Lol... did you say low density of Yorubas in any part of the country? That is absolutely wrong. Let me deviate a little, do you know the population of Yorubas in the North and in South South ? Go to Rivers State for example Yorubas have so many communities over there places like Aluu, Ogbogoro, Omagwa, Eliozu etc. In the North apart from the natives and Ibos the Yorubas are next in population.
In Imo State for example go to places like Uruatta, world bank, in Imo State Yorubas are populated there. Enugu is not an exception...I can go on and on , you can also carry out your own research.
So if it is the population we have it but you won't be allowed to contest as ordinary councillor talkless of a bigger post and they tell you to your face that you are not from here.
That fact that the Oba of Lagos said his own openly doesn't mean Your own kings don't., they do! But that was very wrong of him.
No where in Ibo land will they allow you to contest if you are not a native. I have people who have tried it..even if we don't have the population the person contesting might be popular within the area so what stops him from contesting? It is up to them to vote him or not.
I will tell you a lot about Ibos, I lived for years with them, I speak Ibo and my wife is Ibo!

Can you compare any of those population you're talking about to say the population of Igbos in Festac/Amuwo?

That's my whole point.

And please it's Igbo not Ibo.

Cheers.

Chief see ehn.

It's a very simple something.

Do you know how many votes it takes to win elections in a country like Nigeria for the post of a house of assembly member, senator or even local government chairman?

Look, do a bit of detailed investigation into what I'm talking about then you'll be aware!

That there is an Igbo man in the Lagos state house of assembly is because of the number of votes obtained during a particular election.

I wonder if you get what I'm trying to say.

IjebuWarrior:
Guy keep ur mouth shut, abeg! How many Yoruba pple can contest elections in savage Okoro jungle?

Another ignorant, uncultured gullible Nigerian youth on the loose.

Afamed:
You are right. But how many traffic law breakers do they record on a daily basis? Have you ever seen their traffic warders in the middle of the roads?

Lol.

Let's not even go there.

See ehn, there will always be crime and disobedience by humans, that's why law and order is the first job of any government.

Tulsaguy:
Even when truth steer you guys in the face, even amongst yourselves, you still deny it.

You ve been doing this since the day world went out. 2023 is by the corner and PDP is looking towards the north, that should be your primary concern now.

For people like you it's still about politics.

You honestly think I care about PDP or APC?

stayclearofme:
We are not talking about owing businesses or houses we are talking about being allowed to contest for any position. To your question I lived in the East for 23years..7years was in Imo State..make we start. Take note I am a Yoruba man.

You said the Igbos are not that accommodating and that's what I responded to.

We all know that because of the low density of Yoruba population in any part of the country apart from SW, it will be very difficult, almost impossible, to garner the kind of support and votes needed.

Has anyone ever been stopped from contesting?

Has any traditional ruler come out to say the kind of despicable nonsense the Oba of Lagos said?

That Oba deserves everything that happened to him and his palace, and more.

tamdun:
Lekki massacre made headlines because Lagos is more important to igbos than oyigbo right?

You see what I keep saying?

The average Nigerian is so ignorant, gullible and very far from intelligent.

You my friend are a shining example of the average Nigerian.

Ologogoro:
In Lagos, Igbos hold elected offices as well as appointment offices, can you say that in other Nigeria States ?

Yes this exists in other states too.

You should do a little more research on it.

Tulsaguy:
Is there anywhere in the whole of SE where another tribe is allowed or has attempted to contest an election before?

At least in SW, Lagos for instance Igbo, Kogi, Hausa every other tribes are allowed and won elections before. In the North, there are Yoruba and Igbo commissioners.

Tell me of one place in SE where you have seen one. Don't give me the excuse of who stopped them, you hardly even sell them landed properties to build not to talk of contesting an election.

Grow up please & accommodate, stop playing the victim cards.... It hasn't done you any good.

You just like the other people quoting me are just ignorant and lazy, and expect me to do research for you.

