Beremx: someone who's a Yoruba a Yoruba hater? That's not cool. Anyway, we know the cycle of ethnic bigotry which plays out every four years of election. The same thing was done to Jimi Agbaje when he was labeled an Igbo candidate because Igbos in Lagos chose him as their preferred candidate. Any Yoruba man who's in the opposition in Lagos is tagged an Igbo candidate. Same thing will happen in four years time even if GRV don't contest
You are re-echoing the same thing I've said.
He is half Yoruba and half Igbo.
His Internet history shows he is comfortable identifying with Igbos and denigrating Yorubas. He even asserts that his thinking is not Yoruba.
Why should Igbos in Lagos chose a candidate as a collective and then make so much noise and boasts and threats about it?
No other tribe does it in Lagos. Igbos don't do so in other states of the federation either.
Can't Igbos just vote their independent choices out of the many available candidates?
Why can't Igbos vote individually and independently?
Must it always be a clannish and collective vote to achieve an end result that is desired by the Igbos as a tribe?
Once you set up yourself as a single voting block with the sole purpose to achieve Igbo goals, then you have set yourselves up against the Yoruba indigenes.
Why don't we see this ethnic gang up by Igbos in the Northern states where they have the population.
Children wey run go LP to get easy ticket that has already been won by a loyal and long standing party member.
LP candidacy was a big mess.
Even Obi wey they talk about process, how did he emerge as LP candidate in less than 1 month from when he was a PDP aspirant who had bought PDP nomination form?
Political prostitution must be stopped in any future amendment to the constitution.
OP you are right about immigrants from any part of the world attaining political heights in the developed and advanced democratic societies.
What you have not considered.
Those societies already have internal integration such that they are not ethnically tied to specific regions of their countries. Hence any one can contest from any region of their own country as long as they reside there. Example is USA.
So it is equally easy for immigrants to do the same.
Here in the developing democracies, our tribes have not even achieved internal harmony, but some want to achieve external harmony.
Case in point, the Igbos of SouthEast are so clanish in their social structure, that an Mbaise man from Imo cannot achieve political position in Nnewi in Anambra, and vice versa.
MadamExcellency: If you call what happened in Lagos State, an election then you are one of the most miserable Nigerians.
This election had shown that the majority of the politically active persons in Nigeria have no character, no conscience, and no integrity to defend in themselves.
Your words remind me of Peter Obi III.
No character or integrity whatsoever.
A political prostitute 2nd only to Atiku.
The process that got him the LP ticket with membership of less than 1 month, after already buying PDP presidential nomination form only to depart 1 week to D-day, is something our legislators should work to prevent going forward.
This same shady process was what provided many failures in PDP with LP ticket.
Only organic politicians and candidates who have been long standing members of their parties should be contesting elections going forward.
No more emergency messiahs without character or decency.
starstaz: There is nothing wrong , as other tribes do too LOW-KEY. What is however wrong is their modus operandi : they do it with inflamed passion, Lousy and putrid; devoid of persuasive BAIT but rather emotional disruption.
They do it with a boldness that indicate they are on to something.
Alas or fortunately, they always count their chicks before they are hatched.
bakynes: I noticed it, they mobilised fully and vote as a block. Yorubas and the Niger deltans will vote different candidates according to who they believe will be better for the state APC,PDP,LP but Igbos will Vote LP in block votes.
They have an agenda ahead of them.
They want to be in a position where they will determine who wins in Lagos.
There are not interested in performance or ability.
NaijaHelper1: He's been irresponsible on public spaces no doubt. But is that the point of elections?
What the hell is wrong with us as a nation. I'm addressing serious issues and your problem is unguarded comments made by someone who represents change. What about Doherty? Wasn't he good enough? Or Yoruba enough? Or experienced enough?
I keep hearing stories of Yorubas supporting the very same system keeping us where we are because they wish to spite the LP guy which doesn't make any sense because there are other credible candidates of Yoruba extraction if you really wish to make a statement. But No. You've been blindsided again using your latent irrational hatred for Igbos into subscribing for another 4 years of thugs and traffic and crime.
Remind me again what he brings to the table?
Is it his MIT degree that will run Lagos that is the 4th largest economy in Africa?
NaijaHelper1: You are fool. I don't blame you too much. I hope the east gets good leaders this time. You'll see in no time, Igbos don't need you. You need them.
Hiding your bias under the cover of yorubas withdrawing their support is hopeless and lame especially since the LP candidate is Yoruba too.
You voted on the basis of tribalism. Enjoy it. Idiot.
The LP candidate is a Yoruba hating bastard.
He is only using the Rhodes-Vivour family name for his advantage in Lagos, other wise, his heart is Igbo as his mother is.
He is proud of denigrating Yorubas while applauding Igbos and IPOB.
He should contest for elections in the SouthEast after raining abuses on the Igbos, let us see the outcome of the social experiment.
