When some of us talk about these things ; it sounds like wailing to some people but some of us say these things in order not to have a repeat of some sad incidents that happened in the past .

This profiling of people of a thing happened to my dad’s elder brother ; Alhaji the night MKO Abiola’s death was announced . The man is a muslim and was on his way home that evening when the mob action started .

Abiola’s death had been made official and most Yorubas in Lagos went on rampage attacking any Hausa man that comes their way . Alhaji was on jalabiya , Jejely making his way home when the fracas started . The mob he met on his way profiled him as Hausa and already descended on him before he even knew what their grouse with him was. Immediately he could make sense of their motives ; he started shouting at the top of his voice that he was Yoruba o(of course in Yoruba language ) . Some of them weren’t convinced he was and thought he was just a northerner who had stayed long in Lagos . He had to say some proverbs in Yoruba before they were finally convinced and let him go while apologizing and moving on seeking for the next victim .

The next day we were at his place to see the bruises on him, the man was just grateful to God he’s alive to tell the story .

These are the sad events some of us would not want to and do not believe should happen in 2023 cos of politicians trying to win elections in a democracy we all cried for back then .

You dey mind am.
Shey Agbero get time dey check your particulars whether you be Yoruba or not. Your number one crime is not looking like a typical Yoruba or Hausa. Any other persons na Igbo.

Na violence first ask questions later.

He probably thinks those thugs listen to any voice of reason . A friend of mine share his experience at his own polling unit too about similar experience . Those thugs just profile u and assume u are not Yoruba and send u home cos they think u will vote against Sanwoolu ; they are not even mindful that Gbadebo sef na Yoruba man o.

I just hope this election comes and goes and people can go back to being their own government like it has always been . Provide water for urself , provide ur own security , provide ur own electricity , etc.

Theflint1:
Maybe he looks Yoruba

If he was in Lagos and unfortunate to be in the same polling unit as Sisi_Yemmie, he probably won’t be allowed to vote irrespective of who he intended voting for . Na bottle those boys for shook him yansh

Make he dey analyze nonsense

izzou:


[color=royalblue]He didn't even condemn the act.

He gave an escape route for people to prove that they are Yoruba.


Lord Jesus! This place ehn [/color]

The funny thing is he’s an Igbo man 🤣

U can’t accuse him of being driven by tribal sentiments to make that post

Nostradamus1:
This sounds funny considering that the victims can simply prove their tribe by showing their PVC.

All this internet stories

A popular food blogger sisi_Yemmie was profiled alongside her husband by thugs for “looking like igbos “ and weren’t allowed to vote in Lagos , Nigeria . It’s not an internet story , it’s what happened . She filmed the incident .

If u still have data that can watch video, go to Twitter or instagram and search for the video .

For your information, the lady’s name is Yemisi and her husband Yomi .

Look at u talking about Using PVC to verify their names as if thugs should even be doing such verification in the first place 🤦‍♂️

Segedinho we no hear from B-side today.,,, wetin sup for that area ?

Lmao imagine a Yoruba person begging thugs that they are not igbo🤣🤣🤣

It’s not funny , it’s actually sad .

GloriousGbola:
Correction - The red cap fraud who finessed and scammed and bamboozled izzou gold circle 😈

Shey una no go let izzou rest on this gold circle matter ? 🤣

izzou:


[color=royalblue]Why you end the drama naa?[/color]

I don’t like what I hate ni jare . Somebody I clicked his profile and saw his post history are laden with pro-northern agenda . He probably thinks my post is a pro-southern agenda without knowing how we’ve been joking about the red cap fraud of Kano whose influence is only in Kano and just Kano .

I had to put him in his place before some other unreasonable people start thinking he’s just discovered crude oil 😁

Raheeqilmaktoom:
Lol, the whole point was built in who did the voting when you ain't close to sure who did.

Regional parties still make their marks on other regions provided they present a candidate who's acceptable to the locals.

Didn't quote you to get a re-quote, rather, to show a flaw in reasoning. Have a nice day.

Like I said earlier , the person my post was directed to understood the post and the context it was made .

U can shove ur nice day off ur assss .

Raheeqilmaktoom:
It might not have been a northerner.

Everyone could have voted for NNPP. Who the candidate is is a better question than 'a northerner voted NNPP'.

