PoliticsRe: Bisi Adeleye Fayemi Visits Fayose Ahead Of Next Tuesday's Inauguration by Cantonese: 5:38pm On Oct 13, 2018
You see politicians? Enemies in the day, friends in the night. That is why they say 'no permanent friends, no permanent enemies, but permanent interests'. However danger lies ahead for Fayose. He will only be lucky when @atiku becomes president.
PoliticsAbeg leave Atiku, even Buhari chops Nigerian money. by Cantonese(op):
This has been an issue of debate since Abubakar Atiku indicated his desire to contest once again for the highest office in the land.

I do not believe that he will loot and my reasons are clear:

- At age 72 he will try to make the future better for the generations after him and this is his last opportunity.

- He is already a man of immense wealth. He is one of the wealthiest people in Africa. Just like Donald Trump, he will only expect the benefits that are due to his office.

- He knows that all eyes are in him now so he needs great care.

- If he loots and allows others what will be left of this country after his time?

- If he looted before he will no longer do it.

- Where does president Buhari get all the money for his medicare abroad? Did he not tell us that he did not have ant money at the beginning? Even the president chops tax payers money.
PoliticsBuhari/APC carry your evil load of change part 2. by Cantonese(op):
We were promised change in 2015. We expected change and we got change.

What changed?

1. Exchange rate from 192 to 365 per dollar after falling from 515 to the dollar.
2. Body language.
3. Price of rice to 20,000 naira from 8,000 naira.
4. Price of all food items increased.
5. Price of fuel from 87 to 145 after promising to reduce to 45 naira.
6. Herdsmen everywhere killing innocent people.
7. Miyetti Allah cattle rearers started addressing world press conferences and appearing on AIT, Channels, etc.
8. Six months without ministerial appointments.
9. Witch hunting of opposition.
10. More Lai(s).
11. Over one year out of three years spent by president for treatment abroad after promising to abolish medical tourism.
12. Stage managed Dapchi girls return.
13. Well organised return to office by Maina.
14. Vote buying at the polling centers.
15. Going from the largest GDP in Africa to one of the poorest nations in the world.
16. Clueless leadership.
17. Worse electricity situation.
18. More hardship, poverty [url][/url]and suffering in the land.
19. Nepotism, hatred and more killings everyday.
20. Court orders disobeyed.
21. Impunity and forceful imposition of individuals on others.

This certainly was not the change that we wanted. We wanted better life. We did not want to see our youths taking the risks that killed and maimed them across the meditteranean.

Now they are asking us to vote them in so that we can get more change. Remember that Patience Jonathan once said 'na only person when get headache na him dey drink APC'.

Me I no get any headache.

Therefore any power anywhere assigned to cause change part 2 in this country I reject you totally!

Owners of evil load carry your load and go!
PoliticsRe: PPD Gave Oshiomhole To APC Just Like APC Gave Modu Sheriff To PDP by Cantonese: 4:29pm On Oct 12, 2018
The PDP had enough time to address their issues, plead for forgiveness, re assemble old members (except Sheriff/Cairo the moles), recover lost grounds, bring back old military leaders, reposition themselves and get a solid presidential candidate out of a very intimidating pack.

APC on the other hand the ruling party with all the time, playing the ostrich (pretending to bury its head in the sand while its entire back is showing), organising bad congresses, factions everywhere, losing very important members to the PDP, after three years still singing the old and deceptive song of 16 wasted years, affirmation of one man under bewitched conditions, not able to move to the next level, already lost Zamfara state before the elections, almost losing Rivers and Imo states (3-0 down), with the worst party chairman ever who thinks he knows everything and cannot differentiate between unionism and political matters, thinks removing khaki shorts and shirts for agbada means you know all about politics.

PoliticsRe: Is Fulani Herdsmen Attack Politically Motivated? by Cantonese: 7:58am On Oct 12, 2018
Lesgupnigeria:
My country Nigeria has been embroiled in series of clashes/attacks between farmers and the so called Fulani herdsmen.

As a practising farmer and an agropreneur for about a decade who work in the rural areas,i have had my own share of bad experience one time or the other of cattle straying into farms, eating and destroying farms.
Most times, we settle it and the cattle rearers are banned from the areas although the Bororo(the non-nigerian cattle rearers) can prove stubborn sometimes but we have map out strategies that have enable us to have no incidence of Fulani herdsmen on our farms for the last 7 years.

