Pat Utomi, respected Nigerian scholar and businessman has said that the statement (which currently has gone viral) was a joke. He tweets that the Oba actually says worse to him and that's just the way he jokes. What do you think?

I think it is an expensive joke

LAGOS- BELONGS TO THE YOURBA'S

ABUJA- BELONGS TO THE GWARRI'S

IGBO SHOULD BE VERY CAREFUL WITH THEIR STATEMENTS.

IF THEY TRY THE NONSENSE THEY ARE DOING IN LAGOS, THEY WILL BE ROASTED. grin

Hmm....

Joke ke!?. Our Eastern friends won't take that as joke, biko. This oba Akiolu self, his palava too much

.

damage control. ...coming too late

Pat Utomi trying to defend this old fool, Pat Utomi is himself a fool.

Double post

" He tweets that the Oba actually says worse to him and that's just the way he jokes." if so the Oba sud ask the likes of Bovi, basket mouth, Aporo
where to joke,
when to joke,
and wat to joke on.

A joke? No wonder the Igbo chiefs where laughing.

They must have been used to his crude way of jesting and not taken him seriously. I hope he's learnt his lesson on how not to joke.

Also shame on PDP for immediately latching on and politicizing the issue. To garner votes, they didn't care whether Lagos burned

That's the annoying thing. The Ndigbos are being used to settle political scores. The Ezes are already used to the Oba's way of talking, hence their calm response.

Utomi must be joking to say Akinolu is joking with that expensive joke
