aressssa:You still have not answered my question. If it is barabaric for a man to threaten a woman with violence,what do you call the woman who actually physically attack a man with violence? |
blackpanda:By gentleman,I mean the man in the pix,not Dino. Yes,you stated that there's no excuse for a man to 'threaten' violence on a fellow senator but what do you call a woman who did not just threaten but physically attack the men first. There was a video of how she was visibly attacking Obanikoro who kept calm and kept walking. You can also see the photo of her planting her fingers on a man's face. Please,what do you call her for that? |
I propose that Nigerians should compile a list of all the people who have served in this govt,from the president himself to the least political office holder. And then a law should be made that none of them serve in any subsequent govt in this nation so that they don't by any chance infest that govt with this failure because failure is contagious |
aressssa:No,I don't. Now kindly answer my own question. Am waiting. And be as direct with your answer as I am with yours |
aressssa:Okay. What do you call a woman who physically attacks gentlemen first as seen in that picture? You attack and call him names for threatening the woman with violence,but what do you call the woman who ACTUALLY went violent on men first? Is that one not barbarity too? I need your answer,kid. |
aressssa:He is neither my uncle nor role model. I am not a fan of his. Not everybody who speaks the truth about the woman's condemnable actions is a supporter of Melaye. I hope you grow up to understand that. But I had expected you to write on the points raised by the Op,but I guess objective reasoning is still a luxury to kids like you. And as for you in particular,its clear to the whole forum that you lack the mental ability to engage in deep reasoning,hence I will urge you not to quote me nor engage in any discussions with me. When faced with an intelligent confrontation,you simply run away with "ipob ranting bore me". Please run away now |
Valid instances have been raised here and no single poster above said anything in reference to the points,instead they are attacking the Dino. I am disgusted by this blind sycophancy. The truth remains that Mrs Tinubu has turned herself into an abuser and fighter which the men had tried to avoid. A picture surfaced online sometime back where she had her hands on a fellow senator's face but none of the disgusting sycophants told her to apologise. You can't keep throwing mud and expect not to receive mud yourself. Am not a fan of either but I had hoped for more balanced and objective criticism

Iriruaga100:That was how they came on Nairaland before the last Bayelsa election to create the impression that Sylva and APC had support in Bayelsa,thereby giving Sylva the false impression that he was going to win. When the election day arrived,the people in the state(not some youths with Mb in Lagos) did the voting and sylva and apc were beaten convincingly in all the LGA's(except his own LGA). They have started again |
All are for personal selfish interests. Once their demands are not met behind closed doors,they come outside to publicly declare their 'dumpping the party'. And people who wouldn't have gotten a dime if the demand was agreed will sheepishly follow them. Some will come online like this to celebrate the man's personal hustle moves. |
Op,those were the times he posted his pix and comments,not the actual time he got there. In trying to prove too smart,you goofed on the simplest common sense. Meanwhile,all this attempts to discredit Dino,is it just to save Tinubu's larger than life stance. Am not a fan of either of them but a few days ago most yorubas were declaring the things that will happen to Melaye if he ever sets foot in Lagos,some listed the inummerable things that Tinubu will do to him. The Dino guy to show that he isn't a coward,not only came to Lagos,he came to Bourdillon to even stroll and snap photos. And now the same yoruba bunch(the tinubu worshippers bunch cos not all are under the broom juju) seeing that their god has been ridiculed and demystified started raining abuse on the Dino guy for being childish while some like the OP went 'James Bonding' on the clues that will help prove otherwise |
overall90:I don die!! This is the most hilarious comment ever! Yes,Dino is waiting to see if she will come outside the gate so that he will impregnate her. Sharp sharp! No time |
Before the advent of NDA and other militants bombing the pipelines,Nigeria under his watch hit a historical low of 0megawatts,so he should stop giving excuses. Besides,isn't he the one that stated during pdp era that 'nigerians should not accept any excuse for power failure'. Why is now giving a tonne of it? http://www.starconnectmedia.com/2014/10/29/dont-accept-excuses-for-power-failure-fashola-tells-nigerians/ |
aressssa:Good,that's a picture of Dino acting like a thug in the House of Reps. And there's also several videos of Remi Tinubu acting like an uncivilzed bitch. So its safe to guess that both of them were right in their assertions over each other. And youngman,I want you to learn how to think and reason objectively in your life. What makes you think am siding Dino Melaye? The facts are that she verbally abused him first and he responded in equal measure. Simple. It doesn't have to be about the persons involved. I see you reasoning in d line of tinubu vs saraki. That's an immature approach to reasoning |
