PoliticsRe: $3M Bribery: Otedola Submits Evidence To Police by edicolove: 10:47am On Jun 13, 2012
Mr. Globe:
Gibberish, Gibberish......
The subsidy report and those indicted including the president and diezzanni madueke must not die!!!!!

you should understand am not ready to go back and forth with you... Am only after the biggest govt scam in the whole whole. The fuel subsidy scam pepetrated by GEJ and his team!!!! It must not die!
You are pathetically trying to stand on a false foundation. Your wish really should be that somehow, Lawan is proven innocent because if he is found guilty, which is looking very much the case, then the whole subsidy probe is compromised and totally unreliable. It means the report itself is false and can not be used to indict anyone. It will also mean the artonney general was right when he said the probe was a witchhunt and is not reliable. I do want a probe but we cannot call blackmail and extortion a probe and any document arising from such a process is only good for the trash can.
PoliticsRe: $3M Bribery: Otedola Submits Evidence To Police by edicolove: 10:32am On Jun 13, 2012
The facts are so far very clear in this case and I don't see any ambiguity and don't understand the comments of those saying no one should take sides. It is purely about facts, not taking sides.

1. Otedola blew the lid, not Lawan
2. Otedola has produced the evidence so far, not Lawan
3. Lawan did ask the house to remove Otedola's company from the list; evidence to prove he changed his mind after something happened, in the case, after being settled
4. Otedola has the recording of the sting, not Lawan.
5. The police cannot say they asked Lawan to collect the bribe as evidence and didn't provide a way to record the event. That would be the most stup1d thing I have ever heard. And please, the video and audio devices for doing such stings are so cheap in this ICT age that it would ridiculous for someone to claim the police couldn't afford it. He could have even used his phone to get at least an audio evidence. Saying the evidence to prove Lawan right is the one in Otedola's custody is the height of ignorance and stup1d1ty! Don't even say dare to say that in a law court!
6. Lawan did deny that he collected anything until Otedola declared he had evidence.

These are the basic facts. Otedola might not be a saint but in this case, Lawan is the one on the dock, not Otedola. If you want to allow your hatred for Otedola or your desire for a subsidy probe to becloud your sense of reasoning, the goodluck to you.

Mr. Globe:
you are an idi/ot! Very big one
GEJ is the most corrupt president
Diezzani Madueke is a thief
Otedola is a criminal minded lab rat.

The subsidy report must not die!!!!!
The irony and stup1d1ty of your post is that you want good governance and change but you don't want facts or the truth. So since the subsidy report must not die, Lawan should be allowed to blackmail and extort money from oil marketers and importers? If Lawan is guilty, then the whole subsidy probe was a hoax. Deal with it. He that must come to equity must come with clean hands. You cannot change Nigeria thru blackmail and corruption. If Otedola is guilty, the evidence will eventually prove it. But so far, Otedola is looking like a star and I don't even like the guy.

You can shout all day and wallow in f00lishness, but that will never erase fact. GEJ has not been indicted or convicted for any corruption so your claim that he is the most corrupt president is mere blackmail and propaganda! Please man up and act like an intelligent person, even if you are not, and only dwell on facts, not your sentimental rants!

