aswani:You should give me your own example the bad things Igbos are doing in lagos. The only time someone has used that word was with respect to how things can be happening to you in lagos and no one bats an eyelid. No not really that lagos doesn't belong to Lagosian or there are no indegeneous lagosian. There's never a prominent person or leader of any other tribe that has ever come out to say lagos is no man's land. It's quite unfortunate that you will say Igbos said this and that while it's just the opinion of whoever that is saying it , and doesn't represent the opinion of Igbos. |

Librason:I'm glad you can recall that the statement was attributed to lateef jakande . That's one point to note, You also made mention that we practice federalism which classifies everyone to a particular state of origin before residence right? You also said lagos state indegenes should be given some quota in the civil service and I can boldly say that statement is wrong and doesn't portray the lagos indegenes as being in charge of their polictical space. It's should be the lagos indegenes giving some quota to those within the catchment area maybe every SW state which is right. But here you carefully stated that some quota should be given to Lagos State indegenes, and I ask who is the person and where is the person from that is supposed to give them some quota in their own state? The lagos polictical space which makes the law is filled with other Sw state indegenes in the government house is not occupied by indegineous lagosian. Check the senators , house of reps and even state house of assembly they're not filled with indegeneous lagosians. Now who are those occupying those positions? Those are the people marginaling the indegineous lagosians. Not people that came to Lagos with their business plans rented shops or bought lands and established their business without government grant. You also made reference to what I said in the other post. That the government shouldn't dwell on Petty things and ignore the important thing . I really feel it's important if the look in to the welfare of the people from makoko slum which are historically part of the settlement of indegineous lagosians and other parts too. Give them grants to start their own business, pay them bursary and subsidize education for them and make sure their people take the number one sit in the state , and represent their people at their different senatorial zones. |

ginggerxy: I have never said Igbo's are doing bad things in Lagos, please focus on what I said rather than what you think I said or want me to say. I have said Obidients on Nairaland misuse those words "No man's land" and explained why they knowingly do it. I know all Igbos are not Obidients and I am sure all my posts without exception reflect that so please don't suggest I said anything about Igbo's as a whole. It is in the Obidient playbook to lash out at everyone, we are expecting a Tsunami of insults when the Judges at the Tribunal have their say whether or not it favours their man. Of course enough Tinubu people are here to give them back wotowoto. Try not to conflate issues, people here are facing Obidients squarely, not Ibo's. |

nnamdi640: You are crying foul when none exist. There is no law that has been enacted but you are already enumerating on the side effects and target of the fixated law. However, LASG can and should protect her indigenes for instance, the descendants of Mosan ,Okunola and Ipaja whose ancestral lands were acquired to build Gowon Estate , Shagari Estate and Jakande Estate can be identified and their children placed on Scholarships. The LSPDC in partnership with PPP can redevelop some of these places and give them some blocks after usage for 30years. 2 Likes |

oyatz:I won't be surprise if this places you are talking about are dominated by Yorubas because as of the time those estates were set up the non indigene then we're not so much interested except for non indigene that came from that same south west. |
Re: No-Man’s Land: Lagos To Make Laws To Protect Indigenes by oyatz(m): 12:54pm On Jun 12, 2023 |
nnamdi640: Oga rest. Whether they are dominated by Yoruba, Togolese or Ebira, does it negate the fact that the indigenes of these towns/villages should not be denied the right to laying claims to their ancestral lands like all other Nigerians? Does it stop their children from getting LASG scholarships and employment? Does it stop LASG from sponsoring their descendants abroad to acquire modern skills in AI, ICT, Aviation ,STEM and other areas to be better equipped to compete in the ever changing World? Canada, USA and Australia have special 'packages' for the indigenous peoples, what is bad if LASG took into the plights of the indigenes of the State? 1 Like |

oyatz:That is your problem, you are acting as if it is only Lagos such things are happening, what about Bayelsa where the major revenue of the country is coming from, how many things did fg did for them after collecting their land for crude oil drilling. Don't used stupid excuse to forcefully collect land sold out by thesame people your are defending. The other day I went to Epe, for something which I won't disclose, in my present one of the Baale of Epe came to settle a dispute based on him selling large size of a particular land to a person and part of the land he sold entered into another person land so they have to call him to settle it |