All these 'on-paper' NGOs with no physical office anywhere. All will be quick to collect some bribe from Tinubu to form woman right activists. Is that Tinubu's best shot? Meanwhile,while would a woman be the first to label a man 'thug and a dog',but when replied in equal measure,she starts playing 'female victim'. I think Mrs Tinubu should be made to apologise to Melaye first withing the next 48hours |
aressssa:See how the true yorubas have exposed you to be a non-yoruba. And being an impostor,you have been making a mess of yourself,youngman. |
As long as he has exchanged fluids with her,he has entered a covenant. |
RZArecta:Not really. The kogi state governor was able to emerge despite the surrounding controversies because during the apc presidential primaries,while the late abubakar audu led the majority of kogi delegates to vote for kwakwanso,he(yahaya bello) led some of the delegates to vote for buhari. With the death of audu in the midst of the election collation,buhari has incidentally become the president and hence it was easy for buhari to get the party and inec to sway in the guy's favor for his support. We are not sure if he would have had that office if he worked for anyother candidate(atiku,kwankwaso,rochas) then. |
BUHARI’S ENDORSERS AND STATE OF THE NATION By Shaka Momodu, Thisday Live; 15/07/16 The fog of the 2015 general election is finally clearing up; the falsehoods sold to the people as change are unravelling at dizzying speeds. Even some vociferous supporters of President Muhammadu Buhari are deserting him in droves. Those who have not openly expressed some apprehension about the path the “messiah” has chosen to lead the country are grumbling and sniveling. However, a few diehards are still clinging to a tiny strand of hope that a miracle just might happen and things would change for the better under his government. Well, it is going to get old saying I told you so. I can bet my bottom naira that nothing is going to change, at least not from what we have seen so far. As I have repeatedly stated in this column, change cannot come from a man who has not changed one bit, nor shown the slightest inclination to change contrary to the tales that were peddled on the campaign train. That will only happen when it’s proved that a leopard can now change its spots, or a tiger can change its stripes. His recent actions are a further proof of his ironclad narrow-minded, and ethnically inclined nature. Those who collectively misled the people that Buhari had changed but are now singing a different tune must be held to account. We were bombarded with all sorts of virtuous and exemplary conducts of his past, and told his ethno-religious tendencies were “contrived” to undermine him. We were assured that Buhari would heal this land and restore hope to a fractured people. That has not happened; instead he has more than any president in the history of Nigeria consciously exacerbated the ethnic and religious divisions of the country by his actions and total display of insensitivity by his appointments. They told us that he was the expected one – the long-awaited messiah who would bring back the glory of the fatherland and restore the pride of a people that were terribly famished. That wishful thinking has now clearly exploded in the faces of the proponents who spent their precious naira burnishing his image with cosmetics, as the candidate played along to the excitement of many. In the last one year, the Nigerian economy has practically collapsed under the great “fixer”; the business environment has been scorched to the ground. Hunger and starvation have become daily companions of many people such that parents now exchange children for food. The change agents told Nigerians the ominous sounds of the prospect of a Buhari presidency that rang out so loudly during the electioneering were in fact drumbeats of exhilaration, hope and renewal. Today, Nigeria stands challenged in all spheres, rudderless and floundering like never before. And of course we have so many astonishingly ridiculous and perverse people making silly excuses for the man who clearly has no business being at the helm of affairs of this country. Now it seems so obvious that Buhari and his party were very good at making promises but only excel spectacularly at making excuses for not fulfilling them. The clamour for change can be categorised into four broad subheads, viz., the genuine change-seekers, the willfully blinded, those that lost out in the power struggle and had become spiteful, and the extremely partisan and sneaky activists who now even look the other way as the rule of law is mocked and torn to shreds. It is true that many people yearned for a more fundamental change and desired it desperately; indeed, they still do. They constituted the genuine but ignorant, naive, vulnerable and undiscerning majority. These genuine change-seekers however became easily susceptible to the illusions called “change” promised by the All Progressives Congress (APC) and its standard-bearer who walked about with padded feet, waving and smiling sweetly at everyone to frenzied applauses from enthusiastic crowds. Secondly were those who chose to be willfully blinded to the danger signals that were so glaringly visible that then Candidate Muhammadu Buhari represents. Thirdly was the category who embraced change more out of spite and malice than conviction that Buhari’s presidency would bring the much-needed elixir and healing to this troubled country. Having lost out in the struggle for power and control, they wanted to get back