Who asked you for your foolish comment. Why not share this your foolish essay with Alex Otti.

You see what happens when you let some select people choose and install people on your behalf? They WILL NEVER represent you. That's what this Desmond Elliot story shows us once again. The Barakat lady replacing him too will only work as a stooge.

This is what happens when parents do everything for their children, they never learn how to withstand the world challenges or fight for things, their parents did everything for them. They don't know their worth.

After Bucknor and Pedro showed Tinubu shege, they started going for female deputy governors. The ones who will not fight them. This is not to put the women down but we all know how it went with those deputies who were female. That's what is going on in Lagos. You will never get your true representative because these people did not fight for the seats. Even if they tried to fight, the party they came in through only annointed them for guaranteed victory at the polls. Until you have someone who did all the work, earned it in the primary and elections, you will only have representatives of babasopecracy consensus. Fake democracy.

"There is nothing democratic in what is referred to as consensus"

Let me correct the writer who said
Former Governor Akinwunmi Ambode is today a member of the influential Governance Advisory Council (GAC), the highest decision-making body in Lagos APC, largely because he accepted defeat gracefully after losing the governorship primary to the party’s preferred candidate, Babajide Sanwo-Olu. Rather than defect or head to court, Ambode congratulated Sanwo-Olu and pledged loyalty to the party. Desmond Elliot should take a cue from that example.

Big fat lie. Ambode that called Sanwoolu mad and did worse than Elliot. Abeg talk another thing. They have arranged themsleves. Even Pedro is now an Ambassador but you see that WOMAN, Bucknor. She no gree for Bola. Again, know your worth and what you are fighting for.

Ambode gave a live broadcast after the defeat but don't forget that he didn't attend the handover ceremony, instead, he handed one day before May 29 at a private event. Also Ambode lost through the primaries, at least they allowed that to happen. Did you hear what Desmond said? "Even if I will lose, let me lose gallantly". He complained about intimidation of delegates so there is a difference in losing through indirect babasopecracy and direct vote. At least they pretended to vote for Ambode's own. The truth is that some people are at the background rigging the system. They don't want true votes. If it was consensus of the delegates, it is different but here there is compulsion, intimidation and threats to select one candidate. What a shame.

That she is from Badagry doesn't mean other Yorubas in Lagos State are not true Lagosians.. Lagos is made up of largely Awori, Egba, Ekitis, even some Ijebus. Badagry people are mostly Egun whom are not even indigenous to Nigeria, but settlers.

Please be guided and stop distorting the history of Lagos State.
What do you mean by settlers?

That will make Save, Cotonou and people of Ketu, "settlers" in republic of Benin, going by your assumptions.

Lagos indigenous people are:

Awori
Íjebu
Egun.

The rest are people who settled in Lagos much later.

Which national cake?

Total federal government revenue = $38billion

Total annual expenditure = $65 billion

Persistent unfundable deficit = -$27billion (roughly)

Population = 250 - 270 million people

Summary = extreme poverty

The national cake no exist bro! It’s a myth!!!

Go and ask your forefathers.. Egun people migrated into Lagos State from I think Cotonou or so.
The first settlers and bonafide land owners in Lagos are the Awori and Egba people. Anything outside that is revisionism.

You are entitled to your opinion. Baba sope will never end in Nigeiria politics. Just as Obi dragged Ojukwu to come and campaign for him for his second tenure because he knew then that people will not vote for him because of his abysmal performance. Politicians need influential and old players to win primaries.
You guys never cease to amaze me. What makes me sad is that the Yoruba allowes Tinubu to plant this kind of concept all in the name of politics. Truly, they say

b'ile ba n toro, omo ale be o ti dagba ni. It means, a peaceful home is a function of the inability of the bastard to act owing to age.
How you guys assume everyone who comments on what your principals do must mean they are from the SE needs to be studied. Just because you lost an election. Smh. I understand that's the mission they gave you guys to spread online but don't worry, one day, they will leave power. Nothing lasts forever.

It's because NL has been so poor you can think this. I want 1000 Anonimi like monikers so we can drown the less intellectual comments on our politics. Anonimi shows facts and figures, education is not that expensive, ignorance is. I don't want this databoys low level thinking that only know propaganda and abuse.

Look at ALL the people who so called fought and won under labour party in the last elections who did they represnt apart from the bellies? Many candidates are hand picked or given support during the primaries to boost their chances and that doesnt make it bad, what is most important is the character and competence of the person u are presenting or backing.

All Labour fighting for u candidate have fought for their bellies and joined apc.

If a Godfather hand picks a credible candidate i will support it fully. Thats how we got fashola who is still the best governor of lagos sofar.

APC will have to work really hard to retain Lagos... Funsho Doherty is currently the man to beat in Lagos

The street isn't smiling at all plus it seems SanwoOlu's government is now on autopilot, just rolling without gathering dust... Government officials are currently on the street penalising companies for not filing tax returns, even when they themselves will tell you they don't understand the tax law

I just pray God protects Mr. Funsho

More to your own correction too Badagry are mostly Awori and they immigrated from Ile ife in osun state while other aworis does too. those are the real lagosian why the egun are settlers…

Outsider as in he has never been a member of APC? That's true

Thing is, aside Agege, where APC has a very stronghold due to Obasa's impact, I can't mention any other area where APC can be assured of winning "hands down"... Don't really know of Ikorodu axis

In all, may God keep up alive and healthy to witness it all and give us good leaders, Amen
