datribune: Yeah, Ur bad dat u still support d weakest, most corrupt & clueless leader in nigerian history. Ur fixation wit OBJ is becoming a mental condition -OCD. I don't care about OBJ, afterall we ar in dis mes todays because of his error of judgement by foisting on our nation d most clueless, inept & divisive leader who didn't know what leadership meant. In short, he was GEJ's godfather. Weep 4 ur cluelessness by tying OBJ, d failed PDPian to d APC. Buhari is not GEJ. unlike GEJ, GMB is his own man
Na true you talk, my man
Abi nor be the Daura President wey work for Abacha for so many years even though he (Abacha) was his junior and later declared the Abacha did NOT steal our money in 2008. Are we talking about the same Buhari or someone else
Obasanjo endorses APC moves, as party leadership visit Abeokuta 22.Dec 2013
The push by the opposition, All Progressives Congress, APC to dislodge the ruling Peoples Democratic Party, PDP received a boost yesterday as former President Olusegun Obasanjo openly threw his weight behind the APC’s current initiatives. The APC leadership, comprising some national leaders and governors visited him Obasanjo in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital on Saturday to solicit the former president’s support for the party in the forthcoming elections. The party leaders, which started converging on Obasanjo’s Hilltop Mansion around 5:22pm, included former governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, the party’s Interim National Chairman, Bisi Akande; former Head of State, General Muhammadu Buhari; former speaker of the House of Representatives, Aminu Masari; former Borno State governor, Senator Ali Modu-Sheriff; Senator Osita Isunazor; Senator Bukola Saraki and Lai Mohammed. Governor Murtala Nyako of Adamawa State came to the former president’s house in company with the former Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commissioin, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu; the former minister of aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode and others in a convoy of three black jeeps. Other APC governors at the meeting included Rochas Okorocha (Imo), Ibikunle Amosun (Ogun), Abdulfattah Ahmed (Kwara), Rotimi Amaechi (Rivers), Rabiu Kwankwaso (Kano) and Senator Abiola Ajimobi (Oyo). The Chairman of the New PDP, Kawu Baraje led some of his members and the former Kaduna State Chairman, Yero Makama, to the meeting. Presenting the party chieftains and the APC governors to Obasanjo during the opening of the meeting, Akande said the party was in support of the former president’s 18-page letter to President Goodluck Jonathan. The APC National Leader, Tinubu who alluded to Obasanjo’s contribution to the building of the Nigerian nation, lamented that the country was divided more than ever. Apparently referring to Obasanjo’s recent letter to Jonathan, he enjoined the former president not to shy away from speaking the truth. Tinubu added that the APC had resolved to rescue Nigeria, appealing to Obasanjo to lead the mission. “You’ve come out of tribulation and held the highest position in this country. We are here because of your courage. Nobody can say he has information more than you. You have surmounted a number of crises. Nigeria is divided more than before; to realise stable Nigeria, we want to encourage you to continue to speak the truth. We’re resolved and determined to rescue Nigeria. We want you as navigator,” he said.
stephenduru: Life has stages.It starts from childhood and ends in adulthood.
Checkout this throwback photo of Governor Fashola of Lagos state when he was a kid.He was dressed in a white shirt with a matching bow tie.Fashola's swag did not start today.
How many kids did your swag-conscious Fashola ensure they also went to PUBLIC schools with free textbooks like he did as a child, during his eight years of ruining Lagos state despite IGR increasing over 38 times in the 16 years of APC maladministration and budget increase of over 10 times in the same period
Are these questions not more important for REASONABLE Lagosians than some EMPTY swag of an akotileta prodigal son?
datribune: What's my business wit OBJ another bad product of d discredited PDP?.
And there I was, thinking I was engaging with someone who had a modicum of reasoning faculty. My bad

Can someone please remind our Misitah Integrity of these 2011 killings who were "beneficiaries" of his baboons & dogs soaked in blood rallying call to his almajiri boys that he REFUSED to send to school
OrlandoOwoh: In your attempt to show your "smartness", you shot yourself. Go check what it means to defect. The process of a legislator moving to another party is different from a person who is not a legislator. In fact, in the parliament it's called carpet crossing.
Na your hurry make you nor see the post wey I respond to.
So, may I humbly request you to go back and read it so you don't embarrass yourself further in public Thank me later
OrlandoOwoh: South South has always been with the centre. In the second republic, governors Melford Okilo and U. J. Esuene of Rivers and Cross Rivers states were in NPN as President Shehu Shagari. 2015 upwards won't be an exception. Watch as the elections in Delta, Rivers, Akwa Ibom and Cross Rivers states are upturned.
Recipe for CRISIS by dog-eat-dog people who think sey na them get clue pass for wiseness.
Does anyone know the public outcry that precipitated the downfall of the Shagari administration in 1983 and arrival of Buhari's wasteful dictatorship in our national life
Half a word, they say, is enough for the wise. Let's see how many of our 170 million fellow citizens are actually wise!
datribune: smh. Read d trash u hav written, dumbo. U always want to reap where u hav not sown. When will u hav sense?. U ar still here talking instead of covering ur head in shame & apologizing to nigerians 4 trying to foist on us an inept, clueless kleptomaniac who had shown clearly dat he doesn't hav what it takes to run a complex nation like ours. At d end of d day, ur bigoted vote did not matter as d moral majority of nigerians rose above their differences & banished GEJ & his clueless supporters to d dust-bin of history where they belong.
