I agree with this. The Qanons, Racists, and other deplorables are minority voting blocks and would still vote Republican. They would rather vote Republican even if it's against their interest. They vote based on hate and nothing else. The result of the last election proved just that. They would get maybe 5 to 7 representatives into federal offices and that's about it. It's either they sit at home or vote. And when they vote, it would be for the conservative Republican candidate. Why a far right loving Trump still has a strong hold on the party is beyond me. Cowardice I guess.

That is what I told him above.. will their votes turn into the big prize?Capitol NO..Yet they are still pandering to their boss.. instead of standing up publicly and get their party back from the hands of a Mad Man. see how they did after the capital riot when they got back into the house.. That is what they should have done and believe me you,they will be on the part of reconcilation,even Nigerian politicians do reconcilation,na them dey do like cowards..

You are deceiving yourself if you think politicians are about Truth/integrity and not about winning elections. Every politician will supress truth if it hinders them from winning, I hope you are following Andrew Cuomo COVID number suppression in New York

If he voted to convict Trump then he and the party loses the 20% voting population who are die hard Trump supporters

In an election always 55-45 for the winning side, how do you statistically lose 20% and still remain viable?

Basically, to win, McConnel and Republicans will be hoping not only for center Republican but to take a huge bite of Democrat voting population to be viable. That can only happen if Democrats present an extreme leftist like Bernie, AOC to face a centrist like Bush/Haley

Its like you asking Biden to condemn the extreme left Socialism desiring left and go into a National election without their 20% votes
Emotions support that thesis but data do not

I am assuming
extreme left 20%
center left 30%
center right 30%
extreme right 20%

so why did the 20% voting block do not give them the WH,House and Senate?. agreed all parties might not be about the truth and about winning elections,but for goodness sake, the far right are not winning election for the GOP..I mean they are not wining Major elections for them so why still pandering to them yet making the GOP to lose the majority every now and then all because lots of sensible republicans do not want their party to be associated with people like that

see how the Dems was able to deal with bernie and co without no rancour. They learnt their lessons in 2016 and such wont repeat itself again..But the GOP are not learning theirs..lots of their members are dumping the party and signing up as either dems or independents..so what will the 20% do for them?

The Dems do not hide it that their party wont be socialist that was why they came massively behind Biden.. and even yesterday,Biden said he wont cancel 50K in student loan debt something Bernie,Aoc Liz and other socialists want.. This is all for the greater good of the party and not pandering to the likes of Bernie that wont win them the WH. They will always have a voting bloc,but can it win them the big prize?Capital NO.. Just like Buhari's 12million voting block before Tinubu came to help him to win with the votes of the SW..Without that,he will continue to be a serial loser

That is just the way it is

raumdeuter:
So tell what a better way McConnel should have handled it and still have hopes of winning elections in the country

Or should he just hand over to the Democrats all hopes of ever winning elections

He should have stood on the part of the Truth and voted to convict Trump..If he had,most senators too will join because he is the highest ranking GOP in the senate.. If he had,millions of Republicans who voted for Joe Biden will come back to the Republican party. I mean not only Democrats voted Joe, Millions of Republicans voted for him because they do not like how their country and party was going so they needed to send the idiot out and get their country back.

But with this,the dems are going to rule the top echelon of the US government for years..The people Mitch and co are pandering to are not in the majority..I mean this guy made you lose all 3 branches.. The WH, House and Senate and he is even banned from SM that made him popular.. so what do you want to lose? You either fight now and be better off or you fight later and keep on fighting till you die..and that is what Mitch and others just did

Now I get it..Nairaland is about the highest bidder because I don't know why this guy post that makes little or no sense and does not concern us always hits the FP every now and then.. Whereby negative news about some people will also hit FP every now and then.. EG Oyo state and others

Now I get it

Na seyi makinde cause am.. Yes na him..since na everything we dey put on the neck of seyi makinde..

