If you and your family love yourself you will go and refurbish that house your grandparent left you.

This is Lagos and Oba of Lagos has spoken. You horrible ingrate, anuofia will suffer if the Oba is vexed. All your businesses will be easily neutralised because you need license and authority from the traditional rulers. The federal government cannot even save you. Ask your brothers everywhere in Yoruba land.

As for your IJN prayer, in yorubaland Ogun lakaye is greater than your invisible jesus name o! This one pass your mary madgalene jesus power.

Watch your dirty Igbotic mouth. and learn to respect your host. Your bread and butter is here in Yorubaland so respect your survival.

The owners of Lagos have spoken.

smh...seriously how old re u

madam, relieve yourself of your bitterness small, if all the male attentions you've been getting on nairaland for almost half a decade are not enough to make you an unbitter person, then what will?

as per your threats, you'd be wise to shut your gob when you have nothing worthwhile to say. Friendly advice.

Hey, Tpia. Why don't you come back to that thread you keep stalking?

Let's cure your malady once and for all. I have a few minutes to amuse myself at your expense. B!tch.

The palace of the Oba of Lagos, Rilwan Akiolu, has issued a statement, clarifying the Oba’s comments on his alleged threat to Igbos in Lagos to vote the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Akinwunmi Ambode or die in the lagoon.

Below is the statement;

THE PALACE MAKES FURTHER CLARIFICATION ON THE STATEMENT BY THE OBA OF LAGOS. ‎

My attention has been drawn to a publication in a national newspaper where HRM Oba Riliwanu Akinolu was alleged to have threatened Igbos in Lagos to make them vote for Ambode.

Last Sunday, all honorary Eze Ndigbos in Lagos paid a courtesy call to HRM Oba Akinolu. At the meeting the visitors praised the Oba for his fatherly support for and cooperation with Igbos in. Lagos. They assured him of their continued good neighborliness with other tribes in Lagos and support everything that’ll further strengthen that harmony.

Oba Akiolu on his part acknowledged the enviable performance of Governor Fashola and his contribution to the growth of investments in Lagos. He gave the assurance that he is not disturbed or angry with South-East and South- South votes for President Jonathan as perceived by the Eze Ndigbos. The Obas thereafter called on the Igbos chiefs to show appreciation to Lagos State by supporting his candidate Mr. Ambode for continuity of excellence as they have earlier promised.

He assured them of his continued support‎ and assistance where needed and the meeting ended with the traditional breaking of kolas, alligator pepper, and bitter kola and pouring of liberation on the ground. It was within this context that that the tradition of Lagos with regard to the lagoon came up. It was noted that whoever works against the throne and the interest and peaceful co-existence of Lagos would end up in the lagoon as per tradition.

2.Oba Akiolu stated further that the Igbo people have not betrayed the throne. Lagos has also not betrayed the Igbo people. Lagos has done so much to make the Igbos comfortable and to prosper. For this, we expect reciprocal respect and understanding. The Oba of Lagos prays that the Lagoon and the throne will continue to bless and protect all those who reside and visit Lagos.

3. Oba Akiolu is the father of all irrespective of tribe, religion or political persuasion. In Lagos, we have an old traditional proverb that relates to the Lagoon. The Lagoon is unique to Lagos. The proverb stresses the need for unity and understanding when you do business in an environment and in this case when you live and do business in Lagos.

Oba Akiolu prays for peace for the land of Lagos and prosperity for all its inhabitants.

Chief Lateef Aderibigbe Ajose,
Opeluwa of Lagos
April 6, 2015

They have started to twist the statement, people who were present @ the meeting attested to the statement. They know it will not sound well for the party they are now twisting it. For me no1 can threaten me, am a nigerian I have the right to vote, 4 who I wish, n 2 live anywhere in my country. Although I must respect d laws of d community whr I find mysef, but I most not 4get 2 uphold the constitution which supersede all.

And why will Igbo boys stoop low to fight for jimi?
Igbos will vote him then the fight will be between his thugs who are of course yorubas and ambode's touts.
Thou your foolish Oba just proved to Nigerians that the Igbos decide what happens in his land.......
If he is truly in charge,why rant?

Alcatraz001:
We are watching the ibos and all there shenanigans...............m.We told you not to take our gentility for weakness but you refused,hope you are ready for whaats coming?

I hope you have imported area boys from nnewi to help you fight the Agberos? Lagos belongs to Yorubas and it is not a No man's Land as you are fond of saying. Let's see how it goes though....

For every yoruba that is sentimental about other tribes having big influence in lagos, i understand you. But the truth remains lagos must pay the prize other internationl cities paid for being either an economic hub or political capital or both. Lagos enjoyed both for many decades and is still enjoying the economic hub of west africa. its only a mater of time before it becomes the centre of trade and commerce in whole of africa. But it can never aquire such status with reckless statements like this credited to the Oba. Other tribes contributed heavily to what lagos has been over the years. They have so much at stake not to be involved in lagos politics. They have a fair, reasonable right to vote whoever they prefere. In a sane society what the Oba said, if he actually said it, is beneath his exalted office.

