hahahahahaha

flatiyeasterners, as usual, are confused as to how to respond to this news.

Flatiteasterners dont know Yorubas

We Yorubas are the greatest.

hahahahahaha

All of a sudden, abokkis nowwant to be part of Osinbajo's personal staff.
Abba Kyari and co no longer matter to them again.
Na wa o.
How times change!

Afam4eva:
The stations that are making proit re those that are political based like AIT. TVC needs to start carrying political programs live. I think that's where AIT makes their money from.

Yet AIT cant pay its workforce.
At least these ones are going home with a nice severance package.

But Channels is doing fine

Are you their accountant/auditor?

Hello all,

I have observed over the past 2 weeks that okadas have been plying routes they are not supposed to ply freely.

And as usual, they've been disobeying traffic rule - riding against traffice, disobeying lights and not using helmets. And they are fast becoming a menace to other road users.

E.g. the Ogunnusi road - Agidingbi road - Ikeja route is gradually being taken over by okadas.

Is that okadas have been silently unbanned from erstwhile prohibited routes or the law enforcement agents have been compromised or become lackadaisical in the discharge of their duties?

I hereby urge the relevant authorities to do the needful.

Thank you.

Regards,
Concerned Citizen.

LordAdam16:
As I said, I'm done with you. 2019 no far again.

-Lord

Odabo!

May God spare us beyond then.

hucienda:
lol ... free d guy. LA16 is busy saying it as it is while he is just playing to the gallery. Enjoying the entertainment tho.

Which gallery are you playing to

Who appointed the deputy SGF, Laolu Akande and co? Is it not PMB

LordAdam16:
In 2015, this was the Lagos result in Tinubu's own enclave...

Buhari -- 792,460
GEJ -- 632,327

So much for outsiders vote would not count.

It is evident that you are gleefully ignorant.

I've told you to rest the case, 2019 no far. I can't exchange banter with an ignorant fellow.

-Lord

Yoruba Christians were largely divided between Osinbajo and GEJ.

Had I voted at the time, I would have voted GEJ. And there were many folks like me who just didnt want an 'abokkkki'. We didnt see this scenario playing out.

Non Yoruba votes in Lagos will not count if Osinbajo decides to contest as sitting president.

Now take that to the bank.

LordAdam16:
As if una get choice.

And yea, u guys are not wishing him dead, because everyone in Nigeria is a toddler ba.

Guy, rest the case, make we dey look.

-Lord

The choice we have is Osinbajo seeking a fresh term in the event of a PMB demise. But we dont wish PMB dead!

LordAdam16:
Will Yoruba muslims vote for Osinbajo instead of a Northerner who wants to complete 4 years? Will Other Southern residents of the SW vote for Osinbajo over their own SE VP?

Look at the stats and don't think out of your a$$.

Tinubu is getting more powerful? Is that a joke.

Let me give you an assignment. Find out the number of states Tinubu controlled in 2011 versus the number he controls now.

[s]He couldn't even get his candidate to win primaries in Kogi and Ondo. And you call him powerful? He asked the Chairman of the party to resign, and no one batted an eyelid. Any you call him powerful?

His stooge Lawal was thrown out for N270m corruption, whereas Kyari with his N500m case is still in the Presidency.[/s]

You must have a very different definition of powerful.

You are delusional. It's no use replying you.

Let's all wait and see how it plays out. No need to exchange banter. 2019 na just 2 years from now.

-Lord

Yes, Yoruba muslims will vote for Osinbajo, Yorubas place tribe over religion.

Outside Lagos and Ogun, non Yorubas are insignificant in voting population. Even in Lagos, they won't pose a threat. They will be cleverly dealt with and prevented from doing so. Their votes wont count!

@bolded
All that was before Osinbajo became acting president.
Dont be a dullard!

Ambode has gotten the nod to reconstruct the airport road. Something Fashola wanted to politicise. Are you still in doubt

LordAdam16:
You did not answer the question, would you allow him to use the SW slot.

If you know he can never be given because he is not from the SW. Then why are you counting him among the SW officers in the current government?

You are very confused.

Everyone in the south was cool with Buhari/Idiagbon until they proved to be calamitous. It doesn't mean Idiagbon used the SW slot.

GEJ did not marginalize Yorubas. You voted against GEJ because your patron Tinubu wanted a VP position. He didn't get it. And the stooge Osinbajo can only ever be a Acting President. That is his ceiling.

And this nonsense white-washing in the media would not sell. Get that into your skull. If you guys want to continue, keep at it. I can't blame you guys for not trying. But be prepared for the expected outcome.

