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.

When he says afomja he means the cowards among yorubas who cannot see the truth and speak it! Back stabbing people

Chee59:

You're disgusting.
Quoting a serial liar Jeff Phillips who lies at the drop of a hat.

Have u dissed ur kinsmen discussing how to “takeover Lagos and chase away their indigenous traditional rulers”?

Why did igbos transfer their pvc’s in large numbers to Lagos to overrun the Yoruba population? Is that something normal people do? The speech and actions are in tandem.

Every minority tribe ing this nonsense. I pray they do it in your states too. Say amen.

jmaxjohn:


Those comments you saw are doctored.

These are the only reference to afonja in his profile

1 was about a book and 2 was challenging someone

These were doctored too right?

Lagos, that has historically welcomed all and sundry, will not be led by this tribalist running a divisive campaign.

He couldn't cut it in PDP and lost his election in 2019.
He now hid his bigotted views and ed a noble aspirational move like what LP is trying to champion.

I blame LP for not screening him properly

Bahamas95:
Wether they like it or not Gbadebo is the next governor of Lagos state.

hahahaha

Just as obituary is the president of Nigeria 😀😀😀

Tofax:
"Don’t be deceived! There is no conflict between Yorubas and the Igbo. Both of us know that Peter Obi won the 2023 presidential election. We also know that the election in Lagos was not even close. Obi won by a landslide. It is not about ethnicity; it is about truth and integrity." - Femi Aribisala

Yes but gbadebo seems dangerous to the balance

Omoawoke:
Finally front page

Only took about a week.

Everlastingson:



Well, sorry if I sounded rude. But we should not allow a government that oversaw the killing of our youths in cold blood at Lekki/2022 to continue. All Tinubu, who planted Sanwo Olu, could do then was to ask what the youths were doing at Lekki Toll gate at that time.

Till date this same govt continues to deny the killings. There has been no justice for the victims, nor compensation for the families that lost their own. Such a govt does not deserve to continue in office.

People are apprehensive of L.P. because of that approach of we are right and something is wrong with anyone who doesn't agree with us.
This is democracy. Everyone cannot have the same perspective or even interest
L.P. cannot at this time escape from the Igbo party label just like APC has Amala connotations in the SE.
Unfortunately that is the kind of politics in our country.
Leaving that to one side. I have not seen anything special about his candidacy and I find his position on Yoruba issues alarming.
I do not think that many Ibos correctly read the mood of the Yoruba at this time or if they do they are perhaps dismissive, a recurrent theme in Ibo character which is to stubbornly insist on being right even if it causes great offence. Sometimes even if one is "right" one must be flexible. Otherwise there is no plan B and if Plan A fails there is crisis . Perception is reality. On the Endsars,many still have the belief that Nnamdi Kanu championed the burning down of LagosThis person will only bring bloodshed which will be music to the ears of some nihilistic folk we won't let that happen

I see a race between APC and PDP. Your candidate is not even in contention,in my opinion.

Juju70:


When he says afomja he means the cowards among yorubas who cannot see the truth and speak it! Back stabbing people

No. He used it as a slur in the context as we regularly see on nairaland. The Afonja, pro IPOB, pro Biafra e.t.c say alot about what he has filled his heart with. People are not fools.

Igbo tribal warlords on twitter that have suddenly become saint after ing labour party have also thrown the slur word around a bit to insult Yorubas.

So where is the insult?

jaxxy:
where is the insult?




what anti yoruba comments? it's is a detribilised yoruba man that knows how to correct a yoruba if he is wrong or being a bigot.


Same yorubas and urchins that insult obasanjo are complaining here.

But they aren't running for office

babaolofin:


You don't know anything. As I told those who insulted, mocked and made derogatory statements against Baba Kumuyi and Baba Adeboye because of OBI before the Presidential Election and their CALL answered me, I speak as a son of the Prophet against Chinedu that Except Baba Adeboye is not CALLED that he will rule Lagos

Oga rest, Grv will win whether you & your fraudulent pastorpreneur Adeboye is cool with it or not.

TOPMAN4LIFE:

You people just like to tell lies, as you are spreading lies against the man of God, Satan will also raise people that will lie against you,
You said it's Pastor Adeboye that brought Buhari.
Can you show me any video or news report where he has said people should vote for Buhari .
Is it a sin for his or pastor to belong to political parties.
Or because his pastor stood as vice president, he should not relate with him again.
For your info, pastor Adeboye didn't ask any of his member to vote for Buhari.
Nigerians used their hands to vote for him..
Even myself as a RCCG MEMBER ed Jonathan in 2015 and 2019.
Pastor Adeboye has never told us in Rccg to vote for a particular candidate before, bcoz we have many from different political parties in our midst
In preparation for last weekend election, peter Obi came for church service at Rccg camp and Tinubu didn't come but you people will still be blaming the man of God for your frustrations.
You have to stop if you don't want God to deal with you.

It is your church and GO that God will deal with. If Osinbajo had won he would have campaigned for him. The suffering under Buhari is more than Jonathan, why didn't he do peaceful protest like they did under Jonathan.

kingyakos:




Rabbis talk....
GVR is your next Lagos State Governor
No rigging no shit, the godfatherism shackles has been broken.

If you guys get sense you would have chilled with the noise/ insults/ attacks and proceed carefully; especially, to seek to avoid any actions that will cause an offense and turn off all LP potential voters from showing up on Saturday. You can’t based everything on emotions and expect to accomplish anything.

