Well, The man in picture looks younger than the Best Governor Nigeria Has.
But Then it is possible your uncle is younger than you are, especially in Nigeria where Granpa and Grand Children will be bearing Children same time.


Haven said that, the man being Fashola's Uncle has nothing to do with BRF and the person involved have not claimed BRF meddled in her personal affairs with her husband.

She is free to sue her husband for battery and should not stylishly try to soil BRF image on this issue at all.

We all know BRF to be a perfect Gentle man!!

Everyone can see that INEC has representation from accross the whole country and every member has power and will be required for the election to be successful. The Chairman can not tilt the Election in anyone's favour without the support of his other commissioners.


PDP is just grabbing any straw of lie that floats accross them. INEC is independent and is poised to conduct a free and fair election!

I am realy happy that majority of us still have the African value of communal living!.
It takes only one bad child to currupt the whole community of children.
If you catch kids doing what they are not supposed to be doing, in the spirit of African values, please purnish the well well as Africans.
If you do "Nothin concern me". They will likely end up influencing your children one day!

I hope parents do constructive engagement with their Children on sex Education. I do my bit with my kids and then Pray to God to guide them!

So in Doyin's warped logic his poll of 18000 people is better than that of Millions on the Twitter and Facebook, which a larger population sample!.

Doyin is trying to rationalise his failure to his boss.

He has realised that People will GenerallyMarch4Buhari (GMB) and will GenerallyEvictJonathan (GEJ)

SAI BUHARI MAI BUHARI

If Jega"s Tenure ends on June 30th Then in Theory, if the civil service rule apply, he will start his leave on April 1st after Presidential Election. GEJ would have been out then!

However, The INEC can not be left without a chairman and hence if he goes on leave, one of his National commisionals will take over as Acting Chair and this is still bad news for GEJ.
A new Chairman can not take over until June 30th and subject to consultation with the Council of State and to approval of the senate.

Haven said that, My take is that the INEC Chairman and its National commisionals are not subject to the civil servant rules. The rule of retirement can not apply to a tenured position as after leaving INEC Jega returns to the University and will only retire when he reaches retirement age. Also, in the constitution the term public servant was used separtely from Civil servants who are subject to the civil service rules.
The INEC permanent staff are civil servants who are subject to the civil service rules but the Commissioners including the Chairman is subject to tenure as PUBLIC SERVANTS who are guided by the expiration of their tenures. I rest My case

Come March 28th there will be two things
1. GeneralMarch4Buhari (GMB)
2. GeneralEviction4Jonathan (GEJ)

SAI BUHARI, MAI BUHARI

owobokiri:
Jegas last presidential elections were also fraught with many avoidable organisational loopholes although the country just wanted to get things over with and move on after the yarduas mess. The man is grossly incompetent and is highly overated. Take away the 'prof' before his name and you have a character that can't deliver intellectually better than my carpenter. Jega is a joke, honestly! Do we need ask Jega for his certificates too? Prof of political science going into a hotly contested presidential elections WITHOUT trained polling staffs?? In a highly dysfunctional state with charged centrifugal forces waiting to latch on the aftermath of a rigged election to wreck havoc!? I am emberassed! And you should be too!!. Did he also swear an affidavit for his PHD??

Owobokiri, just like your name in my language means one who's existence is only for vagina!. Always looking for one to have it with!. It seems that is a beffitting name for you indeed!. Can't you see, you are one against hundreds on this forum already. You suppose to know that you are in the minority and surely wrong on this issue!. You and your people never knows when to quit sha.

GEJ is preparing for his jail at the ICC and he will be the next one after Lauren Gbagbo of Ivory Coast

deletrue:
Can't understand why apc controlled states, especially the governors are increasingly becoming useless. Is some evils moving their brain regions? How would they expect any armed forces members to stay on queue and even pay gate fee? These are people who are usually on emergencies? Well, I have strong trust for Mbu. No body mess him up and go free.
Am especially happy for him to have been posted to that rubbish area.

