Four Ibadan Guber candidates against Akala is an advantage for him.Ajimobi who lost 2 senators & several aides to opposition do not stand a chance in dis election.

Leave them. Those who think ajimobi is coming back are just blatantly exposing themselves as political ignoramus as far as oyo politics is concerned. Anyone with sense should know that Akala is the most likely candidate to win due to his popularity outside of Ibadan. And now u can see that the shifting of election date is to his advantage cos now he has the time to penetrate even Ibadan where it is generally believed that he has the least chance. U can see how he has been using the extended time in campaigning aggressively in Ibadan. This means that he would have substantial votes in Ibadan too. So which other candidate would have some votes in Ibadan and majority votes in other places?

Ghanians are better in diction than Nigerians

All those chech(churc)....meder (mother) moshin (motion) are the correct pronunciations. The language is english and not native to any of us in Nigeria.

Who told u that? They are not better anything, We are on the same page. Naija is wrong to one extreme side and Ghana is wrong to the other extreme side. How can u say the ghanahian pronunciation is correct? Simple question, lets say u might never have been to either the UK or North America before, but at least u watch Hollywood movies right?. Do those white folks u see in the movie speak like Ghanhians? Do they say pastar or chech?

Let me break it down for u. Lets use CHURCH as example here.
Nigerian, Chuch or Chawch---- Ghana Chech neither is correct cos when u pronounce church u put stress on the middle syllable cos it has an R in it more like Ch-urr-ch. But from both Chuch and Chech there is no R stress on the syllable when the word is pronounced. So what u will have is Chu'ch for Naija or Che'ch for Ghana. Any native speaker will never think such is close unless the ones that have been having African friends

What most people don't know, (even many living abroad) is that native English speakers most of the time, strive to understand u when u speak ur Naija or Ghana accent not word by word but by context. So when u are neatly dressed holding ur bible on a sunday morning and u say "hey friend em going to chech" well, u are already looking like u are going to church so he can quickly conclude that u must mean "church" when u said chu'ch or che'ch.

Fix the grammar blunder on your heading buddy. I am not judging you because I don't know your level of education but just fix it.

Oga, to be sincere, I would have loved Makinde to win had it been he was in either PDP or Accord. Ladoja has an upper hand over Akala and can go ahead to win the election, although he has his own lapses. He could have used someone like Makinde to bear the flag of the party but he never did that.

As for Akala, I can never write him off but he can't win the election at all. If Ajimobi is re-elected, it is a case of sticking with the necessary evil. Had it been that personality is taken into consideration without party affiliation, by the electorate, Makinde is the best bet.

To be sincere, Ajimobi is a disappointment.

Makinde attempting this election is a long shot. He needs a statewide popularity, he doesn't have that yet.

emiye:
If you have taken your time to read what i wrote, you will have noticed that assessment was not about electoral value, it was about how much of devts. they can bring to the state. I know the top three contenders are Ajimobi ,Ladoja and Akala. Akala will be banking o bloc votes from his Ogbomoso, innit? well, lets watch out how well he achieves that bloc vote with a labour party, when he is not even the incumbent.

Ok sorry pal, if I missed that. But to the incumbency issue u raised. Stuffs like incumbency, party platform etc may not mean anything in this coming Oyo election. The game is pretty open. Analyzing that will make me write too much and I am not ready for that.

emiye:
I agree he does not have a waoh performance, that is why i classified him as an average performer, relapse is the best word to describe him , especially in 2014, i guess he was too conscious of the vibes from the populace as regards second term. I do not know much about he has deepened the IGR drive of the state, but my biggest grouse with him is the not much significant impact in the educational sector. Apart from the NUC license received for the technical university, nothing has been heard thereafter, none of the model schools promised is completed within 4 years. I see scores of industries setting up, but there is still large opportunity area in the agro allied sector.

But, of his 4 major challengers in my opinion , Akala and Folarin are right offs that will not challenge status quo, , listening to the Makinde guy speak, one could sense passion and him having goodies on his head, although talk is cheap, his platform is weak. A Ladoja of accord is a familiar face, and i doubt if he will be inspiring, the good governance oyo state needs goes beyond prompt payment of civil servant salaries. The potentials of Oyo state is large, and a brilliant leader needs to unlock it.

