The OPC faction should shut up!
The Oba of Lagos stool was denigrated the moment it became an exclusive preserve of Tinubu.
When a drug addict is responsible for appointing Obas, this is what you get.

(S)he is a man

If Wike does not win the election in Rivers, I will deactivate this account.

No malpractice in Kano, Katsina, Jigawa?

MzJackBaueress:
I am yet to see any Igbo man that will want to vote for Ambode.

Yoruba votes willl be divided between Ambode and Agbaje.


The survey I have had in the past 5days:

-Okada riders say they won't vote for APC because Fashola seized their bikes. These okada riders are mostly northerners. Infact,they have had meetings concerning the election.

-Commercial bus drivers say they won't vote APC because agberos keep extorting money from them
. And LASTMA?

-Shop owners say they won't vote APC because of illegal and excessive tax they pay to government

-market women say they won't vote APC because shopping malls built by LASG are too expensive. Oyingbo and Suru-Alaba market women comes to mind

Land owners/property developers say they won't vote APC because Omonile give them problems.


It will take a miracle for Ambode to win. I am an APC supporter but I fear the outcome of the governorship results in Lagos.

But these people I have mentioned do not know that voting Agbaje,things might become worse!
PDP will fail in Lagos if Agbaje wins.

Despite all this, If Agbaje wins, Yoruba Twitter and Nairaland warriors will blame it on Igbos.
I have heard it before that the Hausa population are against APC in Lagos.

There is no part of Igbo land where you don't have a very large Hausa population.
They are everywhere in the east, from Abakaliki to Aba.

But if Agbaje fraternises with the same people, he is said to be playing tribal politics and dividing Lagos.
I don't just understand the hypocrisy.

MalcoImX:
So they laugh 'fake laughs?' They are hypocrites.
Read my signature.

Nervous laughter is laughter evoked from an audience's expression of embarrassment, alarm, discomfort or confusion, rather than amusement.
Nervous laughter is a physical reaction to stress, tension, confusion, or anxiety. Neuroscientist Vilayanur S. Ramachandran states "We have nervous laughter because we want to make ourselves think what horrible thing we encountered isn't really as horrible as it appears, something we want to believe."
People laugh when they need to project dignity and control during times of stress and anxiety. In these situations, people usually laugh in a subconscious attempt to reduce stress and calm down

On Monday, when PREMIUM TIMES asked Mr. Ojiako why they were not offended by the Lagos monarch’s statement, he said it would be wrong to challenge the king inside his palace.
“We will go back and convene a meeting of Igbo stakeholders and respond to him appropriately,”
Mr. Ojiako said.

Isn't this what some of us have been saying? Were they supposed to beat up the Oba in his palace? Actually not up to 3 people laughed at that statement and the greetings came from those sitting besides the Oba, probably his Yoruba aides.
People laugh fake laughs at times to mask their anger in peculiar situations.

dunkem21:
Matured man, bundle dem for trailer so that they can register and vote.

So, I go leave Abuja on friday begin go Nnewi make I go vote for house of assembly elections?

Continue deceiving and deluding yourself from reality.

No don't do it.
Continue to remain a second class citizen

Sweetlemon:
Oh shat up! We are talking about the Eze's response here. Why are you so determined to be used as a pawn? Can't you see even in the video that they were all laughing?

That man promised the Oba that Igbos will not make the mistake they made during the Presidential elections. Does he control Igbo votes?
That statement alone shows that he wasn't with his senses.

oscarforreal:
Common, mere, illiterate market trader!!!! That's what you are. The real elite igbo folks won't come here displaying there foolishness in public. Ndi Igbo lack fore-sight just like Rochas rightfully pointed out and now it's costing us to take back stage in the political landscape.
Tomorrow same tribal illiterate bigots will clamour marginalisation. Foolish fools!!!! Must I buy into your crap idea? Thunder fire you all

Ifechukwu stop spitiing everywhere.
I have your CV on my table, be careful

Watch the way the Oba was vibrating and fuming, it wasn't a joke. The reaction of the Igbos was spontaneous, they probably didn't realise the seriousness of what the Oba said at first.
It happens like that sometimes.
In any case, they weren't supposed to fight the Oba in his own palace.

At Imo Airport

I cannot count how many times Buhari has used Owerri airport this year alone. An airport he refused to build when he was in power and ordinary Imolites and some other Igbos had to contribute money to build it.

ilugunboy:
I know many igbos on FB that writes Ibo...does that make them less of igbo?

