Tell me the date tinubu was arrested for drug dealings, the US papers that was published, the court in US he did the bargain.
U think say US dey tolerate nonsense, it could have been an opportunity to hinder his mandate to contest for president.

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.
You see this your advise . Take it up, fold it proper and shove it into your ass! Person wey dem suppose still Dey advise they form adviser. Buzzu.,

Are you more lagosian than GRV?? go back to your ogbomoso village

I have been seeing you mentioning ogbomoso, ogbomoso ....... what is your problem with ogbomoso?

Why don't you carry yourself and move to ugwunagbo village?

Ogbomoso houses lautech, 'ARGUABLY' the best technology school and best state university in nigeria.

Go to the ogbomoso and see your igbo people littered everywhere. Put ogbomoso out of your mouth and anytime you want to mention village, remember ugwunagbo and that dirty aba city.

Nonsense.

This write-up is beautiful.

I wanted to vote for Sanwo-Olu before the presidential election, but Mr. Gbadebo has my vote on Saturday. For me, Saturday's guber election will be a protest vote.

If this young guy wins the guber election, he will be running one of the biggest economies in Africa and that will inspire young, sane and good Nigerians to join politics.

It's youth o'clock

Good luck to Mr. Gbadebo!


The economy will fall to a record low, that's certain. he is talking about how to spend the 45 billion without enumerating how to increase the revenue that has been on a steady increase since 1999.

No surreptitious take over of Lagos by Chinedu. Sawo Olu is a hard worker for Lagosians and we are solidly behind him.

Ladies and gentlemen, here is the bare-faced confession for why this country has been a failed state. Why can't someone whose parents came from Edo state but born and raised in Lagos be the Governor of Lagos? Forget whether this candidate is even Lagos indigene by convention worldwide recognised (patrilineal line). Why are Africans so ape-like?

Tinubu and all previous APC governors are scared to death of this impending disaster and this governorship election may even be more violent than the presidential: all their robbery of Lagos for 24 years straight at risk of exposure. Awolowo started ethnic tribalism in this country to survive a defeat at the hands of Azikiwe's party with YORUBA candidates in 1952; the legacy lives on.

FAILED SOCIETY!

Get off your lazy behind and proceed to Igboland. I can guarantee you that if you make your mark, you can easily win an elective position.

Maitama Sule or thereabouts used to be the mayor of Enugu...

Why should it be anybody's fault that you lack the venturesomeness to leave your neck of woods?

Igboland is open and welcoming to all residents irrespective of tribe or creed.

You are trying to disparage a sterling candidate who has checked almost all the box just because you cannot process his Igbo-part parentage....

I feel sorry for you....

I don't care whether you people vote for chinedu or not but sir, you're a lier.

I served in igboland and i don't know about other people but if you are a muslim or a northerners you are not properly welcomed there. How many yoruba's are in your land? will it be accomodating that people will not troop in there?

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?

Much of Lagos wealth goes into a few hands. If GRV invests that money in power generation, transmission and distribution in Lagos alone, Lagos State and lives in it will be richer. That's one example.

Mediahq:
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.

You can campaign for your candidate and be fairl & honest. Your paragraph 4 shows how typically one of the problems of Nigerian politicians you are; where you said """they ( the Rhodes you mean) and similarly minded nationalist build lagos, a credit some people want to steal""""
Does this mean the said people were not part of those that built Lagos? Oga you are one of the problem types.

Dumbfucks, come and see what happened in Ogun state due to the crisis of trying to send Amosu away and we ignorantly voted for a catastrophe which is Dapo Abiodun.

Dapo Abiodun came as an emergency candidate and the people of Ogun are now regretting their actions.

So if you're voting based on sending some particular people out without using your brain,

You people are already on the part to crush Lagos economy.

But, we at Ogun state will be very happy to accept new growth and development in case Lagos is not going well for businesses again
.

And never will a foreigner or a visitor will come to our land to claim what's meant for the landowners.

This is not being a tribalistic or a backward thinking, this is being realistic,

Can you accept someone from another family to come and be the head of your family house?

How come the Igbos are present in virtually every part of Nigeria contributing immensely to the socio-economic development of those places?

Are all the places "accommodating"?

Put an Igboman in Afghanistan, he will find a way to thrive amidst the Taliban or Al Qaeda...

Go to Igboland and carve out a niche through which you can render services or meet needs, the consequence will be success..

Leave that guy he can only fool the gullible I stayed in the East for 8 yrs plus . What other tribes tolerates from them they can't take it. All the things they speak of in Yoruba land are In existence in Igbo land they never take blame or accuse themselves of wrong doing . Cultism , Thuggery is existent in the east .
Ask them what happens during IMOKA festival they'll keep quiet what about the cult war in Awka and igbariam.

I pity Yoruba people who form nonsense woke for people who are not sincere . Its nothing wrong for any tribe to assume governorship in any state but the truth is that we're not on that level and know tribe should pretend to be just like the igbos be they can't take. imagine a tribe that refused Bianca ojukwu senatorial ticket because she's Enugu a full blooded Igbo woman married to an Igbo man .
