Hideous face? Baba arugbo? imagine this unfortunate native he-goat feeling funky.....do you know me or you are just being uncouth in your usual directionless manner.....perhaps I must have touched a ugly nerve in you bloody mannerless lowlifer! Ewu

At least I am good-looking, dapper, well-dressed and well-groomed. Baba arugbo, the entire forum has seen your hideous face. It is now obvious why your character is ugly also. It is simply a match for your physical ugliness. Now get lost or go and suck up to the mods by hinting them of a new 'bomb threat' against Nairaland you uncovered. Shameless, attention-seeking sycophant.

arsetalks: Choice is relative. PDP chose to accept defeat and APC chose to go to court, it is their choice.

If Fayose and PDP think they won the election free and square, they are they worried about the court seating? And to think we have a president in this country who could stop this madness but just like he did Boko haram because it will favour him, he has decided to keep quiet. Shameful.

Thank you. Nigeria will never develop while parading cretins as her 'human endowment'. I personally accept that Fayose won and is the choice of Ekiti folks but if the PDP has scored an own goal deliberately why should the the referee (Court judge) disallow the goal and why should the opposing team(APC) fail to take advantage of the own goal and claim victory?

Some are too myopic to put Party affiliations aside to see that this sort of development strengthens our democracy and can perhaps serve as a deterrent to behaviour which undermines the integrity of the political process in Nigeria. The PDP has been presenting disqualified candidate for important office since 1999. They would flippantly wave off or buy off all voices of protestation against this highly condemnable and retrogressive practice. The point is simple. Even if the APC is a major beneficiary of developments, the law should be allowed take its course for the greater good of Nigeria.

tomakint:
That one? he is a bloody hypocrite of the deepest dye, you will never see him arguing convincingly all he is fond of is to sit on his 'Royal Throne of Idiocy' and start spamming every thread with 'I can teach you all attitude' onatisi seems to know Gbawe too well. @topic, Fayose is a power broker and friend of the masses as far as Ekiti politics is concerned, APC want him out.

Baba arugbo pa enu mo. You are the ugliest thing the eye has the misfortune of beholding yet you go around insulting others. No wonder karma gave you a hideous face to match your equally ugly character. The whole picture expose thing has really been cruel to charlatans, liars and hypocrites like you.

You are a criminal-minded loser who does not operate in the real world so my valid point will be lost on you anyway. If Fayose has nothing to be afraid of then he should let the Court deliberate and deliver its judgement. A sycophant and suck-up like you will never see or accept this simple point and will only be found insulting others childishly.

moyinoluwabun: No sane person will say people @ d court are thugs. A judge trying to deny someone of his right is also a thug. They, Said an hungry man is an angry man. When someone want to deny ur benefactor his freely given right, then u can stand and watch like Zombie, u hear?. No thugs in ekiti but rather those whom Fayemi has afflicted with hunger and trying to ensure they don't go on empty stomach again by all means. Ire oooo

Please lay emotions aside. Can it be proven that Fayose was disqualified from running as a candidate? If yes then the law should be upheld even if APC is a major beneficiary of this development. If no, then the case against Fayose will be dismissed and he will sworn in as Governor for a 4-year term. The substantive point, for every law-abiding Nigerian, is that the Court should be allowed to deliberate and give a verdict without intimidation from lawless individuals seeking to pre-empt the ruling of a competent court of law. I concede that Fayose won and is the choice of Ekiti folks but the PDP, by fielding a candidate that is possibly barred from contesting an election, may have left themselves open to an 'uppercut' the opposition can legally take advantage of. That, without sentiments, is ow it works in reality worldwide and thuggery should not be allowed to make Nigeria different.

Actually, with over 30 years untarnished reputation fighting for our human rights (me, you, and everyone else), I would like to think that Mr Falana is to be respected for his contribution to our life as a nation.

I am sorry to hear that you are disappointed in him because unlike our thieving politicians, he's probably not rich enough to come home to Ilawe now and again to distribute rice, ankara etc. Mr Falana is a man of modest means. I also think we need to move away from demanding that townsmen and women must 'benefit' from an individual for that individual to matter in society. You are effectively asking this guy to be corrupt, otherwise where will he get the money to 'benefit' Ilawe people?

