As an 100% original igbo boy,I totally disagree with the Oba of Lagos even though he has apologised.I got no respect again for him...bt reason along with me-
What is the principal interest of the Igbos in Lagos? What do we seek to achieve in our sojourn here? My
take is simple. We seek a prosperous Lagos that is economically viable, peaceful....a mini Nigeria of sorts
where all people are able to live and pursue their livelihood without let or hinderance. As a people that thrive
on commerce, Igbos want a Lagos where there are government policies that promote the growth of
commerce and business. A Lagos where government builds roads, bridges, hospitals and is generally alive
to their duties. Education is free in Lagos and our children enjoy this. No Igbo child has been sent away
from any public school in Lagos. Lagos state government pays WAEC and NECO fees for all students in
Lagos....our children enjoy this too.
What do we really want in Lagos? The truth is that we are strangers here. Lagos belongs to some people,
just like Onitsha and Aba. Let's not carry on as if this place is a no man's land. It is not. All of a sudden,
Jimi Agbaje has become an Igboman....we have adopted him as our son.....the same way we adopted
President Jonathan in the last election against our strategic interest as a people...a decision that has left us
in serious political confusion and our senators begging to be admitted into the APC.
What is the difference between Jimi Agbaje and Akinwumi Ambode? Is any of them Igbo? What is our
problem? I believe that we have a fair share here. We live in peace unlike our people in the North. I don't
think there are more Igbos in Lagos than there are in Kano, yet we live peacefully here. Yorubas are highly
politically sophisticated people and they understand that it us better for them to have a government in
Lagos that belongs to the same party as the party at the centre. Igbos cannot love Lagos more than
Yorubas. This is their land. If anything happens here now, we will all leave and return home. These people
own here...this is their home and we must respect their feelings. Every person living in Lagos wants more
federal presence in Lagos. We want a 4th mainland bridge, we want so many other things that the federal
government can do. In the years past, Lagos hasn't enjoyed much federal intervention because of political
party differences. Now they have that chance and we want to spoil it for them by being more catholic than
the pope. Let everybody vote any candidate he wants but I reject any collective Igbo move to vote against
the strategic interests of the people who own the land where we live and make our living. Lagos has been
good to our people. We have succeeded here in business and the professions.
Let's not disrespect the people of Lagos. I will not support any move that will create an impression that
Igbos are against the interest of the owners of Lagos. Nobody has murdered our people here like what we
see in the north. Lagos remains the only state in this country where Igbos hold top government positions.
Even our neighbors and brothers, Rivers State have never given us that privilege despite our huge
population and presence there. As for me, I want Lagos to progress and on Saturday, I will proudly vote for
Akinwumi Ambode.

I think the Igbos should respect their host, and try and do what will bring peace and peaceful co-existence. No one will go to Aba or Onitsha and try to claim relevance or drag rights with the true indigenes of those areas. Lagos belongs to the Yoruba's, like it or not.

tell me what igbos done to oba?.is oba one to tell us who to vote in Nigeria? .if want igbos vote he can bargain for it. voting is a civic right no one dictate for fellow citizen.

Texcoco:
As far as we are concerned there is no such thing as Eze ndigbo Lagos because every igboman is a king unto himself therefore we disregard this 'handwashing'....Come weekend igbos will troop out in their hundreds of thousands with their life jackets to exercise their franchise as Nigerians living in Lagos,Nigeria ...Gaddem that Oba.

I totally agree. Is he trying to threaten us. Let the igbos show him dat we are not endangered species in nigeria because we choose to remain silent and live in peace

If you like vote handbody,that is your cup of tea, oba cannot force any igbo to vote his candidate. Simple

Ur right. The oba should ve been more persuasive

No. They should not be calm. They should turn Jimi to Ikechukwu overnight.

@franciskaine. You have said it all.

