peckhamboi: Boko Haram, Pls help get rid of this Pig when he comes up north.

For where? My brother, characters like him have nine lives they use for their AGIP shenanigans. He will be around holding brief for the next incompetent opportunist the PDP 'dashes' Nigeria. If GEJ proves unpopular enough by 2015, I expect the PDP to find another "humble" man who swam to school through shark-infested water and only ate once every 4 days.

Obinoscopy: It was really a bloody sunday. I heard those guys where shooting sporadically and horizontally. Many civillians were gunned down.

Those guys should be nabbed and justice should serve its full course!

It won't happen and this is what is really painful. Nigerian Politicians are relatively safe with the ten Policemen that guard each of them while their counterpart in other parts of the World are using public transport because, in the first place, they prioritise and ensure their Police forces are what police forces should be. Professional, well-equipped, competent, well-rewarded and well-trained.

Adufaye: 2 dose who die.....RIP,Y r u guys insultin d police,wat wil de hv done eh? Hw much dem de pay dem,dnt u knw der hv family,nd bside de r nt special force who hv der life at stake anytime....e don hapun e don hapun,no country wey e no de hapun,eve usa slf e de hapun....r.i.p jst pray der family wil bear der lost

This is the crux of the matter. It is very difficult for a Policeman in Nigeria to be motivated and to shun corruption given the reality of how they are treated. We are talking about the same wicked Country where Policemen are paid relative pittance to risk their lives while Politicians are paid a fortune to sit around in air-conditioned opulence, loot and worsen our lives. I support the idea of letting some Governors take the fate of their Police force into their own hands. It can't be worse than what we are seeing today where we all continue to fool ourselves that we have a police force in place whereas criminals own the Street and cower Nigerians at will.

@Ode Remo and for your question to me on the thread below now closed.

Look, much of crime fighting is about intelligence gathering and usage of that intelligence plus the proactive delivery of effective policing that serves as deterrent to hardened individuals. Awful crimes like these will continue when criminals are encouraged by the fact that they can do their worst with no repercussion whatsoever from a highly indifferent and useless federal Police force.

Their "worst" will always be encouraged by a badly trained, woefully compensated, corrupt and poorly motivated Centralised Police force too bastardized to be effective. If Governors of idea get the chance to deliver their own modern, well-trained, motivated and devoted cops then we will see much less of these sort of terrible crime.

Issues are really very simple because the Nigerian Police Force is an example of everything else wrong with Nigeria. I.e institutions unable to function as they should because they have been ruined by federal corruption, incompetence and neglect.

Of course Okupe is "happy" with his new Status. It is the Nigerian version of winning a lottery jackpot. Folks should ask Andy Ubah disgraced as bankrupt in the USA only to be transformed and "reborn" in Nigeria as one of the richest men in the nation merely through serving as OBJ's "personal assistant". Okupe, the billionaire in waiting, we salute you.

President Jonathan's "Attack Dog", Okupe To Embark on Jamboree Tour Of Nigeria
Posted: September 10, 2012 - 07:34


By SaharaReporters, New York
The Senior Special Assistant on Public Affairs to President Goodluck Jonathan, Dr. Doyin Okupe, is to embark on a visit to the six regions of Nigeria.



He is likely to start with the Southwest, and also tour the Southeast, South-South, North-West, North-East and North-Central.

Okupe, who has received as office a rented apartment at 70 Kwame Nkrumah Crescent, Asokoro, is happy with his new status. He has also taken delivery of a brand new BWM as his official car.

While touring the country, the former spokesperson for former President Olusegun Obasanjo will be armed with copies of a book, titled “Sure & Steady Transformation”, which is said to be a propaganda on the ‘achievements’ of his boss, President Jonathan.

Meanwhile, more facts have emerged on why the President failed to release a statement that had been drafted on the condition of his wife, Patience. Presidential sources said that the President had a meeting with members of his media team last Monday, where he was convinced that a statement must be released on the issue.

At that meeting, which was held inside the Presidential Villa, were Okupe, Dr. Reuben Abati, Patience’s spokesman, Mr. Ayo Osinlu, and a few other aides.

After the drafting of the statement, which had categorized the ailment and how the First Lady travelled outside the country, the aides left, waiting for the President to give the final approval. In anticipation of that, our source said, Osinlu started calling reporters, alerting them to the forthcoming statement on the health situation of her boss.

“But suddenly, the President changed his mind when he met with some of his tribesmen, who advised him against it,” the source said. However, Mr. Jonathan is said to have regretted his decision, as he is said to have realized that he was misadvised.

“Now, he now feels that Nigerians don’t see a difference between him and the family of the late President Umaru Yar’Adua, who hid his ailment from him and Nigerians when he was ill,” a presidential source said on Sunday.

Paul John: Don't believe everything you read on Nairaland. Visit Osun and confirm before making such comment.

Thank you. Is it not the same Nairaland where some say Fashola is "sleeping in his second term" and "Fashola has not carried a single drainage project in Lagos" yet I produced pictures , taken September 2011, showing serious and extensive drainage/ general construction activities in the Bode-Thomas, Eric-Moore, Adeniran Ogunsanya, Shitta, Iponri axis.

