@DAPOLAM,
Plase verify are you saying your company is just A.G.O /PMS/ DPK. Supplier? thats you are not an independent MARKETER LICENCE BY DPR?

dapolam:

KOBOJUNKIE,i put it to you that you are one of the many people that will abuse and blame a Local Government Chairman that stands for a change by the time the Opponents Sell untrue gist about him.

Lol…. I don’t insult people but I seriously question their actions. I have NEVER INSULTED ANY of your leaders for doing the right thing, I don’t even insult the now president for being slow. So Unless you can PROVE without a shadow of doubt that I insult persons based on rumors, I suggest you please stick to PROVING YOUR WORTH or accept you may not be ready for the job here. If you take office, be sure that I will question your every move and if possible, expose any corrupt acts of yours to the public. If asking serious and straight forward questions, demanding straight and honest answers in return is a crime, than I am guilty of that without doubt. But No SIR, I do not insult persons because of hearsay!! I don’t. I do ask questions of these people and demand they answer as they sign over their privacy to us the minute they take office.
So can we now get back to you ANSWERING QUESTIONS instead of trying to somehow make your opinion of my person the issue here?

dapolam:

The way u didnt confirm my own story before believing and coming on Nairaland to sell it is the way u d believe that too.

Your story? What in the world are you going on about? Who the heck are you?? Are you sure you are addressing the right person here?

dapolam:

I also still insist on setting a better arrangement for these levels of government i.e Local Government Chairman, Governor and President before one sets to go vie for any of them because it has bn said look before you leap. I have done my homework and i know that before i can make any attempt at any of these i must first go set up some bills that would make my work easy and sensible.

See, we still do not see things the same here. If you have done your homework, don’t you think you ought to be working on giving us straight answers on why you way is better, rather than giving us the same old jive? I mean, I have friends in the UK today who plan on moving back to Nigeria, straight from school to run for office. They also have at one time or another sponsored homeless kids and boast of how that will bolster their resume in the eye of the people they hope to get votes from.

dapolam:

I am not used to giving excuses for non performance. It is either i will perform or i don't take a shot at all.I have my laid down plans and sure i know my onions.But truly a lot has bn learnt also in the past few months i joined Nairaland.The L.G.A's are the most near to the people(masses) and the only way the dividends of democracy can get to them is by making sure there is enough money to provide the necessary amenities for them. The issue of waste is another case.

It is? Are we speaking of the same Nigeria? Why again do you feel, after all the waste we have experienced in that country up to this day, that pumping more money in, is the way to go? What happened to fixing the holes so that when we open the pumps, the water will not leak out? If you truly believe these so called plans of yours will work, why are you not speaking of them to us in more convincing ways? It is your job to convince us, you know?

dapolam:

My own opinion is the serious overhauling of the Nigerian Police Force.I.e increase in basic salaries,Insurance scheme,good housing facilities,Training abroad or arrangement for specialist to come over and train them,They must be well armed and they must face serious training to always keep them fit at all times,The idea of sending their families packing after losing their life during service to their fatherland is unacceptable,it must stop.

Again pumping more money. . . . WOW!!

FADAKA,the coy is just one that does suppliers of petroleum pdts to end users.i.e it is not An independent marketer that is registered with DPR.To be an independent marketer entails so much capital and we dont have such.But we hope as we continue business,God will enlarge it and we can move up the ladder.We only load and supply to coys and end users only.And at my age i should be able to raise btw N500,000 and N1m.Where is the corrupt enrichment my Brother/sister?Lets keep our fingers crossed as i am very sure i am not a saint but i am in order.

