Prof. Pat Utomi thinks Oba of Lagos was jesting with his remarks
Professor of political science and politician Prof. Pat Utomi took to twitter to share his
thoughts on the Oba of Lagos recent remarks to Igbos. He thinks the Oba spoke in jest. Another tweet after the cut
Some words are wrong whether it's a joke or not ....especially hateful words Shame on the Oba I really hope people will use the power of that vote and send a strong msg by voting for Jimi Agabje
Geroff here. Everything is politics to you. Did you even look at the video. There is a clear difference line between jest and seriousness. Geroff with your prof title
How about when he sees u, he jokingly says "Pat go and return our land where u built that school or else u n ur relatitives will drown in the lagoon in 7days, if it doesnt happen, know my father didnt "born" me" Dear prof, i would love to see u laff hilariously at such a beautiful joke!!!!
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.
Plsssss d oba was in his rite senze wen he made dt comment so he was joke he meant every single word of it. Pple shld stop sugar coating ds matter jare.
I don't belive that. You have personal relationship wth him doesn't matter my dear pat, the fact still states that he insulted the Igbos nd called us nothing.
Oba can so joke d hell out of an individual, m sad dis thing got everyone talking...n linda u didnt help matters i knw u r igbo bt pls atimes,be neutral.
I don't belive that. You have personal relationship wth him doesn't matter my dear pat, the fact still states that he insulted the Igbos nd called us nothing.
Uncle Pat , i dont think so, i know ur trying to calm ppl's nerves but the deed is done, the ship had sailed, the stone thrown landed on the wrong side. My Igbo ppl aint taking such nonsense as a jest or when did Oba became Ali baba or basket mouth.... He should apologize immediately without further delay. My Igbo brothers, make una no vex abeg
U see? Let us not fight.. forget that old oba.. he made expensive remarks but then again let's make peace amongst ourselves bcos if we start fighting or pointing fingers. We'll all lose at d end of the day. Silence has a voice, u just have to listen. Ignore d baba..
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....... Hmm.Its well.
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.
Pat Utomi is one of those people that needs to bearrested and jailed by Buhari. he is an embezzler of Govt.. funds and he also pays homage to the Oba of Lagos. they are all thieves and in the same category. a thief vindicating his partner in crime.

Even this twitte shows the Oba or what is trablistic,u should return their land? Pat Utomi are u not a Nigerian? Didn't u pay for the land? How is the land theirs? All the land in Nigeria belong to Nigerians...Go and rest joor

i respect this man very well tbh.. he might be friends with the Oba, but all igbos can't say the same... muslims don't swear to Allah whilst joking, Allah's holy name isn't used for joking, especially not by an elder muslim like Akiolu.. he swore to destroy my people in cold blood for not voting his choice,, prof. it's obvious he's tribalistic.. too late for whatever he's got to say...
This is the best direction to go in. He should publicly retract his comments and explain as Pat has done. Its such a hoge shame that so many Nigerians habour such baseless ill feelings towards ibos. How can you hate someone for being industrious and adaptable? Is that not what Africa needs?
Pat go sit down for gutter. D oba or what ever you call him is conscious of what he said. It part of unwarranted intimidation being meted out to d igbos in d various part of d country. Pat U have no moral justification to justify d oba's statement. D Igbos know what he meant.
Swearing by the Almighty Allah is a joke? Saying he's a bastard if within 7 days the Igbos don't drown in the lagoon a joke? Pat you must be high on something strong.
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.
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.
Stop making excuses for the 0ba juur. A threat is a threat. It's like someone threatening to kill you and your entire family. How funny is that huh..----C21
Oh God why are all this old men talking like kids. Before it was Pdp circulating it now the video is out you talk abt how he jokes. Who cares. Pat Utomi u r disgrace to your pple. An Oba threatens pple with death nd say de wont prosper you call that a joke. RUBBISH APC PARTY.
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.
Oh no no nooooo. Dont even say that here. You have known him for 20yrs? Good! *claps* So what about pple who dont know him and how he "jokes"? There is no excuse for ignorance. None at all. We shld reject tribalism in all its shades,shapes,size, colour and even height if necessary... Zita!
Thanks Prof, my Igbo people, take this as a statement from one of our VERY VERY OLD UNCLES WHO DO NOT BELIEVE IN MODERN DAY CIVILIZATION WHO SAY ALL THE WRONG THINGS BELIEVING THEY ARE TALKING IN WISDOM. THIS KABIYESI ONCE TOLD ME THE NAME OF MY HUSBAND GIRLFRIEND ( I told him I gave permission for the relationship) Laughters all around. PLEASE BIKO FORGIVE HIM. REMEMBER HE IS OLD OLD OLD OLD.