Cities like new york, london, paris and several other cities are open to even inter-racial politics and lagos is of the same class as these cities.
When the United Nations was created, a search for a city in the US to serve as headquarters was conducted, a city was chosen. and the city happened to be the city of the Bush family. Being a big and influencial family, they rejected the offer. The reason they gave was that they were not ready to lose their city. They knew having such a mighty office in their city would attract many people into their city and subsequently their influnce will wane.
same is true even for cities that are state capitals in nigeria. The indeginous people lose lands to the government and the city witness large influx of many nonindeginous people. Its a prize most big cities must pay.
In many generations to come, Abuja will witness such.
But the indiginous people remains the chief bride of custody.

People like u shud be d type commenting from d side of our counterpart! Not d ones dat bath in d morning, sag jeans with one earing and loiter d whole streets in d slums wia dey leave while typing and shouting war and genocide from deir cheap fone wia dey've lost touch wit reality!! U spoke well and very unbiased. Yorubas are at fault as well as igbos wen it comes to Lagos.

The victory of General Muhammadu Buhari of the All Progressives Congress over President Goodluck Jonathan of the Peoples Democratic Party was the perfect catalyst for the democratic rebirth of Nigeria. An incumbent was voted out by the people largely for non-performance and the message was clear; mess up and we will vote you out. It was the first true Presidential contest in this democratic dispensation and the world marvelled as this great Country (admittedly, an amalgamation of several nations), once thought to be a failed project, spluttered back to life. A new man was coming into office and he had promised to eradicate (or more realistically, reduce) that most vile of Nigerian vices; corruption. As a Nigerian who means well for this country, you could only harbour positive thoughts for the future. Unfortunately, this new wave of optimism is about to be traded for despair because the two tribes that constitute the brain box of this great country have once again managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory with their constant bickering, the type only rivalled by insufferable housewives in a polygamous home.

On the surface, there really shouldn’t be any cause for such ethnic baiting and chest-beating. Both tribes have made their mark. In sports, the Yorubas have produced Segun Odegbami, Olapade Adeneken, Rashidi Yekini, Segun Toriola and others. The Igbos have produced Adokie Amaisemaka, Davidson Ezenwa, Emmanuel Amuneke, Chioma Ajunwa and a host of others. In Literature, for every Wole Soyinka, there is a Chinua Achebe and for every Ola Rotimi, there is a Christopher Okigbo. In Politics, for every Nnamdi Azikiwe, there is an Obafemi Awolowo and for every Ojukwu, there is an Obasanjo. In that fantasy world of the filthy rich, for every Arthur Eze, there is a Mike Adenuga and for every Emeka Offor, there is a Femi Otedola. In that vocal utopia of political word-smiths, the Igbos can point to Chuba Okadigbo while the Yorubas can point to Bola Ige. Both ethnic groups have shown remarkable resilience in a country largely dominated by the North (which has constantly played these two as pawns or more appropriately like that little girl that has two dolls and bashes them against each other at will).

I sometimes shudder at the potential earth shaking impact that a Yoruba-Igbo alliance would have. That remains a pipe dream however as each ethnic group seems to be more interested in emphasizing the faults of the other. Naturally, the Igbos perceive the Yorubas as lazy, conniving, stealthy, dirty, cowardly and as unrepentant tribalists. The Yorubas, in turn, see the Igbos as selfish, greedy, fraudulent and perhaps a tad bit domineering. The Igbos probably fuel this perception with their ‘in your face’ attitude. There is nothing wrong with that as I consider it to be self-pride. To a highly traditional society like the Yorubas however, where age is respected, an Igbo man is perceived as lacking respect.
The recent election has not helped matters as Buhari’s victory is now attributed to the Southwest while the Southeast is perceived as having miscalculated politically by supporting the incumbent who lost. Nothing could be further from the truth. The Yorubas did not return 1.4 million votes for Buhari and even if it is true that the Igbos supported President Jonathan, are we suggesting that they should go to the political wilderness because of that? Whither democracy and your right to vote for a candidate of your choice?

These are highly unnecessary infractions which if unchecked could plunge the South into another unnecessary blood-letting orgy. I have in the past few days gone through websites and engaged in conversations with friends, acquaintances and colleagues from both sides of the divide and I have marvelled at the unguarded statements coming from supposedly educated people. Make no mistake, we are sitting on a keg of gun powder. When a supposedly educated Igbo man tells you that an Igbo man is superior to every Yoruba man, you simply must worry. When a supposedly educated Yoruba man dismisses all Igbo men as fraudulent cheats, you cannot ignore it. When a Yoruba man, who works in an Igbo dominated environment is regularly baited and finally forced to buy into the Igbo ‘superiority’ and denounces his own tribe, you know there is something sinister in the offing. Ditto for Igbos who work in a Yoruba dominated environment. In fact, the very worst characteristics of these two tribes come to the fore when they are in the majority.

