APGA : 302

APC : 621,072

Is there any controversy in this ?.........

kunkcraze: was he convicted or pronounce guilty by d court of law. Were u there when he killed Bola Ige? Dream on.. PDP or not APC propaganda doesnt prove he is guilty, if APC have evidence of this so called murder they know the proper channel to present thier case.

Occurstaem: GEJ GEJ GEJ!!! He has been playing politics with the allocations of the State of Osun since he is afraid Aregbe will win. GEJ may deny this but let him come out and tell us the reason he is not paying State of Osun's allocations for the past 3 months. The PDP in Osun knows about this too. Because they are saying where is Aregbe getting all the money he paying all the workers despite the fact that State's allocations are not yet been paid. By this time tomorrow by the grace of God,the people of Osun shall be jubilating that the people's governor Aregbe has been elected with a landslide victory. AMEN

dagr8: The same Isiaka Adeleke they accused of carrying guns at the 2007 Elections is now also part of them ...shame indeed

Please send them packing

Herodion: You are on point. Many people in osun state are gullible. They are easily tossed about. Imagine them voting for Ribadu during the last presidential election because of Aregbesola.

abuayman: Professor Yemi, may God bless yhu and bless yhur hand also for writing this apt. As for PDP/Jonathan, continue dividing this country on religious line. God is watching.
I simply regretted taking part in 2011 election

Toosure70: and latter they will make u and ur unborn children to surfer. F0o0ol

ola6: Good one! It is a known fact that APC bribe their commissioner of Police in their respective states, most especially Lagos (those on ground in Lagos will know this). This will be one of the best elections. GEJ history will be on your side forever and ever.

Say NO to Radicalism!
Say NO to Janjaweedism!
Say NO to Emperor Tinubu-Ole!
Say NO to APC!

ak47mann: The APC is the political wing of Boko Haram and Boko Haram is the military wing of the APC. Say NO to the Haramites. Say NO to the murderers and barbarians. Say NO to terror. Say NO to child abduction and child rape. Say NO to the cult of blood. Say NO to Almajiri United. Say NO to Al Qaeda incorporated. Say NO to the Nigerian Taliban. Say NO to evil.

Lilaex: Ur obviously a fo.ol ur stupi.dity is amazing. How can a continent prosper or a country grow with the kinds of u..

Kold: I personally don't like to comment on any social media. The reason is not far fetched, I am usually surprised by the nature of comments on the social media by us the so-called future leaders. It makes me weep for the future of the country.

We can blame the leaders for all we care but they say the followers deserve the kind of leaders we get. I will try to address some of my concerns as follows:

1. Chasing the Shadows: The social media has been turned to a place where people from different ethnic extractions come to bash one another. Being a Yoruba, Ibo or Hausa is not what you select or choose, it pleases God in His infinite mercy to make you an Hausa, Ibo or Yoruba as the case may be. Poverty, sickness, joblessness, careless death etc does not recognize whether you are an Ibo or Hausa or Yoruba. I have seen many good ibo people, good Yoruba people and good hausa people, good Christians and good muslims. Vice versa, I have come across many bad Yoruba people, bad Ibo people, bad Hausa People, Bad Christians and bad muslims. No ethnic group is bad, God has created us to do good. I am a Nigerian of Yoruba extraction and I have many good Ibo and Hausa friends. I don't see them as different from me, I love them as fellow human beings and they do the same. My encounter with a few Yoruba people or Ibo people will not make me to generalize.

I have been praying that our generation will be light to the Country but with the plenty ethnic hatred on the social media platforms, I cry for my beloved country and that is part that makes me feel bad about being a Nigerian.

2. Accountability in Governance: I often ask whether we often think as a nation. When I hear people comment about whether someone should be voted for or not, they do not focus on the real issues. In advanced countries, political aspirants are taken to task on their policies and programmes. But here in Nigeria, we focus on chasing shadows. He is a Muslim, he is a Christian, He is a Yoruba, He is an Hausa etc - those are the comments you hear from people instead of focusing on the real issues that affect our lives. Whether someone is a muslim or christian, how does that concern us or add value to our lives.

The political class knowing fully well that we are very gullible often focus on telling or sponsoring sentiments since they know that is what we care about. That is why someone can spend 4 years and we don't ask sensible questions on much money has been received by the government and what have they done with the money. I am a Christian but I don't care if my President or Governor is a muslim or not. All I want is a man I can be proud of in terms of performance.

