This guy is a top candidate that should be going head to head with Gov Sanwo Olu of Lagos.

He has the experience and profile to match unlike that low budget Nnamdi Kanu (GRV).

This guy, your post dey always make sense and very balanced.
Why were you not canvassing for him since he bought form. Definitely because you feel you are benefiting from the current order. Even if the immigrants of Lagos decided to vote for him, you will still find a way to tag him IPOP or whatever. Selfishness and tribalism have eaten deep to considerable percentage of you people. Don't come here to give flimsy excuses as a pretext for your hatred for strangers

This is a foolish question. Sorry to say. You are just supporting GRV because he supports Biafra and IPOB.

And why didn't you adopt him?

Since you believe he is good why do you still support sanwu olu??

We don't need a governor that's an errand boy to an ugly looking grandpa..
but u need the one that will make Lagos sit at home on Monday?

If you want me to vote for Doherty why then the insult on GRV. Some people don't even know how to campaign. Anyway sha his a good candidate but give me good reasons without insult why I should not vote for GRV.

Why didn't Labour party in Lagos State give this guy their party ticket??
Because he hasn't profess his hatred for yorubas.

He is not an ipob sympathizer

You must possess certain idiotic traits before you can get LP ticket.

Unfortunately, some idiots have taken over the space, clamouring for mediocrity in the name of we are woke! We should be focusing more on the ADC guys rather than the guy with nothing to contribute.
opamoses1:
Funny I never heard of him before. I had to go and google him on twitter where he gave some sort of short speech.

Who did we offend in Nigeria, this are the type of guys that should be leading.

Why are you trying to distract people while you are going to vote Sanwolu but you want others to have divided votes.

Test your popularity at the polls and stop spreading hate.

90% of people against GRV are not even indigenous Lagosians.

What happens to that Club right now. I remember when my boy Laolu Fasanya died in a ghastly accident,they really turned up for him in mourning. It is a big resume for any chic dating an ABC boy in Unilag those days.
Really don't know about the club sir. Just saying this generation should emulate guys like this. Not being a thug when you're supposed to be studying.

Acidosis:
He worked with Franklin Ellis Architects when he was in the UK. On returning to Nigeria, he worked with SISA, Cliff Consulting, etc. before venturing into politics and activism.

His academic profile is clear: University of Northingham, MIT, and UNILAG. One Masters degree in Architecture, another in public policy.

In 2019, he contested for a senatorial seat in Lagos under the PDP and garnered over 35% of total votes cast. Winner had about 40%.

What's Sanwo-Olu's political history again before he was handpicked?
If GRV had won the senatorial seat what would you have said was his political history.

I’m not rooting for anyone but SanwoOlu is governorship material, read about his life before political

Stop fooling yourself. We're sending Shinedu back to his IPOB headquarters of Abia on Saturday. Mark this mention, I come back to it when he loses.

Even though I won't likely vote APC or Labour,.this is Sanwo Olu's record before politics. He became a DGM at FCMB. I have left out his chairmanship at some company as I can't verify them just like I can't verify that of GRV.
Any vote not for Jide is a vote for IPOB Chinedu. All Ibos in Lagos are gonna vote Chinedu, so make sure you vote Jide. So that someone with experience can continue to take care of Lagos for the next 4 years. After that, we can create enough awareness for Doherty and we can get him into Alausa.

Why is no one talking about this guy. He has an impeccable resume.

Funso Doherty was born in Lagos on 16 June 1968. His father, the late Dr. Henry Aderounmu Aremu Doherty, a medical doctor, was also born in Lagos, in the year 1900 to “Oga” Josiah Henryson Doherty (popularly known as “the prince merchant of Alakoro”). His paternal grandmother, Germana, was from the Reis family. Funso’s mother, Gladys Urunowonekawo Kirstein, now in her nineties, was born in 1931 to an Itsekiri mother, Mary Kponuko Eyesan and a German father.

Bump.

Here are two Weblinks that would be of interest to you on the genealogy of the Doherty Family descendants who are originally of Ilaro in Ogun State paternal lineage with a direct Ijero-Ekiti matriach:

https://vickieremoe.com/blog/2019/3/14/the-story-of-us-a-quest-family

The Doherty family of course claim naturalized indigenship of Lagos Island, Lagos State like a lot of descendants of Yoruba returnees from after plantation slavery ended in the Caribbean, North, Central, and South America in the 1800s.
