Earlier yesterday, I learnt that former Lagos State governor, Akinwunmi Ambode have been finally denied the Lagos East Senatorial seat ticket of APC, the party he so cowardly stuck to to avaod being "dealt with". Unfortunately, that is the fate of a coward. No woman should respect a coward, if you are married to one, please threaten him to change because he cannot protect you.

Seeing how Obaseki is handling the godfather issue in Edo and fighting like a man, I can only conclude that Ambode chickening out was a very wrong move. Bullies succeed because their victims chicken out easily. Most bullies are cowards, that is what we are seeing in Edo today. Win or lose ... remain a fighter. History will always be on the side of the brave. Look what becomes of a former executive Governor of Lagos because he was too scared to fight back. If some of us had the powers of an executive governor and Lagos State for that matter, who was in charge of average of N60Billion monthly IGR, even the FG will not be able to defeat me. I would have bought out 20 of the 24 or so LASG HOA, buy out the judiciary, and rendered my opponents incapacitated. Yes, with good money, you can buy ANYONE in Nigeria's political space. Everyone has his price and the executive governor had the money, power and all that was missing was COURAGE. Unfortunately, cowards like Ambode even if given the power of a president would still chicken out. Sad!

To fully understand who cowards really are, lets us check what the great ones said about cowards and the concept of cowardice as well legacies of cowards:

Few Things for our Youth to Learn

1. Face your challenges, do not run from them. If you do, your bullies will be empowered but if you face them, you would be surprise as they fade away. Hear this:
“If you run from enemy fire, it will make you wash dishes for the rest of your life!” ― Naoki Urasawa, 20th Century Boys, 19

“That was the thing to remember about all monsters, They love to frighten people, but the minute you stare them down, they turn tail and run.”
― Jeanette Walls
“A man that flies from his fear may find that he has only taken a short cut to meet it.” ― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Children of Húrin

2. Cowards cannot claim to love, they are selfish and cannot fight for their beliefs which oftentimes are the right things to do. As said by these men and women of honour:
“A coward is incapable of exhibiting love; it is the prerogative of the brave.” ― Mahatma Gandhi

"Cowardice is a trait wherein excessive fear prevents an individual from taking a risk or facing danger. It is the opposite of courage. As a label, "cowardice" indicates a failure of character in the face of a challenge. One who succumbs to cowardice is known as a coward. ... and that the bulwark of his historical evidence" – S.L.A. Marshall's

“Our doubts are traitors, and make us lose the good we oft might win, by fearing to attempt.” ― William Shakespeare, Measure for Measure

3. Cowards seek easy way out and comprise by making peace with treacherous opponent even when in position to face such threats
“Tolerance of intolerance is cowardice.” ― Ayaan Hirsi Ali

4. Cowards look the other way, thinking afterall, the treath is not targetted at me or mine. Soon, they realise they were wrong:
“In Germany they came first for the Communists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant.

Then they came for me, and by that time no one was left to speak up for me.” ― Martin Niemöller

5. Cowards always end up finding themselves hounded by their worst fear - capture and disgrace

“There are five dangerous faults which may affect a general:
(1) Recklessness, which leads to destruction;
(2) cowardice, which leads to capture;
(3) a hasty temper, which can be provoked by insults;
(4) a delicacy of honor which is sensitive to shame;
(5) over-solicitude for his men, which exposes him to worry and trouble.”
― Sun Tzu, The Art of War

“Fear of ridicule begets the worst cowardice.” ― André Gide

“Cowardice rightly understood begins with selfishness and ends with shame.” ― José Rizal, Noli Me Tángere [Touch Me Not]

6. Cowards look for excuse and oftentimes place the blame on others or something instead of accepting responsibilities:
“I do not wish to be a coward like the father of mankind and throw the blame upon a woman.” ― Ouida, Wanda, Countess von Szalras.