The 2 guys u have written off here Ladoja and Akala (excluding Folarin tho) are actually the biggest contenders here. If u don't know this I don't know what u know about Oyo politics. And if u rubbish my statement, sure go ahead. I will quote all the funny statements I have read on this thread after the elections including yours.

raumdeuter:
WHere the bridge was located is in a built up area of town and logic dictates that would be more expensive to construct

Anyone who likes to talk slick about logics should know how to logically construct an argument. U are yet to do that. because the place is congested means nothing until u can logically connect mere congestion to cost. And let me remind u that the governor never used congestion as an excuse, his excuse had been demolition and obviously, no building was demolished.

Why do u want to defend blatant lies? Why?

raumdeuter:
This is more like an illiterate talking. AJimobis bridge was in a congested part of town and a lot more demolition had to be done. I would think thats basic reasoning

Before u call that buddy an illiterate, can you refer to a single building that was demolished at that location. Cos last I know all buildings that were there before the bridge are still standing. Even mere looking at the pictures if u know Mokola very well u can tell all the buildings are still there. So may be u can tell us what exactly they demolished that costs so much.

bataderemi:
makeitplain, u forgot makinde. I would prefer to think he's pretty popular among the ppl, with all d 'philanthropic' works he's doing among ppl in IB. The only person who seem to be hated is pdp's folarin. I would hate for akara to win sha

I agree with you on Makinde is coming up but I hope u will agree with me too that he is not ripe yet. May be by 2019 he might be well known and accepted across the state. Because as it stands, he still needs to work more on his popularity in Ibadan talk less of the entire state. If I were him, I would do my best now and start immediately preparing for 2019.

Johnpaul88:
Why is Ibadan always with old brown roof?

Well its because the politicians are always going to the same area where the brown roofs are. Because that is where they would find crowd. If they go to Bodija, Oluyole, Ikolaba, bashorun and so on, they might have just few passers by listening to them and that will make them look unpopular. A campaign in front of Mapo Hall is sure crowd for any political candidate.

Get it?

Kenai:
Acccording to what some Oyo peeps are telling me, Ajimobi might lose to the ACCORD candidate.
Is this true?
Can any non-partisan Oyo Nairalander confirm this?
Is Accord that strong a party?
Weird.

Ok let me respond to that as brief as I can. 1st lets get something clear. If u want to know candidates that may win in the face of reality, u have to ignore the propaganda and eulogies on social media and beam ur searchlight on what is actually on ground politically. Because that is what will determine what happens on election day.

Out of all aspirants, we have the major contending candidates (ajimobi, ladoja akala) and the other 2 are no contest candidates. Out of the 3 major contenders, the candidate with most narrow chance of winning is the incumbent AJIMOBI. U know why? because back in 2011 when he became governor, The then ACN was able to mobilize an overwhelming political mercenaries in the state to work for him both within and outside of the the then ACN. And even at that, only a controversial result from one local government gave him a narrow win. If not, Akala almost won.

Now Flash forward 2015 Ajimobi had lost all of the goodwill he had in 2011 by his own actions. Any political relevance left for Ajimobi is only on the media powered by the effect of incumbency. This is a governor whom almost 2 cycles of his entire cabinet had left him to opposition parties. He sacked an entire cabinet, they were aggrieved and left to opposition parties, he appointed another set and as at today, majority of the new set had also left. Every single political weight that mobilized for him in 2011 will mobilize against him in 2015. So how can he win?

facebook and twitter can't ensure his victory? Cos the truth is, the market women, mechanics and street traders who will actually vote on that day do not even know those exist.

