Why will you not run away from pure facts. Too difficult to handle abi? People like you are the ones giving Igbos bad name. If not for the fact that I have met and interacted with Igbo men and women in real life, I would have had a horrible impressions of Igbos by your line of thinking.
Refute any of the facts I posted if you can.
Thank you in advance.


Agbaje is not your problem, if there's any ethnic tension in Lagos which might affect the pattern of voting today, blame it on Apc and you guys should stop mentioning the igbokwe and nwabueze. Those names are not the face of Igbos in Lagos and have not contributed anything to the progress of Igbo people in lagos. Sack them, they won't be missed. People are simply outraged by the actions of your apc govt in the past years and the arrogant responses from your fashola govt. They meddle in their businesses with closures and indiscriminate fines and levies. Stop blaming Agbaje. By the way, no one can accurately predict how Igbos are going to vote. Agbaje said he was going to elevate the Eze ndi Igbo to the status of oba of Lagos!! Rubbish, do you really think Igbos give a damn about the so called Eze? You guys should stop being silly and paranoid. The Eze himself, I doubt he would be that enthusiastic about that nonsense. Most of these people are successful people in their respective fields and what Igbos want in Lagos is peace.

Some of you people have serious issues. Why call the man 'common chemist'? That is very derogatory and disrespectful.

Many the more popular man win and may the result reflect the wishes of the electorate and...


May curses,misery and sorrow follow any man that would attempt to tamper with the results..

D APC realized d loophole Nd struggled to make up 4 it wif pix of ambo in Igbo attire littering market places Nd d oba courting d Igbo Nd tinubu literally begging dem..

Accept d truth he's a more experienced politician Dan ur ambo.. 4 a true son of d soil to b loved by natives Nd d foreigners is no mean feat

hw did jimi create ethnic tension, for ur info everybody has the right to vote who ever he/she want,

Don't tell me you guys have not seen this leaflet or you just want to pretend it is not divisive.

1. Deportation of Ndigbo. Yet we ask is it only Igbo destitutes that were repatriated? Why the emphasis on only Igbos if not to create ethnic divide.
2-6 Discrimination, victimisation and multiple taxation of Ndigbo: Again, we ask why the emphasis on Ndigbo? Is it only Igbos that are taxed in Lagos? How is the Igbo discriminated when Lagos remains the only state to give Igbos political appointment? How are Igbos victimised in Lagos?

JK is an as$hole for creating this tension in the ever peaceful Lagos. By the special grace of God, he will be disgraced today.

Lasgidi ought to be no-man land,anyboy can win,specially when there are different ethnic group in lagos.

JK is loved by all and if he is enjoying igbo support highten by the lagoon threat that is his luck.

Yoruba people are very tribalist naturally,at nysc in katsina state,while in the mixed of 2 or 3 yoruba corpers,and discussing,it would be long before they start speaking yoruba language.atimes they even speak yoruba to a non-yoruba.



The great awolowo once told the zik of africa to go to the east and contest for a seat rather than contestig from lagos.here is zik who fought colonalism and taking nigeria as 1 while awolowo was bias.

If not now 1 day igbo or any other tribe will win lagos.
I'm not Yoruba oooh, but sentiment apart Yoruba is the most civilised, peace and accommodating of all the majority language in Nigeria. We have lots of igbos here in the north especially Kano, Kaduna and Abuja but they dear not dream of any political appointment here no matter how strong they are in politics they can only be back office staffs like P.a or S.a... Same thing in Igbo land. An Igbo man can buy and build houses either in SW or North as a whole but no tribe can try that with our people.... We even fight one another mercilessly over dis not to talk of outsider. Don't get it twisted I'm not supporting Oba comment but nevertheless it's their territory. .... grin and non of these candidates are igbo so be wise..... wink

Precisely my point. If for nothing else, for creating ethnic tension in Lagos alone is enough to vote Ambode and send Jimi to political exile not only in Lagos but in the entire SW politics. If anything happens in Lagos, it will have massive effect across the country all because some daunce chemist want to take power by promoting ethnic divide in Lagos and support the idea of calling his homeland a no mans land. What a way to throw away your heritage; what a shame.
na your Oba cause everything stop blaming jimi. Your Oba threatened igbos.

Dont mind the traitor, but people are making a mistake if they think this is going to be a close race, I can gurantee you that Apc will win a landslide, Lagos state has over 5 million registered voters only about 2.2 million voted in the presidential elections, Pdp was able to do well in the presidential election becos George and Adams scared the people off with their massive gathering of armed thugs which march thru lagos just be4 the presidential election and still yet Pdp were unable to win the state, with Apc now becoming the governing party the police and army unwilling to get involved, Apc voters are going to troop out in mass, ward agents have been tasked to mobilise supporters and tinubu is in lagos to personally direct activities , dont be surprise if Apc get over 1.5 million votes, for a state that has consistenly been in the hands of Apc despite Pdp control of power for 16 years coupled with the use of the card reader every single possible variable is favouring Apc, the truth is, Lagos is firmly in the hands of Apc

You are biased.

How could you leave out your infamous Oba Akiolu video and speech?. Those are the People causing ethnic tension in Lagos.
Agbaje alone is not enough to convince Igbo voters. Those lists are nonsense.

If Igbos vote against apc, they would be reacting to first hand experiences in the hands of Apc and not because someone compelled them.
You don't force Igbos to vote, learn that. Most people would either travel or stay indoors but various negative encounters with Lagos state govt have woken them from their political slumbers. Fashola used lots of cane and no carrot. A more responsible govt would have met these people appealed to them but the govt always replied with their 'go back to your villages'. He didn't not visit the traders at ladipo or elsewhere but instead he allowed your oba to harrass them with the imposition of a jobless man called babaloja to collect more levies for him, same way his boys went out to collect bribes at check points during those days...old habit die hard. lipsrsealed..

Whoever wins, I hope they do the right things and act in the best interests of every citizen of Lagos.

Let me start with your last statement (prayer) AMEN
Agbaje is my problem, not because of his qualifications but because he followed the politics of ethnicity path. That is why I used the "chemist" term just to spite him in my own little way albeit not very effective I have to admit embarassed (with due respect to all sensible chemists)
Why on earth will he even think of making such a sentence of elevating Eze to the status of Oba of Lagos just for the sake of sensitisation of Igbos in Lagos. What will he do if (God forbids) crisis breaks out and some id!otic Yoruba men decides to unleash mayhem on innocent Igbo men on account of the Oba's statement (which I think is wrong). You can blame such ugly incident on the Oba but without the provocation, that statement may not have been spoken. People should know where to draw the line when playing politics.

So now Igbokwe and Nwabueze are no longer Igbos abi? What will satisfy you guys? Until Lagos give the Obi of Onitsha political appointment? Please get real.

If the Igbos are agitated by the actions of Fashola's gov, then they don't need to be incited by any politician. Why the emphasis on Igbos in the pamphlet he circulated? Are all the issued limited to only Igbos? Don't the Yoruba traders also pay fines and levies? Or you guys want to do business without paying a dime to the host government? Don't traders (Igbos and others) pay fines and levies in Igbo states?
