mogentle: That pitiable shame is not to Oyinlola but to you the OP who refused to believe that politics is about INTEREST which goes beyond individuals. Your post lacks cohesion, no source, no traceability whatsoever. Get a life bros. What do you expect him to do? to go to Aso Rock and be begging GEJ to implement the abandonned legal paper from court that made him the authentic National Secretary? He has decided to move on in[b] his career.[/b] You prefer that he sits down there and become redundant? Impossible. Oyinlola was a former soldier and must have consulted properly before taking step. So, keep cry me a river while Osun is progressing.

This is why Nigeria will forever be ruined by corruption : Politics is about interest, not convictions . Politics is a career , not service . SMH

MisterLongman: All I know is that by monday all this nonsense will end....... And that is why I am quoting you and I hope another nairaland data loss do not occur

To be truthful I think Aregbesola will win by a little margin. The man done try no be small and Olodumare might just have mercy on him. Haba campaigning while standing on top moving bus and other desperate gymnastics are not easy o.
On the other hand if Omisore wins it will also be by a little margin. We have a battle between two nonsense candidates so I say may the most less nonsense man win.

TundeCole: PDP2Uba brothers: Ekiti & Osun Stats’ Election Fixing Contracts and The Vampires’ pact From a Deserter’s Diary

2015 General Elections in Nigeria: The Schedule of Military Operations; A Deserter’s Diary

Part 1: The Vampires’ Pact: Uba brothers and Ekiti/Osun Stats’ Election Contracts

“When General Eme first gave a hint that Chris Uba was bidding for the Ekiti Election Fixing Contract for the PDP because ‘Fayose could not raise enough money for the election and people were not willing to stake their funds on him on account of his political antecedent’, I honestly had cause to doubt him despite his credibility with such high-tech top secrete pouch of information. He realy went cold with me for a few days for this Thomasic behaviour.”

By time this news becomes public item, I would have been declared a deserter — this I mean being hunted by the crack team of the security command of the new clique of Nigerian hegemony I have designated strictly personally contrived and automatically convinced to so hold. Once heard of the Mystic Falls in the US and thought it a fictional tale of creative ingenuity, never would I contemplate a reality version of it in the real world. Lo and behold, they are here in Nigeria and to be encountered as political vampires. But vampire is vampire – feeding on human blood to kill.

Blood has a metaphor in the world of economics to man. It’s the money power at its basic necessity for human survival, which globally is scaled in the terminology of ‘poverty level’. A man in penury of abject poverty is a living corpse. This I know from a practical experience of my life before I was ‘conscripted’ into the Niger ‘Delta Freedom Fighters Force’ – as we thought it; not the ‘militant group’ the press conspired to label us.

Ever wondered my use of ‘conscripted’ for ‘initiation’ into that undoubtedly an occultist world of the Niger Delta militancy? The difference between what we ‘believed’ we were and what the public perceived us to be is the answer for the reason. But every militant is a cult with membership allegiance to identifiable group and its leader consequently. At that level the concept of initiation was applied. But at the macro level of Niger Delta’s interest, each cult group has a stake to commit into the project. Each thus becomes a platon of the general command of the freedom fighters. At this level, individual is a rank and file of the Nigeria Delta Army. At that level, concept of conscription is applied.

Life in the creek’s had been so good to much of heavenly paradise; so had been life in ‘the camp’s before the Ekiti Election’s Operations (EEO) changed my orientation altogether happily for the comfort of my conscience. The change was inspired and the satisfaction optimally, as I for once looked into my toddler son in the eye and communicated with heart to him: “you can be happier, now that you know I am free from being a sire bond of the vampires. No more sucking of human blood!”

The EEO made me wept midway into the Zero Hours after we split into civil and combatant operations on the Election Day, that June 21, 2014. Not even the fated termination of Azazi – in plot and executions – ever so moved me to emotions. “We all acknowledge his (Azazi’s) innocence, but FL said Oga believes he is not of our blood by that open declaration; and the silence has to be permanent, ‘General’ Eme had said.

