ogbuefi677: Lolz. I pity any southerner still in Borno in the name of fighting boko haram cos let's ask ourselves these questions. What is boko haram fighting for?Their leader that was killed?To establish a caliphate? How do they still get recruits?Does this mean their actions have a kind of local acceptance and approval? Coming to the zoo army,does Borrowhari really want to end d terrorism when he is busy releasing hardened terrorists while the war is still on?
Bokoharam survives in the north because they have highest rate of brainless youths in the whole world. They recruit them to kill them, it is obnoxious. Bokoharam is a virus within viruses. I arise my case.
muykem: I think every reasonable person need to condemn loans at this point, if the governor is honest he should wait till after election.
Thank u my brother. Reasonable thinkers must know that it is not good for Obaseki to make that kind move this time. If he is sincere, he should work hard, win the election and later take such loan. He wants to loot it to do election.
When we are telling them that Obaseki cannot be trusted, they are making noise. Let them vote him and see pepper. Till he finishes his second term, he will not do anything. Anyway, APC will not even allow him to win, because Edo is the only APC state they have in South south.
Osagyefo98: A company in which Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo has a stake, Simmons Coopers Partners, has been linked to another firm, Ocean Trust Limited, which was fingered in an alleged N100bn scam involving Alpha Beta Consulting Limited and Alpha Beta LP.
Ocean Trust Limited, which was accused of being a conduit for diversion and laundering of funds by Alpha Beta, listed Simmons Coopers as its company secretary, documents exclusively obtained from the Corporate Affairs Commission by Saturday PUNCH showed.
Simmons Coopers was listed as a company in which Prof Yemi Osinbajo (now Vice-President) had a stake in his asset declaration form in 2015, according to the statement by the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu.
In a petition submitted to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission in July 2018, Dapo Apara, the erstwhile managing director of Alpha Beta, had alleged that Alpha Beta owed the Federal Government N100bn in unpaid taxes spanning over 10 years, adding that the firm usually laundered funds through another firm, Ocean Trust Limited.
He alleged that the firm was being protected by powerful politicians.
The petition by Apara’s lawyer, Adetunji Adegboyega, read in part, “Over the years, the company (Alpha Beta) has been protected and shielded by some powerful politicians and people in the society which made them to always boast of being untouchable.
“But our client, feeling the need not to keep quiet again and strengthened by his belief in the fact that the government of President Muhammadu Buhari is keen on fighting corruption which has been the bane of our country, is of the firm view that it is time to expose and open the can of worms called Alpha Beta Consulting.
“Our client is of the firm belief that it is time for the commission to step in and conduct a holistic investigation into the activities of Alpha Beta Consulting Limited and Alpha
duncun: I think you're the sentimental person here, he raised facts about the divisions in your cultural institutions and who is behind the balkination, but it seems those facts don't bother you.
Gani is in the position to speak out what most of you will rather they are buried.
What credibility does Ghani Adams has? Tinubu has bn fighting for Democracy and good governance since Mko Abioa's time. He was part of Nadeco and also formed Radio Kudirat to fight Abacha for detaining Abiola. He ruled Lagos State and groomed so many progressive leaders in Nigeria today. He established so many investments like TV station, Radio station, News paper Coy, property coy and many others. Tell me what has Ghani has contributed to Yoruba land or Nigeria. He just a tout that is trying to gain relevancy. You can see now that u don't have points.
duncun: He asked you to name three unique things tinubu have done for the yoruba race. Moreover you're yet to confirm or refute his allegations against your man.
Your position is sentimental. I'm sure u are not a Yoruba man. What has Ghani Adams done for Yoruba too? May be u can answer it for him
duncun: He asked you to name three unique things tinubu have done for the yoruba race. Moreover you're yet to confirm or refute his allegations against your man.
Yebosola: Ipobs, I pity Obaseki, anything u support is a failure,mark it down, elections and propaganda doesnt win election, people that will finish u are not on SM,continue making noise, Kogi is your yardstick to know what will befalls u lot.
Don't mind them. After the election when APC wins, they will be crying that the election is rigged.
Being rejected in Agbede does not mean that APC is rejected in every part of Edo state. I am convinced that APC will win Edo election come September. All the social median propaganda can not make Obaseki wins the election.
EsomahJD: ABEOKUTA - The Aare Ona Kankanfo of Yorubaland, Otunba Gani Adams has accused former Lagos State Governor, Bola Tinubu as anti- restructuring of Nigeria, stressing that he is a businessman in politics with no ideology.
