FlyoruB: In 2011, Tinubu gave Amosun the ticket to contest under his ACN against much opposition from other Ogun state based ACN stalwarts like Osoba dem. Olurin (OBJ's anointed candidate in that election) lost woefully to Amosun in that election that proved once and for all that OBJ is no more than a featherweight politician in his own backyard.
OBJ is just a selfish/greedy person that should be insulted. He had opportunity to bring Ibb to book if he's that sincere as a Nigerian that he's claiming, he never did that and nobody wrote letter against him or complained against him to step down. He never restructured the country against his wishes now. No one wrote letter against him to step down. Probably, he has collected money/promised the likes of Elumelu to install them as president.
aolawale025: Lagos may slip out of tinubu's hand by 2019. The margins between winner and loser in the 2011 and 2015 elections have been narrowing in Lagos.
Definitely you are a rookie, all the candidates PDP/opposition have been cloning/putting forward were Tinubu boys, coupled with the massive Nigeria state money recklessly spent to buy votes by all means. FYI obanikoro has gone back to his grandmaster.
nairavsdollars: A new coalition, National Intervention Movement (NIM) has unveiled its committee to implement the agenda of the group.
Temidayo Akinsuyi, Lagos
According to a statement by Olukayode Salako, Head of New Media and Networking, NIM, the group is to serve as a third force, non-partisan coalition to provide a credible alternative platform for ideal and acceptable political leadership and governance in Nigeria, with the aim of enthroning a new political order in the country as the 2019 general elections approach.
According to Salako, “It is a purely owned political platform by the mass movement of the people of Nigeria. It does not have founding fathers, owners and money bags investors. Every member Nigerian will contribute his token and widows might to fund and grow it and also fundamentally run it for the purpose of access to equal and unbiased opportunities to contest or run for elective offices in Nigeria under ideal democratic rules, tenets and ideals.
“It is not a political party per se, but a mass movement of ideologically compatible and patriotic Nigerians to move against the frustrating governing order statuscuo and operate as one force major entity under a political mission and agenda to always ensure the entrenchement of a new and ideal leadership order in Nigeria.
“NIM will work with other splinter political, civil society and professional groups of interest in Nigeria to negotiate for power and elective offices for its members; support them to contest and help to install acceptable governments in every part of Nigeria.
“NIM is already becoming a house hold name; it is growing and expanding fast across the six geo political zones in Nigeria and will surely and strategically contribute prominently to the emergence of a new political order in the 2019 elections.
“It is obvious Nigerians are earnestly asking for the emergence of the third political order in the present Nigeria.
“This is one concern, prominent and patriotic Nigerians are already building for you.”

Real doctor, where is Ebele Jonathan's publication(s)?
GEJ fought for the appointment of a Yoruba as Speaker of the House of Representatives. That is the 4th highest position in the land.
Some Yoruba chaps I.e Tinubu and his co-travellers, conspired to scuffle it and gave it to a northerner for exactly the same reason you are doing it now: to play ethnic politics with it against GEJ.
To compare GEJ and Buhari in matters as this is to honestly raise folly to unprecedented heights
Mr, we are talking of appointments by the president not elections/permutations in the national house of assembly which is beyond the powers of the president
Yaradua came and died He made appointments but not in this ugly format.
Jonathan came ruled and it was like a true democracy with fair sharing.
Now this old man has come, and he has created tribalism, religious difference etc.
Old fools can be bad for the future
How? Nothing like one south. we have SW, SS, SE. Over 98% of Jonathan's appointments were either SE/SS, despite the fact he got good votes from SW. All the principal staff of his presidency were SE/SS. Buhari is doing a better distribution despite he got nothing from SE/SS, there is nothing like one north, but NC,NE,NW.
ibos too get complex, why do you people too care for appointments you don't deserve, but all the southern appointments by jonathan were either ibos/ss, nobody complained, even ministerial positions that is mandatory for each state, only Adeshina (Agric) was the substantive minister from SW others were junior ministers, but all ibos/ss were substantive ministers, nobody complained, all the presidency were igbo/ss, nobody complained.
onadana: I don't trust SARS or the police one bit.They are very good at staging things.
Pls state your profession, only robbers can agitate and be so wished for scrapping of a police unit that is specifically trained to fight high level crimes.
Fidelmalek: Yorubas have always been slaves.... Little wonder why they are slave puppets to the north...
Quote me and die
But your elders, fathers, leaders are seriously begging the north to be slaves to them at the moment. I can't stop laughing when I read one senator uzodinma's piece this morning soliciting ibos courtship with the north, coupled with your traditional rulers seeking favour to be slave to the same north by honoring Buhari with the highest chieftancy title in ibo land. Your tribe is the cheapest and most valueless and the only delusional tribe in the country.
My wife is very churchy and spiritual. I love her for that but she told me this morning that the spirit ministered to her to sow something huge to a reverend father, so she carried all her December salary and gave to a reverend father. I asked her why she didn't notify me before she undertook it and she said such instructions should be carried out without anybody's knowledge.
I'm not a catholic member, I'm RCCG. catholic members in the house, is that how your doctrine is? We are young couple and I wish we don't have any serious disagreement for now.
You are not her Lord of lords. Abeg don't come in-between her and her God. It is her belief, and surely it will work for her.

patrick89: People where screaming boycott gtb, they did not say boycott Yoruba, nor Yoruba owned banks. How did everything turn into tribalism? People are accusing Igbo people of protecting innoson, but you're there protecting EFCC and GTB! The truth is, most vocal people against efcc arrest were non Igbo's, but when boycott gtb started trending most Yoruba social media influencers swung into action, started making a narrative that is bias in favor of gtb. They have since started making many hashtags and sponsoring many publications on many platforms like premium times and sahara reporters. If you have followed this from day one, you would know that this issue started since 2004. But they will carefully avoid it in their report. They have never issued any statement on this since 2004 until now. Instead of them to pay innoson his money, they are looking for a way to discredit the man. Now look at what will happen, innoson I know is not a man you can toss around. He is a very simple cool guy. He will come out victorious once again. And gtb will regret their action, Most of you are jumping up and down and hurling insult on innoson are ignorant or pure haters. Igbo people are boycotting gtb not because it is owned by Yoruba but they have been used to pull the man down. Mr Ebuka is pulling his money from GTB and dumping it in first bank, you're accusing him of tribalism, are not an unfortunate person? You guys will always start this media fight, when the igbos take it to the next level you start calling them names.. You know how they boycotted the military vaccine. Watch out, for the next step. No be only una sabi write article... There with be more of articles on this, but the court will have the final say. Innoson has won the 2 battles already. Waiting for the last fight at the supreme. I wish you social media influencers well. But next time you want to accuse Igbo people of tribalism, look inward first. Thank you.