As a non-partisan Nigerian with no affiliation to any political parties,i am force to ask myself why the incessant attacks, gruesome murder, on the rise in recent times? owing the the fact that we and the Fulanis have lived peacefully for decades with no issues of invasion of communities and massacre of thousands of rural dwellers.

It's heartbroken that people who feeds and hold the future to the food security of hundred of millions of Nigerians are being slaughtered on a daily basis.

I can only point fingers to the political class
I think the political class has a lot of answers to the questions being asked by Nigerians?
Why do we have these attacks on the rise in recent times?
Are they using us as pawns in their political chess board game?
Why are tangible steps not taken to stem the tides?
These and many more questions are what need urgent actionable answers to save our country.

Are those attacks politically motivated?
Your opinion in the comment section.
Look the so called herdsmen took advantage of careless words and sponsorship of people like El Rufai to begin a move of securing lands nationwide for themselves. They took advantage of a silent president and started addressing world press conferences. They took advantage of a government that refused to address them as terrorists. Have you not wondered why they are suddenly quiet? Do you not see that election is just around the corner? Their ogas have asked them to be calm for now. People like El Rufai must be voted out and have their heads checked.
PoliticsMy PVC is waiting for Lai(rs) by Cantonese(op):
People say this country has not moved forward. I agree. However if we have failed in infrastructure, human capital and economic development, we are progressing in two - THE CARD READER AND THE PERMANENT VOTERS CARD. My confidence and my voter's power lie there.

What should I know?

1. Register and get a PVC.
2 Look out for my name on the list at the polling center.
3. Know and trust the person I intend to support
4. Get to the polling unit early
5. Ensure that I vote out Lai(rs), people with fake promises of improved light, housing, fuel, medical tourism, poor health facilities, insecurity in the country, nepotism, looting Abacha money in the name of social intervention programme, etc. That is what bewitched people are facing now.
6. Have peace of mind and sleep well.
7. Your vote is your power.

What should I watch out for?

1. Party agents who want me to sell my vote to them and remain in bondage like in Ekiti & Osun.
2. Security men out to intimidate.
3. Coming out late to polling center.
4. Ensure my PVC is not defaced.
5. Store my PVC in a safe place.
6. Impatience at the polling center.
7. Desperate evil leaders who want to remain in power.

My expectation as a voter:

1. A better country
2. A safer country
3. Better economy
4. Better health care system
5. Improved economy
6. Better infrastructure
7. Brighter future for our children
8. Improved light
9. Better roads
10. Improved education system

Everybody please wake up. Be wiser. Do not be decieved or bewitched anymore. Please use the opportunity of 2019 to correct the error of 2015. Do not allow the suffering, badluck and hardship in the land to continue. They gave us the card reader and voters card as our instrument to reward them for either their good or evil leadership. Ensure that the yeye people are shown the way out in 2019.
PoliticsWill The Fate Of Ambode Befall Buhari? by Cantonese(op): 7:12pm On Oct 11, 2018
All of a sudden we started to hear about the rejection of Ambode by the political class of Lagos state. We heard of his sins and his failed efforts to have his sins blotted away. However it had become too late for him to remedy. Sanwo Olu was voted in by the same party.

Buhari had tried unsuccessfully several times to become the president. He belonged to a regional party called the CPC. Nigerians loved the Jonathan humility story of how he went to school barefooted and overwelmingly voted for him in 2011. Buhari re strategized and joined a coalition with other political groups and powers to form the APC. In the meantime our dear Jonathan was busy fumbling and not performing. His sins were compiled and he was voted out. Buhari gave us the story and image of a man of intergrity. How he performed with Idiagbon, etc. Nigerians were hoodwinked to believe the several fabled stories ( that men give to their wives on the bed just to have their way) and today we are where we are:
1. Among the poorest countries in the world.
2. Increase in fuel prices yet subsidy remains.
3. Recession.
4. Greater propensity to loot.
5. Vote buying.
6. Herdsmen.
7. Loss of trust and confidence.
8. Medical tourism by the president while healthcare gets worse by the day.
9. When the vice president presides there is peace but when the president returns wahala resumes.
10. Nepotism.
11. Family/dynasty business.
12. Failed promises.

