Dreambeat:
Its obvious that you do know what goes on underground,or you probably know but trying to be smart by half.Because he says he is not imposing any one and you believe him.Did you not watch the earlier video of some LG chairmen who endorsed Sanwo-Olu only because Tinubu asked them to do so.

If there are 500k registered APC members in Lagos, all 500k members will vote for the candidate of their choice in a direct primary. Are you trying to say Ambode has no support from his own party members hence must be imposed on them like in 2014 primary elections?

Dreambeat:
One man controlling a whole ethnic group.This nonsense can not happen in the part of the country where I come from, not even in a million years to come.If he attempts it, one kid from no where will say to him “ you are rich but are you the one feeding me?” At that point, it becomes case closed.

You have serious issues. In the videos posted there, the man says he's not imposing anyone again on the party as he has always been accused of doing by people like you. Now he has asked them to support and vote whomever they deem fit at all level, yet you're still jerking off on his matter.

What else do you want him to do? Kill himself? Oh, you still want him to impose Ambode on the party abi? So you can continue to accuse him of imposition.

Ask yourself this, why is Ambode afraid of Direct primaries where there is no imposition? Or perhaps you don't even understand what direct primaries means in the first place.

NoToPile:
I actually wanted to ask what is direct primaries?
Who are those that vote during th primaries?

My own little understanding is that it's it's voting process by party members to determines who gets the party ticket for a position.
Is that it?

Yes it is. Every registered member of the party votes at the primaries at their different ward levels. That was how the APC candidate in Osun emerged. Indirect was/is the commonly used method whereby only selected delegates gets to vote for the party flag bearer, and this method is the easiest to influence or hijack by bribing the delegates.

lokoventurex1:
Nice write you have here . However, i just wanted to say Ambode hasn't done badly in the last three and half years. To me he's done credibly well. Although, he made some mistakes by cancelling the regular PSP. Lagos is dirty these days, we can't deny that. I'm so sure Ambode is trying to correct that singular MISTAKE!

As regards the Direct Primaries talk, who told you Jagaban cannot still influence his loyal party members to vote against Akinwunmi? If i was Ambode, I'll do what he's doing now by trying to make the Presidency comes in. Tinubu introduced this Direct Primaries and he can still influence it badly to favour his own candidate.

Let me state here that If the Direct Primaries would hold come next week in Lagos, i doubt if Ambode would get the ticket, not because Akinwunmi has done badly, but because Tinubu would have bought party loyalist against Ambode , and this will consequently make Sanwo-Olu victorious.

If the fate of the Direct Primaries would be left to me and you in Lagos, irrespective of whatever Jagaban knows best to do, Ambode would flop whoever stands as his opponent.

I just wanted to say Tinubu still has power over the Direct Primaries as the regular ''Imposition" they used to do..

I stand to be corrected though!

Before we proceed with this discussion, can you tell me what you understand by Direct primaries?

The same Fashola and his Justice group Ambode spent the last three years trying to rubbish?

All these people that will just sit down in one room in their village hundreds of kilometers from Lagos and put into writing their own speculations and wishes as facts of what's happening in Lagos.

Esseite:
They fail to understand that Ambode is not the market man politician or the agbero politician, he is learned, liberal and enlightened and may not deem it fit to always parley or roll deep with the omoniles as he does not fit in..

Tinubu should thread carefully as despite the ethnic and tribal division of 2015, it was just less than 100k margin.

Miniso:
Y will a man just one person that calls him self jagaban determine the governor of a whole state...this is bullshit this cant happen in the south east...yoruba's shud stand up for the right of the pple and not for the selfish interest of some greedy being.....

You guys are not being fair to Tinubu and you know it. You accuse the man of god fatherism and imposition of candidates and he says fine, let's have direct primaries So everyone can test his/her popularity as against using delegates (that are easily influenced), you now say no. You want him to impose Ambode again on the party. If Ambode feels he has done so well why is he scared of direct primaries?

N1 trillion budget and all he has to show are bus stops and a dirty city?

Besides, it is silly to think Tinubu just sit down and make proclamations and there become law in Lagos. Not at all. Tinubu is only the face of powerful ruling class Ambode had failed to recognize or tried to overrun, that's why he's scared to face them now in direct primaries.

Fashola was very strict, had issues with Tinubu but still enjoyed the massive support of parry stakeholders because he got the job done. Ask yourself this, why is everyone against Ambode in Lagos, right from Alausa?

