I don’t have to spell that out, if you read in between the lines you would know.

Read between which lines. This abuse is just too much on the Yoruba peopl. Imagine someone from an inconsequential tribe who is even afraid to mention his said tribe openly calling a people from rich culture like the Yoruba tribalists.

If you are Yoruba with all our achievement in all walks of life, you self go wan identify and be a proud Yoruba tribalist.

Lastly, if someone like Soludo is on the ballot, I can vote him. But we Yoruba will never vote a bigot and chronically divisive character like Obi Pandora especially when Obi can’t even point to one transformational development he brought to Anambra when he was governor.

While I completely agree with your assessment of the APC candidate, I don’t like post like this because there are too many Yoruba people that would rather vote for a piece of wood than vote for the king of thugs.

The sheer amount of propaganda that has been deployed by the man that masterminded the worst federal government in the history of our country is actually incredible.

I almost find it hard to blame the people that have fallen for the tribal baiting and revisionist history. The APC candidate has executed a full on assault on the minds of the Nigerian people.

Still, I’m convinced that most people of all tribes have completely rejected APC and their disgraceful candidate. The only chance they have is their so called structures which is just code for vote-buying, vote-suppression and vote rigging.

But the will of the people is extremely strong this time so I believe we will win. And if we are lucky, APC will be completely humiliated.

These are exciting days. Better times are coming. Vote Obi or literally anyone else but APC ❤️

In a nutshell, the Ibo man isn't even running as a tribal candidate; instead, he's running as a Nigerian candidate, selling himself and his policies, you can say the same of the Yoruba candidate.

During a debate I listened to, one of the APC leaders referred to " They come to night buses into our Lagos." This is no different with what Trump did when he was vying for the Presidency, he was appealing to the innate deep rotted Racist nature in White supremacist.

My ire even extends to one of my mentors, who I hold in the highest regard, who had backed the Other Yoruba candidate during the Primaries and claimed that the current Yoruba candidate was unfit for the job due to his advanced age and lack of credibility. He is now playing the tribal card everywhere, claiming he’s the greatest leader ever. Supporting your brother is perfectly acceptable, but don't try to mask it with integrity and competence when the evidence clearly shows otherwise.

I've merely spoken my views. This is a rallying cry to combat tribalism rather than abuse. Tribalism is no different from racism and xenophobia. Moreover, I won't be voting for any candidate. Just my frank assessment. This is how I perceive the Yoruba people, however I could be wrong. Point any lies if you can.

P.S. I'm not running a campaign for anyone; this has nothing to do with the Ibo candidate. I'm just a free thinker expressing my opinions.

I don’t have time to point you to any line. Anything you call the Yoruba is what we are. No one get time to waste defending anything to just anybody.

You’re free thinker and not campaigning for anyone yet called Yoruba tribalists just because majority of Yoruba chose to vote Tinubu. Can you see how delusional you sound.

I’m 2011 and 2015, Ijaws voted enmasse for Jonathan. Can we now because of that call Ijaw people tribalists?

The blatantly disingenuous manner in which it is carried out, concealing behind integrity and expertise, closing the eyes to the obvious flaws.

Like the former president of Zimbabwe's wife said, “even if the president uses a wheelchair, people will still elect him”

As long as it's their tribesmen contesting, they'll lie about their expertise and integrity to get away with it. You guys need to be straightforward and honest.

The Ijaws weren't being hypocritical about it.

Nowadays, it should be the best candidate for the position, not The Yoruba vs Everyone. ‘The Yoruba ronu’ slurs, making it appear to be the tribal power play that it is.

If the Yoruba candidate is elected, fundamental tribalists like you might even imitate the Apartheid rule in Yoruba states. Some of you all have Apartheid mentalities.

I've never heard the phrases "Our Rivers," "Our Anambra," or "Our Delta." Aside from "Our Lagos," tribal epithets! You guys are not even concealing it!

Because of comments like “Our Lagos” that’s why “Immigrants” like you all call them fights back with the word “Lagos is a no man’s land”

Tribalism is as bad, if not worse than Racism and xenophobia.

Ofodirinwa:
You have to have serious hatred for your fellow human being to want Tinubu to be president at this age, especially since the backbone of his political empire is theft and nobody living, including Tinubu, has denied this.

