cremedelacreme:Too hilarious |
Nicknames Nigerians call 13 state governors Nigerians are a great people and they have a funny way of naming things and people. They have a name for everything under the sun. For example, they call motorcycles, Okada. They are very good at giving nicknames to things and even humans. The nicknames they give to people are usually as a result of something, maybe an event. Most of the time, these nicknames eventually replace the real names. Most Nigerian governors have already been given nicknames and below are some of the funny names they are being addressed:: Nicknames of Nigerian governors 1. Akinwumi Ambode: He is the governor of Lagos state and has been nicknamed ‘Quilox’, which is one of Nigeria’s most celebrated nightclubs. He was given this name because he’s said to frequently patronize the expensive nightclub. This came to the limelight after someone spotted him at the popular nightclub sometime in 2015 after he was sworn in as governor. Others refer to him as A+ 2. Rauf Aregbesola: He is the governor of Osun state and is mostly referred to as ‘Ogbeni’. He took up the title of Ogbeni, the Yoruba word for mister in 2010. He is also fondly called ‘Baba Kabiru’ owing to the fact that his first child is named Kabiru. 3. Ayodele Fayose: The governor of Ekiti state is mostly referred to as the ‘Stomach Infrastructure’ governor because he believes in feeding his people and is always sharing food items. He is the most controversial governor. Fayose made the term, stomach infrastructure popular in Nigeria’s political dictionary. 4. Abiola Ajimobi: The governor of Oyo state is called ‘Eji’ because of his gap-tooth. The word ‘EJi’ is the Yoruba translation of gap-tooth. 5. Rochas Okorocha: Some Igbos call the Imo state governo ‘Okoro Hausa’ because they are of the opinion that he has given himself to Hausa Fulani as an instrument of destruction against the restoration of Biafra and for the total islamization of Biafra land. 6. Ifeanyi Okowa: The Delta state governor is referred to as ‘Opolo Eye’ by some people. This is because he has big eye balls. “Opolo” is the Yoruba translation for toad. 7. Mallam Nasir El Rufai: The Kaduna state governor is referred to as ‘Mai Rusau’ and ‘Hell-Rufai’ which means The Demolisher. This is because of his actions when he was Nigeria’s FCT Minister and there were so many demolitions in Abuja and likewise in Kaduna where he is the current state governor. 8. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi: The governor of Enugu state got the name ‘Cry Cry Baby’, following his shedding of tears when he visited Ukpabi, Nimbo, in Uzo-Uwani local government area of the state after they were attacked by Fulani herdsmen. 9. Abdulfatah Ahmed: the Kwara state governor is called ‘Omoodo Saraki’ (Saraki’s House Boy). 10. Abdullahi Ganduje: The governor of Kano state is referred to by residents of the state as ‘Mijin Hajiya’ and ‘Me Barci’. Mijin Hajiya because of his wife’s influence on him or Me barci because he frequently sleeps in public functions. Some past governors also have nicknames that have stuck. 11. Rotimi Amaechi: The former Rivers state governor was given the name ‘Lion of Ubima’ following his fallout with ex-president Goodluck Jonathan and the Peoples Democratic Party. Some also referred to him as the ‘Judas of Ubima’ for betraying Jonathan and teaming up with the ruling All Progressives Congress. 12. Adebayo Alao-Akala: The former governor of Oyo state was called the ‘Bleaching governor’ during his tenure because of his obvious light skinned complexion. 13. Asiwaju Bola Tinubu: The former governor of Lagos state is better known as ‘Jagaban’, a title which has gained prominence, especially among his numerous followers and political allies. Do you know other governors with nicknames? |

The monthly holy ghost service of the redeemed Christian Church of God took a new dimension as the popular Yoruba musician king sunny Ade and his band took the mic to perform live. The legendary musician did some of his popular tracks that got many of the congratulations enthralled as they rushed towards the choir stand to catch a closer view of him and take pictures.

South West obviously started developing before others that is why they set the pace however some other regions will catch up in some years time if properly planned. American states are not developed equally either. Note: Lagos shouldn't be separated from the south Western states because if the aborigines didn't set the platform, the development wouldn't have been concentrated there |
When you see Fashola or Ambode on tv, ask them. You too will shout eko òní baje ooo. |
This is the real End Time dream ooooooo. |
Jose Mourinho :FROM HERO TO ZERO If there is any coach in the premier League or the world that has been famous with the media, obviously MOU is number one either on the good note or otherwise. The downfall of the self acclaimed 'special one' calls for a thorough examination. First, THE CHRISTIANING OF THE SPECIAL ONE. Jose came to the premier league on a proud horse for his success at FC Porto hence, branded himself the bogus title like coaches before him were not specially better than him. A famous Alex Ferguson didn't do such to avoid the media problem. Jose ran to the media, they made him and destroyed him. His ARROGANCE is another factor. MOU is known to be arrogantly proud except for his mind games when playing a formidable team capable of defeating him. He has always underrated the minor teams which eventually sent him parking the second time. The BLAME OTHERS SYNDROME. José is known for not accepting responsibility when his team under performs. He will rather single out a particular player, a section of the team, the referee or the other team. Whereas an Arsene Wenger will accept the blame even after a 5:0 demolition than blame the players publicly. The WENGER ATTACK. Coach mourinho has been the trouble maker of most of the leagues he coached. At Madrid, he caused many unnecessary rift between Madrid and Barcelona. In the premier League, Arsene Wenger was branded the special one in failure. Well, Jose himself after being sacked twice by the same team for poor performance could also be branded a special failure. The PLAYERS RIFTS. Jose fought Eto, Terry, Ramous, Casillas, Fabrigas, Ronaldo, Costa to name a few. Picking up fight with your player doesn't portray you as a good coach. The other players will rather side with their colleagues as solidarity will be needed when their own time comes. Which is why he always claims to be betrayed by the same players he publicly criticised. The FA CONSPIRACY. José blamed the FA for most of his misfortunes but forgot that the FA can't be bullied by a coach. He who plays the piper dictates the tune. He fought the FA in a battle he cannot win and was taught the better lesson. Finally, THE EVA CANEIRO SAGA. José mourinho singlehandedly recommended the brilliant doctor's sack. He could be liken to some of Naija terrible bosses who treat their subordinates like nonentity. By now he would have learnt that what ever goes around, comes around. Truly women are very powerful. While the Doc enjoys her marriage, José still has the litigation to battle even after being issued the red card. MORAL LESSONS: DO UNTO OTHERS WHAT YOU CAN ACCEPT. ( 2.)PRIDE GOES BEFORE A FALL. Good bye the specially humbled one

If there is any personality we will all remember in 2015, it must be that crazy man of the year. In his voice... JEGA WE CAN NOT TAKE THIS. JEGA YOU ARE BIAS, YOU ARE TRIBALISTIC. If you think ORUBEBE makes the list hit the Like. |
This girl saw this equation and answered it in her own way. Please who is at fault here?
