They all supported Buhari.

Wale Tinubu, Dangote, Femi Otedola only played their card to their chest.

I was having a chat with someone closed to them and he revealed all that far back February.


Femi Otedola was once going round his office and asking his staff who they will vote for. Knowing him to be GEJ's friend and in other not to offend his Oga, he said he would vote for GEJ. Femi scolded the guy.

Wale Tinubu openly supported Buhari. He provided the Private Jet that Buhari used for his entire campaign,,,,thats why Muazu and Okupe accussed Wale Tinubu of causing Petrol scarcity a few weeks ago

Yoruba boy is never gonna be recognise

1st and foremost, we should all be grateful for that man you are all deriding as he is actually going to run the govt quietly behind and Buhari will be the Face of the govt. A lot of people do not and seriously underestimate the pedigree and capabilities of Prof. He is our own Obama....Articulate; Intelligent; Successful in Public and Priviate Life; without Blemish in any area of his life that he had functioned or worked...UN can vouch for him; Academic community can vouch for him; Civil service can vouch for him; Civil Society can vouch for him (was wt Transperency Int for years). Totally exemplary in Public and Private life...Christian community can vouch for him.....PDP could not find 1 single item to mudsling him with... His CV speaks volumes and he's actually the most prepared of all the 4 (GEJ; Buhari; Sambo)

Please respect and give him his dues as he is the man upon whom the reshaping of Nigeria is going to be thrust upon

Na today we don dey stand inside plane? Just take it from me that it happened way back 1991...Kaduna to Kano. (3 stood by the toilet including a Air hostess on leave, then sat on the floor when the plane was about to land)
On the same flight, a former military governor of a northern state sat with 2 of his aides on 2 seats meaning 3 of them shared 2 seats

Damage control thread.

After the expose of dilapidated Ago Palace Road and other bad roads in Lagos, the Tinubu/Fashola cocsu.ckers are now run around like headless chickens.

Shame all you all.

Ago Palace Way will remain dilapidated as long as the Resident who took Lagos State to court remains adamant.

Fashola has visited this road severally and mentioned to the hearing of the residents to prevail on the one who took govt to court to enable them complete.

Its as simple as that

thunder74:
After reading this so called affidavit, this is my conclusion;
1. The court or notary office where the affidavits was sworn was not stated.
2. If the PDP was to rig Osun election, Rauf will not win.
Let me reveal what most you don't know about rigging, you will notice that APC was/is the only party complaining of too much "invigilation/supervision of the election.
From available reports, the army did not harass anybody,infact people and observers were happy the soldiers were on ground to prevent election violence, rigging, ballot snatching and thuggery.
You will observe also that APC does not want soldiers to prevent the above, they got a judgement from Sokoto to stop government from deploying army for election, press did not publish it because press men are comfortable with the army on ground.

From reliable source, all the mercenaries APC brought from other states to vote in Ekiti were prevented from entering the state in the night. Because of this Ekiti experience, one of my friends from Lagos was transported and lodged with others in an hotel in Osun for about 4 to 5 days before election day to beat the security. He voted for APC.

If you read the bolded above, SS and SW are states where Jonathan is likely to have more votes and this was to prepare our minds against the result so that even if he won in these states, we should conclude they are rigged. Why not northern states where Jonathan is not popular?
Read the confessions again and again, you will notice inconsistencies, he was spotted as a mole and yet was still given instructions and roles to play.
Army were deployed in Edo, APC won, deployed in Osun, APC won, in Ondo LP won, in Anambra, APGA won and when PDP won in Ekiti, we accused army rigging. God gave us brain to think deep.

God gave us brain to think deep....i agree with you. In Ondo, it was not abt PDP winning, it was abt APC losing even though they had a very weak candidate who wld never have beaten Mimiko in a fair race. In Anambra, it was not abt PDP winning, it was about Ngige not winning. Edo and Osun could not be won because the citizens had been sensitized and forewarned and they monitired their ballots from begining to end. That is why INEC has told us to all bring our camera phones to polling booths to record goings on.

