DMerciful: I am really surprised that some people think these guys are employees of Dangote Refinery. These are mere labourers, engaged by CONTRACTORS who are executing projects for the company. During the construction of the numerous Jakande Estates all over Lagos State , LASG engaged thousands of Youths from the North plus numerous local boys that worked as labourers. Even down south, whenever people want to do menial jobs like digging graves, soak away pits or gutters, they would say 'go to Sabo and call the Aboki people' 1 Like |

Igirigimercenar: Confront your problems and solve them, instead of looking for who to blames. I guess you were in primary school in 2002 when Ex-President Obasanjo entered into a fake accord with AD, with the false assurance that AD Govs should campaign and his 2003 election while the PDP would not field any gubernatorial candidates against them but Obasanjo reneged on this arrangement, which liquidated 5 AD Governors and Obasanjo attempted to take over the AD ,using Sen Mojisoluwa Akinfewa Faction. After protacted court cases, the Akande-led Faction f the AD resigned from the party and moved en mass to form AC |

About half of the people in Lagos have no business being in Lagos. They would be better off if they relocate to their States and take advantages of the opportunities there e.g food production. However, one of the most urgent needs ,Nigerians need is the end to Fulani killer Herdsmen. 7 Likes 2 Shares |

truthera: What aboutism have no play in court cases. The best options for you and other ers of Nnamdi Kanu are; 1) Get great lawyers to represent and defend him. 2) If convicted, get a great team to lobby for political solution e.g Presidential pardon 1 Like 1 Share |

While serving in the North, I met a young lady from Delta State, whom I wanted to ask out. She explained to me that, she just lost her BF, before coming for service but that his ghost still visited her. I was dumbfounded. |

Threedoorsdown: As the election draw nearer, there would be alignment and re-alignment of political forces but there can NOT be one party in a large heterogeneous country like Nigeria with competing and contrasting interests, which can't be accommodated in one party. |

Caseless: Nigerians are already citizens by the constitution. Please explain, how you plan to IMPLEMENT this indigeneship law. |
![]() |
DMerciful: I never said all citizens don't have rights but they aren't the same as indigenes. Benjamin Kalu's Bill try aim at 'making non-indigenes to become indigenes' This is very laughable. Suppose ,Ikemefuna and Umar Aldo who have lived in Benue State since 2010, without becoming Tiv or Idoma, want to become indigenes of Benue State, who will confer indigenship on them? 1) President 2) Governor of Benue State 3) Local Government chairman of their place of residence 4) Traditional Rulers of the towns they live in 5) Benjamin Kalu Indigenship ,just as love or unity can NOT be created by legislation. |

Nefort: The constitution of Nigeria already grant citizenship rights to ALL Nigerians. You only need to be citizens to run for elections. However, indigenship of a town or kingdom is by ancestries and cultural identities. If you want to become indigene of Ilesha, you become an Ilesha person by adoption of their language, culture and ways of life. You can NOT retain your ethnic identity and still want to be regarded as indigenes of other peoples ancestral homelands. This is fraudulent. 2 Likes |

DMerciful: You are fixated on Yorubas, instead of try to read and comprehend the issues raised. Look at UK, despite 800 years of colonialism, coexistence, subjugation and inter-marriages, the Irish people haven't become English. Yoruba is NOT the only people in Nigeria. As a matter of fact, it would favour the Yoruba but ,by nature ,Yoruba aren't interested in becoming indigenes of other States. It would put so many minority tribes in serious jeopardy. In short, this law is dead on arrival. Apart from Igbos and may be Fulanis, over 70% of Nigerians would oppose it. 1 Like |

MattChidi: It would cause greater problems than solutions. Few large tribes, who obviously would be the ones controlling the FG could use it to strategically position their people across Nigeria both geographically and politically. Read how Hausa-Fulanis settlers in Jos used the influence of their people in the FG to create Jos North LGA, which is predominantly for themselves. They now use slots of Plateau State to gain employment and even political appointments. In 2009, President Yar'Adua appointed a Kano man as a Minister from Plateau State. Indigenes of Plateau protested but all their protests fell to deaf ears. In 2011, GEJ appointed Olusegun Aganga (originally from Edo State) a Minister from Lagos. Hon Femi Gbajabiamila moved a motion that he isn't an indigene of Lagos State but nobody listened to him. |

OMEGA009: The bill goes beyond holding political posts. . The real reason for recurring crisis in Southern Kaduna and the Middle Belt is the attempts by the Hausa-Fulanis to become indigenes of these places and enjoy rights and privileges of indigenes including ancestral claims to lands. If you tell the Berom, Ngas or Anaguta, Agatu or Tiv that you want the Fulanis to become indigenes of their States, you would be beaten mercilessly. 1 Like |

DMerciful: You people don't think DEEPLY about major moves. You wrongly assume that this would be restricted to Lagos and other Yoruba States but you are dead wrong. By the time, you start seeing Justice Tajudeen Ishola, Justice Ibrahim Mukthair and Justice Binta Aminu representing Anambra, Imo and Abia States in the Supreme Court or Chief Denis Obahiagbon appointed as Minister to represent Ebonyi, it would be too late to shout marginalisation since, everybody would now be equal and they can claim indigenship of these States, having lived there for ten years. Indigenship evolve through ancestries and cultural assimilation, not legislation. For instance, Sen Fatai Buhari (APC, Oyo North) is an illustrious indigene of Ogbomosho BUT he is a descendant of 18th century Fulani settler in Ogbomosho. Today he is a proud Yoruba man. Gov Umar Bago is a Nupe indigene but his family is originally from Fulani Jihardists that settled and assimilated into Nupe society. |

jidemilo: It does NOT make any sense because; 1) Nobody can grant indigenship, FG or National Assembly can NOT grant indigenship . . . it is natural. Indigenship cab NOT be enforced just as love and unity can NOT be enforced. 2) Citizenship is not the same thing ad indigenship. Sodiq Khan (Long term Mayor of London), Rishi Sunak (Former Prime Minister) and Kemi Badenoch (Leader of Tory Party) became British citizens because they were born in the UK but they never became indigenes of England . Only English peoples are indigenes of England. 3 Likes |
