Are you being fair by painting your brother JK bad because igbos are supporting him and by extension painting yorubas who are supporting him bad too?

Are you being fair by painting Ambode your brother bad by telling us that he will deal with igbos if he wins? Making him look like a wicked and vindictive man who will stop at nothing to visit evil upon those who didnt vote fot him? Is that truly who he is?

You are not being fair to these two sons of yours here. Any of them that wins is still a yoruba man so i dont understand the muslinging.

Very good. His role during the oresidential election was so horrible. Thank God for this change

Tribal sentiments running high. People manufacturing fake info so as to whip up more sentiments. No matter what anybody does here, power belongs to God and he gives it to whosoever he pleases.

Lets post situation reports and results from our various polling units in Rivers state here.

Ok

usbcable:
meaning the electoral process has a great flaw in it and election is inconclusive as there will be double voting and too many void votes.

Why una dey cry na? The D-day is here. Go out and vote. Anybody who wins is still a yoruba man.

@Op, Power belongs to God and he gives it to whomsoever he pleases. Displaying hatred on igbos and using it against JK your brother cannot change whatever God has approved so take it easy. If God wants yo use JK to stop Tinubu from milking the state u cant stop him. Save yourself the cry and let God have his way.

Whoever God wants will win and govern the state.. Amen

funny

make i read am na.

ndcide:
Bigotry. it's people like the @op, that will vote to prove silly points.

Even if ambode wins, he is not going to do anything to the Igbos. he is not going to kill them. Also, if Agbaje wins, he is not going to kill the Yoruba people.

Look, whoever wins have no choice but to deliver. And from my assessment, sentiments aside. Agbaje looks more poised to deliver. he looks like one who will owe his victory to the people of Lagos and no one else. he is not riding on another person's chariot to government house.

and He'll have to prove a point as he will be coming in on a different platform that have never governed Lagos.

we have seen both leading candidate speak. We all know that Agbaje is a superior candidate.

Fashola gave a speech and all he had against Agbaje is his political party & not his person or competence. Ask fashola, if his actions in Lagos was about his party or about him working to improve Lagos.

If not for party reasons, will fashola really pick ambode against agbaje? Let's be truthful.

we know fashola never wanted ambode, but now have to support him for party reasons.

To those who hate Agbaje because some Non indigenous people love him; I'll say it is a shame. It's not an Igbo thing. I spoke with a keke rider at Ajah area this evening and he told me why he wants to vote Agbaje. because he believes some oppression will stop. interestingly he is not Igbo.

There are Igbos who support Ambode too.

Why all these ethnic politics. will Ambode drive away Igbo? NO! They want to unite Yoruba people against agbaje; Who is a Yoruba man.


We all know those who play ethnic politics and later on point at another person.

If its about continuity, we have heard them speak about their take. Agbaje never his his opinions. He clearly pointed area and projects which he says will be sustained or reviewed. he he said " for this projects, they can be done differently" . This other ones we shall continue.

Though I want Agbaje to win, I have no point to prove.

Well, it is left for Lagosians.

Well spoken. Its pathetic they way Ambode's guys are talking here. portraying their candidate as a vindictive man who will victimize the igbos for not voting him. That alone paints a very bad picture of Ambode which may not actually be true of him. The Agbaje guys are not interested in Agbaje victimizing anybody from what i ve seen so far. They are only interested in him coming on board to deliver his campaign promises which includes liberating lagosians from uniformed touts who extort money from the masses thru various agencies.

lekandauda1234:
What you have failed to put into consideration is the fact that yorubas are not prostitutes voters. Go back into history when yorubas decide they are toeing a particular line they do so enmass except those who in minority that does otherwise. As u jhave assumed that yorubas vote enblock for Buhari so shall they vote for apc tmrw. Jks vote will be that minoty yorubas, and other tribes that i am very sure will be splited down d middle

So are you implying that Jimi is so worthless in yoruba land that he cant gather enough votes which can make up the ones he has from outsiders to give him a win? The vote gap between Buhari and Jonathan was less than 150 thousand, hope u know? its not like the kind of margin they had in Kano. We are just discussing possibilities anyway. What will be will be. Any of them that wins no problem.

O ma se o, the Arewa community are waiting to neutralize the so called Igbo votes or have you not heard that Tinubu is now a demi god in the north for supporting Buhari.

The hausas already have a tradition of getting their PVCs from the north thats why they travel in mass during election to go and vote in their place. Except you are telling me that they ll use the PVC they got in the north to vote in Lagos. Again the few of them who voted in lagos sure were part of the votes given to Buhari/Osibanjo.

godson36:
I wonder why some set of people will believe that different thing will happen in tomorrow Governorship election in Lagos state apart from the presidential election.

I will advice you to stop dreaming. I heard from someone that the Igbo is more than Yoruba's in Lagos state. Y friend, that is a big lie. Let's take Buhari as an example. It is clear to most of us that almost 95% of Igbo's in Nigeria voted for Jonathan. That shows that almost all the Igbo's in Lagos state voted for Jonathan.

