David Mark was from the North Central.
He's Nigeria's longest serving Senate president. After that Bukola Saraki still from the North Central did 4 years.
The North Central cannot do it again.


What happens to the South South? Despite Igbo affinity, we gave Jagaban 25% in almost all the states.

Do you know the implication of an 80% for Obi in the South South like the South East? It would have been 11 States landslide.

How do you discredit how much work the likes of Wike, Akpabio and Oshiomole put in to preach Muslim Muslim Ticket to natives of an area with 98% Christians without mosques?

It's unfair.

Una yourbas no dey rate us 😡

Very annoying thread for most of us.

The chairman lost Nasarawa State his State to Labour Party in that same North Central.

Labour party won Plateau State in that same North Central despite producing the campaign chairman, an incumbent Governor.

Benue State was so close that it could have gone anywhere. It's technically a draw between LP and APC just like Lagos. The win margin of APC has no meaning.

If we count Abuja-FCT based on its geography and boundary, APC did not even see 25% there.

North Central voted along religious lines. Kwara is technically Yoruba and Kogi to an extent with Muslim population. Niger State has a massive Muslim population too.

The only christians in Nigeria that didn't give a damn about the Muslim Muslim Ticket apart from the South West were South South christians.


Also consider the fact that APC was the dominant party in the North Central before the elections. KWARA, Kogi, Niger, Nasarawa and Plateau states had APC Governors.

South South delivered beyond imagination for a region with only one APC governor who defected. The South South will have at least 2 APC governors on the 29th of May (Delta State and Cross River State). The region is going APC and you must reward the people.

FreeStuffsNG:
With 6 out of 15 Senate seats from South East, the APC will need to get more Senators from the South East to avoid another Saraki/Dogara betrayal but if it is from North Central, they have greater number and much at stake to not tow the party line.

The North Central over delivered. They earned the Senate Presidency. The South East did not work for it

The President-Elect made it clear that reward will be on merit of contribution to his victory at the polls.

FreeStuffsNG:
The North Central, Benue in particular really did far extra work to make the victory of Asiwaju possible.

Nobody saw it coming. I must commend Niger, Kogi and Kwara too though these 3 states still have an affiliation with the Yoruba.

The Senator must be a Christian though.
APC will be naive to give South East the Senate Presidency.

Deputy Senate President for South East is tenable and more strategic.

North central Leaders and Senators must demand and insist on getting the Senate Presidency, they deserve and earned it.Not even the NW of PMB or NE of Sen Lawan worked as hard as they did.

The NC did not do double dealing with Asiwaju and HE Atiku unlike some disloyal APC politicians in NW and NE who betrayed Asiwaju.
check my signature for free stuffs!

FreeStuffsNG:
I have looked at the election result and it is best for APC to choose the Senate President among its ranking Senators from any of these North Central states of Benue, Kwara, Kogi or Niger.

Deputy Senate can go to South East. APC needs to reward and consolidate in the North central.

It's not easy to be an Obituarist sha....na the first stage of grief una dey - DENIAL

This case was settled by Supreme court in 2003 in the case of Buhari vs Obasanjo......The supreme court stated that the FCT is considered a state in this section of the constitution....a candidate that has 25% in 2/3rds of 37 i.e. 25 states has met the requirement of the constitution

It's common sense. The best rigger won.

By the way, Okeke Cynthia is a legend.

Sirjamo:
When we tell those akamu brain idiots, that Tinubu is the best among the rest, they will be talking rubbish. No governor has the Track record of Tinubu in the history of this Country. Tinubu is the greatest of all time. Lekki free trade zone and Eko Atlantic Alone is bigger than all the investments attracted by all former and present Nigerian governors combined. Obi and Atiku are the two most useless among the 4, one only attracted Ogogoro company, the other did not attract anything, he sold everything.

The Ooni of Ife's wife, Prophetess Shilekunola Ogunwusi, took to social media to share beautiful photos with her mum as they celebrated mother's day. Recall that the beautiful Prophetess got married to the Ooni of Ife in October 2018, less than a year after his 8 months old marriage to queen Wurunola crashed.

Here are photos of the Ooni of Ife's wife and her mum which she shared below;

raskymonojendor:
Of course. Rigging or not, it's common sense that APC had the upper hand and also the clearest path to victory. Some wise obidients were also aware of this; hence, the constant attack by obidients on Tinubu and not Atiku

Soludo and Oshiomole at different times predicted many months before the election that Peter Obi would split PDP's vote. It's highly delusional for anyone to think LP will win core north and majority of votes of the SW when Peter Obi was barely known in those places.

It is what it is.

No his ancestors were not indigens of Lagos before captured

Most Yorubas sold as slaves were captured in the interland.

Tee2027:
Omookri wait a minute, papa said no be hin born pikin you all strangers come dey cry on top matter wey no concern una.

The most annoy thing is those carrying this matter on their heads are igbos same people that played Maduka, drained him financially then dumped him at poll simply he is from Osu clan according to some quarter.

Same people that rejected Archbishop Okpaleke simply he is from a particular village are now the ones telling vivor or vapour his lineage.

This is one of the reason I'm always angry with them by unnecessarily interfering into what is not their business.

omohayek:
It's quite amusing to see the same people who insist that Lagos is a "no man's land" now trying so hard to convince the same people the call "Yaribas", "Afonjas" and worse that Chinedu Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivor is the very epitome of an "omoluabi". If Lagos is the "no man's land" you insist it is, why does Rhodes-Vivor's ancestry suddenly matter? And if his somehow being "more Lagosian" in his ancestry makes him preferable to the incumbent, doesn't that put the lie to the "no man's land" line of argument?

