Photos: Akinwunmi Ambode pays courtesy visit to Oba of Lagos
Lagos state Governor-elect, Akinwunmi Ambode paid a
courtesy visit to the Oba of Lagos, HRH Oba Rilwan Akiolu yesterday April 13th. Another photo
after the cut..
hmmmm.. let me guess wot d Oba is saying... "shey u see all those stupid pple in Ojo, amuwo Odofin and Igbo areas... make sure u ignore dem ooo.. let them go and meet Agbaje for development"
And the first thing he does was to go and show appreciation to the oba for helping him threaten ibos to submission. And they all denied they were not part of the plot. Very sad. Ndigbo ! Welu ile unu gua eze unu onu !
The Oba must be respected, he already apologized for what he said. It was wrong, agreed. People have moved on already. Ambode, ride on, you must perform oh.
Oba must have repented and known d wiser not to make such derogatory statement again. As I know, most indigbos are Christians, so they sure must have a forgiving heart. He who does not forgive, ends up being a prisoner to his ownself. Oya my Igbo brothers and sisters, go and give d Oba a hug, lol
To whom it may concern... from a reliable source JK will be given an appointment by Lagos state. He will be charged with d responsibility of evicting d igbo's frm our main markets. Eko oni baje o
When will all these hatred stop? When will tribal discrimination stop. No body is born tribalistic. Think of it, as a baby/child you play with whom ever you find friendly. The society just makes you a racist. You can chose to resist it just as the developed countries have tied to do. To grow as a nation we must understand this . please read the write up below with your sincere heart Igbo or Yoruba
Human Being no Be God

A few days ago, the Oba of Lagos threatened Igbo leaders. If they did not vote for his governorship candidate in Lagos, he said, they would be thrown into the lagoon. His entire speech was a flagrant performance of disregard. His words said, in effect: I think so little of you that I don’t have to cajole you but will just threaten you and, by the way, your safety in Lagos is not assured, it is negotiable.
There have been condemnations of the Oba’s words. Sadly, many of the condemnations from non-Igbo people have come with the ugly impatience of expressions like ‘move on,’ and ‘don’t be over-emotional’ and ‘calm down.’ These take away the power, even the sincerity, of the condemnations. It is highhanded and offensive to tell an aggrieved person how to feel, or how quickly to forgive, just as an apology becomes a non-apology when it comes with ‘now get over it.’
Other condemnations of the Oba’s words have been couched in dismissive or diminishing language such as ‘The Oba can’t really do anything, he isn’t actually going to kill anyone. He was joking. He was just being a loudmouth.’
Or – the basest yet – ‘we are all prejudiced.’ It is dishonest to respond to a specific act of prejudice by ignoring that act and instead stressing the generic and the general. It is similar to responding to a specific crime by saying ‘we are all capable of crime.’ Indeed we are. But responses such as these are diversionary tactics. They dismiss the specific act, diminish its importance, and ultimately aim at silencing the legitimate fears of people.
We are indeed all prejudiced, but that is not an appropriate response to an issue this serious. The Oba is not an ordinary citizen. He is a traditional ruler in a part of a country where traditional rulers command considerable influence – the reluctance on the part of many to directly chastise the Oba speaks to his power. The Oba’s words matter. He is not a singular voice; he represents traditional authority. The Oba’s words matter because they are enough to incite violence in a political setting already fraught with uncertainty. The Oba’s words matter even more in the event that Ambode loses the governorship election, because it would then be easy to scapegoat Igbo people and hold them punishable.
This also would have been the case had Abgaje won the election. Bottom line is that this Oba rules Lagos , irrepective of whoever the civil governor is. So those who picked up a fight with the oba made a fatal mistake. The oba can make ur stay comfortable or uncomfortable in Lagos in a systematic manner. QED.
Na so, the same way your brothers and sisters without papers in uk and USA have left. Abeg pack well. Awon alai nironnu. Thiefnubu's sycophants. Shame!!!!
@joy dt was a joke right. i laugh in igbomina. Lagos oba is not even conc, a lot of his subjects dont ever interact wt him. The oba in my village dictates every aspect of how everything is run. If he's angry wt u u dont even explain urself in his presence, u end d visit wt kabiyesi igbakeji orisa, ade a pelori, bata a pelese & then exit stage left. U go & find one of d chiefs hes close to to go and do explanation on ur behalf.
And with ur earlier comments on jonathan, I'm sure u knw ur future already. If u don't den dis is it, u will never enjoy d old. Cos I can rmbr all ur curse and disrespectful statements bout d Jonathan's
Weda u like it or not Yorubas are d most libra people in nija, imagine a Yoruba man or woman contesting a post in Igbo or Hausa land, it's not going to happen in 4 generations to come, pls lets clap for lagosians I mean son of the soil. I hate a slogan of LAGOS IS NO MANS LAND. IT BELONGS TO YORUBAS NOT IGBOS OR HAUSAS.

All the rubbish statement you igbos are saying on this blog make one believe you never have respect for your tradition, lagos is not "no man's land"oba is the owner of the land so accorrd him the respect he deserves. Can 1 do all that nonsense you are doing here in onisha or enugu.better mind your words
▶ Delusional talk.... well, if you believe the Oba can make someones life systematically unbearable, also remember that there's a higher authority who can unleash quadruple of the intended misery on the Oba.....#Justsaying #Godpassman
The Ibos really need to be wise. This scammer wore igbo traditional robes calling for their votes in run up to the elections and continued begging even when the Man called out the Igbos with threats of dying in the lagoon. Now you see the real man in him, he couldn't even pay a courtsy visit to the leadership of the Igbos in Lagos but quickly ran to this same agent of anarchy to thank him. Igbos BE WISE.

Oba must have repented and known d wiser not to make such derogatory statement again. As I know, most indigbos are Christians, so they sure must have a forgiving heart. He who does not forgive, ends up being a prisoner to his ownself. Oya my Igbo brothers and sisters, go and give d Oba a hug, lol

To show his appreciation and loyalty. Linda take note!
Ndigbo can go back to Onitsha, Nnewi ,Enugu etc for all we care
