Lagos as it is known was the former capital of Nigeria and as such a lot were invested in making it what it is by the federal government,using the commonwealth of Nigeria and largerly revenues from the Niger-Delta states.These states includes Delta,Rivers,Cross-Rivers,Bayelsa,Akwa-Ibom,Edo,Abia,Imo,Ondo.
However,the capital statue has long been shifted to Abuja but yet many Nigerians still see it as home and home it is.Back to the topic,who is a Lagosian.A Lagosian,is any Nigerian who is born or lives in Lagos,pays his taxes as at when due,has a meaningful source of income,obeys constituted authorities and contributes to the development of Lagos,regardless of what part of Nigeria he or she is from.
Then this brings to mind the question,who is a true indigene of Lagos, in 'Nigerian context'?In Nigerian context an indigene of Lagos is not a man who was born in Lagos but a man whose father is originally a native of that area,whose origin can be traced to Lagos or as its called in local parlance,'a son of the soil'.So going by this description,you will find out that most people that shout on top of their voices claiming Lagos,are not even from Lagos.
For example,Bola Tinubu a former governor of Lagos is from Iragbiji in Osun State,Akin Ambode presently contesting for Lagos state governorship is from Ilaje in Ondo State.This clearly means that both are not indigenes of Lagos,just like most other people in Lagos eg Hausas,Igbos,Urhobos,Fulanis etc
A true indigene of lagos is the PDP contestant Jimi Agbaje who is from Ikorodu in Lagos state and this explains why he seems to be more popular with the common man in the street and most indigenous Lagosians.
In many quarters,there is call for a true indigene of Lagos to rule Lagos state as it is obtainable in other states.
God Bless Nigeria.
Lagosians must vote wisely
A true indigene deserves to govern Lagos this time around.

As wise africans will say,the shameless Oba 'brought an ant infested wood into his house,he should expect lizards'.

These days you become an instant hero if you can say something about Igbos.....the wise chinese quote 'it takes you to be more important for others to discuss you'.
Now the oil mafians has resurfaced and the present condition on top is friendly,those who have benefited from this contraption called Nigeria and are only united by Oil has landed in a familiar terrain to continue the scavenging of the commonwealth of the people.

GNS Pwajok,ride on,we all love your person,vibrant,purpose driven,a man of intergrity,a wizard of persuation and a man of the people.....A great SMOBA,A great JOSITE!
Vote GNS pwajok
vote PDP.

omololu2020:
men ibos are comedian,,,agbaje and ambode are both yoruba men.agbaje is from ikorodu,while ambode is a yoruba man,so I av no problm wit u votin a yoruba man.but my question is dat why do d ibo candidate under apga also endorse Ambode wit oda 9 political parties in lagos,why can't u guys vote him as d governor of lagos state,cos ibos are d majority

its nt necessary,we dont want you yorubas to go on mass suicide,we already have some house of REPs seats for now and by next electn,we will go for governorship and senate...small by small we are getting their.

austinvsb1:
Man, the cat has already been let out of the bag, I was walking by a newspaper stand today where an Igbo boy was beaten mercilessly and almost stabbed in agege for talking ill about oba akiolu. But for a timely intervention by policemen of the station by pencinema roundabout, it would have been another story.

What I am trying to say is, there is so much tension everywhere in lagos now than I have ever witnessed and I blame the pdp and igbos for allowing themselves to be used as pawns. Now the atmosphere in tensed! People are angry!! Only God can calm nerves nw as this might really blow out of proportion.

and you are nt even ashamed to open your mouth and say this nonsense,that a community of Yoruba cowards fought an Igbo guy,whom one on one can waste each of them in seconds.Yet you celebrated your coward and slippery brothers,dont forget that Tinubu and Fashola started this whole thing when they deported some Igbos,so stop mentioning PDP,why do you cowards always blame others for your gross stupidity.