So, The previous AIG and all the other high ranking officers before him dont know the law?
Mbu is just an apology of an officer!. There is a rule guiding exemption for the officers on duty and he has not followed it!. But he prefers to wilde his illegal power of force that is unconstitutional!

PDP keeps dribbling me, 17 years after designing its umbrella logo – Gbenga Amobonye

BY LEKAN BILESANMI

Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Chairman, Alhaji Adamu Muazu, in one of the on-going campaign rallies for this year’s general elections, told on excited crowd that the party will continue to do well if it refrains from the habit of using and dumping its members. To situate this statement in its proper context, until 1998, there was no name like the PDP.

The name became famous, perhaps than other parties, because it was the party of choice when it was founded to usher in the new political dispensation in 1999. The name, however, is not as popular as its logo, the umbrella. The party is so popular that sometimes, only its logo would suffice. The now celebrated logo was designed by a journalist, Gbenga Amobonye.


Gbenga Amobonye
However, Amobonye’s effort to the success of the party today appears an oversight as some have suggested. Thunder does not strike on the same spot twice. If after repeated efforts to get the party’s hierarchy to see the need why this unsung hero should be rewarded and, at every effort, there is a brick wall, one is quick to align with its Chairman’s postulation of use and dump. Amobonye wrote several letters to the party leadership without any response. Well, if the letters did not get to the addressee, the addressee cannot be blocked from reading Amobonye’s thoughts on the pages of newspapers.

He said, in one of the letters,” I proposed umbrella to the party in 1998 as its symbol and it was carried with spontaneous applause and commendation. The proposal for the adoption of the umbrella as symbol of the then emerging political party, PDP, was presented on my behalf by one time President of the Senate, the late Dr. Chuba Okadigbo, in his capacity as Chairman of the Publicity Committee of the political association, whose responsibility, it was, to consider a name and symbol for the association, in preparation for its registration as a political party with the Independent Electoral Commission, INEC”. His proposed symbol was not only accepted but was approved by the party hierarchy.

However, in year 2000, according to the letter, Okadigbo introduced him to the then party Chairman, Chief Barnabas Gemade, as ‘ the man who gave PDP its logo, and said, please do something for him’. Gemade never did even when Amobonye had to officially write him. His persistent efforts appeared to be paying off when he learnt that the Special Assistant to the then National Secretary, Senator Aniete Okon, signed a letter addressed to some founding fathers of the party on the issue.

It read, “I am directed to forward here the letter dated 27th June,2001 from Mr Gboyega Amobonye, Abuja Bureau Chief, National Concord Press of Nigeria Ltd, to our National Chairman claiming he suggested the umbrella symbol at the foundation stage of our great party, for your kind attention and advice. It will be appreciated if you throw more light on this matter to help the National Working Committee, NWC.”

Segun Adeniyi, the Thisday Editorial Chairman, on December 15, 2002, published an interview with the late Okadigbo where he said, ” The name PDP was suggested by me at the Muson Centre in Lagos, including the symbol. There was a certain Yoruba guy from Concord Newspaper who wrote me a letter which had this symbol of umbrella, I thought it was interesting. So, I read it out and it was adopted”.

Evidence abound to show that indeed Amobonye was the brain behind the symbol through the collaborative claims of important party members.

One-time PDP Publicity Secretary, Gbenga Olawepo, in an interview with the defunct Monitor Newspaper of September 30,2001, corroborated the claim of the late Okadigbo. Olawepo, in the interview, was expressing his view on his suspension and eventual expulsion from the party. He said: ’You, Gbenga Amobonye, even submitted the proposal for our symbol which we adopted at the Muson Centre, Lagos. Was Gemade at the meeting? That was when we were considering the logo and everything, you made a proposal. You know the story of the PDP better. How can any of these people now say they are sacking me from the party?”

