₦airaland Forum

  I wonder how some people are not ashamed to speak offensive, vulgarised words in a public forum. They speak as if they are laid under the sun and hatched on the rock. How we speak greatly reflect our upbringings. How i wish some "wannabes" understand the meaning of their words!

_{**MT shakes his head and attends to some other sane comment**}

@akinalabi
Well, not all of us are as proficient as you are in English language

While I do not lay claim to being an authority in English, (of course  I still make my blunders), I guess it should not be that bad!.

@akinalabi
Thats my point. He shouldnt have taken this up on a public forum. [b]If you
cant stay till the end, why come in? [/b]I WILL NEVER respond to such on
a public forum defending myself

Well you have made your own decision know, but unfortunately it is all about dapo and not you.
So, what message does he pass across to you , running away when it matters ? Being a Coward ??._{Decide for yourself}

@akinalabi
On that link (including the links at OBAMA EVERYWHERE), I did not see
Obama defending his aspirations on a public forum. Dont twist things.

Why should i twist things?. It will be foolyhardy to expect Obama to reply to things in a public forum by himself. He has people that responds to stuff on his behalf on those fora. The interesting things about these people that replied to stuffs on behalf of Obama were :
They did not play the role of  cheap sycophants, they faced the issues and left out irrelevancies. They did not complain of people using multiple ID, no picture on profile etc.

Summarily, they dialogued effectively without any iota of confrontation, using the most modest of words.

@toba1909,

I still insist that I refuse to either join issues with you or descend to your level. I have made this my stand known to you several times on this forum.
While we understand that English is not our mother's tongue, so we can still permit some flaws, but reading through your post alone is a disaster. It makes no meaning. You have MURDERED English completely.

I will just advise that instead of playing a cheap, iliiterate sycophant here on this thread, it will be better for you to go and address your deficienc(ies) in English for you to be able to scale through WAEC at least. It is going to enhance your art of communication. _{Even Cockney English is not this bad!.  I wonder} . Like I always say to you, I will just let you pass.

@akano kolawole

Can you imagine this?

Ignore all persons who come to attack those who question
dapolam. But those that attack dapolam are welcome

What else do you want Kobojunkie to say?. I challenged Dapolam (only Dapolam!) to debate, and he accepted. He was not under any duress whatsoever to accept, only for him to bolt out at the last minute. Next thing, some people sprung up to unleash incoherent mayhem on anyone that asks Dapo to respond to those questions. Can you beat that?

I am not talking about all the different questions that he has been asked in the past here. I am referring to the 11-golden questions that he accepted to debate on. So, what better medicine should we apply to all the "mouthpiece" of Dapo than to press the "IGNORE" button, because in the first instance , the question was not even addressed to them but to Dapo.

@Olanajim
May I ask you questions? And you must answer them.

You have just shot yourself in the foot. You do not have to be forceful or dictatorial on a public forum like this. Why do you need to use the word "MUST".?. OK, I am calling your bluff, let heaven break. Even when I challenged Dapo to a debate, I did not use a forceful word, why must you?. _{I hope Nairaland has not been turned to a military barrack, where we have to be taking orders}

Even if you have used a better choice of word, I will not even respond to your queries. This thread is all about Dapo and not about me. If you want to raise any dust about me, create a thread for me and I will surface to take you on. Promise !. I see this as an act to re-direct the focus of this thread from Dapo. I refuse to be fooled.

@akinalabi
The link you showed me didnt show where Obama was defending himself
on a public forum.

You have to go and check again. I have told you to click on http://www.barackobama.com/index.php, then scroll downward, you will see OBAMA EVERYWHERE inscription. Then check all the public fora and blogs listed under it. To be specific , they are 16 in numbers.

However, I hope you are not looking for an "Obama" ID replying to people on those fora and blogs. _{I bet I will be shocked if you reason along that line} .
The point I am trying to prove here is Obama embraced internet technology well deployed on public fora and blogs to launch his campaign.

