Something tells me the OP is the "controversial" Elizabeth.. little wonder all her threads are about the local girl

It is not...but sometimes, there is little or nothing we can do to avoid this

If tradermoni is vote buying, then Npower is also vote buying..

Influential where? His family as the head, In the Israeli parliament or in Israel?

Beremx:
Technical knock out!!

Buhari should bow his head in shame

Beremx, who did this to you?

May you not wail this year away as you did last year. Happy new year

Even though he talks like he is drunk sometimes, Father Mbaka remains the only man of God who understands Nigerian politics

Happy New year to both friends and enemies of Nigeria. To friends, May your year be smooth as Buhari's victory..
To Enemies of the country, May you not wail the year away

quickberry:
Busted and casted

Thank you for not making me miss this

Elections were massively rigged to favour PDP in 2011..

In 2015, the possibility of a repeat was reduced owing to the advent of card reader and all..

Kyase:
i can hear e voices kids and an adult videoing..... And i fit swear say na pdp agent
Bama Yi means we no dey do..... That's for the op

No mind the desperate PDP agents

Bama yi means never again?

Na wa o!

It's not easy to be a celebrity o!

Someone just claimed she was robbed at the concert without something to back her claim...And just because her claim made headlines and Davido needs to protect his exaggerated status/image, he had to give her 200k... probably out of the proceeds the poor boy got from the concert

To me, what the girl did was blackmail..

Do not forget this is my opinion. Celebrity asslickers should take note

This lizard again....

Of what use will their arrest be to 4+4?

The prisons don't need them yet, till probably after Elections

clemzo101:
He will surely loose come 2019.

Yes Buhari will surely 'loose' while Atiku will lose...

amaniro:
Happy new year in Addy.

I wish you the same

amaniro:
And if Buhari wins 2019,We will be worst than Afghanistan.

If that will make your likes leave this country for good..

It's LL be fine

If Jonathan had won 2015 elections, Nigeria by now will be so bad that Sudan will be giving us financial aid

The running mate to the All Progressives Congress, APC, governorship candidate in Lagos State, Obafemi Hamzat, has alleged that he rejected a $5million bribe from former President Goodluck Jonathan during the 2015 elections.

He explained that he refused the money because he was thinking about the future and never wanted to tarnish his image.

Hamzat spoke at the launch of Sanwo-Olu and Hamzat Advocates at Fidimaye Hall, Oko-Oba, Abule-Egba, Lagos, over the weekend.

According to the former Commissioner for Works in the state, in 2014, “I contested with the current Governor, Akinwumi Ambode for the Governorship ticket of the party and as we all know how it went, the then President Goodluck Jonathan offered me bribe of $5miillion and I refused it.

“Some of you here are my witness, I mean some of you that were sent, are here to testify. I refused because I was thinking about the future and I don’t want to spoil my name. Let us remain calm, our turn will come.

“Our work as Nigerians is simple and our campaign will be very easy because PDP destroyed this country for 16 years. They spent N1.7trillion on power for 16 years and they were unable to give the country just 2,950 megawatts.

“In the last three years, I worked as a Special Adviser Technical to the Minister for Works, Power and Housing, Babatunde Fashola, we travelled round the 36 states by road, the opposition party has spoiled this country because since 1999 to 2015, federal government did not finish any road project except the Lagos- Abeokuta road.”

The difference between Fayose and Osibanjo here is that Fayose did so many things consistently (like cutting Kpomo, rolling tyre etc) with the people of the grassroots without doing anything to make their lives better.....and all that he did, he actually did for the cameras

while

Osinbajo patronised a local barbing Salon probably because he had no choice..but the fact remains that whether or not he patronises them, his Government has done a lot to make their lives better.....what he did, he didn't do for the cameras


Argue with your pillow

Blatherskite!
Balderdash!!
Absolute Bunkum!!!


Atiku will be defeated fairly, easily, roundly, squarely and comprehensively

CilicMarin:
At this point, with this kind of unequaled crowd that came to welcome the President, INEC should just declare Buhari the Winner, instead of wasting Money, conducting Elections next year..

Honestly!

amaechi1:
I am speechless. What caught my attention is was that they will eat Atiku's money and abandon him on the day of election.

What do you expect bro? He stole the money from the masses

basilo101:
I didn't read the trash.

Cos you are intellectually lazy and you don't trust yourself to understand the wonderful piece. I have put in bold the most interesting parts to make you know how long your wailing journey will be

I can assure you that the candidate of the misguided ones will be beaten roundly and comprehensively

If there are words to describe the recently held Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) North-East Zonal rally, led by the Chairman of Atiku/Obi Campaign Organization in the zone, Gov. Ibrahim Hassan Dankwambo, they will certainly not be those of success. Signs are very important in anything we venture into in life and one must not pretend about issues when they are not right. Making people believe what is not may have dire consequence when reality comes calling. As the 2019 general elections approach and politicians are becoming tourists with such political athletics and uncontrollable desperation that can only be defined in right perspectives using the PDP as a context.

