Non-indigenes in Lagos must respect their hosts - Oba of Lagos

In an exclusive interview with Punch, the Oba of Lagos, Riliwanu Akiolu, says there is a need for non-indigenes in Lagos State to respect the tradition and culture of their host.
“Eze Odimegwu, who is a former CEO of Nigerian Breweries, is still my best friend as well as many others. The Obi of Onitsha came to visit me here a few days ago. When you go to a place, you have to respect the host leaders, particularly the traditional leaders there because you are coming to benefit from their success. The people of Lagos are the friendliest and most accommodating people in Nigeria.”
He said the video which showed him issuing threats to Igbo leaders was a misrepresentation of what truly transpired. He said the issue was twisted by those who wanted to gain political advantage ahead of the governorship election but God put them to shame.
“Those who orchestrated the entire incident know themselves and I tell you, those (Igbo leaders) who came here on that day understand me a lot and have even been coming since then,” he said.

WHAT IS THIS MAN'S PROBLEM. BUT AGAIN, SILENCE IS CONSENT. NOBODY SHOULD COMPLAIN OVER THE OUTCOME OF THIS RUBBISH SINCE NOBODY WANTS TO CALL HIM TO ORDER. THE PUNCH NEWSPAPER IS PART OF THIS PLOT. THEIR INTERVIEW WAS A PLATFORM TO WHIP UP ETHNIC SENTIMENTS RATHER THAN AS CONSTITUTIONAL QUESTIONS. PEOPLE SHOULD KEEP FOOLING THEMSELVES BELIEVING THAT LAGOS IS BEING DEVELOPED ONLY BY YORUBAS. I KNOW THAT MTN, ETISALAT, SHIPPING COYS, BANKS, VANGUARD, GUARDIAN, SUN, CADBURY AND MANY MORE ARE NOT OWNED BY YORUBA. THIS BULLYING MUST STOP NOW. YORUBAS ARE IN PH, ABUJA, KADUNA ETC. WHERE SOMEBODY CHOOSES TO BE IS THEIR PREROGATIVE AND NOT THE FAULT OF ETHNIC GROUPS THEY DETEST.

Which success are they benefiting from? they work for their selves were ever they are and contribute in developing the place as well! to hell with you!!!

Oba of Lagos and all Lagosians should please let us hear word. What does he mean by "benefit from our success". Has Lagos not been made successful by the hard work of all those who have made Lagos home? Dangote, Dantata, Ibru, Oba Otudeko, Jim Ovia, Tony Elumelu etc, how many of these people are Lagos indigenes? Perhaps, the Oba and Lagos indigenes should show more gratitude.

You silly Oba should also respect yourself if you want people to respect you. Respect is not one way. It is two ways. Yoruba people also live in the North, In Edo State, in Rivers State, In Calabar, Warri and Ibo land. I have never heard Emirs, Obas and Igwes issue threats on them because of a dirty political game. Those traditional rulers are also hosts to yoruba people.

You open your stupid mouth again to say that other people come to Lagos to benefit from your success. What stupid success are u talking about? We (all tribes) made Lagos what it is today. We all developed Lagos together. So stop claiming the success alone. The colonial masters were also part of the success and Lagos developed fast only because it was made the capital of Nigeria for a long time. If Ibo land was made the capital of Nigeria, it would have also been more developed than Lagos. So stop bragging senselessly. You are still not remorseful. You still talk childishly. Stmcheew

Respect which stupid host? Maybe yorubas should leave other states and other tribes go to their states lets see who will suffer. Crude oil is in South South, what does Lagos produce? Timber and Rubber and Palm oil is from Edo state, vegetables, cassava, rice, tomatoes are from the North. All the companies in Lagos owned by other tribes will move to the states of those tribes. Then let the country divide and lets see who will benefit and who will become the host. This Oba had better just shut the fuck up!

Pls somebody should educate this illiterate Oba. Simply because Lagos was chosen as the capital of Nigeria doesnt mean that he should boast about it because if Enugu was chosen as the capital of Nigeria, it would have been more developed than Lagos. It is like hausas claiming that yorubas are benefiting from Abuja simply because Abuja is now the capital of Nigeria. Naturally, any state that is made the capital of Nigeria will definately develop fast because foreigners will troop in and other tribes will troop in too to develop it. Pls someone should teach this Oba how to talk

Anonymous said...

I hate to say this but I think I should.
Until Nigeria realizes that any child born in any state is from that state and should be addressed as being from that state there will never be peace. If I had kids in the us they are from the US not Nigeria and the same should apply to lagos, onitsha Abuja where ever. They can't claim a piece of land because their ancestors came there 500 years ago. On the long run many will live in lagos and have kids there and die there and be buried there and you say that those kids are not from lagos. Get it in to your skull, they owe you nothing. You came first and they came after and they have the right also.