It isn’t even 2 weeks after losing the presidential spot to Jagaban, and the senseless flatheadss have already started to follow the same path that sabotaged Peter Obi’s chances.
Im very surprised that there is no single pig among all these pigs to realize that all the past noise and attacks haven’t done much for you people..

Im sorry to say that as long as we are in Nigeria, and as long as the FlatHeadsss continue to behave like pigs, they will forever be running into walls, with very little political accomplishments.
This group of people just don’t think; I don’t know which one of the two is worse, goats or the igbos.

How is that an insult, is GRV not a Yoruba man.

Ishilove:
So where is the insult?

Perhaps, you are one of the tribes that wakes their parents up with a bicycle kick. You would not see the insult in this as well.

Just shut the fvck up, ur lazy propaganda won't sell... U'v loss Lagos state already

Kennyfancy:
The response was not to Daddy G.O but to the other person, the OP need to go back to secondary school

Ori e daru

ada9ja:


Cos I defended them makes me Ibo Abi? Oti ya werey

reddingtonblack:



On the contrary played the most divisive politics Nigerians have ever witnessed

Obi played religious card, by visiting all the Churches,
ObI came to lagos and visited places dominated by Igbos
Obi played the endsars card to divide youths from other citizens, for the 1st time in Nigeria friends are blocking friends becos of diverse view, go on twitter anyone not ing obedient there career is threatened by miscreants .. thank God we dodged E luu p 🤣🤣

I can't believe my ears, APC is accusing someone of playing divisive politics😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣

Goodvibes007:

No. He used it as a slur in the context as we regularly see on nairaland. The Afonja, pro IPOB, pro Biafra e.t.c say alot about what he has filled his heart with. People are not fools.

Aiight na em sabi

The more mindless propaganda these losers throw up, the closer they propel GRV to Alausa...

Lad las una go tire...

ProfOkai:


I am a Redeem pastor and I would have loved to vote for him if I were staying on Lagos. He did not abuse Adeboye. Even then, if this statement were true, then it was wrong for daddy G.O to make such a comment about Elrufai or any of his progeny

And you called yourself an RCCG pastor? Bloody lier. We know your type no one will fall for your deception.

crafteck:


But they aren't running for office

bt some are directly working for and ing sm1 running for office. some are chieftains in apc.

they insulted VP Pastor Osinbajo and called him judas.

This one no concern me, i just dey wonder the kind hunger wey catch the person that discovered BITTER LEAF SOUP

kettykin:
How on earth is this an insult .

LAGOS WILL ONE DAY GRADUATE TO A GLOBAL CIY WHEREBY, IT IS NO LONGER A CSE OF TRIBE OR RACE BUT THE BEST INTELLECT.

WE SEE THIS N NEW YORK, LONDON, TORONTO ETC.

ONCE, UPON A TIME, IT WAS THE WHITE MAN BIRTH RIGHT BUT TODAY, THAT IS NO LONGER THE CASE.

THE FACT THAT THEY ARE BLACKMAILING A FELLOW YORUBA WHO MAY HAVE PROGRESSIVE PLANS FOR THE STATE WITH FALSE ACCUSATION, TELL ME THE ARE BACKWARD AND STILL VE A LONG WAY TO GO.


HE CT THAT THIS SAME PEOPLE WILL BE SHOUTING ONE NIGERIA AND CONDEMNING IPOB, WHOSE ONLY CRIME IS WANTING TO GIVE THEMA YORUBA ONLY NAION AND SATE, TELLS ME THEIR IS STILL HOPE AND NOT TO GIVE UP ON THEM YET.


IF THE LABOUR GUY DONT GET IT THIS TIME, THE FUTURE IS PREGNANT.

U simply overwhelmed by your emotions and nothing more.
Yes, there's no doubt that a non Yoruba will govern Lagos in the future. It's just 4 years, no big deal.
But not someone who is unashamedly tribalistic and feeds on bigotry. Someone like that will never rule Lagos.
The mayor of London is Pakistan, but the guy is only Pakistani in skin, nothing more. He's not a Muslim, doesn't wear Pakistani attire, eats pork and doesnt celebrate any Asian holiday. That's a Cosmopolitan man we talking about, not some badly trained spoilt kid who has no respect for culture.
As for his progressive agenda, he should first go and build his paper weight CV and let's see his progressive achievement without latching unto his family's name

The man that sips tea with the Almighty...I wonder if it is Lipton or Earl Grey.

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

You are very stupid for that talk.. which Yoruba Christian’s are you calling on you fuckin stinking IBO whey no fit clean hin region.. Whetin concern una and Yoruba Christian’s.. oh na now una wan de divide Yorubas abi??.. motherfcker.. the only help you guys will get is the one of presidential election incase you no know. Your GRV will never smell that seat.. Becos last last it is only Igbos that will vote for him on that day.

Dedeity:
Tinubu er redeem is not going against him so kill that thought in you. GRV is the governor of Lagos state

Nah so una talk say Pandora go win

This GRV obviously has no Yoruba blood in him, based on the various derogatory statements he has made about the Yorubas. Can't imagine an exuberant bigot governing a complex state like Lagos. This election is an eye-opener to so many hitherto hidden issues.

brutustech:
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.

youngsahito:
Lagos is for Sanwo Olu, how many Yorubas did the easterner give appointment or chance for a political post. Na only Obi make me LP.

Thank u. That’s what I also keep telling them. That if they expect to use Yoruba Christian’s heads this time around again, they are seriously mistaken.

Honestly I don't care.
