NEVER KNEW JOKE SILVA IS A BIG FOOL. THE ELDERS WERE 'JEJAED' BY AKIOLU'S SILLY COMMENTS AND NOTHING TO DO WITH UNDERSTANING THE CONTEXT! THIS SHOWS THAT WE ARE NOT ONE NIGERIA.

You? Your comments always crack me up. But someone said you shouldn't even go near any gutter,jacuzzi,pool, talk less of lagoon. Everything will soon die down. All I know is Ego and pride will not let him apologise;since others have done it on his behalf,I think you should let it go.

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.
Bunkum !!!
Your Oba just went gangsta to spoil the chances of the Ambode He "hand picked"....and of course no of you know why He "hand picked" him and you're here trying to explain nonsense!

Oba or no Oba. One fact is if Pdp wins Lagos, Lagosians will suffer and the land will be all messed up.

I believe #Ekitigate would be revisited and all those involved would surely be penalized. Obanikoro might lose his job and if that happens, he wld head to Lagos and wine with Agbaje cos GEJ rigged the primaries in favour of Agbaje.
Right beside Jimi will also include Bode George, boyloaf, Koro and PDP in general.

So many undone projects in Lagos cos of opposition party all thru the years. This is the best time to correct that. Take the shot

Vote wisely

Naija, why are like this? How is it the land will be messed up?

When Tinubu started, he didn't have any prior experience of public administration except the one he had with mobil and even then, it was full of discrepancies. Let me tell you a little story:

When Tinubu was at mobil, he managed finance recklessly. Aparently, the igbo man in his cabinet then was with PriceWaterCoopers and came to audit mobil financial records. He audited as asked and saw so much irregularities. Tinubu had to beg him to conceal this financial recklessness at all cost and the guy did helped and that is how he ended up in tinubu's cabinet cos he felt that was the only way he could compensate him. Ben know this and cannot deny.

Anyway, back to APC, So with Fashola. I also recall when Tinubu appointed him to be his chief of staff. That's all the public administration experience has has and then he had nothing except his law knowledge. But today he had the opportunity to talk like someone who birth a state.

As for Ambode, that claimed he had everything, he stole from the governement and lagosians still celebrating him. I tire o. The state allocation that the same OBJ owed lagos, Jonathan paid but rather than informing the governor, he alerted tinubu and what happened to that allocation, only God can explain. Cos of this criminal act, the same fashola booted him out his cabinet and today, they said he resigned, not sacked cos one person they have in common which is tinubu.

Now using apc as an excuse, they want to further the looting and personnal management of state funds.

Nigerians why! Lagosians why!! Why does greed cloud our judgement? Why has shallowness bereaved our thinking? Can't we see that these people are causing more harm than good?

We all saying jimi doesn't have what it requires, so I ask what does it require? Don't forget Buhari is not a certificate holder o but you gave him your presidency, but Jimi is learned and he has handled many managerial positions that some even brought the emergence of Tinubu? So if that Tinubu that you all hailing rose from Jimi's platform which was then Afenifere, why can't Jimi govern lagos State. As for us aligning with the center, as long as Buhari is a man of intergrity as APC claims, then what has Lagos got to loose. What federal presence could feature more than the way the federal has always featured in every other state!!!

Let's not deceive ourselves and keep running in a continuous circle of slavery into the name of continuity.the APC mantra is change and change will bear its name to the fullest.

Change must and will definitely enter Lagos. Let's be bold. Let's look at new initiatives. Those ones being done are not the me and you interest but their peronal interest.

I can assure you Jimi is worth it. He has all it takes and he will give you a Lagos for you.

I doubt you mean your last sentence. All you guys from your side care about is "me me me" "us us us." Not One Nigeria. That's the bitter truth. Deep down inside every Igbo man he hates a yoruba man...I just don't understand the hate. Awolowo is dead and gone and we are more than 40 yrs removed from the civil war, why do we still hate ourselves so much?

Awww, just hear yourself. Deep in my heart, i meant every word i said but you have made up your mind about every Ibo person and that's the real problem.

Re: Oby Ezekwesili & Joke Silva Divided Over Oba Of Lagos Igbo Threats by Beface(m): 8:19pm On Apr 07, 2015
There is justification of what the Oba said but if you listen to him you will understand his context when he said these two words 1)Can they do this in Onitsha or Aba and 2)Jimi Agbaje is my relation and i told him he cannot be the governor for now. He is not happy with the fact that Igbo won three House of Representative and that Agbaje is getting his backing from the Igbo's which according to him is not in the best interest of Lagos because it is time for Lagos to benefit from the federal government and that can only happen if APC win the election in Lagos State.

