* Bakare flays action
By OLA AJAYI & DAPO AKINREFON
Governor Adebayo Alao-Akala of Oyo
State has ordered the stoppage of the
rally by the presidential candidate of the
Congress for Progressive Change (CPC),
Major-General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd),
scheduled for tomorrow at the ancient
Mapo Hall, Ibadan.
The order was informed by the
proposed visit of the first lady, Dame
Patience Goodluck Jonathan on Tuesday.
The action drew instant condemnation
from the CPC vice presidential candidate,
Pastor Tunde Bakare, who claimed it
amounted to stiffling of the opposition
by
the ruling Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP).
Alao-Akala was said to have given
security reasons for his action, alleging
that the CPC changed its plan without
carrying him along and that the inability
of the party to use Mapo Hall should not
be blamed on him but the party.
Mr. Adebayo Shittu, governorship
candidate of the CPC in Oyo State, said
his party had paid for the venue more
than two weeks ago, but the state
government
had allegedly given an instruction to the
management of Mapo Hall that the party
should not be allowed to use the venue.
He said, “It is quite unfortunate what is
happening in this country that the
opposition is being muzzled by the
government in power. We all know that
nobody
was elected into the position of the first
lady, yet the instrument of the state is
being used to deny somebody of the
calibre of Gen. Buhari the opportunity to
tell the people of the South-West what he
has in stock for them ”.
He added that like a drowning person,
the PDP was doing that because it knew
it had already failed in Oyo State.
Alao-Akala, however, cleared the air on
his action through Prince Dotun Oyelade,
his Special Adviser on Public
Communication, saying, “It is also untrue
that Oyo
government has denied the Congress for
Progressive Change presidential
candidate the use of Mapo Hall ”.
He explained that CPC wrote that it would
pay a courtesy call on the governor, on
Monday, March 7 and he replied that he
was in the thick of his electioneering
campaign; so he couldn ’t receive him.
“When CPC suddenly changed its
campaign to next Monday (tomorrow), it
should have the courtesy of notifying
appropriate authority which, in any case,
had
allocated Mapo to the First Lady, Mrs.
Jonathan, who is on state visit Tuesday.
CPC should blame itself for the
embarrassing lapse, ” Alao-Akala stated.
Fielding questions from journalists in
Lagos, yesterday, Bakare berated Oyo
State government for frustrating the
efforts of the CPC south west campaign
because of the wife of the president, by
taking possession of Mapo Hall, Ibadan.
He explained that the CPC was supposed
to make use of the hall on Tuesday for
its rally, having paid for the hall, while
the President ’s wife is billed to
host PDP women at the venue on
Wednesday.
The CPC vice presidential candidate said,
“ They cannot stop us from holding our
rally at Mapo. I’m marching there, not in
agbada, but in jeans to tell them that
they cannot prevent us from holding our
campaign in Mapo Hall. ”
While reacting to the allegation by the
PDP that his party instigated violence in
some states, he absolved his party of
being involved in any act of violence.
His words: “Is CPC responsible for the
violence in Bayelsa? Was CPC responsible
for the stampede in Port Harcourt where
a lot of people died as a result of the
overzealousness of security agents? God
helped them that they have not come
face to face with the revenge and revolt
of the poor. I am an eye witness to
history.
From Abuja to Maiduguri, it’s one hour
twenty minutes. The governor of Borno
State withdrew all the buses that were
meant to welcome us. The people
trekked,
they ran, they came on Okada. From the
airport, it took us four hours to get to
the palace of the Shehu of Borno, these
people you call violent did not cause
any disturbance at the palace, but they
cannot stop anything called PDP. As far
as we are concerned, we are preaching
peace, but the people are exhibiting
against PDP.”
On the perceived deadlock between ACN
and CPC on alliance talks ahead of the
April polls, he said the talks are on going.

@poster. Can u pls tel me d benefits of using glo?
I had start using my glo line when they started charging 10naira for 1min international call to U.S. Walahi, i was happy n was considering buyin anoda fone to house d glo sim permanently. Only 4 me to call 2day and i had barely talkd for 4 mins when disconectd for "insuficient balance". 160 naira finish jst like dat? Sharply,i cald d customer care only for the lady to be proud to tell me they charge 39naira/min 4 international cal. Ew! Wetin! Na China i call? I had to remind her dat i calld a U.S numba,d lady insistd.
Glo is an old man's network! The only thing they knw aw to do is shout: "Akpanu Akpanu! End of discussion! Any yagayaga!" Over the media. Mtcheeeeew jagajaga old man line!

[quote author=mama-gee link=topic=619591.msg7881694#msg7881694 date=1299722996][color=deeppink]This man is talking nonsense, doesn't surprise me one bit!

Nigerian politics has alwats been tainted with election riggings and other bad things and yet nothing serious has been done about it.