For the EEO, the combatants were to immobilize (execute the clamp down in mass arrest) of the President’s Enemies (PEs) – who happened to be leaders of the ruling party in that State, the All Progressive Congress (APC). The combatants comprised the combined team of soldiers – mostly our members (ND) brotherhoods clad in military fatigue which one would justifiably call ‘fake soldiers’ to a layman but ‘unknown soldiers – as we were acknowledged to be amidst the regular soldiers and known to the military command – as I would think; the State Security Service (SSS); the Special Anti-riot Police Squad (a.k.a. kill-and-go) and a handful men of the Nigerian Security and Civil Defense Corps (NSCDC — a.k.a. Civil Defense). However, a detachment of this combatant unit was to serve as a back-up for the civil arm, specifically to ward off the prying lenses of the press-camera. I belonged and led a team of this detachment and we were actually responsible for the arrest of some unfortunate journalists and press crew.

The civil operation involved distribution of enticing materials — bags of rice and physical cash to the electorate. Those to distribute the materials were mainly civilians identified as the ‘PL’ (President’s Loyalists) sometimes interchangeable in calling as ‘the patriots’. But to Mr. Chris Uba, it’s simply a matter of Mr. President’s loyalists versus his enemies – an orientation he consistently near successfully made us to recite by rote. They comprised the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) leaders not only from Ekiti State as I was as sure as the PDP stalwart from Rivers State to whom our group was responsible to as our civil command’s channel of authority. I do not intend to hold back any identifiable personality involved in all our Ekiti and other prospective operations, but this commander’s name is elusive to me now in my hermitage of exile at home.

The civil operation was however structured in three layers of distinct briefs but complementary into one goal: The civilians, the civil defence corps out team – the combatants.

The Civil Defence was to be closer to the civilians and even involved in physical process of distribution – to give confidence of being an acceptable norm of that election process to the perception of the electorate. We the combatants are to keep equiline watch for any potential ‘a-no-go-gree’ from any quarter to be dealt with, much less as to keep fortive glances at the distribution process to ‘mark’ any one rejecting the largesse as a potential PE.

An indignation suddenly pricked my conscience at about past eleven and mysteriously overwhelming me within seconds in a manner I still find to being beyond human comprehension to date. Though I, like my other Niger Delta militant colleagues in the EEO, was well equipped with ideology of military orientation from the creeks’ experience. To brutally murder an ‘enemy’ – man, for human face, if you like – is a pass time; not to talk of mere bullying.

This one I have just beheld suddenly became obscene and I noticed a gushing feeling of empathy against inhumanity out of me. A middle aged man had just got a dose of the brunt of our military angst that had built up in every one of us in count down to the Zero Hours. I just turned my supposedly blank gaze on one of our parade ride passing by this polling unit to catch a glimpse of two of our men, in the nick of time, hit him at shoulder back. “For democracy?” An intrinsic poser had just challenged my emotion for human feelings

What led to this, I could not personally attest to in oath of true eyewitness account. But a tale of response to my later enquiry suggested a tease in mockery between acquaintances from the opposing camps of political parties gone awry. An overzealous civil defense corps acting true to bidding had raised an unnecessary alarm to attract the fake soldiers.

The flow of handing over a mini bag of rice with cash to every voter on the queue in turn had been smooth from the behind the line until it got to the victim of the brutality, a staunch APC faithful I presumed was well known to the distributor. I think the distributor had offered him his own with a wink of tease he could not find amusing. ‘Get out of my sight or…”, the APC man was still saying before a hard slap on his neck-back from the civil defense cut him short of further words. Other parts of the obscene followed and it instantly ignited my deserving pity for a treaty of misery — a pact of miserable life these people of Ekiti have just been deceived to endorse with these PDP’s callous bait for a deeper wretched living in their land. Suffice to say the first leg of our Revisionism in throwback of the First Republic is a success. For those who do not know, the rested Igbo/Ijaw ethnic nations block making up the Eastern Region’s mission to dominate the political space of Nigeria has returned and alive with us in this democracy – now under South South/South East alliance. We shall get there.

So, how many sons and daughters of Ekiti and Osun states know that the June 21, 2014 Governorship Election in Ekiti and the coming Osun State Governorship Election were contracted to Chief Chris Uba by the President Goodluck Jonathan and the PDP to deliver as electoral victory to PDP?

