SmartPolician:
Rufai is the most knowledgeable Nigerian journalists.

Where's the knowledge?

You mean his terrible knowledge of history? Or extreme divisive comments? Or his bias questions?

Seun of Channels is the best Journalist in Nigeria in my view. He ask tough questions of everyone.

Boomkalakuta:
Afonja should not put mouth in anything planned protest or coup or organised planning.

There a betrayals

Okay trustworthy person

I hope you won't hide under your bed when the chips are down.

The senate president will be tightly contested

There's another senator from Kano apart from Orji Uzor that has declared.

dazzlingd:
This is not about an attack on him.
I don't give a damn about obidients nor baptist or whatever'

This is about Seun acting professional and if this persist. it can cause him a serious repetitional damage both for his business and himself.
And in a country like US, he may find himself behind serious litigation that may end him up bankrupted if not with worse situation.

He needs to be very careful in dissociating himself with things like this.
He manages a large forum like Nairaland and he doesn't know how to manage information nor his speech. The same thing that GRV did that haunted him down today.
The moment I saw that apology letter, I knew the result would be catastrophic. The last time he was on twitter saying he removed southwest MOD for Southeast MOD, another time was Tinubu BOT. As a CEO of nairaland, there ways you place yourself in the public and stay safe. The bigger you get in life the more your words carry weight.
Who says "Dear IGBO people" even the content of the letter using words like Yoruba people, igbo people.
People really need professional training, and this is why Africans don't go far in doing business.
I really advise Seun to take a management course even if it is 6 months crash course

Exactly!!

Boomkalakuta:
Is this sponsored by sane Nigerians or accomodating landlords!?

Also If a Niger Delta man is heading it,

no problem meaning it is serious.

But if it is headed by an Afonja .

I repeat all sane Nigerians should not join .

Because when he will be bought you won't know .

Thai is the legacy of an AFONJA

Is the Nigerian labour congress a Yoruba thing or are you just not knowledgeable about anything.

lawman88:
Peter Obi just want to kill Tinubu with his case:
Can Tinubu prove all the cases
1) Drug case
2) 25% case
3) election rigging

None of the two previous case has merit.


The over voting case will be interesting tho

Over voting took places in states he lost?

KK looking forward to the local government where the over voting took place.

Supremos:
Have you ever been to my village?.
Why must I be to Badagry?. What for?. Make your point uncle without asking irrelevant question

So why do base your judgement of Egun on one person's view?

Supremos:
Uncle I won't take your account as being Germaine. The lady is the one wearing the shoes and knows where it's paining them. Nothing like being biased.

As for giving APC highest votes in Lagos, uncle, their was no free and fair election in Lagos so I wouldn't take that into account. If the election was free and fair, your argument would have been plausible. You could have as well intimidated them like you did to others, or disenfrnchised them, or manipulated the true result like you guys did in virtually all the polling units

Have you ever been to Badagry?

Supremos:
Did you read the post of the lady?

The lady obviously have some bias against Yorubas.

Even in the just concluded Elections, Egun in Badagry gave APC more votes in terms of percentage than Alimosho the most populated Yoruba location in Lagos.

Egun and Yorubas are cousins in Portnovo in Benin, Yewa parts of Ogun state, Badagry
parts of Lagos.

They have long lived amongst Yorubas.

Supremos:
They're also called Ogu or Egun. I have screen shot the Wikipedia for you and you also read where the lady wrote Ogu. I'm not saying they have anything to do with Igbos.

I'm wondering why Yorubas are segregating against other southwestners.

Even in western region they had members in house.

Awolowo always ensured that they given slots in civil service.

Ltv in Lagos always makes sure Local news is read in Egun and Yoruba language.

Nobody is segregating them.

Yet, there population in Ogun is less than 1% and there population in Lagos is less than 5% but 12% of the indigenous population.

Supremos:
Ogu people or Egun people different from Yoruba?

Yes Ogu people are not Yorubas but there villages are surrounded by Yoruba villages all across Benin republic and Nigeria.

Supremos:
Does it mean that even the Yorubas segregate amon themselves?.

Who are the Ogu people of Ogun state?.

This tribalism is endemic

Egun not Ogu

Egun or Gun are cousins in of Fon in Benin republic.

They represent a large part of Badagry Local governormnent area and very small part in Yewa parts of Ogun state.

Gun and Fon came from Togo and migrated towards what we now know as coastal parts of west africa. Although, FOn to some extent believe that there tribe is born as a result of inter marriage between Egun and Yorubas.

Lagos is no longer there?

No opay?

Pierocash:
Lol! It shows you know nothing

The journalist that played such divisive politics in Rwandan using the media and Radio is still serving a life sentence in Hague till today.

Show me a country in those places you are talking about that did such and went Scot free

United States is one state Where very divisive politics take place during Election season.


Why hasn't united states broken?

raskymonojendor:
Haha. He was pandering to Igbos on twitter.

it is sad, he is behaving like a lily-livered man.

I use to think he was smart and assertive.

raskymonojendor:
No. On Twitter, he announced that he told a SW supermod mod to step down and replaced him with a SE supermod. A thread was created for his action on Nairaland but it did not last 20 minutes before the thread was deleted and the thread owner slapped with a ban.

Why will the South East be objective, if he thinks the South West won't?

Pierocash:
You felt Seun did nothing wrong because you didn't see anything wrong in divisive statements.

