After watching the video and seeing the Igbo leaders laughing and clapping while he made those comments, I quite see reasons with Pat Utomi.
But that shouldn't take away the fact that he made an unguided statement, not worthy of his position.

Ambode will still win sha, with a landslide by God's Grace. PDP is trying to capitalize in this but it won't work

Diffuse this Linda.A burning Nigeria pays no one.I don't want to return to my village and as unpatriotic as this may sound,I have received more love from others than I have from mine.No one in my family has ever married from home because I am sure you know our brothers aren't the most respectful of women.But like I said,let this go.I'd rather be here as a tenant than go back and meet those people.What my mother saw in their hands when.......

Shame on you Prof. Pat Utomi. You certainly are the first lilly livered Ibusa man that I have ever seen. selling your Igbo brothers out just for a plate of porridge. Just because you are a card carrying member of APC you are lending your credibility to cover up a crime as heinous as this. What where you offered for this Minister of Finance, Economy, Investments or the CBN governor. I am sure after it all they will offer you a village in one of the Yoruba states. Shame on you.

Dear Lagosian,

Yoruba,s are very decent and reasonable people. No tribe will entertain on their land what is going on in Lagos.

We all condemn the statement of OBA AKIOLU. But let ask ourselves one important question, WHY IS OBA AKIOLU ANGRY WITH IGBOS?


My answers are:

1. I WILL ELEVATE EZE NDIGBO TO THE STATUS OF OBA OF LAGOS - JIMI AGBAJE.

2. IGBO WILL DETERMINE WHO RULES LAGOS- IFEANYI UBAH

3. LAGOS IS NO MAN'S LAND.- IFEANYI UBAH DURING TAN CAMPAIGN.

4. IGBO DEVELOPED AND CONTROL LAGOS- JIMI AGBAJE DURING GEJ CAMPAIGN IN AKWA IBOM

5. WE MUST PRODUCE THE NEXT DEPUTY GOVERNOR OF LAGOS- EZE NDIGBO

MY QUESTIONS TO IGBOS,

1. CAN OBI OF ONITHSA ACCEPT ALL THE ABOVE MENTIONED?

2. CAN EMIR OF KANO ACCEPT ....?

3. DO YOU HAVE ANY SINGLE TRIBE IN YOUR CABINET IN THE EAST?

4. CAN ANY TRIBE CLAIM ONITHSA OR ABA TO BE NO MAN,S LAND?

5. CAN OBI OF ONITHSA ACCEPT THE ELEVATION OF SARKIN HAUSA IN ONITHSA TO OBI STATUS?

My conclusion: We have been living together as brothers for years in peace. You must respect our tradition and institutions.Ifeanyi Ubah should stop jumping around Lagos beating drums of war.

GOD BLESS YORUBA AND IGBO

Please Pat.... SHUT UP

1. Did he ever mention that you will die?

2. Did you even watch the video to know that he meant what he said? such seriousness.

3. Two days and no Royal apologies.

I promise you by the power of my PVC and that of 700,000 others.

I am igbo and i also believe so. I have met the Oba several years ago when he was initially enthroned. However i am voting pdp for other reasons. I live allong the Lekki Epe expressway and i don't like the fact that their are 3 toll gates along that axis. I also feel that every Lagosian should have clean running water which is a basic neccessity of life. With all the taxes Lagos state charges and the revenue they make each month why should we not have that.Every body keeps on commending APC for the work they have done in Lagos but they forget that most of the development are from private and foriegn investors and the one that we have in Lekki we are being tolled heavily for it. The N6billion given to Tinubu's company every month for collecting taxes is way too much. Most of that money can be used to better the lives of Lagosians.

