True but for how many votes in an impeachment process? His vote was never needed as they already have more than enough locked down in the bag. These are not political rookies on Nairaland, they are real life politicians and I can tell you for free that things simply don't work that way.

This man knows exactly what he was doing in that interview.

SirJerrie:
Bros... 5 billion Naira is just 3 million dollars...

Your politicians embezzle for more than that... Especially for an oil-rich state

In Yorubaland, being an indigene is fully tied to ethnicity. How you do that in Igboland is your problem .

Agboriotejoye:
That is not in doubt.
But the topic is indigene rights not ethnicity
It is hypocrisy to fight for indigene rights to be exclusive while denying other indigenes of their rights

You get mouth with your two left legs and tiny voice.

We all know who was crying for help from CNN, NTA, FIFA, NATO, WAEC, JAMB, CAFonline etc when just 5 thugs from MC Oluomo's smoking joint handled your people during the last election. Only your ladies like Chioma Chukwuka showed some bravery, God bless her. Cowards

obyno82:
Oga I still reiterate no one is scared ooooo, and no igbo man will run anywhere. We are prepared to defend our properties and if you think you will try any rubbish my guy just prepare for the afterlife because that is where you will go if you try any rubbish.
Because igbos don't want violence doesn't mean they are not capable of it.

Yorubas have been ruling Lagos since 1999. That's all that matters not some Ogogoro joint conspiracy theory in Anambra.

Agboriotejoye:
I don't get
I thought Jagaban was restructuring Nigeria through those bills
Besides, no indigene has ruled Lagos since 1999

You are a kid and your typical emotional games can't move someone like me.

So Yorubas should allow you to become Yoruba out of fear of Rwandan genocide? What a spectacular clown.

Dude, you better grow up and be a proud African man of Igbo tribe. Stop being a weakling in the name of material things. You want to lose your identity because of what you can gain in Yorubaland? Are you not even ashamed of yourself? What a weakling

obyno82:
Oga you are trying to dodge and go off tangent. The truth is this thing you are pushing will lead to your destruction. This was how Rwandan genocide started our Land, our Land and they got their wish and had their land except at 6ft under.

He thinks it's about fear .

I've witnessed your people scrambling and jumping into the next available truck to escape from the South West and the North when nothing was chasing them just mere rumours, not once, not twice. So forget all those embellishments you hear from your grandma and stand up comedians, we all know the national cowards

Stop your cheap diversions and face the issue: Why would you as a Igboman want to become a Yoruba indigene? Give a good reason that won't make your Amadioha strike you and your entire lineage. As a Yorubaman, I will never dream of that in a million years!

obyno82:
But your roots are not affected naaaa. Is the Fulani bringing Fula practices and making it law in Yoruba land? Are the igbos bringing Amadioha into Yoruba land or are Yorubas bringing Orisha into igbo land? So what really is your fear?

Emotional blackmail. We already fought a war in Nigeria and that's done and dusted. Without going off tangent, you can buy land in Yorubaland as you see that we don't care but to become indigenes, no you can't have that. Stick with yours, own your tribe and be proud of it. We are Africans and we all know our homeland, simple .

obyno82:
But you keep selling your lands. The way you are talking you don't even own a square meter of land. Oga go and get a job it is only jobless people that inflame the embers of hate because psychologically they are depressed and need to blame someone for their misfortune. This was how Hutus started and they instigated the Rwandan genocide claiming our land, our land like you are doing and guess what they had their land except that the land swallowed them 6ft under as they were executed via firing squad. I repeat it again go and get a decent job and try to be useful to your life and your loved ones, you see this ethnic hate you are spreading, people before you have done it and they are nowhere now, some of them are dead already
It will be your portion if you go down that road.

We are not afraid of anything. We are emphasizing our roots and our ancestry which we are proud of! You should be proud of yours too instead of trying to become a Yoruba indigene. Tufiakwa, do you have any shame at all!!!!

obyno82:
What are you guys afraid of really? You guys should stop being dense.

That's exactly what I just wrote. What sort of alien behaviour is that? Why would any sane African man want to change indigeneship to another African tribe? What for? What sort of stupid and daft civilization would warrant that? Their ancestors would be ashamed of them. Arrant nonsense!

Whalis:
Why do Igbo people want indigeneship of regions not theirs? I know no one would sponsor such bill other than an Igbo person.

Again, we know you more than you think we do. Whether I'm the daft or you are the daft one will be decided at the right time but your bill is dead on arrival. Bottomline, if you are Igbo you cannot be an indigene of Yorubaland. I am Yoruba and will never ever aspire to be an indigene of Igboland. I can only live in your homeland as a Yorubaman in Igbo land. That is enough for me and should be enough for any sane and proud African!

obyno82:
Stop being daft. Show me where igbos force Yorubas to sell family land or communal land in SW. That is the same scenario is the South east. Try and ve sensible

That's the point. You can buy land anywhere in the SW but South Westerners are not sure of that in your village where cases of even indigenes of a neighboring village being denied such access is well known. We are okay with what you already enjoy in the SW. We don't want to give more than enough room. We saw what your guys did with the last election in Lagos.

iLoveYouToo:
Tell me a part of the SW that I can’t buy land? I don’t even need to be an indigene to own land in any part of this country called Nigeria.

We aren’t in the US

Then you have missed the entire point. This is not about what you want.

