Oh!! So that's where you got your moniker from??

The great Aztec people, children of Montezuma and the Sun God, Quitzetolz. Beautiful people. One of the fhucck ups of the Spanish Conquistadors.

You gat any books or novels about them?? Softcopy

People vote when they are motivated to do so, did you read the press release form the pdp chieftain from Niger Delta who said while the Northerners spent their own money to make sure they vote, people in the south expect to be paid to vote. That is 1

Secondly, pdp won oshodi isolo and Amuwo Odofin mostly because they were able to buy votes, ask anyone in Lagos, pdp agents where giving out cash and even generator sets to cajole people into voting pdp. Apc agents were mostly conversing for votes.

Now the federal jona money is gone, in fact, Agbaje has been financing his campaign mostly from Jonathan funds allocated to Lagos.

Add the dissatisfaction of Obanikoro to it, Obanikoro is still bitter he was forced to step down for jimi, jimi is not having his support.

Finally, the reason Yorubas were going to vote pdp before was to align Lagos to the centre, now the centre has gone to apc.

Above all, TINUBU is now THE UNDISPUTED YORUBA LEADER, HIS INFLUENCE RIGHT NOW CAN ONLY BE IMMAGINED. Even Yorubas that were going to cast protest vote right now are having a rethink because the man has won their admiration. One thing the Yoruba people will never stop doing is giving respect and support to who deserves it. In Yoruba land, you don't buy respect you earn it. Obj till today does not have the respect of yorubas because he has not earned it.

In conclusion, except a miracle happens, AMBO is the next Lagos governor. APC is on a row and it is not about to stop now.

NewNigeriaMind:
The best non indigenes in Lagos can do for pdp has been done during the presidential elections. The greatest motivation to vote was Jonathan and he is gone, that is Lagos non indigenes at their best and Apc still won.

Come governorship election, with no money to throw about now that Abuja is gone, what do you think will happen.

In fact, the noise you all make on this forum about non indignene number in Lagos should end with this elections. we have seen the best you all can do and we still won. For the next millennia the governance of this state will be determined by the omo onile...the Yorubas.

suwailad:
Lagos for Ambode is not a debate. we dont need to talk about it because Jimi knows he has no backing anymore
Remember Bode goerge has hinted on his exile, so who would vote a poster boy for an ex convict who wants to jettison the country?

Or would you rather vote Ambode of the Governing Party? and looking at the increasing popularity and relevance of Bola Tinubu?

Another thing you should note is the Igbo people are licking their wounds, they have failed to have a shot at the senate presidency, from speculations for now, so they will not want to make the same mistake by voting pdp and then loosing woefully which will leave them hanging and hopeless. 85% lagosians are voting APC, theres no long shot about it.

Sorry, I can see that you are suffering from post election trauma. The loss is so painful. Eeeyaaa, you will get over it with time when GEJ and PEJ together with Fayose, FFk, Omokri are giving admission numbers in Kirikiri prison. What a painful loss!. Obviously you are an illiterate militant, I can see that you are Godsday Orubebe's cousin, bad attitudes runs in your DNA and old habits never die.[/s]

Mynd44:
That's what you people said about GEJ but here we are 15,426,921 votes later

First of all, let me state this: I am not a
card carrying member of pdp neither am i
a member of any political party. My
interest in Lagos politics is that I am a
Nigerian citizen based in Lagos who is
aware of Lagos political history. Now to
the subject at hand.
On the surface, many people would think
pdp is finished in Lagos due to the fact
that despite the effort of president jona
to win the state, he failed and also that
lahos since 1999 has always belonged to
apc (then AD) however a closef look at
what happened shows that as far as the
gubernatorial race is concerned, it can still
go either way for the following reasons:
1) The main reason president jona lost
was because of the under performance of
his administration. Nothong more nothing
less. If he had performed well, he would
have likely won lagos. Lagosians have
proven again that they are very intelligent
and are politically aware.
2) A closer look at the results shows that
the margin between apc and pdp is not
wide. Based on this, since the election
has been rated one of the best Nigeria
has ever had, it stands to reason that pdp
stands a good chance if only they put the
defeat behind them and work harder on
winning the forthcoming elections.
3) The number of those who voted is
quite low compared to the number of
people who collected PVCs wbich means
there are a lot of Lagosians who are
either undecided or are not motivated
enough to vote during the last elections.
If jimi can work on getting these people
to vote for him he would win this
election.
4) The truth is lot of people are getting
frustrated by Tinubu stranglehood on
alausa. The LCC debacle, the use of ABC
to continue to loot the treasury of lagos
and the fact that everyone knows that
Tinubu is trying to pay back Ambode for
his loyalty with the office of governor and
not that Ambode is competent on his own
right coupled with the fact that lagosians
are aware that Ambode wasn't even
fashola's choice, and fashola is highly
respected in lagos, makes lagosians more
sympathetic to Jimi than Ambode.
However Jimi has a onerous task of
converting sympathy into votes and what i
would sugest as a political observer is:
1) Articulate your plans cle"ing us
to read your manifesto is not enough. Let
us know in exact words what would make
you different from the current
administration.
2) Study the last elections and look at
areas where the turnout is low vis a vis
the number of PVCs collected and get
your message across to those people.
Like i said earlier, it was a lot of lagosians
are not motivated enough to vote so get
your ideas acriss to these people and
motivate them to vote for you.
Finally, it takes someone with balls to
press on but i think Jimi has got what it
takes to win. Eko o ni baje

