Good one
Modified***
I would have loved to go straight to the topic but since tradition demands it and it is also noteworthy that this is my 1st FTC, I need to celebrate.
So I thank God for His unquantifiable and unparalleled grace in my life, without Him, I'm nobody. I also thank Mr Seun Osewa for creating this innovative, educative, informative and entertaining platform, may God take you higher.
I thank NYSC for paying my allowance that made me to subscribe and thanks to GEJ for increasing it to 19800, the 9800 being paid before is so inhuman. MTN eshey gan ni, haters may hate you and badmouth you, although you people can be useless at times but I remain loyal. I thank my family, people of my state except that useless governor Aregbe rubbish, I thank my girlfriend Chioma, that Ebonyi queen that always make my heart and body do Ghizz ghizz, shoutout to all Batch B Corp members in Bekwarra LG Cross River state, all nairalanders and all agents of Transformation. May God bless us all as we seek a good future for our country. No general can take us back to the old ages.
Kudos to the Nigerian Armed Forces, the Lord is your strength and may he uphold you and lead you to victory.
President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, may God be with you as you lead this nation. The bible says we should obey our leaders because they are God's representatives on earth, no man can attain leadership except God wills it. There is nothing Obasanjo, Atiku, Tinubu and Buhari can do about this divine mandate. It has been sealed till 2019.
Let there be peace and unity in your four corners, Nigeria I say peace be with you, by the prayers of the saints, Nigeria you are exalted.
HAPPY SUNDAY TO YOU ALL

nijanigga:
which soldiers, the ones running from boko harams ? Nigerian military is a disgrace, see how chad are dealing with boko haram -handiwork of your master gej.

GEJ is our master as of today. He's not God but God has made some people lords over others.

Jesusloveyou:
u saTANiod are so self centre,u don't like what wil benefit d majority,if cleaning up lagos is good for everyone,why not support d person,for gej to do what wil benefit everybody,he wil rather give it to 10 pple to be buying jets,so d guy should be happy,because he alone benefit,even if pple are dying everyday in hunger and insecurity.

*hands him/her handkerchief* wipe your tears bae

BabaO2:
Which soldiers, the same one that can not quench few Bokoharam?

Do the needful. Wait for them on the road.

Isn't it awesome that Babangida and OBJ started tweeting 2 months to the election? Buhari has 1million in his account yet his campaign team is almost outspending the PDP. Who is deceiving who?

Some 1diots on nairaland will just stay in the comfort of their rooms and be praising sub-humans like Aregbe to high heavens. The problem with our people is they don't travel around. This same Aregbe who has not paid salaries or pension for months now. He's been at logger-heads with tertiary institutions academic staff for months now. Nothing is working in Osun. Before you run your mouth, it's my state of origin so I know what I'm saying. He last paid my popman's pension in July 2014. Thank God he doesn't have to depend on the pension for survival, but what about the thousands of others who have no other means?

soroptimist:
Its a pity that our bias has made so many youths to elevate sycophancy and destruction of others to an Olympian height

Is it a sin or illegal for anybody least of all a Governor to hold a foreign currency in Nigeria?

What law has he broken by being found with wads of $1 bills


Oga ooooo.......Why do people glorify poverty of the mindset like this?

The same way FELA was jailed by Buhari for carrying foreign currency; his hard-earned money.

Whether a southern president is ruling well or not is not my biz, my biz is northerners will not continue having it their way as if they own all of us. If GEJ is not doing well, let APC field another person from his region. North does not own Nigeria. I'm a student of history, I will never forget how northerners have been turning southerners against one another just to gain power. No matter how bad a northerner is performing in govt, Northerners will never condemn him. But we in the south always sell off on our own.
I'm a Yoruba and God willing me and my family have decide that it's GEJ till 2019.

dulux07:
So what! is it GEJ money, if he is against GEJ, that shows lack of selfish interest, jst because i benefited during someone's regime, those not make that person a good leader, remember there are those that benefitted rm Abacha's regime.

Sop because you benefited during someone's regime does not make that person a good leader? Cool.
May God punish Fashola for cleaning up Lagos. How about that?

Sahara Reporters? Always having sources everywhere. I'm even sure they have sources in hell. MOFOS

Lol

Just in case

They should go to court and if they don't like the courts, they should protest on the streets like Amaechi said. I trust the soldiers.

