I can see u are anti Jonathan. but watch ur tongue ain't shutting up.

like I said before u are entitled to ur opinion, and same with me......if u like call me anti Jonathan's family,non of my problem,infact that is not an issue to discuss because I owed u no apology. .....I only asked u to prove to me that only ur vote made Jonathan the president and if u can't I still repeat u KEEP SHUT.....and I don't see how that is an insult. ....u claimed anyone against the president lack respect, and u can't prove to me how......as if Jonathan didn't canvassed for their votes 2011,I need u to proof to me how only ur vote amount to over 24million counted for GEJ!

ALKARULEZ615:
wicked

I sure say dem go give thanksgiving for church say dem boo president.

Their mates dey library, dem dey boo president....

do u know why OAU was named great ife? if not go and research on that history out of sentiment, after that I'm Damn sure u will not think this way again....the word Great ife is meant forOAU ife,other universities copied that ,not trying to ridicule other university students apology to those affected,but to tell u OAU is not just called Great ife for fun,and protest was part of the reasons. ....but please check for that history that's only if u care to know!
thanks

story for the gods
u guys are that said u booed GEJ if what you saying true, are clueless and don't have respect for the president. no matter what, Jonathan till 2019. am so pissed right OAU have really loss its glory........am voting for Jonathan 2015, well OAU cannot speak for the rest of Nigeria student because will know what will want. who quote me negatively die well

what rubbish

well u are entitled to ur opinion. ...but the fact still remain that the president was booed!
u can call anyone in OAU to confirm, that's if u care .....the post of the president is subject to scrutiny,that doesn't mean he was disrespected and if u don't want any public criticism, then stay away from public position and don't contest, but the moment u decided to do so,then expect public outcry if u are not on the right track.......mind u even Jesus Christ was condemned. .....so who are u,to judge people's reaction from ur sentimental angle?remember some of this students voted for Jonathan 2011,and they ve right to ask him what he did and doing with their votes,afterall if u gave a child money to do something for u,u will need to hear the results, unless u proved to us that it's only ur vote that brought Jonathan to power ,but if u can't do that please and please KEEP SHUT! !!

generaldre:
Just I said yesterday in my post "AS GEJ STORMS OAU" OAU Students gave GEJ d treatment meted against OBJ. We're non-partisan but we support anyone with good credentials and leaders. We booed GEJ and we made sure he heard us. Inspite of the tight security, we blocked the road and made sure our letter got to him personally by hand before he left. He came to have meeting with council of obesity and shared money to them. Other politicians were there too. I sighted two sons of Obanikoro, PDP chairman (Adamy Muazu) and others. All in all, GEJ saw in people's eyes that we didn't like him.

of the GREATEST IFE!!! either we like it or not OAU students will never accept mediocrity, it's not their fault, just the way we were trained as a student of OAU....I remembered the days of SABURI,Ribadu will never forget the punishment meted on him,when he was told to go turn back from the gate and he proved to be stubborn, even as strong as OBJ he did everything to desist from coming to ife,even when invited on some occasions .......the learned students knows when u re a performer or not....this is not about sentiment. ....but about the general well being of the people u re voted to serve....mind u OAU is an institution build on a socialist ideology and GEJ shows to be the direct opposite,a typical capitalist,where only the rich are profiting and exploiting even from the poor day in day out.....so it's understandable when students of a great citadel of learning refused and rejected a govt of the rich,for the rich and from the rich!
on this case I'm proud of the students of the ONLY AFRICA UNIVERSITY (OAU) on this lofty achievement!!!

Descartes:
Is it the same Buhari that bribed some delegates in Owerri?

Or are you referring to another Buhari?

all I know is that I'm giving him my vote as u also have ur right to vote ur choice . ...atleast u too know that .entitled to that opinion! !!

Osakah24:
Obama wasn't a disaster? and the democrats lost their majority in the congress because of his policies. You are entitled to your opinion but if you play with children you definitely will get urself stained. one wonder how "mr poorman" keeps company with the formally corrupt pdp dis-enfranchised, angry,expired politicians.

