While I was in Lagos, why didn't Fashola remove me? You're making a childish argument

nisai:
It can be done. Fashola did and you cried and begged. So stop beating your empty chest.

Imagine the great hypocrisy of the Op! Tinubu among Obi and Atiku is far more insultive than Obi supporters. Obi and Atiku do not insult but Tinubu insult other candidates yet the Op is concerned, not about Obi but his supporters.

You think if you vote a man you dont believe in, you're doing Obi? It's like someone saying he won't serve God because he doesn't like the behavior of church members...such childish argument

You were never going to vote Obi but looking for excuse.

In this momentous time for our democracy, it is crucial that we take the opportunity to truly understand ourselves, our values, and our cultural backgrounds. The upcoming 2023 general elections are poised to be a valuable learning experience, providing answers to many pressing questions about who we are as a people.

As a proud Yoruba son, I was raised with an appreciation for cultural diversity and the importance of being respectful and responsible towards others. However, the recent candidacy of Peter Obi and the fervent support he has received from his people have unfortunately been marred by a great deal of animosity, particularly towards supporters of Tinubu.

As someone who was considering casting my vote for Peter Obi, I was deeply disappointed by the disrespectful and antagonistic behavior of his supporters. Politics should not be a war of words and insults, and if you wish to sway my vote, you must do so with respect and compassion, rather than by hurling curses and insults at me.

It is clear that the Igbos have faltered in this regard, and I hope they will learn from their mistakes in the future. As someone who values all people, regardless of race or ethnicity, I personally choose not to support an Hausa candidate, as I believe their past actions have done irreparable harm to our country. However, this does not mean that I must resort to cursing or abusing their supporters in order to make my point.

Instead, I urge the Igbos to work towards fostering greater respect and compassion in their political discourse. Rather than resorting to insults and hostility, they should strive to present a positive narrative that highlights the strengths and merits of their chosen candidate.

Ultimately, it is up to each of us to set a positive example for others to follow. By cultivating a culture of respect, empathy, and understanding, we can work towards a brighter future for all Nigerians, regardless of tribe or ethnicity. So let us strive to be better, and let us work together to build a more united, more prosperous, and more respectful Nigeria.

You're saying what you have no power to execute. You can't even remove a dog from Lagos how much more a human being

nisai:
Stop fretting over what's non of your concern. As far as we are concerned in the West, Yorubas from kogi, Kwara, Benin rep, Togo or even far away Brazil have more right in Yorubaland than any group that has no cultural ties with us.

Which part of Lagos are you talking about?

We did not asked to be in same country with you, in fact, we fought for Biafra and was free for 3yrs. You fought to bring us back, you had it coming because now you have to deal with us!

The whole of Nigeria is our heritage! There's absolutely nothing you can do about it. Anybody that's not originally from Lagos by ancestry irrespective of language spoken is also an immigrant in Lagos. There's nothing difficult to speak a language.

Lagos belongs to all Nigerians equally

Dsalvo:
You should direct that question at yourself.
The Liverpudlian and Mancunian speak the same language albeit with distinct accents. They have the same socio-economic leanings and ideology.

Most importantly, they are tolerant. They live and let live. They are inclusive and see each other as the same overall with issues of superiority and discrimination very muted and inconsequential rather than the pervasively self-destructive menace to society it is in our Nigeria.

The reality is that the SW is a microcosm of the UK whereas Nigeria is like the EU with Brits having similar problems to issues in Nigeria today that forced them to Brexit.

You and your kinsmen should stop promoting garbage you believe benefits the covetous and hideously irresponsible way you Igbos wish to live.

It it time we all take responsibility for the progress and development of our regions instead of having the freedom to flee it to then go and overwhelm/burden others all in the name of 'one Nigeria'while dragging indigenese who have stakeholder superiority.

Such is killing us today leaving Nigeria a 'crab in a bucket' nation where no people or region, regardless of how hard they are prepared to work, can escape the misery of our current reality.

A state of affairs you lot, happy to sell spare parts even in Sambisa forest, revel in. You guys are educated but not progressive, responsible or visionary.

You have to form Yoruba nation first. Can you say someone from Liverpool city is a stranger in Manchester city? Or someone from New York is an immigrant in California?

Do you know what a country means?

cocolacec:
Very true just kike England is for the English and Germany is for the Geemans.

What about Yorubas in Kogi, Benin Republic,
Brazil, Togo?

Because Lagos has been built by all Nigerians, you wanna reap where you did not sole.

