wesley80: How did he fail to "carry Ndigbo along"? By not building dedicated BRT lanes for Ndigbo? All these kind of talk only serve to subject the so called "Ndigbo" to ridicule IMO.

Haryoryhemie: I heard someone talking abt APGA and PDP, both of dem are divided house already and for igbo people if u know dat lagos is not convient for u pls go back to ur state afterall ur land is flowing with milk and honey so why are u in lagos in d first place. Alreadly u people are constituting nuisance to d state.

naptu2: Classic Nigerian politics. I was telling someone on another thread that the problem with Nigerian politics is not necessary the system (presidential system, monarchy, military rule, parliamentary system, etc), but the practice and the first step to correcting our problems is good civic education.

Our politicians have turned divide and rule into an art form. It's no longer about how good a politician is, is he able to deliver development, does his policy positively impact the lives of the citizens, no! It's about his religion, his ethnicity, his gender. . . Divide and conquer, so that we can steal without the citizens disturbing us. They are too busy battling themselves over ethnicity and religion to care how much we steal.

Here is an addendum to the Constitution on Federal Capital Territory Act. Read it carefully and thoughtfully. I won't give you a free quote while you sit your lazy arse smoking weed. I want you to read read and read. You got to invest sometime on this. You Swine!
http://www.nigeria-law.org/Federal%20Capital%20Territory%20Act.htm

JideTheBlogger:

I wonder oooo.

Delafruita:
you either didnt read the quoted link or you are too daft to understand what it means.
first,thats a quote from the 1990 constituition which is obsolete.besides that quote doesnt in anyway make reference to "states that used to be federal capital territory".it was clearly stated that all reference were to abuja.how does that affect the situation in lagos?the 1999 constituition gurantees the right of any individual to seek election as governor in any state so long as they are nigerian and there were candidates of igbo extraction in the last election.however,when it comes to appointments,that is solely at the discretion of the governor and no federal law contradicts that

ypzilanti:

Nothing in the constitution prevents any Nigerian from running for office in any part of Nigeria.

Maybe you are not aware, but other tribes have ran for office and won in Lagos and Abuja (that I am aware of).

Democracy is a game of numbers. As elections become freer and fairer, you will see more of this in areas with huge migrant populations.

Delafruita:
i know that.the constituition recognizes the rights of every nigerian to seek elective post irrespective of whether they are indigenes of the state or not.my grouse with him was his attempt to imply that the constituition makes a special case for "states that were once federal capital"

aryzgreat:

U think ndigbo are tribal bigots like u tiger faced apes? How did ngige win election in anambra under ACN? can a prominent yoruba politician win election under APGA platform in any yoruba state? u think we have forgotten about funsho williams murder? just to make sure PDP never clinch lagos? We vote based on personality and not ur yoriba tribal voting pattern that made ACN sweep SW even with worst candidate as Ogun, ekiti, osun, and oyo are now showing with no dividend of democracy to show for their much 'progressives' campaign deceit.

Danka7777:

Thanks my brother. That is what I am trying to explain these nescients. I was only interpreting the Constitution for them but they still can't understand.

samkoro:

You thought pattern is 100yrs behind schedule.Why not buy the Nigerian costitution and read.Its not up to N500

whealthy: Tinubu even tried oo! He appointed one as commissioner! How many yoruba dey peter obi, okorocha, orji kalu or apkabio cabinet?

