olas24u: The strong opposition areas you have mentioned are 3 out of the 20 LGAs. The constitutional requirement for winning apart from a simple majority is to score at least 25% in 2/3 of the LGAs. The Yoruba and APC areas are clearly in the majority and have the numbers to achieve the constitutional requirements for an electoral victory so I ask again, why the isolation and harassment of Igbos living in Lagos? Besides what is wrong with bulk voting? Do others like the Hausas and your people not do the same? Is that a reason to single out a tribe and attack them? You know, your assertion now smacks of the word-of-mouth bias you accuse others of. |

freeze001:What is wrong in going back to develop your own space?Or mind your business ,we have hausas in Lagos, nobody is doing such or telling them anything.you have accept what your host wants ,you cannot have your own agenda here. |
Re: Tinubu Bans Ajimobi From Appearing At APC Governorship Rallies by freeze001(f): 1:15pm On Mar 05, 2019 |
olas24u: So basically Nigerian citizens cannot exercise an independent right to vote their choices of candidates who are also indigenes of a particular state? And somehow this makes a lot of sense to you? You cannot tell Hausas because you are afraid of them however, your intent to dictate to Igbos will not work. You have the majority, use your numbers and don't be greedy! |

freeze001:Firstly,you are not a citizen of Lagos but resident in Lagos,the unitary system you igbos introduced has given an advantage to claim peooles land.your rights are limited, democracy is not universal in practice and this is it.you must align with the desires and the aspirations if the people of Lagos. |
Re: Tinubu Bans Ajimobi From Appearing At APC Governorship Rallies by freeze001(f): 2:07pm On Mar 05, 2019 |
It is not a function of coming to Lagos to vote. Did you see trailer loads of persons esp Igbos arriving and leaving Lagos just to vote? These people are resident in Lagos and are registered there. Should they now refuse to vote when they are eligible to because Lagos indigenes are insecure? Na wa o! Na so the one Naijeriya go dey? lol olas24u: |
Re: Tinubu Bans Ajimobi From Appearing At APC Governorship Rallies by freeze001(f): 2:12pm On Mar 05, 2019 |
olas24u: This is you making up rules as you go along. Lagos is not a country in Nigeria but a state with her indigenes. We are all citizens of Nigeria with a right to register and vote/be voted for in any part of the country. As there are Lagosians supporting APC, so are there Lagosians supporting PDP. Every resident/indigene of Lagos eligible to vote will follow their choice and vote accordingly, simple! Your bias would have made more sense if Igbos had formed a political party and fielded a guber candidate in Lagos. That is not the case here and there is freedom of association. Igbos hate the unitary system and have always been in the forefront for regional governance or outright separation. Until that happens, it is what it is. |

freeze001:You can vote and be voted for ,but in practice,it's only Lagos that has really allowed that to happen,Lagos appointmented an igbo commissioner and has lots of igbos in it's civil service and agencies.i have not heard of the same in any part of the east. |

freeze001: Elites decide for a community,the elites are the thinkers,the rich,the educated,and people with influence,they know what is right for the future,for the next 50years.so the Lagos elites want APC to continue in the same direction |
Re: Tinubu Bans Ajimobi From Appearing At APC Governorship Rallies by freeze001(f): 3:06pm On Mar 05, 2019 |
olas24u:Yorubas have the majority number, the elite according to you are the thinkers while ordinary residents/indigenes are just there to mark present, they do not count beyond votes that is why u feel they cannot think. So let the unthinking majority follow the elite in their large numbers while the fewer independent minded ones exercise their franchise to vote as they will in peace. Is that too much to ask and do? olas24u:And what happened? He was drowned out by your numbers wasn't he? That is what it should be rather that getting overly sensitive and whipping up violent sentiments. How many votes did he get from even the Igbo residents as you claimed in your earlier post that Igbos vote only along ethnic lines and not ideology? olas24u: |

