What's even more funny is that Seyi Tinubu is married to an Igbo woman, same way Gbadebo's father married an Igbo woman.

But according you and other undistinguished urchins, Seyi Tinubu's children are all BASTARDS 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Goodmarlian:
This boy is smart omo-oluabi gidi you cannot marginalize lagosians in lagos.

dubra:
Our incoming governor of Lagos

seeyounow:
seun osewa is misinforming the public... ooni of ife is not the custodian of Yoruba culture. yoruba say omode gbo, agba gbo, ni afi da ile ife... it mean ile ife is only a young breed, there is someone old than ile ife. the yoruba are not from ile ife

ile ife is not the ascentral home of the yoruba people.. ooni of ile ife is only misleading people, adeyeye ogunwusi is just running fraud

jahsharon:
I think he has mental problems. He is contesting in Lagos, but he went to meet the king of Osun who brought together all Yoruba Obas to support Tinubu. I think this stupid boy is on drugs

chosengocap:
This is a Yoruba guy....His mother/father is Yoruba. His name is Anthony Chinasa Abiola. he is contesting for House of Assembly in Umuahia Abia state. Fully Obidient.

I have not heard any body in Umuahia asking him to go back to his fathers state or that he is not Igbo enough to contest. Instead, people are excited about his courage and personality.

flokii:
The things this guy will do in Lagos if mistakenly he wins..

1. He'll channel Lagos state treasury into the hands if Ipobs. All he needs to do is appoint Igbo man to head State treasury in Lagos and bo0m, we won't see any record of money in or out again.

2. He will retire MC Oluomo and start his own park touts/agbero empire (with Igbos) in Lagos.. park touts plenty for East more than any other region. That is the only work they do there.

3. He will appoint Igbos to head markets across Lagos and scrap Iyaloja title.. one of Yoruba culture gone like that.

4. He will sack Oba of Lagos and elevate one Eze ndigbo to be the ruler in Lagos.

5. He will retrench Yorubas from Lagos state civil service and recruit Igbos especially Anambra people to fill all the vacancies. It's obvious from his choice of words e.g. afonja to describe Yorubas. So if you are a Yoruba working with LASG and you join them to vote LP over your current employer, know you will soon become jobless and hopeless.
Our people say ise l'ogun ise.. when you lose your job, your eyes will clear. The devil you know is better than the angel you just met promising you heaven and earth.

The list is endless.

Yoruba e ronu.. make e no be say una wan dey unfortunate.

FreeStuffsNG:
I hope Mr Chinedu Rhodes-Vivor showed Ooniriisa his Yorubaphobia bigoted tweets and spoke his tatata alumolu Yoruba to Oonirisa.

He is contesting for Osun state Governor now. Idobale, especially fake one like this one by Chinedu, o kin şe iwa o..

The Labour Party flag bearer for the governorship election in Lagos State shared this on his twitter feed to his over 168,000 followers:

Logos doesn't need this type of divisive chameleon who is only saying what people want to hear to attract votes

HighTableVoice:
Sentimental attitude aside.. I sincerely like this guy even not having met him before. I just wish he can and will be able to shake off this whol tribal weight attached to him away.

From what tribal bigots on Nairaland are saying, I see why this intelligent, young man abused their types which was now taken out of context to campaign against him.

I hope Tinubu will pay all these urchins millions for their social media campaigns, if not, they will still soak garri for the next 4 years at least.

GRV is detribalized, young, intelligent, bold and has all it takes to rule the commercial capital of Nigeria.

All Niger Deltans are FULLY behind him....

darkknight2010:
He is currently on the Board of Al Huda Nigeria Limited and Delta International Commercial City Asaba (DICCA) in Delta State.
A company owned by his father Olawale Rhodesvivour. His father is not the former Supreme Justice Bode Rhodesvivour.

