Can prove this, the man that doesn't know himself (Onyewe?)? I was in an international conference in OAU, Ile-Ife to mark the retirement of Dr Dipo Fashina, majority of the people that spoke said Yoruba people are the most friendly people in Nigeria. If you to even state-owned universities in Yorubaland, you will see lecturers from other tribes. Igbo people are commissioners in Lagos State. SW is the only part of the country that is safe (no kidnapping). Though Yoruba people are killed in the north, they don't carry reprisals against northers in SW
When making example of Yoruba behaviour, never use Lagos as your yardstick. Lagos is a no man's land, the melting point of everybody. Come back to me the day Osun state will have an Igbo man as commissioner.

until you start reasoning beyond that seed of hatred against the Yoruba planted in you by your leaers who are all almost dead, you will continue to live in that phantom manifest destiny of yours. Blame your current leaders for your woes, not Yoruba. GEJ will be attending the burial of Chinua Achebe; watch it, your five governors will endorse him for 2015. After una go say na una wise pass.

don't mind those guys! Lagos we know as the centre of crimes in Nigeria... I'm not holding it against the city cuz that's inherent to all urban cities of any country! New york and LA records the most crime rate in the USA. But my problem is how these cl0wns say its safer than the SE/SS states.
Try to visit any Gloworld outlet in the SE/SS states, you would think you are in one of those primitive ekiti, osun villager with yoruba language all in the air... Every staff is yoruba except the gatemen and cleaners... The top managers of almost all the big establishment is the same, ranging from Nigerian Breweries to salt industries. Every office must contain a yoruba top official and we've lived with it but once they see a successful SS/SE, they all feel like hanging themselves!

I will vote for the commissioner only if he can attends to this road at Ago Place way, Okota in the shortest possible time.

This portion of road along Ago Palace way, okota is the direct responsibility of the commissioner of works and infrastructure of Lagos state and it needs urgent attention.

The people here are suffering, businesses have closed because of this road.

The flood here never dries, its been like this for some year now.

No drainage, vehicles breakdown regularly,workers, school buses and school children suffer on this route.

You need to fix this road as the commissioner of works before the responsibility of the whole Lagos state is handed to

you.

Perhaps, if you've done a thorough research about the people from Lagos and not continue to dwell in your own stupidity - you would have noticed that most of the people from Lagos are Muslims. A lot of them converted to Christianity, but most still have tons of Muslims in their families.

Yoruba hold top posts because they are educated, not just graduates. The gatemen you said are not Yoruba could also be graduate Igbo like the ESUT four. Certificates are bought in some SE universities. If you doubt me visit any NYSC orientation camp when corps member are around.

Amidst all these tribulations, he is still performing more than any president this country has ever had. Go and check his score card for 2years and compare it with OBJ's 8years and then come back here to confess how you have been deluded all these while.

Obasanjo did not even win a single state in SW. It shows Yorubas are not blinded by ethnic bigotry that has clouded our fellow citizens from SS/SE. Yorubas judge you on your achievement; and not ethnicity or religion. An average Yoruba man knows Obasanjo 8 year rule was a failure.

BRAVO BRAVO BRAVO!

The majority of comments here have shown there is hope for a great Nigeria where leaders will not be chosen by what they look like, where they come from or what they worship.

IN SIMPLE ENGLISH WE NEED LEADERS THAT WILL BE FAIR TO ALL INCLUDING ATHEISTS AND PAGANS
LEADERS THAT WILL GIVE US POWER SUPPLY ALL DAY, ALL THROUGH THE YEAR
LEADERS THAT WILL DRASTICALLY REDUCE CORRUPTION IN THE SYSTEM AND OTHER SOCIAL VICES
WE NEED LEADERS THAT WILL PROTECT OUR LIVES AND PROPERTIES

WE DONT CARE WHERE OUR LEADERS WORSHIP AS LONG AS THEY DELIVER THE GOODS

Olodo! 2009 was just 4 years ago and Yar'adua was in power. In 1999 when olu Falae contested against Obasanjo, the Yorubas voted for Olu Falae because of his records. What about 2003 election? The Yorubas did not vote for Obasanjo either, because his first term was a failure. You don't even have the facts, but you just spewed out a whole bunch of nonsense.

krendo:

you can abuse me all you like but in 2015 the people of Lagos will question why only a certain religion produce the Governors in Lagos. It is a legitimate political question to ask. There is no need being abusive about it.

If Tinubu and Fashola are so open minded and Lagos is so United then they should have a process that allows all no matter there religion to have a chance. It is called equal opportunity.

Fashola was Attorney General to Tinubu, now Hamzat is Works commissioner to Fashola. There is nothing similar about these people in terms of career path. The reason for this pattern is nothing but their religion.

These are the fact!

If Religion does not matter then lets see Fashola and Tinubu back someone from the other side.

There is no need being nepotic and then turn around to accuse others of nepotism when they call you out on it.

Lagos will vote in 2015!
