alj harem: why not Rocahas ? Why must he be anambran always ?

Ngige is a fire brand this is why we want him.

peckhamboi: I think Buhari/Fashola or Buhari/Oshiomole remains the most reasonable choice if APC wants to win in 2015 given

that Ohanaeze and other Igbo leaders have already endorsed Jonathan for 2015 and I don't see how Ngige who won his

senatorial election by only 210 votes can deliver the whole South East region for the APC. It's not a risk worth taking.

Obasanjo did not win in 1999 because he got votes from SW, he won because Nigerians voted for him or whatever. Ngige will win because the same history will repeat itself.

ajadek: She wass reverse to rich mariage man not poor mariage man like me,Bleep any woman that come my way after I have make my money,Bleep any woman that's not part of my strugle now

Correct guy orie foka sibe, you are not the likes of money miss road disaster looking for somewhere to happen, married men who robbed Peter to pay Paul. They rode on the back of surulere to success but are now moving around aimlessly in love/lust with olorunshogo.
Dem no they last, bleep Lola and her crew, bleep their customers (married men) ti aja ba fori ko imi, a mo ile olowo e, when they are thoroughly dealt with, they will go crawlling back to their shit hole where their till death do us part wifey is humbly waiting for them. Of course she will start all over with him again, after all she went into the agreement willingly, and so the vicious cycle goes on, little money comes in and the man is already banging another olorushogo.
God is not mocked he will reward everyone according to the works of their hands.

bakkielibra001: who told you, all the money from A.c.n control state goes to tinubu. We don't appreciate our thing until we lose it and so we starting make stupid reference to it during. torment. You look around the world, do you know a politician,who doesn't own business of it own. You all want PDP government to use our Resources to develop the country . The opposition agitating must be financial strong to get us our right. We all know how money is been play in our politics. Opposition must be strong but mentally and financially to wrestle power with the govt in place. Tinubu by many is not idea, just prove your point on a trend and let us share not someone is love or hate. I am not an advocate of bad but tinubu is just writing his name for all to see. If he leaves tomorrow we all remember he fought for jobs creations and development without measures in south west and ,igeria as a country. My question is can you look in the face of the powerful if you are in Tinubu shoes the way you call him. Thank you.

Preach from now till rapture, some people will not understand. I'm still searching for a fearless opposition leader in this country and the only one i see is BAT, Nigeria would have become a one party state if not for the likes of BAT and Orji, in one party state, ordinary citizens surfer.
Where is Orji today in Nigerian politics, peedeepee's negative propaganda have buried him.
Tinubu survived because his followers shared his visions, peedeepee should give me hope, better ideas, they should show me what they can do, see is believing.
If however they cannot put anything on the table for people around here to see, in terms of achievements, they should continue to pay their propaganda goons to slander BAT and ACN, they should pump more money into their rigging machinery in the south west, 2015 is already here, they will see that people here are too evolved for peedeepee rubbish.

E don tey wey yansh dey back, no be today.
Yoruba people say if woman too stay long for her husband house, if she no die, she go become a winch.
Imagine this old hag, only God knows what she might have done to her husband before letting loose her evil spirit on her son and the poor daughter in law.
Ladies marriage is good but don't let it be your number one priority in life, if you make such a mistake and you don't know when to run for your dear life despite the obvious hand writing on the wall, you just might end up like this woman.
Our culture is such an unhealthy one that makes a woman an endangered specie, when you make a decision to quit a life threatening marriage, people will call you all sort of names, but remember, only the living celebrates.

Lola Alao, no wonder she preaches immorality, by their fruits, we shall know them.https://www.nairaland.com/333766/lola-alao-woman-never-pray

Akiika: There you go wearing your judging pants!
Most of you do this one-man-one-wife hypocrisy...yet most of you go out there to cheat on your husbands and wives repeatedly.
The rate of adultery in Nigeria is alarming. Men even boast of it shamelessly. Girls are transported like cows to parties to sleep with the so-called married men for peanuts. 'Aristo' work wouldn't thrive if married men don't patronise them.
Abeg, do what works for you and go by your religious doctrine.
If you are a muslim that your religion permits it, and as long as your suitor satisfy the requirements, marry a married man if you can cope with sharing a man. If you are a Xtian that your religion forbids it, then don't do it and don't engage in adultery too.
On my last trip to Nigeria, some of my friend's idea of tripping me was to assign a girl to me to take care of me for peanut, i looked abnormal to them when i declined. My wife is most awesome woman in the world and i'm happy with her in all departments, i don't need some 'i neva chop', dirty, chicken-legged girl to make me happy.

