sanusijoyjoy:I just saw an AIT interview of Sowore on youtube. He answered this particular question and more. Infact, I must say that I was convinced to a great degree about his sincerity of purpose and understanding of what the job entails. You mentioned propaganda so I'd like you to share it or if there's a url or some resource where I can obtain this material. Cos, I'm about to decide. However, it's another kettle of fish altogether whether he'll win. |
Okay na |
Saddening |
Good but. . . He'd be on the right track incorporating an electric charging and storage system as the power source instead of fossil fuel. My own is this: They won't support this one with overseas trips to goan learn how to improve and possibly, perfect this invention. If na mbgn or some other valueless thing now, na N10m, toyota suv and all-expense-paid trips upandan. They know diasef |
Hmmm . . . Wise words but sad ones nonetheless What's the solution though? ImperialYoruba: |
showafrica:You should watch the debate on youtube. For reasons best known to the Op, this thread is focused on the submission of the APC candidate. Agbaje, the PDP candidate said he'll tackle Traffic, Power and Waste management, commendable right? Wait till you watch the delivery of the night's dark horse, the ADP candidate. |
Trust? Trust, like oil, isn't such a valuable commodity these days anymore. Obasanjo became Nigeria's president based on trust and goodwill. I remember his delivery on May 29, 1999. He'd just come out of Abacha and Mustapha's detention gulag in some hole in the ground so, the understanding was this: having suffered so much and become so lean (he'd become so emaciated), he feel the pain of the masses the most and act likewise. I wasn't eligible to vote then but I was confident that he was the man to be trusted to do the job well. Needless to say, we couldn't be farther from the truth. Jonathan succeeded his boss based on trust and goodwill due to the Yar Adua charade. We saw how that one went: his ministers are still being chased till today all over the globe by interpol to answer the EFCC. Buhari defeated Jonathan probably with the greatest trust and goodwill that any Nigerian leader so far (probably except MKO Abiola) has had. We are still seeing how that one is playing out. So, I daresay that trust alone won't solve the problem. I might be wrong too but I think we should work towards having a platform or system that steers and keeps focus of government policies both at the planning and execution level on the basic and urgent issues. How can we achieve this? By looking at those they surround themselves with. Let's look away from big party with big money and focus on true party with real intentions. For example, the ADP dude running for Lagos governor. I'd never heard of him before last night's debate. You can check it out on youtube and reach your own conclusions. |
My broda, na so o? As d economi dey give person sleepless nights nko, na wetin we go do? It's just sad that after the whole event where there's such an overwhelming consensus as to who should get support of the polity at polls, the results get to show that it was all just an academic exercise. ![]() Looking on the bright side, it feels good to know that we have good hands and brains who are willing to face the powers that be for a chance to do the job of improving our lot. Even, if he stands the slimmest chance of the three, from what I saw on the youtube clips of the whole debate, I will vote for him regardless. He did his homework so he deserves it. ikorodureporta: |

I'd rather just show you. I'll take my time though Wallade: |
Why is it so hard for y'all to have an argument and remain objective. You didn't need to get subjective over this. If you have a contrary opinion, present it. If you don't, don't lose your objectivity. The point isn't whether she insulted her father or not. The point is that she did not call her father a monster and I elucidated accordingly. You really don't need to insult my late dad over this. Trust me, there are things that you need but you don't need this. This is an advice. Henceforth, be cautious. Wallade: |

