We are saying thesame thing. No be person go clear the farm, plant crops, water the crops, weed the farm , before expecting harvest..??

No place on earth can develop itself no matter the amount of resources it has.

I don't know what you mean by resources...
If you mean human beings, then, mind you, the yorubas weren't the only ones occupying Lagos then.

If you mean companies,local industries,. and trade, no be human beings bring those things...

And there aren't any known record showing that only the original settlers in Lagos brought those developments.

Let's be truthful when discussing public issues.

YorubaRonuuu:
No one is actually asking the igbo's to vacate Lagos, it's just that some of them are ingrat.es, their businesses can't even flourish in their hometowns not until they move to the West but still they're ungrateful stylishly saying Lagos isn't for yoruba's

Skyview01:


No insult intended. I believe war may be inevitable at some point in the future the way things are going. There is a limit to human endurance.

Mftivi:
we should be grateful to you for what ? Abi you hit head for wall when you small ?

Denoh68:
THEN STAY AWAY FROM TRIBALISM. DON'T YOU LOVE PEACE??

kayjay69:
It will be hard because these lawmakers do not represent the interest of the people, they represent only their own selfish interests.

Wrong.

You are first of all your ethnicity before you're Nigerian.

Nigeria is a bri:tish map which groups indigenous African nations/tribes into the location known as Nigeria so someone from a different tribe can never ever have equal stake in another part of Nigeria because that is not the person's ethnic territory.

If you say you're Nigerian then it means you were created by the br:itish and started existing in 1914.

There is no ethnicity called Nigerian.

Well it’s only the people that have never experienced war would be calling for war.

War has never solved any problem, instead it worsen the problem

Denoh68:
MOST OF YOU YORUBAS ARW VERY SICK IN THE BRAIN,YOUR TRIBALISTIC BEHAVIOR IS DRAGGING NIGERIA BACKWARDS,ARE YOU PEOPLE NOT THE ONES THAT FORCED BUHARI ON NIGERIA,YOUR HYPOCRISY IS SECOND TO NONE.

Yorubas and Igbos fought each other during the civil war..

the civil war was Yoruba vs Igbo war.


in the 1960s , nzeogwu exhibited such hatred towards Yorubas.


"According to a Nigerian Police Special Branch Report, nzeogwu executed at least 4 army and police security personnel including one of the men on his team (Sergeant Daramola Oyegoke). nzeogwu also participated in the execution of Col. Raph Shodeinde, his superior officer at the Nigerian Military Training College and is reported to have shot indiscriminately at fleeing women and children.."..

the statement above shows pure hatred for Yorubas and a lot of igbos all have this similar behavior towards Yorubas.

The Igbos also tried to attack the SW but we're stopped at Ore.

Before the civil war, Nnamdi Azikwe was also fighting the Yorubas politically because he wanted to be premier of the Yoruba region.

OceanRed:


YES YOU ARE RIGHT, but the onus fell on the people to make them do their responsibility. wasted efforts on unnecessary agitation all over the country should be directed at them. that is how it is done in other countries, the citizens always direct their anger on the law makers or parliament members as the case may be

Spandau:


Ah, my broda! Walahi Talabi, I no know say na you o. I no look moniker. I was busy firing those dingbat obidients who are claiming that Lagos is a no man's land then suddenly are recognizing g that there are indigenous Lagosians since they have been able to smuggle Chinedu the mongrel hybrid. My bad!

Stanweezy:


Who told u they are Igbos, did u speak to them and they responded u with Igbo for u to come up with such conclusion or did u just look at the face of the person that made such callous statement and conclude he's Igbo

kayjay69:
I would not call agitation wasted efforts.
If people don't agitate the status quo will remain and the status quo is eating each and every one of us on a daily basis.

I encourage agitation. It is agitation that gave birth to this new obidient movement. It is agitation that will get us closer to having the conversations we ought to be having. I remember when there were no agitations, absolutely nothing was happening.

So please, I encourage agitations with meaningful outcomes. And we are not other countries, other countries that you mentioned have one or two things working in their favour, we don't have anything working for us, not one single thing except corruption is working in Nigeria. So comparing us to others is Apples to Oranges.

Boldkrammy:


In that case you are a compound fool. (Efulufu) one who does not care when you are carried away from your father's compound. If an Igbo blood runs in you, you would feel the pain of other tribes always lashing out on igbos not minding their contributions and cordiality over the years. How many of other tribes care to invest in the Igbo region. How much have they contributed in the development of the Igbo nation. Igbos have invested in Lagos from the begining and can not I repeat cannot be treated as nobody in Lagos.

