Ayemileto:





Colonel Oyinlola was governor of Lagos from December 1993 – August 1996. The Olympic Games in Atlanta ended on August 4th, 1996.


This was on the very top of the article, and from the article, he made the announcement on August 10.

A check on Wikipedia shows he left (or was removed from) office on August 22.

That means he left office 11 or 12 days after making the promise (depending on the time on August 10 he made the promise and the time he left office on August 22)


So, for people asking why he didn't fulfill the promise, I think it might be due to time.

He might not be expecting to leave office at the time he did, so probably didn't haste the fulfillment of the promise.

FalseProphet1:
Nigerian leaders are so shameless, always shifting the goal post so as to avoid fufiling their promises. I remember this man during his days as Lagos State governor, always burning traders goods on Yaba rail way, made lives miserable for them, yet he couldn't honour a promise he made to someone that made the nation proud.

The purging has started already, the old shall pass away and a new Nigeria is already here.

This I have seen.

emimore:

Why must some people tribalize everything? Nobody has mentioned or insulted Yoruba on this thread, you the only one doing that. They've been instances where other state governors gave lands or houses to those that made Nigeria proud in the international scene not minding state of origin.
Pls let's move forward

Bororo man Imo government appointed a Yoruba person in to his cabinet few days ago and nobody made noise about that

ZZ22:
I would have asked you to call my father idiot but calling my father an idiot will be a big award for him.

Freestainworld:
fake promises, you are talking now because another governor fulfilled your promises.

PrinceOfLagos:
Baba abeg shut up

Who promise Epp

Promise you didn't fulfil

Wickedtruths:
Chioma Ajunwa is from Imo state but Lagos State Government gave her a house. What has Imo state done for her?
What has Igboland done for her?
Yet you see Igbos insulting Yorubas every day.

God bless Sanwo-Olu,
God bless Lagos State
God bless Yorubaland.

As for this agbaya called Oyinlola, he should have shut up. You can't be this old and this foolish at the same.

merryossai:
Later someone will be lamenting why Dele Alli and Saka etc. refuse to represent Nigeria? ...if na you, you go play for this country? Before u rush n answer, consider the level of audio reward and lackadaisical approach meted out to our previous sport heroes by our leaders.

DenreleDave:


Yes we need to remind you.... We yorubas ain't hateful like your people...

Which eastern government has done dt to others ever?

It's a question, nt an insult

Boudiccao:

She contested from Lagos and was chosen to represent Nigeria and got recognized only because of hard work not tribe.
Nobody forced your Yoruba governor to make promises to her.

phemmyfour:
That 12 days is more than enough to empty the treasury but cannot fulfill a promise of common land

Boudiccao:

Why should any Eastern governor do that? She contested from Lagos before representing Nigeria hence the promises made by Lagos govt.

Wickedtruths:


The truth must be said no matter how bitter or inconvenient it is. Please show us an instance right from the 16th century till today where any of the five Eastern states gave a house to any non-igbo.
Is it not Abia state that sacked workers from Imo state the other day?

Yorubas are very hospitable people and Igbos must be constantly reminded that we are their benefactors. We don't deserve the insults we get from them. You can't wish your benefactors bad and expect to prosper, it won't happen.

Boudiccao:


Stop this tribalistic nonesense.
Why exactly should an Eastern governor gives houses to people?
This lady was in Lagos and contested from Lagos before the Nigerian Olympic committee chose her to represent Nigeria. That's why the promises was made to her.
Your Lagos governor didn't just wake up to make that promise. Stop the nonesense.

DenreleDave:
Wonders shall never end.. See igbos raising their voice on the man .. I hope eastern government can do the same to other tribes...

God bless Yorubas.


Emblem of unity, peace, justice and fairness....





Isn't chioma a Nigerian dt wọn? Sọ if a Yoruba Governor cudnt fulfill a promise to an igbó, what's stop other igbos governors in doing it...

They cudnt but waited for another Yoruba to do it..


Yoruba are the most hospitable tribe in the world.. Take it or leave it... Fl@t edds

Wickedtruths:


Apart from being an ingrate, you are a lying scoundrel and an unintelligent revisionist. Chioma Ajunwa WAS NOT in Lagos. She never represented Lagos, was not serving in the Lagos State Police Command as at then.

Assuming she was even in Lagos, is that what stopped your Igbo leaders from recognising her and honouring her as an Igbo lady?
Or it is because she's a woman.
You fools can recognise prostitutes and armed robbers but you can't recognise Chioma Ajunwa.

Boudiccao:
Chioma has represented Lagos and Nigeria both in football and track and field events all by merit and she did all of this as a police officer. This has nothing to do with tribe.
If she represented Warri or Yenagoa,she would have also been compensated there. Only fools tribalize things like this.

Boudiccao:
Secondly, Chioma didn't beg for house. She has been quite popular as an athlete in Lagos and your governor went on to make promises to her.