Kobojunkie,pls dont get annoyed to the extent of using who the heck are you?It might take the shine off this discussion.I d never disrespect you in anyway but remember there is no way we d be discussing that issues wont come up.Thanks
Also there is no question of yours that i havent answered,Maybe my answers aint good enough.But sure we can delibrate and fine tune them to suit what we all can benefit from.There is no library of knowledge.
I have also told you that i will not come online here to start making noise of what i have done,it is not my way and i stick to that.I can give you details and you d go confirm if need be.But definitely not online.I dont believe in making noise about charity.It is a responsibility of all citizens and not a favour by anyone doing it.
Money is not getting to the right places and its also bn channeled through the wrong places.I believe first that the Local Government must be well funded to make dividends of democracy available to the people at the grassroot.The mega Allocation to the State has little effect on the man/woman at the Local level.But giving a Chairman a good Allocation to work with solves the problem partially.While i had included the issue of Police overhauling so as to make them effective and even the EFCC should just be a section under The Nigerian Police Force.They will monitor and prosecute any public office holder that is corrupt.
I also support the removal of the Immunity clause.This will help in so much ways and we must cap it with the passage of the FOI bill.If we can achieve this,then we are moving forward and we can build on that.

Dapo, you don't know me and I've never seen you before but I just got on facebook to see your picture for the first time. You are obviously trying to save face here but I must say I know your younger brother Tunji and he did say a lot about how you guys used to enjoy yourselves in the days of your dad I even saw pictures. Also, I saw some pictures you guys took in the hotel, where you were engaged in different sexual orgies. I saw these naked ladies who look like they were enjoying themselves.

I'll not give too much away as I was your brother's friend and without trying to snitch or reveal myself too much, I believe I had to say this for the benefit of the masses out there suffering. I lived in the same flat for at least 2years with your brother in London (your brother used to shuttle between Nigeria and London then) and in fact, he's a close friend of mine to the point that he owes me £400 (but I'll not give too much away as to how he owed the money).
Also, there's a fraud that was conducted by a Nigerian (Segun) and you and your brother were partners to this crime. I'll not give away too much about this Nigerian guy's details but he (Segun) worked in a money transfer company (not Western Union) and he was in charge of authorising transactions (sent to Nigeria and GHana) so that people can pick up the funds transferred from the UK. I can confirm there are so many fraudulent transactions that were made and Tunji Lam-Adesina and yourself travelled far and wide within Nigeria and Ghana using fraudulent passports with different names to pick up the funds created by the fake transactions authorised by Segun. Segun was eventually arrested in the UK and deported but I can confirm that he's back in the UK now, under a different name and we've spoken a couple of times as he's a close friend of mine.

Tunji I heard (last year anyway) went to Cardiff University in Wales to continue with his masters (and whether he eventually started,finished or not),  I cannot say.

I feel bad doing this but I'm sorry to say that Nigeria is in a mess and if I have to lose friends to speak the truth, I surely will to save my country. I hope people realise that I've not made these things up and if worst comes to worst, I'll give evidence if apprached by people who need them. I don't need any money but this is the plain truth.

For a bit of hint to the truth, Tunji used to come to Thamesmead in London and had loads of Ibadan friends whom I could give one other name and Dapo would know I'm not lying.

I remembered Tunji's ex-girlfriend whom Tunji bought a ticket to London and as a gift for Valentine day, he didn't tell the lady he'll be travelling with her but surprise surprise, Tunji showed up on the same plane as she was about to take off to London. (Tunji said this himself and this is not hear-say).

I pity the Ibadan guys who are languishing in poverty as Dapo is no different from the stereotype polyticians and would only enrich himself again when the time comes.

Dapo and Tunji (Lam-Adesina's sons) had contracts during their dad's tenure but didn't carry out any of them. Dapo,I'm sorry but your brother revealed too much. You're definitely not genuine.

OMG!

I wonder why anyone is taking this dude serious.

@ dapolam
Your father never genuflected for Adedibu? You must really be taking us for cyber-idiots on this forum. That said, my dropping point is that your past does not speak well for you. You are not ready to be transparent and I am beginning to see you as the latest comedian on the block. I am seriously been entertained by this thread and I am sure, am not the only one who shares this same view in respect to your verbiages without paragraphs.

