My name is Chukwuebuka Anisiobi and I am the winner of the very first spelling bee contest held in 2001. I attended the Maryland Comprehensive High School in Ikeja I represented my school at the local government level of the spelling bee competition which was actually a science quiz. I won the science competition and this qualified me to represent my local government at the district level of the grand finale of the spelling bee competition.

I won a grand prize of N100 which was kept in a trust for me until I turned 18. After winning the competition, I acted as a "one day Governeor" of Lagos State and I was also sponsored on an exhcange trip to Finland for five weeks.

Mrs Remi Tinubu has remained very close to me well after winning the competition. I received a scholarship from her foundation- The New Era Foundation for my university education. I also got a recommendation from Mrs. Tinubu which helped me secure admission at the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile Ife where I was admitted to study Computer engineering.

She also personally attended leadership summits I organized as president of Junior Chamber International, a non-governmental organisation in the Obafemi Awolowo University. She donated money to help sponsor an indigent child- Miss. Kafayat Abidogun from primary school up to university. She also attended my graduation ceremony at the Obafemi Awolowo University.

I also accompanied Mrs. Tinubu on official trips to the Ministry of Education and Sports to meet the respective Ministers to discuss the possibility of making some initiatives of the New Era Foundation- The spelling bee and wheel chair tennis competition, nation- wide competitions.

..words from a master tactician and political strategist!
He's simply saying that no matter how many non indigenes who settle in Lagos, are in the opposition, they remain infinitesimal when compared to those in his camp. ("won kere si number wa"
But wait till the elections are over, 'una go see weeenn'!

ibotic:
The reasoning of an ipob yoot is equal to a goat....confirmed....

oyatz:
Their fixation on the demystification of Tinubu is NOT borne out of altruistic desires for any good governance but the need to see the downfall of Tinubu.

igbodefender:
Political leader of Lagos State, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu has revealed that his political leadership cannot stop Igbos and other Nigerians from settling in Lagos, because they are not a threat.


Speaking after casting his vote in the Lagos Governorship elections, Tinubu sought to douse recent tensions in the state which he controls.



“We will continue to welcome everybody to Lagos State. We cannot stop people from coming to the state. If Lagos is not good enough, they won’t come.

He continued, “If the state is plagued with disease or insecurity or unemployment, people won’t come.

He concluded, “Those leaving their states to come to Lagos are welcome, they are not a threat.”

KAHBOOM:
The truth is that no Nigerian can stop another Nigerian from residing anywhere.

Lagos is the formal capital of Nigeria..It has bin governed by different tribes and race since its creation and 70 percent of it was built with oil money from the south.
Hausas own Abuja the sit of power in Nigeria and it has bin governed by different tribes even the yorubas but you can never hear an Hausa or gbayi man claim and drag Abuja like an Osun man claim and drag Lagos with other tribes calling demselves host and accomodators.

desmond2pk:
Its high time Ibo politicians and business men came together to build a first class city for themselves and international community.
The political events nowadays have reveal how unstable Nigeria is for ibos.
Though, ibos have cities that can be compared to other cities from other part of Nigeria, i think, its time to bring dubai to Africa.
Most cities in Nigeria were developed by the ibos. So it will not be difficult to replicate what what have done in other places in their own regions.

We have always respected that fact, and that's why nobody is going on a protest. But you should also respect the fact that I have a right to vote and campaign who I chose to vote for. I also have the right to differ from you that Tinubus Lagos is being well governed. Or did I lose the right to have my opinion simply because I live in Lagos and a higher percentage of Lagosians prefer Tinubus lordship over them?

It is your complex problem that is making you feel threatened that igbos can 'put mouth' in the affairs of Lagos. But whether you like it or not, it is what it is and will remain that way except Nigeria divides. I'm sure you know igbos are already in elective offices in Lagos. And when we get to the level of full electronic voting, it will be a permanent thing. You need to learn to live with it. If not, na belus go kill you.

And for your information, I have every right, even much more than a lot of the so called owners of Lagos to desire the type of Lagos that I want. I was born and raised, live, speak the language, do business, and own property in Lagos. By every standard world over, if Lagos where a country, I should have been given citizenship of Lagos, and that's the case with so many igbos in lagos. Live with it cos it's the truth.

You and most of the other Tinubu worshippers here probably don't contribute to the purse of the state so it doesn't bother you how the state is governed. For you once the igbos don't have who they support at Alausa, you are fine. For me, the governance of Lagos is very important, probably more than that of my state at the moment. We do business here, and are faced with all types of taxes and demand notices for things we know neither the head or tail of. I own property here and bothered that my land use charge can be moved from 50k to 400k in a year during an economic recession. You probably are collecting salary from one firm and paying rent. And even if you are self employed, you may be on the higher end or eating fat from Tinubus empire, so you don't know what those who struggle to earn a living while employing many go through. I wouldn't blame you for you posture. But don't blame me for mine.

And on the side note, if you think Lagos is your land, come to my house in ikeja and misbehave in my compound, na that time you go sabi say all these yeye yans on who owns Lagos starts and stops during elections. By the time you land in Area F, you will show me the Police that will let you off the hook simply because you are yoruba and I am igbo.

chozzy:
Really, most peeps praising Lagos never travel.

They are brainwashed local champions.

Lagos is poorly managed ....

Lagos is consistently ranked 2nd worst city to live in in the world.
It is 2nd only to war ravaged Syrian capital of Damascus

Startup00:
Lol gbogbo iyan ni IPOB abi?
I’m from Ondo State and my mom is from Ekiti. Everyone who disagrees with you guys and your political party is called Igbo/Ipob. We all can’t think and see things the same way.
No go kill yourself ontop Atiku Matter. Even the last presidential election result in South West showed that we Yorubas vote based on performance or how do you explain the close contest in the region.

Startup00:
Buhari media center guy dey talk too�, lol who sabi you?
You wan kill yourself ontop another man matter.
You steal person food and you no want Make he cry or shout.

LastSurvivor11:
You still don't have sense, I said richest tribe in Nigeria not richest people, why can't you ask Google simple thing rather than exposing ignorance

BaaleOko:
I understand your pain, when you're done crying... Locate the closest rope close to you, form a noose with it enough to fit on your cone head and circumference of your scrawny poverty stricken neck, recite the Quoran to appease your pedophile prophet for all the frustrations and hate in your accursed life... And then do the needful while a benevolent Igbo man somewhere will pay for your funeral rites and feed your pathetic family.

crackhouse:
the worst is that they will continue selling pure water and minerals until he leave office, now how does this govt affect their lives?. Look at how he's waving at them. He don't even care to look at the people he's waving at.

UnchangeableGod:
Stop the crap. That is window dressing my friend. You forgot the Oshiomholes, the Amaechis, the Tinubus, the Fasholas, the Babachir Lawals, the Timipre Silvas, the Orji Uzor Kalus, the bribe taking Gandujes, the pensions man to mention but a few are enjoying government protection and sponsorship. I don't know about IPOBs. I am in love with justice, equity and fairness. You seem in love with injustice and hypocrisy and use 'IPOBS' to deflect the point. Your EFCC oga's message is clearly understood. The current president will not be there forever!

You have forgotten the pillars of Jonathan government so soon?
