the poor citizens are going to fund the grandiose lifestyle of Amosun and his thugs.
Will they get potable water from this tax on their sweat?
Will they get any healthcare for this tax
Will they get good roads?
Will they get constant electricity for this 100 billion Amosun is going to tax from their blood?
Will they get the respect of the parasitic leeches in government?
NOOOOOO!
Ah pity the poor people of Ogun state.

Be reasonable for once, it wont cost you a dime.

@simpleseyi, sincerely speaking ogun state has now have a new look infrastructurally. Amosun is realy trying in dat aspect.

From being the 4th citizen to a mere governor of a mere sakwoto state.

I laugh in Arabic.

Maybe Atiku should also be persuaded to contest for the governorship of Adamawa state or Fashola should contest for the chairmanship of Ojo local government

I am not Anti-itsekiri, I am only scared of TOMPOLO. He said I should not step Delta state and who am I to dare him.
SHEKAU did same in the North East, you can see I didn't go there too.
I don't like threats from civilians who know how to use guns.

Violence is not exclusive to any particular tribe, now that the federal government is dealing with only those who carry arms, the fact that Urhobos do not carry arms, the fact that the Ogonis do not carry arms does not mean they are stupid. Look at the billions of naira that has been sunk into amnesty which would have been used to build infrastructure, this is fraud. Less than one per cent of the people in the Niger Delta are the ones benefiting from the amnesty.
This government has not been able to justify the billions it has spent on the people of the area to justify the sacrifices the people have made, the sacrifices made by Ken Saro Wiwa and the Ogoni eight and the sacrifices by other tribes in the region. You cannot appropriate such for just one tribe. I think the presidency is heading for disaster in the region and every tribe has the right to defend its own. Governor Amaechi comes from a tribe and every tribe has the right to aspire to be president of the country.

StBlack1:
Bro, when opposite reasoning beclouds sound judgement, what do expect a "man" as old as that to contribute? ..Rather than keep quiet and defend whateva "at the right time" , people like that just prefer to remain dumb as ever and just jump impetuously at any bullcrap that the brain emits. Defending partisan politics doesnt equate to talking like a newly admitted mor'on which unfortunately doesnt occur to them.

Please leave him be. People like that are far gone from common sense jare.

Guy you are making yourself a symbol of mockery. Nothing justifies the trampling of the constitutional provisions in any society/democracy. Mr. Fayose is not an imperial Governor that will do as he pleases without recourse to the House and the constitution. Whether the House makes things difficult for him or not is not an excuse to be lawless. Mr. Peter Obi had it very rough with Anambra House in his first term(2006-2010), yet he abide by the law. He was even impeached by the PDP led house, yet he approached the Law Court and got a favorable judgement at the Appeal and Supreme Courts. Obama is head by the jugular as at now by the Republican controlled congress yet he maintains lawfulness. Bros, fayose should hire someone that is good as inter-party liasing and collective bargaining.

VICTORCIZA:
Boasting as usual! lol
Fayose will do it and there is nothing you TERRORISTS will do!!!

separation of powers definition. A fundamental principle of government, whereby powers and responsibilities are divided among the legislative branch, executive branch, and judicial branch

Ngwakwe:
It is unfortunate that the same rejected Elites and power hawkers that were rejected at the poll want to make the State ungovernable for the peoples Governor.

We knew from inception that the vocal minority won't accept defeat without a fight. This is a bitter experience.

to ratify list of the new caretaker Chairmen and Supervisor that will be swear in tommorow by Governor Fayose without House of Assembly approval.

Ignoramus. Somebody is going against the constitution and you are spewing junks.

Who is the finger itching mod who hid my comment on this post. I asked why this post is not on front page if personal opinions are worth front page.

Olisa agbakoba gave a constitutional opinion despite being a maritime lawyer it flew to front page, an erudite professor of constitutional law gave a contrary and informed opinion but it was left to wallow in the Politics section.

What rule have I broken to warrant my post being hidden?

Move this thread to front page or we should accept that only opinion in favour of the PDP deserves to be there, so we don't bother asking

You should learn to practice what you preach instead of being a HYPOCRITE all over the place.
No surprise there sha anyway. Is that not the hallmark of the Arewa People's Congress, APC = HYPOCRISY = APC

Below is your post on a thread rallying support for Buhari. You could NOT "stay on topic" but rather was all over the place about Tambuwal, Tinubu, Fashola, 2011, Lagos state, ACN ati bebe lo (and so on and so forth) =>




You can save your Do as I say and not as I do for those dimwits in your Agbero ProgreTHIEF Congress, you hear

babyosisi:
Congrats
You both look good together
Please keep other women far far away,no appearances of evil.
Men sometimes become more desirable to some desperate women after they marry
Stick with this wife forsaking all others
Polygamy or baby mamas will only bring you pain and sorrow in the long run

Remember the joy in your hearts this day
Do whatever you can to make it last the whole union
This woman is coming from a different culture and you are the one she knows
Protect her from any family and friends of yours that will want to make themselves an item in your union.