@ Dapo Supporters
I challenge anyone to quote me on this thread if i have ever challenged Dapo on his father's performance while in office. I have taken time to take him on, on his own manifestos, and his own abilities as well as record for the challenges ahead. I have given him an option to air his view and unfortunately he develops a cold feet. Read my questions again, and tell me if those are too much to ask. _{Fortunately, Dapo himself does not complain about the question, I guess it is the quality of them that got him scared}

@boss
this thread has totally been derailed and that's a shame

Abi o!. This thread is so near to his expiry date. _{Just waiting for the moderator to do something about it}

@Kobojunkie
Can we please ignore all persons who come in to attack those who question dapolam?

You are absolutely right, _{though sometimes the adrenalin in you might just pump up}.

NB : It is amazing when some people speak "slum slangs" and they claim they speak English. Some slangs will even put the speaker in prison if spoken in some environments in some developed countries. This is a politics forum and not a rap forum where some "gutter" words should be allowed.

Let us try to justify our going to schools by speaking modest, simple, understandable, dictionary-friendly and correct English. It will even make us dignified persons in the comity of elites

@must_a_far,

I don stop. The prayer just end. We do hope there will be testimony.

It is necessary sometimes to put some people in their places. I am not a person that can be easily cowed.
I detest stupid sarcasm with a passion.

@ Sauron,

I can understand there is complication in your spiritual treatment.

Be rest assured we are still on our bended knees

@sauron

Thanks for just ranting in tongues. Besides, seriously speaking I do not know it includes mental disorder.

I pray and strongly hope you are healed. I will join in you in prayers along with other "saints" on Nairaland

@Sauron
I cannot see your response. U might have to print it again for me to see.

If I should write twice and you still claim not seeing my response, I guess I have to write in Braille.

I am sorry for not understanding where you are coming from. I do not know you are visually-challenged (_{no insult meant to the handicaps})
The person that you employ typing for you should have read it to your hearing , unless you are deaf at the same time.

@MT,

Thats not name-calling. Thats a subtle way of saying I do not want to engage with you but DAPOLAM. He willingly accepted the debate without being forced.

@ Toba1909 :

The last time you crossed my path, the quoted line above was my response and the last time I checked I could still remember that I have not broken my rule of not engaging with e-thugs, e-hooligans for whatsoever reason it might be.

I therefore refuse to descend to your level. I will not be dragged into replying or quoting any part of your statement because it will amount to exercise in futility. The mental prowess to process my response is simply not there for you.

When I see an intellectual miles away, I can smell them and engage them. As a matter of policy, I do not engage an e-tout. I will just allow you to pass.

My apologies if this hurts

@Sauron
I still can't fathom out the fuss here.
So whatz the huffing n puffing about?

You have asked this question previously and I have provided the response. Do I need to write it in spanish
Read it again

@MT
There is nothing wrong in him contesting but dont you still see reason in the electorates questioning him of what he is bringing on board ?. He brings his campaign here and we simply ask him what he has got to offer, as well as his track record, political antecedents & experience.
Are those too much to ask?

Ibadan North East which is part of the consistuency that will vote for Dapolam is where I come from. Presently, the crops of  people that are representing my consistuency are big JOKES. Do you suggest I fold my arms to see the mistake repeating itself?. No way!. I am a stakeholder in 2011 election, if you must know.

@akinalabi
Well, I agree he was "wrong" to appear and then abandon his defence
here but he shouldnt have been here in the first place.

Thank you.

@akinalabi
Having a website and embracing Internet technology is a different kettle
of fish. Its different from coming to a public forum where different people
will come under faceless IDs to lambast you.

I didnt see Obama in a public online forum in the build up to his campaign.

Maybe I'm wrong sha. . .

Well you are WRONG!. Obama took his campaign to blogs & fora. Infact he has 16 of such where he took his campaign to. Maybe you click on his campaign website : http://www.barackobama.com/index.php   {just scroll downward and you will see OBAMA EVERYWHERE at your right hand side}

@Olanajim
You said it was a bait. Yet, it ran more than two pages

Well, you just got it wrong. I was actually referring to post no 707, which was just two lines. That was the bait!