at former President Goodluck Jonathan. And in a clear act of sheer desperation, progressive-minded people joined forces with ultra-conservatives in an unholy alliance to get power. Lastly were members of the intellectual/activist class who staked their reputations built over many years to sway support for the general on the extremely naive and dishonest premise that Buhari had changed. By endorsing Buhari, they were endorsing a brand of populism rooted on a campaign of half-truths, “true lies”, ignorance, prejudice, sectional politics and outright deception driven by a motivation to mislead the people to achieve power. To this group, the end justified the means. The intellectual/activist class is particularly guilty of the situation we find ourselves today. They vouched for Buhari with such vigour and gusto that left the discerning dumbfounded. Our own hero and Nobel laureate, Professor Wole Soyinka, stood shoulder above all others on this score. This was how he expressed his love for him: “It is however just as purblind to insist that he has not demonstrably striven to become what he most glaringly was not, to insist that he has not been chastened by intervening experience and – most critically – by a vastly transformed environment – both the localised and the global.” This to me was a pure fiction. There is a saying in the land of my fathers that the hardest thing in life is vouching for someone, especially someone you barely know. When you do that, you are indirectly saying, ‘I’m putting my reputation on the line. I believe this person is a good person, with good character’, or has changed. This was what Nigerians were told. Soyinka and co. stood as referees for Buhari when he applied for the position of the president of Nigeria. They vouched for a changed Buhari and encouraged the public to employ him for the top job. Will Soyinka honestly tell Nigerians whether this was the change he assured them would come from Buhari? Has Soyinka seen the lopsided appointments Buhari has been making across all strata of government? It is a chilling reminder of his past stint in office, particularly his tenure as the Chairman of the Petroleum Trust Fund (PTF); a past that was denied by his hysterical supporters in the run-up to the election. Professor Pat Utomi was one of those who like our own dear Soyinka put his reputation on the line to reassure the people that Buhari “will restore hope” and lead Nigeria out of the woods during the high fever of electioneering. You can imagine my profound shock and disbelief a few months ago when he launched a scalding attack on President Buhari and his government for the beyond-belief manner he was managing the national fault lines as well as his poor handling of the economy. This was what he was reported to have said: “The problem with Buhari’s administration is his medieval mindset. He excludes rather than includes. So, he does not get the best idea. He is insular. Because of their medieval mindset, they have created a country that is more divided than they met it. And that is a problem for leadership that is marching towards progress. His ideas go back 30 years and they are irrelevant to this world. Open up your mind and listen to people and you can make progress. To lead is to serve. To lead, you must be knowledgeable. People don’t follow somebody who doesn’t know where he is going. Otherwise, you fall into a ditch.” After reading that statement, I could not but asked myself and anyone who cared to listen, did he just know this about Buhari? I’m baffled as to how I could have seen it all and more experienced people like Utomi didn’t. As if Utomi’s about-face was not dramatic enough, read what Oby Ezekwesili of Bring Back Our Girls fame had to say about the administration: “Buhari’s economic policies are archaic and opaque, reminiscent of his first coming in the 80s. During that era, inflation spiralled. During that era, jobs were lost. During that era, the economic growth level dipped. That era wasn’t the best of eras in economic progress. “What did not work in 1984 cannot possibly be a solution in a global economy that’s much more integrated.” She accused Buhari of rehashing the same “command and control” approach towards economic issues which has left the country’s economic indices worse off, adding: “We have lost the single digits inflation status we maintained in past administrations.” The question we should all ask our bouncy campaigner is: did she just know this about Buhari? The truth is, she was one of those who consciously ignored the danger signals that were all so visible to everyone but which many chose to be willfully blinded to. The Chibok girls’ plight became a vote-catcher for then Candidate Buhari who repeatedly played it up and assured the nation it would top his list of priorities only to quickly relegate it to the footnote after gaining power. Where is Professor Charles Soludo? Is he still in this country? If yes, then he must be grumbling quietly by now about the state of the economy. That is, if his economic theories still make any sense. But why is he not talking? The change he helped foist on the people is mutating into a crippling police state. The economy is in a perilous state – on the verge of a recession. Is he not aware? To the chagrin of investors recently, a “changed” Buhari lest we forget, talked down the CBN new forex policy moments after endorsing it, thereby making many potential investors to nervously wait and watch from the sidelines. Now, won’t Soludo tell Nigerians how much the