Car Talk / Re: What Happens If You Put The Wrong Fuel In Your Car? by MidaxPhoenix(m): 8:09am On May 26, 2017 |
Horrible experience I must say!! During my university days, on a trip from Ghana, really exhausted, we drove into a filling station in Cotonou. I said full tank for the 3 coasters and the security hilux while we ran into the mall for booze. Came back and paid, after moving less than 200m, smoke from the exhaust filled everywhere.. The drivers shouted ' e be like say na diesel dem sell oo!! Federal government properties.. Haaaa!!! Last semester in school, my village people don get me... We started causing trouble, we dey shout greatest gbagba, gbogbo!! Locked the attendants in the hilux. The owner of the station later called mechanics that drained and flushed the diesel out.. and replaced with petrol. I had to bribe each driver with a bag of rice to avoid booking the incident in their log book.. 5 Likes |

Politics / Re: APC Youths Query Ojudu, Omirin Over Fayose’s Impeachment, Election Funds by MidaxPhoenix(m): 6:59pm On Apr 22, 2015 |
an old post to buttress the claims. ( try read if politics interests you) Ekiti was just bad market for the party.. let Fayose be!! Errors of opinion can be tolerated where reason are left to combat it.. As Ekiti indigenes seek succour in Fayose and repelled JKF, the APC and the progressives at large, i will opine that the real winners in this elections are Adamu muazu, Bode George, Buruji be.kashamu and the PDP inner caucus and cimulatively President GEJ. The collective decision to vote Fayose is a pure political move rather than developmental, that yorubas are vindictive, attention seeking and unforgiven cannot be over emphasised. The so-call political sophistication is borne out of the individualistic tendency in decision making. The yorubas pride itself in its ability to repel oppression and make individual decision and that it took PDP so long to realise this is really gawking. History has shown this over time, Awolowo was well loved but lost election serially, Abiola was voted en masse during election but was sent to the guillotine by the silence of some citing that shouted that he betrayed awolowo s reasons. APC---- the long road to penury in south west 1) The “Man of the year” Bola tinubu announced in lagos after 2011 election that ACN will be joining mainstream politics as a national opposition party, well nothing bad in that except that our local hero now want to go national. 2) He reiterated this by asking Ganiyu solomon to step down for George akume as minority leader and rallied for a standing committee chairman for solomon after vests showing PDP umbrellas hovering above Solomon sufficed in lagos. 3) As election results streamed in, APC jubilates as babafemi ojudu was elected senators, a friend in The news, pm news would not allow me rest, chairman has won he kept shouting. The political gurus in APC opined otherwise, scolded against the choice of ojudu but the man of the year remained adamant, he has to pay him back for his support against fawehinmi. The losers in that election were Fayose and opeyemi bamidele ( he was left in the cold), kayode alufa merely represented PDP. That was the genesis, they were short changed, Fayose shouted to the heavens that ACN promised not to field a candidate against him while opeyemi was perplexed, her served The man and worked assidouly to make fayemi emerge, even stepped down in primary. 4) The local government elections across the states was characterised by anointing of candidates by croonies of the man, political appointment was based on lineage, how connected you are to the man around the man. His attention was in abuja, he left his house to his men and frolick with baba akande around the north. 5) The principle of internal democracy is a taboo in ACN, to qualify as the man;s choice, you just need to have a sterling CV, speak good grammar and plegdge loyalty to the lion of boudillon., which was good initially but a the party becomes bigger, it became the bane of implosion. The choice of aketi in ondo was a political suicide, the think-thank warned but the man stuck to his gun... the fashola experiment worked he kept saying and akeredolu has paid his dues. He kept recruiting technocrats as flag bearers believing that his popularity is enough to win votes..... the grandeur of invisibility. 6) The grand master of political gimmick in south west, Lord mimiko had called the bluff of ACN sequel to his election by telling the man that they were squared. The man helped him with salami know-how to get rid of Agagu and he in turn provided the fund and logistics to prosecute court cases in oyo and ekiti. Hence he detest Aregbe and sees him as a beneficiary of his political strategy.... and when his friends deserted him to APC, he turned to his friend, FAYOSE and anyanwu for support from abuja, the foolhardy decision to field aketi paid mimiko and the rest is history. But nevertheless another politician felt short changed and oppressed. 