MayorofLagos:
If SE and SS have some sense, this development should be opposed at all cost.

Like I always say, Yorubas need to take Ibos under our wing and assist their understanding of political turfs and tact and how the two elements are crucial for victories and dominance.

So I stand on this belief that the politically matured and savvy Yoruba should assist in pointing to the inept Ibo where political advantages exist and how to aspire for it.

I want all Ibos reading this to share with their Ezes and Ohanaeze that their inclusion in APC rulership will be very marginal and they must accept it as reality of their own informed action. To every cause there is an effect.

I also would like them to come to terms with their new role as the opposition bloc. PDP had a dry turn out in the NE and NW. The only glory PDP have for saving face is in their count in the National Assembly. If we take a poll of PDP assembly members majority are South Easterners. Therefore we can propose a similar formula as with APC and suggest power sharing in the opposition must reward support base and victories. In that case SE should get a chunk of the leadership positions in the opposition party, BoT Chairman should then go to an Iboman.

So why has it been given to an Hausa from NW where PDP just had an abysmal performance? What merits NW getting rewarded for poor performance?

The answer is simple! When it suits their temperament, PDP shares power by zone. The last BoT Chairman Tony Anenih is from SS. Before him it was Bamanga Tukur, from NE. Before that it was Obasanjo, from SW. Now they have moved it to NW.

In the just concluded election APC as a ruling party is distributing power in equity to its support base and victories....not according to zone!

BoT Chairmanship in the hands of Obasanjo produced YarAdua and succeedingly Jonathan. Obj had a plan mapped out (there's no winning against Baba Iyabo) and he unfolded it successfully.

Bamanga followed suit and would have succeeded if it wasn't for Obj rocking the PDP boat.

So in the hand of a veteran politician and power player BoT is a powerhouse of immense dimensions and it is from here that the future of PDP performance in the midterm elections and the next general elections will be shaped. PDP has inferred that it is interested in fielding a Northerner against Buhari in 2019.

What is wrong with an Ibo candidate? Ibos just delivered for PDP, when do they get their reward?

Ibos must speak up and against picking Haliru Mohammed from NW for BoT Chairman. Get an Iboman in there.

Some of you are too emotional and sentimental to play politics, especially national politics in the Nigerian context... To start with Bamanga Tukur was never the board chairman but party chairman at the time that the board chairman was from the south so its in line with the party's tradition of zoning an acting board chairman comes from as the acting is from the south... The fact PDP lost in north and consequently lost nationally means that for the party to win at the national it needs the same north. Making an IBO man the board chairman wI'll make PDP a regional party like Apga, and you know that means....PDP fell because the north deserted it and it to bounce back it must make in road into the north again. As sad as it may sound, the truth is that no party can do well at the national level without the north playing a major role in it.. In the recent election the whole of south south and south east voted for PDP plus more than 40% of the total vote from the west yet PDP failed so it's funny for somebody to think that making PDP a regional party for south South and south east will do it any good... So, I think the appointment is good for the party even if ethnic bigots think otherwise.

So D-i-s-g-r-a-c-e-f-u-l:

THE BRITISH PRIME MINISTER David
Cameron STOOD UP niGERia
PRESIDENT ELECT Muhammadu Buhari
FOR 45 MINUTES. It has been revealed that the reason why
David Cameron kept Buhari waiting for
over 45 minutes at number 10 Downing
Street is because of security reasons and
not deliberately as some people are
peddling. The source said that because of the
nature of Buhari's urgent and unplanned
visit to London he did not go through the
normal security process needed to see
the minister. The source further said considering that
Britain has raised the level of the security
threat to the "severe" which means an
attack by terrorists on British soil is highly
likely. The question now is, does Britain sees
Buhari the niGERia president elect as a
threat or terrorist?
Sai Buhari.

That thing you are smoking is not good for you.

I thought Dr. Alex Ekwueme who was the Vice President in the 2n republic hailed from the south east. I'm surprise to know today that the closest the IBO man came close to power after the civil was Senate presidency... When people like this op talk, they give the impression that every IBO man is hustling to survive on his own while every other Nigerian (non IBO) is depending on the government to survive. It is not true... Agreed, you have to give it to the ibos (as an ethnic group) when talking about hustling however there are millions of Nigerians (non ibos) out there who are equally hustling on their own without inputs of any kind from the government.

