Let me park my TATA indigo here 4 d Vawulence

Honda is a worldwide engine manufacturer from cars to boats to airplanes. Their engines are very good but Toyota cannot be relegated to the background too because their hybrid synergy drive engine is top in the world, everybody's favorite.

Now let the challenge begin
Honda 2.4L k series vs toyota 2.4L 2azfe. Here the honda beats the toyota in reliability, power and overall usage. The honda k series has less complaints than the 2azfe popular competition Honda accord vs toyota camry

Honda J series 3.0L to 3.7L vs toyota Mz/2gr series. Here the J series did well but has some issues in some model like the EOD and DC 3.0L V6 was plagued with some issues but the J series.is still solid starting from the Honda legend of the 1990s to the brutal power coming out from the RL and other powerful sedans.

The 1mzfe 3.0L, 3mzfe 3.3L to the 2grfe 3.5L were very okay but some error in the design of the 2gr seen as oil cooler line collapse without engine shutdown with low oil, the 1mzfe was plagued with oil burn in sienna and.lexus Rx300 though not as pronounced as the 2azfe, the 3.3L was the best but if the timing belt cut in motion

Honda is a very good engine manufacturer but toyota too also try. Respect to the Toyota UZ C8 engines

All this are needless stories to confound and confuse . Go to Google and search..Toyota is rated as the best in the world in their various categories , by American autoraters. Honda is not even in the picture at all. Go and search in Google and confirm. No arguments.

I usually avoid threads like this, filled with "beer parlor" information from ignorant and uninformed people, but I have time this morning, na bank holiday here.

Sometimes e good to apply common sense to everything in life first.

Toyota is overwhelmingly the most popular automaker in much of Nigeria, except for pockets in the North where its often neck and neck with or beaten by Honda, Peugeot, etc.

Applying common sense to this fact, which brand engines you feel say go full market?

If 6 of 10 vehicles on the roads are Toyota vehicles, would you expect to go to an auto parts market and 6 of 10 engines would be Honda engines? Common sense.

If 6 of 10 people own toyotas, knowing Nigerians are generally bad at vehicle maintenance, which model you feel say people go find their spare parts more? Common sense

Are Toyotas perfect? Definitely not. Specific models have specific issues. But una no dey ever tire for this "Toyotas are light" or "Toyotas are easily stolen", among several other ignorant and unsubstantiated statements?

Toyotas are in high demand all over the world. It is not a Nigerian phenomenon. The Corolla is the best selling passenger sedan worldwide for a reason, and the people that came up with that conclusion did not even factor Nigeria into their research, because how many people dey buy car brand new for Nigeria?

If toyotas are in such high demand and command relatively high prices compared to similar models in the same class, which models do you think thieves would target?

Thief wey steal Honda Civic, how much you feel say im go sell am for?

Third wey vandalize Honda Accord parts like ECU, window switches, Entertainment system, how much e go sell am for?

Why that thief no go target Toyota instead?

Common sense.

Whenever you wan claim say Toyotas dey light, get online and find the gross weight of the model, and compare it with the gross weight of a similar non-Toyota in the same category. You may find that the Toyota may be lighter or heavier than the other model. The point is, enlighten yourself with facts, not what Monsuru mechanic said after 6 bottles.

If person begin analyse all the ignorance fueled information on this page, e go be full time job, I already have one of those, so I no do.

If after this, common sense still no wan enter your head, my brother or sister, carry go.

This guy's advice is your take unless you're born a dullard and raised as one . I had wanted to post and refer you to to Google where I read recently about Toyota as being number one in the world in their category , all their brands. I don’t know why people come to this beer parlour, called Nairaland, located in the jungle to seek advice. Nairaland is a shanty city of dullard, fools, idiots, never-do-wells, illiterates, semi-literates, scammers, druggies, the poor, the hopeless , the wretched, goons, urchins, area boys, agberos, etc.

