Why ibo people can't go and develop their state? Must they go Develop Ghana or Lagos?
Haha?? I don't understand??!??

mycar:
To me this man has not committed any offence, if arrogating a title is a crime, why are they not arresting all the self acclaimed president of this and that?
Ever Tinubu lost election in Lagos, there have been some form of uneasiness and persecutions going on in Lagos state.
This type of action can only bring retrogression. Free the people and stop setting up a precedent that may come to hunt you in future as what comes around , goes around.

Being a chief is regulated and parading yourself as one without appropriate approval is a crime

Allow those who were "scammed" with passports and Bia.... to do their wailing by themselves nauu. Why are you wailing more than the bereaved as usual? Abi, is it your scam!? You guys are becoming very boring with all these anti igbo diatribes dressed as anti Biafra/IPOB/ESN opinions. Say something new for once.

No igbo is complaining of Ojukwu running away to Ivory Coast. We liked him like that. Tinubu once ran away to America and London during the Abacha/NADECO days. Ditto Soyinka, Fayemi and co. Mock them and allow us to mock our own if we see a need to. Stop trying to position the discuss in a way that you can willfully herd the gullible into a pro establishment pattern of thought/narratives. Dey your dey, make we dey our dey....

Like we all know, someones freedom fi-ghter is anothers te-rr-o-rist. NADECO once hyjacked a plane during the Abacha days, and your principal Tilimgbu was a member then! Today he is the one throwing te-rro-ist tags around like confetti. No one is surprised. Those who depend on government for basic things and survival, will always do anything to get and hold on to power. Do allow the igbos the oppurtuinity to choose who is their freedom fi-gh-ter or who is a te-rr-orist to them, the way they uave allowed you to do..

Thank you!

Yorubas are Igbos enemy from the onset. During 2023 election, they unleashed the hatred in full force.
We are not bothered though.
Obi of lagos whatever is not my problem.
In the next 20years to come, we shall buy half of lagos land.

I think this act of migrating to other people's land and to start forming Obi, King, Oba, Emir of whatever should be criminalised and made punishable. People can be allowed to form associations and have leaders and delegates but not kings, Obis or Emirs.

UPDATE ON ARREST OF SELF-ACCLAIMED “OBI OF LAGOS” ALONG WITH THREE OTHER SUSPECTS



https://x.com/LagosPoliceNG/status/1966269329055608911

Ever since social media came, fake life and scamming became an occupation

gidgiddy:
The Nigerian Police can be a disgrace. Where is the crime the man commited?

This is truly disgraceful

Intent to fraud is a crime.

Further findings revealed that the planned unveiling of the “Obi of Lagos Palace” was fraudulently designed as a ploy to swindle unsuspecting personalities and other Nigerians of their hard-earned money under the guise of the “…unveiling of the prototype of a ₦1.5 BILLION PALACE of Obi of Lagos State.”

The guy see opportunity and wanted to exploit the opportunity for his own greed. Make government forgive am. He will go and do no more.

ILLEGAL AND UNCONSTITUTIONAL ARREST




NIGERIA IS NOT A MONARCH




IT IS NOT ILLEGAL TO ANSWER TRADTIONAL TITLE OF YOUR PEOPLE FOR SOCIAL CULTURAL COMMUNITY EVENTS

Those guys were sponsored by Lagos APC.
It's part of what they are packaging to use to campaign as election is approaching.

SOMEONE EVEN SAID APC ARE FUNDING THIS BECAUSE OF ELECTION

owobokiri:
There is an agenda to use federal power in intimidating Easterners out of Lagos through an ine-briated Sanwo Olu. They can't compete so they want to stampede folks out of lagos so they can enjoy another round of "abandoned property". How they think that this will work beats me. But they need to be exposed and stopped because they are damaging lives and properties with their wild goose chase. These are ethnic supremacists parading around as emergency patriots in Lagos government houses and at Aso Rock. The same set of people that fought for "One Nigeria" should not be allowed to turn around and be acting like they don't like all that comes with One Nigeria. You can't eat your kiriji cake and still have it

na by force to die in Ragos?
Go back home

2. Investigation so far revealed that the principal suspect, Engr. Chibuike Azubike, later confessed to the Police that he is not a qualified engineer but merely a supplier of construction materials to construction companies, which formed the basis upon which he has been parading himself as an engineer.

3. Further findings revealed that the planned unveiling of the “Obi of Lagos Palace” was fraudulently designed as a ploy to swindle unsuspecting personalities and other Nigerians of their hard-earned money under the guise of the “…unveiling of the prototype of a ₦1.5 BILLION PALACE of Obi of Lagos State.”

I knew it..

If you must scam, go to your country home and establish your scam now

mycar:
Swindle who, by organizing a cultural show or what?
yes, putting an Engr to his name is wrong but was there any petition from Nigeria society of engineers?
This action is something that police should ordinarily put out a public notice of restriction on use of traditional title and let them go.
killing a mosquito with a sledge harmer I must call it and yes, it's more political than a mere use of unlicensed title.

Police don't need petition to arrest a suspect.
Please download police act

He was unveiling a "prototype". He wasn't even unveiling a finished product. How is it possible to swindle people based on a prototype? Was he charging money for people to come and view a prototype? What the Police said there makes no sense

THEY HAVE COMMITTED ANOTHER ILLEGAL ARREST JUST LIKE KANU.



U CANNOTACCUSE SOMEONE OF NICKNAMING HIMSELF AND THEN ARREST HIM.