Ps. If Nigeria is a Democracy why then should traditional rulers have any power. The queen of England is queen in name only and her words are metered. The Oba has spoken enough gibberish to encourage ethnic cleansing. Let us look at history. Hitters cleansing of the Jewish started with words first. He should be called to order.

You really need to stfu if u dont know ur history. Lagos developed fast bcos of its ports & seas which attracted yorubas from neigbouring villages & pple all over d country. Its always bn a successful fishing area. The capital of Nigeria was calabar. The colonials only moved it to lagos cos it was naturally economically successful & very social.

And for your information ibadan was more developed than lagos before independence bcos it was d capital of d west & got everything first - radio, tv, uni. The structures, buildings & bridges dt were built in lagos b4 d oil boom in the 80's were built wt cocoa money hope u know dt - they even named a building after it. The only thing built wt oil money was 3rd mainland bridge.

You dont move to a place where u met pple being successful, carry all ur family members there to enjoy d success & claim u made d place what it is. Abuja is artificial. Lagos was organic. Ibos need to sit their convoluted asses down. No other tribe calls lagos no mans land. And u have not even bn living here (generations) as long as hausas, ijaws & benis.

Anonymous said...

I see dt in all this u didnt mention anything d south east produces. lol. Dont think Nigeria will divide into 3 dear & then igbos get to control d urhobos, itsekiris & benis. We will probably divide into 4 or 5.

Really wouldnt mind dt happening. I hope it happens peacefully. Might be better for d country. Maybe d SW leaders will go bk to actually 'working' d way they did in d old western region instead of all this getting power to chop money theyre currently doing.

Anonymous said...

Nobody mentioned anything abt this until igbos started dissing yorubas in response to oba akiolus igbo sttmnts.

Yorubas never even saw anything special abt themselves or lagos for dt matter. U guys started it. U shld have confined ur dissings to d obas person & not d land or yoruba pple.

Anonymous said...

I never thought id ever say this. Im yoruba & d thot never crossed my mind but i think Nigeria just needs to divide. We never saw ourselves as one from amalgamation to independence. We have very distinct & strong cultures we all still abide by. And dt is why there can never ever be state of birth in place of state of origin. It doesnt exist in european countries too cos they are in their natural state. Only exists in artificial immigrant countries like USA, Canada & Australia where as long as ur born there ur automatically a citizen.

I think its time to kill d charades, take a referendum vote & go our seperate ways d way God intended.

For your information Mr Oba, Lagos is no man's land. Go and wake up your ancestors from the grave and ask them how they came to Lagos and settled in Lagos. All Lands in this world are owned by God Almighty himself. The fact that you came first to settle in the Land doesn't make it your Land. The fact that i come second after you to settle in the Land doesn't give you the right to treat me as a non-indigin. So watch your words if you don't want a war to start in this country

I am a so called "fully born and bred Lagosian" whose name will be traced back at least 5 generations. I however am thoroughly embarrassed and ashamed of this our Oba who has lowered himself into the domain of bigotry, tribalism and has disrespected that revered throne again and again and again..... Ad nauseum. He really needs now to zip his lips. He needs to be given some serious work to do by Lagos State Government as he obviously whiles the day away with so much time on his hands. The devil truly finds work for idle hands. Does he not have advisers? Family? Grown children?
My sister is married to an Onitsha man, lives there with her family and has reported nothing but love, warmth and frienship from her new home. New, as in 10 years.
We are becoming a laughing stock O!!!!
Please let us hide our shame. The only "respect'" any outsider which includes expatriates etc owe their new host country, is to always operate within the law of that Land. No Nigerian living in Lagos State is an outsider. Unless the constitution is changed to reflect that. We are all brothers and sisters. In 1914, for whatever reason, God allowed us to be all joined together. It was not an accident. Nothing happens by accident. Who are we to know His grand plan for us over the next 50 or 100 or even 200 years?? We should all grow up!!! Everyone will find a neighbour to hate if they look hard enough!!! Even the Ijebu's, they have a saying, if you see a snake and an Ijebu, kill the Ijebu and leave the snake. Its really horrific that we have so much hate and wicked heart towards each other. It has to end. Really.

