If Jesus tarries.. Kemi will become UK pm..

Never. She is appealing to a part of the electorate that will use and dump her as soon as a "white" knight appears.

She is disliked within her own party and she can't go to Reform, which better suits her right wing politics, because thst Party already has a lunatic like Nigel Farage that rules the roost.

Kudos to her for surviving these last elections sha, her disgrace is only being delayed if she doesn't repent from her "I am an immigrant but" style of politics.

They are all in Lagos claiming Lagosians, Eko boys, City Boys


Go to their birth communities in Ikirun Osun, Akoko, Ayingba, Ikare, Ilesa, Modakeke, Iwo, Iremo, etc where they come from, Fulani herdsmen have taken over but they will be pointing accusing fingers at Igbos claiming Igbos have all left their region, funny people

They are migrating to a place where their ancestral language is spoken, what is wrong in that? They certainly can lay more claim to the place the've migrated to than those whose ancestral language is different from where they have migrated to.

LadyExcellency:
Imagine forming the Igbo political party in Lagos State. All hail will be let loose.

There is, it's called Labour Party.

I jus dey play..

Stone03:


Reno is sincere by owning up that Obidients have brought him to nothing and that's why his anger against Peter Obi. Reno lost all the source of his livelihood the time he began messing with the Obidients. All he is doing now is simply seeking for a revenge, and the more he does that, he even makes Obi popular. His school challenge made people know that Lagos has the worst school structures in Nigeria and Sanwolu began to seek for loan to rehabilitate lagos state schools. Obidients are the bomb, you mess with us, we leave you with an irreparable damage

You are wrong, Reno has made it his mission to challenge Obidients (via Peter Obi) because Obidients foolishly and pathetically threatened his young daughter.

He can't be that poor if he is offering to put certain monies in a neutral account, I believe 25 million naira, if Obidients can bring proof of things Peter Obi has done that they foolishly claimed. By the way till today Obidients are yet to prove him wrong to claim said monies.

Obidients are not the bomb, they are the sh1ts as Reno has proved by continuously fact checking them and him receiving insults and abuses rather than being counter fact checked.

scholes23:
And we're here fighting cos we don't want someone from a particular tribe to rule Nigeria meanwhile in the UK, we never hear say we don't want people from Africa to hold public office

No reasonable person ever says they don't want someone from a particular tribe to rule, they might not want candidates of bullying and abusive supporters to rule which us different.

By the way, in that same UK, a fair few people still have the mindset that they don't want people with foreign ancestry to rule, they don't just say it out for people to hear.

Rishi Sunak for example was initially blocked by rank and file Tories from assuming the Party's leadership and it was given to a rank incompetent and very inferior Liz Truss who proceeded in less tham a month to destroy the economy. First time Sunak goes to the country for election, the party's majority MP's was blitzed with lots of Tories voting Reform or other candidates.

So don't hold UK up to anybody as an example of decency or perfection as regards the disregarding of ancestry of candidates.

Mbanda:
Some parts of Rivers and Delta states speak Igbo too yet, you yorubas say they are not Igbo.

Who said Anioma and Ikwerre are not Ndigbo?

They themselves can determine what they are, whatever other people call them is not their problem.

RodgersAkpafu:


Una Don start again
what I have said is the position taken by anyone with common sense

Only a two state solution is rhe solution to this crisis
Zionists (Bibi and co) and other terrorists (Hamas) are both trying to play smart with it
it's just too bad that innocent ppl are being caught up in the mess.

What Hamas did was reprehensible
What Israel did and still doing is ALSO reprehensible (the civilian casualty part
)

The ordinary Palestinian have suffered so much and deserve better......
They are human beings too, not cockroaches...
Too bad they are being used as pawns in geopolitical games being played between deluded actors (zionists vs Arab)

Well said, the current "solution" is clearly not working.

Israelis don't know when the next attack is coming from, ordinary Palestines can't do anything about The zionist attacking them in revenge instead of doing their due diligence to focus on. Hamas or Hezbollah.

