who has a friend by name Rasheed that can testify in support of what JUKOMO said

guess he did not follow the instruction from the baba guy

Jakumo: Anyone named Rasheed Sulaimon or SHITttu is BOUND to be a complete and utter monkey. Good riddance to a certified hidiot.

are you sayimg that there is something about the name Rasheed?

Attempt to test the potency of a charm prepared to ward off bullets, has claimed the life of a teenager, simply identified as Rasheed Sulaimon in Asipa, a town in Ife North Local Government Area of Osun State.
It was gathered that the two people involved, Rasheed Sulaimon and Siji, had left the residential area for a desolate part of the town with the aim of testing the potency of an amulet someone made for Sulaimon, with the powers to ward off bullets.
A resident of Asipa town, who spoke on
condition of anonymity, said Sulaimon, a bricklayer apprentice, had told Siji, said to be his cousin, to accompany him to Anglican Church Area, in the town to test the charm someone just made for him.
“Sulaimon has always been a tough guy and he is a bit older than Siji.
The two of them left for a desolate part of the town to test the charm.
Though the day the incident happened was on the day our market here was being observed, no one saw them until gunshot was heard,” a
source in the town had explained.
According to those that arrived the scene of the incident shortly after the gunshot was allegedly fired, Siji, who fired the shot, reportedly said the deceased compelled him to shoot at him, to test the potency of an amulet he intended using during the forthcoming governorship poll.
It was further learnt that the incident which
immediately threw the town into panic shortly after, has dominated discource albeit in hush tones by people, while elders in the town, were said to have been paying close attention to youths with a view to identifying those of them that may be keeping similar charms, to retrieve them before another similar incident happens.
When contacted, the Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, of Osun State Police Command, DSP Folasade Odoro, said report of the incident was yet to be made.
She said: “No report made yet. At times, they would not report incident like that to
the police”.

Goddex: OP add No 7
He masterminded his own arrest to deceive Nigerians about APC's sponsorship of Boko Haram

hmmmm @goddex! i will take that as your own addition to the list and contribuion to this.

redcliff: 1-6

all? You are a free thinker

1. Perhaps he just accidentally ran into a situation on that day of the blast. In other words maybe just coincidence.

2. Perhaps boko haram has decided to take the General out.

3. Maybe people within his party APC are trying to root him out in order to enhance their chances towards 2015.

4. Maybe it is people outside the APC that want to reduce that over 12million votes in the last elction he got as a result of huge followership of Buhari, especially in the north-west and north-east of Nigeria, ahead of 2015.

5. Maybe it is some agents bent on plunging Nigeria into a Rwanda-like ethnic crisis that we will never recover from.

6. And lastly, maybe some someone/agency/government(s) outside Nigeria wants to give credence to the US report/prediction that Nigeria will cease to exist beyound 2015 and as such Buhari's assasination would give it the needed impetus and fasttract it.

Which is most sentimental to you on the list? Or you can just give your own opinion and add an item 7.

jjcbuthot: We dont want a boko haram president here... Hasnt he killed enough?

hmmm what a post calling Jonathan a BHaramite.

ocelot2006: He is the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, and Lagos (like every other SW state) is pretty much part of the Federal Republic. You don't like? Then go give a live power transformer a lapdance.

visasubagent: A lot can be done unde that head ' gross misconduct'

• No Going Back, Say Lawmakers

CLOSE associates of Governor Tanko Al-Makura of Nasarawa State, Saturday, confirmed to The
Guardian that the governor has hurriedly put
together a seven-man team of Senior Advocates of Nigeria (SAN) to defend him at the investigative panel set up by the state’s Chief Judge, Umaru Dikko, to probe allegations of fraud and gross misconduct against him.

The plot to remove the governor thickened last night, with the state house of assembly members insisting that they would take the matter to a ‘successful conclusion.”

Before the panel on Al-Makura was set up on
Friday, the special adviser to the governor on public affairs, Abdulhamid Kwara, who addressed a press conference in Lafia on Tuesday, said the governor was putting everything together to appear before the panel at the appropriate time to exonerate himself.
The panel is scheduled to commence sitting
on Wednesday after the Eid-e-Fitri celebrations.
But when The Guardian called yesterday to
ascertain whether, or not, the governor would
make good his promise, Kwara neither picked the phone calls nor replied the text message sent to him to that effect.

It was, however, gathered that the governor had, Friday morning, assembled a team of senior lawyers to stand in for him at the
panel.

A top government source said the team
comprises seven senior advocates of Nigeria. In the wake of the impeachment process against his friend, a former deputy governor of the state and professor of Law, Onje Gyewadu, had asked the governor to toe the path of resignation, which he said would be more honourable.

Speaking with newsmen on the development,
professor Gyewadu noted that Al-Makura’s travails are as a result of bad leadership, even as he insisted that the impeachment process was a right step in the right direction.

“The law makers are the true representatives of the people and whatever they do is in the collective interest of all and sundry,” he said.

While the state chapter of the All Progressives
Congress (APC) and its chieftains have kept mum since the impeachment saga erupted, estranged political cohorts of the governor have continued to pour encomiums on the decision of the lawmakers.

A former magistrate and legal adviser to Ombatse, a cultural group, Zamani Zacharia Alumaga, said he has been vindicated.

“I kept telling people that we came all out in 2011 because the oracle we went to said Al-Makura will win; and, today, that is history,
the same oracle told us again that the governor will not exceed 2015 and the governor himself is aware of this.

True to it, this too shall come to pass.”

