And why did your coward leader called Peter OBI did his mega final rally on Yoruba soil LAGOS? I taught Peter OBI was gov of Anambra for 8 years? Why did he not go back to his base and ipob followers to do his final mega rally? Atiku went back to Adamawa! Kwankwaso went back to Kano! Asiwaju went back to Lagos! Why did Peter OBI come back to Lagos for a final mega rally? Igbos are bastards. And I tell Yorubas all the time, you do not know the evil mind that Igbos have towards Yorubas! Just check your history and see all the evils of Igbos against other Nigerians particularly Yorubas.

Like this! 0Dislike this! 0ReplyThe pain and cancer in your heart is too much. Put your worries on Jesus. Tinubu is not from Lagos. Tinubu’s wife was senator representing Lagos for how many years ? But she’s from delta state. Omowunmi edet is from Osindele state, who repped Lagos for 8 hrs. Meaning, NIGERIA is for all you only have state of ORIGIN but you can live and work anywhere in the country.