Please be assured that many of us who have witnessed his sacrifices for us the people are eternally grateful to God that he was and continue to be on our side (the ordinary people of this country).

Thank you. Falana has the enduring respect of Nigerians who wish well for our nation.

nokingasgod:

You have said it all, the question is, are there no credible member of PDP in Ekiti State? why a man with a luggage-ful of negativity? Same across board, why can't PDP evolve a mechanism for fielding credible candidates that an average Nigerian can reckon with?

Thank you. If the PDP fall victim to there own penchant for empowering and presenting disqualified candidates, in contravention of the law, then so be it. I will not feel sorry for them even as Fayose won the election in my opinion. The PDP has been getting away with this for ages to the extent the Party now think this is standard practice.

Alao-Akala was accused of being disqualified from running to be governor because of a dishonourable discharge from the Nigerian Police Force. Nothing came of that and he went on to be Governor for 4 years. Same Alao-Akala is now trying to become Governor again. Sheer madness and disgraceful backwardness. When will the ruling Party begin to lead by example instead of acting like a criminal gang?

edogirl2:

Mr Fayose's behaviour should concern all reasonable Nigerians, and be rightly condemned, irrespective of what side of the political divide you fall.

It is simply unacceptable.

As the Judiciary, Legislature and, the Executive branch (The Presidency etc) are the tripod on which our sovereignty (and ultimately democracy) as a people rest, this unprecedented invasion of courts and attack on the Judges are acts against us, the people.

If there is nothing under the sun that will justify the slapping of the President of Nigeria, I submit with all respects that there should be nothing that justifies the slapping of a sitting judge.


I am angry and frustrated that once again, people place party politics about something that goes to the very root of our nationhood.

Same here. I support the APC passionately but remain committed, above Party politics, to the principle that the rule of law must be respected and upheld always !!!!! Brazen impunity, such as was displayed in an Ekiti court, does not belong in a civilised nation inhabited by civilised and morally upright folks.

BekeeBuAgbara: For the second time Fayemi is trying to regain power through the back door, why can't he respect the wish of the people.

Look, Fayemi lost. Fayose is the choice of the people. No bone of contention there. Nonetheless, Fayemi and the APC should take advantage if the lawless PDP has once again, in its desperation to supplant 'Garrison commanders' everywhere, supported a disqualified candidate out of all other suitable men and women from Ekiti the Party could have presented. When will the PDP learn? Sure this is coming late but issues are ultimately about establishing and legally upholding the disqualification of Fayose if such is genuinely the case.

I think it would have been best for Fayose to lead Ekiti so that the choice of the Ekiti electorate is respected but I will never ever, not for any reason, back the idea of allowing a legally disqualified person to gain a position the law clearly states they are barred from contesting for. That is something that takes all of us backwards whatever Party or Politician we support. Simple as that.

Steadmann:

I'm watching an interview on ChannelsTV now, Barr Tunji Abayomi was interview(recorded).

Sir, I have a question.

What is the implication if the court rules against Fayose?

Does that mean that Fayose's running mate would be sworn in or Fayemi would continue to rule for another four years?

Thanks.

I am not a Lawyer ,and indeed open to correction from Nairaland members who are legal practitioners , but I think the position of the law, if Fayose is disqualified, would be that INEC may have to organise a new election with the PDP likely given the chance to present another candidate.

I will repeat that I think Fayose won and is the choice of Ekiti folks but the law is the law. If it can be proven he is disqualified from running then the APC must take advantage of this. All well-meaning Nigerians, to include the fans of Fayose, should allow the judicial process to arbitrate on this development even if only for the sake of improving the sanctity of the Nigerian political system. We should, as the biggest black nation on earth, set examples and not be guilty of crass backwardness indicated by a situation where disqualified candidates manage to circumvent the law to become important public servants.