I'm entitled to my opinion Mr man... I ve my ideology and u ve urs.....u don't need to school me about who to vote for....I promised u an educated mind like me knows quite alright what is right or wrong. .... I voted against buhari several times,though thank God my vote doesn't still go to GEJ despite that,if not I will be crying and feeling guilty for joining hand to support mediocrity and corruption personified president,I ve never vote along party,tribal lines b4,because none of them feed me...pat utomi, ribadu all had my vote b4 .......to tell u my voting ideology if u care to know....but this time around the only vote I'm going to cast on the upcoming election by God's grace will go for buhari, and I'm 100% in charge of my vote.....Obama u said if u re enlightened enough about America politics was generally accepted in his first tenure though the election was fierce contested,and that is the beauty of democracy,and he lost most of the support during the 2nd tenure unlike the Nigeria president that has been failing from onset. ...infact remember under normal circumstances he will be spending another 2terms now(6trave in power)still yet little or non to show for it and stealing is not corruption,don't know what u want to talk about buhari, but as for me and my family we need change and we are going for him... .still continue with ur gospel of hatred,sincerely speaking u can definitely hoodwinked a lot mind like u.....BUT NOT ME and my family....we don't support failure and if buhari failed we keep on changing our voting pattern,until we meet successfully vote the right one!
the name of the game is CHANGE!!!

Osakah24:
Its what is obtained anywhere in the world. Why was Obama the only choice of the democratic party in his second term bid?

Obama wasn't a total disaster in his first time,unlike Jonathan though that's my personal opinion which I'm entitled to......to answer ur question ur reason for Jonathan candidacy under PDP,is also the reason why BUHARI is adopted as APC flagbearer,the different is just that STEALING IS CORRUPTION under buhari, unlike Jonathan that encourage stealing!

soroptimist:
Coming from accursed Femi Aribisala,it might even have come from Femi Fani Kayode but the fact remains that Tinubu's political sagacity can not be understood by lowlifers and children of hate across the Niger who wants to help the bereaved cry more than themselves

To the political lilliputs and infants on NL.........in the past political blocs or alliance amongst the regions and zones have always been the basis of how political parties gets votes

The North+The SE+SS have always been political bed fellows........while the SW+NC have always gone together.......that was why Pa Awolowo couldn't become the President because the Igbos have always aligned with the Hausa they insult today to edged Awolowo out knowing fully well that they too cant deliver the Presidency to any of their sons like Azikiwe

Awolowo in 1979 didnt even mind nominating a VP candidate or becoming one to Azikiwe in order for the SE and SW to merge politically despite the fact that Awo's AG or UPN always have more votes and seats in the parliament than Ziks party yet out of shear political rivalry Zik refused to accede to Awo's proposal to even play the 2nd fiddle to him but went into alliance with the North( severally from the 60s.......yet they pretend we dont know history or probably have forgotten)

Those who have read history will know where the concept of 'Being the beautiful bride' of Nigerian politics comes from or who said so

The Northerners were pulling Zik and his party on one hand while Awo/UPN was also asking for an alliance between both parties in order to confine the "core North into political irrelevance" but Zik shunned Awo and allegedly even leaked the letter Awo wrote to him detailing the schematics of the working agreement he was proposing to the press

The SW political gladiators like Tinubu having read history very well and discovered where Baba Awo couldn't succeed knew that in order for the SW to play Nationally away from the perennial opposition tag we had always carried all these years. Possible outcomes that can make such aspiration possible is to Form a political alliance with one of the 2 major ethnic group (1) Igbos (2) Hausas as no major tribe can single handedly deliver the Presidency unto itself

As things stands,the perennial rivalry of the Igbos with the Yorubas wont make them forge an allianace with the SW whereas the North is pragmatic,open-minded and very astute when it comes into forming political alliance




Tinubu's master-stroke of shooting down Mulikat Akande's PDP aspiration( which ACN is not hell-bound to go along with) has healed whatever old wound existing between the North and the SW........whereas the SE have simply replace the SW in the war of ego with the North.....who they used to be in bed with politically before but now insult because GEJ is now the President( i wonder what they will do when GEJ finishes his tenure in 2015 worst 2019( i even heard them saying GEJ should hand over to them) as if GEJ will point a gun at the heads of the SWners and Hausas they insult and deride to vote for their candidate

That is why people like me have been preaching politics of bridge-building and not ethnoreligious bigotry especially being championed by the people across the Niger knowing fully well that our political paths might cross in the near future but it seems some dont even care if the future dont come hence they are trying to turn everyone into enemies



Whatever anybody may say Tinubu has strengthened the respect SWners used to have politically.......the role he is likely to play in who will get the APC ticket is apt as the zone remains the single strongest unified region in the APC



Yoruba folks should not let charlatans like Femi Aribisala obfuscate issues that are clear to us based on historical antecedents of all political regions and ethnic groups

classic!!!

olabukola:
If this is the case why did we zone the APC ticket to the North(hausa/Fulani).

oga,do do u see it aanywhere that I'm.a politician?better u direct ur question to a politician like urself and moreover why did PDP also restricted other candidates from contesting and solely zoned it to the south in the person of GEJ......are u saying there is no northerners who are far better than.Jonathan In PDP? lastly I'm not a party man .....u can look for one like urself to answer ur illogical question! !!

leadership is not by tribe but competency and credibility!

