GodsOwnMan:
Thank you Niger Delta. E remain Northerners and Ibos.

Do not generalize Niger Delta. Where you come from there first.

FreeStuffsNG:
You have been out competed in PMB's time because you idle away too much on Nairaland sir
Nobody shares free govt money during PMB's tenure except you want to end up in jail but GEJ's tenure was an all comers affair for thieves!

HE GEJ's period will hardly even notice you let alone reward your excellence..It was so horrible that to recieve your salary you worked for becomes a spiritual exercise as salaries got owed for several months!

We spend every Christmas sleeping at fuel stations with fuel scarcity and Independence with bomb blasts.
As a matter of fact, Boko Haram took substantial part of our land and declared their own country!
Any day GEJ/PEJ are on their frequent visits to Lagos we spend hours and hours in traffic amongst several horrible decision of those years of the locust which eventually made Nigerians decide that enough is enough, stealing is now corruption. Most folks taking and stealing from the country miss GEJ no doubt but it is not the fault of Nigerians for voting out GEJ, it was because he failed woefully.
Those hating on PMB because he defeated GEJ can keep wailing but Nigerians have moved on. It is a general verdict that GEJ's government was no good and had to be voted out. From Air Peace scandal in US to Arms scandal to Etetegate to PI& D scandal to oil subsidy scandal to many monumental scandals, it was complete disaster as if he went to sleep completely.

Thankfully the right responses to your comment have been given by others.

Surely APC has out competed on all fronts of failure. Please do not continue making mockery of yourself this way publicly.

Enjoy your PMB inflicted wahala in peace.

Chai.

Can you see how low this country has gone under the present administration? Responding to well known criminals as if they are a sovereign nation on their own.

If not for fear that there is a real possibility of such an event to happen, why did government have to respond by words, rather by attacking militarily these known criminals to end their reign?

Dasuki was arrested and detained for several years on account of embezzlement of funds budgeted for the military. We have a PMB presidency of nearly eight years. What has happened to military budget? Why has banditry become a nationwide problem? What happened to “technically defeated”?

We now know that terrorism is seriously backed by some northern political actors. Such actors are well known, going by comments making the rounds daily. These actors make their living that way. Why would this government not pick them up and permanently shut their mouths?

I once asked why this government would not ask for international technical/military assistance to wipe off this ravaging problem. Some uninformed youths vehemently disagreed. GEJ used it. El Rufai finally suggested it. Why has this government shied away from it, seeing that bandits have taken over large swaths of the north and rule over the places? Some northern governors seem to just respect their spaces by remaining in their impregnable fortresses in their state capitals. Their is a real possibility that they can be kidnapped too.

If that terrorist group could invade Abuja, the seat of national power with such impunity, then it is clear that they can invade Daura some day to fulfil their threat against the president.

The time to act is now. Get all hands on deck. Get the Americans, Chinese, Mercenaries, whoever, to stop this wickedness perpetrated against this sovereign nation, in the name of religion.

This would forever haunt Ex-President GEJ . It was complete leadership failure on his part as a President and a father of the nation ; may we never experience such kind of incompetent leadership again.

That he actually could believe that children kidnap was a rumour or political gimmick is unimaginable , cringeworthy , unbelievable and those who gave that preliminary report to him need to get equal amount of opprobrium in posterity whenever this sad event is recounted.

The closest worst form of leadership to it was UK's Boris Johnson's Partygate scandal where parties were being held while the citizens were burying their loved ones daily due to covid-19 pandemic.

HE GEJ was the lowest point we ever got to in terms of leadership; it was a complete breakdown of leadership and my guess is that those who accused him of drinking too much like Boris Johnson may be right.

We will not forget heroes like Sharon Ikeazor, Mrs Oby Ezekwesili etc too. Well done to all the Patriots and lovers of Nigeria who helped mount pressure of the GEJ's govt then.

“ HE GEJ was the lowest point we ever got to in terms of leadership”.
And the seven years of misery, poverty, calamity, disaster, sorrow, hopelessness and hardship of Buhari should be called what, please?

And what about the population?

“ he will lose his ward because Nigeria is at a crossroad and expects a statesman like Atiku to put the national interest above his personal ambition and allow his party to pick its candidate from the South, so that we will have a scenario like in 1999 where the two candidates came from the South. That would have been better for the country”.

