All these guys having withdrawal syndrome on Sarrki should wish him well instead. Very bad neighbours. When e come now, you will all get your doses. ![]() |
Yes, and anyone who drinks that stuff gets drunk. I recall there was a beverage in Kaduna called Tiger burkutu. FAyose strong pass that one. Idowu Adelusi is the barman. |
My wish is that any other party wins the 2019 elections. Let them give the same treatment they accuse APC of perpetrating. |
rozayx5: The guy is experienceing withrawal syndrome. That devils powder is getting more and expensive. He must be sniffing Lafun or Honeywell wheat[/size][size=8pt][/size][size=8pt] |

sarrki:Where did you get this from? reference please. Thank you. |
Noisemakers, all over the place. A full grown adult with two legs does not know how to walk away. |
I want to hear from OP, not some crackpo that had just escaped from a mental facility. Have you taken your medication today? |
@op, I refrained from replying you all these days to gauge the reaction of other people. Since there is no response , I will not dignify you with a response. Please have a nice day, if you wish. ![]() |
IdisuleOurOwn:Yes, , with airconditioning and electricity 24/7 ![]() |
Balkan:Have you ever bought Tibune or Daily Trust? Just curious. |
Money, Mooney, money, money Haba This is getting too much. Be careful what you wish for. So your cudtomers, who buy from you are now your enemies. How will you feel if there is a campaign to stop buyi g tokunbo spark plugs from your people? |
kahara:1) There is no prejudice there as the writer based it on interviews with the subject/subjects and prevalent events. He also stated clearly that he had clearance to publish such interviews. 2) I am entitled to my opinion. You will realise that my post laid emphasis on how Nigerians are the victims. I also asked if Buhari is also going through the same shenanigans. 3) This is living history. It does not require any archival/ antiquated analysis. I am only giving my view. I do not need to gather material as you *historians" or "intellectuals " are fong d of doing. I read a book, I made my comments. Please feel free to include iit n your material when you want to put pen to paper in the year 3000. 4) Finally, a word of advise. If you have not read the book, do so and start from the foreword , not from Chapter 1. That is what intellectuals do. There you will find that Mr Adeniyi clearly stated that he interviewed people, made a follow up by submitting the material to them, just to make sure they agree with his submission before publishing it. Historians/ intellectuals don't just put pen to paper on the spur of the moment. Stop spreading your ignorance here. Sorry to burst your bubble , but you are not a student of history as you claim to be. I still maintain that whatever I said here is my own opinion. Let me even go further to advise you to publish your acvounnt that is devoid of "every flowing ink of prejudice and bias". You can write it with Akamu or draw soup. |
pesinfada:How much did PDP pay you to ask me that question? |
Cyberknight:I agree. You will notice that my comment on the situation in Europe was a digression and I stated do clearly. My brother, this acute greed and clannishness is getting the better of us. Where do we start from? |
criminalmindz:Wetin remain. They have already spoilt their "bad name" Wind don blow skirt tay tay ![]() If you dey vex , go wrile your own book. God pass GEJ, his wife and You and this book is proof. |

Cyberknight:Read my piece again. I am not blaming him. I am blaming the whole contraption that is betraying our trust.Take it or leave it, that is politics for you. What I yearn for is that utopia.... Politics with a human face. For obvious reasons, the common man is docile. All we have is a big mouth. Listen to the pkone in programmes on radio. We are all presidents, legislators, coaches, engineers, judges ,governors rolled into one. We cannot agree on one thing. Everybody has an opinion hat is at best divisive. But then that is democracy for you. I digress. Talking of "advanced" democracies, they have their own problems that are beyond NEPA, school enrolment,second Niger bridge or zoning. For instance, Europe as a warehouse for stolen funds from the third world. They are only waking up now because thieves from Nigeria et al are bastardizing their legal and financial structures. A Nigerian crook will pay more and in cash for a property that in the process distorts the market value of real estate in the neighbourhood. Ke will induce a lawyer in Fenchurch street , London, to arrange phony deals etc etc. Europe was turning into the case of the doctor becoming the patient. |
olasaad:Thank you. And @nwabobo had the nerve to ask what my father has achieved!!!!! Some people are still on the soapbox . This is 2017 . If the book portrayed my assessment, what is the use of the time and resources spent in Jonathan's tenure? This is why I agree with OBJ. Jonathan was too small for that enterprise. I advise @nwabobo to read the book first.. Or his father did not teach him how to read? My father tried o. |
nwabobo:I will disregard the insolence. His conquest by way of ineptitude is clearly illustrated in this book.Read the book. |
sarrki:Sarrki, I know your village is Kongolam, Have you received your invitation? You can include your folks across the border |
I just finished reading this book. I must doff my hat for Segun Adeniyi. Jonathan found himself as the proverbial meat in the sandwich. By some twist of fate, I am inclined to agree with OBJ that Jonathan was too small for the presidency. As I said somewhere, his background and experience did not prepare him for the high wired jungle that is Nigerian politics. He was just a pawn on the chess board. He was overwhelmed by the trend of events around him. In the process, he continued to wobble and fumble. In his sober moments, he WL be wondering what hit him. However,I pity my fellow citizens. The level of elite and adult delinquency displayed by the various actors is the cause of where we are today. A squandering of time.resources and opportunity by our leaders. Our politicians are only after their own. An interplay of biigotry, nepotism , greed and mischief by political actors, crisscrossing the political spectrum chasing filthy lucre while the masses line up to cast votes and support opponents who are actually united in the mad rush for our common patrimony. The closing chapter portrays Jonathan as a wailer. Somebody should tell.him that this is politics. He came, he saw and should take his medicine.No complains. He certainly did not conquer, let nobody deceive him.He should have remained in Bayelsa. But God works in mysterious ways. The question is whether we have learnt any lessons? Is this what Buhari is going through? The answer , they say, is blowing in the winds. God bless Nigeria.

