Truckpusher:
Most of these APC supporters are like fanatical catholic church members in the dark ages.

The same Obasanjo that initiated the fund choke hold is now their navigator ,yet the imbeciile is here blaming the PDP.

Little wonder the Oba of Lagos is now the current Minister of the Lagoon.

Evanscoth:
The people that starved APC of its funds and allocation for 16yrs are now in APC. So how come you allowed your enemy to camp with you.

boykas:

Stunner1:
STOP IT!!!!!!
Dnt try to hush me up nexttime

zizz:
I am not surprised at the oba shutting down shops and forcing people to go for ambodes rally, because it is what they do.In satelite town the iya oja forces market men and women to buy aso ebi and shuts down the whole market for whatever reason. Forcing people that pay you tax and rent a d a lot of times levies that are unaccounted for,to shut their stores for your personal gratification is highly undemocratic and unacceptable in our present Nigeria, if this story is true then it should be stopped,and that is why i have reservations about voting ambode because i want change,this has to stop and i might have to vote the opposition to get the lagos i desire.

Chai, oba igwe eje nga.

OrigamiIII:
[s]With this development, we advice any or all yorubas resident in the SE to start relocating back home because a cleansing of lagos and the entire SW would soon inevitably commence. Let each side prepare for the D-Day[/s].

[s]It doesn't get any more miserable than your life!

Tell nairaland what you and your family are doing in ijebu ode?

You ibos have been made the bottom in Nigeria, now that's miserable[/s]!

whitecat1:
You and everything that breathes and the one that doesn't breath in your household must die before me.

You are refugees in my town with your family, you are more miserable that a rat that's being chased. See your yellow eyes, you know you are already dead anyway!

whitecat1:
Vagabond that is eating trash in ijebu ode with the his family, son of the cheapest trailer park Asewo in ijebu bushes. Thief! you will soon be packaged out of my town with the Aids your entire family is infected with,

austinvsb1:
[s]Dude f.uck off my mentions! That's just to give you an idea of the likely ratio of yorubas to igbos if yawa gas in lagos. Y'all will suffer losses so deep you won't recover in decades! And your cries to UN and ICC won't be able to save you! Start respecting your hosts now before things get completely out of hand[/s]!

whitecat1:
[s]Serves him right!

He shouldn't have apologized!

You just don't apologize to ibos even if you are wrong cos, that's when they will now come for you. Ibos are animals who have lived in the jungle, so they know how to smell and prey on the weak!

Ibos are not real human beings like that![/s]

Eziachi:
[s]When Fashola government deported Igbos and some others for whatever reason given. I personally kicked against it because never in my over 40 years of living in Britain have I heard any English county deporting a British national because he is Scottish, Welch or northern Irish.
I cannot either remembering any American deported from New York because he is an unemployed miscreat or a criminal from Alabama.
I was egging Jonathan on to come out in force to defend her citizens but he had 2015 in mind by playing the ostrich through the saga just like OBJ with the Sharia.

I reasoned that if they brought Ndigbo back into Nigeria after millions of blood was shed through the civil war, that every Onye-igbo should be able to live wherever they choose without being labelled a non indigenous person in their supposed country and that goes for any other person in Nigeria irrespective of their tribal lineage.

There is no doubt, that with a huge Igbo population in Lagos, that they as a group is an asset to any party or candidate in Lagos if well harnessed. I reasoned that Ndigbo in Lagos could be a bride being chased by two suitors if they manage themselves well.

When some were making noise endorsing Jonathan with chest beating, I warned against that because I believed that, they could have courted both sides and whoever win, they will still be in the driving seat.
But when you lay all you eggs into one basket, you are playing a risky and a dangerous game.
Who does not know that other southern groups voted for PDP in presidential poll , but no one is talking about them because they played it cool and silently?

Who does not know that most Yoruba traditional rulers are non party carrying members of either PDP or APC? The likes of Sijuade is PDP, Awujale leans towards APC and overall, Oba Akiolu is APC without having to disguise it.
So when Ndigbo voted Jonathan, the likes Akiolu must have been silently peeved but when some Igbo individuals started the noise again with Agbaje, when the likes of Akiolu is rooting for Ambode, I knew that it's bound to get ugly and that has resulted in his childish ranting recently.

