Wish I could say you are my favourite cyber bro, but I can't since you are still owing me a bottle of red. Merry Xmas, onigbese

Unfortunately, the last time you were in town you came to lay your late mum to rest. That was not a time for a bottle of red. Unless you don come into town other times without telling me.
You can even make it two bottles if you so wish and if oga go green you drink that much.

The 5 months unpaid claim is a lie. If you have your evidence please provide it with your outrageous claims. And then await a rebuttal from me.

Some people lie without even researching their lies properly.
Same Amaechi that has paid November salary?

Amaechi is a clown But not only is Wike a bigger clown But he is also a thug to boot.
Is it not about time he starts telling rivers people What his economic blueprint is? How he wants to tackle the growing drug addiction menace in Rivers state among young adults?
Is abusing Amaechi the only electoral plan up his sleeves?
Rivers people are about to enter one big one chance!
The worst thing Amaechi did to rivers people was not manage this menace called Wike while it was still sprouting. Now it is fully grown,rivers people will reap the whirlwind (I seriously doubt Peterside's chances).

Amaechi is a clown But wike is a bigger clown and a thug to boot.
He should tell rivers people What his plans are. Abusing Amaechi is not an economic blueprint.
Rivers people are about to enter one of the biggest one chance known in modern times. They might be envying ekiti folks soon.
This is like oyo state voting for Adedibu as governor say twenty years ago.

By Davidson Iriekpen

Nobel laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka, on Wednesday gave former President Olusegun Obasanjo an unforgettable Christmas present by issuing a scathing response to his autobiography, “My Watch”, describing it as the narrative of a career liar perennially determined to crookedly project himself above his true standing among men.

Soyinka said the Obasanjo brand was compounded by the inclination of even foisting the lies on members of the younger generation.

Obasanjo had in his book dismissed Soyinka as a self-serving critic, who always seeks to shine out among men, describing the Nobel laureate as a “misfit as a political analyst, commentator or critic”, adding that he likes to take the lead on all matters.

Soyinka, in his characteristically long treatise titled, “Watch and Pray, Watch and Prey”, said: "I had fully attuned myself to the fact that our Owu retiree soldier and prolific author is an infliction that those of us who share the same era and nation space must learn to endure.

“However, it does appear that there is no end to this individual’s capacity for infantile mischief, and for needless, mind-boggling provocations, such as his recent ‘literary’ intrusion on my peace.”

Making references to efforts by mutual acquaintances to reconcile them, Soyinka said: “Perhaps I ought to interrupt myself here with an apology to some mutual acquaintances – ‘blessed peacemakers’ and all – especially in this season of ‘peace and goodwill to all men’.

“Please know that your efforts have not been entirely in vain. I had a cordial exchange with Obasanjo over the phone recently – engineered by himself, his ground staff and/or a chance visitor – when I had cause to visit his Presidential Laundromat (Obasanjo’s Presidential Library) for the first time ever.

“During that exchange, I complemented him on making some quite positive use of landed property that was acquired under morally dubious circumstances, and blatantly developed through a process that I denounced as ‘executive extortionism’.

“That obscene proceeding has certainly set a competitive precedent for impunity in President Jonathan’s recent fund-raising shindig… So much for the latest from that direction – we mustn’t allow handing-over notes between presidents to distract us for too long.

“To return to our main man, and friendly interventionists, you may like to note that I went so far as to engage him in light banter, stating that some of his lesser sins would be forgiven him for that creative conversion of the landscape – a conversation that he shortly afterwards delightedly shared with at least three mutual acquaintances.

“I promised a follow-up visit to view some mysterious rock script whose existence, he informed me, was uncovered by workers during ground clearing.

“The exchange was, in short, as good as ‘malice towards none’ that any polemicist could hope to contribute to the ongoing season of peace and goodwill.

“Obviously that visit will not now take place any more than the pursuit of vague notions of some creative collaboration with his centre that began to play around my mind.

“That much I do owe you from my report card. Perhaps you will now accept that there are individuals who are born incorrigible but, more importantly, that some issues transcend one’s personal preferences for harmonious human relationships even in a season of traditional good will.

