what an incredible idea, @ least every 1 would share sum of his billions.

Dangote is too big to be a governor.

I guess Mayor Bloomberg of NYC is too big to be a Mayor despite been a billionaire. You have to understand Mayor Bloomberg would rather be d Mayor of NYC than be d Governor of NY State. People run for office to protect their own intrest moreso a Billionaire who has made his money in that particular City.

Stop using examples from a nation of immigrants. they are all newcomers and no one has more claim than the next over there. We Yorubas have been living here (the awori have been there for centuries) for centuries and should be respected.

The onus is on the stranger to be civil at least and not try to collect the morsel from the homeowners mouth.

Lagos is not different from Accra. Accra once used to be Ga Tribe territory today, the ashantes from central region in Ghana have over-run the city and are now controlling every facet of that city except of course the Traditional Kingship. Democracy is a numbers game, if the Yoruba population keeps on dwindling that opens avenue for all other tribes to run for office. All I would say is " Never say Never".

compared to the Ashantes, the Ga are a tiny tribe. Compared to Hausa/Igbo we are not. So your assertion is wrong AGAIN.

The problem with people like you is you live in denial, you live in a cuckoo land and therefore cocooned from the reality of the day, you still think Lagos of 2011 is the same as Lagos of 1954 where Yoruba’s constituted like 97% of the population. Mr Man wake up from your slumber and smell the coffee, today the Igbo’s alone can boast of a population between 36% to 40% of the total population of the city not taken into account all other ethnic groups.

If we are to combine all other groups together as one group inclusive of the Igbo’s, I am afraid to burst your bubble Yoruba’s would be in the minority.

Don’t forget as the adjoining Yoruba states prosper many people are leaving Lagos in droves to their respective SW states since acquiring land, properties and other holdings is much more cheaper than getting them in Lagos, so is the quality of life many aspire to live especially the older folks.

Besides anything you have to say is moot. You are not resident in nigeria and do not know enough about it to make comments. You are definitely NOT YORUBA and you probably only read about dangote on the web once you grew old enough to surf without supervision.

This is the cold hard reality of life in nigeria. There are ANCESTRAL LANDS. There are INDIGENES. Indigenes have RIGHTS as distinct from SETTLERS.

You are the one who lives in cuckoo land. Nowhere in the world do people willing give up legacies bequeathed by their ancestors without being compelled forcefully. Not Saudi Arabia, Not Japan, Not China. If such people are so concerned with serving their country, then they should go where they are needed most. Not Lagos but KANO. He can do more service there.

He is permitted under the law but he is NOT ENTITLED to it simply because he employs people there. Otherwise Yoruba CEOs of oil servicing firms would have a right to contest for governorship in Rivers and cross-rivers.

Face the reality, we are a conglomeration of nations, and as far as the yoruba NATION is concerned, Dangote IS NOT A CITIZEN.

One other thing: I am ok with being ineligible for governorship in Lagos because they are also ineligible for Governorship in my state. Obviously people serve as commissioners across state boundaries (current Osun governor Aregbesola was a commissioner in Tinubu's cabinet). That doesnt mean a Non-Yoruba can simply walk into office there.

Respect your landlords.

You don't have the slightest clue what democracy is all about, All this your yearn IS nothing more than utter sentimentalism combined with shameless sensationalism. The fact of the matter and the bone of contention is, if your people have not got the numbers they don’t get the votes. Shikena!!!

Its your numbers we are disputing, maga.

Besides, even if they win that election, it WILL BE OVERTURNED. its that simple

People like Kodewriter have the mentality of people that died before 1960. This is 2011 dude. The world is a global village and democratically the minority will have a say and the majority will everly  have their way. I still think the Yorubas are a majority in Lagos, closely followed by Igbos. If in the future the Igbo population surpasses that of Yorubas in lagos then common sense will tell you that they'll have their w

Agbero, is that how your Godfather "Tinubu" overturns result, anyways with the sacking of salami all that loopholes have being blocked.

Thank you oh jare, of course I believe presently yoruba's still have the majority, but in years too come it could be anybody's game and the majority would definately carry the day, and secondly we must move away from this parachoial idea that only a Yoruba man can ever be a Lagosian.