With the above very clear sins is it not proper that our president should just serve this term which like Ambode should turn out to be his last? After all he served for close to two years between dec 31. 1983 and august 1985. Jonathan did the same between 2009 and 2011 before he got 4 years to add. If APC members were bewitched to accent to another 4 years, should the other parties and Nigerians in general allow themselves to be bewitched again?

PoliticsRe: Is This How Atiku Wants To Run The Economy? by Cantonese: 8:31am On Oct 11, 2018
Evidence of indictment and the fall out of it is imprisonment. Atiku has been in this country sll these years. He has travelled extensively all these years yet he has not been detained by the police for one day not to talk of securing a judgment against him and jailing him. I think there should be less talk and more action. Atiku clearly stated that if Buhari found any crime against him he would have been jailed. I believe that now security agencies are scouring through many things to find some negative records.

Under the watch of our intergrity president, we have witnessed vote buying in Ekiti and Osun state. How on earth did Kayode Fayemi/APC muster the finance used to remove a sitting PDP? Who will probe the source? While PDP was giving 3,000 at the polling units, APC gave 5,000. In Osun state we say APC losing. At the final poll how much did APC spend? Who will probe the source? None. The reason is because the fight against corruption is corrupted on its own and has failed the intergrity test. Percieved opponents are hounded everyday, oppresed and silenced so that we can have only one party. What constitutes intergrity? Is it only when you do not accept bribes? If the people who sorround you fail the test under your watch, can you rightly claim innocence? We are in trouble with this APC and their lack of tolerance. Look at most of their states and their states and their primaries. Ojoro everywhere. Abeg joo.

PoliticsRe: PDP Primary: Atiku’s Choice, A Return To Sordid Corruption Era – Lai Mohammed by Cantonese: 4:17pm On Oct 10, 2018
jumpandpas:
Let him bring the $16m meant for power.
In 1999 Obasanjo needed Atiku who was the head of the PDM, which was the political machine of Yaradua. Still was the most formidable of all the choices for VP then. The PDM was the most potent power of the groups that made up the PDP. All the concocted stories of Obasanjo were to pay Atiku back for the events of 2003 leading to the election. In politics there are only permanent interests. Obasanjo is only being vindictive and ungrateful to Atiku who helped him become president in 1999.
PoliticsRe: Olusegun Obasanjo To Endorse Atiku Abubakar Eventually - SR by Cantonese: 7:06am On Oct 10, 2018
donphilopus:
Obasanjo doesn't need to endorse Atiku for him to win or lose. Obasanjo's endorsement can't guarantee Atiku victory in Ogun State let alone the Southwest as a whole.

We are no longer doubting Buhari's victory. What's still not clear to us however, is how wide the margin would be.

Atiku can't win any State in the Northwest which boasts of the highest voting strength in the country. He may be able to win two States of Adamawa and Taraba in the Northeast. Aside Plateau and Benue, Atiku isn't sure of winning any other State in the North Central including FCT.

Coming down South, Buhari is certain of winning all the States in the Southwest. If you think otherwise, you can prove it without being sentimental.

Buhari only needs 30% of the votes in the South South and Southeast and no doubt he would surely get it. Wike allocated votes to Jonathan in Rivers in 2015, that won't happen next year. Such won't happen in Delta and Akwa Ibom too.

To wrap it up, Atiku is late to the race so no need atikulating because doing that would yield no positive result.
Brother this your analysis na wah. So PDP and other parties will just be watching while APC have a walk over? Sorry it will not be so.

You need to realise that Atiku is a very popular candidate. In 1999 he won the governorship seat of Adamawa state while he was the leader of the famed Yaradua political machine called the PDM. Because of his wide acceptance he was chosen over other formidable men by the PDP to become the vice president. He retained his popularity even though Obasanjo forced him to leave the PDP - a house he helped to build.

It took Buhari 16 years of attempting. He lost hope in 2011 and decided not to try anymore. By a stroke of fate a popular candidate in 2011 called Jonathan threw away his advantage and Buhari became popular. Buhari's popularity became widely accepted by the joint coalition forces of the CPC, ACN, APGA and a breakaway factory of PDP. If he went solo on CPC Buhari would never have won the seat as all those parties were regional parties then.

