Politics is a game of numbers, my friend. What the constitution says is totally irrelevant. The relevant aspect of the constitution is the clause that says " every Nigerian is eligible to contest elections anywhere in the country as long as he meets the age requirement and minimum educational level. Having said that, you and I know that it is totally foolhardy for an Hausa man to aspire to be the governor of Oyo state or for an Igbo man to aspire to be the governor of Borno state. He simply does not have the numbers on his side.
Lagos on the other hand is a different ball game. The state has a population of close to 20million. All Yoruba's ( immigrants and indigenes alike ) can not be more than 5 or 6 million. Besides, just like Igbos come and goes, Yoruba's come and go too. One my workers recently relocated back to Osun state. I also have someone who lives in Lagos while his wife and children are in Ekiti. Lagos has a very fluid demography. You have no exclusive claim to Lagos. The sooner you deal with it, the better for you. Otherwise, you will suffer a heart attack.

Yea... very funny. When the time comes, they will know how to vote. Even A.boki go know where dey draw broom or umbrella.

You can START with this but you may wish to look up other sources for a BALANCED view of what happened decades ago.

You are indeed a joker. The constitution is irrelevant and also relevant in the same sentence. Wow! your igbotic mentality.

This boring story of Tinubu killing [b]Funsho Williams has died a natural death. [/b]Try something else.

You sef too dey research better expo
Anyway maybe Ijebu get waterside wey reach ONDO state which was his state of origin in 1982

ProfCorruption:


Can you tell us Fasola's home town in Ekiti?

Chinom:


Wow !! that JAMB form. It seems like no real indigenous Lagosian has ever governed Lagos. I was meant to understand that both Tinubu and Fashola are also migrants from the South West. so, if migrants from the SW can govern Lagos, why not migrants from the SE ?.
I don't subscribe to the view that a migrant from Osun or Ekiti has more claims to Lagos than an Igbo, Calabar or Hausa man born and bred in Lagos. I believe the national assembly is looking into the matter right now.

I will voting PDP anyway. no matter who they bring out for Lagos. We need freedom from Tinubu grip. Lagosians cannot breath freely anymore.

orimsamsam:
To all igboti claiming lagos as federal protectorate, continue decieving yourself. My cousin who is currently an NDA cadet, state of origin is ekiti state . But he was born in lagos state. He was givin the certificate of origin of lagos without stress .but his frend uche who wanted to do samething was rejected and asked to go bak to his state

aljharem:
Some people would even go as far as mentioning that Fashola is from Lagos Island !. Lol

Lagos Island has records to know who is and who is not from the town.

They first lied that Bola Tinubu is from Lagos Island, after much debunking, they changed mouth to "He was adopted"

Why lie about your state of origin ?

Why lie just to rule people rather than serve ?

Some are already lying that Solomon is from Ogun state because he is no longer in line with Jagaban

Solomon family house can be traced to Mushin. Please lets trace Fashola, Ambode, Tinubu family houses.

adadadon:
D family house is in mushin yet he is reping Ikorodu now ask him the senatorial seat he is holding and check if Ikorodu falls in it Google Ambode's family house in Epe and stop making fictional claims. Besides GOS was imposed on Lagos not once but three times as Mushin LGA chairman cos of his father and as a Senator by jagaban himself

Any Yoruba man is free to rule anywhere in Yoruba territory. Final and constitutional. Don't like it? Face east of the Niger!

Max24:
Its better for us to vote for someone who has always shown interest in political office rather than an imposter that is being pushed to contest by a godfather who intends to use him for his own agenda.Ambode is just joining politics and so will have to depend not on his own political structure but on that of his godfather. That makes him susceptible to manipulation and control by the godfather. His ultimate loyalty will be to the godfather and not to the people. These godfathers deliberately go for technocrats that have no political structure. The same happened to Fashola. When he attempted to free himself they almost impeached him using the True Face of Lagos, or has people forgotten? Obviously, he ended up conceding to his godfathers demands at the expense of commoners. No wonder Fashola does not know his political future after being a Governor of Lagos for 8years. He was never in control politically. Note, the godfather that nominates the governor fills the legislature with his nominees also. So Ambode will be no match for the hawks that will surround him even if has good intentions. So its better to vote for someone who has always been in politics with his own structure no matter how small the structure is. That way he will be directly responsible and accountable to the people and not to any special benefactor. Am not for any party in particular but for a self-made politician. And there are many of them we can pick from--- Jimi Agbaje(he has always shown interest), Ganiyu Solomon, Leke Pitan, Obanikoro, Supo Shasore,etc.

Ask Fashola himself. He will NEVER claim Lagos as his state of origin

Fashola's father is called baba ekiti before he died so what are you saying

We don't have Fa in Lagos

aljharem:
Ok profcorruption lets say we have Fa in Lagos and Fashola is from Lagos

Please point out the Family tree Raji came from. I can point mine out and so can many others.

Let Fashola point out where Raji (his surname) comes from.

politifact:
point of correction,akin ambode is relying on the structure of the APC in lagos state.secondly,he is more experienced in administration after spending almost 30years in the public service, than mr jimi agbaje who has never been there.thirdly,if tinubu is a god father then what do u call bode thief and ogunlewe who brought jimi agbaje from the DPA few months ago to contest for the governorship ticket,is that not imposition.pls let us be factual in our analysis

politifact:
I don't understand the fuss about this jimi agbaje guy,has he held any public office before?,what track record in public service does he have?what structure does he have on ground?,what structure and popularity does his so called god fathers(bode george and ogunlewe) have?how connected is he to the grass roots?what track record of good governance does his party(pdp)have at the center?,what are his manifestos for lagos except letting okada and danfo drivers continue their recklessness.lagos state will never fall into the hands of a political party that has destroyed nigeria whether GEJ and his tribesmen and cohorts like it or not

Billcakes:
I have said it before and I will say it again,Jimi Agbaje is toooo desperate to become governor of Lagos state that in the past 8 years he has done some very desperate suspicious things.He is more like a desperate political prosti2t,why is he jumping from pillar to post just to become governor,[size=14pt]if he is as good and acceptable as some of you have been making him out to be,then he doesn't need to jump under the UMBLELLA(sorry mama peace),he should trust himself well enough to run on the platform of his former party or even as an independent candidate(even if dat one never start for naija,I had to mention it cos you guys talk about him like he can win an election even without a political party)[/size]
So I ask,please duni04 and co,be kind enough to tell us where and where this Agbaje of a man has worked and the things he did there that make you think he is the best candidate for Lagos governor as I personally don't think that running an obscure chemist somewhere in the remotest part of Apapa is enough to put him on this high pedestal you want to force him on.
Having Bode George as his god father only makes him the more unsuitable
