Moghalu never become presidential anything, woman don dey suffer behind am holding umbrella. What if he now wins a presidential election or becomes the VP? I will always gbadun this Osinbajo man and i bet he is not even holding his own umbrella for photo ops. It's just his humble personality.

ambu2:
Doesn't the crushing include the bandits because they kidnapped some students this morning in Kaduna? The crushing machine needs to pay attention to kidnapping events in Kaduna.

Guy, don't tell us where to crush or not to. Every evil should be crushed & they are being crushed daily whether IPOB or Bandits or Bokoharam. It's the height of madness to be comparing your SE region to the NE or NW. There are vast areas of ungoverned spaces over there, hide & play games would surely be easier for non-state actors other than yours

Absolutely!

This is totally misleading. Something is mentally wrong with several of our news platforms.
It is common knowledge that any occassion the president is physically absent & there is the VP around, protocol and law kick into action. The vice president immediately represents the commander in Chief, the chief of staff never gets constitutional cover for such responsibility. At the event, the MC was the source of the short_lived confusion. The CoS had come with just a hand note to tender, but the MC mixed things up & CoS ended up reading his note anyways, but it all ended in fun & bliss when the VP graced the podium & even spoke some little Hausa language.
The Nigerian media should stop being conflict merchants! It is utterly DISGRACEFUL.

What a day of joy! We overcame IPOB terrorists today! Osinbajo pls speak more, you told us last week secessionists would be dissapointed & here we are!

Juliusmalema:
There is nothing good about him even if you use seven different Monikers to submit on the thread.

Aisha is now 200 million Nigerians combined?

Why not point out the work the disaster Osinbajo is doing that the prizes of commodities are on high scale..

Since op is Mumu and you be Osinbajo praise singer.

If google had not crashed on your fone, you should have realized price hike is a global effect now. In your UK, America, etc they are lamenting. Is Osinbajo the VP in those countries?
Moreso, when we were warning you soro soke empty headed goons during the EndSARS Insurrection, you told us to shut up. Your colleagues looted our food reserves & now you're crying on price hike?
And lastly, it's spelt "price", not "prize". Nna, which school you go?

Juliusmalema:
Please tell them..

Even Namadi Sambo is more active than him.

Someone with such pretentious lifestyle is who people are clamouring for president.

As if Osinbajo is different from buhari.

Both are same both in Economic policies... Osinbajo been worse.

We sabi your type. You had the choice of Atiku\Peter Obi, i had the choice of Buhari\Osinbajo. Despite your continual noise and brigandage on social media, you never voted for your own preferred candidates. You were lazying away on election day watching Premier League. I took my own voters card, stood under the terrific sun & voted my Buhari\Osinbajo, now you wanna be guilt-trippin' me?

Joor shoo wa alright?

FunnyJosh:
A lot. Atiku was VP too, he was the biggest opposition to the megalomaniac propensity of Obasanjo. The VP needs to do more than giving motivational speeches at social events.

This same Atiku? E sure me die, Osinbajo is 1000x more impactful & intelligent than this

Juliusmalema:
Only fools will after looking at buhari will vote Osinbajo..

Osinbajo is even a higher disaster than Buhari. He has nothing, absolutely nothing upstairs..

While condemning buhari when his second In command has been heading all economic teams that sees prizes of goods and commodities rising...

In 2015 they said buhari is a general that will be in charge of security and Osinbajo professor in charge of Economy....we are in 2021 what is the effect of his economic policies.... Osinbajo is more disastrous than buhari..

Same person that will tell una to pray when Herdsmen kills someone..

Same hypocrite will be in an executive meeting where internet profiling is discussed but after one week will tweet that crypto is good...

One thing is certain Osinbajo is a bad market and Nigeria will never have a repeat of 8 years bad market again.

Let him go back to his pastoral work and continue his sycophancy there.

Seriously, i dont know how to diagnose your problems. Your supleme leader, Nnamdi Kanu has promised you Biafra. He has told you to burn up your voters card as well as your Int'l passport. He has huffed & puffed that there would be no election in Biafra land come 2023. But here you are, crying for presidency, meanwhile your region has been voting that useless political party since 1999!

Who swear for una?