The statement of Kabiyesi is highly regrettable just, as the stool is highly reverred. I will appeal to all to bury the hatchet and give peace a chance. We should rise above petty tribalism by all means. This further justifies the age-long call for a sovereign national conference where our togethernes will be put in the right perspective. We all have a stake in Nigeria, and together, we are stronger. God bless Nigeria.
Vote according to your conscience. For me, #Ihave decided....APC all the way....But that doesn't make you my enemy if you choose PDP...one love!

Cashio:
so unfortunate other tribes hardly strive for long in igboland..even igbos find it difficult..sha we know our way.

Don't mind these igbos. Am currently serving in Abia, ur not far from the truth. Now I know why igbos run from their states to other peoples states.

geccibede:

My dear, as a Nigerian nobody should force any candidate on you. Rather you find meaningful ways to convince dem to vote for apc..

That's what I am trying to say. The oba goofed.

geccibede:

Respect their host how, what did d igbos do to disrespect dia host.. u cant change d fact dat Lagos is cosmopolitan city, built by Igbos, Hausas, and Yoroubas and d whole nigeria as a whole. If nigeria is truely one nigeria, we should be free anywhere we find ourselves. You can go to Aba or onitsha if u have d will and want to do anything no one will stop you cos ure yorouba.

Story story. Why lagos? Try it somewhere else den.

The guy even have a palace in lagos!!no be im fault anyway...ao many yoruba get palace for east..na small e remain..ibo o ni pe e te

Wherever the Igbos have a large population, they elect a king who will be the supreme representative of the lgbos in that area.
The kingship comes with all the perks of the normal lgbo monarchy- a palace, cabinet, regalia, authority etc.
There are lgbo kings in other parts of the country like kano, kaduna etc

For example in niger delta because shell and other companies have built so many facilites there does it mean the oil and land are a property of netherlands?

Even at that the real gees like dangote, adenuga that has so many investments in lagos not for once would u here hausa ppl say anything....


na ppl wey dey sell gala dey make noise or second hand goods. that are trash from europe and us

You have spoken well.

Wetin this Eze dey smoke self?

Lawprince:


Respectfully, We Igbos have always overrated our significance in Nigeria. Since the existence of this country, our stubbornness have always made us the best looser. We haven't taken a lesson from Biafra, or the fact that we largely assisted in relegating PDP to a regional party, or the fact that our "myopic thinking" (in the words of Rochas) have cost us the seats of the Senate Presidency and House of Rep Speaker.
But we gladly take a worthless pride in our stupidity. NdiIgbos really need to look inwards and cast the demon misdirecting us away.

God bless u for this. Their stubborness brought down GEJ. I don't know what is wrong with them, Ojukwu did d same thing during the Civil War and still they haven't learn their lesson. With all their brilliancy and intelligence. Instead of them to bring themselves down and do away with pride which leads someone to nowhere but destruction.

Imagin igbo have a king who have his own palace in lagos.lol.they can neva entertain such in their own land.oga Oº°˚˚˚°º

Akinwunmi Ambode,the prime politician.A veritable template of continuance democracy.A man who has deccusate all strata of civil service treasury.Here's a man who has been part of the new Lagos,every step of the way.
Lagos has witnessed tremendous transformation in 16 yrs! Consistency and consolidation has contributed immensely to this.Thus,the lagos of our dream needs a continuity of delivery of set standards & ideologies.
Fellow lagosians,the power of continuity rest in your hands. As you exercise your franchise on saturday,vote Akinwunmi Ambode; the best man for the job.
Remember,We are what we repeatedly do.Excellence,then,is not an act,but a Habit.
Vote APC!!! Vote Continuity!!!

In other words ,the igbos should sheepishly follow whoever the Oba of lagos follows...why didnt the Oba and other Lagosians threaten Gani Adams and Fasheun who are leaders of the oodua peoples congress for supporting Jonathan This is indeed a tribalistic nation and no hashtags can cover that up. Our democracy still has a long way to go.