Osinbajo's Problematic Ambition - The Cable by jbow: 5:11am
After several months of speculations and seemingly unending denials by his spokesperson, Laolu Akande, Vice President Yemi Osinbanjo on Monday, April 11, finally declared his intention to contest for the office of the president in 2023. The months-long delay, according to very reliable sources was ostensibly due to his repeated failure to secure Buhari’s anointing as the preferred or consensus candidate despite several entreaties and lobbying. Unfortunately for him, the APC constitution does not make room for the nomination of a presidential candidate by consensus. It is either direct or indirect primary. With time running out and less than two months to the APC presidential primary, he took his destiny into his hands and declared notwithstanding. Therefore, similar to other persons who have declared interest in the office of the president come 2023, it is apposite to also interrogate the declaration of Osinbajo’s ambition. Given his position as a sitting vice president, his ambition will be interrogated from three perspectives, namely: hard facts, soft facts and leavings.

On hard facts, Osinbajo’s performance as head of the economic management team (EMT), chairman of the National Economic Council (NEC) and chairman of the board of the Debt Management Office (DMO) for the past seven years is a complete disaster. The scorecard reflects the complete failure of the man whom the 1999 constitution saddled with the responsibility of managing the Nigerian economy. The statistics are quite damning. For instance, the price of a 50kg bag of rice has increased by 200% from ₦10,000 in 2015 to ₦30,000 in 2022 while a 50kg bag of cement has increased by 150% from ₦1,800 to ₦4,500 over the same period. The price per litre of petrol, diesel and kerosene has increased by 90% from ₦87 to ₦165, by 330% from ₦151 to ₦650 and by 110% from ₦198 to ₦415 respectively between 2015 and 2022. The price of a 12.5kg cylinder of cooking gas has increased by 204% from ₦2,800 to ₦8,500 while a Lagos-to-Abuja flight ticket has increased by 317% from ₦12,000 to ₦50,000 over the aforementioned reference period.

The official exchange rate has depreciated by 116% from ₦192.4/$ in 2015 to ₦416.4/$ in 2022 (the parallel market is currently at ₦590/$) while inflation and unemployment rates increased by 6% from 9.3% to 15.7% and by 24% from 9.2% to 33.3% respectively between 2015 and 2022. Whereas the Nigerian economy grew by 2.65% in 2015, it contracted by -1.79% in 2022 (Nigeria’s economy nosedived into a recession twice between 2016 and 2021 under the stewardship of Osinbajo). Foreign debt has increased by 268% from $10.3bn in 2015 to $38bn in 2022 while domestic debt has increased by 123% from ₦10.1 trillion to ₦22.4 trillion over the same period thus resulting in a 214% increase in total public debt from ₦12.1 trillion in 2015 to ₦38 trillion in 2022 yet with seemingly nothing to show for it. The Excess crude account (ECA) balance declined by 98% from $2.1 billion in 2015 to a paltry $35.8 million in 2022. With this kind of performance which is F9 (total failure) by any standard in the world, why did Osinbajo declare an intention to run for president in 2023? If as the man directly in charge of  economic management of the country, you failed woefully in seven years, what can and will you do differently in 2023?

As proof of the statistics reeled out above and in pseudo-reinforcement of the same, Osinbajo’s declaration speech failed to mention a single achievement in seven years. Yes, not one single achievement was mentioned in the speech because there is no achievement to brandish. How can a man superintend over a country’s economic affairs for seven years and yet, cannot point to a single achievement? Shouldn’t what he has achieved in office be the basis for campaigning for office in 2023? To worsen matters, he said in the declaration speech that he would continue what Buhari has started. That is classic hate speech and it is extremely offensive to Nigerians! Buhari failed on security and anti-corruption while Osinbajo failed on the economy. What is there to continue or build on? In saner climes, Buhari and Osinbajo would and should be apologizing to Nigerians for their abysmal failure and not even contemplating running for president. Osinbajo becoming president in 2023 is akin to giving the ignominious duo a 3rd term in office. It must not happen! Nigeria needs a fresh start and a complete break-away from the past seven inglorious years. Besides the economy, Osinbajo lectured in UNILAG and was a member of ASUU. ASUU, his primary constituency, has been on strike for months. What has Osinbajo done as VP to resolve the issue? There is a world of difference between parading paper qualifications and execution. Oratory is cheap and the incompetence is benumbing.

