TemporaryHansel:
Is this man not tired? He has been contesting every governorship election without coming 2nd or 3rd.

He is always in the wrong party.
If you're not aligned with the right people, no amount of money will get you the seat.
We see this everyday all over the country. But some of them, including this man think having money is the only thing required, which is why they'll continue to fail, unless they loyal themselves.

Spy360:
I am interested in knowing how this case will turn out

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cq14d438vx24o

Two people were having a spat on social media, one Muslim and one Hindu. Both insulted their respective god and prophet. The Hindu then made a public apology. But has now been sentenced to death for blasphemy.

Spy360:
After that Presidential Election Petition Tribunal judgement, I stopped rating our judges. Some don't have sense o. Believe me

Spy360:
That means the constitution does not reflect the will of the people

That makes the constitution a fraud by default

It's still the constitution but it is fraudulent

raumdeuter:
Yes on your mandate we stand

Are you giving up on Edo 2028 already abi na because you no sabi speak Edo language

izzou:
This man

Rest nau

raumdeuter:
Your current governor no even campaign with English and he won

Jamiuokolaa:
I can not fault any state government's attempt to promote the native language.

The difference here is that in Lagos state, the native language is presently being "demoted" and portrayed as irrelevant just to "accomodate" the shortcomings of a GRV who is evidently disconnected from the culture and traditions of the state he wants to govern.

That's why I mentioned Spy360 et al

afrodoc:
South Africa wey dey kill foreigners daily and take over their property dey hospitable?

You saw hospitality in my post and replied like this. I am responsible for what I posted and you are responsible for what you didn’t understand.

I just replied to BimmarlyKay so that I won’t leave him hanging. I don hapuya like that.

afrodoc:
Sorry I am just seeing this.

I am not saying any specific tribe is tribalistic or not tribalistIf. That is a different debate.

I was just addressing that particular notion that it’s the ubiquity of a tribe that demonstrates that they are liberal.
That is the wrong. Whatever tribe or group it is, it is the hospitality of that group in welcoming strangers to their home that shows that they are liberal.

Spy360:
Let's say you approved Sharia in the north. But that's by the way.

Nigeria education policy says that one language is compulsory.

izzou:
GRV pollee whatever he had the last time because of the Obedient wave.

Now, na Doherty dey there

Let's see what he polls without an Obi covering

izzou:
We all know he is serious

Na una wey wan explain GRV as a serious candidate we dey ask.

izzou:
He should first do the crash course.

His target audience still involves the market women with old trays, selling sweets and bitterkola at Tinubu square. Will he speak English to them?

I don't know if he would win or not.

But if you were embarrassed because you couldn't speak Yoruba in 2023, and 3 years later, you still don't see the need to block that loophole, then you're not serious.

GRV is not serious about contesting..

He knows
I know
But you guys don't

izzou:
You are the one that said 65% of Lagos are Yorubas. These large number have told you they prefer a candidate who can converse in their language

Why not learn it?

Him refusing to learn it outright disrespect to them.

What's more funny to me is that the language was an issue for him in 2023. I would expect such a person to have invested his time to learn it and come out strong in 2027

But see him labalaba-ing himself again

That guy is not serious. It's you people that think he is serious

Spy360:
In the BBC report you mentioned, the brothers are traditionally wrong. As long as the woman is alive she has 100% access to her father's wealth. If she marries, she begins to answer her husband's name. But as long as she isn't or divorced she has access.

The only thing she cannot do is to sell the property and offcourse she cannot will it to anyone.

izzou:
That guy obviously doesn't want to be governor. You guys are more zealous and serious than him

You lost an election in 2023, and part of the feedback is that you couldn't speak Yoruba.

3 years later, he's back and still cannot speak Yoruba. How is this person a serious person?

OasisX:


......he shouldn't bother campaigning with Yorùbá sef, I think he should rather be using the other 2. LOL!

Your fave lost in your state, mostly because he couldn’t speak the language. One even released a track in local language, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria o. LOL!

OasisX:


.....Efik ain't just a Language in the whole Cross River bro. They speak roughly between 40 to 45 languages in that state, no universal Language like in the North, West or East.

This your Gas ẹh, it ain't gonna light ó. LOL! Go speak non-hausa language at campaigns in the North and cruise to victory flawlessly.

izzou:
I haven't said he won't be Governor.

I am simply telling you that it is Yorubas that are reminding him to go back to Ekiti. The matter has been taken to court.

The Liberalism that the SW has and shows(which nobody can take away from them) is only in Lagos.

After Lagos, everybody must answer him papa name

izzou:
I won't take it away from the Yorubas being liberal. If Onitsha was like Lagos and have non-indigenes occupying positions, we would also say Igbos are liberal.

But it is only Lagos that these things are easily possible.

izzou:
Using a councillor to make this decision holds little water.

If a ward is dominated by non indigenes, the councillor can easily be a non indigene. A ward dominated by Igbos in Ondo state will easily have an Igbo councillor

Let us see Ondo state give commissioners to an Ebira man, or give HOA tickets or Senate tickets to another tribe.

It's only Lagos you see these things easily.

OasisX:


.....we fuckin all know what we are goddamn doing. LOL!

BlueRayDick:
Governor Adeleke's mother is Igbo.

Seyi Makinde's wife is Kalabari.

What liberalism are u actually looking for in the southwest?

iamoyindamola:
No body hate him, he should go and win lagos that is a no man's land.
Is GRV igbo?

TemporaryHansel:
The yorubas are the most liberal tribe in Nigeria. Anybody accusing them of tribalism is deceiving his or herself.

The kind of opportunities non-indigenes get in the SW, especially Lagos, you cannot get such opportunities in any other zone in the country as a non-indigene.

If the yorubas are beginning to get more tribalistic now, I believe they're simply learning from the rest of the country.
Let us all practice the liberalism in every state/zone, or let us do the tribalism together. No need to gaslight anybody.

I'm not Yoruba. I don't support APC or Tinubu. I'm just stating my observation.