How can the Ibos control the Urhobos, Benins and Itsekiris. The Benin people are very proud people. They will never allow it. Of course every we will divide to up to 10 sef not just 4 to 5 because some states produce more than some state. In this modern time when everybody is wiser and educated, nobody will agree to be colonised again. Let all tribes go their individual seperate ways. Funny enough, the minority tribes produce stuffs more than the majority tribes like the yorubas and they boast more than the minority that even produce crude oil which is the major source of Nigeria's wealth. This Oba should be very careful how he talks

Thank God I never had a need to live in that their so called Lagos, until the good lord settled me in a better place, lone star state in the US. I can't imagine my self been reminded every day that I'm a non indigene,tell me who to vote, and tell me to always respect them(host community)when I'm a law abiding citizen going about my business.It only happens in Nigeria. Here in the US, there are certain things you vomit with your mouth, they sue your ass for verbal abuse or racial slur or sexist statement, people don't just open their mouth anyhow to anybody, not even to a foreigner. I guess the problem is that this position of Oba, Igwe, Emir etc, is an idle position and is not relevant any more, if government can scrap out these positions or better still apportion duties that will keep them busy and occupied so that the talkative among them can get busy that will do us good.

Shut the fuck up. What is port and sea. Dont we have port and sea in Warri and Portharcourt too? Doesnt Portharcourt also have bridges? The white men played a major role in the development of these cities including Lagos. Truth be told. So stop claiming the success alone. I still stand my grounds that it is not only the yorubas that developed Lagos. Afterall, we also have good fishes in Benin, Warri, Calabar and Portharcourt. Lagos produces nothing compared to other minority tribes that produce the major source of income in Nigeria which is crude oil. So your foolish Oba should shut up if he doesnt want Nigeria to divide and Lagos will be left with nothing

Anonymous said...

What is this idiot saying. Is fish a trophy or an award? Who doesnt produce fish? Was it only Lagos people that lived in Lagos before the oil boom? You are so senseless to think like your Oba. I am yet to see a smart yoruba person. You are saying they pack their families to live in Lagos. Are they are their families folding their hand when they are in Lagos. Are they not doing business and developing the place. Go to the dictionary and find out the meaning of development. Then sit down and really think on whether it is only the yorubas that developed Lagos. I know the Capital was Calabar before Lagos but the Capital of Nigeria was Lagos for a longer time than when it was Calabar or Ibadan. Read what i said properly. I said it was Lagos for a long time, hence the development. Even if u make Ekiti State Capital of Nigeria today, it will also develop even more than Lagos because every company will want to have their headoffice in Ekiti and foreigners will want to live there. Do u now get my point???????

Judging by the comments of practicall all the Igbos on this blog, the Oba was indeed right that Ibos should respect the land of their hosts.

You ungrateful thieves need to pack your ghana must go and go and stay in your wretched piece of land you call Igbo Land. A useless, lifeless place that brings forth nothing but a big fat ZERO. If your land was so good and you idiots are so enterprising why do you lot not stay back in your hell hole and develop it. Bloody parasites is what you ingrates are. Just like parasite, you leach and suck off the blood off the host and then act like Kings.

No wonder Indonesia is executing you Igbos like the rats you are. South Africa is the same. Everywhere you bastards go, you MUST destroy and disrespect, defecate and leech on that land. Blood Ungrateful Parasites with your shitty land! Go back to your Ibo Land!

The Nigerian state does not exist. All you people attacking the Oba and saying Lagos is a no mans land, how many of you don't travel home for Christmas or you are not planning to build a house in your village! You build houses to rent etc. Someone mentioned US earlier, do you know if you go to university outside your state your tuition is the same as international student? why are we deceiving ourselves? we are not the same the earlier we realize this the better for us as a nation. This outgoing government has sown the seed of ethnic hatred in our hearts more than ever before! Like someone said, I loved ibo people but now I cant stand them, the same thing goes with me. they are full of hate and most ungrateful people you can ever meet!
This is Yoruba land you better accept it. C of Os will be converted to lease. just watch out.

Can someone advise this individual to shut his mouth if he does not have any thing reasonable to contribute?

This idiot yoruba is still talking here. Who started the hate and tribalism? Is it not the yorubas? How can one stupid oba be going against non-indigenes when yoruba people are littered all over Nigeria and marrying different tribes up and down. As someone said, the major source of Nigeria's wealth which is crude oil is not from Lagos. If Nigeria divides, it is Lagos that will suffer because they produce nothing. So tell your fucking Oba to shut up his dirty mouth!

Just hear this stupid senseless fool talking rubbish. Capitalise on C of O and be owning land there. People are wiser and relocating and building houses in Abuja which is the real capital of Nigeria. Development in Lagos will soon stop gradually because people are moving to Abuja. All headoffices in Lagos will soon be mandated to move to Abuja. Just watch out. Crude oil is not even from Lagos. When Nigeria divides, lets see who will suffer. Lagos will continue to see its fish and swim in the seas and chop their C of O. Hahahahahahahahah
