Ofodirinwa:


so take business and money out of private hands, put it in government hands, then complain of unemployment and corruption 2 years later?

you do realize the government has a responsibility of providing civil service jobs as well right?

buckeyemedia:
Lagos Colony, EKo Nigeria, is not Yoruba property, go & do your research properly, Lagos is not a Yoruba word, neither in history did Oduduwa or the Oyo Empire reach or conquer Lagos, The Omo Oba of Benin would have sent them to an early grave for trespassing on his Empire stretching from Benin Town to Porto Novo. Lagos Colony got its independence in 1861, was amalgamated with Southern Nigeria in 1906 by Lord Frederick Lugard, Lagos State is the Property of The Federal Republic of Nigeria, you can pack your imaginary Oduduwa & go back to the forest of Oyo & Ile-Ife. Nonsense & Ingredients.

Yoruba Nation is already in existence. If you don't know that it's a mindset before it becomes a reality you must not be paying attention. I agree with him.

Impressive.. Dj sWITCH and her cohorts must not be allowed access to any of those facilities.

The lying bit.ch hasn't made a single comment about UGM and the killings going on in South East. It's how to insult Yoruba leaders and destroy infrastructures in South West they know.

very unsurprising. I always wondered if she would do the same if these things were going on in the east.

forgiveness:



Most of them are ignorant hence needs to be educated about the reality and facts on ground.

If not for this security issue we are facing, we would have done better than this.

That's mainly the northern sympathetic nature to boko haram and their ideology. They can easily crush them but they see them as their brothers.

I've said this before but I'll say it again. If not for Nigeria and the problem it brings (over population on the southwest, reducing GDP per capita and job availability, over bearing our electricity capacity, even Osun has great electricity, that's because of low population) Yoruba Nation would've been like Egypt/ Morroco/South Africa by now. Nigeria is greatly holding Yorubas back.

The Greek are white, but they are not the same as the Germans at all. One country is barely sustainable, the other is an incredibly run, intelligent, and wealthy country. Yorubas are not the same as Fulanis. Igbos are smart and hardworking as well, but they lack the capacity to build a top tier nation as a group as they're too individualistic. Yorubaland that had the first tv station in Africa and the first skyscraper in sub Saharan Africa in1963, is struggling to build more in 2021. Clearly something has gone massively wrong. The difference between now and then is Yorubas controlled everything in the regional system, now decisions run through the central government, largely dominated by northern states.

Goke7:


If we can get rid of okada in Lagos, there will be so much sanity

Agree 100%. Ban of okada and completion of public transit trains will change Lagos overnight. Both of which Sanwo Olus is already working on. Kudos to him. He's working. One thing about Tinubu is he doesn't pick dullards. He knows how to pick smart and hard working leaders. Better than anyone else.

Wow this is a fantastic development. Maintenance is key. We need more real estate developers for surrounding areas.

Goke7:


You're exaggerating, electricity yes and if fixed there will no basis for comparison, but apart from the beautiful ferries that take people across to Zanzibar, I don't think there's anything more fanciful.

You can never convince him. He's IPOB. Their entire reality is focused on rubbishing Nigeria by any means necessary to ensure their Biafra comes to pass. Nigeria can develop all it wants, Igbos will always hate it. They will forever rubbish Nigeria no matter what, that is why I'm for referendum.

As we are getting closer and closer to disintegrating this failed British experiment called Nigeria, it is time to start thinking of the next steps. Supporters of each nation needs to take the time to email their local governor's office and tell them you would like the southern governors to come together and disintegrate this country. This FAILED experiment has lasted long enough.

It is our rights as humans and citizens to demand they take action on the things we care about.

Step One: Visit the Nigerian Governors list website, and find your respective states at the link below.

https://nggovernorsforum.org/index.php/the-ngf/governors


Step 2: Go to the website, scroll to the bottom and select "contact us" or "send a mail".

Step 3: Write your support for disintegrating Nigeria and your frustrations with this country.

God Bless Us All!

OfoIgbo:


Yoruba needs help from the whole of Nigeria before they can face Igbos. They will also need British support.
Fulanis need the help of everyone before they can confront Igbos.

Only Wakili chased Yorubas to Benin Republic

Losers make excuses. He's right. The fact remains. One Awolowo pen stroke = 3 Million Igbos lives in his hands. You want to test it again? There are ten more Awolowo's this time around. Tinubu could probably end Igbos in Lagos singlehandedly.

flokii:
This is the kind of news you'll see Igbos carrying.. hope you've satisfied your urge to hate on Yorubas.

Don't mind them. Operation Python 2.0 is loading and they refuse to face their masters yanking on their chain.

seunmsg:


In very clear terms, Odumakin does not speak for the Yoruba race so, let nobody get this twisted. Nnamdi kanu and his ipob group are Yoruba haters and not allies. We will not support them when the seed of discord and violence that they've been sowing eventually germinates.

agreed

Edu3Again:

The hatred you display for us is obvious.
So we are leaving una.

That's good

Dumaknesset:


Calm yourself bro! Assuming but not conceding that what your informant told you is true, the land starting from Ajah to lekki and even part of epe are under government acquisition, except few that have been excised by the Lagos State government.Those guys are buying air, if they are even buying as much as you are positing.

Furthermore, fact that igbos dominate a mall should not be used as parameter to who owns what and to what extent.

Real estate as an allied industry to my profession is about 80 percent if I am to Hazard it, belongs to Yorubas. Take Tinubu real estate alone on that axis, the eleganza's, etc.

Finally, it is the law that all lands in any state of Nigeria belong to the governor of that state and who ever bought land is only holding it in trust for the governor. So these ibos are tenants to Lagos state government, hence need to obtain cofo or consent from the government.So Sol tempo-calm your self.