The way of winning election in 2015 is clear and we saw it happen in Anambra. It is called "Back end" Rigging and its also commonsense

(1) Misspell my name of the voters register that will be used on election day (forget about the so called card readers, they are likely to malfunction from past experience)

(2) Destroy voters data so as to disenfranchise them.....remember that Gov Fashola might not be able to vote as his name was among the missing data of 1.8 million voters in Surulere and Alimosho local govts in Lagos (APC strong hold, in fact, Alimosho has d highest number of voters in lagos wt Shomolu and Surulere following) Same was done in Ngige's local govt during Anambra elections

(3) Front end rigging is easily exposable these days because of social media, cameras, recording devices etc but back end rigging requires forensic investigation.

Having said all that, goodluck to whatever is left of Nigeria after these elections. If GEJ wins, its just for worse as we have seen his incompetence. If Buhari wins, too much uncertainty as teh National Assembly wiill cripple his govt and his 4 years will leave a bad taste in the mouth of Nigerians, so, we are all losers until we show our citizens might by (1) Ensuring this tape goes to court and let all the parties come and defend themselves in court (2) Revert to Option A4 where we stand behind our candidates and we all count together, afterall, there are only 500 people per polling unit, that will not take up to 1 hour to count

Lets look at this Audio tape objectively without bn partisan and only have the love of our country in mind

(1) Direct proof of the President's involvement is questionable as any body can drop his name to have the upper hand

(2) We, Nigerians need to clip the wings of our politicians as they do not understand they are there to serve us. Their EGO is so bloated....you cld hear the House of Reps member shouting down at the Brig Gen, that he wld hv bn his rank or higher if he had bn in the military....maybe he thought attainment of it was an honorary degree that politicians get from quack universities

(3) The Audio contents amount to treasonable offence: meaning any bodily harm tending to death or destruction, maim or wounding, imprisonment or restraint, of a person is treasonable & there are pieces of evidence to substantiate that as we kept hearing abt one Daramola to be picked up

(4) All assertions by Fayose about shooting his people and sharing of money and partisanship were at that point and to that audience "Hearsay" as he cld have used those to whip up sentiments

(5) I do not argue abt the popularity of Fayose in Ekiti, but the clear prevention of the other candidate's supporters to come and vote will obviously give the upper hand to the favoured candidates

(6) Why did they not succeed in Osun? Recall that the Gov there kept telling the people to come out and vote and shld resist all forms of Army intimidation. He kept shouting from the roof top of these same set of plans which in a way countered the Ekiti type plans

(7) For those who think this style of rigging is peculiar to Ekiti and Osun, u are very wrong. It happened in Anambra where DSS were used to arrest El Rufai and confine him to his hotel room and he was tweeting from there. and INEC disenfranchising Ngige voters stronghold. Anambra clearly was not about PDP winning, it was about Ngige losing

( Elections are rigged by all parties but from what we heard, this had gone beyond party rigging but instituionalised rigging by the Federal govt comprising of INEC; Army; Police; NSCDC. How do you win when the soft copy of INEC document is in your opponents' hands

(9) The problem wt GEJ that this type further illustrates from their conversations is that he is trapped by too many people and their inordinate ambitions which is very sad

(10) Under no circumstances shld we subject our military to house boy duties like this or we will all regret it in future as we would have no form of military in future and you can see how a rag tag army like BH is playing music on our heads

(11) In a sane country, the Brig would have commited suicide by now!!

(12) As for Ekiti citizens, i can only say the deed has been done. Your 4 turbulent years will soon be over and you can start rebuilding your lives again. I say this because if your Gov blew =N=1 billion at Christmas on Rice alone excluding Chicken etc wchich you finished consuming in less than a week....hmmm..... when =N=1billion can set up farms that will feed you for the next generation......i feel sad for you...but 4 years will soon be over

1. For the consolidation of our democracy. It is an undeniable fact that under the watch of GEJ, Nigeria democracy has grown from a near one party state to a two major political parties state, just like the US. The opposition parties (APC, APGA, CPC, ACN, labour party, accord, etc)have won more elections under GEJ than at any other time in the history of Nigeria. This is actually good for our democracy because it will allow for checks and balances and more competition in the long run.

A democracy without proper Political Education is ZERO and it is very apparent that we lack political education as a nation evident in the political prostitution of elected office holders and total lack of ideology or articulated positions of all political actors. And you make it sound as if PDP is doing the other parties a favour by them winning 1 or 2 states. Unfortunately, GEJ himself lacks political education t4, he cannot give what he doesnt have.

