Tribalism has no place in politics, since igbos are the majority in that area its a good political move to elect one of thier own into a very key position to attract a good number of votes for the party...anybody who doesn't agree to this is politically daft ..have u ever sat down to think about d reason why Gov.Chukwuma soludo of Anambra state appointed a yoruba in his cabinet? Even Sanwo olu of lagos appointed Joe igbokwe as commissioner in lagos state..politicians know better..na only poor ,bitter people are quick to play tribal politics

Dalohad:
The usual bitter ethnic politics that is stock in trade of the bulabanns.

is this is not federal politics
he should not try to develop Lagos
he should go and develop south east

Two news.

teeteepeejay:
Nice one from the people of Ojo local govt.

This abomination must not be allowed

In a free and fair contest, an Ibo in any party will easily win the Chairmanship!

greggng:
Why is it difficult to let the igbos go since you guys hate them this much ? A yoruba man will travel to Canada and UK and win elected position there ...An igbo man will do same over there ...but when it comes to Nigeria the tribalism is too much ...This country xanbot move forward with this kind of mindset

how are Yorubas holding the igbos from going permanently to their Biafra?

Gerrard59:
There are more Igbos in Lagos than Yorubas in the entire southeast.

This is basic mathematics.

they should mind there trade business and stay out of politics of the locals….there are Yorubas in SE that have lived there all there lifes and even understand the language yet they are not deem worthy to be appointed into political office talkless of being elected.

Yorubas don’t go against their boundaries and respect their host in any place you find them. Yorubas have always welcomed the yeebos in Lagos and accommodated them and given them privileges others don’t enjoy in the place.

It is not our fault that we don’t find their region attractive to migrate too because of the hostility and non viability of their region. Nigeria of today is not like before, now everyone has seen the agenda of the yeebos in Lagos, and we are wiser now the last election really thought us a great lesson.

Ever wonder why they no longer enjoy the political offices they once enjoyed in the past? Like appointment and elective post? Yorubas are taking back there city and embracing conservative ideology, so make everybody bear hin papa name, btw proudly Lagos.

As Anambra is a no man's land.
So is Lagos a no man's land
Argue with your keyboard

Voelo:
If Tinubu an Iragbiji man in Osun state can rule Lagos twice, then it is no man's land

presido11:
As far as the person have lived in the state for a long time to qualify. Igbos gat no issue with that. We are not tribal.

The same place where a bona-fide Igbo woman was not allowed to contest because she was married to a man from another tribe?

Igbos are not the majority. Yorubas are the majority in Ojo.

Shame on them, this is 2025
Here's a Yoruba becoming a mayor (head of councilors) in the UK

UK colonized the world and invited people over to their country. Yorubas did not colonize anybody. They were forced into amalgamation by the British. They are asking that you do not interfere in their local politics.

Chinjo2:
The flag bearer chose an igbo man because he knows that he alone can get 60 of the total vote cast. If you know Ojo very well you will understand what I am talking about.
Ojo is an igbo dominated area.

I don't know the obsession you people have with trying to control Lagos politically. Something you people can't accept in your native state politics for a Yoruba to even be councillor not to talk of vice chairman

Slytiger:
Lol

The delusions they have is really very funny 🤣

dalass:

Extremely funny. They think Ojo LGA is just Alaba and Isolo LCDA is just Okota. 😂
There posts are coming from a place of ignorance.

That’s to your own conviction.

Only a Yoruba man from Lagos should be Lagos governor.

Come back the day an Ebonyi man becomes governor of anambra or any other tribe

Exactly why we need to ensure you never get the chance to. Go to Anambra and do what you like

is iragbaji osun state part of aba in Igbo land?
Thank God is still in South West!
The day Igbo will allow yorubas to be a Governor in their state we do the same until then no room for chests beating nonsense I come in peace.

Exactly 💯🤣

This is stupid. There is a large population of Igbos in Ojo, Festac and Amuwo Odofin. Making one of them Vice Chairman is not a bad thing. They contribute to the LG and state at large.
Even though they can be arrogant about it but this is politics and politics is a game of numbers
Embrace them before it Obi comes to brainwash them that they are marginalized in Lagos.

Tomorrow you will turn and accuse igbos of tribal politics.

Better.

There us nothing tribal about this.

Don't mind them. So tribalistic. They should learn political inclusivity from our mud region where Bianca was not allowed to contest because she was not from Anambala.

...who will be crying crocodiles tears on National TV..after this Ronu episode..?

Lolz. Laughing emojis can't hide the intense pain burning up your heart at this news (and other news that show how irrelevant 5% potters are).

Look at the areas where ibo are dominant in Lagos, there's always development. Take a look at where your kind resides in Lagos and tell me what you see.

flokii:
Yoruba leaders are playing with fire.. this is me being very honest.
Gone are the days of docility.. Local Government leadership should be strictly for indigenes, same as State Government. Opportunities abound for everybody at Federal level, but not LG or State level.

How many Yorubas are Vice Chairman in LGs in the East?.. your answer is none. So why should Igbos be holding offices meant for Yorubas in South West?

Yoruba ronu!

Those Igbo Vice Chairmen will be the ones revealing the secrets of every decision made at the Local Government executive meetings to their tribesmen in Lagos to take advantage of.

They will become a spy in the high echelon of Yoruba leadership, because of their ingrained hatr-ed and env y of the race.

Slytiger:
You don't vote APC. So they would not even bother to beg you minority ibos in Lagos to vote the..

Olodo. Maybe you just left secondary school and do not know that Oshodi/Isolo has produced Igbos as members of the house of reps. Olodo, you do not know that Desmond Elliot is not a Yoruba man like you. Olodo, you do not know that APC Ojo comprises of persons of all the tribes in Nigeria. Olodo, you do not know that for ages, all tribes have been represented appropriately with happiness in different positions in Lagos.

Do not be ashamed to mention the small village outside Lagos state where you come from. Lagosians in Ojo and all parts of Lagos are proud to belong. Tribalists and racists like you who pollute the state with your reckless talks are not needed.