NOLONGTIN1:
Must the pedestrian bridge be located close to the Man's house?

I don't blame the resident at all because I wouldn't like a situation where people climbing a bridge can easily look into my house.

What will happen if Fashola situate the bridge on another place Or must the bridge be close to the man's house?

I think Fashola is just trying to show his power to the man.

are u from the area....please if u are not residing around there don't quote me......coz u ve no idea of what is happening, just want to play tribal or political sentiment .....I argue with objective,exposed and enlightened mind plz and plz!
I know ur type nothing I will say that u will ever reason with coz ur mind is closed already only want to play politics and a means to discredit a personality either right or wrong which u know!!!

Firefire:
can this allegation against Lagosians be true ?

very true bro,especially that of iyana ipaja, coz I reside around there so I make use of the route almost daily,the govt were trying to fix d road,despite been a federal govt road......due to the yearning of residents and the transporters but the man took them to court and infact after much pleading from the landlord association,he still refused to let it go.....too bad some Nigerias are greedy and selfish!

donmalcolm21:
I never knew traditional rulers will engage in partisan politics just to satisfy the ego of their oyemesi (Tinubu). He needs to withdraw that statement asap or ....

same way oba of benin endorsed GEJ and heaven didn't fall!

Gbawe:
Bro, the simple truth is that they have not been able to "replicate" anything anywhere because they work with chest-beating delusions of grandeur and wild lies alone. This is the conclusive reason why individuals who claim they have built good things elsewhere 'oddly' seem incapable of doing so at home. I don't get how some people have no shame at all. You will use outright lies and fallacies to proclaim you have done this and own that yet you can never reproduce such in your own traditional abode where it is most needed. Sadly for deluded fools, we live in an information age and it is very easy today to discredit liars and empty braggarts as I have done here with relative ease.

some uneducated people derive joy in spreading false news and showing unreasonable pride......London as at today is not mainly developed by the whites,infact all race in the world contributed to the growth of that city and they never lay claim to the success and take the kudos away from whom it's due to which are the indigenes, it's only take a fool to leave his home on comfort and go to another man's land if there is nothing good or a potential for personal growth. ....they failed to understand the history of Yoruba in the area of urbanization, just because of their hatred ... reason the only honest prayer I perform everyday is the total breakup of this jungle called Nigeria....it is on record that even before amalgamation, Lagos was the most developed part of Niger area as it was called then (Lagos colony).....no matter urs level of contribution to another man's land,u must appreciate the indigenous because the gave u the peaceful envirmoment u are operating daily......they can as well go to kano, ph and kaduna to.replicate same,especially in the north if they can dare to dare the rampage north,who take no shit!
God will soon separate us,so we can know the weak and the strong that offer no value IJN!

meccuno:
The black man isn't smart.....these white people are knocking our heads together and we are playing along to their script.....the igbos showed something that was a reality check to the world that the black man is not a savage and brain dead like the whites would depict us.......they where technological advances within a 30 month period......it only showed that we have the potentials to be great which startled them.......but instead of building on the progresses made during the war even if it was bloody and brought distrust between the igbos and nigeria,the current leaders went back to the same mistake that led to the civil war.....awolowo was a bright fellow.....and he knew what he wanted to achieve for Nigeria....but the Northern elites thought differently.they wanted power and nothing else.....not for development or progress but to subdue the south and the middle belt minorities....we all have something to offer....whether human or natural resources.....but it could be achieved iif we drop this "my tribe is better than urs" it won't take us anywhere.....I used to think that the northerners where bunch of uneducated peeps until I started mingling with them northerners like jos boys,kaduna guys.....and you would be amazed @ how exposed and brilliant they are......religion,tribalism,corruption are the monsters destroying this country.....if we don't kill them,the log would still be in our eyes.....

lot of wisdom in urs writeup....but the truth is that we can't mend again......so better we breakup this jungle and start afresh

davo3286:
Which kind of yeye breakup u dey talk so?! Nigeria stays and that's final!

