The lady did not call South Africans that she wants to represent derogatory names, none of her social media posts has her being insultive to South Africans. Till today, despite the nonsense being said about her, she has been dignified in her silence.

Go and read Chinedu Gbadebo's social media posts to see why he pissed away the votes that Peter Obi's momentim would have given him into Alausa.

Two very different scenarios and the Internet never forgets.

Chinedu Gbadebo victimised himself.

Ah! Good to know that you now accept it happened becuase you have seen a 'credible source'.

Your logic is warped. To you, because of what "Chinedu Gbadebo" said on social media, it is right to prevent Igbo people in Lagos from exercising their fundamental right as CITIZENS? Translated differently Nigeria against Nigeria tribal-induced hate is okay but nationality induced hate in far away South Africa is not okay. Laughable!

aswani:
So nothing from the main newspaper outlets.

Let's accept there was intimidation, which was wrong, the blanket suggestion that Ndigbo aka Chidimma was not allowed to vote is wrong. Wrong because lots of Ndigbo did vote and that helped Peter Obi win.

Chinedu Gbadebo's uncouthness, general lack of decorum and social media history of a hatred of Ndi Yoruba did for him.

So what action am I supposed to own up to when I didnt stop anybody voting?

How about Vanguard? Is "main newspaper" enough?
https://www.vanguardngr.com/2023/04/attacks-on-the-igbo-in-lagos/

So you are justifying the victimization of "Chinedu" Gbadebo and others whose parents are all Nigerians but are alarmed by the treatment of 'Chidimma' whose South African heritage is at best disputed? Make it make sense.

aswani:
What exactly are you sending me a link from a useless website like Gazettengr from? DID Chidimma not vote, did Obi not win Lagos state?

By the way, where is the link to the actual document that gazettengr are referencing?

Why is it that other more reputable media outlets did not carry this story?

You that you are in civilisation, you see your life for outside?

Is BusinessDay reputable enough?

How about The Cable?
https://www.thecable.ng/lagos-and-the-politics-of-nativism/

Why not own up to your actions with your full chest or are you embarrassed by your base nativism?

aswani:
Chidimma did vote in Lagos and PeterObi won, what exactly is your point?

You probably live in the cave. Read this and welcome yourself back to civilization: https://gazettengr.com/nigerias-ruling-apc-used-political-thugs-to-suppress-igbo-votes-in-lagos-rig-sanwo-olu-back-to-office-u-s-govt/

While I support that Ndi Igbo should stay away from any protest, these guys are nothing but nonentities looking to collect their share of the 6billion BAT dolled out for logistics against the protest.

These same faceless people promised BAT all Igbo votes in Lagos in 2023. We all know how it ended

Those that won't allow CHIDIMMA vote in Lagos are complaining too?

I laugh in swahili

What happened to the 2000 special assistants he created in Rivers?

APC cannot win any election in SE in any free and fair election. Anambra deputy governor defected to APC yet they couldn't beat APGA.

Hopeless Hope has shamelessly switched his worship of Buhari to Tinubu.
Who will hijack the protest? Why don't government focus on stopping the hijackers.
But we know that, just like during EndSars, it is still the government that will send in thugs to disrupt and undermine the protest.

Black Africa and big manism!! The wealth of impoverished many used to service the vanity and pomposity of a few.

Kam2021:
They need to sanction those judges in Rivers. Granting injunction unnecessarily. Very soon if sim card wants to poo,he will go and get injunction, if he wants to climb his wife he will go and take injunction.
But when a higher court gives judgement, he will not obey.
Sim likes injunction but does not obey court judgement who is he deceiving?
Judiciary go use am do yeye wells!

And Wike using the courts he control in Abuja to get what he wants in Rivers is a good thing that should be applauded?
The show of shame should embarrass all Rivers people.
So Wike would rather destroy Rivers if that's what it takes to control Fubara? and you are cheering him on?
Shameful!

There's protest all over Europe, all the time. UN never lectures them on their protest being hijacked. But when Africa is involved, the UN will come with their sanctimonious nonsense! They think so little of us!

Who hijacks protests? It is still the govt that pays agents of anarchy to disrupt protests. We all say it during Endsars. Thugs being driven around with SUVs. Till today, no one has been arrested.

It’s a faceless blog. So that’s as random as they come.