Making the issue ethnocentric is an insult to Yoruba ppl only. If Tinubu is your brother you are insulting yourself. So fulani brings Atiku, Hausa brings Kwankwaso, Igbo brings Obi, and you bring the one that is urinating on himself. Meaning that you believe this is who and what represents your people.

If it does not represent your people, dont make it an ethnic election. If that is your champion and representative as an ethnic group then you have a lower opinion of yourself than most outsiders have of you.

Orji Kalu has tried to run for elections. If you go to my village and tell them Orji Kalu represents Igbos they will insult you back. This is why he gets nowhere. Rochas, Hope, etc. But 'our brother pur brother' has created the monster that is Tinubu and APC.

But they keep winning election in the SE, a bi na spirit dey vote them to power ni, is it not same same nyamiri.

Your hypocrisy na follow come

@ Op. You are wrong. A dummy won't do well in Lagos. There's money in Rivers and Akwa Ibom. But Lagos growth has a pattern and thought to it.
Politics aside, I watched the governorship debate of Lagos state and as much as I appreciate all participants on the podium, I'm super impressed with issues being discussed. APC has raised the bar in Lagos state. As compared to Anambra debate, Osun debate...
I don't know why you are always trying to take away from BATs success and praise Fashola and AA, who (@ least Fashola) gave the credit to BAT.
You can't wish away IGR growth, Judicial reforms, LAWMA,LASTMA, BRT, laghoms, Rail, Atlantic City, Seaport, LFTZ, Ikoyi Bridge, LCC.... they were not met in Lagos. They were created. And many stated have copied them.
I think Lagos is still a work in progress but it will be intellectual dishonesty for you to say Lagos is on auto pilot.

.

When one is hates you, there's nothing you can do to impress him. Just imagine the kind of insult and abuse being heaped on Tinubu for exercising his fundamental right to contest,

I don't think it is normal to nurse this type of hate against human being, even Adolf Hitler was not hated like the way Igbo hate Tinubu

Tenses:
When I join nairaland newly I used to admire freestuffsng aka seunmsg for his intellectual prowess and discourse but this election has shown that education cannot cure tribalism and bigotry.

Seunmsg is not the same person as freestuffsng. And, what exactly is wrong with supporting a candidate with a very solid public service record? Why should we be forced into voting for a candidate that failed woefully as governor, has no original idea on how to solve anything and is clearly a religious bigot? Make it make sense, please.

Vado2:
With this general election, I must admit that a lot has changed in terms of my viewpoint. Even among those who are educated, tribalism and hypocrisy are Nigeria's biggest problems.

I had a preconceived impression about the Ibos before the election that they were the most tribally inclined people on earth, but I was completely wrong. Although they may occasionally fight with other tribes, they are not a bunch of hypocrites.

There is no group of people more tribalistic than the Yorubas. Simply because a candidate is your brother doesn't make it wrong to vote for him. Jonathan had a similar treatment from the South South. But concealing it behind the pretense that he built Lagos, I guess that stinks. Lagos already existed before The Yoruba Candidate entered politics. They "Say omo-Ibo" go back to Anambra when you attempt to engage them in intellectual conversations. Individuals work hard to make money; nobody is paid by the state, and neither are we given free rides or water. Just ask the Yoruba candidate's supporters what he did while he was a governor, and they'll start discussing initiatives that other governors have undertaken. And guess what he did not get along with these governors, like BRF and AA for instance, he even fought against their reelection.

He suddenly made a route for them. Why does his supporters give him credit to the governors of Lagos State but not to the governors he puts on other Yoruba states who perform appallingly?? such as the former governor of Osun and the current governor of Ogun State?

A dummy would do well as Lagos Governor. Lagos already had one of the biggest economy in Africa before 1998

They began playing the tribal card "Our Lagos" as soon as it was clear that people could see through their lies. the same Lagos that was built by Niger-Delta Oil. Even the elites exhibit hypocrisy when they start uttering "Yoruba ronu" and "Omo-ale." Imagine for a second that the Yoruba candidate came from a different tribe; the world wouldn't have heard enough.

Brilliant thinkers, like Wole Soyinka, would have spoken up and even funded protests to stymie the candidacy, but since he is their son, everyone has been silent.

What about the religious leaders?