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
Pat Utomi's attempt to defend the Oba is an example of everything wrong with Nigeria where elder always fail to condemn evil and wrong action. very disappointing
If you actually listen to the audio and video, you will know that he was not serious. Having said that however, it was a bad timing for that kind of talk and not from a highly respected member of the populace. This is election period, tempers are high especially after the loss of PDP. His majesty should take the high road and apologize.
Shut up oga Prof, were you paid for this? We aint fools...That was clearly not a joke so let him receive all the negative reactions his stupid statement has caused #Msheeeeeew
Jesting, while swearing to almighty Allah? Pls tell us something else. He shld do the honourable thing,"render an apology". I'm not igbo and I am an APC supporter but that video clip stirred some anger in me too
Well I've watch the video and I know a jest from a threat. The Oba has goofed and lost votes for APC. No amount of PRO will take back this poor show of shame by a former retired police office, not donning a crown. How many people regard Oba's like him?
Shameless man. I loose my respect for you today for these tweets. How can the Oba summon Eze Ndigbo in Lagos and be jesting? Was this how you would have been our leader, Pat? I thought you know better.
Who is this talking. Pat what? I think you should not insult the intelligence of NIGERIANS. So they are scared of boomerang and now some damage control has to be done. Fuck Pat whatever his name is. Utomi my ass!!!
I can't believe that Prof. Utomi has degenerated to this level. He is trivialising those weighty statements & threats of Akiolu on Ndigbo in Lagos. Such a pity. What was he offered? 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.
This is going to be the next APC president in 2019. Igbos better recognize. Yorubas LOVE pat utomi. Very smart and always to the point. Igbos can scream tribalism from now till kingdom come and camp wt PDP.رWe yorubas are not like dt at heart and just like we voted massively for Jonathan in 2011, we will vote massively for Pat Utomi in 2019. And pls stop talking trash abt the oba, the sttmnt he made was not out of malice but god-fatherism. We yorubas might be angry wt what an oba said and not support it but will never ever talk bk to an oba so if ur waiting for lagos APC to say sthn. You will wait tire.
No soft landing for the rabbid dog terrorist on the throne. Igbos must vote pdp en mass on sturday. We got what you are doing pat utomi but no. Too late
U don't make such mistakes in such times. PDP pounced on that report and enjoy every bit of blowing it out of proportion. If PDP wins Lagos, they are on their road back to presidency in 4years time. Win Lagos, do great works, convince other Yoruba states and u've won presidency already. 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
Prof Pat Utomi. i hold in a lofty esteem and i want to believe you are a man of integrity that would call a spade a spade or stand for the truth, no matter whose ox is gored. I would personally prefer that u said nothing rather than call denigration of a people/race/tribe, a kind of joke. i know if someone says this to ur family, u will be pained bitterly but because u r in the public eye and do not wish to trade banters with the bastard oba, u chose this 'jesting' path. for reasons best known to u, u have reduced ur self esteem and integrity before men. Esau is better than u!!
Ok, building up more defensive mechanism and giving sorry excuses for his speech. If only he could just apologise already. Oops! There Are No More Fishes in the River, They're All in the Net. Forgive me Internet. Kindly visit www.thepinkjournalng.blogspot.com.
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.
Prof Pat, pls stop insulting our intelligence by telling us that this bastard, corrupt,insensitive,dumb,stupid Oba is jesting. it's annoying when people like u, whom, we look up to tow this path rather then speaking out in such a sensitive insult to a race/tribe/people. i will rather prefer u never said anything sir.
He is very silly, so he is trying to tell us that an agbalagba like the oba does not have control of his utterances abi? He does not know how joke abi? Arrant nonsense, lemme go and report to our alusi Okija first. SMH

Pat Utomi, I dont think that you should speak on behalf of the Oba. That you have known him for 20 yrs doesnt mean you know his heart.. that is how people get into trouble that is of no concern of theirs. btw one day you will find out that he is not joking about the Lagos biz sch land. #dontvouchforanyone
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
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?