The afore-mentioned examples had greatly disturbed me but by far the last straw was the news that the Oba of Lagos had royally coerced Igbos in Lagos State to vote APC at the forthcoming Gubernatorial Elections. I have not confirmed the authenticity of the report but I am concerned at the cyber heat that it has already generated. Yorubas and Igbos have found another avenue to vent their spleens. Yorubas see themselves as Omo onile and Igbos see Lagos as No man’s land. Whatever the case might be, no one can force anyone to vote for a particular candidate and I really hope the respected Monarch did not make that incendiary statement.

It appears to me as though both tribes do not wish to understand each other. They are unwilling to see beyond their prejudiced perceptions. In Lagos, the Yorubas see the Igbos as invaders while the Igbos see themselves as part of the family. For them, it is too late in the day for the Yorubas to complain. The phrase ‘laches and acquiescence’ comes to mind. The way I see it both tribes need to come to grips with the fact that they have been forcefully joined together. They must therefore learn to live together and get rid of some of these pitiful stereotypes.

In order to peacefully co-exist, particularly in Lagos, I believe Igbos and Yorubas need to imbibe these Rules of Engagement:

For the Yorubas,

1. The Igbos must be commended for their industry. Admit it, you admire them secretly. If you have bought substandard materials from one of them or have been cheated by one, chalk that down to inexperience and perhaps a tad bit of stupidity and move on. Next time, shine your eyes

2. Yes, the Igbo man is aggressive. Live with it. Blame it on the painful integration he has undergone since the Civil War ended. He thrives on competition and will remorselessly incinerate any competitor in his path. If you have an Igbo man directly below you in an organisation, rest assured, he is thinking of ways to edge you out. He is ambitious and cannot stay still. He does not rest on his oars and he is not going to look the other way simply because you are older than him. His mind does not work that way. There! Now you know! If you find yourself on the wrong end of the stick, gird your loins and compete! Quit whining.

3. Igbos are scattered all over the Southwest and they will always dominate certain localities and businesses until you are bold enough to compete. If you have a lot of them in Lagos, try and populate their own states too. Open a bush meat centre in Aba and sell! Better still, stop selling your properties to Igbo people. A lot of your problems are of your own making.

4. The Igbo man does not prostrate and he rarely bows. It is not a slight; it is just the way he is wired. The fact that we love to jam our bellies on the ground does not mean everyone has to like it. Stop frowning your face when he does not.

5. Not all Igbo girls are prostitutes and they are no less chaste than our Yoruba girls. Our girls are just better at ‘coding’. They will nack you and still call you ‘broda’. So please get a grip on yourself. You insult Igbos but go after their tall, light-skinned, beautiful girls and because they are less pretentious, you call them prostitutes? Who is fooling who?

6. Forgive the average Igbo man for always yelling and resorting to his fists when he cannot win an argument with his intellect, it is a hangover from the Civil War. Not all Igbos are like that by the way but it is important that when an argument gets rowdy, you walk away, because you do not have his muscles (ishan). Do not engage, I repeat, do not engage. If e nack you for ground, I no dey o.


7. Try and define who an omo onile is. Does that exclude other Yorubas in Lagos? What about Ekiti, Ondo, Osun, Oyo, Ogun? Why am I asking? They seem to populate the Government in Lagos.

8. How does an Igbo man differ from Lagosians who are from other states?

9. Where were you when Igbos were elected into the House of Reps from Lagos? Were you drinking beer and pepper soup? Were you eating eran igbe and drinking emu? Were you patting your round Amala tummy? You opened the door just a little but that is all an Igbo man needs. Soon an Okechukwu will contest for Governor of Lagos and what’s worse, he might win since we are so accommodating. I am waiting for the day an Olusola, born and bred in Onitsha will arise and say he wants to contest in Anambra. That is the day the Igbos will tell him that Amadioha is not Sango.

10. Finally, do not envy the Igbo man’s success, worry about yourself. You say you defeated him at the Civil War. You say he comes from Onitsha or Aba, with his thick Igbo accent and terrible English and yet he makes more money than you in Lagos! Haba! Something is seriously wrong with you! Some Omo onile you are!

For the Igbos,

1. Yorubas value integrity more than money and they often wonder how money can be a man’s sole motivation. They also abuse people and gossip a lot. The less you say when you are with them the better. So when you beat you chest and brag in that loud voice about the number of containers that you have on the high seas or how much money you have, they are more amused than jealous and you are the news item for that day.