beespak7: This $3million bribery scandal sting is just a smoke screen by otedola if he was clean why will he sucom to presure and pay the bribe in the first place? The truth is they are all currupt the probe must continue bribe here or there.
What are you still on about? Somebody said he he setup a sting to catch someone and you are still saying why did he succumb to pressure and pay the bribe. Is English so difficult?
PoliticsRe: $3M Bribery: Otedola Submits Evidence To Police by edicolove: 9:42am On Jun 13, 2012
Mr. Globe:
Otedola is a criminal. He has finally soiled his evasive image. Your products are not subsidized and you went on to pay bribe. You paid bribe - an offence in itself.. GEJ, Diezanni Madueke and their cabal has finally used you to try to cover up trillions of looted funds.
As for farouk, am really yet to understand your triple mouths sha
Do you understand the meaning of "organise a sting with SSS using marked notes". Nigerian education system is really a mess. If he organised a sting, then he didn't commit any offence. And please leave GEJ and others out of it. When you were told that certain people sponsored the subsidy protests, you said it was a lie. Now that's your evidence right there. Deal with it!
PoliticsRe: $3M Bribery: Otedola Submits Evidence To Police by edicolove: 9:31am On Jun 13, 2012
This whole issue is very simple. If Lawan is innocent and was actually trying to get evidence to nail Otedola, he should have at least 2 things. 1. A video or at least audio of the bribe event showing he was actually setting Otedola up and 2. The dollar notes should be completely intact and unspent. If he doesn't have these 2 things, he is a liar and a criminal. It is that simple. If he has spent 1 dollar out of the money, it means he is a liar and a thief.

PoliticsRe: If My Father Steals I Will Jail Him. by edicolove: 10:51am On Jun 11, 2012
It is not true that in America and europe, people will jail their parents or that they have zero tolerance for corruption. There are many false info that are being peddled around, especially in fora like these. Europe and America is full of criminals. Crime rate is increasing by the day. Corruption brought down wall street and plunged the world into a recession. It was corruption of oyibos, not Nigerians. Sometimes I wish sociology and hisory are thaught in schools as a compulsory course. There is so much ignorance when people discuss this topic. Italy is totally ruled by the mafia. Now their football has just had another hit just after 4 years of coming out of one corruption scandal. Eufa is investigating about 4 countries of match fixing. Europian officials are the ones protecting Sepp Blatter from prosecution. He is a corrupt f00l.

I could go on and on. Brazil is about the 7 biggest economy in the world and they are almost as corrupt as Naija. My point is very simple. When it comes to the prosperity and development of nations, there are many factors involved. And like I have always maintained in this forum, corruption is not the biggest factor. Corruption itself is a result of much more fundamental factors like Oneness/Unity, visionary people and leaders(and I don't mean elected leaders. Indira ghandi and Enstein were not elected by anyone), good value system and idolatory.(Idolatory is basically the worship of material things including money). When you have these fundamental issues in any society, no matter who becomes the president, things will not improve.

We need something very drastic to turn this country around.
PoliticsRe: FG Created 1.4 Million Jobs In 12 Months – Aganga by edicolove: 12:16pm On Jun 08, 2012
Education is supposed to be an advantage but I have realised that it is many peoples disadvantage and undoing.

1. Thousands are receiving SME loans for business everyday of between 50k to 800k(sometimes more) at different levels. If you are not aware and are not benefiting, it is your problem, not Aganga's.

2. If you think that the owner of a keke napep is not making money, again you are the one f00ling yourself. Your education has simply blinded you to opportunities. Fact: a keke napep driver makes more money than a regular bank worker. If you doubt it, go to Ikeja and do a research.

3. SMEs are the building blocks of any nation, not white collar government jobs. So if your idea of Job creation is to see advert from government ministries, I pity you.

4. Anyone who says he has been pushing CVs around for months is either a. Too proud to do available jobs, b. Too greedy to start from somewhere, c. A liar or d. An id1ot! There are job adverts everywhere. So you cannot come here and say there are no jobs. What you could say is those jobs don't fit your desired job expectation or pay and that is a problem everywhere in the world.

5. Like someone pointed above, the government sure is creating jobs but these jobs are far from adequate considering the population explosion Nigeria is experiencing and many other factors.

6. I think what is required right now is the completion of the power privatization because this is the biggest thing plaguing SMEs. If they can fast track the power process, we can have a major lift in terms of job creation.
PoliticsRe: Airspace Not Shut Down For First Lady, Says Minister by edicolove: 8:00pm On Jun 06, 2012
I was speaking with a political scientist yesterday and he was giving us an elaborate analysis of Nigeria and why things might not improve except there is some kind of divine intervention. It confirmed what I have always said everywhere.