Much Ado About Nothing! The Oba of lagos can say what he likes, there are 200 more other Oba's and Baales in lagos. Oba of lagos is the king of lagos island? Big deal! This is just a storm out of a teacup, what the oba said in that video doensn't warrant the drama they are making this into. Look people should come out In masses and vote - all ethnic groups. Someone has brought up the theory that the Oba was Paid By PDP because he made a Freudian slip by saying he speaks with "Jonathan everyday" this is looking like a BIG possibility. What ever the case, the fact still stands, this not about Igbo leaders in lagos or Oba of lagos island. what we have at hand is the qualification of Ambode vs agbaje. The difference is clear. Ambode is the one with experience and readiness. Lagosians (yoruba, efik, awori etc) are too intelligent for this hoopla. Everyone should turn out in mass for the soul of lagos and to support Ambode. I see this being good, pdp think they can make drama, instead they've stirred passion and this will make everyone turn out. Everyone turning out - Advantage APC.

Does that make any sense" OBA spoke in jest?" A role model should always stay inline with those characteristics that measures such status. It wasnt an attack on a person like Prof.wants to make it look but on an entire tribe of the Igbo race. Now i can't blame our youths anymore on this stereotyping behaviours because with the Oba's statement I have seen that it now has to do with gene and hereditary.#stopthehate #stoptribalism #stoptheseparation

Pat Utomi stop giving excuses for the Oba, he was in a formal gathering and not in a hilarious or Comedy setting. I expect you as a true Christian to condemn what is bad and stop making excuses for him because you are a politician. Pls talk wt a clear mind, ur reasons have absolutely no bearing with the his comments. I am an APC member but with his careless Statement I would vote for JKAY and let's see if he Oba can stop what God has ordained. Expect u Pat to tell the Oba the Statement is wrong and he should apologise and not ur giving excuses for his comment. Probably ur doing so, so u cld get a placement in the incoming government. Let ur conscionable fear no one and let the truth be told at all.times irrespective of what u are trying to gain please

Even though he has his right to his opinion but he should be circumspect about it. If he connived with Tinubu & Akiolu to yank off Lagosians of the land upon which LBS was built, they should enjoy their loots while it lasts & not use issue as serious as threat to lives of Igbos as point of expressing patronage. After this cross country, they shall all give account.

Yorubas don't mind changing government every year for the best candidate (ask Ekiti and Ondo). The other regions are tribalistic, they'll support their pple irrespective of gud governance or not.
So Yorubas are the game changer, mix that with ur tribalistic region who supports u regardless and u're on ur way to the Aso Rock

That we now have State Reps in Lagos of Igbo descent should not come as a surprise to anyone. rather it should be seen as a sign of the political awareness, sophistication, and development, as well as the cosmopolitan nature of of Lagos State. Nigerians are winning electoral posts in the UK and USA. We're in what I call a "global household". Your work will speak for you and it shall be seen by all at electronic speed worldwide, thanks to the INTERNET. As for Lagos, this is just the beginning, the best is yet to come. EKO Akete, Aromi sa legbe legbe. I look forward to the first female Governor coming out of Lagos State before any other state in Nigeria. Long live the Centre of Excellence!!!

This jest or joke pass political statement against the Igbos ethnics group.The Igbos are not contesting Lagos state governorship election. But they are just common electorate who has the right to make a choice between Ambode APC and Agbaje PDP.This drowning of Igbos in lagoon remain a source of concern. Buying a life jacket on my mind before the Saturday election.

Pat Utomi...as well read and traveled as you are I find it hard to believe you can utter such an ignorant and self serving comment. You do not and will never speak for Igbos. May God forgive you for your cowardice and for not being forthright enough to tell your "friends" when they do wrong

Dear Lagosian,

Yoruba,s are very decent and reasonable people. No tribe will entertain on their land what is going on in Lagos.

We all condemn the statement of OBA AKIOLU. But let ask ourselves one important question, WHY IS OBA AKIOLU ANGRY WITH IGBOS?