In the church, some of them had already established a political department, but everything changed when their favorite candidate lost the primary. The Church has now adopted a neutral stance after initially showing signs of active participation. Currently, they are idly perched and using parables to communicate.

The Yorubas are the only tribe I've observed that is overtly tribalistic. That is complete.

Their leaders are doing this by appealing to their ingrained tribalism. Nobody can conceal it. Although not all Yorubas are like way, this is my honest assessment of them. This is not meant as a slight against the decent, at peace, and wise Yoruba people. Nigeria is for everyone, and this is merely a belligerent cry to look above ingrained tribalism.

Xry cry

@OP You're not as intelligent as you think..

Yorubas stood firmly behind GEJ when the Northern Aso rock cabals wanted to sideline him after Yar'adua died.. what did the ingrate do? He marginalized Yorubas of all tribes, one of the top two largest ethnic groups in Nigeria. Yoruba elders met him to express their grievances but he ignored them, Yorubas waited patiently for the next election to boot him out with PVCs not with violence or civil disobedience.

This is 2023, you expect Yorubas to support Obi that achieved nothing in Anambra. His first tenure had no infrastructural development whatsoever, the longest strike in the World's history was under Obi, massive sacking of non-Anambra indigenes from Anambra civil service, Akwuzu killings and more.. You think Yorubas are as daft as you are?
You just picked someone with many questions and allegations hanging on his head to support because he is your tribesman, yet you have the guts to come and type nonsense about others.

Your bigotry just jumped right out. What I noticed about these guys is that anyone that has a differing opinion would be termed ‘Ibo’. This isn’t just online, but also offline. SMH

compare Anambra under peter obi with Lagos under Tinubu

U are just an unrepentant tribalist. Afenifere Chairman, Fasoranti, Gani Adam, Alaroye media press and many others that openly pulling Tinubu down just because of Obi are from which tribe? Yoruba that u didn't have regards for consistute more that one third of Obi supporters especially among the youth.

Your assertive on Tinubu is very wrong. Either u are in Kilimanjaro when Tinubu was the Governor or you are too young then to understand. Tinubu lay down a working foundation and build on it by subsequent governors that's what makes him to be different . Many states have copied his memo even some country came to study how Lagos worked. Ask yourself if any dummy can governed and make it works why a state like Anambra the second smallest state high industrial n human potential with high level of literacy and monthly allocation is not working. Or state like Bayelsa with lowest human population and one of the highest receivers of monthly allocation in billions still finding it extremely difficult to pay salary. Worst of it the Delta State that blessed with every things with very huge amount of money Fg is pumping there still borrowing money while her counterpart in River State using the same for visible projects.

Vado2:
I never said that they are amicable. In my perspective, the Ibos are inherently self-centered and selfish. They are not hypocrites; they can only put their best foot forward for profit. The Ibo candidate is not being marketed as a tribal candidate like the Yoruba candidate is. Talk about the Edo people if you want to discuss a detrabalized tribe. Only in Yoruba area will a trader become enraged with you because you are speaking pidgin; she doesn't care if you aren't speaking Yoruba as long as she can lose that transaction. This is a unique personal experience. Only in Yoruba territory do people refer to you as "Omo Ibo," even if you are not Ibo.

OBJ is a detribalized leader, that’s the reason a large number of Yorubas don’t like him. Just the way the North likes their leaders hardcore Muslims, the Yorubas like their leaders hardcore tribalist.

Well , I am yoruba, and proudly one. Your observations are right and your opinion too. That you are called ọmọ ibo may not actually mean being If yorubas are tribalistic. Among ourselves, we still call ourselves names.
If you limit yourself to Lagos where most of you live or visit, you know so little about yoruba. Oyo will call Ekiti names, Ekiti Will dó same to Ondo. Come and think of it even in churches, you see ministries like MEM, RCCG, WINNERS, DEEPER LIFE, CAC rtc, cutting across with no tribal leanings. You are qualified for any position, you are given.

I still maintain that yoruba has a liberal heart more than any tribe in Nigeria. This I have seen by the nature of my job.
No one would allow you to be cheated for being a none indigene. Are there not people today in Yorubaland, other tribes enjoying same rights like indigenes?

If there are traces of tribalism now others taught us.
There are likes or Profs. Kenneth Dike, Tamuna, Vice Chancellors of University of Ibadan and many others. Same obtainable in any Igboland? I don't know.
An army official of yoruba extraction who believed in Biafra and risked his career and life was gruesomely killed by Ojukwu himself. His sin? Believe in a cause across his tribal divide!

