Goke7: my guy tinubu is not the problem but our people way of thinking, how good are the SE governors performing? has that made them detest PDP? even the SE governors initially dd not want obi but are they not mobilising for obi one of their own.
What is killing us in the SW is unnecessary and unhealthy rivalry and it will consume us soon. Too much analysis that leads to paralysis
sapoyoro: my brother.. I'm from osun state too..osogbo... I can tell you confidently that this is not about religion,most osun people who are voting against Buhari do not hate him,ask them why they vote PDP,more than 90% will mention "Aregbe" our Governors made a lot of people hate APC..anything APC...
and secondly, I think tinubu is quite becoming a poisoned chalice to a lot of people in SW, they detest and hate the man brand of politics, the truth is the tinubu factor will cause Buhari a lot of votes in SW..a lot are seeing him as corrupt and too overbearing.. thirdly is that there are a lot of non-indigenes in most Yoruba cities..an example is osogbo...more than 80 percent of non-indigenes will never vote APC,now combined that with the little osogbo indigenes who will not also vote the party.. fourth is that PDP infrastructure whether we like it or not is very strong in almost all SW States and some Yorubas from beginning are traditionally PDP. but brother believe me,our Governors are the major culprit, if they have done well,presidential for APC in SW will be walkover for Buhari.
babaolofin: It is not frustration because of SW governors, no amount of frustration will make Ibos to vote APC. Ibos will always give 98% votes to their party and fellow Ibo man. South West foolishness predates Awolowo era. It is a curse
It is not that deep. What you're saying implies that Igbo's are sophisticated politically which is not true. Igbos have been voting for the PDP since 1999. Obasanjo didn't have an Igbo vice, neither did Yaradua or Jonathan. So, whether Atiku chose Peter Obi or not would not have been an issue for Igbo's because they would have still voted for PDP. If Igbo's cared so much about an Igbo running mate then they should have voted for Buhari on the two occasions when he had Igbo vice in Okadigbo and Ume Uzooke. Heck, they should have voted for Ojukwu overwhelmingly but they didn't . They are just PDP people. Heck, If Buhari ports yo PDP, they would vote for him. It's that funny. We're not that calculative as you imply. We just vote PDP and hate APC rhetorics.
Here's the part 2 of my drive around Enugu City. I also ventured into the University of Nigeria, Enugu Campus. Some parts of the video was not not so good due to the direction of the sun.
Jarus: I dont like lodging in Deira. Too noisy in my view. I prefer Bur Dubai/Oud Metha and that's where I lodged in all the 4 times I have vacationed in Dubai. However I realise that I spend more time in Deira (for relatively inexpensive shopping) than other places and we spend a lot on transport to Deira from our hotel on our daily visits, so my family have convinced me to lodge in Deira when next we holiday in Dubai.
I also stay in Bur Dubai but i noticed i do most of my shopping on Deira. I rarely buy stuff at Dubai mall and other high end malls.
ariketalks: Cool Could be because you find many Nigerians there.
No,normally, i lstay away from anywhere there are loads of Nigerians. I like Deira because it's more uniquely Dubai in a cultural sense. I also have a thing for shopping cheap.
The apex Igbo grouip, Ohanaeze Ndigbo headed by Nnia Nwodo came out to endorse the candidacy of PDP's presidential flag bearer, Atiku Abubakar against Buhari and some Igbos particularly in the APC have come out to register their dospleasure. Most notable person is the governor of Anambra state, Willie Obiano who has even exchanged words with Nwodo.
Here's the thing:
Ohanaeze as a group should not be endorsing any candididate not matter how much Igbos rally around such candidate. There's no gain saying that Atiku's candidacy is popular amongst Igbos but everyone has their individual preference and a group that represents the genrality of Igbos should not be seen as partisan to the extent of endorsing a candidate.
Having said that, the only reason why some Igbo politicians are againstOhanaeze's decision is because it does not favour them. If they had endorsed Buhari, they would have been hailed to high heavens.
As for Willie Obiano, he's a decent governor but i feel irritated by his recent outbursts. So what if Buhari opened the ZIK masoleum? Is that the only criteria for him to be endorsed? Is ZIK our alpha and omega. Like what is wrong with these politicians. Instead of us to be discussing issues, we're picking out one single act, making Buhari look like some sort of saint. If Obiano wants to join APC, he should go right ahead and stop being so cowardly about it. Same with Dave Umahi. Take a step and stop pandering to the center like your life depends on it.
