tomakint: Agreed, Ajimobi is miles away in governance compared to the two, this I acceded to in my post, but you must understand that Ibadan politics is more of roforofo fights than standardized politics as being given by Ajimobi's administrations! As for the grassroots politics you made mention of, yes Akala scored some points there over Ajimobi (do your research) with his 'Amala and Gbegiri style of politics' trust me, as much as I love Ajimobi's style of leadership especially in the area of structural developments he needs to understand Ibadan's definition of 'grassroots politics'! My point

U keep mentioning ibadan grassRoot politics...I believe those days are behind us, molete installed Govs (both ladoja nd akala) were voted out easily! We care about development, peace nd ofcos economic growth which is wat we r witnessing in oyo now, I believe ibadan's 11lG is totally supportin ajimobi 10lg of oke-ogun areas hv witnessed more progres combine d two past govs...3lgs of ibarapa always go wt ib...livin oyo 4lgs sitting on d fence...yea ogbomosho (5lgs)is stronghold of akala buh common a sitting gov we always make is mak...do d maths 11 + 10 + 3=24 good lukin wins 4 ajimobi//oyo 4lgs I am not sure buh I giv ajimobi 2 to 3 of dat area

kamelonaire: Hmmmmmmm, am not here tu compare any state wat I want u tu understand is dat ABK top the table

Abeokuta...lol oK u hav bin noticed nd well noted//now beat it...

ghananotnaija: Nigeria is a one-hit wonder. So you won Afcon once, so what? What about on the global stage? Remember it was Ghana that beat the US in the 2010 World Cup, and was the only African team at that point.

Sudan will be no problem against the Black Stars. You should worry about Kenya. When they visited Nigeria, you did everything to make sure they suffered before the match and they still managed to draw. So now in their home turf, they should be able to win easily. Nigerian football, just like the country is only a giant facade, once you kick open the front door, the whole rotten structure comes crashing down.

U are a BIG fool// where was ghana whn nigeria ranked 4th @UsA 94 qualified as afcon champ nd made 2nd round, france 98 nko? Wat about japan/korea 02...Gha waited til 2006 like 12years after eagles made wc debut. ur women football is now dead too, yet to win o(hv lost count ow many times super falcons hav won 9 or 10)...Ghana football is dead, we all saw @ d last afcon ow u were pushed to d semis...MOFOs

dvcol: Guy if u nor know anything u better keep quiet..Ghana pass us for football..don't know about any other sports but football Ghana dy ahead of us...they are 4times AFCON champions..#speacking as a football fan

Nonsense! 4 afcon so what?? Wen did ghana win last, u hav to go back to 1982 pele days smh...9ja 3 times nd defendin champ as a matter of fact, women football, wher is ghana?..hav dey won olympic(No) 9ja has good olympic record(gold nd silver) ow many world cups hav GH qualified for(jst 2) U17 world cup, 9ja has won 3times ghna none(yea u21 gh won in 2009)the only real achievement since 1982...nigeria is tOo blessed when it comes to football//ghana is seasonal goin up comin down not solid at all...

cyril83: fvck! See reasoning, so you don't know there are millions of abandoned project in all nigeria 36 states, come to the point of student handling computer tablet through out the sss classes when they can't handle ordinary school uniforms and textbooks. The project is totally a waste of money,that is if they actually have it in mind to complete it which i believe this would never circulate.

Nicca* Government is continuous there will always be millions of project, for sure not all students will handle his or her device well! If truly ur poor nd u wanna make it! When presented with dz kind of opportunity u cant/wont misuse it...I believe we all went to skool and some still in skool here on NL...so its no news some peeps r wasting their time in skool nd odas r trying hard to make it...that's life

Afam4eva: I never said the project is not a laudable one. Infact it will be a great idea if this can be done in all the schools in Nigeria. But i'm a realist, so my concern is in the cost of acquiring this equipments. It requires a lot of financial muscle.

I almost didn't wanna talk but bin following ur comments nd I hv to say, it is a state govt project for God sake. If they can't afford the project, would they hv embarked on it to the extent of launching nd bringing peeps like prof. Soyinka as guest! And also why r u so concerned about the money, its not like its ur money tho! Osun students hv bin presented with a great helper to assist dem study, how they manage it is left to dem! When we were given books in skool did d govt seat with us to check when d leaves will finish. Sm1 in ss1 shd be able to use dat device thru Out d rest of senior class!! I wish d students all d best nd hop d state records one of d best results for waec, neco nd utme come next year!

Billyonaire: Looking at the bridge, doesnt look like is tarred with Bitumen, looks like charcoal mixed with cow-dung. The Governor of that State may not have traveled out of his State since the invention of Amala.

U obviously don't kno Abiola Ajimobi!! U sound stupid with this

biolabee: technically you dont know the winner until Matchday 38 (Spain, England) and 34 (Bundesliga)

A season takes almost 10 months

Um! Barca was 70% sure of winning dz season same 4 bayarn in germany with about 9matches dey already won and in epl manU showed d sign early enuff unlike last season dat went into day 38! BBA is meant 4 jobless peeps dats all...where are d bba winners are dey really celebs after dat show??

