A sensible person should be urging Dino to sue Omoyele Sowore for enough money against defamation to close his propaganda shitpaper. But no!

A witness in the corruption trial of Justice Adeniyi Ademola has alleged that President Muhammadu Buhari gave the embattled judge N500,000 while his certificate controversy was pending before Mr. Ademola.
Some persons had filed a suit challenging Mr. Buhari’s candidacy prior to the 2015 elections, alleging the president had no secondary school certificate as required by law.
The witness said the money was given through Mr. Buhari’s former lawyer, Kola Awodeyin. The witness, however, said he does not consider the money a bribe. Mr. Ademola is being prosecuted by the Nigerian government for alleged corruption. He has denied the charges and requested accelerated hearing at the trial in Abuja.
The federal judge is being prosecuted alongside his wife, Olubowale, and a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Joe Agi.

Sanchez01: Very wrong! You don't tell your prospective employer this, else you just might happen to continue searching for a long time.
Their sole purpose of asking is to know one's market value. Since there are pay structures for the several positions within the establishment, it does not matter what you tell them, as you'd be paid within the pay structure.
Telling your interviewer that you cannot divulge your present or past salary with them when there is no clear agreement between you and your previous or past employer is a way of telling them to go to hell. It can also be construed as telling a LIE, by way of incomplete disclosure, which then becomes a question of INTEGRITY. Not many employers will want to engage someone with DOUBTFUL integrity except maybe na olopa work. www.nairaland.com/attachments/4274523_3805699img1396jpegcb9c5e0f95f8cb52cfda5bbc4d201cc6_jpegcbc2aa277423d11ab6fdf5a633b42ae1 |

Olori-Oko Kafaaata One man ARMY! Ekun Oko Oluremi Oracle Of Yoruba Nation Ijaya Gbogbo Politician The Destroyer of PDP Batman of the whole Africa Asiwaju of Nigeria
Long may you Reign Baba Agbalagba!
Anything for your boi Baba?  Any Omoluabi Yoruba who is not a fine bara beggar for anything will surely be ashamed to have a drug peddler as the leader of our sophisticated ethnic nation that had Awolowo as our leader a few decades ago, followed by the five UPN goveronrs of the LOOBO states. Omo ales will definitely identify with a fellow omo ale jatijati. www.nairaland.com/attachments/1206437_2e8d204456ddaca651c21c258cad334b_jpg2c86cdb1543edff718fbaebc74f4b873https://www.mikeangelonews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/BolaTinubu.jpgBabasessy: Awo Family Without An Awo By Sam Omatseye (The Offensive Article)
https://rarerborealis.com/wordpressblog/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/ns_9095.jpg
The Awolowo rebirth in the Southwest has inspired gongs, songs and rhetoric of sorts. But they have missed one point.
It occurred to me in Abeokuta last week amidst the big crowds and euphoria of the swearing-in of Senator Ibikunle Amosun as governor. In all the states from Lagos to Edo, where Awo has witnessed ideological resurgence, hardly a single family member has played a role.
So we have an Awo family without an Awo. That is an irony. But history overwhelms us with this sort of twist. Obafemi Awolowo toiled for his reputation. His roots were lowly, he toiled to school both home and abroad, launched into careers in law, business, journalism and eventually politics. He carved a niche for himself, and became the first methodical and charismatic leftist in our history. Other leftists abounded but they did not inspire comparable drama and following.
He faced tribulations, went to jail, failed in elections, won a few, but he imprinted his ideas and legacy in the country, and no single mortal has beaten him in the history of this country. His greatest achievement was in the area of ideas, and that was how he fashioned a family. Most families are born of biology but his issued from ideology. That family suffered with him.
In a spoof of Jesus Christ, these were the men who followed him in his teachings, and endured with him in his temptations. So he formed a kingdom for them in the Southwest, in the old Western Region, presiding over his projects, his legacies and people.
In all of these, the family he had was not his flesh and blood. In another spoof of Christ, who were his family anyway? Those who were with him must be counted as his family. So, I combed in the ambience of Babatunde Raji Fashola (SAN), and I found none. I went to Ogun, I frisked the crowd under Amosun’s bower, hardly any. Around Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola in Osun, I could not lay a finger. With Governor Kayode Fayemi in Ekiti, where are the forbears of Awo? Yet, I can hear the chants of Awo. Hardly in any of the inaugural speeches or any of their other public intervention would you miss the philtre and filter of Awo from these gentlemen. To parody Novelist Joseph Conrad, they are the sparks from Awo’s sacred fire, the messengers of the might within the man.
Already all of them are pursuing the legacy ideas of Awo: free education, free health services, infrastructural development, urban renewal and economic engineering.
Lagos has posted itself as the John the Baptist. The others are putting up valiant efforts, and the world of course is watching to see how well they will perform. It will call for great work, resourcefulness and cooperation. They are the real Awoists, and Awo was a man of rigour and vigour.
The Awo son that many expected to take after the father was Olusegun, who unfortunately died in a car crash. We shall never know if he could have pulled it off. But the others have not shown much of the paterfamilias’ brio and depth. In the past decade, under this republic, they have blended with the wrong crowd. Even H.I.D, hobnobbed with Alao-Akala, who brought illiteracy to governance; with Oyinlola who turned the grace of office into a hell-hole of despots; with Daniel who could not arrest his quick fall into megalomania.
I wrote once that this woman whom Awo once described as the jewel of inestimable value has lost value to his cause. If he came back to life, he would have committed the extraordinary act of divorce after death. Even his newspaper, The Tribune, has so stumbled and fallen that it swims in Awo’s vomit.
Groucho Max, one of the funniest satirists in American history, said of a man that he got his looks from his father. Then he quipped, “He was a plastic surgeon.” That means the son is not his real son, or he did not inherit his natural looks. Ideologically, when we talk of Awo’s family, the chief inheritor is Asiwaju Bola Tinubu as the leader of all the others. He was the one who stuck his neck out. He could have lost his life or ended his career in politics. The so-called real Awolowos who bear his surname cannot come up for mention. They are Awolowos but not Awoists. They stabbed their father in the back. They have committed ideological parricide.
The only person that made a real try was Awolowo-Dosunmu in the early 1990s and she lost roundly. She was accused of trying to ride her father’s coattail. Political families are good for democracies. They can exemplify the high ideals of diligence, dignity, ideas, character. We have seen these in such families as the Kennedys, the Adamses, the Roosevelts, the Ghandis. They just don’t claim family. They appeal to the high ideals that endeared the families to their societies.
It’s also an irony that these families are falling into twilight. Some of them have vanished. Enoch Powell, a British MP, once gave us the famous line: “All political lives, unless they are cut off midstream at a happy juncture, end in failure because that is the nature of politics and human affairs.”
Columnist Ambassador Dapo Fafowora adverted to this idea in a recent outing, and I debated it with him afterwards. I don’t believe that a political life should be judged by how it ends but what it means. The quote is often missed by many who mistake “careers” for “lives.” A political life should be judged by its legacies. If we judged Awo by how he ended, we would look at him only as the loser to Shagari. That is why I see an intrinsic mischief in Enoch’s quote. But I would agree that political families end also in failure if you judge how they peter out and not the legacy.
Awo’s legacy is alive and well. Members of other families in flesh and blood can carry on. Immediate families tend to suffer from what an author, Noemie Emery, describes as dynastic curse. The children tend to be intimidated by the standards set by the fathers. So they just don’t want to try. They feel they cannot match them or come even close. The problem probably comes from the fathers themselves. The Adams, who produced important presidents, later gave birth to moral vagrants and drunks. The Bush daughters showed themselves as party girls when their father was contesting the political battle of his life.
But Joe Kennedy groomed his sons assiduously, and they excelled in politics. They also had a fair share of tragedies. Ted Kennedy regained his sobriety and voice in America after a season of debauchery. In Nigeria, we are seeing the Sarakis fade. A Saraki – Bukola - is wiping out the Sarakis from politics. It is a classic case of oedipal tragedy, something I predicted earlier this year on this page.
It is not late though for the flesh-and-blood Awolowos to join their father’s fold. But they must be genuine. Awo was the most important Yoruba personage in history after Oduduwa. They had stellar men like Oranmiyan, Balogun Latosa, Lisabi, Sodeke, et al. None of them had the unifying vision and organisational acumen that Awolowo gave the race. The wife, children and grandchildren should not watch others glow in his jewel without them.

