Many thanks for your link, which I have now bookmarked.

Goldenboy007:
You seems to miss the point, Fayose is a crook, a criminal caught red-handed by his godfather, he was chased into exile and now just few years later has come back to become a governor again Poverty is a bastard!!! Oh lord! What generation of misfits are we breeding!!! Are these current youths a punishment for the errors our parents committed?

My point is Fayose would not have been able to be voted in IF Fayemi and APC had worked for the people hence limited poverty both economically and of the mind.

kskpoundz:
Almost every youth here is a victim of having a corrupt mind.doing special center 4 Olevel exams,bribing lecturers to pass,bribing to win a contest etc. 80 % of our youth are corrupt. What difference will dey mak if dey bcom precido?

Is president the ONLY position of political leadership in our country
Don't you think that the LGA Councillor, for example is also a political leader?

40% reduction in Osun’s federal allocation unjustifiable – Aregbesola

www.punchng.com/news/40-reduction-in-osuns-federal-allocation-unjustifiable-aregbesola/

* Does Aregbesola not know the way to the Supreme court
** Was his state Finance commissioner not part of the FAAC that allocates Niger Delta oil revenue money every month?

We should learn to separate PROPAGANDA from real issues of governance, otherwise we show ourselves to not only be clueless but also very daft

Obiagelli:
“If truly the country is not broke, then the real allocation to states should be given to them,”
Governor Okorocha stressed.

Illegal Deductions
He wondered why the PDP governors were not complaining about the dwindling revenue, urging the Federal Government to addressed the issue
and not politicise it.

Ditto for Okorocha.

Obiagelli:
If you have what it takes

How old was Gowon, Murtala, Buhari when they became Head of State, Ministers and state governors etc ?
What special thing did they have beyond the guns bought with civilians' tax money

django1:
If you weren't such an hypocrite, you would have made sense.

How am I an hypocrite, please?

Obiagelli:
Gej should pay states their allocation, this is no excuse for Oshiomole though. Disappointed.

Are you not PATHETIC Why continue to make excuses for the profligacy of our state governors
Did any state tell you that they have not received their DUE monthly allocation from Abuja derived from Niger Delta oil revenue?

If they could drag the FEDERAL government to court over the Sovereign Wealth Fund, don't you think they would have dragged the FG to court again if indeed they were not being fully paid as you allege?

Governors Go to Court Over Sovereign Wealth Fund

Hahaha...as if you saw my first reaction when I read anonimi's post! No red colored pipe borne water? Dude must have woken up with an head ache.

I see that I have many silent, secret followers

You guys should know that there is a time & place for everything.
BTW, do you think TAP water should not be available all over in every state

mapet:
.....of all your vociferous illogical postings, I'm surprised you didn't regurgitate your same ole warped fables "pipe borne water..."

Thanks for doing so on my behalf.

Beauty of democracy. APC ain't like the so-called 'Democratic' Party that has refused to practise what they preach. The form would be presented to him immediately he gets to the National Secretariat with his teller. Not like that party whose account was credited with N24m, but refused to sell the nomination form to those who deposited the cash claiming they only printed one [for the clueless guy]!

I thought it was your JagaBandit who paid $5,000 for his'golden invitation' to Obama's second term nomination convention in Charlotte, NC!

Did he also tell you how many other candidates they sold forms to Shebi the man dey yarn us tori sey dem don get am for alliance with Obama's party after his 'golden' attendance

Bunch of HYPOCRITE clowns leading their clueless followers.

Sincere9gerian:
It seems Fashola is just playing cheap politics with Lagosians because the current electricity laws and regulations allows state governors to build power plants, embed it locally and distribute it to any target people locally without going through any national grid. This is the current situation. Fashola should stop telling wicked lies. No law stops him from building a power plant that will power ikeja for instance and distribute it using the ikeja distribution company which is now a private entity

He is playing the politics of being selected as Buhari's second fiddle aka running mate hence aresa is on overdrive for the past few days or so.

Let's wish them plenty of luck.

neenar:
Mr. crayon, you should seek it first. Attached below is a screenshot from Ironsi's Wikipedia page, and it says nothing about Gowon leading the coup.

And conveniently the CoAS was unreachable, abi
Novice confirmed indeed.

Enjoy your state of blissful ignorance!

neenar:
Yes na! Buhari didn't take part in the coup that brought him in, so also Gowon. The major players in the overthrowing of Shehu Shagari's government were David Mark, T.Y Damjuma and a few others.

Gowon took part in the counter-coup of July 1966.
In all your getting, get knowledge.

For those willing to understand more about our country =>

APC e-maggots say GMB was not part of the planning of the 1983 coup that sacked Shagari's government. They tell us that he was, in fact, invited by the planners to become head of state after the coup. Well, in this abridged interview, Tanko Yakassai insists that Buhari was fully aware of the plot and that some of the meetings of the coup plotters, were, in fact, held in his then residence in Jos.


