Ambode first seek Igbo votes. So why they hate Jimi is not because he's not Yoruba or because he seek Igbo votes. They hate him that he's better than Ambode and most importantly, he belongs in PDP which the SW loathes.

Dunce!Jimi is better than Ambode?LMAO tell me u joking!

That's all! We can't shout!

TELL ME YOU DONT WISH YOU HAVE A MAN LIKE TINUBU IN IGBOLAND? YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THIS MAN TINUBU AS DONE FOR LAGOS IN THE PAST, HE SACRIFICE HIS LIFE AT A POINT, YOU NEED TO MAKE YOUR RESEARCH VERY WELL, WHERE WERE YOU WHEN HE WAS DENY ALLOCATION FOR GOOD 8 YEARS? YET HE GOVERN LAGOS PERFECTLY ... SO LET HIM BE THE KING OR THE EMPEROR OF LAGOS WE THE YORUBAS LIKE IT THAT WAY .... HOW WE CHOOSE OUT GOVERNOR IS NON OF YOUR BUSINESS ... GO TO EAST AND DECIDE GOOD LEADERS FOR YOURSELF TOO... THEY CALL YORUBAS COWARDS YET THEY ARE ALL AFRAID LAGOON PARTY ... HAHAH AMBODE NI JAREEEEEE

No Igbos don't have and won't have somebody like Tinubu. Do you know why? Simple the Igbos don't like one person lording it over everybody. Go and ask Chris Uba what happened the last time he tried the Tinubu style. And for your information nobody gives a hoot about who becomes your governor, that is nobody,s business, but don't use because of the hatred you have for the Igbos, and jettison the merits of Abaje and his ability to lead Lagos. Take time and ask yourself what you and your family have gained from tinubu's hegemony and control of Lagos govt

Very shameless yoruba man. Lagos maybe in SW however very different from Osun, Ondo, Oyo, Oyo, Ogun and Ekiti in that 80% of taxes and duties paid into its coffers are by non yorubas...keep that in mind. When next you see Fashola commissioning a project...say big thank you to the non yorubas who are funding it through their taxes and duties. You think Lagos can function without them? You people should be very careful how carelessly you speak. Also say big thank you to the Niger Delta for your behemoth monthly allocation...you think you can survive without this handout by generous Niger Delta people? Speaking as a Niger Deltan, the day you Yoruba will marginalize any non yoruba in Lagos, be prepared to lose your federal monthly allocation and non payment of taxes and duties by non Yorubas...let's see how you will survive. You think Lagos would have attained its current economic and social status without nom yorubas and federal character? You want one Nigeria, you must abide by every law that glues us as Nigerians.

so if you go to South Africa as business man,and you pay taxes,because you pay your taxes,you will now start claiming Lord over the indigenes? Or because igbos are many in ghana who do good business and pay their taxes now means they can claim lordship over political environment in the land?

See,we value Igbos input in Lagos,their business sense and success are highly recognized! Samething for hausas who in sabo market scattered all over lagos. But it doesn't mean igbo should now start to getting agitated on our political issues- that naturally will trigger hate or resentment among the Yoruba- as far as west is concern,yorubas are the real owner of the land- we have obas,baale,land owners who are yoruba and they are not igbo. Igbo should recognize and respect yoruba here . That's what we are saying- saying no man land or igbo will be governor of lagos or igbo will decides the political environment of lagos can bring resentment from yoruba- Yoruba are politically wise-we know what we want when it comes to politics. We are very calculative and objective when it comes with voting- Igbo can not bring in their sentimental voting here it and spoil our vision for good governance- go to Ekiti-they know what they want-they want Fayose,even me as a yoruba does not understand why they are still clinching to Fayose- and I respect them for that. So please-nobody says you should not do your business in lagos.we all need each other that's what we call it unity-

PS- you claiming niger delta owns the oil,and feed nigeria? Yes I agreed,but what are the Niger deltans have be eating before oil boom? Who has been feeding them since?whose money used in building their pre-oil boom government institutions? Please enough pf it. We all need each other it as simple as that. Yoruba will never claim land ownership on niger delta or seeking for political relevant in their land. So dig it

Yorubas and stupidity... Always want to be slaves to one man. You didn't vote Agbaje because he seek the support of igbos showed highest level of insensitivity. As if he was not a Yoruba.. I pity you guys, keep bowing for Tinubu and let him be determining your faith every year.Tinubu will determine your faith in the next 24 years...guess what, the same set of people in his pipeline will be benefiting while the rest of you will be leaking his anus
thinking you voted against the igbos. Agbaje is a pure Yoruba, he may have spread his campaign to get the Igbo votes, but guess what? the Yorubas in their primitive and tribalism voted against him..this is contrary to the education which they claimed to have acquired. Yoruba are slaves to Tinubu and will remain slaves!..stupid sets of people

That's all!

