1000% of the igbos even those in Abia and abroad that has never been to Lagos. I had a friend in Abuja, Igbo whey never come Lagos for him life before carried gbarebo for head

They sometimes act very funny on political matters.

paramakina202:
Governor Adeleke is also partly Igbo and speaks Igbo fluently.How about Jimmy Agbaje that Tinubu camp branded Igbo just to demarket him?

Gov Ademola Adeleke is older ,wiser and more matured than Gbadebo.

He is proud of his Yorubas ancestry and eloquent in both Yoruba and Igbo languages.


Have you ever seen Gov Adeleke making ANY statements about tribes?

Kukutente23:
You made it sound so simple. That's how it usually is from a keypad. David may be right or not but a hostile takeover is not so easily brushed aside as you put it. Moreso when the hostile party is well connected and powerful in a country like Nigeria.

GSK is not limited to Nigeria.
If he is so powerful to constitute a threat to the shares of GSK in Nigeria, he could as well buy the shares of GSK in Johannesburg or London or Ghana Stock Exchanges. We GSK be running away from every country where connected capitalists (there are in every country) want to massively buy their shares?

If you leave Aba for Abeokuta because it is raining, will you also leave Abeokuta when it starts raining?

Congratulations to him.


However, he is not the first professor in the Nigerian Army.

Col Ibrahim Yakassai, former Military Physician to Gen Sani Abacha , later became a Professor of Obstetric & Gynaecology

This David Hundeyin guy isn't very intelligent and only impress his dull followers. This is the reason why he quickly block those who ask critical questions about his posts on tweeter. He is only comfortable with the Obidients, majority of whom aren't well educated and well informed.

1) By simple Boardroom Policies, GSK could have reduced their shares available for public trading e.g from 49% to 30%. So the so-called Cabinet member couldn't have taken over the company because, the highest shares he would be able to buy will be 30% (and it is not even possible for one person to buy all the traded shares).

2) GSK can exit the Nigerian Stock Exchange if they don't want certain people from buying into their shares that can lead to a hostile take over by transiting from GSK Nigeria Plc to GSK Nigeria Ltd, without pulling out of the country.

3) If they are afraid of hostile take-over by the so-called Cabinet Minister in Nigeria, can't such a person target their shares in London Stock Exchange or Johannesburg Stock Exchange?

4) Will GSK be running from every country when and if some Capitalists want to massively buy over their shares?

Omobude244:
lolz
eyah
the igbo man again
u just have to assume everyone is associated with the igbos.

The problem u had with OBI is because he is igbo. nothing else. everyone knows that, and majority of yorubas are already admitting to it.

And why is it a problem if Peter Obi is an Igbo?

paramakina202:
You are free to choose your candidate without tagging your opponent as Igbo.

But Chinedu Rhodes-Vivour is partly Igbo, speaks Igbo fluently and his campaign was spear headed by many Igbos. He was the candidate supported by 95% of the Igbos in Lagos.

Omobude244:
then what was jimi agbaje sin?

that is what the post is all about

But Jimi Agbaje said he would elevate Eze Ngbigbo to the status of a First Class Monarch in Lagos. The opposition in Lagos has been playing the Igbo card as a campaign strategy since 2011.

One of the problems with Gbadebo is that HE TALKS TOO MUCH.


If you want to gain power, learn when and how to talk. You can't be on Social Media tweeting everyday and say you want power, because you are likely to say things that will not go down well with many people, thereby creating more enemies than friends.

I can't just stop laughing here.

igwebuike01:
If this picture is the largest slum then Enugu is heaven compare to SW. This place no reach 0.1% of Makoko

Leave the SW out of this, let us look inward. Nigeria is still a very under developed country and each State need to work harder to develop their States.

Spirited Nigerians should raise funds to help this young man that went astray but now back to his senses.

bestman09:
Our corrupt judiciary, Always using technicality to rob the people.