Adams stated this, through Director of Communication, Aare Onakakanfo Strategic Intervention Group (ASIG), Olajide Odumosu, in reaction to Coordinator of Bola Tinubu Disciples Organization (BTDO), Agarawu Wasiu, describing him (Adams), as an ingrate, a traitor and a misfit for the Yoruba race
He declared that, the attack on him by Tinubu’s disciples had done more damage to the reputation of the All Progressives Congress (APC) leader than good, noting that rather than addressing issues raised in the said interview, had decided to go haywire, raining insulting words on his personality "Having gone through the story, it is obvious that Tinubu's Disciples Organization are nothing but a large group of loose cannons that are ready to mortgage the future of the Yoruba race", Adams said.
Adams raised four issues revolving around the state of the nation and the future of the Yoruba race, emphasizing that Tinubu had no interest in the actualization of Oodua Republic and restructuring.
He pointed out that, Tinubu through Agarawu, had, in the statement, described Yoruba's quest for restructuring as the most taunted, thus justifying his (Adams) stand that Tinubu had no interest on restructuring.
Adams declared that, Tinubu was never a member of any Yoruba socio cultural group, where leaders are properly trained and built with Yoruba ideology and philosophy.
"He was groomed by the late General Shehu Yar'Adua, under Premous group- a political dynasty of the late politician. Tinubu's political background is alien to Yoruba ideology and that his campaign for Presidency, two months after the swearing- in of President Muhammadu Buhari's second term in office was ill-timed and a distraction to the APC government.
"All the issues raised in the said interview were nothing but the truth because they outweighed the response from Agarawu. Tinubu's quest for power is Hitlerish and no sane Yoruba man will like to identify with the former governor of Lagos state. He should name three unique things he had done for the Yoruba race.
“Tinubu had a hand in the breakup of all the socio cultural groups in Yorubaland, Afenifere, OPC, YCE, others. He whittled down the popularity of PRONACO. The OPC under Aare's leadership broke up into groups. He sponsored the renegades in Somolu, Ilorin,and Ibadan. Now those groups have gone under and they are of no relevance at the moment.
“Afenifere had a bitter story to tell about him. The Yoruba socio cultural group had been in existence since 1948, he had infiltrated the group with Afenifere Renewal group. He went to the presidency with another group led by Pa Ayo Fasanmi, saying they are the authentic Afenifere.YCE is presently another victim of Tinubu's political chicanery", he said
He continued, "The new Yoruba World Congress that is just starting are presently feeling the heat of his infiltration, with some of its top member resigning with no genuine reason. Even there was an unconfirmed reports that the Lagos state government slowed down on the implementation of the Amotekun Security outfit because they are waiting for bourdillion's go ahead.
"Even as it is evident that his body language on Amotekun across the southwest is nothing to write home about. All these are evidences against Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu. While serving his unjust detention in prison, Obasanjo decided to deal with Aare Gani Adams. And one of his reasons then was because of his closeness to Tinubu.
"He was released from detention after fourteen months that was between October 2005 and December 2006. He said Aare was an ingrate. Let him justify this. Has he built a house for Aare Gani Adams? Did he buy a car or sponsor Aare's education? Or did he spend any money for the development of the OPC as organization? When Okiro arrested him in 2001, did he pay for his legal fees?
"Even during the installation ceremony of the Aare Onakakanfo of Yorubaland on January 13, 2018 in Oyo, did he contribute financially or send any representative? He didn't.These are questions begging for answers.
"In 2007 when Aare Gani Adams launched his book "Leadership challenge" at Museum Centre, Honourable Tunde Balogun, Tinubu's representative at the book launch promised to give Aare five million, but up till today, he didn't fulfill his promise.
"In 2005,Tinubu offered Aare Adams a two-bedroom apartments at Lagos state Low Cost Housing Estate, Ojokoro, Meiran, Lagos but he rejected it. The last time Aare meet with him was in 2009. So why is he after Aare?
"The position of Aare Onakakanfo of Yorubaland is that of a traditional warlord of the Yoruba race. As the Yoruba generalisimo and cultural aficionado, he has sworn on an oath to defend the Yoruba race and this is what he has been doing’
"Any Aare Onakakanfo of Yorubaland must say the truth at the right time, no matter who is involved. And the Aare Gani Adams I know is up to the task. Therefore, it is a complete misinterpretation of words to say Aare Gani Adams is a misfit for the Yoruba race."
Who is this Ghani Adams, pls? Is it because Swest Govs did not give him Amontekun coordinator? Has he achieved 1% of what Tinubu has achieved? Very useless man, calling him self Yoruba leader. who knows him.
I begin to cry for this country because Magu has finished Nigeria. Under the watch of Baba Buhari, Magu was doing anyhow. God the faith of Nigeria is in your hand oo.
Gjrich: Former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode has stated that embattled former acting chairman of the EFCC, Ibrahim Magu never worked for President Muhammadu Buhari.
