bomb24: typical afonja propaganda who isn't aware awolowo brought tribalism into Nigerian politics and fought zik in Lagos that he had to.stage protest against him?
my friend go back to your history book..
Zik was never jealous of Awolowo.
Awolowo was a power drunken man.
He fought Akintola which subsequently divided yorubas among tribal lines.
In the 80's he tried to stage a coup against IBB which never materialised; he had to take his own life to avoid the shame.
Zik wasn't this desperate he was a detribalised Nigerian even to-death.
Immediately after the civil war, Zik gave space from national politics and solely concetratrated on the developement of the eastern region while Awolowo was still nursing his life's ambition of ruling Nigerian.that never worked out.
Ibos and fairy tales! Na curse? Zik contested for presidency in 1979 and 1983 for one
Baawahala: He can't afford it. That's 100k in his domain and you want him to shell out about ×500 to get same size of land? They don't travel much because they can't compete. It is stupidity to expect that Igbos who dominate you in your own home can be dominated back home. This is just pure hatred and jealousy.
.
Yorubas don't travel much? When do your drug mules started going overseas? You will find Yoruba lecturers all over the world doing well
Thanksful: Can this man mention anywhere he has gone to acquire land in the south east and he was told no?
You a liar. Common shop u can't even get. They let u settle down a bit and then start harrasing u covertly and overtly. When Ur shop is bugled again and again, nobody will tell u to park up
Gozac: CRA is a goal! It's a sealed deal. He is more qualified to take over from PMB than BAT. He perfoed better than BAT as a governor of Rivers than what BAT did in Lagos. He has gotten legislative experience as a former speaker of Rivers Assembly.He is doing as a Minister of transportation. Odds favor him strongly.The only thing promoters of BAT have is that 'he has made many people '
Better better in Rivers than Asiwaju in Lagos. U talk true. Asiwaju was a Senator too hope u know.
seunmsg: I couldn’t resist the urge to laugh out loud when I got to this part. MoB is the last person that wants to see Fayemi right now not to talk of even supporting him. The author of this rubbish must be high on Kwale weed.
If you want to know who most of APC senators and reps members are supporting, go and listen to Ado Doguwa’s interview. Sponsored write-up like this is just to create the illusion that some candidates have a fighting chance. The APC is already a one way train and it will remain so except the president decides to throw caution to the wind and back someone other than the most popular candidate.
Me too! Infact many senators wore mask with Asiwaju logo to the meeting with PYO. That MoB was there says alot about the confusion in PYO camp. Except ó, this is all a master game plan to see who PDP will field.
If it is light weight like Wike or Obi, then maybe Asiwaju will withdraw for his boy. But a ticket with Atiku will make it a must for him to run.
Safe that, Asiwaju a former Senator will get the NASS majority votes. Being a former governor, will also get him their support. Infact if it by election, direct or indirect, Asiwaju will beat others silly.
And with Dr Iyiola Omisore as the NWC Secretary, forget any suprise planks. He is too rich, too stubborn to be pushed like Akpanudoedehe. That was a master coup from Asiwaju camp
Ayo8: How is this news..?? Container vessels have been berthing at Onne for as long as I can remember
Btw… it’s a big shame to us as a country with our high level on unemployment rate to still be importing agricultural products like Cashew nut, sesame seed etc
No patience to read and digest. Where was it stated that cashew etc were imported?
oladipuposadeeq: exactly the places displayed are privately owned not govt owned and truly if not for the sea port i don't know where lagos would be today even with the sea port almost everywhere looks unkempt. Lagos isn't just it at all if not for the money people make on a daily or business opportunities most people would have preferred to stay in the village self
This ignoramus sef. What is the seaport u keep shouting off sef? Are u so ignorant to know that the port is a federal property hence all its revenue and taxes go to Abuja. Lagos gain is only PAYE which is nothing compare to the cost of maintaining the facilities associated with the ports.
Also company taxes go directly to FG and VAT. So get educated
But Obasanjo was in consideration in 1999, when he won the primaries against seasoned politicians like Atiku and Ekwueme and won the presidency straight from prison
Yaradua won the presidency was in consideration when he won the president from his sick bed in Germany.