Do the Ekiti people know that going by the terms of that ‘election fixing’ contract, Chief Chris Uba shall begin to take N650million from the Ekiti State’s treasury via the State’s Federal allocations drawn at source every month effective from October 2014 after the swearing in of the new Governor?. This is a standing order exclusive of recurrent benefits in contracts awards.

Do the People of Osun know that the same condition applies to Osun State if Chief Chris Uba Should also succeeds to deliver on the Osun Election Fixing Contract to the PDP and President Goodluck Jonathan!

Do the people of Osun State know that should Chief Chris Uba fixes the election and successfully deliver victory to PDP, Senator Iyiola Omisore as Governor of the State is sealed to pay him (Chief Chris Uba) a monthly sum of N850million every months via the same channel of drawing from source upon release of the monthly Federal Allocation to the State.

The difference in the Osun’s Contract fee to Ekiti’s is because Omisore had preferred the lump sum of N850million refund every month to Chris Uba without any additional pact of recurrent benefits of contracts award. And this was accepted in this wise because for this State, Uba is not the direct beneficiary. You will know the beneficiary in due course.

Do the People of Ekiti and Osun states know that the Resignation Letters of Mr. Ayodele Peter Fayose and Senator Iyiola Omisore from being the Governor and Chief Security Officers of Ekiti and Osun States respectively were signed before Mr. President, Goodluck Jonathan and in the presence of Chris Uba. These letters are being held in trust for both parties personally by Mr. President.

Dis long ting you want us to read ? You done kolo ni ?

subterfuge: Dear Fellow Nairalanders, Please enlighten me about the genuiness of the so called Centenary Lottery. As i understand, Centenary Committee of the Federal Government of Nigeria is organizing it.They claim that It was
conceived purposely to raise funds,
outside tax payers money, to finance
Centenary Legacy Projects across the country.
My worries are that a close friend working with OSMI told me not to WASTE my money on a SCAM!!!!
Please is this true??

Guy, better save your hard-earned yawa and hustle hard for more instead of spending for lottery. Thanks

A politician has been much the subject of ridicule recently by saying the word 'rices' . His opponents do imagine that he had committed a grammatical blunder , but they are the real fo.ols. You can indeed have rices as long as multiple varieties of the food crop exists..such as brown rice, ofada rice , carolina rice, basmati rice ,egyptian rice, abakaliki rice and so on. Thank you

gabriel212: Collect all you can from omisore b4 election day because he will loose gallantly( i know you are internet paid agent on NL )

My term, this first term ends in November. And until that time I am still the governor. I have the legitimate authority to secure life of our citizens. Nobody, I repeat nobody can threaten or persecute us. We are here. We are here with full backing of the law. And we shall secure the law to fullest for the protection of life and property of our people. -Governor Rauf Aregbesola, upon militarisation of Osun

Bros Aregberascal cool down, the president is visiting Osun on Saturday . Intelligence reports may demand that the entire army be moved there to secure the life of the first citizen if necessary. Also Osun state election is on the next week and people have shown fear of harassment and intimidation by APC thugs. Let thesecurity apparatus dispel such fears. After the election your state will be handed over again to you , if you are still to remain governor. No vex you hear ?