Q. In our last edition of Rariya newspaper, former Vice President Alex Ekwueme has denied the allegation made by Buhari’s government against that of Shagari saying it was toppled because of widespread corruption. He said it was the Southern papers which were mainly owned by top UPN stalwarts that were spreading the false rumours. Since you were in that government; what do you have to say?


What he said is true. There is widespread corruption even now, but the newspapers only focus their attention wherever they want, not necessarily where the corruption is taking place. You see newspaper looking the other way, even if they knew something wrong is happening in a particular place because of certain interests.

During Shagari’s tenure, only two or three ministers were accused. One of them fled to England after the coup, but don’t forget that while he was there, he was being fed, but the rumour then was that he had amassed lots of dollars. Another one had to sell his property to feed his family after he returned. That is proof enough that the allegations of corruption against them were not true.

After the military coup, we had soldiers who stole so much that up to now, no one has stolen as much as they did. I don’t have to mention names. Just check critically yourself, from the time of Gowon to date, between the military guys and civilians like Shagari whom we were in government together with, and whom we have been in politics with for over 60 years, who stole the most?
Shagari began politics with the Sokoto youth party, and I with Kano youth party in 1946, and Shagari began before me by one year, and he is older than me with one year.

Go and see at least three people who started politics in that era, people such as Shagari, Ali Monguno and Maitama Sule; they have held all sorts of positions, but go and meet people close to them and let them tell you how much each has in his bank account. I swear to you none of them has more than three million naira in his account, except may be one person, and even you see it there, may be someone gave it to them. They were just engaged in politics and not stealing.


Shagari and Alex Ekwueme were investigated for more than twenty months, at the end of the day, Justice Ayo Irekefe said Alex Ekwueme went into politics a rich man, and left as a poor man. They investigated Shagari extensively, but could not establish a case of stealing a dime on him before they let him be. But we saw what the person investigating him did afterwards, he is still extremely rich. If you read the history of Shagari, I have a copy, I can give you; in chapter 17, the writers used about 70 pages discussing what they did to Shagari.


Q. Let’s go back to the issue of coup, we were on it before we diverted to your stay in prison. Where were we?



In the book I was telling you about, they said Obasanjo told Umaru Shinkafi, that shortly after the election of 1979, some military officers went to him and informed him not to hand over to Shagari. Obasanjo told them that he had already told the world he was going to hand over power, and that he inherited the office, after a coup attempt that was not successful. He stated that his predecessor promised to hand over, and it means he must hand over.

Obasanjo also told them that he has initiated an election process which was successful. Shagari won, people went to court and he won there as well. ‘So on what grounds should I tell the world I would not hand over to him? Who do you even want me to hand over to? And they said, ’hand over to Buhari’!’

So even before power was handed over to Shagari, the military attempted to steal it and hand over to Buhari. So it wasn’t about bribery and corruption or not to hand over to Alex Ekwueme. I am not the first person to say this; the boys who published Shagari’s book said it first. But, I have also relayed it in my book. And I will give you a copy to go and read.

And since his assumption of power by Shagari, there were several attempts to topple him until they eventually succeeded. It was revealed in that book that the military had attempted to stage a coup even before the second election in 1983. They sought the advice of one of their senior officer who had retired, he told them he supported the idea of a coup, but if they did it before the election, Awolowo would say it was because he was billed to win the election, and the Yoruba owns the newspapers and most editors at the time were also Yoruba and so they would give it widespread publicity such that the world would reject the coup. He advised them to let the election take place first, before they do whatever they want to do.

There was also a revelation in the book that General Domkat Bali’s wife thought her husband was having an affair when she noticed that he always came home late, unlike him. When her suspicion became too much, one day he told her that he was not having an affair, but he was always coming back late because they were meeting in Buhari’s house to stage a coup. Buhari was the GOC in Jos at the time, and he told her not to tell anyone. Incidentally, Domkat Bali’s wife is related to the wife of Solomon Lar, the then Governor of Plateau State. She realised that a coup would affect her relatives’ husband, and she could not take it, because she feared he could be killed. So, she told Lar’s wife, and Lar’s wife also told her husband. It happened that Shagari was going to open the school in Kuru. Solomon told Shagari that he had something to tell him, but Shagari advised him to wait until after the event.

After the event, Solomon Lar told Shagari what he was told at the Presidential lodge in Jos, he mentioned Domkat Bali’s wife as the source of the information. Lar said he had wanted to bring up the issue at the meeting of the National Security Committee, but when he realised that he is not the Commander in Chief, he thought it best to wait, since Shagari is also coming to Jos. Shagari now informed Solomon Lar to go and tell Buhari that this is what he heard, that he was planning a coup. But Lar said I can only do that if you let me inform him that the message came from you. Shagari agreed to that. So when they met with Buhari while they were seeing off President Shagari, Solomon Lar excused Buhari aside and said he wanted to see him, and would come see him at home. But Buhari said how can you a governor come to my house? Lar insisted that he would go. So he went to Buhari’s house and informed him that it was Shagari that sent him to let him know that there was a rumour going round that they were planning a coup.