On soft facts, Osinbajo has a moral burden hanging on his neck and this speaks to four issues, namely: ingratitude and betrayal, and loyalty and trust. On ingratitude and betrayal, the two positions Osinbajo has held in public office have been through Bola Tinubu’s imprimatur. Tinubu first appointed him as attorney general and commissioner for justice in Lagos (1999–2007) and sacrificed his ambition by nominating Osinbajo as running mate/VP to Buhari in December 2014 (VP from 2015 – date). Having ridden on the back of Tinubu, if Tinubu declares intention for an office, should Osinbajo indicate interest in the same office too? It is the height of ingratitude, treachery and betrayal. It shows a man who has no principles and does not appreciate favours. He is simply an ungrateful being. The speaker of the house of representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, and Babatunde Fashola, minister of works, two protégés of Tinubu are equally qualified to run for the office of the president. Given that Jagaban had indicated an interest in the same office in January, they shelved their ambitions for the greater good of the south-west region. What makes Osinbajo think he is the only one qualified in the south-west to run for president? He is a bad party man. A polling unit loser with zero political structure and completely detached from the grassroots.

On loyalty and trust, while Buhari was ill and attending to his health in London, Osinbajo made some dangerous political moves including sacking Buhari’s cousin, Lawal Daura, the director-generalcousin, Lawal Daura, the director-general of the Department of State Services (DSS). Osinbajo made this move and took other major steps against the backdrop and his personal wish, prayer and expectation that Buhari will not return alive. Not only did he sack Daura, he equally removed some newly appointed public office holders by Buhari and replaced them with his cronies. Examples include Alhaji Waheed Olagunju (a Yoruba Muslim) who was appointed acting MD/CEO of Bank of Industry by Buhari in 2016 but was fired by Osinbajo and swiftly replaced with Kayode Pitan, an RCCG pastor who presided over the same parish where Osinbajo presided before his assumption of office as VP. Kayode’s appointment was with immediate effect. More on Osinbajo’s RCCG bigotry later.

Osinbajo also hurriedly reconstituted the board of National Pension Commission (PenCom) by sacking Dikko Aliyu Abdulrahman as DG of Pencom and speedily replacing him with Funsho Doherty. Buhari had previously appointed Abdulrahman as DG and Funsho Doherty as chairman, both of PenCom in April 2017 but within a month (May 2017), Osinbajo undid everything. Only a dare-devil would have done what Osinbajo did. His forecast of Buhari’s making it back alive was sub-zero. He was never to be trusted with power again and hence the reason why Buhari never handed over to him again to date no matter the number of days Buhari is away on medical vacation. To complicate matters for Osinbajo, the northern establishment view his declaration for the office of the president as an affront to his benefactor and second-level betrayal. They are of the view that if this man could betray his principal (Buhari) and betray his benefactor (Tinubu), there’s nothing he cannot do to achieve his ambition and nobody is indispensable or un-expendable to him. In the eye of the north, Osinbajo will sell his soul to the devil for a pot of porridge. Therefore, such a man cannot and must not be trusted with power.

