Watch the TRIBALISTIC angry uneducated and thuggish miscreants come here and hurl insults at this young man like a bunch of rabid drug addicted beasts they are

You should know people can decipher a person's level dumbness from their choice of words.Especially those that call others names at will.

As Nigerians brace up for the Governorship and State House of Assembly phase of the 2023 general elections due for Saturday March 11, Lagosians have another date to keep with history. People-driven history will be made, so they must beware of the symbolic Ides of March which is cloaked in the campaign of falsehood and divisive ethnic politicking by individuals whose fabled political structure was crushed in the last presidential election in Lagos.

The desperados are jittery about another defeat and whipping up primitive sentiments against Labour Party's Governorship Candidate, Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour (GRV), calling him names in order to turn indigenous people against him. In reality, what they are afraid of is the solid pedigree of this original Lagosian, his ability to deliver and vintage ethnic hybrid position to play the politics of inclusiveness that accommodate everyone, no matter ethnic, religious or economic status.

Who is this Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour and why are they so keen to disparage him with unfounded fallacies? Gbadebo (‘The one who brings the crown’) is a Lagos original with true blood flowing in his veins. He is a proud descendant of the prestigious Rhodes-Vivour family, whose pedigree as foremost legal luminaries and judges, with distinguished contributions to the state's development, date back to the 1800s - about 400 years in history.

Indeed, Gbadebo is the great grandson of eminent Justice Steven Bankole Rhodes, a founding father of the executive and judiciary, who served on the Executive Council with eminent Nigerians like Adeyemo Alakija. They and similarly minded nationalists built Lagos, a credit some people have been trying to steal. Also, Gbadebo's uncle is the Supreme Court Judge, Justice Bode Rhodes Vivour.

In terms of direct parentage, GRV’s own father is Barrister Olawale Rhodes-Vivour, a distinguished lawyer and detribalized son, who embodies the Lagos spirit of accommodation by marrying a wonderful Igbo woman, Nkechi, who is Gbadebo’s mother today. Interestingly, GRV’s diverse names as Gbadebo (‘The one who brings the crown’), Chinedu (‘God is leading’) and Patrick (‘of noble origin’) all point to a man destined for greatness and leadership.

So, with such a rich and highly accommodating pedigree, politicians are afraid that GRV's candidacy makes it easy for both members of the Igbo and Yoruba tribes to support, trust and see him as one of their own. Before and after the last presidential election, Gbadebo’s rising profile as an authentic unifying face of Lagos made powers that be to descend to sponsoring social media influencers to promote a fake campaign of an Igbo takeover agenda. They even lied about GRV saying Lagos is no man’s land.

The truth is that the opponents do not want a true and accommodating indigene to be governor. Greed for power and resources makes the enemies of Lagos go any length to retain power. However, a GRV, aside from a rich pedigree, will bring a breath of fresh air and restore the original glory of the state with inclusive and progressive development policies.

He has pledged to use 10% of Lagos IGR to empower 1 million poor Lagosians with interest-free loans. GRV has plans to rehabilitate the ‘Agberos’, area boys and thugs, and reintegrate them back into society as responsible citizens. He will fix the bad roads in all parts: from Ikotun, Ijegun, Satellite town, Lagos-Badagry Expressway and Ikorodu to Sagamu Expressway, irrespective of the predominant tribe living there in order to boost international trade.

GRV will provide affordable housing and stop the racket that goes on with government built homes. A LP government will make life better for the civil servants, the middle class, will improve wages and salaries for government workers, as well as fight for the poor and the economically disadvantaged. Today, Lagos has over 1 trillion naira debt portfolio and contractual obligations of over 500 billion naira.

GRV’s plan is built around quality and affordable education in public schools, quality and very affordable health services. He will also ensure provision of drinkable water to as many homes as possible and will fight for the poor and underprivileged by introducing transparency into procurement and contracting process and a level playing field to enable the participation of all qualified persons.

GRV supported and coordinated the campaign of Peter Obi as the most competent presidential candidate. With incontrovertible evidence, GRV supports Mr. Obi’s legal bid to contest the presidential election results in Lagos because Obi won the state overwhelmingly. Opponents actually see GRV, a true Lagosian, as their biggest threat to that selfish anti-secession plan.

GRV resolutely refused to sell out and step down from the governorship race in spite of the enticements wrapped as so-called mouth-watering pecuniary offers. Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour stands on principles of fairness, integrity, equity, justice and inclusiveness to enthrone a new government that will benefit everyone in Lagos, no matter where they come from.