feelme3:
Some people don't want to accept reality but want the constant reassurance that what they believe is indeed the truth. The illiterate goat herder WILL be your president for the next four year wether you like it or not. The best you can do is have apoplexy.

Jarus:
Yorubas care about parties. Only very few don't.


Tinubu has enough loyalists in Lagos grassroots to deliver Lagos. That is the message. Those men and women that can die for Jagaban.

U ar d one trying to rewrite history by comparing d most divisive, clueless & corrupt leader in nigerian history, a man who undid d great work of d patriots of d G34 to d great Mandela. If ur memory is short, dat of d world is not.
Prof Akin Oyebode: Jonathan is a disgrace to all phd holders - Prof Oyebode is fmr fmr Vice-Chancellor University of Ado-Ekiti, a distinguished academic, an astute lawyer & Professor of International Law at d university of lagos
Julius Malema, south African political activist. - Jonathan is irresponsible
John Mccain, frm US presidential candidate - "some guy called Goodluck Jonathan"
Yoweri Museveni, Ugandan President - " I Would Rather Hang Myself Than Invite UN For Security Like Nigeria's Goodluck Jonathan”
What a shame. Okay u think d world or d Mo Ibrahim prize commitee didn't watch madam Piss in dat disgraceful "diaris god o" saga
[/b][/s]

eliment:
For those who care to listen APC will never allow PDP win Lagos its as if many of you don't realize the damage that will cost APC. Don't forget Tinubu is a master planner

LubricatingOil:
Ambode is gone like the way "Buhari can never rule nigeria".

Jarus:
LOL. Yorubas don't care about tribe. It is you people that do.

Nobody cares if Jimi is Yoruba or not. He's PDP and the array of Tinubu's loyalists that are well-grounded in every corner of Lagos are enough to take care of him.

datribune:
ur argument makes no sense. d world lauded him 4 conceding but if u know d criteria 4 d Mo Ibrahim prize u'll know dat d prize & Jonathan can not be mentioned in d same sentence.
Btw ur Hahahaha sounds like a mirthless laughter but if it's okay if it consoles u 4 f*ck up. GEJ f*cked up big time. smh. To think i voted 4 dat clueless individual in 2011.

raumdeuter:
I made a claim. If you counter it I would expect you to bring opposing fact.

Not just shouting

raumdeuter:
I told you Tofa won 3 out of 4 Ibo states.

Prove me wrong if you can

datribune:
Guy it seems u don't know what d Mo Ibrahim award is all about. Kindly google d criteria & u'll know what we ar talking about here. d award is not a celebration of mediocrity, ineptitude & corruption. dis man ruined d hardwork of d founding fathers of d biggest party in africa. He almost collapsed d economy & hope of nigerians to d extent dat nigerians chose a 74yr old fmr military dictator over him as president. GEJ f*cked up big time & i agree wit Professor Oyebode - Jonathan is a disgrace to all PHD holders.

Texcoco:
[color=#1980BC] [b] Haaaahaaa,We laugh you again,Haaahaaahaa...Those who lost were they incumbents?? Or from the ruling party? See your life?..What makes news? Obama losing his election as incumbent? Or the democrat presidential candidate after Obama's tenure?... [/color]

Jarus:
The same way we heard GEJ will "split Yoruba votes" and win all Igbo votes to win Lagos. Some of you even claimed Igbos/Niger Deltans are more than Yorubas in Lagos and will swing votes in favour of GEJ.

The result? A 165k gap.

raumdeuter:
I can back my facts up you back yours up

Tofa won in 3 out of 4 SE states in 1993

raumdeuter:
WHo is united because of any SOuth to start with

Ibos have always betrayed the South since 1960 when they chose Balewa over Awolowo, 1979 they chose Shagari over Awolowo, [in 1993 they chose Tofa over Abiola]. They now have the guts to shout over some useless unity
