    “For the Igbos and others in Lagos(UK), they should go where the Oba of Lagos (Queen of England) heads to. When they were coming to the state(London), they didn’t 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 begging anybody, but what you people cannot do in Onitsha, Aba or anywhere you can not do it here. If you do what I want, Lagos (UK) will continue to be prosperous for you, if you go against my wish, you will perish in the water.(Thames)”..........Imagine Queen of England saying this?

      She can never threaten to throw a person into the River Thames for not supporting her candidate because the Queen has no special or unique candidate like the Oba of Lagos. Which university and Law School did he attend? Is he really a lawyer or just a law graduate?
