Sorry I quoted you by mistake!

adebisicutie:
Is this nervous talking too? huh

The Igbo leader asked his colleagues, “By Saturday, all of us are going to vote whooooo?” They chorused, “Ambode!”
“Ehen! And we tried. Even when we were trying for the national… Kabiyesi you can see this paper, this is the rally we did. This is the rally we did, commissioner can testify.
“So we are telling you that coming Saturday we are going to show you the way it used to be.
“And why we’ve come here today sir, Kabiyesi, is to come and congratulate and thank you for being our father in Lagos. We don’t need to talk much because after Saturday, Sunday we come for party before you do handover.”
The Igbo leaders then broke into a victory song, “Winner oooo winner oooo…”

No the chiefs were also laughing and even making promises. That's what was said below, the audio for the part after the Oba finished his speech is out and one of the chiefs was replying and that's what was said :

“If you do what I want, Lagos will continue to be prosper for you. If you go against it, you will perish in the water. Finish.”
The audience responded with chants of “Kabiyesi o.”
When it was time for the Igbo leaders to respond to the Oba, there was uproarious laughter in the room.
Gordion Ojiako, the spokesperson of the Eze Ndi Igbos in Lagos, promised Mr. Akiolu that they would vote massively for the APC during Saturday’s gubernatorial election.
“Kabiyesi, we are promising you. Why we came all of us is for you to see our faces. If we say we don’t want (on) Saturday…we can’t come here,” Mr. Ojiako, the Eze Ndi Igbo in Amuwo Oriade, said.
The Igbo leader asked his colleagues, “By Saturday, all of us are going to vote whooooo?”
They chorused, “Ambode!”
“Ehen! And we tried. Even when we were trying for the national… Kabiyesi you can see this paper, this is the rally we did. This is the rally we did, commissioner can testify.
“So we are telling you that coming Saturday we are going to show you the way it used to be.
“And why we’ve come here today sir, Kabiyesi, is to come and congratulate and thank you for being our father in Lagos. We don’t need to talk much because after Saturday, Sunday we come for party before you do handover.”
The Igbo leaders then broke into a victory song, “Winner oooo winner oooo…”
The Oba joked that Mr. Ojiako should come to Sunday’s victory party with his “young daughter”.
There was more laughter in the room.
The monarch’s speech came under severe criticism with Nigerians lambasting him for his utterance.
Human rights lawyer, Femi Falana, told him to apologise to the Igbo people in Lagos “without delay”.
Hahahahahahahaha. The more you try to twist it, the more it tangles.

Show me the video evidence of what the Eze said and not an ekitigate home video tape.

Femi Falana is my hero here; he told Oba the naked truth.

Arthur Eze said worse than what you quoted, and nobody asked him to apologize.

On Wednesday the 13th of November, 2013 at the PDP governorship campaign, Arthur Eze, a chieftain of the party made the following statement about the APC's candidate, Christ Ngige, " That short man called Ngige, we gave him power and he went and joined Awolowo's people; the people that killed the Igbos"
The Igbo must accept guilt too. It is from there that genuine healing should start.

Nervous laughter ko purging laughter ni!

Digging out even an encyclopedia won't save you from this!

Collynzo9:
Nervous laughter is laughter evoked from an audience's expression of embarrassment, alarm, discomfort or confusion, rather than amusement.
Nervous laughter is a physical reaction to stress, tension, confusion, or anxiety. Neuroscientist Vilayanur S. Ramachandran states "We have nervous laughter because we want to make ourselves think what horrible thing we encountered isn't really as horrible as it appears, something we want to believe."
People laugh when they need to project dignity and control during times of stress and anxiety. In these situations, people usually laugh in a subconscious attempt to reduce stress and calm down

Clearly those men did not feel intimidated or threatened , they were even laughing and joking with the Oba and I won't be suprised if they had met with him before. For that chief to even go ahead and promise his word and then the singing of winner o.

Igbos asks your leaders to say the truth.

That was clearly a meeting between colleagues who were laughing and joking
