Lobatan. no be only marshal law, na brigadier law. A more recent pic of the Prof. Muslims are the most cunning fellows of the present time, worse than some Nigerian pastors. She even looks older when she was receiving the award.

Francis5: Selling poison

See who is talking, there was a time in this country you guys were selling carbide as panadol until your sister may her soul rest in peace came to help nigeria. You people even tried to assassinate her inside her family's compound if not for her gele that diverted the bullet. Pack well abeg

the speech reminds me of the "He is working with Awolowo pepu that kiii our pepu" speech during the Anambra election". Naija politics fun.

When Jonathan wanted to contest election, he came to me for support and i told him that he needed to see someone very important. We have a leader, who command huge following. He has a rod, like a Fulani herdsman, with which he herds thousands of cattle. He has me who the person is and i told him it is former President olusegun Obasanjo.

He contacted Obasanjo and the elderly man accepted the responsibility. When one is loved, such a man has no shortcomings. So, Obasanjo gathered all of us and we swung into action. When we got to Abuja we held discussion. Obasanjo said we should closed our eyes away from the party constitution, which established the rotational presidency between the North and the South for eight years of two terms.

That was how we planned it and Jonathan became president. The Yoruba people have a saying that ‘a hen fed with corn should reciprocate with eggs. Jonathan did not reciprocate our good gesture to him.

Rather he short-changed the South-West. Our situation in Yoruba land now resembles the Obinde predicarment: Obinde’s husband died and her people offered her as collateral for a fund with with they well perform the burial rites of her husband.

This was how the Obinde predicament affected us: in our party, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), there are six top positions which zone to six geo-political zones of the country. They are: President, Vice President, Senate President, Speaker of House of Representatives, Secretary to the Federal Government (SFG), National Chairman of the Party.

I need not ask you which one we have, not a single one of the six is zoned to the South-West. That is the first Obinde predicament of the South-West.

The second predicarment is: Obasanjo,the man who strategised and worked assiduously for the realisation Jonathan’ Presidency was reduced to a toothless bulldog to be insulted and chased away. Obasanjo, like the proverbial dog, chased and killed the grasscutter and within a twinkling of an eye, the dog was prevented from touching the game lest it should spoil the meat.

The third predicament is that the state PDP structure in Ogun State was dissolved without consultation with Obasanjo, who is not only the leader in the state but in Nigeria. Again, the party structure in South-West which former Governor of Ekiti State, Segun Oni, headed, was also dissolve without consulting anybody in the zone, not even President Obasanjo. I remembered when we did the party congress here in Osogbo, Jonathan was there for almost 11 hours.

If i should continue these act of deceit played on the South-West, for hours on end i will still not finish. But the biggest of the Jonathan deceit, which Yoruba people should ponder over is that if you count people in top position of government at the Federal level, there is no single Yoruba man. The only psotion that we can point to occupied by Yoruban man is that of the Chief of Staff in the Nigerian Amy and that position is not in the constitution of Nigeria.

Then the second part of the predicament – and the reason why people of Osun should not vote for PDP – is, one: “Chief Bisi Akande, please come out here. Let me ask you the people of the state: ‘Did you vote for Chief Akande? (the crowd answered in the affirmative.)
‘Isiaka Adeleke, come out here. Did you people vote for him? (the people chorused yes.) This is Prince Oyinlola. Did you people vote for me? (people answered affirmatively) Then, let us call Aregbesola too. Did you people vote for him? (the answer was the same.)’

This isthe drift of my argument: we have seen Sakotun, Sakosi, Saketa and Sakerin, what remains is Isakusa (if we count the first, the second, third and fourth amongst equals, what is left after is paper weight. This was in apparent refrence to all the governors the state has had: Senator Isiaka Adeleke; Chief Bisi Akakade, Oyinlola himself and Ogbeni rauf Aregbesola.) That is my first reason.

The second reason why you must not vote for PDP is that its candidate in the Saturday election is characteristically selfish. He is concerned with what touches him alone.

The reason why I said so is that how Bola Ige died, only God knows. But all I know is that he has selfish tendencies. Not quite a while when bola ige died, Omisore got the PDP ticket to contest electio for governorship. When he wanted to pick the secretary of PD P to replace me in Abuja, he picked prof. Wale Oladipo. Both Omisore and Oladipo were both remanded in Agodi Prison in Ibadan.

When he wanted to pick a Minister, he appointed my former commissioner, Jelili Adesiyan as police Affairs minsiter. They were at Agodi Prison together. When he wanted to choose the party chairman in the state, he appointed gani Olaoluwa. They were togther at Agodi Prison. The person being positioned to contest for a seat in the Senate from Osun West here is Kunle Lele. They were at Agodi prison together. The question I want to ask is: if we did not share rooms at the prison, we can’t be allowed to contest any political post?

A similar thing to it is that, all these people i mentioned are the same, except the person he now have as his running mate, Adejare bello. In 2003, all the people i mentioned defected from Alliance for Democracy to PDP. Only Adejare bello came from All Nigerian Peoples Party (ANPP). All of them have positioned themselves to take over PDP and chair the available political positions amongst themselves. What becomes of the fate of those they met in the party.