Had I not supplied those pictures, Edicolove would still be peddling his lies about "Fashola has not carried out a single drainage project in Lagos" and other intellectually lazy cretins will continue to quote him blindly. When some said "to hide something from a black man, keep it in a book" they know what they are talking about. Many black folks love wallowing in ignorance and speaking based on the opinion of others which may be false, biased and completely deceitful. Edicolove, for example is a bigot. Pure and simple. Yet Nairalanders began quoting his hateful utterances deriving from his desire to malign Fashola. The guy once said that Fashola is hype alone because the "Yoruba controlled" press make a "big deal of him". Anyway, everyone to their own. Those who enjoy going through life in ignorance should carry on. They are merely pawns in the hands of others.

mankevo: Am thinking of the dude that will try this even on Nigerian Local Govt Chairman!

He will probably be shot dead by Security officials .

nikkyshyne: Ghen ghen. Action film. May the souls of the departed rest in perfect peace. May we not be victims either IJN.

Amen. RIP to the departed.

Serious Governors (like Ameachi, Fashola, Fayemi et al) know why they are vehemently demanding State Police. Let the FG carry on their gradualist approach of dithering while the house burns. Nigeria continues to deteriorate ,as an Arena of insecurity, every damn day.

No one sees any improvement despite empty talk and huge sums being devoted to security. Is it not time to sincerely, for the greater good of society, admit that State Policing is an option? Instead everyone, including ordinary Nigerians losing their lives needlessly, continue to argue myopically that Governors will use State Police to hound Political opponent. Is that what is truly important or of utmost priority when focus should be on everyday crime and policing that affects the majority and impact on the Primary duty of a police force i.e the everyday protection of lives and property?

I really hate Nigeria sometimes. Every simple thing is complicated by the parochial greed and inconsideration of those who want things to stay the same. There would be hell to pay if what is written below happened in any major City in the Western world. Yet criminals regularly turns Lagos into something resembling a Hollywood movie with no one brought to book in the end. The able Governor of Lagos says he wants State Police , to curtail crime better, yet a very irresponsible FG , rather than join efforts with those who have proven their competence, continues to look the other way in a show of crass leadership incompetence, insensitivity and self-servitude.

A stray bullet hit a six-year- old girl in the eye. Her grandmother was hit on the forehead. They were watching television in their home at 15, Alfa-Nla Street in Agege on the outskirts of the city.

They shot the policemen who were inside their patrol vehicle near the Guinness Brewery on Oba Akran, Ikeja. Two of the five policemen inside the patrol van died instantly. The third was taken to the hospital, where he died.

shymexx: I don't know all these places you listed and I could care less about the beautification... Infrastructures and beautification are two different things - an ugly/rough place with infrastructures is definitely far better than a beautiful place with no infrastructure and amenities...

My point is, the governor should focus on developing and providing infrastructures for the folks on the mainland - rather than creating an elite based 'city' within a 'city' on the Island... And if he's so keen on creating qn elite based society on Island, he should make provisions for people who're indigenous to those places...

Shymmex, take this debate in any direction you want and it will always be obvious you are wasting your time and that of others because those who truly know Lagos, first hand, will clearly discern that you don't really have a point. Now, it is amusing to see you fall into the classic trap of "mainland neglect" and "Island Paradise" mischievous critics of Fashola bandy around embarrassingly and vacuously. Why can some of you not simply defer to real Lagosians using the Island instead of carrying on this ignorant campaign of initiating 'drama' for the sake of it alone?

I personally like to use real examples that make issues clear. This is why I went out of my way to take pictures of a Julius Berger drainage project outside my door that the liar edicolove and others could not deny. Surulere is on the mainland. I am completely a Surulere man. It was where I landed straight from the UK as a baby. Went to Primary School in Surulere and secondary school before I left for the UK. Now, I can tell you my secondary School is a famous School around Eric Moore road. For several years I crossed Eric Moore road to attend School. It was pothole-ridden and horrendous throughout my entire secondary School years. As seniors, we had to roll up our trousers to negotiate the dangerous 'river' Eric Moore road was during rainy season. Go and see Eric Moore road today. It is the best I have ever known it in my over thirty years association with Lagos. Ditto for Adeniran Ogunsanya all the way to Shitta, Bode Thomas et al. Those are all mainland areas so what exactly are folks like you going on about when you make the false and ridiculous argument that Fashola is not providing infrastructure for the Mainland?

Look guy, what you and others are doing is not charitable. You may not be religious but at least try and respect Karma. Don't disrespect the efforts of someone giving his best , that many actual Lagosians appreciate, for frivolous reasons. You don't know much about Lagos and , clearly, you are not currently a stakeholder i.e an actual user of the Island. Yet you join mischief-makers to be peddling what mainland Lagosians like myself know to be outright, sectional and malicious lies. Some of us have seen transformation we had given up hope of ever witnessing. Comical therefore to read that we are neglected and have not witnessed any development in Fashola's "ruthless" drive to create an "Island Paradise". If you don't respect Fashola, at least respect the words of Lagos Mainlanders like myself and quit this obsession with arguing vacuously.

shymexx: Rich coming from the mouthpiece of ACN who's notorious for propaganda.. I reiterate, I don't care about your biased point of view - but it's a free world, and you're entitled to your opinion... Lagos today has a higher GDP than Ghana, Benin, Kenya, and most of the countries in sub-saharan Africa with higher populations - but what has the government been able to achieve ?? Lagos is still a slum with dilapidated infrastructures everywhere - and the whole state is a big mess... But rather than fix the problem, they're more interested in elitist land grabbing expansion...

