You must have mistyped this, because you meant to say:

Sanwo Olu is going to gaol (jail), for his crimes against Lagosians.

Sanwo olu will win on Saturday. He has really done well in his first term, and will win convincingly. If you think the Gbadebo will pull any surprise, then you are on a long thing.

I'm not Yoruba

BossGerald:
Can ogun allow kwara?? Hypocrite

You are the hypocrite here ... Bianka comes to mind... Na Lagos dey enter una eye ... Wetin concern you and yoruba land... Thrives always fighting people on their land ... Na why south africans dey show una shege

ElSudani:
We don't want him. Abi se agidi ni? Dude can't even speak Yoruba.
No surreptitious take over of Lagos by Chinedu. Sawo Olu is a hard worker for Lagosians and we are solidly behind him.

Please clean those wewe abeg

Fight never start you begin dey wewe for your pants.

maestroferddi:
You are supposed to have risen above basic tribal sentiments by virtue of education and exposure...

Im above it but hos old tweets and metamorphic first name are major NO NOs. Would anambra consider a candidate with yoruba name?.....

While typing d above i thot to myself... Am i being tribalistic? I badly want obi as president, ive lived around ladipo spare parts market and i have igbo friends... The issue is... What you cant tolerate, dont serve others..

No man born of a woman can stop Sanwo-olu from becoming the governor of lagos state for the second time. Sanwo-olu is coming.

As Nigerians brace up for the Governorship and State House of Assembly phase of the 2023 general elections due for Saturday March 11, Lagosians have another date to keep with history. People-driven history will be made, so they must beware of the symbolic Ides of March which is cloaked in the campaign of falsehood and divisive ethnic politicking by individuals whose fabled political structure was crushed in the last presidential election in Lagos.

The desperados are jittery about another defeat and whipping up primitive sentiments against Labour Party's Governorship Candidate, Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour (GRV), calling him names in order to turn indigenous people against him. In reality, what they are afraid of is the solid pedigree of this original Lagosian, his ability to deliver and vintage ethnic hybrid position to play the politics of inclusiveness that accommodate everyone, no matter ethnic, religious or economic status.

Who is this Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour and why are they so keen to disparage him with unfounded fallacies? Gbadebo (‘The one who brings the crown’) is a Lagos original with true blood flowing in his veins. He is a proud descendant of the prestigious Rhodes-Vivour family, whose pedigree as foremost legal luminaries and judges, with distinguished contributions to the state's development, date back to the 1800s - about 400 years in history.

Indeed, Gbadebo is the great grandson of eminent Justice Steven Bankole Rhodes, a founding father of the executive and judiciary, who served on the Executive Council with eminent Nigerians like Adeyemo Alakija. They and similarly minded nationalists built Lagos, a credit some people have been trying to steal. Also, Gbadebo's uncle is the Supreme Court Judge, Justice Bode Rhodes Vivour.

In terms of direct parentage, GRV’s own father is Barrister Olawale Rhodes-Vivour, a distinguished lawyer and detribalized son, who embodies the Lagos spirit of accommodation by marrying a wonderful Igbo woman, Nkechi, who is Gbadebo’s mother today. Interestingly, GRV’s diverse names as Gbadebo (‘The one who brings the crown’), Chinedu (‘God is leading’) and Patrick (‘of noble origin’) all point to a man destined for greatness and leadership.

So, with such a rich and highly accommodating pedigree, politicians are afraid that GRV's candidacy makes it easy for both members of the Igbo and Yoruba tribes to support, trust and see him as one of their own. Before and after the last presidential election, Gbadebo’s rising profile as an authentic unifying face of Lagos made powers that be to descend to sponsoring social media influencers to promote a fake campaign of an Igbo takeover agenda. They even lied about GRV saying Lagos is no man’s land.

The truth is that the opponents do not want a true and accommodating indigene to be governor. Greed for power and resources makes the enemies of Lagos go any length to retain power. However, a GRV, aside from a rich pedigree, will bring a breath of fresh air and restore the original glory of the state with inclusive and progressive development policies.

He has pledged to use 10% of Lagos IGR to empower 1 million poor Lagosians with interest-free loans. GRV has plans to rehabilitate the ‘Agberos’, area boys and thugs, and reintegrate them back into society as responsible citizens. He will fix the bad roads in all parts: from Ikotun, Ijegun, Satellite town, Lagos-Badagry Expressway and Ikorodu to Sagamu Expressway, irrespective of the predominant tribe living there in order to boost international trade.

GRV will provide affordable housing and stop the racket that goes on with government built homes. A LP government will make life better for the civil servants, the middle class, will improve wages and salaries for government workers, as well as fight for the poor and the economically disadvantaged. Today, Lagos has over 1 trillion naira debt portfolio and contractual obligations of over 500 billion naira.

GRV’s plan is built around quality and affordable education in public schools, quality and very affordable health services. He will also ensure provision of drinkable water to as many homes as possible and will fight for the poor and underprivileged by introducing transparency into procurement and contracting process and a level playing field to enable the participation of all qualified persons.

GRV supported and coordinated the campaign of Peter Obi as the most competent presidential candidate. With incontrovertible evidence, GRV supports Mr. Obi’s legal bid to contest the presidential election results in Lagos because Obi won the state overwhelmingly. Opponents actually see GRV, a true Lagosian, as their biggest threat to that selfish anti-secession plan.

