Oba Akiolu spoke out of line for a king. A noble mind should address issues with wisdom. However, one can sense his desperation in these sensitive times, and no king of any kingdom (even the Igbo kings) wouldn't have done likewise or even worse.

Yorubas have an adage that says awolumate o mowon ara re meaning a stranger who doesn't enter into trouble in a strange land, knows and respects his bounds. This is why you'll never hear of yorubas defiance in another land.

I am if the opinion that the Igbo should thread very carefully, no matter what you say, Lagos is the Yoruba's - and if things get too heated up we will know who owns the land. Yoruba have been tagged the most cowardly in Nigeria, this isn't true when war finally starts. You can ask the hausas in sagamu what happened in 1999.

Even jimi agbaje needs to watch it dearly not to be exiled.

I truly and sincerely remain confused.
First I think the words of the Oba was blown out of proportion by media.
I have repeatedly condemned any igbo man for seeking any political office in the SW.
But what I cannot not relate with is why I citizen of a country should be told whom or where to vote forcefully?
If a candidate spoke to your issues why will you not vote him.
Most of my yoruba friends are voting agbaje while some of my igbo friends are voting Ambode. Both are bore out of what they stand to gain from both administration nothing more nothing less.
How this became an igbo and yoruba thing if really silly. Now it has preyed into the hands of the media who will escalate the mess to a whole new height.

My brother, every of your statements are very logical. But this is Nigeria. Our strongest opposition weapons are tribe and religion. Honestly, if everyone thinks like you, we would have lesser problems. All I'm just saying is that when issues have gotten to tribal sentiments level, each tribe should know their bounds. The igbos regarding Lagos as no man's land is a terrible insult on the royalty of Lagos. This is what yorubas will never do in Anambra or Abia

I will still vote APC..........Lagos State and Nigeria must rise beyond PDP.

Akinwunmi Chukwuma Ambode is the next Governor

Is Jimi Abgaje an Igbo man?

I wonder o...! See as una de hate una own just because of the Igbos. Waitin concern Jimi Agbaji and Igbos? Chai! Bitterness is a poison.

one thing the Yorubas( nndi ofe mmanu, origo kwanu and atiti specialist) forgot is that who ever wins doesn't take away a penny from an Igbo man's pockets.

The simple question is why do the Yoruba and Hausa still keeping Igbos in Nigeria? Why can't they let Igbos go since it's obvious you lot hated them with passion?

soe:
I wonder how the igbos think they are up to 10% of lagosians

If the igbos are less than 10% of d population of lagos then u should not be worried. But we all know that's not the case.

Igbo, Delta Candidates Spring Surprise in Lagos, Win Three House Seats


http://www.thisdaylive.com/articles/igbo-delta-candidates-spring-surprise-in-lagos-win-three-house-seats/205644/

Igbo did not spring surprise at all in those area cos if i leave in that area i wouldn't have a choice than to vote PDP candidate. APC representative in HOR in those area are not doing up to expectations . If PDP have present any other tribe they would win convincely in those area, i said all this because my work place is there and i know what they are passing through.

saxywale:
Nooo....Agbaje WAS a good man, till he started playing tribal politics and he has friends like obanikoro, ffk, tewonde bode george e.t.c we don't want them to turn Lagos treasury to PDP ATM.
I don't like Tinubu as he is greedy as well but I will surely pick Tinubu and his candidate over those clowns.

example of agbaje playing tribal politics?

All I will say is let Igbos vote JK and all Yorubas, Benins and Hausas vote Ambode and see who will win! Shikena!

minifuworld:
this is how igbo carry waitin no concern them put for head. Jonathan is frm ss thay carry am for head n they lost out n they did not learn thr lesson now then don carry agbaje for head let see wot will happen

yes I totally agree with you

after GEJ lost I told friends to vote for APC in Lagos.

after the Oba spoke those words I can't tell them to vote for APC again.
PDP win or loss let see how many Igbos he will kill.