unuane1: The voters have more confidence in the
incumbent.
The latest survey by TNS-RMS has placed
Governor Rauf Aregbesola of the All Progressives
Congress, APC, in pole position to win the August
9 gubernatorial election in Osun State.
TNS-RMS, a member of Gallup International, said
its poll released Thursday, showed the APC
dominating on all critical indicators.
Mr. Aregbesola, the incumbent governor, and
Iyiola Omisore of the Peoples’ Democratic Party,
PDP, are the two major contenders among the 20
contestants for the governorship ticket.
Last Friday, operatives of the Department of
State Services, also known as SSS, stormed the
corporate head office of the Lagos based TNS-
RMS, holding its staff hostage, ransacking its
offices and premises and whisking away three of
its personnel.
A source in the SSS had told PREMIUM TIMES, at
the time of the incident, that the operatives were
dispatched to the company to confiscate
documents relating to an opinion poll they were
conducting.
“We got instruction from above to stop the
company from releasing result of its survey. We
are told the result of the poll was going to
indicate that (Rauf) Aregbesola would win the
election. Government does not want that kind of
poll at this time,” the source, who did not want to
be named because he was not authorized to
speak on the issue, said.
Incidentally, when TNS-RMS released the result
of its poll on Thursday, the APC dominated “the
political landscape” in Osun State based on its
performance on all key indicators evaluated.
“It scored highest and also increased in rating on
first mention, sympathy, and voting intention,”
TNS-RMS stated in its final report.
Candidate of choice
According to the study, Mr. Aregbesola, the
incumbent governor, was the candidate of choice
by Osun voters with a 73 per cent lead over other
candidates,
“The incumbent (Mr. Aregbesola) remains (the)
main voting choice. Voting choice for Senator
Omisore declined by 2 per cent and seem not to
pose a threat to the incumbent’s chances of re-
election as he remains firmly ahead of the race,”
the study said.
The two-phase survey was conducted over a
period that stretched from June into the third
week of July 2014, according to TNS-RMS.
“Not only is APC currently the most preferred
party in Osun State, it has largely retained this
goodwill from way back in the past,” the poll
stated.
“It was the party that most people claimed to
have voted for in the last election and it is still
the party with the highest chances of winning the
election again. More importantly, the gap by
which it outperforms opposition continue to
widen and more convincing in the current
survey,” the report added.
The APC also rated very high in the survey as its
top-of-mind and awareness increased from 75
per cent to 78 per cent from the last poll
conducted, followed distantly by the PDP with 18
per cent, a drop of 3 per cent from 21 per cent in
the first study.
The Labour Party was third with a negligible 1
per cent.
Furthermore, the electorate choice for APC
increased by one per cent to 70 per cent, while
the PDP recorded 19 per cent (a (three per cent
drop).
Electorate choice for Labour Party remained at 1
per cent.
The report went further to say that while Mr.
Aregbesola was more known than his party; Mr.
Omisore was less known than his party.
“Top-of-mind awareness of Ogbeni Rauf
Aregbesola increased to 85 per cent (from per
cent), affinity increased from 72 per cent to 74
per cent and chances of being re-elected
increased from 71 per cent to 73 per cent.”
“Conversely, it is a tale of decline for the man in
second place, Senator Omisore. For top-of-mind
awareness, the PDP candidate toppled to 13 per
cent (from 19 per cent), affinity fell to 19 per cent
(from 21 per cent) and chances of being elected
declined to 19 per cent (from 21 per cent).
“While the affinity of Osun electorates towards
the APC increased by 4 per cent, PDP failed to
maintain its connection to the people. The
favourable perception of Osun voters towards the
All Progressive’s Congress, APC stood at 83 per
cent while on 17 per cent viewed APC as
unfavourable,” the report said.
According to the polls, 98 per cent of the
electorates in Osun State have said they would
participate in the August 9 gubernatorial election.
The survey also revealed the strength of the
candidates and their parties in the local
government areas across the state;
“Repeat of APC high chance to win in all the LGAs
seem to play out again in the next election. APC
is poised to repeat this feat except in Ife Central
and Ife East; the PDP seemed well positioned to
win these two LGAs. The Labour Party’s
weakness is imminent across all the LGAs.
“The incumbent’s chances of being re-elected
remain same across the LGAs except in Ife
Central and Ife East. The incumbent’s chances of
re-election remain high and he leads his closest
rival by a good margin of 54 per cent -an
increment of 4 per cent over last survey,” the
report stated.
Meanwhile, according to the report, the voters’
confidence in the Attahiru Jega-led Independent
National Election Commission, INEC, took a 10
per cent hit, dropping to 57 per cent from 67 per
cent.