3. Sainthood in Politics: I have often heard people talk about how PDP and APC are the same. Political parties are vehicles and you cannot stop people of shaddy characters from joining. From my little experience of politics in Nigeria, we have heard people of unquestionable character contest elections using the so-called "Saint" Party e.g. Chief Odumegwu Ojukwu and Chief Gani Fawehinmi of blessed memories once contested for presidency using APGA and NPC, how many people voted for them? What I have realized that we need two (2) strong parties but the parties will contain both the good and the bad. It is left for us to make a choice based on the personality of the candidate. For those dreaming that there will be party that will comprise only saints, they had better be dreaming.


4. Terrorism: With the advent of the boko Harram comes our usual buck passing game. Why can't we as a nation acknowledge our shortcomings and come together to address our security concern. I have heard many people blaming the northerners. While I will not argue that some elites might be benefitting from the insecurity, many downtrodden people are suffering in the north. Many lives of innocent people have been lost. If you have seen the pictures of parents of the Chibok girls, who do you think they are? They are very poor parents that are going through a lot of trauma. If we cannot help them, the best we can do is to keep our mouth shut instead of creating ethnic hatred on the social medium. PDP will want us to believe that it is APC that is sponsoring Boko Haram because they know we are gullible people. If that is true, then it is an indictment on the PDP Government that they know the sponsors of Boko Haram and they have not arrested them. If PDP knows the sponsors as they claim by accusing APC, why have they not arrested them? Do you think that if PDP has a little information that APC is involved, they would have arrested them because it is an advantage to them. It is glaring that PDP do not have any evidence to link APC to Boko Haram but because they know that Nigerians don't ask sensible questions, they will sponsor sentiments so as to cover their incompetence to protect Nigerians.

Conclusion:
Though I have so many thoughts, I will just stop here for now. If the quality of the future leaders are the people commenting on the social media, we had better be scared about the future of our nation. Where do we turn to, God forbid if the next generation of leaders are that ethnic bigots that we have on the social media. I pray God help us as a nation.

eaglechild: Tufiakwa!!

This is who APC is fronting as presidential flag bearer.
Disgusting.

new2020: APGA members are not stu$pid. They know when to act as an opposition but certainly not against their ancestral brother President Goodluck Azikiwe Ebele Jonathan who has served them well. You want an example of staunch opposition...ask Dr. Ngige and APC. Anambrans made it clear to Dr. Ngige, we love you brother but you have to come home...leave that satanic APC party.

hopelink1: we just found this and this no it is right to share it with the good people of osun state as their governorship election draweth near.

We all know Dora akuyila that she is a woman of integrity , obedient even to her husband. She warned SWest people that they should vote out APC because their government is not the government by the people for the people ,it is the government of tinubu for tinubu because APC means Asiwaju private company .


interpretation: osun people should therefore do away with aregbesola , vote him out . Omisore is the right man

tochilyn: I ave learnt that no girl is single, You either natch her from someone or shear her with someone. The most important thing is to be the highest shear holder...

Orikinla: I can bet you that 99% of Nigerian boyfriends have never taken their girlfriends on romantic vacations overseas.
The best they have done is taking their sweethearts to Silverbird Galleria on Victoria Island or The Palms in Lekki.
Only few of them have pampered their babes at the Whispering Palms Resort located in Badagry, Obudu Ranch in Cross River, La Manga Beach Resort on the island of Ilashe in Lagos, La Campagne Tropicana Beach Resort along Lekki/Epe Expressway, Eko Tourist Resort and others in Nigeria.

If I say that any guy that cannot afford even taking his babe to the romantic vacation resorts in Nigeria is not worth dating, the "Jew" guys will get nasty with their attack comments instead of admitting their shortcomings and failures in romance.

Dating a babe is more than going to Mr. Biggs or taking her to night clubs and viewing centers.

Let me just tell the babes to start considering guys based on how they can really pamper you at home and abroad.
Not mere lip service and eye service.

To me it is pathetic for lovers and couples not to go on vacations overseas before and after marriage. And majority of Nigerian lovers and spouses have never gone on such vacations, because THEY ARE NOT ROMANTIC!

The definition of romance to majority of Nigerian guys is having an active sexual life with their lovers and wives. Which is the primitive native definition of romance. Even the animals in the jungle have more romantic lives than majority of Nigerian lovers and couples.