I blame seyi. He should actually have some of those fake news peddlers arrested and charged to court. Yesterday,they went to town shouting Bodija is on fire and yoruba and hausas are fighting which is nothing but fake news.. News that might ignite nothing but violence.. When they are treated with the long arm of the law they will keep quiet.. Last time they said 200houses were burnt at Labiran. How many houses sef dey Labiran sef?

Iamgrey5:
I think the murderers were on both sides.

It is the Soliders that caused further anger amongst the Yorubas.

On Friday night, the Hausas started destroying Youruba properties in Shasha village and its environs under the watchful eyes of the military men.

When Yorubas approach the military men on Saturday morning to complain, the Soliders told them that they were only there to protect the Hausas not the Yorubas.

So Yoruba hoodlums decided to have their own pound of flesh on Saturday in broad daylight.

Of course..When the stuff is done,traffic will be more or less non existent at Challenge again.

Ohh I get..Yes,Lam Adeshina established it,But they did not move there until the last one that happened between the cow sellers and the market people.. Government had to make it compulsory for all of them to go there.

You know they can't even go to akinyele in 1999..Akinyele then in 1999 was even worst than it is now not to talk of then. Lam established it,few went and then came back. Just like the Bus terminals built by Ajimobi at New Garage where very little of them are all because it is far to the drivers.

I get your point sir

Iamgrey5:
Sir this happened under Lam Adesina.

No sir,it happened under Ajimobi..It was Ajimibo that moved the cow sellers to Akinyele due to violence that occurred between hausas and yorubas at bodija

Slimanyd2:
My fellow Yorubas should fear God and stop playing politics with the life of people.

I know some fools would still come here and tag me Igbo or hausa fulani slave but let me shock you. I be confirmed Ibadan guy based in challenge.

How is the Junction improvement network project going at challenge?

ivolt:
Your useless boss allows bandits warlord to operate freely in Oyo instead of making a stand.

Nobody trust him again, that is why the Sasha incident happened.

Story..But when people were killed at Bodija during the last administration,The Hausas and yoruba's which led the cow sellers to be moved to Akinyele..Nobody said it was Ajimobi thay caused it isn't it?..

I guess you could argue about the "as soon as he is out of office", but things go a lot slower than that in the real world.

One thing we learnt from the last elections is there aren't enough deplorables to make trump Potus46. Many don't even realise that Pence sanitised trump for many Gops for him to be Potus45, but I doubt he coukd be sanitised enough going forward.

The deplorables might, unfortunately, discover how irrelevant he is at the midterms though I doubt they would since some think his second term starts on on March 4 (or is it May?). My hope is they continue to think trump is relevant come election for Potus47. Their humiliation will be most enjoyed.

Sorry for butting in.

Their humiliation will be most enjoyed..Pence will want to contest and Trump will never ever support him. Himself and others will tear down the party completely.. I am so enjoying their show of shame. You have licked Trump's ass yet you have lost the House,the Senate,The WH and your party is so so divided,The first time like that in years.. The great GOP now turned to a laughing stock.. If you people smell the WH in 12years come and call me a bastard

Awon wayre

No fewer than four people were reportedly killed in Shasha area of the Akinyele Local Government Area of Oyo State on Saturday, despite the market's closure.

Shasha market is one of the major hubs of farm produce from the north in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital.

It was gathered that the crisis broke out when a Hausa man reportedly beat up a pregnant woman who accused her of littering the frontal part of her shop, while the deceased man, a cobbler popularly called Adex intervened but met his untimely death as the Hausa man allegedly hit him with a magic charm.

According to eyewitnesses, Adex slumped immediately and started foaming in the mouth before he was rushed to a nearby hospital where he died.

SaharaReporters gathered on Saturday that four people were killed while more houses were set ablaze.

Yoruba people in the area told SaharaReporters that Soldiers from Odogbo Barracks, who were deployed to maintain law and order, were allegedly supervising attack on Yoruba people, which led to the mobilisation of more Yoruba youths to repel the attack.

