Archisola:
put forth ur strong cases intelligently.... And by d way did u read the post at all and the informations u r to google.... Do they sound like the words of a saints And incase u don't knw muritala aint the one goin for president... Itz Buhari!!!

...yes Buhari is going for vote because he earned the right to contest and his candidacy must be assessed critically on strengths and challenges and in context of whether or not he posseses the competencies needed to move this country forward.

Where does religion fit into the need for Nigeria to move forward? Can you answer that?

A former governor of Abia State, Orji Kalu, has again exited the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and has quietly returned to Progressives Peoples Alliance, PPA, which he founded as he left office in 2007.
Mr. Kalu re-joined the PPA which he dumped, earlier, in a bid to contest for the Abia North Senatorial seat, which he lost in 2011.
Mr. Kalu first left the PDP to found PPA in 2006, using the platform to contest the 2007 presidential election.
He later served as chairman of party’s Board of Trustee, before making a controversial return to PDP in 2013.
Although he has yet to publicly announce his second exit from the PDP, the former governor is listed as a PPA senatorial candidate in the official list for February 14 election published by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, on Tuesday.
The publication shows Mr. Kalu submitted secondary school leaving certificate, WASSCE, which is the minimum academic requirement for elections in Nigeria, as his academic qualification to INEC.
On March 2, 2013, Abia State University, Aturu, had withdrawn the degree certificate earlier awarded to Mr. Kalu while he was the Visitor to the institution.
The school said at the time the former governor had breached its regulations.
The embarrassing episode was at the peak of a long drawn standoff between him and his successor, Theodore Orji, whom he had helped to win the state governorship election in 2007.
In 2013, Mr. Kalu announced a return to the PDP after he was accused of corruption while serving a governor.
The former governor could barely settle in the ruling party over his relations with Mr. Orji.
Recently, he accused Mr. Orji of handpicking and imposing all PDP candidates for various elective positions in the 2015 elections.

OP,

I want you to dig up Murtala Muhammed's dossier from the archives of history and compare with Buhari's. Buhari is a saint compared to Murtala and yet you buffons worship Murtala even till today but demonize Buhari.

I want to engage you on critical issues of religion and society and politics and society. Many of you regurgitate trash spun off to poison your mind. I will school you today.


Please bring up your charges against Buhari's islamic belief and I will highlight for you interesting aspects of those beliefs and its timing to the political landscape. When im done, even the Pope will endorse Buhari, Islam or no Islam.

Waiting on you my guy.......

Yeye dey vote!

AreaFada2:

Lmao..

In Nigerian politics Obasanjo has become what Clinton is to American politics or Putin is to Russian politics.

You get his endorsement or he will kill your political ambition, period!

Nobody know Obasanjo like Yorubas....and we warned to vote for Falae, not Obasanjo but you all turned deaf ears. Here we are, 10yrs later!

scribble:
IT doesnt matter WHO

look at the MESSAGE

must you try and tribalize EVERYTHING?

Did you obtain permission fom Yoruba before you wrote that piece? You want palava?

Cocacola, if you are reading, i need one with Mayor on it.

scribble:
All that mess Oyenuga Lanre Paul told you is beans and dodo @ Alphaoscar

Look let me tell you if you want to stop ethnic war or whatever wey una dey fear or suspect

then let the Niger Delta have their damn two terms....haba

You guys have been there 8 times and for more than 3/4 the shelf life of this country

The military being in the Presidency should have retired with Obasanjo

The North need to sit this one out because it is a slap on the face of the poor minority group that made your elite people multi billionaires but enslaved the poor and turned them into suicide bombing zombies being slaughtered by any well equipped Army that runs into them.

Hence why Jonathan buying the equipment and funding the former freedom fighter to fight

Tompolo and Asari Dokubo emerged and rose because they gave a marginalized poor a voice against their foreign oppressors

The fact that Boko Haram is not blowing people like Buhari and Babangida up is proof that they are being sponsored by the Northerners

I mean is it Jonathan that cannot speak Hausa or quote Surah verses that is funding them

This country makes me sick sometimes....the Niger Delta need our collective support

We all have to rise against those Northern elements that wont be REASONABLE and let the goose that laid the golden egg have a fair shot to turn things around

Jonathan is working. Only Boko Haram would not let people see

Who is this

Zoharariel:
If your wife keeps threatening you with divorce too often; will you buy a house in her name?

Yes! An Igbo man will become President of Nigeria maybe in the year 2095.

Zo, to every other ethnic group, that will not be a wise choice because they see the wife as a risk. To my in-laws, the threat is an act of bravery.....she is a treasure to invest in.

Ibos want the rest of us to see their threats as bravery and invest in them.

Risky mothafvkrs!

Shyyyte, which one is Obasanjo, can someone help point him out.

This is it!

Clark doesnt know what he is talking about.