As a military head of state he won the admiration of many people including myself between december 31, 1983 and august 1985, when he was overthrown. His war against indiscipline helped in fixing some of the social rascality we were facing then. But there was one observation then which is repeating itself today - HARDSHIP IN THE LAND.

Today the reality is that Buhari has lost the goodwill of a lot of people with his bad policies, body language, nepotism, failed promises, medical tourism, fake war against corruption. Many have seen through the smokescreen and walked away, including me.

A critical analysis will show you that today with the introduction of the card reader, coupled with electoral reforms, voter education, new parties, etc, the so called landslide will no longer be there for any of the parties. Under this present administration, a dangerous game called vote buying has been introduced by all politicians. In 2019, the president himself will benefit from it. Money at the polling centers will definitely influence people. Who pays more wins more as we now see and know. We saw it in Ekiti and Osun states. From all votes counted did you find any landslide by any of the parties? No.

You may recollect now that we have other political parties like the APGA, SDP, ADC, ADP, UDP, GREEN PARTY in Bauchi and Sokoto. If they do not win seats, they will narrow the votes. Even at that they are certain to win seats everywhere. APC cannot claim any landslide in Lagos as it stands. Now they have their own areas just like the PDP.

Now the north central is no longer an APC stronghold. Taraba, Kwara are PDP. Battle zones remain Benue, Plateau, Kogi, Nassarawa with the PDP having the upper hand in Benue and Plateau now. In the core north Tambuwal has broken APC votes in Sokoto. Zamfara, the travelling governor is not popular, Kwankanso has broken Kano, Hunkuyi etc have broken Kaduna, Buhari has Katsina, Kebbi, Bornu & Yobe. He will lose Bauchi and Adamawa. Except in Edo state which impact will APC make in Bayeslsa, Delta, Cross river? Even with Akpabio it is PDP in Akwa Ibom. APC hope is Rivers state which may even erupt into a war by the combatants there. Now to the south east. If the PDP present an Igbo vice president with an assured Igbo presidency after Atiku what do you expect? PDP will have its way in Enugu, Abia, Ebonyi. APGA already has Anambra and will snatch Imo back from APC.

Conclusively for me it is not about Buhari or Atiku. I do not wish any of them to win. I just wish for a sound young man or woman, very patriotic, highly discplined, of great character, with fairness to move this country forward. God bless you all.
PoliticsRe: Emmanuel Uduaghan Visits Buhari, Plans For APC To Wrestle Power From PDP (Photos by Cantonese: 7:25pm On Oct 09, 2018
HungerBAD:
This life is not fair.

If life was fair, Uduaghan would be in Jail,and not a Senatorial candidate of the APC party. This man is one of the many mistakes the APC is making in Delta State.

How this man escaped the notice of all law enforcement agencies in Nigeria, the EFCC inclusive, is still a mystery to me,after he looted Delta State to the ground for 8 years.

In the 8 years this Kleptomaniac ruled Delta State, there was no single thing anyone can point to that he did. This is a deeply unpopular man in Delta State,and all he brings to the APC party is his hand luggages of liabilities and unpopularity.

Politically speaking, he does not carry any clout, and that is even among his itsekiri tribe,who are notoriously pro-each other.

I pray he loses to the PDP man, James Manager. The APC party should stop rewarding these criminals that is running a way from the PDP with a soft landing ground.
Surely he is not better and cannot defeat James Manager. The truth about APC in Delta state is that all the agents know that Delta belongs to PDP. They want to make some money only for themselves. Most of their agents will surrender to PDP at the polling units.
Also APC has made the mistake of fielding Ogboru, an Urhobo man, instead of Ochei/Utomi, etc, who are from the Delta north. It is their turn until 2023. The Urhobos had their turn under Ibori, the Itsekiri/Urhobo under Uduaghan until 2015 and now Okowa until 2023.

Uwak who was a member of 2015 Buhari/Osinbajo Campaign Organization on Monday night took to his Facebook account (@Robinson Uwak) to criticise conduct of the recently concluded nationwide primary elections of the APC, in which he contested the party's ticket to represent Oro Federal Constituency for a second time, after he was defeated by incumbent Hon. Nse Ekpenyong (PDP) in 2015.