Ikeymann0O,lies,lies and lies all the way.I can tell you categorically and with God as my witness that you are very wrong.I have never traveled anywhere outside Nigeria asides The Uk.Where did the Ghana come from?I have never bn involved in any fraud in my life,Where did the issue of scam come in?I have lived my life on what i have,too bad you can be so desperate to go this way,But trust me God Almighty will judge us all someday.Remember love thy neighbour as yourself and also thou shall not make false claim against a fellow human being.I have never bn involved in any useless orgies or what do you call it but i have always bn a ladies man.I pray God forgives you on all these untrue allegations.If you have problems with my brother kindly go sort it out and remember there is a difference btw Dapo and Tunji.You claimed i traveled wide to collect fraudulent money,God will forgive you as i have only bn to Enugu(NYSC),Ogun(Function),Lagos(function),Abuja(function and programme),Osun(Function),So where is the truth.I just pray God forgives you.It is well, Thanks anyway.God bless.

Pataki,If i have taken you for cyber-idiots,i wont be here.Kindly correct what ever sentence that is not correct,its a way for me to learn.We keep learning everyday.Also remember i have a lot to do here and you just try take me as i am.Lots of people to reply,its not an easy task.So typing here for me is a big deal and i must reply before you say he is arrogant and doesnt respect us, Thank you

Only a liar says that "God is his witness" but I have proofs and I'm not here to trash you. I saw pictures and I said again, I shared a flat with your brother.
I'm not against you neither am I for you because I am doing well where I am however, why not spare these guys as I can call your bluff. To be honest, I'm not that desperate to see you fail (because I hope you get where you want in life) but I can call your bluff if you say I'm lying it'll only end up revealing me out as a traitor but I must say that goes more than friendship when the masses are struggling to live under less than $2 a day and you are there enjoying.

Believe me there are stories of awarded contracts that was never carried out. Any one that read my previous message would know I'm not bullshitting because these are just not known facts but witnessed facts as well.

I care a great deal what happens in my country not what (though I'm on a forced exile myself for the past 15years but I still care) however, please spare us the Bible passages.

I hope the God you serve sees your heart, only if judgement could be carried out on earth rather than heaven.

Good luck though but I maintain what I said earlier.
PS: Could you dispell what I said above as rumours? Why would you confirm your brothers? I guess the issue of money and positions turn siblings to enemies.

I REALLY HOPE MY LIFE IS SAFE FOR AS MUCH AS I DON'T BELIEVE IN JUJU, I STILL FEAR FOR MY LIFE, HONESTLY.

Ikeymann0O,As much as i wish myself well,I wish you well also and I dont believe in juju.I am a God fearing human being.May God give you long life and the good things of life but you must realize that i meant no harm with my post but would never allow anyone push things i havent done on my head.Corruption and scam is a very terrible accusation if you need to know.How would a good citizen want to hear that a man that is involved in scam is contesting for an elective post?
I have never and will never be involved in all that.Are you not enjoying yourself and you make it look like its a crime for me to enjoy.But come to think of it,Maybe you need to find out well about me and realize that i aint all that you think.Just an ordinary,Normal Citizen i am.I am never against any of my brothers nor am i enemies with any but i just put it to u that if you have any grudge against TJ,U should sort that out with him and i am so sure he would be glad to make peace with you for the sake of friendship, instead of coming online to claim he owed you 40 pounds.And like i have said before i never collected either by proxy or by myself nor executed any Government contracts before in my life and i have living witnesses to testify and proofs.I would be glad if you can come out with proofs and let us all see that its not just hearsays.You have a right to hear stuffs and say it out cos its democracy but i never got involved either before,during or after my father's tenure in any government job.But remember that God is the best witness and anyone that calls his name in vain,has committed a terrible sin.So my calling God as my witness means a lot if you know what that means, Thanks a lot, God bless.

Dapolam, Really I'm not against you and I wish you well in your political endeavours. You're probably thinking I'm holding grudges or trying to give biith to fake rumours. When I said TJ owed me some money, I meant it and I wasn't making things up but that's over now so I guess we can forget it plus after fruitless chases, it's not worth it.

More so, you probably mean well as I have done some searches and I can see you everywhere online in order to clear your name of all sorts. Trust me, it's a hard job to be staightforward in Nigerian politics (I guess that's just a mere cliche).

