Speak beyond tribalism. There are stupid and rude people in all tribes. You have no right to generalise. I made it clear that all tribes live everywhere. You are free to argue with yourself.

Obi1kenobi:
Your ramblings here betray an insecure person and not anyone with "confidence and nobility". Will never cease to be amazed by how primitive our politics is. In the 21st century, where advanced civilizations are solving humanities problems in tech and medicine and biotechnology and space exploration etc, you're here arguing about who "owns Lagos", one of the most unlivable megaslums on the planet, as if your tribe owning it adds anything of value to your life. If many of you were not ravaged with low self-esteem, you wouldn't desperately need constant validation about how you "own" a state that happened to be the Nigerian capital for 76 years.

Emotional rants mean nothing...!

Study your nation's constitution before making empty noise online!

Lagos is the commercial capital of Nigeria! Period!

chudez0147:
You dey mind the mugu ?? Lagos wey him fit be tenant . Maybe his even from Osun

Angelfrost:
"Our State"?!! Lol!


Everyone is conveniently a Lagosian... Even those from Ekiti, Ogun, Oyo, Osun, Kwara, etc!

All of una wan die put for Eko!

Agberocracy is not a type of government.

Every tribe lives everywhere but because of politics, you've become an idiot to tribalism.

Even if politics has caused many people to have their vision impaired and mindset politically disorganized, I'm willing to help you out for free. If you consider the Awori or Bini to be the indigenous community that once owned Eko, the land that is now Lagos State, or that they met the Yoruba people there when they came, then you should refer to them as Bini/Awori or both since they were the first settlers. It is of the utmost importance that we comprehend the past within its appropriate setting.

On the other hand, one may posit that the Yorubas are the rightful owners of Eko. No arguments. But why does it matter to politicians?

The government of Nigeria made the decision in December 1991 to relocate the nation's capital to Abuja, which is located in the middle of the country. Prior to that time, Lagos served as the nation's capital. Lagos was already established as the capital of Nigeria. What is more, it was referred to as Lagos, British Nigeria. Let's not pretend it wasn't very developed. It was even during colonial era because it was a good spot for colonial masters to perfect their exploitation.

And would you believe it? Many decades before Tinubu began his political career, members of the Igbo tribe and people from other tribes had already established a presence in Lagos. Even before and after the war!

Does this mean people from other tribes don't stay in the East?

Well, the last time I checked, there are significantly more Hausa and Yoruba people in Aba, for example, than there are the Igbo. If you doubt, visit the main markets in the East. In point of fact, there is a location there referred to as "Mosque" that is set aside specifically for them. There's another place called "Ala Hausa." And there is no interference with them as they go about their job. And not just these places, they live amongst indigenes. Do a survey: the Hausas in the East are allowed to go even to the deepest part in the villages... I mean, the cobblers. And they are never disturbed. In addition to this, they have been able to form friendships and even intermarry with the locals. If you also know the thousands of way-billed commodities leaving the east every day from people from other tribes who patronise what is sold in the East, you'll calm down like me. And I also know this happens also in every state!

You must be surprised!

In the markets too, there are innumerable Yorubas in big Igbo markets like the Ariaria, Ngwa Road Market, Main Markets among others. As they are Igbos in Yoruba lands and every other places in Nigeria. These Yorubas blend in easily and are never seen as immigrants.

In my house, there's a Yoruba man and a Hausa man here, and they are one of the lovely people I've seen. Remove tribal politics and you'll understand that the main people who should be hated are the politicians. Whether you call anyone Nyamiri, or Ndi Ofe Mmanu, or Aboki(mostly in derogatory sense) it is very stupid to think you are superior to others. No apologies.


In Togo, for instance, the Igbo population predominates in the country's two largest markets, Asiyeye and Asiganmi. This is one example of the Igbo migration. The situation is similar in Wurukum, which is located in Benue.

In Biu in Borno State, before the insurgency, their market woman liaise well with the Igbos and good women from other tribes.

In Alaba International Market, Lagos, it's the same thing. Is bringing business and revenues for the state a bad thing? Rather than concentrate on the business mind, you caption it that they come in “night buses“ and then “insult the owners.“ Why all these political hate for a tribe? What does night buses denote? Poverty? Even you and I know that the Igbo tribe isn't a poor one.


How and why?