IGBOS WHEN WILL OUR EYES OPEN? WHEN WILL WE LEARN?

WHAT WILL HAPPEN SO THAT WE WILL RELOCATE AND GO AND DEVELOP SOUTHEAST OUR LEGACY?

AM UNHAPPY EVERYDAY FOR MY FOLLOW IGBOS FOR ABANDONING SOUTHEAST WHERE GOD PLACED US AND WANTS US TO DEVELOP, FOR LANDS WHERE WE WILL BE ALWAYS INSULTED, ATTACKED AND KILLED

THIS KIND OF EMBARRASSING INSULT WILL CONTINUE UNTIL THE IGBOS LEARN LESSON THAT EAST WEST NORTH SOUTH HOME IS THE BEST.

IGBOS PLEASE COME HOME LETS DEVELOP OUR HOME LAND. BECAUSE WE WILL FOREVER BE STRANGERS ELSEWHERE.

THIS IS THE REASON WHY I REFUSES TO SETTLE ANYWHERE OUTSIDE SOUTHEAST.

IGBOS PLEASE COME HOME! LETS BUILD OUR INHERITANCE!!

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.



My dear shut the fuuvck up, if actually we saw ourselves as one, OBA akiola shouldn't have made such comments or statements in the 1st place, if were are one as u said, oba should have addressed everyone including the hausa and niger-delta communities living in lagos, why only IGBO's? Please all these sentiments are the reason why we will never see ourselves as one.

Anyway na old age

You can condemn but abusing Oba is not a good idea... Asked your parent, if you don't know oba of Lagos? you cannot disrespect nor start abusing traditional rulers, whatever they have done or don't..word is enough for the wise oooooo

Are actually comparing the conduct of a street thug like Ifeanyi Ubah and a reverred first class King?
If the Oba cannot ignore money miss roads like Mr. Ubah then something is wrong with his temperament.
I repeat there is no defence for the oba's comments. He needs to apologise by himself and disarm the political jobbers who are scoring cheap points.
I'm sorry to disappoint you but Oba does not apologize for anything in Yoruba land. Let just try to put it behind us.

Why only the Igbos? That's the 1 million dollar question. Because they are arrogant, pompous and provocative. Of all the tribes in Lagos... Only the Ibos were asking for the deputy governor's slot in a foreign land. And also making threat to stage a protest vote.

WTF has the Oba's anger got to do with anyone,Iboes have the right to vote for who ever they like.

The Ibo is just acting like a little man here,doing the dirty job for Tinubu.

Am really amazed @ the way some people are trying hard to play it down using the damage control button.....there are jokes that are better said in ones heart than publicly.....an example was when Gov Adams Oshiomole told the widow to go and die.....that was done in the heat of the moment and if we are in a society that doesn't tolerate things like that,oshiomole won't be coming back as a governor......I think it behoves on us to be very mindful of utterances that we make.....you don't expect everybody to be as "sensible" or as "smart" as you to understand those "expensive" jokes......the APC has disassociated it self from the comment.......the best thing is to appologise......the worst thing to do is exactly what PAT Utomi,Joke Silva and some yorubas who are trying so hard to water the comments down.....its most un becoming.......no tribe in Nigeria that has received much taunting and disrespect like the igbos......we don't know what our comments and actions would lead to,because people form an opinion and ideas from these things.......the igbos just want to be left alone to do their biz and that's it.....so many injustice are still fresh in their minds are u add this Abeg.......its getting too much...

I have always tried never to generalize like I did, but I got angry during the presidential elections.

Guys click on that, that audio shows that there is more to the story. The Igbo leaders who responded after Obas statement even went on to crack jokes with the Oba . One was even saying I will not break my word, next thing they started shooting yes we will vote Ambode.

Does that sound like angry people

so what do you want them to do? challenge the oba in his palace?

the statement is SO WRONG and lets to try to downplay it.

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?

http://www.splendormag.com/2015/04/oby-ezekwesili-joke-silva-divided-over.html

There is no context at all that justifies thatcomment...Its clearly a hate speech and it shouldbe condemned. Imagine if a white man just jokes and calls you a handsomemonkey, will you be bothered about context?

Joke is right.

"Akinolu said whoever works against the interest of Lagos will end up in the lagoon in line with tradition." most important thing is that Ambode and APC leaders have distanced themselves from the threat statement. Do not be distracted still should vote for Ambode who has the love of Lagos at heart.

AMBODE FOR GOVERNOR
