In Hausa i know it as 'Tozali' or something like that. Its a black powder used on eye lashes.

Like it has been suggested the op can try pulling off the cap that will come out with a long tip for applying to the eyes. Its no longer vogue with the lots of things that have taken over.

It is used on little babies with the believe that it clears their eyes.

This begs for more questions:
1. Was he walking consistently for 12 hours each day?
2. Where was he resting each night?
3. How did he handle those areas that have no inhabitants?
4. Was he wearing the same sweatshirt? How come it was not dirty?
5. How come he was looking so fresh when he hit Abuja?

I believe it's possible but the time frame and some other things do not just add up!

1. My assumption. Besides he spent 2 days in Suleja, so he definitely sleeps somewhere.
2. Remember that he mentioned he has used 5 pairs of shoes all which are bought for him in the towns he got to by people who wanted to contribute to his success, i believe a hotel or a private residence wont be a hard thing.
3. Am not sure there is any stretch of road in Nigeria where you can walk up to 12 hrs without getting to a town or at least a cluster of homes. The desert parts of Nigeria maybe but he didnt pass there.
4. Have you heard of wash and wear before?
5. He rested 2 whole days in Suleja and with adequate hospitality. Remember APC in Niger state dropped their contact number and he was said to have met Etsu Nupe in Bida and another Chief in Suleja.

I believe the time frame was even too long, he would have been faster if he didn't take a lot of time resting in several places.

I dont think he followed the route shown on the map by OP. He passed through Suleja so he definitely didnt pass through Lokoja but came through Minna and probably Kwara.

The most probable route is Lagos - Ibadan - Ogbomosho - Ilorin - Jebba - Mokwa - Bida - Madalla - Abuja which is 737km by car at 75km/hr average.

Assuming a human walks 5km/hr, it will take 147.4 hours. Of course a human cant walk all that hours without stopping or resting. Assuming he rested at night and walked 6am to 6pm which is 12 hours, he will take at least 12.3 days to get to Abuja. I heard he spent 2 days in Suleja due to blisters on his feet. A friend told me he personally saw him approaching Suleja on Saturday. So he probably traveled about 15days including the two days he rested in Suleja minus calculative errors due to his walking speed, route start/stop times and days he may have rested in other places.

I saw the massive crowd following him on Kubwa express. People hurriedly park cars to go give him some rosy welcome.

Better he than GEJ

I dont regret not supporting GMB too... I wish him a suCCessful tenure though and not to forget the promises he made to Nigerians who has high expeCtations from him.

Ohanaeze should hire you as their spokes person.

ducii:
Awka—OHANAEZE Ndigbo, the apex Igbo socio-cultural organisation, said yesterday, that it had no regrets not supporting the ambition of the All Progressives Congress, APC, presidential candidate, General Muhammadu Buhari, who won the March 28, 2015 presidential poll.
Ohanaeze also flayed the Oba of Lagos, Rilwan Akiolu, over the death threat he allegedly issued to Igbo people residing in Lagos before the governorship election.

Speaking in an interview in Awka, the national treasurer of the group, Chief Damian Ogene, said the apex Igbo socio-cultural organisation supported President Goodluck Jonathan because of what he described as Buhari’s negative antecedents to Ndigbo.

According to him, the rejection of Buhari during the presidential poll is to remind him of the injustices perpetrated against Igbo during his earlier tenure as military Head of State.

He, however, said that since God had given Buhari an opportunity to be a democratic President of Nigeria, he should strive to right his earlier wrongs.
Ogene said: “We are ready to co-operate with him and to believe in his administration in the hope that he will, this time, address the injustices meted out to us since after the Nigerian civil war.”

He also advised the President-elect to deal only with the core people in Igbo land, rather than with the money-bags that were out of touch with Igbo nation and the masses.

“These billionaires have been using their oil money to block government from reaching the people at the grassroots level.

“He should liaise with people-oriented organisations like Anambra Association of Town Unions, ASATU, rather than with intermediaries,” he said.

