Tribalism In Politics:simple Comparison Between GRV And Obama. by Ekejoestar(m): 7:52pm On Mar 07, 2023
Coming all the way from Kenya, we all know the story of Obama.

Father from Kenya while mother from Kansas in the US, the man never denied his root but was firm in contributing to the growth of the modern America and he participated in the politics of US and won many positions upto the highest office of the president. The first man of African descent to achieve that lofty position and he is loved all over the US and respected globally.

Now we have GRV, coming all the way from Southwest Nigeria, Lagos state to be precise, his paternal roots can be traced to one of the founding families of Lagos and his ancestors are well known both in legal and economic sectors of Lagos and Nigeria at large.
Here's is a young man contesting for the office of the governor of his father's land but the opposition parties has made tribalism and ethnic bigotry the center issue simply because his mother is an igbo woman and here's a fact well known by all in the southern part of Nigeria that igbos and yorubas form the highest rate of inter-tribal marriage among the ethnic groups in Nigeria.

So my question is, does it mean that the children of those popular yoruba sons who married igbo women like David Adeleke, Seyi Tinubu and gov Akeredolu plus other numerous yorubas have no right in the say of their father's land simply because they have igbo blood in them. (Let's remember Rwandan genocide)

You may say that he called yorubas Afonj,as which is a lie but you fail to remember that even if he did,he is also indirectly calling himself such,since he is a yoruba man.

Pls.my fellow Yorubas,let's campaign based on the issues that affects our development as a people and.remove tribalism and religious sentiments from our policy cause these are the two powerful weapons that politicians have been using to divide us from time immemorial.

Obama saw himself as an American first before anything and didn't insult them or support Terrorist group against Americans!

We've done well to accommodate the seriaLeone returning slave of his ancestors, worse would be insulting us for accomodating his slave ancestors and his Ungrateful mother

Did Obama insult Americans?

A product of one night stand between a l0vepeddler and randy Mr. Rhodes wants to govern Lagos, even had guts to call Yorubas 'afonja" and deride Pst. Adeboye. A complete nuisance is who you compare to a bright Obama?

Are you aware the Rhodes family,the legitimate Lagosians have endorsed Sanwo Olu?
The born throwaway that grew up in his mother's side full of bile and hate towards Yorubas suddenly cares about Lagos.. tell us another joke.
