Let's see how that position holds, in few weeks they'll all be decamping one after the other.
But what happened to APGA now? an appellate of PDP?

I think you guys are starting what you can't finish in Lagos. Now, the searchlight is now turned on you. How foolish!!!
As stupid as the Oba's statement was, he only said what he believed whilst carried away by personal sentiment, he didn't say he'll push anybody into the lagoon. How does this constitute a threat?
Didn't Obi of Onitsha place curse on APC for holding a campaign on one of your fictitious ceremonies.
I think you are taking your belligerence and bully-like attitude too far.
All of your bloc votes for Agbaje will not make him win.
Saturday is around the corner, i hope you won't regret your silly rants then.

Here is one reasonable one of you:
Onyebuchi Ememanka writes and I reason along with him ~
What is the principal interest of the Igbos in Lagos? What do we seek to achieve in our sojourn here? My
take is simple. We seek a prosperous Lagos that is economically viable, peaceful....a mini Nigeria of sorts
where all people are able to live and pursue their livelihood without let or hinderance. As a people that thrive
on commerce, Igbos want a Lagos where there are government policies that promote the growth of
commerce and business. A Lagos where government builds roads, bridges, hospitals and is generally alive
to their duties. Education is free in Lagos and our children enjoy this. No Igbo child has been sent away
from any public school in Lagos. Lagos state government pays WAEC and NECO fees for all students in
Lagos....our children enjoy this too.
What do we really want in Lagos? The truth is that we are strangers here. Lagos belongs to some people,
just like Onitsha and Aba. Let's not carry on as if this place is a no man's land. It is not. All of a sudden,
Jimi Agbaje has become an Igboman....we have adopted him as our son.....the same way we adopted
President Jonathan in the last election against our strategic interest as a people...a decision that has left us
in serious political confusion and our senators begging to be admitted into the APC.
What is the difference between Jimi Agbaje and Akinwumi Ambode? Is any of them Igbo? What is our
problem? I believe that we have a fair share here. We live in peace unlike our people in the North. I don't
think there are more Igbos in Lagos than there are in Kano, yet we live peacefully here. Yorubas are highly
politically sophisticated people and they understand that it us better for them to have a government in
Lagos that belongs to the same party as the party at the centre. Igbos cannot love Lagos more than
Yorubas. This is their land. If anything happens here now, we will all leave and return home. These people
own here...this is their home and we must respect their feelings. Every person living in Lagos wants more
federal presence in Lagos. We want a 4th mainland bridge, we want so many other things that the federal
government can do. In the years past, Lagos hasn't enjoyed much federal intervention because of political
party differences. Now they have that chance and we want to spoil it for them by being more catholic than
the pope. Let everybody vote any candidate he wants but I reject any collective Igbo move to vote against
the strategic interests of the people who own the land where we live and make our living. Lagos has been
good to our people. We have succeeded here in business and the professions.
Let's not disrespect the people of Lagos. I will not support any move that will create an impression that
Igbos are against the interest of the owners of Lagos. Nobody has murdered our people here like what we
see in the north. Lagos remains the only state in this country where Igbos hold top government positions.
Even our neighbors and brothers, Rivers State have never given us that privilege despite our huge
population and presence there. As for me, I want Lagos to progress and on Saturday, I will proudly vote for
Akinwumi Ambode, you don't have to.

The good thing about all of these defection is that when EFCC, ICPC start picking them up for their atrocities,....nobody will accuse Buhari of witch-hunting because they are his party members. Kontunuu!

LMAyedun:
Lucky Igbinedion, James Ibori, DSP Alamieyeseigha, Demeji Bankole all defected to the Ruling APC.



Change is here.

You even suck at lying!
shuoooooo, na from UK prison Ibori defect to APC?

This is really a bachelor degree thesis? no wonder na so so olodos full here.

Waiting for the police to do what? it's a shameful and disgusting act, agreed....but, is it a crime in our law

Great! just let us have the election freely, fairly and peacefully. The real poll will unravel.
Make una dey lick sugar to cure gloominess

Too much brain dead tribalistic idiots in Nigeria!

That tells you their gods are different, shine your eyes Nigerians.

KanwuliaJara:
OSIN-BADE!

I don't know what caves all these 'LEAN AND HUNGRY-LOOKING' dudes crawl out of!

OP! Lunch na 'cup of tea' for your village?
You must be a 'waiter' in that hotel!
Oya KONTINU!

That's why they wouldn't be needing 4 billion Naira per year for feeding, the Jonathans too chop, see as all of them be!

