I am not a Lagosian and I don’t even like the state at all, but those people doing some funny things in Lagos should try another state and leave Lagos alone.

Move to another state if Lagos doesn’t welcome you no more. Let them be. Enough is enough

You’re always welcome in my dear Oyo state.

Come help us develop here please

Why can't they build their own cities? Oyo is better than any of their states. Besides they have always been in Oyo. In the 70s Ibadan had more ibos than Lagos. The massive migration of ibos to Lagos is quite recent, from the 80s

In the SE...Army and Police sef dey collect...let alone Fulani wey dey see Allah steady.

Boast among yourselves. Everybody in NIGERIA knows the cowards.

The cowards are those who are forced to live in the midst of those they hate but are powerless to do anything about it except cry up and down about marginalization 😁

Did your governor cry publicly or not because of northerners' attack?

I thought you obidients said Nigerians didn't vote for tinubu. Which one is now "lies Nigerians told themselves after 2023 election?"

21lucky:
Maybe the two videos below will give you a clue of Fulanis and other northerners meddling with the local politics in Lagos state

Hausa and Fulani have not been living in mutual understanding with yorubas in Lagos for so long now.

Yorubas have clashed with ijaws before in Lagos and hausas and Yorubas have clashed several times in Oyo and osun states. Those are not political skirmishes, just street people going against one another.

Have you ever seen Yoruba and ibos clash before? But then they always try and check one another politically since the 1950s. That should tell you something if you are wise and not of the indomie generation

21lucky:
You yorubas are avoiding my question.
You people have not yet answer my question.
Lagos state government and yorubas said they are changing Lagos streets with igbo names to yoruba names to preserve their yoruba culture and now my question is if you change streets with igbos names why leave Lagos streets with Hausa and Fulani names or is this not bias or sentimental or are the Hausa and Fulani now part of yoruba culture.

You should be smart enough to know the reason the names are being changed. Why are they not changing the Edo names?

esnbrutality:
They fight you and your elders call for peace
They kill you and you call for peace
They own Ilorin and you arrest you and you call for peace

They do all manner of dehumanizing things to you and you call for peace.


IGBOs are your enemies because they are independent thinkers and don't capitulate to your weak lies and propaganda against them. To you that is intolerable right.

Yoruba man ...I have a very direct answer for you...your region has been exposed and you can't deny it again.

Your region did to Ghana what you are doing to IGBOs now. No need to justify it.

Wait for the clap back...I trust IGBOs and it must come.

Are you talking about Lagos or you have shifted goalposts again as usual?

In Ife the Hausa trouble makers were slaughtered like rams. In shasha, Ibadan, the northerners had to sue for peace when they were descended upon leading to deaths. In igangan Sunday igboho boys sacked them from the area and nothing happened.

In Enugu and Ebonyi your governors start crying when northerners kill your people.

21lucky:
Lagos state government are busy renaming streets with igbo name or igbo personality.

While they have not bother to rename streets with Hausa or Fulani names.

Is this hypocrisy or something else?

Have you ever seen the fulanis and other northerners in Lagos meddle with the local politics the way ibos do?

MadamExcellency:
Blacks have invented nothing of value in this world. The highest structure in Africa before the advent of Europeans in Africa was built by termites (Ants) not humans.

You are not educated. Ethiopia and Sudan are dotted by remnants of ancient structures

Kushites:
Because you wouldn't understand him if he did. Obviously. Plus you've no idea what he's wearing.

You just buttressed my point.

Ironfaceman:
EKO is BENIN word get your facts right. Brims name lagos EKO

Benin itself is Yoruba word. Get your facts right. A Yoruba man named it Benin. The same way Ajayi crowther taught ibos how to read and write

Stephen0mozzy:
Na wa for una o.

You for kuku ask, why are we learning Medicine and Surgery instead of Olokun, Amadioha, Ogun et al.

Apart from the obvious fact that we were colonized by the English - it only makes sense that we have a neutral language as the "commonly adopted" language as the same English was used for our education, our commerce and governance.

So yes, if we take our head outta our as*s, it is a logical thing.

Good luck forcing one out of the hundreds of languages and dialects spoken in Nigeria by more than 200+ million people.

the same specimen will still wear western clothes throughout today. Why didn't he make his post in a Nigerian language?

I do not care if you call my street Lagbaja Street so long I collect rent from indegenes and can increase it for them. If they cannot pay, let them relocate to Idiroko. They can call it anything.

You collect rent? The attached picture is probably your reality

helinues:
Why not stay put in your region

They're telling us that their region is not really habitable. They have to move out before they can amount to anything

Ttalk:
Those who nzogbu nzogbu will always end up beaten, brutalized and frustrated.

Just street naming is causing so much hullabaloo, what if we now ask them to go, them they will petition, FIFA, NFA, UNESCO and NEPA.

You aren't seeing anything yet

They just like attracting bad vibes to themselves only to turn around later and start crying.

esnbrutality:
IGBOs allover NIGERIA are the dominant tribe after the indigenous people. This shows that IGBOs are everywhere, just like the SUN

That's not true. In most SW states you have more hausas than ibos. Okada riders, laborers, kiosk keepers, maiguards, food traders are mainly hausas in the SW. But they don't attract unnecessary attention like the ibos

Preme03:
I don't totally believe that how can the igbos be more than the Host state

He's saying nonsense. He is APC and he said that so that the many Yorubas who voted for obi in 2023 will not vote for him next time. They used similar tactics during the Guber elections in 2023 in Lagos

OP, the obidients will disagree with your brilliant idea

Noerection:
are they not Biafrans anymore?

