Read to comprehend the body of the message not the title. The title says something differently from the body.

He basically gave a recital of past occurrences of the previous elections, declared that Rivers people are no push overs and are prepared to protect their mandate at all costs! Abi is the FG now the big brother that can take from the little one and expect not to have a fight on his hands because he feels meaner and bigger? Let there be no discernible interference, that is what I see in the op. Cos Rivers is a PDP state pure and simple.

Op may amadioha destroy that your leprosy hand you use n typng this thrash. The election will be cancelled a re -run will be held and a winner will emerge and nothing will happen. Fool.

One big mistake this APC government will make is to fuel the nullification of River State election. I say this with facts. The last election was very bloody. Both the PDP and APC had a gun battle in the election. In Buguma, some APC thugs set ablaze INEC office which led to the death of one corp member. No one is talking about this. There were lots of killings from both sides of the camp. Imagine that the election was nullified. The people in Rivers are mainly pro-PDP. I know APC would want to get power at all cost. This is where the battle line will be drawn. If you people think I am just blabbing wait until the end of the tribunal. Buhari should steer clear of Rivers else it will be the beginning of the fall of his government. Rivers people are not push-overs. Rivers people are resilient people that will never accept tyranny.

Which people are pro-PDP please? My friend the issue in Rivers is that Government needs to move to Ijaws after 16 years of Igbos. Thats just the simple issue. Parties are just avenue to realise that. If PDP wants to win Rivers State free and fair, they should field a Riverine candidate.

I did not ignore the statement, that is exactly what I referred to with the Big brother analogy.

it I disingenuous to to say 16 yrs of Igbo rule when you always make it known that ikwerres(amaechi) are not Igbos...upland and riverine is a more apt description

For those that care to listen. I have been saying this for long. If they cancel the elction wke and I repeat can never win. He will only manage to win in obiakpor being his LGA by slim margin. The whole Riverin is for dakuku. Emougha-DAP, Eleme-DAP- Gokana - DAP.etc
Wike knows all this that's why he is doing everythng possible to see that the case is struck out but he has failed.

Most of the people shouting wike will win are mostly igbos wthout PVCs .

Why I used Igbos is Igbo speaking part of upland. Engenni, Eleme and Ogoni are upland but speak different languages from Ikwerre, Etche, Ndoni, Ogba etc who speak Igbo languages.

U see the problem! First we are referring to the Oba of Lagos and not Obasanjo. Secondly, who decides what qualifies as respect? How will someone show that they support someone other than by coming out en-masse to show support? What do u mean by disrespectful or arrogant please? Did the Igbos break a law by supporting Agbaje? Who are u or the Oba to demand respect from law-abiding citizens of Nigeria whom u did not extend any form of social welfare or charity to? Are they beholden to the Oba? Do they not pay their taxes and go about their businesses like other Lagosians? Just explain what respect and humility u feel the Igbos owed the Oba if not to bow to his wish and vote his choice? Is it now the place of the Oba to decide whom Lagosians should vote for? Please just explain.

your quote is the main reason why it seems a lot of folks discriminate against the Igbos. Each community has it's own rules but you folks don't just seem to get that, even the Whites understand this. Imagine Yoruba folks in Rivers saying they will make sure Wike lose in the Election by voting en-masse saying they have the numbers to do it challenging every other tribes, what would you think will be the result? Or doing a Yoruba rally in ABA shouting they will ensure there own candidate will win, How do you think the average Aba boy will feel?

That is all sentiment! Politics is a game of numbers and votes are a matter of choice. It is the duty of the political party to field credible candidates that are acceptable to all. Those who support their candidates are free-born, politics is not culture or tradition. U will not see an Igbo person contributing to who becomes Oba, that is a traditional office. What are the rules of the Lagos community anyway? That the Oba decides who is Governor? Or everyone must agree with him? Since when and how? People discriminate because they cannot stand playing on a level field and nothing more!

I still ask u, did Igbos not also support Ambode? Did Yorubas not also support Agbaje? Who is the Oba to decide the electoral choices and votes of Lagos residents who are qualified to vote? Were they not all Nigerians entitled to cast their votes for their choices? In places like the UK and other countries where some Nigerians and Africans have emerged mayors or occupied political offices who has threatened them or those that voted for them? Did other tribes in Lagos not also vote their preferred candidates? If all Lagos residents vote one choice then where is the competition? Do we have a one-party state? Even if Lagos is APC can another candidate on another political platform not contest and win?

You cannot justify the senseless and thoughtless act/threats of the Oba so just admit he was wrong or let it be. He was rather the disrespectful one and should have had regard for the revered seat he occupies! He is not even supposed to be partisan as a traditional father of his subjects. I ask again, why didn't he call out Yorubas that supported Agbaje?

No thanks to the internet, every nonentity now has means to air their useless opinion.

Op, take a cue from Asari, sit your ass down and shut up.

all rants! What will happen of Yoruba boys hold a rally in ABA in support of an opposition shouting and bragging?

DaBullIT:
HEhehehehe

Empty threats as usual

One state will cause seperation of Nigeria ?

Una no dey think at all ?

It starts from somewhere so please for once the country seems to be heading somewhere, 4 years is worth a wait

kenny987:
It starts from somewhere...could just be anywhere. APC should know that they did not have much on ground to sway such PDP strongholds like Rivers State. The best cause of action would have been to chill, develop their structures more in those areas they had the most defeat, showcase why they are a better option and then consolidate victory at the polls in 2019. It still is a matter of the choice of people and u know as well as I do that Nigerians are a mostly sentimental lot. All it takes is a conviction that a certain person or group is a collective enemy. They (APC) should not be expecting to clear it all in one fell swoop.

I just hope the tribunal is allowed to carry out its duties unfettered.

you need job

keep waiting

Answer the questions I posed if u dare to be honest! Igbos are egalitarian...hold ur rally in Aba peacefully. Don't just commit crimes or pillage the neighbourhood. That's all.