You can campaign for your candidate and be fairl & honest. Your paragraph 4 shows how typically one of the problems of Nigerian politicians you are; where you said """they ( the Rhodes you mean) and similarly minded nationalist build lagos, a credit some people want to steal""""
Does this mean the said people were not part of those that built Lagos? Oga you are one of the problem types.

Felabrity:
Every candidate dey find structureless Labour party endorsements

Structureless yet it gives you nightmares

Toneypen247:
Both tribes are guilty of what you are claiming. Do you feel it is just one-sided? For every cause, there is an effect. If we are to judge in this case, the Igbo face the worst of tribal attacks daily. I know how many times I have been abused tribally on naira land just for airing my opinion on a subject matter. I will be tagged as Ipob or Biafra. Stop pointing accusation finger bro. It is worst from both end and the igbo face the attack the most. Don't be sentimental here.

Just for supporting the LP gubernatorial candidate for lagos state, I can count out the nonsense that have been said about the Igbo tribe because the candidate mother is igbo. I guess you didn't see that angle.

Thank you for admitting both tribes are guilty: your primary assignment here is to school your brothers against such behaviour first before trying to correct others or expect non hatred from others.

kcnwaigbo:
The next Governor of Lagos

You said same for president on Obi, better wait for result first

Toneypen247:
I remember back then as an undergraduate, we taught the logical argument on inductive and deductive reasoning. While the former depends on probable ground to an objective claim, the latter makes use of general to particular instances. However, inductive reasoning have been criticised as having less substantial data that is not worth making a general claim.

That Mr john claims that rice is bad
Mr Charles claims that rice is bad
Mr Wilson claims that rice is bad,
Will it be logical to conclude that since all characters are men, it, therefore, follows that all men claim that rice is bad?

This is the same scenario you have been portraying bro. You are generalizing from particular instances. I watched a video of MC Oluomo and some others guys threatening the igbo people in lagos against voting another party. Will it be logical for me to conclude that since all the major characters are Yoruba by tribe, it therefore follows that all yoruba are against igbos or hate igbos?

This is a simple logic. The claim you keep making is not substantial and worth generAlizing. Everyone isn't the same and thus, it is important to learn the difference.

Thanks.

Very correct. You should not generalize with a few casese, but did you also play your role to sensitize your people when they generalise with unguarded statements online about yorubas ( did they put any clause to show that they don't refer to all yorubas) on certain issues?
Go to the tribal comments on nairaland, you cannot say your folks are not also guilty of the offence you just pointed out. I still think you should spend most of your time teaching them first before correcting others.

Toneypen247:
C'mon you should know where and who you should be directing this message to. With the whole happening in Lagos and the video evidence in the internet, who do you think instigates tribalism?

Why have the Igbos always been painted as the villain in every political activity? Haba!! Search your conscience brother. The hate towards igbo is too much.

So you think they can win their quest by fueling the "supposed hatred" ? For e.g will calling their land 'No man's Land foster love? If Hausa call Enugu no man's Land we all know what you will do.
If you are a guest in another man's place it is expexted you play low, you will not win by going against your host. It happens everywhere even overseas. Just teach them this fact.

Toneypen247:
Point of correction, it is Igbo and not yeibo. Also I should talk sense to them to vote against their wish? I don't understand. Are we no longer practising democracy anymore? Is it a crime to vote against tyranny and oppression?

Don't try to digress, nobody say they should not practice what ever they want the point is they can be civil in their doings so as not to attrat hatred upon themselves. Courtesy goes a long way in enhancing relationships they should caution their utterances to their host. They should improve upon their manners.

Toneypen247:
The reeks of tribalism in lagos isn't centred on the argument on who owns the land. Lagos has always been a southwest state from the onset and thus, it will be a false premise on any proposition made as to who owns the land.
The wave of tribalism has been long planted by the elites who make use of it for political gains and have had consequences over the years and down to this present time. Tribalism is a trajectory of the poverty of the mind. Prosperity of failure knows no tribe. We must shun tribalism at all cost. We are first humans before tribes.💯

Chairman leave grammar and talks sense to your yiebo brothers

Goodmarlian:
Nobody dey drag land with them,it was just because obi won lagos they felt igbos have outnumbered them in their land hence the yoruba ronu noise.