You people are shameless in your brazen inconsistency, willing to tell any lie and embrace any sudden about-turn in your eagerness to grab political power.

*On the questionable candidacy of Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour
BY ADESOJI OLUWO*



By the provisions of Section 77 (2) & (3) of the Electoral Act 2022, every registered political party (Labour Party inclusive) shall maintain a register of its members in both hard and soft copy and that such a register shall be made available to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) not later than 30 days before the date fixed for the party primaries, congress or convention.

It is clear from the provisions of Section 177 (1) (c) of the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 as amended, that a person shall be qualified for election to the office of Governor of a state if (c) he is a member of a political party …’
As at the time the register of members of Labour Party was submitted to the INEC, Mr. Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, Labour Party candidate for Lagos State was not a member of the LP. Indeed, he was a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) where he obtained nomination form, attended screening to contest for PDP Gubernatorial ticket which was later won by Jandor.

On the 19th June, 2022, Mr. Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour formally applied for deputy governor candidacy to the PDP flag bearer, Jandor, but his application was refused by the PDP Deputy Gubernatorial Candidate Screening Committee (DGSC) Abuja. In the committee’s words …”Gbadebo Rhodes- Vivour as the Lagos State Deputy Governorship candidate portends danger for the PDP due to the fact of presentation of conflicting information on oaths to the INEC in his previous Senatorial election and to the party which are potent grounds for disqualification as enshrined in Section 182 (1) (j) of the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 as amended”

The Labour Party governorship primary election was conducted and Mr. Ifagbami Awamaridi emerged as its candidate. Having won the primaries, Mr. Awamaridi’s name and particulars were forwarded to the INEC by Labour Party. However, Mr. Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour joined the party in July 2022 and on 10th August 2022 he was named LP candidate while Awamaridi’s name was wrongfully substituted. This case is currently in court (Supreme court) and if we all know the principality called Lagos APC godfather, this is landmine that must be avoided. Don’t be shocked when Supreme Court will announce that Labour Party has no candidate in Lagos base on the aforementioned
From the foregoing, it is my candid opinion that by the community reading of provisions of constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 as amended; the Electoral Act 2022 & INEC Guidelines and Party Constitution; votes for Mr. Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour of Labour Party in Lagos State would become wasted votes as he is not qualified to contest this election. It’s not just enough to blindly ride on the wave created by Mr Peter Obi’s Feb. 25th Election and waste this golden opportunity of rescuing Lagos.

Let’s be wise and choose a better alternative with no constitutional land mines.

Iamgrey5:
Of course Same as Salvage, Coker etc.

However, the Boy(LP presidential candidate) doesn't know that in Lagos we have different Yoruba groups that have settled in Lagos at different times even before the returning slaves ever came into Lagos island.

Places like Abule Egba, Ijesha, Ikoyi, Sango-tedo represent different Yoruba sub groups such as Oyo, Egba and Ijesha who settled in Lagos at different times.

We also have Tapa (Yoruba way of referring to Nupe) families that came into Lagos just like we have in Ibarapa part of Oyo state. One of their prominent Son is Balogun Tapa Oshodi.

This is sperate from Awori, Ilaje, Ijebu and Ijebu-remo which are different Yoruba sub groups amongst the original aboriginals of Lagos State.

So for him to come from a family of returning slave and question other Yorubas authencity in Lagos is actually very silly.

KGD10:
It was the Awori who rehabilitated the Rhode slave ancestor, alongside other slave ancestors. Other regions such as the hateful South East didn't even rehabilitate them. But guess what? Chinedu Rhodes has got the nerves to insult Yoruba while living on Yoruba soil just because of the useless Ungrateful toxic Igbo cocumbine his dad had. The useless Ungrateful woman didn't train his child well. Since she trained him to be hateful towards the Yoruba, he and his mother should go to the southeast to go seek for political position there. You can't insult Yoruba while living on Yoruba soil! The nerves!

The Yoruba always say that a home that's got peace and harmony, the bastard has yet to develop. We know the bastard. Chinedu Rhodes who eventually disgraced his father!

Meanwhile, away from the untrained useless toxic Ipob terrorist chinedu child, Sanwo olu's track records both before and after he became a governor are unbeatable by anyone. He's currently the best governor in the country, thus there's no need for a change. All what the incompetent useless Chinedu knows is to insult Yoruba daily. Useless untrained child.

Also, those toxic useless Ipobs should go elect the useless incompetent Chinedu in their SE region like they've always elected useless leaders in their region. Don't dare dabble in our indigenous politics if you love your life because others don't dabble into your indigenous politics, even as you always elect useless leaders!

The Document you are holding and raving over is a 99 year leasehold that can be revoked at any time by the State Governor or by the Landowners if you fail to pay them their Land rent regularly


We beg you to refuse to pay your Land rent so you can know who the owners of Lagos are when they take back their Land

This thread like many others are filled with people that don't read at all just impromptu responses to topics.

Fyi, please check the Portugal map on their coast you will find another city named Lagos which has been in existence long time before the Portuguese people reached Lagos in circa1600 ad.

Why did they named Eko Lagos? It was recorded in our 1960 primary school history class that the coastal areas of the Eko Islands resembles that of the city of Lagos in Portland and so the Portuguese sailors begin to call it Lagos.

So many other cities of the world has been named by the European explorers to suit their exploration activities and purposes of remembering those locations in their voyages.

I think the world is currently enjoying a population filled with people that could not navigate to the truth and true knowledge.

Bible predicted that knowledge will increase truly but of what use when it is not well appreciated by the people for their betterment.
