Keep shouting lagos is yorubaland and see igbo man become governor of lagos state

SegzyJoe:
Interesting, Igbos are flexing their muscle in Yorubaland.

is lagos yorubaland?

oluspencer:
You people are celebrating house of reps in lagos like u will allow IMO man in Anambra

Lagos is a no man's land. Zulu man from South Africa can even go there and contest and win

Babalegba:
myopic statement. The effect of the IBO win in Lagos is that the yorubas who don't normally come our to vote will now be trooping out to vote to neutralize the ibo vote.

Troop out from where? Rural osun or what? Mark my words, in 2019, an igbo man will be elected senator in lagos.

paolo96:
Shut up Ogbeni.If your region is good,your lots won't be trooping to SW every time.
I won't be surprised if you are even typing from Yoruba land. Oloriburuku

Lagos is not, has never been, and will never be yorubaland. Lagos is no man's land. Take it or leave it.

Earlier you were beating your rusty chest on how Buhari will lose. Today what do we have? So in case you have not noticed, nobody takes your tiny threats seriously.

Rochas will be reflected as Governor of Imo State and there is absolutely nothing you will do about it.

Ok. April 11 is not far

Military has handed over the journalists to DSS

egift:
So you are done with "GEJ till 2019" and "No Vacancy In Aso Rock"?

Take it from me. There is no Jupiter on earth that will make rochas not to lose the election. Just take that as the gospel truth from me.

Okorocha will continue gloating in Kirikiri when we boot him out of imo govt house on April 11

oh i dunno, i thought she's the queen Amina of Zaria

it's not Queen Amina of Zaria, it's Queen Amina of Zazzau. Zaria is a town, Zazzau a kingdom. Product of War Criminal awolowo's half-baked free education.

Who even told these clowns that if u have an igbo APC senator that he will be made senate president

deebsman1:
at last I buy that land, after almost 8 yrs on Nairaland, just like baba Buhari .

na FTC I dey after,wetin concern me concern mama Charlie and Gowon.

Mama Charlie is queen Elizabeth

ChinemeOkpan:
I am not a fan of Saraki- too much baggage but he has paid his dues, he took risks to work for the APC and boy he delivered. Kwara is now a APC state.

If the PDP did not rig heavily in Anambra, Ngige would have won hands down. He would have been my preferred choice. Going forward, it is only sensible that Saraki from the NC gets the Senate Presidency.

ngige came 3rd, mind you

Girls lie about everything under the sun

Cheerfullad:
Shit. Liverpool making mediocre Arsenal look class. That's what u get when u spend the whole Summer hunting and buying average players.

arsenal that can beat any team on earth you call mediocre? God is watching you

Owliver:
1-2 will end it. Liverpool fans just relax

sharap

Op, number 3 is Jega's PA. He is Jega's cousin as well. From Kebbi State. Will get his marital status later

QuotaSystem:
He lives at Aguda House in Abuja, named after Akinola Aguda, a Yoruba Nigerian jurist and a former Chief Justice of Botswana.

is aguda house not where the queen stayed when she came for CHOGM?

Op, you are dumb

Seun and Mods, I was equally banned by this spambot for reasons I don't know.
Please act swiftly

Igbo Candidates Win House Of Reps Seats In Lagos



Three Igbo candidates have won elections into the House of Representatives in Lagos State. The successful candidates who contested on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, are Chief Oghene Egboh, Mrs. Rita Orji and Mr. Tony Nwoolu.

Egboh won the House of Representatives seat for Amuwo Odofin Local Government Area while Orji won in Ajeromi-Ifelodun LGA and Nwoolu won the Oshodi/Isolo Federal Constituency.



Egboh polled a total of 29,761 votes to defeat the incumbent Ganiyu Olukolu of the All Progressives Congress (APC) who scored 20,616 votes.

All the Igbo winners won in areas heavily populated by the Igbo in Lagos State. They defeated candidates of the APC, which is the ruling party in the state.

