Stop wasting your time. The only "non-indigenes" interested in your adventures are fellow Igbos. Most non-indigenes don't have time for this. I'll advise any political party (like PPA..lol...who presented an Igbo woman with a Yoruba middle-name in the last election. I think only her family voted for her..lol) that wants to present an IGBO man not to WASTE their money. It will be a colossal waste!

Get2go: The fact that Igbos make-up greatest number of population of non-indigenous lagosians will never guarantee their being the governor in 2015. It will interest to have an origin of edo, delta, as well as benue, kaduna, ebonyi etc flying the popular candidate flag for LAGOS GOVERNOR. The electorates in lagos will decide!

People cannot come to a internet visited by many and spew crap like this - anonymous site or not -

alj harem:

It was done out of anger my brother

odogwu-x:


Every action has consequences. I am a regular visitor to this site and I know how thick my skin has become however I can't vouch for others. I can however tell you that paranoia and suspicion is growing and so also are the number of guns that paranoid people are buying in this country just in case all these threats are for real

Shollypopz:

Yorubas tolerate crap, walahi I wan create my own boko haram. Kill all Igbos in Lagos state. Na Sholly E. Popz talk am and I approve this message!

alj harem:

LOL How many people would they shot ? My brother I am as relaxed as a snail. I suggest you all buying guns to protect your "properties" to relax. God knows best he would protect us all.

odogwu-x:

Funny you generalize by saying "you all". I am an igbosere boy and more relaxed than you can imagine. People don't arm themselves to protect "properties" as you are saying ( I wonder why you would say that in the first place) they arm themselves to protect life and loved ones.

If you think there are no paranoid peaceloving people out there with the money to defend themselves then you need to look at history properly. My point is the degree of rhetoric flying about is going to influence the way people think. No matter the side of the divide

shymexx:

Fam, the "peaceloving people" are people who aren't suicidal and don't go around looking for trouble... Lagos provides everything everyone needs in Nigeria to thrive, why go beyond that and start aiming for the prize which is reserved exclusively for certain people

T9ksy:


@ bolded..............lol.

If folks ain't buying guns due to Boko haram activities, i seriously doubt if they will be stocking up as a result of some anonymous online threats.

odogwu-x:

I wonder who the people "looking for trouble" are. Beyond the servers of nairaland you would hardly find any non-indigene talking about becoming governor. This site is a place where people come to share ideas and discuss stuff and that's all there is to it.

Lagos is home to many people from diverse ethnicities working and living in peace that never thought about politics so when an irresponsible poster comes online to talk about killing people it turns my stomach and disgusts the hell out of me.

Richfella:

My sweetheart, happy new year. Don't let some random bigoted dudes polarize you - they've done a wonderful job already .

Oya recant those things you just said osiso.

alj harem: @ Afam4eva

Why did you delete and ban Shollypopz ?

I am sure she has every right to express her anger at some of the posters here which you did not ban. That is wrong.

alj harem:

I think Gbawe has now confused issues here. Who among all the posters have segregated anyone because he is Awori or not ?

All the posters indigenes and non- indigenes are saying is that is it possible for a non-Yoruba governor would govern Lagos and I don't think anyone spoke of Awori's right to anything here.

Is it because Mr X might not what Tinubu to keep controlling ACN and Mr X might just want change just as we gave Fashola a chance at it which was very impressive.

Both indigene and non-indigene just don't want another imposed candidate that would be tinubu's puppet. I believe in democracy and advancement of any Nigerian state, Lagos is too big for one man to turn to his personal business.

odogwu-x:


You would astonished at the volume of guns in private hands. Visit jos and go to the home of the average resident and your jaw will drop. Moreover threats like these on this site are not unnoticed especially the way this country is leaning these days

PointB:

Why is it annoying to use Lagos? Is Lagos not a microcosm of Nigeria, judging from its cosmopolitan nature?

The earlier folks like you begin to accept that beyond, Yoruba, other non-indigenes are also stake holders in Lagos, the better for all of us.

@topic,
It is politics, who has the support base should go for it. In a free and fair election, Tinubu imposition of candidate will come crashing like a house of card. Let the game begin!

danjohn:

I have truly come to realize that in politics there are no permanent friends and enemies. I completely agree with PointB on this one. Lagos is a microcosm of Nigeria. If there is any state in Nigeria where a non-indigene can get elected, it would be Lagos. Lagos could set the pace for national integration. Nigeria needs to move away from State of origin and start focusing on state of residence. If a person has made Lagos his home, has children enrolled in Lagos school, owns a business that contributes to the Lagos economy, and is an active member of the community, why shouldn't such a person be given a shot at rising through the ranks of the political ranks in Lagos?

I guess, Lagosians would prefer an Alao Akala to replace Fashola than a Donald Duke to replace Fashola. I am from the South South and for the record, if Fashola met the residency requirement of my state, I wouldnt mind if he became governor of my state. We need to shine our eyes in Nigeria and stop being sentimental. We need good governance and we need it now. If a Hausa man or an Idoma man or an Igbo woman can complete Fashola's vision of making Lagos state a mega city then so be it.

Rubbish.....

We don't need Donald duck and we don't need akala either, we have more than enough skilled and talented Yoruba people to run Yoruba land.

Get2go: We are Lagosians having our investment, families and have spent more than 30 years in Lagos. We ll be more committed to see that our interest and that of Lagos is protected.

danjohn:

If there are so many skilled Yoruba people in Yoruba land, why did Alao Akala and Gbenga Daniels get elected?