Rubbish ! These are just OPINION polls which depends wholly on WHO you ask ; WHERE you ask , WHAT you ask and HOW you ask. They often bear little relevance to facts on the ground - and Gallup polls predicted anyway that Romney would win 2012 election even over the incumbent Obama. the rest is history

mahleeq: The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the Southwest has challenged the
Osun State Governor, Mr. Rauf Aregbesola to speak up on the raging
controversies over his educational qualifications.
The party said it was appalled that academic credentials of the
governor are being questioned on the internet for over three weeks now
without formal response from either him or any of his aides, adding
that; “Aregbesola needs to speak out because the people of Osun State
deserve to know who their governor is.”
Zonal Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Hon. Kayode Babade said in a
release issued today that the governor should also explain his status
as an Engineer so as to lay to rest the controversy over his
qualification as an Engineer, saying; “The governor has nothing to
lose by being opened with his academic records because even when the
birth place of President Barrack Obama of the US became an issue, he
promptly released his Birth Certificate.”
Babade said “Without prejudice to the governor’s claims as per his
academic qualifications, it is necessary that he tell the public when
he actually qualified as Engineer because his supporters are claiming
that he obtained Council for the Regulation of Engineers in Nigeria
(COREN) membership on October 13, 1999, with Certificate Number 002829
and Membership Number R. 7822.This was 19 clear years after he claimed
to have obtained HND from Ibadan Polytechnic in 1980!
“If actually the governor obtained COREN certificate in 1999, when he
was already a Commissioner for Works in Lagos State and was addressed
as an Engineer before, when and after he was appointed commissioner,
Isn’t it clear then that Aregbesola impersonated as an Engineer until
October 13, 1999 that he actually became an Engineer?
“For instance, one Alagba Leye Ige claimed that Aregbesola got an NND
in 1980, while one Wale Adedayo Said the governor was Chief Engineer
at Airport Hotel in the early 80s. It was also claimed in Aregbesola’s
profile that he established his own engineering services company,
Aurora Nigeria Limited in 1986.
“From the above, the question to be asked is; how was Aregbesola
employed as a Chief Engineer in the early 1980s when he was not a
COREN registered engineer until 1999? Why was Aregbesola addressed as
an Engineer when he was appointed commissioner for works in Lagos
State prior to his qualification as a COREN registered engineer? And
lastly, could it have been that Aregbesola used his position as a
commissioner in Lagos State to influence his issuance of COREN
certificate?
“Aregbesola needs to answer the above questions so as to lay to rest
the controversies now being generated on the internet concerning his
academic qualifications and qualification as an engineer.

Question: How does all these 'revelations' pay your bills ?

Bro the only panic I feel is that there are dangerous lvnatics like you guys roaming wild on the internet .And if you sincerely believe any of the stuff you have posted above I am very sorry for you. This is a serious matter ; why treat with such levity ? Please let us learn to think before writing.

naijareferee: I am just postulating...
1. If liberia knew that he was infected as evident before departure, why did they let him on that plane
2. The stop overs he made in Ghana and Togo, where they deliberate or part of the flight schedule.
3. Why did a plane coming to Nigeria had to fly through Togo and Ghana?
4. Was it possible that the Liberian Govt Did this in order to get the rest of west Africa infected
5. Was the liberian govt trying to catch the attention of the world by involving Nigeria.


I might be very wrong, but why would you want to poison anothers food because your has it.

Ebola is deadly and viral.... prevention is the key.

This is a very dumb question from someone who has never traveled out of the country before and just sits in a corner and type nonsense into internet. For answer why don't you contact the airline and look at their flight itinerary and then go get yourself a job. If your brain is too lazy though, some flights from Nigeria along the West Africa coast do make such stops as normal schedule. Also, do they ask you if you have Ebola at airport ? Is it the job of airport personnel to declare you unfit for travel because you have fever ? And why would Liberia government want to get the entire world infected ? For what sensible reason? You are a very evil-minded person.

Nobody knows ? So all you yeye women for Nairaland na only mouth una get ? You no sabi do suicide bomber ?
Shame

elfaez: But really, what has Aregbesola done in all his 3+ years in office other than remodeling the state's appearance, make the state richer in debts, and cover the state in posters? Yea sure he created more employment opportunities by creating corps like the O'yes, O'reap etc. But, what's really in it for people? I mean, if we get more people working, and workers not getting payed, you just get more empty pockets, less money in circulation , and more people screaming down the government's throat! And with this sudden increase in taxation (Or taxation plans) and taxing avenues..
And then, what will Omisore do but reverse Aregbesola's reforms, and resume the norms of PDP rule, viz:less development and corruption?

You got it right mate ; whichever way it goes Osun State people are FVCKED !

