Femmyfamous4u: I I don't see any Igbo winning any national election that cuts across tribes because of their views to other tribes. .

And has Yoruba tribalism ever gotten them any president of their choice?
Awolowo, Abiola, olu falae?
Are yorubas even catching up with igbos not to talk of being equal to them in Nigeria?

Asoozy: His name don already disqualify him. He better revert back to his Yoruba last name.

Moreso he is half Igbo.

Yeye dey smell so now he remembers his real first name? When he needed to get into nollywood he discarded his Yoruba identity so as to be accepted fully into the ibo industry.

Nonsense and alubosa!

He is not even married to a Yoruba o.

YoursGEJ: All of you that are speculating on his tribe as the most important thing should close your worm-infested mouths and shove your comments up a place where sunlight does not get to. Why can't you ask about his agenda or plans? Forget corruption and bad leadership, I swear the masses constitute a majority of the problem this country is facing. Alright regarding previous occupants of that seat, I can bet that most of you cannot name a single thing that they contributed to the community or a bill they have sponsored in the house. But you'd rather let them continue unchallenged in their position. Why? Because both of their parents are Lagosians. Imagine that your car broke down and what is most important to you is whether the mechanic that is trying to fix it is from your village even though all the previous mechanics who have tried but failed to fix it were all from your village. This politics of tribalism has led Nigeria nowhere especially under this current democratic dispensation. When military regimes used administrators from other parts of the country to rule a state, Nigeria saw more development that indigenous politicians have never been able to replicate be it at the federal, state or local level.

You should all bow your heads in shame and look to change your ways because you are enemies of progress to this country

And by the way, if the constitution says he is eligible to contest for that seat, as can be ascertained by INEC, there is nothing you can do to stop him. So look for the nearest transformer and do this country a favour by doing the needful

They sure have maggots in their brains, wonder how one of these mad tribalists got over 100 likes self, just goes to show why Nigeria has not/cannot progress.

chester47: before competing I hope he has up to 500million naira to start with..politics is not a child's play .or peharps he cant do that..its not about posters but will you be able to pay the money to compete? I know of a man in my stree when i was still in Nigeria,Enugu state actually,He competed for the house of assembly Enugu even had posters but still his name was not in the list.. He couldn't afford 20million to pay sort and give the pdp even the pdp chairman deserves at least 30million naira.even the national chairman for elections or what ever they call it..lol..you think they have this type of money to compete.. well no big deal..people like governors who deal in billions will campaign for senate and 9ice think he is a match for them?with how much at hand..lol.

And this post is from someone who is now living in Europe or America where the people contribute and raise money for their candidates to succeed
Does anyone know how a person can leave Nigeria daft and go abroad to still become clueless shocked
Rather than reflect on how the oyinbo system works and ours does not so as to encourage us to adopt the elements that make their society BETTER you are reiterating the errors here angry So of what value to your own society is your stay abroad Perhaps you are simply content at being a second class citizen there while sending small change home to impress & oppress your relations and friends sey you dey for diaspora not knowing that you are actually a socio-economic EXILE who is on voluntary slavery angry shocked

We Nigerians are bloody HYPOCRITES. We expect a politician to spend huge sums of money to win elections without contributing anything yet we complain of corruption and doing nothing when he gets into office. Are we THIEVES who seek to reap where we have not sown?

Ibos think Yoruba are stupi.d, ibos are trying desperately to pull a fast one over on Yoruba. Desmont can't run for a political office in iboland because he's mixed but, want to run in Lagos

No problem! He should try his luck in the east first, and then maybe in another 20 yrs he can try Lagos, Nigeria is not ripe for this. Any tribe that insist on not taking tribe or where one is from into account must lead by examples and be the first to pick their politicians from amother region.

Let me help most of you here on this thread,all Desmond Elliott needs is the endorsement of Jagagban,to win,his father late Chief Elliott was APC leader in Aguda Surulere,his father friends will surely mobilise for him if he decides to uses that constituency,even the population of non-yorubas in that area will surely be an advantage for him,his father's house is in Idowu Randle,Aguda Surulere.

So you guys should just take a chill pill most likely the guy is going to the house based on his Father's role in APC at that level.

ChristyG: you are a phuckin liar,what da tell Is mis western yoruba?see famzing..omotola Is from ondo while olu Is from ogun
I doubt if Omotola is full blooded Yoruba, Ondo State is very close to Edo State am sure there is a mixture somewhere. Maybe from her Great Grand parents. The truth is bitter, you can insult me for all I care Omotola's beauty is not that of the typical Yoruba woman. The only two Yoruba States where u find beautiful women are Ondo and Ekiti States and these States has some sorts of mixtures with other tribes.

Hey am no bigot ok. Am not interested where Omosexy comes from was just pissed off by ChristyG's comment She was like the person She quoted is famzing. Go and read the history of Ondo State. Its not a big deal where Omosexy comes from,but some people should stop making a big deal out of it. How many Yoruba actresses are as beautiful as Omotola ,even the pretty ones aside Omotola aren't Yorubas. So what does ChristyG mean by famzing? Rubbish.

Keep doing you. all your comments are about whether he is igbo or yoruba,nothing about whether he is actually good and the what he can bring to the table. Shame on you,pple like you are the ones pulling us back to the stone age in this 21st century and you'll be the 1st ones to open your mouth and condemn Nigeria when you have not made any +ve contribution and you won allow others make +ve contribution to it's growth too. Anybody that was born and grew up in a state can contest for a post in that state whether his parents are from there or not. Thankfully u have just 1 vote like everybody else so all dis noise u r making is just pointless.