Awolowo for three day persuading Zik for inclusion of session clause, he changed his mind overnight and followed Hausa - Fulani. Today, Igbos read and tell wrong history and call Yorubas traitors. Yorubas still believe Igboman cannot be trusted.
My brother if you are in Yorubaland feel free and live your dream. If you are not come over and fulfill your dreams.

Even me, as modest as I want to be will still not condone anybody calling Lagos or any part of Yorubaland as no man's land. To such, no Yoruba man will take kindly. This vulgar talk instigate 'Area boys' backed by offended decent minds to resist atimes.

To most Yorubas OBJ is not a leader. He can have Nigeria' s acceptably, he does not have our own. He doesn't share our philosophy. He betrayed General Olufemi, for asking him not to be cringing for Hausa - Fulani. The man was dismissed from the army.
Our likes are Black Scorpion, Idiagbon, Gani Fawehinmi, Fela Anikulapo Kuti, F'ẹmi Fálànà, Sunday Igboho, Gani Adams, Wole Soyinka, Banji Akintoye, Ayo Adebanjo,(now campaigning at his great age, for Igbó presidency, while Igbos are killing themselves) etc. None of these people accept OBJ' s philosophy. He is good to be a chaotic Nigeria leader not yoruba of Awolowo' s legacy or our dreams. He destroyed our structure. We don't like him for that.


If you call latter tribalism, well let be.
Cheers!

I think Lagos is still a work in progress but it will be intellectual dishonesty for you to say Lagos is on auto pilot.

A dunce, as I have stated, would make a good governor of Lagos State. The current minister of works was anticipated for the position because of his excellent performance as Lagos State Governor. What innovative feat did he accomplish while serving as works minister? Nothing at all.

Some topics are off limits to us. What actions have these governments taken to address the 16-year flooding problem? Because of the significant IGR it produces?

How come the person who makes man can't pick the best people to duplicate the supposedly tremendous growth that takes place in Lagos in other SW states.

Until 1999, Lagos was always a state that other states admired. Why does he only accept compliments when other of his chosen officials' appalling performance is ignored? And as I previously mentioned, he vehemently opposed the reelection of BRF and AA because of his disagreement with them. How can you then claim someone else's project and initiative when you didn't support their methodology at the time?

Was it not one of your fellow tribesmen who opposed the HOR position being awarded to a person of Yoruba ancestry? to depict the Yoruba as being underrepresented.

As I already stated, I'm not campaigning for the Ibo candidate but the Yoruba candidates' antecedents demonstrate that they lack the ability to lead. He has a flawed sense of judgment if we can all agree that the current administration is bad and he was a key figure in bringing it into power. How can we then put our faith in someone to lead us to greatness if they have a flawed sense of judgment? And also with his glaring I’ll-health as well. Like I said, People would prefer to vote for a wheelchair user since he's their tribesman, but don’t hide it behind competence.

For a minute, let’s pretend the Yoruba candidate is all competent.

For more than a decade, Cristiano Ronaldo averaged more than 40 goals per season. However, the player has changed since then. Therefore, given his track record, as a coach, would you include him on your team?

Many would argue that football is different from this one. What a difference! Every role requires as much physical and mental effort as contact sports. Policies and electing the appropriate candidates to government are insufficient to resolve issues. Actualization is required, and this cannot be carried out without guidance and ‘close marking’ . Because he was constantly on and off, President Buhari had some of the best initiatives, but they saw zero actualization.

Your so-called best hands carry out their preferred activities when you are not there on the ground. Even Jesus Christ, in his perspective, used the best laborers, and as soon as they left his presence, they were free to carry on as before. Judas Iscariot and Peter serve as examples of this.

Although a significant portion of Yorubas are tribalists, despite their best efforts to hide it, we do have well-educated Yorubas who are not tribalists. Like I said earlier, let's imagine the Yoruba candidate was from a different tribe, with his glaring illness, dubious character, lack of sound judgment, and skill.

Was there ever a time the Yoruba candidate challenged the existing administration? Yet, all of a sudden, he feels as though he is not in his principal's good graces, which is why he receives the relentless onslaught.