2. For the regime of free and fair election to be continued and consolidated in my country. For me, the greatest corruption is rigging and stealing of electoral mandate. GEJ has restored sanity to our electoral system so much so that the chorus amongst politicians these days is that their supporters should arm themselves with PVC for the election day. Therefore, my dear country has joined the league of advanced democracies where the voters card is a potent weapon. It was not so before. Before, in this same country, the voters card was useless. Before now, results of elections were written before election day.

Obviously, the definition of sanity here is biased as there is absolutely no sanity in our electoral process. INEC has failed woefully and the head should have been sacked since for incompetence. Voter registration has been shoddy (Anambra State election was rigged by a totally messed up electoral register) & today as we speak, can you equate the anxiety and high blood pressure we are experiencing in order to obtain our PVC as Sanity moreover, INEC had 4 years to plan for this election and had Anambra; Edo; Ekiti & Osun to practise and perfect the art but they have failed. I am one of the 1.8million registered voters in Lagos whom INEC claimed our data was corrupted a few months ago. Till today, it hasnt been resolved but the simple question is, why cant INEC go back to our initial registration and use the data to verify us and give us our PVC. Jega should have been fired for incompetence

3. For the free and vibrant press that we currently enjoy to continue

The free and vibrant press today even though they are all compromised is simply due to Social Media. Social Media has compelled the press in Nigeria to follow their leading as its difficult to go the other direction when Social media is supporting their own story with pictures

4. For work on the Second Niger Bridge to continue and be completed. Whether the enemies of progress like it or not, whereas in the last 30 years NOTHING was done about that very important bridge, in the last 4 years (2011 to 2015) and under the regime of GEJ, work has started on the Second Niger and very importantly, PROGRESS has been made. From nothing, the bridge was designed, contract awarded to a reputable construction giant (Julius Berger), preliminary works was started and completed, compensation that amounted to over #1 billion was paid to those with properties in the right of way and real construction work commenced on site. When you move from nothing to do all of that in 4 years, that is my definition of PROGRESS. I will vote for that progress to continue.

Congrats on the 2nd Niger Bridge but refering back to lack of Political Education. We do not question the cost of these contracts. We are too easy to please by the things we see whilst they smile to the bank with the things we do not see (e.g. Paying out Trillions of =N= on Fuel Subsidy when fraction of it would have built a couple of refineries)

5.For ongoing works on various federal highways, especially those in the southeast to be continued and completed. Especially, the Enugu-Onitsha, Enugu-PH, Benin-Ore and Lagos-Ibadan roads. Except for maybe Gowon, I don't think any other past govt can match the record of GEJ in the road sector in the last 4 years. And the quality of work has been great. I will vote for that to continue.

Same as my response for item 4. Please vote for the waste to continue. Are we not all in the economic mess together now where our National account is totally empty and we cannot meet our obligations?

6. For the reforms and revival of the railways to continue. The achievements of this govt in the railway sector has been impressive. The govt is not only restoring the narrow gauge lines that was allowed to rot away by past govt, they are also building brand new standard railways and the Abuja light rail. I will vote for that to continue.

IMPRESSIVE We seriously need the aid of a dictionary here. 30hour Journey by train from Lagos to Kano is IMPRESSIVE Enugu to PHC in 7hours is IMPRESSIVE Are you aware that Trillions of Naira has bn spent to this so called railway transformation & you boldly say you shall vote for that to continue


7. Under this govt, we have seen very innovative policies and programmes that work on ground (not paper), such as YOUWIN, SURE-P, e-wallet for farmers, etc. I will vote for continuity of govt programmes that have been tested and trusted.

YOUWIN, SURE-P are just conduit pipes of wastage. As for YOUWIN, well executed but poorly conceived. I would rather provide incentive to existing SME's who have experience in whatsoever they do that will enable them to take on more employees who will learn under them before launching out. What you have done with YOUWIN is to give people grants (free money) and thrown them into the same overwhelming turbulent Oceans of lack of electricity etc that is presently killing existing SMEs
SURE-P should never have been instituted as there should not have been a need for it as the Subsidy itself is a big Scam

8. I will vote for the ongoing revolution in the agriculture sector to continue.

[b]I actually want to believe that there is a revolution in agriculture but the only thing we here is "we killed corruption in fertilizer distribution" Where are the revolution in Storage Faclities?? In Animal Husbandry and so on and so forth as agric is not abt fertilizer alone. There is also too much manipulation of information that has exposed them (1) It is claimed we have 6 million rice farmers meaning 1 in every 25 of us is a rice farmer FALSE! (2) Min of Agric can on air and said over =N=400billion had been saved by growing Rice in Nigeria but we are yet to experience that savings. Ebonyi state is quickly name dropped as our Rice destination but we are yet to see the economy of Ebonyi as the place to go to....if there truly is a revolution of rice production in Ebonyi, it should attract Guest House Owners; Bank Branches; Rice Bag producers; Haulage Companies; diverse food sellers; urgent construction to meet the needs of Rice enterprenuers; Improved IGR for Ebonyi state but......

