Axeurdaddy:
PMB isn't as bad as he's politically smeared to look to the people

Good to hear that! The two men are mere mortals like everyone. They can make mistakes and people should tell them the truth and those who do shouldn't be seen as enemies of anyone or a particular political party.

Axeurdaddy:
We both know it isn't, Do not allow petty hatred cloud your sense of judgement. I have friends and families who lost their jobs in Jonathan's era as well.

Then Goodluck isn't as bad as he was politically smeared to look to the people.

Fetish cowards. ..very diabolical set of people. ..ritualistics Scratchfaceds with coneheads. ...Always carrying outdated talking drums here and there...Even with their jujustic rituals, they are not any better than others, rather they even worse if I may say...is brown roofs development? Ritual-killers everywhere

Yorubas it is not by juju...Even with your juju and rituals, you are still cowards

I would rather you never descended this low just like any Yoruba might have been unreasonable. The Yoruba culture is a very rich one and just as others it has isolated negatives too. Please embrace civility.

Chigold101:
APC takes him serious thats why they down play what he says so that APC members and gullible Nigerians will think Fayose is lying.

He raised points that none of you are looking into.

How can someone who didnt have money for APC presidential form now has 30million Naira? Dnt this make you to have a rethink?
we were told he doesnt own anything outside kaduna & daura but we were just told again he has properties in 5 states plus ABJ... We should think about these things.

Funny that some of us are being blinded by whatever we are fed by APC infested press...too bad

All you rightly pointed out is shared by me and many other like minds. But those folks at variance will maintain their hypnotic stance with baseless defenses.

efilefun:
Sometimes i wonder what level Nigeria would have been if this man was given another 4 years... Yet some brain dead wailers wanted us to continue with a clueless corrupt laden government

NEVER AGAIN will a drunkard scam Nigerians with that "I have no shoes" story again

But Mr Christopher Kolade didn't say the corruption noticed in those states on SUREP youth employment program was directly the handiwork of the 'drunkard'. Let the 'drunkard' be. How many people are even corrupt free in the major political parties of the country in the last government? Even now they are there as wolves in sheep clothing of anti-corruption but will never resin honorably like this good man.

Ilekeh:
Why are Yoruba muslims educated and many Northern muslims aren't?

I don't think religion is the problem, I think culture is a burden.

Look at Arabic Muslims....they're educated and rich.

Gosh dammit, why is Nigeria like this

My dear Yoruba muslims are sensible humans like their fellow Christian who don't carry religious issues on their heads as if they are holier than the sheiks or the popes. Very tolerant folks they are.

IGBOSON1:
^^^But there's the same disharmony between western civilization and the arabs/muslims of the middle-east yet these refugees leave wealthy arab countries like the UAE, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia and queue up at the gates of Europe and the western world!

One has to wonder why these arabs are ignoring muslim countries with all the 'holiness' they supposedly have and are banging on the doors of 'degenerate' and 'sinful' Western Europe to be let in! Australia, Canada, The USA, etc....countries 'rife' with sin, gays, gay marriage, loose dressing, loose women, promiscuity and all what not are having to contend with thousands of arabs and muslims seeking a free society and christian compassion!

I hope you all can see the hypocrisy of these closed societies and religion!? Even their own adherents are running away from them and clinging on to the Christian Western World in their time of need!

Humanitarian crisis Syrian refugees are currently facing is quite disheartening. Every tribe and tongue, nations and countries these unfortunate ones go for respite should welcome them with the arms of love, not minding they are coming from a region of religious bias and intolerance. They are humans who deserve a sense of belonging:LOVE.

TheFreeOne:
Maybe the numbers of southerners that believes in fairness/equity and abhors corruption are more than those in the north. It could also a result of more enlightenment/education.

Corruption shouldn't be encouraged though.

The pic is a typical example of some northerners backing their own.

The most corrupt practices carried out unchallenged as of now are up there in their states and LG levels. For instance, talk of ghost workers on pay roll and those who only show up 'once in a month' to reap undeserved salaries, etc. They go away with it 'cos majority of their folks aren't enlightened while we rightly make noise here over the change of our looters.

major466:
APC led government of Daura born Magician didn't deny any bill boards during campaigns because it suits their lying agenda. Now that reality has set in after 100 wasted days, they are denying their own bill boards. How low can they get themselves in the mud Very shamefull indeed.

I saw one of such billboards in my SouthWest location today on interest free loans to students. Perhaps that was part of the opium the youths took hook,line and sinker in the buildup to election, chanting sai whatever...I recall telling many they'll be stunned by the change that awaits them even before the election was won.