I'm not an enemy and in fact, it's hard to say who means well plus a neutral person would be able to tell that I'm not making this up especially when it comes to mentioning names and getting that personal, I still maintain there are proofs but I guess it's a Nigerian mentality (forgive and forget) and though your brother never offended me, i have no grudges at all. The money issue is just so you realise how well I know him and yes, he owed me (but that doesn't matter anymore anyway as it's a long time) over a year that's all. There are stories and things were said (because we had to see things from the other side as some of us were not fortunate enough to be born with silver spoons in our mouths).

I expect you to enjoy yourself because that's life and I'm not here to criticise you other than justice for the average Nigerians out there.

Please Please Please, this is not a hate campain and after your response, I'm sorry if you feel I'm against you but I'm just not for Nigerian politics.

I hope you do well though because this time, you seem genuine and I believe you have the powers to rig but you're not looking at that venue.

Oh well, I'll rest my keyboard here, Goodluck though (hopefully you'll not need it and your clear intent will make you the hero that's needed in Nigeria).

dapolam, reading your post, you seem very interesting and your political competence also seems high. may i ask you couple of questions if you do not mind? 1. what do you think about gov lam adesina's tenure as a governor? 2. what do you think about politics in general in nigeria? 3. what do you think about the way akala seems to be handling things in ibadan? 4. how can you describe adedibu if you're asked? and finally, 5. what do you think about ribadu's latest stunt?
i will be looking for your response.

dapolam:

Kobojunkie,please don't get annoyed to the extent of using who the heck are you?It might take the shine off this discussion.

1) I am not annoyed and that is actually a legit question which I asked you in one of my first posts but I am yet to get answer from you. If the word “HECK” in the question puts you on edge, then ignore that but still move on to answer the question.

2) From some of the posts, I gather you are some officials/past official’s son and you seem to be desperately trying to separate yourself from your father in some way. A good leader needs to be able to tell us who he is and in this case, I would like to know. Who in the world are you? What do you think we should buy your argument that you are not the old person or something like that?

dapolam:

I d never disrespect you in anyway but remember there is no way we d be discussing that issues wont come up.Thanks

Actually, I am not sure where you are from but if you continue to believe you can PREDICT a persons reactions without providing solid reasons and PROOF for such, that, my dead politician to be, is disrespectful, no matter what country or state you are from.

So, as I mentioned in my previous post, please kindly lay off my person and your assumptions of me. Let us focus on getting information across on this as this is more about you since you are the one plunging into the public arena here, not I.

dapolam:

Also there is no question of yours that i havent answered,Maybe my answers aint good enough.But sure we can delibrate and fine tune them to suit what we all can benefit from.There is no library of knowledge.

I have asked you tons of questions and I believe one of the most recent happens to be about your ideas which seem to perpetuate the idea that money is the solution to the people’s problem. You are yet to address those. If you notice, what I have done is provide rebuttals to answers you have given to express a need for more explanation. Not sure why you do not consider those valid questions.

dapolam:

I have also told you that i will not come online here to start making noise of what i have done,it is not my way and i stick to that.I can give you details and you d go confirm if need be.But definitely not online.I don't believe in making noise about charity.It is a responsibility of all citizens and not a favour by anyone doing it.

You have to come online here to make noise. How else do you expect us to vote in an unknown when he refuses to provide us with no detailed information on who he is and what his accomplishments are? You chose to use the internet (the INFORMATION highway) for your campaign ground. If you do not know that also means you would have to release information about self and accomplishments, I don’t know what else to tell you. I am not running for office but I have my resume, listing detailed information about my background online so potential companies can see and know me before choosing to hire me.

dapolam:

Money is not getting to the right places and its also bn channeled through the wrong places.I believe first that the Local Government must be well funded to make dividends of democracy available to the people at the grassroot.

What dividends of democracy?

dapolam:

The mega Allocation to the State has little effect on the man/woman at the Local level.But giving a Chairman a good Allocation to work with solves the problem partially. While i had included the issue of Police overhauling so as to make them effective and even the EFCC should just be a section under The Nigerian Police Force. They will monitor and prosecute any public office holder that is corrupt.