Hear this.....Min of Agric: We are almost self sufficient in rice production......but just 2 weeks ago, Stallion and OLAMS are owing us over =N=30billion for import duty on Rice. to confirm it GEJ last week reads the riot act about the same thing....the next question is how come they are owing Nigeria import duty? Is import duty not paid before you clear your goods?? and how come they havent paid for so long that FG now has to threaten them publicly....hmmm...some deal gone wrong?? ...... but are Stallion and OLAMS not part of the local rice production revolution?? #WetinIKnowSef?[/b]

9. This govt has insisted that even in the area of corruption, PREVENTION is better than cure. Because I believe prevention is better than cure and that Buhari with his gang of thieves will not do better, I will vote for continuity. In any case, the Buhari approach failed in 1983 so let's try something else.

YOU will vote in continuation of corruption? that means you will vote in favour of what rightfully belongs to you bn wacked by a few uncaring people? Please outline the so called PREVENTION methods as GEJ has failed woefully with respect to corruption and he cannot turn around tommorrow and succeed in an area he is deeply rooted in.

10. I will vote for continuity of the reforms in the power sector. The last thing that is needed in that sector now is policy somersault.

I had to laugh here....the comedians in Nigeria are not even in competition with you . If you burn =N= daily through purchase of fuel for your generator(s), then you will NEVER vote PDP in any election. 16years + Billions of $$ & no electricity in sight. Whether its the Policy or its implementation, neither works & you and I are the mugus. Meter maintenance charge was increased from =N250 to =N=750.....that is a criminal % increase & to rub insult into injury, you have to pay it whether you have electricity or not and nobody cares abt u.....Pls go and vote darkness again O! As for me and household, we have concluded that even the KOWA party candidate cannot be worse than GEJ, t4 we proclaim a change.
FG sold PHCN to private investors and has now come back to offer them Intervention money through CBN as FG continues to pay Legacies debts to these new owners......pls vote to continue living in darkness and your commonwealth bn shared by a few people o!!!

11. In the last 4 years, the federal govt, working with the state govt and the people have given relative peace to my state. I vote for that peace to continue.

Relative peace in your state? Congrats, but pls beg them to extend the peace to Plateau; Benue; Kaduna states for needless killings and the entire North East bn run over by BH

12. Because I believe Nigeria is in need of urgent restructuring, I will vote for the implementation of the resolutions of the last national conference, even though the restructuring proposed were not far reaching enough. Most of the problems we complain of in Nigeria today are structural problems which can only be solved by restructuring the country.

The last National Conference is Dead on Arrival.....pls lets find other ways to restructure appropraitely but certainly not by creation of unviable states

13. Because Nigeria is considered by some as a turn-by-turn enterprise, I will vote for other parts of the country to also have a taste of the FULL dose of the pie, especially as the best Buhari can achieve if elected is to match the record of GEJ in the last 4 years. Buhari can take the turn of the north in 2019.

Turn by Turn is not the way to go and if it was, the Igbos should be given the Presidency now now!!

In conclusion, the present administration has been full of sleaze and deceit and do not deserve a return. As i said earlier, even the KOWA party candidate is more acceptable.

Inefficiencies; weakness; cluelessness; bad leadership; poor judgement; lack of experience; lack of political will has plunged us into a dire situation. Whoever wins in Feb has a herculan task of reviving a dying economy. As we speak right now, our economy is in complete disarray

[quote author=lurther post=29935595]And he was denied an electoral post by tinubu. How in the whole wide world will a man be governor for 8 good solid years and he couldn't influence the aftermaths of his exit. Once fashola leaves office 29th of may, that is the end of his shadow in lagos state. His only hope is just for APC to win and lobby for appointment.