Go and do some research on what you talked about and come back.

Tulsaguy:
I am proudly Warri boy and I served in Enugu, so I know what am talking about. It's you guys that should grow up, stop playing victim card & chest beating.

You served in Enugu means you know about Igbos?

Na real waa.

Live in the east for at least five years and come back to this conversation.

uthlaw:
abeg keep quiet,a Yoruba or hausa man cannot buy land in ur region not to talk of contesting election!

You are just ignorant.

azzima:
In my over 40 yrs, I have SINCERELY not met a Yoruba that lived in the east or spoke Igbo BUT I have seen MILLIONS of the reverse.......What are you Negroes RUNNING FROM? Is there SOMETHING that I don't KNOW? Abeg develop your place!!!

Where in Nigeria have you lived asides SW?

I had a friend while growing up in the easr, Abraham.

He was Yoruba and spoke fluent Igbo.

We were very good friends.

Afamed:
Simple road signals/ rules they can not obey. Yet, Govt is to be blamed for every of their failure in life

Even advanced countries have traffic officers so what's your point?

stayclearofme:
Guy the guy is saying the truth. I lived in the East for years...the Easterners are not accommodating to that level.

Where did you live in the east?

Cos I know for a lot of wealthy Yoruba men in Enugu and Anambra who even married Igbo women and own houses and businesses in Enugu.

We all know the average Hausa man will never build a house outside their hometown.

So I ask again, where did you live in the east?

TheSociopath:
Even in the Igbo dominated areas in Lagos, ask yourself how you people behave there. In your myopic mind, Nigeria ends in Lagos and Ibadan

You obviously have a one digit IQ.

Please stay away from my mentions.

omenka:
I sympathize with the innocent ones caught in the imbroglio between the millitary and Ipob.

That said, it is interesting seeing the quietude in the South East in the face of what is happening. So much so that one Gidgiddi who prides himself as an Igbo leader on the forum waved it aside saying FORGET WIKE.

It is now obvious Igbos react to the death of Igbos depending on who is responsible for the killing.

We saw it with Peter Obi when he killed tens of Igbos in Akwuzu, and now Wike.

They even seemed more concerned about the incident at Lekki than this in Rivers, with nearly all Lekki threads running into no less than 8 pages!!

We live in very interesting times.

Let me make it clear to you.

You see, the average Igbo mam, while supporting Biafra will not support hoodlums going about harrassing people in the name of IPOB.

Also, there were shootings by police and military in places like Mushin and a few others but nobody took it up.

There is a reason why the Lekki massacre made international headlines.

If you cannot understand that reason then to Jesus be your glory.

Nobody in Igbo land supports criminals/hoodlums.

Tulsaguy:

Argumentum ad hominem.

Meanwhile, have you ever lived in the east?

Cos if you have, all these tripe won't be coming out your mouth.

TheSociopath:
Same way other tribes cannot contest in the East, don't be an hypocrite. Besides, we still have Igbos in elected positions

We all know how voters in Igbo dominated areas in Lagos were harrassed and beaten up for daring to exercise their franchise.

Who says other tribes can't contest in the east?

Have we seen any such incidents like the one I referred to above in the east?

Abeg carry yourself out of my mention, you that probably haven't ever left Lagos and Ibadan you're here telling me about how the Easterners are.

omenka:
It will pass. These events in the past few weeks have really opened our eyes to alot.

Everywhere, tension seems to be on the decline, except in Oyigbo, where the army, prompted by the Governor, is routing recalcitrant elements the governor claims have been wreaking havoc in the state.

Now, it is no mystery the people at the recieving end of Wike's anger, what is indeed near mystery is the quietude from the East.

In addition, characters like Fani Kayode, Reno, Deji
and indeed Wadata Plaza, who pride themselves as the ultimate defenders of Ndigbi have been eerily silent! Even Ohanaeze Ndigbo is quiet!

