In trust ? Have you been to yoruba villages and see the 18th century dwelling ? Have you seen the education statistics and know that Yoruba are the least educated tribe in southern Nigeria....have you gone to parks in Lagos


Did I hear you say in trust....does it mean nobody thinks outside the box there

I am struggling to understand the correlation of your response with what I typed because if you are a social scientist who attended a university, you would have been taught how human societies are formed and organized.

Even in prehistoric times where there was even no formal schools in existence, human beings delegate leadership to one significant member of their society to hold such power in trust so please read about sociological perspectives of human beings.
Secondly,please when you quote data,provide the links to support it so that it becomes an intelligent and verifiable reference point.
18th century is a time period from 1701 to 1800 in history so please let me have places in Yoruba land still living in that kind of past for it would be a valuable information for archaeological studies.

Tinubu is the 21st century Awolowo. Maybe a modified or political version.
He is a very strategic politician, there are only a few politician alive who can match him in political arithmetic.

One thing I still don't understand is how he is able to control majority of the West.

They've entrusted him with power so he becomes their property and become accountable to them.It is a tough place to be if you ask me because you will suffer for decisions arrived at by the collective even if your personal wish is contrary to the wishes of the led.

You are right about the West because Delta state may soon have an APC Governor in Chief Great Ogboru (you will soon see the contagious effect of APC in Edo on Delta state election and how suddenly people in Delta won't have qualms being in the same political party with their kith and kin in the old Bendel of Western Nigeria) thereby possibly returning the whole old Western region into one political bloc again as done by the late Chief Awolowo.
He has a very strong backing from the majority of the Yoruba(including Edoid Yoruba, Itshekiri- Yoruba) and the formidable Yoruba Intelligentsia who help him collate data,views and results from evidence-based strategic planning and advisory. One of the arrow heads of his inner caucus of Intelligentsia Advisers who equally have personal stake in his success are the current Vice President,Prof.Osibanjo, Ekiti state governor,Dr. Fayemi( both University of Lagos Great Akokites, UNILAG has produced 3 out of the 6 SW governors!) and a host of extremely brilliant talents within and outside the shores of Nigeria.

StillX10:
One man controlling the whole Yoruba nation

He is holding the power in leadership in trust on behalf of the Yoruba so that someone is held accountable for every action taken by the political leadership of the Yoruba. That's why you will see that a Gov. Fayose sees no qualms in recognizing Asiwaju's place as his leader despite being in a different political party and how the Yoruba elite,across political divide quickly heeded his call to save the Yoruba race from the embarrassment the punishment of Gov. Aregbesola with a defeat would have caused the Yoruba if Sen. Adeleke is elected with his very poor education(he didn't even pass ordinary Level WAEC and wants to lead the Yoruba parents who can spend their last Kobo and go hungry to get their children educated)

He must regularly consult and take the inputs from the Kabiyesis, Chiefs,Yoruba Intelligentsia, Business community( formal and informal market leaders), the influencers, traditional power blocs like the ogbonis, Ifa priests, alumni groups, social clubs, Parapos, OPC, Agbekoya etc), Professional groups,Armed forces(retired and serving) Civil servants,Religious leaders, Youth/Women groups and Yoruba in the diaspora.

This is the hallmark of all successful races. A person represents the abstract form of power and holds it in trust for the collective while the led continue to pray for him/her to be a wise and successful leader.That is why the Bible counsels Christians to pray for their leaders.
Interestingly,Asiwaju earned the leadership role he's occupying and has been seen as a rallying point for the Yoruba interest that is politically aligned with national interest.

In the Yoruba culture, the led are very powerful and can serve severe punishment on any leader that strays from his allegiance to their courses. That's why the June 12 struggle consumed some leaders and birthed new leaders.

The Yoruba society is very dynamic and if you are a leader, you really have to be very careful because one costly political blunder can bring a death knell to your political career.
I believe very soon, the society of the other tribes will soon realise that in every struggle, you need a rallying central figure.
In the Yoruba culture,anytime anything goes wrong,in family,village,association,churches,name it, they always blame the leadership first by asking "ko si olori lagan ni?"( Is there no leader in the place?)

A truly great patriot!
He's so consistently brave and politically strategic.
Seeing how those who betray him go into political oblivion,right from Sen. Kofowora Buknor, his deputy in 1999,I believe there's something very special about this great man and if you ignore him, you do so at your political peril.
I can't wait to see him roll out his campaign for the highest office of the land in 2023.
May God bless him and the rest of us with great health and success to live even beyond 2023.

Photoshopped! The straight leg of the girl in the first picture when viewed from the waist says it all.
I just hope that someone realizes that this is not the kind of talent we need to grow our nation.