7) Across the niger, a man of the people, Chris ngige lost an election due to his affiliation to the man”s party, the personality of the man was the bullet point of the manifesto as i refuse to believe that igbos will not vote for any party except PDP , yes they will, afterall they voted orji kalu party and apga but the character and antecedent of the man remains a clog in the wheel. Now that the party is national and our hero has gained national prominence, the man even went to united state as a democrat smiling like an agbero, seats were won without casting a ballots, governors defected, some even turned to drivers (our brother that stays in the port), others self appointed publicity secretaries (bros Nyako) etc. Yes, the man is now a national name. 9) As elections are staggered in southwest, he suddenly remember that the party has election in two states. The think- tank had relocated to abuja, the normal one year preparatory excercise was done in five months. His return from abuja met a divided party, osoba was fighting amosun, Epes already have a governorship candidate that wiil not step down and the lagos and ikoyi country club boys have annointed one of their own, not negotiable afterall we have done his wish so far, they muttered, badagry is seething and lagos mainland guys have started getting ideas . Ajumobi was fighting poverty, nurtw dissident memebers and akala in oyo, and accord, LP party kept gaining grounds... they now have a slang “no more baba sope” it means no more, the father said” a slogan agianst imposition. 10) The man kept calming party loyalists, the magic wand is still intact. As ekiti approaches, opeyemi voiced his dissenting opinion and was sent packing. A former comissioner under the man, a grass root politician, he left and mimiko provided the platform to contest, not win. The PDP was still shopping for a candidate, the election looks secured for APC and the man kept opening his stained teeth. 11) The recent bashing of PDP home and away jolted the party back in shape, we don't need to win election muazu reminds them, we just need to gain the majority back. And that means apc must not win, support the third party and present a lackey on PDP platform. And it worked like magic, Ondo and anambra was wrestled from APC. 12) But the Ekiti case presented a different formation, the third party is not strong enough and the candidate is a former APC memeber, hence the PDP needs a strong candidate. A man that can mobilise the people, someone that felt short changed and one name kept appearing ..FAYOSE. 13) Muazu gave the go-ahead, George provided logistics, buruji channelled the funds and the magic rice and the national office have to pull the federal might. Polls have shown that fayose will win fayemi in a free and fair election, therefore no rigging. I have always opined that APGA/LP - RIG APC --- RIGGER PDP --- RIGGEST 14) Infact PDP is the largest party in Africa with the most effective rigging mechanism in the world'' but on this occasion, it has no reason to rig, they have presented the better candidate. 15) They don't mobilise voters, they mobilise election officials and the police. 16) APC has the monopoly of intellectual thugs, the newspapers and social network. 17) AN AGRREGATION OF THE OPPRESSED IS AN HEADACHE TO THE OPPRESSOR The man turned to the last resort, lets buy the votes. A PDP styled modus operandi shows frustration from APC but the PDP have bought the votes before election, they paid with well packaged rice. Feedbacks were bad but the man kept pulling strings, called his new national buddies to come help him fight in his backyard, an admission of failure. He tried the last roll of the dice in ibadan on Friday at arisekola burial but it was too late and too little and THE MAN FAILED AGAIN.. 18) This has shown that we need to build party structure around ideology and principles, though we cannot shy away from the servitude of the main core of any party and the tendency to exert influence in the running of events, the voice of the members should not be drowned by the alpha presence of a leader. 19) The people of ekiti respects fayemi but loved fayose. Fayemi represents the elites, well bred gentleman, hence was disconnected from the people. His agenda was elitist to the common man, he doesnt ride bike, talk loudly and campaign in markets, the teachers were intimidated by his CV, his cronies made life unbearable for the common man, not nelecting the lagos factor. Hence the majority settled for the man of the people, FAYOSE, his sins were forgiven. 20) Politics is not a fair game and morals have no place. 21) Congrats to FAYOSE, BURUJI, south west PDP and president Jonathan , you guys outdone the APC. 22)the hasty congratulations and concession of defeat by the APC is a good thing for democracy and a ploy to save face towards Osun, hence the visit to oyinlola on Sunday. The Man has gotten the message and responded accordingly... he has to keep his party intact to have a influence in national politics...even if it means dining with arch enemies like oyinlola to send warnings to omisore.. a show of political capabilities.. The man is likely to go back to his default setting, match PDP thug for thug, bribe for bribe, equal number of inec officials and rice for rice....as he battles the Awo effect... Awo effect... a phenomenon in Nigerian politics where a man is well loved as a local or regional. Hero, respected for his political sagacity but cannot win a national election. To the yorubas, “demo mo wa, bi o ri owo mi, o ri inu mi” 12 Likes 2 Shares |