The reason behind this inactivity isnt far fetched, there is no way they can attack Wike without costing their preferred party some loses. In essense, they value the interest of party over and above the lives of Ndigbo. What then sets these crop of character apart from the devil himself?

This is an ongoing onslaught, yet, they dare not speak about it. They cant wait for it to pass over as though it never happened so they can carry on insulting the president, Tinubu and APC.

Ndigbo, use your tongue to count your teeth!

They're no longer IPOB miscreants in Oyingbo?

You never see anything

GavelSlam:
Stop the merry-go-round.

Celebrities such as Phyno have been alleged to receive funds to embark on protest.

This weighty allegation come from none other than the governor of Enugu state.

From this, one questions the motivation behind other celebrities.

Did you see any statement quoting Ugwuanyi?

That his media aide or adviser posted something on social media means it's the governor's belief?

Abeg reason well.

Omoslim26:
Ranting with so little sense made

The protest was a noble course with I am glad to have been part of and I am not indicating dat the protesters are the said hoodlums
Just imagine Nigeria will implode:!!!
Wel you can also take dis home Nigeria will be great again

swerve motherfucker!

When was Nigeria ever great?

And your initial post I replied implied that the protesters carried out the violence.

Make una continue to dey deceive unaselves say Nigeria as it is go better.

Unless fundamental changes are made to the foundation of the country, Nigeria will implode.

This is a fact that stares us in the face unless you want to play pretend.

Karlovich:
A peaceful and prosperous city before their warlord decided to send them to war.

Without mincing words this a very insensitive and callous statement.

Worse is you think it doesn't matter.

You make a dumb statement about something as sensitive as the civil war and think it doesn't matter.

One day, as everything in nature, you will receive the reward for your evil mindset. And it won't be long too.

Omoslim26:
But seriously the level of destruction melted out on the police force of recent is really terrible let's not forget dis peeps are brothers,fathers, uncles,and sons of the common Nigerian man
I took a stroll to onipanu,alade and ilaje bariga today and all I could see was a society devoid of common sense and reasonable judgement wen you destroy the police who then do you expect to tackle dis criminals roaming to and fro in our environment

You're just playing to the gallery.

Oh, you think the title of the country with the highest number of poor people is a joke?

Those people who did all the destruction were not the protesters but they were engaging in their own form of protests which is violence - something they have become accustomed to all their lives.

You can take it to the bank that one day Nigeria will implode and the downtrodden, the poor masses, will take out their anger on everyone.

Tick tock motherfuckér!

Macphenson:
Ok

Overtime this issue has been a subject of debate and concern. I remember sometime last year I travelled to see my family in the east and we were having this debate. Here is what I told them.

First of all we all agreed something is wrong in ASO ROCK, but can't point out exactly what it is because no concrete evidence like DNA and other forensic analysis.

I remember telling them that for Donald Trump to have met with Buhari in white House proves that he is the one, and Trump's lifeless being statement also proves Buhari is terribly sick. If it is not the real Buhari, he won't be given clearance by the WHITE HOUSE to see POTUS. even if Trump wants to do it on his own, CIA, FBI and other intelligence agencies in America won't allow him to do that.


Secondly, Buhari attending the UNITED NATIONS GENERAL ASSEMBLY and addressing the world leaders also affirms he is the one. For those who can remember, when he got to the assembly, his security details were kept aside and a woman was assigned to be his detail althrough the time of the assembly.

If he is the impostor "JUBRIN" some world leaders ( the likes of PUTIN) won't seat down and be listening to an impostor "JUBRIN" addressing them in the United Nations Assembly, they won't tolerate such nonsense which is even a big security risk for them as terrorist can explore that option and cause serious destruction.

Please be guided, I totally agree that something is wrong in ASO ROCK but nobody can prove it now with hard core evidences.

What I think is, probably Buhari is alive and terribly sick but there is also a "JUBRIN" whom they use as a double to attend to some state functions. I remember seeing a picture where "BUHARI" was putting on a face mask and the face mask bent his ear, obviously proving that it's a rubber ear and not a human ear.