Wjile they're campaigning in Enugu, i hope they don't destroy what has been built by both present and past governors of Enugu which i captured on Camera.
I went with the governor to Heroes square at night and imust say that i was impressed with the idea. I never even knew that the square was named after Ojukwu and that it had the statues of other great Nigerians.
All the times that i have been or passing Onitsha, i have never ventured into the inner city. It's either i'm on the Onitsha-Owerri expressway or the Onitsha- Awka expressway. Actually i passed the Onitsha-Awka expressway and apart from the bad federal road after Onitsha, i found the onitsha and Awka part of that road to be very nive. I mean the onitsha express is very wide. Awka also seem to have grown so much from the last time i saw it alost 10 years ago. I think i passed about 3 bridges in Awka and they all look nice. Anambra is definitely on the move.
raumdeuter: Corruption and stealing are 2 basic attribute that impugns the character of people. Being a thief means you have a flaw in your moral fiber and I cannot trust you. How do you employ a manager of your company you cannot trust with money? Assuming he makes 10billion, what stops him from stealing the 10billion again. Corruption is why the country will make a record income due to the oil boom and still have to borrow to pay salaries. Which shows that no amount of productivity is enough for a kleptomaniac to ruin If the person at the top is corrupt, then there will be a culture of corruption in the entire system.
When you work in a bank, the day they doubt your integrity is the day you get fired.
Congressman Jefferson, Atiku's partner in crime in the same crime is in jail while Atiku is contesting to be president. That is a major problem with the country
While you're right, everything about Atiku being a thief is mere conjecture. We can't base it on what Obasanjo said. Who says Obasanjo hikmself isn't a thief or not.
Having said that, i agree with your stance of being a thief meaning that you have a character flaw and i'm not saying i would suport a known thief to rule the country. Neither will i support a tribal and religious bigot or a clueless person. It's actually a tough choice. Tyo each his own. The only reason we're comparing a thief and a bigot is because we have been ruled by the worst of the worst. We're just trying to choose who may seem bearable. But they're all the same.
Atiku, as judged by his direct boss, was described as a Kleptomaniac, who will steal every thing and we saw how he stole everything when he was in charge of privatization he sold everything to himself and his cronies
He recently said he will still feed his friends fat at the expense of the nation
Buhari even if he old and not exposed, There has been no one that has come out with any allegation of stealing public funds on him
He said boldly in the interview yesterday that he doesnt have any foreign account, All the assets he declared are verifiable and anyone can bring out any other thing against him
Choosing a manager of resources, Integrity is key, Buhari has in bulk, Atiku lacks in every form
When it's at the level where they are threatening Atiku with traveling America just because of corruption. America where many ordinary people even 17yr old students travel to without anyone following them
We seem to think that all we need for a president is someone who is not correct. Corruption is just one of the many problems plaguing this nation. Buhari may be incorruptible according to what a lot of people keep saying but there are other attributes that he posseses that will make me overlook his incorruptibility. One is his inability to unite the country. Secondly, a president needs to understand the basics of managing an economy. Atiku on the other hand may be a thief according to wat you said Obasanjo said about him, but his other attributes are commendable. He has a very sound understanding of business. Though i sti'' maintain that he is no necessarily the best for us.
raumdeuter: If the 2 candidates available were Buhari and Atiku to manage my company, I will choose Buhari because Atiku is a thief and will loot the company into bankruptcy
If it was a case of Buhari vs Sowore, I will choose Sowore
If Atiku is a thief then so is Buhari. Neither men have been convicted.
My problem with Buhari has never been the fact that he may be corrupt. Honestly, i dont care. My problem is his lack of exposure which leads him to make decisions that can be seen as either tribal or religious. There is no smoke without fire.
Atiku on the other hand may be a thief for all i care but he is a better manager of resources and understands issues better than Buhari. This election is a case of choosing between the devil and the deep blue sea because we all know that the likes of Sowore will not smell that exalted seat as things stand.
Ozibe: This road is another road I enjoyed and would be another highbrow in future with the massive hotels and multi stores building along that road. Ther is also a massive school being built along the road. You can’t find any 2storey there. It all starts from 3storey with wide roads, straight down to orji flyover.
You mean Rochas Foundation College of Africa (ROFOCA)?
kokoboy: NameCheap doesn't support .NG TLD, I spoke with their support.
Namecheap was talking about transfering your domain to them but you don't need to do that. All you have to do is point to their server and only move your hosting to them.
I even have a better offer. I have a server that i rent out spaces. if you like, i can rent out some space for you at little cost.