HungerBAD: They said he is irrelevant.
And I laugh. The wise ones know better. The Representative of a foreign Country,especially a powerful Country like France,do not pay casual visits.
2019 loading,and foreign interests whispering to the most powerful man in Nigeria,the kind of person they want to rule Nigeria.
This is how Politics is done. No Foreign dignitary has paid any visit to Atiku,Obasanjo,Babangida or any Nigerian Politician not holding any position in Nigeria.
2019 loading and the enemies of Nigeria, have started crumbling one by one.
Dino Maleye has just been exposed as the dumbest Nigeria graduate ever. The noise maker is so intellectually bankrupt,ABU is having trouble locating his "PASS DEGREE" certificate among the debris they had thrown away with annoyance.
Same DSS that refused to clear Magu will be disbanded,and merged with the Police if they dare clear Saraki to contest for the Presidency in 2019,if he is somehow not jailed for his current court case.
Tuale Tinubu.
Master Technician.
Baba Niyen. They cam for intelligence gathering about your country and typical black man is getting all excited.  Interesting. I doubt if the French people will be excited about the Nigerian ambassador visiting the equivalent Asiwaju Asiwere of touts and thugs in one section of their country. Assuming the Nigerian ambassador even has enough clout to do that in the first instance. liljboy: It’s okay to marry a woman old enough to be your mother, you can still explain that as love, but someone old enough to be your grandmother?
www.nairaland.com/attachments/4914275_df_jpeg373e55dea7e43f08e80004f94f67a4a7 todaynewsreview: The bodies of at least 74 migrants have been washed ashore in western Libya, in the latest tragedy along the dangerous trafficking route to Europe. The Libyan Red Crescent posted photos of dozens of bodies in black and white bags lined up along the shore near the western city of Zawiya. A spokesman for the aid organisation said there were still bodies floating out at sea as the agency had no way of retrieving them. He said the migrants were all adults, mostly from sub-Saharan African countries, and all but three were men. The UN migration agency, the International Organisation of Migration (IOM), said the dinghy had set off on Saturday with 110 people on board. The agency said traffickers deliberately took the engines from the boat and then abandoned it to drift.

Even when the price of oil from the Niger Delta started nose diving, Jonathan managed our economy very well such that our exchange rate did not crash anyhow unlike the dullard who has ruled ruined us for two years. Oil price crashed by over 50% but Jonathan managed our exchange rate to drop only by N10 from N206 on the shared picture of the OP to N216 on the campaign poster for CHANGE.
