You see what happens when you let some select people choose and install people on your behalf? They WILL NEVER represent you. That's what this Desmond Elliot story shows us once again. The Barakat lady replacing him too will only work as a stooge.
This is what happens when parents do everything for their children, they never learn how to withstand the world challenges or fight for things, their parents did everything for them. They don't know their worth.
After Bucknor and Pedro showed Tinubu shege, they started going for female deputy governors. The ones who will not fight them. This is not to put the women down but we all know how it went with those deputies who were female. That's what is going on in Lagos. You will never get your true representative because these people did not fight for the seats. Even if they tried to fight, the party they came in through only annointed them for guaranteed victory at the polls. Until you have someone who did all the work, earned it in the primary and elections, you will only have representatives of babasopecracy consensus. Fake democracy.
"There is nothing democratic in what is referred to as consensus"
Let me correct the writer who said Former Governor Akinwunmi Ambode is today a member of the influential Governance Advisory Council (GAC), the highest decision-making body in Lagos APC, largely because he accepted defeat gracefully after losing the governorship primary to the party’s preferred candidate, Babajide Sanwo-Olu. Rather than defect or head to court, Ambode congratulated Sanwo-Olu and pledged loyalty to the party. Desmond Elliot should take a cue from that example.
Big fat lie. Ambode that called Sanwoolu mad and did worse than Elliot. Abeg talk another thing. They have arranged themsleves. Even Pedro is now an Ambassador but you see that WOMAN, Bucknor. She no gree for Bola. Again, know your worth and what you are fighting for.
Ambode gave a live broadcast after the defeat but don't forget that he didn't attend the handover ceremony, instead, he handed one day before May 29 at a private event. Also Ambode lost through the primaries, at least they allowed that to happen. Did you hear what Desmond said? "Even if I will lose, let me lose gallantly". He complained about intimidation of delegates so there is a difference in losing through indirect babasopecracy and direct vote. At least they pretended to vote for Ambode's own. The truth is that some people are at the background rigging the system. They don't want true votes. If it was consensus of the delegates, it is different but here there is compulsion, intimidation and threats to select one candidate. What a shame.
I read your story last year, I would advise next year let your mom go to the market herself with a budjet amount .let see what she would get. However, Please don't tell her your amiable stepmother is the one getting you the rams again
Omenlon: fayemi body dey pepper am, tinubu no look e face, he don dey paranoid now. Na dem conspired to remove Oshomole as chairman of APC just because of tinubu.
I still believed fayemi and Rauf are playing a political scripts
SpencerForbes: She is still a very young lady, and I don't think she has the stamina for that level of stress right now. My advice to her is to go back home and just weather the storm for the time being. Whenever the family drama starts, she should just put on her earpods and tune it out. That is the only temporary fix. When she is financially stable, she can rent her own apartment and permanently escape. Trying to rent a place for her right now makes no sense, because the burden of keeping up with rent will be entirely too much for her to handle, especially in high-cost areas like Lekki.
Work station is just a desk and a chair in a office space for rent with Internet benefit.There are a lot of them in lagos
SixSeven: 100m for presidential nomination form. Jokers. . Structure of criminality and money bags.
Nigeria is not serious yet. Abeg what happened to the Not Too Young To Run Bill Act? How many young people can be presidents? Dem Don carry all of una handicap They have discounts for handicap though, watch how people will claim to afford it.
Youth should pay 50% of 100m. All the parties are eeddiots for endorsing criminality in their politics. Nigeria is sitting on a time bomb but we don't know yet. There should be nothing stopping Salisu or Emeka or Tomiwa from resigning from Okada, Trading or LG work to say they want to contest if they are ready to serve but when all these parties publish crazy amounts for nomination and EOI, it's corruption wearing different attire. Politics has become billionaire's club and a market place for only a few people and you say it's democracy. Don't come up with that crap that it's to make sure only serious people can contest. DemoCRAZY
In as much you have a valid points ,nothing stopped the youths not to have a political party where forms should be a zero costs. politics is not free and easy trade across the globe.
1.Why can't the Atiku lawyers studies all these points you read out before they moved to the highest court. 2.why can't they allow those that held post in the ADC to continue with it and the likes of AA and DM provide tactics discuss of what they want to do to move the party forward to gain power. For instances when APC felt Adams wouldn't do their bids he was removed tactical without noises
What Saudi Arabia is doing called Comparative advantage,they bought from Russia oil at a very cheap rate and probably resell to others just like India doing by selling to Europe
Chegesnd: We already know who GAC is? Was Ambode's aspiration for a second tenure 'a selfish agenda? GAC is meant to keep some people in perpetual leadership position. If it's for the good of the whole Lagos, why are there no member of Opposition in it? Like I said earlier, GAC is a SUPREMACIST Vehicle!
Hear yourself allow opposition into your political inner circle, who does that?.
Will any responsible man allow his wife to go to the gym? . Unless you wanna deliver her into the hands of tramadol nighas who won't pity her when pounding the hell out of her
If your gbola can't keep your wife in the right needed shape, simply know that you didn't only fail yourself but man-hood in its entirety
It has nothing to do with gym, any avenue where both sex were usually meet it will always happen
Ofunaofu: The APC must be rescued from the grip of a notorious drug baron.
It has drifted far from what its founding figures Buhari, Ogbonnaya Onu, and others, envisioned: a truly progressive party. What we have now is a “grab it, snatch it, and run” operation that resembles a criminal gang.
Under Tinubu, the APC has become a party that shows blatant disregard for the rule of law, with the judiciary and legislature criminally captured, and the democratic space increasingly emasculated.
The APC must be rescued.
Is it hatred that makes you removed tinubu from the funding father, some of us would be worse than the current politicians
Our politicians only see clearly when they are not in power or when they were out of power. He did nothing for the elderly people when he was the governor
Christmyhope: I want the National Assembly to invite the head of telcos to come and make clarification on possibility of ensuring real-time transmission of results. I don't know how possible this can be in Nigeria because there are many times I have gone to bank to withdraw but I was disappointed that I couldn't make transactions because there was no network, here in Lagos state. And I have gone to some places in Ondo, ekiti, osun and Edo, where I could not make phone calls for several days. How is real time transmission possible in that areas?
Those state you mentioned were still far,some plaza in Lagos island if you enter no person can reach you through phone calls
Kenobsky: This festival is made up of juju. The fishes in this river alone will scare your kidneys out. They turned Human beings ilto fishes even the shooting competition they do it with black magic. How can someone else use a catapult to bring down a tiny object from almost quater a kilometer?
If it happens in foreign country you will appreciate it more right,.