Now, few questions:
1. Has the LP Lagos Guber Candidate resigned from the posts held in these private business concerns?
2. If Yes, can he publish officially his resignation letters and Board Resolutions reflecting the same?
3. If Yes also, why is he leaving such an important project that can exponentially transform Asaba, Delta State to run for Governor in Lagos State at this opportune moment?
4. If No, how does he intend to manage his public office portfolio as Executive Governor of a state like Lagos and private portfolio as an Executive Director in a private construction company faraway in Asaba, Delta State without breaching ethics of corporate governance?
5. On the Delta Commercial City Project in Asaba, what is the current status of this project considering that it was launched since 2016?
6. Can the LP Lagos Guber Candidate maximize this to showcase his track-record and performance in result-orientation, consistency, public service delivery and project completion drive?
7. Simply put, is it an ongoing or abandoned project? Any evidence or proof of performance/ success? If he can not transform Asaba, how can he transform Lagos?
8. Where has the finance for the project been coming from or will come from in future? Any audited reports to prove accountability and sound managerial ethics?
9. Why did he not foremost prioritize and consider designing and implementing this kind of project for the benefit of Lagos and Lagosians considering the drive to turn Lagos into a megacity?
10. Has the LP Guber Lagos Candidate done a verifiable Assets/ Net Worth Declaration?

These are real issues about character that the Lagos LP Guber ought to be engaged upon to duly address and clarify.

Let's hope the unnecessary and toxic dust of tribalism and ethno-centricism can settle for this to occur in the appropriate quarters and channels.

The hope and destinies of Lagos and true Lagosians hang in the balance.

Meanwhile,what experience does this dude have?
What he know how to do best is to spend all days on twitter tweeting rubbish 24/hrs .

Mitsurugi:
According to FreeStuffsNG and his idiotic crew GRV is not Yoruba.

Eriokanmi:
impossible! How can he marginalise his home from his home? Only tinubu does that. We promised delivering lagos for LP and we fulfilled it. Saturday again, we will do same in Alimosho.

Yoruba Ronu.

YORUBA TAKE CHARGE NOW!!!!

BECAREFUL OF THE IGBO JIHADIST. THAT IS THEIR WAY ALL OVER THE WORLD.

When a former Editor-in-Chief of The Guardian newspaper penned reasons as to why there must be a limit to Igbo’s participation in the politics of Lagos, his friend and former classmate of Igbo background thought the submission betrayed his exposure, experience and education.” CROSSFIRE, reproduces the requirements as canvassed by Femi Kusa and Pat Utomi.

I am a yoruba and I condemn all forms of electoral malpractice, including ballot box snatching on election day. The Yorubas are an intelligent people with their own fair share of rascals.There are many intelligent and creative ways open to the yorubas to deal with the Igbo question in Lagos or elsewhere.

Chief Obafemi Awolowo dealt with it when Dr Nnamdi Azikwe abused the generousity of the Yorubas and attempted to take over their land as the Dutchmen took over Southern Africa. The Yorubas also dealt with this question intelligently when Biafran soldiers tried to invade the West from Ore, after overrunning Bendel State with the aid of Igbo connections there. At different fora where the Igbo question in Lagos comes up, I always invite the Igbos to remember that the Yorubas have always been their best friends in Nigeria.

The Yoruba leader of the 1950s, HERBERT MACAULAY, founded the NCNC (National Council for Nigerians and the Cameroons). When Macaulay died following an illness during his nationwide campaign for independence, wasn’t it the Yoruba NCNC leadership which invited Dr Nnamdi Azikwe and Igbo, to return home from Ghana and lead their party? And when he held their hand in the soup pot, to bar them from having the meal they prepared, didn’t they peacefully and intelligently show him the way back to the East?

Yorubas were generous and trustful. Dr Azikwe insulted their sensibility, abused their generosity and trust. Why would he, an Igbo, wish to be premier of the West and then install an Igbo, as premier of the East when the Yorubas at that time had more literate people than the Igbos? That was cunning, greed and betrayal of trust to say the least.We were all fighting to send the white man away and, after we had succeeded, you wished to impose local Igbo colonialism on a better educated Yoruba race. Who would have accepted that?

Secondly, I remind my Igbo friends that, after the civil war ,their properties in the North, Port Harcourt, Cross River and Akwa Ibom States, their present political allies, were seized from them as “abandoned” property and handed out to the aborigines.But in the West, Igbo property were all returned with all the rent which accrued to them. Were the Yorubas stupid or merely civilised, honest and friendly or, if you like, God fearing?

