You do not know jack. If you are from Lagos or on any platform of Lagosians,seen the unprecedented anger against Mr Chinedu, you will not type this.

The insult and insensitivity in bringing on someone like him pisses us off to the point that apart from ensuring he is not voted for, he is not even agreed that he is Yoruba. Which Lagos platform of natives is he and who there is following him around apart from his Igbo kindred? Those bigoted tweets and his inability to speak Yoruba are a no no to us true Lagosians. He already lost and just dragging the family name into mud is what pains me.

Indeed. Are you from Rhodes-Vivor family? You don't have to be pained? It wasn't a bigoted tweet when you guys called Pa Adebanjo unprintable names , an elderstatesmen holding such a sensitive position, just because he chose not to support tinubu. Anyone can support any candidate of choice so far he or she's not a foreigner. Even retired judge Rhides-Vivor's mum is an itshekiri woman..you've heard a new thing tonight right? Just same way Tinubu's wife isn't a yoruba woman but from itshekiri. Gbadebo tweeted and mocked tinubu calling him afonja and you guys generalised him on yoruba race. What decorum had tinubu amongst us? Pa Adebanjo who was called all manner of names wasn't seen as an insult on the yoruba leader nor generalised it on the entire yoruba nation. That's hypocrisy.

As a candidate from another party Gbadebo could even mock Tinubu much more, the way FFK and co mocked Atiku and vice versa. Name calling is allowed in politics. Rhodes-Vivor is surname. You can go to all schools he attended and confirm. He schooled in Lagos too. Where did Emilokan school, can you tell?

FreeStuffsNG:
He is not Yoruba. Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. Those who said he adopted the name of his grandfather or stepfather seem right.
He could not speak Yoruba but can denegrate the Yoruba. I have never seen this before in my life! Bringing Mr Chinedu to Lagos was a horrible idea.

You can vote sanwoolu, ko gba agidi. Just leave him alone for us. Thanks

LegendHero:
Remi Tinubu is Itsekiri and that is also a subgroup of the bigger Yoruba group. Infact during the campaigns, she spoke her Itsekiri dialect and I could hear almost 80% of what she was speaking.

Itshekiri isn't yoruba. They've told us several times, even though we share a lot in common. Again, there's a tribe called igala in kogi state. If you're a discerning listener, you'd understand what they're speaking as a yoruba person, so clear in the ears. Does that make them yoruba despite their history of links with yoruba? No! They're just talking nonsense about the GRV's true identity. He's part of us.

Olabukola11:
With what is going on now in Lagos state about the GRV aspiration and the talk of his heritage as not a true son of the soil.
Am beginning to feel for all the Yorubas that are of mixed parentage. The first people that came to my mind are the children of the current Gov of Ondo State.

How will they feel, I know as a children of a Gov one of them must be angling to go into politics in the future if not in politics already.

Will they be rejected like GRV or the politics of Ondo is different from that of Lagos.

If Adeleke can contest and win without much emphasis towards his Ibo heritage, I think we are going too far with GRV.

In Nigeria, a child belongs to his father, GRV has his father's surname so he is one of us. In the absence of GRV the Ibos would pitch their tent to Jandor(PDP).

So let us let peace be because all these destruction favours no one.

Saturday come out and vote for continuity, VOTE APC.

Let them keep wailing. Amazingly,.most of them.aren't from Lagos. They're sentimental bigots, wailing from outside

sukkot:
adebayor looks like a proper african. Also his name is adebayo . Looks like a Yoruba guy. BraithwIte and koye and beko look like african Americans. That white slave masters blood. Hence their last names and connection with Freetown . Anyway let’s agree to disagree . Hold onto your belief let me hold onto mine. No point going back and forth forever. Nobody is paying us any salary for this lol

Enjoy your evening.

Crimecity:
Train has moved to Alimosho!!!!

Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour is running for Governor of Lagos state under LP

You have our votes already. Sanwoolu did nothing here. Kaabo omoluabi ekoo

sukkot:
so if funmilayo ransome Kuti had nothing to do with slavery what is she doing in Freetown where all the freed slaves are dropped off ?

Like i told you, yorubas always travelled to Sierra leone in those days. It was like a second lagos, like when ibos and some parts if yorubas travel to lagos today.