@Olanajim
1.)  You and others thought Dapolam was banned and you almost celebrated it
2.)  Dapolam was not banned
3.) If MT and others who believe they can do better can just throw themselves into the ring
4.)  Who will have predicted Obj to come back from his ota farm to rule this country for the second time in spite of his antecedent?
5.)  If dapolam is destined for the post, who are you or me to stop God from executing His plan?
6.)  Obama believed he can do better. He has no money
7.)  So to your question, I am not dapolam image maker
8.)  Man, try and grow up

1.)  I challenge you to copy and paste my post where I made a definite statement that DAPOLAM was banned.

2.)  That was a definite statement from someone who must be in the know. You did not write that "Dapolam MIGHT have been banned". You were so specific. Try and revise that grammar again please. Isnt that the work of an Image breaker, oh sorry, maker?. _{I dont want to believe that ur english let you down.}

3.) I have never claimed that I can do it better. If you feel I did , feel free to quote me. But you need to be educated that there are places for CRITICS on a political landscape. Not all CRITICS could be best leaders, but they still have their places and roles in politics.

4.) If that is still your political orientation, I must tell you that Nigerians are tired of the quality of election that produced the likes of OBJ. Try and move with tide

5.) Typical Nigerian mentality. In their desperate bid to force a candidate down the throat of the electorates, they lean on God as their last resolve. Or has God told you personally that He is the one in action ?. 

6.) Try and read more about International Politics. Who says Obama is a poor man??

7.) With this degree of aggression in your write-up,  it takes someone out of this world to believe your word.

8.) Gbam!. This is frustration at its full bloom

@MT
I assume "he lost his password or got banned" along with his retinue of sycophants as well.

This was simply a bait to draw DAPOLAM sycophants out of their hidden places.
It was amazing how they swallowed it line and sinker. DAPOLAM sycophants dissapeared from Nairaland along with dapo himself until I wrote that quoted statement, and suddenly they re-surfaced. How strange!. How political malnourished these people are!. This shows how easy they can be manipulated

@olanajim
Dapolam was not banned. I presumed He just choose to focus on more important matter

Thank you for letting us know the situation of things, as I presume you are his Image breaker, oops, sorry maker. However, what do u call a person that accepts challenges publicly but later dissapears without any notice or trace?. Coward .
I suppose we need courageous people, maverick in the Federal House Of Assembly and not lilly liver.

@akinalabi
I'm not for or against this guy but I still wonder what the noise is about.

We already know where you tilt. You do not sound like a neutral. Should you need to be reminded, the noise is all about DAPOLAM defending/justifying his manifestos, as well as proving to us that he has what it takes to effect the "changes" he is clamouring for.

@akinalabi
I can't imagine discussing my political ambitions on a public Internet
forum

It shows you are still practising "Amala Politics". You need to learn the principles of modern politics. Even, Obama creates a website for his campaign. If you need your campaign to have such a penetrating reach, you must embrace the internet technology.

@olanajim
It is time the thread die natural death.

Definitely this thread will die a natural death. There is no better time than now , but just be aware that it will drag Dapo's ambition with it into the "grave". His campaign has taken a nose dive into the abyss.

Besides, it will surprise you the reach of this thread globally !.

@akano kolawole
so we need to stop the thread

I cant but agree with you 100%.

@sauron
Don't doubt unless you are 101% sure.

I assume "he lost his password or got banned" along with his retinue of sycophants as well.

That's the quality of their campaign. They all decided to "melt" away from Nairaland when the situation was getting too hot to handle.

@akano kolawole
We cannot worship your father and worship the son it is never done in OYO STATE,go and check the history of OYO STATE

I beg to defer on this. That is politics of "HATE". This history has got to be destroyed at some point in time. There is nothing bad in allowing the son to serve, after the father might have.

However, they have got to MERIT it all round - This is what we should never compromise

@sauron
If he'd replied you on facebook, why demand another reply here when he would prolly print the same answers??