OKOTA BALLOT BOX

As I said in the first part, the snatching of ballot boxes after all the warnings by government was unecessary, crude, condemnable and punishable. If the yorubas condemn it elsewhere, they should condemn it also in Okota.

But after the condemnation and necessary punishment under the law, it will not be right for all of us to not get to the bottom of why it happened and the bigger problems which are brewing beneath. The major problem ,in my opinion, is the Igbo penchant to wish to take over another person’s land. I say this with all sense of responsibility.

Recently MOFE OYATOGUN of STAR 101.5FM radio station in Lagos played her EARLY RUSH SHOW, a 1952 audio clip of an interview with Ahmadu Bello, Governor of Northern Nigeria. He said unequivocally that the North would not employ Igbos in its civil service, because if you gave them an inch, you will not know when they would take a mile.That was way back in 1952, about 67 years ago.

Is this not what is still playing out today in South Africa, Benin Republic, Cote d’ivoire, Ghana, Libya and China, to mention a few countries? In the last presidential election, President Mohammadu Buhari probably won landslide victories in Northern states because that Ahmadu Bello radio interview clip went viral in that political landscaper. Peter Obi, an Igbo, was vice presidential running mate to Alhaji Abubakar Atiku, a Fulani from the North-East. It was possible the North still lived in fear of the Igbo man as Ahmadu Bello had taught them to do and as they were reminded in that audio clip replay.

In Yorubaland, we are a society governed by laws. That is why we have ministries of chieftaincy affairs. All the land in Lagos have owners. Lagos was either a colony or a part of Western Nigeria. But because of the generousity of Yorubas and the foresight of their forefathers which made this region the star region in West Africa, the Igbos would like the Yorubaman to believe that LAGOS IS NO MAN’S LAND.

Can anyone say that of Benin without eating his pounded yam as raw yam? Can the Igbos say that of Kano and Jos? The people there know how to make themselves husbands of the mothers of the territorial expansionist. Everywhere on earth, we have seen that territorial expansion ends in chaos.In recent history, we can pin the two world wars to it. What about the war in Liberia between the aborigines and the settled slaves? What about Rwanda? What about Hitler’s war on the Jews? What about the liberation wars in South Africa, Zimbabwe and Mozambique

Why did general Idi Amin of Uganda chase away the Asians? Why did Bangladesh separate from India, Eritrea from Ethiopia and Senegal from SeneGambia? What about the communual clashes over land in Nigeria? Recently, almost 100 Fulanis were killed in Kaduna.We cannot forget the Zango-Kataf problem.

So, we should be careful when you come to settle on my land and say you must represent me in the Nigerian Senate or the House of Representatives, or the Lagos State House of Assembly, taking away from me my aboriginal right to have my kith, kindred and blood represent me, while back home you are being represented in the senate and House of Reps, when you insist on becoming a commisioner in my state or a deputy governor, or a local government chairman when you try to govern me in my own land as Dr Nnamdi Azikwe once tried to do, all because I was generous to let you become in my land what you couldn’t become in your land, simply because you believe you have the numbers, I will tell you that is greed and unnatural irrespective of the backing of the law you may think you have.

Think, for example, about an Igbo becoming the chairman of Lagos island local government and arrogating to himself the right under the laws of Nigeria and of Lagos State to issue instructions to the Oba of Lagos about how the kabiyesi should conduct himself and govern his people. What will this breed?

That is what has been happening in countries from where the Igbos are being sent back home.It happened once in the North as Ahmadu Bello said in 1952. And seriously speaking, I believe this is why the North rejected Atiku Abubakar.

The Igbos should reflect on this…Why does everyone tend to (hate ) us?

JIMI AGBAJE/AFENIFERE

The Igbos should be wary of JIMI AGBAJE and AFENIFERE.They are politicians who are looking for ethnic heads to break coconuts on.

The Igbos are hardworking and resourceful and should try to overcome ethnic politics as the Yorubas have done. They should learn from immigrants from other lands worldwide. The Indians do not trouble their hosts or try to take over their lands. They make their money quietly and take it back home to develop their own land. That is why India has been able to lift herself from poverty. In contrast, the Igbos do not develop their own lands. All they do is largely to make money from abroad through whichever or whatever means and buy up property which other people have built and then claim they own the land without remembering that they can never hold aboriginal rights to the land in their hands whenever the chips come down.

