Please read carefully before you continue ''Orubebe-ing''.
My attention has been drawn to a publication in a national newspaper where HRM Oba Riliwanu Akinolu was alleged to have threatened Igbos in Lagos to make them vote for Ambode.
Last Sunday, all honorary Eze Ndigbos in Lagos paid a courtesy call to HRM Oba Akinolu. At the meeting the visitors praised the Oba for his fatherly support for and cooperation with Igbos in. Lagos.
They assured him of their continued good neighbourliness with other tribes in Lagos and support everything that’ll further strengthen that harmony.
Oba Akiolu on his part acknowledged the enviable performance of Governor Fashola and his contribution to the growth of investments in Lagos. He gave the assurance that he is not disturbed or angry with South-East and South- South votes for President Jonathan as perceived by the Eze Ndigbos.
The Obas thereafter called on the Igbos chiefs to show appreciation to Lagos State by supporting his candidate Mr. Ambode for continuity of excellence as they have earlier promised.
He assured them of his continued support and assistance where needed and the meeting ended with the traditional breaking of kolas, alligator pepper, and bitter kola and pouring of liberation on the ground. It was within this context that that the tradition of Lagos with regard to the lagoon came up.
It was noted that whoever works against the throne and the interest and peaceful co-existence of Lagos would end up in the lagoon as per tradition.
2.Oba Akiolu stated further that the Igbo people have not betrayed the throne. Lagos has also not betrayed the Igbo people. Lagos has done so much to make the Igbos comfortable and to prosper. For this, we expect reciprocal respect and understanding. The Oba of Lagos prays that the Lagoon and the throne will continue to bless and protect all those who reside and visit Lagos.
3. Oba Akiolu is the father of all irrespective of tribe, religion or political persuasion. In Lagos, we have an old traditional proverb that relates to the Lagoon. The Lagoon is unique to Lagos. The proverb stresses the need for unity and understanding when you do business in an environment and in this case when you live and do business in Lagos.
Oba Akiolu prays for peace for the land of Lagos and prosperity for all its inhabitants.

Okay
ReplyDeleteHe still tried to insinuate that they would die
ReplyDelete"It was noted that whoever works against the throne and the interest and peaceful co-existence of Lagos would end up in the lagoon as per tradition."
That's exactly what I saw.
DeleteMy mind is telling me that this man is guilty cos Yoruba people can curse...always ready to fight with no strength...
ReplyDeleteNa only mouth dem get....
But Linda, you just said Amen to some heavy curses posted by Anon 18:41. How much better off are you than the Yorubas you just accused of cursing?
DeleteLies from the pit of hell,don't believe this vote Jim if you know who you are
ReplyDeleteI wish honest pressmen like the one that leaked the tb Joshua building collapse saga can come out with a tape and tell us what we don't know
ReplyDeleteWell....
DeleteI saw all the craze on the other post and thought it would be unwise of me to drop a comment amidst that kind of anger.
ReplyDeleteIt's very nasty and sickening to know that educated people on this blog are quick to jump to conclusions without verifying claims.
As a baby journalist, I know the lengths media organisations go just to sell their content.
In this period, political parties go extra lengths to tarnish each other's image so as to divert votes for their candidate.
I am very disappointed in some blog visitors here but what can I say?
At the end of it all, Ambode and Jimi Agbaje would still greet each other when they meet and we would keep throwing cusses at each other.
SUNSHINE
Ogbeni he still said it!
DeleteRead and comprehend!
Ikpuru isi??
So my dear anonymous baby journalist what ya gonna say now that its bin confirmed he said it???
DeleteThe audio just surfaced on facebook. I think he actually said it.
ReplyDeleteThere's a tape now out Stella bae o! You can hear their oba making his threat o
ReplyDeleteHe said it. The audiotape has been made viral you see this APC party is just a terrible party. Ndi igbo bikonu kanyi tunyere Jimi he is better than the APC group. For how long should we continue paying the toll gate fee that goes to Tinubu. Tinubu is ruling Lagos, let us say no to the old rogues, Jim reminds me of GEJ
ReplyDeleteOk Now
ReplyDeleteTwo side of the Coin
There three sides to every story
Waiting for the third side of the story !
Doesnt make any difference. At least drowning in Lagoon was mentioned. Anyhow he wants to paint it, I don't see how voting for PDP can be termed as working against the throne
ReplyDeleteLAGOS PALACE, DO WELL TO SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!
ReplyDeleteANYONE WHO DOUBTS THAT AKIOLU MADE THAT STATEMENT SHOULD GO ON FACEBOOK AND LOOK UP OLUWAKAYODE OGUNDAMISI
IT IS ON HIS WALL.
Sdk, don't mind these people.
ReplyDeleteThe video is out already and he actually said all that crap.
Is there no way this Oba can be impeached and jailed for that grave threat against Ndigbo's? This is so unacceptable, I am so pissed aswear.
Chi,as painful as what he said is,d reality of d matter's that no one gives a fuck about u cos bitch,u ain't shit
DeleteI said it that OBA, can't rain cause on igbos like that, I know that it was some people that is making such rumors
ReplyDeleteCurses* how dyu feel now that you've heard d tape?
DeleteU have come again wif ur grammar...........
DeleteAfi rain cause naa*
Please listen to the audio and come back and comment
Delete@Irabo u cnt even construct simple English(some people that is making such rumours indeed) n u r here defending d old man who runs his mouth like tap,oya go n listen to d audio n see if u can come here n type nonsense wit that ur ant infested fingers,anuofia!
DeleteTribalism at its peak. What more can I say. This man has finished Ambode. Should Ambode lose, they should tie a stone round his neck and throw him inside the ocean. For his information, Ibos don't sell their own person for shekele money. They all came out and shouted for PDP in mouth only. All bark and no bite.
ReplyDeleteNobody can play God just watchout and see who d cause will ruin d entire generation.
ReplyDeleteHahahahaha. Ambode, you are finished! Oba has directly ( not indirectly) messed you up big time.
ReplyDeleteCould they all stop this drama already. Revealing: Ladies - Reasons Why You Should Be Married Before You Hit 30. Kindly click www.thepinkjournalng.blogspot.com.
ReplyDeleteFrom the explanation above the only meaning I deduce is that he actually said it.
ReplyDeleteMay God punish that Oba for threatening Igbos.
This Oba of Lagos just sanctioned ethnic cleansing much like in Rwanda and you people are there in Nigeria speaking grammar?
ReplyDeleteHe needs to be reported to ICC and jailed immediately. Nonsense
Lagos hasn't done shit for the igbo's, instead the igbo's have made lagos comfortable and habitable for the lazy yorubas, who all dey do for a living is touting. Rubbish set of people. Without igbo's in lagos, the whole of lagos wld have been like maroko in those days, filled with weed smokers and touts. U people had better go kiss the ground that igbo people step on in lagos, cos the igbo's give u the food u put on ur table daily.
ReplyDelete@Nikkybaby, ori e o pe o! It appears one nut has removed from the bolt of your brain for saying igbo's put food on whose table?
ReplyDeleteYou must be maddddd!
Oluyomi you are a shameless hypocrite....am ashamed on your behalf..u watched the video abi? So which two sides are you talking about? This response is so stupid and a blatant lie....Yorubas....smh