Buhari is not even dead yet, and you guys are already claiming 1/2 position and talking about Osinbajo contesting in 2019. E go shock una.

-Lord

You appear to be bright. But you are actually very dull, just like GEJ. No offence!

I have been touting Yoruba and not SW all the while. Yoruba is more than the SW!

And not everybody from the SW is Yoruba!!

This is the turn of the north and we are okay with Osinbajo acting as president all through the period as long as he can take actions that can cause you guys so much unnecessary self-inflicted pain

Yorubas will gladly back PMB for a second term. We shall make him run at all cost and his cult followers will back him up as always.

Nobody is wishing PMB dead!!

LordAdam16:
Sheath my sword.

It has already begun fella.

Osinbajo was one of the people who convinced the KSG to drop the probe. Others were Dangote and Dantata and some Northern Elite. The curious thing is why did Osinbajo join the foray? He exposed himself.

We all know Osinbajo cannot get more than 50% in the SW. He wouldn't even become the flag-bearer in APC as we know it in 2019.

Moreover, Buhari is recuperating in London and is set to return this month, so no road for Osinbajo, okay.

All of this is mainly to pocket whatever influence he thinks he is garnering by putting a kibosh on the Yoruba media that has been on full drive. If Tinubu can be cut to size, it is now Osinbajo with all his antecedents in the Lagos government.

Guy, don't try to be funny.

-Lord

Who is cutting Tinubu to size The same Tinubu that is getting more powerful by the day

Osinbajo cant win 50% of SW votes

Who made you this deluded

LordAdam16:
I've exposed your lies, now, you are saying who am I to decide for the Yorubas.

You said GEJ marginalized the SW. Then when I showed you what the SW got compared to other Southern regions under GEJ, you start bleating uncontrollably.

GEJ did not marginalize the SW. Na greed go arrange una.

You say all Yorubas are Yorubas irrespective of region. So let me ask you, would the SW give their next presidential slot to Saraki who is from the NC?

Just look at how you are disgracing yourself.

So, it is no longer about tribe now, it is gender.

You cannot prove that GEJ marginalized SW, yet you used a strong word that he was trying to annihilate you guys, you have a very big problem.

-Lord

Like I always say, your opinions are not worth more than a used sanitary towel.

GEJ marginalised Yorubas and we booted him out. Period!

I would choose Saraki over any non Yoruba anytime anyday.

SW slot can never be given to Saraki because Saraki is not from the SW.

When Idiagbon was deputy to GMB, Yorubas were cool with it. We didnt care if he was from the NC.

As regards Mulikat, the north had the aces. If they had backed Mulikat, she would have won. But they just didnt want a woman ruling them!

How is that difficult for you to understand

LordAdam16:
Tinubu was the reason GEJ didn't get more than 45% in the SW, compared to the 70% he got in 2015. So, I have to mention his name. And it was because he wanted to be VP aspirant. Greed instead of practicality.

It is all around the politico-sphere, so don't feign ignorance.

And for the lie you just brazenly told, which I rightly canceled, this is the response:

Compare what the SW got to what other regions in the South got in each legislative house?

So, when I say Yoruba's position in 2015 was about Tinubu's VP aspiration, I know what I am saying.

A Yoruba person is a Yoruba person. Whether man or woman. If GEJ nominated a Yoruba person, then what is the basis for your call of marginalization?

-Lord

How dare you compare nos 1/2, 3, 6, House Leader and Chief Whip to the rubbish list you have up there

Are you okay

Who are you to decide what is okay by Yorubas

No tribe, not even the Hausa/Fulani, have ever had it this good!

Northerners will never have a woman rule over them in the HoR!!

temitemi1:
you mean coordinator

Oniranu ni e!

Ba ra e da soun!!

Coordinator kor, coordinator ni!!!

LordAdam16:
The story of gross marginalization of Yorubas by GEJ is a fallacy.

The Agriculture Minister was a Yoruba man, who GEJ and NOI endorsed for the AfDB election.

What nonsense are you yapping about.

Is there a road he refused to fund in the SW. A rail project he refused to give accent to. Did he forego the SW ports for another regions port? Did he hound your political heavyweights?

GEJ chased after Ibori, his own kinsman and left Tinubu. Many in his own region have not forgiven him for that.

So what marginalization are you talking about?

You are free to support whoever you like, but never bring up absurdities.

Tinubu did not support GEJ in 2015 because he had an arrangement with Buhari to be the APC VP aspirant. He felt he had his region on lock-down, was already making in-roads into other regions, and felt he should take a shot at the Vice Presidency. It had nothing to do with marginalization. And you all waltzed over to the other side for that reason. Don't say nonsense about marginalization.