My answers are:

1. I WILL ELEVATE EZE NDIGBO TO THE STATUS OF OBA OF LAGOS - JIMI AGBAJE.

2. IGBO WILL DETERMINE WHO RULES LAGOS- IFEANYI UBAH

3. LAGOS IS NO MAN'S LAND.- IFEANYI UBAH DURING TAN CAMPAIGN.

4. IGBO DEVELOPED AND CONTROL LAGOS- JIMI AGBAJE DURING GEJ CAMPAIGN IN AKWA IBOM

5. WE MUST PRODUCE THE NEXT DEPUTY GOVERNOR OF LAGOS- EZE NDIGBO

MY QUESTIONS TO IGBOS,

1. CAN OBI OF ONITHSA ACCEPT ALL THE ABOVE MENTIONED?

2. CAN EMIR OF KANO ACCEPT ....?

3. DO YOU HAVE ANY SINGLE TRIBE IN YOUR CABINET IN THE EAST?

4. CAN ANY TRIBE CLAIM ONITHSA OR ABA TO BE NO MAN,S LAND?

5. CAN OBI OF ONITHSA ACCEPT THE ELEVATION OF SARKIN HAUSA IN ONITHSA TO OBI STATUS?

My conclusion: We have been living together as brothers for years in peace. You must respect our tradition and institutions.Ifeanyi Ubah should stop jumping around Lagos beating drums of war.

GOD BLESS YORUBA AND IGBO

I know Oba Akiolu and I know people He has said worse things too, remember, He was a Policeman in charge of Anti Robbery, so harmless he is, Bad mouthed He is. So the Politicians should not make a mountain out of a molehill, when most people know that is the way he talks.

Shame on you, Pat Utomi, shame!!!!!!!

Étu Pat !!!!!!!!!! But was I expecting anything better from you no , ndi ala , of course he has to be your friend so both of you can fleece Lagos of it's land and arm twist the land owners, onye zuzu .
Better keep it zipped up , he must have called you up to post this , your sorry asses are on fire .
Ndigbo Biko open your eyes don't allow these clowns misled us.
There is no gain saying he hates us .

Anonymous said...

Hate speech is never okay. Making excuses for the Oba speaks volume. I am yoruba living in the States and I see racism all around me, and it saddens my heart when we as Nigerians carry so much hate in our heart. How can the white man treat us with love and dignity when we cant even love our fellow brother? How can we as a nation grow, when there is so much tribalism in our hearts? Some people say let this issue die but if we dont talk about it, how are things going to get better? MLK did not keep quiet on Blacks in the States, so we should not keep quiet as well

Anonymous said...

Prof forget this excuse! That you're an APC member do not in any way justify the stupid statements made by that foolish, swine-like Oba! Yes, you may want to get some appointments in the incoming regime, but that shouldn't be exchanged for an insult on your kinsmen!

Anonymous said...

No doubt Pat Utomi is a fine gentleman. & the igbo community all over the world hold him in a very high esteem.
But being now an APC member & chieftain, I will doubt if he is not being political with his defense on the threat & insult wrapped like akara in a paper, asking the igbos in lagos to come pick on.
My humble & respectful advice to Pat Utomi is not to allow his political alignment with these wolfs in sheep's clothing soil his hard earned name & image, especially with his igbo brothers & sisters.
The yoruba denigration of the Igbo race did not start today. It was in same vein that Awolowo invented his cross carpeting slogan to humiliate The great Zik of Africa in 1952 in the contest of western Regional governor, when he pulled his Yoruba brothers to move from their then party to another cos of his tribal & ethnic tendencies. That unpopular action of Awolowo gave birth to the nonsense & non ideological politics that is playing out in Nigeria today.
I urge the Igbo men & women in Lagos to go out on saturday & vote in a thunderous manner in favor of JIMI AGBEJE & let us see if the lagoon of #Oba Akiolu's lagos will contain us all.
#Oba Akiolu does not even have authority over the whole state of Lagos. As Epe has their Oba, Badagary has theirs & so does all other autonomous communities in Lagos State.
God Bless The Igbo race! God bless Lagos State! God bless Nigeria.