Blame the leadership of the Labour Party who at the last minutes ,after collecting bribes started substituting the names of the authentic candidates with those who didn't participate in the primaries, even the name of Prof Awamaridi was changed and replaced with Gbadebo-Rhodes Vivour

Sanwo-Olu should learn from the mistakes of the past and ignore this group.


There is no point trying to appease those who have consistently show that they hate you.

christejames:
Of course, Lagos culture is entirely different from those of average Yorubas...

The Awori, Egun, Badagry and some other indeginous tribes in Lagos have some kind of distinct culture from the average Yorubas


It's the emigration of Yorubas from Northern part of Lagos, with the immigrants leading as top officials in the state making it the reasons the Lagos state is having some semblance of Yorubas in it. Even the Ijaws and Edos will claim Lagos state as theirs first before even any Yoruba will attempt to


Indeginous Lagos names like Coker, Hundeyin, Gbadamosi, Funsho, Bucknor, Sarumi etc have little or no meaning in Yoruba. Even the culture of Eyo was alien to the Yorubas, Eyo masquerades is indeginous to Lagosians which the Yorubas have adopted as theirs , in the Yoruba folklore, there was nothing like masquerade as they have it today in Eyo... The Yoruba culture could be akin to that of the Hausas.


The case of indeginous Lagosians could be seen in same light to those of Kalabari in Rivers State where but Igbo and Ijaw is seen as forming that language.

You wrote, out of ignorance. You don't have deep knowledge about Lagos or Yoruba History and culture.

The fact that you think FUNSHO has no meaning in Yoruba language shows that you don't even understand Yoruba language.

Coker and Bucknor are European Names. They have no peculiarities with Lagos. As a matter of fact, there is no name that is solely a Lagos Name.

Sarumi is title (e.g Sarumi-Adini), often used by Yoruba Islamic Communities in the 19th century , possibly of Arabic word and it has nothing peculiar with Lagos. In fact, the most popular Sarumi Family are from Ilesha, Osun State (branches of the family can be found scattered across Yorubaland , including Lagos).

Hundeyin in an Ogu name. The Ogus/Egun are a distinct but related tribe to the Yoruba. Aworis, Ijebu and Egba are Yoruba tribes and are indigenous to Lagos and Ogun States.


Eyo Masquarade was introduced to Lagos from Yorubas in the hinterland and evolved from the Oro Festival in the 19th century. Earliest versions of the Eyo Masqeurade is still practiced in Iperu-Remo, Ogun State.

paramakina202:
But he got hundreds of thousands of votes in last election and would have won if the election was free and fair.

Sanwo-Olu got about twice the votes he got. He only rode on the anti-Tinubu sentiments due to the M-M ticket and support from some non-indigenes. If the elections were conducted by Angels, he won't win.

Gbadebo should leave Social Media for a while or gets an aide to handle his social media accounts.

He talks too much for someone that wants to get to POWER.


No serious man that wants POWER talk all the time.

adamusuleiman3:
It seems every time this guy opens his mouth, more stupidity comes out of it.

Same way he said Sanwo Olu was an Ijebu man. He was actually right but not bright enough to know that Ijebus are also indigineous to Lekki, Epe, and Ikorodus areas of Lagos. Ijebu practically shares a border with Lagos. Heck, his running mate was an Ijebu woman from Ikorodu.

For someone that wants to run for an election especially in Lagos, he needs to act more and talk less. He talks too much for someone that wants to be a leader.

drlateef:
Mostly prostitution in Italy and other parts of Europe. I don’t see Edo among professionals in UK. Most of them are Yoruba.

That was in the past. The Oba of Bini and notable Bini chiefs have waded in and put machineries in place to stop women trafficking in Edo State. The Edo people traveling out now are mostly professionals.

thesicilian:
Coming from the owner of a private airline, sounds a bit selfish to me. We all know that public owned organisations are more affordable for the masses than private which are more profit oriented. What we should be focusing on is accountability and maintenance, not pumping subsidies into private companies

At what cost to Government coffer?