The agitation for Biafra is valid because they're denied the leadership of Nigeria. They feel excluded. Meanwhile they contribute to Nigeria as much as any other tribe. But then there should be a referendum to see if they will prefer to have Biafra to staying in Nigeria

id911:
If Professor Nentawe Yilwatda has been so good as the writer made us to understand, he has been the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction for more than 2 years now. What's the percentage of poverty he has helped reduced in Nigeria sincre he took over?

You are talking as if you don't know that with these APC guys everything is just about politics and not performance

Kalulu44:
Hahaha, all this development is just making me laugh. I'm an Igbo guy born and raised in Lagos and still reside in Lagos. The truth is, all what is going on now with this street renaming is just gonna deeping the hatred between Igbos and Yorubas. I'm not against Yorubas making their place their identity but they're ways to go about that won't cause rancour.
Like for example I am an Igbo guy but I have more Yoruba friends than any other tribes. I speak Yoruba more than my own language.
I fought severally with one of my late uncle bcus I am not supporting him on the issue of Biafra. And till today and forever I still stand my ground that we don't need Biafra. But what Yorubas are doing now will make Igbos who has a stand like me but doesn't have strong mind like me to have a rethink and start wanting the Biafra.
Let's tell ourselves the truth here, Yorubas or Lagosians are benefitting from Igbos here in Lagos more than any other tribes.
Go to Abule Ado, Satellite, Ilufe and all of the area surrounding Alaba market and see the development Igbos has brought there with beautiful houses and mansions.
I grew up in Ojo, go to Olojo drive from Volks to Ajangbadi and see how Igbo guys has turn around that area.
Is it Ajao Estate, Okota, Festac and other places too numerous to mention that Igbos has developed.
My own is I keep praying everyday for Lagos to remain peaceful and not disintegrate. Cus if Yorubas succeed in chasing Igbos away we all including me "cus I'm not going anywhere" will feel it except some Yorubas who will not say the truth bcus of pride.
.
Now back to the renaming of streets and bus stops. Some names of streets and bus stops will never change in the minds of passengers and conductors till eternity.
Example I know of is Cassidy bus stop in Okoko area of Ojo local govt. 15 or 20yrs ago it was renamed to a local name I can't rmbr. But till date it's still call Cassidy bus stop.
Same with Oregun bus stop that was renamed Kudirat Abiola way. Till date Conductor no know Kudirat o, na Oregun bus stop Dem go call am.
And to Charly boy bus stop that has been there for over 30yrs and you want all of sudden for conductors not to call it that again. Lai lai, till majority of us here leave this world. I can bet my balls that, that name will never change from the minds of Passengers and conductors. And to think they rename it to "Baddo" respect to Olamide my guy. That name doesn't sound right in a civil and well educated society like Lagos. That Baddo is for entertainment purpose. Can any of you here call yourself Baddo or Baddest in a corporate or where sane people are gathered.
We traveled abroad and claimed racist and victimized, but we're all worst of it here in Nigeria both Igbos and Yorubas.
Well I have overshoot my time, you all the unembittered ones should stay and remain blessed while we wish Nigeria to be great again if Nigeria was ever great before.

Don't mind them. Always looking for enemies in the wrong places. They don't focus on the thieves ruining their lives from east to west to north and south

Ttalk:
Don't delve into what you don't know,there nothing in Awori dialect that is called Alaba. That area has been indigenous settlement up 80s when Jakande open up the area. You can as well tell me the meaning of Okokomaiko, PPL and Cassidy.

While I agree that Alaba could literally mean the owner of a hut, but the naming of Alaba market has nothing to do with that

So is alaba Igbo or Hausa? Thank you for agreeing with me that alaba could literally mean owner of Aba. Maybe you should let us know what alaba means "literally" in Igbo or Hausa. I don't know what you people gain from these tribal endeavors

Ttalk:
Now Lagos state is beginning to take control of its affairs.

The next is to rename some market that their name has no link to the people of Lagos state.

It is high time Alaba market is changed to reflect the history of the people of Ojo. There nothing in Yoruba and Awori dialect that bears Alaba.

Is alaba Hausa or ibo?

Aba in Yoruba means living space in a village. Alaba should mean owner of Aba. That name probably came from the time that place was still a village. Don't let us get ahead of ourselves because of these tribal things

kedeojo:
This is how you people fail. You can be loved before and later be hated. Adeleke is gone. Obaseki was the toast of many of us then but the last two years of his second tenure, the love died. Asue was just unfortunate cos the baggage of Obaseki rub him.

It's not as if he was even loved before. What he got was emotional votes because the people of osun wanted Oyetola and APC out by all means at the time

franchasng:
Aliko Dangote's wealth is Nigerian peoples collective wealth invested in one man by successive Nigerian Presidents.


Tell me what Aliko Dangote invented?

What rare or never seen business idea or solution he created or initiated to amass such wealth like other billionaires from other nations?

All the businesses that made Dangote rich were businesses other Nigerian entrepreneurs were also doing but Dangote used government policy that usually favor him because of family background to monopolize the business and force others in same sector or business to close shop.


From Cement to Sugar to Flour to Pasta to Rice to Transport to Automobile Assembly, and now Refinery, all are normal businesses which Dangote used Nigeria's federal government politics of favoritism to monopolize and force others out instead of bringing something new, an ingenuity that the whole world will marvel at and patronize like:


Elon Musk did
Mark Zuckerberg did
Bill Gates did
Larry Page did
Sergei Brim did
etc, etc



Tell me the rare thing or ingenuity Dangote brought to Nigeria or in business to become the number one entrepreneur every Nigerian government favors?


If successive Nigerian government favors any Nigerian business owner half or quarter of the government assistance various Nigerian Presidents gave to Dangote, that business man may end up competing with the likes of Tata, Musk, etc.

Tell me what rare thing Walton did to make Walmart the biggest company in the world and the Walton family the richest family in the world

Nigeria and Morocco all the way