Even Jonathan was not in consideration when he won the Vice president and the president two years later without any political base, even in his native Bayelsa.
This is BAT political machine we are talking about here. He is a train in full throttle
Iyadesa: It's seems we are underating the Likes of Ameachi here
Amaechi has to resign to be voted in the coming Congress. Unless a miracle happens and the court concluded the appeal process. So he is not an issue at all. Senator Omisore in ur dreams will allow any pranks?
AntonVince: So, despite the humongous economic, security and social challenges among others bedeviling our nation, the presidency should simply be given as a political compensation to those who have "paid their dues" ? You want to trade the destinies of over 200 million Nigerians just to satisfy the greed-driven cravings of a desperate pee-pooing octogenarian thief.
Oo ni kuure, Ado Doguwa and anyone wishing tbis renowned looter on Nigerians.
Common sense is not a tree that grows in all backyard truly. Definitely English is above you. Paid their dues means he has proven and demonstrated beyond any doubt that he is ready, capable and willing to deal with all the challenges
richeeyo: USA invaded Iraq during the time of Saddam, when Iraq was the 4th largest army in world, his army,airforce ,was conquered in 4days No threat of nuke against Iraq then The Almighty Russia they threaten countries that don't even rank 25th in the world with Nukes At this point The west would make sure Russia is behind the world 30years How many of you have ever held a made in Russia product. Russia is has been leaving in the soviet era glory Honestly without nukes Those Yankees and their marines can take over Moscow in a week
I won't have responded to ur post save for the number of Likes. Iraq 4th largest army?
No Russia made product in your hand? Any US made in ur hand?
Without nukes Russia will be taken in a week? So bashfully ignorant the youths of today. Which war has US fought and won? Vietnam, Korea, Afghanistan? Read about Soviet decimation of German and allies best armies in WW2
sleek214: Way to go. It's funny how some people here keep shouting Peter Obi. Peter Obi can't win presidential election in present day Nigeria. He won't get 15% of the votes. The whole south east votes is not up to 10% in a General Election. So, Where do you expect him to get the remaining votes from? The block of the votes in a General election comes from the north, the north can not vote for an igbo man... no thanks to Nnamdi kanu, Buhari and ohaneze.
“The dangerous thing about this strategy is that if PDP succeeds with defeating APC with a northerner, when PDP would want to field a southerner APC will adopt this very same strategy to field a northerner. Then the cycle continues perpetually. People from the south who are celebrating it don’t see the long term danger of this strategy.”
Truth be told, Amechi and osibanjo are Buhari choice not that compound old fool drug baron Tinubu.
The uselesssss idiotic old fool , frog eyes, drug baron Pablo Escobar of west should focus on sealing his penis urinary tract, so not to disgrace himself again by peeing in his old wrinkle dilapidated body and leave Nigeria politics alone for young people as posited by my daddy Pete Edochie.
Your writing style says it all. Haba! Is it a curse? Generational for that matter. Yeasterners!
festacman: The first blunder was to have engaged Russia out of all countries of the world to build Ajaokuta Steel Complex project. From 1979 to 2023, the company hasn't produced a sheet of metal. Now, the baton has been passed to next government.
And worst of all, the official position of Nigeria on Russia-Ukraine war is that Russia should pull out. It is possible President Putin has used the copy of the agreement he signed with Buhari to smoke weed.
Are the Russians also responsible for Aladja? Mumu. Was America or UK ready to help us and we rejected the offer? History must be brought back into our curriculum
martinslaura: YOU MUST BE A SICK ASSWIPE FOR THAT COMMENT. ITS BECAUSE OF PEOPLE LIKE YOU THAT NIGERIA WILL NOT GROW. SHAME ON YOU. SUPPORTING AN OLD DEMENTED PERSON TO RULE US AFTER TURNING LAGOS TO AN AGBERO STATE. NA U AND UR FAMILY NO GO KNOW PEACE.
GreatAxeMan: According to documents obtained by SaharaReporters, Abiodun's jail number was 8600B9436.
SaharaReporters has exclusively obtained the criminal record of how Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun was jailed in 1986 for credit card fraud in Miami Dade Florida, USA.
The governor was said to have used a pseudo name (Shawn Michael Davids) with the aim of concealing his criminal identity.
