[size=15pt]‘ACN marginalising Lagos indigenes’[/size] On August 7, 2011 · In News Lagos State Indigene Political Emancipation Forum, an umbrella body for indigenes of Lagos, has called on the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) to correct what it termed as the political intimidation, oppression and suppression of Lagos indigenes. Mr Nawairudeen Idowu, the Forum’s spokesman, who addressed newsmen, said: “A situation whereby all the local government chairmen are non-indigenes, most of the councilors are non-indigenes is untenable”. He attributed the situation to the act of selection instead of allowing the people to decide who should represent them, “All the local government chairmen are tactically selected by instituting kangaroo primary elections”, he said. “Five Local Council Development Areas (LCDA) were created out of Alimosho Local Government and only Egbe Idimu has a semblance of an indigene running it. “The same problem is facing Lagos State House of Assembly and the House of Representatives while in Alimosho House of Reps, the position has been rotating between two non-indigenes since 1999”. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2011/08/%E2%80%98acn-marginalising-lagos-indigenes%E2%80%99/ |

ak47mann: There should be no shock about this. The aworis and eguns have been screaming marginalization by the Lagos state government for a while now. They have not even ruled in their own state yet.It's sad if you ask me. |
Re: ‘ACN marginalising Lagos indigenes’ by NegroNtns(m): 2:34am On Aug 07, 2011 |
A C N should meet and see what they can do to correct that. Alhaji is using the wrong word when he says non-indigene. Non-indigene of Lagos or non-indigene of Yorubaland. |
Re: ‘ACN marginalising Lagos indigenes’ by ak47mann(m): 2:48am On Aug 07, 2011 |
^^ aworis and egun people are from lagos and this is their land |
Re: ‘ACN marginalising Lagos indigenes’ by NegroNtns(m): 2:58am On Aug 07, 2011 |
Oh, really? I thought it was Iboland. Well tell them to go tell Alaafin they no longer want to be Yoruba. 1 Like |
Re: ‘ACN marginalising Lagos indigenes’ by NegroNtns(m): 3:08am On Aug 07, 2011 |
In fact in their case they will also need to see Omo N'Oba as well. |
Re: ‘ACN marginalising Lagos indigenes’ by Onlytruth(m): 3:32am On Aug 07, 2011 |
I think the Aworis should chase these thieving Yorubas back to their own part of SW. Enough of all these deceit. They should ally with Igbo to contest under APGA in the next elections. We will vote for them. |
Re: ‘ACN marginalising Lagos indigenes’ by koruji(m): 3:38am On Aug 07, 2011 |
Do you people really think this kind of thing up for yourself or somebody really opened up your cranium to put fecal matter in there? If Yorubas are thieving in their own land what name shall we call the Igbos in Lagos then - marauders sounds too lenient. Will have to come up with something stronger. Mumu people. Onlytruth: |
Re: ‘ACN marginalising Lagos indigenes’ by Chyz2: 3:45am On Aug 07, 2011 |
Negro_Ntns: Who is the Alafin? Is he God? Haba! Just allow them to at least feel a sense of belonging in their own land. |
Re: ‘ACN marginalising Lagos indigenes’ by ektbear: 4:28am On Aug 07, 2011 |
They should be appeased within reason. No real reason to have 'em alienated, if this group actually represents their feelings. |
Re: ‘ACN marginalising Lagos indigenes’ by ak47mann(m): 4:30am On Aug 07, 2011 |
Yoruba people should stop this habit of dominating Lagos as their land, the indigenous people like aworis should not let the large migration of yorubas dominate them, how can they allow Yoruba people dominate them in the first place? |
Re: ‘ACN marginalising Lagos indigenes’ by koruji(m): 4:36am On Aug 07, 2011 |
Aworis are Yoruba - only in deluded minds are Awori supposed to see themselves any different from Yoruba. Your illusions know no bounds. The Awori are a tribe of the Yoruba people speaking a distinct dialect of the Yoruba language. ak47mann: |
Re: ‘ACN marginalising Lagos indigenes’ by ektbear: 5:03am On Aug 07, 2011 |
koruji: This matter doesn't really concern heebows. I don't see why you are wasting your time joining issues with them. |
Re: ‘ACN marginalising Lagos indigenes’ by Chyz2: 5:07am On Aug 07, 2011 |
Lagos= Aworis,egun,ijebu lands. There is a big call for Ijebu state as we speak because of marginalization and the want to have a separate identity from yorubas. |

Re: ‘ACN marginalising Lagos indigenes’ by aljharem3: 5:47am On Aug 07, 2011 |