This OP na confirm mumu. This is nothing else than attacking the person of Osinbajo politically. Are you trying to confuse us about this man that even Aisha Yesufu was famzing?
Whether you like it or not, the best president would emerge from either APC or PDP. If you're soiling the ruling party for us now, who are you putting up in PDP - Atiku Baba Kojoli?

WowSweetGuy:
Na Only economics Grammer this aso villa errand man sabi

E sure me say you be one of those ungun known men. By your comments alone, we dey sabi you

KRSWon:
Yes, PDP had a tendency for corruption.

But then who is responsible for THIS corruption?



https://punchng.com/nigeria-drops-on-transparencys-corruption-index-now-second-most-corrupt-in-wafrica/

And those civil servants who are majorly responsible for this are ghosts?

It's outrightly a means to siphon funds when we over-inflate contracts, suggest the contractors & go behind to take the kickbacks. No country can grow with such lavish procurement procedures

Where is the lie? Auxiliary is the new deputy governor of Oyo State. Agberos have taken over the State, motor park complexes are the biggest projects of pride right now over there. Who wouldn't miss the revolutionary Gov Ajimobi?

You hate Buhari and you passionately hate APC, no problem we understand. But come 2023, who is your choiced candidate & what party do you favour? Answer with your full chest or stop haranguing those that are true to their own personal convictions.

Ohaneze Ndi'gbo\Afenifere in the mud! Make country catch fire, make he divide, na there you go find them

I even wish he did. Nothing bad about it at all if he did. They are a group of brainwashed members of the public by that psycopath Nnamdi Kanu. iPOB ESN UGM are roaming the streets in the South East now hunting security agencies, burning INEC stations.

Lord be merciful on the prayers warriors above.

What deceit? If you choose to skip prayers, that's your personal choice. Don't criticise others coz of it.

That's how best he knows how to call on his God in the days of trouble. Meanwhile some other people carry their own god around, even into court premises

Juliusmalema:
Osinbajo Unlike the Biblical Daniel, His Hypocrisy getting bigger by the day



Of late, the Pharisee called Professor Yemi Osinbajo has been on a roll with his scalding attacks on the immediate-past government. Many are wondering if his pleasant posture when he was the acting president was an adopted persona for personal political gain. Now, as the 2019 election approaches with all its permutations, amid the failure of his party to deliver on its electoral promises, his attacks have grown in intensity. He wants to be seen as some sort of hero and the personification of virtue and ethics for a new Nigeria. But he is not.


He was perhaps also eager to impress his principal – and the world to believe this government is transparent, prudent and abhors corruption. Osinbajo has become the new messenger of a message stymied by its own apostle. He wants everyone to believe he is tough. Unfortunately, the reality also is that he is not. The truth is that our vice-president is a spineless professor.

His pastoral calling and erudition, he had reckoned, would sway his audience as he breathlessly recounted in public events how the previous government stole the nation blind. But his sanctimonious posture about the saint-like character of the Buhari government is undermined by the public evidence of malfeasance going on under their watch. To be honest, Osinbajo initially projected a patina of professionalism in a motley crowd of confused politicians and earned some public applause and praise as the elixir in the mix.


His populist visits to airports, markets and filling stations, even though were publicity stunts, were refreshing and momentarily soothing to the feel, as cosmetic as they were to the underlying problems of mismanagement and the lack of maintenance. But all that seems to have given way, revealing a less-than-noble image of a man too imbued with his own self-righteousness. His jubilant regurgitation of huge amounts of money stolen by others while ignoring the loud evidence against his own party men is a telling testament to the fact that the so-called man of God is not a man of truth. I had been reluctant to call him out on his actions, because of his peculiar circumstances and out of respect for his pastoral calling. But his hypocrisy was getting bigger by the day.


How did things get to this point?

Well, there is a proverb in the land of my fathers that when an otherwise intelligent person mixes with too many clowns, over time, it will become difficult to differentiate one from the other. Osinbajo makes the truth messy in his quest to label others. If he was not ashamed of the two partisan looters lists his government released recently, then I make bold to say Osinbajo cannot be trusted as a fair arbiter of truth. And when next he stands on the pulpit preaching the word of God, I will flee the venue. Remember, the Bible warns us to be careful that towards the end, many false prophets will come and will perform miracles in God's name.