A resident of the area, who spoke with SaharaReporters, claimed that four people had been killed already while many houses were set ablaze despite the market's closure and the curfew.

The source said, "As we speak, I notice four corpses on the ground. The soldiers are supporting the Hausa people, that was exactly the reasons Yoruba people are protesting."

Meanwhile, the Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Saliu Akanmu Adetunji, on Saturday, urged all warring factions in the ongoing crisis to sheathe their swords.

The first-class monarch, who lamented the high level of insecurity in the land in recent times, made this known in Ibadan today after holding virtual meetings with relevant stakeholders, including Hausa/Fulani leaders in Ibadan.

Oba Adetunji said it was important for people to eschew violence and bitterness by ensuring that minor conflicts do not degenerate to unnecessary tension.

"Many of our compatriots have been living with each other for a long time. We grow up and attend schools together. People from diverse ethnic groups do inter-marry and give birth to lovely children," he said.

Olubadan stated that he was surprised that a crisis could break out in Shasa culminating in large-scale destruction, such as burning properties.

He said, "Immediately the report of the crisis got to us in the palace yesterday, the Governor of Oyo State, Engr. Seyi Makinde was the first person I called. We have his promise that appropriate action would be taken as perpetrators would not go unpunished."

Oba Adetunji urged the governor to look into the possibility of compensating all those who have been affected by the crisis.

So Lindsey Graham is under criminal investigation in Georgia

Trump might be charged by the attorney general of DC for inciting an insurrection.

Lol how many scandals can the GOP take and survive the senate has voted to call witnesses at this point it does not matter if the senate votes to convict what matters is the American voters and independents and republicans who have left the party the GOP sticking with Trump over democracy will only ruin their chances in future elections because the democrats have enough firearm to nail them with these scandals.
Under Trump they lost the senate and house and will lose more downballots since they wanna stick with him.
The appropriate authorites will deal with Trump but it is fun to watch this trial that is being watched around the world and how the republicans are sinking in the hole they dug for themselves calling of witnesses makes it much much more interesting and bad for Trump and his lawyers and a stain on the GOP.

Bros ramu should be ashamed of his party. We told him his party has gone to the dogs but he was still saying otherwise. You lost one of the biggest elections streak, The House,Senate and WH in the hand of a complete idiot,yet they are still queing behind him. Now witnesses are about to be called and their stupidity will be exposed the more.. I cant wait to see the face of idiots like cruz, little marcio and the likes.. Awon oloshi

To whom much is given, much is expected

Many roads across the state is begging for government attention, go round nooks & cranny of this state to understand better.

You people sha..Why are you afraid of coming in public and let us know you are opposition?Are you so afraid of the popularity of a Man who has spent just 2years in government and all you can do is to do campaign of calumy and propaganda against him. come out in public and stop being a coward. I keep on giving you facts but all you are doing is to beat around the Bush..

Everybody can see you all for all you are..A total and complete liar. You asked how many people have you employed..I told you,only for you to say one of your church member has not started work blablabla.. Over 4,400 people have been given employment letters with about 600 still pending due to incorrect date of birth and some certificates which they told the people to come and rectify but here you are ranting.

You claimed nothing he has done for science and technology,I gave you facts again yet you went to hide your face in shame..You said nothing is being done at amuloko that is when I knew you are just a baseless liar..A road that was started last year to finish 2022 you said nothing is being done at amuloko which is where the road will end.mGo to Old Ife road to Ajia and come back and say nothing is being done..

Show me evidence of inflated adamasingba yet you are beating and crying..You will cry and puff from now till tommorow.. You said many road are begging for attention,someone is doing a 180KM road in the state in less than 2years and to still do some more yet you want to crucify him,yet the previous administration did just 40KM road in 8years.. I don't know if he will do all the roads in a single year..Eyin alanitiju..