I guess OBJ, who ruled us for eight years as second chance civilian president after three years as military Head of state, was very clueful and NOT a kleptomaniac, not so
See as the man come PERSONALLY transform himself today thanks to IBB & co that he locked up his son in 2006 just to harrass his father from contesting in 2007! All hail our fellow citizen with the most clue and NOT kleptomaniac
...F A C T.. C H E C K ...
'Obasanjo and Atiku in 8 years built one UNIVERSITY each for themselves....Bells and ABTI. They built NONE for Nigerians.
Jonathan and Sambo in 4 years built 14 (FOURTEEN) new universities for all Nigerians. NONE for themselves.
NOTE: OBJ and ATIKU are now consultants/sponsors/piloters/members of APC.... They too are seeking CHANGE!!!
I choose TRANSFORMATION than this their CHANGE. What about you
datribune: dis guys hav gotten d message frm d nigerian people. WE AR TIRED OF PDP. I hope dat d bigoted, morally deficient minority who voted to keep d clueless kleptomaniac in power will tow d line of reason like dis guys hav done & apologise to nigerians 4 trying to foist on our nation a man who is clearly clueless on d solution to d myriad of problems facing our nation. dis clueless, mediocre, weak & corrupt leader has succeeded in wrecking d labour of d patriots of d G34. #PDPIsDead
Na true you talk 52% of Nigerians were tired of PDP hence they voted change of APC
Pavore9: l don't really know if Mohammed is giving back to his people but l do know that most don't. l have a cousin who is a Catholic Priest based in Austria and over the years whenever he is visiting home he came with Austrian friends who wanted to have a feel of the village life and he always come down with lots of goodies which included free medical check-ups and surgeries by his Austrian friends.
It evolved into building of a Secondary school which is fee paying but affordable but scholarship is being given to brilliant kids from indigent homes and the beneficiaries of the scholarships are told to also train one person in that school in return when they become successful in life.
This is a very nice policy and I hope it has worked so far as that community will so transform in a matter of few decades.
My cousin Priest always say if you want to develop a community, educate them as it would refine their ways of reasoning but the sad reality is most of us are self-centred, failing to find validity in being a light to others, some would prefer buying a N20m Jeep and post it on social media while the roof of the primary school they attended need only N200,000 to repair so that the pupils there can learn in a better environment!
cramjones: I wish Chuka Umanna the very best. He demonstrates the true Igbo spirit. The Jews will always continue to be blessed despite their persecution around the world. Even though you are persecuted and killed in your home country, it will never deter the successes of the Igbos!
Igbo Kewnu! eeyah!
-CramJones
From the same useless person who abused Ojukwu and his wife
AwesomelyMade: Cramjones, are you a confused fellow ?(no offence)
Yes
- he was - he is and - he will always be
a confused, lost soul.
Ordinarily he deserves pity and prayers but then given his potential to mislead our many gullible folks, he will not get either- at least not from me! Shiiiiiiiiiooooooooooooooooooorrrrrrrrrrrr!
Gboliwe: Even when I want to use my Jesus mind to atleast tolerate this lunatic, he makes it all the more impossible.
Who raised you Cramjones? You are a disgrace!
I see someone else shares my sentiments about this perpetual NUISANCE in our public space Thanks o jare!
Scamjones should tell us about his father, the late Fani Power or his former boss, OBJ for whom he was an attack dog or how much he received as Jonathan's Director of Communications.
If Nigerians should be weary of anyone between scamjones and Murray Bruce, it is clearly scamjones who is a completely and utterly useless male har'lot
himkers: This murray guy wants to become the spokesperson of the incoming senate, but God don catch am. never knew he was this loud.
More like the spokesperson of the new PDP, which seriously needs such to galvanise its image and public perception away from devilish characters like OBJ that have dominated it since 1999.
Is he as loud as LIE Mohammed or the JagbaJantis of Bourdillon
Pavore9: Mohammed owns a travelling agency in Abuja.
Yes the Sisters did waiver some fees because it wasn't easy seeing someone from that part of the country being so keen on seeing his son get the best of education despite his low financial status and for one who never had formal education.
What makes me laugh as l type this is l can remember my brother telling us of an incident that involved Mohammed when they were in primary 4, Mohammed was told to invite his father to the school by their class teacher because of an issue concerning his son and being that Mohammed's father do not understand English, Mohammed was the one translating from English to Hausa. It was during their break time that Mohammed told my brother and others that their Ghanian classteacher said something and he was translating something else to his father because if he given the correct translation, punishment awaits him at home!
Thanks a lot for this FREE education (insight) that you have given me to confirm some of my intuition.
I would like to be proven wrong but I am almost certain that Mohammed has not given back (in the form of scholarships to indigent students like he WAS-and more) to the Maryland school where he was offered the opportunity to break through in life. Would you know?
This is the part that is missing with us black people and why we continue to lag behind other races who understand that each person is placed within the context of his background and reference group irrespective of his individual success.
Just like the yoruba narrative of the vegetable seller who protested that her vegetable is not from the refuse dump DESPITE being very fresh looking, even without anyone alleging that they are.
The interpretation scenario got me laughing too Cheers, man!
Don't they ever learn from history? The North and Southwest are just friendly enemies, who only unite to fight the Igbos and later go back into enmity when there are no Igbos to fight.
I don't mean any disrespect; but I've read the story of Awolowo and Abiola to lend credence to the truth that history always repeats itself.
I pity nairaland underage Apc praise singers
What do you say about Zik's facilitation of Balewa's & Shagari's election in 1960 and 1979 respectively
When will we stop this needless TRIBAL bashing that only makes it easy for our useless leaders to continue exploiting us and deprive us of schools for ALL our kids, roads, railways, TAP water, employment etc?