Money again?? Your overhauling plan for the police seems focused more on increasing allocations to the police. The EFCC be a section UNDER the Nigerian police?? Are you for real? Man, you have to seriously explain how you expect this move to somehow cure us of corruption being that you are the same person who2 or 3 posts ago mentioned how Nigeria’s situation is a PECULIAR one.

dapolam:

I also support the removal of the Immunity clause.This will help in so much ways and we must cap it with the passage of the FOI bill.If we can achieve this,then we are moving forward and we can build on that.

But you are yet to answer me on the FOI at the local level first idea I put forth earlier. You can right now, without even getting in office at the National level, push for FOI at the local level. Why do you not see this as a good first move?

Ikeymann0O,Thanks a lot and God Almighty will protect and guide your ways arite.you shall not die young and pls always remember I am not a man that wants the downfall of others,I can see the love you have got for our dear people out here and I can assure you that very soon you will remember DapoLam for good and we will write our names in gold by the special grace of God.
It is us we have bn waiting for.No excuse for non performance.It is either we deliver or we dont take a shot at all.I appreciate and thank you once again but I insist you kindly make a way to talk over things with TJ as i am sure he d have one or two things to say too.Pls make peace with all,Only God knows where we d meet again, Much regards and respect from us here, God bless

cre8tivity,Thank a lot first of all for those kind words of yours.God bless.

1. About Gov Lam Adesina's tenure,I tell you with all authority that he tried his best but it wasnt good enough.He made his own mistakes and sure people like us have learnt from that.He made some blunders but if he didnt make that,how would people like us have learnt?But sincerely,that man tried his best for the people of Oyo State if we compare to the govs after him and taking into consideration the mega allocation they collect now.With Dapolam as Gov of present day Oyo State,and with the present close to N3bn monthly allocation,trust me there would be a sort of competition in terms of development btw Lagos and Oyo.It would have bn the noise of Fashola Vs Dapolam.Lam Adesina made mistakes no
doubt about that.

2. Politics in Nigeria is in a terrible state right now and that is why you and I must wake up from our slumber and fight for a better society.Because left to these our leaders politics is business and not service to the people.A public office holder must realize that bn in office you must sacrifice all.When we start thinking this way,Nigerian politics would be better.But I can assure you that my own mind is made up and i am not giving up this fight for any reason except the people say no to Dapolam which I know wont happen cos I am sincere.

3. Gov Akala, is wasting our generation.With over N24 bn recently and another N13bn asides the monthly close to N3bn and there is nothing to show for it.Dont you think it is a waste of time?He has gotten in few months what Lam Adesina got in four years.When the time comes,God's willing,I will lead the campaign against Gov Akala and we will deliver Oyo State from the shackles of his oppression and misrule and elect The man/woman we have bn waiting for to turn around the pacesetter state.

4.Alhaji Adedibu was a grassroot politician but an Anti development and Anti people politician.We dont need people like him anymore.He was selfish and self centered.Doesnt care about the generality of people but people that comes to his house to eat and seek for favour.I hope you heard about my encounter with him?When I chased his son and the Deputy Governor from my house.I never supported him nor his politics.

5.As much as I dont like Ribadu because of the fact that he allowed the demon OBJ to use him,I still feel that he should not be left to suffer alone.He must be demoted cos they said it wasnt done accordingly,we must follow due process at all times.The files he left with must be returned and he must be tried for offences committed under OBJ.While others that he worked for,covered for and fought for must also be brought to book.This will show us all that we must never allow ourselves to be used and that we must only fear God and respect the nation and her constitution must be followed to the letter,not a President who was selected and not elected by the people and has got just four years or max eight years, Thanks and God bless

Kobojunkie,I am the son of the former Governor of Oyo State,Alhaji Lam Adesina.

I also still insist that i will not come online to make noise of what i do for the people and on principle i wont change that cos i am one of the people that doesnt believe in Governors making billboards to show their achievements and also going on the pages of newspaper or online to make noise.I believe in actions.I am always ready to give other details of my life but not what i do for people.

The FOI bill cannot work from the local level.If it can face this much problems at the federal level ,dont you think it would be easier for a camel to pass through the hole of a needle than for it to work from the local level?Naturally in an ideal society,it should come from the local level and that is why i said Nigeria's case is peculiar and must be tackled from the top.Peculiar mess it is.