Eshinwaju:
Yiboe don't like yoruba....so dey will vote jaykay...becos dey r jealous Pipul who want lagos to fail....,like d PDP failed in d SE....

how can Igbos want Lagos to fail,a lagos they invested in,even more than Yorobbers,dont forget Lagos is no mans land,Tinubu from Ogun governed Lagos,Igbo Reps,delta Rep all representing Lagos.Nobody Owns it,so nobody wish it evil.

The governor is right,let them wait until he assumes office as a VP....but i wonder if any reasonable southern Kaduna or even Northern Kaduna man will vote El-rufai,the fanatical midget that brought down the houses of poor Nigerians in Abuja and sent them to the streets as refugee,he must pay for his sins.

soe:
Truth be told....until JK started his campaign, Lagos didnt have Igbos, Yorubas or Hausas. All she had were Lagosians. The hussles and buzzles...the hard life...the struggle for survival...from the bus conductors..to the bus drivers...passengers...commuters...agbero...bla bla bla...they all spoke a common Lagos language...with the common Lagos sharpness...common Lagos alertness and a common Lagos vision...the vision for a better developed, peaceful and greater opportunities Lagos. This bond had built their drive for prosperity...from Tinubu to Fashola...working hand in hand with a very ethnic rich cabinet...made of pat utomu, joe igbokwe, ben akabueze, and a host of others, lagosians had always been lagosians. But like I said...that was until JK started his campaign.
Just like PDP is known..taking devilish advantage of our differences... Religious differences on a national level, ethnic differences on a local level..and even academic differences on certain occasions...this has been the hallmark of pdp.
Lagosians should look beyond these difference as always...vote for the party that has always offered the best. Feel free to vote Ambode or JK ... But keep tribal diff out of the way...because at the end of the day...everyone shares the same struggle

just may be you are not as smart as you think you are,after your long epistle,you didnt deem it necessary to condemn your Oba who sowed the seed of discord but you ended up blaming it on the door steps of Jimi Agbaje,as if Jimi is not a yoruba man and full blood Lagosian.For your informatn,your Tinubu and Fashola started this tribalism with their obnoxious laws that are Fashioned to go against non-indigenes,including the infamous deportation of Igbos.Pls save us your preaching and learn to call 'a spade a spade'!

Afenifere has proven that indeed there are still reasonable yorubas around....Kudos to them.

English don suffer! Like Oba Like followers...agberos has taken over lagos.

Cowards they are called and cowards they will always be,changing his earlier statement mid-way can not convince us not to vote for Jimi Agbaje,who by far is a better candidate.
We ve listened to the Audio tape and we heard what the ba*tard Oba who is a miscreant said,for this reason even those of us who are undecided on who to vote for,will definately vote for Jimi Agbaje....we know the house reps seats we won,they pain them well well!!!!

why so much fear!Jimi is giving all these Lagos corrupt politicians sleepless night....Tinubu can not continue in his squandering of the commonwealth of Lagos.

why cant this people leave igbos alone....Jimi Agbaje is Yoruba and his candidancy spread across all divides,both the Yorubas of Lagos and other non indigenes of Lagos loves him with a passion.God Bless Jimi Agbaje,God bless the good people of Lagos.

op!you are an efulefu igbo,you are they one sowing the seed of discord and not Jimi Agbaje,you shld be shamed of yourself,you and your cohorts in APC Lagos are using intimidation and everything possible to see that your benefactor Ambode wins....The truth is that Lagosians have made their choice and it is Jimi Agbaje,get the nearest transformer and hug it.

.....jobless lots in USA are indirectly lobbying for their own share of the 'national cake',with your dual citizenship,you better stay back in your America.Back home many people need those appointments more than the diaspora.
And the bad news is that the general is surrounded by occupational thiefs,serial forgers,proffessional looters,financial scavangers,spillagers and megalomaniacs.
His kitchen cabinet will definately comprise of all those with above attributes,in the likes of Rochas Okorocha when he loses his gubernatorial election,Tinubu's boyz,Atikus Boyz,Rotimi Amaechi,Ngige,Kwankwaso or his boyz,notorious propagandist Lai Mohammed,Ghali Na'aba etc....simply put,Ali Baba and the forty thiefs!