The shooting in ASO ROCK also affirms that Buhari has totally lost control.

Believe you me, if Buhari was dead, the likes of Obasanjo, SARAKI , DINO MELAYE etc would have long voiced it out loud and clear to the Nation as they are not in the good books of the President and the Presidency. Even Tinubu will play the political game so that Osibanjo will take over which has always been his dream.

The Yoruba elites would have voiced it more than Even Nnamdi Kanu so that power will automatically return to South West .

I remember telling my uncle that NNAMDI KANU was hasty in making that statement public, he would have waited a little and see if there's a way he would gather some hard core forensic evidences to buttress his point. His saying it then only made them to up their game, and tighten every loose end.

See the below tweet screenshot.

Verify it yourself.

That tweet hasn't been deleted up till today.

Yes I agree there's no concrete evidence, but something is terribly wrong at Aso rock.

kimjongJezebel:
All those paid and conscienless miscreants here on Nairaland and other social media outlets who denied the shooting will also die by guns fired by the same useless security agencies. Amin. Even the Governor of the state, who receives security briefings, immediately went on Air to say that forces beyond his control ordered soldiers to shoot at people.

People can't be this heartless as to defend obvious truth. We're talking about innocent blood here. Why will someone go as far defending soldiers that killed innocent people in cold blood? For how much?! I can't believe it really

Lmao.

When the killed IPOB members, Nigerians defended them.

When they massacred Shi'ites, Nigerians defended them.

Una never see anything.

Better wake up and smell the coffee

Franzinni:
when I say Lagos is a country of its own them go dey yimu...you see am, proactive decisions with the citizens interest first, this is how to curtail excesses when it comes to the power crazy armed robbers/ serial killers we have as security agents

the panel should be swift and decisive, any officer found guilty should be prosecuted and send to prison and they should tatoo dismissed SARS on his fore head so inmates will know what to do with him or her in prison .

and they should start wearing bodycam that will help stop the madness because every report that comes in will have a video feed to back the story ...no more dem say dem say.

see to advance is not hard but the powers that be won't let that happen in Nigeria because they have to keep the status quo.

They can only recommend the officers for prosecution but don't have the powers themselves to prosecute them.

Sanwo is doing what the useless president we have is supposed to have done a week ago.

Are we sure Buhari is sane? Even alive?

Cos I don't know how difficult it is to give executive orders for killer officers to be immediately arrested and prosecuted. Evidences abound of these officers actions.

medusky:
This warning is from Islamic Nigerian Army. I think there is a problem looking @ d LOGO!!!!!

There is no problem at all.

That arabic inscription has always been on the NA logo.

You just woke up so good morning.

uvie66:
I am with the government on this issue, SARS have been disbanded, what else do you guys want. I say send the army out now.

Justice for all confirmed victims of police brutality, especially immediate arrest and prosecution of officers that shot at or manhandled protesters.

Total overhaul of the police force.

These two are a good start.

Muna4real:
No you can't meet me

Lol.

Okay.

I actually do not necessarily mean physical meeting.

Get to know you at least?

Muna4real:
Honestly, I don't know how God created the brain of some people because I am not sure he created it with dust. The fact that I am still stuck with these same people in the same country is very sad. Okay nndigbo killed your leaders and made mockery of you. You also killed their leaders and made mockery of them which is true. Why then killing people on the streets? Is that not the highest height of goatism? This is why I don't blame nndigbo when they call them jealous because it is what they are showing from their actions. It is only jealousy and I mean pure jealousy that will lead some people to display such acts and nothing more. And after the killings you expect them to clap and dance for you. Or you expect them to share free rice and beans. Where on earth does that happen? Go and try that nonsense to other tribes in the world and see their reaction. It is only in Nigeria that an ethnic group is expected to rejoice over the killing of their men and woman.

Hey there ☺️

I love the way you express your thoughts here, you seem interesting.

Can I get to meet Muna?

Course we'll take it off here