I am not going to be available for a while as I have to plan for our programme on the 18th and also we are having a meeting of a youths association in Lagos on the 21st and a conference of 100 youths on the 23rd in Lagos.Not that I would be out totally but my responses and replies might come a bit late.It is not an act of disrespect or overlooking nor is it an act of underrating.I really need to prepare for all the programmes and i assure i d be back fully shortly after, Thanks for the understanding and God bless, Nairaland oni baje o.

Questions have been asked with no answers:

Where did you work between 2006-2008? Were you running your cybercafe all that time?

You 'worked' for Stabilini as an 'IT student' - meaning you did a 6 month internship with minimal responsibility. Is that all that you have that qualifies you to hold political office?

What drive or initiative have you shown in business or otherwise for ANYONE to want to support you except sychophants and maybe your friends? Talking about 'change' - talk is cheap. For once I agree with Kobo - you have done nothing to even warrant consideration as a councillor except being the son of an ex-governor.

Your claims of 'installing' the chairman of an LGA sounds like an allusion to rigging, how exactly did you achieve this 'installation'?

You keep talking about 'what I do for people' - what is the source of all this? Running an account to get a facility from Zenith Bank, running the account with what? All you've said is 'I was a youth leader' and all of a sudden you should be accepted as a House of Reps member?

Your analysis of Akala's spending is besides the point - the fact that he may be 'worse' than Lam Adesina in no way removes culpability from the latter. But that is a digression, let's talk about you.

You've talked about passing bills - what happened to the millions of bills passed up till now?

Pump money left right and center - where is the money coming from? If you've given the ND 40% like you said, how are you going to fund everything else?

dapolam, now that you've attracted my attention, i'm with you. just in case you did not know, i was at your sister's wedding few years ago. i believe my people visited your people many times back in those days at felele,ibadan. i also remember the day your pop brought you and your brother to my place. i feel your sincerity and i wish you the best. i will keep my eyes on you.

@ debosky,

I pray he answers your questions most appropriately.

no need to abuse the man. it is obvious that he's trying his best. it is clear that he may not have answers to all your questions, at least for now. instead of trying hard to judge him or criticize what he's trying to accomplish, why not praise his courage and wisdom. nobody knows it all and this is why we continue to learn and grow every single day. give the man a break.

Abuse?

The same break was given to Smart Adeyemi see where it landed us.

The same break was given to Dimeji Bankole, the result is evident today.

The same break was given OBJ, Nigerians are still cursing him till tomorrow.

The same ''give the man a break'' was applied to all the thieves and rogues in power today, and yet they are milking us dry.

Dapolam has had a taste of what POWER AND MONEY can do, and how did he use it? His records speaks of him in his days in UI. Can he effectively defend how he has made/gotten ''his money''? NO!

Dapolam has effectively mastered the art of diplomatic answers which our thieves in leadership use to manipulate the simple minded Nigerians. I have not seen any serious agenda of his. Who cannot even draft propaganda in these days of the internet of copy and paste and revise?

He should find something else to do. I am see this as an outright joke of the year 2008.

Gbogbo alangba lo da inu bo le, eyin ti inu ro, a mo.

it isn't fair to paint everyone with the same colour, simply because questions weren't answered to your high standard. bright people do not operate or function this way and i'm not sure if we could come together and change anything in nigeria if we all think this way. it is obvious that he's being extra careful and doesn't want any fight with you guys. and i can not blame him for taking this route, afterall his identity is known. how many of you could come on nairaland and use your real names? he's not hidding and he's not afraid. i'm sorry, the man deserves a break and i think he will do just fine.

cre8tivity:

I have no problem with his person. For all I know he may be impersonating this so called son of Lam Adesina. He is running for office and needs to show us that he is ready for such a seat. I know of his father but I believe if he is really a man of integrity, he should be able to present his case well. I think we owe it to ourselves to ensure that those we elect are the best we have out there. Not necessarily education wise but in their understanding of what the situation really is and what solutions will best work in Nigeria.

cre8tivity:

bright people do not operate or function this way and i'm not sure if we could come together and change anything in nigeria if we all think this way.