Contrary to speculations that the embattled
governor may have gotten some reprieve.

size38: PDP aspirants always run away from public debates. GEJ did it in 2011 where he had to scamper to avoid a debate with other aspirants. The result is what we are witnessing today, GEJ's incompetence. Maybe if GEJ had participated in that debate then, many Nigerians would have seen his deficiencies b4 now.

are you so sure about your fact that GEJ ran away from debate? Was there any other debate organised besides the Nigerian Election Debate Group that he fully participated with Shekarau?

fijiano202: are u a nigerian?

full blooded

cbrass: What was pdp thinking when they fielded this omisore sef

but same question is been asked by some on why APC fielded Aregbesola. So it is a two way thing.

worthytalk: Omisore only avoided impending assault of Aregberascal. Finish.

okay

egift: He that ran away, na fear dey catch am

did Omisore really run away? Okay what about the LP guy Akinbade? Am beginning to form something here; that there is something about Aregbesola has that they do not want to associate with. But what can that be?

fijiano202: not suprise though...what more do u expect from aspirants with no vision and agenda

but I do not think that any man with no vision and agenda would want to be a governor as it makes no sense at all

okay I remember Omisore fearing that Aregbesola could attack him in public if they come close

Leibnitz: And so

if you ask me then who would I have to ask

was thinking this is a good opportunity to sell themselves to the osun electorates

Mr. Omisore had in early July accepted the challenge to debate Governor Rauf Aregbesola. But he did not turn up at Saturday’s radio debate.

=================

The candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party [PDP] in the August 9 governorship election in Osun state, Iyiola Omisore, on Saturday failed to show up at a radio debate organized for the three leading candidates in the election.

Also absent at the debate organized by the International Republican Institute [IRI] was the candidate of the Labour Party [LP] in the election, Fatai Akinbade.
The absence of other leading contenders in the election left the candidate of the All Progressives Congress [APC], Rauf Aregbesola, having all the time allotted for the “Manifesto Hour” programme to himself.
The LP candidate, Mr. Akinbade, sent his running mate to stand in for him but organisers disallowed him from participating, saying the rule was that candidates would not be represented by proxies.

The candidate of the Unity Party of Nigeria [UPN], Ibrahim Adeoti, who was not invited to the debate, however walked into the studio towards the end of the programme, insisting to be allowed to participate.

He was allowed time to speak. Organizers said they were shocked that Messrs Omisore and Akinbade failed to attend the debate.

“We wrote to them and up to 20 minutes to the beginning of the programme, they were still giving us the impression they would be attending,” said Ezenwa Nwagwu, an official of the Partners for Electoral Reform, who moderated the debate on behalf of the IRI.

“We even started the debate 45 minutes late just because we were waiting for the PDP and LP candidates to show up.”

But when contacted, Mr. Omisore said he was not properly invited to the debate.

Speaking through his Director of Media and Strategy, Diran Odeyemi, Mr. Omisore said he did not receive any formal letter inviting him, a claim the organizers rejected.

“It was only this morning that our candidate (Mr. Omisore) received a text message reminding him of the debate and that he was being expected at the OSBC studios,” Mr. Odeyemi told PREMIUM TIMES.

“We did not receive any letter from them. We have a rally today in Ikirun and as I speak to you, we are on our way there.”

But Mr. Nwagwu rejected Mr. Odeyemi’s claim, describing it as “mere political shenanigan”. “We invited them properly,” Mr. Nwagwu said. “It was not verbal invitations.

We wrote them letters and the records are there.

If we did not properly invite them, how did the APC candidate attend? How did the LP candidate get to send his running mate?”

The Labour Party however told PREMIUM TIMES its candidate was properly invited to the debate but that he could not attend because he had to be elsewhere.

“In order not to create a vacuum, he sent his running mate but the organizers did not allow him to speak,” said Kayode Oladeji, the spokesperson for Mr. Akinbade, the LP candidate.

“As far as we are concerned, we fulfilled all righteousness. It is the organisers thst should explain why they did not allow our candidate’s running mate to participate.”

In response, Mr. Nwagwu said the rules were clear from the start.

“We had made it clear that only candidates, and not their running mates were expected to participate.

There was no room for running mates and they all know that.”

Leibnitz: Lame move

please can explain your point

Manchester United coach Louis Van Gaal is already ringing changes at his new club mandating the players to only communicate in English Language while on the pitch.
Spanish star Juan Mata revealed that the
Dutchman said they must all speak English while playing.
"We speak in English," Mata told BBC Sport.
"The manager says we have to speak in
English."
After their 7-0 routing of LA Galaxy in one
of their pre-season game in the United States,Van Gaal revealed that they will have
to be playing a 3-5-2 formation that
involves the use of wing-backs.
And Mata admitted that they are adapting
to the new changes from the new coach.
"The truth is we are trying to play with a new system.
I don't know how much time it takes - maybe one month or two but the most important thing is to believe in what we do.
"For me personally if I play behind the two
strikers it's a good position.
I can look for the ball. I feel comfortable in this role.
"This system can be very dangerous. But
you have to communicate and co- ordinate."

Mczigx: U jst did me a great favour. Tanks.

you are very much welcome

eligibility: THAT'S AMERICAN STYLE OF LEADERSHIP.
NO PERMANENT FRIEND NOR PERMANENT ENEMY.
IN POLITICS, YOU MAKE PARTIAL ENEMY AND CREATE SOLID FRIENDSHIP IN CASE OF UNHEALTHY CRISIS.

but our politicians are different from the American 's in selfless service to their father land.