The problem of Nigeria is not corruption but something more fundamental. It is the basic fact that we are a false marriage gone awry. That is the reason for corruption and other vices. This thread just confirmed it again. We are suddenly back to politics. We against them. Those who have vowed that the nation will be made ungovernable, are making good their promise. You have to give it to them, they are doing a pretty damn job!

University name change to MKO: they succeeded in turning it into a bad thing.

Plane crash from a useless airline: its got to be the presidents wife.

Its very boring now though and I think its a plus for GEJ eventually because when you throw all the kitchen sink so early in the fight, what will you do in the 11th and 12th rounds? Keep throwing your punches. You are only making the guy stronger and helping him win sympathy votes. At the end, you be so ashamed, you'll not be able to show your face in public! A country where people fight when they are not in power and call themselves social critics fighting for the masses; until they get power. Sad.

I blame GEJ for failing to curb the excesses of boko haram before it escalated to this point. Weak spineless thing.
F00ls like you will continue to exibit your stup1d1ty. Fights like these have been going on in Naija since independence. This was what led to the civil war. Even successive military governments could do little about it. People were beheaded and their head hung on stakes during even Abacha's regime, as stern as he was. Boko Aram is a result of many years of unchecked development of these kind of groups. It didn't start during GEJ's time.

The real issue is simply that Nigeria as an entity, is fundamentally flawed. We have been forced into a forced marriage and only a divorce can change things.

afam4eva: The word "Terrorism" is gotten from the word "Terror" which means "cause of intense fear". So, whether it's in self defence or not, it's still terrorism. I blame the government for not bringing succor to the victims of religious and ethnic violence by nipping the plans of the perpetrators of this evil act in the bud.
Stop spreading falsehood. Use google, its free! There is a big difference between militants and terrorists. Terrorists are those who try to force their way and will on others. Militants are those who are figting for their freedom. BH is a terrorist organisation. Niger Delta boys are militants. They are not forcing anything on anyone. They are asking for their freedoms. This southern Kaduna group are militants or freedom fighters. The fulani heardsmen are the aggressors. These guys are defending themselves and they only way to do that is rid the zone of the aggressors. The fulani guys don't really live there. They go there to graze but end up killing and terrorising the local farmers. They do that all over the country as far as the southwest and south south.
PhonesRe: Google Buys Meebo by edicolove: 11:09pm On Jun 05, 2012
eezeebone: Point well understood, Facebook puts the targetted in targetted advertising... and that's why i said Google is lagging behind. Whoever says Zuckerberg still treats Facebook as a dorm room fantasy is far from current. That dude changed the way the whole world interacts. He's equally as visionary as Google.



Unfortunately i disagree, Google basically started with providing services which you pay for. Facebook is on their tails with advertising, he's just not as hungry yet. But you have to agree that Google is driving its nuts hard to get that relationship thing going. Not yet there. Many Googlers have left of recent stating that the Google guys are obsessed about beating Facebook at its game. Facebook is a game changer, has altered the course of human communication entirely. Google may have created online business models but Facebook put the social in social media... and while Google is the one stop shop for search, people spend more computing time on Facebook. Hence Android model,... push out a cheap software and make people use your products which you brandish in their faces. Watch out, Facebook has a plan too.
Some of you make comments without good research. Are you aware facebook just started making profits less than 3 years ago? How can you compare Google and facebook. And you still don't understand what a business model is from what ypu wrote.you probably are a geek like Zukerberg.

Facebook has alternatives, Google is an empire. Tweeter has already surpassed facebook as the platform of choice for news. Do you think people use facebook for serious business relationships? Hardly! Facebook is for chat with friends and peers. Many people I know hardly use facebook these days. If you want to have business relationships, you go to linkedin or use your BB. Google on the other hand provide a string of services that make your life tick. Google is not search, search is Google. You should update yourself. Google doesn't even talk about search anymore because that's a synonym now. The are trying to setup the future of computing based on cloud and on-the-go devices. Its more like total networking, synergy and interoperability. Haven't you noticed that most websites now use Google search as their site search tool?