What Nigerians need is not Buhari's picture but his service hence some of us careless about how he looks in the picture; we are more concerned with what Nigeria will look like after Buhari's four years as President.

Relax brother! All na noise; in absolute term, there is nothing like Biafra.

Let her just go with degree(s).

Acidosis:
Fashola always creating laws and policies to deal with the poor in Lagos.

Mentality of a Lawyer.


If Lagosians are comfortable, no one will break the Law.


BTW, what's the cost of these vehicles? Of course Lagosians don't care; gullible people paying tax (funding APC).

Show us the one your state gov bought for your state..... Back to the post. Fashola is just too much.

Why video?

NANS is now for sale!

Tanoids, grow up. Four years is too long a time for anybody to subject himself to unnecessary weeping and wailing..

$60bn? This is outrageous.... But Jonathan why?... I mean how?.. I can now see why one senator-elect from Kaduna, said Jonathan ran Nigerian economy like "a come and eat restaurant"... It looks like under Jonathan, nobody was coordinating anything and nobody was giving account for anything... And some persons told us that Ngozi blocked every loophole through which money was been siphoned under previous governments... What I don't understand is how this amount went out without anything to show for it.

Very informative

So he want the kids to go to sleep early so he can have Sex with his late brothers widow..chio #ThereIsGodoooo

The only thing your malfunctioning brain could decipher from the whole interview is that the man wanted to sleep with his brother's widow... Is that how your shameless uncle sleeps with your promiscuous mother who is also a widow?

Fayose is busy faulting almost everything yet I have not heard of anything he did for the people of his state since his election... Well, he has some points sha, but to say the least, he talks too much.

Good... Her season of drama is over... She will certainly be remembered for her drama and gramma.... But after all said and done, whether or not posterity will be kind to her is a different thing all together.

True talk

What is Jonathan and his guys hiding?

The Jagaban himself

Nice one

Senate is probing, Jonathan is packing, Iweala is receiving awards, Buhari is promising, while Nigerians are suffering....

Stupidity of the highest order.

Baske mouth is back.

The power sector is experiencing serious transformation now. I just pray the thing does finish completely before may 29 ...

Sambo, the dullest vice president of all time is finally leaving with his meaningless smiles. Nigerians will not miss him.

Like seriously? They should not let basket mouth open their can of worms and finish what is left of the already dying party.

How time flies! Indeed nothing is permanent in life and power itself is transient... After may 28, some of them will not have their names mentioned in the Nigerian political space again till they die... If you are oportuned to serve, please serve well.

OK. Ameachi, come out and tell us how you spent your 257bn, before we proceed further.

Team up against her? Nigerian mentality! Just asking somebody to give account of she disbursed the nation's fund is now being interpreted to mean that .PDP & APC are teaming up against Iweala... Very soon we will turn it into another ethnic war.

This man is speaking from both sides of his mouth.

kropotkin2:
Why do the security agencies in this country take delight in treating people as sub-human? Why must you parade half naked men in front of the press for the world to see?Just to strip them of their God given dignity? Robbish!

If feel you brother... It's quite dehumanizing to say the least... I think we have a very long way to go in Nigeria because our overzealous security agents can do anything just to tell you (a common man) that they can do to you whatever they like and nothing will happen, or how else can you explain this kind of abuse to somebody's grandfather?

Kriptic:
The country is experiencing crisis. There is no fuel in the land. The economy is hard. Graduates under contract are earning N25k in banks.

And these three fools want us to support them with prayers. Like we don't have enough prayer points already.

In Omotola's voice, "Silly Youths trekking away their future.....". I don't think any gainfully employed and responsible man or woman will abandon his or her work/ business and engage in such a useless and risky venture for whatever reason...

delishpot:
If this was happening abroad now, some people here would have been spiting blood and fire. Now its happening in their noses they wont even cough or sneeze. Wey GenBuhari sef?

Why would somebody spit blood and fire? The bank didn't nail anybody to the cross there... If you think the pay is not good enough, why not quietly leave it?
