Have the gubernatorial election in SE states have all been cancelled? How about the state assembly election?

Had your region have political leaders like the ones in SW, there wouldn't have been anything like UGM hope you know.

Yet you guys are less concerned about the happenings in your region. Had other regions being docile in their approach to security and development matter, your people would have remained put cos they had it better.

What exactly is this mentality of having solutions to others problems while clueless in solving theirs? Fishes are inside water not untop of trees

If you want to be happy for a day, drink beer

If you want to be happy for weeks, get married

But if you want to be happy for the rest of your life, then mind your business..

Always howling like a wounded puppy.

Dr Awojide created a Twitter spaces to preach against online and offline bullying, intimidation and violence and actress Toyin Abraham talked about how she has been bullied because of her choice of candidate.

https://twitter.com/Magiclammy_/status/1633015492356059139

Ogbeni Dipo has also been the victim of bullying. For many years people wrote to his former employers to demand that he should be sacked. He recently changed jobs and people started a rumour that he was sacked because of sexual harassment. He subsequently posted letters from his former and current employers to prove that the claim was false.

Why did they demand for his sack? What happened? Has he ever sexually harassed someone before? Is there something the rumors are leveraging on, perhaps?

He is an abusive scandal loving man himself if his Twitter posts are anything to go by, so why is he against bullying when he is a prominent (cyber)bully too? Analyze his tweets or fact check them as you normally do. There was a man who he abused mercilessly on Twitter, and the man did not insult him first. He was able to retain his job, though that man may have felt scared and threatened by his posts. Perhaps he's feeling the heat the way he gave it to others with the half-hearted threat that has him squealing insincerely about how he feels threatened and he's so scared and needs therapy, yet his posts indicate it is a ploy for the police. Those are not fearful and scared posts/responses coming from him. They are a dare/challenge. He simply wants to lash out at that poster. Maybe make him lose his job as he's lost his too.

He's not too crafty to see through.

Unless one has a soft spot for this person, due to shared ideologies and perhaps inclinations, there is no reason to law for him. The man is not an agent of peace and harmony.

In as much I don't tolerate bigotry and tribal incitement

You should also purge away hate from your heart

In this world we came with nothing and we gonna all die taking nothing to the grave even your land of origin

So why are we just hating ourselves over nothing?

Nairaland is always promoting tribal wars ... Seun is also low-key pushing this agenda..

It won't END WELL for all of us if we continue acting this way

I swear to God, I became (more) tribalistic when I discovered Nairaland. I never knew Igbo hate Yoruba and vice versa.

BossGerald:


You're a very unfortunate individual.


So dipo I'd living in UK where things work?? Where an India can become the PM and yorubas major and councillors...yer he's busy promoting tribal hatred against a true lagosian GRV who's only crime was having an igbo woman.

Pls someone should provide details of the right UK authority to report him, he needs to be deported back in nigeria to exercise his tribalism well well

The crime of GRV isn't that his mother is Igbo, it is because, in time past, he has been seen making derogatory comments about Yorubas, he is inclined more towards Igbo, which is ok, but making such comments is unacceptable in the Yoruba tradition, maybe in Igbo it is ok.


And yes, it is ok for anybody to become anything anywhere, don't make Lagos your exploitation ground when you will never reciprocate same ever in your region.
An Igbo woman tried to represent her constituency, they refuse her just because she married from Ondo...the refusal is not even the issue, but the manner in which it was stated, the excuse smells of tradition.

Enyimbamercedes:

Ogbeni Dipo is a very big Twitter clown with typical immigrant behaviour. Capitalising on the reliability of their institutions and begins to feign fear and distress. The foolish actor even starts talking about his mental health an all... he knows why he is doing this.

You do all this in a system that works but then sit behind a keyboard and support leaders that do not have the capacity to replicate same in your home country.

Dipo you arent the first with a British Passport and a native Brit will not act half of the drama you acted out on your timeline. Stop being stupid.... with your British Passport that reads Place of birth as Ikorodu.

Your first paragraph is apt. He's a bad actor. I first came across this guy from a thread where he was abusing the living daylights out of a man who posted something he was at odds with. Since he lost his job, he's found a new hypocritic calling. His Twitter history is a history of abusive tirades. Now he's scared and publicly role playing with that friend of his who is offering to talk to him.

Intetesting topics the OP brings here. There's a trend to them.

In my entire life, I have never experienced this level of division amongst Nigerians. Hatred flowing from the gut of most people online, if they aren't calling people Afonja, it's IPOB or other derogatory names.
The APC government has failed woefully in uniting Nigerians, funny enough suffering doesn't separate tribes.
I was at the fuel station today, and didn't see any line strictly for Hausas, yorubas, Igbos or even Efik, but you all will come on line with your hearts filled with hate to cuss each other out and then return to suffering.

Divide and Rule is the strategy of this politicians, they do not mean us well. But You keep fighting for them,making enemies and hate other Nigerians for someone who doesn't know you or care about you.

