Honestly I didn't quite understand what the comparism was about. When has Soyinka become the standard reference point for the scholarly prowess or otherwise of anyone

These jonaTANians are too damn basic honestly. They couldn't stick anything to the man for two days besides how long it took for him to be selected, and now this!!

Their propaganda machinery has been overheating since Buhari's emergence and they got their gaskets blown after Osinbajo was selected as his running mate!

Whatever mud they throw is already expected anyway.

#Buhari/Osinbajo till 2023.

How some people reason eludes me. He is claiming Soyinka is now the benchmark for early education, what a fallacy !!!!

Jimmychoo:
I thought I have written what he/she should have written. Anyways, whatever errors he made does not matter here as long as he has passed the message. TRhank u for the correction.

Are you his brother? It matters oooo, he was the one forming communication skill expert.

If he could identify a speech that is incoherent, but could not see the big blunder in his own sentence with just 4 words, he needs to hide his head in a cave.

All these dry jokes on Amaechi that makes me always forget to laugh.


Amaechi will be a strong man in the 8th republic................

SMH You are beyond redemption. Continuuuuuuu

I cant help you......... i sincerely cant.

Read my submission bro, my statement (Buhari needs to win....) is not confirmatory but in support of your 'IF'

I am clear enough, or may be you dont understand what simple majority means.


Let me state it again.. what is needed (1) at least 25% of votes in 24 states and FCT

(2) Simple majority. (highest number of votes between/among contestants)


No one gives a hoot about number of states won.

Gboliwe:
I know Fela Durotoye and the other motivational speakers drum it into my head that "Nothing is Impossible". I guess they never considered this level of belief! Buhari win 5 states and it translates to a simple majority blablabla? Chai! I must tap into this level of blind mumu faith!

His Katsina state, he won't even win handsdown not to talk of other states.

@topic, Bakare was a G.O, a position higher than Yemi's in Nigeria's christendom, he was an Akokite according to the story, just like your Yemi, yet we gave him a seat and he is still wondering till today what hit him. We will do same to this man, this Pastor who is already tampering with his date of birth. Personally, I am unmoved!

You are turning logic on his head, i gave a hypothetical scenario.,,,,,,i guess it is a problem with comprehension for you.

In Nigeria, what is really paramount is not the number of states you won in, but the total votes you get. It is even possible for your Candidate A to win in more states than candidate B , and Candidate B will be declared by virtue of higher number of votes earned.

tomakint:
Thank God you are not proud and ignorant so emiye's voice, *Buhari needs to win 5 States and secure 25% of votes in the remaining States to win* what a permutation

google conditional statement and understand what it means.

I said "IF" ,

What that means is should he get at least "25% of votes in 24 states, and the highest number of total votes. the number of states he won will be irrelevant, even if its just 5 states.

This is Nigeria not USA.

Disclaimer:
This speech lack coherent.

your grammar sef


you mean coherence ?

tomakint:
Really? Now this gat me lolin hard don't be surprised that Buhari may likely win 12 States again nothing has changed on Buhari of 2011 and now but before you start calling me names, listen, Buhari needs to win 21 States outrightly to be declared the WINNER, the question now is, how possible is this for Buhari going by the current trend!

You are quite ignorant and proud. .......


To be declared winner, you need a simple majority votes, and at least 25% of votes in 24 states and FCT.
He does not need to win in 21 states. Infact if he wins in 5 states only and fulfil the requirements above, he will be declared by INEC.


In 2011, Buhari was contesting on a platform with no single councillor, this is 2014.

tomakint:
How? Do the maths: SS (6 States); SE (5 States); SW (6 States); NC (6 States + FCT); NW (7 States) & NE (6 States) I asked again how many States can Buhari conquer to emerge the winner come Feb. 15, 2015? Just asking........

He won in 12 states in 2011, this time around 18 states are guaranteed. He will get at least 25% in 6 others

donmalcolm21:
The only mantra GMB has is I will fight kworuption but in other sectors he is as daft as a dumbass.

The most important qualities for a leader are integrity, sincerity of purpose and a strong will power.

There are lots of economic advisers and consultants that works with a president as an economic team. What GEJ lacks are the three qualities above.

