Beremx:
You're the next Governor of Lagos Insha Allah.

No rigging by Yoruba thugs can stop him!!! Lagos has been taken.

Wagwanbrethren:
Oboy you go nowhere! 🤣
All this story go change nothing. You don't have a chance in Lagos. If you like import people from anywhere to vote for you, taah! 🤣🤣

The second shock of your sorry life is about to show face within a month.

APC governors shall be vacated in Lagos and Ogun States.

Hayot:
The fall of Lagos into the hands of the invaders during the presidential elections rattled me for some days. The possibility that I can wake up one morning to discover that my Governor is one Chinedu frightens me to the marrow. I don’t even know whether to begin this piece with an apology to those who may prefer a discourse on nationality to ethnicity. However, in a situation where there is an existential threat to what defines my identity and humanity, subscription to sophomoric courtesies becomes a matter of tendentious indulgence. I want to start with a narrative on my origin since the crux of the matter is about heritage.

I am a comprehensive Lagosian. I am from Lagos Island. My great grandfather, Richard Odeliyi Thomas was one of the first merchants cum settlers to build mansions in Lagos Island circa 1854. It was in that mansion he had his first son , my grandfather, Josiah Akinwande Thomas on August 27, 1882. With some arrogant modesty typical of an average Lagosian, let me say, he was a very wealthy man. His mansion was not the only testament of his wealth, the Street was named after him. In the whole of Lagos Island at that time, 8 and 10 Richards Lane was seen as “Ile baba olowo” .That was my great grandfather’s house. He shared this corridor of affluence with some other great Lagos families like the Shitta-Beys, the Kumolu-Johnsons, the Derbys, the Browns, the Benjamins, the Akinsemoyins, the Wolfs, the Foresythes, the Bangboses. To crown it all, his second son, Chief C.A Thomas was married to the daughter of the famous Candido Da Rocha. So, between Breadfruit Street, Richards Lane, Shitta Street and Kakawa Street, we had the Lagos greats whose houses and cars were the insignia of their opulence and splendour.

After about 100 years into the existence of the mansion, precisely 1956, the LEDB came up with a re-development project for Lagos Island. This project, conceived but not executed , led to the resettlement of my family and several others in what was called New Lagos now Surulere. Today, the Akinsemoyins and the Da Rochas still retain their family houses in Lagos Island. But the Thomases, the Shitta Beys, the Derbys, the Foresythes, the Browns and the Benjamins had been dispatched to Surulere. I know that apart from their house in Surulere, the Shitta-Beys had been able to come up with a “sokolo” bungalow in the Shitta-Bey court on Martin Street.

As for me and my family, there is nothing to show that my great grandfather ever lived or owned a street in Lagos Island. The entire stretch of the street is now a flourishing market for costume hawkers. The house which should serve as a memorabilia for me and my children and grandchildren has become an agora for assorted merchandise. But thank GOD for my aunty, Mrs Yéwándé Oyediran, Da Rocha’s granddaughter who has been living in Da Rocha’s Kakawa’s house for many decades now, I probably won’t have anything to show for my “Lagos Islandness” . In three years time, my father’s house in Surulere (Barracks) will be 70 years. Same for my mother’s house in Barracks.

My mother has her own house courtesy of my great grandmother, Moriamo Ashabi Buraimoh. She too was resettled in Surulere when the LEDB demolished her house in Ita Akanni, Lagos Island. Some years back, some of my uncles toyed with the idea of selling the house because it belongs to my great- grandmother. I stopped them. You don’t need the details. As for my father’s house, I do not envisage any problem because GOD has blessed all of us with our own houses. As the first born, I have told my seven siblings (almost all of them live abroad) to use the place as a hospitality facility just for the purpose of maintenance. As at now, our mother still lives there and running her canteen business.

Enough of History. We may still come back to it though. I have gone into this long narrative of my Lagos island background to show how painful it could be for one to be detached from his roots. Though I still have my family houses in Surulere, there is nothing that can ever compensate for the separation of you and your source, or better still, you from your source. You can now imagine how petrified I will be to now harbour the fear that I could lose my land to strangers. I don’t even want to imagine such a scenario for a day let alone four years, eight years or even forever knowing what these invaders are capable of doing to the land if they succeed.
I have been asking myself how we got to this precipice. First was our accommodationist policy. Enslaved by the concept of “Omoluabi”, we opened our doors to all asundry, particularly to the invaders from the east, pampering them with lavish and amazing hospitality” thinking that our generousity towards them will be a kind of investment for future political cooperation and alliance.