I play by the rule and I respect decision. It is sheer disrespect and lack of sticking to the rules that will make him reply my questions on facebook rather than Nairaland.
He who comes to equity must come with a clean hands

@sauron
Who knows?? NEPA might be screwing him up.

Well, I am not sure if you are trying to be sarcastic or not, but I hope I can safely assume you are.

This is a guy that accepted my debate willingly, only for him to reply my 11 golden questions on facebook.
I believe that NEPA screwed him up on Nairaland and not facebook. Funny bloke!

@Sauron
A citizen of Nigeria is aspriring for an office and NLers are crucifying him. . . .Can't work it out in me head.

There is nothing wrong in him contesting but dont you still see reason in the electorates questioning him of what he is bringing on board ?. He brings his campaign here and we simply ask him what he has got to offer, as well as his track record, political antecedents & experience.
Are those too much to ask?
Will you still be able to work that out in your head?

@Dapolam,

You have simply confirmed all my assumptions stated above.

@All,

I have been monitoring development on this thread for the past few days, thus, I think I have to air my view again.

It is not a news that I challenged Dapolam to a debate, which he WILLINGLY accepted on Nairaland. I fired 11 golden questions as my first salvos, and up till now I have not received a response from Dapo.
I would not consider what BOSS pasted on Nairaland as the response of Dapo neither would I go to facebook to read about it. Nairaland is the "battleground" and not facebook. Moreso, since those "response" that BOSS pasted was not done by Dapo's ID, I would not relate it to Dapo in anyway.Besides, Dapo did not intimate me that he would respond to my questions on facebook rather than on Nairaland. So, there is no justification for doing that. It is never part of the rule/condition before the debate started.

However, if Dapo does not come to Nairaland again to respond to the 11 golden questions, then I believe people could draw their own conclusions. As for me, I would conclude that :

1. Dapo is not a man of his word.
2. Dapo is a coward.
3. Dapo cannot withstand political heat and pressure. Unfortunately, this habit is not a hallmark of a good house of representative
4. Dapo does not even believe in FOI bill (Freedom of Information) which he promised in his manifesto . He promises to ensure that FOI is passed in the house.
5. If Dapo can abandon his campaign on Nairaland, then he can definitely abandon his people as well as his manifestos when he gets to Abuja.
6. Dapo cannot handle the truth.
7. Dapo cannot be a good loser.
8. Dapo does not believe neither does he respect dissenting views and opinions.
9. Dapo does not play by the rules.

For now the conclusion HAS NOT been drawn, but the next few days would determine.

As for me, I am still awaiting Dapo Lamidi Adesina response to the 11 golden questions that I asked him on the NAIRALAND.

@Dapolam
haba, we are matured citizens ke

People might take it that you are getting temperamental. Do not lose your cool in a public forum like this

@Dapolam
People using different id's isnt the best for the system and the change we clamour.

Thing like this is not uncommon in a public forum. You should not consider it as an issue.

@Dapolam
It is either we allow decency and decorum to prevail or we just excuse me pls,

It will be a political disaster as well as political miscalculation if you excuse yourself at this stage.
You are free to ignore comment you find insultive while you attend to the main issue.

I have answers to all the questions typed now on my system but just thought why do I allow this to go on?These people are just out to fight and not reason.

The hardest part is typing the answers out. Now that you claim you have done it, there should not be any problem posting it. People write for different purpose. You are vying for a public position, and you should expect flaks from different angles. If I were you, I would just take it on the chin. It goes a long way to show how approachable you could be later on.

MT we might have to use another forum to have a healthy and fair debate.Be rest assured that I am ready anytime and anyday

You accepted this debate willingly on this particular thread, and I feel it is better we iron it out on this thread. There is no point opening up another thread for this and it will amount to unnecessary duplication. Moreso, you can not guarantee that the same people you "run" away from will not re-surface in the new thread.

So, Dapo, give it a shot and let have the healthy debate as people are eager to hear you "speak".

@Nemeziz9ja

Next time you break the rule, I will slam the door shut on you!. Ok?