Osinbajo is not loyal to anyone but his unbridled ambition. Put simply, Osinbajo has displayed disloyalty twice. He will never be trusted again. Unfortunately for him, loyalty is the currency of politics. Once you fail the loyalty test, you are down and out. To add insult to injury, this week, Osinbajo’s campaign team released a 32-page document titled “The Plan (Abridged)” which they say he will implement to address insecurity, infrastructure, manufacturing, governance reforms and so on. The question begging for an answer is: if this man had the plan to tackle insecurity, what has he been doing for seven years? He attends FEC meetings every week and the periodic security council meetings. What does he tell them there? If he has a plan to fix security, why didn’t he share it with his boss and the security council? Did he deliberately prep Buhari’s government to fail? This is another case of disloyalty and working at cross-purposes with his principal. Why did he turn down the memo for security installation on the railway lines at one of the September 2021 FEC meetings thereby contributing to and facilitating the infamous bombing of the Abuja-Kaduna train with several human casualties? Osinbajo has been undermining this government for years and in several ways— has blood on his hands.

On leavings, despite winning and dining with politicians, public sector and private sector officials, his extensive education and international exposure, Osinbajo has unfortunately and paradoxically, remained a narrow-minded and parochial person. Osinbajo sees a Nigerian first as either an RCCG member or not. Virtually all his appointees are members of RCCG, not just RCCG members, many are pastors starting with his spokesperson, Pastor Laolu Akande. His bromance with cosmopolitan Tinubu and the Lagos political and private sector establishments over several decades was expected to have rubbed off positively on him so that he is more broadminded, accommodating and religiously tolerant. Unfortunately for Osinabjo, the more he rolled with the elites, the further steeped in religious bigotry and Christian fundamentalism he became. Given his professorship, SANship, private sector and public sector experience, Osinbajo has shown that you can take a pig out of the gutter but you cannot take the gutter out of the pig. His professorship and years of lecturing in UNILAG are a complete waste of expensive education.

The story of Osinbajo filling the social intervention programme (SIP) offices with members of RCCG and ensuring that members of RCCG benefited enormously to the exclusion of Muslims and other non-RCCG Christians is the stuff of legend. The story of how huge funds were grossly mismanaged and embezzled by members of RCCG in the SIP office is one of the reasons why President Buhari removed the SIP office from the VP’s purview gave it to the newly created ministry of humanitarian affairs, disaster management and social development superintended by Sadiya Umar Farouq while over 30 officers (overwhelmingly RCCG members) in the SIP office were sacked by the presidency. Several of them were investigated and found to have bought properties in the United States with funds misappropriated from the SIP budget. The quiet easing out and the decision not to prosecute the culprits was to save the VP from public embarrassment.

If Osinbajo sees a Nigerian first as either an RCCG-member or not, why does he want to become the president of a multi-religious Nigeria with a Muslim-majority population? There are non-RCCG Christians, Muslims and atheists in the country. Adeboye is 80 years old and close to the departure lounge. Osinbajo should rather declare an intention to replace Adeboye when the octogenarian retires or passes on. That would be a better and more fitting declaration and calling than wanting to be president of 200 million Nigerians. A presidential ambition based on phantom spiritual prophecy is an anaesthetized presidential dream which can only be actualised with the change of guard at the GO-level at the RCCG camp on Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, not at Aso Villa where a broadminded, religiously liberal, inclusive and accommodating bridge-builder and unifier is required.

In conclusion, given the above, Osinbajo should be apologising to Nigerians for the Chevrolet Aveo 2007 model of the current administration. Nigerians are worse off in 2022 compared to 2015 when Buhari and Osinbajo assumed office. Nigeria must not be afflicted twice with a backdoor 3rd term for the current Buhari-Osinbajo administration which has failed on all socio-economic parameters, measures and indices. It is an insult to the sensibilities of Nigerians that Osinbajo even intends to contest for the office of the president in 2023. What an affront!