Expressing disappointment, the Okobo born politician wrote:

"I refuse to believe Buhari is not corrupt any longer. You cannot preside over this kind of primaries and claim not to be corrupt."

He continued, "Those who steal the people's mandate are worse than they who steal money."

PoliticsRe: APC Lied! Our Convention Wasn’t Marred With Vote Buying – PDP by Cantonese: 6:43pm On Oct 09, 2018
edurach:
The Peoples Democratic Party(PDP) has debunked claims by the All Progressives Congress (APC) that the PDP convention was marred by vote-buying.

In a statement by the party on Monday, it noted that the ruling party was nervous about the emergence of Former vice president, Atiku Abubakar as its presidential candidate.

The PDP accused the ruling party of doing everything to ensure that the convention didn’t hold and has now resorted to unconventional means to discredit the process.
See full statement below

The claims, by the failed and dysfunctional All Progressives Congress (APC), of vote-buying at our national convention is not only false but completely unfounded and symptomatic of a party that has totally lost bearing and now engaged in rumour mongering.

The drowning Muhammadu Buhari Presidency and it’s fading Party, APC are nervous and seriously confused after the emergence of Atiku Abubakar as Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

For us as a party, such allegation from the APC is not unexpected given that APC, tried everything possible to scuttle our national convention and Presidential primary but woefully failed, hence the desperation to engage in an attempt to discredit the process.
https://newsnownigeria.com.ng/apc-lied-our-convention-wasnt-marred-with-vote-buying-pdp/
Even if there was vote buying what is the problem of APC? Under the government of our Mr. Intergrity president APC bought votes in Ekiti and Osun states. All APC primary elections were characterized with vote buying also. This is a new system introduced under this present dispensation. Will APC not buy votes during the elections of 2019? Can they truly now claim that there are richer people in PDP than APC? Will the president not spend money at the voting centers to try and retain his office? Who will probe him? Abeg make we hear word.

EFCC searched her records several times and found nothing incriminating against her - you can confirm. Buhari made an approach to her - you can confirm again too. The truth is that irrespective of party affiliations or tribal sentiments we need great and committed men and women who will move this country forward.

PoliticsAnti Corruption War - Will Buhari Buy Votes In 2019? by Cantonese(op): 1:01am On Oct 07, 2018
After APC defeated PDP in 2015 we were told how PDP looted the treasury dry and caused the problems with the economy. We were told how PDP and Jonathan spent so much money during the election and APC spend good will. The fallout was the arrest of PDP members everywhere. We were never informed how much APC spent to remove a sitting president. We were told about the intergrity of our president and so on and that intergrity story still goes on.

My questions centers on the fight against corruption with regards to the 2019 election. Under this government election matters took a different dimension with vote buying publicly by politicians. INEC according to them are trying to stop it. In Ekiti state we witnessed APC spending more than PDP at the voting centers. The same repeated in Osun state even though they tried to tell that it was not visible. Can the president honestly say that he is not aware? Why have we seen agents arrested without the mention of the names of their masters? We all saw clearly agents of politicians inducing voters with money. Even in the primaries we have seen candidates giving delegates money.

Will the president buy votes or not in 2019? Will he continue to maintain his intergrity story in 2019 seeing the resurgence of PDP? If he maintains his intergrity story and his political associates buy votes on his behalf can it not be called corruption? Will he not be called a beneficiary of corruption? Who will check the election expenses of the president and vice in 2019? After the election of 2019 if he wins can he swear that he did not pay for votes even in his home state? If he finds out that his associates paid for his votes will he have them arrested or simply resign out of his intergrity? What will be the story next year? Will he ensure that EFCC arrest APC governors next year who are perceived to have bought their positions with money? It is very clear to all that APC governors and candidates are very wealthy. Who will arrest them and check their expenses next year? I hope we can have answers to these questions. There is God O.
PoliticsRe: Elumelu Gave Delegates $1,500 Each, Instead Of Only N100,000 Says Mrakpor by Cantonese: 4:48pm On Oct 06, 2018
chidima2019:
Outgoing member of the House of Representatives for Aniocha/Oshimili constituency of Delta State, Mrs. Amaechi Mrakpor, has accused the winner of Wednesday's Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) primary for the Aniocha/Oshimili constituency, Ndudi Elumelu, of disobeying Governor Ifeanyi Okowa's earlier directive not to give delegates more than N100,000 each during the primary.

