It is our land and our Oba can do and undo, as he wills.

You can dare him in court, if you are pained.

londoner:


what makes you think there are no supporters that are not igbo.....at the end of the day.......it is also not good for nigeria to give all power to one party or set of people. lagoss prospered under fashola, because of the type of man fashola was, not because of APC even if you feel PDP is wrong......look around you, the same people in pdp those years ARE NOW IN APC...........APC is just a rearrangement of PDP. had the cross carpeting not happened you would have a point, but the difference beween PDP of yesterear and APC of today is simply letters, NOTHING MORE.



Look behind the letters and see who is there.

Of course I do not want a One Party state or country. My question is what has been PDP's investment in Lagos for them to.have the audacity to be asking for our vote. It is insulting.

Sincerely I do no mind any other party, AP LP KOWA etc.

For now all our parties still lack identifiable ideologies but to a large extent APC has a semblance of having an idea of good governance, which PDP does not have to.offer in any way, apart from chop-I-Chop politics, politricks and politicking.

The most annoying part is the divisive campaign strategy they are employing again in Lagos, after the same failed them I'm the presidential election. Unfortunately they are just making more resentment to grow towards Ibos and sincerely the people will forgive the yorubas that vote for PDP but they will hold it against the Ibos for trying to truncate the peace nd prosperity of the land.

In all sincerity, igbos have the right to vote en mass for whosoever they wish. Telling us they will install someone on us is insulting unsavoury and uncouth.

ekenedegreat:
Those things you mentioned is everywhere even your oba is having problems with everybody presently because of his hate speech. Since the two governoship aspirants in lagos state are yorubas,why would the oba made such a nasty statement?

We have all condemned his outburst in clear cut terms.

However, we shall not allow some cannibalistic people without culture to insult our traditional institution. they are foreigners and they will forever be.

They should not allow one useless party to use them to debar the progress of our peaceful and prosperous land.

londoner:


well someone is threatening deatjhto others if they should vote for a fellow yoruba man.....thats is how things like you describe begin.

i agree it was in bad taste to sack people just because they were from a particular state, but at least they were reinstated and it did not have widespread approval o the people.

You cannot sabotage the progress of our land. We cannot afford to hand over our blossoming state into the hands of hawkish, divisive and clannish PDP party. What has PDP done for Lagos in 16years and now they want Lagos?.

We shall not allow them to use people from across the Niger to truncate our progress. We know tha bad party and we know the fairly good. We shall stick with the fairly good that we know for now, till a better one surfaces.

Why must they even consider sacking people from the same Igbo speaking states at all? Tells so much about the unity that exists. What do.you have to say about the supremacy of Anambra people over all of you?

Very funny group of people.

ekenedegreat:
can you tell me how many times buhari failed elections? But today,he is nigerians president elect.

Buhari has an image and integrity that he was able to sell to us over time.

Which image are y1bos selling that can EVER be acceptable to yorubas or even to yourselves.

Anambra lords it over other alaigbo, Abia sacks y1bos from other states from its civil service. What an image indeed. Even the koma tribe cannot descend that low.

babyosisi:


All this anger because Lagos is a No mans land and a mere colonial contraption

I laff in kamikaze.

They wish. They can only wish it was, it can never be.

Go back to your eroded land of alaigbo and develop it.

raumdeuter:


WHat is the meaning of Delta in Isoko? WHat is the meaning of Rivers or Port-Harcourt in Ikwerre, What is the meaning of Cross-River in Efik, WHat is the meaning of Plateau in Berom, what is the meaning of South Africa in Xhosa

Some of you are morronic beyond words

What is the meaning of "Rangers Avenue"?

Those people are just daft and shallow.

babyosisi:


Glad our own touts are giving it back to you
Yesterday you were laughing
Now you are crying
Na turn by turn

Cry over what?

You are just bunch of deluded fellas.

I hope your laughter won't lead to eternal sorrow, just like it did in 1966.

