The Mayor of Brampton, Patrick Brown, has stated his admiration for Lagos State when he visited in the year 2007.

Brown said this at a townhall meeting hosted by the Coalition of Nigerian Canadian Interest Groups based in Canada to honour the 2023 Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi.

As seen in a video posted late Saturday by a tweep, Wale Adedayo, tweeting as @Mario9jaa, Obi was seen standing beside Brown as he addressed the cheering audience.

Brown said, “I went to Nigeria in 2007. I went to Lagos and I fell in love with the country. Two years ago, I went back and once again, I toured the country. Anytime you visit Nigeria, you’re saying to yourself, ‘When can I go back?”

He stated that he was “blown away” by the nation’s movie industry, Nollywood.

“There’s a lot of love for Nigeria in my city,” he said.

Also, a member of the Provincial Parliament in Brampton North, Graham McGregor, tweeting as @BramptonGraham, on Sunday, wrote, “In Brampton, we’ve got one of the fastest growing Nigerian-Canadian communities. I’ve spoken with a few people here that are from Brampton and we’ve got a lot of exciting things going on.”

He noted the importance of building an “open, inclusive, welcoming economy for everybody. And to the connections we’re building here with the Nigerian-Canadian community, we want to make sure Nigerians are part of it.”

Illiteracy is a cancer!

Deliberate ignorance is a demon.

I read the article to see the praises for Tinubu and saw nothing.

The Major toured Nigeria and said he fell in love with Nigeria.

LegendHero:


If your papa no fit help me, wetin come concern you about how I chose to live my life?

When your family is broke, you don’t go about broke shaming other people. Why will you be mocking someone in your image?

Zxcvbnmghtr:
The hilarious part was when Peter Obi was clapping while the mayor praised Lagos under Tinubu's governorship.

Slytiger:

I just burst out laughing when nanu begin clap

SoNature:

You can go and commit suicide when an Igbo man becomes your president.
You only have one vote.

LegendHero:


I thought they said Lagos is a slum and nobody will speak of Lagos since Tinubu destroyed it in 2007.

So this mayor praising same Tinubu Lagos in the front of bitter Obi should be the tenth wonder of the world.

Godwin4444:
we will rather split into 3000 countries than for an igbo to rule me

jmoore:

He praised Nigeria. 'I fell in love with the country' were his words.

Tenth wonder to those who don't know the difference between country and state. Even una Buhari was also a wonder.

Slytiger:

He praised Lagos specially even though he also praised Nigeria. Although you Obidients love to bad mouth the country and trash it at every opportunity.

jmoore:

I don't have time for those who lack comprehension. Una go read headline without reading the whole article.
Is Lagos a country? Make una rest!