The primary, which was conducted amidst heavy sporadic shooting midway into the counting of votes, followed by disruption of the exercise by the federal lawmaker, as well as the slapping of an electoral officer by the state PDP chairman, Mr. Kingsley Esiso, saw Ndidi Elumelu emerge winner with 266 votes.

He was declared winner by the Returning Officer, Uzor Nwadu, with Mrakpor scoring 226 votes.

Speaking with journalists in Asaba, the Delta State capital on the outcome of the primary, wife of the Delta State Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Mrs. Mrakpor, alleged that her closest rival induced more than 500 delegates with $1,500 each, noting that the action was a violation of Okowa’s earlier directive that no aspirant should give more than N100,000 to each delegate for logistics.

Mrakpor said: “On the night of October 1, some delegates from my local government informed me that Elumelu was giving delegates $1,500. I didn’t quite believe it because, before then, the governor had announced that no aspirant should give any delegate more than N100,000 for their accommodation, transport and feeding.

“That was the briefing we got and I got ready with N100,000 each. But by the night of October 1, I received a phone call that Elumelu was giving out $1,500 or N550,000 and I confirmed it."

Mrakpor, said to be Okowa's 'anointed' candidate, alleged that after Elumelu voted, "he came back and started campaigning to the delegates while voting was going on. After that he brought out a Ghana-must-go bag and started sharing jollof rice and chicken and nobody cautioned him.

"I was trying to be obedient. He shared about $800,000, and just yesterday morning, he went out again to share another 'dollars for breakfast' to the delegates. Nobody stopped him.” Mrakpor said.

In a swift reaction, Elumelu refuted all the allegations levelled against him by Mrakpor, and urged her to accept defeat and work with him.

It was reliably gathered that Okowa was not happy that his preferred candidate, lost the ticket, and that the governor has not forgiven Elumelu for refusing to step down for him during the PDP governorship primary in 2014. He is said to have ordered that the primary be conducted again so as to favour the incumbent federal lawmaker.

Meanwhile, in following the governor's directives for a repeat of the primary, Mrakpor mobilised delegates loyal to her on Friday to the cenotaph, venue of the rerun primary, where they waited all day for PDP and INEC officials, who did not show up until Mrakpor and her delegates left the venue disappointed at about 5:30pm.

Sources in the PDP confided in our correspondent that Tony Elumelu, elder brother to winner of the primary, who is chairman of United Bank for Africa, has contacted Governor Okowa over the development, warning him to desist from the arrangement for a repeat of the primary.

By the way does she want to die there? Does the seat belong to her household? Why is she crying so much? Her husband is the commissioner/attorney general of Delta state. Shamelessly she has gone public informing us of the amount used to bribe delegates to vote for them. She is very surely a sore loser. There are others who are interested in that seat too! Ned Nwoko was there, the same Elumelu was there before her. The woman must know that sometimes you win and sometimes you lose. Now she should go back home and enjoy the money she made while in the house of representatives.

See simple steps on how to make shawarma

There are simple steps for every snack. There are lots of snacks available. Most are easy to make, others take longer time to make. The common snacks include: meat pie, cakes, doughnuts, fish rolls, cookies, egg rolls, sausage rolls and lots more.

Shawarma is very delicious. It is packed with lots of nutrients that are really tasty and nice for consumption. The prices of shawarma vary with location. In certain places in Nigeria, it is sold for as low as six hundred naira( #600). I was told in the US it is sold for $5 USD. You can help me verify if you are close to the US.

Most people use shawarma as a full meal because it is filling.

This clearly shows that without dropping the name of Buhari, El Rufai cannot win in Kaduna state. He rode on the back of Atiku to get to the level he got and jumped ship to Buhari after using Atiku's name. Without Buhari's name the man will not go anywhere.

See the result for some of the 20 LGAs in Lagos below in 2015 governorship election:

The results of the Lagos governorship elections as announced by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, reveal that the candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Akinwunmi Ambode has won the election beating the PDP candidate Jimi Agbaje by a margin of over 100,000 votes.

