lhordspy: Kingsley Moghalu, former deputy governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) reacts to the ongoing insult and social media cancelling of Nobel laureate Wole Soyinka by the Obidients group.
* Prof. Wole Soyinka had earlier criticise the "do-or-die attitude and provocations” of Labour party Presidential/Vice presidential candidates and their supporters, adding that it is unacceptable that Datti-Ahmed Baba is trying to dictate to the supreme arbitier of the nation.
He should be picked up and locked away in the same room with Nnamdi kanu, his arch-rival. People who don't believe in democracy shouldn't be allowed to participate again in our democratic process.
Cyberterror: Who says opposition parties cannot collaborate with the ruling party in matters of national interest? Nyesom Wike is not playing politics of bitterness like Obi Pandora and his Ipob bandwagon of Yes Daddy religious extremists and separatists.
Tinubu has already been declared president by the umpire - INEC.
In May, Tinubu would be sworn in as president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Obi has completely shot himself in the foot with this audio leak.
Can he go to Sokoto or Zamfara to ever campaign again?
Use your brain for a second.
His fate is sealed... He will never be president of this country. Anytime he contests, all his opponent needs to do is bring up this audio recording especially in the north. He is finished politically. He should simply retire from politics.
This one will soon join Nnamdi Kanu,they're using him as a scapegoat.
He will be arraigned for terrorism within the week and permanently remanded in DSS custody. Others will soon join him including Baba Ahmed and Mr "YES Daddy", the crusader.
North4Obi23: I can only say we're getting there. A day will come when barefaced injustice you receive by being an Igbo shall be no more. It's a matter of time. The whole world was shocked when a British Minister called out FFK for threatening Igbos in Lagos for coming out to vote. Federal Govt kept quiet or maybe secretly supporting or promoting the genocide against one tribe that denies them sleep. The Party, APC, which FFK spoke for kept mute and was only ashamed after a British envoy called them out. Now, arresting Eze Frederick and allowing those who threatened and later even carried out attacks to walk free..., what message is ths police passing? I think I understand them. It's a brazen show of hate and injustice against a tribe that doesn't beg for federal government money to succeed. I don't want a country built on injustice and hate because the consequences must come one day and will be grave. This country belongs to everyone equally and selective injustice or justice will crumble Nigeria one day. Already, the British has seen that in Lagos first-hand and has gone to media to condemn it. Let's see what future holds for a country like Nigeria.
thisisit: SO FAST AND SWIFT.... IT IS THIS SELECTIVE ARREST OF ONLY OPPOSITION THAT LEAD TO CRISIS
You haven't seen anything yet... More of you will be picked up soon and arraignment will be swift.... Kirikiri, they are coming. Only sane immigrants will be allowed in Lagos and Yorubaland
His bail application should be adjourned to Dec 2027 if he applies for one.
Now, Amotekun should step in and begin to search every nook and crany of Yorubaland especially Lagos for these criminals called IPOB and their sponsors
BombAttack: Open Letter To #Obidients : We have seen with dismay the continued brazen rape of our democracy by #APC and #INEC. We have waited for courts to grant orders to help us retrieve our stolen mandate , But #INEC and #APC do not obey court orders. We have seen the complete state capture of our country and the Terrorism meted on Obidient Voters particularly in Lagos State and Rivers State yesterday, during the Gubernatorial Elections across Nigeria 🇳🇬. We also witnessed @inecnigeria failure to upload all results real-time at Polling stations, in direct violation of #INEC guidelines and a court order obtain by the GRV campaign. Bottom line is #INEC refused to obey court orders. We can no longer seat back and do nothing. We must come out in a massive peaceful protest 🪧 against the brazen violations of our rights, At #INEC offices across Nigeria 🇳🇬. Monday 20th 2023 is the beginning of the demand for our rights as Nigerians.
Use these 3 Hashtags: #OccupyINEC #SaveNigeriaDemocracy #OurMandateMustBeRestored
Soldiers should get ready... they should use live bullet if required. We can't condone any act of violence.
What if we the supporters of the winners also come out to counter them and even slug it out? Let's do that in Lagos and even conclude this struggle for Lagos on the street
That's what our Igbo brothers and some demented Eluu Pee Yoruba supporters are telling us. Igbos can be clannish in their voting patterns but when the Yorubas say Lagos is for Yorubas and go to the field to implement it, they are tagged "tribalists" by igbos. Some irresponsible Yoruba opposition supporters also jump in their support.
Anyway, we don't care. Lagos is for Yorubas, period!
Those who think Onanugu should apologize must have their heads examined. He spoke on behalf of the Yorubas (anywhere they might be). Igbos should blame themselves for whatever happens to them if they continue to poke their irritating noses into the politics of Lagos. Yorubas like Gbadebo who want to take advantage of the clannishness of igbos should be rendered personal non-grata in our political space.
chokekachy: Onanuga is the Director, Media and Publicity APC Presidential Campaign Council.

This should include revoking C of Os in choice locations across the state and reallocating them. Choice locations should only be owned by the Yorubas - igbos can be tenants there if they choose to or relocate to their erosion ravaged land in SE.
It is also high time we rebuilt Ladipo and Alaba markets and give them a befitting facelift. How can we have a market like Ladipo in that terrible state in the middle of Lagos? It should be demolished immediately, and a 5-year plan put together to rebuild it.
Rebuke: A man who was allegedly beaten by suspected APC thugs has called for the cancellation of the Lagos State Governorship election. According to him, the thugs also stole his gold wristwatch and bangle. In the background of the recording, some individuals can be heard confirming his account, with one claiming to be an eyewitness to the incident.
The man further alleged that the popular Yoruba musician known as Ayide Wasiu, also known as KWAM1, was involved in ballot box snatching and had worked with the thugs to carry out the act in a particular compound.
He accused the Nigerian police of colluding with the thugs to prevent Labour Party supporters from voting, and claimed that they had supported the thugs in carrying out violent attacks on innocent voters.
With all the chest beating on social media and noise everywhere, igbos in Lagos didn't show up for election yesterday just because of ordinary Oro festival. Ordinary Oro... what if we step it up and bring in other powerful gods in Yorubaland? They will run away from Lagos?
These are the same people talking about war. I really pity them.