country has lost through the mismanagement of the economy, lack of policy direction and lost investment opportunities under one year of Buhari — N10 trillion, N20 trillion, N30 trillion or more? It will be interesting to hear from him, that is, if he still has the courage of his conviction. It is a crying shame that a first-class economist of Soludo’s stature was one of those who just couldn’t see through the facade of lies; maybe he did, but was driven more by petty revenge and that disease that afflicts only black people. It is a double tragedy that he even aided and abetted the campaign of malicious lies with his allegation of “missing” or “mismanaged” N30 trillion during the run-up to the presidential election. It was a season when the walking wounded with malice in their hearts would come to the public space to spew rubbish just because they wanted to hug the headlines the next day. It keeps me up at night knowing that they willfully led this nation back to a replay of 1984/85, the consequences of which are the debilitating economic and socio-political crises we have today. Let Nigerians ask former President Olusegun Obasanjo whether this is the “Nigeria of our dreams” he so gleefully told the world Buhari was building some months ago. The same Obasanjo acknowledged even before the election that Buhari knew next to nothing about economic management but went on to recommend him for the top job. Obasanjo who instituted an enquiry into the activities of the PTF even denied the findings. It was the height of fierce determination to push through his spiteful “change”. If Buhari was not good on the economy, he has even proved worse on politics. No one can tell for sure,maybe, just maybe, this was the change they meant after all. |
There's a level of confidence which Fayose brings into an environment. I have said it severally before that if am to take side with either fayose or buhari in this whole sage,I will take my chances with fayose. I have a strong feeling that he will triumph over pmb at the end and his political dynasty will far outlive buhari's. |
See how sylva is doing everything possible to make the state of GEJ an apc state. But can someone please tell me if any katsina born PDP politician can fight like this to make the state of PMB a pdp state. Bottom line: why is the south very easy to divide while the north places tribe and religion over everyother consideration. As for buhari's wife,since when did she become a power broker. Wasn't she the woman frying akara in public to prove that she's a humble housewife,now wants to remove and install state governors? She go wound ooo! |
I don't see why a woman will forget that she's a woman when she wants to abuse or attack a man but will be quick to play the feminine victim act when replied in equal measure. If Mrs Tinubu could voice out whatever she thought about Dino Melaye,she should then be ready to accept whatever Dino thinks of her |
Oshiomole,that your juju priest's word is about to fail you now |
TheNewIbadan:Why have you people become so blinded that you think that any person who voices an opposition to apc or buhari must be an igbo. Incase you don't know,there are still majority of yorubas who are not apc supporters,I know countless number of them personally and I laugh when they make comments here and their own brothers label them ipob youths. I know many guys personally from the middle belt(north central) who worked in various arms of the pdp,today when they comment,yorubas call them igbo because they voiced an opposition to the apc. I call them occassionally to humor it. Do you see that you and many others have a twisted and biased mentality that needs help |
But please I want us to be objective here. GEJ was going to bama in Borno state,a battle front,a former strong hold of the enemy to address the troops in the war front and hence had to dress in full military regalia. PMB was going to Zamfara state,a peaceful state to commission some road projects built by the governor(according to the report). So why dress in full military regalia? Why? If that's not copying,then I don't know what it is. ...Let's be objective |
Lagos state govt promulgated some laws under Fashola. Among those laws include the Baning of okada in major parts of Lagos,the ban on agberos collecting 'oouda' illegal tolls from transporters at every bus stop. They immediately swung to action to seize almost all the bikes on the roads of Lagos. This they did because they found out that about 90% of the okada riders were from outside lagos,mostly from the north. But has anybody seen the same lagos state govt arresting the agberos at the bus stops? They are still there boldly extorting the transporters. Why? Because its their people that are the agberos and are backed by some lazy elders,traditional rulers and chief touts. I guess the effects are now coming back to hunt the same govt. Selah |
Lalasticlala,let's have more stunts out there. Feel free to add more |
9,Ayo Fayose He is arguably the king of publicity stunts. One can not draw such a list without reference to this man. No single week passes without a new photo of him showboating his 'love for the streets'. But unlike most other politicians,his own stunts did not stop after his victory. Rather it seems to have even gotten worse as governor. From Fayose eating in buka to eating pomo to riding okada,the list is endless. Enjoy the various photos. We can safely conclude from these pictures that this governor loves meat a lot,especially the hides,locally known as pomo.