Meanwhile, their land back home is languid, crying and shouting for investment and development and they begin to talk about marginalisation. Did they not flower and fruit under Obasanjo and Jonathan’s administrations? What happened to Igbo land in those 16 years that they were not marginalised? What happened to Yoruba land in those 16 years that the Yorubas were marginalised that Yoruba land still continued to be a honey pot for the Igbo?

I would go anyday with Chief Emeka Anyaoku who looks at the world with universal spectacles.

Succeeding Lagos governments have beautifully held the ethnic balance in Lagos and prevented ethnic disturbances. Igbos should stop saying they own Lagos or that they built Lagos or that Lagos is a “no man’s land”. Only a bastard Yorubaman will not feel affronted by such statements. And in spiritual terms, the man or woman who cannot defend his land is not fit to live. Wasn’t this the failure of the sons of the Incas?

It is good news that the leaders of the Igbos and other nationalities in Nigeria have met with the traditional leaders of the Yorubas in Okota and Oshodi areas to avert a backlash in respect of last election. As I said earlier, Agbaje and Afenifere are outside the mainstream of Yoruba politics. They are trying to take control of it. And they have the right to so aspire, being Yorubas.

What is objectionable to the mainstream Yoruba is their attempt to knock the heads of the Igbo against the head of the mainstream yorubas. They remind the yorubas of a similar affront by Afonja, the Yoruba army commander in Ilorin who was sent there by the Alaafin of Oyo to stop jihadist expansion. Afonja betrayed the Alaafin and invited the jihadists to defend his betrayal. They did and Afonja triumphed momentarily only to be killed afterwards by the jihadists who took over the land.

The perception in Yorubaland today is that the Igbo in Lagos especially are the modern jihadists and that Agbaje and Afenifere are the modern Afonjas. This is the underlying perception which, in my opinion, triggered the surface reaction in Okota last Saturday. The Yorubas remain an accomodating people. But they never fail to rise in their defence when they have to, as they did in the 1950s in respect of Dr Azikwe’s blatant attempt to usurp their land and as they also did at Ore during the civil war.

Kusa, a former Editor-in-Chief of The Guardian Newspaper, writes from Lagos

darkknight2010:
Perhaps, you Niger Deltans have answers to the questions I have asked below. Your excitement and enthusiasm is indeed and in fact well understood.

Eriokanmi:
Dey deceive yourself with a doctored tweet that has gone viral. It won't change anything. We know Gbadebo's lineage, schools attended, family in Lagos, one of them recently retired as a judge. If you knew the judge's grandma is itshekiri, you fit call am names too. We don't know that of jagaban. Chinedu or not, his father is lagosian and he claims lagos. You can give your vote to sanwoolu, ko gba agidi rara.

As we delivered in Alimosho on the 25th, so will we deliver same Alimosho where sanwoolu didn't do a single project in 4 years for LP come Saturday.

sharone21:
Oga, tell us how Sanwoolu managed his companies( after all, he wasn't poor as such before becoming the Governor of Lagos State)?... Tell us if he fully resigned?

Tell us if he has accepted his illegitimate son from our Delta?

All these nonsense you wrote is not what already tired Nigerian youths want to hear.... Where are jobs for the youths in Lagos State?

Apart from IGR, what has he done with our oil money?

If you hate Chinedu GRV, it invariably means you hate Niger Deltans, so why should we support you tribal bigots in your campaign of calumny?

You do not accept him whose dad is LAGOSIAN but you accept the Iragbiji wuruwuru landlord that everything about him is a LIE. People like us with ancient backgrounds rooted in Lagos /West since the 1890s, I know say your type no even see us as Yorubas/Lagosians but your sisters and brothers are in UK/USA/Ireland Parliaments...

So, limited in logical reasoning despite coming from a tribe that calls itself the most educated in Nigeria.

Good questions!
I hope we can spread this around enough for people to catch up to it. The guy is a complete scam coming from Asaba to want to rule over Lagos.

Thank you for bursting the igbos lie of his father being a supreme court justice.
