Rails linking the SW, An extensive power project that supplies us and another Port in Ondo State.

At that point they cant shove the Senate president or speaker anywhere they choose

How do you negotiate for that in a welfare state like Nigeria when there is no one in the first six from your ethnic group?

Do you now see OBJ's point?

alex101:

Why are speaker/senate president, things like that so important?

I want federal roads fixed in the SW fixed (or even better, ownership turned over to the states!) and PHCN privatized. Things like that seem more important than senate president/speaker, no?

I am nor sure how pork barrel money are distributed. I want to assume that the more influential you are the easier to corner  both 'on and off the record' projects for your constituency.

We all know what caused Bankole and OGD's fight at Sango last year? If not for Bankole's influence, the bridge would probably not have been completed by now

dayokanu:
The senate President wont be from SW cos we only have one PDP senator unless they choose from NC and choose Smart Adeyemi or any of those Kwara senators

I agree.

Oh well! so producing the speaker would be difficult as well.

Did we not just shoot ourselves in foot?

^^^^ lol abi o "Lagos in particular" lol

GEJ just needs to stay president and do his jobs not do anything in any "particular state"

ACN doesnt need to do that. they are in a nice position. ACN just need to stick to its guns the only deal that GEJ should cut with ACN is the promise that ACN will not join CPC. [s]thats the best and of course senate president for ACN member.[/s]

It will never happen. The majority party always produces the Senate president!
The Senate president is going to be a PDP senator. I am just hoping he is Yoruba!

We the bestest!

^^^

Bad belle

^^^^

Is BS.

How has it helped Zimbabwe?

^^^

Isnt it too late to cut a deal with CPC?


Tinubu and Buhari messed up. The train has left the station, there is no way to stop it now


Sai GEJ for the next four years!

^^^

Thanks! Corrected!

@fstranger: Suppose the offer is $5 billion/year worth of federal projects in the SW and an overturning of the likely rigged elections in Kwara. And suppose you believe that the PDP would not renege. Wold you say no to that deal?

Where is the money come from in the first place?

And why the special deal for the SW?

WTF is GNU. Can we have a strong opposition for once in this country.

Say NO to GNU

IYABO, daughter of former President Olusegun Obasanjo, was a pitiable sight yesterday.
Hours after the reality dawned on her that she had lost the senatorial elections in Ogun Central District, she burst into tears.
The whole scenario happened in her father’s palatial mansion in Abeokuta.
Initially, Iyabo Obasanjo-Bello, the chairman of the Senate Committee on Health, was optimistic of a good outing, given the position of her father as the Chairman of the Board of Trustees (BOT) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
When the results started trickling in, it was realised that her father lost, even in his Ward 11 in Abeokuta North.
“The last result in the district came in later in the night and it was discovered that her opponent, who is the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) candidate, Gbenga Obadara, had scored 102,389 votes to her 56,312. She burst into tears,” said a source.
The Peoples Party of Nigeria (PPN) candidate, Monday Ijaduoye got 27,187 votes.
The source said her father “and others around” had to console her.

[size=15pt]“Obasanjo assured her that she will be appointed a minister in the next dispensation,”[/size] he said.