It's amusing. Learn about Lagos in what way. What notable initiatives has the government undertaken using the comparatively high IGR? With all the extra resources available to it. Has the government taken any action to address the terrible traffic situation? What about the flooding issue? What about the roads? as well as the "Owomida problem" Stop bringing up the Red line and Blue rail in conversation with me. Lagos should be compared to renowned cities like Dubai based on the amount of revenue it generates each month. No state even comes close to Lagos' level of wealth.

What is the IGR's immediate effect on the average person? Everything is packaged. Eko is merely a show.


Lagos is home to one of the biggest slums on earth. A Makoko... What can someone possibly learn?

Tribalism is as bad, if not worse than Racism and xenophobia.

You must look yourself in the mirror with this revisionism you're trying to do here, first you denegrate the APC candidate as being a tribal candidate, what makes him a tribal candidate and makes Peter Obi a Nigerian candidate, all of you have used mischief and propaganda all through this election cycle and we all see through it, it is the audacity to pretend others are not playing tribal politics and you label another tribe of playing tribal politics, since when has yoruba and Edo vote align in the history of this country ? If you claim to be the righteousness you are, why don't you start from your state, your state has best witnessed improvements during the tenure of Oshiomole aligned with APC, but what did you guys vote in your last elections, you claimed Edo no be Lagos , well the result is clear in your face now, you guys have always aligned yourself with south eastern/south south politics regardless of whatever gains you get and now you come out here like on righteous person trying to call yoruba tribalists for supporting Tinubu?

Despite all the stones and insults you have used against him during this election cycle , you guys have refused to discuss merits, who has impacted the people most positively amongst all the candidates during their stewardship?, Who has built a plan that is still till today the most effective interms of development to their people, interms of work and action as a leader during their tenure whose work will you vouch for sincerely ?, when we ask this all you resort is Lagos this , Lagos that, and all other deflections.

Pls spare us all this gibberish now, let the best man win, if Peter Obi wins, he would be my president and we will allow him do his thing, if he loses all fair as well, besides if you are looking for a Nigerian candidate in this election, Atiku better represents that than whom you are referring to

You are just capping. Tommorow is here

For 7 of Buhari's 8 year tenure, most south easterners called this country a zoo, were you alive when Nnamdi Kanu was insulting everything yoruba including pastors, threatening them not to enter their region ?, Peter Obi your Nigerian candidate followed Nnamdi Kanu several times to court as an ally In solidarity despite all the evil words that came out of his mouth, did you come here online to condemn him, now you want to insult our intelligence by referring to that same person as a Nigerian candidate and have the audacity to call Tinubu a tribal candidate ?,

The mental gymnastics people like you play is so baffling, this is so silly if you to attempt , let the best man win,band whoever wins will be our president simple.

The Edo people have always outlines with what they seem is proper. Because we believed the previous administration was horrible, Edo State was the only SS state to vote for Buhari with 45% of the vote in 2015. The Edo man is a free thinker. Oshiobaba performed admirably in his role as governor of the state of Edo, but this does not warrant hero worship on our part. After all, he was chosen to do the job.

You may think that AA is a wonderful leader, but he lacks the qualities of great leadership, such as integrity, character, and independence of thought. In contrast to the Yoruba candidate, the Ibo candidate does not present himself as a tribal candidate.

Kayyy:
You must look yourself in the mirror with this revisionism you're trying to do here, first you denegrate the APC candidate as being a tribal candidate, what makes him a tribal candidate and makes Peter Obi a Nigerian candidate, all of you have used mischief and propaganda all through this election cycle and we all see through it, it is the audacity to pretend others are not playing tribal politics and you label another tribe of playing tribal politics, since when has yoruba and Edo vote align in the history of this country ? If you claim to be the righteousness you are, why don't you start from your state, your state has best witnessed improvements during the tenure of Oshiomole aligned with APC, but what did you guys vote in your last elections, you claimed Edo no be Lagos , well the result is clear in your face now, you guys have always aligned yourself with south eastern/south south politics regardless of whatever gains you get and now you come out here like on righteous person trying to call yoruba tribalists for supporting Tinubu?

Despite all the stones and insults you have used against him during this election cycle , you guys have refused to discuss merits, who has impacted the people most positively amongst all the candidates during their stewardship?, Who has built a plan that is still till today the most effective interms of development to their people, interms of work and action as a leader during their tenure whose work will you vouch for sincerely ?, when we ask this all you resort is Lagos this , Lagos that, and all other deflections.

