DeLaRue: I haven't recovered from the Ekiti election results yet!

I no longer believe the concept of Omoluabi resonates with hungry electorate.

PDP will probably win the next governorship elections in Ondo State. Mimiko/Labour party is finished.

APC needs a lot of money and a popular local candidate to win in the state. Akeredolu can context 10 times, he will not win, as he's simply not a politician. He's in the Fayemi mould.

Yes, Akeredolu is not a typical politician.

Surely Labour party can not come back in 2016 in Ondo state, barring any unforeseen circumstances.

Fayose's understanding of reconcilliation.


I thought he said he is a changed man, he is yet to be sworn in, and he is already acting thus.

texaco1: dis ur analysis na ui own ooo. For the streets it doesn't work tthis way.

Tell me how it works !

My own assertion:
I said roughly 4 out of 5 people you see at the polling booth on the election day can be classified as masses.

I said accord is currently stronger than PDP, but very close to election, PDP will reduce the gap or even override accord.



I have moved away from the analysis of the quality of governance which should be of greater concern to the analysis of who wins or lose election that some of you are always more interested in.

texaco1: hmmm,bros did u read this post very well before posting it?because if u give ajimobi this analysis he will give u a slap. U just knocked him off .ur points shows that he will lose.pls tell me how many of those so called middle class stand in the sun for hours to vote? U said accord is stronger than pdp in oyo state ,where did u get this info from?even the hausa man on the street of ibadan knows that pdp is stronger than accord. How many ppl are defecting to accord and how many to pdp? Bros don't follow air conditioned room politics discussion ,those that decide the fate of elections are in the sun ,drivers,food sellers,mechanics. Politicians don't play with these set of people ,if they like a candidate they can die for him or her.they don't have time for nairaland discussion ,or can u die for ajimobi?

9 months to election is a long time politically, a lot of factors can still come to play,

I can tell you majority of the aggrieved masses at the moment will pick accord at the expense of PDP. the masses make up roughly 80% of the voters, and i acknowledged that in my analysis.

In a 3 horse race, you only need roughly 40% of total votes, it will be a 3 horse race in 2015 in oyo state.

smartchoice: Get off Nairaland your patients are dying at the Ekiti State University Teaching Hospital....or are you this wicked and mean?

I dont know where you are manufacturing details about me from, but i must confess people like you sometimes make me conclude you need to have a low IQ to support PDP. Bros, i have never for once slept in ekiti state , neither am i a med doctor.

smartchoice: From a medical doctor on STRIKE!

What is your point?

Since, some folks are more interested in who wins or lose election than what the candidates will offer to the populace.

In my opinion, Ajimobi has a very good chance of coming back due to some factors, the accord party is currently stronger than PDP in oyo state, that tells me it will be a highly contested 3 horse race in 2015, as the strength of the PDP will increase shortly before the election due to FG might. Ajimobi needs to harness roughly 40% of the total votes. His strength lies with the lower/upper middle class and the big guns which makes up roughly 20% of the electorates. His weakness lies with the "masses" which makes up roughly 80% of the electorates. If he plays his political game tightly , nothing stops him from getting at least 15/20 and 25/80 from the two camps.

Talking about salary ,courtesy of the review of workers salary to the 18,000 naira minimum wage, and other new recruits. the new salary bill of the state is now 4.6 billion naira monthly as against 2 billion + naira of the previous administration(2007-2011), yet allocation from the FG is dwindling to the state(avg of 4 billion/month). Akala could not pay the previous minimum wage , i think 11,500 or thereabout.

Let this discourse be objective as possible.

But why play evil politics?

Why bomb a school to achieve evil ambition ?

kolamilan: hahaha makes me laugh reading your idiotic comment.

It seems you are a one way thinker, i forgive you for your shallow comment

Funny enough, Germany will not win this world cup.

The winner of Argentina vs netherlands owns the brazil 2014 world cup.

Ego clash !



