What is it with Aisha Jummai Alhassan of Taraba becoming the first female Governor in Nigeria?
What does that make Virginia Etiaba of Anambra State??

We need to understand our point here. Must know that no other state in this country that everybody lives as one Nigeria than lagos for that reason Apc gave us good governance and accommodate us as one united Nigeria for the past 16yrs. Pls don't let's us heat up politic that will divide us and let's accept united Nigeria and let's move on as united nigeria. JIMI shud nt create or allow any comments that it already clear off to destroy our relationship. Pls ibo nd Yoruba be wise. We ar all lagosia as its be frm 1999. Vote apc

Let me start with your last statement (prayer) AMEN
Agbaje is my problem, not because of his qualifications but because he followed the politics of ethnicity path. That is why I used the "chemist" term just to spite him in my own little way albeit not very effective I have to admit embarassed (with due respect to all sensible chemists)
Why on earth will he even think of making such a sentence of elevating Eze to the status of Oba of Lagos just for the sake of sensitisation of Igbos in Lagos. What will he do if (God forbids) crisis breaks out and some id!otic Yoruba men decides to unleash mayhem on innocent Igbo men on account of the Oba's statement (which I think is wrong). You can blame such ugly incident on the Oba but without the provocation, that statement may not have been spoken. People should know where to draw the line when playing politics.

So now Igbokwe and Nwabueze are no longer Igbos abi? What will satisfy you guys? Until Lagos give the Obi of Onitsha political appointment? Please get real.

If the Igbos are agitated by the actions of Fashola's gov, then they don't need to be incited by any politician. Why the emphasis on Igbos in the pamphlet he circulated? Are all the issued limited to only Igbos? Don't the Yoruba traders also pay fines and levies? Or you guys want to do business without paying a dime to the host government? Don't traders (Igbos and others) pay fines and levies in Igbo states?
As a traditional monarch and an elder, has your oba ever make any effort to confront and admonish Agbaje over his campaign methods? I thought he should have called him to order if he felt aggrieved or threatened that someone would be at par with him.

I don't support that and I'm sure lots of Igbos in Lagos don't give a damn about the Eze ndi Igbo. I doubt if most people know his name. Your oba should tackle the problem and not vent his frustrations on innocent people.

I mentioned igbokwe because he and his friend do not represent the face of Igbos in Lagos, never said they weren't igbos. I mentioned because you guys seem to drop their names everytime Apc want to show that non indigenes are part of fashola's govt.

Those guys are working for their pockets. If they lose their jobs today, no Igbo Man in Lagos would miss them. If Ambode went to Alaba or ladipo with those men, those would not get a single vote.

I mentioned indiscriminate taxation and levies. If you want to find out further, Pls do your research. You will be shocked.

No one is fighting to displace the Yorubas but I think any responsible resident of Lagos should contest election if he has anything to offer without you people feeling threatened,Let the people decide who leads or represents them. Politics is only a do or die affair to jobless people, without politics, they are nothing. You have two main contestants in Ambode, a successful accountant who can easily go back to his accounting firm and Agbaje who is a successful pharmacist. They are intelligent, academic and successful in their professions. Lagos indigenes should be proud of them and irrespective of who wins, he should be accepted and congratulated and supported.

Leave the Igbos out of these. May their votes go to whomsoever they wish to cast those votes for.

It has come to Governorship election and APC are reasoning normal now.

For the sake of peace and continuity you supported Buhari?
APC is a joke. Now that is clear that you may lose Lagos, you all are treading the soft path.

Change is all we want.
My friend become wise, if all the ibos voted 4 Pdp can they win?, the truth is this entire oba saga as been a positive 4 Apc, the strategy team of JK have allowed themselves to become distracted, seriously mis-calculatng, devoting and concentrating their energies on the Ibo vote, why?, becos the Ibos always voted Pdp so why consume yur resources on a vote u already have, the whole have turned out to b a plus 4 Apc, u had the leaders of Apc come out openly and assure not just the ibos but all the tribes that they safety and prosperity will b looked after, I hope u know there r other different tribes living in lagos apart from ibos meanwhile Apc have been busy mobilise their votes and embracing defectors from Pdp in all the heavily yoruba populated areas like badagry, agege, yaba, mushin, epe, ikorodu, ipaja, isale eko etc,the bottom line my friend pls dont hold yur breath, dont think, imagine or try to pounder, there is no happy forever after, no fairy tale ending or no make believe wish Pdp will not win Lagos

Fashola is never an ethnic bigot neither is he a religious bigot, Igbos were repatriated not deported, Peter Obi used that to play Politics, Ladipo market was closed For Sanitation, Joe igbokwe is APC publicity secretary in Lagos, Prof Ben Akabueze is Lagos state commissioner for budget and Economic planning for the past 12years, what else do u want Governor? or deputy?
Thank you... Dont mind the fu...cking idiota!

Jimi did not divide lagos along ethnic lines rather fashola govt did by deporting some Igbos and closing ladipo market, another thing they did is not giving non indigenes appointment event when they contribute so much to the building of lagos. that some Igbos will not vote for apc is as a result of this this policy of govt

how will you say that JK divided lagos among ethinic lines? Not JK sir! It is social media guys. Ndi Igbo are predominantly PDP & even among yorubas JK is a more prefered candidate to Ambode. So Igbos like any other person are supporting the party that has given them opportunity to make contributions into the affairs of the state where they live, work & die.
PDP being the only “national“ party (for now) has given Igbos opportunity to contest & even win primaries in Lagos.
If you live in Lagos, you will know that all the areas where the Igbos live en mass have been negleted by both AD/AC/ACN/APC government for the these 16years.

The wind of change is blowing so the wind should also pass through Lagos.

Lagos is not divided among tribal or ethnic lines but among party lines PDP & APC...
SIMPLE & SHORT

I beg to differ... Neither Zik nor Awolowo fought for Nigeria's independence... Plus do not forget that Nigeria was to be run based on Regions...
zik and Awo fought for nigeria independence in many front point of correction.


As educated as zik he knew that there are region,but he trust his popularity that lagos population will vote for him then, before he was brutally reminded that Nigeria is divided in region.


Point am trying to make is that yoruba have been into tribalism since and that it didnt start with oba comment and others.

I never said people were not taxed. I just asked a few questions about the taxes, but like others you ignored it.

Did you see/hear of any issue when Igbos won some seats to the house of assembly? The irritating thing here is the politics of ethnicity at the state level the Agbaje is trying to introduce to Lagos.

And I asked what will satisfy your thirst for political appointment in Lagos? Is it when the Obi of Onitsha is given an appointment or who exactly do you want that will represent this so-called "face of Igbos" in Lagos?

We, the people of ihitte uboma will vote for rochas, even though PDP have a strong presence here......................
But my observertions is that PDP is funding there mobilization very well unlike rochas who is stingy with money and that might be his undoing....

Its 11th day of April year 2015, its going to be historical in Yoruba history and we will all know if we learnt at all from Afonja and Alimi scenario in Ilorin or we didn't learn at all. Now that the new Afonja by the name Jimi Agbaje is selling us to Igbo people just to get a mandate he will never get lagbara awon to nile, to te ile Yoruba do, we must all rise and say NO to such act, so if you are in lagos, ogun , or oyo? Kindly dust your pvc now and let's bury this capitalist calling themselves pdp, throws them into lagoon as our oba has instructed and never may we see them in Yoruba land again.