Lagos is no man's land and every single person in Lagos is a visitor. I am not afraid to engage vagabonds of your type, I respect yorubas in everyway but you see this Lagos and Igbo issue, I stand with Lagos is no man's land and everyone is a visitor including the governors and the Obas not excluding Tinubu!

Tee2027:


Oh my God see painment!!!

OceanRed:

well you are right, hopefully we will get there one day. new nations need to emerge from this current contraption we are calling country. we cant make any meaningful progress with this current set up

It may, I agree. It may also serve to break the country. We may be too fragmented to be in one country. Some people are threatening to deport other people and are you ok with that line of reasoning?

codemaniacs:


There's a port in Rivers state called "port Harcourt".
There are also:
Calabar port
Onne port
Warri port..

SE and SS have 4 ports

Non of is working, intentionally closed by FG. GEJ open them when he was president but were officially closed by Buhari. A Yuroba president will never allow them to see the light of the day neither will a northerner. Rail way and sea port in South East and South South were the major reason why Obi presidential candidacy gain more support.

while the SW only has 2 ports.

GorillaApp:

You amuse me

You went to dig up war mermories. For your information, the Igbos fought against Nigeria, not yorubas. The Nigerian army comprises of several tribes in Nigeria - the middle belt, the Hausa, the fulanis, yorubas and southern elements. Go and read your history book.

The Igbos, against all odds, march towards Lagos ,( were stopped at Ore) not because it was a Yoruba land and they wanted it, but because it was the capital of Nigeria.
If that war was fought today, they would be marching towards Abuja.
In military campaign, opposing camps march against capital cities because it is the seat of power and once it falls, the war is won.
The fulanis that are systematically taking your lands, killing, raping and maiming are your friends while the Igbos are your enemies.
While you choke on your hatred for Igbos, your land is under threat and Ilorin is already in their pockets.
Pls leave the Igbos out of these your narrative. We don't want your Lagos. We only wanna do business, make money and retire to the east. period. Face your real threat.
I won't respond to any of these half baked sheet you guys are brandishing here
Bye

codemaniacs:



Other tribes are not bringing anything to Lagos that is not already available in Lagos or other Yoruba states.

Lagos or the SW can never be affected or be a shadow of itself if other tribes leave Lagos.

the SW will trade with Benin Republic, Togo, Ghana and Siera Leone..

Princewell2012:

This is what you were told, but it is not the fact. However a lot of kids on nairaland don't know anything about the civil war.
We are trying to be diplomatic this time.

Thermodynamics:


It means Igbos are right for trying to call for a referendum, why is it that the Yorubas have not joined the Igbos in their struggle to divide the Country and correct the mistake made by the British? Instead, you guys clammor for one Nigeria, yet you still say Igbos are foreigners in Lagos, how does that make sense?

Stay one side, if you say Igbos are foreigners in Lagos then try to fight for a referendum too so that oduduwa and Biafra republic can become a country and everyone will go to where they belong.
Otherwise, you have no right to call an Igbo man a foreigner in his own country Lagos

Igbos never ever called for a referendum.

Igbos killed the political leaders of Hausa and Yoruba and thought that they won't retaliate..

Igbos already corrected the mistake the B:ritish made by abolishing regionalism and changing it to a unitary government.

With regionalism, the B:ritish and other foreign investors would have had to talk to the regional premier of the region they wanted to invest in and other local leaders and not the president of the country,which means less room for corruption.

But with unitary, they would only need to talk to the president and can sway the president which creates more room for corruption.

You are not as unintelligent as I wanted to suggest, which is why I have come to hate some of you people passionately, I beleive you are an educated fellow, yet you will stoop low to play dumb and act the fool, by making unsound and quite frankly inferior and disgraceful arguments.

My precious time cannot be wasted on fools, I only insult fools and move on, because I beleive you know better you just chose stupidity because of your racist and tribalistic ideals.

Just read your write up. Igbos have been voting with one pattern since time immemorial, regardless of the political backlash, they have supported your ancestors in the past [as I am sure you know], they have literally supported everyone else. Yet no one will ever give them any opportunity, nor support them. Name one time your people have ever supported igbos, just one. But I know of course you know all this..yet you draw out an unsound logic of some party ppl voting Tinubu and whatever rubbish else you said, a very simplistic and unreasonable argument.

You know ya'll got nothing on igbos, just carry your racist sef waka and no dey quote me again abeg. You are very dumb.
