4 | His Royal Highness Oba Rilwan Babatunde Osuolale Aremu Akiolu I, the Oba (King) of Lagos has made a royal gaffe. | Nanao hadisoana be ny Mpanjaka Ambony Oba Rilwan Babatunde Osuolale Aremu Akiolu I, ny Oba (Mpanjaka) an'i Lagos. |
5 | At a meeting of Igbo leaders in the state, he recently threatened that any Igbo person that does not vote for Akinwumi Ambode (governorship candidate of the All Progressive Congress) will “perish inside water”: | Tamin'ny fihaonan'ireo filoha Igbo tao amin'ny firenena, tsy ela akory izay no nandrahona izy fa “ho faty an-drano” ireo vahoaka Igbo rehetra izay tsy mifidy ho an'i Akinwumi Ambode (mpirotsaka ho governora avy amin'ny “All Progressive Congress” - APC) : |
6 | On Saturday, if anyone of you, I swear in the name of God, goes against my wish that Ambode will be the next governor of Lagos State, the person is going to die inside this water. | Amin'ny Sabotsy, mianiana amin'Andriamanitra aho, fa raha misy iray aminareo, mandeha tsy araka ny sitrapoko, ny mba haha-governoran'ny Fanjakana Lagos an'i Ambode, ho faty ato anatin'ity rano ity ilay olona. |
7 | I'm not ready to beg you. | Tsy vonona ny hitalaho aminareo aho. |
8 | Nobody knew how I picked Ambode. | Tsy misy mahalala ny nakako an'i Ambode. |
9 | Jimi (Agbaje) is my blood relation and I told him that he cannot be governor in Lagos for now. | Mpifamato-drà amiko i Jimi (Agbaje) ary nolazaiko taminy fa tsy mbola afaka ho governora aloha izy amin'izao. |
10 | The future belongs to God. | An'Andriamanitra ny ho avy. |
11 | I am not begging anybody, but what you people cannot do in Onitsha, Aba or anywhere, don't do it here. | Tsy mitalaho na amin'iza na iza aho, fa ny zavatra tsy afaka ataonareo vahoaka any Onitsha, Aba na any an-kafa rehetra any, aza atao eto. |
12 | If you do what I want, Lagos will continue to be prosperous for you. | Raha ataonareo izay tiako, hitohy hiroborobo ho anareo i Lagos. Raha mandeha mifanohitra amin'ny faniriako ianareo, ho faty ao anatin'ny rano ianareo. |
13 | If you go against my wish, you will perish in the water. | Ito ny fandraisam-peo tamin'izay nolazainy ary nozaraina tao amin'ny Twitter: |
14 | Here is an audio of the said speech shared on Twitter: - Ronald Ike Nzimora (@ronaldnzimora) April 6, 2015 | Ho an'ireo nangataka izany, ity ilay Oba Rilwan Akiolu nandrahona ny Igbo ho alefa any an-dranomasina raha tsy mifidy an'i Agbaje |
15 | Although Nigeria runs a presidential system, it still retains monarchs of the various ethnic groups that make up the country. | Na dia rafitra fitantanan'ny filoham-pirenena aza no ampiharin'i Nizeria, mbola ireo lehiben'ireo vondrona foko samihafa no mandrafitra ny firenena. |
16 | The traditional rulers no longer exercise sovereignty but only ceremonial powers. | Tsy mampihatra ny fiandrianana intsony ireo filoha nentim-paharazana fa manao fombafomba mampiseho ny fahefàny fotsiny. |
17 | However, they remain a potent moral force with grassroots validity among their subjects. | Kanefa, mbola mijanona ho ampinga maoraly lehibe manan-kery eo anivon'ireo mpanaraka azy izy ireo. |
18 | The Oba of Lagos is one of the revered traditional monarchy in Nigeria, and Lagos is a former capital of Nigeria, an economic nerve centre and cultural melting point - with diverse ethnic nationalities as residents. | Iray amin'ireo fitondrana nentim-paharazana lolohavina an-tampon'ny loha any Nizeria ny Oba an'i Lagos, ary renivohitr'i Nizeria teo aloha i Lagos, toerana ivon'ny toekarena ary fihaonan'ny kolontsaina - izay ahitàna olona avy amin'ireo foko maro samihafa monina ao. |
19 | Nigerians will vote for state governors this weekend. | Nifidy ireo governoram-panjakana ny Nizeriana tamin'ny faran'ny herinandro 11 Aprily teo. |
20 | The two major contenders for Lagos State governorship slot are Akinwumi Ambode of the APC (All Progressive Congress) and Jimi Agbaje of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). | Ireo roa lehibe mifaninana ho governoram-Panjakana an'i Lagos dia i Akinwumi Ambode an'ny APC (All Progressive Congress) ary i Jimi Agbaje an'ny “Peoples Democratic Party” (PDP). |
21 | The presidential elections, which were held on March 28, saw General Muhammadu Buhari of the All Progressive Congress (APC) defeating the incumbent, Dr Goodluck Jonathan of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). | Ny Jeneraly Muhannadu Buhari an'ny All Progressive Congress (APC) no nivoaka nandresy ny tompon-toerana teo aloha, Dr Goodluck Jonathan an'ny Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), tamin'ny fifidianana filoham-pirenena natao ny 28 Martsa. |
