Don't worry nobody will insult you. We understand its a mental problem you are struggling with.
For me I would just advice you hurry up and take your meds, before the manic disorder degenerates further.

It's a crime for Oshiomole to decorate a table for IBB. I beleive power intoxicates; what on earth should make a critic like Oshiomole act stupid? Oshiomole should be forced to visit a psychiatric home for brain check up.

Whether you like it or not I think the one man , one-vote rally was held in good faith to sensitize people on the need to forgo election rigging. People need to be sensitized. I wouldn't want Oshimohole to smear his name with IBB . How would it be? IBB President and Oshiomhole his Vice? I think it wouldn't work. Oshiomhole is too volatile to be a YES man to IBB.

Another conspiracy theory gone sour.

So were Kenyamo & other PDP govs there to declare for IBB as well ?  undecided

Goodluck Jonathan & David Mark were equally invited ,so what is AC's stress? The rally was about one-man ,one-vote. . .the more high profile people there ,the more attention the event would receive.

IMO,Kenyamo did what everyone else should have done -use the opportunity to embarass the 'evil genius'.

[size=18pt]Oshiomole will always be a hero of the masses. People know this & will always remember,lets not fall for cheap blackmail. . . . the man's antecedents definitely precedes him.[/size]

Sorry to disappoint you, but Oshiomole might not be the man you think he is.
If he really is a man of the people why did he fight vehemently to prevent Jonathan form being declared as acting president.

Supply proof. Right now its just hearsay. . . . To assume one minority gov from a minority party would/can influence who becomes president of Nigeria may be stretching the imagination.

Let's not all jump into conclusions. I'm certainly no supporter of his but all Oshiomhole did was provide a platform for everyone to speak their mind. How can it be an IBB praise singing event when Festus Keyamo completely rubbished him. When the crowd was significantly anti-IBB. When Goodluck Jonathan was there speaking against undemocratic forces. What the AC people should have done is state their case to the masses and explain why we should not vote IBB rather than taking the lazy way out.

This is the problem with Nigerians. . . ,  . . . . .perennial cynics. angry

No one wants to put their neck on the line, but complain they can .

Call a demonstration to protest the situation in the country,they'll excuse themselves. 

Oshiomole has put his neck on the line  in the past ,when he could have conveniently stayed away. He should be prayed for and supported . . not crass cynicism from people who have absolutely nothing to offer.

When I first saw the thread on NL I was totally disappointed in Oshiomole. but when my Landlady told me that it was not organised for IBB, then I saw the ineptitude of NL moderators in misinforming us. you guys have just made Oshiomole a black sheep whereas all he did was create a situation wherein high profile Nigerians could say their minds out in the face of tyranny. To me IBB was even more courageous to face his enemies than Soyinka and Tinubu and Co that avoided the opportunity which was gracefully maximised by the vibrant Keyamo.
whats wrong in an intellectual encounter with your supposedly arch enemy.which better platform do you need, one organised by PDP or IBB himself?
Moderators try not to paint wrong pictures with your headings its like yellow journalism to me.
thank God for keyamo and the regular masses @ the occasion that showed 'the evil genius' what we really feel about his ludicrous ambition. Babangida,Oloshi ara e, ti ko fe she anfani fun odomode Nigeria.
Alas I would be appalled to the marrow if on the long run Adam Aliu Oshiomole does a stupid thing as to run with IBB(A fallacious idea nonetheless).
But maybe the abscondees were misinformed about the event or they misinterpreted the occasion or possibly they were just point blank lily-livered.
I wish I could really really tell.
Re: Soyinka And Tinubu Shun Oshiomhole's One-Man-One-Vote Rally In Benin City! by Baro(m): 11:35pm On Apr 30, 2010
That rally was not for IBB, it was put together to commemorate Oshiomhole's victory at the Tribunal and  to popularize his "One man, One vote" campaign. IBB only showed up to test his level of acceptance in such a civil gathering, and also to feather is new found democratic nest. The only blame due Oshiomhole, is that i suspect he never told Soyinka, Tinubu and co, that Maradona would be on the same Sam Ogbemudia Stadium pitch too. And so it must have been a rude shock, when the news came to them a few hours before kick off.  As they were probably ill-prepared to provide tackles that would/could scuttle the General's deft moves on the field of play, and so they shuddered and scampered for safety.