I will be the first to tell you that I do not consider myself the brightest bulb in the room, but as a human being, I do know from experience that we have gotten people who seem all golden at first but turn out to be nothing but frogs that remained frogs upon entering office, even after the royal kiss and all from the people.

I have not in any way insulted him but I am beginning to get the notion that he feels insulted by my questioning him. Something I believe seems to be very common with Nigerians on here. If we do not openly question him and his integrity, how can we be sure that he is the right fit for the job? How can we elect him and tommorow, know that we did what we knew was right, even when we finally have fair elections?

By putting his name on the ballot, he is sort of mandated to reveal all about himself. I mean how do you campaign for a seat in government without wanting to reveal details of who you are, where you stand on issues and what you have accomplished so far to merit the seat? I hope you are not saying  that pounding a to-be politician with questions in order to get information, that makes sense to us, out of him is wrong? I mean I have seen this to be the case over and over but I know you of all persons are more rational that those to consider that to be the case.


Here in the USA, politicians open up their books and they are ready for BOXERS OR BRIEFS questions as well.  Infact, if you could do him a favour, get him to create a site where he files all his life documents so we Nigerians can see. If he believes in Freedom of Information, then it ought to start with him. That is the way to get not just my vote but my confidence.

What are you talking about seriously?

Has he dissociated himself from his predecessors? NO. The other day it was Adedibu's son aspiring for Senatorial position. Ibadan and its backwardness. Is this not the same old recycled political gimmicks we have seen over and over again that he is playing here? Who asked him to bare open his identity? He wants to a political office, he is clamoring that he is the CHANGE the society needs. . . . . . which is ridiculous to me. Thefore. . . . . . . .

Let him come open and address all issues that have been raised at him. What is there to hide if he is claiming transparency towards his political career. I DO NOT SEE ANYTHING SERIOUS TO BE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT WITH THIS HIS POLITICAL GAMES.

All,i am not dodging any question and will never.If i dont have an answer I will come out boldly to say i dont have an answer.There is no question I have not answered apart from the one on coming online here to make noise about how i have helped or impacted on the lives of people which I still insist i wont come online to make noise about.I will answer all questions that has to do with The development of our dear Country,My personal and private life,my ambition Etc but not about my charity life to the people.I will not break that rule.I have said over and over that if you need to know what I have done,Kindly find a way to my area in Felele,The Motherless babies home at yemetu,University Of Ibadan,Agricultural Engineering Dept,university of Ibadan and kindly make all your findings.

Also i gave a link for you to find out if i have proofs or not.(uiadvancement.org/list_benefactions.pdf) and check my name on number 40.I dont dodge any question in whatever way.I am a man of high Integrity and discipline.There is no issue I have not touched afterall.

Pls lets get to real discussion and stop dragging issues that are not worth it.Let us ask questions that will shake me and make me do more research and discuss on issues that can move Nigeria forward.By this we are moulding and building a candidate thereby we can have the best if we do that to all candidates.Anyone that wins will be for the development of our dear land.But if we continue this way,we can be on this for two years and 2011 is close.Please let us shelve this all and come to issues that can help solve the many problems of our land.No matter what i appreciate you all, God bless

Why do many people like to approach things from a negative/critical angle? It's always easy to sit down and dissect other people. Though I agree that many questions asked have been warranted and reasonable, i think some people just see an opportunity to judge a (son of a) public figure. Many people on nairaland are guilty of worse than he has been accused of. That does not mean he should not be held accountable. However, I would like to see more objectivity and less sentimentality.
There's a saying that the devil you know is better than the brother you don't. How many people here know anything about their current Reps or have ever interacted with them? This guy has come up here and defended himself endlessly against all sorts of things. Yet nobody has posted any evidence, however flimsy, with regards to any of the accusations. We should be careful how we judge people, because someday we may also be judged the same way. Everybody has a right to a past and also a right to change and to be given the opportunity to do so. We've seen those who look like saints go in to office and bleed the treasury dry.
I am not a supporter of Dapolam, just a neutral observer who like some here, wants Nigeria turned around for the better. If anyone here feels he or she can do a good job, the law allows him or her to go contest so let the person do so. No one has all the answers.

