Sen.Marafa and Sen.Magnus Abe should be suspended immediately for Anti-Party Activities... Abe and Marafa Caused APC Defeat In both Rivers and Zamfara....Marafa should Have let go of the Cases instead of fighting the Party to Death in the State ## Adams should do the Needful by Suspending Every Members That fought the Party till Death in their various States.

The position is too powerless to make an impact in a presidential election. Honestly speaking i didnt even know who is the present chairman until i read it now. However, Tinubu is supporting Fayemi, thats why EL Rufai lashed out at Tinubu. The report by Guardian that Tinubu is against Fayemi is incomplete and deceitful.

you're right... The Rift between El-Rufai and Tinibu is because BAT projected Fayemi for The NGF top seat....The Nation Newspaper reported it few days ago that SE PDP Governors have endorsed Fayemi but many said it was nothing but lies from BAT Newspaper... Anyways,Best of Luck to Fayemi

Here we are again with another Tinubu news... BAT and PYO have not Declared their intentions to run For 2023 and Yet the youth of this Generation are making them More Popular across the Cyber Space on Daily Basis...Tune to Your Radio Station,it's all about Tinubu,Go on Twitter, it's all about Tinubu,Facebook,It's all about Tinubu.... Tinubu popularity is gaining momentum when He's yet to Declare... Anyways, Best of luck to all the intending aspirants

Not necessarily...the idea was to open up a war on two fronts for the Nigerian Army

At the start of the Civil War in 1967, the Midwest Region was neutral and the war was being fought on the Biafran northern border. As a result, the Biafran Army opened up a second front by capturing the Midwest region...which was lightly defended, entering the Western region, capturing Ore, with Lagos being in their sights (a creek-borne invasion was planned)

This invasion had two effects

1.It tipped the Western region to the Federal side (previously they were kind of neutral).

2.It forced Gowon to declare total war, form a total war cabinet, and begin to fight seriously

The Midwest region was recaptured, and the war heated up.

P.S The Biafran Midwest governor...Albert Okonkwo declared the Midwest a republic called 'Benin Republic' which lasted 24 hours. The idea was to have a buffer state between Biafra and Nigeria. It did not work

PS2. As a result of the failed invasion, several biafran officers...Ifeajuana, Banjo and several others including Sam Alale were executed for treason.(Rumor has it that they were planning to capture the Western region, then remove Ojukwu, and then acheive the goals of the January coupists....something alluded to by Ademoyega in his book 'Why we struck')

Thanks for the enlightenment.

eyeview:

Because after being defensive against an army hell bent on finishing you, you vex and get offensive after a while. You really need to read the history books, you will just realise that you will do the same thing Ojukwu did. The man never wanted a war. He and gowon went to Aburi in Ghana where the Aburi peace accord was signed. He believed there was peace and room for further discussions. The next few days later, he received news that Nigerian soldiers had started advancing against the biafra region from north central and South west. Gowon had let himself to be influenced by the northern officers and traditional rulers. It wasn't what they discussed but the man had to mobilise and defend a fight with an army he barely had time to put together.
I can forward you some extracts

OK....Thanks

franchasng:
Lagos was the capital of Nigeria then.

Back then, and even now, once you capture a country's capital, and take over the seat of their power, you have won the war, the country will surrender and demand for peace or negotiation to end the war and agree to your terms.

Ojukwu knew Biafra was not prepared for war, so when Gowon the then Head of State of Nigeria declared war on Biafra in what he called Police Action to return Biafra back to Nigeria after Ojukwu declared that Eastern Nigeria is now on their own and to be known as Biafra, Ojukwu moved all Biafran brave soldiers and commandos towards Lagos, with the intention of capturing Lagos so Gowon could run away and demand for seize fire and allow Biafra to go.

So Ojukwu's intention to capture Lagos was to end the war fast before Nigerian foreign allies (Britain, Egypt, etc) came on board and used air raids, superior firepower and heavy air bombardment and military backup to dislodge Biafran soldiers from capturing Lagos. Biafran soldiers were already to Sagamu when they stopped advancing towards Lagos when the Biafran Military commander instructed them to stop advancement until further instruction, which gave Nigerian army time to regroup and confront Biafran soldiers and pushed them back to Ore.