He suggested to General Buhari to ensure that Igbo people, who were displaced in the northern part of the country due to the Boko Haram insurgency, received compensation as their northern counterparts, in the spirit of equity and justice.

This is shameful.

After you disown your father you tell him how he is going to share the inheritance! These people cant humble themselves to respect the choice majority of Nigerians made?

whyteone:
Did you say WE?The CHANGE of guards at the presidency was the result of a vicious and malicious gang-up of a powerful cabal against a sitting president.The masses(WE) had very little to do here.We were only used as a means to that end.Any one doubting this assertion should try and CHANGE this president without the CABAL.

I am ashamed that a Nigerian will talk this way. I ask you this simple question. Did you vote on the March 28th or not? If you didn't, i did. I voted for Buhari, other Nigerians did and he had the highest votes to win. I voted, Nigerians voted , it was not a cabal that voted. If thats what obviously happens in the SS and SE thats not what happened in my state or most parts of the north. 15.4million Nigerians against 12.8million voted GEJ out and you still cannot bring yourself out to believe it happened, thats why you are blaming a CABAL that is a mirage.

theorbiters:
For quite a while I've been feeling sorry for Nigerians who think that the APC led govt. is a govt. for the people. Nigerians believe that democracy is on a rise in this country, but ye are all wrong... You all fail to notice that APC is trying hard to consolidate their position as the only party in this country.. They are trying to make Nigeria their own property. If not so, why are they trying to raise dust on states where they lost the elections? Or is it only PDP that rigged the elections? When PDP was in power, everyone complained, Jonathan conceded, people called him a weakling, now APC is doing everything to make sure they win in every major hold if not everywhere in this nation, and Nigerians think it is all about change... Nigerians has sold a diamond, just to acquire a shinning stone and they are happy... Time would tell..

I have frantically tried to make sense of your post but couldn't. How or what is wrong in APC consolidating, PDP did same. Note the bolded part. PDP tried to make it that way but later failed due to an implosion within it. APC is a party that won this recent elections, what do you expect, they should plan to lose every other election because they have won the presidential elections. Capturing states and House of assemblies is no longer important for APC because they won presidential abi? How can you say they are trying to make Nigeria their own country? Are you expecting them to celebrate SE and SS that didnt vote for them? Is it APC's fault that there is no single SE APC returning Senator or HOR member that could be appointed Senate President or Speaker HOR? What is it that APC is doing now that PDP has not done before. The appointment rule of the national assembly was created by PDP and its now working against the SE.

Hear you "now APC is doing everything to make sure they win in every major hold if not everywhere in this nation". So you dont want APC to win any other election or campaign to win, infact they should deregister the party to make you happy, abi?

Your entire post sounds like that of a bitter loser. Bad belle they call it in Pidgin English.

Franzeez:
How does this stop the Kunu drunk from being a retardedd general

My last comment.

I am not sure you are of sound mind, so i will drop this.

Franzeez:
How does it stop the Retardedd general from being a kunu drunk

Hear urself. Can a General be retardd? When you say such things we know who is retardd between you 2.

Franzeez:
Story for d gods! Simple as ABC I don't care all this trash you wrote. All I have to say is the old fool would be called A kunu drinker and a retardedd general. Go and die if you wish.

My former comment still stands.

Franzeez:
My suggestions are

Retardedd General
Kunu drunk
Old fool



Feel free to add your in preparation for bashing any of his failures.

Also anyone good in editing pix should start

First of all, names like you proposed don't stick when one is actually not what the name implies. No matter how you push those names forward it wont stick. If someone is a genius no matter how you call him a fool, it wont mean a thing and the name will never stick.

Remember that Jon_daft didn't just come out of the blue, Jonathan had to actually act daft for the name to stick. When Jonathan who was supposed to be the peoples president admitted that there was a cabal in the petroleum subsidy scheme, instead of arresting the cabal he stopped government from paying subsidy. Does that disband the cabal? NO. Who will now pay the cabal? Nigerians. Was Jonathan daft to have done opposite what Nigerians voted him for? Yes. So the name Jo_adaft stuck on him.