What Google is doing is the opposite of what facebook is doing. Facebook is trying so hard to keep you within their space and are promising they can help you within that space. But Google is allowing you to create, manage and run your space freely while they provide you the tools and gadgets you require to succeed. Facebook takes away your identity, Google helps you to build an identity. Do you realise that as a facebbok user, you have a facebook email? But have you ever asked yourself why no one uses their facebook email.

There is a way facebook is perceived and it will take a lot to change that perception in the eye of the public

lanre_front: Thanks Canucks for helpimg to answer this guy.

@ Edilove,

Your agrguement is a very ambigous one; it's neither here nor there. It's at best a distraction-arguement that can be used against any good cause.

What issues do you suggest that they take the Presidency to court for: the 3000 billion fuel-subsidy scam. Or the 150 billion laundering scam exposed by the US goverment ivolving Joanthan, Adoke, Dan Etete etc., or Jonathan's refusal to sack the indicted Petroleum Minister or refusal to punush those indicted in the subsidy probe of Hosue of Representatives?

They are fighting the issue within their sphere of influence.

You say thay are misplacing their properties. You do realize like I already said, the crux of the matter is not the name change but the violation of the constitution.

You do realize the santity of the constitution of a country is what lays the foundation for every good thing that happens to that country: development, industrializaton, good heathcare, good infrastructure, dividends of demoracy etc.

And what is this Foundation that the constitution lays which are important & which are the foundation all other good things are built upon. They are: Justice, fairness, human-rights, equality before the law, highest good for the majority, due process, separtion of powers, etc.

So do you still consider the priorities of these students who are obvoiusly more informed than you misplaced?

The problem of today so called educated youths is that they don't have much upstairs. They talk from an empty head.
You guys are unrepentant hypocrites. So you mean the students that were on third mainland bridge were there because of the violation of the constitution? Have any of them there ever seen the constitution before? Lol. You guys won't change. Open your cocoyam leaf ears and hear loud and clear! You have misplaced priorities! You were already demonstrating and making noise long before the constitutional lawyers started running their mouths. So you aint fooling anyone with your "fighting for constitution" blab. You were angry because MKO's name did not have enough swag. Simply put, MKO's name was not up to it. Stop going round in circles.

When we were in school, we had our priorities straight. We fought for important stuff. Not petty stuff like this. Imagine your statement "in their sphere of influence". That just gave you up. As a student of a Nigerian university, anything that concerns Nigeria is your sphere of influence. That is how it has always been. That is why the Nigerian student is called the voice of the masses! Of course you can never understand that because you know nothing of the Aluta spirit. We fought for justice and equity in our time not for swag and hype! You can never understand that because all you do in that your school is party and yahoo!
PhonesRe: Google Buys Meebo by edicolove: 12:09pm On Jun 05, 2012
Seun: No offence intended, but this is nonsense. Google is as "democratic" as Facebook. In fact, it's more democratic because it allows you to get information from the best source regardless of whether the source is somehow "related" to you or not. Using the social graph for search is foolishness. When I want information about something important, I want the best information in the world. I don't want the best information in my circle of friends; if I did, I would just ask them directly. My friends are not experts on every topic, and even where they are experts, there are people out there who know better than them. Google helps me to find the best sources of info.
Brilliant point and just to add:

Google is a hydra. A monster with many heads. Only youtube alone is enough headache for facebook. Don't even talk about search, docs, analytics, android, maps, haba! Its a no contest.

The problem with facebook for me is Zukerberg himself. He still sees facebook as a havard fantasy. He has refused to graduate into the real world. In the real world, people will not pay hard money for gossip. Twitter has already surpassed facebook as the tool of choice for serious stuff. You have to understand Google's strategy and if you do, you will remove your hat for them. Even microsoft don't know how to tackle them. Mark my words, Google will kill microsoft eventually. Why? Because, the future is mobile, not desktop and laptop. The future is with pads and right now, Google owns pads. But most importantly, the effectiveness, productivity and brilliant connectivity of Google services is the masterstroke!

lanre_front: I have said sevearl times, and so has many other people, majority of Nairalanders are devoid of intellect. Otherwise, how difficult is to discern that the crux of the matter at hand (i.e. the case being files at court) is violation of the constitution and not the name change. The power to change the name of UNILAG belongs to the National Assembly and not the President.

