Racoon:
Wetin concern Peter Obi here? Whether he condemns or not, he is a failure,or criminal and can never be president according to you lots. Are you not satisfy with that yet?

This whole evil was hatched and promoted by those who Love it. It is in the nation that Remi Tinubu, MC Oluomo, Bayo Onanuga and even Femi Fani-Kayode (who is married to an Igbo) openly insulted the Igbo race but nothing was done. Hope the government that be are mindful of this "hate speech"?

So love or hate, you can not and never dehumanize the Igbo race. Who God blessed, no man can curse. Continue

You're clearly deflecting because you can't address the actual point. Nobody said Yoruba people didn't sacrifice for Lagos. But the issue here is not about general loss of land to public development that’s a separate conversation, and frankly, not what this is about.

The original comment was calling out the arrogance, entitlement, and tribal superiority complex some people parade around as if Lagos owes them something more than others, despite the fact that Lagos was built by the collective effort of diverse Nigerians, Yoruba included, but not exclusively.

Losing family land to public institutions like army barracks or INEC offices isn’t unique to you or your tribe, it's happened all over Nigeria. Trying to use that as a counterpoint to the call-out of tribal bîgótry is a weak attempt to dodge accountability. It’s not victimisation to state historical facts and challenge revisionist entitlement.

So let’s stay on topic: If you’re going to beat your chest about "owning" Lagos and telling others to “do their worst,” don’t get sensitive when people remind you that Lagos is bigger than your surname, your big.otry and your ego. This isn't Igbo vs Yoruba, it's ignorance vs truth. Try not to confuse the two.

Sheuns:
The rooster will come home to roost for those people supporting hooliganism in Lagos state just because those hooligans temporarily shift their attention to their “perceived enemies”.

No one ever associated with area boys in the past, but now we have a political party that emboldens them just because they feel they’re useful to them now.

What do you mean by area boys, the NURW union or the IPOB because one is rendering service while the other is killing people

Boko Haram started out just like this.

omowolewa:
We are expecting more people driven policies. Creating Processing Companies will do this

Dalohad:
I think you got the spelling wrong.

It is 'Emelecorn'...

madridguy:
Well if you said so but seeing the Lamba master gallivanting around Lagos over the demolition in trade fair still doesn't go well with me.

kettykin:
The worst form of submission is continuing to empower a system that sidelines you.
Imagine if every Igbo entrepreneur and consumer consciously boycotted goods, services, and products headquartered in Lagos , from telecommunications and banking to oil, gas, and corporate giants profiting from the East while paying taxes elsewhere.

Picture the inauguration of a strategic economic revival team that mandates every Igbo business operating in Lagos to establish a parallel enterprise in the East under a new brand identity before being licensed to trade locally. Add to that a sales tax on goods not produced in the East, and a cultural policy ensuring at least 10% airtime for artists and content creators based in the region.

The message is simple and urgent,The East must wake up, organize, and reclaim its own economic destiny.
We are empowering Lagos too much , now that Lagos has turned into the economic powerhouse of yorubas, any business on the east paying tax tp Lagos should be treated with less priority.


Please notice I left out the churches out of reverence for God.

Ofunaofu:
When I see comments like this, I genuinely regret and wonder where some of you crawl out from. Lagos is telling who to ‘do their worst’? You beat your chest and, yet your family doesn’t even own a plot the size of a Keke parking spot in Lagos. Lagos was built by sweat, sacrifice, and the hands of people from all over Nigeria and beyond. Some of you only stumbled into Lagos yesterday, clinging to a Yoruba surname like it’s a deed of ownership, shouting entitlement as if history started with you. Calm down being loud doesn’t make you right, it just makes you noisy.

Streetinvestor2:
noU forgot to take the pills. Like u have the east west road, like u have the edo road like u have sapele to warri road.like Umahi -uyo to calabar that is all death traps
I know the problem of ur type u have never left ur SW zone.So u may never know about these roads I mentioned. They are all in SS

ibedun:
I don’t understand Yoruba leadership with their slow to act and silence in the face of sheer provocation. I don’t know where this obsession with Lagos is heading oooo because these people have lost it totally. They must be cured of the madness one way or another.

Scarrr:
if we investigate this one sef...it's very slim he go come out all clean 😏

EvilMerodack:
Did you see his attached pic? When it happened in Anambra state, those senators didnt gather to investigate what happened, but once it happened outside SE, they suddenly care

greatiyk4u:
There was compensation to the affected traders

favor914:
What kind of thinking is this, are u a child, how can Tinubu implement true federalism, do u even understand what federalism is?

DeepSight:
How do you know my state and how do you know I am not Lagosian?



I am no "outsider."
And I do not appreciate the architects of corruption. narcotics and destruction of federalism.



If you are sincere, you will look at all the issues I raised and think deeply concerning the corruption involved.

DeepSight:
I live in Lagos, where I was also born and have lived my whole life. Spent a while at Eko Atlantic recently too. What were you seeing that was out of this world? Have you lived a deprived life?

Birminghamvirgo:
The indigenous languages in Lagos are: Awori, Ijebu and Ogu(Egun)... While both Awori and Ijebu are sub-Yoruba dialects just like Ibadan, Oyo, Igbonna(Igbomina) etc... Ogu as language is spoken by the Egun people found predominantly in Badagry area in Lagos and some parts of Ogun State that shared border with Badagry in Lagos... Meanwhile, the Yoruba dialect that is generally spoken by all Lagosians is the corrupted version of Awori mixed with Ijebu, blended and fine-tuned!
Coz most of the terms contained in the general dialect could be traced etimologically to either Ijebu or Awori terms

grandstar:
Awori, Ijebu fall under Yoruba. No mistake here.

Only Egun can be categorised as a second language.

Ibadanfarmroad:
Is everything alright at home? You just sit down dey type without direction.

Language as used in the text means distinct language.

The people you listed are all Yoruba though with different dialect.

Uchesis:
Yea, the same way Davido was swarming all over Chioma abi?

Our women are fair naturally. They don't rub bleaching cream like some Yelo-bar ladies

enemyofprogress:
What do we call this for God's sake? Why would he put his hand in that kind of place? Is this not sexual harassment? If this was done by Peter Obi, internet will by now be on fire.

WizardOfNG:
Lol. DomPerignon living rent free in the heads of Obidient to the extent they have to create a thread exclusively about him to weep about his savaging of their Agulu messiah.

Long live DomPerignon. Please press their head harder. Nothing more pleasurable in life than severe painment for Obidients.😎

zelnababa:
oga, Awori and ijebu is dialect under Yoruba just like egba, ijesha ondo, Akoko, ekiti,etc
