I have no time for pepper sound joint chit-chat.

Follow the news abeg and don't drag me back...

Ngwakwe:
Was Abike Dabiri the military personnel that received those items or is this part of the repackaging campaign meant to deceive the gullible.

Just like saying Godswill Akpabio built Ibaka Sea port when history is written in 30 years time

Buhari is contesting for the President and still alive to refute the allegations or remain silent as a sign of acceptance.

maestroferddi:
Maturity invariably wins the day.

Jonathan and Obasanjo have actually met before the former's departure from Ogun State.

Speculators kind of jumped the gun...

The joke inthe political circles is that: “those Obasanjo want to destroy, he first dines and dances with.” It was the same strategy he used for the late Senate President, Chuba Okadigbo, former PDP National Chairman, Audu Ogbe, former Governor of Ogun state, Gbenga Daniel and Atiku.
In 2000, following series of disagreements between him and Okadigbo, their relationship became strained and the then president made up his mind to remove the Anambra-born politician from the Senate presidency. But he must not give Okadigbo the slightest impression of his grim design. Rather, he let Okadigbo into believing that their tiff was over.


It was a relieved Okadigbo that hosted Obasanjo to a well publicised dinner in his official Apo, Abuja official residence amidst cheers, dancing and popping of champagnes. One week after dinning with him, Obasanjo struck and allegedly orchestrated a fierce campaign for Okadigbo’s impeachment relying on a trumped up corruption charge. Okadigbo was eventually impeached on August 8, 2000.


In January 2005, it was the turn of Ogbeh to fall for Obasanjo’s poisoned chalice. His woes started on December 6, 2004 following a confidential letter he wrote to Obasanjo protesting the president’s ineptitude in handling the Anambra state crisis at that time. In the letter, Ogbeh had rued that Obasanjo looked the other way while reactionary forces turned Anambra to a battle ground. The former President’s reply to the letter was couched in name calling, insults and innuendos that suggested Ogbeh had some skeleton in his closet. What followed the exchange of letter between the two politicians was what many now consider as a bogus petition to the EFCC alleging Ogbeh had misused PDP fund.


On January 4, 2005, the National Executive Committee (NEC) of the PDP met and an elated Ogbeh thought the meeting had resolved his differences with Obasanjo moreso as the ex-General went with him to his house in Abuja to eat pounded yam. Few days after the make-believe pounded yam dinner, Obasanjo struck and forced Ogbeh to resign his position. Ogbeh is now an active member of the opposition APC.


Vintage OBJ!

Cmanforall:
He said its a 'meeting with the governor'. That's deceitful, Misleading and Lie.
What does it take to say its to come cheer him up for his 2015 campaign bid. We need to be going straight to the point in this country.

maestroferddi:
Agreed.

But Obasanjo has been giving the opposition some semblance of traction.

It wouldn't be fair for him to display an open endorsement of Jonathan because doing so would contradict the sundry statements he has made lately.

Let's us wait till Buhari's campaign train hits Ogun State before drawing conclusions.

eddie1:

kelechiodo:
APC rally
I try as much as possible to follow the campaign train of both APC and PDP via TV. And today was not different as I was changing channels from CHANNEL TV to NTA trying to catch up with the campaign. But surprisingly, what you get to hear are lies. For example in Owerri today, hear OKorocha as he spurns out lies. He started with my people, my people and then goes to baptist Buhari, Okechukwu Buhari and to the bewilderment of all and to Buhari embarrassment told the gathering that Buhari's grand mother is from Imo and that Buhari will speak Igbo to them. We are waited for the igbo speaking Buhari but we kept on hearing what look like kworuption and other inaudible sentences. I just hope that these politicians will stick to issues and stop all these lies.
Okorocha lies:
Buhari grand mother is an Igbo
Buhari speaks Igbo
There is free education in Imo
etc
PDP Ogun state rally
I dont know what happened today in Ogun state. Who handles GEJ campaign publicity. The scanty attendance in Ogun state today is shocking. Fmr. Gov. Orji Uzor Kalu was absolutely right when he warned that GEJ marketers should be active and not docile. We all know that most of the attendance in most of these rallies are offered stipend by both parties but men, the Ogun poor attendance is absolutely too poor. Ahmadu Ali should be up and doing and I wonder why he was given such a sensitive post in his old age. Rotimi Amechi being younger is doing a very nice job in APC and sincerely, Buhari has never had it so good.