7. Cowards die in regrets and you can guess even Heaven will have no respect for such
“But often life asks much of you, and you either honor life by answering with all your heart, or you cower your way into your grave.” ― James Clemens, Hinterland

8. God does not respect the coward, rather God encourages the brave and courageus. So, God is always with the brave, not the cowards
"Be strong and of good courage, do not fear nor be afraid of them; for the LORD your God, He is the One who goes with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you. - Deut 31:6

“One must pray first, but afterward one must help oneself. God does not care for cowards. - --"Wanda” ― Ouida

9. Leadership should be the exclusive preserve of the brave. The cowards are amongst the masses
“That gutless pack of hyenas called the masses.” ― Marty Rubin

10. All progress the world has made is a function of bravery. Bravery informed a man flying an object that could end his life and change human traveling, bravery made men to push beyond the ordinary, etc
“All progress begins with the brave, not the spineless coward.” ― Abhijit Naskar, Revolution Indomable

Are Nigerians brave or cowards? Hear the answer from a Nigerian
“Brave men outshine cowards, but cowards sometimes outlive them. Many cowards have had the honour to read the funeral orations of many brave men.” ― Nkwachukwu Ogbuagu

"We no wan die, we no wan quench, so police can wipe your ass and you will stand like zombie - Fela Anikulapo Kuti"

We care more about living even if we are merely existing. That is the Nigerian masses - COWARDS!

That was an inspiring and good read bro. Copied & pasted to my notepad.

So what happened to the funds originally budgeted for these things more than a decade ago?

Going by your tone, you aren't done with it yet. Well, let me tell you something, count your loses, run and never look back. Gambling will ruin you beyond repair if you don't take time.

backnbeta:
I've never used their WAW detergent, but people who do should please boycott their products! A country where nearly all her workforce is casualized without insurance and benefits is an evil one! This is so painful, so so painful!

Noted henceforth.

dairykidd:
Just imagine.. after setting him up to fall u want let am knack face fo tarred road. Teasing and playing with a grown man's emotions just for fun. Now him done finally fall u dey ask advise

Is this not harassment... non physical harassment in a place of work. That guy should sue for damages

The thing just dey irritate me as I was reading it. She knew what she had in plan and is yarning crap here. She basically seduced him into falling. Men often fall when a lady is genuinely nice to them so it was bound to happen.

Dididrumz:
See as stadium be like Bluetooth speaker

The bluetooth device is ready to pair.

Akjwyzepal:
How will you be reversing to catch up with someone after hitting the person you still didn't press brakes you ran over her body again, now was the driver looking front while reversing not to know that the vehicle hit her? This is manslaughter no doubt

That part got me mad all over again.

bjprodint:
from my small pikin brain i think your brother is to be blamed.he should have never allowed his wife move in with his sisters.he should have lived only with you and his wife,then rent you an apartment when you finish serving him.

You talk as if you don't know how you women would easily term such as prioritizing his own family over hers. Some of you guys can be super illogical.

jrusky:
How are you sure he was the one that did it? Don't you think this is another ploy to tarnish black people image? Looking at all cases like this in America history so far you can hardly seen or heard a black man commit such crime.

You can see him asking what is going on in the video

So bro calm down with that your Nigeria mentality where everything is a disgrace to so and so. The damn so called pink or butter colou skin bollocks claiming white are the master in this kind of crime and their folks never say its a disgrace to them. So pls stop it, its too early.

Neega please. There are sick people in all races. Two knife wielding Nigerians murdered a British man in broad day in Woolwich UK. Black on black crimes are still soaring in the US but you guys don't want to have that conversation.

Staged for clout.

When we tell them Nigerian army is compromised they call us names, what do you expect when the Fulani government rehabilitates their terrorist boys and give them official Nigerian army uniform? And daft people will still come out to defend this government and their open body language support for terrorism.