Instead of hobnobbing with the high and mighty, he has cast his lot with the ordinary man most of who follow him out of hope and belief in his values. People who know him have said of him... "All I need from Buhari is his word, I can take it to the bank". He is the only politician in the Country today who fills rallies without renting a crowd. The Kaduna rally of 2nd March is eloquent proof! He refused to collect an allowance while serving as Chairman of the PTF because he said since he was already drawing a pension from government, his conscience would not allow him to draw another salary from the purse of the same government. He is the only former head of state that does not own property or land in Abuja . Every attempt to rubbish him through probes in time past eneded up vindicating him! The man who was asked by OBJ to take over the running of PTF before it was scrapped with the aim of probing and indicting Buhari, was the one who ended up being prosecuted for misappropriating $100m of PTF funds! Buhari again, was vindicated He has OPENLY challenged those who accuse him of religious fundamentalism to come out and show proof. No one has till today, taken up the challenge. His personal driver of many years is a Christian from Plateau State! His government initiated the War Against Indiscipline that has made environmental cleanliness, queuing up, not urinating by the roadside etc features of our national life even till today. Does it then surprise you why corrupt people would be spreading such heinous rumours about Buhari? He is a threat to them and they know what he is capable of doing to corruption and corrupt people when he comes into office! So shine your eyes and make the right decision. If honesty and probity are the things you want for Nigeria, now is the time to choose right. When you cast your vote for BUHARI, you would have cast one vote for an honest man. 36 Likes 1 Share |

Gone were the days that you get lectured on issues, rather we throw tantrums and jibes. If the leadership of PDP is not interested in discussing the issue,the power lies with the speaker to call for the only vote that can not be countered, a voice vote and results of a voice vote cannot be recalled or countered.

Culture / Re: The Tom And Jerry Relationship Between The Igbos And Yorubas. by MidaxPhoenix(m): 7:55am On Jul 14, 2014 |
The hidden truth is that the igbos felt betrayed by the yorubas, the igbos have always seen the yorubas as the brothers across the niger but the civil war changed the course of thinking. An average Igbo respects a yoruba for his intellectual prowess while the yorubas respect the igbos for entrepreneurial skills... a case of mutual respect and admiration and the igbos felt betrayed by the tribe they respect so much during the civil war.. The yorubas owe the Igbo an apology, and the igbos should learn to move on but our leaders profit from the discord, hence cannot facilitate a true reconciliation.. The two tribes complement each others, What the igbos lack, the yorubas have in abundance and vice versa so we find it easy to co-habit. We, yorubas are lazy, rely solely on intellectual skills as ingrained in our culture but the igbos believes in the sweat of hardwork.. The yorubas will say- I no fit do that work o! And the igbos will say - make we try am now. Yoruba schools to become bureaucrat but the igbos schools to become refined businessmen.. During my nysc in enugu, I was privilege to teach tutorials in advanced calculus, real and numerical analysis in ESUT and IMT, the shout of ''Chike obi'' and awolowo rents the air as I give them the short cuts to solving questions. Gba be theorem I call it... All I can do is feel good when we finish lectures and my students give me business cards and telling me to come to their shops in ogbeite.. And igbos marvel at the yorubas mathematical skills.... Enters a store, Nna nyem this, 120, that 235, those 340. Give him 1000 naira, Nna grabs calculator.. But the market woman in lagos selling wares, she will retort....305 ni change yin. The igbos don't have time to calculate money, they make it in abundance and leave the yorubas to calculate. The igbos control the economy, the yorubas regulate it.. Nigeria is truly blessed. 349 Likes 3 Shares |

Tinubu brought some security guys, foreign trained that became the security protocols for governors due to the partisan nature of the police and army. But Aregbe, sought local security guys, from his supporters in lagos, ISMUF, he imported some Eru iku from the island and on getting to Osun, those mad jihadist in iwo found a calling.

Large scale corruption cases etc Omi buruku as named by modakeke peeps can't even win in his neighbouring town, modakeke and ilesha are anti-ife. Ede is under peter power. The iwos,ikirun etc are too fanatic to vote a christian, oshogbo is confused between development and religious bigotry. Hence the traditional guys are campaigning badly for aregbe. The okuku/oshogbo factor is also against him, that side is under oyinlola stronghold and oyinlola is not a fan of omisore.... Even within ife, a lot of resentment, the makinde murder is still lingering. But the truth is that omisore I'd the only choice pdp has, to compete with Aregbe. He has the connection, the thugs and enough money to order bags of rice. The simple politics is just to shift his loyalty from obj, that rests on the Senate leaders, my president can't tell us he doesn't hold secretive meeting with the Senate chairman of appropriation. The PDP should plan ahead as oyo state is really up for grabs too. Apc governors are too stingy, no money in circulation, no contracts, they are signed in lagos, they pursued market women and build ultra Morden stores. This women. Can't afford them.

The losers in that election were Fayose and opeyemi bamidele ( he was left in the cold), kayode alufa merely represented PDP. That was the genesis, they were short changed, Fayose shouted to the heavens that ACN promised not to field a candidate against him while opeyemi was perplexed, her served The man and worked assidouly to make fayemi emerge, even stepped down in primary. 4) The local government elections across the states was characterised by anointing of candidates by croonies of the man, political appointment was based on lineage, how connected you are to the man around the man.