Is there any1 frm ajayi crowther here?? Sup there??

debosky: Please direct that advice at the governor - he is the one naming a public service Ajumose shuttle as a political gimmick.

Speaking of frivolities, it is instructive that you failed to engage with the substance of my post and instead chose to 'defend' the governor.

Do you have anything to say regarding the apparent lack of a coherent plan to create a long term, sustainable transportation system?

It's easy and quite commonplace to buy x number of buses and launch them with fanfare, but how does that address the transportation issues in the long term?

OGA! Park Well, if u ever become Governor, u'll do same or more! D man is workin who cares d name on d buses, when d buses were free I took one from mokola to ojoo nd I enjoyed ma ride, besides if anoda min comes in and rename d slogan what matters is dat dey work more cos d standards are now high...

onatisi: i am not a supporter or fan of acn but the truth has to be said ,ajimobi has really tried in ibadan,the last time i visited my town i was happy with the pace of developmental projects BUT STILL WHETHER ACN LIKES IT OR NOT PDP IS WINING BACK OYO STATE COME 2015

I believe is d peeps of d state dat will decide dat, not ACN or PDP...akala had 4years nuin of notice really occured, I remember on one of his show on because TV b4 election he got embarrassing calls to d extectdey stopped calls from comin thru on a live tv prog...this is a gov workin, it is visible, it is laudable, impressive, and his is yet to talk about 2nd term or not! I'd say ajimobi is by far d best Gov we hv seen in modern oyo state...far better and ahead! Prolly ladoja cud made a mark, buh we sure knew ow dat went![/quote]

Chubhie: Do you know that there are some parts he demolished shops which where all considered safe and not encroaching on the main road only to turn it to a park for his buses? some other parts he demolished only for yess o to erect shops there? some others he demolished only to allow motor park touts and okada to take over the place at the expense of people who had real business. bout losing or not let him conduct local govt elections first and see.

I have nothing personal against him and mine interests are safe but i have friends and men who he rendered weak in heart due to this. some brought shops with over ten million and the shop gets demolished few months after. his next action now after this is peoples homes. if you understand how some people built houses in ibadan you will know people are gonna cry the more.

If only u can back all ur claims up with specific areas...[/quote]

I'm not a military guy but believe me I can give thousand and one strategies to destroy BH without all this military brouhaha.

This type of warfare in your backyard is not about the millitary equipments you display.[/quote]if u not a military person, ow come u can give strategies, it either is an upcoming terrorist, armed robber or something close...wtf do u kno?

The former Lagos State Commandant of Nigeria Security and Civil Defense Corps, NSCDC, Mr. Shem Obafaye, who postulated the ”My Oga at the top” mantra has finally resumed duty as Oyo State Commandant of the security agency.

Obafaye was replaced by Mr. Adesuyi Clement from Oyo State Command after his interview on Channels Television live programme ‘Sunrise’ about two months ago. Since then, no specific assignment was given to him until last week when he was asked to replace Adesuyi officially.

In a telephone conversation with Vanguard, Obafaye promised to discharge his duties with every sense of responsibility. ”I am determined to serve in Oyo State and I know God will help me,” he said.



Mr Shem

Obafaye’s redeployment may not be unconnected with the interview he granted to Channels Television.

His ordeal started when he was asked during the interview the NSCDC website and he said:

“Hmmm, the website is, excuse me, my Oga at the top knows the website”. He again, cleared his throat and said: “My Oga at the top is working on the website and I don’t have them”.

When the presenters insisted that he give a functioning website address of the para-military outfit, he dropped the bombshell: “ww.nscdc that’s all”.

Immediately, the interview went viral and has become so popular to the extent that t-shirts with “my oga at the top” insignia were produced and sold like hot cake across the country. DJs and musicians also did what they called ‘a remix’ of the phrase.

Meanwhile, this latest development has put to an end, speculations that Mr Obafaye had been sacked on the orders of the Minister of Interior, who supervises the NSCDC. But authorities of NSCDC had continuously denied taking any disciplinary action against the embattled commandant.

Where is egyptian mubbarak? Dz list is so not true...

I am happy to be with you today at this moment of your National Convention. Once again, Nigeria is at the cusp of change. We stand at the threshold of history, willing and determined to keep the promise of building a new nation. I am thus happy to be with you today at this momentous occasion of your National Convention.

A similar momentous event is taking place in Abuja about now. That the ANPP and CPC are holding their National Conventions the same day though in different locations to, among other things, endorse the on-going merger process barely three weeks after the Action Congress of Nigeria had done its own in Lagos, underscores the unquestionable commitments of the Progressive Nigerian leaders to re-direct and reposition Politics and Governance in this country.

Before I delve into the details of my goodwill message, let me publicly acknowledge that my Party ACN, and your own the ANPP, have been in working alliance in Zamfara State since the 2011 Gubernatorial elections. Arising from that electoral alliance, members of both Parties have since enjoyed harmonious relationship as members of Zamfara State Executive Council and have diligently been providing excellent services for our people here in Zamfara State.