The PDP candidate in Ojo Local Government, Tajudeen Obasa also won the House of Reps seat for the area while Tunji Soyinka, also of PDP won the House of Reps seat for Surulere Federal Constituency 2.

In Mushin Federal Constituency 2, Dauda Kako Aare of the Accord Party also defeated the APC candidate, Yemi Alli, to clinch a ticket to the House of Representatives.

The victory of the Igbo candidates in Lagos State, according to some observers, is not a surprise as Igbo candidates have in the past won national elections in Lagos State. They cited the era of the National Council of Nigeria and the Cameroons, NCNC, led by the late Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe, when Igbo residing in Lagos won elections into the regional and central legislatures.

Meanwhile, Chief Egboh on Tuesday expressed his desire to attract infrastructure development to the state.

Egboh made the promise in an interview on Tuesday.

“In this particular constituency the biggest problem we have is the decay of our infrastructure. There is no water, sewage system is bad, and there are no playing grounds,” he claimed.

Egboh promised to lobby ministers in charge of the ministries responsible for such facilities for an improved infrastructure in his constituency.

“My success as member of House of Representatives-elect was very significant being a non-indigene to have won the seat for the first time in Amuwo Odofin, Federal Constituency.

“Again this is the first time the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) won in Amuwo Odofin Federal Constituency,” he said.

Egboh, however, linked his success to hard work, focus and the experience of being a politician having served two terms as councillor, both in Amuwo Odofin and Ojo Local Government Areas.
“The senior legislators will see the quality in me and my constituency will feel the impact,” he declared.

Egboh gave glory to God and thanked the people of Amuwo Odofin whom, he said, had confidence and trust in him.

The House of Reps-elect who hails from Delta said his house-to-house campaign had indeed paid him, saying he had been working for the election in the past two years.

Very funny. Is it not the same parties we heard their results in the presidential elections? AA, ADP, ACP, KOWA, HoPE, APA etc. All their votes is not up to a polling unit

While Jonathan is doing all he can to stay out of jail, get a warm retirement arrangements that will help him keep most of his loots - some ignorant TANiods are trying to put Sand-Sand in his Garri

Now where are those who promised hell to stop Buhari and Nigerian?

I have always maintained: This Change Is Unstoppable. God has remembered Nigerians and has delivered us from the claws of Corruption.

Sai Buhari. God bless Africa.

Can u jail a former president in Nigeria?

We don't hate hausa and yoruba. Just reciprocating their good gesture.
APC is dead on arrival in igboland and okorocha will learn that fact the hard way in Apr 11

Op, u are a monkey

tomzman:
As much as I preach unity and oneness, I think this attitude of Igbos is becoming something else. How ungrateful can you guys be Look at the hatred and hostility you are displaying towards your own host, turning against them in their own land. You fools are beginning to irritate me on this Forum. You hate your hosts yet you keep trooping into their land. Why not go back to your villages and develop it. You are lucky the Yorubas are very tolerant but I urge you not to push them to the wall or you would end up regretting it.

As Long as Nigeria remains one, it would do us good to unite and move the country forward. IGBOS SHOULD STOP THE HATE!

Shut the hell up. Who are you hosting? Lagos is a no man's land. With 35% igbo population. My grandfathers built lagos and we will live in it and grow it till eternity. We don't hate Yorubas, we are only paying you back in your own coin.

tundemogba12:
This is why the ibos will never rule Nigeria! Continue with your hatred politicking. Whether you like it or not, Ambode is the next governor of Lagos State in Jesus name.

Don't put Jesus and devilish Ambode in the same sentence

millyajay:
Under what geo political zone is Lagos?...unless we want to deceive ourselves..lagos belongs to the yorubas...lagostians and yorubas are too tolerant and gentle sef allowing a ibo to contest and win in lagos..that's why am proud to be a yoruba...we no dey look for trouble and trouble no dey find us..we support people who we know are best for the job regardless of the tribe..

Lagos was former federal capital. A standalone region. The capital of western region is Ibadan. Why wount igbo contest in lagos? Who built modern lagos?
