It is not just the goals for Oshoala, it is the skill and brilliance of her goals.

this thread belongs to sectarian and tribalistic section, and should not be on frontpage.

Naive decision by Ribadu, i hope it works for him at the long run.

Ribadu is a dedicated and smart young man.

But truth be told, i always sense naiveity in him, even though i couldnt place it.

I can see smoke chimney Prof Mowete .


Kudos to the student. Nostalgic feeling

As far as i am concerned, this defection is still a rumour.

Premium times ? Name of PDP executives who said he has registered in PDP could not be mentioned? Phone numbers of Ribadu and his media assistant could not be reached? .


I have a feeling the press is being used in the drive to stampede him in joining PDP.


Ribadu needs to come out and declare for PDP, then it becomes a factual news.


Rumours like Patrick Utomi dumps APC declares for PDP was in the airwaves at a point in time and was proven to be false later.

emmydeep: Why is APC's Lagos state expecting money from the PDP led FG? Don't they receive their monthly allocation?

Honestly, APC, FASHOLA AND LAGOS STATE WON'T SEIZE TO AMAZE ME. The hate against GEJ and other part of south by these APC EVIL SPIRITS is simple unreasonable. Fashola and co are really iredeemable.

Lagos that their IGR is worth trillions ZILLIONS is complaining of fund.

I wonder why Fashola have joined those educated illitrate touts of APC.

Point of correction

May be it is still on the high sea

FG sets up committee for set up sake. The committees report always gather dust somewhere .

I hope Nigerian youths can see through the facade.

I believe it is a good development, if it is properly sited. Many developing areas have witnessed population boom , i believe those areas should be identified, and polling units created there

OrlandoOwoh: If anything debars Lie Muhammed from being in Osun State, it should also debar Obanikoro whose state, Lagos, doesn't have boundries with Osun.

May be because Obanikoro is minister of defence for electoral manipulation.

Sincere9gerian: APC e-warrior, hating since 1805

Is it not the truth? or were you born yesterday?.

The conference even shyed away from key issues and is still banking on a technical committee to make decisions for them, the talk show looks like the usual jamboree.

Several Committee reports are gathering dust in GEJ's locker.

Similar 2005 national conference also ended "successfully". Much ado about nothing

porka: Are you planning more bombs?

What is the 'doomday' threat about?

The arm of the law is very long by the way.

Get behind me, you dunce !

Like i said sometimes ago Accord is stronger than PDP in oyo state, and i expect PDP to also gear up close to election. I am sure Ajimobi of APC will prefer two strong opposition candidates rather than one strong opposition candidate.

atlwireles: Ms Ogar noted that there has been no bombings since the apc won in Edo and Osun elections.
She said that “we had provided security for Edo and at the end of that election, permit me to say, there was no bomb blast.
“We moved to Ondo and the Labour Party won in Ondo, there was bomb blast. We moved to Anambra; APGA won in Anambra and there was a bomb blast”. She said
She however noted that when they “moved to Ekiti and PDP won in Ekiti, there was a bomb blast” and “thank God we were able to deploy appropriately (in Osun), the results came out, the APC have won and thank God there was no bomb blast”.
Asked if she was insinuating that the opposition party was responsible for the bombings, the DSS spokesperson noted that “we should thank God that since after the Osun elections, there has been no bombings” warning that “it doesn’t mean that there should be a bomb blast after i leave the (channels tv Abuja) studio”.

This statement sought of reaffirms my belief that the current day government is behind the boko haram insurgency for political gains. The woman was unbelievably bigoted and reeked of partisanship.

The doomday is near for those who wants to ruin the country for their selfish motive.

psucc: Tell your Gov to please pay May 2014 salary before their jamboree.

I don't give a damn.

Just that he easily forgets. Uduaghan cautioned him once that the people are hungry and we really are.

So he has not paid May salary in middle of August.

BishopMagic: You are obviously posting from somewhere in Osun. Buhari is by far the most hated politician in the north among Northern politicians and statesmen. No single one trusts him and they will not give him their backing. This is why he(Buhari) formed his own party, the CPC out of the regional ANPP.

Only misguided and easily manipulated almajiris support him.

11 million "almajiris" northern votes for the most hated politician in the north among northern politician.


