United we stand and divided we fall! Of course this can only be a propangada cooked up by the DROWNING PDP in Lagos State to fight for survival in a journey of no return that was designed by themselves. Such words CAN NOT come out of the royal sit. The question is, “Will the Oba who wants the growth and development of Lagos so much wish anything bad for the millions of Igbo investors in our land? Of what benefit will it be to the Oba and to Lagos as a State if the Igbos in Lagos perish in the water”? Nigerians please THINK! THINK! THINK! PDP should go to the moon and the four corners of the world to cook up as many deadly lies BUT they they are just going to fail because it’s a lost battle. Of course who can battle the will of God? CHANGE IS THE WILL OF GOD NOT OF MAN!

I WANT TO BELIEVE THIS IS NOT TRUE THE OBA DECLARED THESE THINGS!!! This is – IF IT IS TRUE – the most bizarre unwarranted thing that a man of this oba’s status should say to the Igbos in Lagos, but that goes to reveal what he is in essence !!! And it shocks more than it pains me, that the Igbo representatives by their questionable crass quality, did not have the courage,sensibility,feeling and intelligence to answer to this unmistakably outraging shameful treasonable threat to the life of all the Lagos- based Igbos congruently,rightly,even in most muted ways. Because,as it is evident,of the all-round poor quality of the leaders, both ways, though we are not loosing sight of the greater evil here!!! Igbos vote for who you choose all of you, I beseech you!!! The law enforcement agents and government at all levels must seriously take Oba Akiolu up and teach him and his kinds, what never to call for against a person of whichsoever race Nigerian or foreigner, not to talk of it being directed to the Igbo nation, in their millions in Lagos!!! I demand you all wade fastest into this case, if it be true.
Idiotic genocide-threatening, engendering, unleashing pronouncements like these must not ever come out of any person’s mouth without the person answering for it through and through as the Law is clear on these and diverse other breaches wheresoever they happen.
It is most questionable, how this man emerged a ‘king’ if he really said these things allegedly attributed to him. Or more precisely, that shows how he have been using unacceptable, untenable methodologies with the Yorubas and Igbos amongst others within and under his circle of influence for a long time,before now. It could not be the first time, if he really said these alleged terrible things they attribute to him.
Nigerians should unambiguously get it clear that, best, not just good leaders and nothing short or less at every level is what Nigeria and Nigeria must have.
Obviously,I will not take it that there are places where a person churning out outraging dirt like these,in today’s world, if truely he did in the first place, can be said to be the best or even good enough to be king, even if it be by hereditary lineage that kings evolve,for even at that, how come he was not taught and tutored well for the tasks ahead,the dos and donts?
More questions beg for answer. Igbos,Yorubas,Hausas and all ethnic groups in Nigeria, I challengingly urge you all to salvagingly vote for the best people of your choice per their quality, because that is what Nigeria and our world demand from you!!!

PDP has lost at the top, now they’re desperate to take over Lagos. All these lies and propaganda pitting Nugerians against themselves. My Igbo people, please wake up and stop believing these jokers. Nonsense

They know the powers the Igbos have to swing the votes in the gubernatorial elections. My people, wake up! Do not let them use us as their tools. Lagos has been a home and source of livelihood to us. Even if the Oba said this, he is not the voice of the whole Yoruba race. I choose Ambode.

APC is not a party of hooligans. This is untrue. Come Saturday, I’m voting for Ambode

This is all propaganda. A lie from the pit of hell. We are one Nigeria and they keep making us vote along ethnic and religious lines

I would have doubted this i heard the audio record of the Oba’s threath speech from Nigeria info FM. I am urging the Igbo’s in Lagos not to succumb to the intimidation by any ranting and confused Oba of Lagos. Pls be brave and courageous to take ur destiny in ur hands by voting for the candidate of ur choice. The Igbo’s are peace loving people and law abiding but we cannot be intimidated anywhere. Our God is always there to fight for us wen ever we call on him. As for the Oba, he should stop sounding as if the life of the Igbo’s in Lagos is in his hand because he is just making a mockery of his throne.

In reply to igbobuigbo. This is pure propaganda, we should be very careful wat we believe, is it possible for the oba to make such statement at the detriment of his candidate? Let's take time out and think it over before believing anything this is just the work of detractors hell bent on destabilizing Lagos along ethnic line to their own benefit, the Igbo's have always been an integral part of Lagos and that can't change.

In reply to jpe54321. I laughed at all this shenanigans up here....:) . Why are my people so blind and gullible and swift to believe fiction without facts so fast that they become unnecessarily furious? Please return your swords into its sheath. Devil's agents and divisive figures at work. Remember, Lagos recognises visitors and has always been rewarding her guests namely The Jagaban Tinubu himself and other commissioners who are non-indigenes. Recall too that Akiolu is good friend of the Lagos Eze and has been a national figure himself especially as police officer who had served across the length and breadth of our land. Embrace peace all and common sense. Be swift to hear and slow to react. Check the stories authenticity and abstain from sweeping sentimental conclusions. Thank u all my brovx

In reply to igwe ajasa. Well said sir!! I am so disappointed that the so called Eze-Ndigbo of Amuwo-Oriade is such a coward by not calling a spade a spade. and more disappointed i am on the so called Oba for making such idiotic and arrogant threat. and they are preaching One-Nigeria.