Unfortunately, this has not worked for us. It is ending up like a dangerous investment. Our hospitality is coming back to hurt us and is threatening our existence as a people and our collective heritage. When a people you gave shelter to in your house start interrogating your ownership of the land, then you should know that an invasion is brewing. When a people that should show gratitude for being treated with dignity start questioning your authority, you should know that an invader is within your vicinity. When you start admitting strangers on your land without defined borders and territorial limitations, then you are courting encroachment. When you keep selling your family houses to the highest bidders from the East, then you should be ready to be harangued by strangers someday. Our kindness has become a powerful instrument of territorial appropriation in the hands of our visitors.

Again, with aggressive invaders all over you, you are displaying open hatred for your community head thus exposing the cracked wall in your house to the lurking lizard. Tinubu, your own son, who governed the land for 8 years became your enemy. You ganged up against him and started persecuting and abusing him for doing good for the land. What was his crime? You accused him of imposing strangers as leaders. The first person you called a stranger was Akinwande Ambode. Was he really a stranger? He said he is from Epe, you said he is from Ilaje in Ondo State. I was personally involved in the whole selection drama of Ambode but I will leave that for another day. Now, when Oga stopped him from going for second term because of pressure from within, you were all happy. About four years after, see what happened. The same Ondo people you stopped their son from doing second term returned an amazing number of votes that gave Tinubu the eventual victory. Let’s move to Jide Sanwo-Olu. You protested again when he gave you Sanwo-Olu. You claimed he is from Ijebu when most of you know his matrilineal ancestry in Lagos Island. Again, it is this same Ijebu man whose state (Ogun) gave Tinubu a large chunk of the majority votes. Now, those of us who call ourselves indigenes, what did we give him in return? We connived with strangers to disgrace our own illustrious son because of envy and jealousy. But when GOD decided to disgrace us, HE made him the President of the whole nation as a compensation for our “iku ile” conspiracy in Lagos State. Sensing the grave danger ahead of us should Lagos fall into the hands of the enemy, we are now running kitikiti and katakata trying to undo our own “afowofa”.

Let us examine the “indigene” that the Labour Party has given to you as your governor. His name is Chinedu Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour. Tinubu, a Yoruba leader, gave you Ambode from Ondo, you called him a stranger. He gave you Sanwo-Olu from Ijebu, you called him a stranger. Now, Obi of Anambra has given you Chinedu of Lagos, what are you going to call him? Can we now see where family squabbles and envy have led us? An Obi from Anambra who never did anything for the State is now the one calling the shots in my state. O ma ṣe o. It has really gone so bad that an Ibo man from Anambra is choosing a governor for us.

An Obi from Anambra who cannot boast of employing one Lagosian into the State Civil Service during his eight- year rule in Anambra now has the effontery to mobilize his own people and our own gullible, ignorant and naive children to install an Igbosian as governor of our State. Why should the preachment and practicalization of charity politics and no man’s land begin from Lagos ? Why not Anambra or Enugu? We, I mean Lagosians in particular and Yoruba in general, are undertaking a very dangerous and costly experiment capable of consuming our collective patrimony and heritage if not nipped in the bud NOW. It is very sad that we have found ourselves in a situation that “an indigene” is now wearing the regalia of Ndigbo to campaign for governorship in Lagos. So sad that we now find ourselves in a situation that “an indigene” of the State will be campaigning in Lagos with a retinue of Igbo women and men and chiefs with no Lagos women and Chiefs in attendance . It is unfortunate that we now have our own children who do not understand the politics of dynastic hegemony collaborating with strangers using a palatinate change slogan to de-establish themselves from their natural territory and joking with their traditional privileges and rights. I pray that one day we will not find the son of a royalty enmeshed in the unforced error of self-induced servitude. This is an electoral warfare that can only be fought with numbers NOT GUNS. What we need is effective and
massive mobilization and deployment of our human artillery to overcome this tyranny of ingratitude. There must be no physical combat. Let’s turn everything to a festival of votes by returning our own son, Jide Sanwo-Olu back to office and also use our victory at the polls as a conciliation between us and the President -elect who we betrayed. Yes, that was betrayal. How can we win all the Senatorial seats and almost all the House of Reps seats but failed to deliver in the Presidential election.? Ah, Yoruba, e ma buru o. Thank GOD, he is not our mate again. He is now the President of Nigeria. There is no doubt that GOD is always on the side of the righteous. We have been nice to them but they have been very very unkind to us. The way to show gratitude for our hospitality is not by snatching our precious heritage while preserving yours with aggressive intolerance. When we play politics, we should draw red lines. The desperation of a man in search of power should not constitute an existential threat to the heritage of a peaceful collectivity. Politics can accommodate profanity but heritage is all about sanctity. Obi wants power but Lagosians want the preservation of their territory. The slogan: Lagos is no man’s land is nothing but the creed of territorial banditry.

