Eziachi:
[size=14pt]"Agbaje and Ambode's fight is like that fight between a husband and wife and whoever tried to meddle will get hurt and blamed after the couple's make up sex."[/size]

This statement is absolutely true. There are certain situations where a wise person simply needs to keep quiet, watch and then do whatever he/she has in mind without having to be loud or provocative about it. The way in which we Igbos openly scream and associate with Jimi and also brag about our large population and political influence in Lagos has just fuelled a needless tribal war between the Igbos and Yorubas. If you turn the tables around, I'm sure the Igbos would equally feel bad if placed under similar circumstances. Right now even some Yorubas who originally preferred Jimi are now having a rethink because the Lagos election has been reduced to a needless and senseless battle of tribal supremacy of which it absolutely ought not to be.

Furthermore, I think it is also senseless and provocative for anyone to argue about the ownership of Lagos. Lagos by all standards may be termed a No Man's Land but that is not to say the land doesn't originally belong to the Yorubas. For several decades, everyone has lived peacefully in Lagos without bad blood; everyone is welcome to come and go at any time and everyone is even welcome to settle. However, it becomes rather provocative to the original owners on the land if anyone for any reason begins to brag and claim ownership of Lagos because they have a large population and have attained economic prosperity. Such a needless and provocative claim only leads to one outcome, 'bad blood/enmity' for whoever makes the claim (history all over the world proves this). It becomes even worse when the person or tribe making the claim truly have an intimidating population and successful profile.

In line with the quoted statement above, being quiet and inconspicuous in certain situations remains the purest form of wisdom.

Enough is Enough: Our igbo brothers Niger Deltans , Northerners we can do it. this is the time to pay fashola back what he did to Igbos and Niger Deltans. he has indirectly shutdown so many Igbo businesses in lagos state. its obvious tinubu and fashola doesnt like igbos and SS people in lagos state.

This irrational thinking and paranoia exhibited by some Igbos continues to get more and more irritating. Fashola's government 'deported' destitute beggars to Oyo, Osun, Ekiti, Ondo and Anambra. I do not understand how this has been interpreted to mean that Fashola hates Igbos. What about the Yoruba beggars that were also 'deported'?... I do not understand why this act has been used to generate and fuel unnecessary hatred and ethnic division; what nonsense!!... Does it also mean that Fashola hates Yorubas from other states too?

Why do the Igbos propagating this hate speeches and propaganda conveniently forget that Governor Peter Obi of Anambra also 'deported' destitute beggars to Akwa-Ibom and Ebonyi states respectively?... Does this also mean that Peter Obi is a hater of Ibibios and fellow Igbos?... Why are the Ibibios not threatening fire and brimstone or preaching hate against the Igbos?

Why is no one talking about the beggars 'deported' by Amaechi from port-harcourt?... Why is no one talking about the beggars Akpabio 'deported' from Akwa-Ibom?.... Why is it only Fashola everyone knows?

We (Igbos) need to stop this unnecessary and counter-productive campaigns of calumny and hate. We need to stop this vindictive attitude of antagonising everybody, it doesn't help anyone and it has never helped anyone (just the same way a constantly nagging wife can never make her husband better through her nagging). It only makes others get irritated by our presence.

kay29000:
All through Jonathan's reign, there was a large group people that kept saying Buhari was sponsoring Boko Haram to make sure they make Nigeria ungovernable for Jonathan. Lets say that was true, why are there still Boko Haram attacks after Buhari has won? I usually just used to laugh when people said that back in the day. Do you know the complexity and the finances needed to run a terrorist group? And they believed Buhari was behind that.

Buhari was contesting against Jonathan, hence he was Jonathan's main rival.

Bokoharam was fighting against the Nigerian state and since GEJ was clueless on how to tackle them, the insurgency kept rubbishing his govt.

So if both BH and Buhari were against Jonathan, then Buhari and BH must be one and the same. Simple logic by simple minds!... and this is termed, SIMPLE MINDEDNESS

I can swear with my life that Buhari won the election. Just the same way I can also swear with my life that Jonathan won the election in 2011. Let's stop deceiving ourselves, you cannot compare the population of the North to the SE/SS... and then to complicate matters, the SW and middle belt pulled their support from Jonathan. Only a miracle or a mad case of rigging could have made Jonathan win this election.