Buhari said it was not true, there was nothing like that. He asked Lar to go and assure Shagari that it was not true. After Lar left, Buhari called Umaru Shinkafi because they were friends and asked him to meet as soon as possible in Kaduna. Umaru Shinkafi informed Shagari and he was given an aircraft to take him to Kaduna. When they met, Buhari told Shinkafi that he was going to retire since the Commander in Chief does not trust him anymore. There was a time, the military authorities wanted Buhari transferred to Abeokuta but people like Umaru Dikko kicked against it because they said bringing someone like Buhari closed to the seat of power is dangerous. That was why Shagari asked that Buhari be transferred to Jos.

He was very angry with that decision because he felt, he was not trusted. So the second incident made him tell Shinkafi that he was going to retire, since no one trusted him anymore. Shinkafi, in his capacity as the Security Adviser to Shagari, informed Buhari that he knew the president trusted Buhari, so he should not think of retiring. He went back and informed Shagari that Buhari said he should not worry; there was no cause for alarm.

That was what prompted Buhari’s group; they realised that the issue had begun to leak, so they had to strike early. But even before this incident, they had also planned to topple the government on the day Shagari was sworn-in for his second term. In fact Umaru Shinkafi even though did not come out to tell the president that he suspects something was wrong, advised the president to wear a bullet proof vest on his way to the inauguration. Shagari asked him why? I will not wear it. It got to a point Umaru Shinkafi was even shedding tears before Shagari agreed to wear it. In the book, they quoted Babangida as saying they were aware of all this, but Shagari’s people did not know that plans had changed.

Before then, all plans had been perfected and a plane had even been dispatched to Jos to fetch Buhari with instruction to wear his full military regalia, and text of his national speech was already given to him for his inputs before 1st October, 1983. Why they changed their minds, no one knows.This means that they had planned the coup even before the one Solomon Lar got wind of and informed Shagari.

Eziachi:
About the 1983 coup. From the history of Nigerian military, it is a well known fact that Buhari had never participated in any coup planning or execution till date, no matter what people choose to say because of politics. I get that.

Too many sentimental novices around here.
Have you read what happened in July 1966, such as this extract

VoodooDoll:
Every four years Buhari comes round to try to rule Nigeria. I have met him before and I must say he is very self-centred.

Does anybody know if Buhari has apologised for his part in the July, 1966 coup?

"According to late Major General Garba (rtd), others involved in planning in the South include Captain JN Garba, Lt. William Walbe and Lt. Paul Tarfa (Federal Guards), Lts. Muhammadu Buhari and John Longboem (2nd battalion), Lts. Pam Nwatkon (Abeokuta garrison, Recce), Lts Jerry Useni,Ibrahim Bako and Garba Dada(4th battalion, Ibadan), and Lt. Shehu Musa Yar'Adua (Adjutant, 1st battalion, Enugu)."

"By the time Muhammed got to Ikeja, Captain Martin Adamu, Lts. Nathan, Nassarawa, Muhammadu Buhari, Alfred Gom, Longboem and a bunch of NCOs were already in control of the battalion, having executed several Igbo soldiers and officers (including Major B Nnamani, one of the company commanders) and arrested many others by cordoning off the quartermaster section of the barracks or grabbing soldiers as they came out for morning PT.The battalion commander, Lt. Col. Henry Igboba, narrowly escaped a
dragnet deployed around his house by Lt. Longboem and got away.

Muhammed reportedly gave orders to stop the killing, and focus instead on securing the perimeter as well as approach roads and taking measures to ensure the eventual success of their activities."

There comes a time when anonimi becomes a guest on read only mode. There comes a time when mogide, phockphockman, stebell, pointB and other PDP trolls pretend to be blind. Such times only come when their pay-master and party has been exposed to be liars and frauds. Such time comes when it is seen that Boko Haram is PDP in every form.

Keep stalking!

Where is that fool called Idumuose? Come and see what you call an ordinary head injury.

Please how do you guys plan to start donations? TEHN should please do something!

Don't you think that the progressive administration of Fashola that has raised IGR by over 34 times since 1999 should have adequate social security safety net for these type of cases?

Is this not how it is done in those civilised places where many Lagosians are hiding as socio-economic EXILES
Abi na by physical projects such as TOLLED government roads and bridges that a place becomes civilised?

Fayose's thugs recently unleashed mayhem on Ekiti people, some properties were destroyed and people beaten mercilessly! Perhaps some of the victims were those that voted without conscience, people who sold their votes for bags of rice ! Life is already paying them back in their own coins!

I thought Fayemi also distributed rice for votes =>

Fayemi and APC had the option of working for the people for four years but preferred to rely on propaganda and shiny projects while blasting the president.

I believe the electricity problem will steadily be resolved with privatisation and serious support for the investors by this Jonathan/Sambo administration.