Have you forgotten ?, The key word here is "IGNORE".

I am still awaiting Dapolam response.

@all

Can you please do me a favour ?. Let us try to  ignore toba1909 subsequent comment. He is trying to lead us to nowhere. We have wasted enough space replying to him without him getting the message. Even if he insults you, just ignore his message. It will do a lot of good.

I thought he has moved on, but obviously he has not.

, still waiting for DAPOLAM response

@toba1909,

Thats not name-calling. Thats a subtle way of saying I do not want to engage with you but DAPOLAM. He willingly accepted the debate without being forced.

All the same, thanks for moving on.

@toba1909,

Really I should not be responding to your message because It lacks quality. But for the benefit of other readers , I will

I was using a friend's laptop, who is a NEW member of Nairaland when I posted my message. I never knew he didnt log out. When I realised that, I had to log him out while I now posted using my ID. He later posted his message.

The thing is , have I insulted or created an arbitrary story about Dapolam to justify me disguising my identity?, and has my friend's ID being used to accuse DAPOLAM of anything in his previous posts?.  I guess DAPOLAM needs to pay more attention to question 5 and really give an answer to that. If you must know, I have 2 different YAHOO accounts : one for my personal business and the other for my personal mails. Does that make me any different?.  I guess I  need matured and civilized response here.

Toba1909 should know that insulting people on this is causing more harm than good to Dapo's candidature. We need to grow up and stop chasing shadows.

Dapolam, I am still expecting your response. It is you I engage and not toba1909. I wont be distracted.

Thanks Dapo for your response.

I am not here to attack your personality or conjure up a story out of the blue to dent your ambition. I am here to tackle issues that I feel wont make you an acceptable candidate to vie for this position. Let me take time to re-list them again , and just respond to them :

11 Golden Questions


1. I feel you have not impacted at any grassroot level before within your constituency, why do you want to be involved at the Higher Level i.e Federal House of Representative?. The journey of a thousand years start with a STEP and not a JUMP, I think

2. I feel you need a sound political experience and maturity to be able to function effectively at the Federal House of Representative, could you show me some you can readily display on your resume?

3. Knowing fully well that Federal House of Representative need people with PROVEN track record and impressive political antecedents. Could you point out to some you can boast of please?.

4. As a son of an ex-governor, you had the golden opportunity to be a role model to the youths during your father's reign. Could you point to some conspicuous ways you have gone to demonstrate this ?.

5. Some of your die-hard supporters at Nairaland and Facebook, who have been busy "insulting" anyone that dares to question your ambition, what message do you think they are passing to the people ?, and it's so astonishing that you have not publicly severe tie with them. Are they carrying out your orders?

6. I will like you to convince us of your political ideaologies. For now, I believe that the reason why you are going to the election is because your father was an ex-governor. Could you convince us otherwise ?

7. I feel Charity should not be used as a political platfom, I will like you to justify the use of the so-called "Charity" that you and your supporters have been pointing to as the basis of you impacting at the grassroot.

8. Questions have been asked about the "purported" oil company that you floated ?. Where is the location of this oil company?, Tell us about your partners?,Do you pay tax as at when due?, what is the company's certificate of incorporation number ?. Let me state here that I am in position to verify any claim you make here and make it public with your permission.

9. Some people say you drove away the present Deputy Governor as well as the son of Adedibu, Senator Kamorudeen from your father's compound. Do you feel this is enough reasons to prove that you have the courage , and hence should be voted in ?.

10. You have been clamouring to be treated independently without any attachment to your father. Do we take this your argument as your own acceptance of the failure of your Dad's performance in governance or what better explanation can you give to describe your argument on the issue.

11. Considering what you have heard on both Nairaland and Facebook from people regarding your person, I know a few of the revelation must have come as a shock. Given the benefit of a hindsight, what would you have done different going back into the past?