Why is so difficult to understand, the reason why US and European countries are so much developed is no one can violate their constitution and go scot free. Even their President cannot violate their constitution by spending 3000 billion for an item which 247 billion has been budgeted by the lawmakers of the land.

What the students are doing is good for the country. They have more sense and balls than most adults and Nairalanders.

It's because our constitution is continually being violated everyday by the Executive that Nigeria is where it is today, a nation whose blood and intestines has been gutted by the terrible monster: CORRUPTION.

With the kind of youths we have on Nairaland, I don't see much hope for the nation being emacipated from the strangle hold of corruption.

Nairalanders, pls go and get yourself a brain and start using it for God's sake.
Hmmm, nice argument. But why aint they rather fighting for the very many serious issues that threathen their very existence. Instead they choose name change of all things to show their understanding of their human rights. This your argument is standing on one toe, bro. You need to do more to help it.

It seems to us that they have their priorities twisted. And please just to ask. These students have barely enough money to eat and keep up, so where will they get the money to run a court case that would go all the way to the supreme court if the parties are really serious and would span years. These kind of cases are very very expensive, believe me. Except of course, their generous sponsor, BAT, will bell the cat.

And just to let them know they will have long graduated by the time the case is thru or they will need to reject their certificate by the time they graduate because it will bear MAULAG. This is really hillarious!

The irony of Nigeria is that we are all asking for the government to fight corruption while we are all corrupt. Ain't we asking the government to fight us all then? Why not just drop the corruption and then the government will have nothing to fight and will not be able to do any corrupt thing.

We are the ones passing the files, preparing the cheques, drafting the papers and moving the goods accross the country and through the border. We are the ones who refuse to report it in the media, we defend and acquit the rogues and finally we hail them when they spend the loot to buy cars and throw parties. Why are we deceiving ourselves this badly?

We take bribe and give bribe like it doesn't matter and don't even feel anything from our conscience anymore. We sit at home and send someone to do our drivers licence, international passport, vehicle licence and even write our exams for us. We pay for children to cheat in exams. We ask for money to do our jobs and call it blessing. We inflate the prices of goods being supplied to our offices and add our "cut" and call it blessing or opportunity. We hail yahoo boys who defraud people and do ritual money and say "who God has blessed, no man can curse!" We defraud our companies where we work and give testimony on sundays! And finally, we approve planes that are not air worthy to fly, we turn the other way whenwe see the engineers busy patching it on the runway and we refuse to complain after flying inside those air-molues but just say thank God when we arrive and return to our homes. Why are we fooling ourselves.

Those who say it is because people are not punished don't understand social psychology. There are 2 types of punishment in a society. That which comes from the government and that which comes from society itself. The punishment from society is more severe than the punishment from government.

When we were much younger, if you are caught stealing, you will be so humiliated, rejected and disgraced by the society that you would prefer to be arrested and jailed. You couldn't walk on the street because everyone will avoid you and scorn you. Nobody will have anything to do with you. It was like total isolation and it was worse than going to prison

This is the kind of society you still find in Asian countries. In Japan, those who are caught in any kind of corruption mostly commit suicide because of this kind of societal punishment. But back in Nigeria, we have lost that completely. That is why the country is so messed up. Here, if you are corrupt, you are celebrated. We have a totally warped value system. The real problem I think is our worship of money and things. We are too materialistic as a people and it has eaten deep into our veins. It has nothing to do with government. We simply take the mindset to government offices.

Have you ever seen Bill Gates, Warren Buffet and so on driving around in super expensive cars and flouting their wealth? But here, you see common thieves who just have 20million in their account driving cars that are more expensive than Bill Gates cars. You see a man who earns 150k a month throw a party worth 3million Naira. I could go on and on but there is no need.