Joyfulgal:
Oh sorry dear. I skipped your post. Thanks for the offer. I am far in the south. At times when some is handicapped (permit me to use that or really needs help this is what u get). Remember some horrible stories of young maids killing their bosses. Pouring saliva/urine on food. Exhibiting some strange characters. Etc

Alright, no problem. Wish you all the best. But that woman needs to go, she's obviously a pain in the ass, something you were trying to avoid in the first place.

Zoharariel:
This union cannot last because it is built on the foundation of lust & infatuation.

Oga seer, I guess same can be said of couples who do the "doggy" pose or "ass grabbing" pre-wedding shoot?

Joyfulgal:
It's working for her, respect people's options, actions and decisions. What works for her may not work for u. We are different

Op, I had gone through your previous thread before making my first comment on your thread reason why I didn't call you lazy or joined those blasting you.

As a matter of fact, only I offered to help by suggesting someone younger (in her 20s), if you live in Lagos and around Lekki/Ajah axis. She still gets the job done but closes daily and doesn't live with you. The least you could do was offer a simple reply.

"Oh sorry, I won't be needing her", or "I'm not in Lagos" etc, but you're focused on people giving you knocks rather than who wants to help.

Don't know about you, but I find the pictures (mischievously) creative and different.

If it's not a suggestive pose, it the man grabbing the ladies butt. But this is new and we haven't seen these type before. A Peeping tom.

Acidosis:
Ladies of nowadays really need to stop digesting everything they learn from their mothers. It is not a must to have a maid. Most of the time, these women can't even afford the services of the maid, yet prefer to leave the house in order to be classified as working class-working woman. They come back home after 30 days of hustle with less than 100k salary.

Maid stays home, cook, relax, watch Africa Magic and at the end of the month, gets paid between 30-40k with other tips. ...because she works less, sometimes oga can even decide to switch after wifey must have given him a line up of complaints about body ache.

I really don't understand why women are so obsessed with maids.

Now this is deep. Some hard truths spoken here Acid. Calls for deep reflection.

I was at my older cousin's place today with my Aunt (his mom), and the maid came out to get something from the car. I barely recognized her until she walked up to the car smiling at me. Saw her around Easter last, and I tell you what, she was glowing today. Although they have three kids (under age 7, so the extra hand is needed), my cousin works mostly from home while the wifey leaves for work very early and returns late. Nobody tell me say d guy dey press the girl. She looked very relaxed but wifey was sick (reason for the visit).

Still on the above, my classmate and friend once told me there is a level of comfort her future husband must be able to provide her before he proposes as she is/was already used to that level of comfort in her dad's house. Among what she listed was a maid. Though to be fair to her, she comes from a really well to do family in Lagos.

Joyfulgal:
@ Kizzoh. Thanks.
Will begin my search as soon as possible

Hello Joy, if you're in Lagos and around Lekki/Ajah axis, I have someone I can recommend.

She's a former employee of my Aunt (live-in maid). VERY hardworking, from Akwa Ibom. Good cook, Cleans well and all that ish.

She now runs her own small foodstuff store and occasional petty trade but has a relative staying with her and managing the place.

She told me she's looking for a house help job, but won't be live-in again. She no get wahala. Na my Aunty madness make her run .lol.

Just holla if you're interested. Or anyone else.

Sworn in.. Not swears in.

cruchenutii:
Okay great write up, I don't believe you though because If what you are saying is Completely true, Buhari should be also scared that Direct primaries might disqualify him at presidency level. That is if APC Party Nationwide agrees to Direct primaries.

But I'm very sure it won't. So I still do not agree with you.

As far as I'm concerned, my PVC is a waste because Jide Sanwo-Olu is already rejoicing even when the election is 5+ Months away because he knows the election is just a public ceremony.

APC already adopted direct primaries for the presidential primaries long long Oga mi. Ask around of you aren't in the know. And that was why PDP protested the other day and even here on Nairaland, people were laughing at them wondering what their business was with another party's primaries method.

As for Lagos, Ambode's case isn't foreclosed just yet. Too many elders have tried to intervene and I believe he still has a shot. But like Tinubu stated, it was beyond him alone.

Jokerman:
So why no direct primaries for Buhari or even Remi Tinubu??

Get updated bro, APC adopted direct primaries for presidency, that's was why PDP were scared the other day shouting APC wanted to allocate figures to themselves in preparation for 2019 presidential election.

Also at the state level, Lagos APC also adopted direct primaries for everyone and this include Remi Tinubu. So don't think it's for Ambode alone.

miqos03:
please who is the leader of justice forum in Lagos ?

