That buck toothed Suarez keeps shoving his way to goal.

PSG all the way!

3-2

Toktee:
that is exactly what the pdp and the op want you to believe.

A situation where APC refuses to accept defeat in many states where they lost glaringly unlike PDP and other parties what do you expect one to assume.

This girl should stick to shopping and stop posting junk.

What a terrible sense of style.

Are T shirts and shorts a taboo to this man that he will be wearing agbada and trainers in a pile of cow dung.

otokx:
Fayemi conceeded defeat so lets not try to distort history.

There is a clause attached... without any animosity whatsoever.

What kind of substandard journalism is this.

Fell to 2, 74.. on March 8 rise to 2, 9... on March 11, Fell from 3, 5...

I mean did no one teach this writer how to make a meaningful summary of figures.

And who in the world hinges a heading on daily power output?

Goodluck Ebele Jonathan.

The first Nigerian politician to concede defeat without any animosity whatsoever.


The worst should go to Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi.
The definition of political acrimony.

What is Fayose's speaker?

This geriatric illiterate is already giving excuses.

There is no excuse my friend.......

Buhari MUST bring back Chibok girls or APC will be kicked out for incompetence.

If he cannot complete this ordinary task as an oluwole General how will he now stabilize world oil price.

shaddoww:
Don't u know this is the most important change, I want her to win so dat she will set a template for other women that prefer to sit at home and shout 35% affirmative, so they will know dat it is possible for a woman to win election

She cannot win by force.

APC please do away with do or die politics.

Is this the change you have been preaching?

IdiAmin1:
I think na only me sef. The day I forgot to switch off my central heater and left for work, I nearly hanged myself.

lol!
You are honest.

MrKnowitall:
You under exposed primitive beasts. When i was in the military, i had a friend who was an intelligence analysis for the Navy. They guy easily made at least $114,000 a year. But if you see the car my friend was driving around at the time, in fact, it's comparable to this one. one day i was driving him to base and finally asked him: why in the he'll don't you get a nice car. If you see the picture of the house he was planning on buying, and how much he said he had in is bank account... In fact, i instantly realized that i was the broke fool driving around in a nice car. If you people were more exposed to the outside world you would know that some people know how to save, plan with their money, and actually do tangible things, rather than wasting it all on car.

Everything is a matter of context.
You do not expect someone who commutes 4hrs to work to be driving that.

That is just being irrational.

Your friend may afford to do that cause he barely needs the car.

APC wins in the North and SW with wide margin it is free and fair.

PDP wins in the SE/SS it becomes rigging.

APC when will you learn to accept defeat.

Is this the change you preach.

This attitude is going to plunge our country into chaos.

Abia has been very unfortunate with their choice of leaders.
I hope they break the jinx this time.

He cannot offer an apology yet he goes around organising prayers.

What a hypocrite.

Congratulations APC.
Now the Oba does not have to throw anyone in the lagoon.

I just hope Ambode is mature enough to rise beyond ethnicity unlike his traditional head.

ollah1:
we should also conclude that calabar isn't for the indigenes right. afterall it was also a capital sometime ago

Has the Obong of Calabar come out to say that anyone who does not vote for his candidate will drown in the Atlantic?

Or have you heard Crossriverians signing a continuous song of how ungrateful other tribes are to be in Calabar?


Or do you think that Calabar is only populated by indigenous people.

netmillionaires:
Now I will tell U the truth. I will assume that U are above 30years of age and av gone thru the NYSC scheme. I believe that when U were posted to your PPA, ur LI mentioned something like HOST COMMUNITY. Did U know why it is called host community? Remove community and pay attention to just the word HOST. It means they are hosting U. If ur host declare U a persona non grata, forget it! U ll have to leave. Nigeria is a federation. I believe U understand what that means. In a federalism system of government, each state retain their rights only relinguishing part of it to the FG. E.g Security, Same currency etc Each state still has the right to determine who they grant residency to. Maybe U should go and ask b4 saying another person argument is lame.

None of what you have written is based on ethnicity.

No Nigerian can be denied residence by any state based on ethnicity.

CyberWolf:
No bro, don't get me wrong..I'm one of those people here who has always maintained that I don't give a flying fvck about who rules Lagos or Rivers or any other state apart from my state Ebonyi. What I don't like is how people has been creating ethnic inspired thread since yesterday castigating and threatening Igbos here and there ..That Buhari will do this to Igbos,Tinubu will do this to Igbos ...in democracy ..Thats why I just want to remind those that think because they have power,they can harm Igbos living in any part of the country and get away with it..If they think we are bluffing, let them try it or let Buhari tries political witch hunting against people of SE & SS and see what will happen...Haba

That is why the Oba's comment is particularly dangerous.
It encourages ethnic divisiveness.

LAGrejectIBO:
This is not the first time or second time but numerous times that Ibo leaders under the apex socio cultural group Ohanaeze has insulted and denigrated our cherished institutions. Insulting an Oba tops it! After our Oba the next authority is our Orishas. We will not wait for you to insult them. We thetefore are putting restrictions on you to blockade your pride in Yorubaland. We have heard you, going forward you will feel us.

Your Oba made a genocidal speech and deserves all that is coming to him.

We do no want a genocide in Nigeria induced by an Oba that cannot bridle his tongue.

Awoofawo:
You are wrong based on the context you throw your point.

First only Lagos Island used to be federal capital, not the mainland. The movement of the capital to abuja automatically reverse lagos island back to its former status just like in the case of calabar and lokoja.

Let them move the capital to onitsha today, will you people allow other tribes to do half of what you are doing now or you will go and drag Abuja with the true native...?

What exactly are you allowing us to do in our country.

