Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Yoruba Council sue for calm, unity in Lagos


OHANAEZE Ndigbo and the Yoruba Council Worldwide, YCW, have called for peace and unity among the Yoruba and Igbo ethnic groups in Lagos, ahead of the gubernatorial election, slated to hold March 11.

The group, on Wednesday, advised both ethnic groups to neglect certain individuals trying to heat up the state with sensitive and unguarded statements.

The call was made by the President, Yoruba Council Worldwide, Aare Oba Oladotun Hassan, during a press briefing, in Lagos.

He said: "Considering the information flying around in some electronic media outlets, it is imperative for joint leadership of the Lagos State Leaders of Thoughts led by Yoruba Council Worldwide and Ohaneze Ndigbo in Lagos State to immediately and swiftly swing into affirmative action by calling for calm and understanding with the Non-indigenous citizens, especially Igbo extraction and supporters to supports and re-elect Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu For Second Term.

"Based on his landmark achievements and sustainability of peace, unity and development of Lagos State and Yoruba Land."

He added that certain information that have been making the rounds in Lagos state by one, Okechukwu Isiguzoro, is allegedly targetted at reducing Sanwolu's chances of emerging winner in the forthcoming guber election.

According to him, hence, his ridiculous approach and the attendant indictment of the state Governor, his jaundiced conspiracy theory, his spurious and unfounded allegation could be clearly viewed from the prism of a premeditated attempt to incite public tension, emotions and sympathy of the electorates in voting against our dear party APC candidates in the forthcoming gubernatorial and assembly elections in Lagos State.

"Isiguzoro affirmed in his seditious that Indigbo as the socio- political organisation, Ohaneze Ndígbo has vowed to hold the Governor, Oba Akinolu of Lagos and Mr. Musiliu Ayinde (MC Oluomo), responsible for the attacks on Igbo in the state, especially following the victory of the Labour Party, LP presidential candidate in Lagos State as alleged by him, while he was even calling for self defence in any of such subsequent attacks, while emphasising that self- defence is a universal law, the attempt that equal to a subtly beating of the drum of war where there is no war and by building a mountain in a mole hill in futility.

"Sequence to that intemperate outburst and incendiary statements, he had conspicuously established his nefarious mindset at fanning the ember of ethnic tension, violence, disharmony and anger among the peace loving and good people of Lagos, irrespective of their ethnic nationalities and diverse political affiliations and persuasions" he said.

Others speakers at the briefing include High Chief Mike Kelechi, President, Ohahaze Ndigbo chair of chair and High Chief Sunday Osai, Ohahaze Ndigbo Lagos Chapter, both call for calm and unity among the ethnic groups in Lagos, and equally appeal to Ndigbos in Lagos to come out on march 11th Governorship Election to vote for Governor Sanwo- Olu because of the cordial relationship and unity we have enjoyed together.

Hehehehehehehehehe

There won't be peace without the invitation of MC olumo in Lagos state

Only the re election of Sanwo Olu can bring peace .
Tell those parasitic losers we are ready for them on March 11 because it would be worse than Ore

My brother this people have already pushed the indigence of Lagos and the Yorubas to the wall. It's ok if we start hating Igbos now

Only re-election of the best governor in Nigeria at the moment, Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu can bring peace.

YCW or whatever better be careful.

Some Idiots will leave Ikpeazu in Abia and be shouting change Sanwo-Olu and you think they'll have peace?.. Let the IPOB apologist in LP go and govern Abia or Imo, we don't want him in Lagos.

If Ibos want a change of governor, they should go to Anambra or Abia. Yorubas are satisfied with the best governor in Nigeria, Governor Sanwo Olu.

Rubbish

You are only chest beaters. Igbos are no match for you guys if push comes to shove.

Ordinary aboki okada riders dey run una street from mile 12 to mile 1, abule egba to agege, name it. Yorubas are becoming irritating to coexist with. They fight Northerners at every slightest provocation at every town in Lagos. They don't see those ones who don't pay tax as parasitic. But igbos who build businesses,houses,employ lagosians,pay tax , and develop places, those are their problems.

If seaports are established in the south by FG, believe me, within few months Lagos will be empty. Awon oponu

I swear, instead of LP to win in Lagos, everything will be scattered.The election will be cancelled.Another election will be conducted when Tinubu is sworn in and this time with massive federal might to intimidate all oppositions.

Make Igbos just respect themselves in my state if dem no wan hear am.

There is nothing like peace, if those beerfraud apes do anyhow om march 11 dem go see anyhow

Gunz for gunz bro, you ain't got no monopoly for violence. Its election and not war but if mofos like you chooses to make it a war then you'll get it in double dosages.

Everyone should be allow to vote their preferred candidate and dont think you are stopping anyone. If LP disrupts dem go collect,if APC mis-waka dem go collect, if PDP step out of line dey too go collect.
Everyone should vote and every votes must count!

