The strange thing is, he's right.

FFK is so, so, so good with words

Na wah for u. What is ever good about ranting? What point can u raise from all his rants? No matter how good the English is written or spoken, a rant is a rant. FFK should learn restraint. Its not everytime one dances in the market place.

@Melvinjames,

I would have expected that you be sane enough to leave two shameless old men in their fight of ignominy. Why do you deify what will ultimately reduce you? Two old men are setting terrible examples, regardless of the whatever the cause, you are standing in the sidelines "hailing"........pity

@drnoel post,

FFK is a classic example of the "accident" that happened to Nigerian leadership. I wonder how and why we allowed a person with obviously an unsound mind to have gotten near Aso Rock, talkless of being a Minister.

Jimoh Ibrahim is a disappointment. One is still trying to reconcile the alleged knack for running business aground, only for him to descend into the gutter to engage FFK.......

Nigerian Yoots........See the leaders you so glorify

GEJ awarded the contract during his tenure. The work was still in progress when your Dullard Buhari refused stopped payments.

The road has further dilapidated over this period.

When next you are not sure of what you are about to write, get aid from google.

Ignorance is a disease.

...and that "GEJ" paid the contractors how much?

I thought Fashola published some pictures on his N78m website that work is 70% completed on the road?

Oya, show us the link or I take you as I have already taken you......as a deranged fellow

I think this is a better approach. Continue with your work, read aggressively at night and at free times, attend tutorials on Saturday. Buy lots of past questions and answer them like creed........

How will it improve their standard of living and provide affordable and standard education?


Infact, who statue epp?

One word: Tourism. People troop in to see the statue from all over the word, and these people spend millions of dollars yearly in the process of buying food, staying in hotels, transport, etc. Not to talk of the aspect of exposure to other peoples cultures and ideas, which is a fast track to economic and infrastructural development.

....Not to talk of endorsements from photos, Souvenirs and items(crafts) that will be made and sold by the youths and skilled workers. Documentaries and clips.........more extension to tourism..........Gawd!!!!!!! help out brains out of "recession"

In the past Fayose would have boycotted such meeting but Fayose knows he needs serious political backing as 2019 approaches and he has no where else to run to. His N1.2 billion poultry case was put on hold because he was somehow (with the help of Dasuki billions) able to become governor again and claim immunity. His house in Ibadan, which was seized during the Poultry scam investigation by the EFCC is still under forfeiture by the EFCC. Then his ONSA looting case is still on. The houses he asked Ekiti state contractors to buy for him in exchange for contracts have been seized by the EFCC. His accounts have been frozen. The house he bought in Abuja with ONSA money and in his sisters name is also under EFCC forfeiture. He has absolutely nowhere to run to or hide after 2018. So people should understand why he's making all the noise he's making now. He knows 2018 is near and he needs to make alliances to prevent his imminent arrest come 2018.

He will try to join APC too

Prophet Fayose saw the future and warn u guys now u realize the North were only after ur vote and not ur progress. Tinubu have sold u into slavery for a plate of poridge.

Bros 2 things....

1.Prophet Fayose? ... Nothing wey we nor go see for this our NL alley again.. No need to join issues with you...twould be a waste.. We all know who consider themselves slaves & in need of "liberation

2. Your siggy & u dey put people for work? No English teacher?.... LucrAtive not "lucrEtive" .... ingrish in tulobu..

When someone wakes up and refers to Fayose as a "prophet", does that not tell you something about the "southward trajectory" of his intelligence?

Mimiko's absence is remarkable. about 5years ago when the meeting was held at Grandview Magodo, Mimiko sent one of his commissioners.......that was the guy who distrupted Aregbesola's speech on the podium over the "below-the-belt" smack statement Aregbe made, purportedly refering to Mimiko.

Mimiko had never shown interest in the DAWN initiative

Sunnymatey:

See unintelligence written all over you. South-West Integration "communion" is well over 5years old. That time Fayose was even on the sidelines. You think this meeting is in reaction to your suppose "marginalisation". Unfortunately some of you cannot to see progression, even if it is used to slap you.

My only grouse with them is that they wait too long to follow-up. The last time DAWN summit was held was about 3yrs ago. Our development needs to move at faster rate

banki: :


why don't you organize a south east economic froum
bring all the major players in the growth and development of the south east...
bring all those rich business men
call the governors of ebonyi nambara abia Enugu and im together

let politics be left on the sidelines
think about development of your people instead of chasing Samuel anyanwu up and down an abusing buhari.... develop your staate

Federal Government collects 50% of all revenues. Buhari should be able to think of positive economic policies.