“The change in weather conditions sits quite well with me however, since we are both acquainted with the Yoruba proverb that goes: the child that swears his mother will not sleep must also prepare for a prolonged, sleepless infancy. So let it be with Okikiola (Obasanjo’s middle name), the overgrown child of circumstance.”

Soyinka added that one of the ironies that leapt up at him as he read what he termed “Obasanjo’s magnum opus” was that both of them are victims of a number of distasteful impositions – such as being compelled again and again to seek justice against libel in the law courts.

“I felt genuine empathy to read that he still has a pending thirty-year case instituted by him against his alleged libelers! Judgment was delivered in my favour regarding one of the most nauseating only this year, after surviving technical and other procrastinations, defendant evasions and other legalistic impediments for nearly as long as his.

“That leaves only a veritable Methuselah on the court list still awaiting re-listing under the resurrection ritual language known as de novo.

“Unfortunately, not all acts of defamation or willful misrepresentation are actionable, otherwise, my personal list against this newly revealed fellow-sufferer would have counted for an independent volume of the Nigerian Law Report since our paths first crossed during the civil war.

“My commitment to the belief in the fundamental right of all human beings not to be lied against remains a life obsession, and thus demands, at the very least, an obligation of non-commission among fellow victims.

“I must therefore reserve a full, frontal dissection of Obasanjo’s My Watch for later, most especially since the work itself is currently under legal restraint and is not readily accessible to a general readership.

“So, for now, let me single out just one of the most glaring instances of this man’s compulsive career of lying, one sample that the media can readily check upon and use as a touchstone – if they do need one – in assessing our author’s multifaceted claims and commentaries on people and events.

“I refer here to the grotesque and personally insulting statement that he has attributed to me for some inscrutable but obviously diversionary reasons.

“In the process, this past Master of Mendacity brazenly implicates an innocent young man, Akin Osuntokun, who once served him as a Special Adviser. Instead of conferring dignity on a direct rebuttal of an ignoble fabrication, I shall simply make a personal, all-embracing attestation:

“I despise that species of humanity whose stock-in-trade is to concoct lies simply to score a point, win an argument, puff up his or her own ego, denigrate or attempt to destroy a fellow being.

“However, even within such deplorable species, a special pit of universal opprobrium is surely reserved for those who even lack the courage of their own lies, but must foist them on others.

“When an old man stuffs a lie into the throat of an age-mate of his own children – omo inu e! - we can only pity an irredeemable egomaniac whose dotage is headed for twilight disgrace,” he said.

He signed off his response to Obasanjo’s assessment of him with the words “Chei! There is Death o!”.

deletrue:
Well, I am not a today boy. When Buhari call for the Islamisation of the country when he was in military. I read it my self in the New Nigerian and Concord News papers. The remarks of baboon and monkeys as well as those concerning making this country ungovernable were made by him and Atuki on channel tv live many times. I am telling you the Godly truth.

That truth is ungodly. Please provide proof.
On the issue of making the country ungovernable, that is very simple. If you disenfranchise the people by rigging over and over again, you make the state almost ungovernable. You do not need an Atiku or a Buhari to tell you that.

Bawss1:
What the heck are you talking about? Australia is a secular country. The PM of Australia never made such a comment, I dare you to provide evidence of your claim.

How can Buhari singularly turn Nigeria into an Islamic state, will the senate cease to exist if he wins the presidential elections?

Stop this FUD mongering, let everyone approach this elections with a balanced outlook, not fears and untruths.

How can they ignore their great tools of fear and untruths when manipulation and deception are their biggest tools of recruitment and subjection.

deletrue:
That is the greatest fear. This man is a core Islam member. If he is just a service member, one will say, after all he a mere member. But Buhari is an extremist. A man who can instantly shot at christian at will. Just examine his past remarks during his military days through to today. Blood will flow like those of Baboon and monkeys. What about the one of yesterday when he publicly told Nigerians that the military has the right to protest and in fact openly supported and argued the soldiers to organise MUTINY against this GEJ goveenment.
If you are Nigerian and still like to live as one, please do not vote this blood tasty Buhari. He is an international Islamist. I was told that up till today, his quarterly contributions to the head quarter of Islam is still ongong. Do not vote for him. Be warned.