The record revealed that Dapo Abiodun was jailed for committing criminal offences which bordered on credit card fraud, petty theft and check forgery.
He was arrested on November 7, 1986, for fighting and injuring a police officer in an attempt to resist arrest.
While being processed at the station, his fingerprint was run through the crime database and it was discovered that the Adedapo Oluseun Abiodun being processed for detention was the same as Shawn Michael Davids.
His criminal record and history were thus cemented and he was jailed.
According to documents obtained by SaharaReporters, Abiodun's jail number was 8600B9436.
In 2015, while contesting for the Ogun East Senatorial seat against the late Buruji Kasamu of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), he applied for the redaction of his criminal records in Miami Dade, Florida.
This act of concealment meant he could lie on his Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) forms that he had no prior criminal records. A perjury offence that could have disqualified him from ever holding an appointive or elective office in Nigeria.
The redaction was granted in August 2015.
The redaction application details are as follows;
CFN.. 20150534571
BOOK...29743
PAGE...1170
DATE...18th August 2015
TIME...04:20:51pm
It was processed by Harvey Euvin, the Miami Dade City Clerk of Court.
A source who spoke to SaharaReporters said they had in 2021 engaged the services of a US criminal attorney (name withheld) through whom they made an application to get the unredacted document and the request was granted.
According to the unredacted documents, the "NOLLE PROSEQUI" indicated in the criminal records was a decision of the police and the District Attorney (DA) not to proceed to trial in exchange for Dapo's cooperation to name his accomplices.
Abiodun's criminal past has made him ineligible to hold public office in line with the 1999 constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
A group under the auspices of Coalition of Ogun State Students (COSS) in a letter dated March 17, 2022, signed by its Convener, Comrade Oladimeji Uthman, has, however, given the governor two weeks to respond to the allegations against him as contained in the documents or face legal action.
Media houses must not be helping frauds misinforming the public. PDP candidate is a practicing CHRISTIAN and known as Jackson. Nurudeen is the name his father gave him like his brothers. But all of them are following their mother religion. Only Isiaka is partly a Muslim. So Mr Jackson be proud of ur name
omenkaLives: The biggest masquerades always come out last to the admiration of jaded observers. But ipobic dolts don't know this principle and were already makin a whole lot of noise, saying Tinubu et al have been used and dumped.
The worse thing that could ever happen to any human is being an ipob member or supporter. Once you become any of those, your brain ceases to function and you start acting like a deranged humanoid.
APC Convention: Buhari hosts Tinubu, Akande, other founding fathers to dinner By Bolaji Ogundele, Abuja On Mar 24, 2022
President Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday night continued his consultations with critical stakeholders of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
He hosted founding fathers of the party to a dinner. In attendance were the National Leader of the party, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu; the first Interim Chairman Chief Bisi Akande; Minister of Science and Technology, Dr Ogbonaya Onu; former Imo Governor Senator Rochas Okorocha; former Kano Governor Ibrahim Shekarau; and former Sokoto Governor Aliyu Wamako.
Others were: Governors Nasir El-Rufai (Kaduna); Aminu Masari (Katsina) and Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi.
perrymike: Nigerians, except the incurably gullible, know this old goon better than he knows himself.
Yes and the only man that turn the fortune of the only state he governed around for good. We know for Enron IPP, for leading the fight for true federalism defeating the FG at Supreme Court, led the VAT to state issue etc. We know him for staying with one party when he has more to gain by joining the ruling party
todugo: The same way Buhari had plans for Nigeria in 2014 before you elected him. This time around I pray that the suffering Nigerians will experience this time around after electing a bad leader will make them to have common sense to recognise that politician are not interested in the welfare of the citizens not to talk of national development. Their interest is to loot national wealth and run to abroad with their family.
.
Not true. Awolowo did it and did it well in the old western region. He was a politician! This is the first time a well educated and exposed mainstream Yoruba will be leading if he won, so expect phenomenal growth.
He pioneered the IPP idea in Nigeria with the Enron project. But unfortunately then states are not empowered to distribute. So yes, he knows what to do and he did it but OBJ as usual killed the idea. That we are back to what he did in 20 yrs ago says alot