Fani-Kayode in a tweet on Sunday disclosed that Magu has been working for the National leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo.
He disclosed that Magu was not the ‘real target’ adding that after his ordeal, Tinubu and Osinbajo will be ‘crushed’.
“What is happening to Magu today was planned years ago. The real target is not Magu but those he worked for and protected for the last 4 years. He NEVER worked for Buhari.”
“He worked for Tinubu & Osinbajo. When they finish crushing him they will move against his two godfathers.”
An idiotic ffk. He resemble his father too much. His father was happened to be a Yoruba betrayal. Because of PDP's defeat, he become a toothless dog. His life will never be like that of Osinbajo. Ffk cant contest for just a councillorship and win. who will vote for a nuisance? Every occurrence, na Tinubu. People are not stupid like ffk.

Despite all the money this Akpabio carried when he was a two terms Governor. He is behaving like someone that has never seen money in life. Kai, our leaders are very greedy. All what the woman said about might be true. God please, help the soul of Nigeria.
Amozever12: Infrastructurally, u are correct considering the antecedent of Lagos as one of the 1st civilized states and former capital of Nigeria, but politically, it is backward, if not, an outstanding technocrat governor like Ambode shouldn't have been almost dead politically by now.
What outstanding Ambode? U make me laugh. Ambode that abandoned Fashola light rail and started building motor pack. After they announce APC as a winner that day, a go laugh tired.
emilo2bad: my friend do you stay in Auchi? I don't think so. so don't mention Auchi in your comment because Obaseki cannot win a single polling unit in Auchi. so be guarded please
My brother, don't mind them. How many votes count in Nigeria? APC will win Edo conveniently. Everything is done at collation centre now, nobody is suffering for manipulation at polling unit again.
Mccullum: Many of you still believing that election can be won on social media... Go to the street in Edo State you will notice that Obaseki is potentially vulnerable to lose.
We are telling them, they don't want to agree. After Obaseki losses the election, u will see them crying that the election was rigged. APC just lost Bayelsa, do they think APC will fold hand to lose Edo too, whereas Edo na APC state.
JidennaJason: Sure, but it will be difficult for the FG this time, Edo youths will resist any form of intimidation and electoral malpractice... They're not blind to the glowing stupidity of Adams Oshiomhole and his gang of rigger's from Abuja and Kano.
Godwin Obaseki should also be smart this time.
Are u going to be at collation centere? Continue deceiving yourself. With rigging and popularity of Ize Iyamu, Obaseki has lost the election. Save this page, I will remind u. Edo is part of APC state and if u remember, APC just lost Bayelsa, it will not open its eye to lose Edo too. I can bet it with everything, APC will win. It might be by rigging or otherwise, but APC is winning Edo election. Oshomonle is ready to put his last blood for it.
JidennaJason: The only hurdle before Godwin "Bruno" Obaseki is the corrupt INEC... The demonic APC in collaboration with the "Federal Powers" will manipulate INEC just to favour the cunning pastor.
God willing, I will be one of the Observers in the forthcoming election and any form of electoral malpractice from the two parties especially the demonic APC will be resisted.
God bless the PDP.

SonOfALion: Iran's Human Rights Organization (IHR) announced on Thursday, July 9, that authorities have executed a prisoner in Mashhad Central Prison for "drinking alcohol."
Citing the prisoner's attorney, the Norway-based IHR confirmed that the man was hanged early Thursday, without giving his name. Some Iranian activities on social media said his name was Morteza Jamali and he had two children.
"My client was arrested and convicted of drinking alcohol for the sixth time. Of course, there was also the issue of driving without a license and having alcohol," Hossein Habibi Shahri told IHR.
The Islamic Republic official sources have not yet confirmed or denied the news. Drinking alcohol is a crime in the clergy-dominated Iran, but executions for use of alcohol are rare. Iran is notorious for hanging drug smugglers, murderers and some political prisoners.
The execution has led to a strong backlash on Iranian social media as many users say that large corruption cases and extrajudicial killings of protesters go unpunished or end in light sentences while drinking brings the death penalty.
IHR director, Mahmood Amiry-Moghaddam, said, "With this execution, the Islamic Republic's judicial system has once again proven that its views are no different from those of ISIS."
Based on the Islamic Penal Code a defendant can face the death penalty after being arrested and punished three times for alcohol consumption. The initial punishment for drinking is usually flogging.
"This is one of the few recorded executions for drinking alcohol in Iran. Due to the lack of transparency in the Islamic Republic's judiciary, most executions in Iran are not declared officially by the authorities," IHR statement said on Thursday.
Yeye country. All these Arab countries are useless and wicked countries. I don't even know what will carry me go there again. I went to Qatar, I left with regret.