You argument is weak....and the only reason you inferred how you did is his stand of voting APC

Those Igbos on facebook aren't different from him, they are just Igbo in name alone and harldy have any connection with Igbo land.
I don't castigate Igbos for aligning with APC.

silverdam:
Why don't you show him... slowpoke

Tosin the Faggöt.
14 years in prison is your portion.

ilugunboy:
If you don't have a proof to show he is not..then keep quiet. Not everyone can be herded in same direction.

His spelling of Igbo is enough proof.
Either he is Yoruba or a lost Igbo man who doesn't know the road to his villa.
I am saying this because of his spelling alone not his political allegiance.

oscarforreal:
May God bless you for you good sense of reasoning. I am Ibo but I am voting Ambode

You are ''Ibo''?
Do you know the road to your home town is at all?

SLIDEwaxie:
If u knw history, u will undstnd that immediately Esau sold his birthright, that was it. No redemption.

When these yeye set of individuals were busy polishing shoes of an ijaw man, eating akpu and egusi soup with their brains, they didn't knw it will cost them, abi?

Now their eyes don clear, dem dey cry again...

Make dem wait till next four yrs maybe we will consider them for clerk of the house.

Shut up.
Wretched boy feeling powerful

IbnSultaan:
President Elect Buhari and the APC Leadership are on their way to Owerri for a rally. The rally is to serve as a thank you for the over 100000 votes APC got from Imo and to seek the support of Imolites to Vote APC/Rochas on April 11

They are going to beg and threaten imolites to vote Rochas Okorocha

modath:
Seems,but its not i assure you..... everyone is entitled to their political stand but the word betrayal should never be applied.. Okorocha is a good governor (according to imo people) but the reason he is being vilified now is cos he is in APC... whatever the igbos do is their concern.

Who are the Imo people you discussed with before concluding that Okorocha is a good governor?

Brandnew2:
Isn't it obvious from the turn of events?

No one listens to his rubbish as the results in Imo state proved.

seunmsg:
Bode George is just a nuisance who has never won election in Lagos either directly or through a sponsored candidate. PDP's major strategy is to pitch the Igbos against the yoruba's. But no matter what, they will fail woefully on Saturday. No party will be allowed to ride on the back of ethnic division to government house. And when all this is over, Bode George and Agbaje will be made to pay for all this ethnic crisis that they are helping to brew.

So Bode George, Agbaje and PDP are now to be blamed for the Oba's statement?

Brandnew2:
Igbo's got a new leader.

Appointed by you, right?