What is the global best practice?

joywendy: okay, e5 black.

Nf3

lets play , e4 on white .

Costa rican team has proven his earlier great performances were not fluke

I think OP is wallowing in foolery, he thinks he knows but he is ignorant.

I absolutely have no problem if you disagree with a policy, but ensure you truly understand the policy you disagree with. It is high worth foolishness to be punching any politician in sight just to feel cool like a newly discovered activist.

In an election period, you claimed you read in a newspaper about a scam by the osun state in the education sector , but you did not deem it fit to take the view of the other side before attacking senselessly, you had the opportunity on your laps to get the other side view, but you blew it up acting immature, in my opinion the other guys did not attack you by saying you made shallow and myopic comments, he was right. Critical reasoning is what i think you lack the most.

Reports has it that the dead soldier was riding a motor bike on BRT lane , only to be crushed by brt bus

HNosegbe: Honestly I'm very disappointed in Adams Oshiomhole. He has shown, with this action, that Nigerian politicians are all the same. Utterly lacking in principle and not standing for anything. It's all about power as far as they're concerned.

He should have gone ahead with the sacking of those incompetent teachers while designing a programme to equip them with some new skills to take care of themselves, maybe start a business or something. But leaving them to continue to "teach" our kids is a recipe for disaster.

Teacher don't teach me nonsense.

You shouldn't really be disappointed, He had no choice than to play the survival game , he was not selected but elected, and dont be surprised that parents with children in public schools will be convinced by evil politicians how the governor is a wicked man for sacking incompetent teachers. The Stockholm syndrome plaguing the populace persists.

HNosegbe: Very disappointing.

So you mean even the teacher that couldn't read her own certificate will be allowed to teach? In the name of politics?

I'm fearful for Nigeria's future.

A big shame.

I guess Lagbaja was not wrong calling us Mumugerians.

We all want positive change, thinking it will come via mystic forces . SMH. Renowned Chike obi recommended a benevolent dictator as the best for Nigeria, he is probably right

Good analysis on super sport does not necessarily translate to good national coach.

It might be a good gamble sha, i learnt he is also an UEFA certified coach

Evergreen123: if osun has really increased their igr and not on paper , y is the governor complaining?
And remove population from this whole thing, population adds to Lagos finance than it removes from it and u know that.
U made it look as if fashola has the responsibility of sharing money to 20m people.

Judging from what you have written up here, it is waste of time trying to educate you

Evergreen123: so, u see its not only him.
But we know states which have told the media that they have the igr to beat and the GDP to be swooned over, y are they still having the same financial problems with those who don't claim to be rich .
Compared to the media flare and anti PDP propaganda of APC, they are underperforming

It is simple common sense, apart from Lagos state , all other states Igr are a fraction of the allocation, and sensible governors have increased the fractions, which i think the state govnr in osun has done.
In your logic, why should Bayelsa state with a budget 70% that of Lagos state be complaining of paucity of funds and dwindling allocation, even with less than 3 million population?

Evergreen123: is his state the only one whose allocation was reduced? which kyn sympathy talk be that?
Its obvious APC likes media that's y u wanted me to believe APC states are heaven on earth but go to those states, u won't be impressed.
And yes, APC states are the most indebted, go figure.
What am saying is that non Lagos SW is not envious.

I have seen other state governors complained, some weeks ago, Bayelsa state governor had a meeting with bayelsa indigenes out of the country sponsored for foreign degrees as the state has failed to service the students with maintenance dues, and many are stranded, and the complaint of the governor was dwindling allocation. For over 8 months, primary school teachers are on strike in Benue state e.t.c But many in their bigoted mind only see what they want to see.

bumdish: [size=16pt]You spoilt your analysis by discrediting Keshi, a man that has achieved what no Nigerian and indeed no African, dead or alive has ever achieved. [/size]

