Only untampered Justice can bring peace.

When APC urchins were doing their own, did you call for peace? Did they listen to you?

What makes you think your opinion matters?

When it's time just stay indoors.

GENTLEMEN, I WANT TO ASK ONE QUESTION.

THIS ANNOUNCEMENT BY THE FG THAT STATES CAN NOW GENERATE THEIR OWN ELECTRICITY, OCCURRED ABOUT A WEEK AGO I BELIEVE.

SO HOW COME IT IS ONLY LAGOS STATE THAT WAS SO QUICK OFF THE MARK TO ARRANGE THIS HUGE 'ELECTRICITY MARKET' POWER GENERATION PROJECT IN RESPONSE TO THE ANNOUNCEMENT BY THE FG?

WHERE IS ANAMBRA, IMO, ABIA, ENUGU'S PLAN FOR GENERATING ELECTRICITY?

THIS IS WHY I SAY THAT THIS WHOLE IGBO SECESSIONISM IS STUPID AND MISGUIDED.

TELL ME SOMETHING.

IS IT AFTER YOU DECLARE BIAFRA THAT YOUR LEADERS WILL SUDDENLY GET SENSE AND TURN PROGRESSIVE, AND START WORKING?

HOW SO?

BY MAGIC?

BY ABRACADABRA?

SEE, IT DOESN'T MATTER WHICH COUNTRY YOU PUT YOURSELVES IN, WHETHER BIAFRA OR NIGERIA OR CONGO.

IF YOUR LEADERS ARE USELESS AND GREEDY, NOTHING WILL CHANGE FOR YOU.

NONSENSE.

Take that to the bank. Any Igbo who did not win his ward/state or ensured that APC had at least 2nd position with the mandatory 25%..... Will not get any appointment at the federal government level...

The Arewa Youth Consultative Forum (AYCF) has revealed that there was an understanding with the northerners that made them vote for Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu in the just concluded presidential and governorship elections.

AYCF urged the duo not to renege in their promises to the north and those of northern extractions living in Lagos as the latter had fulfilled their parts by ensuring the victory of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

In a statement personally signed by Alhaji Yerima Shettima, National President of the AYCF, the group congratulated Tinubu and Sanwo-Olu over their victories just as it commended the leaders of the Arewa community in Lagos for the roles they played during the elections.

"We have seen how much self-sacrifice was made by Arewa community in Lagos led by the Sarkin Hausawan Lagos, Alhaji (Dr) Aminu Yaro Dogara, along with Sarkin Fulanin Lagos, Alhaji (Dr) Muhammad Abubakar Bambado, during the presidential elections.

"It is gratifying to note that the contribution of voters of the Arewa community in Lagos has helped greatly in securing the victory of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu. It is even more gratifying that the Arewa community helped to secure Asiwaju's victory voluntarily, without requesting a dime from the presidential candidate.

"We are compelled to openly express our happiness over the volunteerism and self-sacrifice of the Arewa community led by both Sarkin Hausawa and Sarkin Fulani monarchs, including their kith and kins in the 19 states of Northern Nigeria, in the election that produced Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu as Nigeria's democratically-elected leader.

"We feel duty bound, therefore, to follow-up on the promise made by President-elect Bola Ahmed Tinubu to all northerners, to redeem his beautiful promise of protecting their image, integrity and safety, including the Arewa Community in Lagos. We believe this will further strengthen their faith in the capacity of the President-elect to deliver on his mandate.

"Most importantly, promise is a debt, and we believe the President-elect and the incumbent governor (whose mandate has just been renewed) are well aware of this truism.

"We hope they will live up to expectations as soon as possible, especially for a voting population that did not collect a single Kobo before casting their votes for the both the President-elect and the Governor," the statement said adding that the Arewa community in Lagos considers Tinubu a "big brother and son of our late leader and Sarkin Hausawa, Alhaji Dogara Yaro, whom he fondly called Baba."

the writer is a Yoruba sir ....I don't know what is piiggidiots

Why can't you guys focus on issues on yourselves...the world is looking at you and your behaviour

ariesbull:
No woman likes a clingy, insecure man. But that is what we yorubas are becoming, a frightened, insecure and second rate nation. So fearful that we cant even accept one of our own because his mother is ibo. There was a time when the word swagger was synonymous with the yoruba. Reflecting self assurance and confidence. We exuded belief. The ibos secretly admired us. They adopted our clothes and music. They flocked to our churches.

We accommodated strangers because we were so sure of ourselves, of our standing in the world, our stature, our swag that we knew our guests were not a threat. Now all that has drained away. We are now like the insecure man who marries a pretty woman and secretly consumed by self doubt, fearing he is not good enough for her tracks her every movement, obsessively going through her phone, hates her male colleagues because he is petrified she will leave him for someone better. Is this how low we have fallen that we now fear those we once used to regard as culturally inferior to us, we once said the ibos could not dance, could not dress, lacked poise and polish, were not as read as us, now we work ourselves into a frenzy about them taking over a yoruba city hundreds of miles from the nearest hamlet in the south east.

