Apart from Lagos, Ondo state is richer than all the other south west states, the only oil producing state in the south west, but it has not lived up to its expectation. Mimiko is a very average governor, no wonder roughly 60% of ondo state electorates reject him at the polls at his second term campaign.

I want to see the man talk extensively , at least a puppet still talks, even if its mouth is controlled by strings

homesteady: Ibadan was fine before oh!! But how come every house in ibadan has rusty roofs??

Ibadan had a head start compared to most other places, then Zinc roofing sheets which is liable to rust was in vogue as compared to aluminum roofing sheets which is in vogue now.

Senator Ngige + Pastor Akabueze (over 8 years commissioner of budget and economic planning in Lagos state)to me are low hanging fruits on a tree of blessing, it is left for the people of anambra to pluck it on November 16

Demoladoc: What is the yoruba word for PHOTOSYNTHESIS?

FOTOSINTESIS

27 years of prison adversity has made him resilient.

He just might clock a century. Live Longer Madiba

Great initiative, i hope the sensible ibos are taking note from the west on how to implement biafran nation.

I believe all Igbos and Anambrarians should see this video and realise the ethnic and political coloration that Peter Obi is using to manipulate people of his state.

Let no One deceive you, Vote Chris Ngige, and say no to Peter Obis puppet of Fidelity Bank

Shine It: I can see UPN winning at least two Yoruba states.

you mean two polling boots in yoruba states ?

Not surprised, since GEJ is using reputable oil thieves like tompolo ,dokubo,... to "secure" our pipelines

I had no slippers !

OMG, for all those who have contributed to surpass the expectations of the fund raising team. May God surpass your heart expectations.

Onosas: According to a source, two buses belonging tothe Oyo State government, popularly known as'Ajumose Shuttle' were used in evacuating Hausa traders out of the market on Friday, as the Yoruba traders refused to leave, waiting for an opportunity to slug it out with their Hausa counterparts

http://m.naij.com/news/44967.html

I doubt if the Hausa-fulani will be fully accepted anymore in that market, and the yoruba people are ready if the hausa traders try nonsense

Seems there was no father figure in that house.

many of those hollywood movies are doing more damage than good to our little ones

Sincere 9gerian: APC will not even come second in the Anambra election.

Bookmarked for future reference

Billyonaire: Not many can survive plane crash, we need to be thankful. Its also noteworthy that he might be suffering Amnesia due to head injuries. I do hope he can be restored.

Regarding politics, it is the business of Tarabans not mine. FULLSTOP!

If Taraba was controlled by APC governor, would you have said the same thing?

Conspiracy theorist.

Some wars are only in some peoples mind, they are sniffing around to detect it,either real or imaginary to say "yes we said it"

His dad was an election rigger, one of the PDP calamities bestowed on the south west, in fact, after he was removed from senate for wrongfully occupying the position, the then equally clueless Ekiti state governor, who also stole the peoples votes installed him as UBEC chairman, only to discover later that SEN. kila was unqualified.

Adefemi Kila is a Nigerian senator who represented the People's Democratic Party (PDP) in Ekiti State. He became a member of the Nigerian Senate in 2007, and his election was annulled in 2009.[1]
Senate career

Adefemi Kila was elected to the National Senate for the Ekiti Central constituency in 2007. He was appointed to the Senate Committee on Works, and was chairman of the sub-committee for projects in the North-Central and South-West regions.[2] In October 2008 he defended the Federal Roads Maintenance Agency in Benue State, blaming problems on poor funding.[3]

In May 2008, he was among four senators on the screening committee who appeared to be delaying the assumption of office by the nominated Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Mrs. Farida Mzamber Waziri.[4]

On June 30, 2009, the Court of Appeal quashed his election and declared the Action Congress candidate, Bode Ola, the lawful winner of the April 2007 poll. A deciding factor was that 19,000 of the ballots cast for Chief Kila had the same serial number.[1][5] The election of Kila's former colleague in Ekita state, Senator Ayo Arise, was also challenged in court that month and a re-run was ordered.[6]

Soon after Kila was ousted from the senate, Ekiti State Governor Segun Oni nominated Kila as the state’s candidate for chairman of the Universal Basic Education Commission. However, it was later decided that he was not qualified for this job.[7]

jp philips: Go ahead and insult my intelligence, senators, HOR and ministers dont perform except given the Government house, is that human logic or Goat reasoning?

I am sure Abike Dabiri in the lower house, dora Akunyili, Princess odua and even yerima will disagree with you.