I so much agree with you on this. I stopped supporting Agbaje the moment He started making it seems only Ibo votes can make him win an election. God bless the Ibo's for their contributions towards development of Lagos, but that does not make them own the state to the level of even boasting they can determine who rules the state forgetting that other tribes also make up Lagosians. The unwarranted and provocative utterances of the Oba of Lagos was as a result of the level of ridicule Agbaje has brought upon his throne by telling the Ibo's he will upgrade their leader to the Oba's level!. No one can accept that from someone who is a son of the soil. He was practically selling out his own clan just for power. His desperation convinced me that he will mess up Lagos state. If he wins, it will be a matter of time before fight will break out between the Yoruba's and Ibo's because the Ibo's (with due respect) will not stop telling both that cares and those that doesn't care that they "made Agbaje governor" and such speech will definitely cause temper to flare up. Lagos is for all both own by the Yoruba's and other ethnic groups needs to respect that. God bless the good people of Lagos state and God bless Nigeria.

Who is tribal here? Ambode or Agbaje?

Can you allow such madness in your place?
Chris Ingige lost senate presidency position not because he incited Yoruba against Igbo or he embarrassed any eze or he claimed anambra for Yoruba, but because he belongs to a party they did not believed in. What would have happened to him if he does what Agbaje did.
The same Ingige incedence is happening to rochas.

I think Yorubas has tried enough for non_Yorubas in their land, they voted for Igbo federal house of rep, choose igbos as commissioners in strategic position and paid school fees, medical bills and so many things we don't even know. Yet you turn against the same people because of jonathan's loss.

In Osun, Akwa ibom woman won house of rep not because she a Yoruba woman, same thing with Igbo man made commissioner in kwara state during Muhammed lawal's term not because they are more than 10% but they are humbly part and parcel of the society, people appreciates their contribution and love them. But if they want to force them self on them and flex mustle in their own land who will tolerate that nonsense. Such attitude causes self awareness and reaccessment for a care free society and it breeds hostility.

saintandsinnerz:
What I really don't get is why the Yorubas hated this man so much? Is he not a Yoruba man? Why the hate on him? Somebody just said it is because he seeked the support of Igbos and non indigenes in the election. Well if that is true, then the hatred the yorubas have for the Igbos is beyond this earth. If you take a look at all the comments in this thread, it is littered with yorubas abusing the Igbos for no just cause. When the Igbos respond they will say igbos this, igbos that. All I can see is people filled with hate and rabid gelousy. Just because jimi agbaje is seeking the support of other tribes, they now transfer d hatred they have for other tribes to him. They preferred to be to the apron strings of bola tinubu forever. While d man becomes more richer from "tithes" he receives from his stooges (fashola and maybe now Ambode) you lot continue to persih in poverty and hate. You guys should continue with your hate filled lives and see where it gets u

My brother, its not because JK seeked the support of other ethnic groups that is the problem, I think its because of the way he went about seeking the votes, using divisive politics, like the the yorubas are maltreating other ethnic groups and making it seems as if other ethnic groups are more important than the yorubas in lagos in numbers or otherwise.

cole265:


In particular, the Igbos! Don't stylishly incorporate other tribes. You are hated by all tribes in Nigeria and every where your pple go. Just because of your covetous ways...always wanting to suppress others even in their homes. Your domineering attitude and lack of respect and orders are the reason for the hate on you by every tribe. We disliked Agbaje for towing the same way as you. Yes, he is our son and we have only thought him a lesson and will integrate and rehabilitate him.

Igbos, yorubas like you guys and we believe we can better work together, but many of you must change your ways and be civil and more accommodating.

And the yorubas are saints right? Keep on hating the Igbos and continue languishing in poverty and bitterness whereas the d Igbos you hate so much keep waxing strong economically. Hate will not take you anywhere, it will only kill you. Keep hating

What are you saying? so you guys now claim ownership of the oil and gas too? i am niger deltan and its no news that we have both ethnic and political ties with igbos. What is wrong is the way everything in Nigeria is about tribe, nowadays here in delta state the indigenes are now waking up to the tribal game. it is now common place to hear that you can't work in an oil firm here simply cos u are non-indigene, how long can we go this way? someday it would be you can't vote in a place cos u r non-indegene too.

