“I mean it’s an insult, it’s a big insult first of all. The Governor is actually extremely disrespectful; he is extremely disrespectful to Lagosians because after they gave him the position for four years; you owe it to them to come and for your stewardship. Be it a debate or whatever."


“To add to that is that a man from Ijebu is questioning a Rhodes-Vivour. I mean my Great-great Grandfather was the first Nigerian-Lagosian that was itted into government in this country under Governor Bourdilion’s government; after which was Adeyemo Alakija, you then have Doherty."

He does not know that Ikorodu, Epe, Lekki, Ibeju-Lekki, and Ajah, are all Ijebu.

Because your ancestors returned from slavery and as Yorubas, chose to settle in Lagos, does not make you more Lagosian than Lagos royals like the Kosokos, or the Dosunmus, or the Eshinlokuns all of Eko, or the Ijebu Oyefusi of Ikorodu and Ijebu Otedola of Epe.

He does not know that even his own family could actually be Ijebu.

Chinedu does not even know his own running mate is Ijebu from Ikorodu.

Oyefusi, daughter of late Oba Oyefusi, the Ayangburen of Ikorodu.

Can anyone be more Ijebu than that?

This bastard is not even aware of the component of Lagos or the subgroups within the Yoruba tribe.

But ask him anything about Igbos or Biafra or IPOB, Chinedu go carry first.

Oga go and rest.
When.we talk about Lagos we refer to the island not Ikorodu or gberigbe area.

Very soon now Jakande's family from kwara will be claiming Lagosian because the father governed Lagos

Throwback:
Chinedu does not even know his own running mate is Ijebu from Ikorodu.

Ekiti pikin. Shut up.


Go back to your state and leave Lagosians alone.

Real Lagosians are ing GRV. Lagosians wannabe-attachee by force from other SW states are crying foul about the candidacy of GRV.

Na wa o!!

See typical Igbo.

So he wants to win only Lagos Island where his forefathers settled as slave returnees?

Were his forefathers taken from Lagos Island as slaves?

Who's to know if his ancestors are not Ijebu?

Does he know the population of Ogun Ijebu in Lagos, not to talk of Lagos State Ijebus who fully control 2 (Ikorodu and Epe) of the 5 zones of Lagos?

This clown will regret his words.

Someone who can't speak fluent Yoruba, how do you expect him to know any history about Yoruba or Lagos history.

If it's not an insult, how can somw deluded people be saying the current best governor in Nigeria doesn't deserve reelection..

Like are they Shere or Shieere

Stop shifting the goalpost.
All I'm saying is you are trying to be clever by half.

I know many ijebu folks claiming Lagos whereas they just came to Lagos in 2015.

GRV is not in that category... Get that straight


We are not talking about Tinubu's mother who came to sell pepper in Lagos Island from iragbiji and her son was adopted.

He is a typical elitist.

He wants the Governorship because he feels he comes from a family of means and class.

Is that the works by which we will judge him as capable?

For real?

Very dumb someone

You mean like he is claiming Lagos because his slave returnee family settled in Lagos, then he has the audacity to question Ijebus who own their land and vast zones within Lagos State which he wants to govern?

I will implore Chinedu to learn more about Yorubas before speaking ill of anyone.

I repeat, even his own running mate is Ijebu and more of an original Lagosian of her own soil, than him whose ancestors settled in Lagos.

It's only when it comes to Lagos issue that you'd see Afonja destitutes from all nook and cranny of Ogbomoso hyperventilating and discharging sputum uncontrollably; but mention Kwara State now and how to take it back from their Fulani overlords and you'd see them sneaking out and calling you IPOB.
Drunks.

Who is. WE?
Who is your father?
You are now feeling among?
Rhodes are not indigenes of Lagos Island
They are settlers and Ijebus have been on Lagos Island before any Rhodes arrived
Tapa have been on Lagos Island before any Rhodes People crossed the Lagoon centuries before any Rhodes ,from Gberigbe and established several Agboles on the Island
Who was it that sold the ancestors of There Rhodes if not Ijebu Maybe that is why he is bitter
There has not always been a bridge. We know what Lagos Island looked like before bridges were built
Do you have in your mind a concept of Lagos Island before there was a bridge and how people got there 200 years ago? what did they eat? What crops did they grow? Who did they trade with?
We do ,we know their names and where they came from. They crossed the Lagoon on boat
Ijaws have been on the Island before any Rhodes arrived.
The indigenes of the Island are Kosoko,Akiolu,Eshilokun,Adele,Dosunmu etc Not Rhodes r Doherty
But Lagos state is not only the Island
It is five divisions
Badagry
Ikeja
Ikorodu
Lagos
Epe
Epe and Ikorodu are Ijebu and So Lagos state is a largely Ijebu state
The first elected indigene governor Otedola is Ijebu from Epe

This controversy is good because it will separate real Lagosians from xenophobic visitors who hate other visitors.

Why are you not worried about separating real Eboes from Wawa in Enugu?
That should exercise your mind more
There is no debate
On Sunday we will know who is in charge of the state

Its only those who do not know basic history that can denigrate the Ijebu peoples contribution to Lagos...this is very very sad.

Gbadebo Chinedu is absolutely clueless about the state he wants to govern.

is not a contribution. That is understatement
They are autochthons
Vivour-Rhodes is not an autochthon
No wonder he was served in Epe
People do not know that we make garri in Lagos state

We are not talking about Tinubu's mother who came to do sell pepper in Lagos Island from iragbiji and her son was adopted.

Lagos state land mass is mostly Ijebu
There are a group of Ijebu that are mainly fishermen they settled in Lagos Island centuries ago but have their homeland in Epe,Ikorodu and Ijebu Waterside in Ogun state
They were involved in slave trade from Badagry and likely sold Vivour-Rhodes ancestors
Many of you Ibos read one article and think you know everything about Lagos state

Oba Fashola greats in Ogudu originally came from Kwara.They are Lagosians now having been here more than 200 years.The fact is that they are Yoruba and Yorubas are inter related.
Only an Igbo or non Yoruba cannot easily become a real Lagosians except if he becomes Yoruba.

If Chinedu doesn't know that Eastern Lagos belongs to the Ijebu's how would he understand that the Yoruba Clans of Awori with the largest chunk of Lagos, Ilaje Egba Egbado Oyo Owu Ketu all have Ancient Ancestral Territories in Lagos State,
And that Badagry belongs to the Egun who descended from Olupopo who was Oduduwas Son?

The Slave returnees settled in Lagos as guests of the Awori Yorubas who took them in and rehabiltated them

Sanwo Olu is winning the biggest Landslide
ever seen in Lagos

When you hear 4th mainland bridge for some it is theory
For us it will follow the route our ancestors travelled back and forth before there was any bridge or even Ikorodu road

You no dey tire to failure? You should be ashamed of yourself for once

This Gbadebo is extremely stupid and clueless.
He's not fit to be a Councillor
Who get Lagos if not the Ijebu.
Imagine a clown whose forebears were sold from the hinterland by the same Ijebu people he's trying to insult.
Everything about that divisive Junkie reeks ipob

Lagos Island itself is the Property of the Awori Yorubas who gave his returnee slave Ancestors refuge and rehabiltated them

But this insult is too much

People like Desmond Elliott are Yoruba Saro they don't insult other Yorubas like this

This mischief must be the handiwork of Bode George

Throwback:

Can anyone be more Ijebu than that?

is he contesting for the position of a traditional ruler?
