Not really a lot of factors contributed to obi's victory in lagos...... Obi won 12 states and apart from Nassarawa, all the 12 states are Christian states including Abuja.... Even nassarawa sef have a high Christian population.... And some of us voted because we don't want a Muslim-Muslim ticket.... But as tinubu said, he had no choice.... Atiku would have won, if he picked any other candidate...

Even Jonathan in 2015 did well in lagos than obi....
D issue tinubu have now is with Atiku and not even obi.... As Atiku will inherit late buhari's vote....
Atiku would have won, if he picked any other candidate...

Kindly elaborate. How do you mean?

Every sensible Nigerian knows that the Igbos are most populous ethnic group in Nigeria. There's no state in Nigeria that the Igbos don't make up to at least 20% of the population. In some cases, after the indigenous ethnic group, comes the Igbos. If you like hate them all you care, dem no send your papa

Very ignorant statement, even the Ibos won't say this. This is how politicians divide and conquer.

How do you fight them when you are busy fighting yourselves?

Obi won Lagos because the youths irrespective of tribe aligned with him.

It's simple.
A very divisive assertion indeed. Quote me, this statement would be used against Igbos. The Ronus will claim it was Igbos that made that statement. History has it that a former governor of Lagos state, Lateef Jakande, was allegedly the first to make the statement LAGOS IS NO MAN'S LAND, but the blood-thirsty, parochial, narrow-minded, ethnocentric and igbophobic Ronus used the statement to haunt and persecute Igbos in a land where arguably, they have contributed more than any other.

YORUBAS are just about 25% of people living in Lagos the rest are immigrants. Coming to your point, they are very foolish. Baba Ayo Adebanjo carried the battle of OBI IBO Presidency as the battle of his lifetime and he died for that battle. Baba Fasoranti is still alive today to the glory of God. It was Dr Doyin Okupe that brought the case of OBI and IBO Presidency to Baba Ayo Adebanjo. It is spiritual that both died almost the same period and never witnessed Tinubu's Second Year in power.
Actually Yoruba are more than 25% in all... I think those people you mentioned actually trying to unite what can't be unite, because if you are trying to prove to people that have already label your tribe Traitor and all sort of bad name at the end even of if you actually prove to them that you are not they will still say you sell your tribe to prove nonsense ..... there is a section in this country no matter how Yoruba try to make them fill at home and all they will still talk down on Yoruba at large .... the reason why I say Yoruba are more than that have check statistic of people in Ikorodu, Alimosho and co to mentioned few thats aside

Who are the people promoting the statement here on Nairaland of not the Igbo. They have opened several thread this morning claiming they are the largest ethnic group in Nigeria.

Yes, we will use this statement against them in 2027

That's not true. The Yorubas are by far more.
But why are Yorubas panicking on anything about the Igbos, A mere olden days saying that Lagos is no man's land because of its metropolitan nature not because of multiple ownership, they have turned it into a daily tribal fight here and there.
One has to go on Facebook abi Twitter to claim Lagos was not the capital just to refute that fact. Tell me where is present day Lagos Island? In Kebbi state? It is irrefutable to say Lagos was not the Capital of Nigeria for 77 years, if you like delineate the whole of Lagos to pieces just to deny that fact. That Marina and its environ was the headquarters does not mean it was just only the FCT. Why was third mainland bridge built across the mainland? Why was the National stadium built in Surulere?. why was Nigeria's main international airport built at Ikeja, etc Una de play.
Lagos Island was to Lagos as capital what Aso Rock villa is to FCT Abuja now. So is it right to say the ASO rock is just the FCT and not the whole of Abuja? Reason am
Your last line is the most incompatible analogy ever used in the history of mankind. It would've made sense if people were saying Dodan Baracks was the only part of Lagos that was the capital of Nigeria. What people were saying was that only a part of Lagos (the Island) was the FCT, which was true. The remaining part was under the Western Region originally, and then Lagos State later. I don't know how something as logical as this is giving you guys problems. Abuja was carved out as FCT. It is not within any state. It's like if Lesotho were developed, and someone opined that South Africa was developed due to Lesotho being located within it.

Every Nigerian youth regardless of tribe voted for Peter Obi in Lagos, Abuja, PHC and the media covered and captured the moods during live shows.

Obidients have no tribe.

grin have you also called other Yoruba state aside Lagos no man’s land? The reason why you are now getting the treatment you getting in Lagos is due to your ill behaviour, you come to Lagos in search of greener pastures but left that to meddle in the affairs of the Yorubas and start by being antagonistic to whatever the govt do, and also label the land and people that accommodate you will all manner of derogatory names and to top it all, your entitlement mentality. Things you can’t tolerate in your region is what you want to enjoy in yorubaland, but we are wiser now and 2027 will be a different ball game, btw proudly lagos grin

Brother, you don't seem to know what happened. I don't have time now. Did you see any of the two documentaries the IBOS made on Lagos before the 2023 elections? Though in the documentary 25% is not mentioned but the Yoruba group abroad that released GRV BioData which I posted on nairaland when I was using my personal account babaolofin carried out estimated analysis of YORUBAS with electoral value in Lagos and those living in Lagos and came to the conclusion of estimated 25%. Alimosho which you mentioned have changed. From Isolo, Okota, Jakande, Igando to LASU. Okota, Festac, Mile 2 to LASU. From that Axis up to Agbara. Most of the areas you are thinking like Yaba, Surulere, Ebute Metta, Ijora (Ilorin people are decreasing), Ajegunle to Orile have been captured / penetrated by immigrants. Some that speak Yoruba are not YORUBAS they have biased to their ethnic group but faking alliance to YORUBAs .

If they tell you what is happening at Ikoyi now you will be surprised.

It is the fear of Area Boys during Local Government election and the last governorship election that made local people more visible at polls than immigrants.

Senator Alimodu Sheriff is 100% correct. What YORUBAS don't know is that as the IBOS elites carried out documentaries on Lagos, the NORTH though, quiet, knows more about what happens in South West. It is YORUBAS that don't think and have no United front for a regional intelligence gathering and purpose. What Pa Ayo Adebanjo and Dr Doyin Okupe did, no tribe in Nigeria can do that and that is why they left at the same period.

The Oba of Lagos, a Retired AIG with wide experience about Nigeria, in 2015 called the IBO Chiefs in Lagos and demanded that they MUST support APC to win Lagos governorship election. The OBA knows with the population of IBOS in Lagos without area boys influence, IBOS can influence the election result with their population.

Obi won in 12 states. Does that also mean there are more Igbos than the locals in all these states?

Very good question, Obi's victory in other states can be explained. Abuja, nassarawa, Plateau, Benue, Taraba, adamawa , kaduna voted obi massively, this is the middle belt zone.

But Ekiti, Ondo, Ogun, Oyo, kwara, osun did not vote Obi , Obi scored very low and all of a sudden won Lagos. Looking at the 2 results sets , middle belt votes was evident in all middle belt states but that can't be said about south west, Obi's electoral votes in southwest was only on Lagos, Lagos is no man's land