If this thing boomerang to ethnic war, Seun will be one of those to face Icc. So you don't know

It was an advertisement, a political advertisement is meant to be divisive even in more develop society.

Division is the the very nature of politics in the 21st century.

Seun gave everyone of them an equal footing here on Nairaland, Labour, PDP and APC

It was not a statement made by Seun.

raskymonojendor:
He lost it when he went on twitter to announce about how he told one supermod to step down for another.

Did he sack any Supermod?

Pierocash:
Don't worry . When the ethnic fight starts,your family and you will definitely be the first casualty. Many Hutus that took side with their fellow Hutus against the Tutsis when divisive statements were made,majority of them died in the war.

I advise you ignorant fellows taking side with divisive politics to go watch the movie "Sometimes in April", or "Hotel Rwanda". You will see the effect of this divisive statements in Rwandan Genocide.

Those who started the divisive and ethnic bigotry that led to the war ,and their families all died,they still lost the war and ended up been under the Tutsi leadership till date.

I won't blame the Yorubas, they have not fought any war before so they can be stupid and not know the consequences

Bruv read what I wrote again and digest it.

I was not encouraging any tribal conflict, you are the one encouraging tension with your comment.

Bahamas95:
I don't just understand this hatred between Igbos and Yorubas.


What I know is that no tribe in Nigeria is perfect, all of dem get their own wahala.


What I noticed when I was in the south west is that Yorubas regard you as ömö ibo if you ain't Yoruba or a northerner.......Nor be juju be dat?

Yes most Yorubas regard any tribe after Edo State in the South or East as omo igbo.

LeoDeKing:
Good for him.

Shebi he wants to please them.

People wey if dem get their way, dem go bring down your site, you are there trying to please them.

I was sad when I saw this video this morning.

The content Creator didn't even understand what happened from what she was saying, she was simply insulting the whole Yoruba race...

Calling Seun and Yorubas lazy for attacking Igbos for a mere 16k.

Imagine Seun that has ran a successful platform for nearly two decades is lazy.

Seun despite your best efforts to support the Obidient movement particularly Gbadebo Rodes Vivour towards the governorship Election in Lagos State, you are being attacked for a simple Advertisement placed on your platform that painted Labour in a bad light.

Seun you need to learn that the thugs that attacked the Igbos at the election on Saturday March 18th don't use Nairaland. Hence, they were not necessarily influenced by the advertisement. In addition, there were more provocative message littered everywhere on the social media spaces before and after the election.

Besides that advertisement slogan is not different from the slogan used by Godwin Obaseki in 2019 in Edo State. The slogan used was "Edo no be Lagos". The slogan was to antagonize Tinubu who is seen as a godfather in Lagos to stay away from Edo State internal politics.

The slogan "You can't rule Lagos from Anambra" is similar to the one mentioned above because it is meant to Antagonize Peter Obi the presidential candidate of Labour party whose Election victory at the presidential poll is main reason Gbadebo stood a chance at the governorship election. It's not meant to Antagonize all Igbos.

Seun even if you felt you were somehow responsible for what we saw on Saturday in Lagos, you shouldn't have openly taken responsibility. That is a terrible public relations disaster. You should have just donated the revenue made from the advertisement and move on.

Here is a link to video made by a vloger on facebook cursing and insulting Seun because of the apology he made:

NaijaRoyalty:
Na the poor and unfortunate yorubas dey carry Tinubu for head .

The rich yorubas living in the Island and Obidients

It's a very valid point.

300bn is to much for any Election in Nigeria where there's hospitals and schools to fix.

No one will insult her for making a valid nonpartisan point.

OfoIgbo:
Totally different from the one sent by legendhero, that only showed one of the alternatives.

PO is a father in court issues

It's the same thing

Premium times just summarize it.

Buckeyemedia1:
DOA, Dead On Arrival.

I am shocked that this is what Peter Obi came up with.

Larryhoover:
With this petition, the case has ended even before it started.

On what ground would you say INEC should disqualify a candidate and not eligible to contest.

That INEC should disregard the vote of the 1st and 2nd respondent, and hence declare the 1st petitioner as the winner. Then what should Atiku that came 2nd with over 6.8m votes do?

I think some SANs need to think deeply before filing a petition because these are pre-election matters than is the responsibility of the party not the opposition.

Well, it would be interesting to see the outcome of the Tribunal but honestly I expected something solid from the Obi's legal team and not this joke.

The tribunal Will strick down this petition in no time.

How on earth will they bring up eligibility of winning candidate and ask court to declare the candidate who came third the winner?

NIGERIAJAGAJAGA:
What did premium time reported. They only shared 4 instead of full one.

The prayers are there now.

It's the same four which is very laughable.

Beremx:
Oh okay, it's the title that's the issue. Oh well, whatever it's called, it doesn't change the fact that he's representing his people outside home.

He is not representing anyone but his pocket.

No one will claim a plastic oba, it's an insult to Yoruba obas in Yorubaland.

searchng4love:
He's a crowned Oba with certificate of office from the governor. He owns a sizeable kingdom and real estate in Anambra State

Then it's a fraudulent process.

Even in Yorubaland, we have different classes of kings

First class kings whose crown came directly from Ife

Second class kings whose crown came from the decedents of the first class king

And third class whose crown came with out of necessity and agitation of the locals.

I have been to Onisha and Aba more than you can imagine
