Sentiments aside, the Oba has no right to coerce any one to vote for a particular candidate. You don't tell full grown men and women who have brains to think for themselves and rights bestowed upon them by the laws of the land, who to vote for.

This is simple common sense and it has been said here several times but how it still eludes some of the tribal bigots here amazes me.

Some people can't see that most portions of the first report were in quote, hence, it was most likely true.
Unlike this that is a summarised narration of transpired event

I am an Igbo

Please remove this post it is a disrespect for our yoruba brothers and sisters

It is totally wrong to speak disrespectfully to paramount ruler of Lagos

i respect you for this comment, nice 1.

sammyj:
I said it in my previous comment that this is a propaganda from PDP and their demonic supporters !!!!

they want change in Nigeria, yet they are still supporting continuity in Lagos, but we say no, power must change hand..vote out apc nd deir bunch of lairs nd decievers..

freeman11:

when modesty cries out, shameless f00ls like you do not comprehend. i have as much a large heart to take or even create any heat but as experience would teach; "whether you are a fool or not, you comments proves it".
i stayed in Lagos all through my growing years and grew used to the sights of headless bodies on the road... i still wonder where the heads went to

Hahaha.

The methuselah is telling us tales by moonlight story.

Don't mistake Okija for Lagos.

It is obvious that your brain has atrophied
No wonder your lines are incongruent. Classical symptoms of a brain going senile.

ngcars:
Those who do not respect their own father will not hesitate to insult our father's. It is not by force for everybody to live in Lagos. Go back to ya village and allow us to live peacefully. nonsense

Fool!! lagos is a no man's land.. if u can't accept that fact then kindly locate a lagoon and jump into it.

datribune:



I hear many igbo on & off dis forum make potentially dangerous comments like "lagos is a no-man's land". It is silly talks like dis dat gives d impression of a tribe eager to dominate even their hosts.
d way d igbo hav gone about attacking a revered leader & former governor of lagos state even though he is not on d ballot gives d impression dat they ar ready to risk d continued development of lagos by helping to install a PDP govt just to get back at Tinubu who they hold responsible 4 their Azikiwe's loss at d polls.
I don't rate Agbaje, a tax evader wit no track record of public service above Ambode's experience.

If I say Tinubu is a thief, and he has indeed stolen, will I be telling lies

nzeobi:
Oba please remain apolitical, do not support any of the candidates openly

I am Yoruba and l endorse your opinion.

Obas, if they respect themselves, should NEVER endorse any candidate........Just like Pastors should NEVER endorse any candidate.
What they should be doing is "educating the people" on what they need to demand from the Government.

[size=14pt]But we must not forget so quickly that it was the same ignoble Jonathan who went on a spree of hopping from one Oba to another, BRIBING them with $250,000 and fleets on brand new SUV's!......like they can compel anyone to vote a particular candidate?[/size]

Finally, Igbos should stop stoking trouble everywhere.
How can the Oba of a cosmopolitan place like Lagos issue threat against one of his subjects?
Assuming that was to even be the case, l will expect the Igbos t be wise enough not to turn such thing into a media frenzy!
They should/would go quietly to the Oba and seek "clarification" since such thing would be an aberration and should not ever happen under normal situation.

When trouble siddon jeje, make yanga no keep trying to wake it up o!

Nuff said.

That is why they( Hausas) kill the Ndigbos in the North at will...coz they don't know when to adjust the senses when it comes sensitive issues like this... Even in SA... Their gragra is just too much...

Igbo will never learn and know how to live in a foreign land, that explain why they r backward and last in order of things in nigeria

wasmilebags:

talk you wan kill your wife or wat are u tinking of who cares if u hate the yorubas go back to where you come from omo iran kiran

seriously, i thought you were a human being, until i saw you pix/post - anyway they are both the same.

It is high time we replace the throne of Oba of Lagos with Monarchs of substance and acceptance, one with constructive eloquence that can be able to convince and persuade to vote at this 21st century.As planned to be a MEGA city, it needs an OMEGA Monarch to start.
A character and bridge builder like Honourable BRF who always apologises when he goes the other way round.Still know these are massive electorates. The game is to win not to PRIDE.
We should desist from fence builders to experience the wind of change.

Too bad for lagos state. Imagine if Oba really made those statements. Politics

raumdeuter:
The Oba owes no one any explanation. He said it and he meant every word of what he said. The message is clear

I just advise those who he addressed to make the necesary adjustment cos when it starts now, Na you go bear the brunt

Oba Akiolu, For saying this, I have found a new level of respect for you.

Any Shidioma, Shidioke or Shiwere who wants electoral post should face Aba, Umuahia or Enugu

BTW this is the sign of things to come in Lagos and the entire Southwest after the election

lf he said that and meant it as you agreed, why the damage control
He is entitled to his opinion as is everyone,but this misinformed, reckless rant might come back and bite him in the a.ss
It's so uncouth for a royal father.
A father does not take sides with any of his children in public when they are in opposition to each other.
He should have run things behind the scenes
This is democracy not the local dictatorial monarchy he presides over
Igbos have been living and prospering in Lagos for decades; their long-standing success has nothing to do with Fashola or any particular political party
The peace and success lgbos enjoy in Lagos have always been down to their hard work and the hospitality of the Yoruba nation in the southwest, not just Lagos, lest the Oba take credit.
l hope this unfortunate drivel does not turn out to harm Ambode's chances

The disjointed story about the Lagoon says it all.
Does it make sense?
When in the history of Lagos has the lagoon swallowed people on its own for being against the 'interest of Lagos'? What is the 'interest of Lagos' in the Oba's opinion.