It is the both of you primarily and then children when you get them
Every other person including your parents ,her parents,your sisters and hers are guests in your home
Do not allow them or any others bring you any sorrow

Together we can decide ours own destinies by acting above man-made barriers designed to cage our natural thought process along ethnocentric and religious lines...
2015 presents a unique opportunity for us all to err our views hinged on disappointments, desire to move forward, our collective resolved to hold onto the true values of trust and unity...Let's make our votes count by going out en masse to vote PDP out of power...
Need I say yes we can?

anonimi:
The same way the Arewa People's Congress, APC must go from Lagos state next year.

16 years of expensive, HYPER-INFLATED flower planting and beautification of barely 10% of the entire state while neglecting the provision of BASIC services & utilities all over the state 'is far more than enough indulgence of a grossly failed ruling Party'

duwdu:
Sonala Olumhense is always an erudite, truthful, factual, and non-sentimental writer. This write-up is no different, and I do agree with it.

By the way, this is the first instance of his writings that I know of, in which Sonala would be direct in a belief that PDP could actually be voted out of power. He's always taciturn.

That says a lot, in my book. It, in fact, makes one more hopeful.

In addition, I do expect the leaders of opposition to the PDP at ALL levels – especially at the Federal level – to effectively mobilize and organize the people to go out there and vote; and for the INEC to try all that's humanly possible and make every legitimate vote – from ALL sides – to count.

Those will constitute the stuff of which the beginning of a true political evolution in Nigeria shall be made.

in 2011, majority of the people went to the polls saying 'we are voting for jonathan and not the pdp' they didn't know that jonathan and the pdp were one in flesh and in blood.
Come 2015, that same majority will reject jonathan and the pdp.

Sir, i can't even afford to waste another year at home due to the apparent dishonesty of GEJ.
He signed an agreement with ASUU since last year, yet he has not fulfilled a single of those promises in made to them in the agreement.
My power is my vote and my ability to effectively mobilise my father,mother, siblings and friends to vote out GEJ.
I will do everything humanly and Godly possible to ensure that Jonathan lose woefully in such a way that he would even find it difficult to rig or go to any tribunal.
I am going to campaign vigorously to my people here at home on why Jonathan cannot be trusted with another four years of steering the wheels of this nation.
I can't stand another ASUU strike.
Therefore Jonathan must go..

PDP must be voted out

As Easy As PDP (To Defeat) By Sonala Olumhense


BY SONALA OLUMHENSE NOV 15, 2014

Is there really an electoral contest in Nigeria next February?

Yes, the electoral commission, fulfilling its constitutional duty, has listed an election on its calendar for that month, but it is really a referendum on 15 years of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in charge of Nigeria.

The event should be re-cast as a festival, a celebration of the opportunity for Nigerians to regain their dignity by inflicting on the PDP the most lopsided defeat in modern democratic warfare.


I do not mean that 2015 should be seen as the coronation of another party simply because it claims to be in opposition, but that it is an opportunity for Nigerians to reaffirm their dignity and express their indignation at the polls.

The PDP should be easy pickings, but anyone seeking to replace it should show imagination. The PDP has already shown cause.

Everyone, including the PDP, knows that Nigeria has become the butt of jokes around the world on account of its character as a looting gallery.

If you do not know they are laughing at Nigeria, that is probably because you lack literacy skills, not because you are in the PDP. There is no reason on earth why a party that is held in such contempt for various reasons ought not to be humiliated out of relevance with at least 80% of the popular vote.

This is the report card it has earned in 15 years of malice and malfeasance. [b] This is the precinct not even of politics, but of common sense: if someone hurts you, you seek vengeance, or avoidance. If someone loots your family, you want your heirlooms back, and you want the thieves in prison.

If someone insults your mother, or rapes your wife, or kills your sons, or abducts your daughters, you do not give him the keys to your heart: you want him dead and his carcass thrown to the hyenas. You do not give drink with him. You do not give him a bed in your home. You do not let him gloat about his exploits.