ginggerxy: Jakande or no Jakande, the statement is not as bad as those who have misunderstood it and acting badly, that's apart. And it's erroneous of you to term someone's statement as wrong when you don't understand the breakdown and nitty-gritty of the point. When you say it's wrong for Lagos indegenes to be given quota by those who you say have dominated them and it is Lagos indegenes that should be given quota to outsiders, this position is fair but if you want to be realistic, you know you can't just purge out those who you say are dominating the indegenes in Lagos State at once , just like that. You say those dominating indegenes are in State House of Assembly, government house bla, bla, bla ..... are you saying there are no true Lagos indigenes in these and other positions too? Let's assume there are very few or no Lagos indigenes in so many positions, this bill or this proposal will bring about change even if it's a gradual one. It's like moulting in snake where you will have to shed the old skin and the new ones will emerge. With this policy , Lagos will truly begin to be for Lagos and no more anyhowism in getting political and other offices. And during the course of this evolution, you and your people who came from the south - east to come sell markets (goods), should always calm down, talk less and generate less controversy because it's a political evolution for indigenes of Lagos and not necessarily against outsiders , let's wait first. |

nnamdi640: 1) LASG policy doesn't involve the FG, they aren't asking for more allocations. 2) Bayelsa State is free to implement whatever laws and policies they deem fit to protect their people. The FG already made lots of concession to them e.g 13% Derivatives, NDDC, Ministry of Niger Delta Affairs, Presidential Amnesty Programs, Corporate Social Responbilities of IOC etc 3) The Lands used to build the National Stadium, Gowon Estate,FESTAC, Jakande Estate, National Theatre etc were acquired from the indigenous peoples by Gov't and don't involve you or your tribe, so I don't know why you are wailing over it. 4) The LASG sending her indigenes abroad to acquire further competitive skills or giving them grants to buy shares of companies to drive the State forward doesn't affect you in any negative way. 5) Whatever issues you or anyone has with any Baale should be sorted out in courts. 6) Every State in Nigeria is already blessed beyond description. The negative energy you expend on fighting over Lagos should be used to discover the potentials of State and transform them into wealth and development. 1 Like |

Librason: You can NOT force people to be in a relationship ...that's why there's divorce. You or nobody else has the right to tell a person who to be in a relationship with. That word "non-negotiable" when it comes to the unity of the Zoological Republic of Animal kingdom, Zoogeria is anathema and as false as FALSE teeth! Talk about "Respect," I do NOT understand where you are going with that. But let me remind you that no ethnic group would claim that it has respect for others. Nigerians hate themselves and each other and that's the MORE reason each group has to go on their own. There would be NO love LOST! So, please, you need to STOP this deception and understand that NIGERIA is NOT ONE, has NEVER been ONE, and would NEVER be ONE! NOT until you and others get a grip on this simple fact, all of you would be living in DENIAL and deceiving yourselves. We were NEVER ONE before the British came and we are NOT ONE since they left! |

UNDFTD: What IAM I saying? what are you saying? you were just ranting , bla , bla, bla and I don't think you are in contradictory with me , what I think is there is misunderstanding somewhere, When I say "non negotiable" I put "no" before the statement, and IAM saying that our unity is not automatic, it's not a must. That if we are going to be together, there must be things we have to ensure or allow. For me , do i give a fvck about Nigeria's unity , is it a must, if Nigeria will divide , let it divide now! my wish is if it can come peaceful why not!? Because people are dying avoidably In this contraption called Nigeria. Unity is not by force ! I know but while we are still together, we must give ourselves sense to an extent , or we truly make it a full blown zoological garden, a zoo where we eat ourselves raw! Survival of the fittest.

Touchypro: Yoruba currently and will still get more benefits in Lagos at the expense of Igbo just like Igbo people get more benefits in Anambra or Imo at the expense of Yoruba for example there is no need for unnecessary list . Where all can do their businesses in the states , but the indigenes or the ethnic groups will get more chance in their respective states civil service , considerations in University admission (catchment area) , Health services, Bursaries e.t.c. infact. they have the soul of the state compare to strangers. Dubai is a city opening to tourism and investors for benefits obviously. So they will allow people in, including Nigeria and India you mentioned but they still have restrictions and can adjust if people abuse benefits just like what they did recently against countries, including Nigeria. There are no lawless cities or countries ( where there is no war ) , a place can't be without those who control it . |
