Well, buhari supporters see everything like sport they support even a failing president, when buhari makes a mistake they all go silent like a sport team conceiving an own goal. They forget one single bad policy affects all citizens regardless of political affiliation. Now that NCC have forced ISP like glo to reduce data allowance, because of other ISP are we not all suffering it? Or when CBN insisted on not selling forex to students and sick people going on medical trip, don't we all have friends and relatives who had to drop out, and people who died yet forex is available for politicians and pilgrimage as estacode and travel allowance,

Having someone with an illness like stroke is a huge financial and emotional commitment. All this people showed him love and help even without him asking may God continue to bless them

ManirBK:
There is freedom of association and campaign for membership so wooing does not apply

freedom under buhari that's a good joke , a man with uncleared cases with efcc is never a free man, should apkabio says NO, efcc would detain him and torture and teargas him till he says YES. Saraki on the other hand is free cause he cleared himself in court, and they know they can't use offa robery to hold him down, because even a charge and bail lawyer can throw out such case

"Woo"? more like buying over or intimidating with efcc or why else would APC want to replace saraki labeled currupt and cleared himself in court with apkabio who have several cases with efcc? Or why would shehu sani a man who is been rediculed and suspended by Kaduna APC be hell bent on staying, like I've always said buhari wants one thing now and that's the control of senate so as to pass bills and law favouring him. Bills like suplimentary budget and 254 billion inec 2019 expenditure, bills like grazing route and colony in all states, and also social media censorship

Anything to get control of the senate, and start passing bills and laws that favors the executives alone, first would be suplimentary budget and inec 254billion expenditure, then would be grazing route and cattle colony for all states, they may even censor social media. should apkabio raise any objection, he would be invited by EFCC, detained and badly beating up in detention, or tear gassed till he agrees

I hope mayetti Allah spokesman doesn't come out to refute this

Sprite bottle with dark content transmission my guy, .... it is obvious that udom would battle akpabio in his only little way, northern kings have always been power brokers since colonial days same way emir of borgu brokered buhari and tinubu deal. This is what I have been telling my southern brothers, lets respect ourselves. Ganduje and kwankwaso are having a cold war, but no news flying around, yet tinubu, Soyinka, falana would insult obasanjo, ambode would publish fashola's miss deeds

when I read what Soyinka and falana said about obasanjo, I knew APC was working overtime, coupled with that kenet actor and senator shehu, and apkabio's body language. A new sambo dasuki is in APC and he is scared of losing 2019 election, and cash is now smoothly flowing same way dasuki used abacha loot, the new guy would do that, as a non partisan barrister and an officer of the law how is he the internal crisis doesn't warrant defection

aribisala0:
So it was FFK that frustrated Tinubu's VP chaances?

He was a part of it, saraki also, but loud mouth ffk made the loudest noise back then. As if MKO and his running mate weren't both Muslims or that stopped them from wining

Ffk playing a wonderful game , he knows how to position himself to benefit from campaigns and election without ever contesting. although I don't like his style but I have to give it to him, same way Jonathan quickly brided him to leave APC and stop blackmailing his goverment. He made sure he frustrated tinubu's VP chances by using Muslim/Muslim ticket was an islamization agenda to force him down

Chemcrown:
That is northern elders forum method of thrashing out issues and differences. You might not be there when Obasanjo is been called to order in a close door meeting (which he might not even honour), you might not be there to witness many things done to caution him. And mind you many Hausas criticising Buhari never invite him to their elder consultative forum. And lastly, people different opinion to your comment does not make them riff raff, so have some dignity by being civil.

Ok sir, the "rif raf" comment was directed at people who choose to redicule me rather than give solid points. I gained information from the other opinions. But bottomline is our image as Yoruba nation is constantly been battered by others, from calling us two faced to calling us cawords, to lazy. Had wish we use a more dignified manner of dispute resolution, if he stole $16b fine provide documents showing such withdrawals and paper trail of its diversion and prosecute him, an ordinary citizen can use the power of freedom of information act to access almost all documents except national security, why not use such? On revelation a Yoruba man (obj) and president knelt to beg a Fulani man(atiku) is not befitting comment

Smart guy, if FG silently unfreezes his $500m trapped in Dubai and free some of his asset while withdrawing his cases, even if he looses in 2019 he has a good retirement plan, at this stage buhari only cares about 2019 and about one thing and that's how to get his supplementary budget and bogus inec 2019 election expenditure (N254b) signed into law, haven't even fully implemented 2018 budget for inec o

desgiezd:
Are you talking of the same Obasanjo that we all know? How did he confront Abacha for not relinquishing power to MKO? The same Obasanjo that hated MKO, Fela and Awolowo with passion because he didn't want anyone to be greater than him. The same Obasanjo that was happy that MKO was not allowed to be president.

