Nice one from the people of Ojo local govt.

This abomination must not be allowed

The UK has a Nigeria woman leading the conservative party . Barak Obama a Kenyan was President of the USA .

DONT you think it's time to leave this Retrogressive backward , unproductive and demeaning mind set .

vannessa7:


Do you think the whites will condone half of the hatred and insults, oppositions and dragging that igbos give Yorubas everytime and still allow the foreign person who are doing all these to be in a leadership position? Answer that question honestly to yourself. When you bite the finger feeding you and insult your benefactors you had it coming whatever happens. Imagine 15 years of opportunity yet they cannot find it in them to the party giving them such gratopportunity. Very bad and thouthless

Don't let those people gaslight you.

THE TIME OF LIBERAL POLITICS IN YORUBALAND IS OVER!

PDPdestroyer:
Yorubas have finally woken up from their slumber? I really hope so

I hope so too, but there are too many "Yoruba buts" among us.

The seemingly hospitality enjoyed by Igbos in Lagos; they've blown it up with bazooka in the last election. Good luck to them in Lagos.

Everybody hold ya side na APC dispensation we dey!

Badexx:
If APC rejects him as vice chairman, then another party should front an Igbo man as chairman and watch we Igbos will vote them to power, we have more population and influence in ojo, oshodi And amuwo

Dey play, una don start again, una no go your land go contest. Una no dey learn lesson.

Putindbutt:






For 15years running yet you can't stop hating Lagos state, Tinubu and APC but your hypocrisy can collect the appointments and positions from the same people you hate. Can you show us any non-ibo Vice Chairman in the SE talk less of 15 consecutive years.

Oga you people should Stop this Childish comparisms of SE Yorubas and Lagos Igbos;

How many are Yorubas in the entire Igboland? Not up to 00.2% of the RESIDENT Population (SouthEasterners at home are about 38 million)

But Igbos in Lagos are not less than 40% of the entire Lagos Population!!And at Ojo LG, They are about 58% of the Population.

So where do Yorubas Gather the numerical strength for Political negotiations in the SE

Then how much are Yorubas contributing in Tax revenues in the SE(with the Yorubas Population of less than 00.2% in the SE)

But Igbos Contribute 65% of Tax revenues in the Lagos state IGR!!!

So where do the Yorubas Gather the Economic strength for Political negotiations in Igboland??

I can go on and on....

So any time You and your likes wants to agitate for Political and Economic RECIPROCITY for Yorubas in SE always this differences in Circumstances...

Lagos was...and in fact still is...the CAPITAL of Nigeria even before all of us where born.Hence it's Special status as Nigeria's cultural melting pot.SE was not.

Stop using an ill-thought out excuse of RECIPROCITY as reasons other Nigerian's should not enjoy their constitutionally guaranteed rights at their states of origin.

You no go school?

I'm happy to see the yorubas waking up to take charge of their space. Being liberal to an hostile guest will consume one in no distant time.

Badexx:

Then LASIEC will just announce the APC candidate as winner. Let the yorubas don't allow that again. I trust them.

budaatum:


Hopefully, right minded people will vote Igbo when a more enlightened party nominates an Igbo as chair, since no be only we Yorubas live in Ojo.

just listen to yourself! You are not an indigene yet you contest in LG election in another state😂😂😂😂😂

In today's world, liberal politics is practically suicide and self annihilation.

DONT you think it's time to leave this Retrogressive backward , unproductive and demeaning mind set .

let start from your region first…..Yorubas have been at the forefront of sacrificing for one Nigeria with the liberal and accommodating nature of the Yorubas.

Go to Lagos state civil service and public schools and see the numbers of eboes, Tinubu even appointed them commissioners, and they even won elective post meant for indigent.

Despite all this, they tooks us as enemies and disrespect our land and heritage by calling it no man’s land. And you expect there wont be consequences?

And by the way mention where such privilege have ever been extended to other ethnic nationalities in your region? Even amongst yourself you discriminate with your Osu caste nonsense and some yeebos like Anambala see themselves superior to ebonyi and Enugu

And we could when bianca wanted to contest for senatorial sit in anambala, her husband home state, she was rejected and ask to go to her state in Enugu, yet you hypocrite think you have the moral right to question what the people want? Make everybody bear hin papa name…btw proudly Lagos

Why should a Yoruba man from Ondo or Ekiti be accepted and an Igbo man from Enugu, Anambra or Imo not.