One of the greatest ever yoruba leaders Adekunle Fajuyi once gave his life rather than live with the dishonour of handing over his ibo guest to those who wanted to murder him. We now compete with each others to denounce our ibo guests whose only crime is trading and living in our midst, ideologically handing them bound and foot to the caliphate who hate and distrust us as much as they hate and distrust them

We look for wild statements of a few ibos to justify our fear of all of them in doing so demonstrating not our courage, but our fear, our insecurity, our deep rooted inferiority complex towards a tribe who have outmatched us and outpaced us.

A tribe who rose from the ruins of a war in which they lost 10% of their population but refused to break, to wallow in self pity, to feel sorry for themselves, did not fear those who beseiged their land, but went forth and conquered with commerce those who had conquered their land with bombs. They bought our property while we frittered the proceeds on women and easy living, then having wasted our inheritance blame those with greater foresight and discipline of taking over land we freely sold to them They take care of their relatives, training them in the family trade while we turn ours to househelps and drivers. They pool their resources together while ours is used to tear our families apart. They build businesses, we chase every lowly special adviser looking for government contracts. They have learnt to thrive when marginalised meaning even excluded fron government largesse they still have a lower level of poverty than we do.

It shows in sports. In the 1980's the national football team was split down the middle between ibos and yorubas, with the yorubas dominating the more glamorous and creative roles. For every Okala, there was an Odegbami, evet Chukwu a Muda Lawal, every Stanley Okonkwo a Fekix Owolabi. But since the 90s and noughties, the roll of honour in our national game has been claimed by the ibos. Who have the yorubas produced to match the profile and performances of Jay Jay Okocha, Emmanuel Amuneke, Kanu Nwankwo, Mikel Obi, Vincent Onyeama. When ability, fortitude, resilience, drive and determination is needed we see the ibos. But when patronage, easy living and dissolute lifestyles are on show enter the yorubas.

We cant even plan coups properly. The most incompetent coup ever planned in Nigerian history was the one plotted by yoruba officers in beer parlours over pepper soup and big stout against Abacha leading to its most senior officer grovelling before the dictator pleading for his misteable life. The coup before that planned by ibo and delta officers - the Orkar putsch in 1990 saw the prime movers defiant to the bitter end, facing death with honour.

How did we end up here? 25 years of flirting with power at the centre, of living off and chasing unearned income, of prostrating before the caliphate has turned us to feudal retainers. Men who have lost their manhood. We are cowed into silence when state sponsored gangs rampage across our lands raping our women, burning our farms, slaughtering our yourh. The few who find the courage to fight back we disown, we call them ruffians. When our yourhs protest against injustice as they did during the endsars we attribute it fittingly to an ibo plot. And why not seeing the qualities needed to organise a protest so well executed it captured the international air waves for days required courage, initiative and drive. Qualities we are now so enfeebled, so morally vacous we happily agree belong to the ibos.

A fish rots from the head. Our legacy was built by giants like Fajuyi, Awolowo and to a lesser extent Abiola. Men who gave their freedom and their lives rather than surrender their principles. But what have we now? Bola Tinubu who keeps quiet when millions of ibos are put at risk in his city by vicious tribal bigotry and baiting because of his lust for power. Bola Tinubu who buried his head when his own people were being gunned down in churches in their own land by gun men under the protection of his fulani bosses. In the halycon days of the founder of the modern yoruba race the closest Bola Ahmed Tinubu would have got to power would have been organising security at UPN party conferences. Today he is the acknowledged leader of the yoruba race.

We have these last few weeks of eternal shame revealed our weakness, our insecurity, the spiritual barrenness that now lies like a void at the centre of our world. We fear a yoruba man because he has an ibo mother! Thats how supine, how fearful we have become. We forget the yorubas killed in their hundreds last year by state protected fulani gunmen because we are desperate to be awarded office by those who defile our women and pillage our land. Principle counts for nothing. We are up for sale and not for very much. This is how far we have fallen. We have won an election but lost our soul, we are in office but not in power. We are now pound land, okrika wake version of the northern elite who inspite of their monopoly of power at the centre havrle feared the commercial acumen and success of the ibo fir 5 decades so much they turned on them whenever they felt threatened by their own inadequacies as we have done the last few weeks.

We are now a pale imitation of the , a frightened, insecure, tremulous and second rate nation clinging like leeches to power se seek at any cost because we have nothing else to offer.. The ibos have not held power for 60 years and thrived. We have just won it for the 3rd time in the same period and still like the fulani fear them. This is how low a once great people have fallen.

