onuman: Lagosians are the sum total of the people resident in Lagos. Before now, Tinubu had used Agberos to restrain voter registration to non Yorubas resident in Lagos, as well as use of Agberos to restrain non Yorubas from voting in elections, as his tool to win Lagos elections for his appointees. But this time, on hearing from the INEC about use of BVAS to transmit vote results directly to INEC portal immediately after the close of poll, people rushed in unprecented numbers to register to vote. They will make the difference next guber election in Lagos state, as they made during the Presidential and National Assembly elections.
Ok, so it's no longer about the indigenes. It's now about the residents. So because you are an Igbo man who resides in Lagos, you can now pontificate and poke your wide nostrils into the affairs of your host community? Can any Yoruba man cross over to your region and be dragging land? Your eye go soon clear. We will strangle your activities in the SW going forward same way you have been strangling us in your region. Ungrateful, greedy louts!
damosky12: I'm obidient. But this is sadly true...
Labour party didn't get lagos politics right. GRV won't appeal to many of this Yoruba voters. Even though they already are against Tinubu, they may not so much trust a GRV who speaks Yoruba like an "Omo Igbo."
If Labour party had abetter candidate in the mould of Jimi Agbaje, this election would be an easy win for them. GRV won't appeal to these Yoruba folks (most of whom overwhelmingly voted Obi).
Putindbutt: Migrants sit down in the corner of their bedroom and tell the indigenes who to vote in or vote out? stretching their luck too far. Well, Saturday will reveal to us the status of Yoruba in Lagos. We dey here dey watch una.
You just shot yourself in the leg with your statement. Saturday will reveal the status of the Yoruba in Lagos. Who misinformed you that Lagos indigenes are not Yoruba? See,, we see through your efforts to steal Lagos just like your grandfather ZIK attempted but it's DOA. You think Lagosians will prefer a hybrid, a mongrel to govern them? 😆😆😆😆
flokii: The danger of having that half-Igbo raised by an Igbo mother and fed with all the bile and hate Igbos feed their children about Yorubas is extremely risky.
Let the woke Yorubas continue.. it's our ancestors that will soon reason their matter. Se won ni ori iyalaya won o fe pe ni.. no qualms.
Trapnews: How's it your headache? Are we complaining? Abeg we don't need your advice, channel it to your IPOB region. Thanks.
How Lagos matter de pain IPOB and Igbos is still a mystery to me although I heard from a reliable source that the Kanu was claiming Oyigbo to be indigenously Igbo. The craziness is truly disturbing.
Dsalvo: Mo gbe. Igbos are now having the temerity and bravado to threaten Yorubas in Lagos. "Woke" and over-liberal Yorubas, see where you have gotten us?
I was reading an article today that said upcoming election in the 28 Nigerian States of Nigeria featuring gubernatorial contestst on Saturday are peaceful and calm affairs bar Lagos which has taken on a do or die tone between Yorubas and Igbos over the political soul of the State.
Some of you Yorubas are self-destructive dullard who have no shame and no foresight.
Do Igbos live in Lagos alone? Kaduna , Abuja, Kano, Delta, Sokoto and many fairly cosmopolitan States in Nigeria are not there for Igbos to attempt governing?
It is Lagos they must drag because over-accomodators Yorubas have allowed them grow wings enough to the extent they believe they can foist an IPOB tout who cannot speak Yoruba, and has directly made bigoted statements against the Yoruba as Governor of a Yoruba State?
Yorubas looking to vote GRV should Bury their head in shame. I am a democrat who believes in recognising the democratic choice of others, however painful the conclusion of an election may be, but I draw the line at voting vile bigots and supremacists who want to lead people they have shown public and unambiguous hate and disdain for.
If only we could identify every Yoruba who will vote GRV on Saturday and deport you all to the SE for good, with no option of return, then perhaps that will reset you brain to make you understand there is nothing wrong with voting those different from you as long as they are not your haters who live to see your misery and downfall.
Voting GRV, for a Yoruba, is no longer democracy for the same reason New Orleans or Georgia in the USA will never have an openly proud and practising Ku klux Khan supremo as her governor.
It is for this same reason every sane Yoruba must grab their PVC and go to the poll to disgrace this Yoruba-hating IPOB tout who switches name deceitfully between Chinedu and Gbadebo while reeling off IPOB anthems publicly.
Relax, my guy. No Yoruba, 'woke'/liberal will vote for Chinedu. We know the game and also know when to draw the line. That arrogance and greed Igbos are known for will be their undoing. Chinedu IPOB governor of Lagos ke?
kk2027: Why do you guys not want true Lagosians to govern their own state?
Thats the case in your states, why cant Lagosians do the same?
It will happen, maybe after Sanwoolu's 2nd term. And it's definitely not going to be a Chinedu Rigour-Vhodes or anyone affiliated to Igbos. It's going to be a Yoruba man.
GOTVee: Even though I'm a born again Christian, I think I must give kudos to our Muslim brothers and sisters for living by the tenets of islam. No Islamic ruling nor nation will give a nod to this madness and we wonder why they are more morally up right than we Christians? Weird acts and cultures are common amongst Christian nations yet we think we are more righteous. Sometimes I regret being a Christian
The honourable Councillor was accosted while he was returning from his shop, a popular drinking joint in Okposi known as Angle 90. They shot him and he fell inside a gutter there, and they set him ablaze and left the scene

It's grease. Not greese. Book you no go read. Na to de gamble.
seunmsg: The challenges they talked about are logistical issues and nothing else. They never queried the eventual outcome of the election. Hopefully, INEC will learn from the experience and improve on the distribution of materials and early arrival of polling officers to polling units.