He is the only candidate that may not have block vote in any of the regions in Oyo State. Its very obvious, he can't have it again in oke ogun because Koleoso who is the adedibu of okeogun was in ACN BACK IN 2011 and mobilized for his candidate (ajimobi)but when ajimobi neglected him and the Lam faction of the party and immediately after the death of Lam, Koleoso who was the second in command to Lam moved out en masse with the entire Lamists who were the obvious majority and went to a vacant LAPOUR PARTY. Today, the candidate of Labour is Akala, the party's political robustness had swollen overnight, So what that means is that the Oke ogun mercenaries whose candidate back in 2011 was Ajimobi will now be working assiduously for Akala in 2015

He can't have block vote in Ogbomosho, that is more obvious than anything

He can't have block vote again in Oyo because Oyo for the 1st time is now politically divided between Skimee Alaafin's son and Kamil who is also now in Labour Party. Ilaka remains in Accord and the Alaafin magic may not work this time around. Because this same time back in 2011, Alaafin was all over the place in the state literally campaigning for Ajimobi. But now about a month to the election, did u hear any word from the Oyo king whether on radio, internet or newspaper? The question is why?

He can't have block vote in Ibadan and that is obvious too because out of all 5 candidates contesting, 4 are from Ibadan so Ibadan votes would be balkanized and shared amongst all even including the candidate from outside Ibadan. The candidate that will most likely have the highest vote in Ibadan is Ladoja because he has the structure and the mercenaries to pull it and that is what matters

So with the reality on ground, I do not see Ajimobi having more votes than both Ladoja and Akala. Because in Ibadan his home turf, Ladoja will have more votes than him, whether marginally or widely while Akala will have the most votes from Ogbomosho and oke ogun axis so what is left for Ajimobi?

As far as I am concerned, I believe Akala did better than Ajimobi. The general perception that Akala did nothing is a perception doctored by the opposition thru the media, In reality, it is not true. Akala did his best. Lets talk about construction opf major roads and using Ibadan as a case study

Ajimobi Dualised 1) Eleyele to Dugbe/Alesinloye Rd 2)Challenge to Lagos Express overhead bridge 3)Onireke Rd 4) Mokola Overhead bridge
Note
Onirekje Rd is less than or equal to 1 km while the challenge road is about 1 km or a little above that, I'm not so sure (its a distance u can walk in about 20 mins)

Apart from these, I dont know any other road constructed by Ajimobi in Ibadan metropolis

Akala Dualised 1) Molete-oke Ado to Dugbe - J Allen Rd 2) Dugbe to Queen's Cinema Rd 3) Ojoo to Mokola Rd 4) Abe Bridge Iwo Rd to Olodo Rd
5) AgodiGate - UCH Rd 6) Odo Ona Elewe express rd
Note
Dugbe to Queen's Cinema Rd is less than or equal to I km
Though Agodi Gate UCH Rd project was commissioned by the newly elected Ajimobi then, the outgoing government executed the project.
Except for Odo ona Elewe which was not completed, All other roads are still in good condition
So the general bandwagon statement that Akala roads are sub standard and have been swept away can never be true cos all the roads I mentioned are still in good condition and bear it in mind that the roads are about 6 years old now. How can they be substandard if after 6 years they are still in good condition?

The reason why I would score Akala better than ajimobi are as follows:
1)Akala was the 1st governor to raise the bar of road expansion and dualisation in Ibadan, the past 2 governors since '99 did not
2)Akala was the 1st governor since '99 to streetlight all major roads in Ibadan. Before Akala there were no street lights, he went as far as using generating set to light them during power outage just to be sure that the lights are on thru the nights
3)Akala was the governor that reintroduced traffic lights in major junctions in Ibadan Lam didnt, Ladoja didnt
4) Akala was the 1st governor to rejuvenate the public hospitals in Ibadan the yemetu hospital was a dilapidated smelly colonial building, u can see what it looks like now. Lam and Ladoja are both Ibadan guys but they did nothing, did they?

Ajimobi then criticized Akala's mega hospital project in Ogbomoso and annex in Oyo as a waste but we can see the massive structure what has he Ajimobi done to better Akala in health sector since 4 years? we can't see anything.

So the perception that Ajimobi is performing wonders, I don't know where it comes from. Oh! I think I know, The almighty Media, they think for u.
And the perception that Akala did nothing I dont know where it comes from Oh sorry the media again? They think for u.

At least Akala understands the imperative of allowing money to circulate in an economy and he did just that by empowering local service providers. when they are paid, the capital stays in the state and it will circulate to the common traders on the street. But Ajimobi on the other hand, we know how much has been said on his policy and capital flight and the result his evident. No money in circulation. So its unfortunate that today in Nigeria the electorate do not assess their candidates based on facts and figures, they go with sentiments or base their perceptions on media projections. Even at that, still ajimobi can't survive Akala's contention. The political situation as it stands has already edged Ajimobi out of office. And by then it would be apparent to all that Ajimobi plotted his own downfall by chasing everyone away and going to the polls using a one man army strategy. Nobody does that!

