Oba of Lagos, Rilwan Akiolu, has read the riot act to Igbo leaders and monarchs in Lagos State, warning that he will make life unbearable for them if they sabotage efforts being made to ensure that the governorship candidate of All Progressives Congress (APC) Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode, emerges as the next governor of the state.
The monarch, who summoned all the Eze-Ndigbo in the state to his palace, said the support of their kensmen for the opposition party in the state could frustrate current efforts being made in all quarters to ensure that Lagos was no longer in opposition with the Federal Government.
He said: “On Saturday, if anyone of you goes against Ambode, who I picked, that is your end. If it does not happen within seven days, just know that I am a bastard and it is not my father who gave birth to me.
“By the grace of God, I am the owner of Lagos for the time being. This is an undivided chair. The palace belongs to the dead and those coming in the future. On Saturday, if anyone of you, I swear in the name of God, goes against my wish that Ambode will be the next governor of Lagos State, the person is going to die inside this water.
“For the Igbo and others in Lagos, they should go where the Oba of Lagos heads to. When they were coming to the state, they did not come with all their houses. But now, they have properties in the state. So they must do my bidding. And that is the bidding of the ancestors of Lagos and God.
“I am not ready to beg you. Nobody knew how I picked Ambode. Jimi is my blood relation and I told him that he could never be governor in Lagos for now. The future belongs to God. I am not begging anybody, but what you people cannot do in Onitsha, Aba or anywhere you cannot do it here.”

I hope Bode George is hearing this oooooo, I want to see his last blood being wasted | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
People don't want to know how much of them you know, but how much of them you do care for | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
dre11: okay sir, Igbos shouldn't vote ooo! But Yorubas in the East and Rivers must continue to vote. Chai, Igbos don suffer! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
No need for Oba to say all these. Agbaje is not winning next Saturday's election. He is expected to do well but not enough to win in Lagos.
60% - 40% in favor of Ambode. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
... and the intimidation continue... Oba, indeed.
Let the so called Oba know that power belongs only to Almighty God and He gives to whosoever He wishes. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
It is well... | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
not mincing words atall
the oba bares it all raw and stark bottom line is he spoke the truth | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
These Yorubas have goooooood leaders.
How can somebody leave his land to come and select your leader for you? Big Ups to the Oba. Lagos has been lead by an opposition party for too long. Now there is a golden opportunity and some people from another land are trying to stop it? That's not fair. I just hope they won't report him to ICC | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Oba you don't threaten anyone to vote for your candidate there is a better way of going abt it.you are not helping Ambode by doing that.
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
What a joker!!!!He sounds so scared of losing lol...
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
abduljabbar4: my biroda! Is that not like coming to pour 'san-san' inside another man's garri? | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Inkman:Yes na. They should go back to their villages and vote there | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
R.I.P pdp | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Yeye Oba. 99% of LAGOS residents don't know your name nor can they find their way to your palace. Omuti.
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
We are watching the ibos and all there shenanigans...............m.We told you not to take our gentility for weakness but you refused,hope you are ready for whaats coming?
I hope you have imported area boys from nnewi to help you fight the Agberos? Lagos belongs to Yorubas and it is not a No man's Land as you are fond of saying. Let's see how it goes though.... | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
abduljabbar4: nobody will report anybody... they will use their pVC and show him that after God, power belongs to the people. Moreover, I don't condone violence, but I feel if this was done in person, those men should have beat him up. lol JK. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Alcatraz001:But there are Igbo reps in lagos representing Oshodi and co. ... so how is it Yoruba land as opposed to Nigeria-land (since you don't like 'no man's land'?) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
I don't agree with d Oba, he surely doesn't have any right to force his idea of preferred candidate on the ibos. If Nigeria is truly one, he shouldn't threaten them with their places of origin
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Remarkable:But oil is your own ba? If that's the case then I'm okay. Lagos is a no mans land, oil is a no regions wealth. Its the wealth of Nigeria | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
R.I.P pdp | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
PDP propaganda, this Oba will never make such a statement carelessly.
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
TO KEEP NIGERIA ONE IS A TASK THAT MUST BE DONE!! | | | Nduka Chukwunenye was turbaned the "kukuwenu wazabanga" of Yorubaland by Negro_Ntns. | | | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
My dear Oba,
I never really wanted to vote in the gubernatorial election. But, because of your threat, I MUST VOTE NOW!!! By the way, I SHALL VOTE JIMI AGBAJE!!! Unless you can convince me he is a Cameroonian. Now, you can go and hang Sir! Or better still do your worse. Needless to remind you there is something called the reprisal doctrine in Nigeria.My dear Oba, have you ever wondered why northerners always leave the SE and SS during elections when Igbos leave the north? I'm also sure you've never visited my hometown Asaba nor shell RA PH, because you would have heard our "fellow nigerians' who would regret your senseless rant. Yeye dey smell | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
abduljabbar4: Logical answer. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
cjrane:I will give him your address | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

The first law I learnt on the streets is that no matter how strong you are or how well you can fight, you do not look for trouble away from home, you can defend yourself and quickly find an escape route if need arises.
1. You do not know the nooks and crannys of a strange land. 2. If wahala start and you are outnumbered as surely you will be, how do you escape. So since these guys have more to loose in potential income and possible destruction of goods if trouble starts, it is not wise to go against your hosts in any form..it is common sense. And really the Oba has a point, can his people go across the Niger and start telling their hosts that it is no mans land...take it or leave it, it is really disrespectful and no good can come out of it. Even other Yoruba tribes that are not indegenes of Lagos know their boundaries and limitations. When Mbu came and started flexing muscles, it did not take long for him to adjust... What you can't take dont try to give. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
What you see is what you get! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
They go everywhere and mess things up.. bleeping set of beast..u shall be put to shame with ur silly and animalistic attitude..we will drive u all out of lagos soon..u will b disgraced.
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
do if u wanna do, bluffing. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Good one from the Oba. A tribe that cant get her leaders into power should not be given the chance to destroy the opportunity of other tribes who are willing. The oba is not scared he has spoken. Take note!! He his an Oba not an Obi | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
After many years of atheism, I have nothing to regret and everything to enjoy. This is the nihility of God. . | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Spoken like a true King.
But the Oba of Lagos must realise that this is a democracy and people are entitled to their votes. While one understands his angst, we must all flow with the dictates of democracy. I voted Buhari in the federal elections and I will be voting Ambode as governor because I believe that the state will fare better under his control. Let each vote according to his convinction. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Anything beyond sufficiency is insignificant, | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
This man lack the quality of a leader. You should preach peace not vice.
His choice of words portray him as a cruel tout | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
i can do all things through christ who strenthens me | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
cjrane: I am calling my cousins in FESTAC to ask them to support and vote Jimi... how can you threaten an Igbo man? That's the last thing any wise Nigerian will do. Let's see when the heavens fall if some will be spared while crushing others. Nansense. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Remarkable: I'll come back to this post on April 13th. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
This is what happens when you make an egunje collecting petty police man your oba. Who is this unknown quantity? If a stewpid Akiolu wants Lagos to boil, he should go ahead and try nonsense. Touts dressed in some royal regalia. Empty threats won't fly. APC must be forced to feel the heat for all the Tinubu/fashola anti igbo policies come election day. Heavy taxes, heavy toles, deportations and intimidations in market places. Those are APCs legacies against the igbo in Lagos. It is payback time. Oba Akiolu should stop throwing tantrums and face the issues.