I voted for Obi, but as the case may be he wasn't announced winner, I have not lost hope. But as it stands if it is actually God's will for Asiwaju to be Preisdent then so be it and i will keep praying for him to succeed if he has good intentions for Nigeria, but you all must understand that if he doesn't perform well it's everyone it'll affect, look at how badly the North was affected with insecurity despite the fact that PMB is from the North.

In the spirit of love for Nigeria, cleanse your heart of hatred for another tribe, the Igbo man isn't the reason you are suffering, neither is the yoruba man nor Hausa man. Hold your politicians to account.

Just so you know I've been on the fuel queue since 3am, hoping that I'll get fuel to buy, guess the tribe of guy who is right in front of me and we've been gisting? A Yoruba guy, and an Hausa guy is right in front of him. Guess what ? There isn't any preferential treatment to anyone of us because of our tribe na all of us dy suffer the suffer.

Thanks and so have a great day my brethren.

You have done your own part. Thanks

Well...Threats that we are absolving on the streets of Nigeria on a dailys and this one is shaking like someone with a gun to the head already...

All I see is a full-time coward...!!

You are nothing but an foolish ipobian. You quote UK but why dont you quote Anambra or Enugu for such an example? You guys are dindin rin. How many Yorubas can be allowed to be voted for? How many of your useless family voted for Tinubu in the East? If you want to become something in Lagos, why dont you allow others through your vote to become something in your deserted region?

Some of Obigili supporters are so full of themselves. God I thank you I did not vote for this bigot, useless children.

naptu2:
Famous Twitter user and personal development expert Dr Dipo Awojide (aka Ogbeni Dipo) reacted to a Twitter spaces audio recording in which some people threatened to send traditional rulers and other people out of Lagos after the governorship elections (https://twitter.com/jeffphilips1/status/1632620579755896833). He preached peace and tolerance and this led to a discussion about the Lagos State governorship election.

During that discussion, someone asked Dipo, "Who gave the order" and Dipo replied with the chain of command of the Nigerian Army (president → chief of defence staff → chief of army staff, etc). Then a Twitter user, @NDGOONER26, threatened to kill Dipo if he sees him in Birmingham (Dr Dipo Awojide is a lecturer in the UK). Some other Twitter users immediately notified the Metropolitan Police and other police forces in the UK and @NDGOONER26 subsequently locked his Twitter account.

The Metropolitan Police has started investigating the matter.

I pity for you. Since when did good governance become tribal? Chinedu is Igbo and yoruba, Gbadebo is not Igbo name, you still talk.
I pity for you really. You lucky people do not know you in person. You no for like wetin some people for do you.

What will you do at the bolded? Kill him like unknown gun men kill and behead people in your region. Violent and hate filled animals.

This is a very different scenerio...how can a first lady of Ondo state aspire to vie for a senatorial constituency in Imo state all the way from Ondo state...

Well, if you didn't see greediness and desperation in what she did, the Imolites saw it crystal clear...!!

That was how I was reading several posts from Obidients particularly from a region of the country on WhatsApp about their intention of cooking and putting poison in the food to serve the poor northern beggars just because the north did not vote favourably for their candidate as they had expected.

Some were even laying curses on Ekiti people forgetting that some people from that same Ekiti voted for them.


It is Crystal clear this whole movement is not about New Nigeria, the few people in the South West who bought into this idea did so because of the obvious failure of the Buhari government and they voted in protest against this government and understandably they were right in their judgement, but taking a cursory look at the events after the presidential election it is obvious there is a hidden underlying agenda which is not known to many of those who fall into this category.

How do you explain this level of toxicity and wickedness towards people who hold different political opinion or who doesn't support your candidate How?


This is dangerous because hate begets hate and if we continue this way it can only lead to something disastrous. I don't know how true as I can not verify the authenticity, I read a post from Joe Igbokwe of an APC supporter who was killed in the East, this type of trend will only lead to disaster.

Hussein035:


You want Yoruba to elect Chinedu Gbadebo as Governor but in your useless region you can never allow an Abia indigene to even get primary election nominate in Anambra let alone being chairmanship flagbearer.

You people hate Yoruba too much yet you cannot go anywhere except their state to find livelihood still you want to take over their land due to jealousy. Thunder will strike you people in Saturday in Lagos. You will learn that this is SW and we don't need Igbo agenda in Lagos.

Bunch of Yoruba haters. Tueh

Chinedu will be Governor in. Lagos and there is absolutely nothing you can do about it

DREAMHOMES6970:
That recording was done by an APC person. Since after the presidential election. APC have been using all kinds of religious gimmics to strive up religious sentiments among citizens. They are too desperate for this election. From asking all the state workers to submit their PVC's or stand risk of loosing their job to using bloggers to stir religious war on social media to releasing all impounded car to claiming Labor party is forming an alliance with them to promising workers of salary increase just because of election. I just heard they have started paying owed pensions. Honestly APC and sanwo olu is just too desperate for this election. Sanwo olu same person that lied nothing happened in Lekki toll gate

This your style is stale already. Everyone with a working brain knows it's your Obidient people doing all of this cyber bulling even way before the election. Evidence abound on the cyberspace. So stop trying to shift the goal post.