History do repeat itself. Be warned.

babyosisi:


Anger begets anger
If the oba hadn't been stoopid in his utterances this thread will be non existent
If the king decides to run naked there are people who will beat the drums for him to dance
Nobody has a monopoly of bad mouth
Since the king can talk like a tout,he ought to be reminded that we have our own touts

Since his words have angered people and the responses have equally angered the hearers,it is now a draw
Everyone should go home and nurse their wounds
Chikena

You don't punch me with your fist and complain if I decide to respond with a semi automatic gun

If your forefathers that were facing T72s and Abraham's tanks with machete and cassava sticks have reasoned this way, maybe 3million of you would not have been offered to Amadioha for fun.

Boss13:


THE ROYAL FAMILY OF THE BENIN. NOT TALES BY MOONLIGHT - FACT. WE ARE GOING TO MAKE A MOVIE ON THIS SOON. WATCH OUT. THAT IS WHY I SAY, I KNOW THE HISTORY OF LAGOS BETTER THAN THE LAGOSIANS AND NOT THE ONDOs or THE OYOs WHO MIGRATED TO LAGOS.

TAKE CARE

Do not run away.

Answer the question. Who.owns the crown of Benin?

Boss13:


I am not a double twisted yoruba fella. Many Ibos ran to the ancestry homes. FACT. Some stayed behind, take it from me who witnessed it. The igbos from Onitsha came down and caused mayhem, which made Babaginda to order curfew and military patrol.

Bloody liar.

Which part of Lagos did your invisible "Osha Warriors" caused mayhem?

I am listening o

JK is Just Kidding and he knows.

Boss13:
From the crowning of Ado as its first Oba, Lagos (then called Eko) served as a major center for slave-trade, from which then Oba of Benin Ado and all of his successors for over four centuries benefitted - until 1841, when Oba Akitoye ascended to the throne of Lagos and tried to ban slave-trading.

Local merchants strongly opposed the intended move, and deposed and exiled the king, and installed Akitoye's brother Kosoko as Oba.[3]

At exile in Europe, Akitoye met with British authorities, who had banned slave-trading in 1807, and who therefore decided to support the deposed Oba to regain his throne. With the success of the British intervention, in 1851 Akitoye was reinstalled as Oba of Lagos. In practical terms, however, British influence over the kingdom had become absolute, and ten years later, in 1861, Lagos was formally annexed as a British colony.

READ UP FOOLS. Your Oba was a makeshift by the British.

Funny you.

If I want to follow your warped tales by moonlight story of Oba of Benin, I put it to you and I am asking you

WHO OWNS THE CROWN of BENIN KINGDOM?

Boss13:


I love it and also the Nigerian Constitution. Let me give you kids another story. I remember 1993 clearly, after the MKO saga, some yoruba touts thought upon themselves to cause mayhem, they initially started killing the hausas in mile 12 and wanted to extend to the Ibos, the Ibos in Onitsha came in trucks, invaded Lagos and started their onslaught before the military took over to restore peace.

I am not a tribalist, but I have read, watched and listened to kids who know nothing about Lagos other than the ones told to them by their parents, come up here to spit thrash. Talking about war or coming out to fight and I like said previously, it is not the igbos in Lagos that will fight you, just like 1993, the mad ones in Onitsha and Aba will rush down to do the bidding.

Who is this bloody liar?

Even your best could not even capture a small town like Ore.

We can all remember how all of you ran away during June 12 in 1993 to your gully eroded land, praying that war will befall our peaceful and prosperous land.

mekaboy:


Lol, the yorubas sold the land by themselves to the igbos. Go and ask your igbo landlord.

My fore fathers never had one and I can NEVER have one.

PDP in conjuction.with Jimi are hell bent on selling Yorubaland.

Spread the message of AkPuGA to every yoruba.

Octaves:
your people are the ones crying a river. Their dulling selves can't keep up with the igbos hence the bitterness and complaints- igbo this igbo that. Not that we want the land but as long as there is one Nigeria, You guys cant even force us out of Lagos else naija will be a thing of the past. Deluded tribalist

You can even hug a 10000KVA if you are pained, I care less.