How then can we believe something different would happen now?[/color][/quote]Mama gee! Mama gee! Haba! Wht has hapend to the word "CHANGE"? It is until Obama say CHANGE b4 we know we have to change our country 4 gud?
P.S i used Obama becos it apparently seems we believe in his own CHANGE dan our OWN.

*clapping my hands,laughing* Comrade Adam Oshiomole? I want to believe dat our comrade is lettin his vent out as he knows what he saw before becoming a governor. Bt people,wait o! Let's give this a rethink o. Anyone who rigs an election doesnt want any good for the country. He will rig the election,get the power and den worsen Nigeria's condition thereby killing millions of Nigerian. Is that not murder too? Okay, look at the past years of a party rulling Nigeria, of what good had they done to the country? Rather we hear fighting and killings of people here and there. Maybe Our Comrade Oshiomole was probably thinking abt this when he said this to save Nigeria from future troubles.

Lol! Bt wait o! Was Oshiomole ever in d military?

Hmmn. Whiz Kid of a boy, Some of u ar sayin d guy is mad for driving "to gun point". Pls may i ask u dis: Is dere anyone who wud see somtin like death and wont avoid it? And wat is it abt 9ja celebs and car theft? So for u to enter d 9ja celebrity HALL OF FAME u must av goten ur car stolen at least once in ur lifetime? Wt kind of criteria is dat?
For goodnes sake let's b human na. Some of us here ar just too envious of d "small boy's" fame and attributes. If it had been U, wud u av loved all dose comments? Pls let's do UNTO DOSE WAT WE WIL DO FOR OURSELVES. Abeg, 9jarians!

Whiz Kid abeg dont wory,even though my babe may have a crush on u i stil like u. It's nt ur fault dat u fine na. Abi i no see am talk?

And besides what is all this fuss about 234next? The media only made known what Wikileak leaked na! At least we know some lies/truth.
Behind every lies lied there is an element of truth in it sha.

sammirano:
there is noting to be astonish about we all know "PDP" they are birds of the same feathers. I have something to add you the recent bombings in the PDP campaign is just a tip of what is about to befall them all.

hmmm, *thinking* i am suspecting this guy o.

Ew! POLI TICKS! I will always advice my enemies to enter POLI TICKS!!! If u want my candid view abt dis topic, i will say nothing as everything is sheer PROPAGANDA! Nobody ever enters politics without being dirty. Na Only Baba God Sabi whose mind Clean! Bt their is one thing i sure know Dat God will punish the hell out of Nigeria's bad politicians starting from, (fill in the gap)

So because he defaced a poster he has to be transported to Abuja? What if he had thrown his shoe at GEJ? He would probably be in Guatanamo bay by now! Haba! I believe their is more to this than just paper defacing.

As for me o, i will neva deface a poster to express my dislike for someone rather i will tear dem neatly off for:
1) paper machè (as i had to buy a lot of used newspaper for my niece's fine art assignment.
2) if i nid a quick paper and my fone isn't wit me den sharply i tear off one poster nearest to me.
3) i am sh*t pressed and i truly need to obey nature's law without doing it in my pants den i will start tearing off posters on my way to the bush. soothing right? Lol!

Bt seriously, all dose posters are really becoming a threat and nuisance to the environment. I have seen where a whole street light was wrapped in campaign posters! A reflective traffic sign covered with campaign posters.
I don't think this man who have been caught in Lagos as it, WAIT O! Have we asked how the man defaced the poster? With a marker, charcoal or tearing off Gej's face? He may even have been adding feathers to Gej's cap. Walahi! I like 9ja police, they will rather investigate a "paper defacing man " than a solving a bomb blast mystery! Salute to all my 9ja policemen! Any policeman for nairaland sef?

Lagos…. Hmmm…Lagos!!! What a waste of land mass, waterways and resources.

To say the least, it is surprising that it is not the worst city in the World. It is a failure on all fronts;
- Security
- Transportation
- Education
- Industry
- Socials etc

What amazes is that most inhabitants are in denial of the dire need to have a real transformation in this city. It is why they support a political system dominated by Godfathers and the smooth talking representative (Governor) of this corrupt and inefficient cabal.

Have you wondered why no sitting Lagos Governor is ever seen as non-performing? The absolute lack of awareness in this place is terrible and candidly criminal.

Lagos needs roads, trains, water transportation, housing, planning, schools, sewage distribution and everything else that humans require to survive.

Today it is an apology to itself and the world. To see some of the inhabitants gloat in a certain “superiority complex’’ is appalling and indicates that a real reformation of the mind is urgently required.