Maybe , maybe not. U don’t know for sure who did the voting .

I was talking to a friend who understands where I’m coming from and not a random person . I mean someone who understands NNPP is a regional party like APGA and the rest of them .

Ur mention is not appreciated at this time

izzou:
[color=royalblue]Somebody vote NNPP for Lagos?

WTF is that? [/color]

E be like say u never see those northerners in Lagos on a sallah day . I’ve seen them
On the way to sallah wearing that Kwankwansiya red cap wella in Lagos . That’s why I’m surprised the red cap fraud no get reasonable votes outside Kano despite having fanatics spread across the Niger

Elder0001:
Nigeria is gone. I agree with you now, japa is the only way forward.

Now u understand the japa gospel is the realist gospel . There’s a picture playing on AriseTv now of a policeman holding AriseTV drone camera. A police man supposed to be protecting Journalists is seizing equipment of journalist covering an election .

These politicians told the youth during ENDSARS to stop wasting their energy and get politically active. They asked them to get their PVC’s and protest with their votes; not blocking other lawful citizens from going about their day to day activities .

The youths licked their wounds , pick their battered selves up and took the advice of the political class . Now they tried protesting with their votes but what do we have ? Suppression of their votes , open intimidation of the would-be voters and physical harm being inflicted on them by thugs loyal to the political class.

What else do they want the youth to do ? Na until they drink their blood ?

AriseTv crew has been attacked in Ikate land, close to the Oba Elegushi palace ; their cameras seized and their staff on ground brutalized .

It’s unfortunate all of this is happening even after threats were issued by known personalities and nothing was done by the security agents .

Spy360:
So let's assume Jide Sanwoolu wins this election. Will he call it free and fair?

Thugs Set Ballot Paper On Fire In Lagos

Thugs have set ballot papers on fire at Tedi, Ojo in Lagos State on Saturday.

The voice behind the camera said, “ They have destroyed everything, they burn everything. Here is Tede primary school, Ojo Lagos. pic.twitter.com/7FgqS1TvZs

— Punch Newspapers (@MobilePunch) March 18, 2023

Honestly we have no security agencies in Nigeria.

Only God can say how terrible Nigeria will be under Tinubu.

INEC got over 300 billion to conduct election , then thugs go to polling units to burn ballot papers procured for this exercise . Yet person go talk say make u no lose hope for this country and continue to PRAY FOR NIGERIA . Prayers wey be say people dey work hard day and night to make sure say e no come to pass

seankafor:
in addendum

Those that can't japa, please if you have any means to steal from this country.. please steal all whether through fraud, armed robbery, kidnapping or bypassing loopholes.. do it bro.. but make sure you re not caught..

I was robbed this day last week.. I don't even blame those robbers, me too I'm doing my own robbery in my own way..

It's the condition of the jungle we re in..

But if you can japa, please japa and don't look back

Sean omo Lile 🤣🤣🤣

Say no to crime ! If everybody turn robber and fraudster who we wan dey rob ?

Sorry about ur loss but crime isn’t the way to go . I know when u eventually make it out of naija u won’t continue in ur old ways over there .

I no support this ur kind message o

Apc/ACN/AC/AD has governed Lagos state for the past 24 years . If the ruling party has done really well as advertised on radio, TV , and social media ; all we expect is for the ruling party to leverage on its goodwill over the years and the election will be a walkover .

What do we have today? open voters suppression , intimidation of would-be voters and even wrong profiling of Lagosians as “igbos” and such they are not eligible to vote who would govern them for the next 4 years .

Some things no just make sense for this country 🤦‍♂️

Open vote buying ongoing in Bauchi state in the presence of security operatives 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Watching the coverage of the election by AriseTv ehn, person need really strong drink to take watch the bizarre happenings all in the name of this election.

They are putting sacrifices in polling unit in Agungi to discourage voters from coming out(It didn't work obviously cos the people were there looking at the sacrifice with jaundice eye ), INEC officials allegedly missed their way, Most part of Eti-Osa INEC is moving people's polling untis from safe spots within the estates to expressway where thugs are waiting to pounce on them, Thugs attacking voters in Ago/Okota axis, people being flogged out of polling units , They even profile people before they allow them to vote where voting is taking place etc.

