Edo No Be Lagos: In Search Of The Nairalander Who Started A Revolution by AlexBells(op): 6:35am On Sep 22, 2020
I heard that the first use of the Slogan "Edo no be Lagos" started here on nairaland, anyone with proof that he or she was the one that started the slogan should indicate...

You have started a Revolution, it is no doubt that Nigerian corruption and bad governance started in Lagos when Lagos was the federal capital as such it is no surprise that the real scenario where Nigerians realise they can take back their country was also inspired by Lagos...

Prove that you are the one who coined that term and prosperity may remember you.

Yes. It started here on Nairaland. That's for true.. But I think it came up as a cliché, when the Obaseki-Oshiomole cracka prior to the election ensued. It birthed out as a natural cliché about the incidence and transformed into an " iconage" . So it wasn't an entirely planned or invented activity by a single individual, but a banter word that arose on its own during heated political debates

I'm not the one. I won't lie because of the prospective 'God picking my call' beneficial nature of this post.

But,

Just but,

I am a firm believer in Edo people. All Edolites I have met in my life are firm, strong willed people. None, I repeat, none allows himself to be :'colonized'.

If you have help to give, give a man that is sincere and holds dearly to his heart, the notion that loyalty is good but knowing when to stand up to your 'colonizers' is very good.

That will be ME!!

Truly, Edo no be Lagos!!!

Edo governor ride to victory on the slogan "Say no to godfatherism, end godfatherism" I hope he will not try to be a godfather by anointing his preferred candidate when his tenor is over. If he does then he is an hypocrite. God spare my life and I pray to be alive. If Obaseki anoint a candidate to succeed him come 2024 then I'll be waiting to hear what people supporting him now including Edo state indigenes would have to say.
Till then, congrats to Edo Governor

The fact is that black people and Nigerians specifically like to embrace dumb and meaningless things as long as it affects people whom the perceive to be the cause of their hunger and sufferings.

This Edo nor be Lagos slogan is as dumb as it gets.

How can Lagos even be comparable to Edo when PDP has always been the ruling party in Edo bar the 8 years of Adams?
Edo is actually a PDP state.


There are 2 categories of politicians;

1. Those who are godfathers today.
2. Those who shall attempt to be godfathers tomorrow.

There has never been a politician in the history of Nigeria who left office without attempting to plant a successor or stooge.
Never!
Even Jonathan planted Seriake Dickson.

Politicians always try; some fail while others succeed.

The anger and outcry about Tinubu is that he always succeeds.


One thing is as certain as the sunrise;

Both Obaseki and Wike will attempt to do an "Oshiomole" in 4 and 3 years' time respectively.

Whether they fail or succeed remains to be seen.
