The oba has denigrated his seat. No apologies for any unbecoming response from anyone against an oba who speaks like a "motor park tout." OPC should find something else to do. in other news, I find it uncharitable that most yorubas cite Lagos as an example of yorubas being tolerant forgetting Lagos was once the capital of Nigeria. These mischievous people should for once cite one of the core yorubas states to prove their hospitable nature. Who are they deceiving
At this juncture, the oba should gracefully resign from office to save the integrity of the seat he is occupying. The oba just turned the oba of lagos seat to an ibadan NURTW office position. smh
Pan-Yoruba group, Afenifere has called on the Oba of Lagos, Oba Rilwan Akiolu to drop his crown and pursue politics following his recent anti-igbo remarks. Spokesperson of Afenifere, Yinka Odumakin spoke to Vanguard about the position of the group; "We say with all sense of responsibility that if these were truly the words of Kabiyesi, he has clearly crossed the line of royal decency, desecrated the royal stool and violated the electoral laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and engaged in promotion of hate speech capable of fueling ethnic tension and clashes which are against the spirit of peaceful co-existence which we have achieved in recent years. We respect the right of Oba Akiolu to drop the crown at Iga and become Director of Mobilisation for the leader of his party if he so desires, but we detest his hiding behind the throne to fan the embers of disunity which could put Yoruba people in harm’s way wherever they are living as settlers. Yoruba people are too civilized to support the primitive intimidation of fellow Nigerians just as we will not accept such action being visited on our people in any part of Nigeria.” he said
mekme: [s]Whas ths stupidy igbos shay looking for war,igbos have right to their opinion but they should not be threatened but for the oba to come out plainly like this it means he's seeing the wickedness of the igbos to what he feels is rightbut don't blame the igbos blame fashola for firing the igbos and depoting some that's why they want to take their pound of flesh back tinubu did well when he the governor igbos still like ac or can or apc but it was fashola that showed the igbos that showed the soldiers that showed obasanjo that even almost showed ambode when he wanted to sack him when ambode was the accountant general of lagos state thank God for tinubu that interveined so fashola and not the igbos is to be blamed though fashola worked in lagos but a leader should be visionary like the nationalist sir bola tinubu who views the people that you may need them in the future,the igbos should stop vexing and vote for the right person ambode and know that there would be more progress if ambode is voted in and stop sentiments against apc because of fashola am an igbo person and I will not support violence so I understand why the oba is threathening he wants the right thing for lagos and oyanieze should stop giving the oba an automatum they are in aba and they will not suffer directly from lagos when the war comes to the igbos in lagos,there will be no war in Jesus Name,ambode is my choice because he's from apc even if it is gate man vote they want to vote for I will vote apc they are working and I support them thoough am not an apc mer o oni baje o[/s]
abduljabbar4: I said it before. You have no concrete reason why you want him You simply hate APC! In the whole of your region you couldn't produce a single APC senator and now you are trying to decamp. You think APC is composed of foolish people?
APC is composed of foolish God forsaken people. To hell with APC, To hell with your Senate presidency. Jimi Agbaje must win
abduljabbar4: Yes but IF the Oba gets arrested, do you think the Yoruba people will stand there and look at you? It means destruction of shops and loss of land ownership for you.
There is no need to go further. Ambode will win after all
Nothing concerns us with a failed policeman oba. The yorubas can have him. Our only task is to ensure Jimi Agbaje is elected whether the irresponsible oba likes it or not
abduljabbar4: What brought you in the first place? Disobey the Oba at your own peril
The Federal Government brought us. Thats why you dont see us in other south west under developed states. The oba will be disobeyed and NOTHING will happen!!
ToyinDipo: [s]I always express my respect to Igbo people because of how sharp they are, but funny enough they are quick to be beaten by wits, a phenomenon Yorubas are much superior in. Don't Igbo think they might be getting played?[/s]
StBlack1: Listen Pseudo-Jerusalem Igbo jews, your votes wont count at the polls on Saturday, even if a single Yoruba fly votes on that day, It will still drown your good-for-nothing votes. Saturday will expose are irrelevant you are when it comes to voting.
Jimi Agbaje will win lagos, no time to engage touts led by an irresponsible failed policeman
benardnwaorgu: Oba of Lagos totally insulted the Igbo race. Igbos all over the galaxy have condemned this monarch. We Igbos are not cowards, we will vote Agbaje!!! Let the sky fall
Can you imagine a failed policeman threatening igbos? Lets watch and see
Imagine a failed policeman oba threatening the jews of Africa. Wonders shall never end. Agbaje wining Lagos is a task that must be done. We need to teach this "useless" oba the lesson of his life. Did I also forget he must be made to abdicate the seat. Can you imagine how a "leader" is carrying himself shamelessly. All igbos must go out to vote! Security is guaranteed. Let the mannerless oba bring his war, we are ready for him.
By the way, we need to banish that man who spoke after the "useless oba" from igbo land. We have disowned him. Who knows his name?
BuddahMonk: The woman is too flamboyant and arrogant, she acts like the office of the governor stops in her kitchen, everyday she talking like someone that lacks moral upbringing, you can never make out something reasonable out of her words. Her husband governor have turned her to fashion catalog, everyday new flamboyant and psychedelic attire, tomorrow new one.
If there an unhappy man in Anambra State its the deputy and if care is not take the man might not finish his tenure because they have relegated him to the backgrounds, forget those his smiles, they are smiles of a sad clown. That woman is taking more than required and she need to be taught some lessons by omanbala women.
oh please shut up. we don't even know who was Peter Obi's deputy during his second tenure and yet you didn't make this noise. Most of you are hungry cretins who are only happy when you are being fed. I now see your grouse with Obiano is because he dropped your Afam ogene. one of the rascals that jumped fence in the house of reps when the gate was locked. If not that you dance to the tune of anyone paying you, that action alone should have disappointed you. Anyway keep crying, your tears might change something. lol
Demburrows: Now the then reality of things are now begining to pan out. Jonathan defeat was masterminded.
is it that you didn't know before now? Obama was bitter about the anti gay bill, jega was committed to pushing the northern agenda, both had to collaborate to see GEJ out
Well, Buhari the status quo remains. you are not Nigerian leader. you are Hausa/yorubas leader and these are the people that will vote your candidates.
I will bomb pipelines 2moro to express our sincerest grievances.. ....iKid iKid.
Now listen up Igbo guy, there is basically no difference in intentions between your biafra and what we have in play now..infact it would have been alot worse in your Biafra.
Allow me to remind you that Ojukwu tried to perpetuate grave wickedness on Ikwerres when he brought trucks and attempted to relocate us en masse into Igbo hinterlands and then transfer igbos into the rich oilfields where we now situate.
His intentions for us has never been of good..You cannot force a people to become part of you..after renaming our towns and villages, we reversed back to the original names after your war..
Im not in the mood for any kind of engagement, so in advance i want you to know i will not reply you after this.
