Politics / Re: Police Arrest Armed Hoodlum At Lekki Toll Gate by DTaj: 2:58pm On Oct 20, 2021 |
OG1BABY: Protecting himself with this big machete and assorted charms? Haba! Let's be objective. Some of the so-called protesters, like the one that was arrested, wanted to conduct the mayhem they meted onto innocent people, policemen, businesses, and public buildings and assets, as they did one year ago! |
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) / Re: Manchester United Vs Everton (1 - 1) On 2nd October 2021 by DTaj: 2:27pm On Oct 02, 2021 |
Everton played WITHOUT their two best players- Richarlison and Calvert-Lewin, yet, they earned a well-deserved 1-1 draw at Old Trafford. Had they played, Man Utd may have lost the game. Incredible. Ole is driving Man Utd to the abyss! How long will the bias about "he is a Man United legend" going to last? Chelsea fired their legend, Lampard, when things didn't go well. 18 Likes 4 Shares |
Politics / Re: Governor Ortom Serves His Aides Food To Appreciate Their Services [PHOTOS] by DTaj: 3:36pm On Sep 25, 2021 |
This is the ONLY PROJECT (serving his aides food) this lay about of a Governor has "commissioned" since he was elected Governor of Benue State in 2015!!! Having thought that Suswan was poor as Governor, Ortom is WORSE, FAR WORSE! He only starts talking and criticising when salaries and pensions are due; yet, he won't pay! If you must become a vibrant opponent to a ruling party, show better thinking through your projects (this is the reason I respect Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State!); but for Ortom, it is baseless grandstanding with ZERO PROJECT! And this clown has a PhD Wonderful! � 1 Like |

Politics / Re: Defections: APC Is A Highly Unprincipled Party — Itse Sagay by DTaj: 7:59am On Jun 29, 2021 |
Obasanjo started the binge of defection and decamping. He, it was, who decimated the 2nd largest party ahead of the 2003 elections, ANPP, by dangling carrots (like special billions from Ecological Fund to their states, like PDP states got too- absolute corruption!) in the faces of their Governors and they defected enmasse to PDP subsequently. The list is long- Bauchi, Sokoto, Zamfara, Kebbi, Gombe, etc. Borno, which he couldn't take, for obvious reasons, he made their Governor, Ali Modu Sheriff (the same Sheriff!) his errand boy, whose body was in ANPP, but whose soul served Obasanjo in PDP! He even appointed ANPP National Chairman at that time, Waziri, as Special Adviser! Just imagine that- a PDP President appointed the National Chairman of the strongest opposition party- as Special Adviser! That was the nail on the coffin of ANPP- that party never recovered until it merged with others to form APC in 2013. Defection is Obasanjo's legacy. We tend to forget the past a lot in Nigeria. We may have forgotten that Obasanjo, who now writes letters all over the place, ordered soldiers to kill everybody in two towns- Odi (Bayelsa State), Zaki Biam (Benue State)- following the killing of some soldiers by locals. Those two towns were completely burnt down and thousands of Nigerians were murdered! 1 Like |