He could not even get the senatorial ticket to stay relevant. And some people will say here that he is not greedy ooo.
He didn't even have a say on whom his successor would be. After 8 good solid years of being a governor and he is still dancing shoki for tinubu.

I love this guy, but after 8years and he still has no say in lagos, then there must be something wrong somewhere.[/quote

There is absolutely nothing wrong anywhere.....he is not a professional politician; he does not require govt patronage to live his life and Senate is not a retirement home for 2 tenure govs...the one there have contributed little to helping this nation.

Allow the man to follow his conviction and live a life uncharted by charlatans and sychophants

Well, not alarmed as PDP led govts at Federal and States have done much worse, so worse that lives have bn placed at great risk as preventing a plane about to land from touching down. They need to feel the pinch too.

Is tit for tat good? No!!! but PDP need to realise they dont have monopoly of bad behaviour

pacido:
Nigeria will be a great country the day its citizens start reasoning objectively without bias and ethnic sentiments. How come all the GEJ critics are not disputing the numerous achievements of his govt but are rather busy bringing up superfilious arguments.Are the railways not really working again in nigeria?,are the roads they said they rehabilitated not really done?,are the airports not wearing new looks?,is the revolution in the argricultural sector not real?,are there no youths benefitting from the UWIN and SURE-P programmes of the federal govt?is the unbundling of the PHCN not real or has there really not been an improvement in the power sector?.Even the manisfesto recently released by the APC promised full power by 2019 why not by 2015 ending since they have a magic wand that will make all the problems in Nigeria disappear and as a result won't allow GEJ a second term to consolidate on his achievements..Most importantly what guarantees do the north have that pa buhari will survive the rigours of office through ist amd second term or do they want another excuse to make Osibanjo's govt (in the event of pa buhari being incapacitated)ungovernable again?.Every well meaning Nigeria should think these through and avoid this malicious plot by Tinubu to seize govt by proxy(Osibanjo) and extend his colonialism from Lagos to Nigeria.

Are the railways not really working again in nigeria? Yes they are and its takes 30 hours from Lagos to Kano

are the airports not wearing new looks? I can only speak for MMIA LAgos that i frequently use. Its DISGRACE par excelence

is the revolution in the argricultural sector not real? I live in Lagos & its the biggest food market....its still full of Imported Rice!

are there no youths benefitting from the UWIN and SURE-P programmes of the federal govt? YouWin is just sharing the National cake with a sprinkle of people. Whats the purpose of YouWin if there is no enabling environment. I spend =N=10,000 every week buying Petrol for generators just for daily 9 hours of work. (Lagos state did not need to create a Youwin to create wealth, they opened up Lekki Epe Expressway and everyone is making a living from the creation of market space. Creating a Market space is better sustainable than giving out handouts. If you do not understand creating a market space, go and ask the Igbo man selling Electrical parts at Agungi, Lekki expressway, they sing praises of Fashola daily; same for the Curtain seller at Igbo Efon; same for the old Landrover owner who ferries sand and cement 16 hours a day or the horticulturist who is selling plants or the white van owner who is moving goods for buyers and sellers around Lekki or the water tank seller at Agungi. A good govt creates Market spaces not dole out handouts to please a few)

is the unbundling of the PHCN not real or has there really not been an improvement in the power sector? We need Protection, not Corruption in the Power sector. The govt did not protect us when Meter maintenance charge was increased from =N=250 to a whoppin =N=750 without electricity bn provided but you have to pay that monthly (ligh or no light) That is wickedness and injustice. You sold Nepa to Private individuals but you are using the same money to pay back to them unimaginable Legacy debts and even get CBN to provide intervention fund for them. We are yet to get over the Aviation intervention fund where Jimoh Ibrahim collected =N-30b+ from govt and returned to Lagos to close down Air Nigeria on the excuse of disloyal staff....SMH

And he has the effontery to say vote me again & Nigerians unintelligently support him

iv4fb:
I don't like GEJ, he is an embarrassment to people that expected so much from him.

but, you see his failures for a reason. He signed the FOI, so much information is available to us now and we can now demand for good leadership. Mr brother, even the APC of Lagos is scared of signing it, you'll scream at the rot in Lagos government if you have the information.

Obscurity is not security

Ok, let hear you scream rot from now when you finish analysing the information here: http://www.lagosstate.gov.ng/Y2014%203rd%20Quarter%20Budget%20Review.pdf

What is the purpose of signing FOI, when you dont "give a damn'' to declare your assets as your GEJ refuses to declare his assets.