22 | Though peaceful, the elections were, however, marked with ethnocentric political alignments with the South-East and South-South voting for President Jonathan, while most parts of North and South-West voted for General Buhari. | Na dia nizotra am-pilaminana aza, ilay fifidianana dia nomarihan'ny fiandaniana politika ara-poko, nifidy ny Filoha Jonathan ireo avy any amin'ny faritra Atsimo-Atsinanana sy ny Atsimo, raha nifidy ny Jeneraly Buhari kosa ireo avy any amin'ny faritra Avaratra sy Atsimo-Andrefana. |
23 | These ethnic fault lines might play out in next Saturday elections. | Mety hihatra ihany koa io fizarazaràna ara-poko io amin'ireo fifidianana amin'ny hatao ny Sabotsy 11 Aprily. |
24 | The Igbos of South-Eastern Nigeria gave block votes to President Goodluck Jonathan. | Nanolotra safidy tokana ho an'ny Filoha Goodluck Jonathan ny Igbos an'ny Atsimo-Atsinanan'i Nizeria. |
25 | Netizens were naturally furious about the Oba of Lagos' “hate speech” and threat. | Mazava ho azy fa tezitra mafy tamin'ny “kabary fankahalàna” sy ny fandrahonan'ny Oba-n'i Lagos ireo mpisera amin'ny Aterineto. |
26 | Chxta said it was a call to unleash genocide on the Igbos: | Nilaza i Chxta fa antso ho famahàna ny famonoana faobe an'ireo Igbos iny: |
27 | I have thought about it. | Nieritreritra momba an'iny aho. |
28 | This is the fact: three national papers, This Day, Independent & PM News quoted him. | Izao no zava-misy: Gazety nasionaly telo, This Day, Independent & PM News no niresaka azy. |
29 | Oba Akiolu threatened genocide | Nandrahona hanao famonoana faobe ny Oba Akiolu |

35 | Writer Tunde Leye requested that the Lagos State governor, Tunde Fashola, sanction the Oba: | Mangataka ny governoram-Panjakana, Tunde Fashola, hanasazy ny Oba, iTunde Leye mpanoratra : |
36 | Your party wrote the ICC about Patience Jonathan's hate speech. | Nanoratra ho an'ny Fitsarana Heloka Bevava Iraisampirenena ny antokonao tamin'ny kabary feno fankahalàna nataon'i Patience Jonathan. |
37 | I trust you will act on Oba Akiolu's hate speech @tundefashola - Tunde Leye (@tundeleye) April 6, 2015 | Matoky aho fa hanao zavatra ihany koa ianao amin'ny kabary feno fankahalàna nataon'ny Oba Akiolu @tundefashola - Tunde Leye (@tundeleye) |
38 | The Oba should go, tweeted Foghi Batarhe: | Tokony hiala ny Oba, hoy ny bitsik'i Foghi Batarhe: |
39 | I won't even bother to share that audio file. | Tsy tia hizara ito horonam-peo ito akory aho. |
40 | That Oba Akiolu should be deposed. | Tokony halàna izany Oba Akiolu izany. |
41 | Straight. | Avy hatrany. |
42 | He was even swearing by Allah. | Nianiana tamin'ny Allah mihitsy aza izy. |
43 | - Foghi Batarhe (@Batarhe) April 6, 2015 Nze Slyva decried the ethnocentric sentiments that had characterized the election season: | Nitsikera ilay fihetseham-po niandany araka ny foko izay nanamarika ilay fotoanan'ny fifidianana i Nze Slyva: |
44 | I see anti Igbo sentiments everywhere. | Hitako eny rehetra eny ireo fihetseham-po tsy tia Igbo. |
45 | From the Oba who ‘owns' Lagos to Mr Afolayan whose work I happen to admire a lot. | Manomboka amin'ny Oba izao ‘tompon'i' Lagos ka hatramin'i Mr Afolayan izay misy fotoana tiako tokoa ny asany. |
46 | Dalu nu o! | Dalu nu o! |
47 | - Sylva Nze Ifedigbo (@nzesylva) April 6, 2015 | |
48 | However, not all were in support: | Kanefa, tsy ny rehetra no nanohana: |
49 | If I were an Igbo leader, I would tell my kinsmen it is in our enlightened self interest to align with the Oba. Give and take | Raha izaho no mpitarika Igbo, lazaiko ireo ray aman-dreniko hoe ao anatin'ny tombotsoantsika manokana ny milahatra amin'ny Oba. Manome sy mandray |
50 | - Atom Lim (@AtomLim) April 6, 2015 | Nanesoeso ireo miaro ny Oba i Obinze: |
51 | Obinze lampooned those defending the Oba: The idiots who were defending the Oba with their fathers grave that he didn't make those comments have gone silent. | Lasa nangina teo ireo tsy misy saina izay niaro ny Oba niaraka tamin'ireo rainy, nametraka hoe tsy hanao ireny fanehoan-kevitra ireny izy. |
52 | Fools! - OBINZE (@UzoUriel) April 6, 2015 | Adala! - OBINZE (@UzoUriel) |
53 | Typically, some Twitter users made jokes out of the discussion. | Araka ny mahazatra, nanao hanihany tamin'ilay adihevitra ireo sasany tamin'ny mpampiasa Twitter . |
54 | I just called my Uncle whose siblings where inside Oba Akiolu's mouth while he was speaking. | Vao niantso ny dadatoako mihitsy aho, izay tao ambavan'ny Oba Akiolu ireo iray tampo aminy fony izy niteny. |
55 | HE DID NOT say that. | TSY niteny izany IZY. |
56 | ABIA. | ABIA. |
