Intellectual capacity and soundness of character are the biggest exports of we Yorubas to the world. We don’t boast of building other lands while neglecting our own. 17 Likes 2 Shares |

xpressionx: US don't just make anyone their leader.. GRV and igbos generally do not see things from our perceptive, voting somehow like that will only bring confusion and war. Why don't you start from anambra, pick up one fulani or yoruba and make him your governor.. Others will learn something from it, Lagos or any SW states can not be uaed for sily experiment 14 Likes 1 Share |

So you are saying that it is right to disenfranchise voters under whatever guise?

xpressionx: That is why i say we think differently, you are only taking about the effect while you fail to address the cause .. You can't threaten someone in their land and expect them to do nothing especially when they know they are stronger and and better than you.. Many of you will not be alive today if you try that nonsense in the north and heaven will not fall it. You are lucky you are just beaten because what you do warrant death, you are planning a coup to displace indegenes of an area, same mistake your people also made in the past.. You can just go anywhere in the world and call it no man's land, its crass and savage thinking , anyone who has a land worthwhile will never say something like that but you people dont understand now. 7 Likes |

xpressionx: We can only have this discussion when you start appointing Yorubas and Hausas as commissioners and political office holders in the south east. We’ve given lots of Igbos both political and civil service appointments in Lagos and that’s where it would stop. You see that Lagos governor and deputy governor wey dey enter una eyes, na only eyes una go take see am, una lips no go ever touch am. 6 Likes |

seunmsg: Sorry it was a fulani man Google MALLAM UMARU ALTINE. So igbos were actually the first that allows others to have political position in their land. The issue is you cannot come and invest or have a business stake and you want to run for office. An igbo man will come,start a business, grow it,build a house and probably marry from there,by so doing he's a stake holder.So he is qualified to speak. But someone just appears from no where,he has not invested in the land,and he wants to become a governor 1 Like 1 Share |

waynetee: Bro let's assume igbos are hostile in their land. How many yoruba people have houses and businesses in calabar, Uyo and Delta? But I can bet you their are plenty recognised igbo major businesses in those areas. It is envy that yorubas have against the igbos full stop. |

waynetee: There are more igbo businesses and houses in Portharcourt,abuja ,kano and sokoto you mentioned. They create more jobs and employment than yorubas,thereby adding more to their host economy. Therefore it's is right to say igbos are more progressives than Yorubas |
Re: Yemi Mobolade Elected Mayor Of Colorado Springs by gabbytabby: 8:21am On May 17, 2023 |
They are greedy and do not learn and if they do what they tried in Lagos in any other state they will get even worst. They tried it in the north and got the pogrom. They need to learn to live in peace and stop disrespecting their host. Nobody else does that. The Asians in particular in the UK have gone far but do you see them chest beating and disrespecting their host. It’s all about live and let live and everyone taking care of their business. Whatever you have is your business nobody cares. xpressionx: 3 Likes |

You claim igbos are more than yoruba in Lagos which has the majority of population in yoruba land. Don't you know for this to be correct, igbos must have atleast ×2 of yoruba population.