I really don't understand why the United States and other western world have not confronted Buhari, Buratai and their Fulani acolytes in this their atrocities, what other evidence are they waiting for? Why place $7 million bounty on Shekaus head when there are cast iron evidences that are implicating the Fulani authorities? I dare say that a closer interview of those disgruntled retired soldiers will give America all the info they need on Nigerian terrorism.

This is the reason why igbos lost hope in project Nigeria, on biafra we stand.

The US government knows. I read their travel advisory to their own citizens warning them to avoid Nigeria and some zones in particular because our government is allegedly a state sponsor of terrorism. Buhari legalized terrorism.

Epukaa:
Surprisingly enough, it was a friend that mistakenly knocked her down while reversing to greet her in late evening when she was going to do photocopy.

What a pity. Very needless way to go.

What sort of road traffic accident is that within NAF base itself?

Kudeti my playground. Very rugged area.

Queenlovely:
when the USA release statistics of foreign students in America, I thought nigeria would make no 1 spot. I was disappointed. not even top 20.

that is how we hype our musicians as the next big thing and when result come na f9

in this world do your own and forget others. somebody was saying they don't know Wizkid in Ghana, you think say na play

Interesting. Could you help with a link to the story?

CODEIN:
You are the one who is a nincompoop by still decieving yourself that bugari and his herds of fulani arab jihadists dont know what they are doing. Arabization and fulanization of zoogeria. Split the damned zoo

You're very foolish and lack proper upbringing. What's my own with Buhari? I've always been vocal about how much of a dullard he was and still is, my post history would clear that for you. Even myself, I want nothing better than a split but until then, we hold the clowns at the helms of affairs accountable in our own little way. Nxgga fix your approach.

There's always a fool from the South willing to be used as the mouthpiece to defend incompetence.

Psylas2:
Fulani bandit leader brags, says soldiers can’t stop him.

Looking at all these clips affirms the fact that Buhari and his team are nincompoop.

Rossikki:
Trump KNOWS the whole 'covid 19' thing is a fucking scam.

Funny how the ''virus'' only seems to kill people over 80 yrs old already ill with various conditions.

It killed Fred da Godson. He was just 35.

Calling terrorists bandits is a first sign we are not serious in this country.

Eulalia:
And Muslims? They are not exhibiting reckless confidence too? What about all the covid 19 patients burials they attended without observing social distancing? You were in mars when all that happened I guess.

Don't mind him. Rubbish statements.

This news make me sick.

Commonsense99:

This is when the UN should start taking these urchins serious, together with their Fulani sponsors.

They blew up their office in Abj a few years ago and didn't do nothing, don't think it'll be any different now.

Interesting thread lol. May the souls of the departed find peace. Too many history has been rewritten in this geographical space.

When it's time to take responsibility for their foolish actions, they play the religious card and the stupid herds simply oblige.

In power play, those with effrontery to face an authoritarian leader are often approached in 3 ways; wooed and won over, have their integrity compromised, or total extermination. The last two work better in a monarchy.

I'm not going to blame any choice anyone makes on this matter. For me though, I became jobless after horrid experiences with two companies. Basically went back to square one. Dusted myself up and channeled energy to earning online. I don't have a white or blue collar 9-5 right now, yet, I make triple of what I earned in my previous work places today. I don't even leave my house doing these things.

Some married brothers in the neighborhood be like "eeya God go do am", unknown to them that I have more savings and assets than they currently do. I say that to say this, financial freedom isn't about having a 9-5. Dame DASH 101.

Buhari himself is the number one culprit and king of nepotism.

The speed with which NPF released the names lol.

sketcherJ:
you are a liar, u are not pro makinde. If u are, u won't say he really goofed by sending the deputy governor .second man in the state.!!

That's your own problem guy.

MrPolitics:
True but Makinde’s govt also said they we’re not formally informed of the former governor’s illness or his death.
There is obvious lack of communication between both parties

Who goes about singing to the world that their loved one is sick? Well, unless the person needs the public for financial assistance.