In Ogun East Senatorial District, the ACN candidate and former deputy governor, Alhaji Adegbenka Kaka defeated the PDP and PPN candidates, Mohammed Odunowo and Prince Abiodun Odusanya.
In Ogun West Senatorial District, the CPC candidate, Akin Odunsi, defeated the PDP and PPN candidates, Babatunde Fadun and Waliu Taiwo.
Meanwhile, moments after losing the House of Representatives seat, Speaker of the Lower House, Dimeji Bankole, yesterday congratulated his opponent, saying the outcome of the polls reflected the wishes of the people “in our national quest to enshrine an enduring democracy for our nation”.
In a statement signed by his Special Adviser, Communications, Chief Kayode Odunaro, he thanked the electorate for trooping out en-masse to vote for candidates of their choices as representatives and senators, stressing that their action, after the initial hiccups, “demonstrates an abiding faith in democracy as an acceptable and veritable path for the development of our nation”.
Bankole congratulated all the winners in the parliamentary election for their victory, noting that losers should take their losses in good faith as in any such exercise there must be winners and losers.
“For me, the race was not a life and death duel. Of more importance is building, maintaining and developing our democratic institution and processes as a means towards true national development and greatness,” he stated.
The Speaker commended the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) “and the young men and women of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC)” for successfully kick starting the election.
Bankole, however, condemned all those bent on scuttling the electoral process through violence, particularly through bombings, saying no nation has ever made progress through such means in addressing the challenges of national development.
Meanwhile, the governorship candidate of the Peoples Party of Nigeria (PPN), Prince Gboyega Nasir Isiaka, has continued to get endorsements from major stakeholders and various quarters of the state. The latest is from Afenifere, the pan-Yoruba socio-cultural organisation, former Finance Minister and a member of the Egba Intelligentsia, Dr Onaolapo Soleye, and other prominent citizens of the Gateway State.

Chief Ayo Adebanjo, who spoke in Abeokuta in the presence of two leading Afenifere chieftains, Pa Reuben Fasoranti and Sir Olaniwun Ajayi, described the structure that threw up Isiaka as “completely Awoist” in all ramifications.
Adebanjo urged all true Afenifere and the people of Ogun State to vote for all PPN candidates in the rescheduled National Assembly, governorship and House of Assembly elections on April 26, 2011 because of their link with Otunba Gbenga Daniel whom he described as a committed Awoist and a major stakeholder in Afenifere.


He said Daniel, throughout his tenure, has performed exceptionally well and as such it was fit and proper for the people of Ogun State to support him in ensuring that the gains of the past eight years are consolidated through a worthy successor in the person of Isiaka.
Soleye said Daniel, like Awolowo, came ahead of his time and has succeeded in changing Ogun State through all round developmental strategy.
He said because of the giant strides and verifiable economic development engendered in the last eight years, it has become incumbent for people of Ogun State to go with Daniel in the unfolding political dispensation.
He said a vote for Isiaka and the PPN would be a vote against politics of egocentrism, greed and bitterness. He, therefore, urged the people of the state to vote massively for the PPN .
Isiaka said he was humbled by the support of major stakeholders, promising not to disappoint the people of Ogun State.
He said having worked with Daniel for more than seven years, it would be easy for him to consolidate the gains of the Daniel era for the benefit of the people and greater glory of the Gateway State.
Daniel, in his response, said the position of the Afenifere and Soleye would ensure “the continuity of good governance, progress and a better future for the children of Ogun State”.
He described the elder statesmen as people of conviction who have always stood for truth in the polity.
Meanwhile, former governor of Ogun State, Chief Olusegun Osoba, said yesterday that Obasanjo was the architect of his own misfortune.
While also reacting to his party’s victory, Osoba declared that the ACN was not ready to form alliance with any political party to win subsequent elections in the state.
The former governor, who spoke with reporters in Abeokuta, also submitted that Nigerians have regained their voice with the outcome of the National Assembly elections.
“Nigerians have regained their voice. Nigerians are talking. What happened yesterday (Saturday) has averted what would have been our loss like what happened in Egypt and what is happening in Tunisia now. That is why the presidential election must be transparent.
“We are not interested in any alliance or merger with anybody or group or any of the political parties on ground in Ogun State. We shall go it alone and by the grace of God, we shall continue to be victorious,” he added.
Speaking further, Osoba attacked Obasanjo for allegedly undermining democracy in the country.
“Obasanjo is down and out. He has become victim of his own creation. I pray for long life for him to witness more genuine democracy,” he stated.
The ACN chieftain, however, lauded Bankole for conceding victory, saying: “he (Speaker) was the one who woke me up this morning with his phone call. He did very well, he conceded victory and congratulated ACN and I was moved to the extent that I immediately took my bath and drove myself down to his house to pray for him because he has done very well.”
Osoba further commended the role played by policemen, soldiers and other security agents during the elections, saying they braced all odds to prevent rigging by some unscrupulous politicians.
Meanwhile, the PPN, in a statement signed by its Publicity Secretary, Raheem Ajayi, commended the electorate for trooping out to exercise their civic duties and for electing the party into the House of Representatives.
Ajayi said: “Despite the fact that the PPN is barely five weeks old in the field, our candidates cleared to contest the elections only last week, and the fact that we did not have known candidates in three out of the seven contested seats, the party still showed great strength.
“And it is important to note that the PDP is virtually dead in Ogun State, with their leading lights as Iyabo Obasanjo-Bello, Dimeji Bankole and Lekan Mustapha all gone down.
“For a party that is barely five weeks, winning a seat in the House of Representatives (Egbado North/ Imeko Afon) is a massive success in a state where a 12-year-old party, with all its might, couldn’t win a seat”.
The spokesman urged members of the party to work assiduously for PPN’s victory in subsequent elections, especially during the April 26 governorship election

