First off, I'm not from the East, say South-South. You kind of lack the basic knowledge on how States or Nations operate. I could tell you that the real Indegenes of Lagos State maybe a little fraction when compared to their guests, so in real sense; who seems to be benefitting from the other? The indegene...on that was the reason I said you should be grateful. And FYI, being a Lagosian doesn't automatically make you rich so drop this your pompous air 'cause if that was the case; Nigeria won't have been poverty capital.

Normally I don't do this tribal iss, but you should respect the Igbos 'cause they're the life-wire of your state and Nigeria. I once read a foreign book by an American author who acknowledged how a Nigerian(Igbo) thinks in anywhere he finds himself more especially abroad and I was proud of being a Nigerian 'cause the s were positive with facts. Sentiments aside, are the Igbos not the same people you Lagosians killed and inherited their properties? Should we go down memory lane? You're just hating 'cause they're doing better in your land.

Geeerrouout of my mention flatinono . I asked you a simple question but here you are bombarding me with " I am SS". thingy.
I respect SS people a lot because they are straight forward people,don't go about making trouble like you lots.
But except you are one of those " we are SS" IBO's claiming to own PH and some part of SS region.

Shove your " I am not IBO abeg.

MikelIbe:
I laugh so loudly because over 4million migrants from Niger, Chad , north etc invaded Lagos within this three years of deliberately porous border. If you doubt this , come to Lagos and see for yourself the change you wanted. Your eye will soon open, trust me. Dey there dey talk about Igbo this and that.

Lagos is Yorubaland even if it was fortunate or unfortunate to be the capital at one time,it still remains Yorubaland.Igbos will always largely flock to where Yorubas use as capital because of our progress and liberalism.It was the same thing when Ibadan was the capital ofcYoruba land and it became the most developed,bouyant and progressive in Nigeria.Yorubas are like the whites,they do not work hard like labourers,Yorubas work smart and mostly use Igbos just like whites use some blacks.

So Ambode is from the failed state of Ondo

Ambode is not from Ondo, he is from Lagos. I have an uncle around his age who went to University claiming he was from Kwara so he could qualify in catchment for ABU, and get this....back then States paid students bursary and scholarship to go to school. My uncle, bonafide Oyo guy got ission and scholarship to ABU, paid by Kwara.

I suspect Ambode used Ondo forissionn quota.

LOL, cancelling my post means it got to you. I'd rather identify with the Igbos than the Yorubas as I've made up my mind to marry an Igbo man. You respect South-South? Well, you need to 'cause our resource is what's running this Nation. That said; if you've ever been to PH/Rivers State; you'll know that the Igbos have something with common in us, and I'm from Rivers State. Take your useless question to bed.

Do I look like a care or give a damn about your ranting here, at all, to you

Well sorry, for your information I care not.

Igbo I think this is the necessary time you should stop calling Lagos no man 's land. know that as old generation are going new generation are coming. This generation that controls power now in Yoruba land are accommodating and peaceful. Don't spoil your reputation now because this coming generation will takeover and they might use the the ugly statement you guys issued against Lagos to frustrates you guys . Consider tomorrow. Yoruba will be your greatest enemy if they will hate and be against you in their land. You guys have more to loose when what is happening on NL happen real life . If you like buy and build houses everywhere in Lagos you still remain stranger. Our generation are now on media and if they begin to reason you guys hmm it will be bad. I am a proud awori boy from badagry. my father is an awori while my mum ijebu from ikorudu. Lagos like every other Yoruba state has oba. every single local government in Lagos has its on oba . Benin did not have any local government in Lagos they occupy. Lagos is Yoruba Land . Every Igbo man irrespective of it stats can fight,defend and prove oga over any state in the east. Southwest Nigeria is all Yoruba land. Igbo stop calling Lagos that name because one day it will turn you to Yoruba greatest enemy. Thank you

You see your lies.The people making it abroad more than any are the Yorubas and your flat head knows that.Talkingcabout owners of industries that only one will swallow millions of your 2×2 investments,then talk about the Yorubas.
Name one Igbo billionaire and business person outside Nigeria and I will name 10 Yorubas.There is no country in the world that there is not a Yoruba person and they always strive to be the best.

Diiet:
Any yoruba man, irrespective of his state of origin is a bonafide indegene of lagos.
But the people who only spend three days in their villages during christman festival will forever remain non indegenes of lagos irrespective of their contribution or years they've lived in lagos.