Until something happens to shake us as a nation, we will not change. I know something will happen one day, I only pray it is not as devastating as I think I would.

I am guessing your answer will be no, and why would that be? Because YOU did not elect a leader, but probably a tout, and are just reaping the consequences of doing that.

The moral of this really is STOP VOTING FOR TOUTS and look for LEADERs to vote for. None, I repeat NONE of those in office today magically morphed into touts AFTER they assumed office. Many of them were touts and theifs to begin with. You ought to ask why you even allowed such monsters to get into high office in the first place.

The power is in the hands of the people. It is up to you, and everyone else there to decide whether you will allow the same crop of monsters continue to represent you, and Nigeria, or if you are done with celebrating thiefs and mor0ns.
Poeple like Kobojunkie are the real problem of Nigeria. They go around in total hypocrisy trying to deceive others that they are saints and yet they are the worst of criminals and barbarians.

So tell me who you know in Nigeria that posseses the qualities in the list that was posted. Or show me one Nigerian politician, past or present that is not a tout. I hope you are not going to post the name of some I.d1iots you support.

I can stand corrupt people but I can't stand hypocrites!
PoliticsRe: Why Would ACN Spit On Mko's Name With Paid "Student Demonstration's" by edicolove: 12:16am On Jun 02, 2012
The moment I saw those students blocking the third mainland bridge, I knew a line had been crossed by the ACN group. It was one journey too far. I knew something had been altered in the SW forever and the results will begin to show pretty soon. Whether that is a good thing or a bad thing for the rest of Nigerian time will tell. But I do have a feeling that ultimately, it will be a good thing. Most notably, it has seriously split the Yoruba into 2 in a negative way. Many Yoruba folks like demdem, Dayokano, Eko Ile, etc always come here with their propaganda that ACN is in total control of the SW but the last election and even the recent local gov election in Lagos says otherwise. Ogun and Oyo are seriously split and Ondo is totally on their own. But this latest desecration of MKO has taken it to a whole new level. On my facebook page, there has been a serious war between yoruba folks since 29 May! People from other tribes just stand back and watch the drama.

Tinubu has only succeeded in dividing the Yoruba people in such a way as have never been seen. All for his personal quest for power. Like the poster wrote, Abiola was used as a basis for canvassing for votes by these same ACN folks. The same way Awo was used to canvass for votes. So why turn around to rubbish their names? Tinubu thinks the only way he can become Yoruba leader is to spit on the graves of Awo and MKO and some of you young folks here are joining him. Its a shame.

First, it confirms to the whole Nigeria that you can never trust a Yoruba man. They will always betray you for a bowl of Gbegiri.

Secondly, it has opened the eyes of other Nigerians that the Yorubas will not be so crucial in the next election because they are at each other's throat trying to justle for power. They have already started suffering the pain as they have been totally sidelined so far from the present political arrangement in the country. Now they have added the last straw.

djustice: djustice:

God will punish you and your generations for the nonsense you wrote above.

I have always known that u and ur wretched lineage are doomed. Miserable monkey.

[size=16pt]Iran oloshi ni iwo ati gbogbo iran e. If anybody in your lineage can achieve a thousandth of what I or anyone before me in my lineage have achieved in our lifetimes, it would last your unfortunate family several lifetimes. Consider yourself fortunate to be exchanging words with the likes of me on this forum. Wretched soul that you are. Your only source of sustenance is obviously the peanuts that the murderers of a proud Yoruba heritage can give you. All the bastards of the House of Oduduwa have unfortunately grown up at the same time, and that is what is giving us problems now. But we will overcome you lot, as we have always done throughout our history. "Tinubu", a drug addled conman who is so ashamed of his own ancestry that he refused to attend his own mother's funeral is your champion. O ma se o!!
[/size]

May you work and lay up for others to eat

Back to sender. u will definately not reap the fruits of ur labour over ur kids.

