Pat Utomi has come out to defend the Oba of Lagos on his alleged threat to life of Igbos in Lagos. The renowned political economist told
Nigerians on Twitter that if they knew the Oba they would have known he only made the statement out of jest and never me...

http://gistyinka.net/matter-arising-he-says-worse-to-me-pat-utomi-defend-the-oba-of-lagos-provacative-comment/

He would have saved the day my telling people that its his usual joke!!! Lots of people now seeing him as a tribal bigot!!!

Baawaa:
That was Jimi Agbaje of 2011.

Do you have the source where he said that......

Baawaa:
This is the fact, Jimi was moved on how the Igbos voted for Jonathan,he was now promising Igbo's people heaven and earth.For Jimi to said if the igbos vote for him,he will make Nze Ndigbo equivalent to Oba Eko.Is that not an absurd?

If Jimi ever said that....then its not correct, Eze Ndigbo wont even be willing to step into Oba shoes in Lagos. Oba of Lagos is a historic kingship
and usually they have a family tree of those that can be.......but truly I doubt if Jimi Agbaje would say that.....that man seem too intelligent to utter such words.

Hottestdaniel:
but not all news you get from headline even during the presidential election we all heard the result from social networks before hearing from jega's mouth now? abi i lie??

Na true sha!

Hottestdaniel:
if you think its a lie then go to twitter and search for #DontDrownOurOrijin.

If its true will be on headline news not twitter

cescky:
i see your surely not knowlegabale about these things...your just following them say them say

yes Lagos is not .....look ive been in the marine industry before, to correct your ignorance Lagos ports generate at least 80 percent of revenue for Nigeria which means most of what is consumed in Nigeria comes through these ports and these have the most money coming through

i respectably answered you previously am not sure why ur coming at me like this... .i wont say any other thing to you, knowing am proud!

and knowing you dont know

The reason is because Lagos was a previous federal capital that's why its port is the busiest, been that way since it was a federal capital. You sound like only lagos had sea ports was only letting you know its not what you thinking if at all.

ISpiksDaTroof:
Basically, Ibos force themselves on other people in their own region, but refuse others to become successful in theirs?

You don't blame other people for your failure.

dinachi:
It is very clear that you belong to that confounding idiocy common with fools who followed Jonathan to his political grave. Many of you who mumuishly Jonathan seem more clueless than him...clueless Jonathan,more clueless followers! You need CHANGE in your life.

You mean yourself. B T S

Victortee1:
I use to respect agbaje alot, my friend told me he's too decent 4 d PDP, I argued with him(my friend), now... I'm looking 4 d decent& intelligent JK dat I preferred over fashola back den, see wat d law of association can do to a man! I wanted to vote d personality of JK not PDP as a party, but now, I see a ... in JK. I knw u'll call it politicking

Vote for your personality then.

Baawaa:
Jimi Agbaje will regret that he joined PDP and playing tribal politics.

Jimi is not a tribalist. Its Oba that is sentimental. He should see both Ambode and Agbaje has his sons (Both are Lagosians) and allow them to contest on fair ground. He has taken side with Ambode and causing trouble for Agabje. That's not how a father should act.

Letter to Jimi Agbaje from a Concerned Lagosian - Uchenna Jimi Agbaje Should Desist From Making His Mandate An Igbo Agenda
Dear Jimi Agbaje,
I wish to use this channel to make this unambiguouslly clear. As an Igboman who has spent a good number of years in Lagos, I am very uncomfortable with all your gimmicks in this electoral season.
It is important you take full cognizance that the contest between you and Mr. Ambode of the APC is for the post of the Executive Governor of Lagos State and not for any other State located elsewhere. Therefore I frown at your divisive campaign strategy of pitching law-abiding non-indigenous residents in the State against the rest of the good people of Lagos.
If anything, the outcome of the just concluded Presidential Election that saw the kicking out of a sitting President who hinged his campaign on such divisive antics, should serve as a lesson for you. But most especially, I frown at your latest plot of making your support-base primarily an Igbo Agenda. It will interest you to know that I have no problem with any individual voting for you, but you colluding with Ifeanyi Uba, OPC and TAN to exploit and undermine the peaceful co-existence between Ndigbo and their Host Community for your personal agenda is totally unacceptable. This good relationship you see today, took generations to build - therefore we cannot keep silence and watch you tear it down.
Keep your campaign open to all and desist from sowing the seed of division. And we have not forgotten how you promised to collude with Militants in Niger Delta to sabotage the economy if Jonathan loses. At least now if there is any crisis in the creek, we know who to bring in for details about the plan to sabotage the economy of Nigeria.
I wish you well and also look forward to hear you call Ambode once the votes are counted this weekend just like President Jonathan did.
Please be wise!