Pls spare us all this gibberish now, let the best man win, if Peter Obi wins, he would be my president and we will allow him do his thing, if he loses all fair as well, besides if you are looking for a Nigerian candidate in this election, Atiku better represents that than whom you are referring to

The Edo people have always outlines with what they seem is proper. Because we believed the previous administration was horrible, Edo State was the only SS state to vote for Buhari with 45% of the vote in 2015. The Edo man is a free thinker. Oshiobaba performed admirably in his role as governor of the state of Edo, but this does not warrant hero worship on our part. After all, he was chosen to do the job.

Like I said earlier, I’m not campaigning for any of the candidates. I’m just pointing out my observation.

Interesting thread.

Kayyy:
For 7 of Buhari's 8 year tenure, most south easterners called this country a zoo, were you alive when Nnamdi Kanu was insulting everything yoruba including pastors, threatening them not to enter their region ?, Peter Obi your Nigerian candidate followed Nnamdi Kanu several times to court as an ally In solidarity despite all the evil words that came out of his mouth, did you come here online to condemn him, now you want to insult our intelligence by referring to that same person as a Nigerian candidate and have the audacity to call Tinubu a tribal candidate ?,

The mental gymnastics people like you play is so baffling, this is so silly if you to attempt , let the best man win,band whoever wins will be our president simple.

That's right; the perceived marginalization of the Ibo and the inciting remarks made against them by some renowned officials in this country were the only factors contributing to the Ibo's growing hatred of other tribes. Yet others still do; once a famous artist insulted an entire ethnic group.

Any tribe will act similarly, as did the Yorubas when they perceived injustice being meted out to a great Yoruba leader in the person of MKO of blessed memory.

I still like a lot if yorubas, but there are a few that shocked me to my bone marrows, God, no matter how this election turns out, I will continue to be afraid about the shock some of my enlightened yoruba friends and what they did in this election.

God help Nigeria.

A dunce, as I have stated, would make a good governor of Lagos State. The current minister of works was anticipated for the position because of his excellent performance as Lagos State Governor. What innovative feat did he accomplish while serving as works minister? Nothing at all.

Some topics are off limits to us. What actions have these governments taken to address the 16-year flooding problem? Because of the significant IGR it produces?

How come the person who makes man can't pick the best people to duplicate the supposedly tremendous growth that takes place in Lagos in other SW states.

Until 1999, Lagos was always a state that other states admired. Why does he only accept compliments when other of his chosen officials' appalling performance is ignored? And as I previously mentioned, he vehemently opposed the reelection of BRF and AA because of his disagreement with them. How can you then claim someone else's project and initiative when you didn't support their methodology at the time?

A dunce cannot make a good governor of Lagos e.g. Oyinlola as military governor was almost a complete failure

It’s a stupid propaganda

Vado2:
Although a significant portion of Yorubas is tribalists, despite their best efforts to hide it, we do have well-educated Yorubas who are not tribalists. As I said earlier, let's imagine the Yoruba candidate was from a different tribe, with his glaring illness, dubious character, lack of sound judgment, and skill.

Was there ever a time the Yoruba candidate challenged the existing administration? Yet, all of a sudden, he feels as though he is not in his principal's good graces, which is why he receives the relentless onslaught.

It's amusing. Learn about Lagos in what way. What notable initiatives has the government undertaken using the comparatively high IGR? With all the extra resources available to it. Has the government taken any action to address the terrible traffic situation? What about the flooding issue? What about the roads? as well as the "Owomida problem" Stop bringing up the Red line and Blue rail in conversation with me. Lagos should be compared to renowned cities like Dubai based on the amount of revenue it generates each month. No state even comes close to Lagos' level of wealth.

What is the IGR's immediate effect on the average person? Everything is packaged. Eko is merely a show.


Lagos is home to one of the biggest slums on earth. A Makoko... What can someone possibly learn?

No matter how you hide your hatred envy will always push it out.

An Edoman is claiming the Yoruba are tribalists but the Igbo are detribalist.

What makes you an Edo man?
How did you arrive at that conclusion?

It is not today that Igbo will claim another region just to pass a narrative, and it became prevalent when Nnamdi Kanu instructed IPOB members to open so many accounts in other to spread his gospel of hatred and insult.