I remember having this problem but that was about few months back and had to go through someone with access to the admin before the problem was resolved so I expect this nagging problem would have been solved permanently.
The Consumer Protection Council should look into this kind of issues too so that critical service providers like nairaland will shape up.
I wonder why this process can't be automated and the ad could be brought down in the event that discrepancies are noted later.
If everyone has to be doing email to Facebook for ad payment,it will nearly bring down Facebook servers niyen na

As a neutral observer,I think this direct and indirect primaries thing is suddenly revealing who the real politicians with the backing of the majority of party members are.
I still consider it very strange that it's a former state governor who is avoiding direct primaries. I just don't get it. Earlier I thought it was even Magnus Abe that was insisting on direct until I saw that video of his declaration.
I think the national APC should go for direct primaries,especially in Rivers state and Kaduna.

senatordave1:
That of magnus abe is a kangaroo and illegal primary.that of amechi is lawful and duly recognized by apc and inec

It seems that the pro-Amaechi group is the OP and same person commenting. If I am to go with the statement of Senator Magnus Abe on Channels TV while addressing a mammoth crowd that attended his declaration,then APC is unjust and this kind of divisive primary will destroy the chances of APC in Rivers state. I don't know why APC can't stick to direct primaries like it did to other states in similar situations like Rivers APC.
Magnus Abe has declared that he won't be part of the primary if it is indirect and I believe that he didn't participate in this primary has earlier stated by him on Channels TV

The Special Presidential Investigation Panel for the Recovery of Public Property has arrested two whistle blowers for allegedly misleading it with false information.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the alleged false information was provided against Mr Emmanuel Mbaka, foremost real estate developer and Managing Director of Platinum Mortgage Bank.

The male suspects, Prince Jeff Ove, 37, from Bayelsa, and Mohammed Sanusi, 39, from Kogi, were presented to newsmen by the spokesperson of the panel, Lucie-Ann Laha, in Abuja on Friday.

“We received information from the suspects that the victim was a politician who looted a large amount of money and stashed it in his house.

“We have found out that the person is not a politician. I don’t think association with politicians automatically makes you a politician.

“We were told there was a large cache of money in his house. The panel has carried out a thorough investigation, turned the house inside out and we found nothing,’’ she said.

Laha, who apologised to Mbaka on behalf of the panel, said the suspects would be prosecuted to show that the Federal Government’s Whistle-blower Policy was not an instrument of character assassination.

“The policy is meant to encourage Nigerians to assist anti-corruption agencies with credible information to apprehend those that have looted the commonwealth of Nigerians.

“Anyone who brings information to the panel and any other anti-corruption agency is assured of confidentiality and certain rewards.

“Conversely, when Nigerians try to circumvent this policy by giving false information in a bid to malign other Nigerians, the law says we should reprimand them, which is what we are doing here today,’’ she said.

Speaking to newsmen, the two suspects said they were misled by informants, and apologised to Mbaka while pleading with the panel for forgiveness.

Ove said, “I was in Bayelsa when I got information that there was a fund that a politician kept in Abuja here.

“We came and someone introduced me to a friend, who also corroborated the information that has turned out to be false, and that was why I approached the panel to report.

“Once again, I apologise to the man, I am very sorry, I have learnt my lessons and I promise this will never happen again.’’

On his part, Sanusi said sometime in March, 2017, one Aliyu told him that he knew a house in Abuja where stolen money was being kept.

He said he never bothered to take the information to anti-corruption agencies because Aliyu had said he wasn’t too sure of its authenticity.

“But the brother of this very man (Ove) standing beside me here came all the way from Bayelsa and said he had a special power to enter the house and search it.

“He said all I needed to do was to show him the house, and he made me to understand that with the power he acquired from India he would be able to know whether the money was there or not.

“When we got there, he told me that the spirit had told him that there was money in the house, and that we should give him a little time to work on it,’’ he said.

Sanusi said he never knew that Ove and his unidentified brother had already approached the panel to inform it about the supposed money.

Shouldn't it be the victim that should sue? I am just wondering why taxpayers money should be used to prosecute the false accusers?

So how did Seun Okinbaloye of Channels TV get those people in the queue to vote that is being showed live on TV?
I think you should report channels TV to NBC if you are so sure about your complaint

6Ebisco:
The National Working Committee (NWC) of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has approved the mode of primaries for Saturday, September 29th, 2018 governorship primary elections scheduled to hold across the thirty-six states of the federation and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

This information was contained in a statement APC spokesman, Yekini Nabena, sent to DAILY POST Tuesday afternoon.

There have been confusion on the kind of primaries states will adopt this weekend.

Meanwhile, the NWC has banned the Adamawa State Working Committee from participating either as delegates or superintendents over the governorship primaries holding in the State.

“This is due to the fact that the Adamawa State Working Committee was prejudiced in favour of a governorship aspirant”, the statement added.

The breakdown of mode of primaries in all 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) is found below…