The way lagos took this agbaje/ambode thing is a very bad example for the rest of the country. You guys voted against your own son, simply because non yorubas saw the gem in him. I was pro agbaje since last year, that was before the whole ethnicity thing came in. and the reason was because i saw a technocrat not a politician but yorubas saw an igbo lover, too bad.

You guys should stop all this, they voted against him because he does not have what it takes to manage lagos, was he not a member of dis-functioned AC when Fashola was picked ahead of him? To be honest, the Igbos supported him not because they believed in him but because they wanted to avenge what happened during presidential election and get back at Bola Tinubu that came up with the whole APC blueprint that ousted GEJ.

For Your Information, Lagos is a no man's land. It was a former FEDERAL territory so no amount of ethnic colouration can make it a yoruba enclave. I intend to vie for House of Rep's from Alimosho in 2019. There's nothing ethnic jingoists like your type can do about it. End of story. If you feel aggrieved, join us in the Atlantic ocean and stop exploding your toxic ethnic agenda on social media

Hapuya:


That's all!

Please tell me why Ngige and Rochas are not supported in the east? If u can't I will tell you: it's because majority of the easterners are seeing them s people who has sold out Ibo's by joining APC who they perceived as anti -Ibo party. Agbaje lost simply because he started campaning on tribal sentiment and that awakened the consciousness of his people who realised the effect of him wining the election. How else will you describe how he lost his own constituency to APC?. And lastly, it is very wrong to use fowl and insulting languages on a whole tribe just because they made their choice. People a times determine how they want to be led and you must respect that. Thanks. One love!

Ibos, nice set of people.

I wish we can forget this cold war and skepticism towards one another.
I wish we can respect each other on their soil.

No doubt, there is a loop hole which we all need to address. A loop hole that will not allow residency to replace indigenship on national questionnaire; back door acquisition.

Anyway, am grateful to my Ibo friend who got me my lovely Job on my soil. Thanks

You are spot on! I'm sad about the line my fellow country men have towed. It's been quite embarrassing I must say.

Nigeria is approaching true federalism and most people are not comfy with it.

I can understand ur frustration,i can feel ur pain.Meanwhile you can tell that to northerners and not westerners because we have what it takes to survive.And about your analysis of non yoruba,i hope u mean FDI cos here in ogun hw many ibos do we have that are paying tax.The tax majorly are coming from firms and get this into your big skull,if you are not satisfied with the way we are doing things LAGOON is there.What are you waiting for?






APC




CHANGE.

How many Yorubas are dominating your oil and gas industry? Compared to the number of your people making billions from Yorubaland and getting their goods from our ports?

the one wey your papa build?

That means we can say that Calabar too is no man's land since it was former FCT? Take this mentality as part of your manifesto when contesting and see how far you will go as a Politician. Good luck.

So he should because they other tribes refuse tax collection? Your mumuism get raised to power. Or the few yoruba's who own business in the other regions don't pay tax?

Yoruba are slaves to Tinubu and will remain slaves!..stupid sets of people

I dont think you should always attach Tinubu to voting patterns of Lagosians...It reflects a deep sense of emotion inform of hatred for one man at the expense of other factors that may affect voting patterns..I would use my case as an example...I have never voted for Tinubu and i disliked him for all the years he used in office. I have no reason to like him personally because he and his government revoked my Uncles property in Ikoyi....In 2007, i voted for only for Jimi Agbaje..But fast forward to 2011, Fashola became the man and won Lagosians votes. Why?...He performed or was perceived to have performed.

Despite Tinubu's flaws, He has a working system, that emanated after his tenure, his conquest of some SW states has also resulted in development in these Areas.

For me its about performance and not about Just one person being at the helm for donkey years calling the shots...I would rather pitch my tent where i see meaningful growth. It is double jeopardy if Tinubu steals Lagos state's money and also have no brains to deploy.

If i had my PVC, my vote would not have been influenced by Religion, God fatherism, ethnic or sentiments, I would have voted based on performance and antecedents.

I like Jimi, although it appears he evoked the sentiments of the Ibo tribe that seems to feel marginalized in Lagos and that has caused a form of division among these set of people that have always lived freely together. I would not have voted for him because he his contesting against a working government that has done considerably well (in my view). I would atleast trust Fashola's judgement on the next governor for another 4 years, to properly consolidate on the the gains in Lagos...And if in four years, am not satisfied with Ambo's performance, By then my PVC would be available for deployment.

In a nut shell, Its not about Tinubu, its about what works...Even if its for 100 years as long as we have visionaries and strategist that are always ahead of the game to make progress. I wont call it slavery, Its just common sense!!!