She made allusions to what others said. When Fela sang, ". . . That my mama wey you kill. . . ", he was making allusions to what they might have called her and killed her as a result but, he made it clear that he has a different opinion about her: ". . . She's the only mother of Nigeria. . . " When allusions are made in such manner, they only refer to the opinion of those being quoted. It's simple comprehension. QED Wallade: |
When a person or party of people accuse another person or party of rape and paedophilia and a 3rd person or party decides to label the accused as a rapist(s) and a paedophile(s), the 3rd party, in effect, passes judgement without the defendant's submission. Even bank robbers who commit heinous crimes with numerous eye witnesses present and video evidence still get fair hearing. Michael Jackson was accused of paedophilia and went to court over the issue but that didn't make him lose the love and respect of billions globally during and after the brouhaha. If my daughter reported being assaulted in similar manner, I'd investigate it and allow the law to take its course. I won't go up in arms over what hasn't been proven yet. Bill Cosby's case went to court and after hearing his side of the story, he was found culpable and punished accordingly. It still didn't make me lose respect for him. That's his personal life. He's flawed character-wise. I am too. The whole world is. Except you Daeylar, though and your feminist cohorts. It's called human nature. I'm not celebrating the flaws. I condemned the act, if it really happened but I respect what he did to music. I think some of you nairalanders who aren't lost should learn to appreciate contrasting opinions. You will do well to take your men-bashing elsewhere and leave my rapist-paedophile a$$ the fvck alone. Daeylar: |
I still got respect for R. Kelly regardless. I'm totally against the abuses and all perpetrated by the reverred musician but I opine thus: All those folks were benefitting from him all those years and kept quiet. Now, they aren't getting those benefits anymore and they saw how the Cosby affair went so they congregated and made a video out of it and are now playing the victim. If they're as honest as they claim to be, they should have sacrificed those benefits and spoken up right away. Secondly, I daresay that it's the parent's fault when a minor is exposed to abuse in such a manner. Anyways, I still got respect for the king of Rnb, I only wonder how he managed to look past all the matured folk who would do anything to spend one night with him and settle for high school kids. |
Interesting If only Ezekwesili, Sowore, Durotoye and Moghalu came under one umbrella as an economic team. Concerning rigging, the PDP rebirthed rigging and kept it up to date for 16 years. The APC instutionalised it and almost made it consitutional. However, going by their core members, leaders, ideologies, modes of operation, activites and values, both so-called parties are one and the same (that pic of Jacob zuma would just fit right here). So, it would be nonsensical to think that APC alone would attempt rig some part or all of the forthcoming elections or that it's the PDP alone that would do so. I mean, the fact that they have scores of propaganda pseudo-political parties (although, who can easily be dissected with a simple forensic analysis) goes to show what lengths these folks are ready to go to. As usual, it will be a case of who outrigged the other better. Because, from all indications, young progressives like the FDS and the Moghalus will have their say but the I think the most painful part of all of this is that there are young folks in here and on dozens other sm and online platforms who genuinely believe that the APC and PDP sincerely intend to do things right this time around. At best, it will simply be a case of pouring old wine in new wineskin. |
Ekiseme:How old are you |
30 years ago, when Donald Duke was still a student, Prof. Jerry Gana was a minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. This alone, I M O, disqualifies the Prof. but rules are rules so if SDP has an agreement concerning rotation of candidates, it must be respected. However, all party agreements remain subject to INEC regulations and the window for submission of candidates' names has closed. And, unfortunately, the individuals who are to push for this submission/change are listed as defendants in the Profs case. He couldn't win the freest and fairest of party primaries in this dispensation so I think it's safe to say that the Prof stands no chance at all of winning. I can only see the Prof. as someone being supported by others who stand to gain from the removal or omission of Donald Duke as a Presidential candidate. And no, this is not denigration. It's called personal opinion. At days' end, the party goofed by not first amending their laws. |
Wow This is some superb piece of music. I sort of like pasuma's part best. I think the visuals should depict all these effects of bad/poor/visionless governance that have plagued Nigeria for 58 years: ASUU strikes Disregard for court judgements Brain drain Power sector wahala Police wahala Budget inflation And so on All in all, kudos to the whole team! |

Facebook, Instagram and whatsapp . . . same owner. Buhari is the president of Nigeria and Jacob zuma misses his time as SA president. Meanwhile, Trevor Noah is breathing down Trump's neck at every whim and caprice of his. . . . . . I must not be the only jobless dude on the block if you read all the gibberish that I typed above |
You should post the url so people can join on their own |
Interesting stuff. Personally, I just feel it's sad. The situation is a grave one. How in the world can a select few, determine that the cause of suffering of millions should remain (usually with a potential to weild even greater suffering)? . . . And have their say over and on behalf of the masses . . . ! This case is not peculiar to Bauchi. It's a narrative that's present nationwide and seems to have come to stay. I mean, what then is the function of elections? To present as a report card to international agencies and foreign countries so these despotic leaders can be granted passage to their countries for shopping sprees and medical vacays? I'm just certain that this can't last forever. If Sanni Abacha's regime could end at its prime, in the blink of an eye, this too shall pass away. |