Distinguished Party leaders, ladies and gentlemen, we have embarked on this historic journey, the first of its kind in Nigeria's political history, because we want to be recorded positively on the side of history. We are, however, not unaware of the huge challenges we would face in this endeavour, and the series of minefields we are to cross in our common resolve to rescue this country from total collapse. It is against this backdrop, that we are gathered here today as we did in Lagos to fulfil one of the requirements under the law to actualize our coming together under a single political platform - All Progressives Congress, APC.

We have heard the Macedonian call of our people and we have set sail on an irreversible course to contest and assume power at the centre. Our undying quest to refocus and, possibly, to re-fix this massively endowed but hugely debased country has made us to set aside our individual interests for a larger national one. For every PDP’s years of the locust, we are offering, in exchange, a new regime of prosperity, fiscal discipline, security and a more emancipated society. "The most pathetic person in the world is someone who has sight but has no vision"- Helen Keller

For about a decade and a half, since the People’s Democratic Party came to power, the development of this country has been arrested and almost stalled. Their strange institutionaliz­ed style of governance has engendered a general sense of hopelessness, despondency and inertia among the citizenry. Since the coming of this government in 2011, all we have seen are tales of woes, gnashing of teeth and the crimsoning of our street with the blood of fellow citizens. Perhaps, aside the civil war period, the unity of this country has never been as threatened as it is presently. All of our national fault lines are growing deeper and the continuous existence of the country as indivisible entity is increasingly in doubt. In just the same way as the entire democratic space has been fouled with fraud, leadership failure and high level insecurity, our social and economic management has been constricted through unbridled corruption and widespread poverty in the face of enhanced revenue earnings to such an extent that the strata of the Nigerian society too has been engulfed in mutual suspicion and fractured with national disunity.

This coalition of progressively minded leaders represents a major shift in Nigeria’s political paradigm. As leaders, and indeed, as political parties, we are convinced, beyond any shadow of doubts, that Nigerians deserve a better country. Nigerians deserve better leadership.

We wave or hold no magic wand but we signpost the fact that a new country and better leadership is possible. What we are now offering is our commitment to changing the past ways that have set us back through progressive thinking, sound and people oriented policies, and dedicated leadership. Through sacrifice and renewed patriotic zeal, we hope to unseat the current incompetent and corrupt leadership.

With renewed commitment, we must make sure that our electoral system is open, credible and transparent. The cardinal points that define true democracy are the rule of law and free choice of leaders.

It is our expectation that Nigerians would side with us by voting right when elections come. Nigerians must reject the kind of presidential election results foisted upon us from 1999 to 2011. The continued

between the North and the South and between the Christians and the Muslims which has been escalating sectarian violence, intensifying bloodletting, and destroying properties flowed from these flawed elections. This unfortunate state of affairs foisted on us by an inept and clueless regime must be halted before the entire country conflagrates.

Embarrassingly,­ however, the 2011 presidential election has witnessed the most violent reaction in the history of Nigeria; and, apart from the Biafran war, the consequential human carnage of its aftermath has been unprecedented in our history. This time around, Nigerians must rally in support for One Man, One Vote based on fraud free and accurate voters’ register. Biometric voting system has become a clear option for free and fair elections in the other emerging democracies like Ghana. Nigeria must move in that inevitable direction.

I am convinced that this bold and historical step by ACN, ANPP and CPC to merge into one formidable electoral machine against PDP, would serve as a major antidote against the seeming total disintegration of Nigeria. The merger process therefore affords us the singular strength of ensuring fraud free and credible voters register by biometric evaluation and thereby democratically dislodge the PDP from power with a view to bringing to end frequent incidences of blood shedding and destruction to property which have become the defining nature of the Jonathan's administration.­ Our streets continue to flow with the blood of fellow citizens who are innocent of any crime. Perhaps, aside the civil war period, the unity of Nigeria has never been as threatened as it is presently.

The events we are witnessing in Gusau and Abuja today, just as we did in Lagos on April 18th, beyond their partisan import, therefore, are but a demonstration of the courageous efforts of the people towards saving Nigeria from descending further into hopelessness, poverty and insecurity. We can therefore not rest on our oars because the need to rescue Nigeria from the hands of its detractors, rent seekers and seeming irredentists has never been as compelling as now.

On this note, I salute you all on this auspicious occasion and bring to your attention that the greatest numbers of the Nigerian people have now invested their hopes in a future with APC. I thank you for listening.

tangent: nice flow, you were consistent all the way throughout. transitions were on point and delivery was okay. i will like to see a battle tho.

final rank: gold.

Delivery from d MC's text...no sir u can't judge dat till u listen to d vocals...

Akwa ibom...liars will steal u know?

djon78: if we sincerely want change in this country, people like fashola, oshiomole, akpabio who are the best performing governors should be those to be choosen by their respective parties as flagbearers, not people that will set us back or play ethnic/religious card.

Akpabio...noooo error
