MayorofLagos: Come 2019, they will not win in front of their houses talkless of any post. The last local government election, which is meant to be grassroot election, was a prototype of what is to come on them in 2019. 1 Like |

MayorofLagos: We should be open for Nigeria of tomorrow. The governor has prerogative of appointments and he gives to whom he chooses based on his approved criteria but it is expected that such appointments should reflect the diversity that has made Lagos so prosperous and cosmopolitan. Take a look at the Igbo who took appointments in Lagos state government. They are Igbo in name only but fully Lagosians. Is Joe Igbokwe not one of them. A man that shoots down anything Igbo. |

superstar1: Are we still operating democracy. Is democracy not a game of numbers. If you take advantage of the system today you might not succeed in it for ever. Please define what you understand by one Nigeria that fratricidal blood was shed to ensure that it thrives. |

jomonic:As much as we still operating in democracy without the help of White Americans,Obama wouldn't have been the first Black President of America,so like wise the Igbo house of reps and house of Assembly members wouldn't have been there without the consent of Yoruba's in Lagos. Sincerely if not for the way Igbos shout Lagos is no man's land, I don't mind Igbos having more seats so far they are representing their people's interest. Isolo-Okota/Ago-Palace way, Amuwo-Odofin/Festac area are dominated by Igbos so it's normal to have an Igbo man representing their interest but as it is now with the insults and distorting our history of ownership of Lagos just to discredit us, I will advise the Governor and Asiwaju to take proactive steps to reallocate those positions back to Yoruba's. 1 Like |

bakynes: Brilliant submission. The 2019 elections is a litmus test for yorubas. We need to tune off the online hate and transfer it offline. We dont need to argue with these people on the internet. |
Re: Ownership Of Lagos: Between Distortion And Obvious Facts. by Nobody: 4:29pm On Dec 02, 2017 |
bakynes: Consent of Yoruba's in Lagos. Asiwaju to reallocate? This is not democracy. For this to happen we need to change the constitution to allow it. The people under the legislative area have the power to transfer mandate not necessarily Yoruba or Asiwaju. We must understand what one indivisible Nigeria entails. Nigeria has survived on proceeds of oil and gas for over 40 years. All infrastructure development in Nigeria is from oil and gas. We need to appreciate this and be guided in the way we appraise our understanding of one Nigeria. |

Alcatraz005: I think you have to eschew sentiment and face reality. I am looking at a Nigeria of equal opportunities. The way Canada or USA will admit you and you become a part of them. This is the vision of our founding fathers. I believe that it is the ideal that fired the passion behind the coalition that shed fratricidal blood for the sake of one indivisible Nigeria. If Nigeria thrives on this ideal we will be as great as the world super powers. |

jomonic:We are also looking at it from that angle but the Igbos have insulted our magnanimity, they now call us Cowards, no Nigerian will ever tell Americans they are cowards and other insults they met out to us. 2 Likes |

bakynes: I think that is the product of bashing in reciprocity. We should move on. Words cannot describe how the Igbo feel when you gloat over their misfortune in the civil war; that they deserve the suffering and subsequent marginalization and justify the action of your people. |

LIES, LIES, LIES. A FICTITIOUS NARRATIVE AND AN EXERCISE IN FUTILITY. COMPLETELY DIFFERENT FROM THE HISTORY OF LAGOS THAT WE WERE TAUGHT IN PRIMARY SCHOOL DURING SOCIAL STUDIES. GO READ D WHITEMAN ACCOUNT ON LAGOS AND RE-ASSESS UR WRITE UP. WHY ARE PEOPLE SUDDENLY TRYING TO DISTORT HISTORY. BOTH YORUBA AND BINI HISTORY ACKNOWLEDGE THE PRESENSE OF INDIGENOUS TRIBES BEFORE THE CONQUEST OF EKO BY BINI. WHO WAS THE 1ST OBA OF LAGOS, WHERE WAS OLOFIN WHEN ADO WAS OBA OF LAGOS.? |

jomonic: Igbokwe only tells the truth to the Igbo. He calls it as he sees it. You chaps expect him to support any mindless, thoughtless action embarked upon by your people, simply because such an action was created by an Igbo man. Igbokwe always points out the folly in such an action, and your people hate him for that. ![]() 1 Like |

Vivere: You're dead wrong. Joe is living his dream. He knows just what to say to attract your sympathy and earn more Naira from your government coffers. He understands your mood and pretentiousness to sophistication so he highlights this all the time. Most of his position on the Igbo tend to align with the perspective of Yoruba about the Igbo. Things like Igbo should be grateful to their hosts; and similar rubbish. How can one be a guest in his own country? No one heard his voice when the Oba of Lagos issued threats on the Igbo which most of you justify even though we operate a democracy. That's so much for saying the truth to Igbo. |

jomonic:Splendid submission but it won't be possible because of the founding fathers weren't honest with one another. This is because, before any different groups with pride can decide to forge a unified union, the real power brokers, who truly control the people are well informed. Also, religion, tribes and ancient form of governance were different, these are supposed to considered. Until the real problems, which has to do with allowing self expression and equal opportunity are placed before people so as all to see reason to make the country great like every other developed countries without saboteurs. Assumption of being great will always be theoretical in Nigeria . |