I know couples I have never even seen having a romantic stroll or walk.
The best romantic thing they have done is chasing each other around the sofas and bed in the house.
Sincerely, I feel sorry for many of these couples and their boring lives.

A romantic vacation overseas is a must at least once a year and twice a year for local vacation resorts.
Please, have a break and have a fun trip with your sweetheart and stop whining on Nairaland.
Romance is the spice of life.
Enjoy it as much as you can have it!

Houseofglam7: My eyes couldn't stay open while trying to read.... but I'm sure there are still gentlemen out there.... in Gudu Cemetery.

softsparkyy: Modify wetin
All dem boyz know na to insult women anyhow.
In fact any male,man,boy or guy wey go quote me get smelly ball.

DeLaw3: I'm tired of hearing Omisore killed Bola Ige, where is d proof? A killer still working and free to contest in an election? rumormongers most times are senselessss

nerodenero: They love to rule,the reason we need to deny them this.Other tribes need to rise up against them.The country is bigger than any tribe.They have ruled us enough.

barcanista: Making such statements is just as bad as anything else in a civil setting. Nigeria is so "multi-tribal", the people won't go to the street on behalf of politicianns because they see all as one and d same. Our best bet is @ the poll, the APC should preach guarding of votes and insist on credible election observers rather than such statement. I am confident that APC will win if it fields the right person. PDP has no business in Aso Rock

oluFELAxy: If Aregbesola wants to convince me to support
him, he should be ready to give solid and
genuine answers to these questions:
1. What is the reason behind renaming Osun
State to State of Osun?
2. Who were the people consulted before a
new flag and anthem was imposed on us?
3. How much was spent on Opon Imo? How
many students received it? What implication is
it having on the students?
4. How has O'Reap helped us in Osun? Are
the prices of agricultural products cheap in
Osun Markets?
5. How early do workers receive their salaries?
If early, why are teachers owed money most of
the time?
6. Is the Osun Airport working yet? How many
flights have taken off or landed there?
7. How many percent of Osun roads are now
accessible?
8. Why do you keep giving excuse that federal
allocation is small when you already boasted
you dont need it?
9. Did you really give 20,000 youths
employment? How many of them are still
working under your administration?
10. The youths you sent abroad, can you boast
of how succesful they have become?
11. How efficient is O'Clean? Has it made Osun
Cleaner?
12. Can you explain your source of revenue?
Are you having a budget deficit or a budget
surplus?
13. You claim school uniforms are free. Why
are students buying them?
14. The helicopter you bought, what did you
buy it for? Your own personal use or for
security purpose?
15. As the Osun State 'Chief Security Officer,'
why you angry that more Security Personel
have joined the force in Osun?
16. I heard you promised that Julius Berger
will handle the projects in Osun. How many
projects have they handled?
17. Is your son a dropout? If yes, why did you
give him the over 70 million opon imo contract
and left graduates to cutting of bush under
O'yes?
18. How will merging of schools improve our
performance in SSCE?
19. Are you a true son of Osun State?
20. Have you caused more harm than good?

NB: No insults please.

9jacrip: .

I hear you.
If you are from Osun and reside or atleast go home almost every week, you'll know.
I don't care who wins. Aregbe is not good enough and my kinsman is not even a bettet option.
It will be a tight election no doubt but I hope the destined man wins because neither of them (Aregbe/Omi) should be regarded as the best man.

UrbanMystique: the positive side of investing in things that matter.

while africans and their useless leaders are investing billions into religions and (goddism)... tax payers money are being used to sponsor trip to saudi arabia and jerusalem, the money they could have used to sponsor scientists or students on a more meaningful thing.. they squabble it.
the west are investing theirs into science and technology plus research facilities.


now americans/the west are reaping the benefit of investing in things that matter, africans are still begging a jew/arabs god to come and save them from a simple disease that small research would have cured.

they will soon come and cry wolf about how scientist brought the virus from west as if science is not for africans.

black people.

salaksmana: Wow, now that a thief cum murderer who rigged his way into the government's house, someone who spent 7+years doing nothing but embezzling the state's fund, someone who killed many to become governor and to stay in office has joined APC, coupled with RIG & ROAST, DOGS & BABOON, SERUBAWON & the charm master (the C-in-C of the STATE BOYS). We now know those to hold responsible for any break down of law & order.