2. Stop saying you developed Lagos. If you did, Aba, Onitsha, Abakaliki and the likes would have been developed too. In fact, try and fix your homeland with your wealth. The rate at which Uchennas and Ifeanyis berth at Lagos every second is scary.

3. Lagos is a Yoruba state. Ask the Dosunmus and Agbajes. You do not insult your host all in a bid to lay claim to his property. If you have a stake in Lagos, then Yorubas have a stake in your oil. Seriously, once again, do not insult your hosts. Yorubas have accommodated you. Appreciate the fact that they have not given you the ‘aboki treatment’. It is this domineering attitude that motivates the unforgiving Northerners to kill Igbos at every opportunity. It is a good thing the Yorubas are not that savage.

4. Try not to be so aggressive all the time. The Civil War ended 45 years ago. No one is coming to get you. Stop poisoning your children’s minds. Let them discover the new Nigeria by themselves. Stop the hate message. That argument can be settled verbally without recourse to Ishan Igbo. No be fight. The fact that your colleague from the office has refused to do business with you and has done so with someone else at a lower rate (obviously) does not make him your enemy.

5. While acquiring wealth, tell your guys to acquire a little education on their way too. All that money and no education... The way many of them butcher English... Yeah, we know Yorubas and their ‘Yoruba English’ but yours is just priceless. This fuels the perception of an igbo man as one who is after money and nothing else. Happily, I have met several educated Igbo people but there is still an overwhelming number of rich but uneducated and unrefined Igbos.

6. Not all Yorubas are dirty or lazy and they like their oily stew. Ororo ati epo. They know you don’t joke with your soup and yes, they go after your ogbono soup but biko, leave them with their oily soup.

7. All that talk about Lagosians starving if you leave Lagos is mere hogwash. Your empty shops and supermarkets will be filled and very quickly too. You are a part of Lagos but you are not indispensable.

8. Not every Yoruba is a jazzman! Some of them are good Christians. They also know a lot of you profess to know God more than anybody else and still engage in all sorts.

9. The Yoruba man secretly admires you. He wonders how an Igbo man can come to Lagos with slippers, a T-Shirt and shorts and 5 years later, he is made. We know you are still astounded at how easy it is to make it in Lagos and how easily your brothers have colonised Alaba Maket and Ladipo Market. Blame the Yoruba man. He too dey fear competition. He thinks his age or seniority will save him.

10. The Yoruba man likes the way you have developed Lagos. Could you please try and develop Yobe or Borno State as well? They are just DYING to be developed.

Know these rules and follow them by heart and get along with your Igbo or Yoruba colleague, friend or acquaintance. I believe conflicts arise when we break them. The Yoruba and Igbo tribes are the thinkers who drive Nigeria forward with their ideas. Unfortunately, this mindless competition for relevance has on several occasions threatened our very existence and is doing so now. It is imperative that these stereotypes and lazy assumptions are eradicated so that these two great tribes can go back to what they do best; thinking for Nigeria.

[quote author=Remarkable post=32393192]

nobody will report anybody... they will use their pVC and show him that after God, power belongs to the people.

this is too bad for the Oba to do, for him to say that I'm not voting for akinwunmi again ......

Montaque:
Ngige lost to a better candidate, I will tell you that categorically. The woman he lost to, Hon. Uche performed better as a HOR member,so she was elevated to the senate. I believe u don't expect us to refuse a better candidate because of having Ngige as SP.
Why the threat from you? I should ask you and HRH (with respect) what issues you have with your brother JK? You accepted that the Oba erred with his choice of words, but u also did what he did, what uncomfortable experience are u talking about?

JK speaks well, but when you see his record and experience you understand he can not do as well as Ambode a man well placed in Lagos politics and management over the last 8-10 years. This is a man who has come up from the grassroots and is on the verge of leading the state.

JK on the other hand was born with a silver spoon and through providence was hand picked by Afenifere God fathers and mentored, yes we can agree he loves his people, state a d has some very interesting ideas , he however is disillusioned , his character does not match that of his association in PDP; look at the people behind JK in Lagos , Obanikoro, Bode George etc

Once he wins the PDP may use him as a tool to disrupt FG policies and Lagos is just too crucial to the country to have such disruption there. Some of his policies are ridiculous he wants to reverse some of development plans set in stone in the state because they are APC ideas.

Lagos stands to gain from an alliance with FG and coalition of efforts not a struggle with it.

APC would win and resoundingly so , but the Igbo may find themselves at the mercy of the APC afterwards.

I am waiting for the day an Olusola, born and bred in Onitsha will arise and say he wants to contest in Anambra. That is the day the Igbos will tell him that Amadioha is not Sango.