I congratulate you my brother, this is the madness we are living with in this country. Go to the abortion clinics and the orphanages and you will understand what I'm talking about. Most of our supposed single ladies are empty carcasses, because their youths had been wasted chasing shadows, from the age of 33 upwards they become desperate to get married so they became a born again christian, an unsuspecting brother in Christ who had also given his life to Christ after destroying so many life becomes an easy prey, they will eventually get married and begins to run desperately around looking for the fruit of the womb, some will succeed and others will fail and remained childless for the rest of their lives.
When ever i come across a childless couple that are supposed to be happily married, the question that comes to my mind is, how is it possible for ladies committing fornication and adultery, to get pregnant outside wedlock and it immediately becomes a battle to have a child when they get married?.
OUR YOUTHS HAVE BEEN UNCONSCIOUSLY DANCING AT THE GATES OF PAIN, MISERY, SHAME, FRUSTRATION AND FAILURE, THE GATES OF DEATH.
My summation, could this be punishment from God, may the good lord have have mercy on our people.

A true leader is the one that is light years ahead of his or her contemporaries in THINKING/VISION, SMARTNESS, PRECISION and RUTHLESSNESS in their pursuance of whatever vision they have for the people they lead. I am talking about the likes of Mao tse Tung, Stalin, Jerry Rawlings and you better believe it Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
After the demise of Bola Ige, the Yoruba nation lost focus and it took the likes of Tinubu to get it back, THIS TO ME IS A REVOLUTION. Stop comparing BAT with OBJ they are not the same, there is big difference between a man loved by his people and a man that means nothing to his people.

Boyoorisha: My friend has HND lower credit in accounting from Ibadan Poly, but he earns 14 million naira per annum! We have bunch of 1st class uni grads walking aimlessly daily on the street of Lagos searching for job.

Let them continue to deceive themselves, the employers knows whats good for their business, degree or no degree.I and my husband studied marketing at the Kwara state polytechnic after fruitless search for admission to study law in the university, i was given an admission to study sociology and i said NO.
My friends that were able to make it to the university to study funny courses like zoology, anthropology, history and all were busy jeering and laughing at me, the beauty of it all is that i discovered that this school is what i actually needed, i also believe that i could be very rich if i put what I'm being thought in this school to use.
Most of us in the set of 1996 are having it good and living large today, once in a while we gather ourselves together to felicitate and say a big THANK YOU TO ILLIA DE KWATECO.
It is not about the degree it is about being optimistic of your opportunities, self determination and hard work.

Let them cry, in fact they should cry me a river, someone please help these women out with a bucket, e sunkun si koroba, a fe fi we in fact a fe fi shanra.
You lots have refused to stay on the side of the people, you have now become irrelevant, una don expire, you are hereby confined to the dustbin of history.
All of una and una cronnies wey enjoy federal government largesse during ebora owu tenure, wetin una bring come for our people?.
E no go better for una, useless lots.

AnanseK: They have no social demeanor. Although they show aggressiveness and advancement in now in 21st century, the Igbo are anthropologically at food gatherer stage of evolution. It's just them and nobody else , and they have no shame.

Absolute total rubbish, Igbos are only blowing their trumpeths, if they don't blow it will you blow it for them?.
Leave the igbos alone, Do your thing, mind your own bussiness.
Take it or leave, the IGBOS HAVE GONE THROUGH THE SCHOOL OF HARD KNOCKS IN THIS COUNTRY AND HAVE NOT ONLY MANAGED TO SURVIVE, THEY HAVE MASTERED THE SITUATION.
I'm shocked and appalled at the way people reason in this country. Igbos are mostly in private business, the few ones in federal service are being promoted and some people are screaming blue murder, are Igbos no longer Nigerians?. I know most of you here will shout BIAFRA MASSOB, until the Igbos are given their own country, THEY REMAINED CITIZENS OF THIS COUNTRY AND ARE ENTITLED TO THE ATTACHED BENEFITS.
Any Yoruba person taking sides with Hausas on a sensitive issues like the one we are discussing should be ashamed of themselves. Forget about the Igbos and the way they talk, they are a very good people and hard working too. The Igbos are closer to us than the Hausas, they are also straight forward than the mischievous Hausas, they are probably living in the same compound with us. igbos are this, Igbos are that, are we clean or are we better than them?. God created us differently, we should learn to appreciate others for what they are.
WE HAVE FAILED THEM BEFORE, WE CANNOT AFFORD TO FAIL THEM AGAIN, SO DAA K'ADIYE FUNFUN O MA MO RARE L'AGBA, YORUBA E RONU.

kettykings: What really has a so called Majority tribe of 35 million Invalids done for Nigeria apart from Riots , invading other people's farm lands all over the country , raping newly wed brides in the south west , rigging census figures , stealing pension funds , Stealing oil wells belonging to Minorities , Stealing Minority lands in Jos , ransacking the villages of Minorities in Nassarawa, Southern Kaduna and Benue

Why are you being diplomatic in your appraisal of mai suya, they are like an anchor that have refused to allow our ship sail, a bag of trash that needs to be disposed ASAP.
A country that was supposed to be rubbing shoulders with the likes of America and Japan, struggling to catch up with the likes of Ghana and south Africa.
It shall not be well with them, worthless folks.

