Any Nigerian voting for buhari must be aware of the risk , the man Buhari is has a fundermental problem with the Nigeria of the future , he is a firm islamic fundermentalist. Buhari believes that the north must lord it on the southern parts of Nigeria ,he believes that all he needs is to get a few accomplishes from the west and make slaves of the other parts of the country ,he belives in the political oppression of the igbo,and does not even offer the most trivial position in any government he is involved in to any igbo .He believes in the caliphate and northern olighacy because they patronised and sponsored his military carear, He is a soldier and knows nothing of diplomacy as we can all remember his dictatorial regime was very much despised in diplomatic circles worldwide, he lacks compassion for the southerner but shows compassion for northerners, he has not explained that missing 2.8billion usd that misteriously vanished in his watch at NNPC. Nigeria needs something different ,I dont care what tribe ,Mr Buhari is not fit for purpose ,his dictatorial tendencies are so glaring and he lacks mordernity with a very primitive accent during speeches ,he is not a university graduate,Nigeria can do better without this nightmare.

Nonsense.

so?

This guy is a serial loser. What has changed? Nada. Only in the minds of his NairaLand bigots fanning embers of Boko Haram and Islamism. Period. This is a democracy, not one gun totting, decree bla bla bla guiding Mallam.

Now in the mind of NairaLanders, the APC has already won 2015.

Dino Melaye, up to you.

Forget the father's demands. Put your foot on the ground that you cant support the father anymore. Sit her down to talk, i dont think divorce is the next option, unless you are saying you dont love her anymore because of the pregnancy problems. You can still make up without the pop intervening. Dont abandon her since you got married legitimately.

so?

so?

is it not even a sin coming to NairaLand by your own question?

All the things you own, were they made by sinless people? Of course I know your answer, you will tell me you dont know, so it doesnt matter.

of course its the German that keeps fish.

So when they give him a chance to talk, he should keep quiet and say nothing, or say just want you think you want to hear.

I think by your own categorisation, you fall in the group who just want to talk.

old news

FORMER President Olusegun Obasanjo and Governor of Imo State, Chief Rochas Okorocha, literally exchanged words, as he described Okorocha as a failure.

Obasanjo was reacting to an earlier comment of Okorocha in his goodwill message at the grand finale of the civic reception held in his honour by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), South-West, at the Ake palace ground, Abeokuta, on Saturday.

The governor had in his comment jokingly referred to Obasanjo as his “colleague” in the 2003 presidential primary of the PDP.

Okorocha, in his comment, had described the former Board of Trustees’ chairman of the PDP, as an “unmoveable” and “unshakeable” man, who was not afraid of fighting any battle.

“We are here to give honour to whom honour is due. OBJ is a man difficult to be described. He represents different things to different people. He is not afraid fighting any battle. He is a general soldier.

“Obasanjo is indeed PDP. But in the actual sense, he’s a national leader. He does not belong to the PDP alone but a national leader of Nigeria. If I have another opportunity to advise him, I will tell him to be the national leader of the country and not the national leader of the party,” Okorocha added.

The governor, who defected from the PDP to All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), was recalling his days as Special Adviser to the ex-president on Inter- Party Affairs, told the gathering that he advised Obasanjo while in office as ex-president, which led to the good things he achieved.

Okorocha exonorated himself from all the “bad things” Obasanjo did while in office, saying that he was out of the country when he (OBJ) erred.

He urged Nigerians not to allow political party practices to slow the pace of development, saying that it was time to stop politicking against good governance.

He said that “Political party is only a vehicle to attain governance. However, we must know when to stop politics and embrace governance. Let us produce more leaders than politicians.

“We must realize that what unites us is more than the party that divides us. While we play politics, let us not forget the masses that voted us into power. The party cannot put food on the table of the common man.”

But the ex-president, to the chagrin of Okorocha and dignitaries present at the ceremony, said that he (Okorocha) was a failure in his ambition to become the presidential candidate of the party.

Obasanjo said, “I met him not long ago by virtue of the fact that he was brought up in Jos which is one of the few cities that I found in the 50s and 70s as a genuine melting pot in Nigeria; he probably would not have been able to achieve what he has achieved. He is a true Nigerian. And when he wants to pull me down, he will say we are colleagues. How can I be a colleague of a failure? [size=18pt]You are a failure in contesting for the presidency of Nigeria!”[/size]

The ex-BoT chairman advised Okorocha to have a re-think and return to PDP.

“Your speech gladdens my heart in a particular way, but we know why you have to take a detour. Now you have taken the detour, it is time to come back home and your speech is an indication that you are returning,” Obasanjo advised Okorocha.

At the ceremony which had in attendance President Goodluck Jonathan, represented by his vice, Alhaji Namadi Sambo, the Speaker, House of Representatives, Alhaji Aminu Tambuwal, represented by his deputy, Emeka Ihedioha, the national chairman, PDP, Alhaji Bamanga Tukur, Governors Emmanuel Uduaghan, Godswill Akpabio and Rotimi Amaechi who was represented by his deputy, Tele Ikueru, ex-Ghanaian president, John Kuffour, the Owa Obokun of Ijesaland, Oba Adekunle Aromolaran, among others.