10. Finally, do not envy the Igbo man’s success, worry about yourself. You say you defeated him at the Civil War. You say he comes from Onitsha or Aba, with his thick Igbo accent and terrible English and yet he makes more money than you in Lagos! Haba! Something is seriously wrong with you! Some Omo onile you are!

For the Igbos,

1. Yorubas value integrity more than money and they often wonder how money can be a man’s sole motivation. They also abuse people and gossip a lot. The less you say when you are with them the better. So when you beat you chest and brag in that loud voice about the number of containers that you have on the high seas or how much money you have, they are more amused than jealous and you are the news item for that day.

2. Stop saying you developed Lagos. If you did, Aba, Onitsha, Abakaliki and the likes would have been developed too. In fact, try and fix your homeland with your wealth. The rate at which Uchennas and Ifeanyis berth at Lagos every second is scary.

3. Lagos is a Yoruba state. Ask the Dosunmus and Agbajes. You do not insult your host all in a bid to lay claim to his property. If you have a stake in Lagos, then Yorubas have a stake in your oil. Seriously, once again, do not insult your hosts. Yorubas have accommodated you. Appreciate the fact that they have not given you the ‘aboki treatment’. It is this domineering attitude that motivates the unforgiving Northerners to kill Igbos at every opportunity. It is a good thing the Yorubas are not that savage.

4. Try not to be so aggressive all the time. The Civil War ended 45 years ago. No one is coming to get you. Stop poisoning your children’s minds. Let them discover the new Nigeria by themselves. Stop the hate message. That argument can be settled verbally without recourse to Ishan Igbo. No be fight. The fact that your colleague from the office has refused to do business with you and has done so with someone else at a lower rate (obviously) does not make him your enemy.

5. While acquiring wealth, tell your guys to acquire a little education on their way too. All that money and no education... The way many of them butcher English... Yeah, we know Yorubas and their ‘Yoruba English’ but yours is just priceless. This fuels the perception of an igbo man as one who is after money and nothing else. Happily, I have met several educated Igbo people but there is still an overwhelming number of rich but uneducated and unrefined Igbos.

6. Not all Yorubas are dirty or lazy and they like their oily stew. Ororo ati epo. They know you don’t joke with your soup and yes, they go after your ogbono soup but biko, leave them with their oily soup.

7. All that talk about Lagosians starving if you leave Lagos is mere hogwash. Your empty shops and supermarkets will be filled and very quickly too. You are a part of Lagos but you are not indispensable.

8. Not every Yoruba is a jazzman! Some of them are good Christians. They also know a lot of you profess to know God more than anybody else and still engage in all sorts.

9. The Yoruba man secretly admires you. He wonders how an Igbo man can come to Lagos with slippers, a T-Shirt and shorts and 5 years later, he is made. We know you are still astounded at how easy it is to make it in Lagos and how easily your brothers have colonised Alaba Maket and Ladipo Market. Blame the Yoruba man. He too dey fear competition. He thinks his age or seniority will save him.

10. The Yoruba man likes the way you have developed Lagos. Could you please try and develop Yobe or Borno State as well? They are just DYING to be developed.

Know these rules and follow them by heart and get along with your Igbo or Yoruba colleague, friend or acquaintance. I believe conflicts arise when we break them. The Yoruba and Igbo tribes are the thinkers who drive Nigeria forward with their ideas. Unfortunately, this mindless competition for relevance has on several occasions threatened our very existence and is doing so now. It is imperative that these stereotypes and lazy assumptions are eradicated so that these two great tribes can go back to what they do best; thinking for Nigeria.

Just imagine me coming to ur papa mansion to fight u, using una mansion as the arena, during the fights, things are scattered ( the mansion gets burned down) . Abeg who go loose? Me wey carry only injuries or u wey go still carry injury + una mansion getting destroyed? I will fight u, destroy ur mansion,carry injury, and den go back to my own mansion untouched. What do u all think will happen to lagos state and its finances and infrastructures if a 2months serious riots should start? Of course the investors will diversify shapely leaving lagos a deserted land, please I am in no way advocating for those things to happen( I am just saying) igbos are hustlers, they came to lagos with nothing and made billions out of nothing, they can as well leave lagos with nothing and still make billions elsewhere. what I am saying is that anything with advantage has a disadvantage, the question will be, who will suffer it the more? The lagosians whose homes and lands will be destroyed or the igbos who will go empty handed to their homes un-tampered? Let us all be wise with whatever we clamour for.

Don't mind them ..if they want us to burn it down we will do it. The war will be here not east....who will lose ?

Thry should take a cue from us . We have been there done that


Somebody should petition the oba to icc and watch him denounce the dtatement

Yet they said they aren't tribalist?

Igbos always giving them headache.

bukatyne:


I am full bloodied Yoruba however This post makes absolutely. No sense.

