And you are happy that a president could utter such Abi? Tomorrow you will say Nigeria go better. Many of you don't see or know how you contribute to the down fall of this country.

Shebi u go born and ur pikin go dey this naija... All of us go continue to suffer am.

Wetin the President said can be easily misinterpreted. No be wetin he say, but the thing wey him do. 2nd Niger Bridge has moved from Paper display wey PDP leave am to actual site construction. Many Federal roads abandoned by PDP are receiving attention and under construction.
Leave sentiments, and face the facts.

When candidates who are expected to contest the PDP presidential candidates are mentioned, only the likes of Atiku, Kwankwanso, Tambuwa and Saraki come up.

Yet, Ayo Fayose has never missed any opportunity before now to tell anyone who cares to listen that he would be contesting for the presidential election in 2019. He has even boasted on more than one occasion that he would be replacing President Buhari. On all of these occasions he was ignored by the media team of APC.

In an attempt to achieve his aim, he tried to hijack the PDP in connivance with Wike by installing Sheriff who turned out to be a bone in the neck.

Since he lost the gubernatorial election in Ekiti State where he was effectively the candidate as against the real candidate, his party the PDP seems to have completely ignored him. PDP is now more preoccupied with courting the likes of Saraki, Tambuwa and Kwankwanso these days, leaving the man who took it upon himself to continually insult Buhari to stand on his own.

He has become so irrelevant that even when Wike went to convince Saraki to join PDP, Fayose was not invited.

Power truly is transient, even the wise struggle to use it properly. It's worse for the unwise.

Such is life. Even IPOBS that are always singing Fayose praises are no longer shouting his name.. They have abandoned him to his fate..

That is why I laugh whenever I see them urging anybody on..

I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.

How much did Ekweremadu shared with you from his loot? God is not mocked you know.

Corrinthians:
By far, the duo of Reno and FFK would give those sitting on the fence as regards which party to support the push they need to fall into the APC side of the fence. A little lesson they've not learnt from 2015, a little they'd never learn.

By the way, FFK, Reno's brother, has this to say of him.. We've not forgotten.

A TREACHEROUS FILTHY SCUM PRETENDING TO BE A SERVANT OF GOD.

Hahahaha..FFK and Reno Omockery were fighting over who suck Fulani scrotum better... Shameless fools.

I believe in Buhari’s good intentions to better the lots of Nigerians, Ndigbo – Okonkwo

AUGUST 3, 2018


Nollywood actor, Kenneth Okonkwo has blast those who criticized him for supporting President Buhari saying that he believes in Buhari’s good intentions to better the lots of Nigerians and that of Ndigbo. Kenneth Okonkwo had said that the South Eastern part of Nigeria will be in the wilderness if they fail to vote for Buhari in 2019. Kenneth Okonkwo But reacting to the criticism he got from many Nigerians most of them who claimed to be from Igboland Kenneth Okonkwo, via an Instagram post on Friday, said that he was laughing at their ignorance and wickedness just as he said owed no one any apology for his statement. His words:

“My attention has been drawn to some negative comments and curses poured out against my person by some ignorant and satanically motivated persons because of my preference of President Muhammadu Buhari as President of this country for his incorruptible and firm character against enemies of Nigeria. “I have been laughing at their ignorance and wickedness. “First, these men have not offered any alternative party or Presidential aspirants to challenge Buhari or be compared with him. “Second, they claim they are Igbos but forgot that in Igboland, it is a cardinal principle and custom that you must respect someone’s personal opinion and must not curse the person, if what the person simply did was to express his opinion and nothing more, “uche onye adighi ya njo”.


“Even if a person says anything you don’t like, provided he did not curse you, you are permitted to throw away his words but restrained by custom and tradition not to do anything to him. “Third, God himself created man a free moral agent to hold his thoughts and express his opinions as he wishes. He did not even compel man to worship Him. “So these army of ignorant and wicked men are simply trying to rudely and crudely interfere with my traditional, constitutional and religious rights to freely express myself and hold an opinion, belief and thought as I so wish. “Let me reiterate that I am a follower of President Buhari and believe in his integrity and good intentions to better the lots of Nigerians and that of Ndigbo and I have no apologies for this. Whoever disagrees with me should produce his own strong reasons and better alternatives. “Just to remind you but a few. Before Buhari came in, terrorists bombed to pieces, 88 persons at Nyanya in Abuja, bombed the United Nations Building in Abuja, bombed Banex Plaza and even the police headquarters in Abuja killing uncountable number of persons.