Jonathan has spent last two years begging US and Britain to assist to stop BokoHaram. He did so because he believed in their capacity and resolve to fight terror, not because he thinks bokohatlram is foot soldier for US and Britain. The two have refused asserting that the issue does not need intervention from outside, its root cause is breakdown of social structures of support and the givernment can use its resources to influence change in the insurgency nd bring it to stop.

This is what we expect Buhari to do when he comes in.....apply leadership skills to reintroduce discipline and growth bach in society. We need to stop the chaos and GEJ does not know how, afterall he was a sponsor of the October 2010 terrorist attack on Nigerians.

Terrorism is grown in the creeks.

Three things I want to say...

1. The mods are right in bringing this to fp. How else are we going to get the attention of the people that need to know and act in correcting what I call cultural neglect?

2. To those saying Mrs Osinbajo is looking at her shoes, looking at her phone, carrying herself with humility....you got it wrong!

She is the incoming second most important woman in the country, her image, carriage, demeanor will go around the world. She needs to be conscious of that in public appearance. She is not properly attired in this picture, whether she is by herself or in company of the incoming First Lady, whether looking at her phone, her shoes, walking humbly, looking at her fingers, looking on the ground......all that is pointless to the fact she is in public and her appearance does not match up with her new role.

3. This is Awolowo's grand-daughter, forget about Nigeria, forget about Buhari....this public image does not represent Yoruba, period!


Notice to Osinbajos and their handlers - We demand change in their appearance in public.

https://mypenmypaper./2009/02/16/introduction-to-ibo-tenanthood-wanted-yoruba-only/

I blogged sometime ago about my waka waka looking for a house. I’m still searching, and I spent my Saturday Valentine celebration with me, myself and I at Isolo, where an agent took me to see a 3BR. T’was my guy MD, who schooled me in my post: LoveNotes:Dowry Monday that took me to Isolo on Friday, Feb13th, house searching, but we couldn’t see the house, so I was asked to come back on Saturday.

I got more than what I asked for. After filling his form, and talking the property over, the only condition he gave me was that the landlord wanted only Yoruba tenants, and that since I said I was Yoruba, I was welcome.

In fact, this agent didn’t believe I was Yoruba, when I continued replying his yoruba-language questions in English. He had to ask for my ID card to make sure, and I had to tell him I was Obama’s Nigerian junior brother who couldn’t dish out the local lingo. I decided to ask this  oga, ‘baba KK’ for this discussion why the landlord was so tribalistic, wanting only Yorubas as tenants. He gave me a whole lot of reasons, many of which made my day. I never imagined such things could be happening.

Wahala dey for this world o. P.s: I’m saying it like I heard it, no pun intended. The following are some Introduction to Ibo tenanthood lessons I received.

Ibos don’t send. They are eager to pay the first rent and pack into your house, but na wahala to collect every other rental payment. Even when defaulting to pay rent, after the first tenure(usually 2-years) expire, they will go and call their brother and sister in the police to make trouble with the landlord. They can even go to court because you asked them to pay their rent or pack out of your house. Then when court postpone the case up and down, wetin man go do? If you drive them out of the house by force, the wahala go dey for your head because they go say case dey for court, but they no go pay for your rent o.
Ibo’s no get straight forward business, neither do they have a steady source of income. Even Ibo wey go tell you say na bank hin dey work, na lie. You better be careful of an Ibo man that tells you he’s a business man. See, my broda, even if Ibo man dey buy new new car, new new Jeep everyday, he will not pay you rent, and na wahala he go dey find. He go dey tell you say his container dey somewhere for Port Harcourt, and he dey wait for am, before he pay rent, yet if you see the expensive phone wey he go carry for hand, you sef go hala.
Ibo tenant go rent your house, live there and make it a warehouse: an ibo tenant might soon convert his rented residence into an office, a store, a warehouse where he could store a lot of things: spare parts, electronics, even fish etc., or a mechanic workshop regardless of whether the house/apartment dey upstairs or downstairs.