|
8,Rochas Okorocha He is arguably the king of 'showboating'. During his re-election campaign in 2015,he took to the streets to showcase various publicity stunts that will prove that he is loved by the streets. In one of such moves,he came across a woman roasting corns,he didn't just buy and eat as many others will do,he took over the roasting from her,he didn't stop at that,he took her son from her and continued roasting and occasionally beckoned on onlookers to come and buy fresh corn! Election year is indeed an interesting one.
|
7,Rotimi Amechi During the 2015 elections in Rivers state,the APC and the PDP were engaged in various publicity stunts in aimed at coming out as the more populist party in the state. But by far the most hilarious stunt was pulled by none other than Rotimi Amechi. He is known to be quite a 'drama king' and has been known for many publicity antics which included the carrying of the cross of Jesus on good friday where he put up a more gloomy face than even Christ himself. He has been seen eating in bukkas(local cafeteria) but the one that stood out most was this picture where he went into the market and randomly went to a shop where he took over the plaiting of a woman's hair. Everybody had to stand back and watch their governor plaiting hair! We wonder if he has plaited any other hair since then.
|
6,Adams Oshiomole and Godwin Obaseki. 2016 is an election year for Edo state and the people of Edo will go back to the ballot boxes to decide who will be their next governor. Adams Oshiomole will need the people to vote for his anointed God son Godwin Obaseki. And their very first action after he won the APC primaries was to buy roasted corn and eat in the streets. We find it quite ironic and sad that the same Oshiomole who had whisked away the wares of the street traders while he was in power will be the first to jump into the streets to patronise them for the sake of votes. Its either this corns were so sweet that both Obaseki and Oshiomole couldn't wait to get home,that they had to eat them in the middle of the road or its just the usual publicity stunt,afterall,'what's the special ingredient that was used in roasting this particular corns?' It won't be a surprise if Obaseki's first act on becoming governor is the sacking and seizing of her wares.
|
5,Adams Oshiomole. The most ironic of all the 'fake publicity stunts' belongs to none other than Comrade Adams Oshiomole of Edo state. Before his ascension into office as Governor,this was a man the whole nation could vouch was a symbol of the common man. So when during his campaign,he started identifying 'with the streets',it was easy for all to believe. Nobody saw it as a publicity stunt but rather an epitome of his simplicity. In this photo, he was seen patronising a street hawker selling fried plantain chips. Now fast forward time to when he has become governor,a video went viral of him personally supervising the demolition and confiscation of wares of the same street traders. In it,a widow was seen lying down at his feet and begging him to have mercy on her goods as she was a widow and the wares were her only means of training her children. Like a ruthless emperor,the same oshiomole looked at her with so much disdain and contempt and blurted out the now infamous sentence of 'you're a widow,so what,GO AND DIE!'

4,Aisha Buhari Prior to the 2015 Presidential elections,not much was known about Hajia Aisha Buhari. To aid her husband's victory chances,she was advised to start her own campaigns and publicity stunts to endear the masses to her. And in a few days of the start of her campaign,she stopped over at an akara(bean cake) woman's spot and guess what? She didn't just buy and eat akara from the seller,no,better still,she took over the frying of the akara from the woman. I must confess that the stunt pulled some followers to her. Since nothing much was known about her,it was even for the populace to ajudge her as a down to earth woman especially when compared with the wife of the then incumbent president whom all has seen as elitist. Since the victory,she hasn't gone back to help the akara seller or anyother akara seller fry any akara,instead news and accusations flying around rather shows her to be a highly sophisticated woman capable of brokering multi million dollar bribery deals.
