Nice, very very nice.

In Nigeria we elect 75yr old to lead here.

A man in his 70s is not exactly a spring chicken tasked with changing the lives of 160million people, the workload may take its toll. Lets pray Buhari lives long but Fayose might be vindicated, its still early days yet.

The job of president is not like any other job, its a 24hrs a day job.

The average lifespan of a Nigerian is 55yrs, Buhari is 73yrs, was Fayose really wrong to warn Nigerians?

Pics?

SeverusSnape:
Seconded!

Bros I go pay any amount

MzJackBaueress:
You haven't answered the Op's question.

I did answer his question, you employed APC optics to view my post, read it again this time using normal lenses.

Mayweather is not the governor of Osun. I'd pay big money to see Mayweather beat the shiiit outta Rauf nevertheless..

His name is now as household as the “report of
fashion in proud Italy”. He is a leader of leaders;
and a true leader at that; because he commands
not from the rear, but he braces, with his chest
the heat and the chill of all battles. He is the
veritable “Knight of the Garter” of our
contemporary politics; “valiant and virtuous, full
of haughty courage, such as is grown to credit
by the wars; not fearing death nor shrinking
from distress, but always resolute in most
extremes”. Time has proved that where “your
‘good’ word cannot advantage him, your slander
never can en-damage him”.


He is petit and unassuming; as ‘modest as the
dove’; as ‘temperate as the morning’; “for
patience, he will prove a second Grissel”; his
words are “bonds and his oaths are oracles”; his
‘truth’ is as the ‘truth’ of Martin Luther; it is
‘Marching on’; his code of battle as mosaic as
Malcolm X’s: to “Forerun woe with woe”. His is
“courage mounted with occasion”; and although
he is not the war-mongering muckraker, yet he
is one ready always “to parley or to war” -as the
occasion demands. That is the stuff that
‘courage’ is made of: namely that although great
men should not be “mutinous in peace”, yet
when the occasion demands they should be no
less “bold at war”.

He did once assert that the ruling political
dynasty was a deeply rooted evil-iroko tree; hard
put to uproot except it is axed ‘limbs’, ‘trunk’
and ‘torso’! And now he has proved to us that
every ‘obstacle’ has odds to which it must yield;
and that “many strokes, though with a little axe
will hew down and fall the hardest timbered-
oak”. Little did we know he was a prophet of his
own time; – a voice in the wilderness of our
troubled democracy, prophesizing the looming
fall of a ‘behemoth’.

He is Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the Asiwaju and the
Jagaban; once ‘Leader of the Opposition’; now
the great ‘masquerade’ himself daring to be
opposed –if any the courage have! “The blood
stirs more” they say “to rouse a lion than to
start a hare”; but who dares to rouse a lion
must have more than a mortal’s measure of
blood! Tinubu is the Hannibal of our time; the
scourge of the ruling political dynasty –now in
its inevitable throes of death. For device and
tactic, he has proved another Hercules; for “grim
aspect” and for knitted brow in moments of
battle, he is the Hector of our age. Thus Tinubu
is Hannibal, Hercules and Hector all in one!
It is said that “When ‘Fortune’ means to men
most good, ’She’ looks upon them with a
threatening eye”. Tinubu did not, yesterday, walk
the paved or gilded roads to the hill station of
today’s renown; he has braved the dry and
dusty weathers of Fortune’s threatening stare;
and in reward of which both “Nature and Fortune
have now joined to make him great”. He is now
the “theme of Honor’s tongue, Sweet Fortune’s
minion and her pride”; but more than else he is
today, “among the groove of his rank, the
straightest plant”.

“Small curs” they say, “are not regarded when
they grin; but great men tremble when the lion
roars”. They are right Tinubu, you are truly a
Lion in a rare den that is uniquely yours; but
they are dead wrong, you are not ‘The Lion of
Boudilon’; that is a den too small for a Lion with
your kind of Mane! The Asiwaju is more suited
to ‘The Lord of the Nigerian Manor’ –that is a
befitting ‘den’ truly your size.

“Strong reasons make strong actions”; or so the
Great Shakespeare would say. Once a troubled
nation we did stand as “upon a rock environed
by a wilderness of sea”, waiting for the surge of
the ocean’s tempests to make of us a
sumptuous meal; but just when we were
hovering around the precipice, when it seemed
almost as “far from help as Limbo is from
bliss”, just then Tinubu, in a league of amity
with our nation’s greats, alighted right in the
firmament of our political woes”; for the
inevitable to happen, -a battle long foretold
between the army of ‘good’ and the forces of
‘evil’; between ‘change’ to a libertarian today and
tomorrow and ‘continuity’ of the impunity and
arbitrariness of old.

Let the annals of our history bear witness, that
in that battle the Jagaban “stirred as the time”,
you were “fire for fire”, you “threatened the...

Only in Nigeria would a thief be classed a hero, SMH!

tucky200:
E go shock u..when baba go jail one of them....never trust a general,they are trained to deceive and take advantage of any situation..baba retired military men that helped him in his coup in 1983 simply becoz they were corrupt..make we siddon dey watch wetin go happen..stop to they judge when hin never enter

How much has the corrupt free Abacha family returned, last time I checked it was over 1billion. Bros sorry, I can't have faith in someone who said Abacha stole no money.

Nonsense!!

Start the verification with the president elect.

The incoming olodo should provide his certs if they want the rest of us to provide ours. If Buhari can become president without any proof he attended school, why can't people work as clerks without certs?

tucky200:
So he should leave jonathan,NOI,alison madueke and co abi.....u just too dey sentimental...u need serious deliverance

I never said the above, I however said Buhari would go on a witch hunt, paving the way for his friends to fritter what's left of the economy.

Would it be too much for the @OP to provide links?

Corruption can't be fought using "Change" slogan alone, Buhari said Abacha did not steal any money even though his children repaid us billions. Saying Abacha is blameless makes Buhari's corruption drive suspicious.

Let Buhari jail his friends including Tinubu, then we'd join in the fight against corruption.

Being a very vindictive man, I see Buhari probing his enemies whilst sharing with friends the largess his position brings. He did same thing as PTF chairman, allowing his friends to cart away billions of dollars.

Buhari is only a paper tiger when it comes to fighting corruption.

Anyone against GEJ becomes a born again, abeg OBJ is a saint.

She couldn't stay the course.

wow

Has anyone noticed those trekking for #babaonechance have no certificates whilst those trekking for GEJ are graduates?

temitemi1:

Bros am with you on this.

PDP needs fighters like Fayose and Wike to deal with the Asiwaju of corruption.

Someone took down the Anini video on Youtube, would really appreciate a link to the video. Didn't finish watching it due to connection problems.

Mogidi owe me some explanation

This story is not really straightforward, check the quotes below.

The cemetery staff were instructed by health officials from the council to stop exhumation, after digging three feet into the ground, saying that there was no sign that a corpse had been buried at the site.