Moreover, Freetown was much more developed than lagos and other african
cities back then. They called it sarro. Togo is another place. Till today, our people are still there Both in Togo and Sierra Leone. Emmanuel Adebayoor, that togolese footballer and his siblings were born there In Togo This had nothing to do with slavery. Funmilayo was an educated and exposed lady so, she could afford to travel to Freetown or anywhere in her days. She was born in abeokuta, just try and Google too

sukkot:
not them directly. their ancestors

I know, none of those you mentioned had traces to slaves. If you mentioned Docemo, Candio Da Roca, etc I'd have agreed with you. I'm a lagosian and I know my history well

sukkot:
and why is it that all these slave returnees always have that same look ? All these guys with that white mans name. Do you know the white man used to rape their mothers and that’s why these guys with these braithwaite, ransome Kuti names etc all look the same. It’s that slave masters blood. They also always have a good head of hair Afro . Here is tunji braithwaite

You didn't do what I asked you do. Google felas farher. He was never enslaved,neither was his wife. Like I told you, not all yorubas are dark-skinned. Late Barr Tunji too was never a slave descendant.

sukkot:
looking at fela and koye and bekos phenotype and skin color you think these are pure Yoruba men ? Gerrarahia 🤣

You're so funny. Have you seen their father before? They all took after him.You think all yorubas are dark-skinned? Good you referred me to Google. Go back to same Google and pull out their father's pictures. Also Google where fella's parents were born and their descendants since Google always helps you out.

sukkot:
so ransome Kuti is a Yoruba name ? Bros go sit down somewhere lmao

Ransome is an English name of course. Her husband worked with British colonialists. He was also a priest ( pastor) in an orthodox church. Is it only a descendant of slaves who must bear English name? I gues the name made you think he was a descendant of slaves...he's not. All my children have English names. It was common among those who worked with British in the colonial era to bear English name because their local name was always difficult for those oyinbo to pronounce so they'd ask them to adopt a name they could know them by or they suggest one for them. such as Wellington, pearse, Gregory, etc.

sukkot:
oh you didn’t know funmilayo ransome Kuti family was repatriated back via Sierra Leone from slavery ? Google is your friend bro

Funmilayo wasn't a descendant of slave, neither was her husband, Ransome-kuti. A large number of yoruba truly lived in Sierra Leone either as slaves or immigrants in those days. I know Google is my friend but on funmilayo, she was never a descendant of slaves. She was born in Abeokuta. Consult same Google if in doubt.

sukkot:
only a few percentage of them came back pure. Many of them had been diluted and mixed with slave masters blood and spirit and didn’t come back the same people. If you have mingled with many people with these names like I have you will sense from their spirit that they are not Yoruba. I have mingled with many Vaughan’s, Shosilva, dasilvas, bank Anthony, Doherty, bucknors etc and they are not typical Yoruba . A good example is fela, he has that tainted slave master blood as his family is traced back to slave returnees . When you look at fela and his behavior is that a normal omoluabi karo o jire spirit ? Wearing pant upanda and smoking igbo from morning to night and being an anarchist and a rebel and wearing dog chain around his neck. Don’t get me wrong I like the man but my point is made . That tainted white mans blood and spirit in them makes them different. Their outlook is different

Please stop lying. Fela Anukulapo Kuti was never a slave descendant. His dad was a reverend, born in abeokuta. The few yorubas who came back had English or Portuguese names added to their yoruba names. They came back home asking for their people. I know of Babington Macaulay too. He was given that name by his slave master but still retained it . He spoke Yoruba like locals when he came back, Da Roca too, the first Yoruba millionaire. Those who chose to remain there are in Cuba and brazil today and till tiday, they still celebrate our cultures. They also worship ifa till today. Nigerian government and Yoruba leaders always grace their festivals in Brazil via MOFA as a means of identifying with them. No foreigner came to lagos to integrate after the slave trade was abolished.

sukkot:
all those are sierra leone and liberian and african american and brazilian slave returnees who integrated into yoruba. their spirit is not yoruba

Was yoruba not among their names? Was Bishop ajayi crowther not yoruba who also returned home? Is ajayi an English name? What of Habert macaulay, didn't he include his name? They bear the name their slave masters gave them whilst still retaining their yoruba names when they came back. Don't forget they all still spoke yoruba upon return, nothing changed

Merch:
Tinubu surrounded himself with too many ungrateful people, imagining this ugly woman that jagaban brought into politics sef dey call tinubu tyrant

Who brought tinubu into politics? Had pa ayo banjo and late pa adesanya not endorsed tinubu to run under their party AD in 1999, nobody would have known anything like bola tinubu. He played a smart one on the afrnifere after using them to gain power and abandoned AD and formed AC. You don't want to trust someone of his calibre for anything. Handling over power to him come may is very dicey. Just watch

advanceDNA:
Funny guy ... is tinubu not an immigrant from osun... has he not ruled lagos??

That was a simple English I guess. He said imagine people from Osun ( e.g tinubu)...he included him

Parachoko:
I hope we no go dey hear wailing of rigging on Saturday evening

We won't even allow what happened on the 25th Feb repeat itself this time. Everyone would be well guarded. LP won far more than what was declared in lagos.

sukkot:
bucknor dont sound yoruba

Our names are mixed with English and yoruba. Anything less than that is fake lagosian.

Rhodes-Vivor
Docemo( called Dosunmu in yoruba)
Elsie
Nelson
Bank-Anthony
Johnson
Williams
Pearce
Lawson
Bucknor
...and the Muslims amongst us are badrus, dawodu or dawood. Etc

Gossiphub:
Imagine immigrants from Osun, Ogun, Ekiti coming to rule our Land.