Prof pat pls we love you but don't ever teach us any thing on this matter.he defile Igbos,he must face the music.what happened show us that APC is not a political party.but a gangster union
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.
Abeg Pat Utomi, den Don give you money? Obobo phanya. Which kin expensive joke be that? Please my people when these of nmanus are rude to you even jokenly give it back to them jokenly too. They are cowards
I am ashamed of you, prof!!!!!!! I have used all respect I had for you , how can you even try to defend this? Did you listen to the audio or watch the video? To think we all once thought you are the future of Nigerian politics so you are no better than them....
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 .
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
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!
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.
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.
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??
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.
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
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.
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.
@ 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.
Marwa was governor of Lagos. Did you die? Are ibos not behind the businesses in Abuja? Are they dead? Tribalism is tribalism whatever you dress it up as. Only in Africa do we do this nonsense.

I really hope people will use the power of that vote and send a strong msg by voting for Jimi Agabje
Speechless
Geroff here. Everything is politics to you. Did you even look at the video. There is a clear difference line between jest and seriousness.
Geroff with your prof title
I don't quite believe u prof. Utomi bcos the statement and the expression on his face were so real
The jester King.
How about when he sees u, he jokingly says "Pat go and return our land where u built that school or else u n ur relatitives will drown in the lagoon in 7days, if it doesnt happen, know my father didnt "born" me"
Dear prof, i would love to see u laff hilariously at such a beautiful joke!!!!
Pat, u better Shut your oxford dictionary mouth
Thank you prof,
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.
~BONARIO~says so via NOKIA LUMIA
I hope he was O
hummmmm dt oba get mouth ooo
Plsssss d oba was in his rite senze wen he made dt comment so he was joke he meant every single word of it. Pple shld stop sugar coating ds matter jare.
I don't belive that. You have personal relationship wth him doesn't matter my dear pat, the fact still states that he insulted the Igbos nd called us nothing.
I dont think so.
SHOCKING Reasons You Should Never MASTURBATE !!!
no comment all i know is that he can not do anything i will aiways vote hu i want to vote
Albino biko kpuchie onu....
Oba can so joke d hell out of an individual, m sad dis thing got everyone talking...n linda u didnt help matters i knw u r igbo bt pls atimes,be neutral.
I don't belive that. You have personal relationship wth him doesn't matter my dear pat, the fact still states that he insulted the Igbos nd called us nothing.
Pat utomi,dont drag urself in d mud.a word is enof for d wise
Linda ur milking this for all its worth because of your political preference. More grease to your elbows.
Tosin
Uncle Pat , i dont think so, i know ur trying to calm ppl's nerves but the deed is done, the ship had sailed, the stone thrown landed on the wrong side. My Igbo ppl aint taking such nonsense as a jest or when did Oba became Ali baba or basket mouth.... He should apologize immediately without further delay.
My Igbo brothers, make una no vex abeg
Well, the joke is an expensive one and the timing is so very wrong. Linda take note!
U see? Let us not fight.. forget that old oba.. he made expensive remarks but then again let's make peace amongst ourselves bcos if we start fighting or pointing fingers. We'll all lose at d end of the day. Silence has a voice, u just have to listen. Ignore d baba..
Well, the joke is an expensive one and the timing is so very wrong. Linda take note!

If you don't like the success stories of the
Ibos then write your own and stick with it.....
Quote from late prof Chinua Achebe.
Truly anyone who know Oba well knows that's how he jokes around. I don't think he meant to offend, sure he has learnt it's not cool now.
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.......
Hmm.Its well.
Lol @ hold Asiwaju.
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.
Ur Opinion Mr Pat if u see d boastfulness n arrogant on his body language as he was speaking U wil agree it wasn't a jest as u may hv claim
Judging by that video, d oba was dead serious. That obviously wasnt a joke.

Funny Enough, my Mum who has met me on several occasions, said something similar.
Pat Utomi is one of those people that needs to bearrested and jailed by Buhari. he is an embezzler of Govt.. funds and he also pays homage to the Oba of Lagos. they are all thieves and in the same category. a thief vindicating his partner in crime.

Prof oba might be jesting about the lagoon but what about publicly declaring that he picked the Apc candidate.
Even this twitte shows the Oba or what is trablistic,u should return their land? Pat Utomi are u not a Nigerian? Didn't u pay for the land? How is the land theirs? All the land in Nigeria belong to Nigerians...Go and rest joor
HAHAHAHAHAH THUNDER DON LOCATE THE OBA OF LAGOON I MEAN LAGOS,I'VE KNOW HIM FOR LIKE 6 YEARS HE TALKS MORE THAN THIS.
HIS JUST A TOUT.