Such kind of hate must be prolific.

BishopMagic: [s]Anybody with any experience in Management will tell you that Technical experience is not always the key to Managerial success.

You need an individual who is a team leader who is willing to lead and listen to his own team.

This is why most Nigerians prefer Abokis as head in any organization since they know they don't know but are willing to give their ear and support to those who know to see to it that they succeed.

BTW, how does Fascist Fash compare to GEJ? GEJ is light years ahead of Fashole[/s]!

High class bull$hit !

BishopMagic: The Plebs also denounced Caeser as a dictator after Brutus' eulogy only to later side by Anthony after his own speech.

Jesus was not a political figure but a political threat to the Sanhedrin that is why they mobolized the crowd to have him killed.

Same thing you Jnajaweeds are doing by trying to force feed Nigerians with that despot, Buhari

Lets not derail the thread, but i think Buhari looks like a political threat to PDP's 15 year empire, as such they have mobilised mobs like you to scream supporter of APC everywhere to deface him PDP boasted some years back , they will rule for at least 60 years, now they have a party threatening their empire.

BishopMagic: Most times, over qualified candidates never ever make good leaders. You need someone who is knowledegable but willing to work and take advice from smarter people.
BTW Fashola or any of your boko broom sweepers is no where comparable to GEJ when it comes to leadership, patience and tolerance and that is what Nigerians need and not some fascist bigot operating on fiat.

What makes a candidate overqualified? It must be people who reason like you who picked Barnabas ahead of Jesus

BishopMagic: Jonathan is the better candidate as having satisfied all provisions at the polls.

That is what democracy is all about, abi?

Democracy once failed in the bible.

Jesus or Barnabus ? Pontius Pilate asked the people.

The people picked Barnabas the criminal. Was Barnabas a better man than Jesus.

BishopMagic: Jonathan is the better candidate as having satisfied all provisions at the polls.

That is what democracy is all about, abi?

I dont get what you are yapping about?

In simpler language a candidate who is more qualified( knowlege, ability to perform e.t.c ) might perform poorly at the polls than a less qualified candidate . assuming both are fielded on the same platform. That is one of the drawbacks of democracy, especially in a setup like Nigeria where sentiments richly guide the choice of the majority of electorates.

Lordlexyy: A third world country surely don't appreciate the essence of freedom. What is shelter, cloth, money and other free gifts from gov't when your personal freedom is subjected? What were those free this, free that when Libyans were constantly living in terror? Libyans didn't have a say of their own. Gaddaffis men, sons, relatives and aids were running everything while Libyans were constantly being monitored against making any remark on the head of state. It was hell in Libya. They were practically living in a cage without the right to make contributions or express themselves. Life is not all about houses, cars, free medical or school. Life is about expression and freedom of association. We shouldn't become too conscious of material things against our personal rights and opinions. It's even on record that Ghadafi was a major sponsor of Islamic terrorists. Those were among some of the reasons he was toppled. Like every other sectarian upheaval definitely, his loyalists who were thrusted out would want to farment trouble hence the skirmashes in Libya. Libyans deserve times ten(10) what Ghadafi was offering considering their population and the interest accrue to their oil. For those who don't know, it was in Ghadafis' plan to rule and Islamised Africa funding several terrorist arms. Ghadafi was like an over spoilt child with too much money to throw around without caution. The west saw into his threat and did the needful. Hopefuly, Libyans will bounce back stronger than before from this jihadist.

You have a point, but it will be difficult to convince most Nigerians. Human wants are insatiable, the day human has all the freedom he can get,but lacks basic needs of life, the freedom is absolutely worthless, and when he has abundantly all the basic needs of life, but little or no freedom, Liberty looks like the most expensive thing in the world..


"Give us Liberty or we die" is what Libyans echoed through the revolution.

SW will get from subsistence farm products and neigboring benin republic. In fact, currently lots of imported frozen foods, rice, veg. oil e.t.c are smuggled in from benin republic

BishopMagic: wat?

Are you challenging that statement ?

Fashola vs Jonathan OR Buhari vs Jonathan. In an election across Nigeria, Who will garner more votes against jonathan ?