Hence he detest Aregbe and sees him as a beneficiary of his political strategy.... and when his friends deserted him to APC, he turned to his friend, FAYOSE and anyanwu for support from abuja, the foolhardy decision to field aketi paid mimiko and the rest is history. But nevertheless another politician felt short changed and oppressed. 7) Across the niger, a man of the people, Chris ngige lost an election due to his affiliation to the man”s party, the personality of the man was the bullet point of the manifesto as i refuse to believe that igbos will not vote for any party except PDP , yes they will, afterall they voted orji kalu party and apga but the character and antecedent of the man remains a clog in the wheel. Now that the party is national and our hero has gained national prominence, the man even went to united state as a democrat smiling like an agbero, seats were won without casting a ballots, governors defected, some even turned to drivers (our brother that stays in the port), others self appointed publicity secretaries (bros Nyako) etc. Yes, the man is now a national name. 9) As elections are staggered in southwest, he suddenly remember that the party has election in two states. The think-tank had relocated to abuja, the normal one year preparatory excercise was done in five months.

Politics / Re: Tinubu No Longer Relevant In South-west –agbaje. by MidaxPhoenix(m): 7:09am On Jul 05, 2014 |
Errors of opinion can be tolerated where reason are left to combat it.. As Ekiti indigenes seek succour in Fayose and repelled JKF, the APC and the progressives at large, i will opine that the real winners in this elections are Adamu muazu, Bode George, Buruji kashamu and the PDP inner caucus and cimulatively President GEJ. The collective decision to vote Fayose is a pure political move rather than developmental, that yorubas are vindictive, attention seeking and unforgiven cannot be over emphasised. The so-call political sophistication is borne out of the individualistic tendency in decision making. The yorubas pride itself in its ability to repel oppression and make individual decision and that it took PDP so long to realise this is really gawking. History has shown this over time, Awolowo was well loved but lost election serially, Abiola was voted en masse during election but was sent to the guillotine by the silence of some citing that shouted that he betrayed awolowo s reasons.

okupe just describe his Oga's style of governance.... Very succinct and straight on point. Government Is Reckless, Irresponsible, Lawless, And Lacks Fear Of God” – Presidency fixed Falana opined that the strike will be over in 48hours if GEJ desires it. the problem is not ASUU, but the incompetence of Mr President. when NLC was giving OBJ problem, he broke their rank with TUC. The president should sign the agreement, set up internal monitoring of university IGRs , scrutinization of foreign grants, set up a quality assurance unit in every university to monitor effectiveness and give the pro-chancellor more power to convene congregation as well as strip the minister of education the power to suspend VC and place it with the Pro-chancellor ( an appointee of the government). ASUU will have the contract and he will have the POWER to effect it as the lecturers will beg profusely.. sign the dammn contract and tighten the leash. they will beg to loosen it while you explain that you need time to honor the contract too. They will scurry about to inaugurate a committee to appease you as the president afterall ASUU is known to champion the contribution of 5million naira per university by the VCs to LOBBY the senate and house of rep to increase NUC and university fundings (okebukola era). That is what a president will do, at least what i would have done if i were the president. Haba, a president should be crafty,diplomatic and far-reaching. he must know how to 'scope'. its an essential ingredient of diplomacy. somtimes i wonder how he asked patience out sef...... 1 Like |

Most of these episodes play out in nigeria too, particularly during visa lottery stuff (To prove paternity). I have resolved and be it resolved to do paternity tests for my children immediately after birth. Without the knowledge of my wife though! Its not that I don't trust you dear, I just want to be sure the nurses or doc didn't swap the baby!! In the early 2000s ,Most of the first child in nigerian marriages are bastards abi na illegitimate child dem dey call a̶̲̥̅♏. How many union start with ''will you marry me'', most of them start with ''I'm pregnant and I can't abort it'' I have a friend that met with a lady 5 days to her wedding claiming they are doing send-forth!

Why did the G7 decamp and lamido didn't? A promise of immunity from EFCC for Npdp from OBJ and lamido still remain OBJ joker! At this junction J, moment M,Time T, instant I, point P, the only available option for GEJ is to .. A) Rally the remaining founding fathers of PDP, prostrate again for anenih, galadima, OBJ etc Let the senior men play the politics while he does the governance. B) appeal to the elites, the professionals( the APC have hijacked these guys) C) admits that his greatest support is the 22 million nigerians that voted for him (well if dem neva remain 5million) and he has failed the common man on the street. D) work assiduously towards some projects, sack the corrupt guys in his cabinet. E) play underground politics and not witch hunting of his perceived opponents. And den use his greatest weapon... Appeal to nigerians! F) and show some balls(if he has them), put some fear into your opponents via your countenance and disposition. Nigerians don't hate GEJ, they are just disappointed in him!! He failed them!! And he need to know that, and very fast too before they make up their mind, if they haven't ! And lastly Sack reno omokri and employ that sowore boy.