We know the people Ambode is refering to and those people know themselves, they are already showing their displeasure here. Instead of picking offense with the statement, let it serve as a wake up call.
What the governor is trying to say is that you should start holding your leaders acountable instead of fleeing to yoruba land.

He said indigenes of failed states not failed tribes. He's not from Lagos, so he's indicting himself.
You cannot be from Ogun State and go and be claiming Oyo State. You can't get the benefits of Oyo State indigenes even if you were born there. Why is it different with Lagos?
Which leaders should be held able? Is it Tinubu and Fashola that made Lagos what it is today? How come Oyo, Ogun, Ekiti, Osun and Ondo states aren't also like Lagos?
You Yorubas think you can enjoy the benefit of Lagos alone, after the wealth of the country especially the Niger Delta had been poured on the State over decades? Na lie! Lagos is a no man's land joor.

ikpuchinonye:
yes cause that's the only state Yorubas are can boast of. other yoruba states are failed states hence the reason every yoruba is claiming to come from Lagos State. go back to your village and stop claiming Lagos

who no like better thing, jst try make 1 state decent in ur region

Racoon:
This table Ambode is shaking ehen! Many people are on it.

thief-nubu gann is not leftout

ikpuchinonye:
you could not hide your emotions that's why you couldn't stop urself from quoting me in the first place cause you knew I just said the truth...go back to your osun village and develop it and stop claiming Lagos..Lagos is for every Nigerian.. Every Nigerian developed Lagos State..Yorubas should go n develop their remaining states..

every region in Nigeria got a state to be proud of, south south. port, north kano abuja, south west lagos , east......, u guys sud go home

I recommend Lonart. You will be okay.

Pele

If his jabs is targeted at Igbos then he should also find out why Igbos are everywhere including Afghanistan and Congo just like the Chinese, Lebanese and Israelis are everywhere. We migrate to fill the gap left by the uninformed locals and then make money capitalizing on their lapses. Our land is good and beautiful but saturated with wise and business inclined people.

No one cares who you identify with. Your problem, your headache, your choice. It does not remove anything from yorubas. You can even identify with aliens, na your choice. You are inconsequential and a nonentity. So who cares about nobody. That is your personal interest.

iammo:


Ignorant talk, the colonialist paid land use charges and compensation to the real owners of Lagos, Herbert maculey even won a case in that regard against the British Lagos governor for the then eleko of Lagos oba esugbayi... It is clear Lagos belongs to Yoruba, any attempt to reclaime it after crossing river Niger shows shamelessness and inferiority complex

Bros evidence or shut up ur mouth.
I don't need ur moonlight story.

ola6:
My own be say, if NK and ipod split Nigeria. I wonder how these guys would carry their houses in Lagos and Abuja? If they want to sell, who would buy for more than 1 Naira.

Interesting times ahead...

If you like, don't develop your region, be running from Lagos to Abuja claiming developers...na you sabi.

Naso .Abi.Infact na dem develop Nigeria

, Okay, since it is not biniland again now, it is no man's land. Yorubas controls n dictate for you in their land. That is the fact. You can keep shouting no man's land today, bini land tomorrow. Thanks

Lagos is not owned by any tribe, it is a property of Nigeria developed with Niger Delta oil money as former capital of Nigeria for more than 30 years as they are doing to Abuja now. British defeated Binis to conquer and acquire lagos.

immhotep:

So you finally agree that Lagos is no man's land

If it belongs to everybody, it belongs to nobody.

Here is the truth, whether Igbos like it or not:
1) the Igbo man is addicted to Lagos
2) the Igbo man cannot survive in the Native region, the SE.
3) The average Igbo man especially the ones that lack exposure are envious and hateful of other regions
4) Biafra is an Igbo man's opium
5) An Igbo man is tribalistic and only cares about himself first, then his village. Clanish in nature, an Igbo man can only survive in a cosmopolitan society. He can't stand his fellow Igbo man's nature.
6) An Igbo man would choose money over morality and values hence, if you have money in Igbo land, you are king.
I know in their deepest hearts, they know these FACTS but they are in denial.
My two cents.
As for those carrying Lagos on their head. Ha...don't worry. It's gradual na. As you can see, you have no commissioner slot in Lagos unlike before....Keep calm and watch.
Just FYI, the powers in Lagos are watch all your comments on social media. Continue calling Lagos a no man's land. Na your papa land. , your C of O is a lease agreement for 99 years. You do not own any land in Lagos and you collect Governor's consent or approval to build on the LEASED land.
Good luck owning Lagos

who no like better thing, jst try make 1 state decent in ur region

but the Yorubas couldn't make any of their states decent even the igbos that suffered a civil war were able to at least build most of their cities back