It was never meant to take over Southwest, but to end the war fast and save Biafra the load of engaging in a long civil war without a former national army or economy structure.

Hope u understand better now

OK...Thanks for the enlightenment and God bless you

shadeyinka:

In those days, if you could capture the capital (Lagos) it is as good as the war is over!

It wasn't particularly a wise move but that was the thinking then!

OK... Thanks

I need someone to Tell me why Ojukwu Led His Biafra army to South west...What was Ojukwu Purpose of leaving His Biafra Territory to the Yoruba Land?....Was He planning to capture and Enslave the Yoruba's or what?....I just need answers to the questions and no sentiment should be attach.

I heard they speak Edo language there, so why did Obasanjo adminstration fraudulently ceded it to south west, ondo state.?

Edo state government needs to look into this
.

It's Sad That People like you just come online to display your level of ignorance....You should have make some research about OSE And Irele LGA In Ondo State... People from Ose LGA speak pure Yoruba and Their dialect is similar to that of OWO LGA... We have towns Like Ifon,Idoani,Ute,Arimogija,Ijagba,Okeluse and a few to mention under Ose LGA...Without any Doubt... Ose is 100% Yoruba and we have notable people like Sen.Bode Olajumoke, Eniolorunda Omosule,Otunba Timihin Adelegbe and many more and for Irele LGA.. It's pure Yoruba and 100% Oodua Land... They speak ikale as Local Dialect and not Edo....I live in Ondo State and I know more about those LGA

So you guys have finally accepted the reality that Femi Gbajabiamila is the next speaker of the HoR? . The same way you will accept the reality of a south west presidency when it happens again in 2023.

Please remove deputy senate president from your list. That position should go to the good people of south south Nigeria.

Don't you think this Hard on our Brothers from The East... No matter what their sins might be.. They should be recognized at the National Level... President(NW),V.P(SW),S.P(NE),Speaker(SW),Chief Justice(North)....This is unfair to other part of the country.... Our Friends from the East should go and Learn how to play politics without Hate...One and Better Nigeria is the goal and it shouldn't be a Govt by the North and Sw alone... God bless Nigeria

BuhariAdvocate:
Kano is headquarter of APC .PDP satanic party should take note of that. good people of kano reject PDP .I wonder why the party want to imposed their candidate on kano people.

SMH.....What is Happening in Kano is a rape of Democracy #I don't wait for Politicians Penny before I fed for myself... You need to condemn the Happenings in Kano....no to Human killings and voters intimidation.

Introvertedmarc:
So how do you collate state house of assembly and leave out governoship election?.... when both elections held same time/place and scenerio?

The question is begging for answers and I don't know how Governor Abubakar is going to survive this... Inec should do the needful by Declaring Bala the winner... How on Earth will the State House Of Assembly election results be collated and you leave that of the Governor.

aremuforlife:
Any party that field a northern candidate in 2023 should be regards as enemy of the unity of Nigeria.
We all know that the North has the population to decide the country election, and they have used the uninterrupted period of ruling and I expect them to respect the fact that we have other region in the country.
South should come out with one voice and support theirselves.

You're absolutely right... I'm from North Central and kogi State to be precise, I don't like the disunity among my Southern Brothers and Sisters... The North have done theirs and it's time for the South to come out in one accord... If PDP go ahead to field A Tambuwal or kwankwaso in 2023...Tinubu,Okorocha,PYO,Elechi and kalu should kiss the presidency goodbye.. Take it or leave PMB will not be on Ballot in 2023 and North are Power Hungry and you don't expect them to leave a Tambuwal to vote Tinubu... That's impossible....Let the South be wise and they pray PDP should not fix a candidate from the North.

MorataFC:
yeah you are 100% correct, Buhari can never loose to Atiku not in the North, I said before that Atiku committed political blunders by picking his running mate from South East, we all know southeast and south/south are PDP's, anybody PDP picks as their presidential candidate they will vote for him, southwest is APC, if he had picked his running mate from southwest there's possibility that southwest votes would be divided or even majority votes for him.
Sentiment plays majority role in election, many people don't care about the profile of the candidates they vote for once the candidate is from their region/state they will vote for him.
Political sentiment is what is killing Nigeria today u can't expect southwest to leave Osinbajo and vote for Obi.