His recent public outings appeared deliberately and desperately designed to shore up the sagging image of his party and its narrative. And to achieve this, Osinbajo deployed pointed hyperboles and pathetic hypocrisies to drive home his message of they are corrupt, we are clean. The irony here is that those still on trial over humongous looting of the treasury but switched from the party of the corrupt, the PDP to the party of the saint, the APC, were suddenly given the deodorant treatment. In Osinbajo's world of dual morality, these ex-sinners are not looters and their loot cannot be used to build schools, hospitals, provide potable drinking water and construct roads, build bridges etc. As the Americans would say, gimme a break!

If people were easily taken in by a bait-and-switch campaign in 2015 to get the APC elected, I can assure Osinbajo that he has to try harder this time around. Why? Because the supposedly penniless man of integrity (was he really penniless in the first place?) who was trusted to right all the wrongs has proved to be a total disappointment on all fronts. The man has surrounded himself with the putative culprits of the system who are still offending. Osinbajo's pastoral morality which had served as a cover for hypocrisy would fail.

Ordinarily, Osinbajo is a man who would have been after my own heart. He approximates Nigeria's new-breed leaders many yearn for. But he appears to have been sucked into the old ways of doing things by his long association with his godfather; unlike the biblical Daniel who when he found himself in a similar situation, displayed an excellent spirit (Daniel 1:8 ). Osinbajo lacks the critical distance needed from the past because he is inextricably tied to the apron strings of Bola Tinubu, a former governor of Lagos State. Until Tinubu's regime is probed (I am waiting patiently for that day) for a full accounting and he (Osinbajo) emerges unscathed, I will be reluctant to roll out the red carpet for him. For those who don't know, Osinbajo served as the Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice for eight years when Tinubu held sway as the governor of Lagos State.

Even more crucial to my grouse about Osinbajo is that he lacks the gumption of a leader and a redeemer he postures to be. He failed the leadership test when under his watch as the acting president, a coalition of northern groups, Arewa Youths Consultative Forum, issued a reckless six-month ultimatum to people of Igbo extraction living in the North to vacate the region before October 1, 2017. What did he do? Nothing! In short, for a long time, he failed to make any comment on the issue. When he finally did, he was appeasing, pleading and making general statements about the need for unity. That single incident injured my estimation and respect for the vice-president.

I expected him to order the immediate arrest of those who issued that statement to send a powerful deterrent message to narrow ethnic agitators in the country that he would not tolerate their challenge. He would have acted against those folks with the full arsenal of the coercive force of the state and the heavens would not have fallen. Having seen that the acting president lacked the ability to enforce and deter, the guys who issued the ultimatum started to stroll about the country unhindered. If they were testing Osinbajo's will to act, they clearly won.

I don't know if members of the Buhari cabinet think highly of him either. If they do, then it certainly didn't look that way when he was the acting president. Remember how the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, casually dismissed Osinbajo's endorsement of the EFCC Chairman, Ibrahim Magu's continuous stay as the anti-graft agency helmsman, as his personal opinion? Because according to him, “The fundamental consideration about the alleged statement is the fact that at no point ever did the Federal Executive Council sit down to arrive at the decision in one way or the other as far as the issue of nomination or otherwise is concerned.

When Osinbajo was the acting president, a large chunk of the $25 billion contracts were awarded by the GMD of NNPC, Maikanti Baru without going through due process, nor was the approval of the board obtained. It is a measure of how highly top officials of this government regard him that even while presidential authority had been transferred to him as the coordinator, Baru would sneak out of town to take contract papers to Buhari who was at the time marooned in a London hospital to sign.

Osinbajo has so far failed to utter any statement of condemnation (until this week's killings in Benue) of terrorist-Fulani herdsmen as they continue the mindless killing of innocent people all over the country. I don't know how this man-of-God pastor[b]sleeps at night knowing that the elected government he serves in as the number two is a government that attaches more value to the lives of cows than that of humans.[/b] I hope one day when he returns to the pulpit to preach the word of God, he will not have cows as his congregation. Remember the Benue State government had accused him of failing to act when as the acting president, the state government alerted him of a plot by terrorist-Fulani herdsmen to unleash violence on some communities in the state. He however denied he was notified.