African culture is largely conservative and doesn't encourage critical thinking, in ways that could challenge the status quo

Padipadi:
Atiku's a learner. Na now u know say PDP is toothless.
Same oriburuku mistake Atiku and Obi made was what Ajaka and Dino made against Ododo of Kogi.
Now, the merger that's needed should be a genuine one. Not a deceitful one like APC of 2014.
Obo shi n ta Nigeria di isinyin from dido APC.
Ki party kankan mawa dowa mo!

You are a corrupt guy!

1nigeriamyfoot:
We are in the same boat

I've said this countless time

This is why I was so happy when Dino loss the election and atiku also failed woefully during 2023 general election

If they allowed GEJ finished second term, atiku will be doing second term now as long as he performed during his first term

The nature of Nigerian Politics make it difficult for one party or ethnic group to rule for a very long time. The PDP couldn't have been ruling for 24 years.

tesppidd:
First step for PDP is to get rid of Wike and anyone playing anti party at this point.

Second step is for Atiku to commit to allowing other members breathe and not contest for the presidency any more. He should rather mentor the party and give financial, moral and any form of backing to the party.

We need Peter Obi on the ballot in 2027 to do the Lord's work again.

ValarDoharis:
Atiku, Saraki, Amaechi, Dino leaving the PDP in 2014 led us to this path. If they were patient, Atiku would be doing his second term. Atiku made a terrible mistake for not supporting GEJ second term.

Way forward now is to remove the criminal drug baron and certificate forger from Aso Rock

The way forward is to build the Labour Party into a formidable national party that can win presidential election.

Tribalists always derail every thread on Nairaland and won't allow ordinary readers to enjoy the thread!

Absuchat:
Yet they banished your sister from practicing a particular religion there..... even with Soyinka's love letters, they didn't overturn the ban.
So much for your supposedly cool people

Religion and ethnicity are NOT the same thing.

ceejay80s:
U people keep complaining and yet u do the wrong thing daily
Apc and pdp have destroyed this country... instead of u to vote for a new party and let's try them, u people keep voting for same thieves, I wish u all what u voted for, u voters are more evil than those u vote for,
Continue buying ur paint of garri for 1,500naira for now, it shall get to 3k for paint soon,
None of u think about ur children and future grand children, na the stupid pen and one sachet on indomie wey Dem go give u before election na him be una problem

All these just because the LP candidate ,who openly admitted on Radio that he beat people up , lost at his polling unit?

Felabrity:
These LP guys are wack

They don't work on themselves locally

Reminds me of GRV who lost his polling unit

But GRV and the Obidients who call him, 'the man who won the Lagos governorship election' continue to claim on social media that he won.

garfield1:
Talk true? Muri is doing well in ibaji and bassa like I predicted while ajaka is trying in ajaokuta and lokoja

i thought Muri and Ajaka are one and the same person?

If you have lived in the North and study the environment well, you will understand that millions of Northerners engage in Agriculture producing tonnes of Onions, Tomatoes, Pepper, Beans, Rice, Millets, Corns, Ginger, Cotton, Groundnuts and they also rear Animals like Cattles, Goats, Sheep's, Camels, Donkeys etc.

All these aren't directly affected by exchange rates or fuel pump and they hold the aces , because they will simply increase their selling prices if things are expensive.

landmark86:
Even for my area now people are now grounding maize with cassava to make Semovita.
Even the so called average family can no longer avoid bag of Semo.
Everyone is now looking for an alternative.
PMB brought Nigerians to this hardship and BAT is also in rush to removed subsidy.
I pray God turn things around for good in this country.
But seriously people are suffering.

Actually, this is an opportunity for Nigeria to develop.

We have the capacity to feed our teeming population and even export to other countries.

We need to invest in commercial production of Cassava, Corn, Potatoes and processing of these foods items into many varieties of food items.
. Substantial parts of these crops will also go into feeds productions for Animal Feeds to meet our protein needs.

Instead of seeing problems, we should see the economic opportunities.