Same as with apartheid, unnatural situations must and will eventually be evened out. The sooner the better.

Realtruth2023:

There is freedom of speech, but it is no license to talk carelessly.

If only Obidients could understand this.

Mbanda:

Secondly, Lagos indigenes has come out to say they don't want to identified with you lots again. Why are you lots still attaching them by force?

I am intrigued by this, what language do Lagos indigenes speak and who do they not want to associate with?

Mr man I don't mention Lagos or Ndigbo please not everybody mention you talk rubbish please I beg you mind your mouth okay good luck

You don't have to sir, Nairaland has been relatively quiet of late, Labour Party wins in UK and suddenly threads are flying left, right and centre.

There are no children here, well there are those with a childish mindset called Obidients, we know what this is all about.

NLCreator:
Britain's Labour Party leader Keir Starmer has come under fire for failing to publicly thank his Nigerian counterpart, Mr. Peter Obi, whose tweet of endorsement ended 14 years of right-wing conservative rule. This supernatural feat has left many scratching their heads, especially since Obi couldn't help himself win the 2023 Nigerian presidential election, though supporters blame election rigging.

"This is sad. After all that Peter Obi has done for him, he couldn't even say 'thank you'," said an angry-looking Chukwudi, sipping a cup of garri in his 2-by-2 shop in Abia. "For 14 years, they couldn't achieve anything. It took Obi a single tweet to end the conservative run. But what did Obi get in return? Such an ungrateful fellow!" Chukwudi continued, as he updated his Twitter bio to "Expert at Installing Governments."

Meanwhile, local tomato hawker Chimamanda found the situation even more tragic for democracy. "I supported Starmer's Labour because Peter Obi instructed us to. I campaigned for the party with all my strength here in Awka. I gave away free tomatoes to the people of Anambra with Starmer's picture on them to show my support. Nothing says 'Vote Labour' like a juicy tomato with a British politician's face on it!. They won because of our support. The least they could do after emerging victorious was to appreciate our efforts and thank Peter Obi. But because we're black, they didn't find us worthy. Bunch of racist betrayers!"

However, some observers suggested that it might be too early to draw conclusions, speculating that Starmer could have thanked Obi privately. "Guys, I don't think it's right to conclude Obi was betrayed just yet," said Pastor Ogbu. "It's true Obi endorsed him publicly, and Starmer ought to appreciate and thank Obi publicly as well, but it's possible he already did that in private and Obi is fine with it. Obi hasn't even complained. Let's wait for instructions and avoid the temptation of premature conclusions," he added, while checking his phone for any new secret endorsement deals on Twitter.

In an unexpected twist, reports have emerged that supporters of North Korea's supreme leader, Kim Jong-un, are now wooing Peter Obi for an endorsement to help the dictator win his next "election." "We have seen the power of Obi's tweets," said a North Korean spokesperson. "If he can end 14 years of conservative rule in the UK with one tweet, imagine what he can do for our Supreme Leader. We are willing to pay him in nuclear warheads or unlimited bottles of Hero beer, whichever he prefers."

You no well Walahi, you no go make heaven for dis tin you right do.

We have some seriously talented people in this Nigeria sha.

This is excellent stuff, you have done well and should be paid for stuff like this.

Amah70:

In the bolded above, you lie even to your teeth.

How can you ignore crude oyel in the Niger delta region and sign on for what will make your region lose proceeds from crude oyel?

Insincerity and betrayal have kept you and others in a most dysfunctional country.

Other countries survive without crude oyel. If Ndi Niger delta want to align with Biafra and give them access to their crude oyel, that is OK as well.

Tell your senators to move the motion and I guarantee you, if my sitting senator is amongst those that votes against it, they are being recalled in less than 6 months with me spearheading the agitation.