Being disrespectful to someone you were accused of cheating with solves no problem as long as the person isn’t the one spreading the rumors. If anything it unnecessarily burns bridges that could have led to profitable dealings in the future given that they are all in the Nigerian political society together. I don’t know them personally but I don’t think it would favor the egbuson’s or their in-laws for her to come online and insult this senator just because a third party made a false accusation. Use your grown up mind pls .

PS I watched the video and I don’t see the reverence you’re talking about. She was just polite towards him and that’s grown woman behavior

Fair enough! On this, I choose to be put in the doubting Thomas corner. Gistlovers' accusation generally doesn't read particularly farfetched to me. That's how one aunty denied receiving GLK from a former governor until the receipts appeared. I trust no one as far as man and woman matter is concerned.

To be clear: even if the alleged affair is true, I blame neither the randy man nor the libidicious woman. Two consenting adults can do whatever they like.

cococandy:
I’m married. If a random third party accuses me of being one senator’s side chick like that so I’m just supposed to start insulting the senator to clear my name?

Y’all’s logic astounds me

Gislover, a very popular blog is not that random though, is it? And yes, if you are so accused and your marriage is on the line, your response should be more forceful than what I'm watching here. Addressing him with such reverence will be the least of your worry, unless you no kuku send your marriage/husband/reputation or your husband approves the shenanigan.

cococandy:
If he’s not the one spreading the rumor that she’s his side chick, why does she have to disrespect him?

Forget that thing! A married woman accused of such damaging act will not be worried about disrespecting anyone to clear her name.

Every aspect of Nigeria is nothing but a scam!
They don't want any protest so that they can continue to steal and scam the Country in peace.

In no other country are soo few soo rich at the expense of soo many!!

The way she's carefully calling him the 'Senator' show say na true. A wrongly accused woman won't have time for any nicety.

Omo! Iphone filter is the greatest scam of all time!! If this is not 419, I don't know what is.

Shameless politicians. This same Umahi was one of the loudest praise singers for Buhari.
He named everything in Ebonyi after Buhari. We all now know better.

Clearly, Joe Yorubakwe is not tired of licking BAT's bum bum.

IGBOS ARE NOT INTERESTED IN ANY PROTEST. Which part of that does this maggot not understand?

To please his paymasters, he is already setting his own brothers up for blame for what others may do/to in Lagos. What a shame!

Most people claiming to be making billions monthly in this impoverished Nigeria are probably NOT into legitimate business.
If the average purchasing power of the society is declining and you are not impacted by it, then your business likely to be illegitimate.
There's a reason why legitimate and well established companies are folding up in this Nigeria!

Wow! Yoruba is taking over Europe, starting from UK... just as pa Awolowo planned.
British people ronu oo

Ogun should be doing better given its proximity to Lagos

Yoruba owned Lagos > Ibadan junk media wont say pim.
As far as their Fulani masters' bum bum is concerned, they are never tired of licking it!

How did I end up in the same country with these barbarians?

Release Kanu, Igbos will then confront any person causing insecurity in SE as a common criminal.
As long as Kanu is held, anyone claiming to be fighting for his release will have some sympathy of Igbo people no matter how misguided the person might appear. Releasing Kanu will take that sympathy out of the equation.

This is what non Igbo Nigerans don't seem to understand.

When Aba and Onitsha became intolerable because of activity of criminals, Igbo people formed Bakassi to take care of criminals and restore security across SE. It can happen again but NO IGBO MAN will agree to confront anyone who claims to be fighting for MNK/Biafra, even when they disagree with their method.

That was how Buhari was jumping from one country to another. When we complained, Adesina said he was attracting foreign investment.
Today, we all know better.

Let's ask him how much he is collecting as feeding allowance.

BAT says we should endure the 'pregnancy' pain but he is not willing to endure any pain himself.
They are enjoying life of opulence while lecturing us on why poor workers should be paid 62k PER MONTH.

Very pitiful! See as he trivializing peoples suffering.

The SMEs he mentioned are not paying the 30k minimum currently and nobody is taking them to court. Government cannot hide under SMEs and dodge paying people a living wage!

Long grammar short, is he saying people should live on 30k??

Wow! What an achievement. Nigerians are now enjoying a better life because of the portrait.
