The Palace Makes Further Clarification On The Statement By The Oba Of Lagos. by Shoutozone: 2:51pm On Apr 06, 2015 |
My attention has been drawn to a publication in a national newspaper where HRM Oba Riliwanu Akinolu was alleged to have threatened Igbos in Lagos to make them vote for Ambode. Last Sunday, all honorary Eze Ndigbos in Lagos paid a courtesy call to HRM Oba Akinolu. At the meeting the visitors praised the Oba for his fatherly support for and cooperation with Igbos in. Lagos. They assured him of their continued good neighborliness with other tribes in Lagos and support everything that'll further strengthen that harmony. Oba Akiolu on his part acknowledged the enviable performance of Governor Fashola and his contribution to the growth of investments in Lagos. He gave the assurance that he is not disturbed or angry with South-East and South- South votes for President Jonathan as perceived by the Eze Ndigbos. The Obas thereafter called on the Igbos chiefs to show appreciation to Lagos State by supporting his candidate Mr. Ambode for continuity of excellence as they have earlier promised. He assured them of his continued support and assistance where needed and the meeting ended with the traditional breaking of kolas, alligator pepper, and bitter kola and pouring of liberation on the ground. It was within this context that that the tradition of Lagos with regard to the lagoon came up. It was noted that whoever works against the throne and the interest and peaceful co-existence of Lagos would end up in the lagoon as per tradition. 2.Oba Akiolu stated further that the Igbo people have not betrayed the throne. Lagos has also not betrayed the Igbo people. Lagos has done so much to make the Igbos comfortable and to prosper. For this, we expect reciprocal respect and understanding. The Oba of Lagos prays that the Lagoon and the throne will continue to bless and protect all those who reside and visit Lagos. 3. Oba Akiolu is the father of all irrespective of tribe, religion or political persuasion. In Lagos, we have an old traditional proverb that relates to the Lagoon. The Lagoon is unique to Lagos. The proverb stresses the need for unity and understanding when you do business in an environment and in this case when you live and do business in Lagos. Oba Akiolu prays for peace for the land of Lagos and prosperity for all its inhabitants. Signed: Chief Lateef Aderibigbe Ajose, Opeluwa of Lagos April 6, 2015 |

Why will Igbo's show appreciation to Lagos State? |
Re: The Palace Makes Further Clarification On The Statement By The Oba Of Lagos. by raumdeuter: 2:59pm On Apr 06, 2015 |
The issue has been settled, The Ibos have agreed to cooperate “For the Igbos and others in Lagos, they should go where the Oba of Lagos head to. When they were coming to the state, they didn’t come with all their houses. But now they have properties in the state. So they must do my bidding. And that is the bidding of the ancestors of Lagos and God.” |

Is Jimi Agbaje not a Yoruba man? The way this gangster Oba is portraying Jimi, it seems Jimi is a Ghanaian. |

What the Oba needs to do is issue a clear statement denying or confirming the allegations. I believe the statement may have been taken out of context. I do not want to believe that someone in his position will make such unguarded utterances. 4 Likes |

Shoutozone:How can you openly canvass support for a particular candidate, then turn around to make the above statement? Is that not contradictory? Smh! By the way...this rebuttal looks fake! 1 Like |

raumdeuter: ^^^ u can't coerce anybody to vote for ur prefered candidate in a democracy. The Oba needs some schooling to tilt him to modern realities. Now he can go and die as i'm quite sure the igbos wont vote for APC. I wanna see him do his worst. Afterall u have yorubas living peacefully in different states of the federation with no one forcefully asking them to vote a particular candidate. |
Re: The Palace Makes Further Clarification On The Statement By The Oba Of Lagos. by raumdeuter: 3:39pm On Apr 06, 2015 |
Iykopee: Did you school Arthur Eze or did you school Jonathan when they made their statements? Let Ibos vote who they want as long as Ambode is governor. Obas has said the mind of most Lagos indigenes and that is a death knell for Agbaje. Lets see how he would win the election 1 Like |

raumdeuter: ^^^ Whether JK win or not it shudn't degenerate to any manner of threat for choosing to vote JK. Afterall he is a yoruba man, so why single out the Igbos for elimination whereas some yorubas will vote JK come what may? Ok others are good for the kill but the yorubas who voted for same JK wont get same treatment, right? This is not happening anytime soon. I dare him to bring it on if JK wins. Now i wud like to read where GEJ and Arthur Eze threatened to kill people of a particular tribe for refusing to vote their candidates respectively.. 1 Like |
