There has not been a federal presence in lagos for the past 12 years now. Dangote would bring the necessary  Federal presence into lagos, and moreso by 2015 we would be having a northern president that would also work in favour of lagos too.

ASL33:

Knowall are you a lagos yoruba or from another state. Will you like Dangote to be the governor of your Oyo state(u grew up there from one of your posts).

I think people are just missing the effin point.

Mr. Dangote has every right to run for governor if he meet the eligibility requirements; residential requirements happen to be one of them. However, let the polls decide if he would be governor or not. Please stop the bickering and face the fact.

That is not how it is done in Nigeria. Everyone goes to their father's village to contest, simple. Let Kano be the first to break that tradition or Enugu, as we know these people will never do it. So why demand that of Yoruba's? What you wont take in your father's house dont go to another person's house and demand it. You are Ogoni, can you fathom a Yoruba coming to say he wants to be governor of your state, with all the oil resources and lead all the militants there? Abegi

eku_bear:

If anything, dude is incompetent. Wasn't he struggling a few years back? If you give your typical small businessman in Nigeria  a monopoly like Dangote was given, I bet more than 70% of them will do better than him.

manny4life:


Go to your father village is the same mentality holding Nigerians backwards. You and I very well know that would the possibility of him doing that is slim, but my question is, just because it's unacceptable, isn't it legal?

debosky:

Calling him incompetent is quite a stretch. While he did benefit from government patronage, you don't get billions of dollars in investment from foreign banks while being incompetent.

eku_bear:

How hard is it to fck up a monopoly? Of course you'll loans and investment. However, that is no measure of competence.

If I discover a gold mine in my back yard, I'll get lots of people willing to give me money to extract the resource. But this doesn't suggest any competence on my own part. . . purely dumb luck.

TewMuch:

That is how it works. Democracy works in different ways and every one modifies it to suit thier country. There is no one size fits all for democrazy. Whatever works for a country is what will happen. Can you let a Yoruba man become governor in your State? And let him decide your resources? Please answer the question first.

manny4life:

If he has the feat to run for governor, by all means, Besides, Lagos is a multicultural state; a state with different diversities. True it's no one size fits all democracy, but I'm still insisting that cultural barriers shouldn't stop a candidate.

TewMuch:

Will you be okay for a Yoruba man to become Governor, dont go off the tangent and try to make excuses for why Lagos is different. Lagos is by and LARGE MAJORLY YORUBA! As your village sits on so much oil wealth and your people are fighting like mad to control their resources is it okay for me to come and manage it for you? Considering Nigerian thieving politicians, especially one that has nothing in common with you?

debosky:

You're being extremely simplistic - no one will give someone unable to prove cash flow, sound management and a clear and definitive plan.

He's not incompetent in any sense.

afam4eva:

As long as that's where the yoruba was born or have lived most of his life.

eku_bear:

Anyone is permitted to run; nobody is claiming he should not run. Doesn't mean he has a snowball's chance in hell of winning, though.

Let him run in Ekiti, this Lagosian disagree's with you. Even an Ekiti man is not allowed to become Governor in Lagos.

manny4life:


I'm not running off tangent; I was only saying "besides" lagos is highly multicultural. I don't care whether yoruba or not, if you have the feat to do so, again by all means. I know I would not go to yoruba land to do so, but if he chose to, that is the option, let the voters decide. Lagos has eligibility requirements to become a governor, if he decided he met each and every one of  them, go for it and same applies to you. If you think you met the eligibility requirement to be a governor of my state, by all mean. Just because his running does not mean you nor I will vote for him, but at least that's the chose he embarked on.

ASL33:

I know Tinubu is not from Ekiti but he is not from Lagos either. Do you have any answer why he became the governor of lagos if an Ekiti man cannot be.

jason123:

Joker. How can you tell the difference?

TewMuch:

Who is Tinunbu's family? Is the Tinunbu name an Osun name? You wouldnt know anyway. He was backed by a powerful Lagos family, and they said he belongs to them. If your father claims you, who are we to say you are not his child?