*Land was only used as an example since that is a concern of many Nigerians with regards to being "naturalized" indigenes of Igbo land via residency or marriage.

iLoveYouToo:
Why would I want to go and buy land in the Grand Canyon? What for?

Besides, so you think this bill is in any way about land? Nothing stops anyone from buying lands in Nigeria provided you have the money and the seller is willing to sell. Tell me where I can’t buy land in Nigeria IF IT APPEALS TO ME?

Why should we? Even America the number 1 promoter of democracy in the world have about 326 federally recognized tribal homelands known as native american reservations. People are free to do whatever they like in cities built by immigrants but no access to tribal homelands of the original landlords.

JuanDeDios:
INDIGENSHIP is by TRIBAL DESCENT. I doubt our people will get over that. We should, but I doubt we can anytime soon. So maybe they should just rephrase it "residential right with full rights to vote and bla bla..."

Honestly some people just think they are too wise in this country.

On this same Nairaland, the topic of government ranches was discussed and these same people eyeing Lagos were vehemently against ranches in the South East saying their land is not available for such. Now they have suddenly turned to civilized people preaching one Nigeria .

True until they want to buy land in your village. You think say you wise

obyno82:
Stop being stupid there. The indigenous rule applies to all lands in Nigeria.
Haba is it when they beat you every morning that you will have sense?

Not in native American homelands known as Native American reservations.

iLoveYouToo:
Aren’t aliens already buying lands and building houses?

Na true, they are only thinking Lagos but Aminu and Dogo are eyeing Nnewi and Owerri for their ranches.

Counterigbolies:
don't mind those myopic idiots

I wish d bill can scale through, in the next 5 years let's see who go cry.

They want that law cos they are eyeing Lagos not knowing that on the other side fulanis that they hate so much can relocate to their region n do worse

Imagine fulanis wey dem never give free hand don ruin Enugu, just imagine say dem b indigene

Except that they can't get into the homelands of native Americans. Those homelands are protected by law even in America.

iLoveYouToo:
Same people will live in Europe and Americas and seek naturalization. We’re the dark continent for a reason.

Sometimes I wonder what this our foolishness really helped us to achieve

If UK says NO and amend their existing laws, Yorubas won't complain and even if they do it will be fruitless complaint as UK is not their homeland. Simple as ABC.

Ojemedad:
These are the same Yoruba that are litered all over UK seeking for residence permit and citizenship, even to the extend of becoming an elected member

Indigenous homelands must be protected.

However, every state must be encouraged to provide free zones for development of new cities. In essence, every state must have a piece of no man's land where no individual is allowed to own more than a specific number of plots of land to avoid monopolies and property tax must be fully enforced.

Eid-el-fitr to my fellow Igbo muslims and our supreme leader Alhaji Mujahid Dokubo Asari, Dabaye Amakiri I.

Ibehchizzy:
I no fit lodge for dis kind hotel come get peace of mind
Even ndokwa wey I Dey lodge overnight
I go push bed towards d door area come block am
Coz those niggas get the master key for every room door

Exactly. No way on earth I'm lodging in that type of hotel unless I'm absolutely left with no choice and in that case it's all safety measures fully activated. God forbid it happens, the mindset at that point is not succumbing without a hell of a battle and definitely not going to be the only casualty, at least one of the assailants is going too.

Maybe fancy is not the word but the class of hotel matters a lot. I've been following similar stories and the type of hotel is indeed a factor. They are not the super cheap type but are almost always lower standard hotels.

You safety tips are excellent. If they know that your presence is no secret to your people then you are a lot safer and not a good target.

ugodson:
Is like someone should not lodge in hotel again? Dont be deceived on how fancy it is o!

Make calls describing the hotel you are in with address infront of the receptionist, DONT pay with cash use your atm card or transfer.

If you are leaving next day, nake a call in their presence saying they should come pick you up in d hotel so by d next day you quickly find your way

Odingo1:
Igbos might not appear in Forbes but they are the richest in Africa. Wealth is not an individual something but how the wealth is distribution among population.

A true definition of Igbo reality

Yes, we all understand Igbo reality which is on a totally different wavelength. You are doing well bro .

Odingo1:
It is a reality, the evidence is there when you visit south eastern Nigeria. No part of Africa have nice build up like Igbo villages in the entire Africa.

You miss the last one, that argument is also distributed by Igbos. Buyers beware.

Amalekki:
An argument designed, fabricated, developed and marketed by the same Igbos .

Igbo Amaka!

We run it all. 4 Igbos, 2 Hausa/Fulanis. We developed everywhere from Sydney, Australia to Alaska, USA.

No mind am, we can even go back to the ancient days of trade by barter

lordkay10:
OP dey ment, why would you be missing buying petrol at 87 naira when we can actually go back to when it sold below 1 naira per liter

usreno:
Good old days shall never come back. Make proper use of your present day in order to reap the fruit in the future.

Leave them alone, let them keep remembering good old days while others are solving problems and smiling to the bank every new day

I remember the days before Abacha, PDP and co .

I use "do'mo" for my Benin big bros. Sounds like "Dor mor". I just say dormor sir and they are happy

raumdeuter:
You and amigoss I need some Bini hailings. I get this man wey dey older but he go dey hail me for Yoruba cos he lived some years in Ibadan and I no sabi wetin to call am
He dey fit just begin call me Kabiyesi, I tried Uku okpolopolor for am, but he no stick

Thanks for your feedback.
You did not make the front page because we do not have space for all former presidents of their own bedroom. Shikena! - Nairaland Management.