But Akpabio in the defence of Obasanjo based on Okorocha’s comment said he was sure that all the good things the ex-president did was not based on Okorocha’s advice.

Akpabio said, “I was not as lucky as Governor Okorocha to work with him (Obasanjo). So I did not give him the piece of advice. But one thing I do know judging from the way Baba behaved, I’m very sure that even the few things that he did were actually taken out of the bad pieces of advice of APGA that Rochas Okorocha represented.

“Baba, I say the good ones are from you, not from him. Baba is an astute politician, he’s one of the most intelligent Nigerians; he’s somebody who believes in democracy. When he was military head of state, he did not waste time in handing over power in 1979. This is the same man that Nigeria called out of prison and honoured with the Presidency of Nigeria. Baba is a cat with nine lives.

“Obasanjo cannot leave PDP. PDP is a winner. Your legacies will be emulated by the younger generation.”

Akpabio likened Obasanjo to the Biblical David who prayed that God should prepare his food in the presence of his enemies.

Sambo, in his remarks, at the ceremony described OBJ as a true elder statesman, saying his significant contributions to the socio-political and economic development of the country could not be over-emphasised.

He added that the current administration would continue to build on the foundations he laid.

Meanwhile, touts had a free day at the reception as they stole mobile phones and other valuables of some guests.

Among the victims were former governor of Ekiti State, Mr. Ayodele Fayose, the publicity secretary, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Lagos State chapter, Mr. Taofeek Ganiyu, the publisher of News Direct Newspaper, Mr. Samuel Ibiyemi and the Ogun State correspondent, Nigerian Compass, Kunle Olayeni.

Despite the heavy presence of security officials, the miscreants had a field day, as no arrest was made to the best of the knowledge of Sunday Tribune.

Fayose felt dejected by the action of the miscreants while Ganiyu was unhappy with the development.

Meanwhile, the embattled national secretary of PDP, Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola, stole the show when he stormed the venue of the ceremony in company with former governor of Ondo State, Dr. Olusegun Agagu. The shout of “Oyin ni o” rent the air, as he (Oyinlola) and Agagu danced to the music of Evangelist Ebenezer Obey with the admiration of the crowd.

Why is noone talking about this post?

The paid critics are back at work. Of course they must discredit the President on all actions he takes. They must work to earn their pay.

Kamanda:

That is the Problem.

Our President just cashed in on this OP to score cheap points.
For all the Kangaroos Jumping to the gallery watch out.

Our Presido if he truly cares should have sacked somebody on the Spot.
The Head of the Colledge,the Police Service Commission,Ministry of Police Affairs,IGP.
I don't expect jonathan to know about the state of the College neither do I hold him responsible for the state of the school but he has seen it for himself.Will he take action and do the needful?........Well,you all know your President..........committee....

Your blood is just hot for nothing, take it easy. So because he hasnt sacked anyone now means what? That he doesnt care?

Kamanda:

Bros You Got it.Na arrangee between Jona Media Team and dem partner/Consultant-Chammelstv.

John Momoh don Hammer again.

Watch out for how FG officials and Jona go deh show GoodGuys levels in the coming days,especially for that coming Channels event.

You are so obsessed with your bring him down attitude. What wrong has he done this time around? A report came out and he went to physically see it, your blood pressure rose to high heavens, you dont know what to say but to blame it on the media, especially Channels TV. Be objective sometimes. What wrong has this man done this time around?

You stumbled on the estate "early this year" yet it has taken you "months" to investigate. LOL. This year never even reach one month. LOL.

Josh316: I saw the Barricades last sunday on my way to the airport and the logical conclusion that came to mind was DEBT... Its likely the FG is owing them for the construction of the road and they have decided to transfer the inconvenience to the public in order to force the FG or whoever is paying to speed up payment, else there is no need to block the road, a road which has already been marked with road markings and signs in those portions blocked. The drainage points are all covered too! Let JB tell the world what the real issue is and stop causing untold hardship already! I'm happy mobs removed some of the barricades, cos it speaks volumes of how much Nigerians can react if pushed to the walls too much

Na wao. This your analysis get as he be o. Hmmm. Debt, yet they are still working on the road.

heed101: The Malu president is feigning ignorance. Hadn't it been Channels is organising forum on the moribund state of the college, he wouldn't have pay a yeye(surprise visit). What a President Nigeria has.

You are one of those who talk without using their brains. So he should have visited the college like he goes there to see his son, or what would have taken him there before? You are just too sick to make a sensible posting.

pepperminty12: Ok u guyz are rejoicing ova nuffin cos I don comot 10 of myslf nd its back 2 999 990!hehehehehehehe

How is that possible? How can you remove your own id?

1 million, nice, maybe more, counting the guests that come to NairaLand daily, but then, what have these 1million people contributed to Nigeria?
