I have nothing against the Rhodes Vivour kid but his anti Yoruba comments are very disturbing. I’ve seen some of his comments calling Yorubas “Afonja”. He really needs to come out and disavow some of his previous social media comments.

That's true and I agree with you on this.

Tofax:
Just imagine prophet Isaiah keeping mute or sitting on the fence while Christians are been murdered every day. Just imagine it.

stfu, if you are not inclined with certain happenings In the country,where were you when pastor Adeboye severally led peaceful protest alongside CAN across the country over the killings of Christians.. your evil plans has failed, your grv is going no where

Lagos is built with the commonwealth since 1914. No place in Nigeria came close except Abuja. One reason Nigeria is called basket of fools.

Lagos State was created for the indigenes on May 27, 1967 by the Government of General Yakubu Gowon.
Lagos State was never the capital of Nigeria... it is Lagos Island that was the capital of Nigeria from 1914 to 1991.

95% of the total land mass of today's Lagos State was under Chief Obafemi Awolowo's Western Region and other regional s till May 27, 1967. 95% of what is now known a Lagos State would have been in Ogun State right now if Lagos State wasn't created for the indigenes just like the other 11 states Gowon created after due consultations with the indigenes.

Ikeja Industrial Estate, Ikeja GRA, Ilupeju Industrial Estate, Orile Iganmu Industrial Estate, and more giant industries were set up by Chief Obafemi Awolowo, GCFR, SAN.

Ikeja LGA, Badagry LGA, Ikorodu LGA, Ibeju Lekki LGA, Epe LGA, Mushin/Isolo LGA, Amuwo Odofin, Ojo, Agege, etc, were all under the economic development of the rich Western Region. Take note and learn your history.

EITHER WAY, BE IT APC OR LABOUR PARTY, ONE THING IS CERTAIN, LAGOS WILL REMAIN THE CAPITAL CITY OF SOUTHERN NIGERIA AND A MELTING POT FOR NIGERIA TRIBES.



NOTHING CAN CHANGE THAT STATE OF AFFAIRS IN A COSMOPOLITAN CITY.



SO, WHETHER APC OR LABOUR, I DONT CARE.



AND IF YORUBA MEN ARE TIRED OF ONE NIGERIA, THEN THAT MAKES US ALL, LET US DIVIDE THE COUNTRY AND GO OUR SEPARATE WAYS INSTEAD OF CONTINUING A LIE AND EVERYDAY HATRED TO THE POINT NOW, YOU ARE PLAYING THE TRIBAL CARD ON A FELLOW YORUBA SON.

Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, the gubernatorial candidate of the Labour Party, made a derogatory remark on Twitter about Pastor Enoch Adeboye, a highly respected pastor and leader of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, in response to his compliment to El-Rufai during a visit. This tweet has generated widespread outrage and debates about the importance of respectful discourse in public conversations.

Although some ers of the Labour Party have defended Rhodes, citing his right to free speech and claiming that his tweet was simply expressing his personal opinion, a significant number of people, particularly the elders, have condemned his language. They believe that insulting a revered public figure like Pastor Adeboye is unacceptable and disrespectful.

Furthermore, they see Rhodes' generalization of Yoruba people as those who are known to "lick ass" as a derogatory comment, that insults the entire Yoruba clan

Gbadebo's remark is not only harmful but also has the potential to escalate conflicts. It undermines the fundamental principles of civility, tolerance, and mutual respect, which are essential for a healthy and functional society. Making derogatory comments about someone with a differing opinion about others creates an atmosphere of hostility and division.
Moreover, as a Yoruba descendant, Gbadebo's comment is both condescending and disrespectful. It demonstrates that he lacks regard for others, which disqualifies him from being a suitable leader.

Notable elders in Lagos state have expressed their opinion that Gbadebo is not fit to be the governor of Lagos state due to his lack of respect. Therefore, Lagosians require a leader who can provide good governance, promote respectful discourse in public conversation, and work towards a society that values civility, tolerance, and mutual respect.