Pls get your facts right

Common now? Gen yaradua, and obj actively spoke against abacha. The famous ITT and RCN telephone contract that gave MKO his major break was facilitated by OBJ, MKO consulted OBJ before starting his aspiration

sweetgala:
You are obviously not conversant with facts and history; You also lack a clear understanding of Yoruba people and culture. A Yoruba man should never call white black just to serve a purpose. We don't lie to ourselves about the reality of things, we confront what is not right irrespective of whose ox is gored.

I'll no correct some errors on your part

1 - Akintola and Awolowo had a disagreement over principles aggravated by their supporters, my grandfather was a major power broker and revered by both men, he honourably resigned after officially sacking Akintola.

2 - It is known fact OBJ never wanted to be president after Muritala was assassinated, he famously ran to the marina and was only convinced by TY Danjuma and co; the fact he gave democracy a chance was in-line with an agreement he had with Pres Carter. NPNs Shagari won the election even thou there were concerns about the census distribution, NPN was under the leadership of Pa Akinloye and has such political giants like Fani-Kayode, Adeyinka Adebayo, Mbadiwe and even formed an alliance with Ojukwu.

3 - It is a known fact that the coup that brought Buhari/ Idiagbon to power was orchestrated and delivered by IBB, Abacha et al, Buhari just happened to be an ideal face. Several military biographies of those active at the time have confirmed this, once IBB and Abacha saw he wasn't going to play ball he was disposed of.

4 - Buhari was federal commissioner for Petroleum and Natural Resources under OBJ and was known to have done a good job, even when IBB made a claim of the $2.8B missing that Fela famously sang about a panel led by renown Justice Irekefe found it to be fictitious slander.

5 - You must now know that the northern youth are awakening out of a deep lul, the years of blind followership is over, Buhari and APC may secure 2019 but the days of 12million votes are surely over. In recent years the most vocal critics of PMB have been the Arewa consultative forum and the Arewa youth congress.

I like Buhari and had great hope but the man has been demystified he should have never contested to be president that position would rob any man of whatever dignity he has left. Gowon and Shagari were smart they left and never looked back.

I must say you are well informed and came with a good arguement, unlike the other riffrafs attacking me. But I still insist wole Soyinka going this far would only continue to demarket us as Yoruba, just when they are calling us cowards and two faced people prof is also adding this

veraponpo:
Please stop playing politics of tribalism and ethnicity. What is the usefulness of Obasanjo to Yoruba or humanity?

A man that cannot be mentioned for any good thing.

We know what Awolowo did.

We know what Akintola did

We know what Soyinka did- he brought j=honour to us as a race ( black nation), continent ( Africa), tribe ( Yoruba) , country ( Nigeria).

In fact, we can point to few things that Tinubu did

What did Obasanjo do for Yoruba?

Buhari is more useful than Obasanjo.

Somebodey that oversaw the killing of our Cicero ( Bola Ige)

I see most of you are hell bent on us tarnishing our ownself, am sure another disgruntled man would release a memoir how tinubu is the bigest thief in Lagos, they would not stop there they would reduce all Yoruba politician to thieves. So should we need to negotiate anything for the Yoruba nation all our delegates would be seen as criminals, while the real northern crook would become saints

RevenGeMission:
Shut up already , i went through most of your posts, even though some looks it was written by a smart person, the others look like plain propaganda

Just today you pasted ibo massacres from 1942 , How is that Buhari's fault ? the topic was why do they hate buhari

Then you talked about how appointing children of those who served Buhari was in order

then you claimed Buhari was resuscitated with Miyeti Allah funds , i mean like seriously if you have to lie , be decent about it

You may live in Ibadan as your posts claim , but i doubt you are Yoruba , not because you hate Buhari but how you express yourself online is very doubtful

Its your bussines(or lack of it) going through my post. Counter my point with arguments with factual proof

SarakiBukola:
Okay. OBJ used $6 billion to provide light.

It's obvious.

Some people have factory-fitted stupidity. They are non-salvageable. Better left to remain like that since it's second nature

Show us real proof, $6bn or $16bn can't disappear in the federation account, or excess crude account or any account for that matter with out paper trail.

SarakiBukola:

Calling a thief a "barawo" or "ole" is destroying him?

No wonder Africa is so backwards when we have people like you as the majority

You convict a thief with solid evidence, only babaric African call an unconvicted person a criminal

BlueRayDick:
Which kind yeye talk be this now?