1. Won the African cup as a player and as a coach
2. Been to the world cup as a player and as a coach
3. Won the 2013 African Nations cup with a team that didn't even qualify for the 2012 edition and he won the cup
4. Has coached 3 African teams and qualified 2 to the world cup (Togo, Nigeria)
5. Firm believer in Nigeria premier league (Took a whooping 6 home based players to the 2013 Nations cup and 4 of them moved to Europe immediately after)
6. Firm believer in Nigeria premier league (Took 3 home based players to the 2014 World cup)

You had better wipe your distasteful comments about Keshi immediately. If a white man achieved a fraction of what he did, you people will praise him to high heavens but we will always revile our own. If Clement Westerhof is a good man, Keshi is not a great man, he is a HERO.


<-------Additional comment----------->
OP for your information, in Canada, the annoying assistant Referee that ruled Emenike goal off-side is Canadian. They have over celebrated the man for being selected by FIFA. Since his selection, I can not count the number of interviews he has granted for various TV stations. They even went to his house to interview his family. I come dey wonder, no be assistant Referee he beeee.
If you watch CNN regularly, you will see how CNN has almost built a station on Clint Demsey house. Visited his city, interviewed his brother, sister, brother-in-law...even his grand parents...encouraging and celebrating their own.

But you, you sit there in the corner of your room berating a man we should honor...SHAME ON YOU OP...SHAME ON YOU.

Watch this ESPN series that premiered in May "Inside: U.S. Soccer’s March to Brazil" to see how people appreciate their heroes and inspire the generations ahead

You forgot to add that he was the first African coach to take his team to the second round at the world cup.

alj harem: LOL I don't even know what to say.

@ All yorubas and SWERNERS

Here are facts we MUST face

1. APC and PDP are the SAME THING only that PDP is the devil you know while APC is the DEVIL YOU DON'T KNOW

2. No body evny's Tinubu, Infact he has nothing enviable as he is not taking any of his wealth to Heaven

3. Tinubu has milked the masses and the poverty index of the SW has increased ever since this APC government took over. This is a fact

4. APC government is an elitist government and ALL their policies favour only themselves (APC members) and the rich. The Lagos middle class has disappeared

5. Tinubu has imposed almost all his family members on us, is his family the only family that can rule us ? When we are not monkeys, better that thinking

6. All Lagos state projects and funds have been moved to Tinubu personal account. Why ?

7. Why is Lagos state owning 600 Billion Dollars from the Worldbank within APC government ? Were did all this money go ?

8. Fashola was and is a good man, at least when compared to the rest but he was also fortunate. Lets give others a chance to impact on our state and not only Tinubu's people.

9. He insulted our heritage and kings because they are not bowing to his will, who does that other than a power hunger egocentric idio.t

10. Iyaloja is his daugther that has been closing markets up and down because she wants to sh.it . Is already the worst iyaloja ever in Lagos state

11. His wife Senator Oluremi, what has she done for his senatorial district which covers Makoko and co ? NOTHING

12. What has his inlaws done at reps

13. Tinubu should explain to us why he turned APC to a northern party. When did we become slaves to Fulanis ? When

You need to have watched the convention

Only an idio.t sees all this and will still vote for APC

APC is a boko haram infested party from likes of Ciroma and co and should be fought against.


I mean the idoi,t even insulted awolowo and his family. What a losser

Unsubstantied bullshitt, conjectures, illogical sentiments, half truths.

I dont operate like that. sorry, i dont.

If someone comes to me and tell me you are a mad man, even if i dont like your face, i wont agree, until i put such assertion to test

Evergreen123: If not that PDP won ekiti, would aregbe clear the salary arrears of 4 months within one week?
U ppl can only deceive yourselves.
What about the mighty debts APC governors have brought on their states with little or nothing to show? That's corruption, exactly the same thing u accuse FG and pdp for.
Was Lagos under PDP during tinubus time?
My only problem with the writer is the lies about others envying SW , y not wait for us non Swners to say so other than lying to you.
If u travel out, u won't believe those lies

stop believing every nonsense you are told. Tinubu during his tenure was not a failure especially when you put him in comparism with his contemporaries within those period from PDP. I was in lagos during his tenure(99-07) and i can still recall psp in waste management, millennium schools, power generation thru enron power plant, road rehabilitation and construction e.t.c even BRT in transportation was a concept at the tail end of his tenure, he did this while under political attacks from the PDP centre to frustrate him in other to capture Lagos by do or die.