Some of our igbo folks are just bitter with raging hatred! on top some 1966 war.
Hit the reset button of your brain na!

Dem get sense pass Jona now!

We have had a good dose of his gridluck!
It's time to move on madam Eunice.

But, does that absolve GEJ of corruption? All of these agbaaya Obas, that's how they all are across the country. Ooni of Ife is the worst, he's any government in power. I'll exclude Awujale though!

"Given the sterling educational qualifications of his chief rival, President Goodluck Jonathan who holds a doctorate degree in zoology"
Do a google search of "Goodluck Jonathan", you will not find a single published thesis he either wrote or co-wrote. I question his doctoral degree.
He doesn't sound like a first degree holder in all of his interviews i have seen.

Shan George, i can understand you are used to ex-leaders with ill-gotten wealth, but that isn't the normal and right thing. Buhari's principle wouldn't let him steal like the others, so that is actually good. Soon, you'll experience what good governance is again.

bossmini84:
If this is true then this changes everything. But I would neva support the man buhari.

You will soon be delivered from hatred IJN!

And i say STFU!
You're fake!

eemalex:
Am not a supporter of politics be it APC or PDP. But am suspicious about this Buhari of a man attaching himself to the Christians taking pictures with them all around, what point is he trying to prove. That he has converted to Christianity or he just needs their support just for now.
Meanwhile I haven't seen any FP pics of Buhari with some Muslims clerics and co..
Anyway None of My Business Tho

Maybe it's because he won't be a president of only Muslims but of all religious faith....unlike Jonathan that hob-nob will all the pastors of the country. Buhari hasn't frolicked with Muslim leaders yet you accuse him of being a fundamentalist.
If only you guys can shelve aside the sentiments that has beclouded you, you'll think straight.

customized13:
APC is trying everything they can to get to ndigbo, they need southeast if they want to win the election.

Its a pity mbaka is now a tool for political manipulation.

You don't think SW, NW, NE, some of SS votes are enough to win. I sorry for SE, they are not pitching their tent with wisdom.

Great news! Pastor Oyedepo, please head out to Sambisa forest and stare at dem boko boys, kill them all with your anointed eyes.
Mtchew!!!
Just remember do your will before you go.

This man don go drink again!

Make the gal just release one correct mess in the process! those pervs for saka!

Lobatan!
GEJ shitting in his pants!

Haba, madam!
OPEC presidency is a rotational position amongst member nations. If a goat is our Petroleum minister when it's Nigeria's turn, then the goat becomes the president. The real influential position in OPEC is the Secretary general that requires an election. Stop promoting mediocrity Diezani.
I'm sure the Jonathan TANmites are ready to list it as an achievement of this rogue administration. Mtchew!

If you keep supporting criminal politicians based on tribe and religion, this is what will keep happening to you.

Crystalline:
Would he have petitioned if after all these flaws, he won? Smh

Why has most Nigerians brain attuned to abnormality and irregularity? Are you in agreement with the way the primary was reportedly conducted?

icedbreez:
Mr Bruce if u like carry our mandate go represent lagos state.
I dont like you, never have. You are a mega businessman employing thousands of staff but never from your home state. When its convenient for you, you claim bayelsa to contest for Governor and the Senate but when its time to open new radio stations, TV stations and SilverBird Galleria you go to everywhere except Yenagoa.
All your family non resides in Yenagoa non do business here and our people are roaming the streets while you do the "Big Car Owner" in lagos, If oga Dokpesi that is not even from here can Open a Radio Station RayPower and TV station AIT to bring the news to us and also employ our people then there is no challenge stopping you that you can tell me. You remember bayelsa state only when there is Election or a Govt Contract to be had. I repeat I dont like you and your saving grace is the fact there is no APC in Bayelsa state if not there is nothing that would have given me greater joy than to see you fail in the general elections.

Is your community business friendly? Most of the youths and community wrapper tying elders are militants that lay siege at offices of companies to demand unfair payments for no services rendered. The present government have popularized militancy to be very lucrative that nobody wishes to work. Think deeply and you'll agree that this is in fact the inconvenient truth.

drkay:
Congrat ben, more money to ur already fat bank account.

When you have this mindset, why then do you expect them to do anything other than looting. Nigerians' psyche have been messed up, they have come to accept the abnormality as the normal!

I hate it when they bring God to their dirty politics!

kokoA:
She has the right to aspire for any office in the land though. I wish her well and hope she try her best to salvage what is left of her family name.

No problem, her own children sef go also rule your children and it'll continue for multiple generations down the line. One thing is to be stupid, the other thing is to go ahead and advertise it!
