What I do t understand is why the likes of Oba and now okorocha are hell bent on ruining ,Ambode.
In as much as I thought Ambode is a better candidate going by his resume and that of JK. It seems as if there is a conspiracy to destroy him by this two, the interesting thing is okorocha has just equally lost some votes by his utterances.
If they believe in Ambode, why can't they just tell us why we should too. Instead of threatining people up and down in a democratic govt. Believe me, I will rather tear my PVC than cast it for the likes of okorocha, he is just driven by self interest, people like that should not be allowed to govern us. In fact they shouldn't be allowed to represent anybody ,
Ambode can be forgiven cos he didn't make those statement

ChukwudiObiano:


So the "Yoruba's have cursed you?". Can any right thinking person say this. Have our businesses not thrived in Lagos. This is not a war between Yoruba and Igbo, come saturday vote for the person who you think can do the job. Leave ethnicity and tribe alone, after all both Agbaje and Ambode are Yoruba

The Imo state Governor, Owelle Rochas Okorocha has thrown his support for the Oba of Lagos, who threatened Igbos residing in Lagos of Death inside Lagoon if they fail to vote the APC Lagos Governorship candidate, Ambode, whom he claimed he hand picked for the position.

Okorocha speaking to the press in Imo state capital, Owerri, after Buhari's visit defended the Oba of Lagos and pointed out that the Oba of Lagos was not totally wrong in insisting that Igbos must vote Ambode .

He went further to echo that "Igbos should not portray themselves as ungrateful people, the only way they can show appreciation is by massively voting for APC the party that has protected their lives and properties over these years.

"The Lagos state government led by APC has the capacity to make life unbearable for all Igbo traders and resident in Lagos if they so wish. So you see, the Oba was figurative in his speech not necessarily that Igbos will be drowned in Lagoons" the governor added.

My perspective on this Oba Akiolu saga is this:

Can an Igbo man try this nonsense in Kano, Sokoto, Minna, Dutse, Kaduna? Never!

I have Igbo and Yoruba friends who grew up in Sabon-Gari in these northern states; they can never aspire to be local government councilor let alone get voted as Federal House of Reps members as Igbos have just done in Lagos in 2015 elections 2 weeks ago!

Can Igbos try this nonsense talk about 'Lagos is no man's land' in the North? Can Igbos ever claim ‘Kaduna is no man’s land’, despite its very cosmopolitan status like Lagos?

I don't blame them- I blame Tinubu for opening up Lagos to them! When you sart appointing an Igbo man as Commissioner for Budget and Economic Planning, why won't his brothers start dragging ownership of the state with original owners?

Can the Igbos ever vote the Hausas who have been living in Asaba, Onitsha, or Aba since the 19th century? Never!

Igbos are dishing out what they can never take from other people in their own states!!!

Truth be told. Oba Akiolu messed up big time and should never have made the hate speech but Igbos shouldn't extend their luck too far!

I insist- Lagos is the most accommodating state in the entire country! It is only in Lagos that one sees Commissioners and Special Advisers of very critical ministries being occupied by non-indigenes! I'm Yoruba; in my state, no other Yoruba man from another state can even aspire to be local council councilor let alone get elected as a House of Reps member as have been done in Lagos! Someone will mention the history of how the person's fore-fathers migrated to the state! The entire Lekki property axis is dominated by Igbos! Igbo developers constitute over 80% of developers in Lekki corridor...What do Igbos want again from Lagos indigenes?

This entitlement mentality from our Igbo brothers and sisters is becoming irritating. Can a Yoruba man have this huge leverage in any state in the South-East? I know a lot of Yoruba people who grew up in Onitsha and Aba. Some of them have only visited their Yoruba states twice in their lifetimes (some as old as 50-60 years ); yet they are 2nd-class citizens in those Igbo cities! Yet, Igbos come to Yoruba land and poke their noses at their host communities.
PDP is playing with fire just for political expediency. No one knows when this fire that is raging will stop! I hope PDP will not cry foul when this fire they have started catches up with them in any of the states they control in the South-West in the future! This is in context with the stupid comments from Obanikoro (a Lagos Island man) and Ogunlewe, who also insulted the Oba of Lagos!

This is becoming a mob action! The amount of insult hurled on the Lagos Royal Stool, no matter the provocation, is way too much! No sane Igbo can ever do that to Emir of Kano, or Sultan of Sokoto! He/she would have been roasted alive!

Getting irritating...

I see the Oba's statements as being a culmination of his ill feelings towards the igbos.

adeniyisavage:



Well said, I wouldn't worry about the 'IBO' problem. Plans are in the works to rid Lagos of these parasitic cockroaches..
I honestly agree with u. Tinubu caused all this insult. You simply cannot invite the IBO into ur land and extend courtesy without them taking advantage...the north has a very good way of dealing with them..culling the herd..Yoruba should endeavour to do the same...
Nowhere else in Nigeria are the ibos welcomed. Given land to trade and live... Freedom to move about voted for! Only in lagos and south west...
I believe the 'Israelites' have grown too much in egypt(lagos)and this modern day Pharaoh must do as his forebears did...throw them into the Nile (lagoon).

Thanks for vomiting the bitterness you all have for the Igbos, it's good because it would choked you to death.

For your information, Yorubas don't dash out lands to Igbos, igbos buy land and build. The ladipo you boast about is heavily taxed that Igbos would has been better of if they bought the land to do their business which I know they can. However because o much tax and constant harassment by touts Igbos started moving to trade fair complex which is under the federal government & where they can have peace of mind. Other markets are all planning to move down to trade fair just because if the greed of your godfather tinubu. So asserting that Lagos did this or did that for the Igbos as if it was not paid for and still being paid for is totally wrong and cynically divisive of you. As we speak today, the popular Mandillas market have moved to trade fair complex, they now pay their tax direct to federal government. As we speak an Igbo man is cones ting for a governorship position in Kaduna state under APGA, so stop the rants. If we all continue to think they way you think then we are never going to be united. If you can have 1million Yorubas in Aba, that is enough to win them a rep seat in Aba under APC and nobody will do anything, but the fact remains that you people don't like leaving your Yoruba land and it's sad because you learn little or nothing about other tribes. My sister bought a house in Ago palace for 30 million and for her to do a total renovation she had to go and pay 4 million to the Oba and omonile, now what do you call that? Even to roof a house in Lagos or deck your building to add another floor you'll have to pay between 200,000 to 300,000 & what do you call that? Please let's stop all this divisive behavior as if Lagos is giving out free money to the Igbos. Let's try more to preach unity, you can't do anything to Igbo in Lagos, this is Nigeria if you try it you'll have yourself to blame. Enough said.

Well said........I've never seen any ethnic group that is as tribalistic as the yorubas.......in most companies where the yorubas are at the helm of affairs, they make life difficult for the igbos there....no yoruba man would ever want the igbo man to thrive, yet they talk about being kind and good to the igbos.....they can tell that to the trees
