tigger56: I used to be a nationalist,but now I am a compound yoruba tribalist and I and my people will not rest untill we have a yoruba nation or region where we make our rules, decides who stays on our land and determine our economic destiny!!!!!

Madam Patience and GEJ are elected to a position that they will occupy from 8 to (in case of predecessor's death) 12 years at the most.


The Oba ascends a throne and is there for the rest of his life.

I am no Tribalist.

Do not insult my Oba. And we won't incinerate Nairaland.

Deal? <Shake on it>

This is why the FG decided to move to Abuja

Lagos seems to be mentally declining back to stone age era.It is time the federal thieving govt intervenes and put a stop to the rise of institutional tribal bigotry.

Finally! Here it is. Market closures are usually ordered by the market associations, but here is the statement from the Iga (Palace).

[size=14pt]OBA OF LAGOS OPTS FOR LOW-KEY BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION AS HE TURNS 70[/size]

Posted on October 25, 2013 by Encomium.

Urges admirers, associates, friends to direct proposed fund for advertorials to charity.

As he turns 70 years on October 29, the Oba of Lagos, His Royal Majesty, Oba Riliwanu Babatunde Akiolu 1, has appealed to all those wishing to place advertorials for him, either in the print or electronic media, to forego such plans saying the current atmosphere in the country does not warrant any form of merriment.

In a statement from the Palace signed by his media aides, Tokunbo Mumuni-Eshilokun and Kunle Odufuwa, His Royal Majesty advised such admirers, including individual, corporate and multi-national organizations, to direct funds meant for such advertorials to charity and instead join him in prayers for the peace, stability and unity of the country on that day.

[b]Noting that a good number of individuals, corporate and multinational organizations have actually set in motion various programmes and activities to celebrate the occasion, the statement said much as the Oba appreciates such outpouring of goodwill, he would advise the people to cancel the programmes.

According to the statement, “His Royal Majesty has, accordingly appealed to those who have elected to honour him on his 70th Birthday to direct such funds to the Iga Idunganran Primary Health Care Centre and accordingly contact the Medical Director of the Iga Idunganran Primary Health Care Centre in order to obtain the list of needed drugs and equipment for the furnishing of the hospital”.

While expressing the appreciation of “His Royal Majesty to all donors to the Lagos Monarch Projects Funds which includes Ilupeju Town Hall and Anikantamo Town Hall and Health Centre”, the statement, however, noted that the Iga Idunganran Primary Health Care Centre “which has since been put into public use”, still needs quite a number of equipment to bring it to international standard.

The statement also disclosed that N250 million has been collected so far for the Ilupeju Town Hall and Anikantamo Town Hall and Health Centre projects adding that the amount has since been deposited “in a special project account while the total some required is N650 million”.

On the programmes and events lined up by the Royal Palace to celebrate the occasion, the statement said the event would kick off on Saturday, October 26, with the special cleaning of the Palace and its environs which will end on Sunday, October 27. It enjoined all residents to join in the exercise.

On Monday, October 29, according to the statement, there would be a Muslim prayer between the hours of 8 a.m. and 10 a.m. in the Palace followed by the installation of the new Iyaloja General of Nigeria, Mrs. Folashade Tinubu-Ojo by His Royal Majesty who would be assisted by members of the Lagos Council of Obas and Chiefs “in line with the customs of Lagos State as Oba Dosunmu, who reigned from 1853 to 1885, installed Kosoko as the first Oloja of Lagos”.

The event would be followed by the presentation of the new Olori-Ebi/Overall head of the Bashua Chieftaincy Family in the person of Chief Musiliu Adisa Bashua (SAN) while light refreshment would be served to guests thereafter between 2 p.m. and 6 p.m., according to the statement.[/b]

Meanwhile, the International Lions Club will, in appreciation of His Royal Majesty’s Birthday, embark on free health screening and public enlightenment on preventable diseases such as cholera and measles, among others, at the Iga Idunganran Primary Health Care Centre for all Lagos residents, from November 1 to 6, 2013, the statement said.

Now, remember that PM News says that it has not been able to confirm from the Palace if the story is true.

What rules? The ones that keep you from using your brain?

The one that stopped you from developing your gully erosion ravaged land.

redsun: Lagos seems to be mentally declining back to stone age era.It is time the federal thieving govt intervenes and put a stop to the rise of institutional tribal bigotry.

Dont worry, when this country is properly dissected, they can close shipping lanes and ports in the SW to worship mammy water.

Justeenaleo: O God of Nigeria...pls dnt let our education be a waste.....let dis illiteracy manifest only on nairaland....see Hw dey r tearing demselves apart...one naija weda d devil likes it or not

Religion and tribalism is what makes NL ticks..its been on here long long time ...frankly I dnt think it will stop..jobless nitwits won't let it stop...don't let t bother u..u will get used to it

This is compulsory public holiday for traders, God is in control

myads890:

Lol. When Lagos start demolishing illegal shops where will your iya amala sell her food? Oh, I forgot Yorubas are used to hawking. Never mind. As far as deportation of destitues and criminals go, that's a welcome development as all the illeterate Yoruba youths standing at every bus stop for N50 from hard working drivers and conductors will be put out of business. By the way, who is going to rent the shops when ibos are gone? Yorubas who are used to sharing one toliet and can't even afford to bath? Hahahaha

It's very easy to decode that you live in the village....your understanding of Lagos and it's people is handed down to you by some family members that lives here....

Your reason and understanding of Lagos is profoundly shallow and weird at the same time..no need schooling you.

k'nash:
someone like u will never grow out of stupidity... useless foo..l

so are u the useful smarty?

If GEJ had done this (close markets), what will you say?

If your response will be the same, then congrats you aren't a hypocrite.


Note: this goes to everyone for or against GEJ

lakhadimar: Then go back to onitsha where your market wont be closed

response of life!