OP remove the error in ur headline. It should be:

Why did Buhari Cry?

funshint: Nonsense...If Akala is chosen as the flagbearer of PDP. Ajimobi will just go and sleep...#Tura

funshint: Even with the Ibadan conspiracy in Oyo PDP; I doubt if Akala an Ogbomoso man can be given anoda opportunity to rep the party!

Ok thats good, everything will start unfolding soon. Whether you are right or wrong with ur opinion, we shall see very soon. Starting from thursday sept 4th when Akala makes his grand declaration. Remember there have been several candidates in PDP and Ajimobi is not even talking about them. Lets see if he would continue to sleep like u have claimed when Akala declares.

anumide: I really hate it when Nigerian men call wearing weaves/hair extension 'low self-esteem' or 'ignoring our culture'.
Really?
Next thing you know, they'll ask u to start tying rags and. Using chalk to colour your body because it is 'african'.
Psst.
Btw, why are Nigerian men. (And women) always so forceful? Why do they resort to names calling, harsh words and insults if u don't agree with their school of thought?

[b]Well dont ignore the truth in the argument. U just need to reflect and be more deep in the way u think about this issue. I think relaxers and extensions in braids are not so bad because women with it do not necessarily wanna copy white women with the resultant look of the hair styles while they are done. They are just enhancing thier hair in a way may be to be softer and easy to comb or to look longer when its braided but I have serious issues with weaves that covers ur scalp and Gods given hair completely in order to mimic a white woman's hair. I don't know why ladies dont get that.

I have had women really take me as an enemy just because I explain to them that they look more beautiful if they do something with their natural hair. Nope, they think they only look beautiful with fake white woman's hair. Its so saddening. Picture this, a white lady will admire a black woman's hair only if she sees typical black styles like cornrows, braids, afro puffs and all that. But she cant admire a black woman's hair when she has weaves on u know why?

1) Cos she knows the weaves are fake, they are not ur hair anyway
2) Cos she can't be thrilled cos she has a better, natural form of the hair u are trying to copy on her head, she doesnt have to buy it so she doesnt care if u bought the fake hair with ur entire salary of a month
3) On the other hand, she can only admire what she can never have or cant have easily even if she wants to try such as ur afro, ur braids etc

So if black women are wise, they should be a proponent of trying to make typical black hairstyles look cool not quickly jump into defensive anytime the weave issues are raised just as if those who are concerned about the damaging politics of weaves like us just want to bash black women.. noooooooo. Remember u want to die mimicking their own hair cos they make it lool cool?

Do u know why black women are conditioned by the media and businesses to love weaves? because ur weave addiction makes white folks/the koreans richer. They get to sell it to u, its a billion dollar business going from poor blacks pocket to already rich white folks just because u want to look like them. They dont want it, to them its waste but to u its gold so they like that u love it and they will fool u to make u think its cool that u love it cos they want to keep getting ur money. Remember that there are Afro wigs in the market? But white folks wont wear it except when they want to clown, that is how much they wont wear ur own hair but on the flipside imagine how much u are dying to wear the hair of those that wont wear yours?

So it takes black women that think very deeply to understand why they have to stop it. The few deep ones amongst them have stopped though and I love them for that.[/b]

T3Amo: trust me when i say there is no shortage of men, even men that claim to hate weave or short hair... the day i went to my job with my haircut a male colleague said "nah grow that back" now he is like "well it looks ok now?" nigg@s never know what they want, they stay telling chicks they don't know what they want but i see them, saying A but stay accepting A-Z...

men like what is pretty... i put my life and your life on that... as long as its presentable and well done it can be natural, chemically treated, weave, braid, half or full wig, falls, clip ons, extensions etc... don't let men and their loud roar on bullshyt fool you... if it looks good they will like it, no matter what it is or how you got it...