Abeg hold am there o,cos we dont believe that
i respect this man very well tbh.. he might be friends with the Oba, but all igbos can't say the same... muslims don't swear to Allah whilst joking, Allah's holy name isn't used for joking, especially not by an elder muslim like Akiolu.. he swore to destroy my people in cold blood for not voting his choice,, prof. it's obvious he's tribalistic.. too late for whatever he's got to say...
This is the best direction to go in. He should publicly retract his comments and explain as Pat has done. Its such a hoge shame that so many Nigerians habour such baseless ill feelings towards ibos. How can you hate someone for being industrious and adaptable? Is that not what Africa needs?
If u like know him from ur mother's stomach...it doesn't change the fact that he is stupid delusional old man...go rest

Pat go sit down for gutter. D oba or what ever you call him is conscious of what he said. It part of unwarranted intimidation being meted out to d igbos in d various part of d country. Pat U have no moral justification to justify d oba's statement. D Igbos know what he meant.
Excuses everywhr
Swearing by the Almighty Allah is a joke? Saying he's a bastard if within 7 days the Igbos don't drown in the lagoon a joke? Pat you must be high on something strong.
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 am a Yoruba man and will NEVER insult my Oba. Notwithstanding, grant us a free and fair election, BYE BYE to APC in Lagos.
I promise you by the power of my PVC and that of 700,000 others.
I concur. Very true, but most people don't know him.
That one na una problem......we need light in Nigeria.
D Lagoon will definitely consume d oba. CAPITAL FOOL
D Lagoon will definitely consume d oba. CAPITAL FOOL
Mtcheeewww...Oga pat mbok park for one side
@Oba "ofemanu" was not joking...he meant all what he said
Nonsense n ingredient
@Galore
Damage control!!!
Oh please Pat don't make excuse for the OBA for what you stand to gain.
Like this he will make worse statement. If he can't say sorry as OBA he should have hold his tounge and jest as oba too in public.
dats rubbish such person should nt be called a leader but a jester
dats rubbish such person should nt be called a leader but a jester
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.
Na yhu know
Linda stupid fool Ikeji!!! When u were making jest of the Ibadan people it was 'sweeting your belly '' may all u ibos rot in hell! Motherfuckers!!
Out of the abundant of the heart.
The jest is now a national issue. Corrupting the mind of others.
Buh linda na, u sef dey show off, stop prolonging dis ish, d more u post abt dis,awon igbo goons go dey vex oo
Pat please dont make light of this. It is not funny what the OLD FOOL ssid.
mtchew dumb man,foolish defence
Then he should be more careful the way he runs his mouth. There are more tensions in the country already abeg
Stop making excuses for the 0ba juur. A threat is a threat. It's like someone threatening to kill you and your entire family. How funny is that huh..----C21
Agbaje for Governor. Jk we know Jk we trust.
#obaoflagosvsigbosinlagos
That's BS...see what money can do to an educated man...SMH
Useless Utomi cos you are benefiting from these corrupt people, you think the oba is jesting.
Shame on you Utomi
Now trying to defend him....what he did was unacceptable...
Oh God why are all this old men talking like kids. Before it was Pdp circulating it now the video is out you talk abt how he jokes. Who cares. Pat Utomi u r disgrace to your pple. An Oba threatens pple with death nd say de wont prosper you call that a joke. RUBBISH APC PARTY.
Everyone shud take it easy with dis Oba threat....
Moye says so via BB Passport...Courtesy LIB....
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.
Oh no no nooooo. Dont even say that here. You have known him for 20yrs? Good! *claps* So what about pple who dont know him and how he "jokes"? There is no excuse for ignorance. None at all. We shld reject tribalism in all its shades,shapes,size, colour and even height if necessary... Zita!
I fink d oba doesn't mean harm! He was just tryin to prove dt he has power, as for me I see nofin wrong wif wat he said! Sincerely
I fink d oba doesn't mean harm! He was just tryin to prove dt he has power, as for me I see nofin wrong wif wat he said! Sincerely
Thanks Prof, my Igbo people, take this as a statement from one of our VERY VERY OLD UNCLES WHO DO NOT BELIEVE IN MODERN DAY CIVILIZATION WHO SAY ALL THE WRONG THINGS BELIEVING THEY ARE TALKING IN WISDOM. THIS KABIYESI ONCE TOLD ME THE NAME OF MY HUSBAND GIRLFRIEND ( I told him I gave permission for the relationship) Laughters all around. PLEASE BIKO FORGIVE HIM. REMEMBER HE IS OLD OLD OLD OLD.
Vote jimi Agbaje for a better lagos state,not to some devilish minded set of people.
Pat, u call a threat jest. na wa for we nigerians oooo. money and power has turned some of us to fools that we see a spade and call it a hoe.
Listen to the dundun talking drum.
My final word on this issue!! Dear people,

