Afenifere, bunch of shameless people.

saintikechi:
just cos you are a tenant in an igbo mans house in lagos, thats why you are so mad.

Me, a tenant in an Igbo man's house?

Do they even have house at all? Bunch of noise makers.

Some of us are blessed from our forefathers generation.

saintikechi:
am sure you are a tenant in lagos, and your boss at work is an igbo man.

No wonder you are mad.

Your father's father cannot lace my shoes.

You think everybody is like you people that entered lagos with red mud tainted sandals.

tupem:
see as your blood dey hot! wa a kan Ku ni kekere! oloriburuku ashieda eyan!

I don't have time for mega weres like you.

tupem:
your reply doesn't make sense like you! and please I am not Igbo! olodo!

You can be an hoten tot, who bloody cares? If you like you can come from Timbuktu, Kalamazoo or Kandahar, that is your head ache, ashiere.

OAM4J:
If these young visionary leaders are presently unknown, they had better start speaking out from now so people can access them before the next general election. 4 years is just to short for some unknown and untested people to be a threat to a sitting government the way APC was to PDP.

to be candid, I don't know any for now.

They must be a set of people that are passionate and committed to good governance and not chop-I-chop politics.

There can only be "One Nigeria" when there is mutual respect.

You can not be living in my region and be insulting me and you expect me to be hailing you.

They can do that to the minority ethnic groups in SS, definitely not yorubas.

This are people that built empires, fought wars and conquered lands, that some people's forefathers never achieved. They will now call the sweat of my forefathers No Man's land and I should be applauding them because of ONE NIGERIA.

Mba, it can't work that way. Respect and being accommodating must be reciprocated in full measures.

ilugunboy:
I'm gonna buy you a beer one day..honestly I will.

Anytime Bro.

We can lock it down at the Place on Admiralty.

ilugunboy:
Unfortunately I don't think PDP will be able to rise up again if the voting pattern of the Presidential election also reflects in the governorship election.

We may just pray for a fresh party to come along as opposition....

PDP can not. A new formidable party will emerge out of this seemingly over crowded APC with time.

The only hope for PDP is for them to rejuvenate the party with young and visionary leaders that can appeal to the youths.

This is not good for our democracy. We need a vibrant and dogged opposition for us to continue to enjoy good governance.

We all witnessed the miracle GEJ did within 6weeks based on strong opposition.

It clearly shows politicians are only interested in their pockets and self interests.

poppincash:
how can you ever say the number of yeas doesnt matter? do you know how much of oil mojey had gone inti lagos alone? 77 years is a lot to be a capital. hong kong was under the british for 100 years and look at them today. can the chinese now say they made hong kong what it is today?

Wonders shall never end.

So, the argument has changed from the number of cities that were former FCTs to the number of years now?

As usual, you always think you are smarter than others, whereas others can see through your folly.

Sweetlemon:
Way out of proportion. Come to think of it, in the video of the speech we saw the Igbos there clapping for the Oba. Meaning they were all goofing around, so this tape is not very surprising. I always knew something was fishy somewhere.

When we call them emotional human beings, they always refute it. This is a classical example.

People should endeavour to listen to what is posted here and deduce the atmosphere and in the context in which Oba's statement was made.

PDP deliberately twisted the whole story to play on the emotions of the unsuspecting ibos.

.

This is very laughable.

You need to listen to the response of their representatives.

They were all in a jovial mood with the Oba of Lagos and some blew the statements out of proportion.

Other contestants are talking to all.and sundry -- be it hausa, edo, anang, ibibio, fulani, ogoni etc.

Why is Jimi and PDP making it a sectional campaign and hell bent on dividing a peaceful land of the yorubas.

tupem:
people like you are myopic and blinded by hate! what makes you think only people from SE will vote JK?! Nigeria should be zero tolerant with small minded persons Like you!

People like you are shallow minded and blinded by greed and covetousness. Why is it only SEerners that PDP is using to put the election on their head.

Are Ibos the only ones in Lagos?

If they like, let them import the whole of SE to vote for JK, he will lose.

It is as sure as daylight.

truefact:
We don't even want to be called Nigeria. But is
... Why do you lot want igbos to part of you one Nigeria?

Who wants you in Nigeria? You killed the leaders of other regions and Northerners reacted and you declared Biafra, thinking you are wiser than others.

This is Africa where people have eternal allegiance and spiritual connections to their forefathers land. Just like Europe and Asia.

State of Residence and Place of birth can never see the light of day, talkless of working

Even Europeans have strong allegiance to their land. That is why a Welsh is forever one and Scottish is one and a German will not trade a grain of its soil. That is having pride in your ancestral lineage.

Only America, Canada and Australia can have state of residence or place of birth because they are a migrant country.

Nigeria is not a migrant country. Likewise Africa, Europe and Asia.

They shall see Florida Voting System on Saturday.