Do States control power?

Do States control railways?

Bros,

You have simply just shown limitation before even understanding the guy. He means you guys should come together to Reason/Think/Innovate/Deliberate together on how to move South East forward and NOT how money will be shared.

JingoOAU:
But it's a known fact that Fayemi is a major financier of akeredolu. Even PoliticsToday, a programme hosted by Seun Okinbaloye confirm the assertion.

.....and assuming that is true, does it justify the need to concoct lies?

Tolexander:

]Senators also voted against the confirmation of Mr. Aliyu Saidu Abubakar as representative of the North east zone in the governing board of the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC).

Abubakar from Bauchi State was among the organisers of occupy the National Assembly protest. The protest was staged shortly after senators bought 36 cars at N36.5million each in April this year.

imagine these useless and vindictive senseless Senators!

I agree with you

Shame on Zenith Bank H.R. They are very unprofessional to have sacked the man.

They are very professional and I doubt if they will take him back. John's domestic wahala is rubbing off badly on Zenith bank's brand and not business can afford that

Onegai:
Ladies and gentlemen, if you're fighting with your spouse, save your messages. Email your Whatsapp and BBM messages with spouse to yourself. This is simple Spousal Battle Tactics 101. Everyone should know this.

I had a relationship with a supposed friend living overseas, who spuriously claimed he gave me monies beyond what he sent. Thank God for Log of MG, Banks Statements (I logged everything in my account, before paying out) and printed WhatsApp conversations. These things are needed for the day of "problems"

Onegai:
Hmm, he's got enough to prove reasonable doubt. But there need to be witnesses as to the assault to say what happened. Because right now, that's his word against hers. Ivie claims he attacked her and her bf, he claims it was a 3-way brawl and she got hurt by her bf, both of them should provide witnesses. He is on trial for attempted murder of his spouse, not for not paying Child support. Though it was bad of her to lie about that to the media.

I don't buy that first marriage one, St. Dominic's is very thorough about their vetting process. So they would have announced banns in her village so that some nosy neighbour would come forward and they will stop the wedding. He would have been informed of her previous marriage to another man. Catholic church doesn't play with banns in Nigeria.

And they can subpoena her doctor in court to produce her medical history to prove a late-term abortion or not. So he should provide the name of the hospital in Surulere to the court. However, the wife says he kicked her out 2 years before the assault, the messages see her admitting that their marriage broke down 2 years before assault. How come he thought it was his? Unless they were still living together.

If one looks at the dates from the payments, August 2014, they were in school in Abraham Adesanya, so it's either they still lived close to Laura Stephens. And that payment was for 2014/2015 session. But August 2016, they were paying for 1st term in a Surulere school.
There is no 2015 schoolfees attached, so maybe she paid for that year.

Why is her scan showing single gestational sac (one baby) yet he claims she aborted twins? Na so??

He's being charged with attempted murder (the judge scaled up the charges from assault). The Law allows that a scuffle can lead to a slap in an argument with your spouse, but punches and visible beating and any broken limbs or anything that comes to the hospital is Assault.

If he can get a good lawyer, someone that handles Criminal cases, he can prove reasonable doubt to the Judge that Ivie is a an untrustworthy plantiff so her version of the story cannot be trusted and insist on witness account around the area. Someone must have seen or heard something. If they were brawling with her bf, Surulere is not so quiet that someone won't have opened their window to peek and pokenose. Sometimes, an amebo neighbour can be a lifesaver o

There are holes in both their stories. The fact remains, he was at her Surulere residence at a time he should not have been. That is why he is being charged with Attempted Murder, the only reason he would show up at his estranged wife's house at 1am is because he went there looking for a fight. So, all this may help him but he will definitely get a charge on his head. I suspect this info dump is to sway the court into dropping the Attempted Murder charge to Assault. His lawyer is trying to show that Ivie has a history of extreme provocation towards John. So that yes, he went to look for a fight/confront her and her lover but he did not plan on things escalating.

It doesn't matter if you married the devil, you are not allowed to attempt to physically beat him up and get away with it. You are expected to divorce the devil or reconcile with the devil but not get into a fight with it.