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
The oba is sick, did anyone force them to sell their land? You gave me land while I gave you money and you talk rubbish.
Pat shut ur stinging mouth.... over ripe paw paw
Pulease! Please! Say smtin else. Stop defendin smtin bad. Rubbish
Pamscrib.blogspot.com
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
CN JOKE WIT U BT NOT DE ENTIRE TRIBE OF IGBO...TOMJERRYSWIT
Pat Utomi's attempt to defend the Oba is an example of everything wrong with Nigeria where elder always fail to condemn evil and wrong action. very disappointing
If you actually listen to the audio and video, you will know that he was not serious. Having said that however, it was a bad timing for that kind of talk and not from a highly respected member of the populace. This is election period, tempers are high especially after the loss of PDP. His majesty should take the high road and apologize.
Prof, plz dnt give us dat crap wat a jest, all we know he will die first b4 anybody
Shut up oga Prof, were you paid for this? We aint fools...That was clearly not a joke so let him receive all the negative reactions his stupid statement has caused #Msheeeeeew
Pat if he is your friend tell him the truth. The fact that he is your friend doesn't make what he said right.
Jesting, while swearing to almighty Allah? Pls tell us something else. He shld do the honourable thing,"render an apology". I'm not igbo and I am an APC supporter but that video clip stirred some anger in me too
Well I've watch the video and I know a jest from a threat. The Oba has goofed and lost votes for APC. No amount of PRO will take back this poor show of shame by a former retired police office, not donning a crown. How many people regard Oba's like him?
Stop trying to defend d old man,he meant every word he uttered
Gerrout Mr Utomi, do pple make jest with death threats, igbos ain't that foolish.
Shameless man. I loose my respect for you today for these tweets. How can the Oba summon Eze Ndigbo in Lagos and be jesting? Was this how you would have been our leader, Pat? I thought you know better.
Story, we should learn to accept our mistake
Who is this talking. Pat what? I think you should not insult the intelligence of NIGERIANS. So they are scared of boomerang and now some damage control has to be done. Fuck Pat whatever his name is. Utomi my ass!!!
Who made you the oba's spokes man? Let him come out and defend himself
Onye a dikwa vary stupid.
I can't believe that Prof. Utomi has degenerated to this level. He is trivialising those weighty statements & threats of Akiolu on Ndigbo in Lagos. Such a pity. What was he offered? 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.
Pls take several seats
Arrant nonsense!!!...I used to respect his views...he just disappointed many...to think he cud have been president...chai...nonsense n ingredients!!!
That could be a jest to you but an insult to igbo race. It becomes a jest because of fear of loosing your C of O. fear fear.
This is going to be the next APC president in 2019. Igbos better recognize. Yorubas LOVE pat utomi. Very smart and always to the point. Igbos can scream tribalism from now till kingdom come and camp wt PDP.رWe yorubas are not like dt at heart and just like we voted massively for Jonathan in 2011, we will vote massively for Pat Utomi in 2019. And pls stop talking trash abt the oba, the sttmnt he made was not out of malice but god-fatherism. We yorubas might be angry wt what an oba said and not support it but will never ever talk bk to an oba so if ur waiting for lagos APC to say sthn. You will wait tire.
Pat Utomi you are a fool. Akiolu said " i swear to God Almighty Allah" and you call that a jest.. you are an idiot, Pat Utomi!
No soft landing for the rabbid dog terrorist on the throne. Igbos must vote pdp en mass on sturday. We got what you are doing pat utomi but no. Too late
Rubbish
U don't make such mistakes in such times. PDP pounced on that report and enjoy every bit of blowing it out of proportion. If PDP wins Lagos, they are on their road back to presidency in 4years time. Win Lagos, do great works, convince other Yoruba states and u've won presidency already.
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
this pat na wa to you.....
Prof Pat Utomi. i hold in a lofty esteem and i want to believe you are a man of integrity that would call a spade a spade or stand for the truth, no matter whose ox is gored. I would personally prefer that u said nothing rather than call denigration of a people/race/tribe, a kind of joke. i know if someone says this to ur family, u will be pained bitterly but because u r in the public eye and do not wish to trade banters with the bastard oba, u chose this 'jesting' path. for reasons best known to u, u have reduced ur self esteem and integrity before men. Esau is better than u!!
The last tweet tho!i like*smiles
Juu Suppy fun Suppy joor!
Ok, building up more defensive mechanism and giving sorry excuses for his speech. If only he could just apologise already. Oops! There Are No More Fishes in the River, They're All in the Net. Forgive me Internet. Kindly visit www.thepinkjournalng.blogspot.com.
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.
Rubbish
wayasay ???? Pat e be like say u no dey think well again
Pat Utomi you are wrong. i know your are an APC man but try to say the right thing .
Pat what i expect of you to say is that OBA was wrong and an apology is required. stop painting it to be a jest
Prof Pat, pls stop insulting our intelligence by telling us that this bastard, corrupt,insensitive,dumb,stupid Oba is jesting. it's annoying when people like u, whom, we look up to tow this path rather then speaking out in such a sensitive insult to a race/tribe/people. i will rather prefer u never said anything sir.
i need wole soyinka to respond to this. i think he is the only sane man around
please get patrick obahiagbon to comment
He is very silly, so he is trying to tell us that an agbalagba like the oba does not have control of his utterances abi? He does not know how joke abi? Arrant nonsense, lemme go and report to our alusi Okija first. SMH