Are u for real? So u think Obasanjo achieved more for the country by being in prison than the great prof Wọlé Soyinka did with his radio Kudirat?....smh...

Which kind yeye Yoruba ronú? Wọlé Has always called Obasanjo out for failing Nigeria when he could've United us all and the only thing u can come up with is Yoruba ronú....

They are giving you fact of how Condoleezza rice and others attest to his selfishness of wanting to endanger by contesting for a third term not entrenched in the constitution and the only thing we should tell them is Yoruba ronú...Abi?

I hope when you realise that you're been used like akintola to destroy awolowo we would speak up in one voice and settle our differences indoor. I maintain obj has short commings, but you can never take away things he did from been major comander of comando forces in nigerian civil war, the first soldier to return power to civilian, the man who made free education compulsory in other region, the man who brought gsm to Nigeria, he canceled and repayed debt incured by buhari ibb abacha regime, while still leaving an healthy foreign reserve

SarakiBukola:

Keep your advise to your own people.

Let me remind what Ojo Maduekwe said when Alex Ekwueme wanted to contest vs OBJ for PDP Presidential primaries :

"Any Igbo who wants to be President is out of his mind".

Nnamdi Kanu : "99% of all Igbo women are prostitutes"

Ralph Uwazurike : "Igbo tribe is the most foolish in the world"


These are real quotes that can be verified online. Any yeye MOD that deletes this is a bigot.

Cc Seun -you have some biased staff

Mr saraki wanna be, speak the truth always but never use your "truth" as a weapon to destroy others. In case you don't know, tarnishing obasanjo's person would not reduce anything to him, he still has his foreign contact intact, if the north and south still want to forge a deal he might still be among the delegates, why can't wole soyinka contact him directly or through egba kings and elders to thrash out differences. They would still use a Yoruba man to cut tinubu to size, but I believe we can do better

Chemcrown:
one thing you should acknowledge the Yoruba for is their ability to speak the truth irrespective of whose horse is gorge. I believe your mother or father as a respective Yoruba/Ibadan man will not spare you for stealing instead of protecting you under the concept of "omo wa ni". If WOLE SOYINKA is saying the truth, he is a typical Yoruba man and kudos to him, otherwise, he is agbaya.

Look I never said truth can't be said, but northern elders forum or arewa consutative forum would rather go into a closed door meeting to thrash out issues and differences. Do you think if a negotiation was to take place with Yoruba and north or other tribe obj may not represent us

sarrki:
Omo Ibo shut up

Ibadan mo ti wa padi mi, I know my agbole very well, counter my arguement don't shut me up sir

raumdeuter:
If OBJ a Yoruba son was there for 8yrs and did not deem it fit to honor MKO and Gani then it took Buhari to do it, then he deserves the votes of Yorubas more than anyone else

Atiku was in the govt that killed Bola Ige a Yoruba son and former governor of Oyo state, Harry Marshalls a South-South man, Barnabas Igwe an Ibo man and not for once did he speak up or condemn it,, Atiku is even wanted in the US for the Halliburton scandal where Senator Jefferson is in jail

You still don't get it do you? Never play Buhari as a saint just to condemn atiku, look Buhari may wear a clean white agbada, only show his daura country home to the media(while having houses in Abuja, kano, kaduna and a land at port harcourt) he may tell you he is for the masses while all his kids schooled in U.K. And married northern billionaire elites. You are just similar to the follower of billionaire pastors like Adeboye, wearing cheap robes and living in secret manssions with private jets and children living large

raumdeuter:
Buhari has the right to reject any pilot appointed to him. He never rejected Captain Ndubuisi

Idiagbon still remains Buharis most trusted aide, If its about monument, Buhari named June 12 a national holiday after MKO Abiola a Yoruba man
Gave the highest honor in the land to MKO and Gani Fawehinmi who are Yoruba men

Why should Buhari reward the children of his friends with appointments or monuments? What type of reasoning is that?