What people dont understand is that Lagos is saying to you that FOI is not necessary to use because we publish our VERIFIABLE information evet quarter on the http://www.lagosstate.gov.ng/ You do not need to invoke FOI to accesss it. I read it every quarter for the last 7 years and thats why Lagos is the best run govt in the whole of the federation

blakky97:
why now? is this the first time hes contesting?

I tire o!!! Did he not submit cerificates in previous elections?? I beg, Nigerians, lets not be distracted. The future of our nation should not be destroyed becos of certificate. He qualified in earlier elections, he qualifies now.

Exploit200:
Looking at Nigerians I still see people who are easily deceive. they say talk is cheap, is it by coming out to talk that matters bt doing the field work. I pity some Nigerians they have still not learn their lesson.if Osibanjo gets into power you will see him talking and acting in a different way. Nigeria's pls wise up.

For this man Osinbajo, talk is not cheap. He has been in power and he excelled. The poor in Lagos have in the last decade+ been benefiting from FREE LEGAL Services through Office of the Public Defender established by Osinbajo as Attirney General of Lagos State. It was simply based on the fact that ALL citizens, not matter your tribe, as long as you are in Lagos, you are entitled to Free Legal representation by govt

oziegbe2015:
my bro, u can see the[b] pdp is begging to win back lagos[/b], and apc is working hard not to loose it. This is how democracy should be, it all betters the citizery. Let nigerians replicate this in the fg, irrespective of what you think of its candidates. When pdp who says boastfully they would rule for 60yrs become opposition. They would treat us with respect

How can you win back what you never had?

The truth of the matter is that Agbaje is a Silver Spoon Socialite who does not possses the ability to govern Lagos state. If you could not excel in running a mere Chemist shop, how do you want to manage Lagos state. JayKay pharmacy is there for all to see in Apapa, all other shops like the one on Adeniyi Jones have closed down. He should also tell us what experiences and work he has done in the last 10 years. We dont need an inexperienced administrator in Lagos. He should start at Local govt level. Public Admini9stration is not by Fine Biy no Pimples o!!

I think there's something we don't know about this man, which they (PDP) knew. Cos I guess this man is not only giving them headache and heart attack but stroke or epilepsy

His work experience alone don intimidate PDP

I think there's something we don't know about this man, which they (PDP) knew. Cos I guess this man is not only giving them headache and heart attack but stroke or epilepsy

This is why PDP are having headache and heart attack. The man has lived exemplary public and private life free of any scandal.


The Legal community vouchs for him

The Academic community vouchs for him

The Christain Faith vouchs for him

The Civil Service community vouchs for him

The Civil Society and Human Rights community vouchs for him

The United Nations community vouchs for him

He is a man of unrivalled Integrity!!!!!

Let all voters know that for once, we want the best for Nigeria. Osinbajo for VP & for President later on Insha Allah!!!

It will be a big shame and injustice for Nigeria to miss out on Prof Osinbajo bn in Aso Rock come 2015. Out of the 4 (GEJ; Sambo; Buhari), he is poles apart. Those of us who have related with him know he can take on any, i repeat, any matter as he posseses that capabilities in abundance. If Nigeria wants to be reckoned in the committee of Nations, Prof should even be President. He is 100% capable. He is not only brilliant, his application of his brilliance to governance and life generally is par excellence. I will not only vote for him. I will campaign for him.

Nairalanders, go and catch a glimpse of who your next Vice President is here and you shall thank God for such breath of fresh air https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=yemi+osinbajo

Calculia:
[size=18pt]GEJ till Mrs Osinbajo resemble woman[/size]

When God give you better thing and you reject it, then who go give you? The devil?

Mrs Dolapo Osinbajo outwardly is a Dark and Lovely woman.

Inwardly, she posseses a beautiful soul.

Growing up, she had impecable upbringing

Educationally?? Top class!!

Comportment? 100%

Nigeria should bless God for the gift of this couple to us. They are the mould of people we need in Govt to change things. Prof & his wife Dolapo have been sent to restore dignity back to the country. They are the ones we have been yearning for. I wish they were the Presidential couple.

In the history of Nigeria, if you list all the wives of Heads of State and the Deputies, only Abdusalam Abubakar's wife beats her in all the qualities listed above. She is clearly number by far from the others.

