Oby Ezekwesili reacted to the audio tape of the Oba of Lagos,threathening Igbo's. She said she was shocked that people were clapping while the Oba spoke..
Respected Nollywood actress,Joke Silva replied her, saying that means the Igbo leaders understood the context. In essence,they knew the OBA didn't mean those words to be taken as threats.

Oby then told her,there is no justification for those statements. What do you think?

Every sane person knows the statement was wrong.You cant come out and cry over the killings done by boko haram and then turn around to support genocide of a particular ethnic group, it simple puts you on the same level with them.

People should stop managing this issue, we should look at it plainly...when PEJ said something about stoning anyone who wanted change, everyone turned against it, even i was angry at her statement...AMBO will surely loose in lagos state

Ambode will win with landslide victory even with or without your votes. The oba made the comment not Ambode, like you said PEJ made stoning statement but PEJ is the wife of GEJ.

Oba and Ambode are two different people not related by blood or marriage.

As for Joke Silva, she said the right thing. If the Ndigbos at the gathering didn't take it serious so what's the wahala all about?

The Oba was just angry at Igbos towards their attitude at the presidential and he's worried cos he want continuity in Lagos and it is only Ambode that can do that.

lovely comment so far

PEJ made a lot of inflammatory statements that effected her husband's re-election bid and her husband was hated for not being able to caution his wife. I think this election will be very difficult for Ambo because the Oba has just spoilt his election bid.

you all are taking paracetamol over someone else headache. cant this story just die down and Nigerians live as one?

This is a very silly comment oga blogger. I have loads of respect for you but this is poo. Was he angry with them because they voted according to their beliefs? Is he their father or their conscience that he should dictate how they should vote? The beauty of democracy is in the freedom of choosing your leaders. Democracy is a game of numbers not a game of intimidation and bitterness. If GEJ was like him this country would have been burnt down.
If God almighty who has all the power in the universe does not force us to do what he wants then nobody including a power drunk mortal should not even attempt it.

But seriously Joke's comment got me thinking. They were igbos there when he made the statement and they applauded......what does that mean?
Are we not blowing it out of proportion?

i heard the claps...but they were coming from the front, where the oba was standing. those were his aides clapping. if you noticed, the claps were brief and short. those amount of people cant be sat and you get the feeling oly about 3 persons clapped!! how can i clap in a meeting where my death is being discussed??

lovely comment? instigating people to murder is now a lovely comment?? even the emirs i the north ever said such about ibos...even if they did, not openly. we should not also forget that there were people who tried to rationalize that maniac hitler...

Larrey:

Buhari will retire this women to their husbands kitchen. just a few more days before they are reminded were they belong in a muslim world

I am sick and tired of ds Oba Akiolu issue, if u don't like Ambode then vote Agbaje or anyone else but as for me i am voting Ambode as the next governor of Lagos state

Nice omment.

There is simply no reason that is weighty enough to justify the comments made by the Oba!

Mama Joke should just Lie low and forget she tweeted that stuff, on this one Oby is right!

We wish lagosians all the best as they come out on Saturday to cast their Votes!


God Bless Nigeria

Joke Silva is right.

This is the most over-flogged issue on NL, really.

Hundreds of thousands of Igbos who traveled for Easter are back, that number will tilt the already PDP averaged votes in favor of Agbaje. Jimi is a better Yoruba man than Oba and his army of tribalistic Fashola and crew.

Not a chance.
He will win ( not like I care), but it would take a miracle for Tinubu to lose in his own backyard after his unprecedented achievement at the centre
Ambode will win...by hook or arrow.
Pity.

Spot on. I will urge one of the Igbo leaders in the meeting to come and clarify the situation because I find it difficult to comprehend the applauding after the statement.

Oba Akiolu since yesterday the Oba go get sleepless night

But this Oba lack common sense

Anyway na old age

Oyaa

Chai! see what an Oba has caused now! *grabs mic*...*in JEGA's Voice* Oba please let us be careful of what we say or do so that we do not disrupt a process that has ended peacefully

lgbos will vote JK and take a swim in d lagoon........who doesn't like swimmimg

Oba saga everywhere...........Joke Silva a Joker

Relax ladies

The Oba took it too far. Agreed!

But this wouldn't have generated as much heat if we understood ourselves to be one. Whatever the Oba said wouldn't have been taken seriously no matter the context if we saw ourselves and lived as one.

I remember I used to tell my Daddy things that I dare not tell others for the fear of being misunderstood. I call my friends names I dare not call mere acquaintances and it is seen as nothing.

Unfortunately politicians are going to blow this out of proportion to sway emotions and votes.

True sha

That one no concern me all I know is that APC will win in lagos.
