Oba Akinolu may not be right on this but the attitude of our Igbo brothers and sisters could frustrate one.
Having helped them more than what their region has done for them, instead of being grateful; their actions seem to be undermining the essence of our existence through their incendiary statements. Calling their hosts cowards- what do you want after that-fight to show we are not cowards.
Oba Akinolu is their match and that is why the situation seems difficult now.
A gentle king could be disobeyed easily but did they say anything at the palace? No. They dare not.
It was after leaving the palace that chest beating, ultimatum , etc started surfacing.
Who then is the cowards? Ta lo fe gbenan woju ekun lai f'eje we ( who wants to put light at the face of a tiger without being bathed with blood)
Remember, 'He who makes peaceful resolution difficult , has made violence inevitable.'
What is this one talking? Am not an Ibo man tho, but let me explain to you that the constitution which is the most supreme law in the country has it that as a Nigerian you can live , build, vote & be voted for and so on in any part of Nigeria without discrimination. DO you know that dat oba can be dragged to court for all those his rantings? U better show that you went to school.
Ishilove: These videos have surfaced online and prove that indeed, His Royal Majesty, Oba Rilwan Akiolu, custodian of the royal throne of Lagos state, did really make the incendiary comments that have sparked massive outrage amongst the good people of Lagos state.
The same way the police men will shoot and kill innocent Nigerians at the least provocation is the same way this retired police man in the name of Oba is releasing rubbish from his waste bin to fellow Nigerians without self control. Like one wise man said" you cant put a crown on the head of a clown and expect to see him be a king"
Is it a police profession problem? Does this so-called Oba know what it means to be the head of traditional kingdom in a highly revered state of Lagos? Who told him he can talk carelessly without reservation and all will continue to be well? One day, his useless talk will get him into where he will regret if he fails to change. Being a great man is not in how many kingdoms, communities or nations you have been able to capture, controlled and ruled but first in how you have been able to win the battle against yourself, control yourself, tame yourself and handle issues with reservation and fairness. Whatever you achieve is a product of how well you have been able to conquer and manage who you are. If at that age, level of exposure and status he still chooses to talk like a street boy in this manner, i want to sincerely say that it is quite unfortunate. It is my opinion, say yours and dont crucify me.
kolofem: More pics available on request . Will give you the best deal on this property and also give you the pros and cons about it.
ahahahahahah Your really funny indeed.
You can snap the whole environment where that property is, but you can change nothing because its too late to cry when the head is off bro.
Of course there is no way buyers wouldn't want to look at the property and its environs before buying, so your wasting your little data. And i pity those who will fall into your tricks just because you show them pics of the environment alone because you will dupe them and run.
calebo101: Please nobody should ever mention Jonathan and Obasanjo in same sentence, they are miles apart!!!
Obasanjo oversaw 2 elections and none of them was free and fair, Jonathan did. Obasanjo had 8 peaceful years of leadership he did NOTHING for Nigeria, Jonathan in 5 years did much more despite the demons from the North tormenting him. Jonathan laid the bedrock of democracy for Nigeria and Africa. It's not easy for a sitting president to sign the FOI bill when you know it would be used to witch hunt you, Jonathan did!
Under Obasanjo's tenure, Bola Ige, Harry Marshall, and a whole lot of political assassinations occurred even when the political climate was not tense, Jonathan's tenure despite the tensed political atmosphere never recorded a single assassination and nobody was or went on exile.
Obasanjo was so deluded he claimed Jonathan was training snipers with people on watch-list, how mad can a man get?? That midget El-Rufai was on exile during Yar'Adua's tenure and could only come back to Nigeria to flex his mouth because Jonathan allowed it.
Jonathan's defeat was just a powerful merger of the Northerners and SOME of their South-Western allies. If Jonathan was to be a Yoruba or an Hausa man, he would have been the BEST president by miles Nigeria ever had. But unfortunately he is a minority and not in control of the mass and social media, that's his bane.
All they had to do was give a dog a bad name in order to hang it, and they did it. Suddenly Jonathan became the most corrupt man ever in Nigeria. They conveniently forgot Abacha's loot which decades later is still being discovered and recovered. They also forgot Obasanjo's romance with the Halliburton scandal and Siemens's scandal and the shameless "Ghana must go" saga when Obasanjo tried to buy a third term in office. They forgot Obasanjo and Atiku never built any university for Nigeria but established their own private universities.