OBJ started the trend of foisting disqualified candidates on the electorate because of his belief that men of dubious character can always be induced and used by a Presidency happy to ignore the rule of law and disregard the concept of strong institutions in the efforts to get his own electoral ways always. I personally hope this case is argued to the end meritoriously. I remember the personal trauma I felt that Ibori, convicted in the UK of credit card fraud and theft from an employer, was allowed to become a governor by a corrupt, dishonest and compromised judiciary. This was despite the efforts of stakeholders who took Ibori to court and showed correctly that the man was indeed a convicted criminal only for the brazenly corrupt judge to dismiss the case against Ibori. We must begin to shun criminality at all times in Nigeria and not when it suits us only. This applies to APC, APGA, Labour, PDP or any Party. If disqualified from the political process then you should stay disqualified.

barcanista: When you read pls try to comprehend and understand the message before forming your opinion.
Firstly, the project is a laudable one that will benefit the government and people of Ogun State. Considering the proximity of Ogun to Lagos State and the fact that many lagos residents are moving to Ogun State to live- in Ifo and Obafemi Owode LGAs, such project will also attract industrialization to the state. The project is not said to be completed in one year nor one term, he even won't complete it in his second term, but he will make considerable progress. Like Fashola, we hope the person that wl takeover in 2019 continue with the megacity project of ogun stata.

Don't bother with those 'bad belle' clowns. If we are to honestly name 5 Nigerian governors performing the most and delivering superlative infrastructural development, increasing IGR aggressively, industrialising Nigerian States and attracting FDI then Amosun will be included in that list close to the top. He is one of the few who has earned the right to talk and be taken seriously by all Nigerians who love progress and are able to put sectional bias aside.

SLIDEwaxie: There's no need to explain anything to these dimwits...

Amosun says he will do it, he delivers

Thank you !!! This is why I said absolutely nothing to the "dimwits" even as some of their comments were directed at me. Amosun has been delivering superlatively so far, more so than probably 80% of Governors in Nigeria, and that is what normal and objective folks base their thinking and talk on. Not mindless negativity which is entirely ignorant of and dishonest to the reality on the ground.

@OP.

When are you going to drop that revolting user name of yours? It brings to mind an image of a perverted desperado.

gratiaeo: Opposition is not to insult but proffer alternative solution but APC is not in the sense because they do not consider national security. I feel for the yorubas because a group of intelligent people being led astray by a thief , an illiterate and a person who can not defend himself from certificate forgery.

Again mentioning Yorubas needlessly, unfairly and disparingly. Are all Reps now Yoruba alone? The fondness of your ilk for ethnocentric and openly prejudiced behaviour is nauseating. When Yorubas then tell you to mind your own business, since you never have anything good to say about Yorubas and must always portray them negatively, you will begin playing victim. Bigot.

redsun:

The only place that use to be the apple in other nigerians eyes from other regions is lagos because it was the federal capital of nigeria and presently the federal commercial.It was developed with the early booming oil wealth of nigeria by enterprising nigerians from all the nook and crannies of the nation.The yorubas were able to lay hold of the chairmanship of most the multinationals because they are supposedly the indigenous people of the land and companies always find it easy keeping control of their activities by making the indigenous people figure heads. Aside from that,ordinary enterprising people on the streets of lagos that keeps it buoyant are mainly non yorubas and that is always very vivid during festivities like christmas when the igbos and others travels home.Everything shuts down and lagos becomes a SEMI ghost town.

Ojo madueke is a bush man that is been deceived by oyinbo language like most folks of his generation,the generation of lazy intellectuals and irrational academicians.If he actually understand what sophistication means,he wont use the word to describe any tribe in a primitive nigeria where prolific rogues like tinubu rules the roost.A lawless society.

Shut up and take a good look at your hateful image in the mirror for once !!! Why is it exclusively you Igbos who are now trying to discredit Madueke because he said something which many have stated about the Yorubas universally? Why are the Hausas, Fulani,Kanuris, Ijaws et al not in dissent when anything positive is stated about the Yorubas yet it is you people who are always fundamentally pained to the extent you wade in with your hateful and bitter comments when you can just ignore the topic and move on? The Yorubas don't bother about you or anyone for that matter. The other day there was a thread about Orji Kalu buying a private jet for a very large sum of money (see below) and the response, as at the time I left, could be counted on one hand!!!!! Yet if it was Tinubu you worthless and hateful individuals would have swelled the thread to 12 pages with abuse, curses and vitriol against a man who has never wronged most of you and whose only sin, to you children of prejudice and discrimination, is that he is Yoruba. How is Tinubu worse than the many worthless leaders you guys host who do nothing for your people? The progress the SW is making now, take it or leave it, is down to Tinubu. You have your own leaders far more deserving of your hate and attention yet it is Yoruba leaders you sad people concentrate on 24/7.

