Attacking the Lagos State House of Assembly for wanting to enact laws to protect indigenous Lagosians and labelling it "ethnic dog whistling" is grandstanding. Should indigenous Lagosians sleep on their rights when people they welcome into their communities provocatively and ungratefully call their land 'No Man's Land', and falsely alleged that they built Lagos with their sweat? Never!

Many states passed laws rejecting Buhari's Ruga settlements for Fulani herders, and we celebrated. Now that Lagos wants to pass laws to protect itself from people who wish to Ruga Lagos, you are complaining. How is that different? What is sauce for Greece is good for Uganda!

Every nation on Earth is entitled to have laws to protect indigenous peoples. Even America, which many like to cite as a bastion of democracy, has laws protecting Native Americans and recognising their status as original indigenes. Canada has such regulations as do Scandinavian and Nordic nations.

If those laws are made, and any group of people do not like them, they have two options. Challenge them in court, or leave Lagos and go to a place you feel is better for you than Lagos. Lagosians are very welcoming people. But it is outrageous to expect them to give up their rights as indigenous peoples because they want new residents to feel at home.

Even in Europe and America. The government regularize how Arab, Russians and Chinese can own property there.

Igbo claimed they are the ones that are developing us and we said that don't develop us again. all of a sudden they are crying.

They should go back to their war torn region that is full of pain and agony; we are tired of their criminal lifestyle here.

Fact..Reno has been objective nowadays.
..Why only Lagos? Kano did the same by banning alcohol to protect their indigenous beliefs...Nobody kicked against it.
If you are not pleased with Lagos, you are free to relocate and nobody will miss you.
Lagos House of Assembly has the right to protect the indigenes of Lagos.

Godfullsam:



He is saying the truth.

Laws to protect indegenous Lagosians have come to stay.

Anyone not comfortable with the development should go back to his/her state.

Simple!

Jogs1900:

This is fact...Ive lived in the East before and I know them very well.They don't like to be opposed when in their state.

But it is only in Nigeria that people will be shouting 'one Nigeria' from morning till night but will be angry when you call Lagos no mans land. One Nigeria means that we all own the land


The hypocrisy in Nigeria is higher than Mount Everest

gidgiddy:
If every ethnic group were to enact laws to protect themselves and their lands from outsiders, then where is this "one Nigeria" people keep talking about?

Does one Nigeria stop at the entrance to my village and begin at the exit?

Reno Omokiri is talking about indigenous rights in America and Canada, has he ever heard of anyone saying 'one America' or 'one Canada'? They dont say that because no such thing exists, their unity is based give and take

But it is only in Nigeria that people will be shouting 'one Nigeria' from morning till night but will be angry when you call Lagos no mans land. One Nigeria means that we all own the land

But you shout 'one Nigeria' and tell me the land belongs to you? If you own your land and I own my land, then let us agree that 'one Nigeria' is a fraud


The hypocrisy in Nigeria is higher than Mount Everest

jmoore:
I support the law protecting indigenous people.

Tinubu is not an indigene of Lagos state, same as FFK and Bayo Onagugaraga.

An indigene of Ogun state residing in Lagos is like an indigene of Sokoto or Abia residing in Lagos. If the indigenes of Lagos were protected, Tinubu would not have migrated from Iragbiji to displace and lord over the indigenes of Lagos.