As it often said, horses can be taken to the river but the task of drinking water is an exclusive reserve of those horses. There were allegations that the PDP paid some youths in Gombe the sum of N1, 000 to attend the North-East Zonal rally just to give the impression that they still own the state as such have the audacity to say they have intimidated other parties especially the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state. During the rally, an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), commonly known as a drone, was used to beam the activities live on some media outfits and many of the PDP stalwart went on air to say they have the crowd to win 2019 and unseat President Muhammadu Buhari and defeat Alhaji Inuwa Yahaya in Gombe. One of such persons is Gov. Ibrahim Hassan Dankwambo whose aide, Junaidu Usman Abubakar went online to describe the rally as a huge success, noting that it was an ‘unprecedented crowd’ that was recorded when Atiku came to Gombe. He emphasized that the PDP in Gombe wasn’t joking. But with the rented PDP crowd who have the heart of APC, can we really say the PDP is serious? I am not trying to be satirical but I think the aide to the governor needs aid to know the reality of events as it is now being played out. I refuse to share in that optimism not because I am a member of the APC but for two reasons that signal the fact that APC has become a political religion whose supporters can’t be brainwashed or cajoled into going against their wish.

This article is so entitled because it proves that assertion that horses can be taken to the river but they can’t be forced to drink the PDP water in Nigeria and Gombe State. We were made to believe that the Gombe stadium was filled up as the photos rightly portrayed on the pages of newspapers and other PDP-owned media. But the first thing that the PDP ignored was ‘The other side of the stadium that was empty’ I think Nigerians would have loved to see the full stadium from all sides. In a zone, where PDP claim to be strong in Northern Nigeria: Gombe, Taraba, Adamawa, Bauchi, Yobe and Borno States, they could not garner supporters to fill up a 12, 000 capacity Pantami stadium in Gombe. I am not saying this because I have political honey in my mouth, but I know that an ordinary counsellorship rally by the APC in Gombe State can create enough challenge in terms of crowd control using the same venue. For those PDP members who really needed to reflect, they should ask themselves what happened to the other side of the stadium. The simple answer lies in what everybody in Gombe knows as captured by one of the falls out article of the PDP rally: ‘Buhari’s spirit, Atiku’s image in Gombe’. This shows that the PDP has simply become very unpopular courtesy of the APC tornado style of leadership that sees social investment programme and other people-oriented programmes as sacrosanct part of President Buhari’s administration. The unpopularity of the PDP is not unconnected to the paucity of ideas and freedom to massive looting as it is being craftily engineered by the government of the day. Series of articles have been written on the debt-driven style of leadership in a state where the government nags the media that their Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) has increased in billions of naira, yet they turn around to say there is not enough money for development.

[b]The second point that should be a cause of worry for the PDP in Nigeria and Gombe is the fact that the crowd inside the stadium kept echoing the name of President Muhammadu Buhari, whenever the MC shouts 2019! When the PDP national chairman, Prince Uche Secondus and other stalwarts of the party were shouting 2019! ‘Sai Baba’ was heard as response alongside Atiku. For the doubting Thomas, kindly get a clip of the video and listen to the sound track properly. The conflict in response evidently shows that you can force a horse to the river you cannot force it to drink. It is true that the strength of supporters determines the weight that any political party can pull to win election but in Gombe today, it is better to always run a heart check of those you claim to be your supporters. From the look of things, the PDP in Nigeria and Gombe has supporters whose hearts are APC. The PDP has failed to read the writing in Gombe and I know they will pay dearly for such as far as the colour of the contemporary politics in Gombe is concerned.[/b]

To shock those in the PDP as well as justify the advice that the PDP should do a heart check of members, a stalwart of the PDP who was eavesdropped on, was caught to have said that some of the people in the PDP especially in Gombe State would do to Atiku what some of the members did to Ex- President Goodluck Jonathan in the 2015 elections. According to him, they will ‘eat’ Atiku’s money and leave him stranded on Election Day in Gombe State. The PDP should face the moment of truth; Gombe is already a lost ground.



If the crowd that trouped out to grace the occasion of the APC campaign launch is anything to go by, then the PDP is in trouble. Those that questioned Dr Jamilu Isyaku Gwamna’s exit from the PDP should now understand better that Gwamna doesn’t belong to the loosing team and his decision to dump the PDP has been justified. Everyone in Gombe State needs change and not to stick with the same failed system with a different personality. If a senator whose senatorial district has been confirmed even by its indigenes to be the poorest zone in the state has done nothing to wield his federal might to galvanize the industrialization of his zone with all the comparative advantages in terms of minerals and arable farmlands, what then is the guarantee that he will offer the state good governance or does the hope lie in the deputy who couldn’t secure the PDP senatorial candidate seat for himself?

For those of them in the PDP that still think that the dollars that rained in Port Harcourt will do the magic in Gombe are to be pitied of all politicians because the Gombe of today have developed a thick skin against vote-buying and money politics.

Just because I like your post doesn't mean I like you in real life. At times I just want to listen to that FB like sound 'Tukur'

And you get to hear the sound on nairaland too?

nifemi25:
That epic response too loud...

My friend, this response is not epic. Looks more like frustration of an artist with a disappointing year.
