I'm sleep typing oooo,

Aareonakakanfo:
You know in my early days here,I used to get really intimidated by long posts because I came from a forum where everyone kept it brief and precise.I used to find it very difficult to respond to long posts so I'd ignore them

But I later employed the tactic of picking the key points and addressing them

Awon ibeji ati mummy won nko?

Eku itoju omode..











@shymm3x & Ilekehd,

what does "coconuttish" mean beyond "blockheaded"?

Chinwendym:
Chizzy86 dont take all that scan date stuff serious biko! My last scan brought my due date back to November 1! na so I happy come announce am here wetin be today? 17th still no baby

Proudly teamnovember.

May the Lord grant all the remaining pushing mamas easy and supernatural delivery in Jesus name. Amen

Congrats mama, God bless the whole family....

IlekeHD:
Alliance? Stupid question, but would we really need South alliance to bring the power back to the South?

Oh yea, GEJ did have the SW/SE behind him huh.

Ileke, I wish we can stop dragging this back & forth, 2011, Turai had pissed off most southerners, the shoeless rhetoric was spellbinding & the "islamization" propaganda took it home for him...

It was tried in 2015 as well but people said Mba, fool me once, you can't fool me twice.


What do you think informed the choice of PYO? RCCG votes & nilling of the islamist toga.

My sis in law told me, PYO got APC her vote, said she wasn't planning to vote cos PMB is a muslim & hero is a major bleep up!!

IlekeHD:
Niger Delta didn't have the number.

My sis, there is no basis for comparison, hero had the shoeless sentiment & the whole PDP heavyweight working for him...

Forget an alliance between the SOUTH!! Pre 2015, it could have been a possibility, can't ever see it happen..

Nigeria needs to be unbundled cos the north sentiment is never going to fly...

IlekeHD:
I can't argue that TheVoice made a lot of sense, so did many others.

The past discussion has been an enlightenment period for me. Thanks shymmex for posing the question[s].

I can't adequately form an opinion about Tinubu, but like many politicians, he has never been a fan of mine. However, my favor or disfavor shouldn't cloud Tinubu's present weight in Nigerian politics. He has brought Yorubas [like Gbawe mention] to the forefront of Nigerian politics, be it a selfish interest or a political interest]. Now the real question is: Now that we're here, what are we going to do with this position?

I really think we should find a way to minimize the North's political weight and to bring the power back to the South [be it SE/SS/SW]. A region with no added value shouldn't have so much power.

Ileke, you forget politics is a game of Numbers, the north got us stymmied on that front...

& South has add 13& a half of 16yrs, If the country isn't breaking up & they should have it for now...

I support Regionalism, make each region bear hin own cross & anyone that chooses to cross hin boundary should be heavily TAXED

Osomalo:
Aunty, you are right.

Firefire hardly comment until Tinubu is being discussed. Fire, na wah for you.

Abi oooo, me yaff already narrowed down fire 's connect to either of Tewonde or Koro, cos those two are his mortal enemies...

I know it's a Lagos connect cos the bile is mostly for the lagosians, other yoruba states are just cherry on Top...










@IlekeHD.. I have queued behind TheVoice 's comment, no more no less....

Firefire:
Do you have the scientific instrument that is being used to measure peoples way irrespective of their location ?

Let me order for one.

OKODORO-ORO!

Fire, show me a post of yours here that doesn't have a Tinubu connection...?

There are times we kid around & throw bants here, I see you lurking without commenting, soon as it is Tinubu+SW govs staking time, you rush in with your fuel...

This thread can't be contentious everytime, but those are the only times you & your photgrapher bros pick to bless us with your "warped & highly subjective partisan" comments...

Minus Osomalo who supported Hero cos of his reason, anyone who supports Hero along party lines cannot stand in Judgement of Jagaban...

Firefire:
Mama Modath...

You never disappooint, yo always show up on cue.

I have told you & I'd never cease to tell you that your ways aren't pure.

I refuse to be an attache in your anti Tinubu rhetorics, we never see yyou contribute till Tinubu or the SW govs are being bashed..

yomalex:
Can you kindly open a thread on this? There is a lot of misinformation on this platform

I really wish I can but I have some commitments & I also don't want to be ITK or Notice me coupled with the fact that when people open threads, they have to baby it, lest the derailers turn it to a battle field..