I am not even PDP,Not a politician..But you people are afraid that how can a Govornor be this popular.. all your campaign of calumy you are doing against seyi cannot work all because the people that vote are not on social media. Go to the street and see the love the people have for him.. A million and one of you guys can't defeat him.

5,000 youths employed as what?

Those roads you mentioned na on going project & 2 of the road in ibadan only to his advantage (Ajia which is his father village & Kolapo where he lives).

Bus terminal is complete waste of resources, I can say it anywhere

How much has the government spent on science & technology?

Do you know how much has been wasted on bus terminal?

How much do you think we gonna generate from the bus terminal?

You wanna compare Lagos with Oyo state? Even Lagos bus terminal has not been completed till today despite huge IGR of Lagos state

The stadium, yes work is ongoing there but at over inflated rate (you can access the work by yourself & be the judge)

Yes, no politician is perfect but at least one needs good start & not waste money on useless project

The terminal you just mentioned is nothing but waste of money

Lol..Now I can see you are those in the opposition that all you do is to argue with no facts..Just come out and stop sitting on the fence,,nobody will beat you if you tell us you are APC.

You said the projects are on going projects,and so what?If they start road today,will it be completed today?The Iseyin-moniya road will be commissioned this February.It is a 65KM road in case you dont know..others will be completed this year and next year...

You said Ajia road is to his advantage..funny you,does he live in Ajia?.The road is from Old Ife road to Ajia with a spur to amuloko to relieve people of asolo,amuloko etc of the traffic at olorunsogo to amuloko.. for those that want,they can have a detour to Old-Ife road..The road will go a long way in relieving things around that axis,you are saying it will be in seyi's favour as if na only seyi will ply the road..road he might not even ply in years

5000 youths are employed as teachers..To be earning minimum wage..or those ones are not youths of oyo state or what are you saying?when was the last time and administration did recuirement in this state?when was it?

Lol..How much has the government spent on science and technology?You just make me laugh sha..The win of the ownership of LAUTECH did it come for free? or Lautech is not science and technology? Apart from the structues and buildings given away by Oyo state to Osun state at Osogbo, Oyo is to pay osun state 8billion naira over a space of 2years to Osun state.. 1Billion has already being paid in January.. so to answer your question, 8billion naira as being spent on science and technology cos I dont know what else you want to hear.

As for the terminal,for Lagos not to have finished theirs is their problem.. and moreso their own is bigger than that of Oyo but constructed by the same contractor.. The terminals will do two things..add more money to the coffers of the state by buses that park there to load and offload but private and individuals together with stalls and malls.. 2..It will solve the traffic logjam at Iwo road especially and human manpower will not be wasted Iwo road.. It will even add more to the beauty and artitecture of the city that is why 4 were to be built.. 2 at Iwo road,one at challenge and another at Ojoo

As for adamasingba,I just look at you and laugh,You said the project is overbloated..I dont know about that,all I know is,Oyo state hasnt even out 1naira in the project..The contractor uses his money to do it and the state pays back over a period of time. talk true,when you got there shey you did not like it?talk true?..And do you know how much Oyo will even make from the stadium by hosting games and sporting events? bros,I have given you facts,you should go and hide your face in shame ooo..All these campaign of lies and propaganda cannnot and never work because you all know there is nothing you can do to him.. A million and 1 politicians in oyo state cant defeat him as long as he continues the part he is on

I am not a politician anyway

You can check all my previous posts to know my person better

Well, I don't know where he's constructing that 180km road you just talked about, I only know of road he's constructing in his home village and the one that leads to his kolapo ishola residence

See bro, to whom much is given more is expected

I'm yet to see youth oriented program from the present adminsitration instead he's busy wasting resources on unnecessary project that will make zero impact in the lives of people of Oyo state.