Today we are used to your shenanigans regarding disregard for other tribes. Since there's never been any reason for a Yoruba man to begin to paint Edoman black, using Edo as a cover for your inherited hatred is dead on arrival.

Looking at the 3 candidates even an opposition will admit that Tinubu stands tall as he is the only one that used his position as Governor to unite the country, he employ none indigene in the state Civil Service and allowed them to do their business in a conducive atmosphere and gave them leverage to contest and win an elective position in Lagos state.

Lagos state has become home to all Nigerians as well as other SW states where your people trooped to in drove without fear of BH or UGM.

If all these are seen and you still conclude in your warped brain that Yoruba are tribalists, then the only reason for your jaundiced opinion is bigotry, hatred, and envy.

You conveniently ignore the heap of insults Igbo rain on Yoruba and Tinubu, you are less bothered when they call Lagos no man land, you ignore Ohanese's instruction that Igbo should not vote a Yoruba man, your overlook MNK's instruction to destroy Lagos and his command to boycott Yoruba churches.

Has any Yoruba man instructed his people not to patronize the Igbo business in SW?
Has Yoruba refused to rent houses or sell land to Igbo and other ethnic group?
Have they destroyed your market or pursued you out of SW?

Look, elections will come and go, but the strain your type has left behind will henceforth haunt you.

Tomorrow, if Yoruba started paying you back in your coin just remember that you are the reason for their change of attitude.

Enough said, voting for a candidate of your interest doesn't amount to tribalism

Vado2:
I never said that they are amicable. In my perspective, the Ibos are inherently self-centered and selfish. They are not hypocrites; they can only put their best foot forward for profit. The Ibo candidate is not being marketed as a tribal candidate like the Yoruba candidate is. Talk about the Edo people if you want to discuss a detrabalized tribe. Only in Yoruba area will a trader become enraged with you because you are speaking pidgin; she doesn't care if you aren't speaking Yoruba as long as she can lose that transaction. This is a unique personal experience. Only in Yoruba territory do people refer to you as "Omo Ibo," even if you are not Ibo.

OBJ is a detribalized leader, that’s the reason a large number of Yorubas don’t like him. Just the way the North likes their leaders hardcore Muslims, the Yorubas like their leaders hardcore tribalist.

You people have problem with everything....

As the military governor of Lagos, Oyinola fared remarkably well. When General Sani Abacha's dictatorship was facing the greatest level of opposition from the populace following the annulment of the election, he worked hard as the military administrator of Lagos State to restore peace to the state. Oyinlola constructed a number of public schools, general hospitals, and housing estate in Lagos State. One of the legacies he left behind was the Opebi link bridge and road, along with Lagos House Governor's Lodge in Abuja.

As a means of preventing armed robberies, he also announced the security organization "Operation Sweep." While Oyinola was in power, it was a dangerous moment to be a leader, but he tackled it head-on.

It is very obvious that you're a bigot and a yoruba hating fellow, your hatred shows through you very well, you have explained away 7years of hatred, bile toxicity from most people on the east led by a popular Nnamdi Kanu, it wasnt just hatred and bigotry, but it led to violence and insecurity as well, many nigerian policemen have been killed and numerous police station have been burnt in the south east with most south easterners rejoicing to this news, where were you during Nnamdi Kanu's sit at a home and the people here celebrating it and mocking the governors and president orders against it, you excused and deflected all that away but was able to remember Brymo, and you now come here and refer to a candidate that supported such man nnamdi Kanu and even accosted him to court as s Nigerian candidate and called Tinubu a Yoruba candidate ?,;if you have lived in this country all through this period and this bile is what you have in your mind and pouring out then you yourself is hatred personified and a tribal bigot to the Yoruba people.

There is more to this than just names. Because you aren't communicating in Yoruba, a merchant can get infuriated and even loose a sale. I saw this firsthand in Ibadan. Why would a well-known APC leader declare, "They come to our Lagos in night buses"

Also, sone Yoruba people were even supporting him. There are certain Yoruba people that exhibit apartheidic tendencies. These individuals appeal to them because of this, much like Hitler did with the Germans and Trump did with white supremacists. In Nigeria, no tribe acts in that manner. These people are not trying to hide their bigotry.