....isnt it a big shame that what GMB could nt do the last three times he lost an election,GEJ did it,congratulated him rather than inciting people to kill innocent youth corpers.Yet,APC supporters has been insulting and provoking sensible citizens.Though some of us have accepted the 'change'in good fate,i just hope these celebrations are nt to early.

....juvenile delinquency!

ba7man:
Why do Ashawos love GEJ so much

ha ha ha you just got me laffing and i also wonder why virgins of 9yrs and below love Buhari....is he a paedophile.

A friend who is in Achina in Anambra state called and said that none of their card readers is working.
We know their plans but the orchestrations of the wicked shall be turned into foolishness,APC be warned!meanwhile GEJ till 2019.

ejiro2130:
El rufai go and sit down for insulting Jesus, is that a prophecy or advice??
Thank you Jesus a Christian is now governor of Lagos State. .is this man for real? Does it matter which religion is in power?? What about the many States Christians are in power?
We are looking for a better Nigeria but all these our fake men of God are looking to presever their tit collections


No need to say much it's 28 already. .

you simply criticise them because it didnt go in favour of your tyrannical candidate...Gods revelation of events through a true man of God,once spoken must come to past.Meanwhile GEJ till 2019.We shall come back to this thread in 48hrs to come and rejoice of the goodness of God.

Jang is a wise northerner, always saying it as it is!
GEJ till 2019.

This is the most silly and stupid article i have read in recent times,you ended up repeating thesame old gibberish that clowns like you spew all over.Right now i will try through my friends on ground in some Northern states,to bring photos of large numbers of under-age voters in the North on saturday during the election.
Any northerner or southerner living in the North knows what am talking about....save yourself those dirty stage managed statistics you are blandishing.As for Jega,he is a disgrace to humanity but victory will still come our way.Vote wisely,vote GEJ.

ISIS inspiration.

God this electn has been compromised,you mean the PVCs were printed locally,by a Hausa muslim man,sympathetic to Buhari and yet APC knows his movement,dines with him and can tell when DSS picked him up.This country is a big joke,APC and JEGA doing everything to Rig their man in.
A friend in the north said his heart bled when he saw the number of under age children of about 15yrs down,all getting registered and equaly collected their PVCs and yet the 'almighty'Jega and his computerizatn cldnt dictate this pre-electoral rigging.

FFK always saying it as it is!
MOD front page thingz.

My dear uche,mrs Buhari is a disgrace to women in general,she was brought up in an environment where they think others are infidels why they are the righteous ones.....instead of her using this time to fight paedophilia in the North but she wont do that....vote wisely,vote for GEJ.

Buhari has been shouting that he wants to fight corruption,he has forgotten that 'if you will come to equity,you must come with clean hands',how come our so-called 'Mr Intergrity',is threatening our judicial system.The full weight of the law must and shall be applied.
He forged a certificate,sworn an affidavit,got to the top echelon of Nigerian Army with a dubious certificate.For me,this is felony,it is an offence against the state.He must be sentenced to life imprisonment but considering his age and ill-health,he should be sent on exile.No Nigerian youth should stake his blood for this cheat,let Tinubu,Amaechi,Buhari,Atiku and the rest bring out their children to protest the judgement by tomorrow....vote wisely,vote GEJ!

I took a close look at states governed by APC and i can tell you that deception reigns supreme in such states.The APC governors are more dictatorial,intolerant,corrupt and squanders more of the common wealth of their states than anyother.I thought APC supporters shld be asking pertinent questions to APC leadership,such as,are those living in APC states doing better than those in other states?are APC governors less corrupt than others?Is the cost of living lesser in APC states?If your answer is no,then why asking Nigerians to support your devilish and deceptic change.
Come this saturday,Nigerians must vote wisely and vote for Goodluck Jonathan!vote PDP!

.....all terrorists are principled!Buhari can not be an exception.

........a metador,a wizard of persuation,a man of intergrity,an achiever,a true son of the soil!
Anambra adigo mma.