Please, any one is allowed to make his/her own contribution. Let us make this as healthy as possible. No name-calling, no insult, no distraction from the main issues. DapoLam will do well to number his response to correspond with the questions asked.
Thanks

@Fadaka,
But HERE we go again with your "BLUNDER" .  Is Dapo Constituency outside IBADAN, Can Dapo WIN come 2011 without IBADAN, Do you think Dapo Past life in Ibadan we contribute one way or the other in this election?

Let me react to your questions. Dapo Consistuency is a subset in Ibadan politics where his success or failure in the election is going to be primarily determined. So you have to narrow it down to his consistuency rather than talking about Ibadan as a whole. If you are talking about Governorship election, you cannot but bring Ibadan politics in her totality into play, because the success in that election is going to be determined by the summation of votes in every consistuency in Oyo State.

There is no way his past wont play a MAJOR role in this election. Like I have quoted in one of my contribution[b] "The past is the key that unlocks the future. There can never be present without the past. His credibility will be determined by what transpired in the past.[/b]. If the credibility is to be based on the future, then that is like turning the election into GAMBLE (where someone has to lose(electorate) for someone to gain (Dapolam)). Besides, if it is to be based on present, it translates to fielding a candidate without history. Its a disaster!

I have raised some points in my previous posts, and it still amazes me that no one has come to take me head-on on any of the points raised.
I am not here to attack personalty but I will appreciate informed, healthy discussion why you feel Dapolam is qualified without an iota of insult or prejudice.

I even challenge Dapolam to read through my post and let's have a convincing debate while using NAIRALAND as a platform. I hope Dapolam picks up the gauntlet.

Thanks

@fadaka
I think Ibadan politics is no longer about Consituency but IBADAN @ LARGE.

Sorry you just goofed. Federal House of Rep is about your consistuency. They expect you people that fall within that consistuency to determine the credibility and worthiness of the candidate that wants to represent you. They expect that you can speak volume of the candidate concerned. And in an organised society, people within the constituency can recall back their Representative in the house if he errs or doesnt stick to his manisfesto.

So point of correction, we are not discussing Ibadan Politics here but politics as it relates to Federal House of Representative with Dapo Lam-Adesina aspiring to be a candidate for AC COME 2011.

I have decided to "siddon read" views on this thread before, but some comments here have definitely forced me out of my "cocoon".

@TOBA1909
He went further to give his bank name, account no and account manager's name for anybody to confirm.

I wonder if you know how the banking system work at all ?. Do you think you could just walk in into any bank and start asking about the statement of account of any of their customers, even after having all the details you wrote in your comment?.

@Fadaka
When are you taking it to the STREET OF IBADAN?

Who says people have not heard?. Dapo Lam-adesina intends to represent my consitutency and I have spoken to some people already about it. Those I spoke to told me they have heard about it, but the ambition is being passed as the joke of the century

@toba1909
There's nothing worth dragging here again, after Dapo has come out with how he make his money.

Money-making is a process. Are you saying his explanation was tenable enough. I cannot see any process that leads to him making that money legitimately here. Like I said in one of my posts here, I know the family too well, when he was a broke boy and when he was the governor's son. I am not kidding!

@toksajayi

At least the boy no get past of an assassin like kobomadness.
Come out with proofs against the boy,you cannot.

I hate all this name-calling. If you have an evidence that he is an assassin, better go to the police station to effect his arrest. Nairaland is not a forum for all that inconsequential matter. Moreso, I guess it is easy to prove the case of someone being an assassin than showing documentation as an evidence to prove that someone lived a reckless life during his father's reign as the Governor.

All said and done, as far as I am concerned, I am not moving against his ambition based on his father's antecedents. The question is, what experience is Dapo Lam bringing into the FEDERAL House of Representative for him to be effective?. We are all learned here and we should know the House of Representative is the soul of governance. We need people with PROVEN track record to be able to make laws that will impact positively on the lifes of the people in Naija. Can Dapo Lam shows me his past record that qualifies him for this?.

