Let me introduce my sweetheart; the M134 Minigun, it can spray over 50 bullets per second. i don't have to carry it , simply mount them on vantage positions in my house and program them with motion detector sensors to shred any intruder, almajiri or robber or area cockroach. Ara ga agba ewu awusa , while i just sleep on in my bedroom. that is my target, whether govt approves or not is not my headache, but i will get there. so all hypocrites like oyb on this thread can go on yakking , folks are thinking seriously of how to defend them selves and we are not far from these realities.

Moves,
obj did a lot of good things including the telecommunication industry which is enjoyed all over nigeria till date.

Am Glad u said these,

i would want to remind us here that most of us are not even aware of the dramatic situation with the april polls.
atiku was on his own based on court injuction so there was no way he could win and be president of nigeria. remember ribadu gazzetted a fraud case that indicted atiku within one week and declared him illegible to context the april polls through inec.

But It has since been proven that Atiku is corrupt, not even by EFCC, but by the US govt

did u follow the pdp convention that did not hold. do u know that odili was favourite till the last minute when obj changed his stance. do u know buba marwa was in the race and both men were asked to drop their presidential ambition or face efcc.
odili dropped his ambition knowing what will happen to him if he fails. marwa was sturborn till he was invited by ribadu who suggestion a settlement outside the court.
warwa complied with their instruction and today he is compensated with ambassadorian position.
whatsoever yar adua does today will be related to those two big men(ribadu and obj) who even against the wishes of majority of nigerians imposed him on us.

Well if these guys didnt have any skeleton in their cupboard they wouldnt have cowed in but we know better; Also they had the option of carpet crossing to pursue there ambition, We can accuse Yardua of alot of things but I dont think corruption will be one of them; the man is so clueless & living in the past that the best he can do marry off his 2 lovely daughters as 3rd & 4th Wife

nobody will do anything to iwu because[b] iwu did nothing wrong in nigeria[/b]. if anyone is accussing iwu, he shld be able to be linked to his employee who till date sees him as the best man in nigeria.

I Hope you are just joking with the bolded part of that statement,

chidichris:

the lowest level of human beings here are those who praise obj/ribadu and turn back to criticise yar adua and his group.
we are all witnesses to the events that brought yar adua to power.
it is a general knowledge that ribadu and obj on their own brought yar adua on board.
it was this same ribadu that made us to understand that yar adua was the only man qualified among every other nigerian to be president.
if there is any manner of failure or failures, nigerians shld look towards the direction of yar adua for explaination bcs it was him who disqualified every other contestant and made yar adua a lone striker.
i will like us to admit the failures and apportion blames to the right direction.
who brought yar adua? obj. who brought ribadu? obj. so the praises and blames on the side of the above two must go to the same direction.
there is a God that will supply them with enough confussion for our freedom.
ribadu was doing better on the side of buying property with his inlaw's name than as a corruption fighter.
he was so stupid that he did not consider any federal govt appointed politician corrupt.
the only corrupt people in nigeria were govs who could not dance to his tone.
where was ribadu when el rufai was sharing all the lands in abuja to his girl friends?
war on corruption indeed.

debosky:

What are you saying really? How is 'how much land does one man need' related to PAYING for ONE PLOT of land in Abuja

Read the Article -he wrote it.then u will see

Why can't Abati get a land allocation approved by the minister directly? Why must he buy 'of a private entity'? ALL Land allocation (whether through 'private entity' or not) is approved by the minister, so what is this talk about 'undue questions'??

National Honour is a different matter all together - it is not your constitutional right to have a national honour. ANYONE is allowed to own land in Abuja, and he got allocated and paid for it.


BUT NOT EVERY ONE IS ALLOCATED A CHOICE LAND IN ABUJA--It is also not a constitution right to be allocated a land in Abuja, It can be deemed as an entitlement due to his standing in society,


This is nothing but rumour mongering. Let people speculate to the high heavens. It is high time we stopped operating by rumours and start sticking to facts.

I dont consider it rumour mongering as they present a documentary evidence to show he was allocated a land, the Issue is not whether he paid for it or Not; but allowing his integrity to be questioned by accepting such as allocation he puts himself in light of corrupt politicians that are greedy for grain, he doesnt work in Abuja does he? He is not a civil servant ? hence he must know and expect that tongues will wag

Moves:

I disagree, We the readers of your column, members of the Public can hold anybody operating in the Public realm accountable, Herein Lies the problem with the Nigerian Leadership,

Biowande:


Apart from my parents who sent me to school it is only the Ibru family and God that can demand for any personal account from me or my transaction with those wielding power, some of whom are my friends.

must_a_far:

things are getting better. if to say this dude don answer kweshun since we for don pass this stage. this thread be like FOI bill, some few people just dey stall am sha.

dapolam:


Asper qualification,We have seen people with all the degrees in the world moving us backward and not having anything to offer.I am not the best and sure I can never be, but I think it is time we forget the issue of qualification and stick to issues like God fearing,positive,developmental,inspirational,forward looking and exposed individuals who has got a lot to offer asper governance.My oppinion might be wrong but i suggest we analyse and see it from both angles.I.e yours and mine.Then we can reach a compromise to move Nigeria forward.Thank you and God bless.

cre8tivity:

i still think dapo deserves a credit for coming out to defend himself and also to present his intention.

Typing gibberish on the Internet is nothing to be credited for, neither is being computer literate especially for a recent university graduate, show how low the nigerian expectations , WTF [color=#990000][/color]

the sad part to this story is, 99% of these noise makers haven't been to nigeria in 10-15 years and also have no plans to return any time soon. they certainly wouldn't be casting any vote during election time. they are powerless, the only thing they are good at doing is making noise and nothing else.

So becos one does not reside in nigeria, the going on's there shouldnt be our concern, what a myopic view, utter rubbish[color=#990000][/color]

it's ok to throw questions at this young man, it's even ok not to like him, but it isn't ok to disrespect him regardless of his past or his father's past. nigerians must learn how to respect one another and stop this uncivilized way of thinking.

Are u saying if this dude is guilty of having a sordid past we should accord him respect, am guessing u joined those carrying placard to welcome Alams when he was released,  Kindly speak for urself not all every person will sell their integrity for a pot of porridge [color=#990000][/color]
i can bet you guys that dapo will be elected. and why?
because you guys are cowards, who ran away. sorry, you have no voice.

U mean he will rig his way in, the usual naija way, [b][/b]

cre8tivity:

well, it is only right to do what is right. atiku should cool down and do whatever it takes to contribute towards building a new nigeria.

cre8tivity:

my question will be: why is it taking this long to "KAN" this bush-boy, called ribadu?

fizokey:

i'll ask her why it's taking long to arrest that public enemy number 1. Mr Ribadu,

Kobojunkie:

As much as I agree that there is the problem of cost and availability, I must add that the ‘educated’ poor would go out of there way to spend money in cases where they know it is in their best interest to. So I am not entirely convinced that cost is the big issue for those who have chosen to wear pumpkin shells and buckets on their heads. I mean, unless the law specifies the tech of the helmets, I would assume they would be overlooked for at least wearing some FORM of helmet their heads while riding. Some of these men have money tucked away to, say pay for their girl friend’s dowry or buy that piece of land they have been eyeing for years. If we push to convince them of the need for a good quality helmet, as against plastic/plant head covering, we might see more and more of them making an effort to change their old ways.

About some chairman taken it upon himself to use this to drum up effort for his cause, I would not put my stock in that at all. We are still talking of Nigeria here where the CHOP-I-CHOP mentality seems the order of the day.