Unknown said...

Lolzzzzzz. Dis is wht usually happens when old age is approaching. He might b right, and I think d Oba might not really mean his words thereof.

Damochedxb said...

Yes Linda it is what it is. A tongue in cheek statement blown out of proportion. The Oba was fully aware that he was being recorded. He has since apologised for the reckless statement, but it seems some of you are thrilled by the possibility of the outbreak of a tribal war as y'all want the Oba of Lagos to come and prostrate before you all calm down.

Unknown said...

Prof. Utomi, I always respect yoy as a man who doesn't mix truth with lies, but in this case u are getting me confused. I guess you listened to the voice recording and video clips. You very well understand communication, both verbal and non-verbal. If a man swears profoundly, severally, in about a minute recording, yet you call that jest, then I will have a re-think on my initial perception about you.

From an educated point of view, my colleagues & I sometimes pass tribal/ethnic jabs @ each other......With the brewing storm usually associated with Naija elections, I suppose you'll still think your beloved oba's "jesting" when Yorubas begin to physically attack & maim Igbos should APC loose the election??

Unknown said...

This is simply being blown out of proportion! Meanwhile, people (igbos) were there clapping while he was saying this, so what is the fuse about?

Nonsense Prof! U r learned and knows what to say and what not to say in public. There's such a thing as socially accepted behavior. Educated illiterates.

1. Nothing was said in jest in the video I watched. He never laughed thruout, he had game face on thruout
2. Saying this is being blown out of proportion is just stupid, we have federal character that is trying to fight tribalism so no be today e start
3. Even if you see it as jokes, I have a right not to see it as same without accusing me of wanting tribal war
4. For this remark, not even licking the floor will allow me forgive him.
5. We the learned Yorubas that stand against such idiocy have always been calm, not like the Oba knows anything about being calm tho. Direct that part to our dear boobookitty oba.

Thanks Damostic

The fuss is about being in such an environment where an Oba is openly telling you this much shit and you are so aware of the threat to your life that you find the only option available is to clap for him.
That's bondage

OJIMAN said...

Tension every where. We should learn to accommodate. Prof. Utomi is Igbo. He says the man he'd known for some 20 years couldn't have meant that. Why don't we chill and give him the benefit of doubt? Has the Oba ever harassed Ndigbo since his reign? Let's look deeper in order to eschew being used as pawns in the political landscape. Lets forgive the Oba, please.

Pat Utomi , one vote. Who go vote this one?hahaha. You never saw his rallies. Pat one vote. Nah only him go vote for himself. Biggest joker. All that Prof nah wash. Person wen no serious.

ibeakwadalam said...

Pat Utomi, you must be one of those who condone your 'friends' saying inappropriate things. If you had corrected him he might have learnt that it was not appropriate.

But like the dutiful Igbo you sheepishly laughed at his 'jokes' thinking you were doing him a favor.

Maybe you accept those 'jokes' because you too participate in such 'jokes' hence, don't take any offense.

UNHAPPY NIGERIAN. said...

@ ANONYMOUS 2:12pm, shame on eyou. The apc has denied the statement. Maybe they will learn civility and democracy in due cause. For now they are not And the oba portrays that dirty myopicdomoineering mind set & fear of what he other thing person because there is a foreseen different. Is called xenophobic, cowardice, undemocratic. henceforth, democracy Will be forced through. If force is what is required to keep drive home the tenets of democracy so be it. Oba has no right or power and since we can't shout at him nor beat him. We will join hands with our brothers & sisters from the Yoruba folks and other tribes in Nigeria that are entitled by law to vote in Lagos to vote Jimi Agbaje if not but to make a democratic statement to the Oba and all those that might still be thinking Luke him. One Nigeria.