Seriously, did you really look at the results of all the online polls?... Why do people actually think Jonathan could have won this election with just the SE/SS votes?

Politics › Re: How Jega Defeated Jonathan For Buhari By Femi Aribisala by obailala(m): 8:11am On Apr 08, 2015*

In 2011, the Igbo gave Goodluck Jonathan a decisive 5 million votes. The task of INEC in 2015 was to ensure that did not recur.

INEC rigmarole

Buhari prevailed as a result of a deliberate disenfranchisement of the Igbo by INEC through the manipulation of PVC distribution and the failure of the card reader in the South-East and the South-South. INEC ensured that, far more disproportionately and relative to other geopolitical zones, millions of South-East voters disappeared between 2011 and 2015, in order to provide a smooth passage for a Northern presidential candidate; which turned out to be Buhari.

Absolutely irritating rubbish!

Sometimes I wonder where these people generate these senseless one sided emotional statistics from. How can anyone in his right senses say INEC disenfranchised voters in the SS and SE but not in the north?... In terms of PVC, did Femi also check the millions of people who couldnt also get PVCs in the north?... or did his research start and end in the SS & SE?

Femi says the SE produced 5million votes in 2011 but couldn't do up to 50% of that in 2015. Did Femi also care to check the drastic reduction of votes in the north west and north east between 2011 and 2015?... or did his research also end just in the SS/SE?

Comparing the population of both regions, did Femi expect the SS/SE to produce the same number of voters as the NW and NE?

The greatest invention which checkmated the impunity of election rigging was the use of card readers. The use of the card readers reduced the voting outcome in the north by well more than 50%. This was also the case in the SS/SE even though we still got unbelievable figures from Rivers State and Delta. The election results showed a voter turnout of about 50% in the north (including places like Kano and katsina); this wouldnt have been the case if not for the card readers. Ironically, states like Rivers and Delta produced almost 70% voter turnout which is clearly indicative of 1 thing, rigging!.. But obviously Femi ~~didnt~~ refused to see that but instead chose to spew some silly statistics to cause confusion and disaffection. It is only a not-too-smart or dubious person that would expect the North to produce the same number of voters as the SS/SE even with the population difference.

In summary, there were elements of rigging in the north and also clear evidence of rigging in the SE/SS however even in a free and fair election devoid of rigging, Jonathan would still have lost this election.

I supported APC tirelessly for a change in Nigeria and am happy GMB won, but I have tried to find a way to convince my self to support Ambode dis coming sat but now the Oba of lagos has given me a reason. With no doubt though am a change supporter, Jimi Agbaje is the kind of change lagos needs. He is well matured , got the Humility and seemed focused than Ambode. At the level I have gotten to both educational and status I can't be carried away or persuaded on whom to vote or not. Lagosians let's vote personality!

Politics › The Return Of Tribalism To Nairaland by obailala(op): 12:46pm On Apr 07, 2015

While the general elections approached, I was really excited about the inexplicable disappearance of the sickening tribal arguments and insults between the Yorubas and Igbos which was a previous tradition on this forum. Everyone seemed to have pitched their tent with either the PDP or APC and while it lasted, we enjoyed a season free of the sickening tribal slurs. I always prayed we wouldn't go back to that horrible tradition but unfortunately, it seems we couldn't even wait for the elections to be over.

The Igbos restarted by accusing the Yorubas of betrayal for teaming/conspiring with the Hausas to unseat their GEJ. This to me was a baseless accusation because there was never any agreement between both tribes to support GEJ. The Yorubas reserve a right to vote or support whoever they want; in 2011, they gave GEJ over 90% of their votes (even though they had their kinsman as his vice then). In 2015, probably due to GEJ's less than stellar performance, majority Yorubas (57%) shifted their support to GMB (even though 43% of the SW still stuck with and supported GEJ). I do not understand why this is regarded as betrayal leading to hostilities especially as no agreement was even signed between both tribes.

