Please tell me which time an Igbo boy was made governor of Lagos state? And as for the scholarship, we all know that it is usually the educational institution or organisation that organizes such competitions that sends the student for scholarship. Get your facts right mr man.

Lilian Oguefi - 2012 one day governor
Abundance Ikechukwu - 2006

There are still 2 more Ibos or so, and point of correction, it was Lagos state and not ANY ORGANIZATION that sent that Anambra boy to Switzerland. Pls kindly give one example of your own

OBA AKIOLU ....THE OBA OF LAGOS.

Yoruba's having been quoting me since and spewing trash!! You guys are all hypocrites. That was how a Yoruba Oba Raped An Igbo Youth Corper and people were insulting him..this same yoruba people where shout then that we should respect d royal throne and mind how we talk, now another #mumu oba has said another one and they still want us to keep quiet.. NO WAY!!!!!!

ANY MAN WHO BRINGS AN ANT INFESTED WOOD INTO HIS HOUSE SHOULD BE READY TO HAVE LIZARDS AS VISITOR'S.



Please can you name one Non-idigine that has tried to contest for position in Igbo land but the Igbo's refused, please just give me one, plss naaa!!!!!!
And also show me where and when has any non-indigine been oppressed in Igbo land..
You guys should stop spreading lies!!!!!!!!! ENVY is your problem...

Don't mind the hypocrite,democracy is a game of numbers Igbos won house of Rep in Lagos because they have the number,in fact, some Yorubas voted for them,if you thinks that you can win in Onitsha go and contest.Stop coming here to twist history,ethnicity was first brought into Nigerian politics by Yorubas in 1953 when ZIK won the western region house of Assembly but was chased out by Awolowo and co which made him to go home and chased the Calabar man that occupied eastern house of Assembly

Give this guy a break for Pete's sake. Am not saying what he said was right.....i consider it as an absolutely ridiculous statement coming from a person of high position in the Yoruba community
But all the same, an Oba is an Oba, treat him like one even if he doesn't deserve it.
........just saying

.... Give this guy a break for Pete's sake.. '' Wait a minute'' something is missing here (God's sake) was joking shaa

They already did that in Calabar 1968 Alabi-Isama, Alani Akinrinnade and Black Scorpion Adekunle, flogged them

They are yet to recover from the trauma and has succeed in passing it on to this new generation Ibos.

What's about to befall them in Lagos will leave most of these noise-making chest-beaters with only one option- suicide by jumping into the Lagoon.
Just one psychological bomb from Oba Akiolu and most of them are walking corpse already.

The Igbos’ Wrong Political Calculation
Rasheed Abolade
— Apr 9, 2015 | 2 Comments
All efforts by men of vision and foresight to dissuade Igbos from falling into the traps of political miscalculation and making valid judgments based on research overwhelming facts on the personalities involved in the presidential and National Assembly elections proved abortive.

The popular sayings that “he who points a finger to another person has the remaining nine pointed at him” typically captures the case of the Ndigbos in Nigeria today.

The likes of Governor Rochas Okorocha, Chief Ogbonaya Onu, Chris Ngige and other few Igbos warn the kinsmen not to put all their eggs in one basket but all these warnings seemed irrelevant to them.

Instead of aligning themselves with and heeding the calls of these great men, they rather rebuke them and accuse them of betrayal of the Igbo agenda by associating themselves with the Northerners or what they initially called the Yoruba party, (referring to the All Progressives Congress, APC).

The anti-Hausa-Fulani and anti-Yoruba sentiments were taken rather too far as the (Igbos) forgot their own traditional party, the All Progressives Grand Alliance, (APGA), all because they wanted Jonathan by every means. This was done not necessarily because Jonathan is an Igbo man (which of course is not) but because
they loathe the emergence a Hausa-Fulani man of a Northern extraction. The voting pattern therefore reflects a vote against General Muhammadu Buhari more than a vote for President Goodluck Jonathan.

Consequently, either by people’s will or by political gerrymandering, all the available senatorial seats and House of Representatives positions were clinched by the now minority party (the Peoples’ Democratic Party, PDP), leaving neither the APC nor the APGA with a single seat. The implication of this is that the
opposition/minority groups in both legislative chambers will predominantly be constituted by men of Igbo extraction and those from the Niger Delta region. It is hoped that they will provide a robust opposition in the overall interest of Nigeria.

