Can Okowa speak Urhobo?

Can Obaseki speak Ishan?

Can Wike speak Ijaw?

Lagos is not a Yoruba only speaking state and besides the Language isn't official lingual franca.
Is Okowa Urhobo ?
Is Obaseki Eshan ?
Is Wike Ijaw ?

Do you have a single digit IQ huhhuh

The Igbos are the one carry Lagos no be Yoruba land for head like Galla . Even If Lagos is not Yorubas land . Can if never belong to Igbos ? These people are mad Dogs . They don't care for theirs but claiming what can never be theirs. A Bastard always Ignore him papa house but claiming another man's land.

The Ibos have always repeated the same mistake over and over again in Lagos. Mind your business and don't try anything disruptive in the local politics. You will only attract the kind of attention that will curtail your growth in Lagos. You better pray your candidate wins this election because if he loses, you will lose a great deal also

That's my point exactly. Urhobo is a major tribe in Delta yet Okowa isnt Urhobo. So what happens to Urhobos? They get ignored in governance and victimized right.

Look, if your IQ was anywhere near as high as you portray, you will know there are over 250 languages in Nigeria but only 36 states.

Under fair circumstances, settlers have right to vote because they pay their taxes in full. Right to cast a vote isn't a reward for ancestral history, but for every contributor to commonwealth of the state having a voice on who manages the commonwealth of the people.

Oga sanwo olu must not start projects.. It is only a foolish government that considers what he built in his tenure.. Sanwo can go about doing hospital and school etc like other governor in Nigeria but economical for the state and Nigeria he is working on long term plans with more economical benefits... The rail for example can generate in 4 years amount to build those hospitals and others. It is not about plan go and meet Ikpeazu he will bring out a wonderful plan for you..
My problem with sanwo-olu is that he is an agent of institutionalized corruption. He and his cliques award inflated projects to cronies and fronts. Not just that but also force the people to pay the inflated cost of those projects at a crazy interest rate over decades.
If you don't see anything wrong in not doing five times as much he is currently doing when the funds are in fact available but were skillfully looted via inflated contracts and projects, then you are an hypocrite.

I wish we could use this opportunity of election extension to have a meeting with the governor. Lagos makes too much to be in this state. The taxes are too much. Extortion from lastminute.com and other agencies. Its crazy. Agbero too, please what do they use the levy the charge governor for? They don't even maintain the bus stop. It's not a good look honestly

GRV is presumably Yoruba and should be able to speak the language of his people.
Lagos is not a multi ethnic state . Lagos is Yorubaland

I made no assertion on GRV.. Stop running and shifting goalpost.. You just accused Sanwo olu of fraud now, where did u see me accuse GRV of such? Again u can place it here for all to see.. Prove the accusations or else hold ur peace. Sometimes it easy to perceive political jobbers because they keep evading substance and shifting the crux of an argument.

Compare Lagos Blue rail project to Addiss Ababa own and get back to me. I insist the projects under Sanwo-olu are inflated as much as 10 times and average of 4 times the UN benchmarks.
Re: GRV Doesn't Have To Speak Yoruba To Govern Lagos by Goke7: 11:31am On Mar 12, 2023
There are rural parts of Lagos where you can only engage stakeholders there using Yoruba.

Secondly Yoruba is the original lingua Franca for Lagos. Anybody trying to change the identity of Lagos has failed already

Addis Ababa is not a slum or cocoa yam plantation.

You are making it sound as though Sanwo-olu or any gov goes to the rural area to ask questions directly in local dialects. That is part of what some of them have 5000 aides for.

Go and find the technical aspects and stop saying what you don't know.. The fact it is not a slum does make it same as lagos. To build a bridge in 2 part of the country doesn't cost same talkless of different countries with different topography and demographics.. Shalom

Yes, he does and every Lagos governor does that, or you think every Lagosian can speak English? Why you feel the Lagos govt owned media have programs or news entirely in Yoruba, There is no Lagos governor that will not have press briefings or interviews with Journalists in Yoruba.

Correct, CRV does not need to speak Yoruba, thats why he also does not need to govern in Lagos.