Dude, try and think issues through and be charitable. I have heard this "Fashola is supposed to be working yet Lagos is still a slum" argument 2 million times from diasporans who never put issues in perspective. In the UK you live in, would everywhere not quickly become slum-like if Private home owners don't maintain their homes? Are some poor/low income areas in the UK not absolutely filthy and slum-like? Now, imagine Lagos where most areas are virtually inhabited and over-populated with poor folks more concerned with where the next meal is coming from than with painting and decorating houses !!!! Is the connection not obvious?

DO you know Western Avenue? If Fashola does his obligation to overhaul the road, what about the Privately owned dilapidated Houses that line Western Avenue and still give an overall "slum look" tainting Fashola's road overhaul effort? Why would any reasonable person blame the Governor for that overall look when he has done his job limited to the extent of his duty?

Fashola can overhaul public buildings, markets, Public recreation areas etc but he cannot paint and renovate Private homes that, by far, give rise to the 'slum look' more than anything else. Many parts of Lagos, despite Fashola's effort will still look like slums until income increase enough and attitude change substantially to produce a desire and financial capability for home beautification. It is very irresponsible and ungracious not to account for poverty and an excruciatingly large population, in relation to landmass, for the way Lagos looks. Fashola should be assessed mainly through his efforts in areas such as healthcare, road construction/repair, drainage, education etc.

solomon111: The only place witnessing fashola govt,are the island,ikeja and ikoyi.
The mainland have been completly isolated despite the fact they are completly pro-acn.
And most of the so-called projects he claims to carry out are federal govt collaboration.
Fashola represents an elitist form of govt,and is not what lagos and Nigeria needs now.

Why do some of you enjoy lying to yourselves and others? Why, why, why for god sake? How many times will people like you repeat this spiteful and wicked lie that is an insult to Lagosians? This is how you people peddle lies around carelessly ,in the process, deceiving others who cannot be bothered to think or inspect issues for themselves.

I have lived in Mainland Lagos for virtually all my life and for over 30 years. The Bode Thomas, Adeniran Ogunsanya, Eric-Moore, Iponri axis to be precise. I don't even know where to begin talking about the physical transformation in those areas alone that everyone can see and feel.

Below are pictures taken with my own camera showing superb drainage work , by Julius Berger, along Bode Thomas and extending all the way to Eric Moore. I just don't know what is wrong with people like you. I took the pictures below because another liar, edicolove, went around Nairaland lying that Fashola has not carried out one single drainage project in Lagos. I did not even have to leave my area to prove him a spiteful liar. You guys should stop the lies. Whatever your agenda/motivation for telling spiteful lies, fight it. You only embarrass yourself and appear unreasonable.

anonimi: How about learning from my good example and apologising for your misleading comments on this thread

You are a thoroughly dishonest and highly unprincipled individual. What "misleading comments"? Can anything I have said here be compared to your outlandish market woman speculation about Tinubu trying to deny Fashola a second term?


Whatever the truth about that, how pathetic do you look for mentioning it given that what eventually happened , i.e Fashola gaining a second term, only makes you appear like a petty gossip and propagandist? Folks like you should learn to focus on facts, reality and what can be proven. Hinging your talk here on "he said, she said" speculations ,that never played out as stated, just means you have zero legitimate point to back your senseless hatred of others.

anonimi: It seems you and the poster you were responding have a very short memory of how Lagosisans had to protest against [size=13pt]dictator Tinubu's[/size] plan to impeach Fashola and not give hime a second term. Let me jolt your memories a bit:

This is all you do here. I.e engage in speculation, half-truths and , sometimes, outright lies to satisfy your biased opposition to others. Why not stick to facts and what you can prove? Do you remember the desperate lie below you had to apologise for? Guy, give it a rest. Try and come correct else you will always run the risk of being made to look a fool time and time again.

@ Gbawe,

I would like to apologise for the misleading psoition (11th) I gave to Osun state. You are correct.
I was in a hurry this morning and took the # of LGs 30 to be the serial # of Osun state on the table thus using Oyo state figures.
Error sincerely regretted.

rawtruth: This is very interesting; I live in Benue and, incidentally, in the area where some of the rural roads were "constructed" by Okupe's Consultancy Firm-cum-Constructions Company, but I haven't seen any of the "constructed" rural roads. The Uni Agric-Gbajumba road which is one of the "Okupe roads' remains as it was before George Akume became the state governor. The only rural roads that have actually been constructed are those embarked upon by Gov Gabriel Suswam in parts of the state. Maybe God wants to use the "Okupe drama" to expose the massive and horrible fraud committed by the George Akume administration which have remained curiously shielded from publicity and from the EFCC.

We are waiting to see who is going to testify, or has certified, that Okupe actually constructed the said roads.

Thank you for your 'testimony' here. It is eye-witness submissions like yours, if Nairaland is a deliberating Jury, that is most valuable and useful in the search to establish wrongdoing.