"All politicians are liars" E.A. Adeboye 2015

Mods front page o. Let those political halleluyah boys that have been running their mouths that Aliyu is not for GEJ see their yansh outside.
Party Loyalty and Honesty. PLH 101 by Dr. Babangida Aliyu. Tambuwal needs to take this course.

sincerenigerian:


Jonathan fighting corruption on the eve of election. We are not fooled by this.

Let them gather all the old testament prophets together to assess your situation, they'll lose hope over you. Your situation is irredeemable.

At times when I look at how APC e-rats reason I can only come to the conclusion that some spiritual forces must be at work. Their thinking defies logic. They'll call someone clueless, slow and dumb today but call him Pharaoh and Nebuchadenezzar tomorrow.

Mubarack44:
and so what?
corrupt people are not supporting Buhari

Yes corrupt people don't support Pa Buhari but Glo Mega Byte (GMB) can go about campaigning with 4 private jets. Seems those jets are owned by honest people from the proceeds of their labour.

SeverusSnape:
Nice one Aliyu, but mind you, Buhari is not honest.

Believing Buhari is honest is like believing Afrocandy is a virgin

The pro-human rights group, the Civil Liberties
Organisation, has said the administration of
President Goodluck Jonathan deserves
commendation for advancing the frontiers of
fundamental human rights in the country.
The group, which addressed the press in Lagos on
Tuesday, said Jonathan should be lauded for his
commitment towards the entrenchment of
democratic ideals and values in the country.
The CLO President, Igho Akeregha and Executive
Director, Ibuchukwu Ezike, who jointly addressed the
press, said that by creating a more democratic and
freer political space, Jonathan’s administration had
been able to stem the tide of politically-motivated
assassination as was witnessed in the recent past.
It also cited the signing into law of the Freedom of
Information Act, the independence of the judiciary,
observation of the 35 per cent affirmative action on
women’s participation in governance and the recent
National Conference as gestures which exemplified
Jonathan’s commitment towards the respect for the
sanctity of citizens’ fundamental human rights in the
country.
It said, “It is worthy to note that the state of basic and
fundamental rights have generally improved under
the administration of President Goodluck Jonathan…
The CLO also observes that there is still a long way to
go in consolidating the human rights situation in
Nigeria but is encouraged by the resilience of the
current administration in entrenching democratic
ideals and values in governance processes.
“In the area of political assassinations, the country
has witnessed remarkable progress as there is hardly
the occurrence of the ugly incident. The cases of the
late Harry Marshal, Bola Ige, Funsho Williams, Dipo
Dina, Daramola in Ekiti, Dr. Ogbonnaya Uche in Imo
and many others are sad reminders of the past.”
The organisation, however, expressed concern over
the spate of political violence in the build-up to the
general elections in spite of the Peace Accord
recently signed in Abuja.
It warned that pre-election violence could easily
undermine the democratic gains recorded by the
country in the last 16 years.
It said that if Nigerians were not reassured, there
might be a low turn-out on the Election Day, a
situation which it said might put a question mark on
the credibility or general acceptance of the eventual
winner of the poll.

NIGER State Governor, Babangida Aliyu, on Tuesday
said that he had no sympathy for the presidential
candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Maj.-Gen.
Muhammadu Buhari (retd.) because his (Aliyu’s)
political ambition in 1983 was truncated by Buhari,
who became the head of state following the
December 31, 1983 coup that ended second republic.
The governor, however, said he had forgiven the
former head of state.
Aliyu said this at the President Goodluck Jonathan’s
campaign rally in Minna, the Niger State capital.
Apparently referring to reports listing him as one of
the governors who have sympathy for the
candidature of Buhari, Aliyu said he believed in
loyalty and would not leave his party and support
someone from another party.
“Some people are saying some of us have sympathy
for Buhari; I personally, my political ambition was
truncated by Buhari in 1983, my people elected me
into the House of Representatives, I was annoyed but
I have forgiven him. It gives me a lot of opportunity
to further my study,” the governor said.
According to him, the APC presidential candidate
may have “personal qualities” and may be honest but
that those qualities did not translate into public
policies.
He said, “I must say this, Buhari may be honest as an
individual, we may admire him for his personal
qualities but believe me, those qualities do not
translate into public politics.
“I am a PDP man, I believe in loyalty, if I have left
PDP, I would have resigned my mandate as a
governor because that mandate is in PDP. If anyone
says the PDP is bad, he should leave all the property
and all they got while they were in the party. They
cannot because they know they will lose everything.
We must bring the values of honesty back,” he said.

