You presented it well and it sounds reasonable. However, as the saying goes, if wishes were horses, everyone would ride."

AH !

Igbos we go contest for Lagos state governorship election and pushu APC

https://punchng.com/why-kalus-indigene-bill-must-be-rejected/

I the bill because I will like to see indigenous Igbo of Lagos, Indigenous Fulani of Anambra and indigenous Yoruba of Kaduna.

sylve11:



Southerners are opposed to it.

For example, I have resided in my current locale for over a decade; I have never perceived any compelling reason to identify as an indigene.

It simply defies logic to me.

Why are you so resolutely intent on obtaining approval for this legislation?

There is nothing like being resolute it's a bill like any other bill it isn't a military decree.
It is a fundamental issue it's not a privilege to be recognised as citizens of where you live,work and pay taxes to the government in same country.

koning:




The indigene bill has nothing to do with tribe. It refers strictly to state of residence and spousal relationship with and indigene of a STATE.

You should be able to see through the paranoia of these Yorubas from outside Lagos. They don't care about Akure, Ekiti, Ogbomosho etc. They just don't want to lose Lagos or have serious competition with people of other tribes born and raised in Lagos.

Lagos is what they are crying about. Not the Yoruba tribe. Read between the lines.

The way you people talk ehn, one would think all 50m Yorubas are living in Lagos. You are quick to bring Lagos into any random discussion. The Obsessions is real

Some of us dont give an F about Lagos. We just want our own state of origin to solely belong to us.

ILagos aside, There are more Igbos in Akure here than there are Yoruas in the entire SE. That we dont fancy that uselesss inflitration has nothing to do with Lagos


Any small thing 'Lagos'. Like say una no dey everywhere for SW or Yorubas outside Lagos no plenty the ones for Lagos

People are making demand for their fundamental rights as citizens and you term it as infiltration?
Is Yoruba land a different country?

Caseless:
yeah!

People like you and the stupid writer are willing to be citizens of USA if given the opportunities, or you'll celebrate your own being citizen of united States by virtue of residency, but those born in your community or lived there for decades can't be fully seen as citizens.

Black people are backward and we know why.

It has nothing to do with Black People. The OP mentioned close to 10 countries and none is Africa

I guess China is Black too

By the way, There is no scientifically proven correlation with Nationlism/territorialism and Skin colo

Read wide and make more researches. Most of us here are far smarter than you can ever be.

Adulteration of cultural and tribal identity!

Why do you badly wanna be an indigene of any other state outside your state of origin?

I would never wanna claim Lagos, Abuja or any state in Nigeria. I'm cool as an Ondo indigene. Theres some uniqueness in that

I spent years in UKPO, Anambra state and i never wanted to be Igbo. It defies logic

We have 10000 other issues to deliberate on. Useless bills like this should be 1000001.

I tire for them.

Nefort:

It will significantly reduce tribalism because people will be encouraged to settle outside their ancestral lands without the fear of being second class residents. It encourages Nigerians to mix up, and the more we mix up the more we get comfortable with each other and realize focusing on tribal differences is just pointless.

Am sorry to say this, but the reasons you proffered above to quelling tribalism in nigeria are quite lame, to say the least. All the points you made are already in existence that no du.mb bill will accentuate its acceptability. In fact, one nigeria is a scam!

One nigeria means different things to all nigerians. To the northerners, their concept of one nigeria is North for northerners, East for easterners, West for westerners and we ALL eventually meets at the centre. On the other hand, our eastern brothers assume that , it means they can leave their region and go and lord it over other region/s in the federation. The westerners' views are in line with the northerners.

We are not One. We can never be One. We are different peoples living within a geographical area of the world. I don't know about you but i am con tent being a yoruba man and i have no wish or desire to jettison all that makes me a yoruba man just so i can become a nigerian. Hell No.

No, yoruba land is not a country rather it is a nation. Just like Igbo land too, is a nation etc

If the senate rejects it so be it we are in democracy atlfterall.

My point exactly.
Citizens of same country can't be treated like foreign migrants within the country

It was agreed by all before independence to have a regional government of Federating units .

Nobody is going to ditch their cultural heritage to appease you low inferiority people.

One Nigeria does not translate to your foolish Zikist interpretation.

You are first and foremost an Ibo man that originally qualified you to be a Nigerian.

Nigeria's multiculturalism journey won't be at the dearth of proud ethnic origins just to appease you .

You ibos ehn.

Thar trouble your yanga dey go disturb you go see am.

Why are you not dragging Kano or anywhere in the fundamental Islamic north but your Zikist foolishnes is limited to Lagos and the Niger Delta ?

You can't even try your rubbish outside Lagos or in places like Edo , Bayelaa or Cross River .

jidemilo:
Politics aside the bill make a lot sense

The bill is a Tribal Land grab it makes no sense even the SE has already rejected it by it's own actions

Which part of the SE have Fulani who have lived there over 60 years been given full control of
Or how many Fulani has SE states given Certificate of Origin to

Tell us
We are waiting

sylve11:


Lol

You guys arr just funny.😁

how so?

Ojiofor:
The writer said non indigenes should vote only in their states of origin...
Then why are Tinubu's from other Yoruba states ruling Lagos state or it does not apply to Lagos?

Good question.

The reaction from both chambers to this bill should answer the question of whether Nigeria should or should not remain as a country.

DomPerignon:

Na wao for this RONUist folks o
The bill said your place of residence whether it is Kano,Enugu,Ibadan Maiduguri.

Lagos is Yorubaland 100%
Yorubaland is Yoruba Homeland .

We are not dragging Onitsha with you

Having constitutional rights as citizens of one nation is different from your tribal and cultural BS nobody wanna be Yoruba.
For example no constitution will grant a non native Lagosian to aspire to become Oba of Lagos state or be initiated into Oro cult that isn't what is all about.

You either accept one Nigeria or quit

Ojiofor:

No it doesn't work that way.

You either respect your boundaries or wake up one morning and see yourself expelled permanently from Nigeria.



You will learn the principles of good fences make better neighbors.

SeeWahala:
We don't care

We just want to buy up and own all the lands there and rent it out to your descendants, you can chop your indigenous status like Amala, we no send am

always making mouth everywhere.most of you are the reasons non Igbos hate us.tufiakwa.

Ojiofor:


Tackle the points that I raised in my last comment.
You mean the north or Yoruba people are against it?Yoruba are the the only ones opposing it.

Typical Ibo myopic pig

Today north is now your ally

You might as well Fulani ruga bill.

The Ibo is the most foolish thing God created .

As it is now, anyone can contest elections anywhere. What new value will the bill add if adopted?. Even as it is, you can be adopted by indigenes if you know how to maneuver yourself.

Just wait—give it three weeks. some forgetful Good Samaritan will resurrect this tired topic from the grave, thinking he's discovered some fireworks for his brothers, ever hungry for chaos, will circle it like starving vultures. Meanwhile, the eagle that originally pitched this idea in the National Assembly would have Long gone ,off soaring toward the next headline, probably pitching a new committee on why jollof rice should be a new national asset.