Some of the realities our Eastern Brothers and Sisters would have to grapple with are that, unlike in the Jonathan administration, not only would they not have prominent executive presence they may also found themselves playing second fiddle in the legislative quarters. Indeed!

Man is the architect of his future and a product his decisions. Without necessarily assuming that any region would be marginalized, the booties of governance at the federal level after the ‘Battle for Change’ have been fought and won as it would necessarily be much felt by the West, Middle-Belt and the North. They ultimately
will have to face the consequence of putting all their eggs in a basket. While the old Mid-Western Region/Bendel struggles to produce a Senator, the entire old Eastern Region has none.

The Igbos therefore inevitably need to change their political way of life. They must purge themselves of the over-bloated religious sentiment and ethnic bigotry before it wreaks irreparable damage on them. Shortly after the results of Presidential and National Assembly results were declared, the detribalized Governor of Imo State,
Rochas Okorocha advised his kinsmen thus: “Selfishness and lack of vision have kept Ndigbo in the back seat of the nation’s politics, despite their contributions to the overall development of the country.”

Okorocha added: “It is very painful for the Igbo to lose the position of the Senate President after being denied any leading position in the country for a long time because our political leaders and office holders used their positions to rig out APC candidates in the election.

“There was no election in the entire Southeast on the 28th of March. The PDP leaders with the aid of the military and INEC officials intimidated and harassed our people and thereafter wrote the results in their homes. I assure you that all hope is not lost because we are going to recover our stolen mandate.

“We saw it coming and we told the political leaders why Ndigbo should embrace the APC but they could not believe us but today the story has changed and the PDP they have been following all these years with nothing to show for it’s now an opposition party.”

Without doubt, South Eastern region politicians urgently need a serious and deep ideological re-orientation. They and their apologists refused to keep behind them the bitter memories of 1966 counter coup and allow to hunt them, the memoirs of the civil war that followed suit. They will not forgive the Northern elites for waging a war against them and refusing them to have Biafra. They also hold grudges of betrayal against the Yorubas of the West for daring to stay with the Nigerian nation and refusing to support the secessionists’ idea.

Yet, the Igbo businessmen boast of almost total control of markets like Alaba, Ladipo and Oshodi, some of the most commercially important markets in the Yorubas’ city of Lagos. It is however amazing that the Igbos could easily forget and forgive their age-long rival and enemy, the closest neighbour- the Niger Delta- that never
cooperated with them politically. They put behind them the greatest betrayal of the Niger Deltans in the pre, during and post-civil war era. Had the Niger be on the same page, the dream of Biafra could probably have become a reality.

My heart goes out to the Igbos for giving their all and sacrificing their political future for an Ijaw man who did not carry out any significant project in the East during his six years stay in office.

Now, against all odds, the reality is that the next Nigerian President is a Hausa-Fulani man and the Vice-President a Yoruba man. The Senate President seat that would have gone to the likes of Chris Ngige has virtually been forfeited by quackery political moves. Except the unexpected happens, however deep our love is and no matter the good wishes Nigerians for their Igbo brethren, this opportunity may likely to go back to the North Central. Beyond this, the posts of Deputy Senate President, Speaker, Deputy Speaker, Majority Leader, Chief Whip and all other sensitive positions in the National Assembly may elude the Easterners with the way
the present political equation is constituted.

The Igbo leaders must therefore, as a matter of necessity review their political motive, if there is any; ask themselves salient questions and decide whether the politics of ‘Wherever Pepper Rests’ or ‘Any Government in Power’ is still relevant in this dispensation.

This indeed is a big message which the Igbos would have to cope with for the next four years. It is hoped that the essential lessons would be learnt and necessary political realignments made for a better political future.

God bless Nigeria.

Just imagine! They will be the ones regretting, I wonder why their elders Who saw hell between 1967-1970 cannot warn these loud uncouth fools!

It is very wise for us to think before we say things,what if Agbeje wins Lagos state and Igbos were not drown in lagoon since power belongs to God and people in a democratic settings such as ours,that means Oba Akiolu will now become a bastard,it will now be evident that he was not born by his father and if he still occupies the stool,that means the Yorubas will have a bastard as their Oba.

Am just thinking please.

