Olu Jacobs has acted several yoruba movies, besides he neva hides his identity- The 'Olu' is always there..I neva knew he's also 'Olusola' until now unlike d others that got famous in Igbo dominated industry despite their names, d likes of Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde, Bimbo Akintola, Ayo Adesanya, Joke Silva etc... berem: Olu Jacobs is a yoruba man and acts Igbo films. I have never heard him speak yoruba not to talk of acting yoruba films. So do you classify him alongside Desmond Elliot who is half yoruba and half Igbo? |

Asoozy: What makes him more Igbo then? Is it because he gets along and works with Igbos? Because he has not taken Igbos as an enemy? Because he does not have 100 Yoruba heritage? I guess Olu Jacobs would also be accused in the same way, even though we all know he is Yoruba. Its time Nigerians stopped being childish. If it was about his involvement or track record, I would understand. But just because he is half Igbo?? Seriously? Seriously this is 2014 and we need to start thinking beyond tribe. Desmond knows this mentality persists, that is why he is not contesting under the name Desmond Elliot. The same with Goodluck, he added the Ebele due to the tribalistic minds of voters. This is not different and by the responses here, his assssment was accurate, even with a so called "cosmopolitan" city like Lagos. Meanwhile, people of Nigerian heritage are into politics and are members of parliament in far off UK and Europe. Shame, shame ,shame. 14 Likes 2 Shares |

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.This your comment need to be posted on a huge billboard ....and you sef need to run for office with this kind in your face take no prisoners dagger in the heart speech. But then again....you would have to dress like Labaja to make the voters see sense and not tribe. 1000 likes for you. 6 Likes |

Collynzo17: These are the same hypocrites that castigate Igbos for not ''supporting'' Rochas, the same people that Lable Nollywood an Igbo industry when it suits them and a Nigerian industry when it suits them, talking from boths sides of the mouth must be a virtue in their culture.@Embolden, if he's in PDP, the kind of hate from his brothers would've crashed NL's server.

So, if these people can get famous in an Igbo dominated industry, why can't Desmond be voted for in Lagos politics, without being viewed suspiciously? The actors you mentioned did not have to hide or give themselves an Igbo name, neither did Desmond have to. Its time for Lagos to show a good example to the rest of Nigeria, when it comes to tribal sentiments in Nigeria. 6 Likes |

Asoozy: Nigerians and tribal sentiments i just don't get. what you should be concerned about is what are his plans to better the life of the masses not whether he has embraced his igbo or yoruba side. He is contesting that means he is qualified,what you should do is compare him to others who are contesting,their plans and all and pick the better candidate and stop arguing about what does not matter. would you rather have someone who is a yoruba tout? I'm not saying he is the best candidate and i'm just saying there are more important things to consider than arguing if he embraced his igbo or yoruba side. Our country will never move forward if we don't keep our tribal sentiments aside. 6 Likes |

Nigeria is a nation of many nations. We won't elect an outsider (as president or whatever) because we've bn having bad leaders. We'll rather find a way of electing better ones among us instead of putting ourselves under a colonial leader again. As for Desmond, if he's truly a Lagosian and INEC clears him, then no cause for story, let voters decided his fate. #my opinion 1 Like |