The definition of ' youth' has become meaningless in Nigeria. Everybody puts the age limits of youth according to his own needs and desires. Or how can you describe Ahmed Lawan , born 1959 and 63 years old, as young. When would be ol when civil servants are statutorily required at the old age of 60 years for diminished productivity. So also have they Jonathan, born in 1955 and 67 years old ,as a youth. So you youth must take note that when they posture to champion the cause of the youth, you're not the youth they have in mind, but themselves.

and you think they practice it, I've been there bro, countless times and nothing like that exists. These guys can push drugs and engage in life threatening task, but not rituals for money. They are hard working and money driven of course, that's why you see them convert every opportunity to a business strategy. I noticed that most people with tribalistic ideas are people who haven't travelled out of their regions before. It's good you take your time off and visit the region or try to blend with those who are in your region, you'll get to see that your beliefs don't really apply in reality.

You have narrow mind. Travelled there ior live there? Do you fully understand understand the cultural practices of tribe just by visiting them? I've lived in Enugu for some time. Are you too young to know about Okija saga and Otokoto. Go to Abakaliki and Okigwe and learn. You're defending the indefensible because you lack knowledge. Even the Ibos don't outrightly deny , because they know. They prefer to pretend not notice. How many of them have joined issues with me on this matter. See example below:
Authorities in Abia State have sealed off Merry Home Hotels over the mysterious death and disappearance of some of its clients who lodged at the facility.

While the body of a yet-to-be-identified lady was recovered from the facility, several others reportedly went missing with no news of their whereabouts.

Dr Eze Chikamnayo, the Commissioner of Information in Abia, confirmed this to Channels Television on Saturday in Umuahia, the state capital.

He explained that the government’s action became necessary in view of repeated reports of death and disappearance of clients under questionable circumstances within the premises of the hotel located within the 7UP axis of Ogbor Hill in Aba.

The commissioner stated that the most recent such case was the death of a lady who came in with two young men and a baby in the afternoon on April 15, as confirmed by the CCTV footage in the hotel.

He added that the men left with the baby hours later without the lady, only for the hotel management to break into the room at midnight to find the lady dead with her body dismembered.

Chikamnayo revealed that the government was in receipt of reports suggesting similar incidents within the hotel, especially at the swimming pool area.

He stressed that no responsible government would fold its arms and watch criminal hotspots remain while the Okezie Ikpeazu-led administration would not allow such an environment to thrive.

The commissioner confirmed that everyone suspected to be involved in the April 15 incident has been arrested by the police while the hotel would remain sealed in the meantime.

According to him, Abia is a no-go area for ritualists and murderers and the government has zero tolerance for any form of criminality.

Chikamnayo warned that any hotel in the state that offers itself for such practice would automatically be sealed and the culprits would be brought to justice.

He also advised parents to monitor their children’s movement properly to ensure they do not fall victim to ritualists and other criminally minded individuals.

Police authorities in the state have also confirmed the death of the lady, saying efforts were ongoing to arrest and bring her killers to justice.

Mr Geoffrey Ogbonna, the Police Public Relations Officer in Abia, said the body of the yet-to-be-identified lady has since been deposited at a morgue.

The State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department (SCIID), according to him, is handling the case and residents are advised to support the police with useful information regarding the incident.

Ladies Stripped Unclad In Anambra, Private Parts Cut Off By Ritualists (Photo) by BoneBlogger(m): 9:15pm On Nov 15, 2018

Nigerian ladies have been warned to be careful of whom they follow and relate with especially this critical time of the year.

The warning is coming following the gruesome killings of two young ladies by men suspected to be ritualists in Anambra.

According to Prince Chijioke, the two ladies were found dead on Wednesday morning (yesterday) with their private parts and breasts cut off in Umunze, Orumba South Local Government Area of the State.

Their naked corpses were left abandoned by the roadside to the shock of the villagers. 

Some months ago, a 30-year old woman was found dead opposite Saint Mary Catholic Church, Obieze village, Ifitedunu in Dunukofia local government area of Anambra State.