Liar!! Even like cook up fake stories like this, Nothing will stop Gbadebo from flushing out Sanwolu on Saturday

Hahahahahaha, baba Get small life na.

See them running around like headless chickens when they get threatened, but when Obidients got threatened in Lagos they didn’t call on the Police they feigned neutrality
These period go hot for everybody, mark my word
Who do anyhow go see anyhow

kcnwaigbo:

Liar!! Even like cook up fake stories like this, Nothing will stop Gbadebo from flushing out Sanwolu on Saturday

That your people are not extremely toxic with this whole election issue or what?

AntiChristian:
If you work among obidients you'll see that most are aways filled with hatred against other tribes.

When they hate you, no amount of good you do for them will make them like you.

They sabi share bad news about Nigeria. They do not share good news!

The toxicity of this set of people is bewildering...

I just pray they lose woefully from top to bottom on Saturday!

Your "people" are so violent and utterly tribalistic too. Why do you paint yourself as a saint?

Oga shut, have you been to the east?? What development have you contributed to deserve such honor?? Stop sounding foolish oo

Tifnubu needs votes from east yet will keep insulting them during campaign here? Your people sleep on igbo tribalism here on Nairaland.

Southeast is more developed than your overrated slummy region, how many airports do you have?? Yet small east has 4, can any of your brown roof cities match enugu or Owerri??

Your not a lagosian so go back to your ekiti village and stop constituting nuisance in lagos.

It was strictly a party issue, stop lying to yourself.

If you want position in the east, you can't rule us from ogbomoso...so you first come here, establish a meaningful business, marry and socialize.

Besides, you aren't a lagosian, go back to your ekiti village, you have no right to tell lagosians how to run their affairs, you're just an immigrant.

Zincfingers:

May you and your generation be unfortunate for life .
Stop the false narratives already.
No one gives a damn about the ethnicity of that bastard's wife. Makinde , Adeleke and even Akeredolu all have non Yoruba wives and no one makes a fuss out of it.
The problem is that the Lagos bastard is anti Yoruba and as such can never be rewarded with the governorship of our fore most state. Yakowa's fate awaits that bastard

You're an unfortunate soul, you said same about jimi agbaje, even oba lagos threatened igbos then.

Stop hiding under tribalism to talk rubbish, he was never anti yoruba.

nedekid:

Abi, let him come and enjoy naija with us.

Yes nau ...make him come and enjoy lagos agberi and owomida urchins

raskymonojendor:

Governor Ademola Adeleke has an Igbo mother from Enugu. He is loved in the west.
Governor Akeredolu is married to an Igbo woman from Imo state, no problem.

Gbadebo's crimes are his anti-Yoruba tweets and his love for IPOB/ Nnamdi Kanu.

You're nothing but a liar, very deceptive.

If you truly hate nnamdi kanu and ipob, why don't you support their breakaway from you??

Mind you ipob and kanu started as unarmed protesters before buhari came with his python dance nonsense, atleast GRV saw the hypocrisy in kanu and supported a just course. When did it become a crime to seek for freedom?? I even support oduduwa Republic.

Face your osun state and leave lagos for true bona-fide Lagosians

naijapips04:


Why is an Hausa Fulani man not a governor in Anambra state? Why are things not working in Anambra state?

Why are things not working in other yoruba states except lagos?? I'm very certain you're in lagos now?? Why can't you be in your own state??.

Anambra is working, we have the biggest market in West Africa, well developed towns and villages.

Even my hometown has many decent housing than ogbomoso...its not my fault that you've never travelled past akure all through your life.

I'd advice you to face your ilu aje village and leave lagos politics for true Lagosians

Pwhitelaw:
Deport a British citizen...You are insane I swear

He's dual citizen, he'd cry racism over there but here,he is drumming tribalism.

His UK citizenship needs to be withdrawn

Election everywhere in nigeria is strictly a party thing, same way tifnubu won Osibanjo and fashola who're far better than him in Apc.

GRV is a true lagosian, not an ogbomoso immigrant like you that came lagos yesterday to claim lagosian just because you can speak yoruba.

You threatened fire and brimstone b4 last Saturday election only for Obi to win lagos despite all your thuggery, ballot box snatching and voter intimidation, wretched poor man like you don't have a say in lagos.

Go back to your ekiti village and leave lagos politics for Lagosians

Hello Good afternoon, this is one of the most inspiring post I have seen on Nairaland since this the beginning of this election campaign and brouhaha.
It's my prayers that may our nation and the people therein be unified again and may peace reign in our borders always. Thanks for this inspiring post I hope it gets to change the mind set of all.
Thank you.
