As much as I pity Nmandi Kanu, e get as the matter be .

You were arrested on TERRORISM charges , granted bail and then YOU JUMP BAIL and flee the country.

E get as e be .

Sentiments aside Biafra can only be achieved politically .

Read up on how Ireland , and the Basque region in Spain got to where they are today, they all had militant arms and wreaked a lot of havoc . It wasn't until they sought political solution that they got tangible results .

April 10,1994 , a Sunday.

An unforgettable day for me ! I was just 14 and in SS 1, went to watch the match in Gowon Estate, only the come back home to the news of my father's death .

Dad , I wish you were here , mum passed 25 years after you it wasn't easy but she raised us well .

I have become an accountant and an auditor just like you .

Mum said you always wanted twins, well my wife gave birth to twin girls .

No Mike Tyson , Lewis Hamilton

All these countries are where Nigeria was in the 70's through to Abacha era.

They claim to want to solve democratic corruption and all but end up being worse .

Honestly we should just be recolonised.

Nigeria has total air superiority over Niger,Mali and Burkinafaso combined, the only thing i fear is the refugee crisis that will spill into Nigeria ; that is something we cannot handle , it's like waging war against Northern Nigeria .

Well at least he is recruiting some of his critics

We Naija peeps can be funny , when the draws were made , no-one thought we will make it out of this group, we have ended up qualifying without loosing a match . There are no excuses in the world cup, we beat Australia fair and square.

As per today's match , which do you prefer: we play well and loose or we play badly and win or draw?

I should ride bicycle from Gowon Estate to Yaba and back everyday ? No be die be that ?

Can Waldrum be allowed to coach the Super Eagles ?

Shut up sir! You saw nothing .

We are coming. This is just sit at home and you are all complaining.

We will soon shift gear. Every saboteurs in our land must be eliminated. [nairaland MODs are not doing well i swear ! Comments like this should be forwarded to the DSS ! Imagine ! threatening mass murder ]

[Yes, but the smallest prekeed japanese brain is much more bigger than your preek, Massive Foreign Direct Investment for Akwa Ibom ]

Finally ...a president with balls,with this move and Dangote's expected supply in July, Naira should gain with USD by at least 100Naira

Gambian Mangoose

And Seun is tolerating all these on Nairaland ?

Nigeria is more divided than the civil war era. We should just split and go our diffrent ways .

Salako who made this known in a statement issued on Sunday described the Rhodes-Vivour as characterless, adding that he would have messed up Lagos and set its progress back by 10 years if he had won.

Olukayode Ezekiel Salako, a former Lagos State Chairman of Labour Party, has stated that Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, the governorship candidate of the party in the 2023 election, ran his campaign “like a sadist and a miserable schoolboy in politics”.

Salako who made this known in a statement issued on Sunday described the Rhodes-Vivour as characterless, adding that he would have messed up Lagos and set its progress back by 10 years if he had won.
He said all of them in the party were committed and passionately involved when the party won the presidential election in Lagos State on February 25.

He, however, noted that on March 18, it was more of only Rhodes-Vivour, “his #EndSARS/few Obidient people and the emergency friends he imported from abroad at thetaile end of the project”.

According to the statement, Rhides-Vivour treated the state executive councilo of the party with disdain and was overtly irritated by anything that had to with Salako and Yoruba people in the party.

The statement reads in part, "Immediately I gave him the ticket free of charge, without negotiating, or charging him to give me anything, he started misbehaving, and making unhidden/uncultured moves to push me aside from his project.

"I had thought I would give him the ticket, and the project would be our project. I had thought we would run things together to achieve the success together. My avowed mission then was to win Lagos for Labour Party, so that I can make a name for myself as the State Chairman.

"I didn't know much about him. I didn't even bother to know. Badly enough, I didn't even know he couldn't write/speak the language of the state he wants to govern. He hid his nature from me.

"I didn't even know he has a popular Ibo name and speaks only Ibo language fluently. I only knew that his wife and mother are Ibos, which to me, would even make our party to get good votes from the Ibo population in the election.

"But, immediately he got the ticket, he started running things all alone with his EndSARS people and some Obidient movement allies. He sidelined almost all the Yorubas and prominent leaders and elders on the platform and suddenly became purely Ibo inclined.

"Nothing Yoruba was ever attractive to him again. He stopped listening to me, or anybody in the party - Not even the elders and leaders I reported him to on few occasions.