Your suspicions are based on beer parlour gifts. You do not expect intelligent people to take such aspersions serious, do you? Where's the headquarters of Islam that he pays his contribution to? So we have national Islamists and international ones? The fact that you expect people to believe such childish tales is most worrying.
The present failure we have use the break up of the country as an excuse to wanted be rewarded for failing. If the ineptitude of GEJ has not broken up the country, I doubt the tenure of Buhari will break it up.

Ayolaw2003:
I m amazed the way some youths reason... We cannot argue the fact that GEJ didnt achieve anything since he came to power for 6 years. Can anyone here point to anything as his achievement? GMB has ruled us before ..his profile on wikipedia has just been edited few minutes ago by anonymous. U go and check that. The previous one talked about dehumanization of civil servants even the detention of Fela Anikulapo.
Nigerians wake up....we dont need either GEJ &GMB. If truly we need a change...we need new hands! These people has ruled us before....we need a TOTAL CHANGE.

I agree with you but in view of the fact that these two are the only options at hand, all I ask is that we do not reward the present failure. Else the after effects will be mind bugging.

matrixme:
Every rational Nigerian is supposed to back this pastor and bask in the truth of what he said, rather than castigate him. I personally beleive that Buhari will be humiliated again come 2015. Something about his intentions just doesn't feel right. Not all (retired Military General) that glitters is gold!

As much as I want Buhari to declare his stand as it concerns islamization, I think men like Isong are hypocritical in their thoughts and speech. A secular state that sponsors charlatans to Israel and Mecca yearly is nothing secular. Secondly,the fact that you bear an English or christian name does not make you a christian. Afterall, what is the proof that Jonathan is a Christian? I do not see such in his conduct, actions or speech. As much as Islamic insurgency is a critical issue that needs to be addressed and Buhari needs to make his stand clear, it does not make him any worse than GEJ. We all know that PFN is a political pressure group and speaks for its political masters. Pretending that they speak for the God of the bible is deceptive and manipulative.

Merry Christmas to my favourite cyber sista!!

He maybe a semi- illiterate but at least he did not marry a crude full blown illiterate like Patience Jonathan.

LASG has to get serious about the regulation of these Indian doctors in Nigeria.
I have been hearing tales about how the deathcrate of patients who come in for kidney transplant is rising at St. Nicholas since they got foreign (Indian) experts to ramp up the number of Ops. Even the post op care has dwindles in quality.
fashola and Idris, pls do the needful.

Amaechi and his foot and mouth disease.
When did Wike become a construction contractor? No wonder ph is filled with sub standard constructions all over the place.

PerfumeRepublik:
its unfortunate we don't teach history in our schools, we would have developed a culture of remembering the past.
I still remember how Thugs that had his blessings kidnapped a sitting Gov in Anambra state..
And burnt down a couple state infrastructure..
Comparing Jona and Obj is like comparing Sleep to death.
Its unfortunate Trolls on Nairaland be twisting the truth and events, and spewing propaganda just to futher the selfish cause of their principals .
#OneManOneVote !

I guess you have forgotten how 16 is greater than 19?
You have also forgotten how the ekiti PDP house members just woke up one morning and sacked their leadership irrespective of a lack of quorum?
If we must teach history it must not be the jaundiced one you are advocating.

okay continue to meet.

Lagos is sliding off your master's pocket![/b]

Comments like this make me shakes my head...........

Simple political aritheimetic you can't sole

Tinubu wanted Osinbajo in, but he knew Oshomole and particularly Amechi will fight against that so what did he do' the crooked fox also came out to say he is interested.........is that not super strange as it is ahainst the. Fundamental winning political configuration Christian-Christian or Muslim-muslim remains a No-no.......