What makes you have more right to Lagos than someone from Delta? Mind you Niger Delta oil money built Lagos [quote author=nisai post=121121162]The idea that Yoruba from other states are also migrants in Lagos is ridiculous. Imagine thinking an Ijebu in Epe is different from the one in Ijebu Ode or the Awori in Igbesa Ogun are not the same as the ones in Apapa Lagos because of the artificial construct of state borders.

Great news.

Obi is the next president of the federal republic of Nigeria

K

Alright 👍

johnwell:
No sir, you're misunderstanding me.
What I mean was that he can only win in Lagos.

We will not allow thugs and resources to be mobilized for this election- Bubu

You see those people protesting in Ogun, they voted APC in 2015 and reinforced it in 2019.

They had it coming alright

pocohantas:
I refuse to…

Kwankwaso doing the Lord's work

You've been silent regarding this election even though 2023 election is existential. Intelligent women like you should help to guide ignorant people, atleast among the women folks on the need to vote character, competence and vitality.

Women should use their numbers to decide a better future for their children and unborn generations

pocohantas:
Lol. You like trouble fa!

We're talking of presidential election, you're talking of Lagos. You think say Nigeria na Lagos?

johnwell:
Tinubu will win in Lagos state.

Why are Tinubu supporters jittery?

bigdammyj:
Noted.

Looks like that's the plan.

My vote is for Tinubu.

Great boost!

You're relying on bribery to make Tinubu win because you know he is unpopular

Parachoko:
The funny thing about all this is that

New ₦200,₦500 and ₦1000 notes were printed by the CBN last year even though they knew they will redesign it

The cashless policy is not well planned by Emefiele

He needs to pay for this economic sabotage and also pay for damages to banks.

The funny thing about all this is that, people can still be bribed on Saturday with the old money

Tinubu's reign ends this Saturday!

Obi is coming

Ortom is actually riding the Obidient wave to save his political career

Kyase:
But you believed Ortom, will determine the pattern of voting in Benue
All this millennial self

Its the Nigerian people that can make someone president so if Bubu promised Tinubu president, how's that our concern?

renderme:
Nigerians dont vote party, Nigerians vote people (well except SE dt always voted PDP religiously). People understand that Buhari and Tinubu had an agreement that one is trying to renege upon. No one sees APC or PDP as a monolith.

Who voted Gowon or his vice?

loffyloffy:
They actually did..

Gowon was head of state for 9 years..he had two vice at different times..both were Christians.

Awolowo, his defacto prime minister , was also a Christian..

The Muslims did not burn down Nigeria because of that.

The vice President to Agunyi irons, before Gowon was also a christian

You think voting Obi is doing Obi or anybody a favor?

When we told you not to vote Bubu in 2015 but you insisted, who's suffering now?

jogojogo:
Can you be civil or even pretend to be?
The way you guys talk, you erode the little sympathy some few people would have had for him. Let me see what you will do after Obi loses the election on Saturday. May be another civil war go start.
Learn to accept people choices.

Renting crowd for one lg rally is different from buying electorates, secutiry people, electoral officials and judges across the country.

You think the 10 APC governors are fighting for the masses? You're so naive!

Tflex01:
With which money?

If Tinubu can still rent crowd in this current condition, that means he can conveniently buy votes on 25th.

It then means that we are just punishing ourselves for supporting Emefiele's stupidity.

North will not determine anything. 2011 elections, Core North did not determine

If you desire a new Nigeria, vote Obidatti. If you desire the continued suffering and hopelessness, vote PDAPC!

Obi is on divine mandate. On Peter Obi will the new Nigeria be built and the gates of corruption, tribalism and criminality shall not prevail against him

Tinubu has no path to victory

Parachoko:
There will be no run off

By this time next week, Asiwaju would have been declared the winner by INEC.

True, he'd come first!

Ruggedniggaone:
You guys are nothing but big clown obi will not come second in this election thats reality

Tinubu will never be president

dustmalik:
This is one of the most absurd things I have heard this week. How could the PSC appoint someone who has been ranting all over the place, someone who is clearly partisan and has shown clear disdain and hate against one of the leading candidates for the upcoming elections?
How could the PSC appoint such person to monitor the conduct of security officials during the elections? This is someone who has made it clear that she is supporting Atiku.

Indeed, it's obvious that the cabal will stop at nothing to sabotage Tinubu, but he will surely come out victorious

Only foolish people that will ignore the president's directive and follow that of a councilor 😂

You left the best candidate Obi to support Atiku who's corrupt?

Amarabae:
We will see
Agbado man go chop the breakfast

It is too late in the day for the snake to come short!

Obi is winning this!