1) Lagos Island
APC 34,232
PDP 16,111

20) Eti Osa LGA

PDP 24486

After 20 LGAs

APC 812,394
PDP 659,738


and this happened at the time APC and tinubu was popular to high heaven in southwest as a whole. PDP was able to match them side by side under Jimi Agbaji
Do you think Epe will vote APC now that their illustrous son has been forcefully removed? Do you forget the cosmopolitan nature of Lagos? Do not forget that practically all major tribes in Nigeria have their people in Lagos and this includes supporters of APC, PDP and other opposition parties? From the Osun experience you will find that other parties like SDP, ADP and ADC have risen and they have their candidates in Lagos. It translates to the fact that plenty of the votes of APC and PDP will go to the other parties. It will not be easy anymore like before. For me I think the best person who should move Lagos to the next level should win irrespective of the political party.

Christianity EtcRe: Mountain Of Fire And Miracles Turns Member To Cripple In Spain by Cantonese: 11:48am On Oct 03, 2018
Very pathetic indeed. Very sorry about this incident. However I must ask if the writer is sure that the church was ordered by the court to pay the sum of 360,000 Euros. Spain is not Nigeria where court orders are not respected. If the church was ordered to pay that amount in Spain, the court there would ensure compliance immediately. Dr. Olukoya himself will never hear such a sad occurence and never do something about it. I sincerely hope the writer's facts are credible.
PoliticsGodfatherism - Who Does Oluremi Tinubu Settle? by Cantonese(op): 3:13am On Oct 03, 2018
Recently it has been said several times that the rift between governor Ambode and Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu has to do with the failure of Ambode to give Bola Tinubu his financial due as his godfather. Going by our politics in Nigeria we it is not a hidden fact that for one to get a political position, one has to fulfil certain conditions which may include presenting some amount of money, doing fetish things; etc. Failure to settle the godfather after getting the position will lead to massive disagreements and potential benching of the political son. A clear example is Ngige and Christian Ubah in Amanbra state. Ubah did not hide the nature of their agreement and Ngige repeatedly told us how much Ubah wanted from the state account monthly.

We know that Bola Tinubu used his power as the godfather of ACN and eventually APC in Lagos to get his wife the senate seat she presently occupies. In this ongoing disagreement between Tinubu and Ambode some thoughts have come to my mind about Senator Remi Tinubu:

1. To secure the seat she presently occupies what were the agreements enterred into between her and her husband guaranteeing her the seat while he remains the godfather in Lagos?

2. In a state where there is a godfather, do the political office holders settle the godfather to keep their seats? Now that her husband is the godfather does Senator Remi Tinubu settle her husband to guarantee her seat? If so where is the evidence?

3. Is there no other person who can represent Lagos in that senatorial zone and who can do better than her?

4. Going by the fact that her Asiwaju Tinubu is the godfather, how long will she remain in the senate?

5. Are the seats of other senators in Lagos state safe and secure like that of Mrs. Tinubu considering that there are other interested aspirants within the APC?

6. If it is true that the inability of the godson to fully 'settle' the godfather will lead to his removal, then what will happen if Mrs. Tinubu refuses to 'settle' her own godfather?

7. Just like Sanwo-Olu has been empowered by the godfather - Tinubu - to challenge and remove a sitting governor, can any aspirant challenge Mrs. Tinubu over her own senatorial seat in that same party while the godfather still reigns?

8. How can we rate the performance of Mrs. Tinubu as a senator? If she does not do well do her constituents have any right to try to complain and remove her?

9. How does she settle her godfather? Is it in cash or in kind, seeing that her godfather is her husband and the two of them and their family is already super rich?

Sincerely I know that in all these Nigerians are losers particularly those at the bottom of the ladder who have to do all the work, queueing up to votes either in the delegate system or the direct primaries with 1000 naira in their pockets and sell their birthrights. We must begin to wake up from our slumber and look in the face of some of our political office holders and the so called godfathers with a clear demand for accountability. A man who had no office, shop or how much more a factory suddenly goes from nothing to uncommon wealth must be held to account. A leader who misuses power given to him by the people must be held accountable. Democracy does not demand that the godfather should remove a performing office holder who tries to make life better for the masses rather than the godfather himself. The masses need to wake up in this country otherwise we will go from bad to worse.