Chyz*: very correct, also egba settlements are there ekt_bear: correct as well, this is politics and every admisnatration, all non indigenous yorubas in lagos starting from ekiti, offa, kabba to egun are represented in lagos admi. Now Tinubu has changed the balance of things This struggle did not start today, It started 1999 In 1999, YCE decided to change things by Now allowing Indigenous Yorubas to rule lagos, thus Tinubu was elected thanks to the awori and egu agreeing to this. In the agreement, Only yorubas should be allowed and no outsider Tinubu broke this by putting and outer commissioner. This broke the camels back Around 2007, The onikoyis (awori ikoyi and VI indigenes) did not like this, in the struggle, the leader die, and the first son of the place was meant to take the place ( I mean that is yoruba tradition of rulship) Instead tinubu said the second son should be the ruler. when this was done, tinubu could raise the prices of lands in those areas. much to the disagreement of the indigenes Now fashola is an awori and other yorubas from all other state are represented in his cabinet but what is paining them is that when any awori like bode george etc tries to control the politics of there state, and osun man like tinubu is queik to call them corupt The real aworis don't mind this but Tinubu needs to appease there leaders or else he is breaking the code of conduct in their state. ak47mann: The indigenes awori allowed this, and they do not mind. Then awori is yoruba so what are you talking about tell an awori man that he is NOT yoruba and see the way he will slap you Onlytruth: then what should WE DO TO THE IGBOS when we chase our brothers away trust me it is not going to work, unless it works against YOU people. Btw Lagos carbinet is not only SW yorubas, also NC and SS yorubaiod Chyz*: yes the awori have NOT been screaming marginalization but the eguns have because awori people are selling there land but that has be resolved now |
Re: ‘ACN marginalising Lagos indigenes’ by amor4ce(m): 3:15am On Aug 08, 2011 |
But, didn't they sell their lands to outsiders for money, just like the mirror and whiskey story? |
Re: ‘ACN marginalising Lagos indigenes’ by ezeagu(m): 3:20am On Aug 08, 2011 |
These Awori people should go and ask Ikwerre people for guidance, those would be the Heebows of Port Harcourt. |
Re: ‘ACN marginalising Lagos indigenes’ by amor4ce(m): 3:25am On Aug 08, 2011 |
Which one come be Heebows? |
Re: ‘ACN marginalising Lagos indigenes’ by ezeagu(m): 3:29am On Aug 08, 2011 |
It's the new term for "Awesome group dominating |
Re: ‘ACN marginalising Lagos indigenes’ by ezeagu(m): 3:32am On Aug 08, 2011 |
Awori should not let themselves become the new Ogoni. Pushback the invading force! |
Re: ‘ACN marginalising Lagos indigenes’ by koruji(m): 3:35am On Aug 08, 2011 |
Hatchet men showing their ignorance. Aworis are Yorubas The Awori are a tribe of the Yoruba people speaking a distinct dialect of the Yoruba language. ezeagu: |
Re: ‘ACN marginalising Lagos indigenes’ by KnowAll(m): 11:22am On Aug 08, 2011 |
[size=18pt] Indigenious Lagosians need the greater Yoruba population for strenght otherwise the Igbo's would have them for mince-meat. The Igbo population in Lagos is more than Indigenious Lagosians. The earlier they know this the wiser they would be when it comes to their "unwarranted utterrances."[/size] |
Re: ‘ACN marginalising Lagos indigenes’ by ezeagu(m): 4:12pm On Aug 08, 2011 |
Um, I'm pretty sure the people marginalising them is Yoruba people. |
Re: ‘ACN marginalising Lagos indigenes’ by aljharem3: 4:48pm On Aug 08, 2011 |
KnowAll: guy stop talking dumb. we indigenes don't need any greater yoruba population we let other yorubas to do what they need to do in lagos because They are our brothers and as such we can not discrinmate against them also because we believe Lagos our state unites all yoruba clans. so all this population u are bring will not help u we do it because of the love for yoruba people |
Re: ‘ACN marginalising Lagos indigenes’ by aljharem3: 4:55pm On Aug 08, 2011 |
lastly to all yorubas on this forum DO NOT LET THIS PEOPLE FEED ON YOUR PARANOIA. In lagos Igbos are a minority this is the reality but on the internet, they come here and talk rubbish Or them ruling lagos, You yorubas should stop believing all you see on this internet Leave us to handle them, If lagos has an igbo governor today and there is no genocide on igbos in lagos, then it means WE see progress in him and forget tribalism lastly blame tinubu for this |
Re: ‘ACN marginalising Lagos indigenes’ by ezeagu(m): 6:31pm On Aug 08, 2011 |
"Genocide of Igbo people." You people are ridiculous. Awori, repeat after me "Let my people go!" |
Re: ‘ACN marginalising Lagos indigenes’ by ak47mann(m): 6:41pm On Aug 08, 2011 |
^^^^ for real dont no why aworis don't want to fight for their right to be a minority got a big disadvantage |
Re: ‘ACN marginalising Lagos indigenes’ by aljharem3: 7:11pm On Aug 08, 2011 |
ezeagu:i follow you laugh do you even know who you are talking to ak47mann: yoruba hater |
Re: ‘ACN marginalising Lagos indigenes’ by AndreUweh(m): 9:36pm On Aug 08, 2011 |
The problem here is that those who have come from the Hinterland Western Nigeria to Lagos do claim Lagos as their own state of origin. Now the main indigenes have to suffer for this. Unlike in Port Harcourt where Ndigbo from the hinterland still maintain that they come from Mbaise, Mbano, Etiti, Umuahia , Owerri, Afikpo etc. Anyway, let the best candidates be elected for every position in Lagos irrespective of him coming from Ijebu Egba, Mbaise, Nnewi, Etsako, Nupe etc. |
Re: ‘ACN marginalising Lagos indigenes’ by kofoshi: 9:45pm On Aug 08, 2011 |
What do you heebows want exactly? Is it Lagos you want? Well, go for it! but stop spreading propaganda among our people! I am glad that we are waking up to your wickedness now. We are spreading the word, we are letting Yorubas far and near know of your ill wishes for our land and we'll fish you out. We will! |