Westbestside:
Most dumb statement from unintelligent igbo boy. If hs should google lagos gov. The you should google that of anambra, imo , abia, enugu and see that eastern states are not own by igbos. They are all no man's land. onitsa belongs to benin

.
Pls, go and goggle about d history of Onitsha and let ur mind free history to instruct it, its ignorance.
Onitsha indigenes are foreigners in Igbo land according to history. Their forefathers wander and came to reside in Onitsha. Onitsha indigenes are not Igbos but not dat the land they are occupying are their own. They are alien in a foreign land just like d way Black Americans are in USA. They are doing everything pertaining to Igbos culture and tradition like "Iwa Iji and Ofala" etc
But wait oooh, is this d low level u have succeeded in putting urself into; comparing a state with a city. My brother, go and read ur history very well and stop showcasing ur foolishness. Onitsha indigenes are now full Igbos with Igbo names. But when it has to do with history, where a group came from, then u can bring up that trash u wrote up there. The same way wit people from omabala region that claimed their forefathers are among d sons of Israel that.
Go and ask urself, why up till today that there is no Lagos governor that claimed he is from Lagos even d present governor Ambode is from Ogun. And some critical post there are handle by people from other tribe. The way Abuja is now, that is what Lagos has been since independence. Be at home with ur history and stop letting ur sentiment mislead u.

Lol, if you get money reach one level, it will shout for itself and not by mouth talk. Una no get money, that why forb cannot rate una above yorubas. In men category, yorubas lead una, in female, una no reach. For youth, una no reach, in music, na back of yorubas una dey, for sport, only in football is where una get mouth small, other sports, una dey behind. In ICT una ni reach, in banking, una no fit stand yorubas. Yorubas controls 50% banking in the nation. Oga, you can try to drag it, i will school you.

Obi1kenobi:


Here's the truth:
1) All Nigerians are addicted to places where the colonialists and FG have sunk the bulk of the national cake to developing: whether Lagos, Abuja or wherever
2) Plenty of Igbo men are surviving in the SE. It has the largest population density in Nigeria. That you've not left your Ogbomosho village before doesn't mean you can spout misinformed nonsense.
3) The average Igbo are envious of other regions. Yes, in a country of great injustice, we are hardly ecstatic to have easily the least Federal presence in the country and the FG budget for the SE is by far the lowest in the Federation every single year. It's a miracle how we've kept it progressing.
4) Not every Igbo s the Biafran movement. Not one single prominent Igbo son has ever publicly ed the movement.
5) All Nigerians are tribalistic, clannish in nature and survive best in cosmopolitan environments. Else, Ekiti or Ondo or Osun would thrive more than Lagos, or Ogun, the most cosmopolitan territories in the SW. Also, ironic a clown that spouts such hateful generalizations has the effrontery to call others "tribalistic".
6) Yet, for some reason, it's drug barons like Kashamu and Tinubu that rise to prominence in the SE. The classic Yoruba propaganda I've heard since I was a child when a Yoruba teacher said it to me. Always ascribing phony, non-existent virtues to themselves. Had I not come to Nairaland for example, I would have throught Otokoto was the only ritualist in Nigerian history. Nevermind that Yoruba culture is demonstrably more fetish and head-hunting is in the daily news. That's propaganda and phony virtue-signalling for you.

The fact is for whatever reason, you feel insecure about Lagos. You spend all the time trying to tell everyone you built the city, but nobody believes it. The legacy is there for everyone to see, regardless of whose ancestral land it is. Some of us can even acknowledge you have contributed more to it than any other tribe. But then there are the ones who choose to trade in fiction making it out like they built Lagos from scratch and others simply moved in the cash in on your sweat. A laughable narrative.

Please, get on with your empty lives and quit the primitive internet arguments about who owns what. My dad owns property in Lagos. I'm a renter, but I intend to own mine too. Come and take it from us and stop the foolish, idle threats that bother no one.

the laws we take it from you... the lease is 99 years

I won't be on the streets spilling blood but I would be dishing out policy within my sphere of influence to ensure igbos are flushed out.

If attacks against igbos happen this time around, the yoruba elite and intelligentsia will not come to your rescue. Igbos do not have allies anywhere.

You internet igbos have made a lot of enemies for your tribe and it's unfortunate.

Are you aware that there are Yorubas living and working outside the South west, where they own land, work and have businesses, it's people like you that complain that White people are racist, but are closet hitlers.