There are citizens of Nigeria and have the right to vote who they want since they live here

Let Ibos go back to their villages and let's see If Almighty Lagos will not burn to the ground.

Lagos (Yorubas ) might have the resources, Ibos have the brain and capacity to turn those raw resources to wealth.

Show me another Yoruba state as Lagos.

I am very ashamed of This as a Yoruba person.

Witout bias!!!! Thank God for u.

Febcom:
Oba of Lagos Rilwan Akiolu said all my fellow Igbo Brothers and Sister will die within 7days if they vote against is self-interested candidate Akinwunmi Ambode. My brothers & sister take a stand to vote against this earthly King who had taking it to cause and afflict us all, we are going to Pray against Him
( Esther 2:15 - Now when the time came for Esther to go to the king, she asked for nothing other than what Oba Raliwan (Hegai), the king's eunuch who was in charge of the harem, suggested.

Esther 4:14 - For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance will arise from another place, but you and your father's family will perish. And who knows but that you have come to the royal position for such a time as this.

Esther 6:12 - Since Igbo brothers & Sisters (Mordecai), before whom your downfall has begun, is of Nigerian (Jewish) origin, you cannot stand against him - you will surely come to ruin!

Esther 7:3 - If I have found favor with you, O king, and if it pleases your majesty, grant me my life - this is my petition, and the life of my people - this is my request).

We are the kings Kid, glory be to God that plan he had for the Igbo & Hausa in Lagos, Almighty Father Jesus should Visit Him with Power that makes him see, their his God for the Igbo in Nigeria. I lwrote this in tears, and bleed from deep in my heart, appreciate me with pray for 3days and 3 nights, send to all our brothers and sisters in South East, South South and to every christians in Nigeria. God must surely fight this battle. As for me if I die, let it be know i have won the race, and transform into Glory. God bless Nigeria.

I join my faith with yours

In one breath you claim Alhaji Akiolu's remarks were crude threats sensationalized by the press and the public. In another breath you claim he wants the best for Lagos (whatever that means) and all voters should fall in line or else... What exactly is your point?

There is a gaping contradiction in your post and it needs to be set right. Nigerians (no matter their ethnicity) have the right as free citizens of this Republic to vote for whoever they wish. Those rights are non-negotiable, no matter what anyone thinks. Nigerian voters have the right to choose their leaders without fear of intimidation or coercion by any authority. Why is this matter even up for debate?

As I stated earlier, it is in the interest of the Oba of Lagos to issue a statement to address this matter immediately. Silence is not an option.

Dat guy is pathetic!

Omololu007:
dat is on ibo land.but dis is yoruba land,am very confident agbaje will lose just d way Jonathan lost

Maybe...
But the most importantly a message has been sent,The oba should be very careful with his utterances that may bring more cold wars between the igbos and yorubas in lagos. He should continue eating the proceeds from the revenues he enjoys, and keep his mouth sealed. With all due respect!

sweetgala:


JK speaks well, but when you see his record and experience you understand he can not do as well as Ambode a man well placed in Lagos politics and management over the last 8-10 years. This is a man who has come up from the grassroots and is on the verge of leading the state.

JK on the other hand was born with a silver spoon and through providence was hand picked by Afenifere God fathers and mentored, yes we can agree he loves his people, state a d has some very interesting ideas , he however is disillusioned , his character does not match that of his association in PDP; look at the people behind JK in Lagos , Obanikoro, Bode George etc

Once he wins the PDP may use him as a tool to disrupt FG policies and Lagos is just too crucial to the country to have such disruption there. Some of his policies are ridiculous he wants to reverse some of development plans set in stone in the state because they are APC ideas.

Lagos stands to gain from an alliance with FG and coalition of efforts not a struggle with it.

APC would win and resoundingly so , but the Igbo may find themselves at the mercy of the APC afterwards.

you have judged the candidates well, in your opinion you have a preferred candidate. I won't trouble you about it,nor threaten you,cos its ur right.
That is the beauty of democracy.
But it is unacceptable when someone wants to force his choice on people, a traditional ruler for that matter, that is what we call reprehensible.
It also a shame that people re-echo what he said in support,and they call themselves democrats.
Vote your candidate and leave others to their choice.

Goodnuel:
Ymodulus is this you??

Honestly, I'm so disappointed.

Well, I too had the same reaction when I came across a certain comment of his. He doesn't know that I know him. Which was one of the reasons I was.

hedonistic:


Akiolu is the paramount ruler of Lagos, so we should be decorous in condemning him (even though there is no decorum in his insulting and threatening rant against an entire ethnic group). In fact, you doubt he even uttered the statement (in spite of the audio recording in circulation), he is not an APC member. The APC was 'magnanimius' enough to give the Igbo a commissioner slot.... Bla bla bla.. Shifting the goal post endlessly in a futile bid to justify the unjustifiable.