As for Rochas Okorocha, you should ask him what he has done to make sure that the people of Imo state specifically stop moving out of the state in search of their livelihood. What investments has he attracted? What jobs has he created? What has he done to make Imo condusive for industialisation? You see why he will be kicked out on Saturday?

Y re u igbo so full of hatred n bitterness. So d pdp man is better than him right? if ohakim n odenwa & rest of ur useless govs have done d right thing this wont be happening.

Stop reading meanings into things. Where you there when he made the alleged statements? How do you know this was concocted for damage control?






We don't like the hausas, We don't like the yorubas, yet we populate their states in search of our livelihood ~ Governor Rochas Okorocha

I didn't want to dash of and react to the alleged caustic statement of His Royal Majesty, the Oba of Lagos, owing to deepest respect for traditional instuition and the profound respect my yoruba brothers and sisters have for their monarch.

The Oba was quoted to have said any Igbo who voted for Jimi Agbaje would die in the lagoon before seven days

I remember that the Ooni of Ife made it abundantly clear to President Goodluck jonathan, when he went to canvass for the Oni's support, that yoruba kings don't t tell the people whom to vote for!!!

Now the king has endorsed Mr Akinwunmi Ambode, I don't know which report to believe: the Oba Oni or Oba Akinolu!!!

That is to tell you how tongue twisting and 2-faceted "some tr..e can be. the Igbo say what they want and go for it, but that cannot be said of others

Lagoon and throne shit Bleep oba of Lagos. I'm using this to appeal to every Igbo in Lagos to vote pdp.

eagleeye2:

If I say Tinubu is a thief, and he has indeed stolen, will I be telling lies

If u say dat i would assume dat u get ur news rumour frm Okupe's Twitter handle because if u didn't u would know dat to date d only accusation against d Jagaban was d politically orchestrated allegation dat he had a foreign account. dis allegation by d OBJ govt was found to be spurious as he had d account b4 becoming governor of lagos state. ALL allegations against Tinubu ar baseless & unproven unlike Bode George, d leader & godfather of PDP in lagos state who is an ex-convict dat was jailed for corruption. Jk is Just Kidding - Ambode 4 lagos

irohadis:
The hatred I see here is at the least alarming. What kind of people are we? I am Igbo and I live in Lagos. Let me remind anyone including the Oba that I owe my presence to no one. I am a citizen of Nigeria and Lagos. I am not an immigrant anywhere in my own country. It is my right as much as it is the right of every Nigerian.

Here they come again!

I guess you dont know that even in America,apart from being a Citizen.....there are Indigenes!

That is why you will hear them call the "Bush Family", Texan Indigenes because their ORIGINS is from Texas.


Yes, you are Citizen of Nigeria ....but you are NOT an indigene of Lagos!
When the Chips are down, we will remind you where your Grandfathers came from.

BTW:
What is all these duplicity by Igbos?
One day you are Jews, the next day you are Biafrans, the next day you are South/South, the next day you want to be Lagosians?

You want to secede.....yet you want to belong,....both at the same time!

There is nowhere that says a Father shouldnt take sides.

If you have 2 sons, One is prudent and one is spendthrift and someone decides to give your family money for a business venture wouldnt you support the prudent son?

Both Agbaje and Ambode are sons to Akiolu and the monarch chose one of them

In the Bible it was said Jacob have I loved and Esau have I hated

Their father Isaac openly loved Esau more than Jacob.

Ibos have been living and prospering in Lagos because their host allowed them and accommodated them. They should keep doing their business and not interfere with the politics

Billyonaire:

Enough of your rant, everyone is an immigrant in Lagos even the Oba. Lagos is a metroplitan City and no man's land. The population of non-yorubas is greater than Yorubas in Lagos. This land, is for all, and shall for ever remain...NO MAN'S LAND.

my brother with no apology you are an ignorant for this comment.

REALODUA:

I would like to know who is backward; those create their own fortunes or those who rely on the sweat of others for everything. Grow brains...

The igbo re d only major tribe dat re ashamed 2 do igbo movies. Even in getting an igbo channel on Dstv took a long time because they lack content. Some of them re even ashamed 2 bear their local names. They prefer 2 be called names like: Jane Thomas, John Johnson.

superstar1:
[s]Yes Oba made the statement, what will happen.

It is either you live with it or you go back to the gully eroded land of setting sun.

He is on his land and can say and do as he likes.

With or without your vote, Ambode will be the governor.

JK is still our son and you will forever be foreigners and shall be dealt with accordingly.

I thought you are 80% of Lagos, you can as well march to the Oba's palace and demand for his dethronement. I doubt if any of you will return back to your enclave alive.

However, we are expecting your usual whining, shameless, lame, pathetic and emotional ultimatum[/s].

You sound very defeated, so you neanderthals from the shanty and slum region think you can use threats blackmail to force igbos to vote for you?

Its a pity you and your soon to be bastad oba are pained already, but more pains and shocker are on the way for you for you after april 11polls.

When did Oba of lagos became the royal father and the campaipn cordinator of the APC? in lagos?

Still wonder why a tribe should allow a political thug to be their Oba or whatever they call him