But like someone said, Jonathan lost Nigeria and won Africa and the World. Even in defeat Obasanjo has been trounced thoroughly by the man from the creeks. Watch how Jonathan becomes an Africa statesman after his handover and how world leaders use him as a reference point on the growth of democracy in Nigeria cum Africa. Being clueless seems to be a blessing after all.
Unlike Obasanjo who gatecrashes into Africa countries to give his unsolicited advise. Useless old man without a family and without dignity.
@op, i have a few questions i know you have said some good things about the guy however: 1. Is he physically ugly? e.g bad face, short and black, thin and flat, too fat wit large tummy and snores etc? 2. Does he have self confidence, he speaks well, well educated, and polished, do you know any family problem the guy has in his family eg terminal health problem etc? 3. Are u into another guy of some sort? 4. Is any other guy asking you out for dating or marriage at the moment? 5. Is he neat? 6. Does he not seem to be planing his future properly? meanwhile be careful bc good husbands are scarce. Maybe part of the problem that your guy has is that he doesn't cheat on you.
Congrats Nigeria for a peaceful and credible election. Now its time to settle down and think about the future. This property means a lot of hope for the future, buy good, buy peace of mind. Call 08186989196
WORD FOR MY IGBO BROTHERS………..BY MADUKA FIDOROCKS ONWUKEME You voted against GMB for 2 reasons "Hatred for northerners over the civil war that ended 45 years ago" and "fears of islamisation due to ignorance or outright refusal to see the impossibility of such". Well it takes just Kano and Katsina (2 Northern states) to cancel out all the votes in the Southeast. GMB is coasting home to victory in the Southwest and the North. He would definitely win on the votes of other zones comfortably without the southeast. The moral of this treatise is that I want to thank my Igbo brothers for teaching me that a man who is ruled by "hatred" and "fear" will never move forward. He will only embark on self defeating schemes even when only defeat stares him the face. Anyway, now GMB is set to clinch the presidential seat. What do you do with the delusions of islamisation and the civil war hatred! As for me, the civil war ended 45 years ago. Am neither ruled by hate or fear. ##stophate ##stopfear
This message lacks wisdom and will fail to douse tension. allow people with wisdom to write things now that the tension is rising beyond sea level. Rather than seeing write-up displaying hope and encouragement for fellow Nigerians , this message is sounding like this thing was war and not an election have any one read the message by the OP? that's how wise people write.
EroticAngelina: no biggie. there are some families that are very close dat even the mother will be dressing infront of the kids. op, wat are u scared of? that he'll steal her from u? he's her brother! nawa o.
Absolutely wrong in all ramifications. We are talking about adults of opposite sexes here. Nobody is saying d guy will react , but good Morales require that such be done in privacy , only her hubby is qualify to have such privilege. Ones you are married, you body as a woman or man cannot be seen by any other man or woman except your hubby or wife, not even your father, mother , brother or sister. Except of course the medical doctors as the case maybe.
Now some of you are here sanctioning it but by the time you start hearing stories like a father impregnated his daughter, or a brother sleeping with his sister then u begin to blab nonsense. What is wrong is wrong no matter the level of exposure or trendiness. These bodies are sacred you know.
Watching Porn videos. A guy in his final year in the university during final project defense used his laptop to run the PowerPoint slides when after a few seconds of discussion porn pictures started displaying on the slide show of the projector screen in full glare of the whole jury. Guess what happened? this was seen as offensive which translated into automatic carryover for the guy. Be warned guys.
Jorussia: Oyegun is not a political big shot in Edo state.It pained me to see people yesterday in where I voted in Edo collecting #2000 to vote for PDP At all levels. If not for the money PDP massively distributed, APC Would have gotten up 65% of vote cast.can you imagine PDP sharing #5000 at st.Paul in Egor yesterday.At least buhari will get 45% votes cast in Edo.
Oga only in this country that politicians will lose then they will start accusing their opponent for one reason or the other. if pdp bribed with N2000 why didnt apc do same? Lets stop stories anywhere GMB wins his party worked hard, and anywhere GEJ wins same thing. I hate excuses for failure.
Weldon fellow Nigerians, as we are voting, let us remember to invest in our future. This property is still waiting for the rightful owner, you may just be the one. Good luck. Call 08186989196 for further info