Now, the case is different. It is between Yoruba and Yoruba. You won't expect 70% of Igbo's to vote for Jimi Agbaje cause this matter on ground is a matter of Like and dislike. Although the defeat of Jonathan will push some set of Igbo's to vote for PDP.

But remember that even when Jonathan contested, he was beaten in lagos despite the full support he has from Igbo. Even if this full support is still there for Jimi Agbaje, he will still be defeated.


Hope You Understand Me?

Feel free to comment and give your reason if you opposes this motion

Your analysis is not balanced. Have you forgotten that here is a case of two yoruba men unlike in the presidency where you have an ijaw/hausa against hausa/yoruba? Lets say the igbos gave Jonathan a block vote in Lagos while the Yorubas gave Buhari same because of Osibanjo. Now Jimi and Agbaje will have to share the votes that yorubas gave to Buhari. Add the Yoruba votes to igbo block votes for Jimi and see what the result will look like, bearing in mind that the votes gap between Jonathan and Buhari was slim.

This is just as a matter of man's calculations anyway. It may or may not go this way in reality though. God knows the best. Let the best candidate win.

Why is APC abusing Jonathan's gentility? Hope they wont scream blue murder when people starts insulting Buhari in his tenure?

baby124:
Awori's are Yoruba.

Ahhhh conflicting reports. The other guys gives a different explanation. ok no problem. I just wanted to kniw. Thanks

macjive01:
Awori to Yoruba , is like Ogoni to Igbos

ok. which means you people are a tribe of your own.

baby124:
I am Awori, and i have no Benin connection whatsoever. Be guided and be warned. Smh

Is Awori yoruba or are you a tribe on your own? Am just asking for enlightenment. Dont link it with the tribal war going on here pls. Today is my first time of hearing about Aworis, thats why am curious.

Twistaray:
Could you please tell us the meaning of enugu,anambra,aba,imo in Igbo language?

Tiiiiikn u

Enugu means on hilltop.

Anambra means large land.

aba means enter. for example anam aba na ulo. Which means i am entering the house.

Imo means everyone. (we say something like this- ma nta. ma imo which is like saying every tom and dick or everyone).

Thats for my side of igbo. to some other igbo villages they may have more meanings for the words too

OP, now i am convinced that Lagos is not yoruba land per se. Since this is coming from the Lagos State government i believe it. Thanks for educating me.

CaptainOjemba:
Poverty is a disease.

Terrible disease

Na wa o. God save this country o. Amen.

For the Yorubas who are saying that igbos will suffer if JK loses. Are you not portraying Ambode as a wicked tribalist who crushes those not from his tribe? See how una dey sell una market. Una no be good marketers o. I dont even know who sell bad market pass between you people and your Oba.

Moreover, go and check the history of the igbos, we have track records of surviving under whatever situation we find ourselves so i tell you that igbos will always survive. Your threat cannot move our people because surviving in any situtation is not strange to us.

Lastly, i dont like to see my brothers saying that Lagos is no man's land. Lagos is yoruba land pls. If you have documents to prove that it is not pls post the link here let me read or you stop the no-man's-land claim biko.

san316:
igbos are fools. it is no longer a battle for what is right but pride. in the end. a Yoruba man who has no root in igboland will still win the election. .

igbos won't fare any better because there is no special program. for igbos.

Yoruba still win on the long run.

The point is not about Igbos benefitting from JK as a tribe but its about the uniformed touts(LATSMA and co) who have constituted nuisance to Lagosians which JK said he will remove among other things. It is JK's agenda for Lagos that won their heart but you people are supporting Ambode because of Fashola sentiment. Thats not the way to go about it pls. I think people should be allowed to choose whom they want.

Which one be Aworis again? Abeg make una no carry another provoke join on top the one wey dey on ground now. Space no dey for lagoon again

if this is true, then its bye bye for Rochas.

He is still the president and carrying out his responsibilities. Most of you here abusing him are people that he seniors by age. I wonder the kind of families you people came out from that you dont have simple respect for your elders. Its a pity.

hmmmm na wa o. funny country.

IMO. PDP
RIVERS. APC
ABIA. APGA
ENUGU. PDP

stanech:
so the logic is Niger delta oil is for all but a Niger delta man cannot vote for a candidate of his choice in Lagos.
you guys should be reasonable for once. you come to another mans land drill his oil sell and pocket the money but the said man is not allowed to vote in your land .

Ondo state is a yoruba land and they have oil too does that make it a no man's land? Be reasonable and understand the point of the op.

stanech:
But I thought the oil in Niger Delta belongs to every body. op park well joor

Yes but that does not make niger delta a yoruba land or a no man's land.

As long as Buhari continues doing well, nothing will happen to him but if he dumps the welfare of the masses then trouble for him. May God help him.

temitemi1:
Capital TRASH!

What is the trash there? Fashola's points are so reasonable and convincing.

Lagos is not our land.

Why do u want to claim other people's land. Are you a thief? Nwanne think well biko.