[size=18pt]Have others not already begun to eat what you're working for here? Did Fashola not send his father abroad recently for medical treatment? Did Tinubu not go abroad recently for medical treatment? Oloshi, won ti je e mo aye tan! I have already started reaping the fruits of giving my children the benefit of an excellent education through the sweat of my brows. Awa kan ti njeun omo already...kini iwo mo?[/size]


(that is what Tinubu your leader is ultimately doing, just watch).

ur opinion. Yorubas arent daft like u. we know how to seperate the wheat from the [size=14pt]shaft[/size]

[size=16pt]Which shaft? The shaft that Tinubu and his houseboy, Fashola continually violate your rectum withhuh Illiterate jati jati that's calling someone daft. Who's daft now?
[/size]


You think God is deceived or mocked by your constantly repeated lies?

List my lies not, failure to do so suggests to me that u are a bastard.

"The truth of the matter is the wife of Awo seems to have found a new found love with the killers from the killer party (PDP). These killers arent wanted by the yoruba People and anyone found mixing with them is treated like a leper. Infact, some Awolowo's children are known to be fraternising with PDP.
Those mama is now mixing with are the likes of Oyinlola, Daniels, Bode george, Akala, omisores and the Adedibu clan etc. these are the killers we are reffering to.
Its not too late for mama to re-trace her steps and key in to the vision of the yoruba race.
besides this gat nothing to do with the love the Yorubas still has with the late sage, Awolowo himself"


[size=16pt]There are many other of your lies, but let's start with the one above. You insult the memory of Awolowo by insulting the woman he loved ALL his life. You are a disgrace to your primitive village. You refer to the likes of Oyinlola, Daniels, Bode George, Akala, Omisore and Adedibu as killers, when in fact, all the murders they are accused unfairly of, were committed by your insane drug addict of a leader, Bola Tinubu. Finally, who appointed you or your gang leaders as speakers for the Yoruba race? Any small thing, you will be there frothing at the mouth..."Yoruba race this, Yoruba race that". Who are you to speak for ushuh Do you even know anything about our journey so far? Obviously not, since your stupidity shines stubbornly through any light we try to shine into your dark, woolly mind!
[/size]

You think we don't know that Tinubu killed Bola Ige because of his designs on Yoruba leadership?

Omisore and Co who won his senatorial seat from jail definitely know who killed Bola Ige

[size=16pt]Yes he does. Bola Tinubu.[/size]


You think we don't know who killed Funsho Williams?

[size=16pt]Obanikoro who was the direct beneficiary from the death of this great Engineer knows better. Refer to him abegiii[/size]

Ode, oponu ni iwo ati awon irandiran e, if you cannot see that Bola Tinubu signed the concession for the N150m per day Lekki-Epe expressway, and realising that PDP would win if they presented Funso Williams, as it appeared they would, killed him to protect that contract. Omo-odo awon alapata. Apaayan! You think we don't know the late Saka Saula's role in that murder? Or we don't know who Saka Saula was working for? Or that he was about to squeal because they failed to give him LAGBUS that they promised him, before they decided to kill him too to silence him? God is not mocked, I tell you!


The day of reckoning is coming, and it may come sooner than you think. That day will be a day of public and permanent disgrace and consignment to ignominy for the likes of Yekini Amoda Ogunlere aka Bola Tinubu, Tunde Raji Fashola, and all the other co-travellers in ACN who have been trying to kill the memories of our heroes in Yorubaland. Awon omo akotileta gbogbo! Awon omo tio niran!

If they have done any evil i join in the prayers that may the day of reckoning come earnesting over them all. i hold brief for no one whatsoever, iwo Omo Ale apaniyan PDP oloshi yi

[size=16pt]You hold no briefhuh Ha hahaha...don't make me laugh joor. Who is fooling who? As you are partaking in the ill-gotten gains of their tyranny, may you also partake in the retribution that will soon befall them and theirs. It is inevitable. It will happen. When is what we don't know yet, since we are not God.[/size]