Yari is only doing a self-preservation stunt. He, it was, with Senator Kabiru Marafa, who killed APC with their stupid fight, which made Supreme Court to award ALL elections to PDP on a platter! In fact, some members of the Zamfara State House of Assembly didn't print a single poster and they were declared winners by the Supreme Court on account of the foolishness of Yari and Marafa! Yari knows that should Matawalle defect to APC, his stronghold on that party is gone! The new godfathers would be Matawalle and Sani Yerima (Matawalle's godfather). Fools they all are; they loot for their selves, family members, and acolytes only. They hate the masses with unbridled passion! God help us! |
Politics / Re: Matawalle: Protests Against Buhari’s Medical Vacation Is An Attack On The North by DTaj: 8:00am On Apr 09, 2021 |
PDP supporters on Nairaland are confused. Should they insult PDP Governor Matawalle after this balderdash? They can't. They couldn't. The North, less educated, but profoundly intelligent in terms of politics. Wike donated N500 million of Rivers State money to Sokoto State after a market fire incident. APC Governors and PDP Governors donated N50 million and N100 million respectively to Zamfara State, following a market fire. When will any APC or PDP Governor donate a single kobo to Oyo State after the fire incident at Agodi-Gate Market? Most politicians in Southern Nigeria are weak and daft! QED! The ever-savvy, discerning North would continue to dominate!!! 1 Like |
Politics / Re: Zamfara Market Fire: APC Governors Donate N50m, 6 PDP Governors Donate N100M by DTaj: 3:09pm On Apr 08, 2021 |
If Matawalle is discerning enough, he should see that PDP's visit was an afterthought. A market got engulfed in fire and it took a visit of opposition APC governors and rumour of the imminent defection of Zamfara Governor to APC for PDP Governors, his colleagues, especially those in the North (nearby Sokoto and others) to pay a similar visit! In my view, this unintelligent visit by PDP Governors is damn too late. Matawalle, who wasn't truly elected as Governor (but benefitted from judicial pronouncements after APC's stupid internal squabble) is on his way to APC already! Did this same PDP Governors visit and donate a single kobo to Oyo State government after the fire at Agodi popular market in Ibadan? They did NOT. Interesting! |
Politics / Re: About One-Third Of Nigeria’s Ministers Attended Same University by DTaj: 11:23pm On Mar 15, 2021 |
Mikecold: Your analysis is too simplistic! It wasn't about "non-Northeners residing in Kaduna"! I'm talking about huge numbers of non-Northeners and people of multiple religions who travelled all the way from Lagos, Port Harcourt, Owerri, Ilorin, Ibadan, Ogbomosho, Oshogbo, Enugu etc, etc to Zaria for University education! In Ibadan, I remember so well, they had dedicated buses that conveyed students to Zaria as soon as we resumed from the endless ASUU strikes under Babangida and Abacha regimes. How were they residents of the North? For instance, I lived in Kwara State and my two room mates from second year to final year lived in Lagos, where they were born and bred. More than half of my classmates lived outside the North! Currently, we have a WhatsApp group and that attribute was reinforced in its membership. We have almost an equal number of Muslims and Christians; just as we have multiple ethinicities such as Igbo, Efik, Ibibio, Oron, Yoruba, Hausa, Angas, Birom, Fulani, Igala, Nupe, Kutep, Kaje, Tiv, Idoma, Kanuri, Bachama, Ebira, Koto, Baruba, etc, etc. Almost 60% of my lecturers in Zaria were non-Northeners! In fact, my project supervisor was a certain Odiongeyi (long deceased), a cerebral man from Cross Rivers State. My Marketing lecturer was Dr. Akpan, an Akwa-Ibom man. Mr. Osagiede (also deceased), an Edo man, was the Use of English lecturer in 100 level. I could go on and on... My several travels, across universities in Nigeria, for AIESEC regional and national events, such as National Congresses, as an undergraduate, in that era, proved my assertion about ABU Zaria being the MOST COSMOPOLITAN UNIVERSITY in Nigeria without any equivocation! These are facts that put a lie to your overtly wrong and simplistic analogy. 1 Like |
Politics / Re: About One-Third Of Nigeria’s Ministers Attended Same University by DTaj: 3:56pm On Mar 15, 2021 |
Iykenuwa: I agree with ALL of these 100%. ABU Zaria is the MOST COSMOPOLITAN UNIVERSITY IN NIGERIA; every part of the country is represented, via staff (academic and non-academic), students, and administrators. I saw a solid mix of Muslims and Christians, almost all Nigerian tribes, foreigners, etc. You needed to have been educated there to know! I was admitted there 29 years ago, in 1992. It was a mini-Nigeria, in that era, and even now, as far as I am aware. 2 Likes |