I don’t need to mention the entire North East that was overun by terrorists with thousands of people beheaded and the video images sent on internet for everybody to see. The terrorists were everywhere and have started forming cells in Lagos and Enugu. “This Government came and destroyed them across the country. Only their remnants now are going about carrying out criminal activities and you are telling me security is not better now. Our soldiers and officers were sent to fight these terrorists without weapons. They were dying like chicken and when they complained about lack of weapons, they were sentenced to death for mutiny. “No apologies for supporting Buhari.

I respect your views. I not only support him, I pray for him. “You know the truth, the worst of Buhari in 8 years will be better than the best of PDP in 16 years. “PDP had 16 years with oil prices very high in-between yet they left us without light (power), without water, without roads, without security, without paying even salaries, indeed without anything. “Whatever is happening today has its root from that regime. This administration came with bail out for states to pay salaries with the price of oil falling drastically. Tackled security and all that and somebody is telling me I should reconsider the past leaders that brought us into this mess. God forbid.”

okwuvic:
If there is any tribe that should respect the igbos more in Nigeria; it should be the yorubas. How I wish they can respect that and leave tribalism and bowing and kneeling down before the northerners. 1966 coup plotters were majorly Igbos led by Chukwuma Nzeogwu. Their aim was never to install an Igbo president but to release Chief Obafemi Awolowo from Calabar prison and make him Head of State. If that coup was successful Nigeria I am sure would have been a better place to live in.

Can you imagine an elder statesman bowing and kneeling because of power and money; Selling his brothers into the slavery we are suffering today. No job, no security, no light, no water, herdsmen terrorism e.t.c.

Keep deceiving yourself. How many hours do the coup plotters have after the coup yet they refuse to release Awo. Ironsi an Eboe man came in for 6 months did he release Awo? Nna face your Biafra market snd let Yorubas be.

iammo:
Yoruba destroying yorubas since the days of awolowo and akintola , Yoruba ronu, its funny how tinubu an ally of MKO is teaming up with same Buhari that got the juiciest apointement under abacha, while throwing jabs at obasanjo. Same obasanjo that gave back power to shagari a man from sokoto through democracy and Buhari and co(abacha and Ibb) dethroned through coup de tat, same obasanjo that came back home to confront abacha on MKO's denial to power when Buhari conveniently choose to keep quiet and become PTDF chairman, same obasanjo that was imprisoned while wole Soyinka was in exile. Professor Soyinka, northern youth are mocking you, they see you as someone who disrespect his own to promote others, no matter what they never disrespect their own, they may disagree but never ridicule their own. Ti eyan ba ta ara ile e lopo to ba di owon ko ni ri ra

Jargon. All the Northerners that have been abusing Buhari are Yorubas abi? We are talking Nigeria politics you are writing gibberish. Everyone will be assessed base on their performance. If you steal then you are a thief.

If Nigeria does not kill corruption, corruption will kill Nigeria.

Yuan sale by CBN excites traders


July 31, 2018


The Central Bank of Nigeria sold yuan at a range of N49-51 at its first auction of the Chinese currency last week, traders said yesterday.

The auction, which is part of an attempt to encourage the use of an alternative trading currency, particularly given the high level of imports from China, sold the yuan for immediate value and for 15-day settlement, traders said.

Some lenders got as much as 60 per cent of the volume they applied for, while one bank got just five per cent. They said the volume sold was based on the price quoted for the yuan at the auction.

China is Nigeria’s biggest trading partner after the U.S., with trade volumes between the two totaling $9.2 billion in 2017, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Nigeria runs a deficit, importing $7.6 billion of goods including textiles and machinery from China and exporting just $1.6 billion, mainly oil and gas.

Racoon:
Buhari will finally cast Tinubu if he wins his next election.Same thing happened to Awolowo & MKO Abiola.

How did Fulani treats Ekwueme and Azikiwe. I guess they like you better.. Dont you think so?

mmb:
Do you advice he maintains this outfit than the khaki?

Our Shiarman....

Old man telling lies. Your daughter works at the villa. She is not just a visitor at the villa.. She works there.

Some fake news for IPOB blothers to lomance. When you regain consciousness, guys like FFK will be the first one you will stone.

Sharpshooota:
You know Buhari has nothing to offer
Stop pretending... It's lame

Now you are talking about competence? Who among your Governors in South East is competent? Or do you think they do not matter in your development? Have you ever wondered what they do with all the allocations they receive from Federal Govt? Are they completely and utterly useless?

The easiest way to deceive Nigerians and get away with all kind of atrocities is by calling yourself a Pastor or a Prophet. One day deliverance will come.

Shukuakukobambi:
I really thought they'd be able to pose a real opposition to put buhari and his people on their toes but alas, it's the same mumuishly concocted conspiracy theories they keep filling cyber space with. a$$lick this, a$$lick that. as if PDP itself hasn't zoned it's own presidential candidate to the same North.