Neckpresser101:


No body stops Yorubas from voting or getting voted for in SE


if you can come here and contest


una dey UK dey win Elections make person hear word

I wonder why any Ndi Yoruba will want to contest in ala igbo when Betty and Bianca were not allowed to. In Betty's case, in her own area.

Meti99:

Did they tell you they are still Yorubas?
They may not even understand the language

Regardless, they will always have Yoruba ancestry so your point is mute.

We are proud of all of them all, Ndi Yoruba, Ndi "Bendel" and Ndigbo MP's have had to work twice as hard to get where they are. Especially those not in safe London constituencies that have lots of black people.

I congratulate them all and pray the Lord blesseds their works and makes us Nigerians proud.

Amah70:


Great Britain is a country of unending restructuring of the country's political process.

You with your group in Nigeria may want to have a separate country wrestled to the ground by agitations from different quarters, and leave others go away for their own new countries where complainants are listened to and not imprisoned. The clouds are gathering in Nigeria.

You can thank Owelle for blocking the secession clause that Awo and Ahmadu Bello proposed.

By the way, I have no problems with whoever wants to break away (particularly now that Peter Obi post an election) doing so, I was just calling you out on using UK as an example of harmony.

If you want to breakaway, Nairaland is not where to complain if you haven't spoken to your Senators about them at least proposing a bill.

Finally, maybe Kanu shouldn't be urging people of other tribes to be killed and locations in ala Yoruba to be destroyed etc in his quest for secession, that's on him though.

Amah70:
UK has peaceful elections.


In Great Britain, if Scotland or Wales or Northern Ireland feels short-changed at any point, and asks for political changes or restructuring UK's political process, England and rest of the Uk listen to them..

You are quite wrong, why do you think there were problems in Northern Ireland not too long ago that it took the Americans and the good Friday agreement to help resolve?

Why are the Scottish National Party (until these last elections) and Plaid Cymru gaining ground.

Exactly because England (ergo Westminster) are not listening to the regions.

For a recent example, Scotland's "share" of the Brexit referendum suggested they wanted to stay in Europe and they are still angry till today that they haved to follow England/Westminster who opted to leave.

Find a better example for your agitation, the UK isn't a good one.

2elliot:
Imagine an Igbo man creates a party called "Igbo people in Yoruba land party", and then says that Yoruba land is home from home, and that everyone must embrace that reality and actively vote for them to become the leaders.

There was an "Ndigbo people in Yorubaland party", they just called in Labour party to hide face..... ... bikonu nwanne I jus dey play o, una well done.

On a serious note, I haven't met anyone especially Ndi Yoruba that thought the Yoruba party was a good idea. The man probably wants to start his political career and is using this poor idea as a means.

iwaeda:
Can Nigeria conduct UK kind of Elections?
- Results were real time, winners are known immediately.

Obidients were angry that INEC declared the results at 3am as soon as they manually collated it all.

Now you are here hailing the UK electoral commission for doing the exact same thing.

Who do una dis?

Gbogbowa:
We have voted Sunak out next is Biden.any one that recognise Tinubu fraudulent winning will be voted out. Kudos to Obidient UK

You are so powerful to vote Sunak out but powerless to vote Peter Obi in àbi?

If they removed all Obidients in UK's votes from Labour, Labour will still win by the handsome margin they did. Obidient votes in the UK elections were inconsequential, bikonu rest.

ALTERNATEID:
Wow! Kemi Adegoke Badenoch survived the shellacking that swept away the Conservative Party from power. She is very likely to emerge as the leader of the Conservative Party. All major media platforms in the UK are already projecting her as the next Tory leader.

Congratulations to her and other UK politician of Nigerian ancestry that won election to the House of Commons.

Kẹmi will never be Tory leader, she and Suella foolishly twerking for the hard core right wingers in the party, most of whom voted Reform anyway, will soon be pushed to the fringes of their party.

The Tories have learnt their lessons from this elections and are now in a furious race to head to right of centre seeing as Labour pushed them away from there, not a hope in hell they will allow divisive figures like the two I mentioned to drag them further to the right.