You know why I am not bothered?.. other tribes in Lagos are satisfied with Lagos state progress except the Igbos that have an agenda.

A northerner saw me today and expressed worry over Lagos.. he was like. 'is this how you people will allow Igbos take Lagos. Is it until they start selling lands in Lagos to Yorubas that your people will wake up',
The thing pained me to my soul but I kept my cool. I know for one that all other tribes will vote Sanwo-Olu.

He no go even reach that level. Sanwo Olu will be re-elected next week Saturday. Any Ibo that wants a change of governor should go and target one of the governors in the South East.

It's irritating seeing someone from another region that we don't share boundary with to be chest beating.
What nonsense.
They dare not try that nonsense in Abuja or any northern state.
Alaba, computer village,Ladipo markets needs to be relocated asap so that Lagos masterplan can be followed.

What is the offence of the igbos in Lagos,that they don't have right to choose their preferred candidate? I have many Yorubas who didn't vote Tinubu,many northerners didn't vote Atiku. So what's the attack on igbos each time election draws near. Oba of Lagos will start threatening them to vote APC. Why don't you guys attack the Northerners to vote Tinubu at all cost why always the igbos who have major stake in the economy of Lagos. I see it as envy

Osogbo is a Yoruba city so as Lagos..okay
Infact Yorubas from Benin republic get levels pass igbos in Lagos because Lagos is their home.
Yorubas don't have relationship with igbos at all...Create your own Lagos in alaigbo

Now tell me your relationship with Lagos.

Product of baby factory without family values.

In all my years on this earth, I have never seen or heard it from a Northerner that Lagos is a no man's land.. it's only Igbos that make such provocative statements.
The Fulanis that sell wara in SW speak fluent Yoruba and are always excited to speak Yoruba to the indigenes. The only way you'd tell for sure that they are Fulanis is when they speak fulfide.

The Igbos don't have any right in Lagos talk more of choosing who will and will not govern the state.
Lagos is working and will continue to work. Igbos should go and face their bad leaders in the East and leave Yorubas to handle our leaders.

Same way they left Obi they are all fo0lishy following now to attack Tinubu over EndSars when full evidence is there of Akwuzu Sars killings. asiri ti tu, a ti ri furo adiye.

This is the real mindset we need in Nigeria, the type of mindset Caucasians have that made them leaders of the modern world

Your statement is baseless. This entitlement mindset of the Yorubas who migrated from Iragbiji to claim Lagos is theirs is the reason there will always be confrontations.

Lagos is no man's land , most of the businesses, structures ,and mansions are owned by non lagosians including your Tinubu. Hausas,and Fulanis decided not to make such statement because they have no major stakes in Lagos.

Nothing one million Tinubu,and his thugs can do to take igbos out of Lagos,it is just this senseless chest beating and threat.

Hurt ,or kill one Igbo in Lagos and see that Lagos is truly no man's land. It's over a decade since this threat from you guys yet nothing .

Igbos will vote their preferred choice come next Saturday,and nothing one million Tinubu can do about it. Awon oloriburuku

Congratulations! Hope you'd be there when they start slaughtering each other ? Hope you know Lagos is encircled by by vicious and unforgiven Yorùbá states such Ogun State and the rest? Their can be no reinforcement from anywhere because the so-called "Igbo reinforcement" would still have to pass through Yoruba states and lands before getting to Lagos?? Have you guys even put this into considerations?? The military and police would look the other way and only intervene when the deed has been done..

This is no longer a political matter or tension, but now a full-blown ethnic holocaust in waiting.. When people feel their ethnicity or existence is threatened, their primordial or the suppressed animalistic part of them springs up.. Exactly how it played out in Rwanda and other African nations.

Because, it is one thing to chest-beat on one hand, and another thing to face a disastrous reality..

Most of you commenting have never seen blood or how dead bodies smell 3 or 4 days before been evacuated to the morgue... Apart from movies and maybe Call Of Duty and other games , you haven't seen people killed in real-time. Fortunately, we may see all these play out pre or post Saturday's gubernatorial elections.. Good Luck to the Victors..

Then desist from threatening a tribe that has contributed majorly to the development, advancement, and economic improvement of Lagos by migrated Yorubas who feel they have more right than the igbos in Lagos. How can Lagosians who contributed less to the development of same Lagos hate the igbos so much more than even an average fulani man in Kano ,and expect the people you threaten their existence and livelyhood to not resist you.

Nobody profits from war,but the battle ground will suffer the more,you can ask Ukrainians.


What kind of madness is that, Everytime they keep threatening and intimidating igbos for making their voting choice just like other Nigerians did. That madness must stop. Trust the igbos,they will mess you guys up even inside ogbomoso not to talk of Lagos
