Nollywood actor and movie producer, Yul Edochie has asked Nigerians to stop saying that Lagos is a no man’s land that it belongs to the Yorubas.
The father of 5 said it’s disrespectful to say that Yoruba people are tribalistic and not accommodating.
Following the recent fights and clapbacks among igbos and Yorubas on Twitter and Instagram, the actor decided to speak on the situation.
Yul Edochie Wrote
“I’ve lived in Lagos since 2011.
Built my house in Lagos.
Not once have l experienced any form of hate or rejection from the Yorubas.Anytime Yoruba boys see me on the street, they gather togreet me, and it’s all love always.
And this talk flying around that Lagos is a no man’s land is wrong.
Lagos is a Yoruba state in Yoruba land.
Imagine someone saying that Anambra is a no man’s land.That’s crap.
Anambra is an Igbo Land.
You can’t come into someone’s land and tell the person it’s now a no man’s land.
Na you dey find trouble.
Nobody can deny the fact that the lgbos have contributed immensely to the development of Lagos.
Other tribes have contributed in their own ways too.
And the Yorubas have been largely accommodating as well.It shouldn’t take away the fact that Lagos is a Yoruba land.We no dey drag ownership.
Let’s kill tribalism before it kills us.YUL EDOCHIE. “
