People should know the candidates of their choice before proceeding to vote. You can vote different parties based of the individual's competence. Thumbprinting same party without knowing the candidates doesn't show a good level of understanding of the electoral process. I hope people will think well next time. These are the ones who determine how the state will be run.
Wow! Banky deserved to win. This bandwagon system of voting by our people isn't okay at all. It's not even a tribal matter. Just that we need to know who we're voting for before thumb printing.
That's their opinion. They're royal fathers who should pray for all. Yorubas are in all parties. Each person has one vote. People will decide on their own.
He should gear up and follow due process as is done there. Foreigners own a lot of businesses in the UK. Bayo Ogunlesi acquired an airport there without any noise. Arabs and Europeans buy major businesses all the time.
Burruchaga71: If yorubas sold all their ancestry lands to Igbos. It's automatically means Igbos are the new owners of Lagos. Shekenah!!
Leasehold is different from freehold. The C of O specifies the term. Only the real indigenes can lay claims on the land from generation to generation by way of excision. This is usually based on their history and consideration for public interest in order to accommodate everyone, and provide needed amenities. What you have is leasehold.
Jones4190: Take this from me, Lagos vote on Saturday is going to be a vote to make a statement.
The vote is intended to determine the actual population of Igbo in Lagos.
The vote will address Igbo/ IPOB religion dichotomy where they termed Yoruba as Yoruba christian and Yoruba Muslim
The vote will permanently address the issue of Lagos is no man's being propagated by our Igbo brothers
Finally, the vote will address the political lies and character smeared of tinubu by the same Igbo people that benefited so much more than any other region in the area of political appointment and elective position in Lagos State. copy
The fact is that people will vote according to their conscience. Some Igbos will vote for BAT and some Yorubas will vote for PO. No hard and fast rule really. Tribalism is more pronounced on Nairaland (unfortunately) than it exists in reality.
peepydelano: Yorubas it’s time to prove to other tribes beyond reasonable doubt that indeed Lagos belongs to the yorubas. Tinubus win in Lagos should be with a very wide margin. It’s like another tribe dragging Adamawa with Atiku(our incoming president), it can’t ever happen. Even if Tinubu is not winning, at least he should deliver Lagos in block votes.
Tribalism gets no one anywhere. Lagos thrives because of the hospitability of the omoluabis. God and nature has a way of rewarding each one for his deeds. Vote according to your conscience and based on your expectations for the future of our nation. I am Yoruba by the way.
ANYBODY WHO HAS STUDIED ASIWAJU BOLA AHMED TINUBU KNOWS THAT THE SECRET OF ALL HIS SUCCESS IS NOT JUST IN HIMSELF BUT THE KIND OF WINNING TEAM HE WORKS WITH. THAT IS WHY, HE IS THE ONLY GOVERNOR WHO HAS ESTABLISHED A CHAIN OF SUCCESSFUL GOVERNORS AFTER HIM AND HAVE HIMSELF REMAIN POLITICALLY RELEVANT SINCE 1999.
YOU CAN'T SAY THAT ABOUT PETER OBI A FORMER GOVERNOR OF ANAMBRA WHO THE PRESENT GOVERNOR OF ANAMBRA PROFESSOR SOLUDO CATEGORICALLY SAID THAT EVEN PETER OBI KNOWS THAT HE CANNOT WIN.
IT'S BETTER TO HAVE A FUNCTIONAL, EFFICIENT PRESIDENCY THAN A FUNCTIONAL PRESIDENT WITH A DYSFUNCTIONAL PRESIDENCY.
BELOW ARE THE WORDS OF THE VICE PRESIDENT OF NIGERIA ABOUT ASIWAJU BOLA AHMED TINUBU.
"Ashiwaju also pioneered merit in cabinet appointments in particular. I want to emphasize this because a major draw back we have, as a nation, is the way we are blindsided into thinking that we can avoid merit and expect to achieve great things. We simply cannot avoid merit.
Ashiwaju demonstrated in the years when he was governor, that political appointments, especially cabinet appointments, should be based on merit. He looked for those that he considered the best possible material at the time regardless of where they were from.
For the first time in the history of Lagos State, we had cabinet members from other parts of the country, beginning with other parts of the Southwest. Rauf Aregbesola from Osun State, I from Ogun State, Arthur Worrey from Delta, Lai Mohammed from Kwara State, Dele Alake from Ekiti State, Ben Akabueze from Anambra State.