message for dapolam
according to my political experience with nigerians or in nigeria, you do not have to answer any question if you don't feel like it. you do not have to be too nice or respectful. be very firm, draft your plan and stick to it. please do not hesitate to set people straight if they cross the line.
when you display too much respect or too much mr nice or trying to impress by answering all their questions, it means you're gradually digging a hole for yourself and your future. most nigerians tend to take being nice and respectful as a weakness. they do not understand that language. therefore, once you open mr sweet or mr nice door, they will step all over your face and won't take you serious.
be firm, be tough, be smart, believe in yourself and give back to the best of your ability. the rest will come together.

Questions have been asked with no answers:

Where did you work between 2006-2008? Were you running your cybercafe all that time?

You 'worked' for Stabilini as an 'IT student' - meaning you did a 6 month internship with minimal responsibility. Is that all that you have that qualifies you to hold political office?

What drive or initiative have you shown in business or otherwise for ANYONE to want to support you except sychophants and maybe your friends? Talking about 'change' - talk is cheap. For once I agree with Kobo - you have done nothing to even warrant consideration as a councillor except being the son of an ex-governor.

Your claims of 'installing' the chairman of an LGA sounds like an allusion to rigging, how exactly did you achieve this 'installation'?

You keep talking about 'what I do for people' - what is the source of all this? Running an account to get a facility from Zenith Bank, running the account with what? All you've said is 'I was a youth leader' and all of a sudden you should be accepted as a House of Reps member?

@ creativity,
These are the question being asked and all we have gotten are political dribbles
What were you doing between 2006 and 2008 is the question that we need a robotic scientist to solve?

Tell us the source of your astronomical wealth increase between 1999 and now Is that what you need to dabble about?

@subice,

There's a saying that the devil you know is better than the brother you don't.

This was the same quote they used for OBJ and are trying to use for IBB do you still think the its better to chose a known devil?

Is it not ok for us to ask a few questions about someone who intends to seek our votes?

The parable of the talents in the bible gave us where someone was given a little and he multiplied it.

Dapolam was given a little by being governors son and we all know how he used his influence!!!

Someone became a topic for discussion on the State TV!!! It was that baddd!!!!

Is Lam Adesina the first governor to have a son?

I took the liberty of cutting out questions you have yet to give concise answers to @Dapolam. I would really appreciate it if you would spend some time providing indepth answers instead of skimming over them as if they are not asked. I do not know who you are and I wait to be convinced that a vote for you is a vote for change in the way things are run in Oyo.

1) Who are you?

3) What are you doing for those people now?

4) What have you done for those people in the past?

5) What are you planning to do for those people between now and 2011?

6) are you willing to work with organizations for the good of the people or are you just another “WHAT IS IN IT FOR ME?” cracker?

If, you have actually worked with organizations, list them so we can research them and make sure they are legit and not some front.

Can you prove this to be the case? I mean the “leaving the people to fight the leader gives room for chaos and anarchy” part.

@Dapolam, I still wait to hear what you have to say about dealing with issues at the local level FIRST?

Do you somehow believe problems at the LGA level is mostly due to lack of adequate allocations? Does pumping more mone into LGA’s really solve anything? We are looking for solutions, not more waste. We already have 10’s of bills passed by the house that are yet to be put into effect. Does adding more really change the situation? Are you sure you understand the problem in the country enough to think you are qualified to lead in any way in that country?

What dividends of democracy?

But you are yet to answer me on the FOI at the local level first idea I put forth earlier. You can right now, without even getting in office at the National level, push for FOI at the local level. Why do you not see this as a good first move?

Dayokanu sure still lives on hearsays.Anyways i told you that i had a cyber cafe which was very successful.Ask anyone about Skynet cybercafe at Oluyole estate.

I made a whole lot of money from it.I saved a whole lot while my father was governor from what he gives to me and gift from his friends.A man with a humble beginning like me would be sensible to know that nothing last forever.So i saved big time.The money made from the cybercafe,the proceeds of the sale of the cyber cafe,my savings and what my father was able to raise to help was what i contributed to raise the coy.
