2 hours and am out. I wouldn't even wait for the people to say the grace.

Diamondpicture: The truth is that the yorubans they have a way of reasoning u guys fail to forget that if there is to be a war between nigeria and any other country that it is likely to start in lagos state and the igbos in lagos we not allow you guys to fight the war alone because 80% of investment houses belongs to the igbos and other tribes you all are just shouting lagos lagos failing to know that ur lagos of awolowo and abiola is no more the lagos of today and u guys hav failed to realise that i have been in the movie industry for over 15years now and not just the movie industry but the yoruba movie industry i have over 200 yoruba movies i bought from your so called bro today the hatred is there that we are the owner of the movies but they refuse to remember when they were so hungry that we came to thier rescue why the hatred on the ibos u guys should learn to take the fact that igbos own 80% of lagos

then go back and develop your own place if u are that goood....oloriburuku

li[b]ke the yoruba's say "EJE MI KORO(MY BLOOD IS BITTER)[/b]

When did it become a crime for a state to set living standard's? I am sure this people also hate the fact that he is banning okada.Just becuase the master plan of the city affect's largely igbo dominated business doesn't mean Fashola hates igbos. Nor be everybody dey fit live for Newyork....

Mmadu111: i cried solemnly for fellow igbos because of our insistance maginalization in Nigeria, North and West violently hate us, i think our fate is to drive our investments back home in Igbo land. Fashola is a renowned OGUMAGANA!!!

They hate you but you love them with all your heart right>?

[quote author=tunji_lana] I dont even know how to say this, just appalled by the comments in here, All I know is that a better lagos is good for everyone, be it Igbo, Hausa, Yoruba or the other ethnic groups. The last time an Igbo state sent away government workers from another Igbo state, I didnt hear this kind of defence from my Igbo brothers, Fashola's actions are not even targetted at Igbos, it cut across, we have peope sent to even osun state for Aregbe to deal .

Someone was condemning his use of "host community" as if it's wrong to say that...common!!!, I'm from oyo state, I put that on any of my documents requiring state of origin, I fully acknowledge lagos as my host state and I expect every enlightened Nigerian to understand this.The other time, someone was contesting the right of the Oba of Lagos to appoint a babaloja over a market that is 99.999999999% Igbo, he was even telling him to come and contest and see if he will win, as if Babaloja is an elective post. Imagine such disrespect for some peoples' cultural and traditional structure. See If a market in Ikorodu for instance is 99.9999999% dominated by people from let's say Ikirun in Osun state and the traditional ruler decides to appoint a babaloja from a son of Ikorodu(his own advisor and minister on that market's affair) you wont here anything the best that can be done is lobby and appeal with the ruler...It is TRADITIONAL!!!


I really dont blame the Igbos, In pre-colonial days when most ethnic groups were creating political structures and teaching it's populace leadership and followership via notable kingdoms like the oyo empire,Benin,sokoto e.t.c, they were still believing in every compound to it's head, hence there inability to comprehend basic cultural/political issues and always feeling every bodys' actions are targeted towards them. As for the South Eastern governors saying all sort, please if you have destitutes of Yoruba origin in your area, kindly build a skill acquisition centre in your state, detain these destitutes there for 6 months, force them to acquire a skill and send them back home to us exactly like Fashola did, we will be greatful to you and even give you a traditional title "Atun ilu se of yoruba land"[/quote]Well written my brother. The state sent away destitutes. I remember watching Fashola with one of the eastern governor tour a popular igbo dominated market in lagos. All he wants it a sane environment. Just hoping that people will be reasonable.

I always laugh when by igbo friend's claim that lagos will be nothing without them? Question, why not take that same "business genius" of yours back to igboland and develop it? How many times will you read a slowpoke from the east say(type) that Lagos is not a yoruba land or that igbo's now control lagos? These are the kind of statements that make indigenous people angry and upset. There is nothing wrong is moving to a state and contributing to it's growth and development. My igbo friend's need to be careful and mindful of what they say. Do other tribes that live in eastern nigeria enjoy the same free business atmosphere that igbo's enjoy in lagos? Let's be candid.

AND YOU WONDER WHY AN IGBO MAN WILL NEVER BE PRESIDENT?..KEEP IT UP

POOR GUY sorry I meant poor woman

Lookin forward to the day when an hausa man will win an election in the eastern part of nigeria based on merits and his vision for the country.

I wonder how many nairalander's are proud to be a nigerian after reading about our dear senate. Don't you just love "your" country.

All I can tell you is that I need prayer and a special deliverance...