Caracta:
Lagos natives didn't do that either. A traditional ruler did and his action has been condemned several times. Since when did one person represent an entire tribe or ethnic group? Even if he was a representative, a public and humble apology has been made by both individuals and political figures.

We have apologized for what another person said. Not once, not twice. Do we really need to go on and on over this matter? For how long?

Personally, I don't expect Igbos to be moved by threats.

Can we just move one already and stop this Lagos-ownership baseless debate?

If the Oba of Lagos the paramount traditional ruler of Lagos does not represent a people then who does?

Yes he is human and can err, but since he is human, he should also be able to apologize.

For his subjects to now throw their weight behind him and say that he is above apology then they also share in his short comings.

abu12:
A yoruba people shld not attack igbo people physically, but the oba of lagos and lagos state govt shld b strict on tax collection and increase their tax rate. Stop all illegal trading they are involved in, then they won't interfere in ur state issue or insult ur oba no matter what he has done. For ifeanyi and others like him shld not be giving any opportunity or contract from lagos govt.

Get an education.
Tax collection is the duty of the government.

netmillionaires:
Nobody is acting funny instead the hosted are.
I am glad u mentioned the issue of having families abroad. Assuming someone is my family abroad, will he try nonsense with a common immigration officer let alone a Mayor? If someone abroad became a threat to his host, will he not be deported? Let a Nigerian go to USA and start making mouth just because he has business in the US and enrich d US economy and see what happens. When authority in US talk, he better shut up or risk deportation. 1st rule of Power: don't abuse ur host.
Hatred and anger kills slowly.
I don't know who and who were sent back to their land by Fashola. But it is the reason why they are now working against the government believing that's the only way to vent their anger. Lagosians are OK with their government. Imagine someone come from the east and appoint a govt for lagosians, and the govt then went ahead to destroy lagos. Who will bear the consequences? Lagosians of course. The Easterners will sure relocate back to their land and leave the yorubas to bear d impact of what they caused. The yorubas want to determine who governs them. Is it too much to ask for?. If I am in d USA and didn't like their terms, it is either I stay and eat their crumbs or I leave and go back to my country. It is not a must. Boasting that I am one of the people who help to develop their land and that they can't survive without me will only make them to want to prove me wrong.. I am tired of having talks like this because there is no way one can tackle this without sounding like an ethnic bigot.

Do you need a Visa to go to the U.S.?

Does an Igbo man need a Visa to go to Lagos?

Do you now see how lame your epistle is?

Caracta:
Pls don't compare Abuja with Lagos.

Let's cut the chase. Do you agree that Lagos has owners or belongs to some group of persons or group?

Btw, Abuja belongs to some set of people originally. Making it a Federal Capital doesn't take away the rightful ownership but just a bigger responsibility and National management.

Pls answer my question. Thank you.

That is exactly the point.

You do not see Abuja natives coming out to threaten residents to vote a particular candidate or get their heads smashed against Aso rock.

Masterkolade:
all am saying is that the igbos are getting way too sentimental on this issue they should let it go and people should move on. I also think JK went too far

Did you mean to say that the Oba went too far?

I do not recall JK wishing anyone death for not voting for him.

netmillionaires:
b4 u lash out at the Oba, I will ask U to ponder on some few lines...

During Agbaje campaign, Agbaje promised to elevate the Ndigbo to the level of the Oba of Lagos... It is the same thing as saying I will take over ur monarchy in ur own land and nothing U can do. What ll U do if u are the Oba?

JK said the Igbos will soon become the deputy governor and later governor and finally rule over lagos. Will any Igbo accept a yoruba to even campaign for councillor in Igbo land let alone governor?

U allow someone to come reside with U in lagos and then they gang up and open their mouth to tell U that lagos is a no-man's land. Haba!
I don't have to go on and on. Lagosians are angry. A common yoruba man will get angry let alone an Oba whose throne is been threatened... Ndigbo even made the mistake of going to his palace. To do what? It is a big insult. That gave him the chance to vent his anger and frustration. One thing I like about yorubas is that they are very accommodating but ***

You allow..... someone to reside in Lagos you say.

On what basis are you making that allowance?

On the basis that Lagos is not in Nigeria and has not been the capital till the recent past.

On the basis that I require a Visa to go to Lagos as a foreigner?

On the basis that when one gets to Lagos he is accorded free shelter, food and clothing?

Please tell me the basis of allowance.

It is this phantom basis of "allowance " that your Oba has latched unto to make his despicable statements.

Please liberate your mind.

bakynes:
Igbos in Lagos state you don't have to be scared we are peaceful people just watch your utterances towards the Yorubas on their lands. As for the Oba we totally condemn what he said but in Yoruba land Oba cannot apologize to no one, someone from the palace and our leaders have come out to apologize on his behalf so accept it don't take this matter too far.
But this is a call to all Yorubas, we need to drop our liberal behaviour, and keep our rship with other ethnic groups at arms length especially the igbos, until they reciprocate what we are doing for them here before we allow them freedom here as well.
I just heard on the a program on radio Gov. Rabiu Kwankwanso of Kano has a Yoruba man has commissioner in his cabinet. Until igbos start reciprocating this gesture to other tribes, we have to keep them at arms length and be careful of how we relate with them.

You say the Oba CAN NEVER apologize.
That it is a taboo.

Well I respect your culture, unfortunately that is not an excuse. Not in 2015.

Every tribe has harmful cultural practices that must be done away with.
Giving birth to twins was a taboo in Igbo land.
Burying the king with human heads was a practice amongst some tribes.

No one is infallible under a constitutional democracy.

You cannot wish millions of people death then hide under cultural infallibility.