This open later is a blackmail and not from an Ibo person. Show your identity coward your full details , phone number and picture , contact etc

If you are a true Lagosian as you claim, both Ambode and Agbaje are your brothers you should offer support to both who ever win should be supported why are you castigating him. Abgaje is a Yoruba from Lagos state he cannot be against his own state Never!!

profosa:
If you go to the polls in River State and vote WIKE.you are one of the problem with Nigeria.Wike,a minister of education that supervise the one of the longest ASUU strike in history,a known boy-boy to Madam Peace.A state were you havethe intellectual Tonye of LP and charismatic Dakuku of APC.It is a pity that people want to make WIKE Governor in a Buhari presidency.Rivers una go fear fear.just wait till May 29th.

......and What is Dakuku? Ameachi's hand bag. No wonder Ameachi is campaigning far more than he is doing like he is the one running for governorship......Ameachi wishes to remain in Rivers State governance and he wants to do so by fronting Dakuku. Rivers people say tufiakwa we don't want to be kept in bondage, this is democracy. What type of government will shut down courts system for a year or so up till now they are still shut. The simple answer is a government that does not want 'Law and Order'....that is Ameachi government. Sai Wike!!

CharlesPhc:

First, i can't show you one PU result sheet cos i'm not permitted by law to have one in my possession. Secondly, i was an Election Observer during that election in RS and can state categorically that in all the PU visited with my team, we did not see Military presence in any PU in RS. We only saw Military at strategic major roads like Elele and Omoku where there had been reports of violence.

Sure you are right. No one was harassed. Except APC touts send to disrupt election knowing the were loosing.

olaniyanc:
Wike should sentence to face firing squad for his criminality during the March 28th Presidential election.. We shall if Mama Piss will deliver you now.Wike a merciless murderer!!!!!@

Ameachi was the real Criminal not Wike!

Loser! Accept your defeat. Who Harassed who??/ When you sent touts to disrupt Rivers Election and to bribe even voters on queue to vote for APC and they got arrested you went on rampage claiming election was not held in Rivers state. You are trying to relate your loosing the election with this right up right Election was held in Rivers a lot of people voted and you did not vote , you rather went to the poll to make problem , demanding to see the votes so far on a voting stand and you were shown the way out......I voted so did lots of people vote in Rivers , because the polls did not favour you, you are fabricating lies. What were thinking when you shut down the courts (Judicial) system in the whole state for over a year.....You have lost it here forget. Your recent Apology to the people of Rivers state is not welcome as it is shallow and only voiced because you want to buy favour dying minute. You are yet to tell us what your real intensions are because you are campaigning for Dakuku to win Rivers state far more than Dakuku himself is doing. your tactics is to ' always have your way in the house if not burn the house'. Rivers State will not burn. Rivers State will continue to thrive with or without you.

Buhari would provide 24hrs electricity, pave our streets with gold and pay the unemployed #5000 a month no be so?

Those shouting "change" would soon wake up from their slumber.

Did he actually say this Whats your source Bro

dinachi:
The greatest irony of this election is that Jonathans base the south south gave Buhari almost four hundred thousand votes, while the south east that has no Igbo man in the ballot could not generate up to two hundred thousand votes for the peoples general.

Our people has a lot to learn politically.

Am sure the person who wrote this is neither form SS or SE. Its so glaring. Childish talk.

Tinubu should allow the President choose those that he can work with........