Re: Tinubu Bans Ajimobi From Appearing At APC Governorship Rallies by freeze001(f): 3:41pm On Mar 05, 2019 |
olas24u: Tony Nwulu has also lived and worked for years in Lagos, paying his taxes and contributing his quota. He was entitled to contest and win the election representing the area and he won because of the number of those who voted for him including yorubas. The money benefited his own family/constituency and it is federal money that belongs to all citizens. I am sure he had aides and assistants who were Yorubas as well. Meanwhile I wonder why you are not complaining about James Faleke who has been representing the Ikeja Federal Constituency in the House of Reps for at least 2 terms now yet he is from Kogi. He went to Kogi, contested as deputy governor and came back to Lagos. Why is it not an issue for you? Or because he is not Igbo? Is it only Kogi people that voted him in Lagos? http://thenationonlineng.net/appeal-court-affirms-faleke-winner-2015-poll/ |

olas24u: Igbos want more state creation: Yes, in the absence of regional restructuring. It will bring equity and cure the disadvantage of having 5 while others have 6 and even the N/W has 7. Igbos want 6 Vice Presidents: That is if another from of regional restructuring is achieved by recognising the the six geopolitical zones constitutionally and power/funds are devolved from the centre to the zones or better still, the bottle feeding system of resource allocation from ND to FG to states is scrapped. Then there can be a president and 6 vices from each region. Igbos want LGAs scrapped? I won't even talk on this but read this: http://thenigerianexpression.com/2018/01/26/scrap-local-govt-apc-recommends/ Na Igbo be APC wey recommend this one? https://www.tribuneonlineng.com/103071/ https://www.sunnewsonline.com/scrap-local-govt-system-analyst-urges-fg/ Akinkunmi na Igbo man too? Igbos want state of residence rights: Sane Nigerians also want same but fear of 'losing' ethnic advantages overshadows this. Residence rather than origin will better unify and create a real nation if we are so inclined. Unfortunately that is not the case so it is moot and that is why Igbos will rather have regional systems or outright separation. |

freeze001: ? Lagos make money by itself |
Re: Tinubu Bans Ajimobi From Appearing At APC Governorship Rallies by freeze001(f): 5:02pm On Mar 05, 2019 |
Granted, Lagos is not wholly dependent on crude oil earnings but it still needs and takes its jumbo share. Now how does Lagos make money by itself? Just because it is Lagos or through the human/commercial resources available in the state? Can you discount the humans (indigenes and non-indigenes alike) and business ventures/investments that pay taxes? Is it possible to disregard international investors who are also non-Nigerian citizens? If you think Lagos and any state as presently constituted in this system of government can survive without 'federal allocation', let that allocation be withheld for a month or more then tell me what would happen. olas24u: |

Re: Tinubu Bans Ajimobi From Appearing At APC Governorship Rallies by freeze001(f): 5:11pm On Mar 05, 2019 |
olas24u: Are you getting frustrated? Why do you ask me what is wrong with you? State creation is not and should not be about landmass. There are indigenous Igbos scattered in states outside the SE. It is simply a function of recreating boundaries but of course madness in Nigeria prefers the status quo. Restructure/go back to regions, no. Disintegrate, no. Stop being parochial and stupid, no! When will the madness end? PS: Find out what is wrong with you and sort it out, I am not in a position to know and can't help you. |

Re: Tinubu Bans Ajimobi From Appearing At APC Governorship Rallies by freeze001(f): 5:19pm On Mar 05, 2019 |
olas24u: That is exactly what the Igbos advocate too. That is why we ought to be our best allies but for some reason, tribalism and ethnic bigotry will not give way! Calm down, go and read up publications and press releases on the position of the Igbo and old Eastern region generally; Lower Niger Congress is a good place to start. Osinbajo clearly stated that restructuring is not necessary and he is the highest placed Yoruba man now. Where does that put your claims? |
Re: Tinubu Bans Ajimobi From Appearing At APC Governorship Rallies by olas24u(f): 5:19pm On Mar 05, 2019 |
freeze001:Lagos oil money was withheld for 10months in the past.write something else,,obj held on too the money for 10months or more .but they made more income and increased the revenue.developed infastructure and increased income. |
Re: Tinubu Bans Ajimobi From Appearing At APC Governorship Rallies by freeze001(f): 5:23pm On Mar 05, 2019 |
olas24u: Don't you get me? I have acknowledged that there is more to the resources in Lagos that crude oil funds. However, those other sources of funds are not magic or manna from above. It is the combined effort from human resources available in the state across all divides. The point is all people are important regardless of tribe or creed. Every little drop counts so they must have a say in the leaders of Lagos during elections, simple! That is the crux and genesis of all our exchanges. Now ask yourself: Are you seeing the and feeling the real impact of these figures you are reeling out in the development level/status of Lagos as at today? Is there no room for improvement? Can someone else with fresh ideas not do better? |