We also had the appointments of Judges from all over the country; Justice Onyeabo and Justice Sybil Nwaka were appointed Judges of Lagos State. There is no other State elsewhere in the country except in some places in the North, where we have seen the appointment of individuals from other States. Picking people for positions no matter what part of the country they are from is an important part of our story as a country. Every once in a while, I think that history gives us one or two persons who are gifted transformative leaders. I believe that our country has been gifted with this transformative leader, Ashiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu. I believe very strongly that this man’s political trajectory has only just begun. He is a man who has tremendous giftings and God has great plans ahead for him.
I pray for you, Ashiwaju, that as your days so shall your strength, wisdom and favour be in Jesus Mighty name, amen!" PROF YEMI OSINBAJO.
After watching the video below. Nigerians should be glad to have voted the BEST MAN according to Osinbanjo's own remarks about ASIWAJU AHMED TINUBU. It's sad how Osinbanjo got carried away from the REALITY he himself confessed about TINUBU. Watch the video below.
That's a historical statement. He's clearly no longer the person he used to be. Nothing new or shameful really. It's a natural trend. We all pray to grow old. May we age with grace. Amen
I won't be surprise if Datti is also working against Obi... You could see despite all the atrocity Atiku committed in the past ...none of the northern elite could work against him ....He is heavily supported in the north with spending shi shi... Aboki people can never support or trust Nyamiri .. So also is Nyamiri people ...Obi is not spending shi shi in the Yeast and he is getting their votes ...going to Alaba, Oshod, Computer village where his people presence are......nyamiri people also are trustworthy but Yoruba people....dont trust them because they will definitely betray you.....nah yoruba people be the real problem of this county ...many of them are not trustworthy..
The same Yorubas who gave Igbos land to thrive in peace. The only ones who did not seize their properties during the war based on omoluabi values are your greatest enemy. Sometimes I wonder if the problem is that History is no longer taught in schools thereby leaving room for manipulation but then, for some, hatred of others is deeply ingrained.
This attitude and the prospects of a worse scenario, are the major reasons why many who would rather vote PO for meaningful change, are instead choosing to maintain the status quo. Very sad indeed.
May the culprits never know peace. These are people who make things so tough for the decent ones looking for assistance. Many are now so scared of bringing strangers into their homes. Yet, in the past, many less privileged people benefitted greatly by making good use of the opportunities given to them by the rich or middle level cadre.
Now, the new entitled mentality makes one wary. He wanted an increase on his 45k salary. Why not leave to earn something better elsewhere? He also wanted the man to buy a vehicle for him. Why should that be his boss' responsibility?
May they all roast in hell after suffering immensely on earth. Their deed is too heartbreaking. Animals in human skin!
Richy4: There's this song I used to hear in Radio Rivers2.. as a kid... I have zero idea of what the lyrics was talking about but I like the sound back then... I heard the song yesterday..I jumped..It is "Living Next to Alice"... Have you heard that song before?..
Yeah. I like the song...Living next door to Alice. 🙂
Emma1Oj: you think Soo.. guy jus look for one small church that's doing well and fix yourself there. There u will be valued, easy identify and well treated. You see all these so called big man church, no body send you oo, pride, snubbing, show off nai full there.
COD takes care of the less privileged. I'm not a member but I've attended some of their events geared towards philanthropy.
MadamExcellency: Tribalism originated in Southwest Nigeria. All APC Southwest have done from day one is trying to shift the presidential election to tribe, tribe and tribe.
One proverb in Igboland says "travellers get no enemy"
You see those who never try to understand their neighbours are highly tribalistic to the core.
The nation's history and human relationships across board says otherwise.
Staywithbina: when I was in secondary school, holy ghost Juniorate ihiala precisely,it's a seminary school,our toilet facility in the school was close to an old burial ground in the school premises,when I was admitted in the school,i was told stories about ghost and what happens when people see it ,I thought it was a lie till one night I was totally pressed and I came out with my tiger torch stainless,I was going to pee when I felt goose pimple all of my body ,my body sensed something ,my spirt felt it ,I knew I was not alone and I was seeing an image and my head was floating ,tried to use my torch ,bam it went off , I ran as much as my leg could carry me ,was even hitting my head on bunks ,there are things ur eyes will see and when u try to explain it to people ,they will think is an illusion ,that torch never worked again till date ..that torch stopped working even after I changed battery and bulb
Thank God nothing serious happened to you.
The spirit realm is so deep. Only those who have experienced the supernatural understand.
Confused lot. I'm glad that African Anglicans have dissociated themselves from the Church of England right from the time they wanted to install gay Bishops.
No one can rewrite the words of the Bible. Jesus referred to God as his father in heaven.
campbelljosh: That adopted son that survived question him very well. I mean VERY WELL!
The driver didn't say the adopted son was involved. The issue was about him requesting for a pay rise and a motorbike which his boss refused according to him. Details are in the newspapers.