Megaphone:
excuse me. can you compare a lokoja that was barely capital for a year or a calabar that was actually the capital of southern Nigeria with a Lagos that was capital of a united oil rich Nigeria for 77 years? this is why history should be made compulsory in all schools. it would help folks like you. this is from wikipedia-

The British annexed Lagos as a colony in 1861. The remainder
of the Benin Empire - i.e, modern-day Nigeria - were seized by
the British in 1887, and when the British established the Colony
and Protectorate of Nigeria in 1914, Lagos was declared its
capital.
Lagos maintained its status as capital when Nigeria obtained its
independence from Britain in 1960. Lagos was therefore the
capital city of Nigeria from 1914 until 1991, when it was replaced
as Federal Capital Territory by planned city of Abuja, built
specifically for such purpose.

Funny you. You were basing your argument of Lagos being a former FCT and now you have turned the argument to number of years,

the number of years is immaterial and incosequential, in as much as former capital of Nigeria appellation is on a city. The cities are Lokoja, Calabar, Lagos and presently Abuja.

You are a fake revisionist.

Which land in Nigeria was not colonised by the British, even the gully eroded Biafra.

When the British came, they met only sea shore or thick forest in Lagos?

Kzinne:
question is how long lokoja a capital? calabar? from Lagos was capital for a longer time than these places. and also benefitted from the oil boom if the70s. when lokoja was capital what oil was nigeria producing? to add to what the op said anyway i think every geo political zone should have a federal capital. this would spread the booty round and stop all this migration to lagos as if its london.

Another shifting of goal post.

It is not how long but which cities have been FCTs before, that are qualified for the ''No Man's Land'' status.

Lokoja was the first capital

Calabar was the 2nd

Lagos was the 3rd


Abuja is the 4th.

Are they all no man's land?

As much as I love him, his devilish clannish and divisive party can never make him realise his dream.

PDP desecrating our traditional institution.

Another low of lows of this divisive and clannish party.

The Peoples Democratic Party has demanded the immediate suspension of Oba of Lagos, Oba Rilwan Akiolu, till after the governorship and state House of Assembly elections in Lagos State.

 

The party called on Governor Babatunde Fashola to suspend the first-class monarch.

 

It said this was necessary in order to guarantee free, fair and credible elections in the state.

 

In a statement issued on Tuesday by Lagos PDP Publicity Secretary, Mr. Taofik Gani, the party stated that it had also alerted the security agencies to hold the monarch responsible for any attack on non-indigenes or PDP members in Lagos.

 

According to the PDP, which is the major opposition party in the state, the silence of the governor of the state, Fashola, over 48 hours after such inflammatory statement and threat to life suggests that the king acted on behalf of the state government.

 

The statement said in part, “The governor is thus a conspirator in this threat to life and must also be held accountable for any violence in this elections. We have at this point been vindicated about the desperation of the APC to retain Lagos state at all cost including the All Progressives Congress’ plan not to concede the imminent defeat on April 11.

 

“The positions of the PDP are coming on the heels of the now viral threat issued by the Oba of Lagos to Igbos that they must vote for the APC Governorship Candidate, Akinwunmi Ambode, or be drowned in Lagos water.”

 

Despite the alleged threat to their lives, PDP urged Lagos non-indigenes and others to be part of Saturday’s voting exercise.

The same way there was no voting for GEJ but rigging in SE/SS and likewise Buhari in the north, it is the same way we will vote on Saturday.


We await anybody's father's father at the polls on Saturday.

You will see the Florida Voting System with the crowd of yorubas that will troop out.

The die is cast.

U na go know say Shango senior Amadioha in all ways.

We shall also drag the whole of Anambra to ICC too.

This is the end of PDP in SW. They know we do not play with our culture and tradition and using some foreigners to dare insult it, definitely marks the end of the party in SW.

LP, SDP and AP can become the opposition parties and definitely not PDP again on this soil.

Tydies:
And without the IGBOS, Lagos would have been a tiny,formal Capital territory struggling for survival.

Before Igbos, there was Lagos and after them, there will still be Lagos.

You waka come.there without any body begging you to come or you heard that Lagos is doing Immigration Lottery?

Tinubu and Fashola caused this nonsense.

That is why Awolowo was and is still the greatest Yoruba man.

The Sage can see into the future like a seer.

He knew what the antics of the future would be and he mitigated by dumping Azikiwe back into alaigbo.

EUROBOMBER:
Superstar is this you? I understand that is why I am suing for peace. All our people shouting fight, fight don't know the implications of what they are calling for. I still appeal to you help reach out to your people. If Ambode is your man I believe you guys should know how to get him there with or without Igbo votes.

Sincerely I have soft spot for JK but the sectional and divisive ploy he has added to the campaign is pissing me off.

The damage PDP did during the. Presidential election is not enough, they have now descended to a new low of bringing it down to state politics.

Unfortunately, they found a ready tool in Igbos. This might not go down well.

Ohaneze threatening a yoruba Oba on his land is a big mistake. They should have called for peace. No Oba will apologies in Yorubaland. That is the tradition and it stands.

Mark my words.

Let us all continue to tow the line of peaceful coexistence and respect for others and their tradition.