We are not related to you in anyway and do not care a hoot about you. Coming to our prosperous land to call it a no man's land can only lead to one thing --- TOTAL ANNIHILIATION.

It is the person that has not seen Shango in action before, that spreads mat and watch when he is vituperating.

The already 419-ed and dead AkPuGA too is talking.

Can all yorubas see why Oba Akiolu is right after all.

I don't have AkPuGA's time, even their Ohaneze and Ikenga tried it, they failed.

Azikiwe tried he failed.

Ojukwu tried it and he also failed woefully.

How much more this new noise makers.

NEXT

Octaves:
You Yorubas' w tknow what- Shove ur hospitality and good host bullshit up ur arses. So east of the Niger, the Yorubas and hausas are not well received? What other Yoruba state has non indigenes in political positions- none! That shows there is nothing special non indigenes gain in Yoruba land. Lagos is a different case because it was the capital of the country. So the FG put a lot of invesments there. The reason it is an economic super power is the effort of every Nigerian that live there not just Yorubas (it's like the FG moving the capital from Abj and hausas claiming they are doing everybody else residing there a favor for living there and trying to control them). This is Nigeria for heaven's sake not a group of countries with different identities. There is freedom of movement. The Yorubas should understand that. You guys like to sing about how you guys are so tolerant to allow non indigenes to come and invest in and develop your land as if would have said no to investments. The reason Lagos is the way it is today goes back to when it was the capital and technically a no man's land. Every body was there and they built Lagos not just the Yorubas. So you guys are not doing anybody any favor.

Cry me holy water, go back to your land and develop it. People that their forefathers cannot even build an empire are now the ones that will build a city for others. Yeye dey smell.


We are doing you a favour, so shut up.

We did not beg you to come, na you waka come our prosperous and beautiful land by yourself. If you are pained that it is a yorubaland, jump inside the Atlantic Ocean and swim to the nearest State in SE that has a sea shore.

Unfortunately, there is none.

Are y1bos the only ones in Lagos. Set of noise making and chest beating crowd that lacks decorum.

redsun:
Yorubas, on average adores thugs. They fear, adore and look up to them for guidance and pittance. And that is why area boy's culture never seems to go away,itvis part and parcel of typical yoruba political agendas,the politicians rely on it to intidate and dominate the people.

A good example is Tinubu and now an oba that the people use to revere as gods has condescended so low to the point of messing with politics of thuggery,intimidation and looting.

If you pathetic, miserable, cannibalistic and crime inclined y1bos have anybody that can just lace the boot of Tinubu, your despicable red mud, gully eroded and crime infested land will not be as desolate as it is.

Group of people that can kill, cook and sauce their parents for money.

Umeh
| credits: File copy
The National Chairman of the All Progressive Grand Alliance, Chief Victor Umeh, has appealed to the President-elect, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari(retd.), not to vilify Ndigbo for not voting massively for him during the Presidential poll.

Umeh who made the appeal at a press conference in Umuahia, the Abia State capital, said the massive support Ndigbo gave to President Goodluck Jonathan though he lost at the poll was based on the conviction of the people that Jonathan represented hope for their political future.

He said ” Buhari should not see Ndigbo as his enemies. We are not against Buhari but were only pursuing our political interest.

“We were looking for somebody who would help Ndigbo recover from the ruins of the civil war. Jonathan convened a national conference and we felt that the report of the conference would address most of the injustices against Ndigbo, that was why we followed him.

” But now that the election is won and lost we should not be seen as enemies. We hope God will still use Buhari to address our many challenges. He should adopt the report of the conference .

” Buhari will not succeed if he fails to address the injustices in Nigeria or treats Ndigbo as his enemies. We will embrace him and support him if he shows concern for our plights.

” What we followed in the last election was the line of hope we saw in Jonathan. We are looking for a way Ndigbo can come back to Nigeria’s political tripod and survive.

