As an 100% original igbo boy,I totally disagree with the Oba of Lagos even though he has apologised.I got no respect again for him...bt reason along with me- What is the principal interest of the Igbos in Lagos? What do we seek to achieve in our sojourn here? My take is simple. We seek a prosperous Lagos that is economically viable, peaceful....a mini Nigeria of sorts where all people are able to live and pursue their livelihood without let or hinderance. As a people that thrive on commerce, Igbos want a Lagos where there are government policies that promote the growth of commerce and business. A Lagos where government builds roads, bridges, hospitals and is generally alive to their duties. Education is free in Lagos and our children enjoy this. No Igbo child has been sent away from any public school in Lagos. Lagos state government pays WAEC and NECO fees for all students in Lagos....our children enjoy this too. What do we really want in Lagos? The truth is that we are strangers here. Lagos belongs to some people, just like Onitsha and Aba. Let's not carry on as if this place is a no man's land. It is not. All of a sudden, Jimi Agbaje has become an Igboman....we have adopted him as our son.....the same way we adopted President Jonathan in the last election against our strategic interest as a people...a decision that has left us in serious political confusion and our senators begging to be admitted into the APC. What is the difference between Jimi Agbaje and Akinwumi Ambode? Is any of them Igbo? What is our problem? I believe that we have a fair share here. We live in peace unlike our people in the North. I don't think there are more Igbos in Lagos than there are in Kano, yet we live peacefully here. Yorubas are highly politically sophisticated people and they understand that it us better for them to have a government in Lagos that belongs to the same party as the party at the centre. Igbos cannot love Lagos more than Yorubas. This is their land. If anything happens here now, we will all leave and return home. These people own here...this is their home and we must respect their feelings. Every person living in Lagos wants more federal presence in Lagos. We want a 4th mainland bridge, we want so many other things that the federal government can do. In the years past, Lagos hasn't enjoyed much federal intervention because of political party differences. Now they have that chance and we want to spoil it for them by being more catholic than the pope. Let everybody vote any candidate he wants but I reject any collective Igbo move to vote against the strategic interests of the people who own the land where we live and make our living. Lagos has been good to our people. We have succeeded here in business and the professions. Let's not disrespect the people of Lagos. I will not support any move that will create an impression that Igbos are against the interest of the owners of Lagos. Nobody has murdered our people here like what we see in the north. Lagos remains the only state in this country where Igbos hold top government positions. Even our neighbors and brothers, Rivers State have never given us that privilege despite our huge population and presence there. As for me, I want Lagos to progress and on Saturday, I will proudly vote for Akinwumi Ambode. 6 Likes 1 Share |

The statement of Kabiyesi is highly regrettable just, as the stool is highly reverred. I will appeal to all to bury the hatchet and give peace a chance. We should rise above petty tribalism by all means. This further justifies the age-long call for a sovereign national conference where our togethernes will be put in the right perspective. We all have a stake in Nigeria, and together, we are stronger. God bless Nigeria. Vote according to your conscience. For me, #Ihave decided....APC all the way....But that doesn't make you my enemy if you choose PDP...one love! |

Adewunmi84:Wherever the Igbos have a large population, they elect a king who will be the supreme representative of the lgbos in that area. The kingship comes with all the perks of the normal lgbo monarchy- a palace, cabinet, regalia, authority etc. There are lgbo kings in other parts of the country like kano, kaduna etc |

Fellow lagosians,the power of continuity rest in your hands. As you exercise your franchise on saturday,vote Akinwunmi Ambode; the best man for the job.

ayusco85: In other words ,the igbos should sheepishly follow whoever the Oba of lagos follows...why didnt the Oba and other Lagosians threaten Gani Adams and Fasheun who are leaders of the oodua peoples congress for supporting Jonathan This is indeed a tribalistic nation and no hashtags can cover that up. Our democracy still has a long way to go. |
