Yes he did promised to stay out of politics, but GEJ has made a good move and should be commended.

Just thinking if there is anything to miss should I leave Nigeria today.
I'll definately miss living in Lagos.

What is happening to Airport road. The contractor is doing a good job but i hear the govt revoked the contract for political reasons. Adams might be good but he is too vengeful. Remember what he did to those commissioners who lost their areas to PDP in the last election.
Adams finish airport road please

The Election Petitions Tribunal sitting in Ado Ekiti, Ekiti State capital, yesterday nullified the election of Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN, member of the House of Representatives, Mr. Oyetunde Ojo and ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to conduct a fresh election within 90 days.

Ojo who is an in-law to former Lagos State Governor, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, is representing Ekiti West, Ijero and Efon Federal Constituency in the House was dragged to the tribunal by the National Transformation Party, NTP, candidate, Mr. Bamidele Peter.

Peter and his party are challenging the victory of Ojo on the ground that INEC unlawfully excluded his name and the party logo in the ballot papers during the April 26 general elections.

Delivering its judgment, the tribunal in a unanimous judgment read by Justice Patrick Uhuo, dismissed the grounds of defense by the respondents (Ojo and the INEC), noting that their defense was incompetent having been based on technicalities and that “the tribunal is concerned purely with post-election matters and will keep to that.”

The tribunal said: “The evidences before the tribunal show that the first petitioner (Bamidele Peter) was validly nominated by the second petitioner, NTP,” stressing that “the tribunal has no doubt that the petitioner was unlawfully excluded from the election of April 26, 2011.”

Flanked by the chairman of the panel, Justice Ibrahim Bako and another member, Mrs. Bukunola Adebiyi, Justice Uhuo, said “consequently, the election held on April 26, 2011 and the return of Oyetunde Ojo as the winner is hereby nullified according to the provisions of Section 140 of the Electoral Act. “The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, is hereby ordered to conduct fresh election including the name and logo of the first and second petitioner within 90 days.”

Reacting to the judgment, counsel to the petitioner, Mr. Obafemi Adewale lauded the tribunal for upholding the rule of law and justifying the confidence reposed on it by the petitioner

However, counsel to the respondents, Mr. Niyi Idowu, said his client would appeal the judgment.

Who is after Tinubu?

Read the link provided carefully and you'll understand why as a southerner, even with high score your chances into unity schools are lower.
I was a victim too, did common entrance in late 80's in Kaduna, all of the brilliant chaps were none hausas and despite their high scores they were denied admission while the other guys with lower scores were admitted because of state of origin.
Nigeria, which way forward?

Just listening to the minister of state lamenting the rule of admission into Nigerian unity schools. It is pitiable that a developing country as Nigeria will admit 30% students to its unity school base on merit and the other 70% base on other factors such as federal character, educationally less developed state, bla bla bla.
I really weep for Nigeria.

Its a hoax, Nigerians can really belive anything. Dem say dem say

Baba gave a lifetime of service to the nation. GOD bless and abide with him

This is good for Baba, time to relax with one of the great legend of stand up comedy.
Abeg how can I get an invite for the event.

Q: what is our employment strategy? GEJ: Dangote says he'll employ 2000 new drivers for Ibeshe plant

BEAF
Being Emotional Against Facts
lol

^^^
first time i'll see you concede to facts.

Say what you like. GEJ deserves some credit for this one, i'm begining to trust him.

@Op. Even though i disagree with you, I like the way you responded respectfully, its a good one. Its not sufficient to say that the extremist ignore a passage for selfish gain, there are passages that clearly support such motives and intentions.

Very nice and touching folk tale. Keep it up you can be a great fiction writer someday.

Sorry, NLanders, I heard the info from a talk show (not news) on a radio station. It turned out to be mere speculation from some guys who are clearly tired of work or don't know the effect of such misinformation.
Please dust your shoes, iron your shirt and go to work on monday.
Apollogies!

The federal government has added Monday to next week's public holiday. This is to mourn those who lost their lives in the bomb blast in Abuja yesterday.
Heard this from a radio station.
Can any one confirm this please?

Waste of bandwidth.
mtcheeeeew!

