Shut up foolish old man. Imolites hates Okorocha so much. This is not an Mbaise thing.

No mind that fool, as if its only Mbaise that voted Okorocha out and voted Ihedioha in

GBOKASINCHA:
comot for here! ogbomosho brown roofed skull miner like you dey claim no mans land

Ihedioha has just been declared winner by inec rec

Abagworo:
Few clannish Mbaise people destroy billboard and it turns Imolites. Meanwhile they are yet to become Governor and they've started showing themselves what if they actually become Governor? The election meanwhile has no winner and there will be a rerun.

INEC just called the winner.
cry cry baby, I want to see your mummy, mmee, ntoor

Never associate publicly with enemies of the people, you'll be hated for no reason by lots of people.

That's exactly what this man is suffering. He associated with Rochas.

You're Nwamaikpe !

ictjobber:
Imolites don dey get mind sha.... Im happy for them

They have done it before. They removed ohakim after one tenure and replaced with Rochas.

GBOKASINCHA:
Obiano is next that bastard should not be allowed any senatorial after his departure from the house...that vagabond must pay i trust my anambra ppl sha

But I thought he did well for Anambra state ...

donstan18:
Never associate publicly with enemies of the people, else you'll be hated for no reason by lots of people.

That's exactly what this man is suffering. He associated with Rochas.

Simply put, "Avoid the unlucky"

Imolites
Anambrarians

These demonyms are wrong

They don't obey the convention of suffixation.

The -rians in Anambrarians add a suffix not properly derived from the last letters. So also the -lites in Imolites.

They should be:

1. Anambra = Anambran / Anambrans.

2. Imo = Imoan / Imoans

WAT LESSONS DID WE LEARN FROM ROCHAS OKOROCHA CASE?




1) RESPECT THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE.

HAD ROCHAS STAYED IN APGA, HE WOULD HAVE BEEN FAR MORE RESPECTED AND POPULAR.




2) LOYALTY TO THE PEOPLE PAYS.

RATHER THAN USING DURESS TO BECOME A SENATOR, THE PEOPLE WOULD HAVE MADE HIM THEIR SENATOR.




3) PUT COMMON INTEREST BEFORE PERSONAL INTEREST.

Point of correction, Na Lagos make many igbos what they are today. Come computer village, trade fear, alaba for instance . I know many of your brothers that came to Lagos with only one slippers and nylon bag to hustle in Lagos. Because your leaders over they don't care about you all.
You can't even make your own state not to talk of making Lagos. Tinubu don really help una life Indirectly pass your own leaders self.

Go and learn history. Igbos have been in Lagos, doing very well, while Tinubu was still dealing drugs and laundering drug money in Chicago.

Senator Adeseye Ogunlewe wrote this beautiful piece, read and learn.

Lagos State belongs as much to the ethnic Igbo as to the Yoruba, Ijaw, Hausa, Fulani, Efik, Idoma, Urhobo, Itshekiri, Edo, and so on who live in it, pay tax, identify with it, and settle in it. That compact was made the moment Nigeria became a single nation, and a successor power to the old principalities who were subdued and who ceded their sovereignty for the new commonwealth of Nigeria.

It was pragmatic. The Igbo had the skill and the industry, and Lagos was the seat of the Federal Government of Nigeria and its major port. The Igbo have lived in Lagos since the 15th century when the Aro and other Igbo first settled in good number in a place we now call “Oyingbo” in the era of Benin and the Portuguese trade.

The arrival of Dr. Namdi Azikiwe to Lagos in 1937 from Accra after his studies in the United States, stimulated the political and cultural environment of Lagos as no other has before or after him. Zik literally resurrected the wizard of Kirsten hall from political death. Zik represented Lagos in the western house. The NCNC was the power in Lagos, and not the Action Group. The Igbo were prominent in the governance of Lagos in the Lagos City Hall.

The institutional development of Lagos – the railways, the ports and ship yards; the education and research facilities; the Banking and Commodities Exchange, the development of towns like Yaba, Surulere, Ebutta-Metta, Festac Town, Victoria Island, and now increasing the Ajah-Lekki axis, and of course, the ghettoes along the Orile-Badagry axis, have profound Igbo imprimatur.

The circulation of the image of Lagos is to date best reflected in the cosmopolitan Igbo imagination of one of the greatest African writers of the 20th century, Cyprian Ekwensi, a thorough Lagosian if there was any. Igbo have built industries in Lagos and have been drivers of commerce and exchange.

Interestingly, I was born at plot number 8, Okoya Street, Idumagbo- Lagos, while the Ojukwu families were residing at number one to three on the same street. I grew up to know the father of Odumegwu Ojukwu. Chimbizie and Azuka grew up with us on the same street. Even the Chibeze small parking space at the end of Okoya Street is called Ojukwu.

I later attended St. Patrick Primary School, Idumagbo, where I had very amiable classmates of Igbo origin in the persons of Azubike Ezenwa and Damian, Ihekuna, both now professors and doctors of today. They were brilliant, resourceful and friendly.