    All the Ac Leaders that left the rally are all cowards, including Soyinka. They just lost a good oportunity to put an end to the presidential ambition of the 'Evil Genius'. Very funny they all ran just because of one man. Same man they continually castigate for not honouring an invitation to Oputa Panel, inter alia. Now they have him to devour on a platter of gold and they chickened out.

    Tomorrow, they will start boasting and saying what they can't do on the pages of newspapers. If anyone should feel uncomfortable and suffocated in such a gathering to the extent of taking to his heels, it should have been the Ex-dictator, and not our so called democrats. Please, the title should read " 'DEMOCRATS' SCAMPER AT THE SIGHT OF IBB " . . . . . Kudos to the likes of Keyamo, and Odumakin, who stayed back to give the General a piece of their mind. How i miss Gani . . . .

oshiomole,am not surprise with dis.with all what you did to the workers of your state when you resume office since then did i known you are an evil genus just like your master ibb.out of your genus do you contest for labour party chairman so as to gain the heart of the people.you then contest for the governol of your state and after knowing the laws that guide workers you use them as slave and treat them in a way you once discourage when in power

@Baro

Pity, if you were really taken by the opinion that it was not for IBB or may be you are trying to pool wool over our eyes. IBB doesn't just show up for stuff, it was for him period - great that Prof. Soyinka had good memories. Can't say that for my other fellow citizens.

Oshimole is going down the drain and the vortex is about to go gulp. They say if you make a deal with the devil he will bless you with great things, but his price is high or is it, if you eat with the devil use a long spoon.

In any case, IBB is trolling the Nigerian landscape to collect on the "free" favors he's being granting since 1993 - thats a lot of favors, enough to get him to Aso Rock. We need to stop him quick!

All of you learned historians and Good people and even those of you that write gallantly on mis-information and mis-conceived opinions, will come back to eat your vomit. Oshoms is a better politicians than Soyinka, Tinibu and co who could not face their worse fears and defeat it. I give Kudos to all of them that appeared at that Great Occasion cos it is not easy to be in the same venue with your enemy.

"Draw your friends close but your Enemies Closer" is one of the 48 Laws of Power.
Don't ever try to outsmart your boss, else you will be fired.
IBB came to that venue "Invited or Uninvited" to test his popularity and the result showed for himself.

All of you ridiculing Edo people and the state, Did you see any poster or billboard resemblance of IBB in the State and around the Venue for the Event? Don't just seat on your laptop and write what you have no idea about.

This forum should be used to proffer solutions to the problem of Nigeria. All of you posting, what have you done for your people, village and  how are you helping others in your little ways.

Please give constructive criticism.

Re: Soyinka And Tinubu Shun Oshiomhole's One-Man-One-Vote Rally In Benin City! by bong4(m): 8:28am On May 01, 2010
Nigerians do not understand political mathematics ((late Chuba Okadigbo). With these words, i wonder why the so called opposition leaders like Soyinka and co had to boycott the meeting and throw away the chance of a life time to tell IBB in the presence of other Nigerians that he has no stake in nigeria politics any longer. keyamo stayed back and did that while the rest cowered and left. Was Soyinka given a speech to make. Was he not entitled to deliver his mind? Evil strives when good men keep quiet. God may be using Adams Oshiomole to drive home the message of no more IBB in Nigeria politics. Pls do not castigate him yet.
Re: Soyinka And Tinubu Shun Oshiomhole's One-Man-One-Vote Rally In Benin City! by illusion2: 9:19am On May 01, 2010