PointB: This sad resident hypocrite, AC.N lapdog #1, Gbawe, is indeed jobless fellow. Imagine the loser referring to comments I made over a year or two ago about fellow Nigerians living in Lagos, wanting a better deal. Comment I have completely forgotten (topic, context, etc).

What other evidence that Gbawe is a hateful, vindictive old man, whose job is to monitor MY posts on Nairaland, with the intention of analysing them for his sick reasons.

I didn't even know I have a niche on Nairaland, that 70% of my total posts (I don't even bother about number of posts) is about SW. Well, these are some of the benefits of having someone like Gbawe and his goons following you around like a dog yucking all your sh1t. Well, as part of GEJ Transformation Agenda, let it be on record that PointB has provided job for Gbawe and his AC.N jobless clan of goons! The good thing about these dogs is that they never miss a pellet of MY feaces. They scamper around like flies at sighting any of my droppings, yet complain in sadist fashion that I made them eat my droppings. Bunch of 'vacuous' idio.t as my topdog #Gbawe will call them!

Gbawe here is more of my droppings for you to worry about! Eat this sh!t!

The bastard (according to Tunde Bakare) Bola Ahmed Tinubu (a name he stole probably from someone he murdered) is enriching himself stealing from the AC.N SW governors who are themselves his stooges. How can Lagos state be indebted to the tune of over $500 million and all we see are planted flowers, and rotten infrastructure. Yet idi.ot like you is running around the forum like a headless chicken cheerleading for this clan of thieves. Branding anyone who oppose the daylight robbery orchestrated against the good people of SW with silly tags to silence them. Well, I have news for you - highlighting Tinubu's corrupt empire will also be a constant until the malaise is dealt with. And there is nothing one million Gbawe will do about it except of course document the timeline of events. The non-Nigerians you worry so much about will find the truth, and like the DNC that Tinubu tried to parasite with blatant lie, they will avoid him same way lepers are avoided!

Your god Tinubu is damaged good. The PDP led government are playing it very coy, keeping records and details of these sleaze ala banana peel fashion, to use them at the appropriate time. Keep deceiving yourself!

Eh, pls file this post as another of my attack against SW/Yoruba (since Tinubu and AC.N now equate to SW/Yoruba), resident hypocrite, PointB lapdog #1.

Guy, enough of your idiocy. Get lost and stop making a fool of yourself. On this same forum, you inhumanely proclaimed Yoruba blood as "cheap". You speak here, every single day, in ways that leaves no one in doubt that you are indoctrinated blindly in hatred to the extent Yorubas are your world entirely.

You are totally obsessed with Yoruba folks despite the fact that your obsession is entirely unrequited. You are an ugly and hateful creature no doubt. It is sad how you spend your time here talking about SW issues and posters 24/7 when that unhealthy obsession is never returned. To boot, you are not very bright either. End result being that you only embarrass yourself and your ethnic group serially.

I always wonder why idiots like you are the most vocal here but the answer is obvious. Hateful malevolence and failed personal lives mean you must remain here "hating". Successful and balanced Igbo folks are out there doing their thing while hateful losers like You are here displaying idiocy and blindly inobjective hatred of others. Sad git.

bayooooooo: Gradually, we are getting there! I thought some folks once boasted on this forum that Tinubu would be arrested if he ever entered the US.

Tinubu is a mere mortal and has significant weaknesses as normal beings do. I don't even see anyone who can make headway in Nigeria's political terrain as it is now and be a complete saint.The system does not permit it. There is one thing I understand though: Nigeria needs more of Tinubus in the East, South and the North if we must move beyond this state of arrested development. I am of the opinion all the accusations against him are mere "beer parlour" gossips that amount to nothing. If there is anything cogent against him, I am damn sure by now, Tinubu would be behind bars.

Love him or hate him, Tinubu is a political machine. He led the team that dismantled OBJ's useless political network in the West. He is championing regional integration in the West again while others are chasing mundane issues in their region. Tinubu might after all be a crooked politician as no politician is trustworthy in absolute sense, but at the moment there is no evidence to justify the name calling that dominate threads opened with sole purpose of bashing him. What's laughable is the fact that Tinubu is not even in government! He has never ruled Nigeria and of course not part of folks that killed the country. In Lagos where he ruled before, the story is more of a model for others to copy-in governance, politics, succession planning etc At the end of 2007, ACN had just one state-Lagos while PPA championed by Orji Kalu had two-Abia and Imo. Where is PPA today? To some folks, Tinubu is an example of a man we don't have that must be pulled down at all cost.

He understands the political terrain, historical nuances of Nigeria and has been deft in political maneuvers and actions. Let the name calling continues!

The complete truth put succinctly.

[quote author=Osiris.211]Coming from a paid PDP internet propagandist? You can be deceiving others and lying through your teeth, but we know you don't have any conscience other than the monthly handouts you collect from PDP secretariat.

70% of your post on nairaland is about south west, no? why don't you invest the time and energy you waste on south west to issues of glaring insecurities in the south east? Only a naive person won't decode your mission here. Orji is the worst governor, Elechi is another utter failure, Anambra governor is under performer. Why don't you help these governors with your " unwanted" advice? Don't cry more than the bereaved.

