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.
TAKE 2 BOTTLES FOR MY HEAD .
APC PROPAGANDA FROM PIT OF HELL.
BUHARI any war against Boko haram is a war against the north. but if nothing is done gej is wicked or clueless.

OBA WE ARE WAITING FOR MORE OF THE THREAT.

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.
am not supporting the Oba's utterance but what i deduced was the conniving of the igbos to vote against the ruling party in the state. What Lagos has allowed them to do is beyond what any other states has done for them. Is just like biting off the hand that fed you.

Why then was President GEJ crucified for 4years for saying, "stealing is not corruption"
Re: Oby Ezekwesili & Joke Silva Divided Over Oba Of Lagos Igbo Threats by Nobody: 12:05am On Apr 08, 2015
You People should just 4get this issue. When Ambode wins or loses, anyone who wants to jump into d lagoons.

As far as I know, this Oba was dining with Jona some weeks ago and praying for him. It could be sabotage on his part or trying so hard to impress the APC govt who perceived him as leaning slightly towards Jona for the presidential election.

Before you crucify me,my wife is Ibo and I can protect her and my kids with my life. But let's be truthful, ibos are understandably more touchy when you raise issue about their tribe due to exPerience and stories handed down.

All I am saying is let's forget this and forge ahead, even an Ibo boy became governor for a day in this lagos- under apc.

Most saying Jonathan lost because of his wife's hate speeches actually voted for Jonathan, now the same people want to turn against an innocent man because a 'perceived' supporter said some things. Abeg, don't let bode george and obanikoro feast on lagos oo. We will all suffer it, both ibos and yoruba. See d effect of thugs in power in ekiti.

Nobody can throw you people into d lagoon. We will stand and defend you. Okay, but please let's not cut the head to spite the nose.

What type of TRIBALISM IS THIS
You defend your territory they call you a tribalist.

You support them for elective posts in your territory you are still a tribalist.

They call your land a No man's land Yet we are still the tribalist.

They abused our elders we are still the tribalist.

You lease them your house and they will tell you to sale the whole building for them, we are still a tribalist.

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.

everyone is individually responsible for his/her acton,
I think Apc have made that clear by disassociating
themselves from that statement. although, some
yoruba are livid over the way Igbos in lagos
tribalistically blinded by voting for PGEJ, or we can't
denied that their massive voting for him is not based
on tribe preference when most Nigerians voted
politically oriented by evaluating his tenure for the
past 6years and his party 16years maintaining power.
the Oba only went too far and is liable to be sue
under the constitution without no privileges. and
igbos should not be delusional that Lagos is a
universal state, if their are not careful, they will be
flush out from south west as most of them from
personal encounter are ethnic and tribalistic
unrepentance because they always preferred their
kings men eventhough it go against the national
interest, this quality of theirs threaten other co-
habiting tribes, ethnics in itself.

The Oba really messed up with that statement, If Igbo's where there clapping, is it not glaring that they were clapping to save their lives. The Oba is also a diabolic man, and no one wants to incur the wrath of the oba. Please lets call a spade a spade.

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?

Let's assume d igbos there applauded him (which I doubt because the sound of clap I heard proves its only but a few who clapped, maybe his aides), the question is, does Joke expect the Igbos present there to stand up and challenge him immediately?

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.
And y is he angry at the igbos, dont they ve d right to vote whoever they dame wel please? mtcheeeew

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.
is it the Igbos that would make him loose? You correct so?

u should b ashamed of urself 4 this comment, instead of demanding the oba makes a public apology 2 d igbos u are spewing this nonsense. & FYI Ambode CAN'T win without d igbos. So try 2 control d damage the Oba has created instead of making it worse.

You are digging further into a hole.
They have not bitten any hand. Politics is about protecting interests. All they have done is use their votes to protect theirs.
It happens everywhere. Lagos is doing something seemingly unique on account of its size and economic position in the scheme of things. Not because of the benevolence of its indigenes. Every mega city is same; from new York to joburg to London.

Something I know about the Igbos is that due to certain conditions that might be presiding at a said time, they will take anything thrown at them with smiles in their faces, from insults, embarrassments, to threats.

Don't be deceived by the countenance of an Igbo man in the face of challenge.

you've diverted from my point. Everybody has the right to vote for whoever they wish to but not as indigenes. Is just like you are squatting with a person and you decided to act against the interest of the folk. Do you expect him to be happy with you? Individual preference is fine but collective gang up isnt too well.

Democracy might have been around without any interruption for the past 16 years but many Nigerians still need to be re-oriented. It's a choice. ..I did not support the Oba's threat. We know Igbos don't know their place that's why history is not always on their side. They voted for GEJ out of bitterness and they are on same path again. Lagos has been a good host overall. The Nigeria state is a bit complicated state, and the constitution does not define a lot of things.

Try next time not to allow ethnicity blind your eyes on simple truth. What is wrong is wrong. Simple.

As for the Oba, he just messed up things for Ambrose and on Saturday you guys will release. The Igbos are never cowards you can remote control with treat.
Even those that was thinking of voting Ambrose before will go PDP now and nothing will happen.
