The only foreign investment attracted by APC Chairman Oshiomole in 8 years as Edo State Governor.
You can see the Dullard clapping for people kissing because dementia made him to think it was a comedy show

Na so, you will promote 'National Unity' with your one sided nepotistic appointments and northernization policies

I just remember APC ZoneBs and I tell the other person thanks for making my great with this meme

amaniro:
he didn't just go to US. He went to the federal capital Territory

He is in Asokoronton and Maitamanton District of Abuja

Most of the people there are youths who came to collect their own share of the campaign funds, it may not have much to do with Buhari as Delta have few completed federal government projects to celebrate.
Ibori despite being a convict had more crowd than this and it shows you where the pendulum will swing.
Ogboru could be the candidate to beat for 2019 when the Governorship will be zoned to his area, for now many Deltans want to respect the unwritten arrangement which has guaranteed relative peace in the state by allowing Anioma to go for a second term.

Buhari never stepped into America for 15 years until he became president and had diplomatic cover. Perhaps same may apply to Atiku and his going to America should not be APC main campaign point against him

How come this childish nonsense made FP, NL is becoming trashy by the day

Hotfreezer:
You flatheaded pig blames Tinubu for everything, even your father's inability to give birth to sensible children.

Igbo Yoruba Muslim lamenting bitterly

SaintNemesis:
There is North East, North West and North Central but you mischievously choose to neglect the six Geo political zones, when you get to the North, but share the South in three...South East, South West and South-south.

Hallmark of a Yoruba Muslim, always trying to make the SE look insignificant

MobilityExpress:
THEORETICALLY, Governor El-rufai is right. The North has the highest natural resources more than any other region and has the biggest land size.

As you can see, the North has the highest natural resources, followed by SouthSouth, SouthWest, and the South East has the least. So in theory, the North wins. In practicality, the SouthSouth wins because of its huge oil and gas deposits. Futuristically, the North wins because oil and gas will soon be obsolete.

Rubbish! Switzerland, Sweden, Japan have no natural resources but they are among the richest countries in the world, while Nigeria with all the above resources is the poverty capital of the world. South East does not need natural resources to survive, they only technological ingenuity which they are abundantly blessed with despite all the frustrations from the federation.

In another development
AGBEROS MUST STOP!

The only reason why Thugs would have the effrontery to start trouble in front of a sitting Governor is

The ₦282.6 billion IGR Lagos State Transport Sector ceded out illegally.

Lagos money-spinning kalokalo.

The Average illegal tax on Bike in Lagos is ₦600/day sampling 6 locations.

The Average illegal tax on Keke Marwa in Lagos is #1000/day sampling 6 locations.

Average Illegal tax on yellow bus and molue is ₦3000 /day sampling 6 locations in Lagos.

There is a minimum of 120,000 bikes in Lagos taxed illegally.

There is of a minimum of 120,000 Marwa Keke in Lagos taxed illegally.

There is a minimum of 145,000 registered Danfo buses and molues when we join the unregistered we will be talking of over 250,000 taxed illegally.


This Agberos are very efficient in this illegal tax collection that they rarely miss.

Okada
₦600*120,000 = ₦ 72,000,000 /day

Keke Marwa
₦1000* 120,000= ₦120,000,000 /day

Danfo+Molue ₦3000*250,000= ₦ 750,000,000/day

Illegal tax at stake per day in Lagos is.
₦ 942 million /day

The Agberos in Lagos stands to cash out.
(₦72m + ₦120m + ₦ 750,000) * 300 days annually =₦ 282.6 billion annually. Excluding public holidays and Sundays, some collect tax on Sundays.

Pls, note the number of Bikes, Keke and buses in Lagos surpasses the numbers I used in my analysis.

This is 91 % of the IGR of Lagos in 2017 and some guys just screw the danfo drivers. That is why the drivers and conductors are mad in Lagos.

This is over 27% of the 2018 Lagos State budget.

This cash is more than the capital spending on education in Lagos since 1999.

This cash is more than the IGR of all the 35 states individually.

If Lagos State takes just 50% of this cash and leaves 50% to the Agberos we will fix our roads in 15 years max.

Over to the incoming Governor of Lagos.

Me: No wonder they will kill to remain in power

He supplies BIG SNAKES, that seems to be a relation of Lalasticlala
Lala is doing free advert for their family business

Did you go to Ekiti before EFCC S started threatening Fayose who was then a sitting Governor.
We know why you pretended not to be aware, it's simply because of the 5m almajiri and under age votes he promised you

Can this topic help with strategy to send Buhari to Daura, if not then it is another feminists trash

Another stupid post on FP

No matter what you say about him Jagaban grooms men, he is truly a detribalized Nigerian, one of the reasons for Ambode being thrown out is because he is vindictive like Buhari, Ambode was anti Igbo and Hausa, today we can see Sanwo-olu and Agbaje reaching out to every group to the point that Igbo votes is now divided between the two main candidates in Lagos unlike in 2015.

