What Makes You An Indegene? by AKONE(m): 12:09pm On Mar 03, 2023
I have taken time to go through the campaign against LP Governorship candidate in Lagos State: saying he is an Igbo man. I had to take time to check his family history and ancestry and found that he is originally from Lagos. Never has Lagos been governed by people who are originally from Lagos. They've all been from other southwestern States since 1999. The only "problem" with Gbadebo is that his mother is Igbo.

How does that make him less a Yoruba man or Lagosian? Even if he were Igbo, does been born in Lagos not confer on him the right to be a Lagos indigene? What makes a Yoruba man from other southwestern states better Lagosians than others? How is indigeneship of a state or citizenship of a nation determined? I'm confused about this hatred we have for one another.

I'm originally from Ondo State, born in the North, married from Delta, gave birth to my children in the North, relocated to Lagos because of the crisis in the North. Where do I tell my children they come from if they're not seen as northerners by northerners and not seen as yorubas by yorubas because their mother is from Delta?

We're so happy when we see Nigerians winning elections in UK, Canada, and the US, but it becomes a problem when an Igbo man wins election in Lagos. How then do you discourage agitations for Biafra Nation and Yoruba Nation?

Is Nigeria really a country?

Chapter 3 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria is clear on the topic. Get a copy or download the CFRN from Playstore.

You would have made sense if you non igbos can have the audacity to even contest for local government chairman or councillor in any south east state.
People like you are a serious problem.
The same western world u talk about still take some special positions for seriously and will never hand them over to foreigners or people of color.
Be there forming awoke, when actually u dont have sense. The people and country you are sharing with forming awoke have another agenda and want to take away your land.
That is how your ancestors were on the verge of giving kwara away to Fulani yet u never wise.
You now want to give the 4th largest economy in Africa, the richest and most strategic state in south west to foreigners in the name of awoke...
Hello sir, at your age you should have some wisdom but I can tell you are very senseless.
You can carry him to become your village chief in Ondo but he will.never rule Lagos

Constitution is one thing, reality is another. According to Constitution, I should be an indegene of where I was born, but the reality is different, especially if your name does not reflect that of the local people. Why do I even need to prove my indigeneship when I can prove my citizenship?

I wish I could educate you, but the eyes of your mind are already blind. I can't descend with you. Thank you.

Na cow you be, agbalagba without sense, I’m sure your children have no identity like this Chinedu that could insult his fathers people calling them afonjaaaa

That’s why we have rejected him, a man that has no regard for Yoruba can not become a governor of Lagos state

I’m far more educated than you are, your old age is not equivalent to wisdom. You don’t have any atom of wisdom upstairs and yet you have children. Don’t fail your children sir! We are losing our values because of people like you. I’ve lived in United States, Canada. Other races guide their cultural heritage and you will see Indian Americans that grew up outside of india understand their culture and hold it with highest esteem.
Jews are Jews all over the world and they all hold their Jews day with highest esteem

But you see blacks, they don’t even know where they come from, lost identity becuse of failed fathers like you
So you think we are all senseless like you. If a so called yoruab don will insult his people and denounce them, we should now forget that and vote him based on what? Na him dey feed us? Na only him dey contest? Is he our life giver ? What has he done to warrant our vote other than insults?

your families root should determine if you are an indigene.

Not Nigerian Constitution. This is public space. Wrong information is not good. Please Study Chapter 3 of Nigerian Constitution and get your facts right.