I grew up with the Hausas and if I were to choose a more peaceful people, I'll choose them. I also stayed in Lagos and a typical Yoruba man really has no problems. Forget political business, the yorubas give you a free vibe and belonging. I did my whole nursery, primary and secondary school there so I can tell you for free that they are lovely people. I stayed in the East too. I think the major thing an Igbo man concentrates on is to feed his family. As in, everyone is concentrating to survive and survive others. Even as a stranger, you are carried along on happenings in the East. 😎 In Esan, Edo, it's just a struggle to not be poor. 💯 In Benue, the market at NASME junction, North Bank, is dominated by Igbos, yorubas and Hausas and they cooperate in one mind. If one doesn't have, he directs you to his neighbours from other tribes... that's beautiful. Apart from the Tiv and Idoma differences, they still live peacefully. Even in cultism-dominated areas in North Bank, you can still survive as much as you mind your business. 😮‍💨 In Kaduna, everyone lives their lives without prejudice. Na only government I see wey dey cause tribal and religious differences.😒 In Kogi, the lovely people I so admire, esp the Ebira people, like who get your time when everyone wants to survive? 🥱 How about the Akwa Ibomites? They are very comely to strangers, and they have very beautiful ladies.🙂 In Bayelsa, dem go wan use food kee you. I mean very fresh food. I love the Bayelsa people jare. 😘 I've stayed only in Abeokuta and Ibadan and I can tell you that intelligent people lives and are made there. Apart from that, young people are quick to make friends with you. No 🧢.

Then how come politicians make it as though we are enemies?

Do we genuinely despise one another? A laughable falsehood. In fact, I tell you today that we love one another but because of the political pride created by our leaders, we refuse to accept it. I can't let any politician recruit me to hate a tribe...I rather hate the recruiter.

There are Nigerians living in every country in the world! And in certain locations, they can point to communities to their name. Migration is ingrained in the human psyche and behavior!

In the UK, yeah, everyone knows about the racism there. We complain a lot about it. But the new normal in Africa is that we are also horrible racists. In our tribes, I mean our main tribes, we also exclude some clans as inferior or outcasts...maybe due to our numbers. Even if Nigeria is divided, you'll notice that each tribe will still create internal tribalism amongst themselves. That's how bad your leaders are.


Back to discussion, of all the tribes littered everywhere, why are the Igbos the only people you feel are immigrants to Lagos? Isn't it constituted that everyone can live anywhere? Are the Igbos the only tribe in Lagos?

You aren't politically learned then!

Is it because there's an Igbo man in the political race? Is this why the Igbo tribe are always in your mouths? Is Tinubu from Lagos himself? Tinubu is from Iragbiji in Osun state...and instead of hating people stealing from you, you hate people they program you to hate.

I've always maintained that whatever anybody does, blame the person not the place.



Politically-wise and otherwise, if you cannot reason out the bloodline of political sentiments by politicians using you as a pawn, you will remain a pawn to every political narrative.

Back to Lagos, like I always say, if the money that has been stolen in Lagos was stolen in America. Americans would be refugees in Nigeria. And this isn't just about Lagos, it's about our politicians. If the monies that have been stolen in all states in Nigeria were shared to all Nigerians equally, everyone would be a trillionaire...I mean, even if you have to reincarnate five times.

From what I see on Nairaland, ditch the presidential aspirants, na most Nigerians foolish abeg. The muscle una dey use dey fight unaselves is a thing of fancy. You dey support who know even know if you are among the living or dead and want to kill over it. You are a fool. Yes, you.

The three main contestants are all failures yet some are killing themselves over them. Some are dead already and more will still die. Same politicians who'd still meet and eat together after the elections. They call it politics and not physical war; but na your skull dey roll.


We preach loving one's neighbour on every religious day but never practice it. It seems our Bibles and Qurans are only for Sunday mornings and Fridays...while our evil remains intact. No apologies.

It's very right for me to conclude and say common sense is not very common in the common man.


Idiocy per excellence.

Nbote:
The audacity some of this ediots have is becoming embarrassing and annoying. Is lagos his hometown? Was lagos not a former Federal Capital?? The people that came to Lagos are they not paying their taxes and the various revenues by the govt? Are they staying in free accommodation and eating free govt money and positions??