Mai suya is always looking for a cheap meat to make kebab,Igbos wake up.
Wait a minute i thought Gumi was dead ?, which Gumi is this one?.
The Gumi that i used to know is someone in the mold of late Ayatollah of Iran, an islamic fundamentalist, a manipulator and a freaking hypnotist. This man is dangerous than Buhari, boko haram, opc and mend joined together.
This man and his cohorts are the powers behind the oppressive military regimes of Abacha and IBB, the funny part of it all is that, this man looks soft and admirable yet he has the will and mind of the devil.
So IGBOS WAKE UP, YORUBA WAKE UP, NIGERIANS WAKE UP. Mai suya is a sheep who only follow the leader, whom they believe knows better and will always be right.

@ OP, oh lest i forget, since you know how badly Fashola has performed, you might as well fill us in on how brilliantly GEJ has performed. ISI EWU.

@OP the fact that you can't see something doesn't mean it isn't there.
Something tells me that the OP is blind, those who are not blind should please explain what they saw in Lagos to him.

rhymz: As far as opposition is concerned, the only edge the ACN has is its size but when it comes to substance, they are realy not any different from their enemy, the PDP.

I will continue to ask this question; why is it that the only thing one hears from Nigerian opposition parties is PDP and how to remove PDP. They are so obsessed with what PDP does that they forget to tell us what they can do through good examples. Seriously, opposition is not ready in this country, instead doing the real work of opposition they obsessed themselves with finding faults uneccessarily while overlooking the shenanigans in their own party.
ACN is a logical choice no doubt but the party needs some serious reforms even more than the PDP, if they truly want to be taken seriously by other political parties outside of the SW. It can't continue to be Tinubu enterprises or an extension of Afenifere. If it must oppose, it must be genuine opposition devoid of pettiness and a fault-finding mission. People like Utomi should be given a much bigger role to play in the reformation of the party if realy they want to make changes. All that Tinubu tiwa tiwa politics should be sholved aside, they can do that in Afenifere when Yoruba leaders meet but as a political party they must go beyond revolving everything around one man. Tinubu is a liability the ACN has to put in the background and not forward for negotiations and talks of coalitions. Well done Mr Utomi but if ACN continues to operate as presently formed, it wont be any different from the previous elections.

Start our own political party and lets see if you will allow yourself to be relegated to the background, Tinubu this, Tinubu that, give me a better opposition leader and I'll dump Tinubu.

rileest: Interesting how lots of people read different history online and just claim one is superior than the other.. The ooni will always tell the stories in his favor while the Alaafin will always do the same hence the different accounts and counter accounts we're having.. I'm fortunate enough to come from Ife area and heard the histories orally from elders. Does anyone even have an Idea that Ooni is not the real king of Ife but "Obalufe" Anyone can check the history on this. The Ooni was the son of a slave and never a direct descendant of Oduduwa

don't waste your time explaining anything here it is a complicated issue, ife was a shrine to the 401 yoruba gods and the oni is suppose to be shrine keeper, unfortunately yorubas have a wrong person in the person of the present ooni in the shrine, a man that was suppose to be a custodian of history shamelessly distorting the facts, ooni should please explain to us why Afonja refuse to attack Ile ife, he may have a better version of the history because what history told us was that Afonja refused to attack ife because this place is yorubas spiritual head quater.
Ooni is a shrine keeper, an ordinary ABORE, if Olugbon, Aresa and Olukoyi of today who are the direct decendants and Oyomesi of yester years are not challenging the autority of alaafin who the hell is ooni. I honestly think that the spirit of afonja has possesed the ooni, the yorubas needs to shut this man up before he begins to adress himself as dan maraya kano, this man knows next to nothing about himself.

afam4eva: I never knew that you could speak on behalf of all Yorubas in Lagos. I guess the Seguns and Adewoles i see complaining alongside Emeka, Udeme and Auwal are not Yorubas because they don't share your view. I wonder whose culture culture Okada is part of. Igbo or Hausa? Dude, your positions are not well thought out.

I'll continue to repeat that i hate okadas. I'm just highlighting the fact that these are some people source of livelihood and so an alternative should be provided. I heard Fashola is doing something about it but i think it's a case of putting the cart before the horse. But it's all good. It's better late than never.

Fashola should not provide alternative jobs for the okada men, they should change their business or relocate to another state.