The leader of the Peoples Democratic Party in Lagos,
Chief Bode George, has berated the Oba of Lagos, Rilwan Akiolu, for allegedly threatening Igbo people to vote for the All Progressives Congress governorship candidate, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode, or face death. George said this at a press conference in Lagos on Wednesday which was attended by a former Minister of Works, Senator Adeseye Ogunlewe; the PDP Chairman in the state, Tunji Shelle; and other party leaders. George said it was unfortunate that Akiolu had openly taken sides with a political party. He urged the monarch to relinquish his crown and go into partisan politics if he could not remain neutral. He said, “The Oba of Lagos is my friend but we belong to different political parties. I was shell- shocked when I heard the comments by my friend telling our Igbo brothers – because they decided who to vote for PDP – that he would curse them to run into the Lagos lagoon. By the grace of God that will never happen. “He said he owns Lagos. There is a need to draw a line between who a kabiyesi is and who a governor is. The kabiyesi is a traditional ruler and father of all. If he wants to play politics like some of us, he should leave that throne, come out and meet us on the field. “We should not denigrate that office and use it as a political platform to deride other parties.” Also speaking, Ogunlewe said the PDP decided to give Igbo House of Representatives and House of Assembly tickets because the party had accepted them as Lagosians. Ogunlewe said now that three non-indigenes have won seats in the National Assembly, Igbo in Lagos would have better representation. He, therefore, urged them not to be threatened by Akiolu and come out to vote for Jimi Agbaje on Saturday. A PDP member, Mr. Oghene Egboh, who recently won the Amuwo Odofin federal constituency election, said many non-indigenes were being attacked by APC supporters because of their support for the PDP. In a separate statement, the Director of Media and Publicity of the PDP Presidential Campaign Organisation, Femi Fani-Kayode, described as unacceptable the alleged threat by Akiolu. Fani-Kayode, in a statement issued in Abuja on Monday, said many of President Goodluck Jonathan’s supporters in the North received similar threats before the March 28 election. He, however, urged the APC to call its supporters to order as no party had a monopoly of violence. He said, “The truth is that we were threatened with ethnic cleansing and religious carnage in the North had Gen. Muhammadu Buhari not won the presidential election on March 28 and had President
Goodluck Jonathan not quickly conceded defeat. “We let that go and kept the peace but now our traditional supporters are being threatened in Lagos and in many other states as we approach the April 11 governorship elections. “Let it be clearly understood by all and sundry that any attempt to kill, maim or molest our supporters will be deemed unacceptable and will be met with defiance, contempt and a well-orchestrated and solid resistance.” He called on the non-indigenes in Lagos to ignore the monarch and come out en masse to vote for Agbaje on Saturday. Also, the Catholic Caritas Foundation of Nigeria has called on Akiolu to withdraw the curse he allegedly placed on Igbo over Saturday’s governorship election in Lagos State. The CCFN said the Lagos monarch’s utterances amounted to threat and intimidation. It said that it understood Akiolu’s fear of losing the city to strangers but that Lagos has been one of the most cosmopolitan cities in Africa for decades “and any citizen contributing to its economy and politics can be a bonafide resident.” The CCFN, an organ of the Catholic Bishops Conference of Nigeria, in a statement by its Executive Secretary, Rev. Fr. Evaristus Bassey, condemned Akiolu’s comments, saying the monarch missed the point because “Nigeria is a republic and a democracy and not a monarchy.” In his reaction, Akiolu denied saying Igbo who vote against Ambode, will die in the lagoon. Akiolu, in a statement by one of his white cap chiefs, Lateef Aderibigbe Ajose, who is the Opeluwa of Lagos, said the words of the monarch were taken out of context. The statement read, “My attention has been drawn to a publication in a national newspaper where Oba Riliwan Akiolu was alleged to have threatened Igbos in Lagos to make them vote for Ambode. “Last Sunday, all honorary Eze Ndigbos in Lagos paid a courtesy call to Oba Akiolu. At the meeting the visitors praised the oba for his fatherly support for and cooperation with Igbo in Lagos. They assured him of their continued good neighbourliness with other tribes in Lagos and support everything that’ll further strengthen that harmony. “The oba thereafter called on the Igbo chiefs to show appreciation to Lagos State by supporting his candidate, Mr. Ambode, for continuity of excellence as they had earlier promised.” The statement added that Akiolu said whoever works against the interest of Lagos would end up in the lagoon in line with tradition. The statement added that the issue of ‘lagoon’ was expressed in proverbial terms.

So many lagoons in Lagos

shachris:
dude, imolites have being living in aba since time immemoral. My father grandfather grew up in aba and so did my father. Imolites developed aba. TA orji did not attract anything. it is the economic prowess of aba that attracted those. And TA orji messed this up.

Lol.
I can't continue this argument.

cold:
They've been married traditionally for over 10 years with 4 kids to boot. They just decided to go white over the weekend, i guess they caved in to pressure from their so called god of man

Lol, what you said happens sha.
But believe me, Okorocha staged this one.

shachris:
you obviously do not live in imo state. just the new aba road by-pass is enough for me. Not to talk about the new sam mbakwe road, the new governement house building....the numerous roads in the villages, i know of my village, akokwa road leading to arondizuogu....roads that pdp left dormant for 12 years. All these with the free education...dude just go and sit down

You are obviously one of those that have been brainwashed by Okorocha for listing government house as an achievement.
Maybe he has done your village road, but overwhelming majority of rural roads in Imo are in horrible condition, even the road where he saw this couple is in a very bad state. When will you relocate from Aba to work in one of Okorochas's government houses or conference centers? As bad as T.A Orji is, it is still Imolites that are going to Abia to find a living and not the other way round. T.A. Orji managed to attract 2 power stations to Aba alone, it is only a legal issue that is preventing Aba from having 24 hours power supply. Once the issue is resolved, Aba gets steady electricity, more companies continue to spring up there and more Imolites continue to migrate to the place to earn a living while Okorocha the clown continues to fool people like you with propaganda.
Patriotic Imolites like us will always speak against Rochas, you the brainwashed ones can continue to dance to his music.

Nayok:
Chaii, the groom and bride don oLd finis] , igbo sabi waste time

Please don't abuse Igbos because of this nollywood wedding scripted by Okorocha.