-Lord

Look, I'm no expert in digging up facts backing my points. Some other person will do that.
I guess you have seen this thread:
https://www.nairaland.com/745731/yoruba-marginalization-elders-met-jonathan

And they met him over and over again to complain. But he did nothing about it and promised to do so after the elections when he was campaigning in the SW.

What did he take us for? Such a dumbass!

Tinubu and co didn't complain. They simply strategised how to boot him out, which they achieved, thanks to his dull nature.

LordAdam16:
There is no time in this country and elsewhere, where the President decides who works with the VP. Even as docile as Sambo, GEJ did not do it.

Of course, it is a Presidential appointment, and the state house would issue the appointment letter after all the VP's office is under the State House, but it is the VP that chooses who he prefers to work with.

Buhari would not go pick a person Osinbajo barely knows and enforce it on Osinbajo. Even Ministers get to decide who works in agencies under their Ministry, not to talk of the VP deciding who works in his office. That is his kitchen cabinet for crying out loud. He'd want loyalists especially in a bi-polar party like APC with many rival sub-sections.

If that was not the case, how would VPs compensate their boys who worked for their election? This is Nigeria, stop sounding clever than half.

-Lord

Well, what something should be may not necessarily be what it is.

PMB appointed the Deputy SGF and others and succumbed them to Osinbajo. That is the fact!

ephi321:
Cough. Now it's the PVC. hmm.

For your second point, there is no evidence to that, back up your claims, annihilate is a strong word.
I can't even compare appointments made during that period to the whole Northernocracy going on right now, so basically we've gone from frying fan into a blazing fire.

@bolded
Are you doubting me?

LordAdam16:
Uhm!

It was you guys that sold your right to Speaker of the House of Representatives for peanut.

And Tinubu under GEJ was more influential than he is today.

GEJ would have handed over to a NW/SW joint ticket. So your conspiracy theory of annihilating Yorubas politically is incorrect.

The only people he had with in Yoruba land were those in the Tinubu camp who were desirable partners in 2011, but shifted camp in 2015 because they felt Tinubu would get the VP slot.

Under GEJ, the only SE in the direct line of succession was Ekweremadu, they weren't screaming about annihilation.

Today, you guys only have Osinbajo. Saraki is representing the NC.

There is nothing you guys are gaining now, that you weren't gaining under GEJ, so re-evaluate your stand. SW roads, ports, airports were given consideration. The ACN, the foremost SW regional party was allowed to fester even into the President's region.

In 2019, if Buhari doesn't run, the next Northerner would choose someone from the SE preferably. PDP already has the same arrangement. Osinbajo can go form a new party with Tinubu like Buhari did with CPC to run for presidency, heaven knows he wouldn't win more than 50% of the vote in Yoruba land. In other regions, a fowl would get more votes than him.

What you guys have right now is a 4 year pyrrhic victory where your foremost political icon has been cut to size and where your most senior political official is nothing but a local champion. I hope the collection of nepotist VP appointments will be worth it in 2019.

-Lord

There we go again!

Dont you ever get tired of these your useless conspiracy theories

Tinubu this, Tinubu that...Well, I understand, Tinubu booted GEJ out.

Let Osinbajo restore the economy to May 29, 2015 or anything near it economically, and let's see if he wont win in 2019.

Yoruba is Yoruba, whether SW or NC.

Yorubas are in nos 1/2, 3, 6, Senate Chief Whip, House Leader.

We never had anything close in GEJ's era.

Also why did GEJ nominate a Yoruba lady rather than a Yoruba man to be speaker. What happened to learning from the Etteh example

A Yoruba man (Muraina Ajibola) would easily have emerged speaker. The northern caucus were okay with him.

ephi321:
You were an "ardent GEJ fan" but you voted PMB and still flayed him minutes ago. Not nice.

First time I am hearing GEJ wanting to annihilate Yorubas. How? When? Where?

I didnt vote! I couldnt get my PVC!!

Yes, GEJ wanted to annihilate Yorubas politically. He gave us a prelude of what to expect in his first term when Yorubas were grossly marginalised on all fronts.

hmn

Okay sir

LordAdam16:
Deliberately mischievous? That's you fella.



So the president would assign principal officers to Osinbajo in the VP office?

Can you read what you type, or do you think we are kids here.

Don't insult anyone's sensitivity here. That's worse than using expletives.

-Lord

@bolded
That was what happened! PMB appointed Laolu Akande, Babafemi Ojudu and co and seconded them to Osinbajo.
Why is your memory so short

May God help Professor Yemi Osinbajo restore Nigeria to May 29, 2015 economically.

