Do you read some of his point at all?,
(The day that the yoruba are allowed to lay claim to exactly the same rights and privilages that the indegenous people in non-yoruba states and zones enjoy and the day they can operate freely and become commissioners and governors in the Niger Delta states, the north, the Middle Belt and the south-east we may reconsider our position.)

I am an Igbo man, and I personally own two properties in Lagos State. I do agree that Lagos State is ancestrally owned by mostly the Binis and Yorubas, but my two properties belong to me regardless of anyone's feelings. Unless people are suggesting that what people have struggled for should be taken from them under the guise of state or regional entitlement, then who owns Lagos State is not very relevant. As long as I am concerned, Lagos State is now Yoruba state, in Nigeria, and according to the laws of the land, I have the right to live on my properties that I have lawfully acquired. Multiply that with the properties that Igbo's have acquired over the years in Lagos State and you begin to see why they are chest stumping. It is probably not very friendly the way they have been going about it, and it may be counter productive to the continued progress of Igbo's in Lagos State... but it is what it is.