@Poster.
So what's the wonder here. Obasanjo through his wife Stella, established more radio stations than any govt we ever had. He believed in radio and doesn't hide it. If you have a problem with that, 'go and hug a new transformer'.

At last, thank God oh. So Mikel, how much did you cough out?

EXCUSE ME: I want a private jet, so help me God
By Victor Ehikhamenor

Yes, the title of this week’s piece is not a mistake and if by the time it is published, my editor has changed the headline, two of us will put our legs in one trouser.
Flying Aero Contractors to Benin City last Friday has temporarily cured me of rolling my eyes at our president, mega-pastors and Rotimi Amaechi, Governor of Rivers State, for buying pimped-out private jets. Matter of fact, I pray that Governor Amaechi has taken delivery of his jet and people should leave him alone, especially now that we are in the rainy season and things get quite rough when landing with commercial or old planes.

Last Friday I decided to pay a weekend visit to Benin where our comrade governor, Adams Oshiomhole, is on the other side of the labour fence now and threatening fire and brimstone on his former hoi-polloi comrades! This life na wa sha, but let’s move on. No, but seriously, labour movement in Edo is pretty much screwed, because Oshiomhole wrote the tactics book on how labour unions should arm-twist both federal and state governments in Nigeria and now that he is in government, Edo workers can’t figure out how to frighten a masquerade with another masquerade.

I boarded the plane and flying makes me queasy as if I was doing mental arithmetic in front of my headmaster, Akwa Duru, God bless his departed soul. But to reduce my tension, I decided to dream of the ogbono soup and pounded yam my uncle’s wife had promised me once I land. As I was salivating on the thought of eating dry fish, the plane shook. Brothers and sisters, it takes only a small bump for my palms to start flooding like Lekki during rainy season. I kept telling myself, Calm down; it is only a 30-minute journey. Little did I know we were in for a good three-hour ride, as if the air has suddenly become Benin-Ore road.

The pilot commanded us to fasten our seat belts and ordered the air hostesses to stop all activities. When air hostesses are ordered to sit down, it cannot possibly be an Owambe situation. “Ladies and gentlemen, we have some planes ahead of us trying to land in Benin. As soon as they do, we too can land. Enjoy the free ride till we are able to land. Haw-haw-haw!” Very funny, comedy central for the pilot; hellish ride for the passengers. And I just don’t know why I am so pteromerhanophobic when flying locally.

For what seemed like eternity the pilot never spoke to us again. At one point we were so close to landing that I saw rooftops and erosion in Benin. But within seconds the pilot put the plane on gear five and went back into the clouds. Suddenly, a vigorous vibration started. It was time for me to start forgiving all my real and imagined enemies and cancelling debts. Before I knew it, two women in front of me jump-started a Full Gospel ministry. As the plane danced, one of the women, Pastor Woman, fired on strong prayers, of how God has promised His children power over untimely death. Meanwhile, I was struggling to find words from the Bible besides “Peace, be still”. Mind you when you are facing turbulence in the air, there are certain words you just don’t want to include in prayer, e.g., Die! Die! Die!

After forever and the church service had gone into full swing, the pilot finally said we were returning to Lagos, because we couldn’t land. Now Pastor Woman and the congregation did not see any need for praying in regular English anymore; all communication with our Creator was now rendered in tongues. At this point my prayers became audible but monosyllabic. The pilot never updated us again while we were worshiping and binding the devil and the plane was doing Bonsue Fuji! A gentleman begged profusely to use the toilet, gasps and moan were heard at every violent shake the plane did. I had already sweated out all my bodily fluids through my palms.
To cut short story long, we landed safely and the plane erupted in high praise and worship songs like we were having a child dedication. The pilot asked us to come down so they could refuel because there was “no emergency service to watch over the plane while it was being refuelled with passengers inside”. Hmmm. He said he was going back to Benin again. I ran out of the plane and bade him safe journey.

Why do I want a private jet when I am not the president or the governor of any state or pastor of any church? Because the Aero pilot did not communicate enough to either calm our fears or let us know what the deal was. His two updates during a three-hour ordeal were not enough. So, in my private jet I want to have access to the cockpit and lay hands on my pilot if need be. If you are reading this and the Lord has touched your heart, buy me a Canadian-made Bombardier Global Express XRS. Remember God loves a cheerful giver.