He eventually did away with me. And, when I reported him to the elders and leaders in our party the first time, hear what he rudely said to me, his State Chairman, as at the time: 'I am so mad at you right now Mr. Salako. Am I owing you anything, or sharing your wife with you?
"’Do you think I don't have a mind of my own, when I decided I want to come out to be governor. You can't be sounding like a godfather in my life on this project. I don't need a godfather, or anybody to keep telling me what to do. I have a mind of my own.

"’Please, tell me. If I am owing you anything, I will pay you. Am I owing you anything, or what?! I am so mad at you right now. Am I sharing your wife with you, or owing you and your wife anything?

"’Or, is there any secret thing we both did together? If there is any, please, you can say it here now and bla! bla!! bla!!! ...'

"This response was openly in the presence of all the leaders and elders that were present at the meeting on that fateful day.

"The chairman of the leaders/elders forum of our party then, who presided over the meeting that day, Chief Sumbo Onitiri, also eventually saw what I saw about him/the party in the course of the project, and backed out at the dying minute with disappointment. He is now accidentally a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state.

"Salvador, who is the apex leader of the party in the state, also backed out along with many other prominent stakeholders, including many of the LGA/LCDA Chairmen of the party.

"I also stayed on my own throughout the period and voted for Babajide Sanwo-Olu to continue to run Lagos State as progressively peaceful as he has been running it over the last 3 years. Throughout my stay in office as the State Chairman of the party, vindictively he never got my office involved in anything; gave me anything, or did anything with me.

"I got no 'shishi' or any encouragement to run my office, or anything as at the period. I was completely sidelined. All he was doing was working with my detractors for me to be removed as the State Chairman of the party, and he and his very bitchy deputy, Princess Abiodun Oyefusi.

"Eventually got me removed about 1 month and few days to the February 25 presidential/national assembly election with the help of Dayo Ekong, the current 'Margaret Thatcher' caretaker chairman of the party in the state (which I nominated by myself to take over from me, because of my sincere love for her and the value I built for what we shared when I was in office) and Sam Okpala, the insatiable and domineering state secretary of the party.

"Sam Okpala feels he owns the party. The party is his personal property. And so, he must be the one in control, or else, he would do anything to orchestrate your removal through his Abuja connection.

"What was my offence?! Because, I reported him to the leaders in the party to tell him to do the right thing with the party, which he never did. All I was asking the governorship candidate of my party to do was to do the right thing with the party so that the party also can do the right thing with his project.

"He told all of us to our face that he didn't trust us. He said we should stay away from his project. He said he had his own people he wanted to use to run his election, and we all simply obeyed. He didn't want to be a 'godson' to Salako, his state chairman, but all along, Chief Bode George, the leader of the PDP in the state and his wife, were all he was listening to, and not anybody else in the Labour Party in the state.”

He continued, "He simply lost the election to Babajide Sanwo-Olu. That margin of win by Sanwo-Olu wouldn't have been that geometrically exponential if all of us had been involved.

"Violence, or no violence on March 18, there was no way he would have won the ruling party in the state, because almost about 70% of all the prominent field work stakeholders in the party, were out of his project, including me, the man who led the team that built the political structures of the party in the state.

"When Labour Party won the presidential election in Lagos State on February 25, all of us in the party were committedly and passionately involved. But, on March 18, it was more of only him; his EndSARS/few Obidient people and the emergency friends he imported from abroad at the tale end of the project.

"God is not stupid! He does not reward betrayals; habitual ungratefulness; operational arrogance, self-centeredness, and bad leadership character with 'holy' greatness.

"With what I know about him, he would have simply come to mess up Lagos, and set its progress 10 years behind. That guy is characterless! Honestly, the person who trained him didn't do a good job.

"He is so mannerless, mentally arrogant, proud, full of himself, very deceptive, self-centered, childish; mean-hearted, unforgiving, operationally vindictive and immature in almost everything.”

He said he made a mistake by working for Rhodes-Vivour to be the governorship candidate of the party but that God “corrected the mistake”.

"I could remember that one of the aspirants offered to give me 30 million naira and a brand-new Jeep car for him to get the ticket, during the period of the substitution primary election.

"I refused and insisted on him because I thought the only way my party could win Lagos was to use a youth/or a middle-aged person, who could be so attractive enough to the electorate in the state,” Salako

No sane child will not come out in his father's defence. All of you insulting him will do the same .
Everybody pretending they never knew tribalism has always been embedded in Nigerian fabric .

Even the tribe crying wolf is the most tribalistic of all .

I voted Obi but make no mistake, the more you shout LAGOS IS NO MAN'S LAND . The more you awaken the yoruba consciousness in us .