The problem of Nigeria is not the leaders of today, but the leaders of tomorrow.

bro u are absolutely right but the youth of tomorrow are not ready for change!
but in our NEW ODUA NATION, those youths will be thrown out as we strife to build a nation that will be an envy of the world at large.....ODUA NATION SHALL RISE AGAIN!

Wildjoe:
How can south east become overcrowded in such an event? The smallest state in the south east is one and half the size of lagos state that has over 20 million population. Is it not better to allow the Igbo cry their cry? Enugu, the capital of Biafra has abundant land for new satelite cities.

though I'm not against ur ideology but get urs fact right ......the whole of southeast is not upto Oyo state in terms of land mass...
but despite that it will be wrong to belief southeast will suffer. .....every regions in this country ve the potential to develop and survive ......though the truth is that some can be richer than the others,and doesn't mean a state with oil will automatically be richer.....but a state with good leaders and a clear vision that sees opportunities in their adversities....it might even be the North. ....remember u can't compare Switzerland with angola despite the presence of oil in Angola. ... . ALL I WANT RIGHT NOW IS AN EGALITARIAN ODUA NATION!! !

chinziaski:
We can start.

We can open blogs and create threads.

These things will enlighten minds.

We can go to rural settlements and educated them about oneness. Teach them beauty of unity in diversity.

If we can encourage the tolerance of the next tribe, we can do more! We have the man-power and the technical strength to be up there.

Brother, we can do it.

definitely u can do it except my type of person.... .Nigeria is a falsified jungle oh sorry country they call it and it's hight time we break it if possible into pieces where everyone will ve a say in the govt of his place.....not some set of jackals oppressing the citizens and treating our constitutions with impunity,right now all I want is an ODUA NATION nothing on earth will change my belief on that.......reason Im praying for GEJ to polarise the country until we breakaway and I know God will help to take actions that will bring about that!
ODUA NATION IS ALL I WANT!

isrecole:
Obasanjo was just rabblerousing. He's dazed that GEJ is contesting against his wish. So Obasanjo wants to rubbish GEJ's government in order to pave way for his Party,APC. But Obj has missed it completely because Yorubas will forever appreciate GEJ for the ongoing expansion of Lagos/Ibadan Express road which he Obasanjo did not do for the Yorubas. For the road alone Jonathan is our hero! In terms of achievements Jonathan is far ahead of Obasanjo, I swear!!!!!!!!

point of correction never u speak on behalf of all Yoruba because I didn't know u,so how will u speak on my behalf ?
please urs is urs and mine is mine.......both obasanjo and GEJ remain a failure in all index of leadership. .....they can both be the heroes of u and ur family.....but as for me and my family....we already made a vow never to celebrate mediocres!!!
I don't want to be a failure! !!!!

Gboliwe:
How does APC certify a free and fair election?

APC strongholds are also bokoharam's strongholds. #thankyouforremindingme

I still wonder what the primary duty of governors is to their states. I also wonder why the partial state of emergency since apparently it isn't working.

Wasn't it the court that retrieved his mandate? Was that wrong?

the court retrieved his mandate not under GEJ regime!

u Sabi write like this na Im u no win common cowbell essay competition?
u no get work .......I no even get time to read ur jargons finish because u no be chinua achebe nor wole soyinka!!
Abeg shift go one side!

Dlionsheart:
Nobody is impeaching anybody my friend. Nigeria has gone through tougher challenges than the current acts of shame from our politicians and still remained one. That's the headache of the western world - they don't understand why we're still one in spite of our tremendous diversity.

The 2015 election will come and go in less than four months from now with a new president (Jonathan or who ever win) and NOTHING WILL HAPPEN. Politicians are only overheating the polity unnecessarily.


GOD BLESS NIGERIA!!!

i don't care about Nigeria.....eventhough we know Nigeria is cursed ......GOD BLESS ODUA REPUBLIC!

