smh..tryna start a controversy?? am proud of Nigerians,nothing special bout yorubas..dnt let others come on here and start posting their own feats to claim who's better.. your post should be records Nigerians have made not just yoruba ppl.

This is the culture section.

And I chose to celebrate the Yorubas. This is strictly for Yorubas to appreciate themselves and strive to be better in all they do.

If you chose to celebrate Nigerians as a whole you can go and create your own thread for that.

Don't come on another persons thread to tell her what she can do or not.

If you are not a proud Yoruba man or woman, then reading this should awaken that in you which was non existing.

All Yoruba man or woman should strive to emulate heroes gone past and be the first among equals.

The sky is the limit, only for those who are lazy to keep pushing, the sky is just the beginning of what is to come!!

Sir, go to Berger and Kubwa and go and buy this exact specifications and grade. Best of luck to you!

By the way Ginger smells better than coffee, take a smell of it in the morning Sir.

Buyer came, he fell in love with the car, he wanted time till Monday to get some extra cash as his account wasn't well funded...Not a guarantee it will be available till Monday.

Tick Says The Clock, Time waits for No one!!

I laughed when I read that Buhari appointed Amina Zakari into INEC Leadership. It's not true. Jonathan did. Buhari met her there.

Jagaban and Buhari are currently doing well together simply because in the history of SW Politics, it has never been this successful for the region at the centre.

Now I have a proof of this. Change Agents like Buhari who obviously have no problem in cornering the northern votes is the bride. He was chosen because of his monopolistic popularity in the north. Buhari needs little help to win the north but others in the north needs Buhari help to win in the north. In 2011, Buhari won the north convincingly without bribing anyone, instead commoners donated things like goats, savings etc into his campaign funds. Kwakwanso wouldn't have won the guber poll if CPC hadn't fielded Jafar Isa. Even at that, Kwakwanso hid under Buhari completely to win. Politicians like Atiku, Sule Lamido, Sheriff were all demystified even with their wealth by the unexplainable popularity of Buhari. So choosing Buhari is the best decision by the APC. They need not spend too much in the north sef! In fact, a state in the NE Yobe pleaded with Buhari not to campaign in their state at all as a mark of honor to him......and yet Buhari won handsomely there.

What APC needed to make things work out for Buhari is victory in at least one zone from the South. NC will then become the battleground. Two people were ready to help APC deliver South to Buhari. Tinubu the master strategist of all time whose wisdom is attested to even by his worst enemies and Amaechi the Chairman of Governors Forum and a Niger Delta Politician. The job was simple. Deliver SW, break SS by reducing the rigging that will come from there. Once SW is delivered and SS/SE rigging is minimised, nothing will stop the vehicle of Change!

Jonathan strategists knew this and that is why his campaign programme was focused in Lagos to forestall losing SW and gave Amaechi the trouble of his life in SS. Jonathan did all he could to win Lagos and to demystify Amaechi.

APC strategy worked out! Buhari unlike Atiku and Ribadu didn’t disappoint APC in the North, Tinubu delivered the SW and SS/SE rigging was cut to size. Sweet victory! PDP hasn't recovered till date.

Immediately after this victory, power hijackers have began their usual game! Before the swearing in, Atiku attempted to hijack him. It failed in the end. During the NASS leadership election, Saraki also attempted it but failed. Until recently when Buhari AGF sued Saraki directly, a lot of gullible onliners had thought Buhari was backing Saraki. The Northern Oligarchy too attempted same. They wanted to hijack him so that if he didn't want to contest in 2019, they can still retain power. That is why Tinubu always says Buhari will run again!

POWER SHARING......

Recall during GEJ, SW was the victim of victimisation. It was OBJ that super imposed GEJ but GEJ super imposed marginalisation on SW. It was ridiculous. SW worst were used to oppressed its best by GEJ. The effect; Obanikoro was minister, Kashamu was Senator and Fayose was Governor! God saved us from Omisore and Folarin.

But things are different now. 180 degrees.

Buhari’s main adviser unofficially and truly is Mallami Daura. Just like Bisi Akande is to Tinubu. That is just natural. S.O Gbadamosi was also Awolowo's main adviser while Mabogunje and Fashawe were Obasanjo's! Edwin Clark was Jonathan's. This is natural considering the geographical affinity. The most important thing is the type of advice u get.

While Buhari becomes the President, Tinubu nominated the VP. Buhari nominated his Chief of Staff while Tinubu nominated the SGF! U may ask why Tinubu nominated a Christian northerner from Adanawa as SGF, Ask Atiku who is feeling the heat.

Buhari nominated his NSA, against all odds, he refused to pick Dambazzua who was highly favoured by some powerful northern group. Again, Buhari didn’t make Dambazzua Defence Minister as also envisaged! But Dambazzua was head of his security during campaign and he did well. Buhari will not spare him if the recent defence probe indicted him.

Tinubu nominated Adefulire, Fowler, Dabiri, Akabueze and all his foot soldiers like Fashola, Fayemi, Lai Mohammed(at the expense of Saraki in Kwara. (That is how far Buhari can go for a trusted ally) , the current policy adviser to the President among others were given prominent roles to play.