Because it’s none of your business. That’s part of the problem, trying to tell another man how to manage his household. It’s like a stranger telling me how to treat my cousin or relative, do you know my family history? How is it your business? Imagine the audacity!

Yoruba are one family, we all descendants of Oduduwa. Ibos don’t know where they come from. One thing for certain. Ibos are not Yorubas and can’t tell Yorubas how we manage our affairs. We don’t tell you how to manage your affairs or question why You rejected Bianca because she is not from Anambra!

This is exactly why we don’t want you in charge of our affairs, you don’t understand our history or respect our traditions and you want to divide our people like you divide yours!

You. Don’t respect your hosts or their traditions and culture. You always try to impose your ways on others, you are naturally divisive. No thank you!

And by the way people not familiar with history confuse “colonial Lagos” with Lagos state! The local government in question for instance was never historically part of Lagos, Ajah, ikorodu, Epe Isolo, Ikeja, and many of places that Lagos state are not historically Lagos.

Places like Lekki, Ajah, Ikorodu and Epe are ijebu people. Abule Egba is so called because it is a historical settlement of Egba people. Abule ijesha is a settlement of people from ilesha. The people of Ketu are yoruba migrants from Ife. Even the awori from Lagos island are from Ife and Old Oyo empire. So when an ignorant buffoooon comes here to say why is a man from Ondo or Ekiti allowed, that ignorance is why we don’t want them in charge of our business!

Badexx:


Please check the last election and see our might, even tinubu your lord was trembling, sanwo Olu came to church and was doing usher for us , I even sent him message that day

Chinjo2:
The flag bearer chose an igbo man because he knows that he alone can get 60 of the total vote cast. If you know Ojo very well you will understand what I am talking about.
Ojo is an igbo dominated area.

Some educated tribal bigots, who do not know ojo thinks yoruba has majority there.

Let's be watching na! No be wuru wuru politic wey apc wan play again!

Abloh:
Na Lagos state people they give them space. Igbos in ibadan know their boundary.

greggng:
Why is it difficult to let the igbos go since you guys hate them this much ? A yoruba man will travel to Canada and UK and win elected position there ...An igbo man will do same over there ...but when it comes to Nigeria the tribalism is too much ...This country xanbot move forward with this kind of mindset

Those Yorubas in the US and UK don't insult their host by calling there 'no man's land'.

Ashirioluwa:
At what point are we going to begin to preach togetherness and tolerance in this country?

dey play fes!

There's too much bitterness amongst the people that share the same country, how do we pray and ask for progress with so much hate

flokii:
Yoruba leaders are playing with fire.. this is me being very honest.
Gone are the days of docility.. Local Government leadership should be strictly for indigenes, same as State Government. Opportunities abound for everybody at Federal level, but not LG or State level.

How many Yorubas are Vice Chairman in LGs in the East?.. your answer is none. So why should Igbos be holding offices meant for Yorubas in South West?

Yoruba ronu!

go remove dem naaa!

not hiding behind keypad & typing from inside one hole in ogbomosho town!

oladipupo2234:

Yoruba are not waking up over imminent threats in yoruba forests, displacing farmers and villages from their ancestral homes right in the hinterland. Herds men encroachment and destruction of farm products by cattles, costing farmers millions annually.

The Fulanis or foreign invaders are mas in our forest, and your lot don't see them as threat. Continue concentrating your energy on igbos. It may not make any sense to you, but I can tell you that the real threat are right in the forest preparing for an assault. Let's continue to play this politics of bitterness and tribalism, for it is going to make Nigeria, great.

The last election has finally blown the cover of the ingrates, their online bull sh*t has been exposed to the world, the consequences will be reverberating and unending, more changes to be expected.

kedeojo:
Then Lasiec will just announce the APC candidate as winner. Let the yorubas don't allow that again. I trust them.

Leave them alone, they'll never learn

I've had cause to tell some of them that a time is coming, AND NOW IS such that even if it remains only a single yoruba man in a local govt in lagos/sw and d rest are nddigbos, that single yoruba man will still win!

You are d first person I've come across in Nairaland to hint this also.
Cunnyman die, cunnyman buryam.

When we tell una to just face una tradingz and leave politics to others e go be like insult.

Hahahahaha.......just bookmark this post!