IF I LIKE NOW, I CAN EVEN NICKNAME MYSELF ASIWAJU OF LAGOS.

gidgiddy:
The Nigerian Police can be a disgrace. Where is the crime the man commited? You just said he acted alone, what was he crime? That he called himself 'Obi of Lagos'? That he called himself an Engineer? That he announced the unveiling of a "prototype palace"?

Did he scam anyone? Did he take one Naira from anyone? Is it that the Nigerian Police does not know the meaning of prototype? Did he act in any capacity as the King of Lagos?

So the Nigerian Police just goes about arresting people based on what they call themselves?

This is truly disgraceful

if you have the audacity to ask for 1.5billion naira to fund a palace in someone else city, is that not another way to declare war? Can a Yoruba try this in the east? Can you try this in Kano and the indigenes won't lynch you. Haba, why are you supporting rubbish? He as a person, can he try that in ANAMBRA and you won't attack him ? Base on the fact that he is not from Royal blood. You are the ones looking for trouble and still claiming victim.

He and his cohorts should be called what they are, miscreants. These are the people cause problems for proper igbo people all over the world.

IF NIGERIA JUDICIARY WORK WELL




THEY WILL PAY HIM COMPENSATION FOR ILLEGAL ARREST.



L;IKE SOMONE SAID, EVERY ELECTION TINUBU MUST START TRIBAL WAR IN LAGOS AND ALL THIS IS SET UP AND ORGANISED.




EVERYNODY PAID TO ACT.

jaxxy:
For 1 I don't think anybody can wake up and start to build or propose to build a Palace anywhere in Nigeria without proper approval. A Palace is not an ordinary house. it carries public sentiments and influence.

Talkless of building a Palace in another man's land. Can he go to any state in the south east which isn't his state and say he wants to build a Palace?

These are crimes or various levels committed here not just 1 crime. Soon he will say he is a content creator.

I am very sure you are either Yoruba or APC. With due respect to my sane Yoruba friends, the exposure that comes with this internet is regrettable and funny at the same time. It has exposed how small minded most of you are. Kemi is aspiring to be a prime minister in UK while attacking Nigeria. No one has called the Yorubas out. Some foreigners win elections in western world simply because the area is dominated by foreigners and we haven't seen whites crying. Why can't you focus on keeping up instead of this self defeat. You bow down to mere men and call it respect and you think those who do not do same lack respect. In my work place, we call our CEO by his first name or at most we add Mr. Igbos form association anywhere they find themselves and they use it to organize cultural shows, help each other during trying times. This is not happening only in Lagos but all over the world. Even in University days, we had local government meetings every Wednesday afternoon to build a community under a tenured president. We have Eze Igbo in Texas and people don't even give a Bleep. Some Hausa/Fulani do this. In major markets like Ama Hausa in Owerri, they have their leader and no Igbo cares about the title they give themselves or who they vote for during elections. If we start arresting people by what name they bear, 1/10th of Nigerians might be in jail. Unless their is a petition by NSE on the use of Engr title or he signs official engineering documents off, then there is no crime under our laws that I know of. No one will arrest you if you start answering doctor but you will be arrested if you start treating patients as a fake doctor. Traditional leaders do not have binding powers in Nigeria but only to safe guard the culture of those that subscribe to such. Same with religious leaders. The self acclaimed Igbo king can't order Yorubas to stop eating in Lagos, they can't even order Igbos in Lagos to do things. Why is the police wasting energy on this if they're not political? Igbos have halls in Lagos and they rent it out for events and also use it for meetings. How does this affect an ordinary Igbo in Lagos, let alone Yorubas? I can invite friends to donate to my house building just as friends form committee for wedding donations. It is not mandatory. This will amount to a crime if they have an organization and mandate members to pay or donate and theirs a lead by the people in the organization that he plans to run with the money. Don't expect everyone to behave like your tribe as you are not the standard. Under Tinubu, Lagos gets 3.5 Trillion from our national treasury for development and you defend it that it's our cosmopolitan state and commercial hub of Nigeria. Then you turn around that the same Lagos developed by our collective cash must bow to a certain man who is not even from Lagos. How low could a people go?

This one is now making up stories. Who did he ask for 1.5 billion. Have you ever heard that people will be funding the building of a palace for another person?

A prototype simply means that he wanted to show people a mini-structure of a palace he would like to build for himself. What's the crime there?

Nobody is going to ask people for money to build a personal palace. But even if you ask people for money to build a personal palace, and they give it to you, it still isn't a scam

I dont see the false pretence the police is using to allege that the man wanted to scam people. He wanted to scam people by asking them for money to build a palace? Thats laughable to me

Fraud is forever in their DNA. We know them. They'll never change.

Na Igbos be Igbos Problem, I Can Tell You That Some Group of Igbos Must Have Conspire With Yorubas To Mess The Man Up With Police

Where is your shame. You probably left in on Onitsha bridge.
Swindling people under any guise is a crime.
Attempt to disrupt peace is a crime
Impersonation is a crime.

But no worries, I know many illegal things looks legal to you guys.

You people have turned politicizing and ethnicizing every government action into a habit, just to score cheap political points. It’s always the same region crying foul at every move of authority. When Sujimoto had issues with the Enugu State government and EFCC declared him wanted, nobody from the Yoruba side shouted persecution. You keep having these issues with constituted authority abd your host wherever you go.

You really need to do better. This constant whining makes you look weak and exposes you as people who have little regard for constituted authority or the traditions of your host.