Some months ago, i read that the Osun state governor stated that allocation to his states has fallen by roughly 40% compared to expectation, such kind of situation surely will affect the state, and will not augur well for projections for the state development agenda. The question is why are states allocation dwindling? I guess the FG incompetency since the rate of crude oil theft is at alarming proportion .

Stop believing lies about APC plunging their states to debts, try to substantiate it with facts and figures.

When SW governors commissions overhead bridges, roads, schools e.t.c and such is reported on nairaland via a thread, you can guess the region of origin of those that will populate such threads with unsavory remarks. Such attitudes depicts envy.

Evergreen123: Is that why he lied that other regions envy these places?
Moreover, I thought u ppl had always deluded yourselves of being developed way back, y asking whether I Was there pre 2010?
Y are u contradicting yourselves?

Envy is a thing of the mind, and people with such mind display it to those on the same strata with them, those above them and those below them.
The intent of the writer was clear, the PDP wants to decimate APC by any conceivable means, and if they can soil Tinubu's image in the eyes of his people, they believe they would be a step closer to achieving their evil aim. The PDP was in charge of most sw states for virtually 8 years (2003-2011), and contributed in no small means to the rot you will find in these states, now some of these bufoons and thugs are staging come back under PDP. Any sane mind will ask, how well have the ACN/APC governors done in 3-4 years? Were they a positive departure to their PDP counterparts within the same time frame?

Evergreen123: I stopped reading when this man said an easterner visited osun and proclaimed.......
Proclaimed what?
Osogbo is just a village with 3G, let me not talk about the rest of osun.
This liar must be untraveled to think that non Lagos SW is developing.
Everything is going down especially the educational sector Who the hell does he think envies ado ekiti, osogbo, akure, Abeokuta? More progressing Cities like owerri, Enugu, pH, calabar, uyo don disappear?
Even kano, Kaduna are far better those slums he is lying about.

The akure he is yabbing is even the most modern of the dungeons.
The more these APC ppl talk, the more I shake head for them.

You said non Lagos SW is not developing,. Were you in Abeokuta or Osogbo Or Ekiti pre ACN Government (that should be before late 2010)? Always put your emotions to test. Emotions and sentiments fails more often than not.

When lies are repeated over and over again, they start sounding like truth to many, except a few who care to challenge it.

So many unsubstantiated and frivolous statements against a man who dare to stand as a face of opposition.


Use your brain people, and understand the motive for the deluge of attack.

oluamid: Hmmmmm. I'm sorry, my own definition of love for the masses has to do with actually doing something tangible and lasting for the masses and not just scratching at the surface. You know, building good roads, schools, providing them with other social amenities and ensuring that they no longer require rice to be dole out to them before they feed.

Well said, but the problem with the masses is that a sizable proportion are suffering from stockholm syndrome, they are terribly gullible, and many people also follow or love parties as if they are supporting a football club.

Until many stop supporting parties as if they are supporting Arsenal or Man U, and decide to put to test how well the candidates of the parties have brought real dividends of democracy, the vicious cycle of underdevelopment continues. Political gimmick or stunts like eating booli on the road , and riding on okada should not be taken seriously by the populace.

It is high time, Government focused on the primary and secondary school education, and divert great funds spent on tertiary education on the primary and secondary education. Tuition fees in tertiary institutions be increased to meet up the required funding.

I have no doubt that the critical point of influence is the primary education followed by the secondary education. Once the nation gets it right there, the result will be obvious in the quality of the citizenry.