Zonacom:
The first few paragraphs of this write up are very disturbing. We seriously need to tell ourselves the truth. Ahmadu Bello and some other venerated leaders of the past actually planted this seed of hate between the hausas and other tribes. And we call them heroes of our past... nonsense

You quite got it. However brash this FFK might have sound, most of his rants are absolute truth. Most folks and sentimental apologists may loathe him but some of us are in his page.

tobtap:
not surprised.. POLITICIANS=LAW-BREAKERS ..hopefully he will obey traffic laws next time

We shouldn't be quick to pontificate. Things might not be exactly the way they seem as reported. Besides the Mr former governor isn't the driver. We should thank God no one died, directly or indirectly.

Gamechanger:
I said bring GEJ's INITIAL or ENTIRE appointments and compare.

No reasonable person will wait for Buhari to finish his appointments to compare .

Oh you want me to wait till he appoints 50 Igbo men as members of irrelevant boards so that you will list them for me abi

Not until it's buried with the carcass, the fly will never reason...

hyfr:
beautiful nonsense. Is it only when a man puts a knife at your throat you will know he wants to kill you?

Not until it's buried with the carcass, a fly will never reason...

scholes0:
Lagos is 100% Yorubaland pure and simple.
Yorubaland extends even more Westwards than Lagos into Republic of Benin and Togo...
And here , someone is thinking Lagos is not Yorubaland....Lmao ... so Lagos is an Enclave right in the middle of Yoruba territory Abi?

The natives of Lagos state are made up of 2 major groups
1 YORUBAS
subdivided into: Aworis, Ijebus, Egbas and Saros

2 GUN GBE
These are the Ogus (Eguns) some of which live in Badagry LGA.
They are a much smaller minority though.... And even they, migrated to Lagos (Yoruba territory) as refugees from the Dahomean wars
Here is their Wiki page:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ogu_people


Don't yo dare come here attempting to tell us our history.... Yoruba are no fools.

Bro anyone disputing the 'Yorubaness' of Lagos with some spurious cooked up stories as this should be seen as running a high fever. Lagos is a territory almost totally surrounded by Yoruba towns contiguous to it save the atlantic ocean.

This Poor Man Was Rejected by A Rich Man’s Daughter. 10 Years Later, He Meets Her Again
Posted on: elitereaders.com


What are the qualities that you look for in a partner?

When I was younger, I preferred good-looking and funny men. But as I got older, men who were smart, understanding, and responsible became more attractive for me. I developed this preference because I wanted a loving husband who my future kids could look up to. However, there’s no denying that there are some women who prioritize something else when looking for an ideal partner – those who look for men who can give them anything and everything they want. Because of this, they tend to check the contents of a man’s bank account first before knowing their personality and character.

Such is the case of a popular story circulating online about a man rejected by a rich man’s daughter because he didn’t make enough money to support her lavish lifestyle. Ten years later, the two accidentally bumped into each other. The ending of the story is absolutely unexpected but it will give you a valuable lesson in life.

Read the one-of-a-kind love story below:

A poor boy was in love with a rich man’s daughter.

Overcome with his love for the girl, the boy proposed to her. However, the rich girl derisively rejected him and said, “Your monthly salary is equivalent to my daily expenses. How do you expect me to marry someone like you? I can never love you so forget about me. Go find and marry someone else of your level.”

Despite being rejected so hurtfully, for some reason, the boy could not forget her so easily.

Roughly 10 years later, they ran into each other accidentally in a shopping mall.

She immediately recognized the man and said, “Hey, how are you? I’m now married to a very smart man, and his salary is $15,700 per month! Can you beat that?”

The man, hearing those painful words from the woman he used to care for, held back his tears and said nothing.

Not a few moments passed when the woman’s husband came back to her side. But before the lady could say a word, her husband immediately recognized the man she was talking to and said, “Sir? G-good afternoon! I see you’ve met my wife!”

“Good afternoon too, Mr…?”, said the man.

“Mr. Carter, Sir!”

The husband then turned to his wife and said, “Dear, I’d like you to meet my boss. He owns the $100 million project I’ve been working on!”

The woman, left flabbergasted by the turn of events, was not able to say anything back.

The man just smiled and said, “Well, Mr. Carter. I’ve got to get going. I have important things to attend to. It was splendid seeing you today. Have a great day!”

For a minute, the couple just stared at the man as he walked away.

Having been over her initial shock, the woman asked her husband in disbelief, “That was your boss?”

“Yes, dear. He’s a very humble person but his life is quite a sad story. They said he once loved a lady but she dumped him because he was just a poor boy back then. Because of that, he worked really hard. And because he’s smart, he became successful. Now he’s a multimillionaire who earns millions of dollars a month. Unfortunately though, he couldn’t move on from that heartbreak and remains unmarried still.”

The husband went on and said, “How lucky would that lady have been if she had married that man?”

The lady looked in total shock and couldn’t utter a word.

Morals of the story:
Life is short. Furthermore, it is just like a mirror – you can only see as much as it reflects. So don’t be too arrogant or proud by looking down on others because of their current situations. Things and circumstances can change with time

Pavore9:
It should rather be, what are Nigerians doing to put Nigeria back into the number one position?