On the day of the governorship election, take the aged with PVC along, assist the physically -challenged who have PVC to the polls, go with your husband, don’t leave your wife behind, stroll to the polls with the youth in your house and neighborhood after you must have lectured them on the significance of heritage. Let them know that ethnicity is about national politics while local politics is about heritage and indigeneship. Ask them why they want to put a Chinedu in Alausa when their mobilizers cannot tolerate an Arẹmu in Anambra seat of power. If they now agree with you, please take them along. Please take them to the polls on conviction not by conscription so that they won’t get there and vote against us. You can also inform them-with the youth, you never can tell what will make them to change their minds-that Chinedu, LP’s gubernatorial candidate once twitted this scary message on Twitter “…..Biafra Day is a day to be acknowledged and respected.” The implication of this is that if he should win (GOD forbid), Lagos will automatically become IPOB’s strategic cantonment. Lagos will become the epicenter of Biafra war against the rest of the country. Tell your children that when IPOB turns Lagos to their FRONT LINE, they will not be able to identify them with the votes they cast for Chinedu but by the language they speak. Once you are identified as a Yoruba person, you are an adversary. There is no column for solidarity allies in any Frontline. Adversaries are adversaries. The fall of Lagos will trigger the domino theory because all the South West states are no longer safe. This is why every Yoruba son and daughter who has a voting status in Lagos state should arise on that day to go and vote for Jide Sanwo-Olu of APC in order to save Lagos, and by extension, Yorubaland from the impending Armageddon that the victory of Chinedu will bring to the land.

Sharing is Caring ... Please Share

After reading the above crap, I can understand why the "Returnees" in Lagos vehemently refused to allow "Aroke" to lead NYM.

mickyus4uyahoo:
In Amuwo number of voters Is more than acredicted registered. Amuwo Odofin!!! Please, check the number of Accredited Voters (57, 530) and add Obi's 55, 547 with Tinubu's 13, 318! Don't even bother with the rest! We are beginning to see how Obi "won" Lagos.

The bolded should be reduced by at least, 12,000 illegal votes.

The fact his mother is Ogbo shouldn't be a basis at all.

What a deranged street urchin.

spagettiluv:
Yes
He aligned with his mother tribe than that of his father
Worst to the fact that he can’t even speak yoruba language,still had the gut to abuse Yorubas in one of his old tweet

Let him go contest in Enugu

In one idiotic instance, Yoruba will point at intertribal marriage as one foolish reason to keep the moronic "One-Nigeria" slogan in a place. In another instance, Yoruba will curse the day such intertribal union produces a child. This is a mark of deliberate selfishness.

Seeeker:



If a man doesn't pay bride price, the child belongs to Igbo mother.

Chinedu is a bastard

I guess it takes one bastard to recognize another. What do you know about bride price? Yoruba are free willers in bride price.

CNN (Communist Network News) is a very idiotic outfit and had become everything which is wrong about the earth.

alanto:
Welcome back helinus...

Well we did it. 🤗
The Great - Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu is the new president of Nigeria...

We didn't succumb to bully...
Baba wey no well, hand dey shake, leg dey shake... E don become the new president of the great Nigeria.