You hypocrites have nauseatingly perfected the art of hating and vilifying the leaders of others 24/7 whereas you never say anything about the numerous bigots,crooks and thieves you parade as leaders. People like you are the biggest hypocrite walking the earth. Go and blame your hateful forebears who chose to keep the hate against others alive, through one-sided and vile indoctrination, rather than coming here daily to make a fool of yourself. I just feel sorry for people like you because it is obvious you just act and talk senselessly and aberrantly, in opposition to everyone else, without even pausing to think why you do such.

Forumers can see the threads below about the stark misruler called Kalu and his mansions, jets and whatever. How many responses let alone Yoruba contribution? Do Igbos themselves ever bother to take this worthless leader to task to warrant their 24/7 malevolent focus on Tinubu and other Yoruba leaders? If it were Aregbesola or Amosun, even the Igbo in Ukraine, Mumbai and Arkansas who have never set foot in Osun or ogun State will be writhing around in pain and setting up home on the thread to make it 50 pages. You lot should sort yourselves out. Your ridiculous and hateful ways you fail to acknowledge , towards a people not particularly bothered about you, is pathetic.

You mean they play the game of thievery very with steady otimkpu followers like you that are culturally conditioned to sing praises to them like traditional praise singers in the obas palaces across Yoruba land?That kind of thing doesn't impress a conscious Igbo man very well,he will rather make his money enterprisingly,lord over himself,his immediate vicinity and wait for the right time to be a part of community when the veils over Nigerians faces have been lifted. A time that may never come in his life time,but as long as he lives,he refuses to kiss the asses of wayward silverbacks like tinubu. Stinking Asses that people like you find solace in.

The truth is that people like you are programmed to deceive yourself and others. Yorubas support leaders pragmatically. We are pragmatic in affairs where choice guides the path towards what is good and best for everyone. Only a foolish and hateful twerp, drunk on the vile indoctrination of his hateful forebears, will continue to claim otherwise in shameless and fraudulent defiance of what the entire universe accept to be the truth about the Yorubas. We do not, as a cad like you does on Nairaland, hypocritically dedicate ourselves to fighting, hating and alienating everyone as a way of life only to call them ungracious names because they are different. We don't make it a way of life to be incredibly hypocritical by attacking the leaders of others daily and obsessively only to say nothing about our own vile leaders. You are a kid mate. Live your life and let go of the hate and myopia or continue being the failed, bitter and worthless diasporan I know you are. You could have avoided this thread yet you chose to speak in denigration of the Yorubas. They did a good job on you children of hate. Better fight to spare your kids the same abysmal fate.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yoruba_culture

Philosophy[edit]
Yoruba culture consists of folk/cultural philosophy, religion and folktales. They are embodied in Ifa-Ife Divination, known as the tripartite Book of Enlightenment in Yorubaland and in Diaspora. The people you are raised to denigrate and hate have already earned a reputation your bitterness cannot dent.

Yoruba cultural thought is a witness of two epochs. The first epoch is an epoch-making history in mythology and cosmology. This is also an epoch-making history in the oral culture during which time Oduduwa was the head and a pre-eminent diviner. He pondered the visible and invisible worlds, reminiscing about cosmogony, cosmology, and the mythological creatures in the visible and invisible worlds. The second epoch is the epoch of metaphysical discourse. This commenced in the 19th century when the land became a literate land through the diligence and pragmatism of Dr. Bishop Ajayi Crowther, the first African Anglican Bishop.

Yoruba thought is mainly narrative in form, explicating and pointing to the knowledge of things, affecting the corporeal and the spiritual universe and its wellness. Yoruba people have hundreds of aphorisms, folktales, and lore, and they believe that any lore that widens people's horizons and presents food for thought is the beginning of a philosophy.

Although religion is often first in Yoruba culture, nonetheless, it is the thought of man that actually leads spiritual consciousness (ori) to the creation and the practice of religion. Thus thought is antecedent to religion.

