High_Chief:
Defeated House of Representatives speakership contender, Honourable Mulikat Adeola-Akande, has said that she was a victim of sheer betrayal, which robbed her of victory.

Honourable Adeola-Akande, however, said she had accepted defeat in good faith and in the spirit of sportsmanship. She spoke in Abuja while addressing Nigerian women who gave her support during the race at the headquarters of National Council for Women Societies (NCWS).

Describing the emergence of Honourable Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, representing Kebbe and Tambuwal Federal Constituency of Sokoto State as the Speaker as an act of God, she said she decided to join the race, knowing fully that she was eminently qualified and capable of running the office.

She said what happened clearly showed that some people worked underground against her in spite of her open endorsement.

The House of Representatives member from Oyo in the South-West said, “before I decided to take a shot at the speakership race, I examined all the dynamics at that time and I saw that everything favoured me.

“Most especially, when we all know about the zoning formula in Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)”.

Adeola-Akande said the position was zoned to the South-West and that she was one of the lucky ones that came back for a second term from the South-West, saying her candidacy was endorsed by the PDP and even most of the House members prior to the day of election.

“But we cannot blame God for anything. He has His reason for everything. It was so easy for me to congratulate my colleague because I see it as a contest. And if you have faith in God, you will know that God will never do anything that will make you unhappy.”

She maintained that she was not going to be daunted by the incident but to continue to push for the actualization 35 per cent affirmative action as promised by President Goodluck Jonathan.

She noted that the success of any administration was a collective responsibility and urged the Nigerian women to support the new government of President Jonathan to succeed.

The President of the National Council of the Women Societies, Hajiya Ramatu Usman, said Hon. Adeola-Akande, found it expedient to thank the women for their overwhelming support during the race.

pDude:
that is called selective development and at the end, it turns out to be counter-productive, considering the strategic role aba plays in the state.

If you want to try the Okija or Obubra version, you can actually download yourself from Canada straight to Ijebu without touching any airport.

For your info, this is an Obubra internet pilot.

muami:
1. What is the definition of a bribe?
2. Is it right or wrong for a government to give transport reinbursement to youths in a country where majority of these youths are unemployed?
3. How much is a return ticket from eg Port Harcourt to Lagos ( including airport taxies) and one night accomodation?
4. Based on the answer to question 3 above, is N150K an unreasonable amount to give to someone for that purpose?
5. Can a money given to someone to cover his legitimate expenses be termed a "bribe"?
6. What is the purpose of the so called "bribe"? is it to make GEJ win an already won elections?, and FINALLY
7.  Are the previous comments to the post a reflection of poverty mentality or half baked education? Otherwise, what else can make someone endorse a useless report about bribes when it is clear from the report that the basic elements of a bribe are completely lacking.

muami:
I would answer you post by reposting the earlier questions I posed ( which obviously you did not see). I urge you to answer those questions and whilst justifying your claims that the monies are being spent "irresponsibly". If you can, then I would join you to condemn GEJ