He only claimed intest in the VP so that he could nuetralise Amechi and the consusus will be that let him Tinubu and anechi back out for a nuetral person, that was how the Frof, tinubu's initial man came back


And you are here praising the king Looter of lagos to the skies

l

You are not correct.
He genuinely wanted the post and I for one would not have minded his religion as corruption and ineptitude is not the preserve of any faith.
Osinbajo is a very good choice and a man of genuine intellect and proven administrative skills,however I am not sure of his electoral value. I actually more Nigerians will vote for Buhari if he was paired with Fashola than his pairing with Osibanjo. I feel the Muslim/Muslim ticket fear was exaggerated by PDP as a way of ruling out heavyweights like fashola and Tinubu.

stal:
I have a very good respect for tinubu. This writeup is a masterpiece. My only reservation for him is his religious insensitivity in allowing Muslims taking major position in his party while marginalising other religions. This move alone make apc appear as people tag it. Imagine majority of top shot in Lagos state civil service are moslems. Why are the other religion marginalized. Anyway I wish him well in his next endeavor

If you consider his piece a masterpiece you will not make the comment you made thereafter. There will always be accusations against the man and indeed some of them might be true. However, their is no denying that the man has a mind and intellect that will bless any nation. Not the kind of dullards we see in the corridor of power at present.

Equado:
that's because you're a baby spiritually...if not you'll understand the secrets of praying in special mountains

Since you are an adult Christian when is NL sponsoring you to go and pray at a mountain?
People like you crucify Christ afresh.

“So, it is a self-sponsored programme. The government has no kobo in it. Captains of industry sponsored it and they are here with their products to support us. They sponsored the ministers of the gospel to go and cry for mercy for Nigeria,” Epunam said.

Epunam said the project is borne out of his passion for Nigeria. “I have been a member of the National Prayer Networkin the Villa Chapel right from the Obasanjo’s government. So, I have passion for Nigeria. I have had experiences, knowing that the foundation of Nigeria is faulty, that we have to pray to put it in the right direction and at the same time, to help men and women of God know where Jesus preached the gospel: the landmarks and where he was ascendedso that the righteous will take over the earth,” Epunam stated.

In his remarks, Opara said the sponsors of the programme were exemplary people, and urged well-meaning Nigerians to emulate their gesture.

Fraudsters and charlatans.
I wish God could suspend his mercy for a moment and deal with these sort of charlatans with justice. Unfortunately, God is full of mercy so we will keep seeing such eyesore and hearing such rubbish.

A vote for Agbaje is a vote for Bode George.
Why leave one baba sope to another who is even an ex-convict to boot?

Seems d OP didn't read d msg well

He probably expected MTN to read it for him.

jmoore:
I dialed *556# to check my balance and I saw an additional message, "Text Yes to 1010! It's FREE! Your number is among the ones that could win for free 1 Generator from MTN ".

I read the message again to be sure I won't be charged for it. I decided to send sms as they stated. I wasn't charged after I sent the first sms.

I received another sms, it was a question. It was free to reply, so I sent in the answer and checked my balance and my money was not deducted.

Minutes later, I received another sms "Confirmed! Your name features in the draw for N10,000,000 from MTN...." I checked my balance and it was obvious, they have stolen my 100 Naira.

What exactly did this second SMS say? What was the question and what were the options?

Raikishi:
Its not about captured towns but security of lives, I just finished complaining on another thread about the celebrating mediocrity.

Can anybody on this forum tell me one thing in Nigeria that works?


We must change this government, kick out a system that does not work! Let's try something new at least and see. Haba!!! E never tire una?

I tire with you my brother.
Anything else must be better than this fresh air.

HugeMac:
BUHARI REPRESENTS A CHANGE FOR THE WORSE ! A CHANGE TO OLD ARCHAIC WAYS , BUHARI EMERGENCE AS A PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE IS AN INSULT TO THIS GENERATION

We can not reward failure. Let us vote GEJ out as a proof that we do not accept failure. If Buhari does same, we vote him out too.
If you fail a course in school, you do not get promoted as a reward. Abusing Buhari does not negate the fact that GEJ has been an abysmal and colossal failure. The man's ineptitude is mind boggling. Any option is better than the status quo.