Fashola, (founded by his late dad) and that's the group the other contestant, Hamzat belongs to.

clefstone:
Tinubu's anointed. But Lagos boys dey form levels those days in UNIBEN. So with all their levels one man is using their head like this. It's either Tinubu has the greatest jazz man ever or Lagosians highly overrate themselves

But it will be okay for Tinubu to impose Ambode on the party again like he did for the 2015 elections abi?

Tinubu has no preferred candidate and left alone for him, Ambode should continue. But party members said no, let's go for direct primaries and decide that. By this, every registered APC party member (both of Justice, Mandate and Ambode's group) will vote as against selected delegates which can easily be influenced.

Ambode shouldn't fret because of direct primaries since he has done so well. And besides, second term is not a guaranteed right of any politician.

Having said that, Nigerians should be happy for the introduction/adoption of direct primaries by the APC because they'll be the ones to benefit from it in the long run and it is the easiest way to end god fatherism from our politics.

From subsequent elections, more states and parties will have no choice to adopt the direct primaries method and elected officials will struggle to live up to the billing as they know they cannot influence delegates and their performances/track records, will speak for them.

Rapmoney:
They are here again!

Baba Rapmoney, greetings to you sir. Baba it's been a while you created a thread to share your wisdom with us o.

desmond2pk:
Never have I seen any governor as useless as ambode and rochas.
The duo are visionless and politically self destructive. I don't know the reason ambode scrapped lawma and replaced it with a useless company that can't even clean a room talkless of a whole street.
The only thing his brain told him to build in Lagos is bus stops. And some idiots are hailing him.

My brother, the thing tire me o. Sometimes earlier in the year, I blasted him about this bus stop issue, people called me ipob. Now if i talk, the same ipob people are asking me since when did i know Ambode is a failure?

Over N1 trillion budget and all he has to show are bus stops? Na wa o. By this time, Fashola was already commissioning schools, hospitals, low cost housing schemes, fixing and cleaning roads etc.

Lol. Ambode's issue is not with Tinubu. Ambode's issue is with Lagos APC and even just the mandate group.

That is why Tinubu cannot impose him again this time around. Besides his abysmal performance vis-a-vis available resources, he stepped on so many toes, tried to rubbish Fashola (whom he has always deliberately failed to recognize as a Lagos ex governor), very pompous, kept a fellow SW governor waiting in his office etc..

Also, if Visionless Scape had lived up to the billing, it would have been ok that he cancelled LAWMA which puts food in the belle of thousands of party faithfuls and their families. This includes all those women we used to see early mornings adorning the Lawma's orange dress cleaning the streets. You don't expect a foreign company to know how to clean Isale Eko like the locals.

Party faithfuls were groaning but bade their time till this moment to show him something. Like Tinubu himself said, this is beyond him.

So you can't accuse Tinubu of imposition in one breathe, and in the second breathe you want him to impose Ambode on the party when he's clearly not wanted by the whole party faithfuls. If Ambode believes he has done so well like the people supporting him would want us to believe, then he shouldn't fret about the direct primaries.

comshots:
All the delegates who will vote in the primary of the party are tinubu's godchildren.They will definitely vote against ambode.Didnt you read in the paper that tinubu has told top party members not to support ambode?There is still interference of godfather in apc party primary.

Sorry, there are no delegates. Every APC member in Lagos will vote. That's why it's direct primaries. Only indirect primaries uses delegates. Ambode knows he hasn't done well and is not popular in APC that's why he is running about.

Sissy... Effeminate mam.. No wonder he wears pink and uses a pink bed.

obi4eze:
Ita Enang has tactically dodged telling us if the President is averse to the use of an electronic card reader.

Wait o, you didn't understand what you read up there abi what exactly? The electronic card reader was not added to what was sent to the president for assent by the NASS rather than ask the NASS members why they deliberately omitted it, you're asking if the president is averse to it.

How can he be against what was not even given to him in the first place.

Anyways in case you missed it, the president has already answered your question, he is not against it. Rather Saraki led NASS are so they can write figures in the SS/SE as usual

Yes he is free to try his best but he will loose woefully, aside the fact that rivers is PDP he is no match for wike.

Chri08102702694:
No be by mouth. Rivers is PDP. Take note.

Yet the last PDP senator dumped the party for APC. Meaning APC has all three senators. No worry, Amaechi and Flag will handle Wike with the same Federal might that brought him to power.

bighorlus:
Has anyone observed that politics especially in Lagos is not won because we the voters actually voted for a particular candidate? The politics behind our elections goes beyond our basic discussions on several social media platforms.
My opinion is that PDP cannot win Lagos.
The reason I said so is simple.
1. APC has federal power and will mobilize all the necessary forces to ensure that PDP is handicapped and wount be able to play the same game APC will play to win the election.
2. Massive rigging and bribery across all centres.
3. Lastma , neighborhood watch, market women,
Agberos, and all other parasatals under the state structure are all loyal to APC and will not allow PDP come in and spoil there source of livelihood.
4. Tinubu actually has a hold on Lagos . He has proven that over and over again.