You shall be shamed. I do not think so because there is rerun in the air.

They are willing servants as referenced in a speech by Ahmadu Bello in the 60s.

Be mindful LP is a political party without structure yet it whipped APC in Lagos, a house ignorantly assumed to have been built by Thiefinubu.

Hello and good morning I'll go straight to the point..
I've been member of this forum for a long time now and I've always loved this forum for its freedom of speech and expression but for sometime now I've made some observations which I find very overwhelming and utterly disgusting and I think there's a need for some changes and adjustment in various areas...
First of all this rate of TRIBALISM AND BIGOTRY on this platform is overwhelming its difficult to scroll through a post without tribal insults and bullying..
Secondly the rate of FAKE NEWS on this platform makes me question the competence of the Moderators you can even see alot of fake news in the front page..
Also the rate of explicit posts needs to be put on check although you don't see much of that on the front page but still one needs to be able to read through posts without explicit contents being rubbed in our faces
Religious attacks are also a major concern if you're not a Muslim why comment on a Muslim post just for insult and bullying also if you're not a Christian why not keep your opinion to yourself instead of trying to rub your opinion on others...
The population of SCAM AND SCAMMERS are also a major concern most people have fallen victim and some will still fall victim....
These are just some of the major issues that makes this forum look like a joke or a play ground for kids to mess around and it's sickening that there are MODERATORS but very little to nothing is being done about it..

Please I'd like for you to look into these issues and make some adjustments so people can enjoy this platform without fear of expression and cyber bullying..

Thank you and God bless.

Nigeria is made of tribal nation states therefore the products should be indeed tribal. There is nothing wrong with being bigoted. Webster Dictionary did not label the word as anything bad. It is very silly to talk about bullying on Internet and with written words. Since you are the custodian of real or correct news as to discern which news is fake, I beg you to overlook the fake news like I do. What gave you audacious pedigree to decide which comments individual should either respond or not respond on public platform based on faith? I guess it takes one scammer to recognize another. If you do like the heat, you get hell out of the kitchen. Nigerians do not tolerate delusional "Wokeism".

chisomkachy:


Rabiu Kwankwaso, the presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), has taken a swipe at Peter Obi, the standard-bearer of the Labour Party (LP).

Speaking at Chatham House in the United Kingdom on Wednesday, Kwankwaso said he is more qualified than Obi to become the next president of Nigeria.

The NNPP candidate also said he withdrew from the discussion of alliance with the LP because the party was “carried away by media hype” and built on “ethnicity and religion”.

Citing his qualifications, the former governor of Kano said he is ready for a discussion with any presidential candidate who has better qualifications than him.

“I’m a PhD holder in civil engineering. I check your candidate for what he has. I have been in the system for over 30 years now. I was a civil servant for 17 years. I wasn’t a trader,” he said.

“I was deputy speaker of the house in 1992; I was in the constitutional conference elected delegates. I was governor of Kano state for eight years. I was in the senate. If anyone wants Kwankwaso to withdraw, let’s bring criteria and select the best

“Anytime I have a better candidate, I’m ready to talk to him. If you have a party which is based on ethnicity and religion — that is the difference between the Labour Party and our party, which is a national party.”

https://www.thecable.ng/im-a-phd-holder-not-a-trader-kwankwaso-aims-dig-at-obi-in-chatham-house-speech/amp

Nigerians are funny and very stupid too. A dude who claimed to hold Ph.D. in Civil Engineering still have no pamphlet on runoff water to his name. What a dumbass. A trader is better than this dingbat.

I'm sure you don't understand the rubbish you wrote. Enjoy

At least, I understood you represent rubbish. So, I have to enjoy it.

Parachoko:
Asiwaju already have more than 25% in 27 states

He does not need to have more than 25% in any of the South East states to win again

When rigged, yes!!

AmehTsaev:
Good, everybody must get sense by force. We will fight this to the LAST and at any cost.

Who the "We" and do you own a gun?