Let me try & articulate my thoughts & see if her something .. Thx...

sonOfLucifer:
Keep us posted o.. your fans plenty pass many...

It's not really political but more on personal development & social consciousness/ awareness.. Will definitely do .. Thanks.

theV0ice:
@the bold, was that a tongue-in-cheek statement or you meant it?

1. Did you actually believe that Ribadu/Fola Adeola stood any chance in 2011?

2. I never heard of Opeyemi Bamidele till it was almost time for the election. Like I've said many times, I know very little about SW politics so if you insist all you wrote there is sanctioned by God, I can't dispute it even if I wish to

Talk about Wike, Amaechi, Princewill, Awuse, Odili etc in Rivers state, then I'll boast myself an authority.

I mean it, it was on point but you self depreciated it so had to appreciate it...

Me believe Ribadu would win ke, when I'm not indomie brain Okupe..

I've been supporting PMB since tipe tipe (my parent was narrating how he made scapegoat of some of their ogas way back when in Fed Sec Ikoyi & i just knew that's the guy to make us do right) & only used Ribadu as a point of illustration...

Seem you missed the part where i wrote that my friend claimed he is an easily manipulated simpleton which was why he was an easy tool for OBJ to fight his political enemies..

Shymm3x:
. Didn't you see how close the election was in the whole region, despite the fact that a Yoruba son was on the ballot? Even in Remo/Ijebu axis where Osinbajo is from - APC lost in a lot of areas. Osun was close. Oyo was close. APC lost in Ekiti. Ondo was close. The signs are there.

These folks need to do the right thing.

Shy, you may believe me or not but i can assure you the SW results wasn't a true reflection of events, it was the result of 2k & cups of rice...

Each state got 500m Naira to mobilize votes for Jonathan, Fayose & Kashamu used their "allocations" for the purpose it was meant for while others diverted theirs....

My Aunt in Lagos was offered 500$ to sell her family's PVC, she asked them to increase it to 5k$ cos she said if she is selling her kids future, it should be for a sum that makes brain.. ....


Take it from someone who makes it her business to dig for facts for pure objectivity purpose....


I was just laughing when jstbeinhonest was talking about GOOD GOVERNANCE & EDUCATION..., i didn't respond cos i didn't want us to overflog the issue, but we are talking HUNGER, Just is talking future, when a labourer manages to make 1k or 2k at the end of a hard day's job & he gets someone to offer him 5k for a few minutes at the polling booth....

theV0ice:
Shymm3x

I long for another Awo and his era but I must constantly bring myself back to the earth and admit the truth that men of that hue are no more.



My rants or whatever are over jare. I don't even know if it if it makes

This is no rant & you know it... you just want someborry to complement you on a job well done....


I will just something to it with two illustrations about my perception of the Jagaban...

1.In 2011, ACN presented Nuhu Ribadu , it was expected that the Yoruba people will go with that plan but sohin happened but it is a subject for another day...

I did my usual Ajala work no pay campaign for PMB on my SM pages, to friends, work/biz life cos according to a friend in EFCC, Ribadu is a weak willed, malleable creature which made it easy for OBJ to use him in his special vendetta against errant govs & political associates....

Till today, I'm still marveled by the events of 2011..



2...
Opeyemi Bamidele VS Fayemi in Ekiti... It needs no soothsayer to highlight the fact that APC lost ekiti cos Jagaban for whatever reasons best known to him supported Fayemi despite it being obvious Ekiti people didn't want an Acada governor & were going to ensure he didn't return...

Fayemi meant & did arguably well but he was too elitist for the average ekiti man who prefers a Governor that will dance bata at his son's freedom party... The market woman whose preference is for a governor who will share a corn cob with her..

Tinubu knew quite well MOB would have swung the votes but he let pride (wild guess) make the decision not to field him dictate the course of events...

That decision i still can't wrap my head around..

Jagaban wants the SW to progress but it will be at his own dictates & pace...

As for Pa Awolowo, My parents enjoyed free education & i know the trickle down effect on myself & siblings, so i will swallow spit on top my opinion....