And please, that your " Lagos is commercial city" is to weak and lame.[/quote]I always tell the bone-headed cretin that his "mission here" is obvious to all. He never accepts because of a toxic mixture of idiocy, inferiority complex and an indoctrinated hatred of others that means he talks about the SW 24/7. His talk of the SW, and that of many others like him, is always routinely malevolent, negative and bigoted. He is simply a hateful characters.

A clown comes out to say Igbos will not vote for Fashola unless the Governor starts addressing Igbo issues. You will see many sensible and upright Igbos, happy to get on with their lives in harmony with others, distancing themselves from such an incendiary, trouble-making statement via recognising that issues are about Lagosians and not Igbos. Those sensible folks will conclude that such a divisive and needlessly trouble-making person does not speak for Igbo people.

It is only the ultra-bigoted PointB who will be there arguing blindly in favour of his "Igbo brother" who has submitted needlessly divisive and ugly ethno-centric talk in an area of Nigeria that is known for its exemplary tolerance. That, to me , is one of the many examples indicative of how the guy is an ugly character indoctrinated to blindly hate others, while also supporting his own blindly, to the extent his common sense and sense of perspective is always completely compromised.

Pray tell, which secure man discusses affairs in the home of others far more than his own? Some are destined to live their lives entirely focused on others to the detriment of their own development and progress. Very sad. Tragic actually.

[quote author=Osiris.211]The day afam4eva starts making any sense with his single digit bigoted IQ, that day pigs will fly. Don't expect any meaningful post from that goat. The fool can't even go back to his region for fear of being kidnapped, yet he is quick to make moronicc statements about those living in a million light years ahead of them. 80% of news coming out of south east is on crimes and criminals.

yet the squirrels are here posting hogwash out of sheer bitterness and envy. stop wasting your time on that dehydrated goat.[/quote]This is it my brother !!! They have even made that "hogwash" a mainstay of this forum !!!! I have been and remain a member of other Nigerian forums. I am sorry to reveal that Nairaland is a total "embarrassment" and agbero market full of cretins in comparison to other Nigerian discussion blogs. This is because of cretins like Afam4eva who pollute the place with emotional yet false and hideously ignorant statements they are never prepared to back.

It is time we begin to put idiocy to bed here. Like El Rufai said, it is never good to engage cretins but you must rise up to debunk their lies now and then, lest the lies they repeat routinely become accepted as the truth by those not willing to seek knowledge.

Afam4eva should strive to make this forum an arena of ideas by comprehensivly proving his utterance that "ACN is an embarrassment". We all know Governors, in the context of woeful leadership that is routine in Nigeria, should be adjudged "embarrassing" if they are worsening the plight of their State.

Afam4eva should come and tell us how Amosun is "embarrassing" in comparison to OGD. OGD stole all the money and tried, through the usage of legislative gangsterism, fully supported by President GEJ, to gain a multi-billion Niara retirement fund he disguised as "State bond". Now, that is an "embarrassment" !!!

Meanwhile, his successor has being showing responsive Governance even if this is unrecognised in a nation of feudalists, bigots and emotional clowns who never want to work with facts and real statistics. With Ogun facing serious security challenges, and with the FG failing in it's role to robustly provide tools to fight crime, Amosun proactively lobbied business leaders to buy the most sophisticated APCs in Nigeria to the gushing praise of our top cops !!!!! OGD would not even piss on an Ogun State indigene if they are on fire !!! He did not even use the State allocation properly let alone the notion, like Amosun did, he would rise above indolence to raise fund to combat a problem that is 100% the duty of a negligent FG !!!!

How about the 500 brand spanking new transformers Amosun proactively purchased to improve the situation of electricity in Ogun State? Look, I could go on all day and prove my case similarly with Fayemi and others who are even more impressive compared to previous PDP administrators.

What is totally annoying is that it is cretins like Afam4eva, never from the SW, who are always making stupid blanket statements that may come to be regarded as the truth by others. When you ask them to prove their case, they run from pillar to post. They are always the first to comment on anything to do with the SW. That would not be a problem because the SW is part of Nigeria. The problem is that the contributions of these clowns always turn out to be lies, negative predictions, false submission and downright senseless statement that can only be driven by a desire to only say/wish bad for others. Objective folks not from the SW would admit that it is not Uhuru for the region. Nonetheless, they will also admit that the SW , by any index anybody wants to take me up on, is better off today !!!!!

WHy don't we try to make the NL Politics sections an arena of ideas so that olodos will be intimidated to stay elsewhere like the romance section? Everyone should simply ask Afam4eva and his clownish compatriots to prove their case when they make outlandlishly ridiculous statement. I will give a hint of the sort of statistics that mock Afam4eva and his ilk. Recurrent expenditure is reduced and capital spending is increased, as a routine and uniform policy drive, in every budget in every State an ACN Governor has taken over from others. IGR is also raised in every ACN State as a cornerstone policy.

The SW is not paradise but one wonders why it is people from a certain region always happy to malevolently lie in an empty and palpably desperate effort to show it is doom-and-gloom for the region when those who are intelligent and see what needs to be seen know that things are improving - even if not at the pace that satisfies everyone. Many "first" in Nigeria(Social pension, Large scale employment models, etc, etc) are being innovatively delivered by ACN Governor, very much a minority in comparison to the PDP, yet a clown can conclude they are "an embarrassment". God help some folks and the hateful indoctrination they are unable to fight or rise above.

afam4eva: Why not present statistics that adds credence to your continual posturing of a healthy situation in the ACN political sphere. We're not blind to the development that's going on in places like Lagos, Enugu, Imo, Rivers and Akwa-Ibom so why should we be optically paralized to see the dividends of democracy that's being preached by people like you who so far have refused to present evidence that indeed Osun, Osun Ekiti and Oyo are having good as far as governance goes.