I hear what you're saying, and you're right considering all that you mentioned. However I do believe things are changing slowly to accommodate the influx of people from other regions. And I don't think Yorubas tend to gain anything from this relationship with Nigeria other than Nigeria saturating the region with their migrants and giving nothing in return. I wouldn't go as far as to say the southwest should secede, but regional government should be our top priority.

new2020:


Afoonja as expected. They will rail about Lagos but fail to realize over 70% of the companies and industries are owned by Igbos, the rest by other Nigerians and Foreigners. 90% of companies in Ogun are owned by Foreigners.

Igbo as expected. You all love that 70% number. but I understand why you'd want to claim Lagos, because it'll be the single greatest achievement your people have ever made. You don't have an empire or statues or bronzecasting to be proud of. IF you even continued 70% to Lagos which is just false.


But how does that change the fact that the southwest is a global target for investment and job creation? Why would a region clamor for secession and instability when we are the prime location for investment in Nigeria? Does that make sense to you?

Guestlander:
Nigeria is not some destination we have to go to or leave, we are already where God created us to be. Only Nigeria can cease to exist, Yorubaland will remain forever.

true, but that is not an answer to the posed hypothetical question

One thing igbo people don't realize about the Yorubas is that the two states that are doing better than any other in Nigeria, is Lagos first, and ogun second. So though we don't rely on the federal government allocations to develop, we are still growing in development (in Lagos) and manufacturing (in ogun). The two states are next to each other, and they allow people to live and have jobs. There is little reason for Yorubas to clamor for secession. This is why I always laugh when Igbos are surprised Yorubas aren't clamoring. It's two different environments. You can't even see Igbos in the southwest clamoring for secession because they have jobs and they're making money. Understand that the two regions are different on the ground. Clearly the southwest has been somewhat released from the burden on the FG holding it back. But the South east hasn't yet.

raker300:
Lol...

Add "biafra" to the topic and see yorubas flooding in.

Trust me, it always works

Lol well let me give it a try.

AkinPhysicist:
The Igbos should start listing the names of these '70%' companies they own in Lagos. I assume they are man enough to take up this challenge. We are waiting. U na go hear am today.

I've always laughed as you do. And I don't know about 70%, but it's relatively true. They are beginning to own the majority of the most valuable part of Lagos. I asked a family member who does properties and real estate in the prime properties in Lagos because I wanted to know the truth from a trusted source. He said without question ibos own the majority of the valuable properties near the free trade zone and other prime areas. He's also in a mall business, and has stated that every single one of the occupants in his mall is occupied by Ibos. Not some of the occupants, not most of the occupants, but every single one. I'm telling you this because you need to know that this is no laughing matter anymore, this is a very serious matter. Yorubas can't continue to be stupid. It's getting out of hand. We are too accommodating and if things continue as they are, we'll regret it.

Bumping this for the seriousness of the subject matter? No Yorubas with no opinions?

Oh wow! This is amazing! He's definitely a futurist

The question is in the title and posed to all Yoruba people. Should there be any them of balkanization, should the southwest stay in Nigeria or leave forever to the new Odua Republic? Give me your opinion. Honest replies only, and no derailing from others. Stay on topic.

cc mynd44

I'm glad someone said it. This is exactly what our family was saying when we left the airport

Once Yorubas agree in totality to leave Nigeria, it will be balkanized. Yorubas hold the future of Nigeria in their hands.

First this man is living in fantasy if he thinks we'll stay with the southeast. We don't need anyone in Yorubaland, Nigeria needs us, that is why they flood our lands by the millions every year. They aren't improving their regions and they are creating more of a burden for southwest government. AND IT IS HOLDING US BACK! That's why Fashola had to deport some people, and he was attacked by the media, instead of them to focus on the laziness of the other regions in creating a conducive environment for their people.

Imagine if we had our own country since the Awolowo days? We already developed a network television system even BEFORE many Asian countries and FIRST in Africa. We were at the FOREFRONT of the technological revolution. We went from leading in technology, to now not even able to have consistent electricity. We had free education, unified culture, etc. All at the beginning of Independence. Now we're stuck here as Nigeria continues to leech is dry.

We have Nobel prize winners in Wole Soyinka, we have the most famous African artist in Fela Kuti, and Wizkid, our movies dominate Nigerian Cinema, the best film director in Nollywood is yoruba (Kunle Afolayan). We have brilliant people in science, doctors who can separate Siamese twins, the first African to fly around the world solo was a Yoruba man. And the largest online Nigerian forum we are all communicating with now was created by who? A Yoruba man. I can list so much more but you get the point. Everything POSITIVE and famous about Nigeria is due to the Yoruba.

Please, let us go our own way and watch us turn Odua into Switzerland in 20 years time.

One thing is certain, ogun is moving. 2 years ago they weren't 2nd in IGR. Now they're number 2 right behind Lagos. DAWN must be working.

I am convinced the Yoruba have elevated to being the Igbos god. Everything they do, they bring yoruba. They wake up and go to sleep thinking about yoruba. They think we control everything about them. It's hilarious and quite flattering really. I'm going to start going along with it.

Yes, the cabal of Yoruba masterminds have put together a media hurricane against the ibos. We are everywhere and nowhere at the same time. We see everything and know all of your secrets. We control everything about the Ibos. You better beg for forgiveness or else!!!

BORNTOSUCKPUSSY:
we are not going anywhere lagos is a no mans land,cry till enternity igbo man coming to buy your fathers house and send you packing to osogbo

this is the same kind of mentality and rhetoric that got 3 million Igbos killed. And it's as clear as day.
