Of course it must be them.

The real attache by force

And tomorrow the same idiots will be shouting "Biafra or death.

My only problem is that they should also accept tHhe fulanis in their region as indigenes.

We wholeheartedly accept them as indigenes especially the few ones that are brave enough to come and live within Igbos in the South East wink

They will use BoboChicago malistration of snatch & grab to steal the Lands of the indigenes.

What do you mean by 10yrs to become an indigene. Do these Rubber & Stamp Assembly understand what indigene mean ? grin grin grin

Why not citizen, if you are truly seeking National cohesion. Do they know the difference ? If you are ing such "indigenous" Laws in a "federal" enterprise, better divide that enterprise, let ever,one go their indigenous ways grin

First take care of the citizens before delving into matters beyond your useless laws, competence & capability.

Are you telling me that someone that moves to a remote village 10 yesrs Prior, where the indigenes have been existing will automatically become an indigene of thar remote village after 10yrs ? grin grin grin

Likewise the Fulani Herders who have moved & occupued indigenous land of real ethnic indigenes since the Ruga master came on board are now indigenes of the Land they forcely stole through jihad conquest. In other words they csn continue to fight for the land after 10yrs of occupying & grabbing those indigenous land. grin grin grin

The ethnic & religious confusion & violence Bobo Chicago through his Rubber Stamp Assembly is mixing in that useless National Lab will consume everything, everwhere, everybody.

I can bet that this bill never work in this country even if it is hurriedly assented to. No be for Lagos where majority of the residents are not allowed to vote because they are non-indigene? Now they want to champion a bill that will throw open eligibility of non indigene to be voted into an office!

That childish ethnicity will never allow that to happen, or have we not heard where a former first lady, who then was a seating senator made a disparaging remark about the igbos in the full glare of camera in the wake of 2019 general elections?

He is an Ibo. He is learning from the playbook of Aguiyi Ironsi and Nnamdi Azikiwe.

This is not a matter of education, it is willful ignorance.

If other amendments fail, this one will . The majority of regions will vote yes but it will benefit the Fulanis, the most followed by Igbos.

It cant work. Nigeria is a veey tribalistic society. In State Tertiary institutions alone Students pay different school fees. Different school fees for indigene and none indigenes.

Absolute Rubbish

The intention for this bill is evil and we know where the source is from. They are the same gumbody gumbody gumbody people sponsoring the bill. The attache by force people who are never proud of where nature has freely given them as their natural heritage.

The same "Lagos-Is-A-No-Man's-Land" goons. In collaboration with the Fulani land grabbers.

This will likely be the bill that will eventually divide Nigeria.

I'm not sure we have representation from SW among them because if we have, they will not allow the bill to in the first place.

Everybody should develop their region, seek to create opportunities and make it attractive for the coming generation.

Don't destroy your region and its economy with sponsored and ed terrorism, sit-at-homes and banditry, only to run to other region after destroying yours and be dragging their limited resources with them in the name of one-nigerianess.

This is a very simple thing , modify the law and put a clause ,not applicable to Lagos. This will solve the problems of all sides so that we can use the internet for more useful things.

By the way Nigeria ought to be ing bill to create a new commercial ,business and industrial capital somewhere around kogi state and Abuja so that Lagos can finally be for lagosians . This will be about the best solution to Lagos