MayorofLagos:
Modath,
you have this magic....an ability to grasp, you posess an innate connection with all aspects of a working system, and you illustrate it in a flow that lines up all the disjointed parts into an integral module.

You should find a sponsor to give you your own tv show, an hour session a day to raise awareness and de-zombize the citizens.

Awwhhhh

Gbam!! Did you hear that sound?? That is my head blowing up... .. Thanks for the compliments, I have some plans, just waiting for the right time..

Thanks once again...

Gbawe:
What "stranglehold" ? With Tinubu everyone practices 'scapegoatism' because it is populist to do so yet the reality is that the SW , minus Tinubu, would have been overrun by the most evil, most corrupt, most virulent and most anti-people form of politics possible while you and anybody else would not be able to do squat about it.

Elder Gbawe, as much as Pa Awolowo did for the yoruba tribe, He wasn't a saint, neither is Jagaban oooo

You only took the minus & totally ignored the positives i attributed to him, it isn't fair ooooo

We all know, minus God's intervention, as it stands today, in 75% of Yorubaland if Jagaban says jump, the only question is how high.. , he has done well but not at a 100% ....

I said "unfettered progress" & you didn't bother to check the connotation of the phrase but have taken objection to the whole thing... issokay ooo

You know, i won't drag nothing with you but Jagaban has feet of clay ooooo....



This life sha..

The irony of everything is that MO is subtly implied as being an APC political Jobber, this is comical..

dassyslimmy:
freedom of speech has being misused here. for ur information,kwara state is dominated by yorubas nd nupes(tapa).

The sarcasm passed you by!

Ghandi12:
Let's just hope this is a vestige of the old order. It is offensive to hard-working tax-payers to know public officers live like Kings while majority of citizens can barely make ends meet.

The private people would attest to the fact that most successful Nigeria CEOs/Managers returning Billions/month hardly have more than 3 aides hanging around them. And these aids always have specific productive functions. On the contrary most top public officers cannot boast of making 1 million naira income or equivalent for the state in one month so why should they have expenses running into millions?

If the present government continued the wasteful practice of "giving jobs to boys" then we have not succeeded in any enthroning change.

In every productive democracy, legislative aides are the norm & are INTEGRAL , it is our culture of gross indolence that has made them become objects of disparagement ..

Shymm3x:
Err...before I hit the sheets, I think we need to discuss the enigma of Tinubu. I shall be back tomorrow to read everyone's submissions.

I want to folks to dissect the man, his achievements, his shortcomings, his overbearing influence on Yoruba politics, and if he's the right person to lead Yorubas as we proceed. Or perhaps if we need to go back to the drawing board and start looking for new leaders.

Time is ticking. Tick tock tick tock.

Tinubu is like rain, you don't want it during an outdoor party, you surely do want it during in severe drought..

His stranglehold on the affairs of the SW is inimical to unfettered progress BUT.....

He has been the rallying force for the tribe,

The champion & anchor of the political fortunes of the yoruba people so it's dicey trying to have a stand..

Unlike Obasanjo, who can never be trusted , You are 150% sure the Yoruba portion he will always fight for...


Have a lot , but can't find appropriate words to express.

Is this a crude joke?

What have they done beyond waiting for allocation?

What won't one hear in this obodo Nigeria.

Candyrain:
Banks may have not opened for business but then there are still monies in the bank and if it's someone's home then they must have gotten information about it.

Why do you think, robbers don't rob banks after close of business or in the midnight which would have made perfect sense like they do home burglaries...

They need someone with the vault keys to actually open the VAULTS & SAFES..,

If they could just shoo

jeffcole:
Eko o ni baje

Did you think before typing this

What is praiseworthy about violence

Just heard on Channels sunrise daily now but this is confusing;


*Modified*

It is not a ROBBERY, it is a JTF action against water ways vandals....

CP of police just cleared things up..

All ye hoping to draw & quarter the government, sheath your swords, Today is not your lucky day..

ibedun:
Why? Please explain thanks.

Ok, this is how it works;

1.MDAs prepare their budget for the next year,

2.Heads of MDAs go to the Senate to defend their budget.

3. Senators overseeing that particular establishment "request" for a little "something" to be added to that in order not to "slash" it.. Eg, min of pepper & salt puts in a reguest for 500mn, senators ask for 100m as the "fee" for smooth passage, which will automatically increase the 500 to 600..