Today, the academic and the nonacademic community are becoming more and more interested in Yoruba culture. Thus more and more researches are being carried out on Yoruba cultural thought, as more and more books are being written on it—embossing its mark and advancing its research amongst non-African thinkers and political scientists who are beginning to open their doors to other cultures, widening their views.

Religion[edit]
Main article: Yoruba religion
The Yoruba are said to be religious people, but they are also pragmatic and tolerant about their religious differences. Whilst many profess the Yoruba school of thought; many more profess other faiths e.g. Christianity, Islam e.t.c.[12]

redsun: The fact is that the Yoruba's tend to follow tribal leaders enmass,blindly and unquestionably,even though the leaders like most nigerian leaders of time are of questionable character,I.e,tinubu. Igbo's don't really believe in the system on the ground,therefore have not really seem the need for a political force as all the political bigwigs are prolific thieves like the rest of Nigerian politicians.

Thee should be something more objective to entice an Igbo man to get his acts together politically,something fundamental and something that made someone like Emenike to burn his Nigerian passport in the view of the world denouncing his association with the catastrosphy called Nigeria.

What a thoroughly dishonest and vile chap. What "fact"? Do you do reality at all? Can you tell us, without equivocation and without quivering lips, which ethnic group has now queued "enmass,blindly and unquestionably" behind the president of "questionable character" (GEJ) today even more than his own ethnic group? Worthless chap. This is all you people do. I.e ignore the reality attached to your own kinsmen, their very obvious flaws and their ethnocentric behaviour to be lying about Yorubas online, giving us unsavoury tags and falsely associating all manners of negatives with us you are even more guilty of by far. You are a totally shameless hypocrite for calling Tinubu a tribal leader. How many impressive non-Yorubas, willingly and with their own two feet, walked to Tinubu to gain political tutelage and career progression like Pat Utomi?

A Yoruba leader happens to be lauded universally as a savvy and impressive politician who plays the game well in the arena he operates in and it is only Igbos who cannot stand that and will embrace hating him passionately while tagging him a "tribal leader" and insulting his kinsmen. Is it not you guys disgracefully and exclusively wishing Tinubu death daily? How is Tinubu "Tribal"? What in Tinubu's history defines him a "tribal leader"? Did he fight Abacha and dictatorship on behalf of the Yorubas alone whereas most of your leaders are known to just side with whoever is the king ala "the king is dead long live the king"? Has he ever played the ethnic card like the shameless and openly prejudiced Peter Obi you all worship who asked Igbos publicly not to vote for or have anything to do with the "Yoruba Party" merely because an Igbo candidate chose to contest an election under the ACN? Shameless and nauseating hypocrite the lot of you. Same way I am not surprised it is only Igbos who will have a problem agreeing with the words of Ojo Madueke. People like you are too hateful. You are damaged goods probably not living a happy or productive life and blaming Yorubas, as you are prone to do, for your wretched reality.

20pounds: I like their sophistry too. Awo used it, Tinubu is using it effectively today I love their brown roofs most. It shows a people so sophisticated.

This coming from Ojo Maduekwe; a man known for praising whoever's palmwine he is drinking, at the moment, to high heavens. I dey laff o!

This is what will kill people like you. I.e pure and unadulterated hate. Can you never speak the truth and shame the devil for once in your wretched life? We clown around on this forum but the reality for any educated and scholarly person is that Yoruba culture is one of the most striking and impressive in the world. Humble yourself and learn what is good from those who are good.

barcanista: I can't believe that this is the same "Koro" that once had potential of greatness. He has been totally transformed to complete mediocrity. SOLEP is no longer working again. It is a shame that it is the same Koro that performed well as LILG Chairman, and was fantastic as Lagos State Home Affairs commisioner. His 2007 campaign was even manageable(at least he had manifesto) and came third behind Jimi Agbaje and Fashola (in that order) in the political debate. Koro now has no manifesto, but adopting Jona's "I have no shoe" style. What is korobucci? Of what significance is it to the administration of Lagos State? What makes him think that Administration is an "entertainment" business? He better signup with a music label and stop denigrating administration of Lagos State. This is pathetic and an embarrassment to say the least.