Segregational politics caused it, you can use the present happening were govs of Abia and Enugu are canvassing for wike when other SE politicians are there

You're wrong. In 2nd Republic, you were were no 3 and couldn't even move beyond the Iboland. The South East as represented by Zik and NPP had majority just in only old Anambra and Imo States. Alhaji Ibrahim Waziri of GNPP also had majority in old States of Bornu and Gongola. Obafemi Awolowo of UPN had majority in the old Oyo, Ogun, Ondo, Bendel and Lagos States, while Shagari of NPN had majority in the remaining States of the federation. In both the 1st and 2nd Republics Awolowo was the runner up. In the 1st Republic, Tafawa Balewa that had the majority votes, had less than what was required to form a government. Awolowo who was the runner up could clinch the premiership by going into alliance with Zik, and he actually approached Zik for this .But Zik chose to dash himself to Balewa to spite Awolowo in particular, and the Yorubas in general. That was why Zik was given the office of the president, a powerless position in Parliamentary system of government. You don't expect a senior partner in a political alliance to agree to occupy a less powerful office? Zik did not get to that position through any political prowess, but by default and disloyalty to the South-West. Also in the 2nd Republic Awolowo was the runner up in the 1979 presidential election. And of course, we must all remember the celebrated 2/3 majority by which Shagari was narrowly declared winner after a keen and celebrated legal tussle between Awolowo and Shagari. Shagari subsequently invited Awolowo to him to the government, but he refused preferring to remain in opposition. Zik eventually lobbied for this ,and the NPP was given a few harmless ministerial post and Ume Ezeoke was made the speaker of the house of representatives, an NPP man. And Dr Alex Ekwueme became the VP by party arrangements and not by any contribution or sagacity of the APP or any Iboman. It is this false and erroneous belief and chestbeating that has always been the bane of the Ibo people. Why would you not state facts as they are ? This is history, you are not the only one who knows about it.

Only if they knows they cant remain in power forever. Where is Babangida, Gowon, Abduslam, OBJ and co today. Power is transient, you cant have it forever even if you are a dictator, so what is the point in feeling like a God or oppressing other with it.

In no time we would soon forget them all - distant and faded in our memories.

Good morning and happy new month nairalanders.

I will not be calling the name of any church, but why do some churches takes the deads to the church and pray for their sins to be forgiven before they are laid to rest?

Note, that most of this person are kept long in murtuary for months, and some even last up to years in the murtuary. But when it is time for their burial, they are first taken to the church for prayers. This prayer is mostly centered on asking God to forgive their sins and accep their souls into his kingdom (heaven).

My questions;

* Is taken dead bodies to the church good in the sight of God?

* Is the fate of the dead decided immidiately after death, or after they are burried?

* Can our sin be forgiven after death?

No to all your queries. But the dead have to be taken to the Church that he might be robbed of all the cash remaining him.

Tinubu & Osinbajo can NEVER break rank. You can take that to the bank. Osinbajo is either working for Tinubu's emergency or Tinubu is working for Osinbajo's emergency.

Do you think suddenly, I meant all of a sudden DANGOTE TRAILER will just easily pass through the midst Jagaban and the Starboy Osinbajo, Tinubu's Attorney General for 8 years or so? THINK AGAIN!

It's one of these two that's happening:

1. Tinubu knew clearly he would have opposition from within. He plans for betrayal even from you even if you are in bed with him. He definitely knew almost all of them that formed APCheat are ambitious criminals, who want to rule Nigeria by any means. He could have asked Osinbajo to get in the race, to mop up delegates who are pro-Osinbajo for himself during the primary. It's just to tell them who to vote for while the star boy back out.

Difficult right? Doesn't even make sense huummm? Don't underestimate Jagaban.

2. Tinubu may have intention to run, but back out to support Osinbajo candidacy. But as a bad ass political juggernaut, having sample the pulse of Nigerians, & the cabal that don't want him, due to this thinking that he won't be easily controlled and the fact that there is an aura of thievery around him, he might have been in the race to protect his star boy. Knowing fully well that the power that be in the North want AMECHI, and other interests who would want to create problems for his primed joker.