That June 12 honor was strictly political and an attempt to outwit southwest when obj became a problem, Buhari served as PTDF chairman under abacha that jailed MKO and killed his wife kudirat( an innocent woman and a mother ) he never for once spoke against such tyranny, segun awolowo got appointed, ojuckwus son got appointed but why not idiagbon, why?

raumdeuter:
Buharis pilot is also Captain Ndubuisi, Buhari's main trusted assistant was Tunde Idiagbon a Yoruba man

tunde idiagbon was partly Fulani and Buhari don't hire pilots(there are people who do that) besides what monument did Buhari name after idiagbon? Any remembrance? Any appointments for his children? Remember idiagbon came back from Saudi Arabia when he had his boss had been detained

raumdeuter:
Yet they are campaigning and voting for another Fulani man named Atiku

Not all northerners are like that, General yaradua from katsina stood his ground till he was murdered for democracy and MKO a Yoruba man. Atiku married a woman named jenifer an ibo woman, dangote stays in Lagos and relate freely with yorubas

Yoruba destroying yorubas since the days of awolowo and akintola , Yoruba ronu, its funny how tinubu an ally of MKO is teaming up with same Buhari that got the juiciest apointement under abacha, while throwing jabs at obasanjo. Same obasanjo that gave back power to shagari a man from sokoto through democracy and Buhari and co(abacha and Ibb) dethroned through coup de tat, same obasanjo that came back home to confront abacha on MKO's denial to power when Buhari conveniently choose to keep quiet and become PTDF chairman, same obasanjo that was imprisoned while wole Soyinka was in exile. Professor Soyinka, northern youth are mocking you, they see you as someone who disrespect his own to promote others, no matter what they never disrespect their own, they may disagree but never ridicule their own. Ti eyan ba ta ara ile e lopo to ba di owon ko ni ri ra

I am a Yoruba and a proud muslim. If I was Igbo growing up with such information, I'll had probably been spiteful of any Fulani man. For this people to heal they must be giving a lot of time, maybe decades because post war scars and traumatic loss of loved ones concerning almost all families last a very long time to heal, superseding generations

Tell us people who jailed him and killed his mother.. tell us!! mention their names and how they are now pretending to be democrates, tell us how they achieved this by erasing history from our curriculum for so long and pretending to bring it back

abbeylli:
Devaluation of currency is not always a bad move and too our country we needed to, our currency couldn't stand the pressure because our main source of income in this country is Oil and it was been vandalised and oil price was changed which affects opec including Nigeria Saudi Arabia and all, apart from that what do we generate in this country and remember this isn't the first time its devalued most government did it from #1 to #6 to #125 to #210 now to #365 .
But did we question why naira lost value then but now we probably have an excuse .
Currency doesn't really matter for us unless you ask Venezuela .
What matters is are we living fine?
Petrol is always readily available now something we couldn't achieve in years.
Food supply is okay now but we are really lacking because of the crime rate of herdsmen and farmers.
Electricity supply is way better than in the years am in Lagos I've been to Ondo Abuja Ibadan Ilorin and everyone can tell the difference for now and years.
Our roads are mostly all looked into and now if not finished in construction.
What about railway?
Job opportunities now is the problem we have less in people that want to stand alone millions of graduate few companies we need to create opportunities ourselves look at the world billionaires they didn't join any government plan to become successful and our government is trying NPOWER and attracting foreign investors to our land.

We are majorly tackling crime/terror and I hope GOD SEES US through

You see in all fairness Nigeria can't introduce devaluation and petrol price hike in the same year and not expect reaching effects, for devaluation to be effective a country most be an almost net export economy with little or no import. You see I don't criticize without giving my honest advice on solutions. Before devaluation could be hailed, the goverment must first reduce the cost of governance, presidency shouldn't be buying newspaper for 45m yearly aso rock shouldn't be paying 800m for diesel all ridiculous expenses in the budget must be streamlined and most escpecially politician shouldn't be getting forex in form of estacode when a student can't get such for tuition or for medical trips.

seguno2:
You should learn how to stay focused.
Why was the budget for the highlighted not cut?
Should we continue to allow ourselves to be fooled easily?
Abi our mumu never do

Stay focused on what exactly?
Rail is funded on a 20 year bank loan so the legislatures don't give a damn since it isn't "OYEL MONEY" and no Nigerian gets the cash directly except the Chinese contractors.
Look no mumu can ever be done with our kind of democracy, party ticket cost N24m, each delegates gets bribed heavily before primaries, cost of logistic and advert is there, not to mention hotel cost during campaign, yet a senator earns 700k, and a president earns 1.7m a month with allowance not more than the annual salary, how exactly won't senator and executives loot "runing cost" and "secuirity votes",How? So in this current democracy, if you actually see a politician atleast trying abit you should recognize such, because Democracy is just an illusion to keep the poor masses feeling abit among with the elite

Amaechi and fashola two outstanding ministers, even though the ridiculous APC wants them to fail with constant budget cut by senate and executive rascality displayed by Buhari and his red caped chief of staff by prioritizing economic unfeasible project like daura helipad and rail line to Niger and Chad