The mandate Nigerians gave to Tinubu is incontrovertible. We will defend it with the last energy in us. Those that lost the election on Election Day will still lose in court like they anyways do since 1999.
I have a vision for a new Lagos Here is my action plan for the first 100 Days in office.
1.0 Increase Minimum Wage to N60,000 on Day 1 in Office, the salary of Civil Servants will be increased by 100% to N60,000 monthly. The target is to reach N100,000 as soon as possible. This will cover everybody including street sweepers.
2.0 Moral suasion to persuade the Organised Private Sector to follow Govt's lead by stopping casualisation and also increase their minimum wage to a living wage. Banks, telcos, oil companies, multinationals, large national corporates, etc will be incentivised with PAYE tax credits to stop casualisation and index their minimum wage to their capacity to pay rather than current market wage rates which are suppressed by high unemployment. A first step for a Lagos where every worker has health care, pensions and similar benefits.
3.0 Cancel Alpha Beta's Contract which costs the State N5bn monthly.
4.0 Use the savings from the cancellation of Alpha Beta contract to set up a grand Loan Scheme for Micro, Small and Medium Scale Enterprises. Ensure at least 10,000 beneficiaries in the first 100 Days. We expect the scheme to benefit up to 1m beneficiaries in 4 years.
5.0 Establish a portal for publishing costs of all government projects and compare them to World Bank standards to eliminate waste and corruption.
6.0 Issue a 10-year order for 10,000 vehicles to an auto manufacturer that commits to building an auto assembly in Lagos with a credible plan to achieve 50% value added within 5 years.
7.0 Pull down all toll gates in the Lekki Ajah axis and Ikoyi link bridge.
8.0 Build a monument in memory of our slain sons and daughters at the old Lekki Toll Gate.
9.0 Advertise for the employment of 10,000 teachers with outstanding grades (First Class and Second Upper or Upper Credit) to start a process of repositioning teaching as a middle-class career.
10.0 Execute a Memorandum of Understanding with all Road Transport Unions for the implementation of a rehabilitation and retraining program, and take Agberos off our roads.
11.0 Invite bids for the design and construction of 100 km of rail across Lagos.
12.0 Host an education summit with all stakeholders to get buy-in into GRV's plan for partnerships to upscale public schools to the standards of the best private school.
13.0 Host a health summit with all stakeholders to get buy-in for partnerships to upscale services at Primary Health Centres to best-in-class, laying the foundation for an effective referral system.
14.0 A summit for various artisan associations such as bricklayers, plumbers, mechanics, welders, carpenters, tailors and other technicians with the objective of creating a process for their certification and access to small-scale loans.
15.0 Working with my Party, the Labour Party, appoint first-class caretaker Chairmen for each Local Govt, each appointee being skilled enough to be a potential Governor.
16.0 Set a date for Local Government elections.
17.0 Issue Guidelines to open up the BRT routes to all investors who meet the minimum standards. Create a program for widespread investment in public transport by all willing Lagosians and investors.
18.0 Issue Guidelines for markets to operate autonomously and appoint their own Iyalojas and Babalojas.
19.0 Release Guidelines for a new waste management system for separating waste to paper, plastic and organic from homes; a first step towards a world class system for turning waste into biogas and fertilizer.
20.0 Emergency rehabilitation of buildings and facilities in 100 primary and secondary schools pending comprehensive reconstruction.
21.0 Enumeration of all apartments that have been vacant for more than 180 days, and commencement of a program to ensure occupancy by 31st Dec. At least 100 such apartments are to be occupied in the first 100 days.
22.0 The commencement of the rehabilitation of 100 inner roads spread across all Local Governments in Lagos.
I am determined to set Lagos on course to become First World in 30 years. Hold me accountable after the first 100 Days.
Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour Labour Party Candidate for Governor of Lagos State
Sponsored Post
Chinedu Rigour-Vhodes! Governor nkwanu. Go to your mother's village and govern them their.
UltimateTiger: Dear Lagosians remember how APC Cabals humiliated 'Gov Ambode' and installed inexperience 'Sanwo-Olu'.
Let’s come out en masse on the 18TH of March to vote 'Gbadebo Rhodes'. Eluu P(LP) from top to bottom ✅
I believe Ambode is in a blackmailed tight corner right now, that’s why he’s silent ever since they booted him out because he refused to do evil Cabals bidding... 😢 Say no to Godfatherism!!! ❌ Vote Labour Party ✅
Obidients/IPoB/ Igbos should never be allowed to hold any meaningful political power in this country. They are too unstable and dangerous for anybody's good. Just imagine what this dingbat I am quoting is trying to do. Whipping up Ambode and trying to play on our emotions. When are you going to realize that Yorubas don't play emotional politics.
Throwback: Did the deputy candidate go then to donate blood or she just heard of the tragedy?
As in! These guys need to be essentially checked. Something is wrong with their ability to reason and rationalize well. It's scary! The level of emotion is frightening. Why they find it difficult to be calm and think beats me hollow.
ruffhandu: The Labour Party Deputy Governorship candidate in Lagos was seem at the hospital shut out because the governor gave a directive not to let her visit the accident victims.