Op. How much dem pay you? Try harder Gbadebo a real son of the soil is your next Governor, save your tears till after the election

hotwax:


pastor adeboye does not represent us...a pastor that came out to jihadi who has killed many christian is inviting insult..

leave vivor...focus on the post vivor reacted to. All these are adverts for vivor. This is why people will even vote for Vivor.

Dear Yoruba Christians, Vivor is fighting christian course boldly

Abeg, enough of this deceit.
So you're telling us Sanwo-Olu is fighting Jihadi's cause?

Chinedu that is praising Ojukwu that murdered Lieutenant Victor Banjo despite both of them being Christians.
Ojukwu that didn't consider that they both were Christians before killing Banjo. He only considered his tribe.

JealousCobra:


By this time next week that sickle cell patient in alausa will be packing his luggages to his Ijebu village 😎😎

Ok sir.....but which state r u from pls

If he like make in insult Joe Biden my vote is for Gbadebo

kettykin:
How on earth is this an insult

You need to be a true yoruba to know how. Ask your elders not nairaland

kettykin:
How on earth is this an insult

May God punish you for not saying the truth

He didn’t disavow, he doubled down. Lol! Have u seen the one he was praising ojukwu in an interview? Here’s the link:

And here is the link to the GRV twitter spaces discussing how “igbos should take Lagos and chase all traditional rulers from power as they go to vote LP”

https://mobile.twitter.com/jeffphilips1/status/1632620579755896833

Herein lies your problem with GRV: that he does not you in practising tribalism. That's why you hate and blackmail him. You're very childish. Who told you Igbo is taking Lagos? Is it even possible for Igbo to take Lagos? Your obsession with Igbo has created a morbid , unfounded fears in you. Lagos is Yoruba land and no one can change that. But GRV must be the next Governor of Lagos.

How is this not an insult? Chinedu camouflaging as Gbadebo making a derogatory statement against the entire Yoruba race is not an insult to an IBO man like you.

The mother, an IBO gold digger who wanted to dig into Rhodes Vivour family wealth caused this sacrilege.

Now, we have the Adeleke family already caged. Femi Otedola family is also tied spiritually to them. You cannot try it with them.

Chinedu made remarks against Baba Adeboye because he wanted to rule Lagos.

Mark my word. my word. He will never rule Lagos except Baba Adeboye is not CALLED.

Let me reveal one HIDDEN SECRET to you and to Nigerians. The Lagos Wealth you see today is attracted by the Atlantic Ocean through PROPHETIC ACTIONS of Saint MOSES ORIMOLADE
TUNOLASE the Founder of CHERUBIM & SERAPHIM CHURCH at the BEACH. It is spiritual. Baba ADEBOYE revived it with HOLY GHOST CONGRESS of 1998 at LEKKI BEACH before the beginning of DEMOCRACY in 1999.

Bi Oluwa ti mbe, ti emi re si mbe, as a son of Prophet, oro jade, ase tele, that guy will not rule Lagos in Jesus Name, Amen.

Wow, At this point I'll say this guy is anti yoruba. Yiebos just want to use him against yorubas

YeyeGbami:
Lagos dey enter ibo eyes, una go carry gun thief am las las. If chinedu enter make i bend.

Bunch of opportunists. Person wey be tribal bigot na him con dey form saint. Make he go do honorable for him community first, he lacks the experience to govern a state like lagos.

Like say dem fit allow half-yoruba with name like oluwasegun obinna njoku to governor in abia or Enugu.

Dem sha want colonize lagos by force by fire! 🔥

Finally front page

deeptechcool:
GRV is going nowhere.

I make bold to say this guy is on nairaland. He's one of those nairaland bigots creating nuisance here.

You and who? Don't deceive yourself yoruba Christians will choose Adeboye over and over your Vivour a politician.

drphantom:


He is Yoruba -Igbo like Chinedu Gbadebo.