Forget the sentiment Bro... SW does not Vote along Religion or Ethnic Line... Are you referring to the same Osinbajo that lose At Polling unit, ward and Local Government level to Atiku/Obi...I'm in Ondo State and Osinbajo factor or His trader money does not add to anything.. The people are more educated and enlighten beyond Ethnic division, if PDP pick Fayose from Ekiti they will still lose the state

nameo:
Regardless of what happens, I will continue to hope the Yorubas in very high

The South westerner are highly educated and inform... This is the only region in Nigeria that Vote base on achievement devoid of tribe or Religion... They don't Vote along ethnic division but they vote for personality...The Lautech students saga and Poor governance have come to hunt Ajimobi in OYO and Akeredolu decision to increase tuition fees across the State of Ondo and the anti party activities perpetrated by Aketi caused APC thrashing in ONDO.....no political Party should expect Block vote from SW irrespective of any Candidate the parties are presenting... Ire ooo

If he is surest him Give us picture

And I will show to him why he is

Where are you in OWO because the OWO I live in is now full of Tension... APC Hoodlums led by Fatai have been attacking Supposed Enemies and Supporters of Sen.Boroffice since Yesterday Night... I live at iyere OWO and I could heard Sporadic gun shot when The House of Assembly Member House was attacked Yesterday just because He supported Boroffice against the wish of the Governor.... I was on my way to Post office Today and I see how PDP ijebu office was destroyed by APC Hoodlums... OWAS Of PDP poster was Destroyed by APC along Eco Bank road leading to Inufele filling Station... As it stand Now if not for APC and Governor Akeredolu Thugs... APC is losing this LGA Heavily tomorrow. ...I'm not A Politician but APC stand no chance in this LGA and that's why they are creating Tension

Jonathan:

Lmao. Continue living in delusion

I guess... You don't live in Ondo State.. I live in Ondo State and that's the bitter truth, I'm also an APC member.. I will be voting for koko for OWO constituency2.(APC).,Adelegbe for House of rep (APC) and Boroffice for Senate(Ondo North ) and Atiku for President.. That's what is on ground and Akeredolu will lose in OWO LGA

Kagawa10:

Lies. Atiku didn't pull much crowd in Ondo despite coming earlier than Buhari did. Show us Mko democratic park with Atiku to substantiate your claim. Ko sere ni moscow.

Smile... You're wrong Bro, Atiku came to Akure on the 12th which was monday and then head To Ekiti... He came back to Democracy park Around 4pm in the evening and He still pull more crowd than PMB.. You're far from Ondo State and you don't really know what is going on in the State.. PDP structure is very weak in the State but every 8 of 10 have always say they will vote for Atiku.. The Hunger is much in the State

Anambralstson:

Buhari will lose Ondo for sure, Atiku pulled more crowd in Ondo state

That's certain... Apc will win other seat here but PMB will lose with a wide margin

[quote author=DeLaRue post=75453898]Without serious election day pay-per-vote by APC, I believe PDP will win Ondo. And that's despite the fact that the PDP structure in the state is weak, and lacking notable heavyweights with serious financial firepower. Heck, people will even tell you Atiku 'is a thief,' yet they'll go on to say they prefer him to Buhari.

It's the economy. People are very bitter about their economic situation. They hold Buhari responsible.

When I ask people about their voting intentions, between 7 & 8 out of 10 say they'll vote PDP. Clearly, this is not a scientific poll, hence it could be widely inaccurate. But one thing is certain, Ondo people are stubborn & independent-minded when it comes to politics. Despite the near-blanket presence of PYO posters everywhere, most of them will vote their conscience.

I hope APC know they have a big fight on their hands in the SW. If they assume SW voters will vote for them just because of the vice President, they will get the shock of their lives.

Whatever happens APC will not get a landslide in the SW...unless of course, they employ vote inducement with big cash handouts on election day. Or, just rig the elections.





You're right... I stay in OWO LGA and I am 100% sure That Atiku will defeat Aketi in His LGA... PDP structure is weak but every 8 of 10 on the street will tell you they are voting Atiku... APC will clinch other seat but Buhari will be defeated in Gov.Akeredolu Local Government

Calers:
All pdp rally is 50 by 50 plot of land.