zinachidi:Ask the security man for Osborne |
Pavore9:And sickening |
Hmnmm I think GEJ should move to a monastery. Appearing in public is a no , no. This piece suggests that and I agree. Whether Adeniyi's book is an attempt at writing a memoir is a matter of conjecture. If so, I suggest that the issue of a biography would be disastrous. A Google or Wikipedia piece is enough and even this will not be kind to GEJ. The foreword to a biography will make very interesting reading. We are living history in vivid colours. This is a lesson for our future leaders. |
totorimi:School? I am sure many people who have doctorate degrees are ashamed. Not with what we are hearing. |
VivaDeAngelo:Na lie. He was sucking Mama pis bobby in Za OZa room and na ogogoro dey Commot. Trust me. See the result, everybody dey see and hear ![]() |
Abaribe or that Jewish Rabbi, certainly not Ipobexposed |
deebsman1:My take. The remark that GEJ was too small for the presidency, though uncivil, has some some truth. It is bitter. Flashback I have said it somewhere that Jona's background and experience did not prepare him for the presidency. He hung to the coat tails of Alams as deputy governor and innocently benefitted from the rift between OBJ and Alams. Thereafter, his docile mien was exploited to install him as Vice president where he became the proverbial "spare tyre".Serious doubt of his political acumen began to show when Yaradua was on his sick bed and immediately after his demise. We all know the shenanigans that took place. The events that preceded his succeeding Yaradua clearly portrayed that he will have a tough time getting reelected after completing their first term. Thanks to providence, he scaled through. Right then, he knew that getting his full two term presidency would be an uphill task . He started to advocate for a single term of six years or so and faced stiff opposition. As his party was bound to support his second term bid, he had to bow to primaries or not make it happen. The only opposition he would face is from his zone. This is where his tiff with Amaechi surfaced. He must nail any rival from the South south. In addition, he must close his eyes to the graft that was germinating in his government and party. That is the only way he could get those modern day Mandarin s to give their support. In the process, hell was let loose and here we are today. By employing the carrot and stick, which is a double edged sword, Nigeria was pillaged and politicians and their godfathers broke the bank, literally.Breaking the bank meant using state resources to curry support. This in turn bastardised the system and polarizes the polity to the extent that the man on the street began yo notice. It also pitched region , tribe and religion on the front burner. It is still with us as some citizens, like Jona have refused to accept that the elections are over and we have to move on. It is fruitless going into details current events reflect this. What remains is for us to learn a lesson from this. That lesson is that the political elite are in unity when it comes to power, money and influence. They leave their constituency with a promise to go to ABUJA and fight for our rights. Their first agenda on arrival is HOW UNA DEY DO AM? That DO AM is ...... SHARE THE MONEY. Every other thing is shifted to the background. As we live in interesting times, I whish Jona luck. He has no one to blame but his luck. He came, he saw, whether he conquered is the question. As president, with his education, he has failed to harness information and resources, human and material to make educated people prowd. He succumbed to that slippery slope..... Ineptitude. |
mrvitalis:The shelf price of any import is a made up of the cost of the item, import duty and associated charges and the profit of the seller/ retailer, in that order. It is the buyer who pays the import duty. Stop spreading falsehood, please. Thank you. |
