Well, another way of looking at this issue is the fact that most Igbos are ganging up on voting in Jimi Agbaje whereas the Yorubas are for Ambode. The Oba must have considered it as an affront on his land.

where did you get that info?BTW,
Is Lagos STATE a monarchy ?For God's sake this is not a Lagos Island Chieftancy tussle,where he can deny Agbaje or anyone for that matter.
Is Agbaje not a Lagosian?Why will a human being who is not sure of tomorrow make such stament?
Lastly has he forgotten how he emerged?What he did is not the best.

quickly:
Them no want PDP for Lagos state is that French

datribune:
I did not see dis level of outrage when some eediots were gleefully declaring lagos a no-man's land. How will u feel if u were an oba & ur domain is being described as a no-man's land?. Fools never learn. d PDP & JK started tribal politics in lagos state by dividng lagosians along tribal lines & encouraging & emboldening non-indegenes to disrespect their hosts & their leaders. Though Bola Tinubu is not on d ballot,d igbo continue to pour hate & oppobrium on a leader & former governor of lagos simply because they hold him responsible 4 their Azikiwe's loss at d polls. They ar willing to jeopardize d progress lagos has made in d last 16yrs by voting in PDP just to spite & get back at Tinubu. No oba will be happy wit such lousy settlers who describe his domain as no-man's land. I pray d igbo see d folly in their undue arrogance, domineering attitude & disrespect to d indegenes & leaders if lagos. U need to respect ur hosts.

This video is showing us what exactly transpired . The Oba was laughing with his subjects- the Igbo visitors

This is a false alarm by the enemies! The Igbo elders were laughing and enjoying themselves.

I think all these noise makers should now apologize to the Oba of Lagos!

The statements attributed to him were tongue in cheek comments! They were colloquial statements misinterpreted by evil doers

Thank God the video is now out!

God bless the Oba!

I am Ibo, yes I dislike tribalism and I strongly believe that any nation which truly wants to forge ahead must limit the impact of tribal sentiments in the selection of its leaders. I have lived in Lagos for 12 years and have more Yoruba friends than I do Ibo friends. The best experiences I have had in Lagos have been with good people regardless of tribe but I have in my own observation seen that many of my Yoruba friends come from well educated homes. In some cases, they have grand parents who schooled in prestigious institutions; a not so common achievement in Nigeria. I have been welcome into their homes which in some cases have a Muslim father and a Christian mother. The diversity I have experienced in Lagos makes me desire to reside in no other part of Nigeria apart from Lagos. I must confess that I had in line with my admiration expected too much of the Oba. Quite frankly I never believed the Oba of one of the most important cities in Africa could sound so medieval. Asking him to apologize would be an insult to common sense.

Over the course of the recent election related developments, I had argued and disagreed with relatives about voting for Jonathan. Although I am from Delta state which partly like Bayelsa state was carved out of the former Bendel state, I put sentiments aside and reasoned like most progressive Nigerians, related with the average man on the street and saw nothing but reckless graft in the current PDP. I put aside the relationships and ignored relatives who benefit from NDDC to the detriment of the average Nigerian and campaigned for APC. I did all these with a careful eye on the role of Tinubu in Lagos, his possible influence on APC and nursed a certain uneasiness about his relationship to Ambode. When I listened to the campaign adverts of JK and compared it to that of Ambode; perused their CVs and evaluated what I felt either could offer, I personally made up my mind to support Ambode. I also did this in consideration of the alienation strategy the federal level metes out on an opposition state level government and adjudged that Lagos is due for a alliance with the federal level of governance from day one. I had worked in GTB and knew Agbaje but threw sentiments away to evaluate Ambode as a more profitable offer.

Now I have a new dilema. With the overwhelming influence of Tinubu on Lagos, evident from the Alpha beta saga, Lekki-toll saga, Oriental hotel saga, ibeju Lekki saga, Royal Gardens estate saga, issuance of CofOs long after publicly abdicating power, I had felt that was all there would be to Ambode but from the way the Oba spoke, I now believe Ambode could represent an entrenched institutional rot and that regardless what reconciliatory steps are taking to assuage the concerns of Lagosians over such wanton bias, there might be need to save our beloved Lagos from death in the Lagoon. It's just a vote but I have just made up my mind. Afterall, Agbaje or Ambode there can be no tribalism for an Ibo vote!

He made the statement because he is human

Agbaje is a Lagosian but you and I know that he is being pitched against the Yorubas. The issue of both contestants is that they represent Igbo and Yoruba populace in Lagos. The igbos want Agbaje but the Yorubas want Ambode. Unless if you want to pretend that Lagos in practice is a no man's land, will you fail to see the issue with Agbaje candidacy and the party he emanates from.

I disagree completely. Both candidates needs everyone's vote. Don't pitch Igbo against Yoruba for no reason.

Holy shiit!!

These Igbos have to be the most unprincipled and incorrigible cowardly souls ever known to mankind. I can't believe these plonkers sat there, clapped for him, and never made any fuss about the statement in his presence. Yet they have been blowing hot air all over cyberspace.

The King just earned my respect as one of the most powerful Yoruba Kings with fireballs like Alaafin Shango the Kintaro.

Anyway, I'm still waiting for ULTIMATUMS from Igbos!! I shall be back to read the ultimatum when they issue one.

Yorubas aren't cowards after-all - Interesting.

Oba Akiolu missed it...and was talking as if he's god.

We are not under monarchy or military government and why such threat?

Why such language? You don't use threat to get votes but cajoling.Haba!

Don't spoil market for AMBODE!
