


Self determination follows a civil strategy not spread hate speech and imposition of opinion and belief system because of the magnitude of weak minds in Nigeria today


Every Igboman want Biafra but not through no profile entity like Nnamdi kanu....when you interview most of the followers and hear their reasons for following him you will hate that guy the more

taught they said they want Biafra and they are still trying to get elected in a yoluba state

Ogun state governor appoints Igbo man as permanent secretary.
Ekiti state governor appoints Igbo, Urhobo men as members of board.
Lagos state governor appoints Igbo, Hausa men as commissioners.
Oyo state had Igbo special adviser

serverconnect:
Igbo's always dominating Amuwo Odofin and other towns since ages in terms of politics in Lagos.

Omofunaab2:
See, if alaba market is relocated to ikorodu, then i can assure you that no igbo man will even bother to contest there... Ijebus owns ikorodu and they don't take shit... Infact they are less liberal sef

Omofunaab2:
Are you daft or what? Where were you in March 2017 when an hausa man born and bred in abakaliki was planning to contest for a councillorship seat, and your people here on nairaland called it an abomination

OduduwaYoruba:
APC be careful, hausa fulani know these unpredictable people more than you and they keep them at arm's length, they never give them chance to operate in Kano but we allowed them to be yet they abuse Yoruba silly and slogan "Lagos is no man's land. I ofe nmanu hate Biafra with passion.

Afam4eva:
Thanks for reeling it out.

Now, do you have any proof that the SW sells more landed properties to outsiders than the SE outside what you hear some people saying that Igbos don't sell lands to outsiders? Have you had a personal experience in this regard? I'm not saying such things don't happen in the SE but i don't see how it's worse or less than what happens in other regions. Igbos cannot be touted for been money hungry and not see the opportunity to sell land to people and make money and not do so because of tribal gibberish. We have to stick with one story about the Igbos. it's either we love money more than life or we don't. Which is it?

As far as your second point goes, let's just agree to disagree that you're referring to lagos and not the SW/ if you think otherwise, i'll like you to tell us states that have appointed Igbos in political positions in other SW states. bare in mind that a Yoruba man was in the cabinet of Chimaroake Nnamani at some point.

Mind you, i'm not saying Yorubas are not accomodating. I just dont fancy the fact that people throw it around like othe regions are any worse.

Omofunaab2:
Yoruba political leaders in lagos needs to stop this madness of allowing igbos to aspire in lagos whether chairman or vice chairman ... . I don't care if they populate festac or not.. just fill up the council seats with Yoruba, dats all.

Same igbos called it an abomination for an hausa man to vie for a councillorship seat in Ebonyi State....

Mbaise people in Imo state said a man from anambra can never be a bishop in ahiara diocese

Abia State sacked non-indigenes from their civil service.


I don't understand why we are still practising politics of inclusion in the south west... Enough of all these sophistication and accommodating nonsense jare...It doesn't stop them from hating yorubas

The igbos ought to be on their way home instead of clamouring for a political post in Lagos.

honourhim:
I agree with most of your points here but u must remember that politics is a game of numbers. If fielding a Yoruba /Igbo ticket will help a party to win then they should go for it.
Moreover, ipob does not represent igbos rather they are a gang of fools.

Meanwhile i am an Igbo man. Ipob fools take note before you scream afonja.

As for the 1st point, it happened to my uncle. I don't want to mention the specific state in SE state.

Baba, You have spoken well because judging from the recent hatred words oozing from ipob members in the east hence enough to stop them from holding any political office outside their zones. You should know by now some of them want to eat their cake and have it back. Even if that wants to happen, no need to spew hateful words to your hosts forgetting you will need them in future. Can any tribe go to east to contest for political office? Let's even start from land purchase, they won't sell their land to non indigenes let alone from another tribe.

However according to the law, they have the right to contest for electoral post even now that it's happening in a domain dominated by them.

I have some handful liberal igbo friends in amuwo Odofin, Ojo, festac who seriously hate the recent agitation to secede giving strong instance to why one Nigeria would benefit them more than biafra.

1) You're a hypocrite, like your likes, so only Igbos exhibit Hate, your tribe has been very loving and caring towards Igbos

2) Igbos were given a Vice chairman slot in that area , not necessarily because of any bloody inclusion or accommodation rabble from your kinsmen, it is simply a Political move and calculation, I'm not amongst those that say Lagos is a no man's land or Igbos dominate Lagos, NO, but the fact is that some Areas in Lagos have a Larger or very significant Igbo Population more than Yoruba people and other Tribes, so the Yoruba politicians in those Area, NEED IGBO VOTES, no sentiments, just Politics, in order to do this the make such political decisions like the one you're seeing now.

Even APC government in those areas, will want an Igbo man to win in their primaries, so the can present it to the masses, who are mainly Igbos...
Politics it's a game of Numbers and interests, you can keep getting Emotional.

3) If you still believe Igbos don't sell land to other Tribes, you are the most ignorant person I have ever seen, I doubt you have ever been to any Igbo state, you just swallow rubbish information from your fellow bigots here
Have any of your Family members tried to buy land in Igboland, and we didn't sell to you because you're Yoruba , do you have the money to buy land in Owerri, I can sell to you

4) While it's legal and okay for any Nigerian to contest Elections anywhere at any level, I must remind you that Election is a game of numbers and interests, so it's a bit strange for a Yoruba man to contest Elections in Mbaise, Imo State, how many Yorubas are resident in Mbaise
How will he communicate effectively with them, nd you know these are political offices that are much closer to the masses.

Igbos contests for Elections in places the feel the have a significant population, how many times have you heard about an Igbo person contesting Elections in Gombe state, is not as if Igbos are not in Gombe state, but their numbers are not significant enough to consider contesting for an Election.
Lagos is a Yoruba land, I'm not arguing that, but deny it or not, the next tribe after Yoruba people in Lagos are Igbos..
There has not been any accurate research or census on this, but I assume that at least 20-30% of Lagos population should be Igbo people ,while foreigners are 10%, Yorubas 40%, Hausas 10-15%, other Tribes the remaining %%...

So can you see why Igbos like to "make noise" in your opinion, about Lagos.

I used to be resident in Lagos at a point in my life, I know what I'm saying

izzou:
These appointments may be politically motivated. Lets talk about the people's mandate.

slendxy:
Landed property is expensive in the South East but other tribes sees this as shutting them out of buying land in SE instead of seeing it for what it is; Igbos value landed property. The prize is not high because you are Yoruba or Hausa. Not many people have the gut to invest in real estate as the Igbos.

They want us to sell our land to them kobo kobo before they know we sell to other tribes.