Omo!

Emaprince:
What the actual Bleep.

This is no longer funny.

Whats APC problem with igbos.

Na illiteracy make those thugs dey assume anybody who doesn’t speak Yoruba is automatically Igbo .

Amigoss:
Abeg oo,You want ethnic cleansing to happen? We that are not Igbos will collect join too o,I don't belong to the now beloved Hausa/Fulani or northerners. I no wan collect for another tribe so called 'sin' oo

I don’t see any ethnic cleaning happening . Police officers shot at politics thugs; a that’s what was narrated in the video . Na security operatives loyal to FG mowed down a political thug as they were assigned to do

Shegzdave:
It’s painful when people who should be behind bars are threatening the right of the voters and nothing is done,just seeing the video where he was threatening voter and the police saying it’s a joke makes me more angry at the police force...

Something should be done about that MC Oluomo jawe

The video should annoy any sane mind and the government should do something about it.

Segedinho:
Otilor.

Good riddance to bad rubbish ! They should kill more of these thugs to send a clear message to the rest .

They don’t even bother to get PVC’s to support their candidate ; yet they will intimidate voters who came out to vote

chrisooblog:
Only God knows when this country will evolve beyond thuggery. Really disappointed but not surprised with reports from different areas how people are being harassed and intimidated especially in Lagos. Lagos APC has to find a way to talk to and suppress the thuggish elements amongst them.

U saw MC Oluomo a card carrying member of APC Lagos addressing his generals telling them they know what to do if they feel they are losing and he ended his speech there .

Then u say APC Lagos should find a way to talk and suppress the thuggish elements amongst them.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

This is funny trust me

Itsrm:
You no go speak the one wey you understand?

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Don J no understand Yoruba one bit !

larride:
No the stat is not correct.

The total valid votes is just a little over 2m. Total valid votes no reach 2.1m sef and Fashola alone had 1.5 out of the 2m votes.

Okay , now I get . Probably the data they used is not accurate

Emaprince:
Not surprised really. I already got a VN on some thugs with bottles and various weapons in surulere.

Me no get any business with lagos guber election. ..so I carry my self enter hotel for ikoyi. I'll be back on Monday.

Meanwhile, come join me

Enjoy my brother

DontBullshitMe:
Where did Fashola see 1.5 million votes in 2011?

Omo, Politicians were literally writing results in their strongholds those years.

It’s called “cooking” on these streets

Donjazet2:
The news of widespread voter apathy is very sad to see and I blame Obi. He has been an extremely poor mobilizer.

Throughout the campaign he has literally been pushed by the Obidients. He doesn't know how to galvanize and tap into the feelings of his own base.

[b]He was basically robbed of his votes and rather than call for [b]peaceful protests and be a rallying point, he kept deciding to douse the flames of his supporters. [/b][/b]

Many Obidient voters are highly demoralised, the energy is dissipating because of the hopelessness of the situation.

Look at Lagos, everyone knew what to expect today, everyone knew that thugs would show themselves today, how can't you take proactive measures to ensure that your base is protected. Why not call some powerful people to mount pressure on security agencies to do the right thing? How don't you reach out to APC stalwarts to get the top brass to speak out against their boys or just do something, anything! About security of your base?

Well however it turns out, I personally can beat my chest and say "I did my best". I played my own role in our own democracy, in trying to change our country for good.

The last 8 years was one of radical propaganda. Let's see where we go from here.

This is coming from u who did everything possible to criticize “peaceful protesters” during ENDARS and when the peaceful protests were hijacked by state and none state elements ; u turned back to tell us “ I told u so”

Peter Obi is not an overly emotional being and knows a peaceful protest following an election he lost will be turned over its head and will likely get him arrested for treason . If he doesn’t become the president heaven will not fall Abeg !

larride:
That Fashola 2011 % is not correct.

Fashola won with 1.5m and the guy that came second had 300k votes. Fashola won with over 1.2m difference.

U interpreting the stats the wrong way . I think the way the stat is computed is such that; like u pointed out Fashola won 1.5m votes and that’s 51% of the total valid votes . It doesn’t matter what the first runner up scored ; so far if u add all other valid votes together and it amounts to 49% of the votes; then maybe the stats is correct