You accuse me of voting North in 2015 while you're holding the poster of another northerner as your candidate for 2019 and you believe you're doing campaign? How foolish can people be?

Politically, they are very primitive. They have this group they call "think tank" or sometimes they call themselves Ohaneze who negotiate and trades their destiny/ sense for money at the center in every election cycle. That group was bought over by Jonathan in 2015. Atiku has that group on a lock down now. But sensible people knows that Atiku is a bad market.

Sharpshooota:
Continue my Yoruba Muslim friend

You have zero ability to assimilate. For the umpteenth time, there is nothing called Yoruba Muslim in the real sense of the word. It is a creation by the eboes, but has no meaning to the average Yoruba.

Sharpshooota:
You must be an illiterate too
Continue with the asss licking of the Fulani terrorist...

Illiterate calling someone an illiterate..Your reverse psychology fell flat on its face.

.

Sharpshooota:
If you were a real Yoruba... You wouldn't be asss licking a Fulani terrorist ...

You know licking Fulani anus is not strange to you eboes. Right from Azikiwe, to Ekwueme, Chinua Achebe, Ojukwu and now Ekweremadu.

You've always licked Yoruba, Fulani, Ijaw etc as.s.
It is no surprise that you think because someone is a President, others must be licking the as.s of his tribe.
Did you lick OBJ as.s or not?

Sharpshooota:
You must be a Yoruba Muslim
Deji

If you are Yoruba, you will understand that there is nothing like a Yoruba muslim. Your world view is different from ours. Iwotago?

Shukuakukobambi:
Na real undertaker

Very insightful write up but since buhari fulani juju is very strong, their juvenile delinquents on this board won't pay heed. It's Nigeria's loss really because we are stuck with an Hobson's choice

I completely agree with you bro. Real juvenile deliquents all over the place . Right from their principals like Fayose, Dino, Ekwere forgery, Wike, down to their online urchins in Nairaland and other Social media platforms.

PDP performance at recenly conducted state Governorship elections in Kogi, Edo, Anambra, Ondo and now Ekiti state, is a clear pointer to the fact that Nigerians have totally rejected PDP and all that the party stands for. PDP knows that they stand no chance in 2019, but they just have to put up a show.

Iblad0994:
There is just one question I want to ask those clamoring for the return of PDP.

We know in 2015 APC brought a change manifesto and this period during run up to the last election the atmosphere is different.


What exactly is PDP manifesto ?
Why should we vote PDP?

Someone should give me a good reason please

Loot and loot more....What is bad in that manifesto?

buhariguy:
I don't know the magic PDP want to use to come back again because the power of incumbency is not there, the rigging machine, their candidate are northerners, they can't allowed them to buy vote,
So what magic will they use.

They know it is mission impossible.

Undertaker, how come it is only news of death that excites you? Do you think your PDP has a chance in 2019 ?

The PDP and the premature hosanna

JULY 28, 2018

By Dr. Ugoji Egbujo

The PDP is euphoric. But it must contain itself. Its concentration must be on the electoral map. It must formulate a concise message. No one has heard it say how it plans to curb corruption. All it does is hysterical lamentation of the poor performance of the ruling party. The PDP has been on the ropes for too long. Succor has come. PDP Defectors have poured in. Its supporters can be permitted to dance a little. They have grieved for too long. But the party must know it has an uphill task. 2019 is here.


The party cannot afford prolonged celebrations of ‘side nettings.’ I remember when the PDP welcomed Sheriff back with fanfare. They had thought he was the god that would deliver the northeast to them. Wike and Fayose later anointed him party chairman. Then the party was torn to shreds with litigation. Now they all think he was a well dressed mole. The PDP cannot be blamed for getting excited about the return of the defectors. The father of the prodigal son threw a party the day his wayward son returned. But he didn’t surrender himself to delusions. The PDP must not give its pearls to swines. It must not lapse into self congratulations.

The PDP can jubilate for a while. But it must settle down quickly and assess the real electoral value of the noisy defectors. It is true that politics is a game of numbers. But no one feels his bag with chaff and walks around like a man carrying gold. Let the party throw automatic tickets at the returnees. But let it bear in mind that many of those northern legislators came to victory in 2015 riding the Buhari hurricane. It’s good for the PDP to be optimistic. But it is better for it to be realistic. The country needs a virile opposition. But a robust opposition cannot be formed by a band of peripatetic fortune seekers with mercenary instincts roving from party to party. A firm opposition can only be founded on strong moral principles and sound policies. The PDP has relied on a perceived public disenchantment with the APC.