You are an embarrassment to human kind. Your father should have poured that sperm that conceived you down the toilet. Such a waste of space. Useless animal.

Please post the audio recording of the animal issuing threats
The man is an embarrassment to whatever throne he sits on

Yoruba s na them get mouth pass. .... Oba this politics in a democratic government. ... Play urs and let another play his... .. For all I care this is just an empty threat

customized13:
Yet they said they aren't tribalist?

Igbos always giving them headache.

On one hand Igbo votes won't make any impact yet they issue threats on how we must vote
Why should any intelligent person waste previous time on those whose votes don't count
Confused people

Like I said every lover of democracy in Lagos state for this threat ought to come out en masse and vote against the candidate he said he tabled before a shrine in Mecca.
Let him jump into his Lagoon

christopher123:
[qyuote author=Slym5 post=32417772]The victory of General Muhammadu Buhari of the All Progressives Congress over President Goodluck Jonathan of the Peoples Democratic Party was the perfect catalyst for the democratic rebirth of Nigeria. An incumbent was voted out by the people largely for non-performance and the message was clear; mess up and we will vote you out. It was the first true Presidential contest in this democratic dispensation and the world marvelled as this great Country (admittedly, an amalgamation of several nations), once thought to be a failed project, spluttered back to life. A new man was coming into office and he had promised to eradicate (or more realistically, reduce) that most vile of Nigerian vices; corruption. As a Nigerian who means well for this country, you could only harbour positive thoughts for the future. Unfortunately, this new wave of optimism is about to be traded for despair because the two tribes that constitute the brain box of this great country have once again managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory with their constant bickering, the type only rivalled by insufferable housewives in a polygamous home.

On the surface, there really shouldn’t be any cause for such ethnic baiting and chest-beating. Both tribes have made their mark. In sports, the Yorubas have produced Segun Odegbami, Olapade Adeneken, Rashidi Yekini, Segun Toriola and others. The Igbos have produced Adokie Amaisemaka, Davidson Ezenwa, Emmanuel Amuneke, Chioma Ajunwa and a host of others. In Literature, for every Wole Soyinka, there is a Chinua Achebe and for every Ola Rotimi, there is a Christopher Okigbo. In Politics, for every Nnamdi Azikiwe, there is an Obafemi Awolowo and for every Ojukwu, there is an Obasanjo. In that fantasy world of the filthy rich, for every Arthur Eze, there is a Mike Adenuga and for every Emeka Offor, there is a Femi Otedola. In that vocal utopia of political word-smiths, the Igbos can point to Chuba Okadigbo while the Yorubas can point to Bola Ige. Both ethnic groups have shown remarkable resilience in a country largely dominated by the North (which has constantly played these two as pawns or more appropriately like that little girl that has two dolls and bashes them against each other at will).

I sometimes shudder at the potential earth shaking impact that a Yoruba-Igbo alliance would have. That remains a pipe dream however as each ethnic group seems to be more interested in emphasizing the faults of the other. Naturally, the Igbos perceive the Yorubas as lazy, conniving, stealthy, dirty, cowardly and as unrepentant tribalists. The Yorubas, in turn, see the Igbos as selfish, greedy, fraudulent and perhaps a tad bit domineering. The Igbos probably fuel this perception with their ‘in your face’ attitude. There is nothing wrong with that as I consider it to be self-pride. To a highly traditional society like the Yorubas however, where age is respected, an Igbo man is perceived as lacking respect.
The recent election has not helped matters as Buhari’s victory is now attributed to the Southwest while the Southeast is perceived as having miscalculated politically by supporting the incumbent who lost. Nothing could be further from the truth. The Yorubas did not return 1.4 million votes for Buhari and even if it is true that the Igbos supported President Jonathan, are we suggesting that they should go to the political wilderness because of that? Whither democracy and your right to vote for a candidate of your choice?

These are highly unnecessary infractions which if unchecked could plunge the South into another unnecessary blood-letting orgy. I have in the past few days gone through websites and engaged in conversations with friends, acquaintances and colleagues from both sides of the divide and I have marvelled at the unguarded statements coming from supposedly educated people. Make no mistake, we are sitting on a keg of gun powder. When a supposedly educated Igbo man tells you that an Igbo man is superior to every Yoruba man, you simply must worry. When a supposedly educated Yoruba man dismisses all Igbo men as fraudulent cheats, you cannot ignore it. When a Yoruba man, who works in an Igbo dominated environment is regularly baited and finally forced to buy into the Igbo ‘superiority’ and denounces his own tribe, you know there is something sinister in the offing. Ditto for Igbos who work in a Yoruba dominated environment. In fact, the very worst characteristics of these two tribes come to the fore when they are in the majority.