Then probably in response to the anger and accusations of the Igbos, the Yoruba Oba of Lagos made a misguided, inciting and insulting threat against the Igbos; a careless statement which may cost APC the Lagos state governorship and further fuel hatred between both tribes. Also, the recent misguided statement by Kunle Afolayan, a respected movie producer accusing and openly insulting Igbos of piracy has also not helped matters as it has just poured more fuel into a raging flame.

Now we seem to have been sunk back into an even deeper lagoon of hatred; the next dispensation of tribal battles on Nairaland could be really messy. How can this senseless battle be averted?

God help us!

You are so naive. It's like you actually believe that people's votes would count in this election. Didn't you see what happened on March 28 in the North , Ss and SE?

Gone are the days when rigging easily wins for people. Lagosians are more enlightened and rigging is much more difficult these days. Even with Lagos being an APC state, go and take a look at the presidential election results of last week and see the close chase the PDP gave.

Politics › Re: Delta State Guber Race: Who Is Your Choice Among The Three Top Contenders by obailala(m): 10:46am On Apr 07, 2015*

Delta is a 99% PDP state. Also, Delta North areas (where Okowa comes from) has a large voting population and this is the first time they are producing a governorship candidate. Hence, Okowa has a high chance of winning.

Ogboru is loved by a lot of people and has been robbed consecutively by the PDP in previous elections; his only chance would have come if he joined APC this time around but he always seems to fraternise with insignificant parties. Furthermore, with APC fielding an Urhobo man also, this would share the votes of the massive Urhobo population

O'Tega may be in the ruling party APC but I dont see him as a popular candidate at all. Also, he would be sharing the votes of the Urhobo population with Ogboru.

My final verdict, PDP wins, followed by LP and followed by APC.

The Oba of lagos is not a Yoruba or APC spokesperson but unfortunately, in our usual irrational emotional manner, it will be difficult to convince a lot of people about this. Inciting statements like that actually raise emotions which block the sense of logical reasoning in people. It would take some time before the emotions die down but since Saturday is just a few days from now, I'm afraid this misguided statement by the oba can cost Ambode the governorship.

Unfortunately the misguided statement of the oba has just cost Ambode the governorship. A lot of people who weren't necessarily on any camp would tend to lean to the side of Jimi in protest against the oba's indiscretion.

Never underestimate the power of emotions; the timing of the Oba's statement was also very bad because it would take a while before the negative emotions created by the statement dies down. Unfortunately, the election is only in a few days and this irrational emotion would swing a lot of votes in favour of Jimi.

I term the emotions 'irrational' because the choice of thousands of people have just been changed out of anger created by the statement of one irrelevant man who isn't even in the APC; an ordinary APC supporter as the case may be but his careless statement has just influenced the decision of a lot of peopl.

ZKOSOSO:
After a deep thought on the undemocratic utterance of Lagos monarch on why all Ibos should vote for Ambode, I discovered that Religion of the next Oba of lagos is behind this.
Recall that Tinubu handpicked Akiolu over the popular Dosumu lineage in the last oba of lagos selection purely on religious ground. Tinubu want to plant Muslims as leaders in all of yorubaland wherever and whenever the need arises.
Since the oba Akiolu confessed that jimi agbaje is his blood relation and a christian and we know that sitting governors have a lot of influence in the selection of monarch as we witnessed in Kano recently, in the event of death of the Oba, if jimi agbaje gets power, both Tinubu and Akiolu's son may not be able to plant another Muslim Oba of Lagos.
Religion of the next Oba of lagos is behind the choice of an Ondo indigene (ambode) who can easily be manipulated by Tinubu machinery to do what he has brought to the yorubaland Politics since 2005- planting muslims leaders across the West!
Am still thinking though!!

While we are still struggling to come to terms with the ethnic/tribal division in this case, another idiotic theorists is now trying to include religion into the mess.

Hate will do nothing but eat up the soul of the hater; right now the irrational hate for anything with links to APC has been transfered to fellow Igbo men like Ngige and Rochas who were the first to foresee the emergence of a new government at the centre. Perhaps the new found hate for these men is for their effrontery to see what other Igbos refused to see. I may be wrong on this and that is why I ask, what is this hate on Rochas based on?... Is it Rochas that gave Buhari 15million votes to dethrone GEJ?