Musliu Obanikoro is a disgrace to his once vibrant potential.

Bro, did I not tell you all this when you joined Nairaland? I have nothing against the man but I got to see, first hand, he is mediocrity-personified and an expired product. He is now nothing but an expired career politician and mercenary who is totally out of ideas. Koromental has nothing to offer.

customized13: Contrary to the believe most people have, not every yoruba lagosian supports APC and fashola. A large chunk of them believe fashola is a fraud, I have family friends who detests fashola and they are yorubas. Its not gonna be easy for anybody If an igbo gubernatorial aspirant emerge in lagos, it won't be sure for anybody under a transparent condition. Yorubas on this forum should stop planning to kill igbos in lagos, that's what they have writing in yoruba........thanks

Another paranoid and hateful fool. Yorubas are "planning to kill Igbos" yet this has never manifested on the ground and in reality? Please stop representing the Yorubas to be what they are not. That is part of what has led to the state of affairs today seeing Yorubas mocking the gubernatorial ambition of an Igbo man on this thread. You guys should learn to embrace humility, respect for others and a sense of rapprochement instead of moving from place to place with a feudal, hostile and perpetually pugnacious attitude that alienates you from others.

bakynes: Am just laughing all of you here it's not even possible for APGA to field an igbo candidate in Lagos. So it means if a good number of Yorubas move to igbo land they can actually contest and win some states in igbo land? Until the issue of state of Origin is eradicated in Nigeria, this igbo campaign in Lagos cannot work. But come to think of it, this is an insult to Yoruba pple particularly the Lagos indigenes can u try this in Kano?

Bro, look at this another way and you will see this is testimony to the tolerance and sophistication of Yoruba people. Do Nigerians not go to the diaspora to win political office seeing them representing even people they have no ethnic or racial affiliation with? I am happy for the Yorubas to lead when it comes to progressive and developmental conduct. If some Igbos had not gone public with their hatred of the Yorubas and their determination to 'get even' undermine the Yorubas, since the inception of the GEJ Presidency, then this would not be an issue. In fact, it would be viewed as a welcomed development as a way forward.

Yet the way forward has to involve everyone playing their part. It is not for one group to embrace tolerance and the live-and-let-live ethos only for others to be consumed with a spirit of "chop sand" vengeance that sees them always plotting a hostile takeover when they should simply attempt to respect and get along with others.

funshint:
Guy u're a learner... just wait for the coming implosion in PDP as regards this selfish decision #Lamido #Tambuwal

This is my thinking too. The problem is that Nigerian followers are light years behind the machinations of their leaders. Do people think GEJ will simply gain the "endorsement" of the PDP and everyone will go home to work for his 2015 win?This is not 2011 where Dbanj and Nollywood sang and danced for GEJ. GEJ is now a well-known entity. Universally, he is now firmly viewed as a failed leader with nothing to offer Nigerians. He is no longer the "boy with no shoes".

GEJ has made his move using the money and influence of the Presidency and others, inevitably, will now be forced to make their move. I personally predicted that GEJ will throw whatever money or patronage towards gaining the PDP ticket. People should not be under any illusions. There are many angry and disgruntled PDP men forced to toe the line. The PDP, overnight, has now gained a lot of 'enemies within' who will have to move beyond apathy to deal with what is now reality. Things from this point on will be interesting.

What state came last in the senior school certificate exam again? its

-Remarkable

What a partisan cretin. If fair, you will understand what is going on here and implore your kinsmen to change their ways which makes them alienate and offend people wherever they go. Most Yorubas have absolutely no interest in standing in the way of Igbos or impeding their progress. This is why Igbos do well in the SW and have a sense of entitlement.

Yet no Yoruba enjoys reading the lies from Igbos, always denigrating their hospitable Yoruba host, which is now the staple of online discussions. Lagos is "no man's land" and "Yorubas are now slaves in their own land under igbos". They tell the entire world facetiously that "Igbos are 45-70% of Lagos" implying Yorubas are a 25-5% minority. We hear "Igbos run the economy of Lagos" and "Lagos will die if Igbos pull out". When a people are pugnaciously confrontational enough to make such wild claims day in and day out, in their senseless effort to always fight others they should seek to get along with, why will Yorubas not now ask Igbos to walk the walk since the Yorubas have become the target of the empty braggadocio and obsession with fighting and claiming superiority over others some Igbos operate with?

