LAGOS indigenes under the aegis of De Renaissance Patriots Foundation, Tuesday, declared that the group has no problem with Igbo residents, insisting that it is worried about Yoruba from other South-West states.

The group’s President, Mr Miftah Bolaji Are, who spoke during a visit to Ikorodu, said there were individuals from South-West, not indigenes of Lagos but hold prominent offices in Lagos.

Are said they would no longer tolerate individuals who short-changed them under the pretense that they were Lagos indigenes.

He said: “We have no problem with Igbo. It is the South Westerners that are our problem. I have asked them, if you say Igbo want to take over Lagos, are the Igbo the ones who take people’s land and award the same to themselves? Are they Igbo who approve C-of-Os for those lands given out to other non-indigenes? So, I told them that they cannot send Igbo packing because Igbo are not our problem but the South Westerners who want to capture Lagos unjustiably.”

Also speaking at the meeting, former Minister of Communications, Maj. Gen. Tajudeen Olanrewaju (retd), lamented that some people come to the state claiming either double indigeneship adding that it was against the law.

Olanrewaju, who is also the Alternate Chairman, Board of Trustees of the group, said: “The objective of resident non-indigenes is to capture Lagos State, politically and deny the indigenous people their constitutional rights and privileges. How do you explain the situations when the holders of six important political offices, most often, are held by non-indigenes?

“The ruling elite and leadership in Lagos State government, by holding on to the most important political positions, control the political administration and the state’s resources, and use the state to climb the political ladders at the expense of the indigenes.

“Important decisions, political selection and constitutional entitlements are allocated on this basis of inequality and self interests. We can give examples of non-indigenes, who proudly hold double indigeneship and use Lagos State as stepping stones. How do they achieve it? They achieve it through false declaration because they are never confirmed to be known by families they claimed to come from in Lagos State.

“It is a betrayal, wrongful representation and lack of respect for Lagos State indigenes when the contesting parties nominate candidates who have two states of origin for the state. This attitude of deliberate imposition makes it possible for Senator Solomon Adeola a.k.a. Omo West/Yayi to use Lagos slot to the Senate at the National Assembly. He is currently representing Ogun State (West) in the Senate. This is unhealthy.

“The state deserves a full-time Minister as expressed in the Constitution and not a Minister of State that we have. De Renaissance Patriots Foundation is not against these appointees in their personal capacity, but we feel we should point out the serious flaws that deny the state indigenes of their rights and privileges.

“We want the country to become prosperous and well secured for all its citizens. We pray for our leaders to lead properly and succeed. Our state should do everything possible to ensure that indigenes are not overwhelmed by the daily movement of people who decide to settle in our midst. The ruling elite must not try to put a yoke of slavery on the indigenes because of streaming migration of settlers on the land.”

Rónu group go back to Ogbomosho

I have said it many times, that Yoruba Muslims are the once causing problem for the real Yorubas

The real native and indigenous Lagosians have spoken.

The are marginalized by migrant yorubas in their own land.

It’s time an indigenous lagosian regardless of political party gets to rule Lagos.

How can one be strangers in their own land?

I knew this will happen, yoruba people from deep villages came to Lagos and refused to respect their hosts

Since they are causing trouble, they should go back to their undeveloped mud houses in Ikare Akoko Ekiti

I just knew it was vanguard lol o ipob

No need for explanations.
Just form a political party for indigenes only and get the indigenes to vote for indigenous candidates.
Problem solved.

Anambra people don pay hoodlums money to form association and issue ultimatum

This kind of threads though

But I agree that it's high time a full blooded Lagos indigene is allowed to govern the state

That has not been the case since 1999

I'm not saying anything about this topic. I just want to laugh very well.

It baffles me that someone that cannot remember his village located in osun state captured Lagos State for ages and they keep mastubating on anything igbo.

Igbos are trying to play divide and conquer

If yorubas divide and conquer you using ikwerre, ebonyi and asaba, hope you won't cry

..watch how the ONLINE LAGOSIANS will prove the real indigenes right..the indigens of Lagos don't make noise for what belongs to them..but the fake Lagosians fröm Iragbiji & ogbomosho always make the loudest noise.." go back to your village "..