Can you just imagine that? How would Adeyeye, who angrily left PDP because Ayo Fayose did not allow him exercise his desperate ambition to become the governor of Ekiti state, tell us that Atiku put his personal ambition above national interest?

Between Atiku and Bola Tinubu, his emergency principal, who is more desperate to become the president of this country? Bola Tinubu said it simply that it was his lifelong ambition to become the president. His political permutations led us into these dark years with the leadership he foisted on the nation. His desperate ambition made him pick a Muslim vice presidential candidate, just to satisfy his northern promoters, against a northern Christian candidate.

We are no longer in the dark about events in this country. The likes of Adeyeye should bow their faces in shame. If not for his greedy desire to become politically relevant, why did he abandon PDP where he had good positions and possibly wealth?

Anyway, it is time for all to be OBIdient. Let’s vote for accountability, integrity and a better future. Obi is the way.

diadem10:
Ipob miscreant keep wailing over what's not their business.

The father of Lagos is actually Awolowo. Ikeja is Awolowo's brainchild. Over 300 roads, several schools, housing estates, UNILAG etc, first TV in West Africa etc

Jakande also did a lot for Lagos with several housing estates, roads, schools and LASU etc

As for Tinubu, Lekki is his brainchild as well as BRT, schools, housing estates. Tinubu was also the one that built LASU teaching hospital and clinical schools. Also enormous increase in Lagos revenue.

“ As for Tinubu, Lekki is his brainchild as well as BRT, schools, housing estates”. Chai. What a very small child.

Tinubu?? Lekki?? How old were you when a man called Brigadier Raji Rasaki was the military governor of Lagos state. Have you ever heard of Maroko or Victoria Island extension? Please ask elders around you to tell you honestly the stories of Lagos Island up till 1989. That’s long before BAT became the governor.

NigeriaIsDoomed:
I swear! Imagine an international olosho from the world capital of olosho talking down on Akwa Ibomites and my low esteem brother from Akwa Ibom could not take a subtle swipe at the Olosho.
OMG! I wish had been there. (Temper rises high).

We need to divide this country so that some of these ungrateful animals who insult Akwa Ibom after enjoying our oil and gas proceeds will be relegated to where they belong.

With the huge mineral resources that Akwa Ibom is endowed with, other folks should be serving us like the Emiratis are being served.

Which one be olosho or olosho capital? Between being called olosho and gateman/house help, which is more derogatory?

Wetin concern huge mineral resources with the question?

If you were asked the same question, just like that, how would you have responded?

Omihanifa:
What is there to deny? Everyone knows atiku has links with the Lebanese guys that owns mikano. And it’s not only generator that mikano does, they also produce biscuits, transformer and pickup truck.

If he has links with the owner of Mikano, how does it translate to Atiku being the owner of the company?

“ In any case, if Bola Tinubu can forget the name of his own political party, why will he not also forget what transpired in 2007 and 2015? We do sympathise with him”.

Professional finishing. That was an uppercut. I just hope say BAT no fall for ground with that statement. If e no fall, we are waiting for an immediate response.

But by the way how BAT come dey try to mention Action congress instead of APC? Now BAT has to move around with a group of people who will always remind him just at that moment of memory failure.

Na wa.

OK.

Sambisa or Zamfara would have been quite fair to post him to. Or better still, he should have been posted to man the railway lines between Abuja and Kaduna. Na there e for meet him mates very well.

“ The policeman, who will retire on May 1, 2023, was among the top police officers who were deployed to Kano to rig election in favour of the ruling APC during the re-run election in 2019”. Una see APC life?

kimjongJezebel:
Jakande ruled Lagos for just 4 years, from 1979 to 1983 when Buhari struck. Today, his fingerprints are still there for the public to see.

He established:
Lagos State University
Nigerian Institute of Journalism
He completed General Hospital in Gbagada and Ikorodu.
He built 20 Health Centres within the state
He constructed over 30,000 housing units. Some of the housing units were in
Amuwo-Odofin, Ijaiye, Dolphin, Oke-Afa, Ije, Abesan, Iponri, Ipaja, Abule Nla, Epe, Anikantamo, Surulere, Iba, Ikorodu, Badagry.

In order to fund the constructions, he increased the tenement rates and prices of plots of land in Victoria Island and Lekki Peninsula. He didn't increase it in places where the poor were staying so it won't affect them. He cared for the poor. He also increased processing fees for lotteries, pools and gaming licences. This increased internally generated revenue of the state. He refused to collect loans so the state won't be in debt.

