Guys click on that, that audio shows that there is more to the story. The Igbo leaders who responded after Obas statement even went on to crack jokes with the Oba . One was even saying I will not break my word, next thing they started shooting yes we will vote Ambode.

Does that sound like angry people

Oby was very correct. Its quite painful its becoming a tribal war. We expect a lot from our leaders but they keep disappointing us and turning us against each others. In the real sense we are all brothers and sisters.

Did those that attended the meeting actually clap?If yes,they are fools and a push over set of leaders and if no,the oba should be given 50 lashes of Koboko with hard labour to serve as a deterrent to other randy traditional rulers especially that Emir of Kano who always speaks with both sides of his mouth.

They are really blowing a mere joke out of proportion. I'm Igbo but the truth is the oba gave the joke out of Freudian slip. The press should stop playing into the hands of PDP opportunists.

Ambode will win with landslide victory even with or without your votes. The oba made the comment not Ambode, like you said PEJ made stoning statement but PEJ is the wife of GEJ.

Oba and Ambode are two different people not related by blood or marriage.

As for Joke Silva, she said the right thing. If the Ndigbos at the gathering didn't take it serious so what's the wahala all about?

The Oba was just angry at Igbos towards their attitude at the presidential and he's worried cos he want continuity in Lagos and it is only Ambode that can do that.
So who d hell is d king to dictate who d citizens are to vote for? He shud get it into his brain dat he is just one citizen of Nigeria just like every oda person. If he wants contiunity nd oda inhabitants don't want nko?
Rubbish!

Anyway, I stumbled on this and feel it's worth sharing. COPIED: Dear Lagosian, Yoruba are very decent and reasonable people.No tribe will entertain On their Land what is going on in Lagos. We all condemn the statement of OBA AKIOLU.But let us ask ourselves one important question,WHY IS OBA AKIOLU ANGRY WITH IGBOS? My answers are: (1), I will elevate Eze Ndigbo to the status of OBA AKIOLU of Lagos- jimi Agbaje. (2), igbo will determine who rules Lagos- Ifeanyi Ubah. (3), Lagos is no man's Land- Ifeanyi Ubah during Tan Campaign. (4), Igbo developed and controlled Lagos- Jimi Agbaje. (5), We must produce the next deputy Governor of Lagos- Eze Ndigbo. My Questions to IGBOS. (1) Can Obi of Onitsha accepts all the above mentioned? (2) can Emir if Kano accept...? (3) Do you have any single tribe in your Cabinet in the East? (4) Can any tribe claim Onitsha. or Aba to be No Man's Land? (5) Can Obi of Onitsha accept the elevation of Sarkin Hausa in Onitsha to Obi status? My conclusion: We have been living together as brothers and sisters. For years in peace,You must respect our Tradition and Institutions.Ifeanyi Ubah should stop Jumping around Lagos beating drums of War. God bless Yoruba,Hausa, and Igbo!!!!

Respected Nollywood actress,Joke Silva replied her, saying that means the Igbo leaders understood the context. In essence,they knew the OBA didn't mean those words to be taken as threats.

Oby then told her,there is no justification for those statements. What do you think?

Every sane person knows the statement was wrong.You cant come out and cry over the killings done by boko haram and then turn around to support genocide of a particular ethnic group, it simple puts you on the same level with them.

Has any of them even come out to cry over the killings done by BH? I've not heard any of the obas doing such.

We're all taking this matter too far thanks to PDP. My question to u OP is that who were those who clapped and laughed jokingly when the Oba made such statements?

It was clearly a joke gone bad. Even Pat Utomi confirmed it.
It just goes to show you can start up a fight between Nigerian tribes with very little sentiments

Watch the video again and see who is clapping and hailing the Oba.

This story is lingering ..he should just apologize.