You no go school?

this long piece of garbage belongs to the thrash bin…..firstly give us the verifiable stats that made eboes 40% of Lagos population? Or you think this is your radio Biafra where all manner of propaganda are circulated?

Secondly you said your mgbeke tax that have not developed your region and still least developed region in the south is 65% of Lagos revenue🤣🤣🤣🤣 this Una onitsha statistics no go wound person🤣🤣🤣 dangote alone pay billions in taxes to both FG and state govt and all Una 2*2 shop and okrika business is not up to half of what you empty noise makers pay as tax

And please quit being smart by half, there are Yorubas who have live there lifes in SE and even speak your language, give us an example of one that as ever been appointed commissioner, not to talk of elected into public office.

You can cry all you want, but this generation of Yorubas are now embracing conservatism and the once liberal Yorubas you chest beating clowns took for granted are now taking back there city, below are list of businesses that pay the most tax and not your petty trade business 😂😂……btw proudly lagos

You're the same people that cede ordinary market leadership to only certain states within your Igbo tribe, yet you have to effrontery to talk about hate from Yorubas? You didn't see hate when you read that for over 15 years, the vice Chairmanship slot has been reserved for Igbos only. What you don't allow others in your clime, you expect to receive elsewhere. Very funny lots.

abeg leave those clowns, they don’t even know there history yet they claim to know the history of others. Sometimes I laugh when they claim Lagos was former capital.

The former capital ended at fadeyi in yaba and the rest was under western region and most of the land that make up Lagos state were part of Ogun state even the groups that make up the indigenes.

Just like you mentioned, the ijebus, awori, Egun and Egba which I belong, but this clowns think they can rewrite our history with there warped narrative

Bwanasaraw:

Those Yorubas in the US and UK don't insult their host by calling there 'no man's land'.

Let me state it clearly here ..I have mingled with so many igbos ...they don't joke with there independence. They don't believe leadership is someone's birth right .. They believe in fairness and justice. Even if a prominent igbo man tell them to vote a particular candidate...they will tell him that they have freedom to vote whosrver they wanna vote for .

The last time I checked igbos have been law abiding ...paying taxes ...paying rent , paying all manners of levies ...Tell me one thing igbos got for free in your region? I have no problem how you want to he governed but also understand that every igbo man has right to choose a particular yoruba man he feels like voting for . You cannot discriminate amongst your fellow yoruba .

In the estate where I live a certain igbo man was made the chairman ...within 2years of being in office...he has transformed the estate ... He will speak to his fellow igbo millionaires in a language they understand and they will donate millions for the development of the estate . One day I asked one yoruba nebor why he didn't accept being the chairman since is a yoruba land....he told me those fighting against any tribe are naive ...that ever since yoruba had been chairman ...that I shoukd tell him what they achieved ...that even a sit for community meet they couldn't afford. He listed the achievement if the new chairman as follows

1. We use to have water mixed with fuel ...The new chairman called specialist to dig a central borehole that connected to every house in the estate
2.He retied the damaged area of the entrance road leading to our community
3.instalation of street light
4 .installation of cctv cameras
5.buikding of community meeting place..
6.renovation of our entrance gate and security post

Finally , he got well equipped security guard ...

All this he was able to achieve with 2years .


This is a yoruba man testifying to the good work ab igbo man is doing . Allowing igbos to be in position in lagos state is a win win situation cos it will help generate more revenue to the state. Igbos will have a sense of belonging ...this will enable them.put in 100percent interns of development .For instance if an igbo man is not paying tax ...his fellow igbo man in position will talk to them via there community meeting ...this can change things for good ...If all you care for is to milk them ...dictate whom.tjey vote for during election....destroy there properties when they refuse to dance to your tune...then you are being unfair ...and there is limit you can.push a people ..For your information there are yorubas in igbo land doing business...there are hausa in igbo land doing business ...I believe people shoukd live as one ...In the next 100 years some of us might not be alive to ve dragging who is the owner of lagos ..make meaningful impact wherever you are

Evercurious:


It's very obvious you don't know Ojo LGA... That area is Igbo dominated. So rest

dominant ko, you wish…..there is no local government dominated by eboes, you may have significant population but Yorubas are still the majority.

A local govt that is ethnically Awori territory with traditional leadership is what you claim to dominate? The only place you dominate is your SE region and not in yorubaland

The ERA of Liberal Politics in YORUBALAND is OVER!