This guy is a joker !
I voted Obi for president . However I must admit that this clamour for GRV to govern Lagos is totally uncalled for .HE HAS ABSOLUTELY NO EXPERIENCE ! YOU JUST DONT WAKE UP 12 MONTHS AGO AND DECIDE TO BECOME GOVERNOR . HE CANT EVEN SPEAK YORUBA !

Let's put Sanwoolu aside for a second and assume he is out of the race to become governor.

You mean there are candidates like DOHERTY , BRAITHWAITE and you will still vote GRV ?

Let's not vote incompetent people simply because we want to do away with this government.

Let's be objective .

Buhari just fed Emefiele to the wolves

[ If you Igbo peeps can use the same anger, bile, hate & vitriolic ways to follow your leaders, I am sure that zone would have improved a lot by now..... but they are more interested in other people's issues. Their own Charity doesn't have a home.]

Congratulations Adeleke and congratulations to people of Osun state.

Shame on Tinubu Urchins being very stupid to be angry that a stranger won Election in Lagos.
This is even as a Yoruba woman won Abuja election against Gbagi people indigenous to Abuja. Tinubu Urchins are the worst set of humans in Nigeria. Very myopic and very tribalistic. Majority of them have hardly moved an inch out of Lagos. Very shameless pushing tribal rhetorics to every single thing that happen in the country.

At a time in the world when an Indian can be the prime minister of england, Tinubu Urchins will never learn any good thing aside tribalism.
They have been doing everything possible to derail Obidient movement as a tribal movement but failed in the election and resorted to intimidation and rigging.

Tinubu Urchins are the biggest threat to democracy in Nigeria but reasonable people wether Igbo, Hausa or Yoruba are not interested in their foolishness. Tinubu Urchins are a big shame of people. They are found in every tribe in Nigeria.[/quote]

[On the contrary, GRV is the one shitt8ng in his pants , he knows he must win this or else its a return ticket back to political oblivion.....Unfortunately he wont win. ]

Sanwolu shytting in his pants already

Let's see how Thieeeefnubu will pad this protest votes against the robbery of 25th February[/quote]

You guys want to dominate everywhere yet when things don't go your way you play the victim card .

I am just disappointed , i voted Obi but you guys are making me regret with these tribal sentiments here and there .

Imagine a friend saying " we don win Lagos , na Ogun remain for us to conquer , na we go chop all of una " as if Yoruba did not also vote Obi .

Is everything well at home ? ]Nice

Same way inec son and tinubu children will die and those who because of tribalism force tinubu on us

I'm from Edo state..Tinubu will never become the president
Tinubu didn't get 25 percent from Edo, rivers, lagos, Benue, akwa ibom and so many other states
Inec think we are fools

Every sane Nigeria should look at this and read a meaning to it
1) Tinubu political party and administration is ruling but he was unable to win Abuja where them sit down put
2) his own state of origin osun. Even a twelve year old will win thier own state yet he was unable to win

3) all development in lagos is attributed to Tinubu and he is regarded as the father of lagos yet he was unable to win

Nigerians should put on thier conscience and see that tinubu was rejected completely by Nigerians

If you can't handover your daughter or sister to a man who is old and sick with dementia, who is not mentally and physically strong. Someone not aware of his environment

But you supported the same man to head over 220 million Nigerians at this critical time of our nation suitation then may you and your children know no peace[/quote]

I am voting Sanwoolu for Governor o ! Continuity .

Unfortunately Tinubu has won this election ,he has won the South West and North West and he plucking 25% in majority of the states except the South east .

To early to start rejoicing we've heard nothing from the North . Even in Lagos nothing has been heard from Agege, Mushin and others.
The North always cooks something .
Won't rejoice till I've heard from these places

[You have spoken well but this currency issue wont affect People like Tinubu or Atiku,people should come out enmasse and vote and say no to vote buying . ]

If meffy will do one good thing, it should be to ensure that the deadline remains. Even if he is to extend it, it shouldn't be more than a 2 week extension I.e. Feb 14 there about.

Under no circumstance should the present naira notes be available during the General elections.

If anyone thinks the senate is asking for an extension because they love Nigerians, that person must be joking. Their one and only reason for whining is because it will 'cut their ticket' which is vote buying.

Every well meaning Nigerian should support meffy. Take your old naira notes to the bank and lodge it in.

It would be tough to transact initially, but we will adjust in a month or two. Meanwhile vote buying would reduce significantly, which will ensure that BAT and his band of urchins would have been dealt a heavy blow on election day, and sent to the rubbish bin of infamous history.[/quote]

Congratulations to him .
He won't survive the next general elections though.
Labour Party will push him out .