I am also not going to congratulate Kẹmi who is a liar (ok all politicians are) and a blatant opportunist that has no problem besmirching Nigeria to further get career.

Also, when you are derided so much by your opponents that they discuss stepping down for each other to kick you out, you must be an slowpoke which she is.

Kẹmi will end up on the back benches sooner rather than later and might at some point cross over to Reform with like minded imbeciles.

Cooning will never benefit anyone.

Promise47:
Chai ooh God why is Nigeria backward just look at UK election even foreigners are allowed to vote but Nigeria hmmm God anyway Good luck to Nigeria

Foreigners are not allowed to vote in British elections, only His Majesty's subjects, of which exists people of different races, are allowed to vote. This term of foreigners in this instance excludes Commonwealth and Irish citizens for historical reasons.

If Ndigbo's hadn't been allowed to vote in Lagos, which we all know is where you are going with this, pray tell how did Peter Obi win Lagos state in the Presidential elections?

WINON1:
Making sure that the Igbos are not together is project initiated by the British and handed over to NIGERIANS. The government has used huge amounts of money in this project but is it working?. Since majority of the Igbos did not deny their Igboness after the Civil it is obvious that Igbo conscious awakening will soon take over the air. BLOOD IS THICKER THAN WATER.

Per the bolded, I am genuinely interested to know how the government have used huge amounts to do that, are you able to expantiate please?

What did the government do and how much money have they spent so far?

immortalcrown:

Not supporting Obi does not make you a bad person.

Your posts contains some incredibly powerful words and thoughts that we all should reflect on here on Nairaland, thank you so much.

Sadly, the only thing Obidients will take out if it is the part I have quoted and they will consequently abuse and insult you over it

Self introspection after reading your post would have benefited Obidients, alas such a simple thing doesn't exist in their mindset. A real shame.

AlaafinOfOyo:
This oba's sins are forgiven. At least he is bold enough to know that Lagos is not Yoruba land. Kudos.

You might be shocked then when you hear the language spoken in his palace.

Let's just say if Yoruba is spoken in the palace, it must be Yorubaland.

Lagos state house of Assembly conducts sessions in Yoruba on Thursdays, the might also give you a clue as to whether or not Lagos is Yorubaland.

Ola9ja23:


The same igbos that don't have any value in Nigeria?

Truth be told, all Nigerians hate igbos bcs you are too dangerous to be trusted with power

I don't know if you wrote this to pepper Obidients on Nairaland but please note that you are wrong.

Ndigbo are valued in Nigeria and are not hated by other Nigerians.

You are probably right if you meant Obidients.

Please let's not assume Nairaland Obidients speak for or portray the typical Ndigbo. If the truth be known, Ndigbo in real life are ashamed by the pathetic and senseless behavior of Obidients on social media over an election loss over a year ago.

Tochj:

Igbos said this and that
Who is the Igbo that threaten Yoruba people in Lagos?
Some of the rubbish said by Omockery and FFK.

Eze Ndigbo of Ajao estate, currently in prison somewhere for being an absolute idiot with a big mouth, says hello.

Per the post topic, lots of Ndigbo have contested and won seats for Lagos state House of Assembly, Ndi Yoruba in their constituencies don't complain.
Feel free to go and verify.

I myself fully agree with the divisive naming of the Yoruba party in the UK but the UK electoral commission wouldnt let you register any political party over there if they are not happy with the name. Most likely the guy is catching cruise but he is being silly in the process.

MixMyMedicine:



That op is a bigot the earlier you know the better for you.

Most of us know why the thread was created

If they are, they certainly didn't show any bigotry with that particular post as it contained Ndi Nigerians from all tribes.

Why was the thread created if not to celebrate people of Nigerian ancestry in UK politics?

At least I can see Chucks Umunna, who I remember the first time he was elected, being mentioned. Did the op miss out any Ndigbo in their lists?