Actually I think so 2, just dat igbos v taken it out of proportion as they do every thing else, Uche.
Go and watch the video before u comment!!
I watched that video and he was damn serious.
They was no jesting there.
Stop trying to cover up for him.
Not everything should be said as a joke, 'cos it won't go down well with everybody.
#TeamBlessed#
Pat Utomi, I dont think that you should speak on behalf of the Oba. That you have known him for 20 yrs doesnt mean you know his heart.. that is how people get into trouble that is of no concern of theirs. btw one day you will find out that he is not joking about the Lagos biz sch land. #dontvouchforanyone
More of the damage control.
Many thanks Pat... you too much!
#Tolerance #Fairness #Unity #Peace
Lol....humorously humourous.
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

Nonsense...what kind of jest is that...that is sadistic
indeed... pat call a spade a spade pls...
Oba rilwan is vindicated
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.
what a shame you are to the igbos- pat utomi
Linda are you frying akara with the comments???
@Pat Utomi, He is a tribalist, you just never knew. He may have meant all he said but cowardly made it look like a jest to you.
which kind of jest is that, birds of d same feather. amarom ma ndia amachasikwa ihe.
Abeg Pat Utomi, den Don give you money? Obobo phanya. Which kin expensive joke be that? Please my people when these of nmanus are rude to you even jokenly give it back to them jokenly too. They are cowards
choi prof. now they will rant that Asiwaju still dey sign C of O. lol.
SHUT UP!!!! Pat.
You are part of the conspiracy against the Southern Nigeria with your lukewarm attitude.
Then he should not be the Oba if he is that dumb to make a reasonable statement. The deed is already done. No going back.
Patty Nwanne, with due respect, your statement is not acceptable.
E ya, pls prof, help us beg ur pple sir, dey don't need 2 take his words so serious. We need Ambode n we don't wnt dat 2 affect him @ll.

What is bad is bad Prof....... stop making light of such a serious issue
Oga Prof, which kind jest be that?
I am ashamed of you, prof!!!!!!! I have used all respect I had for you , how can you even try to defend this? Did you listen to the audio or watch the video? To think we all once thought you are the future of Nigerian politics so you are no better than them....
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 .
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
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
Sell out
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??
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.
Give us some respect, you are not more in pdp than we are, cant yoi put things in a simple perspective? pDP won 25 pcent in all yoruba states.
Patricia or whatever your full or fool name is, just get lost...JK we know
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
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.
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.
@ 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.
Marwa was governor of Lagos. Did you die? Are ibos not behind the businesses in Abuja? Are they dead? Tribalism is tribalism whatever you dress it up as. Only in Africa do we do this nonsense.
You first.
Well said
Why give so much credence to the words of a few men politricking?
Wow.... your predictions are so bold. You forget that God can take his life, the oba's and yours even, tonight talk less of 2019.
You are a follow person.
Una de see now say mama peace own nor reach anything? Naija my country, Change ooo not changiii....