CLUELESS: By Jonathan's comment that “Over 70 percent of what are called corruption, even by EFCC (Economic and Financial Crimes Commission) and other anti-corruption agencies is not corruption, but common stealing. Corruption is perception, not reality,”. The name Clueless stuck on him like flies around poo.

Wait for Buhari to disappoint us, then you call him an appropriate name that will stick. Meanwhile, go hug transformer, am sure Jonathan didnt provide electricity.

Plus10:
before opening this trend I thought I would see tangible evidence to proof that the elections were rigged in ss and se, only to see figures upon figures.btw why didnt you add imo state results among the ones rigged in se or is imo state no longer in se?

In a race, when you see one contestant running nd the other walking, something is definitely up. In Imo, two candidates are running head to head meaning it was a fair race for both.

justirich:
It's really shameful the kinda results we are getting from the states in South-south and South-east. These regions are just centers of corruption and I'm greatly saddened to be from such region.

Akwa Ibom- How can PDP Udom Emmanuel get a whopping 996, 071 votes to 89, 865 to Umana Okon. 91% win. That's preposterous!
Enugu- PDP Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi has won with 482,277 votes against Okey Ezea who polled a mere 43,839 votes. Another 90% win.

So the opposition candidates are so hated in all corners of these two states that they couldn't muster up to 100, 000votes. It's just despicable rigging by the PDP. At least rig with some decency.

Meanwhile Yoruba and Northern states have results that showed more credibility. Check Oyo, Ogun and Lagos official results. Close results. After we will be complaining about oppression when we are so evil to our own kin.

Kaduna- Nasir el-Rufa’i scored 1,117,635 while Mukhtar Yero polled 485,833 votes. 69% win.
Katsina- Aminu Masari, polled 943,085 votes to beat Musa Nashuni 476,768. 66% win. And this is even Buhari's state.

We the alleged oppressed regions are even the bane of democratic progress in Nigeria. It was really divine that this terrible party has lost at the center. Good riddance to bad rubbish. God save the South!!!

In my state Kaduna, where the incumbent is an absolute non performing and coincidental governor managed to poll 400k votes even with the vice presidents support. In Akwa Ibom when all big wigs of the state including the former governor Attah ganged up against the PDP but to get less than 10%!

Right from the Presidential elections results i wanted to write something like this, but being a Northerner, the kind of insults i will take was beyond the time i would spend replying so i gave up. Thank God for you.

helpee:
what do you mean by impunity? Was it fayose that impeached the speaker or their fellow legislators? So why can't the legislators diplomatically win back their colleagues too? Why are you blaming fayose for a crisis that happened in the legislative chambers? You talk about oshimole? Did he not divide the house? When last did a united legislature sat down in rivers state under amaechi apc? How many legislators impeached fayose in his ist term? Just 7. If you have conscience you would have condemned it in strong terms but you are celebrating it. But now cos fayose presented the budget to the 7 that made themselves available in ekiti rather than your 19 that was sitting in tinubu house in lagos. You are now shouting. How can you be so proud of yourself knowing fully well your aim is just to thwart the will of the people in ekiti. I should rather ask you...do u have a conscience?

Did Fayose awknowledge the impeachment or not? Why would a sitting governor present budget to a group of 7 lawmakers that cannot even form a quorum apart from the fact that they need 16 to pass the budget? Is the governor that daft or what? Was Fayose there when a Judge in his court was beaten or not? They will never need to win their colleagues as long as they can always form a quorum of 8 and subsequently 2thirds of 16. They dont ever need the others, the others are free to join them or go hug transformer.

It is my view that only citizens and especially stakeholders of the state can call this governor to order which they seem to have failed by supporting him in his impunity streak.

Let me break it down to you. Passing the budget or commissioners is the perogative duty of house members and no other as long as it is supported 2thirds majority. Thats the law. On the other side, a governor is clearly wrong and inspiring impunity if he admits impeachment by 7 of 26 members and presenting budget and commissioners list to the 7. By law, those commissioners are not appointed while the government is running without budget as long as it was not passed by 2thirds of 26 members.