That is a lie. No one from PDP apart from Omisore had much electoral value. Omisore is an Ife man, a section of the state that had high number of voters. A better candidate does not necessarily translate to high electoral value.

Fayemi's loss was more of protest vote than love of stomach infrastructure. If i should put a weight to it, it will goes thus

1. Protest vote = 50% (perceived high tuition of State university , teachers test resistance, late implemetation of 27.5%
increase in teachers wage, judiciary workers grudge, civil servants disgruntled, perceived high
taxation, failure to pay students bursary, opposition parties propaganda against incumbent, Crack
within party spearheaded by bamidele, failure of the masses to connect with the governors
tushed mien.)

2. Stomach Infrastructure = 30% ( 2 days before election, 30,000 bags of rice were distributed to those who showed
their voters card by Fayose. That in no small means influenced the election,APC found
it difficult to react or reacted late, I have seen a picture showing the Governor and his
wife dishing cooked rice to old women, i later found out the picture was taken since 2013
during a party with old elderly women in a celebration. Had Fayemi and his party
responded efficiently and timely enough like APC in osun did, the result might be
different.)

3. Federal might / Tsunami = 20% over 40,000 military men deployed, ,killing and disruption of APC;s rally 5 days to
election which included teargassing the governor could have scared some electorates,
arrest of APC leaders on the eve of election taking into cognisance that last minute
mobilisation by party leaders influences the way election goes, I likened such last
minute mobilisation to last minute revision students make before going in to an
exam hall, so if you seize the reading materials,the result is as good as your
guess.....

He could make others laugh, but he was sad and depressed....... what an irony !

My exact thoughts, It is important not to let the matter slide, simply because they won. It is a very shameful and brutal precedence, that must be stopped before the 2015 elections.

These kind of writers were missing when the heavy protest for school reversal was at its peak, how come they suddenly found their pen?


It is always difficult for the democratic elected govt to fail to listen to the voice of the masses, especially when the political class has highly politicised it, Why the writer's view is right, she is not politically correct , if you doubt me take a sample or opinion poll across spectrum of nigerians.


One of the major reasons Fayemi lost in Ekiti was that he increased school fees to over 100,000 naira in Ekiti state university, Infact , it was the youths in ekiti state that dealt him the most serious blow, little wonder his loss margin in the state capital was the most catastrophic. and guess what, i can place a bet that Fayose will reverse the cost, or at best reduce it drastically once he is sworn in, and the majority of the people will hail him as the "man of the people".

XKZ: It's not as simple as you guys are trying to make it. Land valuation has a subjective aspect. It is common to see valuer for opposing sides in litigation come up with widely varying property values. Similarly, a lot of banks in Nigeria have got their fingers burnt by relying on valuation reports.
Another challenge (at least in the Nigerian case) is agreeing on who is an 'independent valuer'. Will Lagos State accept a firm with majority Hausa, Igbo or Ijaw partners as 'independent'? Or will the FG accept a Lagos based firm (which most likely has done business with LASG previously) as independent? Will LASG accept one that has business dealings with FG? Should they take the average of several independent valuations ☺?

But whatever the case NPA is within It's rights to request to verify It's partners' claims. We should always try to encourage due diligence in government agencies.

It seems odd to me though that an independent valuation wasn't done much much earlier ie before land acquisition (except if NPA was not involved at the inception), at this stage the objectivity of the process will suffer.
I also find it odd that LASG is putting up the land as It's contribution since usually Nigerian governments (both state and federal) just appropriate land for their projects and only pay the residents compensation for improvements on the land and cash crops.

Well, i have no problem with the FG trying to verify its partners claim, but the long and typical fruitless process the FG takes in doing most of its things. From the report they have formed committees, and we all know how bureaucratic fruitless committees are their trademark, this will take forever, and at the end nothing gets done . Where are the 4 greenfield refineries promised by the fed. govt. since 2011? Still @ committee stage i guess.



I cant get to barb your hair when you are not there, the FG a partner to the project is expected to know what each partner is bringing to the table from the outset, i have absolute doubt about the sincerity and commitment of the FG to the success of the project.

On

Cotton: It sure is! That comes to about 3.75m per plot (as per my rough calculation using figures earlier provided in the thread).

And what is expensive about a 3.75 million per plot land in Lagos?