However, there is a big difference between both of them.

He has never at any point insulted igbo people and as such they welcome him with open arms.

So why are bigots ethnic profiling Gbadebo who is more Yoruba and contesting in Yoruba land than Abiola who is also Yoruba but contesting in Abia. Where did Gbadebo insult Yorubas and why are all these coming up now?

Amaggedon:
Afonja was a notable Yoruba from present day Kwara state , how is calling someone afonja an insult. Just like calling Igbo man okoro . I don't understand what message you're trying to

Nice one, so what does the Goat symbolize ....

brutustech:
Is it a compliment?

And who the fvuck is Adeboye?

LP from top to bottom.

VenomJuice:
How the f*CK is this an insult?
OP u well so?

You need to be a true yoruba to understand what insult means to us.

obawinner:
First he used a tribal racial slur "Afonja" against his fellow Yoruba and now he called our spiritual Daddy accommodating behavior a classic Yoruba behavior.
We will respond on Saturday

And when we call him omo ale now,ipob will come to his defense,as a Yoruba proverb goes "Omo ale ni nfi owo osi juwe ile baba re" meaning "It is a bastard that uses left hand to describe his father's house address."
His behavior is typical of an omo ale in Yoruba.
Omo ale didn't literally mean bastard in Yoruba language,it also describe someone that outsiders against his own people.

I know you work with Tinubu Media Team

But let's be civil, that's not an insult.

The lunatics have started their hate speech either they like it or not labour is winning Lagos State government house. Baba Adeboye has never complaint that somebody insulted him but enemy of progress will this.

WHY ARE YOU BEGGING THEM.


LET THEM VOTE APC TO CONTINUE.


IT CHANGES NOTHING.



ALL WE CARE IS THAT THE ELECTION IS FREE, FAIR AND TRANSPERANT.

Eriokanmi:
So, Christians shouldn't vote him? Several apc ers here on NL had lashed out at Prof Osinbajo the moment he came out to run, calling him unprintable names, even linking him with RCCG. They've done worse in this election, even spiting pa Adebanjo, a well respected yorubaman. They saw the GRV's comment on twitter calling tinubu afonja and suddenly generalised it on the yoruba race. Meanwhile, they've called Pa Adebanjo all manner of names for ing power rotation to the south east and then, they didn't see it as an insult on yourbas in spite of the sensitive position he's holding and how important the organisation is among us.

These guys are nothing but hypocrites. If you like, dig out all his pasts, it won't change anything in Saturday's election.

Which atrocities could be worse than calling a battalion to attack and kill unarmed civilians at lekki toll gate by a puppet who first denied it but later bowed to pressure by saying he acted on the instruction from above? Had his child been among the protesters, would he have tried that shiit?GRV never dis anything close to this yet, they're trying to bring him down at all cost. If you like, cone out in your usual ęgbęjoda t-shirt in different colours and besiege all lagos roads, it won't change anything. GRV is our own and we won't let him down in Lag, come Saturday at Alimosho. We don't know sanwoolu here. He did nothing here in the last 4 years. Alimosho must progress. God bless ambode who ed us. They only us during campaigns. They know we have the largest population in lagos and Nigeria as a LG but always neglecting us. It won't be business as usual this time .

Pls don't be blinded by sentiment. I have no problem u voting him, but lets not pretend as if there are no real red flags with this guy.
His bigotry is nauseating yet wants to govern a Cosmopolitan state like Lagos. There are lots of Asians and blacks in UK govt but what u need to know is that these children of immigrants are British to the core. They are even more English than whites.
Left to them, they are ready to put a blanket ban on immigration of all kind. It's the whites in govt fighting those policies.
I don't have a problem with an ibo man becoming governor of Lagos but must genuinely have the interest of all lagosians at heart irrespective of tribe or ethnicity.
Well he still learn from this and hopefully becomes a better person.