Anything outside this basic law is impunity as inspired by Fayose and supported by PDP and and some ekiti ppl.

helpee:
stop spewing rubbish. Why did the house refuse all the nominees for commissioner sent by fayose? Why did they refuse to pass the budget? So that fayose can't function. In a sane society what do you call that? They were putting politics above the people. Without budget how will fayose pay salaries and do anything. APC is always a bad loser. They wanted to frustrate fayose...he had no option that's why he did what he did. So tell me was the apc house not reigning with imputiny by refusing to carry out normal legislative duties cos of politics? The lawmakers rather than fayose need to be thrown into the abyss of ekiti politics. For your information I am from ekiti so you don't know more than me about this issue

What part of what they did is illegal?

What they did does not justify why Fayose should resort to impunity.

If you forgot just resently how GEJ lobbied aggressiely to have Obanikoro appointed as minister or how the 2015 budget was passed and many others. Do you know that the 2015 budget has caused alot of my friends and colleagues to lose their jobs because the budget cannot be funded so it is fucussed on recurrent expenditure and almost nothing on capital? Did GEJ resort to impunity to make the budget pass? Wasnt it what almost happened in Edo state? Has Oshiomhole resorted to impunity? There are 2 ways to work with an uncooperative group, either diplomatically or with impunity against the law. Impunity is what Fayose has opted for and i hope he is removed even if that same method will be used on him.

Where are your moral values if you encaurage impunity?

IAmTobore:
Bro, may GOD not let you be wounded by bigotry. What made the PDP members impeach the speaker? APC with desperation!

Guy. Bigotry? Do you know what bigotry means?

Ekiti is not my state neither am I yoruba. I have no connection whatsoever with Ekiti people, how can i be a bigot in this context.

For Fayose to carry out several cases of impunity is the reason i support the APC house to impeach him. Besides, if they succeed it will still be a PDP government via the present deputy governor. I am not against PDP here but against Fayose.

IAmTobore:
I know it's not possible, but that is politics for you (it's a dirty game). By the way, why does the APC law makers want to impeach Fayose?

The next thing i ask is are you Fayose's suppporter?

If you know that its not possible why should you do you support impunity by Fayose. If people like fayose carry out impunity in the name of politics, they need to be shown the way out.

The question you asked me is an obvious one, Fayose is reigning with impunity.

Olofintoto:
Nope they are planning to impeach him and his deputy. So it wuld be d speaker who is an APC member.

There is no impeachment notice for the deputy governor. Dont assume. The deputy will assume governor if governor is eventually impeached.

IAmTobore:
Those APC folks are confused. The case has been withdrawn on friday. The new case is...... they want Omirin back as speaker. And you know that can't be possible!

I want to get you correct. Do you think its possible for 7 members out of 26 to actually impeached the speaker were minimum onethird quorum is 8 and the minimum twothirds votes required to impeach is 16?

ilovecritics:
If they impeach Fayose; the PDP will impeach the next governor, if he's APC!

The next gov will be fayose's deputy who is still PDP.

haleeberry:
From comments have read so far here is in favour el rufai which confirm my doubt that none of were victims of 2006 demolistion in abuja. If u are, u will never wish him well. Alot of pple lost their lives, some run mad, so are have become indespensable friend wit poverty. What happen in abuja wil b d tip of an iceberg compare 2 what he wil unleash in kd

If you knew who Yero is you will not be saying this trash. Forget when the Bible says there is no lesser sin or sinner. El rufai is far a lesser sinner than Yero. Elrufai is not a saint neither was Buhari, they are both a far better choice than their incumbents.

Let me tell my view as a professional in real estate and and a sincere Nigerian. El rufai only dealth with the corruption in relevant departments that gave building permits in Abj. Forget those you see innocently crying during those demolitions, there was nothing right about their buildings, they cry only for their misplaced investment that is about to go down the drain either because they constructed illegaly or constructed legally but paid bribe to get that permission against the law and the Abj master plan. They are at fault in anyway you look at it.

Do you know what? The rate at which Abj master plan has been abused now, if el rufai were to come back again, worst will be done to sanitize it.