Like my people will say buredi o ki n se ounje obo, obo n roju ni. Meaning: bread no be monkey food monkey just manage am. This one don pass make up na make over. There is no way you can embellish iron, it can never become gold. If you put Ronaldo's jersey on Ahmed Musa, he can never play like #CR7.

Yesso Ambode will continue the good works of Fashola by increasing your school fees from 25k to 250k sorry I meant 450k.

Errrrm!
Just wanna say Etteh and Dino Melaye in the same party. So much for a CHANGE.

berem:
Nawao! Upon all the money Oledepo has,he's still collecting bribe? Or is he not part of the compromising pastors?

Ironically I'll say blessed is that man that married/will marry a baby elephant like you. Anytime you speak, you reek of someone who lacks a capacity to use her brain very well. It will even be an insult to a sewer rat to call you one. How low can you go? Can you even go lower than this? Wait is anything wrong with you? Are you cursed or suffering from a generational infirmity? Do you have a family or have you been neglected? If you have one, they should have found a solution to your spiritual ailment. Were you not the one hailing Rev Fr. MBarca or MChelsea to high heavens when he endorsed Buhari? Now they said some pastors endorsed Jonathan and without you confirming it, you opened up that stinking gutter outlet on your face you called a mouth to insult men of God. Nobody is saying you shouldn't support a political party, but please always do it with decorum and with utmost respect for other persons views. Having different views makes us human. Live and let live.

And where is Buhari on the list?

I'm coming back
Meanwhile Civilian JTF will watch over this plot till I come back.

Amaechi needs a psychiatric evaluation. It's people like Amaechi that subject Christian leaders to ridicule. I know very well how muslim clerics whether in the north or southwest canvass for votes fanatically and unrepentantly for muslim candidates in elections. In fact even elections in tertiary institutions are not left out. But you will never hear anything outside. How many times have you seen muslim politicians subjecting muslim clerics to ridicule before in the name of politics? Whether in the north or southwest the answer is NEVER. Or do you want to tell me muslim clerics don't dabble into politics at all? And those of you joining Amaechi in calling those men of God names should bury your heads in shame, that's how you unknowingly bring curses upon yourselves. Imagine one product of a failed family institution calling someone OLEDEPO. Haaa!!! It's better for some people not to be born.

And to think that Tinubu's wife is a pastor SMH. No wonder Pastor Adeboye said all politicians are liars.