Since 2012 I used a couple of expensive methods to purchase goods off Amazon not limited to the following
1: Buy and Ship to American Address of a Friend arriving Nigeria in a week or two
2: Use Nigerian Shops who buy on your behalf and ship at exorbitant prices and +5% Black Market USD$
3: Use American re-shipping and forwarding agents such as MyUs.com

all the above did not exactly satisfy my hunger for original/premium quality goods. Rather than fight with Nigerian shops selling knock-offs or out-dated and on-sale goods for more than 5 times the price on Amazon. I decided to try Amazon today and viola!! they do ship to Nigeria using my GTBank MasterCard. I quickly placed an order for some items and checked-out my cart. goods should arrive this April 17 at most.

My Question is.. How are Nigerian Entrepreneurs going to match Amazon in pricing and quality. Jumia and Konga have only raised the hunger for online shopping without the capacity to meet it appropriately. but with Amazon in the picture.. won't Nigerians move their purchases elsewhere.. what happens to the affiliate marketing schemes and other online retailers like SLOT etc.

How much did they charge for shipping??

The only thing that keeps changing is 'CHANGE' This is good for people buying price of items will drop. Good!!

Wetin be this. When the guy who is originally Christian converted to be a Moslem the Christian did not go violent but saw it as his wish, he later converted back to be a Christians and the moslems went on Rampage what all this. God does not force people to serve him, he says if you don't not worship me, I will make the stones to worship me, he is almighty God and he is not a weakling and does not need you killing for him., get that into your heads.....

OBJ likes imposing himself. Buhari should beware.......He needs to stay off certain people so he can think clearly.

eleko1:
Keep deceiving Urself.Wike the renowed thug/miserable misfit,inept,useless man nor go smile Rivers state gofment house.Jona is a gonna,nothing concern him again in Pd pigs affiars.

The Tout is Ameachi. Wike is a gentle man to the core. calm, correct and responsible guy unlike Ameachi that's shouting all about spreading lies and fronting his boy Dakuku for governorship , trying to force him down the peoples throat. Its no by force and Ameachi should understand that. This is democracy.!!

backtosender:
why are u troubling youurself with that tribalistic hoe?her dirty skin and ugly looks is not allow in igboland

Thank you.

mpowa:
He pain am, why you they call me yam head na?

But I know it is a lie that you are inseparable, everybody knows his father's name, and when personal agenda arises - to your tent oh isreal. As for my people, we don't really care about this oil, we were doing far better without it before they made Nigeria a central government, wealth is in the MIND and if you have men like Awolowo, you will have all you need, If Nigeria separate, Yoruba will not only survive but will FLOURISH.

Remain in your world then, All the best. Am kinda busy now sorry gat to end this discussion. Have a nice day.

PentiumPro:
Why is it that all Igbo towns are mostly made up of indigenous Igbos
People will rather go to Calabar, Port Harcourt or Uyo than to stop at Onitsha which is closer.
Is it that Igbos are not friendly or there are not enough opportunities outside buying and selling in these igbo towns and cities.

Owerri is a place where people around this region travel to enjoy their weekends.....because there are lots of beautiful hotels there and its nice and peaceful and the people are very hospitable. Try visit there you will love it. Lots of my friends around PH, Aba, Akwa-Ibom etc travel to Owerri on weekends to take the heat off hustling life.

Who ever wrote this is trying to sabotage Jimi Agbaje. He means well for Lagos State and Lagos People his people. His people should support him and not bring him down. Enough of Tinubu running Lagos. Other Lagos should also be given a chance. Oba Should respect Both Ambode and Agbaje they are both his sons, whoever wins between them he should offer his support as an elder state man and not create division among his children.

mpowa:
Why would you be separated? is that not your style? To claim other's properties, assuming they don't have anything now, you won't be one. In fact if those one are not careful, you soon claim their oil totally to yourselves.

You are so Ignorant. Unfortunately for you I am from south south and will tell you again and again that we are same with Ibos. Yam head! Imo State produces Oil too but not as much, Anambra will also join soonest, they have oil as well. Remain Ignorant, pride goeth before a fall.

if you don't like what he said you can return to your paradise oo.



He no force una come him land

Lol! You don't even know what state I leave in before running your mind. Down here we have a lot of Yoruba folks living here and we accommodate them well with throwing abuses at them. Its narrow mindedness to reason like you do.