Amaechi on the other hand, was given Transport Ministry, NIMASA, NDDC which he nominated Rivers State indigenes to occupy!

Although, there are more posts still coming, the only region that has not been very lucky is the SE. One of the things responsible for this is the region's inability to live under the current realities. Just like the PDP had lost touch on how to give us credible opposition, the SE too has lost touch with what it needs to do to get its share in the Buhari government. However, as a leader, the president needs to help the SE realise itself and bring it to play prominent role in the nation’s development agenda.

Secret Recruitment is never done by Buhari but his appointees. Their behaviour is not different from the hijack of NASS. Buhari is not a man that forgives impunity just that Nigerians too are not a people that adore patience!

Buhari has done well in the area security and war on corruption. Our global perception is beautiful currently. US has promised to help us in the war on corruption and had advised Nigeria politicians to stop using its nation to launder loots. Same with UAE. And recently, Rawlings. Deregulation is gradually gaining successful entry into our economy and Diversification has become real agenda.

The economy is currently bad and even worse due to Saboteurs from ND. It is good that the President has adopted a carrot approach. I believe that we must include credible private sector guys in the economic team. By this time next year, I believe we will start feeling the Change in our economy too.

Lastly, there are several attempts by many power blocs to hijack Buhari but all of them had met a brick wall. That is Buhari for you.

I'm not his spokesman and will never be. I only say what I see and know. NIGERIA will be great this time around.

Happy weekend friends.

AntiWailer:
This is not 2005.

It is 2004

I have been expecting this

It is 2005 model on the belt.

Am sure it's because of the tail lights u assumed it's 2004 model right??

WRONG!!!

The rear light is part of the modification done to the car by the first owner overseas. And its not even the regular 2003-2004 tail lights you see around. That's what the owner wanted on his ride instead of the boring 2005 tail lights.

And did I tell you guys that the Car Has Parking Assist Sensors?

Now u understand when i say it was customized straight from the Honda Factory and not some road side parts dealer in Ladipo!!


Errmmm Bros, if you want this car... Come and collect it... ***in Don Jazzy Voice**

If you want this car, pick up your phone and call Roy65 Autos on 07051408241.

More of the interior....

Here is unarguably the cleanest dopest and eye popping Honda Accord 2005 aka EOD available for sale in Lagos.

All leather interior, formica finish, Alloy wheels, never used Extra tyre with Alloy wheels.

The best part? Mileage is just 86k

For more info call Roy65 Autos on 07051408241.

There are too many inconsistencies with this car's model. The interior displays an XLE model, the logo on the back says it's LE model while the front grill and tail lights show its a hybrid.

Checking the engine it's definitely not a hybrid.

Conclusion
The car is originally Hybrid and the hybrid system was replaced to become a normal Camry engine system.

Note: I might be wrong though, stand to be corrected.

Even though am not a Christian but I find these points valuable to women who wants to make their marriage work.
I decided to share from a friend's Facebook time line.

Do we all agree, that after all the "hellish period" of the past Six months, things seems to be gradually crawling back up for the better?

The issue of food prices going up has prompted a massive increase in agricultural farming with new States joining in the production of rice.
The tomato "Ebola disease" has created new methods of farming for tomatoes to grow indoors which are of high yield.


Fuel has become like "pure water" where filling stations continue to beg people along tjr road to come amd buy from them. This is continuously crashing the price of PMS around the country.

The road constructions all over the country has been kicked off again by the ministry of works and a genuine time frame has been put up to complete the projects.

If not for the activities of the "scavengers" calling themselves Avengers, the gas pipelines would have been producing and supplying our sub stations to keep the electricity stable.
I believe in due time we will get the electricity issues right too.

The naira is gradually fighting back with the exchange rate down to 288 naira to a dollar as at today 20th June 2016!!! And it surely will get better!!

These are a few of the noticeable changes going on and it gladdens the mind to know that finally, Nigeria is back on its feet and running, The Sun is back in the sky shinning. Let's all join hands together and keep the country alive!!!



God bless Nigeria!!!

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT.

THIS IS TO INFORM ALL AND SUNDRY THAT HENCEFORTH I SHALL BE USING GMB TO REFER TO OUR PRESIDENT, NO LONGER PMB. THE G IS NOT GENERAL BUT GODWIN.

GODWIN MOHAMMADU BUHARI, GMB. YOU WILL AGREE WITH ME THAT GOD HAS WON THE BATTLES FOR OUR PRESIDENT.

THE RUMOUR MONGERS ARE NOW ASHAMED. THINGS ARE GETTING BETTER. NAIRA IS NOW APPRECIATING. THE PRICE OF GOODS ARE COMING DOWN. YOU CAN NOW GET RICE AT 13K. IT WILL STILL FALL THE MORE.

THE CHANGE IS HERE. THE IGBOS ARE NOW HAPPY, THEY MAY EVENTUALLY BE GREATEST BENEFICIARIES OF THIS FLEXIBLE FOREX.

THE EXPECTED CHANGE IS HERE. IT'S HOPED THAT THE EXCHANGE RATE MAY BE N100 TO $1 SOON.

I WANT TO IMMENSELY THANK THOSE WHO STOOD WITH BUHARI WHEN THINGS WERE TOUGH. MAY UR DAYS BE LONG.