Amobonye said he would continue to appeal to the PDP leadership rather than resorting to legal action over the logo issue, hoping that they would have a change of heart.” I think this option I have been pursuing is far better than the legal option you are asking me about. If you believe in a cause, see it to the end, and that is what I intend to do. I will continue to appeal to them, particularly Alhaji Adamu Muazu, the Chairman and President Goodluck Jonathan, the party leader, to see my little contribution to what the party is today and duly acknowledge it .

I have written another letter to the President explaining my stand on the issue. I am yet to get a reply. Yes, it is true that this is an intellectual property issue which ordinarily should resort to litigation. But what do I stand to benefit ultimately if I drag the party to court? If my design, which is my sweat, is appreciated by the party and adopted it as its official symbol, and the same party is now the largest on the continent, apart from being the ruling party since about 16 years now, I should be glad that my effort is what everybody is trying to associate with. So, I will continue to appeal to them, particularly through your widely read medium”.

Amobonye appealed to President Good luck Jonathan to appreciate his foundation effort that has led to the success of the party today.” I, most respectfully, therefore, crave Mr President’s kind indulgence that I may be so recognised, acknowledged and compensated for my intellectual property.

I am appealing to Mr President, in his capacity as the leader of the party and father of the nation, having failed to receive due attention of every Chairman of the party to whom I have been appealing since 1999-from Chief Barnabas Gemade to the incumbent and skilful crises manager, former action governor of Bauchi State, Alhaji Adamu Muazu, whose letter was delivered and acknowledged on April 14, 2014”. Just as the effort of the Nigerian flag designer, Pa Akinwunmi, was eventually acknowledged and appreciated by the Jonathan administration, let us hope that he would also do same for Amobonye.

Remember that SS is different from SE and Biafra oo.
When the chips are down, you will know that BIAFRA is on its own for another bashing.
More bashing than last time especially from Tompolo and Co.
As for me I say SAI Nigeria, SAi Buhari and MAI Buhari the new CIC on MAy 29th 2015

Macelliot:
Larger percentage of yorubas and Hausas are against Break-up, but the Igbos fully supports breakup. We the Igbos and S-south are tired of Nothern born to rule mentality and as for the yorubas, there are deceivers. The North is really afraid... Northern Nigeria will be like Niger republic.... If Nigeria breakup, Biafra will out-grow Oduduwa & Arewa republic put together....
In Biafra we Stand. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/82/Flag_of_Biafra.svg/600px-Flag_of_Biafra.svg.png

CHANGE as many times as you want, THE CHANGE will PREVAIL come 29th May 2015

SAI BOHARI
MAI Buhari

igeolink:
If u like call GEJ clueless..i will still vote for him
If u like call him Otuoke fisherman...I will still vote him
If u like call him the most corrupt leader...I will still vote for him
If u like call him senseless... My vote is still for him....
Wither GEJ will win or not...I will still vote for him
If u like tell me he hasn't completed his Ph.D...I will still vote for him..
If Everyone in Nigeria should vote against GEJ...I will still be the only one to vote for him
I have made up my mind

Only if you give me evidence that he organised an helped rigg the Ekiti elction would I move on to APC

SAI BABA

He should have refused to even try it and give the excuse that Lagos is a multi ethnic society and that there are several indigenous tribes of Lagos that are not Yoruba like Egun, Awori etc.

Although, this answer would have bee diplomatically correct but would still not have made him to win Lagos!

Lagos is APC and seems that it will remain so for some time to come, until they stop performing!

Is this not the same Aribisala that always writes rubish in the newspaper?
He quotes the bible upsidedown and makes exagerated deductions. He is always insensible.
He will not remember now that GEJ attended OIC meeting and Sambo have claimed PDP to be an Islamic party.
PDP and its apologist will use religion and ethnicity to scater Nigeria.
My Prayer is that the best candidate should win and anyone that wants to scatter this country God Almighty will scatter their life. Amen