I wonder how your brain works. You think only yiebos make up Labor? The youth gave their votes not just yiebos.Now you brag of out numbering yorubas, when the state government begins to launch policies that don't favour you your mouth go shut. Ode

NOC1:
Only a fool will say that Lagos is no mans land

Like yiebos.

kellyjc:
A moniker that was created yesterday yet has spent more time here than some that are a month older is here to talk about tribalism while quoting an inconsequential fool who could not put his home in order from the same tribe he detest. Lagos is a south western state but also a cosmopolitan just like Abuja. Every Nigerian has equal rights no matter where they live in Nigeria.
For those of you quoting me, you haven't pointed out to me what part of my comment is wrong.
Nobody is arguing whether or not Lagos is a Yoruba land.
If this has to do with Grv and Sanwolu, then I will tell you that this is the first time a true lagosian is going to rule Lagos. And again,sanwolu is just a place holder.

You are so dumb: If Sanwo doesn't rule again fine. The point he made is LAGOS IS NOT NO MAN'S LAND.Another yoruba will emerge even if not Sanwo Olu. You only confirm the assertions that yorubas will be more wise with their hospitality to foreigners.

Asgard13:
One day seyi will lord over lagosians and worship by Yoruba people ..like his father..

That’s good.

Thats the point, Tinubu is already grooming him

The thugs have just started, we haven't seen anything yet

When a politician needs you he begs, when he's done you are on your own.

Injera:
IBO can never rule this nation except Biafra.No miracle can happen till thy kingdom come
Try anyhow in Lagos collect wotowoto

Are igbos not humans? Whem will you start using your brain please.

Goodlady:
Do that jobless man

Good, you got the message. Just stop being dumb

Goodlady:
lulu is a name of a failed beverage drink company few years ago.
Your name sounds like failure.
Think about your life

Snap our dialogue and post online for the world to pick the dumb person amongs us Lets see.

ShaqFu:
Ah ah. Na WA oh. Imagine David Hundeyin with all his self righteousness and holier than thou attitude.

I've often maintained that most Nigerians who insult politicians, do so out of the fact that they're not eating or benefitting directly from the politician...

well, that could be true

Goodlady:
A lot. I finished school, got a job. Met a good man though he's Obidient and he's becoming nuts with this Obi thing. He doesn't understand politics.

Mumu, olodo like you is that what you were asked? How can somebody's not understanding politics be your achievement?

Ijaya06:
I'll need 10 plates of this to be full 🌝. They still collect tax of $5. Con ask me for tips again

Come back home now

trutharena:
Something interesting happened in the video if people can take note.

Babagana Kingibe wife is Ireti-Kingibe and she just won the Labor party Abuja senate in the concluded election.

She is the one kneeling down to greet Tinubu in the video.

Chai. They don carry Obiidiots handicap o.

I wonder if your parents trained you to call people names.

rottennaija:
USA should go and sit down. INEC is doing the best it can under the circumstances

Birds of a feather.

Agunesinjaweola:
It is high time the Alaba Market and other places where the IPOB miscreants are desecrating be converted to ShopRite or Health Center to cater for the welfare of people.

Thus the reason why the Fulani doesn't trust them because of their narrow ethnic mentality especially dis-OBIdients in Lagos.

Well, the point is Obidients votes in Lagos can unseat your Governor.

CoronaVirusRelo:
😂🤣😀


They already thinking of producing the next loser 😀🤣😂

Bring forth your candidate, and let us send him to where we placed Peter!

All what that loser needs is obituaries support and he is doomed!

Oga better start begging, all your supporters in Lagos cannot beat the population of obidients use your brain

menstrualpad:
Ohanaeze-Ndigbo should beg clearly and stop going through the corners

I though yiebos say they don't beg anyone

Kobonaire4:
Here is a thought. 13.1 million people did not vote for APC, out of the 21 m who did vote.

If those 13.1 million people had voted for one party, APC would have been voted out. But because they voted for 3 different parties, the votes got divided, and APC won the election.

The truth is, APC lost this election. Most Nigerians did not vote for them, nor do they like them. But they won because Atiku and Peter Obi and Kwankwaso and Wike could not at the very least compromise with each other.

That is the sad cold truth. A disunited opposition loses the election.

Like I said, APC did not win this election, the opposition lost it.

Correct!!

Bornbiafra:
President of zoo

Mumu, at this stage you should Congratulate the winner or shut up

burp18:
Interesting timesOrtom failed whole fully in Benue. PDP could have won until it broke up into factions. LP helped Tinubu become president. People were already tired of the APC. Votes that could have guaranteed the PDP a win was split with LP.

Correct!!