Nigeria may rightly not be No.1 exporter of yam but I don't think any other country, for now, produce it as much as Nigeria. We are more concerned with our domestic market distribution of it than exporting. No country in the world rival Nigeria's local consumption of yam.

Neduzze5:
Yeah, that's true and that's why I made sure to stake

Good luck on your endeavor bro. If our I our tomato growers apply stakes, they'll experience similar improvement on extra effort.

Neduzze5:
Very soon I'll start sending ropes up from the plants to the stakes like this....

Nice bro. Staking will enhance yield and check rots of cucumber.

millionaireman:
Stop your swimming in ignorance. You have been seeking attention while I have ignored you all along: federating units in a true federal country are not derived using land mass as a criterion.

Even the so called Kwara State that is about 80% Yoruba is politically Zoned to favor the North. Most of my kits and kins there aren't happy with this. My S/W town is a stroll away to Kwara North,laughable.. reasons for the so called land mass, population, more reps in both houses of parliament and allocations,etc isn'nt justified...Allocation of the proceeds from where? These are just little in the whole scheme of injustices to other regions. If this is considered, somebody wouldn't mention land mass.

Kingspin:
What is the agenda of the North in Nigeria? This people that love religion than development.

That is the root of all their problems which, unfortunately, other liberal regions who are better of on their own are made to share in the so called one nigeria. We shall overcome...this I believe...

sokunji:
Really..I don't want to be disrespectful and call u a big fat liar, but what you said is far from the truth.. the confab consisted of equall number of people from the region. .and then representatives from all over the country and outside. .it had representative of people in diaspora, the police force, human right activist and so many others. .those representatives of various groups were selected irrespective of their tribe or region.

www.leadership.ng/news/352593/national-confab-jonathan-releases-list-492-delegates

mtscheeew. .pls look for another lie to defend your refusal to support a confab report that is important to our unity and growth as a nation.

babajero:
let just take your word that am brainwashed but still love my neighbour and keep them safe, but you are not brainwashed but bombs anything that comes around you, I better follow the corrupted but devine book than follow the uncorrupted but evil book.

I don't give a hoot what any religious book says. It's the typical behavioral tendency of adherents of such religions that matters. Everyone knows truth...

masterchi:
If to say oil no dey people like hell'rufai for don die.

It's unfortunate oil is the focus in running this country. For how long...? I would rather this Mr Governor lamented on reviving the groundnut pyramid they killed up North.

Nickky28:
And he is busy traveling round the world instead of ordering his boys to start the war against BH

To start what? A war without a defined territory or a battlefield and an opponent you hardly know. It's an asymmetric war. The hotbeds in the North need divine intervention of God. Not military might alone.

4Horsewomen:
Decepticon, you guys like playing the ostrich. You are not only insane but a green snake like you all are. You were supporting and praising GMB to high heavens. So because BOko Haram bombed mosques so what? Who cares? If they want to kill themselves, that is their business. Why do you Yoruba people like to act smart? You are so dumb in the process. You guys are always siding Boko Harm.

Why dont christians kill people in the South in the name of Christianity? Bloody Decepticon.

You got it bro. Can't imagine a church folk will go out there to kill, chanting christ in the process for what reasons? Not in the name of He whose life defines the peace of God with us. Anyway, this isn't religion of peace to the 'righteous people' that kill.

tonytony208:
it only happens that that "coincidental" 1% makes up a large chunk of the most important appointments.

The game plan is just unfolding bro. As far as main federal appointment is concerned, majority or the most important posts must go to their ilks. Some of our SouthWest leaders in their party that was warned are now ashamed and aggrieved. Good for them! They must face the SAI music chants squarely with those who choose to follow them.

Politicians play politics as defined: "Authoritative allocation of scarce resources" or "He who gets what, when and how". But do politicians in this part of the world ever experience scarcity like civil servants (commoners) or ever at the mercy of available choices? I doubt it. They always live large in good or bad times. It's the people that have no choice...naija politics my foot

May God be praised.

joseph1832:
I guess the spate of bombings now plaguing the north central part will put many at rest that PMB is not a supporter neither is he a sympathizer of Boko Haram!.

To all those who called him jihadist and extremist, I believe you're now assured that he's neither!.

Now I believe its high time the military move into action. This jihadist shouldn't be left to continue killing like this. Fridays makes it one week so PMB should get up and move and do something!.

It's a difficult war for the military. This a typical asymmetric war. There is hardly a defined battle ground in this case, the enemy is week but devices a deadly means that makes it elusive, the military can't tell who the enemy is and they only see the enemy when he strikes as the deed is done. It's like a spiritual warfare. May God help the Nigeria Armed Forces.

AnneMomoh:
They were only officers carrying out an order.

Besides,non of the actors: the ousted leaders and the usurper were legitimate. They were all democratically guilty against the state then.