You are simply a joker. I should provide you with "statistics"? Are you not the one who needs to provide statistics to back up your claim that "ANC are an embarrassment"? How do some of you reason? You make a wild claim and when challenged you cowardly flip the script and expect others to prove your idiotic allegations?

Dude prove your case and I will show comprehensively that you are a clown. Unemployment, for example, is one of the biggest problem of third world nations. A Governor provides an innovative solution that is admired by some of the world's best technocrats and recommended as a viable model for Africa. Yet people like you write off such achievement flippantly as "ANC are an embarrassment". You don't know what you are talking about and you don't appreciate that leadership must always be adjudged successful or failed in relation to how it addresses the most pressing need of society.

afam4eva: Put PDP where you have ACN in your post and answer your own question.

The problem i have with you ACN apologists is that you believe others(PDP) are bad while you're the best thing to happen to Nigeria after Jollof rice. Just accept that other ACN governments apart from the two i stated have performed below par and even worse than some PDP governors that you love to deride.

Here we go again. Your reply is total proof you are another vacuous clown steeped in ignorance and mischief. I ask you to show precisely why "ANC are an embarrassment". I expected statistics and relational figures showing failure, fiscal mismanagement , worsening determinant statistics to do with unemployment, healthcare, etc in comparison to what obtained previously. That is how politically sophisticated folks argue and debate. They compare statistics relevant to the determination of economic truths and reality!!!!

Instead the forum can see how you capitulate with the ignorant reply you supply to a question that asked you to prove your case and the misleading submission you are able to make flippantly. Dude, folks like you are a joke. This forum accommodate idiocy too much. "ACN are an embarrassment". Prove it intelligently!!! It is time we begin making people like you own your market-women submissions .

afam4eva: Apart from Fashola and maybe Oshiomole, all other ACN are embarrassments.

It is too easy for folks like you to submit these sort of flippant dismissal that goes unchallenged on this forum everyday. I challenge you, beyond cheap blanket condemnation, to show why ACN "are an embarrassments".

The truth, if you care to engage me, will only reveal that folks like you are vacuous and ill-informed critics who have already made their minds up to be negative because of a mixture of ignorance and bias.

Let me give you a clue before you respond. Youth unemployment is one of Nigeria's biggest problem impacting on crime and much more. An ACN Governor innovatively, and to world acclaim, delivered a model of job provision some of the world's top technocrats are now recommending as a 'prototype' to other African Nations.

Yet people like you come out with silly statements such as "all other ACN are embarrassments".

Look, let us go there. Show you are a man of ideas rather than an empty barrel criticising weakly and emptily. Tell us precisely what you want ACN leaders to do that they are not doing.
.

obowunmi: Apart from Fashola --- there is no record of a "good" ACN governor.

Why do people like you enjoy wallowing in incredible self-deceit? Oshiomhole is doing very well and this is acclaimed by everyone. This would also explain why he gained an overwhelming victory over others in the recent Edo guber elections.

Fayemi, Aregbesola and Amosun , in real terms, are doing well also if we rise above the clannishness that means Nigerians never see what is obvious enough to admit the truth and call a spade a spade.

Aregbesola, for example, delivered an innovative and effective employment program admired and praised universally by even some of the best technocrats who work for international developmental agencies. That alone is an incredible achievement. Yet because of clannish sentiments and a fondness for allowing bias to cloud logic, Nigerians prefer to deny what is obvious. In what continent on Earth has reduction of youth unemployment, for a nation seriously battling joblessness, been considered not noteworthy or not important as folks like you want us believe? Aregbesola, for his employment initiative alone, would be deemed a superstar in Nations where leadership is about a responsive approach to the most serious problems facing society.

You are simply showing incredible bias when you say "there is no record of a good ACN governor". Look at what is written below that is a first in the history of Nigeria and delivered by ACN Governors. DO you guys understand relational judgement at all? Some of you should just learn to call a spade a spade in relation to the reality of your bastardized nation.

PointB: Entire forum? Lmao. This hypocrite don't get it at all. Your post is a reflection of your true self. Even 'non Nigerians' your shamelessly call to bear you witness, are appalled by your shamelessly hypocrisy.

When they read your posted, they can't help imagine seeing Tinubu, with a whip over your head, while dictating your chore. You are a lost cause.

Retrieve your dignity from Tinubu or remain covered in his stench! Shameless old gay!

This is what you enjoy. Squaring up to those you feel inferior to with the anonymity cyberspace affords. Look, your writing shows what you are. A paranoid loser with a life wasted by the indoctrination that leads you to blame others for your own deficiencies and failures. Go and fight those who indoctrinated you and made you a worthless and impotent clown. Loser.