Appreciate the oppurtunity that God has given us to install True and Thorough people

Kzinne:
If you went to school at that time then you kinow this doesnt make any sense. How possible, in 1978? Face the facts. The man looks 60 or even 65. A pastor lying. To bad for Buhari anyways. gabbage

That man Prof Osinbajo was my Law of Evidence Lecturer. If Nigeria wants to be reckoned in the committee of Nations, Prof should even be President. He is 100% capable. He is not only brilliant, his application of his brilliance to governance and life generally is par excellence. I will not only vote for him. I will campaign for him.

goldfings:
Now Agbaje has lost it all
Can you now see he's no GENTLE MAN, another wolf in sheep's clothing just like GEJ
How can 1 celebrate 806 = 863?
Only in PDP?
Released delegates list a week before election, so where did the remaining 57 votes come from?
ooooh I think I know. Bode George kept them in his Agbada.... A show of a true Lagos Boy

Why are people suprised at the results? The President of Nigeria had already set a dangerous precedent to follow when he congratulated Jonah Jang as Chairman of Govs' forum wt 16 votes against Ameachi's 19.

PDP alos celebrated when in Ekiti, 6 out of 26 lawmakers claimed majority

So, why should they Hala over 806 bn more than 863? Its their making, let them live with it

tejpot:
My man, because they have no one comparable to you they cannot fully appreciate how extremely invaluable you are to Lagos. Again you are good to go.

I truly feel sorry for those rooting for Jimi Agbaje to be Gov of Lagos state. We obviously have not learnt our lessons from Yar Adua anmd Jonathan mistakes as neither of them had any success feature you could measure them by as Govs of KAtsina state and Bayelsa state.

Jimi Agbaje has not been able to run his Chemist, Jay Kay pharmacy successfully & you want to hand him a whole lagos state......Shaking my head seriously.

Please let Jimi Agbaje come out and tell us the productive work he has been doing in the last 10 years!!!!! Absolutely nothing substatial beyond what Nairalanders have achieved.

Please ask pertinent questions before you begin to support blindly.

The case was DoA...dead on arrival from the onset because Lagos State has documentary evidence that (1) They wrote to Anambra State and listed their names on the paper and Anambra State govt through its liason office in Lagos received and acknowledged receipt of the letter. (2) Lagos State has evidence of rehabilatation efforts given to the people and they were sheltered; fed and clothed preparatory to their transportation and hand over to Anambra.

Peter Obi unfortunately made a meal of it rather than discipline the govt officials that collected LASG letter and threw it aside.

Rather, they should sue Anambra stay for not providing them with incentive to remain and thrive at home.

For equity sake, i advocate that every state in nigeria should have a portion of its federal allocation removed and given to the host state. If as a state, you begin to lose a sizable portion of your allocation, you will develop your state well enough and people will only migrate minimally

yes you need to, do you think fashola is in any way a morally obliged specimen? no no not at all, infact he encourage touting and criminality , this is a man whi had his children studying abroad, i was driving along igando isheri road, i saw fashola convoy moving out from the new estate he sold for 12 million naira par flat at nysc busstop igando, only for me to see fashola at the back of the convoy spraying our naira like water and his escort were busy bashing the tout who want to pick the money with their guns, was fashola not the one using these tout? in a sane society, fashola can sponsor these guy to graduate level if he really love them, and these guys will be useful to them selves and society, i was wondering what the matter was only for me to hear that he came to dedicate the estate, hummm. this is a masquerade some of you will prefer to die for. i saw him with my eyes because my car was stoped while is convoy going. bullshit,

First and foremost, i do not know when Fashola's children went abroad for schooling but i know he doesnt spoil his 2 boys, infact one of them went for apprentiship during a school holiday at a carpenters workshop for not knowing how to change a bulb.

2ndly, Gov Fashola does not use siren in his convoy, they move quietly and if you were stopped, it simply to allow them passage. Roads are never closed for Fashola to pass.

3rdly, unless you have a video recording, Gov Fashola WILL NOT SPRAY NAIRA NOTES

4thly, whats the problem with selling a house for 12million if that is what it cost them to build it? Have you seen any of Lagos State HOMS projects? They are comparable to any Privately built in quality not like the apartments in Iponri or Jakande at Lekki or Isolo
