On Sunday, April 5, 2015, the Oba of Lagos, Rilwan Akiolu, caused a stir with his statement that the Igbos in the state should either vote for the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate, Akinwunmi Ambode, or prepare to perish in the Lagoon.

I see it as a challenge to the Igbos to copy the Hospitality of the Yorubas n Apply it in their states too

What the Oba said is an act of "hospitality", right?...

SPOT ON & TIMELY

I think the matter should be allowed to rest. The oba himself has acted foolishly and everyone knows what stuff he is made of.

U dont allow a pig to drag u to the mud. People wont be able to tell the diff betweenbu and the pig.

Nothing.

Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks.

I hold no grudge against the Oba.

Did I call it an act nw, I said a Challenge..like he challenged igbos. It's my view..

Next time learn that most abuse/insult/critcs is a challenge. Your Enemy/opposition wants to b beta than him/her

U guys shud stop saying rubbish every tribes in Nigeria is hospitable apart from sm islamist tribes... ppl jeep saying igbo's re moving to yoruba land because it is hospitable, let them make one part of igbo land Nigerias capital and let's put the yorubas to the test to know if there claims abt igbos not being hospitable is true?

The statement is superb

The statement is great

Correction: The Oba's speech is not " anti-igbo. It is more of an expression of anger towards the igbos over the perceived opposition of a majority of the igbo community in Lagos to his preferred candidate.

An anti-igbo speech will contain expressions like "hate", "igbos are bad", "igbos are unwanted" etc.

It was an unguarded unfortunate statement non the less.

something!