I came in at this point to tell my agent informant, baba KK that I’ve never seen a mechanic workshop on the third floor of a building that was upstairs. He laughed and laughed and told me I hadn’t seen anything yet. He continued: ‘see, if house get 3rd floor, and you rent am to Ibo, he fit convert am to mechanic workshop’. Now that’s funny.
See, business sense don destroy Ibo: Ibo tenant? they go rent your house, you go see them pack in, but you no go know when they go packout, and become their own landlord. He explained that its possible for an Ibo tenant to pack to another house and rent out your house to a 3rd party without your consent. Worse, they will now rent it out to another Ibo tenant, usually a relative. The new occupants will not recognize you as landlord, especially if you weren’t informed when your original Ibo tenant was packing out, and you’ll not be able to locate the person you originally rented the house to. At the end of the day, na police wahala, as you’ll be at logger-heads with the actual people living in the house, who will show you payment receipt of money that has not entered your own account, 1-year / 2-years after the original tenure of people you rented it out to expired.
Ibo woman wahala dey too much: See, if Ibo rent your house and pack in, you better be careful if he get ibo wife. Na your own trouble, as landlord, wey that woman go dey find. If you get to your own house and see shit everywhere, and you ask the woman say, madam, wetin dey happen, why is this place like this? You know wetin she go ask you? She fit call you idiot for even talking to am in the first place, for even telling her to take care of the house wey she dey live? Dem no know how to use anoda persons thing well. If na their own, they go care for am, do am well, but if na for anoda person, kai, dey go use am as if no be human being dey live for the house. Wahala don start be that o, when her husband come, na wetin no happen she go tell her husband and then that one too go dey find your trouble.  See, my boy, if Ibo use car, u no fit sell that thing for shinshin anymore.
See, if someone come to me and say he wan make I help am find tenant for hin house, the first question I go ask be say, who the last tenant be? If he say na Ibo, I go tell am say I no dey do. If you see house wey ibo pack out from ehn, ah, God himself no go dey happy say na human being use house like that. You no go know whether na human being or na animal live there. In fact, if ibo pack out of your house, you go need to get bank loan to put the house in order before another person fit pack in o.

If you rent out your house to ibo, if Ibo do anything to that house, like put keylock, window glass, even nail for wall wey hin use hang his own picture for wall, he go remove everything when he dey pack out. Any kin thing no matter how small, dem go remove am. Ibo go remove the bulb wey he use last. If na him do electrical work, he go remove am, he go remove the electrical cable, and the way he go remove am ehn, na be say he and the house dey fight. See, if Ibo fit remove the paint wey hin use paint house, he go remove am when he dey pack out.

I laughed until I I was tired. The passion with which baba KK schooled me out of his own experiences was most amazing. All I could imagine was the face of whoever Ibo man/woman who had dealt with baba KK in times past. Honestly, I shed a tear. I was so surprised.

p.s: the Landlord is not a Yoruba man, neither is he Ibo.

In my mind, all I could say was ‘wahala dey for this country o’, and meanwhile, I could not help thinking about my guy MD, my Coz, and my other Ibo in-law on the way…how all these guys will fare, for going down east to take their brides, etc. So I asked baba KK if this landlord we were waiting for would accept a Yoruba man married to an Ibo woman as his tenants. According to baba KK, an Ibo woman who marries a Yoruba man is not Ibo. Now that was a stunner.

I rested my case right there.

Now, its time for you to speak up. With all the allegations against Ibo tenants listed above, which can you relate with?

theV0ice:
MayorofLagos tun gbe tun tun de o

which one be all this high diplomatic things abeg?

Make dem cool down first jare

Lmao...
My brother its a tragedy to see what GEJ has done to the youths. We need to rehabilitate the spirit and heal society.

shevon:
You people should stop making inferences that can cause issue in the polity if situations go otherwise.
Wait till you have a definitive outcome otherwise, show a proof of your assertion.
Wahala no good o.

We do have a definite outcome bro.

Be like her and wear Nigeria proudly.
Change is at our doorstep, open the door and celebrate life!

Vote APC!

APC is positioned to change the regime of President Goodluck Jonathan. This will be done democratically and network chatter from certain quarters indicate strongly that foreign diplomatic officers stationed in Nigeria have received briefings from their home governments to begin building a transition relationship with the incoming President, Muhammadu Buhari.

Council on Foreign Relations met with other American think-tanks in a strategy meeting attended on invitation by six European States and deliberated for five hours on Nigeria.

We will start to see media messages from prominent world leaders targeted at Nigeria and pointedly scripted to legitimize and justify a regime change.

"Clueless" in one of his clueless moments at Davos.

I think Ms Ezekwesili went overboard with her new found activism. Activists are supposed to use conflict resolution to bring about effective result in whatever message they are pushing or the cause they advocate.

Reading that exchnge, Oby was confrontational and not good,

arewafederation:
Can that friend of yours tell us the part of the north that dont accept the currency? Enough of these lies against the north..

This is how Ibo raises itself to relevance....through self promotion, and they do so by denigrating others.

It's why no one have love for Ibo, not in Nigeria, not in West Africa, not in East Africa or South Africa.

A full scale war is brewing between the people of Adadama Community in Abi Local government area of Cross River State and Ndiagu Amagu Community in Ikwo Local Government Area of Ebonyi State over land disputes. Before now, about 35 people have been killed, including a Ph.D student and a Youth Corps member beheaded recently by militants who invaded the community.

Competencies is what should count, not certificate and not experience.

Ive been wondering...
Now i see the what layeth beneath the decamp.

Ffk na ashewo!

He love Ibo poucey