1. Fantastic Analysis. You're one of the people that gives hope that intelligence still resides on NL
2. I am not a lawyer tho, but I think John has taken a first major step, i.e. shape the narrative and cast doubt on Ivie's (dubious) version
3. On the issue of the pregnancy report, I will imagine that the first step is to establish the authenticity of the medical report. Hence the hospital will be subpoena'ed to authenticate it. If this is authenticated, then a burden of proof will be on Ivie to explain how the pregnancy "vamoosed". If it was not by abortion, then by what circumstances? Even if the pregnancy got terminated accidentally, which hospital (or Native Doctor) was the evacuation done?
4. On the issue of the brawl, I think it's neither here nor there. It is already established that there was actually an affair, the guy could actually admit that he did trail them to challenge the guy to leave his wife alone. Both will need the security men that tried to intervene to give account of what actually transpired

When I first heard Ivie's version, I told my boss that John blundered, my boss cautioned me that I am yet to hear John's version and that you don't know the extent a wife on destructive mission can drive a man to commit. John should have quietly mopped up his loss and moved on. I inferred from their exchanges on WhatsApp that John felt pained and wanted to psychologically get back at her.....

I try as much as I can to be good and this man is trying as much as he can to take advantage of me, what do i do? Change or continue being good and get trampled upon?

I happen to be a very young landlord by circumstance ie i inherited a property from my late dad let me hold it here.
Now there is this man i rented a one bedroom apartment to, and being that i'm young maybe he thinks i don't know the value of money he chooses to pay it in instalment, imagine him paying 1yr rent of 80k in a period of 5mounts, now the problem is i was adviced to hand over the property to a lawyer, the man has been intimidating me as to why i had to do such a thing.
Pls ur candid opinion.

Hand it over to the lawyer, stay your ground.......you have no business dealing with the tenant directly at this age. Most especially, your safety is also in consideration

Blame Game. I hope you don't live your life as such. When you never take responsibility for failures under your watch you fail as a leader.

This is what we are talking about, putting cart before the horse. Buhari opened our vaults to these govs without terms & condition. He acted solely without NASS but here we are getting to know most govs diverted the bailout. You cannot change the rule of the game when it is on. We need to move on, Fayose response is on point & FGN should always do the right thing including the senate. Disbursing bailout without Senate approval is an impeachable offence committed by Buhari. The Senate need to query why such fund was released without terms & conditions, no control. It is pathetic.

1. Bros, it is better to say little especially when you do not have information about things than to argue virulently from a false premise.
2. You think anybody will release bailout without conditions? Yes there were conditions to bailout, even the NLNG largese had conditions
3. Where in the law books did was it stated that he needed NASS approval to bail out states from a terribly bad situation? Some of you spew ignorance at will.
4. Most importantly google is your friend. Go look at the conditions that came with the two tranches of bailouts........

I think at times we need to subtley tell America to go fvck themselves. There grouse this time around is a veiled human rights excuse at the expense of saving human lives. While Nigeria has been deemed one of the most potent forces in UN operations, it is ironical that US will treat us this way.

But this is a reality check. We need to start building our own strength and developing our own weapons. How much of the military budget is going into Research and Development? India has built their jet fighter planes, so is Pakistan and also China. China recently tested their 2nd/3rd Aircraft carrier...... FG needs to fund a joint project with Proforce/Innosons/any other manufacutring coy/Partnership with Brazilian or Russian firm to develop a prototype Made-in-Nigeria fighter plane and choppers in the next 5years

The fight against terrorism is more about covert ops and strategy. I have always advocated for fighting these terrorist from within. Plant a mole in their midst either by bribe or by Intel since u have some of their guys in custody. It's a thing of morale.

Counterterrorism is a new way of war and not arms. We have enough but as u can see, it's only through war that governments and military divert funds in the name of arms deal. Buhari has learnt from the previous govt and wants to get his own share.

They have the Intel to end this people but someone is benefiting somewhere.

1. You started beautifully till you got to the bolded and started talking as if you're on Osogbo weed.
2. While I agree with you on the covert ops and strategy, there is no evidence that we're not doing that. There's also no evidence that we're doing enough of it anyways. But pray tell, how is America's covert ops cleaning up global terrorism considering that they lost grounds on Syria, Iraq and Libya is seemingly not going away any soon.......
3. Military strategist (which obviously neither you nor I are) knows how to balance the two. With us I see a significant marked progress in that we did some significant things that weakened BH. We cut their food and fuel supply, for starters. We cut their weapons supply mid-way...... What we have to deal with now is their guerrilla tactics, which I believe requires advanced technology and special ops.