When we were playing bamboo and Tene Felele at Orikoriko at Onola playing ground, the Igbo participated actively. In the area of sports, school football and athletes, Igbo were dominant at Kings College, St. Gregory school, St. Finbars, Akoka, Igbobi College and Ahmadiyya College, Agege. Such boys, Njokwu, George Amu, Stephen Keshi, Henry Nwosu, Patrick Noquapor, Peter Anieke and Sammy Opone were dominant on the field of football, while Asiodu, Empire Kanu were prominent on the field of athletics.

Anytime we went to watch football match at Onikan stadium, my darling team, Stationery Stores and our adversary team I hated most was the E. C. N, where the centre forward, Paul Hamilton, the National Team, Fabian the captain who bit the dust. Our greatest captain was Duru, Oduah Onyenrekwa, Onyeador Onyeali and Opel, the greatest outside right Nigeria ever had, Cyril Azuluka. So, during my early life at primary school, the Igbo were always there and delightful to watch, both in athletes and on the football field.

When I listened to radio at that time, both the commentary and drama series, the Igbo were there for you. The likes of Chris Ndaguba, Ernest Okwonkwo, Ralph Okpara ‘Alawo Sekiseki the traveler’. The episode will end with – The script was written by Ralph Okpara and edited by Yemi Lijadu.

Anytime I visited where I was born today in Idumagbo at Lagos Island, the entire place is covered by Igbo traders in their thousands. They were never troublesome but decent and accommodating. They have virtually taken over all properties of the indigenes. They succeeded in developing all our properties, married to most of our children even from the royal families. There is no single house you will visit without an Igbo man selling wares there.

So, who is saying something else? Only the strangers in our midst will not notice participation of economic development in our state by the Igbos. Most houses and shops in Lagos Island have been purchased, developed and occupied by the Igbos. The value of their investments in Lagos Island alone is in trillions of naira.

Instead of deporting the Igbos, whose contributions to the development of Lagos state are immensurable, you must keep on praising and encouraging them to keep on developing Lagos State

Seems you guys support pdp too much you should have asked When PDP was in power. PDP was FG for 16 years .Out of that 16, your brother goodluck ebele Jonathan was the president for 6 years. Did your leaders make any move for equal and fair playing ground ? NO. Instead they were playing your guys and shearing Nigeria money up and down. Shukudi find somewere go sleep o

With out equal playing field by GEJ your brother would not smell that seat.

He would be disqualified over and over again: Y'all forgot he does not have the pre-requisite to contest as other qualification based on a falsified one is a nullity.

In fact, it is the seed, nay the Igbo strand of DNA in GEJ that made the country progressive in just 6 years, even if it came with people who were less than interested to move the country forward or people with corrupt tendencies.

Hey, even when God himself delivered the Israelites through Moses, and asked them to separate from the country: God people pulled out of Egypt with the remnant of a mixed multitude who were not interested in freedom but whoredom and corruption.

Even in Moses household, corruption was found.

How much more GEJ. Abegi free the man.

It is a fact that we are not embroiled in a protracted civil war or gorilla war today was because of his benevolence person, if he were to have the vindictive heart of your current boss and a complete Igbo blood, your man will be in Jail Kpakam and any uproar will be dealt with by the Army.

rahazaqa:
This is a satire lol. You see, when we say Igbos are too emotional and not wise, you people argue. Only the wise can understand the purpose of that piece.

Truly, i support Senator Ogunlewe, the Igbos created and developed Lagos, we should keep praising them to leave there rotten Abia and Ebonyi and do more in Lagos.

How wise were you to assume that I'm Igbo, or even Nigerian. Obviously English is not your first language, so you wouldn't recognize 'satire' even if it hits you in the face. The piece by Ogunlewe is a historical account of verifiable events. But I don't expect you to understand it. It has names, dates, places, events etc. All historically verifiable through multiple sources, and you call it satire. Any exchange with you is a colossal waste of time.

Tinubu never found lagos... past leaders made Lagos what it is today. But let us see what happens as soon as Ibaka sea port is completed... us see if other states in the SS or SE will have some sort of industralization if there won't be a massive exodus.

Oya one more place....... Ogun shares boundary with Lagos and u dnt expect it to sleep............ We all understand the game allow Sea port in the east and make diz comparison after 4years

Oh, you mean he's the one that lock the east seaport and una get sea for east?

tell the FG to give us equal and fair play ground. useless people.

Your race, family and associates are useless.

They are all mad in that region. Both old and young.

Okuda:


tell the FG to give eastern states the same level playing field they give the western states. E.g dredge our river niger, open the ports along the eastern/southern coast line

Were you dead when Jonathan was there. Why don't you ask him. You do not even have sea in whole east

Okuda:


if you had sense you know that jonathan was a northern puppet playing to the gallery of the northern Agenda , the reason he cared less about the ss and se. besides grj is not igbo..get that in your aboki skull..

Who cares. Northern pupet that gave you guys upper hand and marginalized the west. Ingrates

Did you read what he said, can you counter what he said, can you disprove history, I doubt it. It's not your fault that you don't have the capacity to comprehend nor research what he said. He simply stated verifiable history. I could explain it to you, but you haven't got the brain power to understand it, and I don't have time to waste.

I did not write it pig, if you had any brain, you research it, and then dispute it if you can. As for drugs, it's for wretched peasants like you, I'm million miles ahead of you and your entire family lineage, and have no need for that. You and your likes don't exist in my world.
