asha80:Inde destroyed the Customs service. Grossly Incompetent, confused and morbidly corrupt. GOOD RIDDANCE. |

abubkhr:Does IMEI tweaking work with Etisalat blackberry subscription? just like Glo? |
hinwazaka:Fr. Kukah need not remind or tell the President @the bolded, He already knows that. except he was there for other reason(s) |
Osoba may have his issues just as none is perfect, I totally agree with him on this. OBJ is someone I have strong respect and admiration for, I think Baba needs to tone down a little. |
A former Governor of Ogun State, Chief Olusegun
Osoba, says former President Olusegun Obasanjo,
is too critical of people and sees nothing good in
anyone.
Osoba said this during an interview with
journalists in Lagos on Saturday.
He said this while reacting to Obasanjo’s claim
that Chief Obafemi Awolowo was never the leader
of the Yoruba but was only elected leader by his
supporters.
He said, “I would not like to judge Chief Obasanjo
because as I am trying to put the facts straight, I
don’t want to join him in condemnation of
individuals. I respect him for his own strong
points and weaknesses. But one thing I disagree
with him is his condemnation of virtually
everybody and even those around him.
“Wole Soyinka is not good, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala
is not good, Atiku Abubakar is not good, Reuben
Aabati is useless, Doyin Okupe is not to be
associated with. Who then is good?”
Osoba said even the dead were not spared of
unfair criticism by Obasanjo. He noted that even
MKO Abiola, who gave his life for democracy, did
not escape Obasanjo’s criticism.
He said this was unfortunate because without
Abiola, Obasanjo would never have emerged
President.
He said, “Whether he likes it or not, MKO Abiola
will forever be the symbol and hero of modern
day democracy in Nigeria. When Abiola couldn’t
negotiate his freedom by signing away his
mandate to General Sani Abacha, he laid down
his life and I expect Chief Obasanjo to understand
the fact that he became a beneficiary and should
see Abiola as a hero.
“Nobody can claim to be the only hero in any
society. Society is a team. Within our Egba
community, the Ransome-Kutis are heroes. Their
mother was an activist, Fela was an acitivist,
Beko Ransome-Kuti was an activist. Prof. Olikoye
Ransome-Kuti took his father’s nature. He was a
gentleman but was also an activist with his
philosophy of primary healthcare.
“Wole Soyinka is a hero, Ebenezer Obey is a hero;
he recorded over 50 records and delivered
philosophical lyrics. Akintola Williams, an Egba
man, is the first accountant and is still
worshipped today. Society is the totality of a
team. A tree can never make a forest and that is
where I disagree with Chief Obasanjo. To reduce
Soyinka to a wine connoisseur hurts me.”
The veteran journalist, who described Obasanjo’s
book, ‘My Watch’, as a distortion of history, said
Awolowo was unanimously elected as the leader
of the Yoruba in 1966 shortly before the civil war.
He said Obasanjo was privy to the meeting where
Awolowo was elected but only wanted to
denigrate the late sage for reasons best known to
him. SOURCE: http://www.punchng.com/news/nobody-is-good-in-obasanjos-eyes-says-osoba/ |
OfoIgbo:Ya, the Same way Soyinka who risked his life for the SOLELY Igbo cause during the Biafran war (even went to prison for it) was abused and disrespected for criticising GEJ/PEJ style of administration. NOTE: JUNE 12 wasn't a Yoruba mandate. It is our collective will as Nigerians and as a Nation to make sure that our choice as regards the right to elect our Leaders is actualised. The North did not humiliate the Yorubas, IBB truncated a peaceful transition process for selfish and personal reasons. Abacha was power drunk, pure and simple and he had the power till his death. I have forgotten the name of the Northern Army colonel of noble birth that said "though I don't like the man MKO but even if he is the devil, he should be sworn in" because that is the mandate and collective wish of Nigerians. He was retired from the Army. Abacha imprisoned Shehu Yaradua who died in prison and some Northern officers (and other officers from other ethnic groups serving and retired ) who he perceived as threat to his "throne" Lastly, Ezeife wasn't the only one that fought the June 12 struggle. Infact, a lot of people suffered worse fate. Pa enahoro was exiled, Tinubu escaped assassination, his VI house was petrol bombed. Soyinka went on exhile. Kudirat was assassinated. Ibru and a lot of other Nigerians were shot by the killer squad of Sergent Rogers, A lot of the NADECO members were imprisoned for the struggle, not because it is a Yoruba man that won, because the June 12 struggle is bigger than the Yorubas' aspirations as you wanted to paint it. |

Franzeez:Ok you've been noticed, oya take it to the bank. |
winniz:I know you are worthless, useless and senile, it may probably be hereditary, who do you take after, your Father or your Mother or is it both? where in my previous posts did I state the bolded. are those 2 APC SE HOR ranking members for them to qualify to run for The PRINCIPAL OFFICERS' election? All the APC house leaders are RANKING LAWMAKERS (according to the HOUSE RULES which is not set by the APC) even the SS Pally Iyiase from Edo state is a ranking member having served in the 7th Assembly. What is there for you dimwit to grasp. You voted for MINORITY party, remain there, you have no business in the MAJORITY party. Like I said earlier you are a stoopid kid but let your family stupidity remain in your mother's kitchen, do not expose it to the public. |
vickylinco:cool. I miss those glorious days of my darling Man Utd. |
winniz:You are so pained that you are not conscious of reality. Pally Iriase was a member of the 7th Assembly, reelected for the 8th Assembly. This makes him a ranking lawmaker. www.championnews.com.ng/tag/hon-pally-iriase/ APC decides to make Iriase deputy whip, if you don't like it, you can take a rope and hang yourself. |
winniz:Shun hate cos it will only lead you to display crass ignorance. Honourable Pally Iriase is a second timer in the house of reps. therefore he is a ranking lawmaker and that makes him qualify to hold the position of Deputy Whip. The APC did not make the house rules. WHO ARE THE APC RANKING LAWMAKERS FROM THE SE? I ASK. Your people voted the MINORITY party, you shouldn't expect PRINCIPAL POSITIONS in the MAJORITY party. |
Guyman02:Is Akpabio the Senate President or the Deputy? he is the minority leader. The SE is also represented in the minority position in the HOR, That isn't the position Yakasai is referring to. |
VirginFinder:you are a wise person. you sadi it perfectly.We may love and respect Tinubu over here, he is not Yoruba leader. No one person is. whatever played out in the House of Assembly was a game, rather games of personal interests. |
winniz:Do not display your crass ignorance on a public forum like this.those two HOR members from Imo state are not ranking members, in this regard, the house rules exclude them from contesting for the post of principal officers. first time lawmakers cannot contest for the post of principal officers. There are rules to follow my dear, the House of Assembly is not your village age grade meeting. |
Nobody shut out the SE, they shut themselves out. The house rules says PRINCIPAL OFFICERS must be a RANKING lawmaker. Now, who are the ranking APC lawmakers from the SE? not even ONE. In the Senate, not even a senator. Appointing them Principal officers will make the APC go against the house rules. They have minority posts, and in the broader definition of house leadership, they are also house leaders. The reason why the SE was "shut out" is the same reason why the likes of Ngige were voted out while the likes of Oduah were voted in. |