4.They quickly source for the money from one of their numerous accounts & they pay up even before passage, otherwise it is OYO


With the TSA, there is no longer going to be money for heads of MDAs to steal let alone kickback to them.. All the inflows & outflows are no longer shrouded in mystery...

MDAs are presently looking for ways to spend what is left of their budgets, so it doesn't revert to TSA cos by 31st Dec, every unspent kobo will be pulled out..


Lawmakers didn't kill & maim to get to their post for that ish mehn..


Hope it's clearer, if it isn't, let me know.

The move they need for him to make is to frustrate TSA, this facebook menene nor concern them.





@Ghandi12,
It is a major income drainer & it cuts across most of the strata of public service, ministers have a minimum of 10 apart from the core civil servants working in ministers' offices..

They come in (days minister is around) play zuma, drink tea & just take up space!!!

See Dokpesi & Run,

Wetin we hear by ourselves!!!

Man no be God, otherwise dis kain thing is the type that needs instant "thunder & lightning" treatment.



On the other hand, one cannot be certain of the kind of blackmail & threats that have been directed his way that has made him recant something that is on Video!!!

Shymm3x:
Bossip used to be my home. I was on that blog for three years during Uni before they changed the comments link to disqus. Disqus messed up the convos IMO.

I ruled bossip with an iron fist and created a legendary status with Glok9 (the ebonics king from Harlem), Sydney (the wordsmith and one of the most intelligent women, if not the most intelligent woman that I've ever had a convo with in cyberspace), and Daywalker the daydream. I won't tell you my username on there but all the old members from my era still remember my legend. I still pop in from time to time to read posts from glok9 and daywalker - these guys always crack me up.

Do you know Adeola, the naija chic with massive ti.ts that works for bossip?

I messed with Necole Bitchie till she banned my IP cos I told her that Trey Songz hit that. After that, I did change my IP, but I just never bothered with her blog anymore. That was when she first started, way before her blog became the goldmine it's today. And most of the posters on there are females and all they do is gossip, anyway.

Ice Prince is wack. I stopped taking the guy seriously when he said his bars are like fish. WTF?

If you really want the wrath of Necole, talk sideways about Bey, ,

I don't post nothing, never even registered on any of the urban blog, just there for the comments...

I'm more into Sandrarose though, she is hilarious& hard, her members are also more hilarious & harder....

Lipstickalley is also my alley cos of the Teas...

Katsumoto:
I agree - people will find a way to survive in the short term even if its through praise and worship of politicians.

Its just that this is a chicken and egg scenario - which comes first

Why can't Nigerians be more like Eastern Europeans who will lynch their politicians?

Katz, Let's not forget that it's the hungry party members that are delegates at political parties primaries....

Our politics is too monetized, 99.9% view it as "come & chop" & are quick to denounce with the " nobody holy pass" stance..

Which is why I'm praying for this TSA to work if they will refuse to unbundle this unholy marriage of inconvenience so politicians will have to actually work for votes, Live up to their campaign promises & then earn the trust to be allowed to go further..

Shymm3x:
Nah, not really.

Once you listen to rap music a lot, you'll definitely understand at least 90% of ebonics.

Rap music is more of ebonics/5-percent-nation dictionary.

It's just basically like listening to reggae/bashment and how it helps in understanding patois.

I used to live on AA websites back in the day, and everyone thought I was an AA.

You know i ghost mode when you guys talk about music & i laugh..... I enjoy rap music, what's not to love, the word play, the rhyme, the ones that then have great beats to complement them.... #bliss

of course i understand ebonics , that's what you'd see on Sandrarose, bossip, necoleb, ybf, etc but it's a whole different ball game when a semi literate punishes you with it..

*sidebar* ... If you really want to know how wack Ice Prince really is, look for his joint with Sarkodie, you'll almost shed tears for him... It was a bloodbath..

We can spend every night & day postulating hypothesis on the way out but until a short term poverty alleviation scheme is put in place, our people are not likely to have a mental shift from scrounging for crumbs of politicos tables....

When the few of us here gather to fashion a way out of the quagmire & we don't have cups of rice & 2k to share to people, what happens??