Which kain talk be dis? It is obvious dat u avnt seen lagos and its people even on T.V! Wt u jst postd dere is arrant , i mean arrant ISỌKUSỌ!
Lagosians as far as i'm concern is the most educated city in Nigeria,if nt Africa! If u want to fool d world,dont try it wit residence of lagos!
Did u say lagos lack socials? Now i knw u are from Namibia! Lagos, d entertainment hup of West Africa! Sing a song and forget to sell it in Lagos by d time dem u av a plantinum abulm and nobody knws u na dat time ur eyes go clear.

Joking apart, lagos is just a mix of good and bad, lemme say 60% good 40%. If u havnt been to Lagos den u dont knw Nigeria. Fullstop!

.

Remixin abi na mi Rixin Sunny Nneji's song:
Na wetin she(Rita) go do,my broder e, wey dem no go talk!
DEM TALK!
She no sabi English but she fine
DEM TALK! Dem say na BIMBO!
She sabi English but she no fine
DEM TALK! Dem advise her to do face surgery!
She be grammarian and she fine.
DEM TALK! Dem say she dey form!

Abeg o! Make una free d babe o! Leave her life alone o! Why una kan take am personal like dis? Shebi al na entertainment? Na for una eyes na go see say d babe dey progress 4 life!


Bt make una tel me,'wetin b d motive abi na purpose of dis koko mansion sef?'

@ ZIM, i have done that but still the same thing.

@ Zim thanks! i am downloading the drivers now ho[e it works for it. pls, zim,i am currently using CLEVO M550SE which has got its wireless card slot empty( i have opened my system to know that). so i removed an H.P wireless card and fix to mine, The Clevo has got only one wire for the wireless connector while the H.P wireless card has got two slots: the main and the auxiliary. so i assumed the one wire is going to be connected to the main and that is what i did. Now when i toggle the switch button ON it displays the wireless light unlike before that it doesnt display even when switch o.
the problem now is that i dont know what driver to use to get it to work properly or have i done an engineering error using H.P wireless card hardware for Clevo computer?

@zim Drill. Tanx. I got d full name of d compaq, it is Compaq presario CQ60-419WM.
It was last installed with vista O.S using the dvd rom.

Thanks for dis post. A friend of mine has got a problem with his laptop, Compaq presario Cq60 notebook. He formatted the system due to some errors with d O.S. He then loaded it wit Windows Vista again bt this time around almost al the drivers ar missing. D worst part of all is that his internet and modem drivers ar missing too. I tried using my laptop to download for him bt compaq official site seems useless. Pls enlighten me abt how to get this problem fixed. I wud av gone thru d previous posts bt it seems so cumbersome 4 me to read. Wud b gr8ful if u recommend a solution. Tanx

Na una know who young and who don grow white beards for Nairaland.
Abeg make una no kil d fun here o!

I had jst finish calling my niece's husband and knwin fully well dat her wife has given out d info, he decided to REVENGE and dis was wat he said:
She has flair for electronics she knws nothin abt,nt even aw to operate them. He told a story of how she once urged him to buy a paper shredder for home use!

She keeps old pieces of clothes and tells him dat they ar still fashionable.

I found this one hard to blive;
she wil never allow anyone cook for him nt even her sister when at home. He made comments of how he comes home from work before her hungry and how she will start pounding yam!

Also how she has the habit of always reminding him of events or occasions to attend for like 1 month before the event on daily bases.

Wel,for now, my babe seems to address every guy the way she addresses me, calling them pet names she calls me. Even using the "bedroom voice" when on phone. Makes me wonder if she dates all of them.

I called my cousin and she told me this:
her husband pilfers meats and any edibles yet to be cooked in the kitchen that most times she is forced to hide roast fish at the back of the of the freezer.
He likes to tie towel around the house when he is not ready to go out even when there are visitors around. The worst part is that he ties this towel with no form of underwear beneath.
He is no fan of football except when Nigeria plays. He is a freak for news and when ever he sees her watching some fashion shows,she will have to withstand 30 mins sermon of why news is important and essential.

I cudnt help laughin wen she was narratin her ordeal.

ATTENTION: If i am diagonized for a broken rib, All POSTERS ON THIS TOPIC AR RESPONSIBLE.
Ew! Dis topic shudnt die like dis na! At least not after about 20 pages.
Sad dat my spouse and i are nt married yet neither do we liv together bt to keep the topic goin, i wil ask my cousin who got married some months back. I dey kom,

LWKMD! This is the most funniest thread i have ever read since nairaland's advent! I had to stop browsing on my phone when in a commercial bus lest i find my self at the psychiatric home! Got home and passed it to my sister only for her to start complaining of pains on the rips after reading some posts especially the "omu omoge" part!
Big ups to the poster!

i was reading this thred in a commercial vehicle and everyone kept looking at of as if i were mad because i kept laughing reading all the whole posts.
My God! Are this one of the things we have to face when married? Men, ! Marriage must be fun!