Even the Gbagyi's wey b original indigenes of Abuja have been relegated to tenants in their own land that's why those who don't know like you believe hausas or abokis own abuja

Britishcoins:
Hmm,thanks... Exactly what is disturbing me here.. The nsukka girl seem so hard working, each time she visits my shop she is always willing to help.. Though the other girl has never visited and she does not look like someone who can work.. Her major commodity to offer is beauty.. I am not even interested in it..

habsydiamond:
Those 900 sacked workers will be joining the long lists of jobless Nigerians.. Apc tried oo cos dem created jobs like Npower a 2years job What is expected of the participants after that 2years To become jobless again.. excuse me please, is that a job

poturatt:
All BRT money goes to Tinubu's nephew.
All market levies go to Tinubu's daughter
All billboard levies go to Tinubu's son
All taxes and tolls levies go to Tinubu

When I look at the billions Tinubu is taking home monthly just because he is Lagos ex-governor and I look at how Peter Obi rejected everything, including his gratuity,

Just Imagine these

1. President Bola Tinubu in charge of the Treasury & NDLEA (to check heroin trafficking)
2. Vice President Shettima in charge of Security and Counter Terrorism (like he promised)
3. Senior Advocate Festus Keyamo as Attorney General
4. Nasir El-rufai as Minister of Defense
5. Ganduje as Minister of Finance
6. MC Oluomo as Minister for Transport
7. Adamu Garba as Minister of information


I must confess I am very tempted to vote Obi BUT as a professional tribal bigot and naturally wicked, utterly hopeless and irredeemable Urchin, I will vote BAT

dettolgel:
I know you will come back to throw your usual half baked lies.

Is it not in that same kingdom of fallen demons of yours that an Oba threatened people because of their choice of candidates in an election? And in your warped mind you still don't think that was hatred and tribalism? I fear who no fear the children of fallen demons.

Very hateful and tribalistic and denomic set of people. Your Obas and leaders were busy insulting and cajoling GEJ it is in the print media for the world to see, you cowards and half wits should try it with Buhari and see whin.

After 2015 elections you lots were busy peddling lies and name calling now we all know that your people are the hypocritical double faced and hateful tribe.

My dear it is not even up to a month you guys have started destroying things from Ondo to Ekiti to Lagos and tomorrow you idiots will come out to claim sophisticated.

My dear you can rant and cry me a river all you want, infact your tears gives me joy

On cashless policy every loving Nigerians stand on, you hateful lots can burn down your states if you choose 'we no care".

I know you nitwit will come back to insult your father thinking you are exchanging words with me

georgeakins:
Ibos are the worst human species I have ever seen.

They hate successful people once they're not Ibos. The fake love they displayed towards Jonathan was because of what they were getting and they're the ones who messed up his government

dettolgel:
Do you know how retarded you sound. How many Igbos there are and how many have confirmed to you whether they love or hate Tinubu?

Why are you people so tribalistic and demonic?

Your SW is declining into chaos ( you guys are embarrassed because after all the monkery of SE for voting Buhari now you guys are the ones bearing the brunt of his high handedness instead of facing him you are dragging Igbos into it) you are here making uninformed sweeping statement of people whose majority of them you have neither lived with or interviewed to hear their view.

Until you remove hatred from your life you shall never amount to anything useful.

Flee from hatred and tribalism and see how you prosper beyond your wildest dreams.

Mcslize:
Oh! You used to support him before now? Your eyes don finally clear be that o? Na this one we dey call post clarity o.

No o Ogbeni you must support Tinubu by fire by force. How can someone with functional brain and some of the so-called youth be supporting what have put them in suffering for good 8 yrs and still want to vote same party into power with an old man? No be JuJu be that?

Jack500:
To those fools above saying it is a sponsored protest, I hope you are seeing money to spend. Even banks doesn't have money. Uselessss animals.


My fellow Nigerians, the only way your money will not turn to paper is to vote Tinubu, If you miss that opportunity, your money has gone

Vote Tinubu for president

gard9ner:
My brother, honestly you’re an original, as you can see I created this account now just to comment, I deactivated my account last year but I couldn’t resist your discussion.

Your topic is deeper than most people realise, I’ve so much I want to pour out but let me hold my peace. Just know you’re not alone and nothing is wrong with you. I’ve so many stories too as I practically grew up surrounded and still surrounded by woman. Bro, a lot of people will take it personal if I share my many stories but I just want to tell you that God almighty created them for a purpose, I’ve read some very beautiful comments here, including the guy that buttressed how only emotional people can succeed in health and child care, that was insightful.

