‎My attention has been drawn to a publication in a national newspaper where HRM Oba Riliwanu Akinolu was alleged to have threatened Igbos in Lagos to make them vote for Ambode. Last Sunday, all honorary Eze Ndigbos in Lagos paid a courtesy call to HRM Oba Akinolu. At the meeting the visitors praised the Oba for his fatherly support for and cooperation with Igbos in. Lagos. They assured him of their continued good neighborliness with other tribes in Lagos and support everything that’ll further strengthen that harmony. Oba Akiolu on his part acknowledged the enviable performance of Governor Fashola and his contribution to the growth of investments in Lagos. He gave the assurance that he is not disturbed or angry with South-East and South- South votes for President Jonathan as perceived by the Eze Ndigbos. The Obas thereafter called on the Igbos chiefs to show appreciation to Lagos State by supporting his candidate Mr. Ambode for continuity of excellence as they have earlier promised. He assured them of his continued support‎ and assistance where needed and the meeting ended with the traditional breaking of kolas, alligator pepper, and bitter kola and pouring of liberation on the ground. It was within this context that that the tradition of Lagos with regard to the lagoon came up. It was noted that whoever works against the throne and the interest and peaceful co-existence of Lagos would end up in the lagoon as per tradition. .Oba Akiolu stated further that the Igbo people have not betrayed the throne. Lagos has also not betrayed the Igbo people. Lagos has done so much to make the Igbos comfortable and to prosper. For this, we expect reciprocal respect and understanding. The Oba of Lagos prays that the Lagoon and the throne will continue to bless and protect all those who reside and visit Lagos. Oba Akiolu is the father of all irrespective of tribe, religion or political persuasion. In Lagos, we have an old traditional proverb that relates to the Lagoon. The Lagoon is unique to Lagos. The proverb stresses the need for unity and understanding when you do business in an environment and in this case when you live and do business in Lagos. Oba Akiolu prays for peace for the land of Lagos and prosperity for all its inhabitants.

Its well. Make lagoon stay him own, make igbos stay their own.

Yorubas and ibos have always managed to co-exist in relative peace and harmony till PDP started their campaign of hate and calumny..

I don't think the oba could have said that. they must have lied against him

okay.....where r the pics?

I wonder how GEJ and his cohorts managed to brainwash the igbos to one direction..The igbos should know better than to risk all their eggs in one basket.

it will be nice if the ibos support the candidacy of the APC in LAGOS this will further build the trust of yorubas in them

To hell with so called oba! GEJ my HERO! FAYOSE my role MODEL!!

PDP's divisive brand of politics, which Jimi seems to have adopted, will always result in failure and rejected by the masses.

PDP has been around for a very long time. APC on the other hand emerged very recently and since then there has never been peace

The boldened just confirmed that the bastard oba made the comment, even though the respondent tried beating about the bush. While praying with kola, the political oba that sees apc as messiah and pdp as against the throne liad such cowardice motivated powerless curse on igbos.

No amount of denial can save this fool of an oba.

That lagoon will wipe u and ur entire family after 7 days. Beast!

Why on earth should a traditional ruler be so politically biased? so when pdp wins lagos he will run away from lagos abi?

Shameful cream rubbing animal

See the disjointed story about the Lagoon that the Oba's team concorted to cover their tracks.
Does it make sense?
When in the history of Lagos has the lagoon swallowed people on its own for being against the 'interest of Lagos'? What is the 'interest of Lagos' in the Oba's opinion.

Akiolu should be examined for his desperation from lagos loot. This is why the abiyesi of ikorodu blasted him for his greed. Oba ole

Look here bro, anyone can go ahead and decide which version to believe, and even interpret Riliwan's statement as they please. I see this as an excuse for some militant SE brethren who were already going to vote for PDP to rabble-rouse the public. But be mindful that this won't change the inevitable -- AMBODE It is.

Gmajor:

This is simply because PDP doesn't know how to handle competition. APC as a newer party has from the sideline watched the mistakes of the PDP, corrected them and this has led to where they are today.

You have a problem if these two are your role models. You need help

no matter d propaganda , APC will rule Lagos state in the next dispensation.
Just Kidding is not for Lagos
Just Kidding is a tax evader

Ok

With the politics of ethnic and religion, PDP planted hatred in the core heart of Nigerians.
Now PDP are planting the seed of mixing religion with tribe and religion in Lagos. They want to create enmity with Lagosians and Igbo communities.
Lagosians please don't let it germinate. Join me because I am ready to vote Competence and Continuity by voting AMBODE.
PDP are evil and we should not allow them in Lagos...
As much as I prefer Tinubu to Bode George.
As much as I prefer Fashola to Obanikoro.
I also prefer Akinwunmi AMBODE to Jimi Agbaje.
Vote APC

Yoruba's should stop taking those flat head serious. They are all slaves, disowned "OSU"! Worse than almajiri.

They keep migrating like parasites. From the desert of Niger to Drug peddling in Indonesia and fighting for freedom in Malaysia.

Maybe the Lagoon is not happy with the voting trends. Lol...

Just imaging this bastards calling a traditional ruler bastard. Tell me who is a bastard between a king and a disowned migrant like you. If Lagos decided to send you out I bet you have no where to go to than face Malaysia to Join your retard brothers fighting for freedom in another man's country f00ls!

A King is NOT supposed to have a Candidate in Politics, because, he is a Father of All. But Oba of Lagos, has eaten deeply into the treasury of Lagos and is now biased. So, Jimi is NOT a yoruba man ?

Why would an Oba interfere with how the electorates should cast their votes and who they should vote for ?

This Oba has meddled into partisan politics and is therefore partisan, so Kids are free to throw sands at him. Oba Rilwanu, you are a disgrace to the Oodua Kingdom. You are NOT fit to be called Oba.

Igbos should vote individually for whoever they like without fear, if anyone cross your lane a thousand men shall fall, in the name of Sango and Amadioha.

Lagos is for all.

bingo, u and ur bigotted oba are BASTARDS! DO UR WORST ALREADY!

THUNDER DISSECT U LATERALLY THERE. IMBEC1LE!

I would like to warn Ibos

This is an election between 2 Yorubas dont be caught in between

WhetherJimi wins or Ambode wins, Its still 2 Yorubas that are contesting.

Dont let them use your head to break coconut

If any problem should start, Neither Jimi nor Ambode would abandon his Yoruba people to support you.

Ask your parents how the previous issues that has nothing to do with Ibos suddenly get dropped in their doorsteps and many paying the price

In politics use your sense especially where you are foreigners

I already like this Oba. He is an honest and straight forward man.

No camouflage, no treachery, no double face, he is so un Yoruba! May he live long!

To hell with your father, cant you read? The Oba never threaten nor said those words but you fools wont listen, you just want to use this propaganda to cause trouble in Lagos. Grow up and stop yarning dust everywhere.

you can only brainwash people with brains. These ones have no brain so u just programme anything and drop it into their motherboard!

Just like someone said they could fight guns with cutlass and they followed him only to cry fowl.

Just like they collected 500 naira and started boarding a sinking ship of PDP.

now, they have started again o. If the joker now fails, they will be crying neglect and using style to beg by throwing their weight behind APC at the last minute wey bus don full.

Politicians causing so much tension on the land! Now it's Yoruba n ibos! APC vs ibos in lagos. We need love n tolerance to have a harmonious society.