As a man, I wont disagree with u that men like what is pretty. Given that conclusion, I still don't understand why most women are hooked on wearing weaves, that I hate most. There is no way a woman with weaves will look beautiful to me, that ish is effing fake please. I don't have issues with relaxed hair, at least it is her hair its just conditioned in a way. I also don't have issues with braids, at least its still her hair and it looks natural to our own African female hairstyle even if it has some extensions. So if according to you, men like anything that is pretty, then it remains women's problem if they are addicted to wearing weaves cos if they don't, men would still like anything else that is pretty anyway. In that case, their excuse for wearing ridiculous weaves can't be men, they just want to look like white ladies.

I used to ask girls on this issue whether they don't feel ridiculous when hanging with their white friends having fixed a fake long blonde weave they bought with a lot of money while the other white lady have the same blonde hair naturally? That alone is an indication of inferiority complex. Even if most of these black women don't think so, its ok, but the world think so most especially the white people. I interact with white folks from all corners they know very well how to be polite to u while they have whatever impression of u. (What I mean is even if they think u are a dullard u might not be aware of it cos they will still be very nice to u and kind of still respect u) That is what is playing out here, if black women think the white folks think they are beautiful with their weaves, they are deceiving themselves.

itsIYKE: u for trace Russian come Yoruba nah,story teller,laye dis laye dat

Dude, u ve got to learn.

rocgirl: Lol..
Amebo: A gossiper...(Delta)
Okpelenge: Used to describe a thin person. Origination? Unknown.
Nyansh: The *coughs*,and most recently,used to denote seX. (Can't tell what language it originated from).
Lai-Lai: Means saying'no',showing 'disapproval' or 'disagreeing' to something. (It's an hausa word.)
Blon-Blon: Balloon (English)
Sh.it: Excreta(English)
Mess: Farting (Don't know)
Kelembe: Mucus. (Yoruba)

Okpelenge is Yoruba Spelled as[b] Opelenge[/b] A yoruba sarcastic saying goes as thus "Opelenge subu l'awo awo o fo, o subu l'odo odo ya gbaragada" Meaning a slim/slender or thin person fell on a ceramic plate it didn't break but fell on a mortar and mortar broke into pieces

Lai Lai is not Hausa, its Yoruba What it means originally is[b] NI AYE NI AYE[/b] shortened as l'aye l'aye and further as[b] lai lai. [/b]

NI in the context means "not" and AYE means "world" so when u say lai lai u are saying "not in this world" or simply "Never"
Mess origin is english word[b] "Mess"[/b] to mess something up so when u fart u mess the air up

naijaguy77: "Origin" of a word and "Meaning" of a word are two different things, and you are mixing them up here.

e.g.

the origin of the pidgin word "Tok" is the english word "Talk". Also, "pesin" has it's orgins in the english word "Person", these are very obvious things.


The origin of "Okada" - from Okada Airline which was owned by Igbinedeon, riding on a bike was jokingly referred to as flying on Okada Air.


etc etc

Thanks o jare. I wanted to make the same correction but no need anymore. Origin and meaning is badly mixed up in this attempt. Then some words like

Kpangolo spelled as (pangolo in yoruba)
Ororo
Kpekere as ipekere in Yoruba Are also standard Yoruba Words. Its incorrect to completely limit the words to Edo.

And to one guy who strongly believes Akara is Ibo word, It is also Yoruba word (and it means bean cake so don't stress over it.

To the OP the intention of ur post is good tho, the presentation is just a bit

It is either that the OP does not actually know the meaning of word GHASTLY or he just want to sensationalize the story. Whichever one it is, its ridiculous.

UuzbaGuuzba: Hmm. If Nigerians want to speak with British accent, with which accent should British people speak?

Complex. Of the inferior type.

I have seen that a couple of guys have quoted my comment and taking it as inferiority complex. It's unfortunate that u guys don't get it. Britons do not have to speak with anyone's accent because they are in a position of advantage politically with their language, the same thing with the Americans.

Do u guys know that even in America for example, there are different types of accent/way of speaking including ebonics. If any american is ambitious and looking to be successful in corporate america, u must learn to speak very well the standard american accent and believe me, a lot of americans can't speak the standard accent. There are many organizations in USA trying to help american citizens with improving their accent to standard so they can be more marketable most especially in the corporate environment. So if there are native speakers who find it important to improve on the way they speak their own language to better their chances, I don't understand why u guys are talking about inferiority complex here.