There is no other way to describe what the PDP has accomplished in Nigeria. Under its watch, Nigeria has moved from a nation of hope to one of doubt; from one which enjoyed the respect—sometimes admiration—of other countries to one that is now routinely called names.

Under its watch, Nigeria has moved from a nation which labored under gross mismanagement and overwhelming corruption to one where they are now merely an opinion. [/b]

Under the watch of the PDP, reports are merely to be written, not implemented; a budget just a speech to be read, not an obligation to be fulfilled; and good governance is just a concept, not a principle. Was there ever a report by a Presidential Projects Assessment Committee about at least 11,886 projects? Do the many reports about the rot at the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation have any relevance to the quality of life of the people?

Did anyone ever debate former Minister Oby Ezekwesili over her allegation that that $67 billion left by the President Olusegun Obasanjo’s government has been squandered by the current one? Yes, the government removed Central Bank governor Lamido Sanusi, but did anyone ever establish whether the NNPC actually failed to remit to the federation account from 2012 to 2013 the sum of $50 billion? $21? $10?

If nothing is clear, that is exactly what is intended by the PDP because in no enquiry can the party and its practices face the facts.

Under the watch of the PDP, Nigeria has ground to a halt, even to a fraction of its size. In full view of the PDP government, intrepid militants are taking over Nigeria, village by village, child by child and town by town, chasing Nigerians out of their homes and out of their country.

Under the PDP, Nigeria is giving away everything: self-respect, territory, refugees, children, dreams.

Under the PDP, propaganda is the only mission in order that it might look immensely better than it has accomplished.

A transformation was promised four years ago, but in its place, Nigerians got a Tantalization Agenda. Fifteen years ago, the Nigerian president and his wife enjoyed their healthcare in European hospitals; today, the Nigerian president and his wife enjoy healthcare in European hospitals.

But perhaps what is worse is what no longer exists: 15 years ago, Nigerians could travel around their country in relative safety; today, they are told to travel by air.

The country is in disrepair and in division, but what may be called the future is considerably worse unless the PDP is crushed by Nigerians so that it may be re-invented by those who care.

I do not know who will contest against the PDP, but it is an easy, almost unfair, battle. Between the popular disenchantment and the divisions within the PDP, there is no reason why it should not now lose more than 70% of the electoral gains it held in 2007.

What is exciting about 2015 is that many of the parties outside power can exploit the PDP’s scorched-earth incompetence, lootocracy and abysmal arrogance over the years. The challenge is to go where the PDP does not, and will not go: directly to the voters whom they have betrayed

The choice could be no clearer: the offer of hope where only despair exists, and where the only other choice is hopelessness. This is the time for the Nigerian voter to invest in his own dignity and future. The PDP has had 15 years, and Nigerians who are not dipping their hands into its soup pot know they are considerably worse-off than they were 15 years ago.

The one thing the PDP cannot tolerate, but the only language it understands, is electoral defeat. There is no better time than the present to inflict it.

One approach is to write up 774 reports, each no longer than half a page, on the last four or 15 years. That is the number of local government areas in the country, and they will make clear the depth of the government’s irresponsibility so far. Consolidate them into manageable sectoral campaign research. Contending political parties can take a look at the national budgets for those years here or here. At the local levels, it is easy to demonstrate how suddenly-wealthy legislators are in dissonance with mounting poverty.

What parties need to do is to campaign intensively at the grassroots: village to village, house to house. Not on social media, as tempting as that is, or on television. Encourage voters to accept PDP money and food, but to vote it out. Drag the PDP into running on its record, at the same time demonstrating a clearer commitment to serving the people.

The PDP may well be the most scandalous party in modern political history. It is not the only sinner in the world, but it is the only one that advertises its sins, and pays itself for them.

The PDP is a pushover right now, and it should be pushed. Because there was a country.

The fourth guy (albert)comment is what most nigerians need to read and understand. Gej and pdp have nothing good to offer to this country, even if they given another 16 yrs to rule.

Goodluck at least will take credit for the following;- building an industry of corruption in Nigeria; share, steal, loot and launder public resources with the instrumentality of the Presidency;, clueless leadership, divide Nigerians along ethnic and religious lines, ex militants and sponsors of terror groups being spokesperson of the Government and friends of the President, surrendering Nigeria to the hands of a cabal and criminals, the first president ever in our history to surrender Nigerian territories to invaders. The first president to voluntarily surrender territories of Nigeria bigger than the size of Togo and Ghana combined and with a population more than that of Benin Republic and Togo combined.
GEJ might also be the first President of Nigeria who will be a candidate for the Hague.
