There is absolutely nothing out of place in one seeking to hold any political office of one's choice in one's country.

I wonder why all the ado.

MayorofLagos:

l
All races of people converge in Kano, why has Kano not been labeled a no man's land, is there something up in Kano that Ibo is afraid of?

ProfCorruption:


And who is preventing "one" from holding political office?

Remarkable:
Sorry, Sir; but Lagos is not SW... Google is your friend. Lagos was a separate colony ruled by the British...

I know you don't like to hear it, but when we say Lagos is no man's land, all it means is that there are many tribes that meet in this place... do you agree? if yes, then you agree that Lag. is no man's land, if no, then you need to visit Lagos...das all

eaglechild:

Then why all the agitation about Igbos wanting this and that in Lagos?

Are we no longer one country.

Lagos is a cosmopolitan multi ethnic city that should have everyone duly represented.

Aigbofa:


Maybe it is time to start voting only ultra conservative Yoruba candidates in Yorubaland. Akintola was right about ibos.

CaptainOjemba:
is that all you could say? Smh for u

Ikengawo:

Benin doesn't have yoruba roots.
a yoruba monarch went to Bini to rule the bini people and became the Oba of Bini but that doesn't mean the people there are Yoruba and they don't claim to be either. The Igbo Jaja of Opobo ruled the Ijaw island of Opobo, but that doesn't make the Ijaws on that Island 'originate' from Igbos.

NO...LAGOS IS ONE OF THE STATES IN THE YORUBA TRIBE...SIMPLE.

First step chase them all out of Lagos island.

Second step remove them all from market.

... and where is Akintola today? didn't he end up six feet below, in his prime?
you wish your leaders the way of Akintola, eh?
by the way, do you knw what the people (Yorubas) did when they heard Akintola had een killed?
They rejoiced!
Imagine if Fashola died today, will Lagosians rejoice?
Exactly, that's because he associated well with Igbos, apologized when they felt he wronged them, gave them positions in his administration etc...
your wishing your leaders were like Akintola.... lol I don't think you wishing them well, how about you yourself getting to government lets see how you will hate and chase Igbos out of Lagos (and see if you wont be the one to leave before them! lol silly boy with delusions of grandeur)

MayorofLagos:


In traditional Yoruba customs the kingmakers select an Oba based on the sociopolitical temperament prevailing.

Ive been saying this repeatedly, culturally, Fashola is not a defender of the land. Neither was Oba Oyekan.

Igbos migration into Lagos surged during Oyekan's rule. He did to Lagos what his grandfather, Dosumu, did by allowing foreigners to invade his city uncensored.

In Hausaland no Iboman lives anywhere in the interior of their walled cities, definitely none has a shop abutting the Emir's palace. Ibos came to Lagos and practically took over Idoluwo and Idumota....some eben have shops across the strert from Oba's palace.

I hope and pray next governor will reverse some of Fashola's soft and over zealously liberal policies concerning indigeneship and foreigners.

You are right, we need ultra conservatives. No more Ibo in our state cabinets. The ones there need to be replaced with Yorubas when a new cabinet is selected.

Of course, we are in one country and you have the right to aspire to any position. Is there a city in Nigeria that is not multi-ethnic?

Who exactly is preventing you from holding any post?

Calculia:
APC and Igbokwe are not getting out of this one that easy. The request of Ndiigbo are lawful and a fundamental aspect of human rights.

In the Nigeria constitution, it falls under "freedom to association,Freedom of Belief and Religion, Freedom of Opinion and Information, Right of Peaceful Assembly and Association and Right to Participate in Government and in Free Elections.

Igbos have not been given their fair share in the day to day running of their Lagos State. Lagos is a City State created for all Nigerians and sustained by all Nigerians. Y is the government dominanted by a single ethnic group and not reflective of the multi-ethnic character of the state?


This is the problem that was raised by the NCSN and must be address in the next dispensation of Government in Lagos. Lagos is a state and not a region, it is multi-ethnic and not homogeneous or solely yoruba and this multi-ethnic character must be reflected in the governance of the city state, for the sake of equity and all inclusive government.

eaglechild:

I am happy we are on the same page.

That is exactly what we are talking about integration.

Anyone should be able to hold any post anywhere, and where better to start than the center of excellence Lagos the most multi ethnic state that should be a leader in the process.

An Hausa man should be able to be governor and an Igbo man should be able to be commissioner of works. No ethnic group should dominate that is the beauty of integration.

God has blessed EVERY TRIBE and bountifully too...BUT HE GIVES MORE GRACE TO THE HUMBLE.See...if you come up with a request with an attitude of UNGRATEFULNESS and ENTITLEMENT especially in a foreign state or ethnic-group,You will always meet with opposition.First be HUMBLE and GRATEFUL about the opportunities you have been allowed in that place first and MORE will be granted you.

I don't get your angry emoticon.

We are simply talking about integration and national unity, what has that got to do with arrogance and ungratefulness.

What do you mean by a foreign state, I don't remember any Nigerian needing a Visa to visit Lagos, Sokoto or PH.

Lagos or otherwise, there is no city in Nigeria where Nigerians should not be able to aspire to any office. Why do you think no ethnic group should dominate in Lagos?