Our politics has evolved where a Governor fails and you hand him the presidency and expect him to perform, arent you tired of wishful thoughts?

He is very right, it is different ball game in the legislative arm , much worse if you are in the opposition

he has only spent two years.

I see you talk about Abike Dabiri, her freedom of information bill failed to scale througgh in her second term of 4 yrars, she spent roughly 7 years to see that bill scale through.

I also think a greater role is the oversight functions of his committee.

Do not also forget he has co-sponsored a bill with some group of senators, the grouse is that he has not single handedly sponsored a bill

Noblechyk: Funny enough, PDP doesn't normally impose candidate. They only manipulate d outcome of of the party primaries in favor of their preffered candidate. APC is worse in terms of internal democracy. It's emergence is good as PDP has to sit up; but they are definitely no better alternative

Leave story,just yesterday, PDP now has 2 gubernatorial candidates for Anambra elecction produced from 2 different primaries.

A faction produced the one imposed by OGA @ the tops, and other faction recognised by Inec produced the second candidate.

It is the other way round, Other parties have a lot to learn from the defunct ACN now APC on internal democracy.

Why conduct a Ghana must go induced primaries to elect a candidate ?

Was a PDP opposition member the wedding planner to know the amount spent?

Talking about flunging figures from the asss.

They could as well say he spent 10 billion naira, so some people can believe nonsense they are sniffing around for

His conclusion was based on a wrong premise

You will not win at the primaries, so why bother ?

I doubt if he is calculative.

Why is he looking bewildered?

Logicboy03: Become an atheist and you'd have no problem

Religion is a waste of time. It is better for me to feed poor people under the bridge than listen to a pastor or priest.

For this comment to have had as much as 7 likes in 2,000 views could mean more people are losing confidence in churches, mosques and shrines . There is a need for spiritual awakening in the land, and for people to realise we are most importantly created to worship God.

GEJ had 98% of the total votes in the south east in 2011.

He can no longer get 98% performance in the South east in 2015 - FACT.

I also have a feeling, there would be lesser number of voters coming out to vote in the SE for 2015 presidential elections

But, Where is Governor Chime ? I was expecting to see him in that pix, i hope he has won the fight against that monster?

I will keep saying Nigerians have got common sense and conscience , but they deactivate it on fooolish and sentimental reasons like tribal affiliation, religious affiliations and political party affiliations.

How can presumably sane people on Nairaland be supporting an obviously deluded fake prophet who wants a market on and beside the yaba railway line ?

NRC told to curb rail side trading

A train parked at Agege rainway staion

Trading beside railway lines either inside makeshift shops or through hawking has remained a norm in-spite of the danger inherent.
The traders reputed for rail side selling market products ranging from consumer to durable goods. The practice is more pronounced at Agbado, Ijoko, Agege, Iju and Yaba railway stations where traders converge as early as 7.00a.m daily to market their wares. It is imperative to state that most times the traders display their wares on the rail lines only to remove same temporarily when a train is approaching. In 1996 when Dr. (Mrs.) Kema Chikwe was Minister of Transport at train accident occurred at “Yaba” level crossing leaving five people most of whom were traders operating along the railway lines dead.
http://www.mydailynewswatchng.com/2013/05/16/nrc-told-to-curb-rail-side-trading/

Immediately after the accident management of Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC) embarked on veiled efforts to stop trading along the railway lines through periodic raids, only for the traders to return in larger number. The Lagos State Government in its determination to stop encroachment of traders on rail lines especially at strategic areas like Yaba and Oshodi got positive nod from management of Nigerian Railway Corporation to put a final stop to the practice. The state government thereafter barricaded the Oshodi and Yaba railway station environs and stationed Policemen permanently to wade off any intruder.

Keen observers of events are however of the opinion officials of the Corporation collect daily returns of between N50.00 and N100.00.
Managing Director, First Rit Nigeria Limited , Mr. Eric Umezurike, said that management should learn from what the Lagos State Government has done by barricading the railway stations in Lagos and other parts of the country. He noted that all over the world, railway premises are secluded and only passengers and workers are allowed to enter the railway stations and workshops respectively. Mr. John Obi, a regular commuter, said that apart from trading, beggars use the railway lines as platform for begging. According to him the beggars are more predominant at Agbado and Agege railway stations.

He could have been crushed by the wheels. I av heard it happened before.

The prophet is lucky Fashola is not like Ihedi Ohakim, he would have been flogged by him.
