Deep down inside their DNA, Yoruba is what they'd love to be hence all the attention and fascination.

Why Lagos? Why not Anambra? Why do you so badly wish you were Yoruba? Is being Igbo making you feel inferior?

Any nigerian born and bred in Anambra is an Anambran as well
There are hausa and igbo people who's ancestors have been in lagos longer than some yoruba there.
Almost nobody in lagos is an indigine, unless you believe the colonials ran into a huddle of 20 million precolonial africans when they go there.
Re: Lagos 2015: Non-Yoruba Will Be Governor. by Rhino5dm: 8:48am On Jan 05, 2013
What are you talking about? Thesame Anambra that non natives can't even acquire properties? keep on lying on the pages of nairaland.

Like someone said earlier, we are very accommodating but not when it comes to ruling and politics. Great Zik can testify to this when he confused the gentility of a tiger with simplicity. Nnwoke, hapu ma ka!

As long as the land belongs to Oduduwa, then forget it!.Armageddon is the beginning of the end.

Don't be silly, even at independence our population was barely 55million and there are indigenous Lagosians. How old do you think the Oba of Lagos monarchy is? And who were his subjects when the Portuguese first came into Lagos ? Population increases with time through births or migration. My point is Lagos is as much of Yorubaland as Onitsha is Igboland. There are Yorubas in Onitsha and how come they aren't saying this. How come the Hausas that are clearly larger in population than the Igbos in Lagos aren't saying this?
Re: Lagos 2015: Non-Yoruba Will Be Governor. by Ngwakwe: 8:54am On Jan 05, 2013
I am a proud Aba man, where anybody that live there is a stakeholder including Hausas that occupy Mosque street, Yorubas are found everywhere and almost in every company where they contribute positively including in our Churches.


Anybody can contest for any office (political or otherwise) provided he/she builds a good and convincing political base.

We sell our land to whoever has the money to develop it and consequently absolve such a person into our community in all area of life.

Furthermore, check Aba Reps in national Assembly, Counselors and LGA Chairmen and see that majority are not Ngwa people.

When I say Non-yoruba rulin Lagos in 2015, i'm not refering to Igbos because they are not the only ones making up the greater percentage of Lagos population. And since we are in a democracy, i strongly believe that a man from Eastern or Northern origin will be the governor of Lagos in a free and fair election if all non-yorubas support his candidacy. Governance is about the welfare of the citizens of a country residing in a particular place and i believe in Hausa man or Igbo or Ijaw Governor of Lagos will do just fine for indigenes and non-indigenes considering that non-yorubas constitutes for about not less than 70% of Lagos population. This can as well be applicable in any state of the federation.

Na you get your mouth.2015 is around the corner so ibos should start preparing the ground to take over from fashola since they are the majority in Lagos.Zik tried and failed so will anybody that tries it.

SUBMARINE: @Non-Yorubas Lagos residence should realize that historically, yorubas are socially but not politically tolerant. So please do your business, make your money and go back to your villages to contest with your money.

The day the Igbos are politically tolerant to allow a yoruba or hausa man to be governor of Anambra or Imo state, that day the Yorubas will consider allowing Igbos or Hausa to rule Lagos.

Interesting, everybody wants to rule Lagos... Why not go and contest in your state and begin charity from there if the essence is to serve the people and not to steal their resources?

we talking of Lagos territory bounded by Ogun and the Atlantic not the whole western nigeria then. Yorubas and nigerians can as well feel free to contest for the leadership of other states be it Northern or Eastern states. I believe LP, APGA, CPC in Lagos states are all working on this.
Re: Lagos 2015: Non-Yoruba Will Be Governor. by Nobody: 11:04am On Jan 05, 2013
. ALL THESE BIGOTS CRYING HERE DONT EVEN PAY TAX OR HAVE AN INVESTMENT IN LAGOS.. BORN IN LAG, HAVE PROPERTIES IN LAG, PAY TAX IN LAG? IF YES YOU ARE QUALIFY TO RULE LAGOS. WHETHER FROM OYO,KWARA,RIVERS,DELTA OR ANAMBRA,KANO.

The attention of ibos is fixated on lagos alone,why not Ekiti ? Btw,I don't buy the idea of having a yoruba as a governor of non-yoruba states cuz the yoruba man doesn't and won't understand the needs of the indigenious people.this contributed to the failure of the military in Nigeria.

Imagine a muslim from kano ruling a christain dominated state like imo or Enugu and you expect him to understand the immediate problems of the ibos ? Its totally insane

non-yoruba will understand the immediate needs of lagosians of which not less than 70% non-yoruba constitutes the population.

Why is it annoying to use Lagos? Is Lagos not a microcosm of Nigeria, judging from its cosmopolitan nature?

The earlier folks like you begin to accept that beyond, Yoruba, other non-indigenes are also stake holders in Lagos, the better for all of us.

@topic,
It is politics, who has the support base should go for it. In a free and fair election, Tinubu imposition of candidate will come crashing like a house of card. Let the game begin!