You have serious problem with English language! Do you want me to write in YORUBA, honestly I would as this is a learning experience for you. However if you insist you are comfortable with English, fine. Now, Can you understand that this appendage applies retroactively? Do you know what the adverb "retroactively" mean? Your Primary English school teacher ought be arrested.

caseless: Were was dz man when abia state sacked civil servants frm neighbouring states like abia,imo etc? We hav ibo in kano as adviser n lagos hav don dat ova d yrs,how many ppl hav their states aComodated? Sabon gari in kano they hav councilor..east cant gv u dz

Danka7777:

Once again. yes! This applies retroactively!

rhymz: It appears all the claims of Yoruba people being politically savvy is afterall a myth, giving the comments here, it does not take a super brain to decipher that some Yoruba people just like to argue out of context.
The man made a polittical declaration as an Igbo leader in Lagos, instead of you lot to debate issues based the political context in which such statement was made, you all are busy talking about Yorubas being accomadating and all that crap. That they are accommodating is for their own good as well, in case una no know. And you lot like it or not, Igbos in Lagos have a nunber that can not be ignored by any serious Political party that aims to win, ACN inclusive. They may not be 40% of Lagos population but they constitute a number bloc that can actually take votes away from any party if they so want. So all that threat of Yorubas being accomoding and nice will not suffice when push turns to shove. If ACN is so sure of the fact that Igbos can't do anything then let them ignore them and see how other parties especially the PDP will take advantage of such a careless political blunder.
And for a fact, ACN has not done much to help Igbos in Lagos, instead more Igbos have been pushed by Tinubu controlled Fashola government to the point where markets that have Igbos doing business have been targeted for outright closure for flimsy reasons that defiles common sense, Tejuosho market is a typical example. To the point they threatened to provide them with buses back to their villages if they can't stand the highhandedness of the ACN government.
Fashola is trying no doubt but he has not done any favour for the Igbos in the context of their bloc vote to him, that is a fact. Instead, many of them have lost more businesses and sent packing due to their obnoxious tax regimes and forceful evictions from their business places without any serious alternatives. Abi na only when elections come na in them dey remember Igbo votes ni? Whatever achievements Igbos have made in Lagos should not be attributed to any Yoruba's accommodating whatever, no be only Lagos get Igbo people in Large quantity, Kano, Kaduna and even Sokoto has large Igbo communities and they as well yse their numbers there too to campaign and negotiate with the governments of these places. Make una no dey reason like say una dey do anyone any favourm it us getting annoying.

amosy007: @ PointB

In any case Matthew Ogbonnia Idam speaks for me, and perhaps a lot of Igbos.



is it ur money? Are south westerners complaining? Despite

all that which state is rated number in Nigeria?

gboss4sure:

E dey pain u? U can't change the fact that if igbos don't vote can pdp takes over. Please show me pics of these erosion you are talking about

mu2sa2: The man is only telling the world that he is now in PDP and campaigning for the party. As a typical naija man he has to tribalize it. Simple.

kelvincoll:

Take it easy bro, d last time I checked, d CSO to Gov akpabio na yoruba man. Apparently I don't think d dude is clamouring for ibos filling political positions in lagos I think his talking about effects of ACN administrations as concerns d socioeconomic welfare of ibos living in lagos.

lekkie073: These pests called igbos never cease to be amazing. U leave ur erosion-ridden villages for better life in lasgidi. We welcomed u because we pitied d fact that d FGN ravaged u when u wanted to secede. Now u want more...small time u go ask for chieftancy titles from our kings. Ur time will soon be up. Go back to idemili and develop d snake-infested jungle u call ur homes. Nansense!

obxddon: I keep begging people on here not to smoke before they post anything.....Wet weed is bad for your brain..
The man in question is not speaking for the igbo people in Lagos,how many igbo people belong to his so-called organization in Lagos and some people should stop generalizing wen some one from a section of the country says anything,Don't use it to generalize and insult other people from that tribe because they said something.

I have met a lot of Yoruba people that are backstabbers and snitch,some that are dirty,some that are cowards....Dat does not mean that is how the rest Yoruba people are,..I have met Ibo men that can kill for money,sell their daughter during marraige and also enjoy kidnap business but not all the ibos do that,.......I have met warri and Binnin people who have no other jobs but 419 and are very fetish in nature yet that are hundreds of people from that area that are Godly and very nice.......

Once again people who write rubbish and try to tribalize and generalize..please stop smoking wet weed before you comment on topics on this site.