We true Lagosians won't allow that to continue.

Enough is enough

O to gęęę. I laff the itshekiri way when they were wronglly accusing igbos who came to do business and live in our land , being behind the APC loss to LP on the 25th of February in Lagos. Alimosho, the largest LG in population in Lagos and Nigeria is a sure proof, where only 5% of igbos are resident. They'd see another banger come Saturday. All because Gbadebo's mum is ibo, they want to set in another hate speech. Iranu, rada rada. They should go and attack the retired judges Rhides-Vivor too who's Gbadebo's uncle because his mum is at itshekiri woman..they want to be dictating to us how to vote in our own land. Mtcheew

Sad, Tinubu's boys on the loose. Hope the FG is seeing this and woulddo the needful. They're really fighting hard but it won't change anything come Saturday

Kagd10:
The Yorubas will show them the real owners. You've got Ipob doing whatever in your OSU region, you didn't bother to go there to liberate them but your useless Ipob self wanna come to Yoruba land to cause chaos, you will see fire!

Stop all these trash, jumping from one thread to another. Go and ask your peeps who did same ahead of the 25th February elections about which party would win Lagos. They're on perpetual silent mode now. Those who voted LP in Lagos aren't igbos. Go to shomolu, Alimosho where 90% of residents are yoruba, go to kosofe and ask. Maybe you'd get some sense

Young and caring . On GRV we stand gidigba in Alimosho

ogwumgbe:
Take your hypocrisy to the dogs, an aboriginal son should govern Lagos. Lagos are so tolerant that they allowed people from other SW states to govern them while other SW states can't ever allow an outsider be it from another SW state to govern them, who is fooling who? your useless tribal politics will not work this time, Lagos should be governed by Lagosians as it happens every other place in Nigeria

I doubt Kagd10 has ever been here. He's probably one of those from outside trying to dictate to us what to do with our votes in Lagos. Please ignore him.

Kagd10:
In your OSU head!

You wish. Come to Alimosho and count how many ibos live here. They're not up to 10%. You're probably one of those ignorant outsiders who don't have a clue about Lagos. Alimosho is over 90% yoruba, same people who voted LP on the 25th including my humble self. In all the LGs dominated by igbos, King sunny ade's son and a couple yorubas won LP fed house or reps seats. Why didn't that go to ibos, going by your sentimental mentality?. Osu ko, osun nii

Kagd10:
Because in your brain, a governor controlled the military? Talking about who died? Who exactly died? I thought the useless liars said Eniola Badmus died according to a nuisance like you?

I'm not here to rain insults like you or tell stories. Same Alimosho that I know and where I voted and would still vote come Saturday by God's grace won't vote sanwoolu. He's not known here. Let that sink

Kagd10:
It's even absurd for Sanwo olu to be in the same space with the likes of chinedu or competing with him. I mean, have you seen Sanwo olu pedigree? Compared to that incompetent dumb Chinedu with seriaLeone slave ancestor and dumb toxic OSU mother who seeded her dumb osu gene into her child.

Anyway, I have said mine. No useless loser should dabble into our indigenous politics if you love your life, just as outsiders aren't allowed to dabble into the indigenous politics in your southeast region even as you always elect your usual useless leaders in your SouthEast region.

Your useless Ipob self can't come to our region to shit on our heritage which is greater than all your ancestors! The nerves!

Call him any name you like. That's your next governor. Someone who deployed military to kill another people's children at lekki toll gate can't be trusted with Lagos wealth anymore. Can you tell me what sanwoolu did in my LG Alimosho in the last 4 years? I'd vote him if you do.

Propaganda doesn't work anymore as you can see. What happened to all th9se noise made ahead of February 25th when you said tinubu would win lagos and LP won't win a single LG?.

Ę run ti bęrę abi. Ę mura si

MrSegunAdewole:
GRV we know oo

Beeni oo. Ogidi omo bibi ilu ekoo

Wait oo, what happened to their uniforms and caps of different colours worn at the various campaign events with those souvenirs of moodles of rice, gari, epo pupa and 2k shared at each rally in lagos? Why did the apc still lose despite all these rargessse?

People should begin to learn...ariwo ko ni music. Amazingly, the majority of those who attended the lagos rally voted LP on the 25th.

Another banger is coming on the 11th.

solreb:
Who is we in Alimosho? BOS will retain his seat. All those religion/health issues/age factors you played against BAT cannot work this time around. We don't want an IPOB to become governor on Lagos. Let him go to Anambra.

Tell that to Rhodes-Vivor Family, that their son is from Anambra. They have a retired judge who also hails from the family, they'd respond to you. Thank you.

GRV we know in Alimosho, the real son of the soil. Watch out!

LP would soon disown them. Thereafter every Judas in a team. We have our candidate and his name is GRV