” If Buhari had promised to implement the report of the conference, maybe we would have voted for him en mass . But now he should look for a way to accommodate us and give us a sense of belonging in his government.”

The APGA boss, however, said all hope was not lost for Ndigbo politically as APGA would provide the tribe with the opportunity to be re-integrated into national politics.

He, therefore, called for the people of South East to help in reviving APGA by voting massively for all its candidates at the April 11 Governorship and House of Assembly polls to serve as a political platform to advance the cause of the Igbo nation.

The Almighty Y1bos that their forefathers could not even develop a mere and enduring building technology, talk less of having an empire

The Almighty Y1bos that keeps running away from their already desolate and cursed land

The Almighty Y1bos that no body else is willing to migrate to their despicable red mud land

The best the British wrote about the Almighty Y1bos is calling them cannibals that were dancing round a pot of boiling human beings, living under a tree.

The unaccommodating Almighty Y1bos with their pathetic cities and standard of living --------

They are now the ones building another man's City for him.

That is a classical example of, and harvard researched sheer foolishness, then. No story.

cindicandy:
Am not sure Egypt as the father of civilisation still has mud habited areas.

The problem with yollobas is poverty and not preservation. Lolzzzz

A visit to Cairo will tell you.

If you can't, Google will be more than willing to assist you.

The problems with y1bos are

1. Their land is a red mud and gully eroded land

2. Poverty and misery is chasing them away from their lands.

3. They have no culture to protect.

They have sufficient and good land to accommodate both the new and the old city. The growth of towns and cities in SW is linear and not vertical because of the reason stated above.

The old part tells the story of our ancestors and forefathers, while the new shows what we are evolving to.

A former Minister of Information, Chief Edwin Clark, has pledged to work with the President-Elect, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari(retd.).

He said he will support him the way he supported the late President, Alhaji Umaru Yar’Adua.

Clark stated this in a congratulatory message sent to the President-elect, who contested the presidential election on the platform of the All Progressives Congress against President Goodluck Jonathan of the peoples Democratic Party in the March 28 presidential election.

He said, “I congratulate you and reassure you that as you get to commence the process of peaceful transition and government, you will have my full support, as a man who strongly believes in the unity of Nigeria, just as I supported our most respected late President, Umaru Yar’Adua, and his successor, President Jonathan, as along as you will, at all times, uphold the dignity of Nigeria and those things that bind us together as one united country.

“Remember that part of our old National Anthem, which says, ‘Though tribe and tongue may differ, in brotherhood we stand.’

“This was exactly what the late Nelson Mandela of South Africa stood for, and the late Martin Luther Kings Jnr of the United States of America fought and died for.”

He said he was happy that the President conceded defeat, an action, he said, disappointed the nation’s distractors, both within and outside the country.

These unnamed enemies, he said, had thought that the result of the elections would not be accepted by any of the two major contestants and thereby create a chaotic situation in the country.

If this had been done, he explained, the action would have satisfied those prophets of doom, whmo he said felt there would be no more Nigeria after the 2015 general elections.

Clark however insisted that every citizen of the country must be treated equally and should also be respected.

He said the minorities of the South-South region had supported and worked with every government in Nigeria, and that they waited for 50 years before it pleased God to make of them the ruler of the country.

He said he and the people of the region remain grateful because of this.

Clark said, “We remain grateful for that and no one has faulted the majority ethnic group for ruling over the years.

“This is the principle I have always stood for and supported. But some people misunderstood me.”

Why are the promoters of this sinister and clandestine move for the removal of state of origin Ibos alone?


Why? Are they the only ones in Nigeria.

It is a DOA move.

Why can't an English man go to Scotland to contest?

Why can't a Welsh go to Ireland to contest?

They have ancestral linkage to their respective lands. Simple as ABC

Anybody that wants state of residence or place of birth should head to Canada, Australia or America, definitely not Europe Africa, Asia and South America.