Do you think Nigerians in the diaspora behave with the herded lack of decorum some Igbos exhibit? If a Yoruba man wants to be Mayor of Peckham inthe UK should he go about it showing he is a Peckham man who wants to serve Peckham or he should brag feudally , merely because many of his fellow Yorubas live in Peckham, that Yorubas are 70% of Peckham? Should he alienate the people of Peckham and harden them against his ambition by showing he is prejudiced, hateful of others and obsessed with using everything, to include wildly exaggerated lies, to claim superiority over the people around him he does not share race or ethnicity with? You guys should look at yourselves, stop playing victim and recognise that it is not difficult to get along with others if you try to respect them rather than going everywhere and working with an obsession for disrespecting people and proclaiming supremacy hollowly,clannishly and fraudulently.

KIRIJI: This man is sure of winning since the population of the ibos in Lagos is 70% in their deluded mind

Awon Oloshi !

In fact other candidates should just pull out and save their money. Who can overcome a candidate who comes from an ethnic group that number 70% of the entire population of Lagos? I am loving this development which will seriously expose the delusions of grandeur some folks suffer from that makes them fond of over-estimating their own perceived strength while disrespecting the real strength and ability of others who are not predisposed to mindless braggadocio. We are all merely waiting for the swearing in of Bob Okoroji after his landslide victory in "no man's land" delivered by the support of his kinsmen who number "70% the population of Lagos". Time for some folks to walk the walk after talking the talk for years.

.

JomoGbomo2: This is a welcome development...all the supposedly 70% of Lagos population that are ibos can rally together and vote for him....simple!!!

Indeed. In fact, let me be one of the first to congratulate Bob Okoroji as the Lagos State Governor-in-waiting 2015. With Igbos being 70% of the population of Lagos who can stand in the way of this chap? In fact other candidates should not even bother contesting.

Meanwhile this could turn out to be a big disgrace for some braggart Igbos that will expose the inanity of the mythical 'majority' population statistics they have bandied around from time immemorial. This guy will not even get 3% of the total vote in my opinion and if this is the case, where will that leave the "we are 45%-70% of Lagos" claim? Anyway, some humble pies on the menu for some empty and disrespectful chest-beaters come 2015.

@OP

The quote below ,especially the part in bold, sums up why you and your ilk are always talking about the SW and her people while you never ever seem to have time for your own lives.

“People will always talk about you, especially when they envy you and the life you live. Let them... you affected their lives, they didn't affect yours.”

EUROBOMBER:

Coming from a guy who spends all his energy and time defending confirmed thieves and criminals that have enslaved the entire SW and converted Lagos to their ATM machine for pocket money to buy groundnut & banana everyday.

How shameful and pathetic! SMH.

Pathetic hater. No one has enslaved the SW and the truth, whether vacuously hateful people like you want to admit it or not, is that the region is doing comparatively well under the leaders Tinubu helped to put in power. The real enslavers of the SW were the PDP administrators replaced by the current crop of performers Tinubu supported with his Party platform and political machinery. You guys never listen to common sense advice urging you to mind your own business. That is why you are always lying to yourselves and obsessing unhealthily about the SW and her people/leaders 24/7. Only god knows the sort of 'sickness' that makes someone in Enugu or Ebonyi more passionate about Tinubu than their own leaders.

Bros, we no need ur comment, we already know whr u belong and those distractions of yours can't work, vote for your GEJ and leave us whr we are...no right thinkin Nigerian wil criticise buhari's candidacy, u can see fashola's achievements but that of buhari, u can't see it. Go on with the hypocrisy.

Thank you. It is like the racist trying hard to convince black people he does not hate them because he waves to his black neigbhours once every three months. No need for anyone to attempt image laundering on this forum via pretending they care about the APC or even worry about Nigeria getting rid of a leader taking us all down. They should simply stay true to their personal prejudice and follow their ethno-religious proclivity to side with GEJ while leaving the rest of us to do what is pragmatically best in the effort to save Nigeria from gross misrule endangering the future of generations unborn.
