Nice move

Ambode don't give room for Abode.

good...A man who got sense and not some bigotry eeediiiots


thats how to run a govt,,, I will like to see so many yoruba and igbo in buhari's appointment

Nice move,Ambo

That is why south west is the most developed region in Nigeria

That's how it should be. Best man for the job, no matter where he/she comes from. This kind of a man will never abuse or disrespects the Yoruba people he has been working together with for decades. I hope other tribes/states will borrow a leaf from Lagos state/Yoruba people and shun tribalism.

That's a coded msg to GMB

We are detribalised in the SW to a fault.

We gave GEJ a chance....and now GMB.....after all, they all gave MKO a chance ....

Left to the southwest, Nigeria will have developed into one big family....but the secessionist in the North East and South East will not let us have peace.

Op, why are you dividing this country on ethnic lines. What is the big deal you are making out of this. Are we not all one in this country?! Please learn to put sentiments aside and make this country great again.

No big deal since he's qualified. What matters most is his ability to deliver on the job.

No big deal at all! Yoruba occupy similar positions in Rivers and else where
ps: this is the kind of thread where Yorubas display their skills. Ambode employing an Igbo man is nothing special nor does it change anything about the Yorubas. its a normal thing. you guys should get over yourselves.

tell dat to your people not the OP

2019 in his mind

Ambode is a good man

My people right, what is the difference between you and the op. Just by referring to whomever you mean by "your people", you are guilty of dividing this country on ethnic and sentimental lines.

No big deal! The man is a Lagosion, a Yoruba to the core. The fact that he even schooled in Ife means he has lived in Yorubaland since Adam. He is not a recent Yoruba-wannabe Igbo man.

If any Yoruba man wants same in Igboland, he should go and live there and pay taxes there for donkey years.

After all, the first mayor of Enugu was an Igbo man, and in the recent past there have been Yorubas in Govt in Enugu and Abia, and an Edo man in Imo.

No, because Gbajabiamila is an Igbo man. Smelly raccoon.

No mind the loser, for the whole list na only one 1 Yoruba Tinubu was fighting for sef but they will never see that. By the way they must make everything about Tinubu . They see Tinubu in their dreams no big deal abi, whereas one of their Governors sacked even fellow Igbos from another state Igbo states have the least number of foreigners been given positions. Always asking but never ready to give

How can you get a position in a place you do not live? If you want an Igbo position, go and live there and be known by the people there.
Anyways, only in Igboland did that happen: Enugu State

Do you know who is called Festus Adedayo? Do you know which govt he served a few years ago?.......Google is your friend. Use!

Festus did not even live for one day in Igboland, yet he was made a top ranking Igbo state govt official
Show me an Igbo man that was picked from Igboland and given a govt position in Yorubaland

There is nothing wrong with TRIBALISM, what is bad is bigotry. Check your dictionary for the meaning of TRIBALISM

Honestly I just dey watch with pains his actions in the past few days(appointments ish), hopefuly he knows what he's doing.

They say 'technocracy' over 'politics', I agree, but no be only north technocrats dey. There are huge percentage of them in other regions of the Country too(in any field you can think of). I just pray he knows what he's doing.

He knows his brothers will fail at the job. Spare me the detriablized trash. Was it not during the same election that the same yoruba threatened to kill the same igbos if you dont vote for the same apc?

Only if we could see this kind of thing happen in the southeast! At least, kano state governor appointed a yoruba man as his chief of staff or something. What do we have in igboland??

Until i see that happen in ekiti, osun, oyo, ogun, and ondo i wont take U guys serious. Lagos remains a no mans land hence its administration should be all inclusive of all tribes, considering that all tribes contributed to Lagos development.

By the way, Am not decived by Ambode's move, he did it to distract Igbo people's attention from the attrocities he is committing at ladipo..

He is trying hard to disguise as not being an Igbo hater, am sure he know igbos are not foolish and no number of appointments will change what has been done hence we will respond at the right time.

As for the appointment, its no big deal because even the most Igbo hating government in Lagos will not dare sideline lgbos in the administration of lagos because igbos are If not the largest, the second largest ethnic group in Lagos.no wise government can afford to ignore them cos he will need their numerical strenght in times.of election.

Meanwhile Lagos remains a no mans land, indigenous to some yoruba tribes, badagary, ijaw and some slave returnees. Coquered by the british and made a british colony, became Nigeria's capital and now have almost been bought up by the igbos.so igbos are equal stakeholders in Lagos and if e pain you, u can jump into the lagoon...