The opposition has not managed to craft any new message. It has not managed to re-brand and re market itself. And unfortunately, it has no pedigree that can recommend it to the public. And I guess it now knows that its history is an albatross. Perhaps that is why it feels its name is too filthy to be retained. But Nigerians don’t discard old names quickly. The election is six months away. NEPA is still NEPA, despite the fact that NEPA ceased to exist more than five years ago. Kingsway road is still Kingsway road in the mouths of Lagosians. And Douglas road has remained Douglas road in Owerri, despite recent renaming ceremonies. Let the PDP merry a little. But let it not get presumptuous. Some of those who defected had worked for the PDP while carrying brooms around, for almost three years now. They may not bring much in fresh energy. The PDP has been the de-facto majority in the Senate since Saraki ate the forbidden fruit and mounted the throne. The defections have given the PDP momentum, but the party needs a good steering wheel.


It must chart a moral and economic direction. It cannot afford to be the party that makes excuses for corruption and scowls at anti corruption agencies. We know the ruling party made a last ditch attempt to stop the defections. But we also know that they refused to grant the defectors their wishes. Many of the defectors wanted a guarantee of automatic return tickets and other petty private benefits. Those aren’t particularly difficult. The refusal of the ruling party to accede must be a reflection of its estimation of the electoral weight of the generality of the defectors, and the risk they posed to the ruling party retaining power in 2019. PDP must celebrate cautiously.

The electoral map shows that it has a narrow, winding, treacherous path to victory. It must choose its presidential candidate shrewdly. It must choose a candidate that will touch Buhari’s cache of votes in the northwest. It must choose a candidate that can woo independent voters and the international community. The PDP spent three years spreading bigotry and fanning flames of division. It must spend the next six months preaching national unity to stand a chance of winning votes in the far north. The other day its national chairman gave credence to rumours that it may chicken out of the 2019 elections to save face and save its supporters heart ache. The party must find courage and abandon extreme cynicism. If it boycotts the elections in 2019 it will become extinct.

There is nothing new the ruling party has introduced into the winning of elections in Nigeria. Nothing that the PDP is not familiar with. I actually feared that the PDP was going extinct at some point when its hopes seemed to hang on a Supreme Court verdict. It’s good it survived and has strengthened. Stiff completion would help the ruling party become more responsive. But the return of PDP’s wandering legion must be managed carefully. They left the APC because they were marginalized. They have returned with ambition and hunger for power. Some of them are going to find the PDP inhospitable too.

The biblical prodigal son got a rousing welcome that sparked envy in his brother. If the defectors usurp privileges and instigate defections out of the PDP then their return could be counter productive. Only the institution of internal democracy will banish rancor and destructive squabbles. But the sort of midnight bargains that lured the jilted reformists home would definitely offend many existing party members. The PDP can jubilate. But Uhuru is still so far away.

When the Presidency comes back to South - South, this is the man we should all support o. No be by politics of bad belle o. Infrastructure and industrialisation is the key to a Nations success.

Kolababe:
Young talented singer, Weflo, has finally dropped the visual to his amazing single titled "Ise".

The crispy, clean high definition video shot by Paul Gambit portrays Weflo in all his uniqueness and makes the song more appealing.

The beauty of this song however is the fact that Weflo who is Igbo and goes by the name Ikenna Franklin Gerald from Enugu state, rendered prominent parts of the song in Yoruba language.

And while his mates are singing about drugs, sex, fraud and other vices, Weflo has done an amazing party track, which at the same time is highly inspirational encouraging people to work hard and shun laziness. Infact "Ise" seems to be a breathe of fresh hair from all the Afropop songs/videos that have saturated the airwaves this year

"Ise" which is a Yoruba word meaning "Work", passes the timeless message of hard work and living life to the fullness after all the hustle and bustle.

Part of the lyrics goes;

Eni to shishe lo ma jeun dada
Eni to shishe lo ma kole mole
Japa mo she ko ba le jeun dada eh

[Meaning; he who works hard will eat well, he who works hard will build houses, take your work seriously so that you can eat well and achieve goodness]

The young UNILAG graduate has proven that you can actually do a danceable, party/club worthy track without singing about negativity.

Watch "Ise" below, see what i am talking about and rate the song/video on a scale of 1—10.

Yoruba ti take Over...

This is why PDP.ig, corrupt NASS members and their supporters wants to die on top of Buhari matter..

Shame on you Femi Fani Kayode.
Upon all the Ekiti money that Fayose shared with you and your soyoyo wife, this few lines is all you can pen down?
Is this all you can do for Fayorshame? You mean you cant break your neck for FayoChukwu?