That is why many committee reports will continue to gather dusts under GEJ, never to be implemented. that is why many corruption cases will not see the end of the tunnel, that is why interest of cabals is usually placed above the interest of the masses.

Here Vanguard Newspapers-

[b]Yemi Osinbajo, 55, is [/b]a Senior Advocate of Nigeria and Senior Partner in the Law firm of Simmons Cooper Partners.

His tertiary education was at the Universityof Lagos and the London School of Economics where he obtained the LLB andLLM degrees respectively.

He was appointed the Lagos State Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice in 1999 and reappointed for a second term in 2003. During the period of his public service, he commenced the Lagos State justice reform project. A prominent feature of that project was the establishment of the Directorate for Citizens’ Rights (DCR) which provides free legal services and legal representation to indigent citizens of the state. This initiative gave a voice to many who would otherwise not have a way to access their rights.

Prior to that appointment, Osinbajo, a Professor of Law, was the Head of Public Law at the Faculty of Law, University of Lagos.

Between 1988 and 1992, he was the Special Adviser to the Attorney-General and Minister of Justice of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. He also served as a staff member of the United Nations and Member of the United Nation’s Secretary General’s Committee of Experts on Conduct and Discipline of UN Peacekeeping personnel around the globe.

He is currently an Ethics Advisor to the Ethics Committee of the African Development Bank and is a non-executive Director of Citibank.Prof. Osinbajo is Co-founder & Board Member Convention on Business Integrity and the Justice Research Institute Ltd. He has also authored several law books.

In 2007, Prof. and his wife Oludolapo founded “The Orderly Society Trust”, a non- governmental organization that is dedicated to the promotion of Christian ethics and orderliness.He is a resident pastor at the Olive Tree House of Prayer for All Nations, Banana Island, a parish of the RCCG.

He lives in Lagos with his wife, Dolapo Osinbajo, who is a grandchild of Obafemi Awolowo with three children.

ok, great then he should be 55 years . I guess Vanguard had done their homework well

Revolution:
Yemi Osinbajo was born in 1957, which makes him 57. Check here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yemi_osinbajo

Thanks, i have been wondering where the claimed 1959 DOB by OP was obtained from, as i checked the reference provided by the OP and could not find it.

Kzinne:
times are different . even the genius himself Wole Soyinka finished his O'levels at 16 and his HSC at 18. He got into GCI in Ibadan at 12. That was 1978. This is 2014. Truth is most people at that time who even finished early in the 70's graduated at age 21 plus. The Schools inspectors then were very strict and could visit your school without notice. These days its possible since the inspectors solicit bribes on a daily basis

Akinwande Oluwole "Wole" Soyinka (Yoruba: Oluwo̩lé S̩óyinká, pronounced "Shoyinka"; born 13 July 1934) is a Nigerian playwright and poet. He was awarded the 1986 Nobel Prize in Literature,[1] the first African to be so honored.
After finishing his course at Government College in 1952, he began studies at University College in Ibadan (1952–54), affiliated with the University of London. He studied English literature, Greek, and Western history. In the year 1953–54, his second and last at University College, Ibadan, Soyinka began work on "Keffi's Birthday Treat", a short radio play for Nigerian Broadcasting Service that was broadcast in July 1954

Your argument is so faulty, i bet there were people younger than Soyinka in Soyinka's class.

Osinbajo is also a genuis in his own right, and there are several popular figures who finished primary school at age 10 at his own generation.

Midegee:
so yu finished O'levels @ 14, cool! *story for the gods tho*..we know Prof Yemi Oshinbajo, sir pls what are you??

What is the biggy about finishing O levels @ 14 years?

If he gained admission to the secondary school @ 10 years .Class 1 to class 5 10-11-12-13-14yrs.


BTW, i had my olevels @ dat age, though i finished a year after.

Adminisher:
So what?. I finished O levels at 14 as well. That is not an issue in western Nigeria. I am almost sure he did not need do A levels.
People must realise that there was a time Nigeria was academically more advanced than now. There was no 6334 education. There was direct entry admission into university from secondary school. Even JAMB started in 1978 I am not sure.