KADUNA PEOPLE ARE SO WICKED AND HATEFUL, HOW CAN YOU HAVE A WARD IN KADUNA SOUTH WHERE THE RESULTS ARE:

APC 13434 PDP 20

BUT WHY?

AGBAJE NWOSU, HOW MARKET IN LASGIDI?

Have you ever been to Southern Kaduna. You shouldnt talk about what you dont know. There are strictly muslim communities plus that so many of us Christians were fed up with PDP.

The entire north has conducted far more credible elections compared to the total hijack of the electoral process in south east and south south. Look at what happened in Akwa Ibom and Rivers yesterday for example.

Northerners are more civil than you guys aside from religious fanatism.

I experienced that problem twice on my 03 accord. The second incidence was only yesterday some minutes after i arrived my office. The engine was already hot after driving 30km to work so the usual morning/cold rpm of above 1000rpm doesnot apply.

After starting the car, the engine revved up to about 2000 rpm and back to the 800rpm and back to 2000 each time not staying there but just alternating. I stopped the engine and started again this time it was steady at 800rpm. I was confused as that is the second time it happened like that.

There is no check engine light too.

Right

Report from Ekiti said the people are strongly behind Fayose.
the lawmakers are simply wasting their time cos election is less than 48 hrs when they will become irrelevant.
PDP is going to sweep all the state house of assembly just as in march 28th election

They have until May 29th

What about the Abdulsalami Abubakar committee?

If ministers had to kneel before the President and beg him to concede, that means he did unwillingly. Can he now be called a hero?

Herald47:
It has come to my knowledge that since goodluck jonathan lost the 2015 presidential election to muhammadu buhari majority of the northerners and westerners has seen it as an opportunity to deride the easterners and to cajole them to regret and feel pity for themselves for voting goodluck jonathan,i have observed that majority of the easterners are not regreting their action,let me speak for myself and leave the rest of the easterners to speak for themselves too,i didn't vote for buhari quite alright because i didn't believe he can bring the change he was talking about to reality,some of my home brothers didn't vote for gej because they didn't love how he is running the affairs of the nation while many didn't vote for neither gej nor gmb and also some chose to manage gej in place of gmb,now gmb has won i ask can he convince the easterners that he is truelly a change agent?,i pray he convince me,the rest of the easterners and the nation at large by making those changes effective,wish him well though

The funny thing about you is that deep inside you, it hurts that the election didnt go your way. If you continue to see the northerner as your opponent that does not help our dear country. I am a Christian northerner who voted for GEJ in 2011. I refused to vote him this time around not because he is from SS but because his leadership was below par. I voted Buhari not because i am sure he can bring change, i did because i am hopeful that he will be better than GEJ.

For you, you have no hope in Buhari and am sure you wish he fails so you will tell the Northerners and westerners how they made a mistake. It is unfortunate that the same you who 'didn't believe he can bring the change' is expecting him to convince you. It is me who vote for him that needs to be convinced that i made the right choice.

However, we are all Nigerians and Buhari will be a president for Nigerians not the North and West alone. The only difference is that while the North and West will captain the plane called Nigeria, the SS and SE will be passengers on the ride who needs no convincing. If they dont like it, they can jump out at 30,000feet. Thats the bitter truth.

Herald47:
why can't you reason like a matured being atleast for once,or are you addicted to immaturity?

Calling me immature will not change any fact. My reasoning is based on facts.

Even before the elections, i did a fact check by myself and i was sure Buhari was going to win. I only wondered why 95% of easterners either didn't check the facts or were simply blinded by ethnicity to see what was about to befall their allegiance. Now that they have no single returning senator or house of reps APC members to be considered for Senate president or speaker HOR is a fact that has nothing to do with my maturity.

Have you heard of the adage that says 'monkey dey work baboon dey chop'. How can some one who refuses to work demand for food. What ever happens to the east is their own doing and their cross to carry. Call me immature from now till 2019 will not change a thing.

Instead of name calling, next time just state your counter opinion. Thats how to act maturely, you seem to be more immature than me.