We Don't Have Any Space For Bigotry Or Ethnic Coloration In Our System - Sanwo-Olu

SenatePresdo:
Its more like.

For you to pass WAEC, you must pass 5 subjects, and English language.

For you to win Presidential Election, you must have 25% in 24 states, and FCT.

The say that FCT is a state, is English not a subject??

The Supreme Court, have ruled on this matter before, stating that a candidate must have 2/3 of 36 states, including FCT.
But my worry is that I don't trust our judiciary system. Period

We are impatiently waiting for them.

SenatePresdo:
This exactly what will throw this country into and avoidable Flow of blood.

If they dare to overlook the Constitution of FCT 25%.

We are patiently waiting for the court, the tension don over mature.

Na spark we dey wait for.

Congratulations Lagos. LP is now officially a dying party.

Oshafile and Fashina will decamp to APC eventually by the time LP fizzles out.
38 out of 40 for APC is loud gan. Even Ago still fell into the laps of APC

Mercy2006:
I believe what I wrote up there is self explanatory enough.
I wasn't saying I didn't believe you, of course I knew all you wrote before now.
My point is that you would rather keep quiet when your kith and kin here on nairaland say exact opposite of all that you wrote than tell the truth.

As per the last question, I meant I am married to an Igbo man, sixteen years down the line now and that I have met couples like us over the years too.

I only said that to buttress the fact that what you wrote isn't new only that your people here are always saying otherwise.
Look, writing isn't really my forte, I don't know how else to explain my point clearer than this.

Mercy2006:
How do you expect any sane person to believe all you wrote now when you igbos are always shouting "IGBOS DON'T MARRY YORUBA WOMEN.NO IGBO IN HIS RIGHT SENSES MARRIES YORUBA WOMEN OOOO. THEY ARE UGLY AND DIRTY AND NOBODY WANTS THEM "
In fact, y'all claimed only useless Yorubas are in the East selling agbo and doing tailor work and that how can you involve people like these in your politics?
You people say this every time.
Though, to people like me, I know it's just propaganda because I have been married to an Igbo man for the past 16 years and I have met ladies like me with their Igbo husbands over the years.
It's unfortunate that when your people are mouthing off these lies you turn the other way but now because everyone is calling you all out now, all of a sudden, some of you are now saying the truth to deny being tribalistic.
Well, y'all will be alright las las.

Without apology, I will say Igbos has a very low IQ. You keep doing things that will make your host to hate you. You have successfully made people to see LP as Igbo party. I'm a Yoruba man that campaign vigorously for Peter Obi to an extent of even calling him Peteru Oluwaseun Obi, but today if I should vote in any rerun, I won't vote him again because I now see LP as Igbo party.
You guys needs to wake up and stop being fool!sh...

Omoawoke:


The way they do their stuffs quietly, and mind their business is what others need to learn.
Constitutional rights, that is true but some things are common sense. There are many constitutional rights but one needs to apply wisdom.
You won't go to a other peoples land and be claiming constitution right and speak anyhow to them or act anyhow.
You have the right to practice any religion of your choice and live anywhere, but act with wisdom.
I hope the igbo learn to respect other people's boundary and stop the unnecessary show of ego.
If you think you are smart, others are smart too, if you think you are special, others are special too

SmartPolician:
This election exposed a lot of things about the Yorubas. I won't write more than this.

DenreleDave:


Stop crying.. Make him anambra Governor in 2027

Omoawoke:


The most responsible LP candidate so far

Northerners are in Lagos minding their business, they go out to vote quietly and return home. No noise
But some other people are in Lagos and will not let everybody have peace, na una go follow southwest people drag politics, drag house of rep seats and make noise it is no man’s land.
And when they reacted you begin to cry victim.

Which kind Wahala be this people?

But your People in Kano pass 3 Million and they have many Shops there
Why didn't Pdter Obi Campaign there as Strenuously from Market to Market as he did
In Lagos?


This one is real Tribalism !!!!!!

Chinedu Rhodes and hat Surrounded himself with IPOB Terrorists

and was Threatening to make Lagos Catch Fire knowing fully well how Kanu

Tried to destroy Lagos during Endsars needs to understand that despite irregularities and everything

the Elections Results were not Even Close in Lagos

The Landslide win of Sanwo Olu was just too Wide

Sanwo Olu Truly Won the Elections the Gap was just too Wide

For there to be any doubt of that. The

Ikorodu is an APC Stronghold that SanwoOlu won with over 50,000 votes
Alimosho was won with Over 46,000 votes making 96,000 votes margin altogether
from only 2 Local government Areas


Chinedu you do not Surround Yourself with Ipob Terrorists and Tell Lagos that

You will Capture it!!

You must loose with a Landslide !!!!!!!!!



Chinedu Rhodes needs to remember that he lost his own Polling Unit to Sanwo Olu

and he didn't dispute it