Yes, secondary education was 5 years then, not 6 years as it is now.

deemdeem:

I don't think the battle is still in the SW. Jonathan will steal some votes but Buhari will win it. The goodwill he had then is no longer there. An average SW even from members of his party knows that he has failed.
NC it is.

Yes, with a Lagos SW running mate, the battle ground now moves to the 6 North central states & Abuja. I am so cock sure at least 50% win seals the overall victory.

ProfCorruption:
If APC wins 55% of SW votes, Buhari will be sworn in next year.

It doesnt end in SW, at least 50% must be guaranteed from North central also. Dont forget GEJ won 62% of North central votes the last time.

The battle ground is SW + NC.

Ajimobi will win with simple majority.

His enemies are scattered in 4 cardinal points ( Teslim, Ladoja, Akala, Makinde).

He needs roughly 35-40% of votes, and he will get it, he will also get the required 25% in at least 22 local govt.

I said it immediately after the primaries

emiye:
Election that will be declared void in a matter of days. A court order awaits the process, and a new turmoil will arise in Lagos PDP.

The last has not been heard as to the primaries

brownlord2:
The garbage you put there doesn't make any sense, dunce what makes you think tinubu is better than you or can do things you can't do?

No wonder you buy into the idea or bringing back a 72 years old man as "Change" in 2014, because he is the only one that can effect change or fight kworupshion ( corruption ), idiat, tinubi is no superhuman, was only opportune to have access to power and has held on to it since then, don't be a robot, use your brain, you ain't paying for it.

No more response from me, you can go fucck yourself and kick succkiing tinubu's corckk. idiat

Why are you acting like a rabid dog? Why are you so pained?

Olufemiolaolu:
Pdp govt shd prove their so called competence by finding a lasting solution 2 epiletic power supply in Nigeria, rescuing chibok girls, fighting corrruption, building refineries, finding d 20 billion dollars missing funds. 4 16 good yrs pdp has been in power no changes. I wonder if pdp has a manifesto @ all, how come no electricity plan have suceeded yet, despite billion of dollars unaccounted fund spent on it? Shame on useless pdp dat has ruled 4 16 solid yrs without changes.

Too late, they've got [size=14pt] 8 weeks[/size] left to be voted out

May be PDP needs consultancy job as political adviser to APC, cause i dont understand why they are so concerned about APC's choices

thaoriginator:





I too much like dis lady, I don't know why. Abi na jazz!

Same here, i used to wonder what is biggie abt her sef wey i dey crush.

Until, i realised it was because her smartness was touching a part of me

After the shambolic primaries, I have earlier predicted a court process that will tear these idiots apart. The full realisation of my prophesy is a matter of days

Younger than Sambo, a 61 year old man

We Akokites will support him enmasse.

Donbrig:
Osinbajo is tougher than tough, my uncle who once worked with him under United Nations said he is not a joker when it comes to justice and equality, he doesn't spare his own mother if found guilty of a crime. I think Buhari strongly needs Osinbajo's mountain of experience as long as law and order is concerned, because Buhari is going to be pulling down heavy and mighty political personels if he becomes president. He is getting himself well equiped by nominating a law wizard in the person of Osinbajo. God bless my lovely Nigeria.

Very true, My cousin who is a lawyer has a working relationship with him.

Osibanjo is a very sound man, not a run of the mill SAN.

This guy wike speaks bla bla,......... He talks uncoutly, and should at best be a councillor.

Unibenstudent:
Ur salary must be really high,considering ur determination to lie at all cost without determining if nigeria wiLl die from uur lies.

mikeansy:
APC is in disarray

This is the moment for PDP to move in

Lobby Oshiomole and snatch Edo from APC

Deploy resources and campaign vigorously in Rivers/IMO/Lagos

APC is toast I tell you

They are back to where CPC started

I would even go as far as flirting with Fashola. Tinubu abandon his political son, Jonathan should take Fashola in his wings

You know deliver Lagos or at least stand down and you might be FCT minister in the power sharing government won't be a bad idea

All you have up here is in your head, and that is where it ends.

The APC is in one accord, and Oshiomole and Fashola will rigorously mobilise forces against the clueless master