Geomac: ACN my foot! I think you are joking, right. He has every right to question whoever that is in the government regardless of the political party. what is progressive about ACN in the SW? ACN is not different from PDP. Here in the North, a few of our governors are performing more than the so called progressive ACN governors.

Bros take it easy, the same north where security of lives and property cannot be guaranteed?.

PDP will not win any state in southwest come 2015, people in south west knows their friends and enemies, the devil we know is better than an angel that's just passing.
Have people ever ponder as to why PDP lost woefully in southwest in the last election?.
People are no longer interested in promises, they are more interested in what is on ground, seeing is believing.
ACN WILL TEACH PDP SOME HARD POLITICAL LESSONS COME 2015,DON'T ASK ME HOW.
People around here don't see PDP as a political party, people see them as A DISASTER THAT MUST BE AVOIDED.

It is called squandering of riches, this is how Nigeria arrived at the present predicament.

tunde1200: Good for china,
but the question is what are we in nigeria developing in to.

Unfortunately, Nigeria may not develop into anything until we learn to steal technologies like the Chinese and to do this Nigeria as whole may need a brain transplant. .

The Lagos state government is not responsible for all the highlighted, so the lawyer should take his complains to the federal government at Abuja, he should ask for a guy call Goodluck, if he ever made it to aso rock.

Fashola shouldn't have deport them like that, he should have gather them at rehabs and identify them by their states of origin.
After which he will call the attention of their state governors so that these people can be reunited with their relatives.
Other states governors should also sit up and face their responsibilities, there are no more free lunch in Lagos, it is now every man for himself God for all of us.

So brother, shout from now till kingdom come, as it was in the beginning, so shall it be in the end.

Why the hue and cry?. Jonathan and his cronies have not done anything unusual.
I seriously hope that Nigerians are now happy with their choice of president.
SNAKE NO DEY BORN ANYTHING WEY NO LONG. When next you are voting in another president, vote in only people that are tested and trusted.

aribisala0 fact: "Given the reources" Lagos state has a budget of about 3 billion dollars. Compared to about 70 for New York City. The difference is Lagos is trying to build infrastructure whilst NY is more or less built. Lagos like most states will struggle to invest HALF its budget on capital investment while trying to invest in human development

In order to judge anyone(governor) you must know their resources.
I think Lagos has a clear vision of where it is going and has "plans" to issue resident cards which is part of a wider agenda of human development. There is a problem people forget conveniently.Lagos receives the greatest internal migration in Nigeria and its rate of population growth is just stupendous. The okada controversy illustrates this quite well. At some point Lagos will have to start either turning people back or simply refuse to provide for them

Still ACN is a problem and we cannot pretend they re messiahs; there is considerable corruption in Lagos state at state and local government levels . I always support the good things the state government does but people like Bawwy and his other aliases take praise singing to another level.Fact is Lagos state is quite poor compared to Akwa Ibom or Rivers when you consider population but they should stop siphoning our money to fund ACN. I do not believe that is justifiable any longer
Bottomline Fshola is A Nigerian not a saint but I believe he is working with a budget of about $300 or less per person each year about half of Akwa Ibom

people should pleeeeeeaaaase relocate to Akwa Ibom and PH.

@sienna, i congratulate you for being one of the few informed Nigerians.
There is nothing wrong in having a dream, but Nigerians need to understand that dream dies first, the only way we as a country can actualize our dreams is to simply wake up.
White people will come to commend us for taking so many wrong steps, this is the only way they can keep us under control.
These are highly classified information, during the era of cold war, so many Chinese super brains were wasted in American universities, simply because the American government want to prevent the transfer of knowledge to China.
The Chinese government had the will power, new set of people were sent out to the same America with a different strategy, so most of these new set didn't even wait for their results, as soon as they finish their programs, they board the next available flights to china.
This was how the Chinese got to where they are today, no country will give Nigeria any technology, branding is not manufacturing so we as a country should start thinking and our government should sit up.

@AK47man, did you read my first contribution to the topic?.
I had already commend innoson for his effort, Nigeria is in sorry state today because people don't want to face the reality.
Did you know that if the Ajaokuta steel rolling mill is functioning, the Nigerian government will have used this to lure so many auto manufacturers and other high profile manufacturing business into this country.
Did you also know that if we have a single auto manufacturing plant in this country, naira may not be in the mess its in today, did you know the impact of Daewoo auto plant on the economy of south Korea.
Did you also know that we can't even manufacture an ordinary bicycle in this country not to talk of vehicles.
The Nigerian economic development failed because Ajaokuta steel rolling project was sabotaged by the world economic powers, while our government are their accomplice because they don't want to face the reality just like you.
And please learn to argue constructively, people don't get paid for being daft, they get paid for being smart.
