Same way Americans and Isrealis are hated. People hate people who are better than them

MiztaDynameek:
Like they always say, Yoruba and hausa find it very difficult to betray their own brothers irrespective of the particular state they are from.

But you see the ibo people, they can betray their own family let alone another ibo man from another state that is not their own state.

I think this 2023 election in general should teach them a lesson for them to learn to unite within themselves so that they can come out stronger in 2027 or 2031.

They should use the next 8 years to rebuild and unite themselves.

Who cares

You and your OGA Pack and go
Cameroon is not far

Skyview01:
Gbadebo, I will not advise you to go that route of self-denial, congratulate the winner if you lose, and move on. The margin is wide and you have the next four years to prepare and endear yourself to the Lagosians. Play the role of a true opposition and come back again.

Next time, tell your mother to stay in the background, it makes you look like a mummy's boy.

Your response is utterly otiose!
Vote for whoever you like. Don't make enemies while you're at it because there's life after the elections..

chukxie:
Anyone that says anything contrary to what your itchy ears crave is automatically Igbo, right? Isn't the LP candidate a Lagosian? Isn't he a Yoruba man?

chukxie:
Utter gibberish! Is the LP governorship candidate not a Lagosian? Is he an Igbo man? Una mumu never reach?

Guber Election: Oby Ezekwesili Blasts Tinubu, Sanwo-Olu Over Attack On Igbos In Lagos

Nigeria's former Minister of Education, Oby Ezekwesili took to her Twitter handle to criticize President-elect, Bola Tinubu and the Lagos state governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, over the attack meted out during the governorship and House of assembly elections in Lagos state today March 18, IGBERETV reports.

Her post on Twitter reads;

https://twitter.com/obyezeks/status/1637128500829200386?s=19[/quote]Pat Utomi, Okonjo Iweala and cerebral Igbo like Ezekwesili surely will weigh-in someday on this matter.
You tell a householder you are set to take over his household (like the Igbo trumpet that Lagos is no man’s land even when they are not the indigenous settlers of Lagos) and you expect him to hand over the keys to the door to you!
The Igbo are typically noisy, boisterous and grossly rude and not strategic enough to get along with others in an equal partnership. Just because they have made strides in their business endeavors living in Lagos is no reason to set about the same way they did previously in the North pre civil war which made the indigenous North put them in their place! I wish them well!
The South-South they have conscripted into Biafra Map are now set to take up The Senate Presidency. The other geopolitical zones apart from the SE who trusts no one, are more at home with Akpabio a South-South Nigerian than they would be with Kalu an Igbo🤔. Visit the internet and listen to what each of them had to say on critical issues before now.
The Igbo seriously need to tell themselves some home truth culled from Baba Chinua Achebe writings when he famously scripted as follows:-
“I will be the first to concede that the Igbo as a group is not without its flaws. Its success can and did carry deadly penalties: the dangers of hubris, overweening pride, and thoughtlessness, which invite envy and hatred or, even worse, than can obsess the mind with material success and dispose it to all kinds of crude showiness. There is no doubt at all that there is a strand in contemporary Igbo behavior that can offend by its noisy exhibitionism and disregard for humility and quietness.”

Truth is only those hand picked by Tinubu can run Lagos I don't even see the point of having elections in the state however what happens when Tinubu is no more who would take the mantle? i feel Dangote with his refinery in Lagos and his wealth status would be the next influential figure in Lagos politics though i might be wrong

Just as sad as the election malpractice that Nigeria is renowned for -- is Seun's decision to let rabid urchin agitators run amok, unchecked on his pro-APC Nairaland.