Seetto:
Finally, we have to deport that devil incarnate to Biafra land......

He will still retain his seat in Kwara and it has nothing to do with Biafra, I know how much that pains you. Sanu, Ndi, Ejoo

This is what MURIC wants for South West

Victoria Azarenka was a mess loosing her first game and that cost me a lot

But I think Serena has a good chance of grabbing it, though her tight fit attire is getting more publicity than her game

At the rate that they are going very soon we will start hearing that NTA news at Nine music Tor tor tuu, tor tu tor tu, tarara ra tara ra ra ra tara ra before Channels news at 10PM

Nobody should eat that thing, it's blood Gari.
I hope nobody in Ekiti is eating that APC rice carried in a trailer which crushed 15 citizens to death days ago

If you performed well you won't need to bribe Lagosians with satchets of Gari, they will vote for you without all this Gari and rice they are sharing

New IGP: Why Progressive Northerners Should be Embarrassed

In August 2015, when I first publicly voiced out my disapproval of what I called the embarrassingly undisguised Arewacentricity of Buhari’s appointments, a few people, mostly southerners, asked why I was bothered since I'm a northern Muslim who is “favored” by such appointments—“favored,” that is, on the emotional and symbolic plane. I was—and still am—bothered for at least four reasons.

One, I criticized similar such parochial appointments by previous presidents from the South. It would be hypocritical to look the other way because I'm now “favored” by such appointments. (Yes, I have more friends and acquaintances in powerful positions in this government than I’ve ever had since 1999). Two, Buhari came to power on the promise of “change,” on the promise of doing things differently. Three, people from my region and religion won’t always be in power. I want to be able to stand on a firm moral pedestal when I criticize future presidents who replicate Buhari’s (and previous presidents’) provincialism.

Four, and most important, I am personally embarrassed by Buhari’s insularity—and every progressive northerner should be. It’s the sort of embarrassment you feel when your best friend who thinks highly of your mother visits you in your home and your mother, during a family dinner, gives you a considerably bigger food portion size and choicer pieces of meat than your friend. You feel like screaming: “Mom, I know you love me, but you’re embarrassing me by showing overt preferential treatment to me in the presence of my friend.”

That’s precisely how the appointment of yet another northern Muslim Inspector General of Police has made me feel.

Can’t Buhari even pretend for a moment and pleasantly disappoint his critics by appointing someone from the South as IGP?

A northern Muslim DSS boss was fired by VP Osinbajo and the most senior office after him, who turned out to be a southern Christian, was asked to replace him. Instead of confirming his appointment, Buhari, upon his return from London, brought another old northern Muslim from retirement (yes, he was tired, retired, and enjoying the reticence of retirement) and made him the DSS boss without ever interviewing him for the job!

Buhari’s self-defense for his provincial appointments is that he needs to appoint only people he can trust. If after working for more than two decades in the Nigerian military, far and away Nigeria’s most ecumenical institution, he can’t trust anyone outside his cultural, regional, and religious comfort zone, HE IS the problem, not the people he distrusts.

By the way, why does he hanker after the votes of people he doesn’t and can’t trust but whines about getting “only 5 percent” from them when they don’t vote for him?

That’s unreasonable.

You don't trust a people to appoint them to "sensitive positions"?

Then don't ask for their votes--and don't whine when they don't vote for you.

This is sad

Tinubu releases his 10 Years Challenge
I like this one

It seems the guy escaped poverty

Not so bad, at least they are making people laugh

Who know this one, even Mama Onome selling akara in my area will soon decamp to APC and the Yoruba Muslim media will cover it

unmask:
the same way Italian shoes are called Italian shoes......you are known by what you produce

Not the same, there was civil war resentment back then and the aim was to discourage patronage which to the closure of businesses or putting fake labels on products such as made in Italy for Aba produced shoes.
Remember that many Nigerians were shocked by the quick revival of Igbos whom they felt will not survive with Awolowo 20 pounds policy and nationalization of companies and factories in favour of South West

South West hardly promote anything good about Igbo made goods, they coined the word 'Aba made, Igbo made' to discredit the goods of Igbos still reeling from the effects of the civil war. Other tribes copied them and avoided goods produced in Eastern Nigeria as inferior for far more inferior goods from Taiwan and China which was still then developing there exports.
This advise is apt at this time

CharleyBright:
Pls how many Southern DIGP were compulsorily retired to pave way for this new IGP to emerge?

The Southerners can never get justice and fair play under Buhari.
Any Southerner following or supporting Buhari is doing so purely for selfish reason of political ambition.

Yoruba Muslims won't like this, it's say Sai Buhari