YEEEEEEEEEEES! LEGGO!
Like an advert I came across inside Tribune by Concerned Christian Youths of the North Central and Southern Nigeria. They said that Buhari filled in his presidential nomination form that he is the patron of National Association of Pastoralists but has never deemed it fit to openly condemn the senseless killings and destructions of farmlands and villages in the North central and southern Nigeria by Fulani herdsmen of whom he is their national leader. They concluded by saying they can never give him their votes no matter how badly Jonathan might have performed.
Meanwhile a friend wrote this on his FB wall.............
WHEN THE DITTY SEEMS ALLURING THAN THE
COMMODITY: OF POLITICS AND A DEBATE.
I was born and bred in Lagos and I still recall vividly
what it is that entices a customer to what you sell. It is
common parlance to see different sellers evolve
different ditty as a measure of drawing the attention of
their prospective customers. Much of this ditty become
a brand with which a seller is differentiated from
another. More often than not, the ditty plays a major
role in determining the sales of the seller. In fact, you
cannot be in a market such as Aswani,Katankow
a,Oyingbo,Idumota, and a host of others,and not
employ the use of a ditty. The same also applies to
those who are hawking one article of trade or the
other. Those who are exempted from this, as much as I
know, are those whose shops are situated within a
neighbourhood.
However, the ditty could also be a veritable instrument
of distraction and deceit. It will be foolhardy to
conclude that a commodity is good or in good shape
based on the way it is advertised. Experience has
taught me this although some people have learnt it the
hard way. There are many times that you will discover
that as alluring as the ditty may be,what is being sold is
nothing but a sham. Take Katankowa as an example, it
is not uncommon to hear the seller shout,"Buy my
cloth,na correct Grade A jean from Cotonou"(Buy this
cloth I sell, it is a Grade A jean pants from Cotonou)
and on sampling it, you come to discover that the Jean
in question is an unworthy Grade C Jean. As a regular
customer of the second-hand market, I have seen so
much of this to know better. I still even recall an uncle
of mine who went to buy a 'no-testing' TV. 'No-testing'
is a phraseology for electronic sets that you are
expected to buy without window-shopping it(although
it costs less compared to those which you can window-
shop). My Uncle was watching NTA newsline,less than
three weeks that he bought the TV, when the TV shut
down - that was the end of the TV.
Political debates can be seen as a form of window-
shopping. During the whole journey of campaigns,
what each candidate does is to make a run-through of
their manisfesto. Unfortunately, and as you find it in an
inaugural lecture or a sermon, the electorates are not
privileged to ask questions or allowed to have an
amplified position as regards the different
programmes that they seek to roll out. For instance,
when a candidate list Health as one of the sectors
where it aim to focus on, the debate will create the
needed avenue for such a candidate to explain how he
intended to go about his plans for the health sector.
The debate also allows the electorates to acquaint
themselves with what to expect should the candidate
emerge at the polls. This is the essence of a political
debate in every clime I know. As a student-politician in
my university days, political debates were a way of
testing the intellectual waters of each candidate as well
as a way of knowing how acquainted they are with
practices outside their immediate shores.
In Nigeria,political debates are not a new
phenomenon. It was through such debates that
Nigerians got to know of the intellectual poverty of
Bashir Tofa. The saddening thing however is that there
seem to be a recurrent tradition of shunning debates
by some political personages on thrump-up
allegations. Obasanjo started it by selecting what
debate to attend (He chose the NTA-organised debate);
Yar'adua followed suit in 2007; and Jonathan toed the
path in 2011. 2015 is here and we are already seeing a
replay of such a scenario. The APC which is having a
warm acceptance with the electorates is already
throwing it at us that their Presidential candidate will
not be attending the political debates. Suffice to say
that the APC had turned down the debates earlier
organised by Broadcasting Organisation of Nigeria
(BON) as well as that of the National Elections Debate
Group (NEDG) on the ground of the partisanship of
those who are anchoring the debates. I quite agree
with the APC on the boycott of the two debates given
the unprofessional conduct of media outfits such as
AIT, NTA, and The Punch Newspaper in this whole
electioneering campaign. As I have maintained
elsewhere, such a debate will only be an inquisition.
Does anybody remember how NTA gave Obasanjo the
questions of the debate in 2003 and how someone
scribbled a sheet of paper to Obasanjo's palm when a
knotty question was posed at Baba?
However,I am still at sea over why the APC or any party
at that will refuse to participate in the Channels TV,
Arise TV, Newspaper Practitioners Association of
Nigeria (NPAN). Without mincing words, Channels TV
has remained the only hope of the Nigerian when it
comes to news reportage because of its near-objective
reportage of events. Arise TV is a new online TV and it
is owned by the owners of ThisDay newspaper- a
newspaper that boasts of some of the best columnists
in this country as well as an indepth report of news.
The Newspaper practitioners are a compendium of all
newspaper owners and much cannot be said of their
non-partisanship. Having explained the composition of
this debate, one cannot but wonder what claim of
partisanship the APC aims to throw up in defence of its
boycott this time around. Soludo recently admonished
in his article that the debates should begin but I doubt
how the debates can start when one candidate is
shying away from having a debate with others. How
can the electorates properly assess the programmes of
candidates if debates are not held. Both Jonathan and
Buhari have so much to answer and boycotting such
forum amounts to an insult on the collective
intelligence of the intelligentsia in this country.
Let me state here that as much as the literate (By this I
mean logical) ones in this country are not up to thirty
percent of the total population, no party should deny
this sacred population its birth-right as we are the ones
that determine how the opinion poll sways. It is our
duty as the intelligentsia to inform the remaining
seventy percent of what our thought process should
follow and we can only be informed when these
candidates afford us the needed information to
critically assess their ideas. As I have mentioned earlier
in this article, boycotting the debate amounts to selling
a 'no-testing' electronics to us. It is most pathetic that a
political party will call our bluff and still expect to have
our votes. That happens only in Nigeria!
As much as nothing can make me go for GEJ or
anything that represents it, I will not be so stupid that I
will give my vote to someone I cannot conveniently
assess his programmes. As much as I desire change, I
do not seek a 'no-testing' change. I remembered that in
2011 when I campaigned vigorously for GMB, I
criticized GEJ's refusal to attend a debate and it will
amount to double standard if in 2015 my GMB is
refusing to also attend a debate. As they say, those who
live in glass houses must learn not to throw stones.