PointB: Is it stup!dity, crass ignorance, or living up to your billing as resident hypocrite to reduce a major ethnic group, with great tradition, to an avaricious, evil nit-wit, whose stock in trade is blackmail, forgery, blatant fraud - Tinubu. If Tinubu is the best that yoruba could bring forward to represent them, then I surmise, the whole tribe need to go back to school. Folk like Tinubu, are tainted good, and should have no in civil society. There are better of in jails. Fortunately, real Yoruba's are smarter than some of the thugs, and Agberos running around shamelessly, a parading themselves as frontline Yorubas. That thugs, and jobless cyber idi.ots, such are yourself, who are ethnically bigoted beyond redemption, are cheerleaders of Tinubu, shows the depth derangement tribalism, and ethnic bigotry, can send those who should know better. A sad and sorry case such as your is a classic example of how education have failed it benefactor. Any education that turns a full grown, adult into Tinubu zombie, is a curse!

But you are too sad, confused, and hateful, to understand that. The way you shameless stroll around the forum branding every opinion against your god - Tinubu, as ethnically motivated, indeed in a reflection of your upbringing. To the extent that folks from the region who detest Tinubu for the criminal he is, are not spare from your tags.

Now to your your pathetic attempt to classify and reclassify me, agbero, na you sabi. I don't give a rat-ass what idi.ot and sick, and hate driven fellow like gbawe, his ilk, or anyone think about my activity (or lack of it). But your legendary inability to understand this simple cyber principle of compactmentalisng would always be your pitfall. Gbawe, for the umpteenth time, I don't give a damn about it. You need to learn that this cyber, posting in other to be accepted, or applauded are for fellows who are lacking love in real life, folks like you. Bragging about intelligence, and showmanship is for pathetic wimps -folks like you. That you are attempting to compile and analyse my posts, is an ample evidence of your joblessness and lack of real life activity. I wonder what meaning life will hold for you, when I am to busy to visit Nairaland. Perhaps, without folks like me, you would have been bored to death. Consider me then God sent, you pathetic ethnically bigoted, Tinubu ar'se licking, hateful mongrel. Resident hypocrite, and AC.N lapdog #1.

Shut up. Nothing more annoying than your unintelligent and idiotic rants. The entire forum can see you for what you are. A sad, hateful and divisive little man only happy when hatefully and malevolently discussing those from ethnic groups different to yours.

lucenzo: This gbawe guy is the biggest fool on nairaland. You can imagine the fool defending a renowned thief, it goes to show that he is a criminal on a large scale. When I see some igbo folks critising T A Orgi and co I begin to wonder if really they are what people paint them to be. Even hausas defended mutallab......to cut the story short gbawe is a standard fool.

Another hateful bigot who cannot overcome the indoctrination from his home. Look, the Yorubas, even if you are from their direct family, recognise you as an 'Omoluabi' or a cad. They will then deal with you accordingly. On this forum, who are the biggest critics of Yorubas like OBJ, Okupe, Abati, Bankole, Gbenga Daniel, Alao-Akala, George et al?

We do not remain here hypocritically seeing the speck in the eyes of others while ignoring the boulders in our own eyes. A vacuous fool like you would not understand what that is about with how you unintelligently conclude this to be about the defence of a "renowned thief".

Olodos like you are ruining this forum and your lack of political sophistication and crass clannishness is ruining Nigeria in general. It is hollow and a measure of your indoctrination in hatred and hypocrisy that you all mention Tinubu here as a thief in a nation where most leaders, including very many of yours , are thieves. Some add murder, mayhem, terrorism, militancy to their theft but god forbid you ever mention them with the same malevolence you reserve for a man who, even if not perfect, has comparatively and cumulatively delivered more positives than most others given the reality of Nigeria. You are a clown. Another cretin long on hate but short on everything else.

maclatunji: Eeeeeyah! Sorry ehn. Next time you should be more circumspect about which one of your "sons" you present to lead the country.

Indeed. Men like OBJ and Anenih are very wicked souls. They go around looking for the most incompetent hacks from every corner of Nigeria who can help to keep the Oligarchic "Business as usual" train moving. These folks will never support a Donald Duke or Col. Umar. Rather they will present compromised mediocrities like Yar Adua and GEJ. Enemy-of-progress kingmakers , and their self-preservation system, are the real problem of Nigeria and not their incompetent impositions ,like GEJ and Yar Adua, who come and go.

truth4meal: Nyc one

Finance permitting, and with administration prioritising efficiently, I think they should seriously consider expanding these social welfare schemes that will keep folks away from desperation and , eventually, crime.

Willzkid: This my dear friend, is the most nauseating line of defence ever written...Even beaf in his sickliest elements won't go this pathetic...

Go back to the romance/gossip/Nollywood section. It is the contributions of folks like you that are "pathetic".

nku5: Honestly I don't give a toss about your party or any other . Why do you ACN people on this site (and I am starting to believe in real life) play the ethnic card at EVERY given opportunity. People like beaf used to say such things and I thought he was just trolling.

Believe what you want. You are a damn hypocrite for insinuating Yorubas play the ethnic card but I am not surprised given the capacity of folks like you for paranoia and self-deciet.

While all Nigerians , including your folks, adjudge the Yorubas most accomodating and most religiosly tolerant, etc,etc, folks like you are here denying reality and deceitfully labelling them the "most tribalist", "most intolerant" etc.