Rexnegro:
Wagbayi I swear bro...tell them o.. odua nation ? I swear I can't wait for our darling con3

boss....seriously speaking,I don't even care to know what will happen to Nigeria anymore .....I'm really fed up,especially when u ve mediocres ahead of the affairs,taking decisions that affect our daily activities, its pathetic. ....with ODUA republic we can be responsible for everything decisions we made and easily hold the leaders accountable.....I'm in desperately in need of my own country not the one a foreigner falsified and forcefully hand over to my fore fathers. ...it's high time we say GOODBYE TO NIGERIA!

truth ti be told.....GEJ has relegated the whole security authorities to a mere personal private company. .....but to who cares to listen....no one have monopoly of violence.....2015 is make or marred to this country. ....if the write of the citizen to elect their beloved candidate is not guarantee,then anarchy is looming and possibly we might kiss this God forsaken fraudulent country GOODBYE!!!
ON ODUA REPUBLIC I STAND....where we believe in law and order.
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! !!!

ODUA NATION is all I'm asking for!!!

that is the real FRESH AIR!

anarchy is looming. ....but if this will.lead to the disintegration of this jungle state call Nigeria,so be it,enough is enough......I want to live my life in a peaceful,develop and secured ODUA NATION. ....it's pathetic that the situation is becoming more cumbersome daily.
OH God do everything within ur power to divide this lawless and hopeless nation.
people decamped to urs party no hassle but when its against ur party then u can go to any length to ridicule justice,even.if it will affect the unity and peace of the entire country?
enough is enough .......we can't continue like this!!!

Equado:
r yhu a literate or an illiterate...d man called ameachi jst threatened nigeria's sovereignty and you're talking thrash...no matter his premise...he shoudnt threaten the sovereignty of this nation...Jonathan jst 2 gentle...I know many presidents that lock dis fool{amaechi} 4 a long long tym#treason

shema instructed his supporters to kill opposition like 2days ago and the president said nothing about it .....but amaechi seems to be the scapegoat because he is in the opposition.
Nigeria is really a jungle fill of hypocrites

Djicemob:
You people amaze me with this your IF.

You talk as if there's ever been a politian who lost election in nigeria and claimed his opponent didnt rig?
Admit it! This is low on amaechi's part,seems like he already knows he and APC would lose at coming election.Why cry foul already with incitive statements? Even before election?

boss I'm not against urs opinion we might reason differently,I don't think anything is wrong doing that,everyone with different political view. ....but the moment u begin to insult other just because he failed to support ur ideology...then u are not meant to be in the midst of civilized people. ....none of this politicians is paying me...so we need to be objective in our mode of reasoning...remember what amaechi said is not different to what statemen like Edwin Clarke, dokubo,ciroma,buhari,kanti bello and the likes have said.....but when u vent ur anger on a particular person because urs hatred for him,its highly unfair,as we all know rigging is part of Nigeria culture so vulgar language is not synonymous to a particular party......it cit across both two Nigeria top parties its sad but that's the reality....that is what the system is offering us,and we equally have the right to chose where to belong among them,so when I decided to oppose urs opinion or ideology that doesn't makes me ur enemy unlike what that nonentity and underexposed bigots believe in.......VULGAR language is not invented by amaechi so it won't end with him... as if been the system had stopped it,by prosecuting previous offenders then maybe amaechi would ve say something else....blame the system as well!

Nctrice:
hahahaaaaa! Oga! You talk like you are not a Nigerian! Now please mention one Political party that has lost Election in this country and not accused the other party who won the election of massive Rigging? even when APC wins PDP still accuse them of rigging and take the matter to court just like what is happening in Osun state now... either way it happens the other party always accuse the winning party of Rigging, they then take the matter to court and the court up hold or reject the result of the election! that is how it has always been and I don't think 2015 would be any different... or maybe it would be different IF dumb people like you adhere to the instructions of politicians like Amaechi to destroy this country just for selfish reasons of Politicians... I can't imagine this! you are so dumb the only word you understand is "IF"!

I can now reach a logical conclusion that u a re real fool!
how on earth will u call me a dumb just because I decided to chose a path different from a myopic way of urs ?it shows how uncivilize and unexpose u are.....if u think amaechi is wrong,its ur right to go to court and if u can't may u be destroyed for life..... ...a lot of politicians have made worst statements than this from both political side and if u are knowledgeable enough amaechi statement,that is even conditional(IF),Should not be the issue if not because u are already hopeless of a better tomorrow and u are looking for one to vent ur anger.....please this man didn't bring u to this world,u can sit ur parents down and asked them why they failed in their duty...amaechi is not ur problem but ur parents that failed in their responsibility. ....all hope is not lost.....u can still GET A LIFE.
BASTARD!