Check my other posts on this thread where I made it clear that no politician can dictate to people of Oyo state

As regard last line, I can tell you authoritatively that Ibadan people determines who becomes governor in Oyo state, forget theory of Ibadan has 11 local government because just 1 local government is more than 3 local government combined in other part of Oyo state (not bragging but facts except you are not from Ibadan)

I will give you facts below and facts only..I really do not know what you mean by youth oriented programmes ?I mean the constructions going on all over.Is it not youths that are working there? 5000 young men and women in a state like Oyo even with the current pandemic were employed by the state government as teachers to also earn 18,000 naira minimum wage,yet you said there is no youth programme?The problem is it is politicians that are complaining and not the people as he is Hugely popular.

Breakdown of major ongoing road projects and approved ones.

1. 65km moniya to iseyin road
2. 21km Airport Amuloko Ajia
3. 12km Apete to Akufo
4. 3km G stadium to Lautech first gate
5. 10km Saki township road
6. 5km Gedu - Oroki - Sabo /Ashipa
7. 7km akobo road
8. 45km Saki to Igboho
9. 12km Akala express to Apata--Abadoned for 8years during Ajimobi.If he had done it,It would have solved traffic buildup at Apata and as the Akala express road is the new ringroad

That's 180kms of major roads in less than two years

Or the current project at challenge which will cost about 2.5Billion naira to solve the traffic holdup at challenge..Guess you wont know that the popular MRS Petrol station at challenge has been demolished and roundabouts demolished there too and massive construction is going on there or the Multibillion naira Bus terminals being at challenge,Iwo road and Ojoo built to fix transportation issues once and for all in those major areas.

What of the remodeling of the Adamsingba staduim into a world class staduim. Things like this and more will improve the IGR of Oyo state..What about the remodeling of the Agbowo shopping complex..A money making complex left to rot opposite the University of Ibadan.It will be back and ready to be use two years time..Ajimobi signed a yeye memorandum of understanding that did not see the light of the day and seyi was able to have it fixed and construction started in less than two years in his administration.

And the chairman of it all..The win of Lautech for Oyo state..something Mr constituted Authority could not do and lambasted them and called them names..You people should face FACTS and not hear say and propaganda..He isnt perfect like others,but he is doing well at least for now

Baba Ladoja never made Seyi Makinde, it's Ibadan people who determines who becomes governor and the eat we vote here on ibadan, only learned politician will understand it. If you like, give everyone 1 million naira everyday, whatever we want to is what we gonna do. Makinde campaign wasn't that massive like his main opponent then still he won but now, the man has lost direction greatly which is quite unfortunate. I dislike governor who doesn't know what's next to do to make people enjoy his government, present adminsitration is acting like naked man who entered market with meagre amount of money but go straight to wristwatch seller with the hope of buying very expensive watches.

Your first paragraph makes sense small but what do you want seyi to do that he hasnt done?He is currently construction about 180KM of road in his first two years more than what Ajimobi even did in 8years which was all just 40KM road in 8years.. The politicians are grouping all because they were not given chopping..when they have more chopping,tell me how the people will be happy?tell me how infrastructure and all will be done?tell me how will he pay salaries of pensioners in 10years that was abandoned and not paid..Akala did not pay 2years and Ajimobi never paid.. The problem is with you politicians the way you overhype yourselves. You are just less than 1percent of the populace

And btw,Ibadan does not determine who becomes Govornor..Ibadan has just 11 local government,other parts of the state has 22

Exactly. I'm just waiting for Trump to make that mistake and create his own political party...like let him try.
All these talks of "anti establishment" will end right there.

You see why the GOP keeps on losing elections recently?They are not smart one bit..Trump is threatening them that he will go form his own party that is why they are lining up behind him. That is the reason why..Instead of them to stand firm,but as cowards they are..They don't know,whether he forms his own party ot not,without them bringing him to book for his crimes,they are already TOAST.. In the next 12years or more,they won't smell the WH one bit.

I just dey laugh them..Yeye people