It is sad that so many people still don't understand the mechanics of healing end especially faith healing. It is difficult to explain and if you are even able to do so successfully people will still scoff at what you said. In any case whoever does not believe you are free to die in your ignorance when you suddenly become affected by a situation where doctors say no way for you. I have seen God at work . NOTHING is impossible when the prayers of the righteous meets the faith of a person in despair. I say, NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE.

James 5:14-16
Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer of faith will save the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven. Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working.

mogentle: PDP boy. Which replacement? Is it that selfish double-corn eating gluton? You missed the road.

Kindly remain civil. You are entitled to your choice and I to mine. Oju orun to eye fo lai fara kan ra

Brimmie: One Good Term Deserves Another.

One noisy term you mean ?
Being 100% Osun (father, mother, wife, children) I have as much stake in the welfare of the state as anyone alive and I say Aregbesola has been a complete failure who has so far been kept upright by hot air. If he wins I hope he does better next term. This one has been a rule by mass media ... rule by deceit.... . If he doesn't win I take it that God has given us a more promising replacement.

elfaez: A STORM OF WORDS (AND SWORDS)

From bike riding, village touring, and popcorn munching in public, to ridiculous primary school uniform wearing and declaring ghetto gangster status, the two real contenders contend for a favourable place in the hearts of the electorate. I mean, there are those who , on account of the congos of rice and bits of the state cake,would love to vote for both candidates. Suddenly all workers are getting paid, and a month to election day roads leading to the home, or house, of the speaker of the house of Representatives, Hon. Najeem Salaam (which happens to be my radius, in a manner of speaking) are getting renovated, and all after 3 and half years of fulfilling promises of full salary payments, all roads in the state being made good, or better, better state of living for all, and clean water, and of course - employment and youth empowerment. Some have been truly fulfilled-unicef water pumps everywhere, some get the privileged of seeing the place their homes once stood now inhabited by beautiful flowers (Or promises of them), workers are still working, with regular payments being made in the form of excuses (until a month to the election of course), and in a feat unprecedented, our youths are employed, dutifully sweeping roads and cleaning gutters. It's all for our good though. Even the state treasury is cleaner(if you get my meaning) , I'm sure y'all know that.
So much talk has been going on too. Rumours fly around and if you've been conversant with your radio, and OSBC, you realise the government isn't ignorant. Claims, then counterclaims, and argument against the plans of the opposition to make the government unpopular by spreading rumours. Once, the government's O'meal project was criticized and accused of importing food materials like eggs and meat from Lagos, and it was immediately discredited by the government via radio, stating that those are being catered for by the O'meal committee, who we were told, get those aforementioned at the Agric campus of the state university - the osun state university, with the Agric satellite campus sited in Ejigbo, osun state. The problem with this simple explanation though, which is quite comical, is that a close relative, an extremely close relative (not wanting to describe relationship with relative for reasons some can guess) is a student at the satellite campus. I have been to the campus several times, and I can tell you positively that the state feeds pupils all over the state everyday with eggs from less than 50 chickens, and meat from an herd of about 50–60 cows. So we can assume that the government of the state actually rely every day on Jesus christ to multiply two eggs and five chunks of meat to feed a couple thousand hungry kids every day. I'm sure the good Lord would have turned down such contract, since he could guess they would claim the miracle was performed by the O'meal committee, and every broken egg blamed on the opposition.
Then of course the opposition, lacking in reach compared to the government who have the radio and television to themselves, start manufacturing testimonies, cooking up delicious rumours of all kinds. The government sings their own songs of praise of praise for the good work of the governor, with all sorts of jingles telling people why they should vote for the right party (which is always said to be the incumbent). Every time you hear a jingle on OSBC or UNIQUE FM that isn't about commercial enterprises, which is scarce enough, it is about the coming election, and voting for the right party. Even the newscasts are about praising the government and defaming and defacing the opposition. And you can guess what all programmes are about.. In fact, the media is so propaganda driven, and one sided, that the broadcasting organisation of Nigeria, BON, has reportedly issued warnings to the state media, threatening to shut them down if they continue down the same road. The chants, songs, slogans, and 'paid messages' continue though. A reporter at one of state media houses has been reported to have admitted to the fact of popular reports that the state dictates to their directors what they must and must not say..
