Sure, even you knows that it is ridiculous. You are trying to be politically correct, and you know it is something you will not take that is why you will not do it.

Just because it's ridiculous doesn't make illegal, Please correct me if I'm wrong.

@Tewmuch
It's not fair now. Allow your fellow yoruba people to be contest in lagos state. Are they not your people again. Remember they joined you to fight the Igbos that were laying claim to the governorship position in Lagos.

ASL33:

Unless he was adopted, we all know he is not from Lagos. Ok what if the "Powerful Lagos Family" back an Ekiti man or an Hausa man will you revolt.?

They cant try it again because of the controversy over tinubu the woman was constantly harassed.

TewMuch:

Itsekiri man, everyone knows his father's compund. We know the families in Lagos. Dont worry, we know how to weed out imposter's. Leave that alone. There is a special Yoruba way and they all know.lol.

And what is the special yoruba way Was it not his second term people found out that he is not a lagosian? Even at that, he still won because he was backed by afenifere.

There's a sayiing that what's good for the goose is good for the gander. If a yoruba man that's not an indegene of lagos can become governor of lagos state. there's no reason why any one else can't.

They are my people but that is just how it works. They have other position's in the state and no one bats an eyelid. But the governorship is Lagosian. I cannot say i want to go to Ekiti and contest. Am i mad? From where?

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.

When we get to the gander, we would have established that all the Yoruba's have become extinct.

Lol at the bolded, yet he still call himself a Yoruba man. I laugh like OBJ.

Don't be suprise when the "powerful Family" will adopt Dangote and his entire household. Money speaks and bullshi*t follows.

Never say Never expecially in Nigerian politics.

Only yorubanised people! . He needs to understand the people he wants to rule over.

That isn't how things work in practice though. Ultimately, you have to get people to vote for you to win. Seems pretty unlikely to me that a Hausa, Igbo or whatever running there can win.

As I said earlier. . . anybody can contest, not everyone can win.

Why do you think so.

Let's not even bring up Fashola's background, lol.

Names like "Fashola". . . I dunno if Lagos Yoruba people do "Ifa"->"Fa." But I know at least one place in Yorubaland where that is done

Fashola is awori.

How will you get the votes to win?

jason123:

How do you know definitively?

Do you have brain at all. Let's assume no single yoruba man will vote for an Igbo man. What about the milllions of Igbo population in Lagos. pls think before you spew gibberish on here.

Is Fash not from lagos? TewMuch your arguement is being defited by those who know. Is Fash from Itshekiri or Ughrobo?

eku_bear:

How do you know definitively?

Are the Yoruba God's and custom's specific to an area? People bear the same names from different area's. It is not by name please. There are also Ijebu lagosian's by the way. Their area is Ikorodu. And there are Egun's. So it is not only Awori. But the families are known.

Trust me, I know!

Out of 18 million people in lagos, the igbos are probably 3 million. In fact there are places you would not find one igbo man like isale eko, deep epe and Aja, Inside badagry etc

Running in any election is about consensus building, talking to d right people, don't be even suprise fashola might be part of d consensus, after has done his 2 terms,  he might jettison his greedy  & selfish mentorer and hook up with new forces,  Dangote if he is lucky he might head such consortium, in such a scenerio he would win hands down. Anything can happen in politics.

I don't think there are enough Igbo there to win. What fraction of the voting population (or population, period) there is Igbo, in your estimation? Clearly not up to even 30%. . . . probably even 15% is a stretch.

jason123:

Pls stop this ignorance. Igbos cannot be 3 million out of 18 million lagosians. Let's just assume it's true. Is 3 million not big enough to win an election in lagos? Or are you assuming every yoruba person will vote for one candidate?

I think he has a right to contest (considering that he has lived there long enough) but, the electorate has their choice to make.

The question is: will he dare,

At the end of the day, there is no point talking here about it online. If they believe they have the #s to get it done, then start organizing now. Start winning House of Assembly positions, etc, etc. Build some political infrastructure to then one day take the governorship.

Of course, the reality is that the #s simply do not exist to get this done. Otherwise we'd see action rather than talk.

Okay even if the igbo man is 50 percent of the population ( Assuming there only 2 ethnic groups yoruba and igbo) and lets say 8 million out of the 9 million igbos vote for thr igbo man, he would NOT still win because yorubas from other surrounding states and benin republic would vote in lagos. Apart from the obvious lager out turn of yorubas because of the perceived insecurity.

Very true, During election times some igbos return to their respective villages.

How on earth will you win with only 17% of the population? So you'll win governor with 17%, but cannot even win a senate slot? Or have a good fraction of the House?

Hollow #s, hollow words, no action.

You guys have started with your propaganda. During election Igbo man goes to the east. During censors Igbo man goes back to the east. Do you have any evidence or is just based on heresy.