Only a foolish Igbo person who does not understand Nigeria is not home. Nigeria is a home of the fools therefore Ndigbo and well-meaning Nigerians should be part of it.

majestique:
It is well...I'm from the north but I'm happy that I queued under the sun to get my pvc and I'm also happy that I voted for his excellency, peter obi. To me and other sensible Nigerians that desire a breath of fresh air, he is and will be our president. As for those that allowed tribalism to becloud their sense of reasoning, be rest assured that the blood of all the innocent people that this evil (apc) party wasted in one way or the other is on your head. It will speak against everyone of you. To my good people from the west, east, south, north... please don't take laws into your hands. You have done what you should do as good citizens.

You are simply what anybody needs as compatriot. I do not care about silly individuals contesting the election but the political parties which have seen Nigeria to the mud. It is fathomable that breathable Nigerian will cast a vote for political parties which just ruined the lives of Nigerians and arrogantly branded the party as Islamic one.

Egoat:

The judgement ruled in favor of Shehu tho.
I think Awolowo claimed the 2/3 of 19 states was 13 while the court insisted it was 12 and not 13.
Going by the judgement, the 2/3 of 37 states is 24 and not 25 but then I'm even confused the more as to why it's so.

The bolded is a wrong statement even in applied situation. The summation of 2/3 of 37 is 24.67 which is greater than 24 but less than 25. Since the states are not fractioned but whole, therefore 24.67 is appropriately roundup to 25.

shariff84:
it's before,now that we see Niger republic surviving in the desert,we believe we can also survive. I even forgot to add that now we have oil in the north (Bauchi).

Now let us go to the table and disintegrate the shithole called Nigeria unconditionally.

It is shame Nigeria has turned into 2-tribe and one-religion country, Fulani, Yoruba and Islam. Thanks to goons from southern Nigeria who followed Yoruba to join forces with Jihadists from northern region to precipitate war of attrition on Ndigbo and Biafrans in 1967. Since that time, I have never subscribed to Nigeria or idiotic One-Nigeria.

How did this fool, INEC chairman or whatever, become a professor? Does he understand what "Realtime" means in IT lexicon? Anyway, it completely idiotic to talk about industrialization without energy (electricity). Nigeria does not have 24/7 supply of electricity coupled with hiccups, yet this jackass is talking about real time. There was no election in Nigeria on Saturday and there has never been one too.

Veezy4u:
it will be difficult but INEC should beg Nigerians for forgiveness and for the sake of justice follow stipulated proceedings n ensure people who didn't vote get the chance to vote, put massive Military presence n ensure a proper secret ballot system so everyone votes his preferred candidates without fear of being attacked, it's not too much to ask. For all the monies spent they should have done better.The mother of #Endsars is cooking.End #badgovernment #endinec [/b]

I ask what forgiveness, for a blunder? Nigerians cannot go blundering and asking for forgiveness. Such behavior is anti-progress. Nigeria cannot grow beyond what we had just experienced three days ago as presently configured therefore I sue for unconditional disintegration.

Lashist:

Despite how they dwarfed igbo votes in lagos and how inec ignored most igbo locations in lagos, igbos didnt give him 30% of those votes he got in lagos. Even your tribesmen don't want him...not everybody like suffering like you do..please ignore me and stick to advertising properties to survive. Don't drag others to suffer like you want to

This is the type of idiotic name calling which led to the murder of certain politicians on January 15, 1966, coup. However, goons such as this poster wanted the cleanup to represent the foolish federal character.

Africans do hate themselves more than any other race

Thats why a chinese man will come here and police will leave the citizens and escort the man, under his umbrella, even if the chinese man might just be a humble baker

If Africans loved themselves, it would show, in societal advances.

Amongst the worst affected is this WHITE MAN establishment, NIGERIA, which is hugely defended by the hateful blackman, even long after the white man has made his exit.

The Black man UPHOLDS the slavery and is even more wicked than the former slave master.

The former slave master spread education, a peaceful, morally upright religion, tech...

Yet the Black man denies his own people everything, even pipe-borne water.

What you called hate is pure lack of structured stream of thought. Most Africans do not think. Nigerians are typical examples of delusional Africans.

This is the time to end what happened in Nigeria yesterday. Nigerians want to go their separate ways. No sane person would allow to be imposed upon an Islamic country. Anything less than disintegration of Nigeria is unacceptable.