He also started a metro line project to facilitate mass transit. Buhari later cancelled it when he took over power. When the Military Administrator of Lagos under Buhari approached the Head of State to reconsider the cancellation of the project as Lagos State would still be made to pay for it as per the contractual agreement with China. Buhari said “I don’t bloody care”. This is the major reason why people suffer daily in traffic in Lagos today. Jakande's foresight would have put Lagos ahead of other cities in the world in metro lines.

Jakande was later charged, prosecuted and convicted of TREASON by Buhari regime. NOT CORRUPTION OR STEALING OR BULLION VAN, but TREASON! When he was arrested and tried by the kangaroo tribunal, they had nothing else to charge Jakande with but Treason! Not stealing or misappropriation of funds or corruption or borrowing, but Treason.

Jakande did all he did in just 4 years without borrowing a kobo! Can any of the Lagos State governors even be regarded as being worthy to be ranked close to Jakande? 30,000 housing units in 4 years! 20 health centres. Oh, I forgot Primary and secondary schools too! He established 23 local Governments council which were disbanded by the military when Buhari sacked democracy.

Jakande estates, infrastructure and great works are still visible in Lagos till today. A man who did all those without borrowing or plunging the state into debt should be seen as the Father of Lagos!

Tinubu has not build any hospital good enough for him to use in Lagos but always traveling abroad for treatment. That's how bad health sector is today but they tell you he built Lagos ignoring Jakande. How unfair and unjust can people be jettisoning the good works of Jakande, who was not corrupt and ascribing it to Tinubu?!

Copied!

100%.

I can tell you the story just as if it all happened yesterday. Agberoism was not as evil as it became under BAT. Infact Agberoism was eliminated in Lagos when Buba Marwa was the governor. Agberos were arrested and some shot dead by members of “Operation Sweep”. BAT brought them back and empowered them more. They were to be used and still are used as tools of ballot box hijacking.

Tribalism and nepotism were not part of Lagos. Lagos was the federal capital and everyone came to Lagos to earn their living.

Abeg no remind me wetin I don forget.

Please vote right in 2023.

Very shameless.

I was also looking to see that they were thoroughly flogged, as they needed it.

Very horrible indeed.

Hopefully the sit at home will be wiped off completely soon.

Very painful.

These embassies and their painful financial requirements.

Happy birthday. Going places with a very bright future ahead.

So truly, all those “technically defeated”, “decimated”, etc. How far?

Na wah.

You cannot clash with them in the north. They will always clash with you in the South. Wetin we do all these abokis sef?

Sorry for una. APC never show una finish. People dey run comot, una dey run enter.

Very soon even the small 404 wey una dey see chop no go dey again.

Wetin dem dey call the name of the shoes the boy wear so?

Even the neck of him shirt.

Abi I no see well?

Jagbajantis intete

Ok

MadamVanessa:





Good riddance to extreme bad rubbish. Serve him right

100% agreed.

Wait o.

A simple remark by Atiku has drawn such lengthy response from BAT. How would BAT had responded if Atiku had made a lengthier comment?

Sowore, how would you not know the net worth of Sahara reporters? Is that not simply a lie? And you want us to believe that others wey don start life long before you go be your mate financially.

OBIdience all over Edo state now!

Even Obaseki is getting OBIdient.

Na lie. No be APC? Why 2023? Why now 2022 or before 2022 according to their fake promises of 2015?

What kind of request is that? E never reach? What is Atiku trying to find out or tell pellow Nigerians?

By the way, what will likely happen if he sits for one hour?

We are waiting.

Police vs Ndi mmuo.

Who run leave first?

Pacesetter123:
Akpabio own is the same.
Chief Ekperikpe Ekpo voluntarily withdrew for him.
And nobody takes him to court either.
But Mike Igini in his own just said Akpabio cannot be on the ballot on account of this same section 115.
That he has already stood for presidential election and as such cannot stand for senatorial election in the same year again regardless of weda anybody withdraws for him or challenge him in court or not.
So it's not a matter of withdrawal and going to court,INEC should disqualify Bala and Tambuwal just as she did to Akpabio.Simple!!

Akpabio’s case was that INEC did not monitor the primary of his own faction and therefore it was not accepted. Every move he made in effect was empty. He accused Igini, but his accusation was baseless.

Jagbajantis intete.

It was decent enough before 2015. That road up till Okene has been disgraceful since they assumed power in 2015. Make I no call dem name.