Igbo enwere eze. Who is oba.human or spirit.call a spade a spade.oba should learn to respect people.That threat is dangerous and should not be neglected.only God Almighty can tell the number of human beings he must have drowned in the lagoon.Tell oba that respect is reciprocal.So because you are oba, you insult and threaten an ethnic group yet cannot apologise.Igbos have indeed suffered.Honestly, if the yorubas and hausas in particular can survive our absence then allow us be in our biafran world.Igbos have been used to settle scores in this nation yet we remain quiet.Igbo blood shed in this country will never keep quiet.Time shall tell.

Funny, most of those who witnessed the civil war are among those causing troubles.
Ibos have "Yoruba Complex" and those that witnessed the war have succeeded in engraving it in their DNAs-it's part of their traits now. They will always blame us for their biafra loss, they will always call us cowards, backstabbers etc, but you don't have to convince these egomaniacal cretinos otherwise. Psychological tricks like that of Oba Akiolu, harsh economic politcies targetted specifically at them by the government in the SW and hostility towards them-as it is in the North-will address it and that's what shall be done.

They have inadvertently dug their graves! Sad for them! They shall soon realize the true meaning of this "segregation" and "marginalization" they have been shouting about!

alomo on point

All these shameless yorubastard monarchs who will not leave the Igbos alone.

First it was Oba Adebukola Alli who raped Helen Okpara who was a corper serving in Osun state in 2012...

Now this useless mor.on Oba of Lagos threatening to kill Igbos by throwing them into the Lagoon.

Well, my neighbor whose brother resides in Onitsha was telling me that some guys in Onitsha most of whom were members of MASSOB have grouped themselves and targeted some yourubastard tailors and business people in Onitsha. They have agreed that for any body found in the Lagoon after April 11th and is identified to be that of an Igbo, 10 yorubastards will be fed to the crocodiles in the River Niger and their bones will be used in the construction the second Niger Bridge!

A stewpid fvcktard will just come out and open his smelly ewedu mouth to talk rubbish about the igbos! We shall see...

Enough is Enough!

When you guys planned of taking Ihejirika to ICC, we didn't insult anyone. We are taking the OBA to ICC to pay for all the wickedness against NDIGBO. NHRC is only the first step.
#taketheobatoicc

I have said it before, check my recent comment, these igbos have been given too much relevance in Lagos to the extent that this satirical statement by the monarch against them has generated widespread condemnation especially among the yoruba people. As a well-meaning yorubas, you don't go about condemning your own monarch in public even when the Oba has made some mistakes in his choice of words, they have unwittingly washed their dirty linen in public by doing that. Despite I don't think Oba's choice of words is the best, we all know he doesn't mean them. I am disappointed with yorubas to allow the monarch's statement generate so much fuse like this, now they have given igbos the gut to disrespect the man and even file suit against him, give an Igbo man an inch and he would want to take a mile. These are the people we all know are still bitter as a result of their failure in the presidential election, now they have found avenue to vent their anger.

I have known it from a personal experience that we yorubas are the worst enemies of ourselves, a Yoruba man will easily betray his fellow Yoruba's and support other tribes for personal gain. We have brought this insult to the monarch and ourselves by showing too much contempt towards the man in his statement. Igbos can never reciprocate this gesture had it been their monarch made such a statement, they would rather keep silent than condemning their mornach publicly. I foresee it in future that Lagos might slip from the grasp of Yoruba people just like what happened in Ilorin if care is not taken

[color=indigo]I laugh in all the dialects in Nigeria!!
A traditional ruler is greater than a President?? Lol! Really funny!
For your information, a governor is not appointed. He is elected. He is not chosen by someone like your Oba.


I wonder when some persons will have sense. No wonder their king will rape a youth Corper and they see nothing wrong with it. Their king will make careless statements and they see nothing wrong with it.

FYI__One word from Fashola can send your Oba to the prison.

Owk....i can see u still don't get it......When Jonathan leave aso rock, he should try to disrespect Sanusi who he suspended from CBN and see how he will be treated for dat....

driand:
Interesting but even as an igbo man here I know agbaje and Co are trying to capitalize on the big mouth of the the monarch, but in my opinion people should ignore the old man and vote ambode in Lagos for continuity in the governance of Lagos, now that Lagos has a chance to work together with the FG.

U are not an Igbo man. U're on guise campaigning for Ambode. We are voting Jimi Agbaje. Lagoon or Lagoona. Which ever.