GRV resolutely refused to sell out and step down from the governorship race in spite of the enticements wrapped as so-called mouth-watering pecuniary offers. Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour stands on principles of fairness, integrity, equity, justice and inclusiveness to enthrone a new government that will benefit everyone in Lagos, no matter where they come from.

This is nothing but damage control.

He, unfortunately has been exposed as a tribalistic chameleon whose past, as recent as 2021, has come to haunt him.

Shantyken:
Same as what was tinubu crime

Tinubu is a known drug baron who forfeited a whole $460,000 in the US for drug crime...such a man can't be president

BossGerald:

What is GRV crime?

He's hiding under Igbos as usual nzogbu cry to gather votes. Whereas, he is untested. One on one, he can't campaign among Yorubas in Lagos except to use Igbo sentiments.
What's nzogbu cry?
An unjust tribalistic cry against an opponent cos they just hated the person or their associates or family. As it's done in Osu system whereby no matter how good an individual is, they aren't good enough if they are from Osu.
Now they are painting Sanwoolu that everyone enjoyed black cos of Tinubu. What a daft ethnic group!
Same way Ojukwu started a war he can't finish.
Where's Nnamdi Kanu? Eating beans at Kuje.
Where's Samuel Ekpa or Elepa?
Igbos dey fûck up big time.

Igbos in lagos dey pain yorubas eh, but na we own lagos, u cant tell them to leave lagos, na envy o, no be them tell una to no sabi know way to make money, if they decide to leave lagos, u will never hear the name lagos internationally again. Be peaceful to them cos na them dey feed una for lagos o.

pacesetting:
Those ones that are turning against him becasue of his old tweets are largely ignorant. He wants fair treatment for all residents, exactly what people like Falze are saying.

There are video evidences all over the internet where thugs are harassing people and stopping them to vote, but Sanwo Olu has kept quiet.

By the way, how can a sane Yoruba believe that Igbos want to take over their land? They have not done it with their neighbours (Cross River, Delta, etc). Is it in far away Lagos that it will be possible?

yep he can't possibly be wrong

BossGerald:
But you dey lagos

Not presently

factcheckmmm:
My advice for Yoruba people

A Yoruba man is a Yoruba man forget sentiment

Today most of you as the most tribalist today cause of how you defend Tinubu despite the whole laughing at you while others collect cause they are seen as Nigerians

GRv will help you close a bit of that part.

Help yourself now the world is watching you

It is better despite my tribe am being profile as an Igbo man cause they have the remark of being hustler and friendly love money..

Than to profile as You lot.. tribalist to the core,

But why is it I dreamt that GRv lost the election with a little margin

Go out there, make him win protect your vote.

We are Yorubas, we won't vote a bastard Igbo to rule us. If that is tribalism to you, fuuk you, fuuk your mother, fuuk GRV and fuuk all what you represent.

Person that can't speak Yoruba ... Things igbos can't take ... Lagos as been fielding people outside the West state no be today... Can you say the same about your eastern state... I never see yorubas video within the West fight like the igbos... I have see Ebonyi and Enugu after four generations still no gree for the Ebonyi man... Lagos is South West ... Not igbo land ... Nonkee your self ontop another mans land ...

Draslo:
Tell the truth OP, which state are you from? And dare I ask, who is your best performing governor in the last 24 years?

Thunder strike anyone who omits Chinedu from this guy's name. The name he brazenly used under PDP. Who be mugu?

so wetin do chinedu

Faber:
You see this Omo Ale (according to urchins) na him we go vote..

Obidients we must deliver GRV 🙏
#ObiIsComing
#PODATTI Tsunami2023

Urchin urchin Tinubu won. That IPOB apologist can NEVER be our governor. Show me what your ogogoro drinking governors have done in your state.

ElSudani:

Are you from Lagos? Even Sanwo Olu,BAT etc are not even from Lagos State. Now you're here telling a true lagos indigene he can't vie for his legitimate right,You lie!

No doubt the l.p. has actually made in-road significantly into the Nigerian politics. The masses will only benefit good governance through their inroads not directly from L.P. but due to the fact that those assuming political positions will know that they need not mess up at all.
Other parties too will be forced to perform well owing to be fact that they might booted during the next election if they fail to.

Efisimilala:
Can't speak Yoruba factor while your yoruba descendants are in UK, US and Canada's top government offices,

So, having a Yoruba blood running through your vains is not a criteria anymore abi? you must speak the language...Urchins kindly take a chill pill.

Wow you're really engrossed with Yoruba politics...So I'm guessing you're Yoruba too ?
Otherwise I don't understand the obesession with who Yoruba vote in a Yoruba state

Shut up, Osu this Osu that, what do you know About Osu? You don't even know that culturally Osu in ibo means sacred, you don't touch or harm them hence the gods will deal with you.

Now back to the topic, b4 sanwolu, buhari, Abiodun became governor, which test did they undergo??

Your point is baseless and tribalistic, keep up with tribalism and see sanwolo fail woefully this saturday

I Like Gbadebo Chinedu as a Person and have Listened to his Debate Several Times. He talks good ideas but the Issues are where is he going to get the Revenue to Fund Those Lofty Ideas.

He said he's going to get rid of Agberoism but Agberoism is a Source of Revenue for Lagos State Government. Agreed Agberoism excesses should be Curtailed.

Chinedu also talk about inflated Project but the truth is there isn't a Work Breakdown Structure put in Place or Suggested by My Brother; to make sure projects are Completed on time. Prices of Materials increase when projects are not done on time.

Chinedu, i Wish you Well in your Future Endeavors..