My opinion. I stand to be corrected.

My brother, I just dey laugh since. Even Buhari no fit intervene for this matter. It can only be resolved in-house.

APC Lagos has long gone beyond just Tinubu. It's a Cartel of which he is just the face of the Cartel. Understanding that every single public Car parking space (in the markets), every bus stop, every route, every street, every estate has been shared same way LAWMA wastes collection i.e the PSP thingy Ambode canceled in favour of Vision Scape.

Like the part of your post I highlighted, all these are part of the ways the party utilizes in servicing party chieftains from the grassroots to top level.

Ambode's cancellation of LAWMA and the attempt to remove public transporters (danfo) is being seen as an affront to the leaders of the party (not just Tinubu) as they believe (and rightly so) that he wants to form a new structure. That is why the support for the new guy is very loud

slivertongue:
Madam stop demarketin ur community. its d uninformed who reason dat way. just try 2market ur community &attract progress

Oga, how is she de-marketing her community by what she said?

Is this to say everyone commenting on this topic up there didn't read the article or read but just didn't understand?

oluwaseunla:
It is generally advised that the drive wheel should be off the ground when towing. This means that for FWD, the two front wheels should be off the ground, and for RWD, the the rear wheels should be off the ground. For 4WD/AWD, it is advisable to use a flat bed.

If you must tow the car with the drive wheels on the ground however, the gear selector must be in NEUTRAL, the distance to be towed must not exceed 15 miles (25 km), and the towing speed must not exceed 25 mph (40 km/h).

Errr, practise the second paragraph at your own risk.

Thanks for this Seun. I thought it was the right thing to do but just had to be sure and get expert opinion.

Please just to be clear and to learn for future references, how does one tow an automatic car? Let's assume you're travelling and it breakdowns on the highway and it's already late and you can't afford to leave the car on the highway?

Ps: We've owned only manual trannies and only recently added one auto tranny.

Just last month on a trip from Kaduna to Lag, my elder bro and old boy had a breakdown, somewhere before Gwags and had to tow into Gwags. The car has a manual transmission. But assuming it was auto, how should they have done it?

Buterflyle0:
This is the only sensible comment here. They at NASS excluded card readers in the bill and buhari refused to sign it because its obvious they intended to rig using that loophole.

They then turn around and blame buhari for something they deliberately did not include.

Bunch of liars who call themselves opposition

Without the card readers, they can successfully come up with figures like the last elections.

A welcome development. Na their money so pay them. Even the Good Books says a worker deserves his wages.

My company has been owing just last month's salary and today at the office my subordinates were just staring at me and asking Oga how far na. Nothing dey house o, E don red for us. School don resume etc.

I just gave them hope that this week when I wasn't even sure. Lol.

But as I just got to my gate this evening, alert enter. Though I have no responsibility and wasn't exactly broke myself (cos of plenty side hustles), I was happy for my colleagues and their families. Same way I share in the joy of this news for Osun workers

So nobody should mention vote buying here. Na d workers money. What better time to get all your backlog of salaries than when kids are resuming school.

richidinho:
a bill for the nigerian law to recognise card reader is left on mr president's table stranded

The card reader was not included in the bill that was why the presidency rejected it. Wike and the PDP are only playing to the gallery. The question should be why did the senators exclude the card readers from the bill?

https://www.vanguardngr.com/2018/09/no-card-reader-in-current-electoral-act-amendment-bill-presidency/?_e_pi_=7%2CPAGE_ID10%2C8667956702

Something tells me Saraki is actually working towards a Kwankwaso or Tambulwa ticket by joining the race. How is this possible?

My theory is that he and who ever he is working for (i.e between Tambulwa or Kwankwaso) realizes Atiku is/was the man to beat and that his support comes mainly from the SE (whose leaders in PDP openly endorsed him sometimes back). So Saraki also knowing he is loved by the SE simply joined to kill and spoil Atiku's chances by splitting the SE delegates votes between himself and Atiku.

SW delegates are likely to vote Tambulwa over Atiku/Kwankwaso and Wike's SS delegates too would votes Tambulwa added to whatever votes he'll get from his and other zones. I think Tambulwa is the man.