Trust me when I say they are full of it, I lost some amount of money I don’t want to mention because of my own mother! In another example I lost a court case with my tenant who owes me over half a million because my mom went behind me to beg the tenant who was already losing the case and even dashed the simp some money to park out, his lawyer took advantage of my mom, recorded her and used her “good intention” against me with other lies, I was so mad that I almost told her to leave my house. I’m sure that someone will call it emotional intelligence from her but you haven’t heard the full story and it isn’t as it seems. Back in school I dated a girl who all her problem was how to pierce her body and draw tattoos which I never argued, I told her it will look great on her, she smiled and gave me whatever I asked for, but alas before she graduated she was in regrets as the inks are permanent. I can go on and on but the truth is come hell come high water we must live with them; so bro, do what you can, don’t hate them just live peaceably with them by agreeing to any arguments they pose as long as it doesn’t affect your goals in life. Smile and tell them that they are doing well when it’s too late and they run to you crying be a shoulder to lean on without saying much, this is their nature and we must learn to grow with it (I mean find our own unique way to deal or adapt with them).

Privatepart00:

How old is he ?
Crayon plastered face shouldn’t be mistaken for beauty
They would soon divorce
I wouldn’t be surprised when it happen

Still wondering why the Oando and Conoil fueling station in my area hasn’t dispensed fuel for more than six months counting
Is Rainoil fueling station privately owned? How they adjust pump price is shocking
All the fueling station selling above N400 for a liter how heartless could they be

Deuteronomy 28:15-68 shall be your portion and your families if you fail to vote Obi


And all your days on earth shall be cursed. You will have long life in penury, pain, sorrow, and affliction. Your families shall perish in sorrow.

You call this grown up lady 9yr old? This kind girl cant be in my custody make I no knack am.

Nijagogetsense:
Like I said this election is very personal to me. It will be a determinant to our personal growth, acceleration and development for the next eight years.

For those supporting APC, it shall never be well with you and your families. It shall never be well with you and your future generations. The calamity of APC will befall on you.
And to all APC bots on nairaland, you shall never make it. Calamities, bad news will never be far from your household. Your lives will be likened to the way APC rule Nigeria.

Obi is our choice!

Reportbutton:
I love this, this shows that he's human, and he's not on drugs, only druggies get their eyes all open..
God bless tinubu, God bless apc, God bless Nigeria...
No matter what is said about him, my vote belongs to jagaban 😍

Headachetoigboh:
Two men were governors, Asiwaju Bola TINUBU in Lagos State and
Peter Obi in Anambra . Towards the end of their second term, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu in Lagos sent his retirement bill and got his House of Assembly to approve what you see below as his yearly pension.

1. 300% annual salary as severance package as approved by RMAFAC.
2. 100% of annual basic salary of incumbent gov as salary for LIFE even after leaving office.
3. Six new cars every 3 years
4. A new house in Lagos, minimum 5 bedroom
5. A new house in Abuja or any other location, minimum 5 bedroom.
6. Free medical care for him and members of his family for life.
7. Entitled to cooks, stewards, Gardners, and domestic staffs, all pensionable.
8. 300% of his annual basic salary as governor every 2 years as furniture allowance
9. 100% of annual basic salary as governor as his house maintenance allowance
10. Two DSS officers, 1 female officer for his wife and eight policemen to guard him.
11. 25% of his annual basic salary for personal assistants.
12. 30% of his annual basic salary for car maintenance .
13. 20% of his annual basic salary as utilities maintenance.
14. Pensionable drivers, no limits to the number.

This is apart from what Bola TINUBU gets as a percentage of collections from Alpha Beta for tax collections for Lagos State and the total control he has over the governor and the treasury.

But see what Peter Obi collects from Anambra State since leaving office as governor:

1. No gratuity
2. No pensions
3. No houses
4. No cars
5. No allowances of any kind
6. No maintenances of any kind.
7. No personal assistants paid by the state.
8. No domestic staffs paid by the state.
9. No aids sponsored by the state.
10. Not even pure water.
11. No shishi from the State.
12. No landed property
13. No trace of any form of corruption on him till date
14. He's still using his personal money to pay school fees for some children of the poor till date.

Now the two men want to be president.

So choose today who means well for Nigeria and who will serve the people selflessly.

(You can go and verify)
It got me thinking, still thinking!🤔🤔
Make we take this msg to our aged parents around us make them understand why we all must be obedient

Patriotsleague:
All these are false allegations. Chatam house, UK diplomats and ambassadors don't meet with convicted drug Lords. Obidient people are quick to lie, cheat and malign, very fake and evil people.