Politics / Re: Defection: APC Sets Up Committee To Woo Obaseki by DTaj: 11:53pm On Mar 14, 2021 |
This had been the game plan from the BEGINNING! Buhari, Osinbajo, and almost ALL the APC governors supported Obaseki's re-election, except a few, like Hope Uzodimma. In fact, not only did Buhari refuse to attend Ize-Iyamu's final campaign rally in Benin, Osinbajo, who was supposed to represent him (as an afterthought) CANCELLED the rally at the last-minute (2 days to the election)! The current APC Caretaker Committee, headed by Mai Mala Buni, is full of anti-Oshiomhole elements, who wanted Obaseki's re-election. It is payback time from Obaseki to the new APC cabal...He will return to that party, very soon. |

This is one the reasons politicians continue to loot our commonwealth! These fools, who make up Ibori's village association in Lagos, are very much likely members of the looting elite, who must have benefitted from many dodgy contracts under Ibori's corrupt 8-year tenure as Governor... Ibori, who was a 'store rat' at a DIY store in London, was rich before he became Delta State Governor? Nigeria is like a young woman, who has become old and haggard, after having been countlessly raped by her own children (the citizens)! Where is our redemption as a people? Is this the way we shall continue? The elites do not care whether or not Nigeria fails, as far as they can continue to loot and plunder!

The quality and level of thought process of ALMOST ALL our politicians is damn too LOW and POOR! First, because the older brother of a former 8-year Governor and current Senator, Gabriel Suswam, a known looter, whose EFCC case subsists, was assassinated, a security meeting of the entire Benue State had to be called by the pliant fool called Governor Ortom? The elites know how to take care of their ilk. If a poor farmer in Makurdi was assassinated, would daft Ortom have made a statement, let alone convene an entire security meeting? Two, just because the assassins used a particular brand of Toyota vehicle, popularly known as "duck yansh", the stupid Governor banned the use of that vehicle in the whole of Sankera area of Benue State? Innocent owners of that brand of Toyota cannot use their personal vehicles due to this nonsensical ban? So, this particular group of assassins (or other groups) can't use an entirely different brand of vehicle to commit crime? Again, if anyone got assassinated by a criminal gang that used a Mazda, ALL Mazda cars would be banned in that part of Benue too? Why are our politicians this stupid? Who did Nigerians offend, to the extent that we have this kind of leaders? Kai!!! 2 Likes |

Vanguard newspaper quoted the Chairman of Logo local government, Benue State, that his killers were definitely the boys of the late notorious Benue terrorist, Gana. He claimed that the boys openly threatened to kill anyone close to former Governor (now Senator) Gabriel Suswan, if they can't find Suswan, as a payback for his role in the murder of Gana. The Chairman added that Gana's boys have made telephone calls to several people they believed contributed to the death of Gana and and threatened to kill them. The Vanguard newspaper report claimed that the late older Suswam had many businesses and properties, including a Polytechnic, Rice Mill, FM Radio Station, among several others. |

What's happening to PDP? The last time it was a fight between: 1. Gov. Matawale of Zamfara and all the PDP South-South Governors. 2. Gov. Wike of Rivers and Gov. Ayade of Cross River. 3. National Chairman Uche Secondus and Gov. Wike. And now, it's a bitter public vituperation and name calling between Gov. Bala Mohammed of Bauchi and Gov. Ortom of Benue. Still raging fiercely is the fight between former Governor Fayose and Gov. Makinde of Oyo for control of South-West PDP. Yesterday, whereas Seyi Makinde-backed PDP South-West EXCO published in the newspapers, notice of caucus meeting holding today at Oyo State Government House, Agodi, Ibadan; the EXCO faction loyal to Fayose made the same publication in different newspapers of a caucus meeting to hold same day, today, February 23 2021, at Radisson Blu Hotel, Ikeja GRA, Lagos!!!