espn:

vedaxcool:

kenp20:

Cmanforall:
In as much people are free to support whom they wish, but Rochas and his Commissioner(s) should stop playing the IMO YOUTHS under the Youth Must Work(YMW) program. How will they send this sms(below) just to have crowd(25,000 youths) show up just to support their campaign. And it will paint a picture of the youths strongly behind their government. The support for this should be voluntary.
.
The SMS sent to ALL Youth Must Work(YMW) members goes thus:

ALL YMW BENEFICIARIES R INVITED 2 A COMPULSORY MEETING WIT D GOVNOR ON MONDAY 12/1/15 ACCREDITATION @ FREEDOM SQUARE BY 8AM . WEAR WHITE TOP & BLACK TROUSER.

APC cluellessness personified and megafied to the highest order.
In my local govt some APC topshot paid some boys with claw mark face to remove and deface any PDP poster and to beat up anybody who tries to reason with them or challenge them

Founder of the Niger Delta Peoples Volunteer Force, NDPVF, Mr Asari Dokubo, has denied himself citizenship of the nation Nigeria.

The former freedom fighter said he couldn’t establish anything in a ‘strange land’ where his enemies abound.

Dokubo stated this while speaking as guest in ‘Rubbin Minds’, a programme on the Channels Television on Sunday.

The Niger Delta indigene who had vowed to make blood flow on the streets of the country if Jonathan loses as president of the nation come February 14, publicly declared that he had no regret dumping Nigeria for neighboring Benin Republic.

When asked why he did not establish his institution in the country, a fire-splitting Asari said: “I am a businessman. My business is mostly centered around education. I have about four schools.

“I have crèche, nursery and secondary school, King Amachree International School in Cotonou, Republic of Benin. I have King Amachree Automobile and ICT Academy and I have King Amachree Arts Academy and King Amachree Sports Academy.

“Its only education that I do. By March, King Amachree African University will come on board”.

He noted that his passion for education, despite not completing his own university education, was because the quality of education being offered in Nigeria was very inadequate as he believes “it just prepares people to speak English, to write and to make noise.

“Any student who graduates from my school is skilled,”.

Asked why, according to reports, he has a university in the Republic of Benin rather than building it in Nigeria, he said, “I don’t see myself as a Nigerian and I cannot establish a school in an enemy territory.

“For over 30 years, I’ve been at loggerheads with the Nigerian Government, first as a Student Union leader, then President of National Union of Rivers State Students, participating in student unionism.

“I have been an enemy of the Nigerian state, so to say. Up till today, there’s a treason trial hanging on my head and you cannot just put your business in an environment where one person would get up and say ‘I close down this business’.

“I want somewhere where I can express myself and flourish and that’s what I’m doing. We started small but gradually we are becoming bigger and bigger.”

Asari Dokubo, who became a citizen of the neighbouring Republic of Benin in 2013 maintained that he had never been a Nigerian citizen.

“I have never been a Nigerian. Nations are not created by force…they are created by the people. You saw Scotland trying to vote yes or no. Today no Scottish man can say ‘I’m not a Briton’ because majority of Scottish people have accepted to remain in the British Union.”

He also gave his opinion about Nigeria’s 2014 National Conference, maintaining that the existence of a “no-go-area”, among other issues, meant that the country was yet to hold a sovereign national conference, which he had demanded for 30 years.

“We don’t want a situation where somebody will arrogate to himself the power to decide the fate of other people. We want a Nigeria that recognizes that there are different nations no matter how small they are, and they are accorded the same space in Nigeria,” he added.