If any of u live or have family members living in a country like Canada for example where they bring in a lot of foreigners to boost their population, u can ask them to tell u how much emphasis and money the government is investing on different training outfit from province to province to get these foreigners to speak as canadians as possible. So u can sit down there and wave it off, its ok but u need to really know that its worth the effort for those who are willing to. And by the way, learning an accent does not take ur original accent away from u just like learning a new lang does not take ur originl lang away so why the phobia I dont get it. All we are saying is know ur threshold when u are improving ur accent and dont go beyond it. U can start speaking in an irritating way when u are exceeding ur threshold. If u are the type that has the skill to speak a learned accent 100% correctly, why not?

And to the guy that referred me to the main post as if my post was irrelevant, if u read my comment very well, u'd see that I was reacting to ppl's responses and not exactly the original post.

Good luck.

If anyone speaks a foreign accent (american or british) very well, it shouldn't be a problem at all. If u have a problem with a Nigerian like u who has good spoken English, it must be that u are just jealous of that person.

However, I am not exonerating those Nigerians who speak irritating accent as putative British or American accent. We need to clarify that, I hate those too. But I hate those with bad Nigerian accent who are quick to castigate other Nigerians with better English accent as though they are hating their country just for speaking English the best way they possibly can.

Those who live abroad, most especially North America (US&Canada) know very well that u are at a significant advantage if u are able to speak English minimizing your African accent as mush as possible.

I just want anyone who is committed to speaking an improved accent by learning and understudying the native speakers not to be discouraged by some discouraging comments here cos it can be of good benefit for u somewhere abroad and in future.

I was gonna respond to the original post but this comment right here says almost everything I wanna say. U can't just blame men only, both men and women are mostly responsible for their poor decisions and the children suffer for it.

I don't really like the direction of the original post, its so easy to blame men on everything but women cause most of the problem sometimes by their poor decisions of love for money and selfish interest. And after all that, they still want to claim victim and label the man the devil.

bigheart2013: So on point. The trend is worrisome dear. But everyone has a hand in the mess not just irresponsible fathers.

- irresponsible girls who dated married men and caused grief to wives but they eventually marry and expect to have happy marriages forgetting there is karma. - Chai, there's God o!

- irresponsible woman who marry men because of money and not love, then the marriage becomes a theater of war because of lack of love - Chai there's God o!

- Irresponsible girls who abandon men who labored and trained them for years and married a man from oversea just to travel out - chai, there's God o!

- Irresponsible in-laws who help scatter their children's marriage because of greed - chai, there's God o!


- Some irresponsible wives who divorce their struggling husbands abroad in order get child support and wire money to Nigeria to build houses - chai, there's God o!

- and that irresponsible he-goat, man who dates his secretary, students, neighbor's daughters and keep mistresses everywhere- chai, there's God oo!

- that irresponsible pastor who sees fake visions for single girls telling them they have 'spiritual husbands' but yet sleeps with girls in his church - chai, there's is God o. No, in fact there's ifa, orunmila, sango, shopona, ela, amadioha,

Like I said, you are not to be taken seriously..

U just did what u should ve done in the 1st place, ignore my comment and move on. Just like I never took interest in ur comment until u took interest in mine. Now that u ve learnt to mind ur own business, I can only wish u good luck bro!

aresa: Again, the fact that you registered 15 days ago and every one of the 15 posts you've accumulated since your registration date are all rants and anger against Ajimobi says a lot about your one and only mission on NL.

You are not to be taken seriously..

Oh My Goodness Aresaaaaa!!! Ur point is pointless can't u see? U are exposing my mission on NL as if 1) I am denying it 2) Everybody else on NL do not have a mission or the other. Do u not have a mission here?

Do u do anything aimlessly without a mission? Are u on NL without any mission? Are u just here without reason? For u to have listed every single bridges that Ajimobi have constructed one after the other, do u not have a mission? ur mission is to defend any evil of Ajimobi that is about to be exposed here. If not, why not just read and move on? For u to try to counter every anti-Ajimobi is that not a mission. So if I do not like ur Alpha&Omega governor that allows ppl to die without remorse it shouldn't bother u.