You all should explain the "tribalism" that faciliate the much admired and liberal "live-and-let-live" attitude common throughout the SW that every Nigerian ethnic group is benefitting from. It is never nice to malign gracious and accomodating people , to the extent of peddling lies, simply because they are laid back and because you harbour a historical and vengeful grudge against them. That is what I see on this forum and that is what leads me to stand up and defend my people.

redsun: I dont hate yorubas in anyway,but i hate those that turn blind eye to evil or those that think that nigeria can not do any better by pitchiing their tents between the devil and the deep blue sea,and in so doing,rendering their insticnt,intuition,common sense and education useless.Those that thinks they can not make a fresh and real progressive difference


You come acrosss as someone that has seen the four walls of institution of oyinbo learning,but you are not projecting it here properly by restricting yourself to lesser evil or i am right to say that you are one of those evil people,doing all you can to convince us that you are what nigeria needs?

If you must know,my greatest icon in the world is a yoruba,Fela and i ideentify with men like Soyinka and Femi Kuti any time.I dont even see them as yorubas,i see them as good men that believe in the things i believe in,fairness,justice,hardwork and progress for all

Look, you can say what you want. My utterances are in the archives for everyone to inspect. What I despise is the hypocrisy that make you and others only passionate when talking of Tinubu. You guys call him a thief and say he is sucking Lagos dry yet you are not willing to speak like that about Orji Kalu, Anenih and even GEJ who is doing a terrible job leading Nigeria. Tell me how you think non-Nigerians will view you when you ignore very evil men to keep your entire focus on a man you speak of as if he is the biggest headache of Nigeria. Yet they only see him supporting progressive leaders who are delivering better leadership than others.

Everything is relational. That is what we are saying to people like you. In the case of Nigeria, and if we are entirely honest, there is bigotry behind the constant focus on a man who holds no official position while others are ignored when they are actually using their powerful jobs to drive Nigeria towards the brink of disintegration. Our Nation is run by crooks. Face it. Face your local crooks and stop this display of hypocrisy limited to vilifying Tinubu alone and all the time. Using the notion os "lesser devil", which is absolutely neccessary in the case of Nigeria, you guys should not be mentioning Tinubu as much as you do. What, for example, is worse than how GEJ is tacitly backing militants to take over the ND? Is that not a very serious issue with far reaching implications for Nigeria? yet I never see people like you showing you understand this and other grave issues. Meanwhile, when Tinubu sneezes, you guys will shout that he must be deposited in a hole 200 feet below the ground. Some of you need to get a grip and a sense of perspective.

PointB: Obsessed with you? Lmao.
You must be really sick to think a fellow forumer is obsessed with you. Anyway, if that feeling gives you hard on, who am I to deny you your joy? Enjoy your fantasy!

However, while at it, tell us why your tongue is shameless stuck in Tinubu's ar.se. Is it because he funds your online activities? And perhaps you sustenance depend on the longevity of his corrupty empire? Why do you ignore his continuous fraud, while trying hard to deflect attention to politicians, whose influence in national discourse has waned considerably, to the point of zero influence? Why should we discuss ibori wallowing in prison, or obscure odili. Why should we waste energy discussing shekarau classified as terrorist, and being hunted by security agents as we speak. Why should we not discuss (rather expose) an active criminal Tinubu, who posed a clear and present danger, to the future of free society, which he seek to strangle by his undemocratic, and criminal activities.

Folks of your ilk are clearly ethnically motivated bigots, who prefer Nigerians to chase shadows, while your benefactor continues like cankerworm to eat into the fabrics of a free and democratic society we strive to build. You and your gangs are the hypocrite of the highest order in this forum. It is rather ironic, that someone of your learning would lead such gangs. But then that is not surprising, some of these traits - hypocrisy, bigotry, tribalism, treachery, and cowardice, are genetically coded. That you managed to corner a very huge portion of these vanities, is not utterly surprising, it comes with the territory.

However, some of us will not fail to render the narration you hypocritically intend to cover - call upon 'non-Nigerians' (your new hobby) as many times as possible, it will not change the fact that Nigerians (North, South, East and West) know for certain that the current and biggest fraud in the land goes by the name - Bola Ahmed Tinubu (a man so fraudulent that he stole names for himself). Shame on you for continuously trying to pass off this thing - Tinubu, as a normal being. Shame on you for attemping to reduce this thread to me, and you! Shame on you for leading a clan of hypocrites on this board, shame on you for being the AC.N laptop #1 of Nairaland.

Ogbeni, your rant is fooling no one. You are a bigoted and paranoid fool. You are a hatefully indoctrinated suwegbe addled hopelessly with inferiority complex to the extent you follow others around and only show an imbecilic capacity to define and limit your identity here to that of someone only able to speak as a response to what others say.

When you are not doing that, you are peddling idiocy, division and clannishness here. Man mi, you are a sad cretin fighting a losing battle. The Yorubas are a valuable and respected part of Nigeria despite the vindictive, hateful and malevolent hatred that makes fool like you obsess about them. Better to deal with whatever you think Yoruba folks did to you and your people than counter to nurse some malevolent notion of revennge and "getting even" to the extent you and your ilk are only ever passionately abusive when talking about Yoruba people. The Yorubas, and Gbawe, are not going anywhere soon. Loser. Stop being such a bit.c.h and get a life.