MeandSum:
You Tribalism never ceases to amaze me! You always find a way of making any topic "we against them".

"It ain't what you don't know that gets you into trouble. It's what you know for sure that just ain't so."

Although I'm from SW, I hate it when I meet people here , 10,000 km from home and the first question they ask me is "which part of the country are you from?" Shouldn't it be good enough that we are all Nigerians?

Get a life!

Stop stalking Ileke-Idi

Nekai:
Abeg TOH, spend 8 seconds of your time and grant his request. 

I think you's ve messing around with the wrong dudes too.

Why are you all so unlucky?  hmmmm, you need to come to papi for deliverance.

PS: Not only am I well endowed, i started using my tool very early, at 11 to be precise; mostly delving into un-charted bushes of the numerous iya n dagbes in my neighborhood in Lagos.

Having cut my teeth with those mature women, I can say categorically that I am not your regular dude. Absolutely different from the ones you've been messing with.

Again, I am throwing out the challenge to either of you. I repeat, a ride will surely convince you

tpiah!:
You dont mind if the op is in fact fstranger?

You should mind o.

Shouldnt you be happy that I am looking out for you?

What an ingrate you are, Tpiah.

Yoruba people kuku don talk am say, eni ba mo iyi wura , la n ta fun.

I dont want you to go out of this world o-r-g-a-s-m-l-e-s-s. One minute of -o-r-g-a-s-m, would cure you of all your frustrations. trust me. You have no idea what you are missing,


OP: Tpiah is your girl. you can thank me later.

ThiefOfHearts:
LOL abi o, can you imagine bragging about sleeping w[b]ith bored mediocre looking white women [/b]whose only lot in life s driving their spoiled children to and from field games.


where's the OP jare, I feel for her. truly.

Your description of soccer moms could not be more wrong.

You need to see the ones I am talking about? most are like the one below.

Anyway, like I said earlier, a ride will make you a believer.

ThiefOfHearts:
For some, anything is better than nothing

anyway Im not like the tweens you banter with on here, this is going off topic.

I agree with you, but I am unique and special.

Anyway, hopefully we meet one of this days. Good thing is I dont kiss and tell.

ThiefOfHearts:
Keep twisting it all you wnat. The women that supposedly gave you a good grade were most likely lying.  We know how fragile your egos are. Google how many women pretend to be enjoying themselves

abeg go siddon. No be my fault say truth is bitter.

And, why would they keep calling me back? When they have nothing to gain from me financially.

From your typical college age spinner to your suburban soccer mom, I have got high reviews all over. A ride on my ding dong will surely convince you.  Honestly, I dont like blowing my own trumpet, else, I'd be accused of arrogance and embellishment.

Eshin kutupa. . . won yi ti bi 'obo' naaaaaaa

We were talking the other night and you just logged off without saying goodbye,

Is that how Hausa people treat their God-sent soul mate?

^^^

SO you have been lying about Naija guys being awful at s-e-x?

ThiefOfHearts:
You Naija guys are still using that excuse, fstranger.  

Well, this is new to me. I have heard great things about my skills from people of different races and age bracket


Anyway, I wont go further than that!

Hopefully, we meet in person and dispel your false beliefs!

^^^SO why are you running away?