DenBosch: Foool he promised dem bridge and he is constructing d bridge despite d fact dat he lost heavily in dàt local govt in d last elections(Ido local govt)


N.b
despite d heavy population of apete where he lost he waz able to win Oyo state, wu told u he kant win again without dem

U know what? if u are quick to call me a fool even though I am not taking up conflict with anyone here. U have nothing to offer and can't be taken any seriously.

aresa: You register on the 4th of July and all your 15 posts since are all anti Ajomobi so what else is new? You registered specifically to talk trash about Ajomobi and promote worthless and useless Akala?

Save yourself the headache and just vote against Ajomobi, your vote he wont miss because it was never his.

And so what if I registered on the 4th of July bla bla bla? U see, is that the issue at hand here? Is my date of registration on NL killing ppl on Apete bridge? Is my date of registration hindering Ajimobi to do his job. So if u saw that my comment now is Anti Ajimobi, were u expecting my comment to be pro ajimobi on april 4th?
So waht about those that have been here for years that will never post if not a pro APC comment? they are here on this very thread, may be including u too. I started posting just April 4th and u think u have a punchline. Why not bother urself about those ones, I have not even been here for a month.

I can't believe that any same person can be defending such a monumental failure as Ajimobi most especially as far as Apete bridge is concerned. To all those castigating the OP as if is attempting to lie, if u don't live in Ibadan or specifically Apete u have no sensible basis to say so. The sequence of events as far as Apete bridge is concerned is everywhere on the internet and newspapers, why not go and investigate 1st?

A bridge collapsed since 2011 and the bridge is still under construction in 2014 and some ppl are expecting the Apete residents to be grateful to God and Ajimobi for a promised unfilfilled? This guy Ajimobi campaigned to Apete ppl, he went there in 2010 and promised them that he will fix the bridge immediately he gets to office if they vote him in but now the bridge is yet unfixed. So do they not have the right to consider Ajimobi a failure in the face of so many lives that the non construction of the bridge had already claimed?

After the 1st collapse of the make shift bridge, many lives were lost and Ajimobi went and made another makeshift wooden bridge. He went there truly with news people and a lot of political entourage and started making political statement, trying to defend his failure to construct the main bridge. He promised them trhat the main bridge will be completed and opened for use in September. Lets see if he will make it or not. The problem is every Nigerians are now politicians even those who are not politicians still think with political sentiment with little or no reality in their reasoning.

What is most unfortunate is that Ajimobi decided to politicize the misfortune of Apete ppl by 1)Blaming the PDP 2)trying to flip things around to his political advantage. He does this by diverting a few Ajumose buses to convey ppl from that area through a very long alternative route. The buses provided can not even cater for 1% of commuters in that community as its very heavily populated. But our governor immediately bombarded the media with his propaganda as usual via repeated jingles on state and private radio and the B.C.O.S TV that Apete ppl now enjoy "free ride" his government cares for the ppl bla bla bla. This angers Apete ppl more because majority of them had never even gotten anywhere near the bus. But they hear on radio that they are enjoying free ride. Its ridiculous. Using their pains to campaign. Its all counter productive as Ajimobi himself must at this point know deep inside that he can't make a 2nd term in office. It is so not possible.

Thanks, though I am actually not a politician but I am somehow connected to some of of these big names. In some cases directly and in some cases indirectly. So its easy for me to know what exactly is going on.

emiye: well, it might be true, but, i also think one of the Alaafin's son intends to contest for house of rep under APC i suppose.

I think you arrogate so much political powers to the alaafin than he has. Oyo town is not made up of robots, a political leader in the town even called him a common criminal on the airwaves.

Should I tell u something? Skimee is contesting under PDP for house of Rep not APC, it is part of what his dad Alaafin his putting on the table for the PDP. But if u ask him (Skimee) today, he will still tell u he his APC to the bone. Look, in politics, things do not always look like it seems. Many things u might read on paper today or tomorrow could have been completed several weeks prior to making it public. Do u not know that Adeseun had been an undercover PDP member for months before finally making public declaration 3 days ago?