The afore-mentioned examples had greatly disturbed me but by far the last straw was the news that the Oba of Lagos had royally coerced Igbos in Lagos State to vote APC at the forthcoming Gubernatorial Elections. I have not confirmed the authenticity of the report but I am concerned at the cyber heat that it has already generated. Yorubas and Igbos have found another avenue to vent their spleens. Yorubas see themselves as Omo onile and Igbos see Lagos as No man’s land. Whatever the case might be, no one can force anyone to vote for a particular candidate and I really hope the respected Monarch did not make that incendiary statement.

It appears to me as though both tribes do not wish to understand each other. They are unwilling to see beyond their prejudiced perceptions. In Lagos, the Yorubas see the Igbos as invaders while the Igbos see themselves as part of the family. For them, it is too late in the day for the Yorubas to complain. The phrase ‘laches and acquiescence’ comes to mind. The way I see it both tribes need to come to grips with the fact that they have been forcefully joined together. They must therefore learn to live together and get rid of some of these pitiful stereotypes.

In order to peacefully co-exist, particularly in Lagos, I believe Igbos and Yorubas need to imbibe these Rules of Engagement:

For the Yorubas,

1. The Igbos must be commended for their industry. Admit it, you admire them secretly. If you have bought substandard materials from one of them or have been cheated by one, chalk that down to inexperience and perhaps a tad bit of stupidity and move on. Next time, shine your eyes

2. Yes, the Igbo man is aggressive. Live with it. Blame it on the painful integration he has undergone since the Civil War ended. He thrives on competition and will remorselessly incinerate any competitor in his path. If you have an Igbo man directly below you in an organisation, rest assured, he is thinking of ways to edge you out. He is ambitious and cannot stay still. He does not rest on his oars and he is not going to look the other way simply because you are older than him. His mind does not work that way. There! Now you know! If you find yourself on the wrong end of the stick, gird your loins and compete! Quit whining.

3. Igbos are scattered all over the Southwest and they will always dominate certain localities and businesses until you are bold enough to compete. If you have a lot of them in Lagos, try and populate their own states too. Open a bush meat centre in Aba and sell! Better still, stop selling your properties to Igbo people. A lot of your problems are of your own making.

4. The Igbo man does not prostrate and he rarely bows. It is not a slight; it is just the way he is wired. The fact that we love to jam our bellies on the ground does not mean everyone has to like it. Stop frowning your face when he does not.

5. Not all Igbo girls are prostitutes and they are no less chaste than our Yoruba girls. Our girls are just better at ‘coding’. They will nack you and still call you ‘broda’. So please get a grip on yourself. You insult Igbos but go after their tall, light-skinned, beautiful girls and because they are less pretentious, you call them prostitutes? Who is fooling who?

6. Forgive the average Igbo man for always yelling and resorting to his fists when he cannot win an argument with his intellect, it is a hangover from the Civil War. Not all Igbos are like that by the way but it is important that when an argument gets rowdy, you walk away, because you do not have his muscles (ishan). Do not engage, I repeat, do not engage. If e nack you for ground, I no dey o.


7. Try and define who an omo onile is. Does that exclude other Yorubas in Lagos? What about Ekiti, Ondo, Osun, Oyo, Ogun? Why am I asking? They seem to populate the Government in Lagos.

8. How does an Igbo man differ from Lagosians who are from other states?

9. Where were you when Igbos were elected into the House of Reps from Lagos? Were you drinking beer and pepper soup? Were you eating eran igbe and drinking emu? Were you patting your round Amala tummy? You opened the door just a little but that is all an Igbo man needs. Soon an Okechukwu will contest for Governor of Lagos and what’s worse, he might win since we are so accommodating. I am waiting for the day an Olusola, born and bred in Onitsha will arise and say he wants to contest in Anambra. That is the day the Igbos will tell him that Amadioha is not Sango.

10. Finally, do not envy the Igbo man’s success, worry about yourself. You say you defeated him at the Civil War. You say he comes from Onitsha or Aba, with his thick Igbo accent and terrible English and yet he makes more money than you in Lagos! Haba! Something is seriously wrong with you! Some Omo onile you are!

2. Stop saying you developed Lagos. If you did, Aba, Onitsha, Abakaliki and the likes would have been developed too. In fact, try and fix your homeland with your wealth. The rate at which Uchennas and Ifeanyis berth at Lagos every second is scary.

It is this domineering attitude that motivates the unforgiving Northerners to kill Igbos at every opportunity. It is a good thing the Yorubas are not that savage.

4. Try not to be so aggressive all the time. The Civil War ended 45 years ago. No one is coming to get you. Stop poisoning your children’s minds. Let them discover the new Nigeria by themselves. Stop the hate message. That argument can be settled verbally without recourse to Ishan Igbo. No be fight.

PDP propaganda, this Oba will never make such a statement carelessly.

Information is power...