So it seems that Ndigbo don't seem to learn how to play Nigeria politics again. Why start a fight that is not necessarily important, not yours and a fight you are unlikely to win?.
By openly pitching tent with Agbaje, you don't expect the other side to be happy, knowing the nature of Nigeria personal interest politics.
What does Agbaje represent for Ndigbo in the past that we have decided, not only fight his fight but engaged their traditional institution in an open war of words? I don't get it!
Agbaje and Ambode's fight is like that fight between a husband and wife and whoever tried to meddle will get hurt and blamed after the couple's make up sex.

Ndigbo could have easily played both sides effectively and still come out tops. Does Agbaje likes Igbo more than Ambode? No!
Is his victory assured? Not in the least.
If he loses ( with a 50% chance) after openly campaigning against his opponent, then what?

Any party or candidate in Lagos who felt that Igbos are not an electoral asset in Lagos is only kidding himself. But if you are an asset, why turn it into a liability through your own actions or inaction?
In New York or Florida politics, the Jews plays this role to their benefit without openly supporting anyone in both local and national politics. Ndigbo can do the same in Lagos, Nasarawa, Rivers or Kogi.
Just like a beautiful well endowed woman, if she cannot manage effectively, her God's given assets, it may turns out to become her achilles that will turn into a liability.
Agbaje, Bode George who is still not yet in exile or Andy Ubah careless about Ndigbo more than the bias Oba Akiolu , but they will try to create enmity between ordinary Igbos and Yorubas for political expediency. Only a fool will dance to their tune.[/s]

tochimas:
What I do t understand is why the likes of Oba and now okorocha are hell bent on ruining ,Ambode.
In as much as I thought Ambode is a better candidate going by his resume and that of JK. It seems as if there is a conspiracy to destroy him by this two, the interesting thing is okorocha has just equally lost some votes by his utterances.
If they believe in Ambode, why can't they just tell us why we should too. Instead of threatining people up and down in a democratic govt. Believe me, I will rather tear my PVC than cast it for the likes of okorocha, he is just driven by self interest, people like that should not be allowed to govern us. In fact they shouldn't be allowed to represent anybody ,
Ambode can be forgiven cos he didn't make those statement

Vitalis13:
I'm so ashamed to call that man my governor.
Just for the sake of politics he has fallen in bed with those who cursed us. And we call him our governor. Shame to you Okorocha if you really said those words.

I'm bringing along underwater camera. Instagram tinz

Ishilove:
I don't have a PVC because i am apolitical, so y'all should go ahead and vote. If we find ourselves swimming in the lagoon come sunday, not to worry, i have the latest scuba diving gear from Japan.

uzolexis:
If what he said mks sense to you , i don't even want to know ur definition of sense

onatisi:
I think u misunderstood me , what I was trying to point out is that he has the right to visit whosoever he wishes to see. Just because he is a president doesn't mean he can't visit ppl personally.

EUROBOMBER:
[s]God bless you abundantly Rochas! Most of my Igbo people don't like to hear the truth but some of us will continue to shout it from the roof tops until our people accept the truth.

You will hear them call Rochas all sorts of names now and call for his sack from Government house come Saturday.

I smh[/s]...

ChinemeOkpan:
[s]Igbos should stop meddling in internal affairs of Lagos State.[/b]

Lagos is Yoruba Land and it is time Igbos understand that.

Igbos should learn to be good immigrants[/s].

onatisi:
it has even got nothing to do with humility. This is a personal visit and he can visit anyone he likes . So because he is the President ,he can no longer visits his friends ?

gmyguy:
i'm a doctor...i can't afford to be...During theatre we all have the same equal internal organs! yoruba kidney ain't different from ibo kidney...you can't discriminate between rich n poor...although some rich folks can make you look forward to seeing them.
Don't think in retrospect, but just remember that one padi of yours of a different ethnicity and how much fun you guys have together. and the shitty same tribe policeman/ lastma or some other horrible person guy that made your life miserable. And you'll see that our diversity is just the spice that sweetens our existence...Afterall, man will not live by fish alone, but enjoys the other varieties...So also our differences.

Later humans will start looking for alien life, so they can extend their friendship?!...or just a different being to hate

Gboliwe:
This woman na correct! Agile Maaama!

I am younger than she is but I would be too scared to stand on a moving bike like that.

Kx:
Just asking:

Should the president be visiting Danjuma or
Danjuma visiting the president of the nation instead?