Are they saying none of the members of the PDP, who have been tendering the party, is useful again? It is like the Yoruba saying: you called on someone to come and eat and he washed both hands, should the owner of the food now bath before eating the food?

Another reason why you must not vote for them is that their house in disarray. When Isiaka Adeleke could not stomach the internal strife in the party, he decamped to APC with his teeming supporters. The Secretary to State government when I was in power, Alhaji Fatai Akinbade and his supporters also went to labour Party (LP) when he could not tolerate their excesses.

When we had irreconcilable differences, I too and my teeming supporters also left the PDP for APC. What is left of their party. The hen has come home to roost; the market has dispatched.

I have information for you, the youth. When we established the Osun State University, we located one faculty each in six zones of the state. Our intention then was that if we subsequentlt add two faculties to each of the faculty in each zone, we will have six universities-in-one. To be honest, I pried into Aregbesola’s programmes. Will this not help us.

Let me reveal one of the behavious of their candidate because i know him very well. If he wants you to hear him when he speaks, he will careful choose his world one by one. If he accelerates his speech to 1000 words per minute (WPM) no one will hear what he is saying again.

I have given you all these reason why you should not vote for them in case of the future. It will be too late so lament. We are witnessing hell in Abuja. It is now left to us consolidate on what we have. By God’s grace on Saturday, we shall come out in flying colours.

careema: is three teens worth all this bloodshed? its tyranny simple as ABC.

if i start posting pictures of what fulani are doing in Plateau, kaduna and Benue you will log off.

this guy puts it correctly.

"Her resignation has nothing about morality or conscience,this is a just a typical british muslim that feels the only people who are truly her brethren are other muslims who are on the other side of the world who she has never met and would never meet and ofcourse the covert antisemitism .She didn't resign over bedroom tax,she didn't resign or over any issue in britain or issues of muslim intolerance against non muslims ,or the british relation with pakistan and continued persecution of ahmadiyyas and non muslims by muslims in pakistan but put israel in the equation and she has a conscience."

He made the comment to appease the biafran side, they obviously lost the war.

martyns303: Any sane human would take a stand against the genocide taking place in Gaza, has anyone seen what's happening there? Have u even bothered to look? It's terrible.

Have you bothered to see what's happening in Syria, nigeria's middle belt, Iraq Sudan etc. Please pack well

God's not dead
Heaven is for real
confessions of a marriage councillor etc

youngmonie: In as much as one commends the efforts of Innoson as a Nigerian car brand. I do not think innoson as a company is ready for that yet. Check the countries you mention UK, Germany france, all their car manufacturers have and design their own technology. But in the case of innoson we are talking chinese technology. Im not sure we are ready for that yet

Nigeria is ready, infact Nigeria is born ready. All it will take is for the government to issue a circular instructing all government institutions to purchase all vehicular needs from Nigerian based car plants. That's all, and gradually, the same law will be put on private/commercial purchases.

It's a dream though because the central government will make more money from imported cars compared to locally manufactured ones because for the cars to be affordable, the government has to give some kind of tariff waiver to the companies like the one used for the Oduah/BMW scam.

But if a car plant is operational, na every tier of government (local & State) go waka come chop in the form of tax depending on where the factory is located. Apart from all that, one of the most effective way for local governments to raise money is by issuing packing/speeding tickets etc

So, how much equity is Innoson or any other local car manufacturer willing to part with, because that's is what it will take to achieve the buy Nigeria first dream.

I hope they will not tell "Awolowo pepu" and "Aboki" that kee their pepu to buy their cars. Person wey sh1t dey forget, but person wey pack am, no go forget. I think i read someone post "We should forget tribalism and support Nigerian goods", only went it suits you abi?

nairaland should just be called biafraland. All these desperate threads aimed at image laundry.

And Men

Apart from easing traffic during peak season (Christmas) which is badly needed, what other benefit can the second niger bridge provide that the current (old) one is not providing.

The second niger bridge is not and will not be an economic miracle. I don't see it boosting investors confidence or increasing demand and output of factories located in the south east. Actually, it will be a life safer. Just imagine if the current gada according to general Adisa fails. Goods and services leaving and entering the south east will be on a long thing (Long journey). So when you hear an igbo man whining about the second niger bridge, they know what they are saying and their fear is real. Oju kan lada ni.

Opened the thread because i saw a cynic thread asking if work is still going on for the new niger bridge. its still on course according to the response posted on the thread.

pack well with your propaganda. If Israel did not have the technology to defend it self from hamas's rockets and banger would you be making such similarities? Don't get me wrong, it's not a fair fight but arabs don't want peace they want victory. And the way muslims react to anything palestine is always suspicious, weird and very hypocritical.

Sorry no more MKO Abiola or Abacha to sponsor y'all.

OBJ lost election in his village because people expect him to take everything from Nigeria to develop and spoon feed his people. That's his sin, he was not bias towards the south west, thats why the yorubas are not happy with him.

dayokanu: So what exactly have you said here Shukuemeka?