Some people are seriously praying at the background - Baba and co.

Honestly, PMB does not have to die. He just needs to allow Osinbajo rule as he is currently doing.

Nigerians are very okay with the arrangement.

LordAdam16:
They are not mere speculations. You can verify yourself and make your own writeup of the truth.

When Northerners do it with the SSS recruitment and other appointments, we cry foul, then when we do it, we remember they are intellectually-disadvantaged. That's not the way to run a country.

Chastise everyone even if the person is your brother, so that you have a precedence to chastise someone else and the person would listen to you. You can't give reasons for Osinbajo's nepotism and then when the North does it tomorrow, you'll say it's wrong. You've lost all credibility at that point.

This is one of the reasons why the country isn't progressing. No one wants to extend the olive leaf first. Everyone is just waiting their turn to do same and at the end of the day we are comfortable to gossip about it in the pubs and social gatherings.

What Osinbajo did is wrong. If Atiku and GEJ can appoint people not from their region, why can't Osinbajo? This is common sense. If you guys claim he is better than Buhari, why do the same things Buhari would do.

-Lord

Why are you being deliberately mischievous?

PMB made most of those appointments himself and assigned the appointees to Osinbajo!

ahn ahn!!

ephi321:
See how you silently side stepped the question

You obviously voted for PMB and yet thoroughly flayed him just minutes ago. There is nothing wrong with standing by your decision. Let people know where you stand regardless of the consequences.

As for the North, karma keeps dealing with them. Despite the power they've had over the decades, they still have the least development.

It will surprise you that I used to be an ardent GEJ fan.

But when it dawned on me that he was actually scheming to completely annihilate we Yorubas politically all the while, I changed. That was in 2016.

If GEJ had won a second term, Yorubas would have been politically doomed. We'd be lucky if we had the position of deputy speaker.

TonyeBarcanista:
Going by your logic, you really think Urhobo +Itsekiri + Edo people could give you majority in SS that include Ijaw and Delta North in Delta state alone + Bayelsa + Rivers + Akwa Ibom + Cross River? Lol

I guess you don't know that the predominant domination in SS is Anglican (Rivers/Bayelsa) and African Churches (Aks + Crs) + handful of Pentecostals scattered around other places.

In SE, Catholics + Anglicans called the shot, while Chosen and other Igbo led GOs churches calls the shot among Pentecostals. How many are RCCG loyalists? How many among RCCG loyalists are fanatics?

Middlebelt? I'm sure you aren't counting Igalas and those Muslims population even in Kwara state (you kno Saraki na). Which middlebelt BTW? Even if I concede the WHOLE six NC to you it still won't be up to 50% of NW alone, not to talk of adding NE.

Fact is that the opposition will present a credible NORTHERNER and paired with a credible Southerner (I prefer SE) and the deal is done!!!!


I welcome Osinbajo to the contest... Expect the worst defeat ever

I expect Christians all over the country to rally round Osinbajo, a pastor and fellow brother, should he decide to contest in 2019 in the event of PMB failing to contest.

In 2015, it was a case of Christian (Osinbajo) vs Christian (GEJ). However, Christians found Osinbajo a better, trustworthier Christian than GEJ.
CAN was seriously divided.

Then Yorubas will support their own. Saraki will never betray his Yoruba brother neither will Dino Melaye!

Non religious-biased SS/SEasterners will be divided evenly.

The only thing can hinder Osinbajo is non-performance in his current time as acting president. And I see him overcoming that challenge by God's grace.

If Osinbajo can return the nation to how it was economically in May 29, 2015 or anything near it, he will win by a landslide in 2019.

ephi321:
But I bet you voted for PMB! Lol.

Jokes apart, people had really high expectations for PMB and he's just blown them out of the window. The North at the same time doesn't want to relinquish power meanwhile they consistently fail to use the power for any good (of their region or the wider country).

We are at a crossroad right now and only time will tell what direction things will take.

That's why we Yorubas are okay with PMB being president AWOL while Osinbajo acts all the way since it's the 'turn' of the north.

TonyeBarcanista:
The NOrth, SE and SS will NOT support Osinbajo. That's one truth you must appreciate

North - exclude the middle belt and predominantly Yoruba and Christian areas.

SE - exclude staunch RCCG members

SS - exclude staunch RCCG members and Edo/Itsekiri/Urhobo people

Papertrail11:
even if he has Nada to offer

are u aware the short orangutan is the head of economic chairperson as conferred by him in the constution and yet he hasn't made any groundbreaking reforms

@bolded
Very wrong!

PMB made him so, not the constitution. And he wasnt really allowed to perform by the cabal surrounding PMB.
