There's a small poll going on for nasarawa a few posts above where you made this one, and as I thought it's exactly fifty fifty. I think Nasarawa will have a rerun

Agbaje is banking on protest votes from the igbos just like GEJ did. We know the outcome of the presidential election.

Truth be told, it takes a high level of dedication for any governor achieve as much as Fashola. The only PDP governor to do something close is ex gov Donald Duke. The others are just bent on stealing and sharing the loot.

Its 11th day of April year 2015, its going to be historical in Yoruba history and we will all know if we learnt at all from Afonja and Alimi scenario in Ilorin or we didn't learn at all. Now that the new Afonja by the name Jimi Agbaje is selling us to Igbo people just to get a mandate he will never get lagbara awon to nile, to te ile Yoruba do, we must all rise and say NO to such act, so if you are in lagos, ogun , or oyo? Kindly dust your pvc now and let's bury this capitalist calling themselves pdp, throws them into lagoon as our oba has instructed and never may we see them in Yoruba land again. Ile yi agbe wa taya tomo, tebi tara ooo.

Mischievous people will be keen to rope Agbaje in with an ethnic agenda convieniently forgetting the silly Akiolu whose case has already become that of ICC and these maggots ingenuosly try to use that ethnic propaganda to lure more voters for Ambode,ironically exposing them as the bigots who are keen to divide Lagos for their principal....fortunately,that's so far they can go because most law-abiding,tax-paying,honest-working Lagosians are tired of APC and thieffnubu.

Pls just shut the crap up. I have tried not to make too much comments on this topic, but some of you (truth be told there are many sensible people among Igbos) are just plain fo0lish to say the least.

What did you do when your fellow Igbo man in Abia sacked non indigenes - even those from other Igbo states? Has anybody sacked anybody in Lagos on the ground of his tribe? Did Fashola deport repatriate only Igbo desitituddes? What about those repatriated to other SW states? What about those repatriated and sent packing from Akwa Ibom? Did Yorubas cried to the heavens for those repatriations? And why on earth are some people thinking government appointments as their rights? Even though Lagos as at this moment still remain the only state in the country to have commissioner from other tribe. How many non-igbos have been given appointment in the entire SE?

Sometimes I don't even get some of you guys. On one hand you want political appointment in Lagos, while on the other hand you don't want want to have anything to do with Awolowo people.


Ambode by the special grace of God will win Lagos and that fo0l trying to cause ethnic divide in Lagos will be out to shame forever
boi stop posting trash, no amount of ranting here will save ur Ambode wooping assx today. JK we know, everybody love JK.

This is sense. People please listen to it.

Lagos is a cosmopolitan city state. After 16 years of supposedly good governance does it have:

*Functional state wide transportation systems?
*Functional state wide water distribution systems?
*Stable electricity?
*Quality Education?
*Inclusiveness in governance?
*Conducive business environment?
*Competitiveness amongst other West African city states?


Basic things e no get, yet they say voting for Jimi is tribalism angry

In as much as Jimi is my preferred candidate, i can't possibly ignore the fact that he divided us along ethnic lines..Lagos state which pride itself as a home for all, is now battling for Supremacy between the Yoruba's and the igbos. that is really pathetic...Jimi destroyed our Lagos, My lagos, your lagos.. History will never forget him..
can you kindly tell me how jimi divided us along ethnic line.

16 years of being the opposition. 16 years of Federal government neglect. Yet Lagos is more developed than Delta, Bayelsa (a tiny state earning more than Lagos) and Rivers.

Recently I realised that there's been no new Federal road in Lagos since the 3rd mainland bridge- not even one!

Agbaje cannot perform half as much as even Tinubu did without the backing of the federal government. Abu Dhabi is enjoying oil returns. Lagos is solely commerce. No mineral resources. Your comparison is flawed.

Precisely my point. If for nothing else, for creating ethnic tension in Lagos alone is enough to vote Ambode and send Jimi to political exile not only in Lagos but in the entire SW politics. If anything happens in Lagos, it will have massive effect across the country all because some daunce chemist want to take power by promoting ethnic divide in Lagos and support the idea of calling his homeland a no mans land. What a way to throw away your heritage; what a shame.
update: accreditation done. Jimi cant win Lagos. I am already on the queue with my six family members.

Those using that angle that JK incited igbos against yoruba, I have a question for u. Since when did APC become a yoruba party? The only reason I'm voting for JK is to break tinubu's stronghold on the treasury of Lagos state. U think the taxes u're paying is heavy under fashola? Just allow ambode to get there and u'll know the true meaning of taxes. Enough of tinubu turning lagos to his family business.