Jagaban won't step down, so that people don't code his game plan, APCheat will do the primary and he will lose to Osinbajo. He would publicly accept the results and declared support for who the party elected at the primary (the star boy). In fact, Many of us here in Nairalan will hail him for being a party man. It's all part of the game.

But I tell you with pin point accuracy, SW will be represented on the APCheat ticket. Even you cannot trust Ayo Adebanjo of PDP, Jagaban has his receipts.


Politics is a game in Nigeria.

Hint:

1. SanwoOlu, Lagos houseboy was in Osinbajo's residency along with other APC Governors on SUNDAY night before Starboy declared to run. Remember, you all saw him declared early morning the following day.

2. SanwoOlu, the Lagos Houseboy stood right behind Tinubu on MONDAY when he made the infamous remarks that he doesn't have a son old enough to contest against him in the APC primary. That's a day after hobnobbing with Osinbajo the star boy.

Does SanwoOlu has the liver to dance to both drum beats from Jagaban and Osinbajo on opposing sides.? You answer is as good as mine.

I leave you to imagine what Obasa and his house of assembly would have used to welcome him from Abuja.

Most brilliant political analysis I have seen in recent times. And so devoid of partisanship.

MikoB:
I am more yoruba than yourself, so Osinbajo is igbo? You guys think Tinubu is yorubas' project, I don't blame you anyway, probably you are living in lagos and unfortunately even lagos is a dissapointment when it comes to good governance, you can imagine a state with a bigger gdp than that of Oslo and many other European cities capitals, cannot even boast of tarred roads all over , talkless of other modern infrastructural facilities,I am yoruba that doesn't make me to be blind to the truth. And with Osinbajo as the president, Lagos will be liberated from the hand of one man sitting on the destiny of over 20 million lagosians, imagine lagos Governor couldn't start and complete over 6km Road at a stretch all the roads he has commissioned are less than 7km at a stretch , is that not a shame? Whereas, akwa ibom governor commissioned over 29km of Road at a stretch recently, where is lagos money going?

Akwa Ibom can commission one million roads , because it's a primitive and rural State just developing..How many of such roads can you find in your Akwa Ibom? But go round your area in Lagos and you will count thousands,which are not just recently built, but have always been even before old Cross River State was created, talkless of Akwa Ibom.

You don't know what you're talking about. Meaningless speculations. Fayemi has no weight in Yorubaland beyond Ekiti State and Osinbajo who just got to Ogun State has a very , very weak and rudimentary structure in Ogun State, as he is attempting to rebuild Gbenga Daniel's old dilapidated structure. And Amosun's political strength doesn't extend beyond Ogun West, the same region that Gbenga Nasiru Isiaka ( GNI) the one spearheading Osinbajo’s political structure, also a political son of Gbenga Daniel, comes from. You people would just pick up your pen and start to spin up theories you have neither facts nor information to prove. Political allegiance and loyalty is not just changed overnight, nor frivolously. You analyse for foolish , naive and gullible people like yourself.

Dagogo represents Degema/Bonny Federal Constituency in the House of Reps.

Wike, a thug par excellence. This is the brazen thuggery and autocracy is coming to practice at the centre.

Lazy fellow. All these petty presidential aspirants think that they are applying to attend a tea party. Indolent laggards.

Spilling rubbish from mouth as usual

So accountants and engineers should put integrity in their cv to get jobs that are not available

I'm a born-again Christian, but don't him. Don't they pray for deliverance for the jobless to get jobs at Winners where he grew up as a pastor? Are people not giving testimonies of miraculous job offers such prayers? When people come for such prayers, do they ask them to go and work on their integrity? These pastors would just sometimes come up with doctrines that have no Biblical roots. All he wants to do is to emphasise integrity, but he's getting it all very wrong. Are there not pastors without integrity who are making it ?