Smile...Google would have help you with more info about the MKO Abiola Democracy park.. It's the largest in the State... All presidential and Governorship rallies are held there... Make sure you always do your findings before you come online to disgrace yourself

globemoney:
Atiku is no campaigning in car parks lol

Instead of Laughing at your ignorance.. Google would have help you with more info about The MKO Democracy park... It's not a car park but a democracy park and it's the largest in Ondo state... All presidential and Governorship rally are held here

Yemikola:
Atiku can't be an option in Ondo/Ekiti. APC has a very robust structure in Ondo and I don't see Atikulated PDP being able to challenge that. The man ATIKU is not sellable to an average Yoruba man, the name is synonymous with corruption & looting. Look through the faces on that stage & you will understand clearly that these are hungry vultures waiting for perfect opportunity to strike & devour our common patrimony with speed of light.

I'm not sure you're from Ondo State... If truly you live in the State, it means you're far from reality... APC and Aketi have a robust and strong structure in the State and that will give APC upper hand in the State Assembly and NASS election but Atiku will beat Buhari Blue and Black in the presidential election... I'm currently in Ijebu Ward which is Akeredolu unit and I can bet it that Aketi will struggle to get 35% vote for Buhari in the unit.

sarrki:
The picture circulating on social media is fake

This is the picture of the rally today in Ekiti southwest Nigeria

I have not always taken you serious but I expect you to live above this partisan politics... I watched the campaign live on AIT and the crowd was overwhelming... Saraki,Fayose and Atiku engaged in dancing competition... This is 2019 and you have not stop lying...your case is a sorry one.... Ire ooo.

Arysexy:
Oboy! Oshokomole na mobilizer!

See crowdeeeeeee!

Them be like sand.

Atiku/Obi is a goaaaal!

That's just a stop over at ikere LGA and not the main campaign ground at Ado... We are all waiting for his arrival at Akure....Ondo State is Atikulating....Just come to Ondo State and tell the market women, artisans,Okada riders and most especially AAUA student that Buhari is a good man and you will not live to see what is going to happen next

Tundemuttee:
Waiting in ondo.....

Atikulate

Where are you Because I am currently at Road Block... I will be coming to Democracy park soon... I will vote APC for Other Seat but Atiku got my vote for President..... my friends at Ikere Ekiti who are students of AAUA are already Atikulating this morning and they have gone straight to Ado right now with the incoming President.

kaluxy007:
Me wey dey Akure for 20yrs dey tell zombies say Buhari no fit win for Southwest not to talk of Ondo

I dey repeat am, I'm sounding it again...If Buhari gets more than 40% in Southwest call me Bastard

Its hunger that will tell people where to vote this time not 4+4

I also Reside in OWO LGA of Ondo State.... PDP will win the presidential election here... That one is very sure... Hunger wan kill people for here but APC will surely clinch all other elective Seat... I don't know of other SW States but Ondo state and OWO LGA are saying no to Buhari... I'm voting for APC for House of Assembly election most especially Koko from iyere OWO, Adelegbe for House of rep, Boroffice for Senate And Atiku for president.

tungamaje:


I reside in Akure. I don't think Buhari will win in Ondo State. There is hunger in the land and everybody is complaining. APC will definitely win the House of assembly, House of reps and senate but not the presidential election

You're right Bro....I don't know of other SW sates but as far as Ondo State is concerned... APC will win majority of the legislative seats but PDP will surely win the State.....APC are banking on the PYO factor but it's not adding up... The Hunger is over the State.... The people are Hungry.. I paid #26k as School fees under the PDP led administration but I now pay 100k as school fee under this maladministration...Ondo is a win for Atiku...enough of the Hunger

Omololu001:
even akeredolu is performing so poorly... I will be shock if he contest and win again

He tried a Bit in the aspect of Salary but He's not living up to expectations in the Educational aspects.....The Man is trying to increase the AAUA School fees for the second time in less than 12month.

Ballack1:
In Ondo State here,people are tired of Buhari.Pdp has upper hand here, but the party structure is weak.

You're right... PDP structure is weak and that may cost them House of Assembly And NASS Seats but Atiku will defeat Buhari hands down here.

ochejoseph:


On Behalf of the good people of Benue of which I am one we reject this curse in Jesus name .

We are reject Buhari and APC 100% we are fully Atikulated in Benue

Hmm