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) mocks the All Progressives Congress (APC) for plotting to use fabrications in a section of the media to arm-twist the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to manipulate the Edo state governorship election for their rejected candidate, Osagie Ize-Iyamu.
The party said that in sponsoring fake reports that PDP leaders were putting pressure on INEC Chairman, Prof. Yakubu Mahmood, on the Edo election, the APC has further exposed its hopelessness over their rejection by the Edo people and now seeks to blackmail the Commission.
Whereas we understand APC’s despondency over the soaring popularity of our party and candidate, Governor Godwin Obaseki, the APC is worsening its woes by sponsoring fabrications against the expressed will of the people of Edo state to re-elect Governor Obaseki in the September election.
The APC, by now, should know that attempting to rig, by any way whatsoever, will surely be met with stiff resistance and dire consequences from the people.
Our party counsels the APC to blame nobody but themselves for having a discredited nomination process and being stuck with a blighted candidate, who has now become a symbol of a direct affront by corrupt political godfathers and cabal to the will, ability and liberty of the people of Edo state to chose their own leader.
The APC should blame themselves for presenting a candidate who was exposed by their party’s former National Chairman, Adams Oshiomhole, as a person of questionable character, a treasury looter, acid bather, rusticated student; a politician, who is only good for “night meetings” and unfit to hold office as governor of Edo state.
The APC should also hold Oshiomhole responsible for indicting its candidate as a "fake pastor" that started carrying the Holy Bible because he could not practice as a barrister.
It is indeed disgraceful that 73 days to the election, all the APC has to offer is blackmail against our leaders, after its plans to derail the election has been exposed.
It is common knowledge among Nigerians that characters, such as ‘gandollar’, the killers in the Kogi election as well as manipulators in the Imo election, being paraded by the APC as the face of their campaign in Edo state, were foisted into office through rigging, bloodletting and manipulation of election results.
Nigerians already know how the “Gandollar” election was driven by mercenaries from neighboring countries who disrupted electoral processes and inflicted injuries and pain on our compatriots.
Nigerians can also recall how, in the Kogi election last year, gunmen and police helicopter were used to chase away voters, while an innocent woman, Salome Abuh, was killed by APC thugs in celebration of their bloodstained electoral conquest in the worst election in our political history as a nation.
The public has not also forgotten how an individual, who came a distant fourth in the Imo state governorship election, suddenly became the winner.
The PDP notes that it is only a discredited and rejected party like the APC that will enlist the services of known election manipulators, who have now started their assignment by sponsoring fake reports, to run its campaign.
Our party cautions the APC to desist from their plots to rig the Edo election as the people of Edo will firmly resist them. The APC should rather blame themselves for their woes and get ready to accept their inevitable crushing defeat at the poll.
Furthermore, the PDP counsels INEC to note the dangerous plots of the APC and insulate itself from their shenanigans as the tide in this election is already clear for all to see.
I will laugh PDP by September by the time it begins crying that APC rigged the election. Yeye party, if not because of PDP wuruwuru, who will know apc?
ikaboy: When you have nothing to show for in 3 years. Same avenue meant to showcases his achievement is being use to taunt the best preforming governor cum criminal. What a shame!
instead to show all his developmental projects, he is busy playing Gandolar. September is coming, we will see Obaseki crying that election is rigged. Fayose did more than this.

Ezennwa: should be the turn of South East, but since something is not alright, we will be behind anyone from the north, we have to redeem our image.
2023 elections is going to be a do or die affair, should incase south east did not contest for Presidential election, we south east will do everything possible to redeem a northern Presidential candidate
South west does not exist as far as 2023 election is concerned, they will not see any vote from South east and south south, as I said earlier, there's image to redeem, all the insults south east and south south have received from South West would be settled during 2023 elections, a lesson needs be taught.
We will rather vote and support a Goat or a Cow from the North than to support anyone from South West, since they don't want to support us, we will never support them, this is South East Youth Wing decision, remember we are in Democracy, Government of the people, by the people and for the people. We are one Nigeria.
Someone Must Receive Sense Come 2023

Even before u said it. South west knows that nothing good will come out from Ibo, because Ibo has already ruined itself politically in Nigeria. Don't worry, we don't need your vote.
We are not surprised about it, Trump is very terrible and he is a nuisance. What do u expect? Since pple of USA voted him, I knew that his administration would be surrounded with controversies. He does not deserve all the opportunities he has, but God does what he likes. He should withdraw, when another president comes, USA will join back.
nkwachii: APC shouldn't give it's ticket to South West, they don't deserve it
Be deceiving ur self. APC ticket is going to SWest, Pdp should give its ticket to SEast if Atiku allows it. But my submission is that giving Presidential ticket to SouthEast is too risky, because SE can only get little votes ftom South south, but nothing from the rest zones.