Sometime last year, Osinbajo in his attempt to impress his boss amid the groundswell of agitation for the restructuring of the country, derided those protesting against their marginalisation by this government. This was how he put it. It is also not true that those who make marginalisation charges are altruistic. Often what they are saying is I am marginalised, appoint me.

I was shocked to the marrow by that statement. Really, I asked myself, how can the cry of maginalisation caused by the deliberate policies of this government and the subsequent clamour for restructuring of the country to make it work better, suddenly translate to seeking appointment from this government. What an insult from Pastor Osinbajo! Is this what small power does to even men of God? Why was he so willing to stake his reputation on another man's conscience?

We saw this before in 2015. Babatunde Fashola, the then governor of Lagos State was all over the place campaigning for Buhari. He lured many to believe the many lies told about the leadership prowess of Buhari to deliver. Today as a minister, Fashola has lost his voice and credibility. Shortly after he handed over power in Lagos, he was found to have misused public money on an industrial scale including inflated contracts to dig two boreholes for a whopping sum of N139 million, upgrade of his personal website for N78.3 million, and sundry malfeasance. Osinbajo is treading the same path as the new poster boy of 2019 to re-elect Buhari even in the face of his glaring failure. He is desperately blaming others for Buhari's colossal failure. He has so far failed to tell Nigerians what Buhari has achieved in three years to deserve a second term other than to say the previous government stole this and that amount.

Now to the very critical point: By now everybody knows the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) looted public treasury to finance the 2015 election. Osinbajo has repeatedly stated this much in his public statements. But what Osinbajo has not ventured to tell the public is how the All Progressives Congress (APC) raised money to finance the 2015 campaign. Charity they say begins at home. If Pastor Osinbajo wanted to succeed in his campaign against corruption, he should have started the cleansing with his party and then apply the same standards to all others.

Only recently, the INEC admitted the Edo and Ondo governorship elections were heavily corrupted and that victory went to the highest bidder. Need I remind Osinbajo that his party, the APC, won the elections? The question is, where did the money used to procure the mandates come from? A man who runs from the truth will eventually find out head got no place to go.

Oh, I just remembered. Someone whispered to me that Osinbajo may have prayed and fasted for seven days, thereafter, the heavens opened and money in different currencies, particularly the U.S dollar and British pounds poured forth and filled Osinbajo house and this was used to finance Buhari's election and the APC's wins in the two states.

Not long after his unfortunate job-seeking remark, Osinbajo declared that Buhari's appointments were in favour of the South. It was one more instance when our so-called man of God stood facts on their heads. [/b]In case he did not know, the heads of the entire national security positions in this country are under the firm control of one ethnic group.

Now, lets imagine for a moment that Osinbajo was not a part of this government; would he have muttered all this nonsense? I guess not! [b]One last word for the pastor vice president, no man has ever succeeded in separating himself from his shadow.

Haters must just hate. It is in their blood. In this part of the world, we disparage and malign personalities just for crass political correctness.
In the political history of Nigeria, Osinbajo remains the best ever produced vice president. No other comes close to him, not klepto Atiku, not redundant Sambo neither less ambitious Jonathan. No amount of pen attack can subdue the good works of this gentle & focused Prof.

I found your elder brother. You guys have the same gene �

No man can finish solving the problems of this country. Most of it are generational in nature even long before 1918 amalgamation. A committed public servant would contribute his bit and move on. Kudos to him.

This is so cute. Many Nigerians will benefit from these; at least the bright ones. Thank you VP Osinbajo for your tenacity on creative programs like this

I love this! Social media is fast becoming a junkyard for different kinds of animals. We need some sanity asap!

It's a good one. Wishing him a safe trip.
We would certainly have some that would troll him for traveling out when the nation is in serious security turmoil but fact is Nigeria as a country doesn't exist in isolation. It belongs to the comity of nations.

Obaseki during the meeting

This country is just so difficult to govern as a result of her complicated citizens. When Buhari was about to emerge as the president, Islamization Agenda was flown. Now with Prof Osinbajo, it has changed to Christianization Agenda. When we would start being tolerant along political/religious lines?

This is visionary of any state. Others should key in asap. Digitalization is the new oil!

Many see Nigeria as a nation of oil but then we even have much more in Gas deposit. This current focus & target of net zero emission can only be achieved by our continued zeal along maximizing our gas deposit & use