Meanwhile everybody is saying that the Dapo Lam's father reign as governor should not be referred to, that Dapo should be treated as an independent person, but I GUESS that this will be difficult to implememt. The way I am seeing it, Dapo is vying for the position riding on his father's wing. The only credential I feel he is bringing to the campaign is "my father was a Governor's syndrome". I dont intend to insult anybody here, but you can prove me wrong by coming out with a decent argument on this.

How do you explain a person who have not held any political position before , who have not impacted at grass root level, who have not known and experienced how laws are being made at the state level, to suddenly jump to the federal level. To me , that is a wishful thinking!. Thats unacceptable in this present generation. There is definitely something he knows that we dont know.

I have read about his claim of floating a charity, but I feel I must state here that, floating a charity does not qualify anyone to run for any poiltical position. Infact, you are not supposed to expect anything in return when floating a charity. The moment you do, it is no more a charity.

I have also read that Dapo Lam drove the Deputy Governor, Arapaja , as well as Adedibu's son, Kamorudeen, away from his own father's house. This does not qualify him for that position either. For crying out loud, anybody can do this. Anybody can ward off any unwanted agent from his domain. These are the people that have dined and wined together at the expense of the populace, but when the romance died, the battle started. Do not let us be drawn into a war that does not impact positively on the lifes of the populace. Na dem know why they are fighting one another. Even , the looter, Akala, testified of the romance between Dapo's father and himself during his father's 70th birthday at Jogor's centre. Punch Newspaper carried the story. Do I need to say more?

Moreso, you need to go to facebook where Dapo's ambition is being discussed and you would understand the quality as well as the calibre of the people that form his team, It is so sad. Insulting anybody that dares to criticise his ambition. The message that needs to be gotten here is that Nigerians are tired of bad governance, and if there is ever going to be a change, it has to start from fielding quality candidates.

@lUCABRASI
lets be honest here,if you had children who have suffered with you all your life and then at the twilight of your life,you were lucky to attain that post,wont you give these children a break?

I got this your message after posting my message, so I quicky came to add this.
I agree with you, but everything has got a limit. Moderation is the word. You do not have to push the "frivolities" off limit. Most importantly, you need not do all these at the expense of the populace which you CLAIM you govern as governor.
Thanks.

@sistawoman,

So, what happens when recession hits the husband material ?. I guess he becomes ordinary husband

@Dapolam

Thanks for your understanding.

However, it is not enough for you to just take it in your stride, you need to reflect on the "hard facts" staring you in the face that have been exposed by this forum, and see what you can do to reposition your credibility. You should be more concerned with working on your image than chasing after house of rep.

Your assessment here is bad, but you can always make it better by charting a new course. Forget about this dream of 2011, focus on your credibility, try and build a formidable credentials over some years to come, and who knows, Oyo state peope might even be those rooting for you to contest for even Governorship in the later years.

After all said and done, I will be damn shocked to see your campaign poster for 2011 in Ibadan. And dont forget that Nairaland, as it stands now will be a good reference for your opponent to unearth the well-catalogued "sins" of the past.

A word is enough for the wise

@dapolam,

Thanks for your response.

However, I think I should make you realise one or two things.

With all sincerity, I do not think that you have the experience or the potential to be part of the member of the house of Representative. I think you have to start from the grassroot.

I wont want us to bastardise the "CHANGE" that OBAMA is preaching all over the world. We need resourceful people with perfect blend of experience , exposure and right educational credentials to be able to cause this CHANGE. Also, glaring proven track record and INTEGRITY that majority of the people can attest to.

I am afraid you can not boast these requirements on your CV for now. Being far too ambitious will easily give you away as if you are after the cash in Abuja than the welfare of the people that you are proclaiming here. Try and learn from the people that have been there before , moreso for a mere fact that your dad was an ex-governor does not translate to you contesting for a political office by all means.

As you wrote that being in house of rep will allow you to impact changes than being a councillor or chairman, to be honest, I do not buy that line. You do not have to be in the political mainstream before we could feel you.

Lastly, beware of Sycophants that are driving you, they are after your money. Comparing yourself to Dimeji Bankole is an error for now. Try and take a look to the CV of Dimeji and you will be humbled by what he has got in his arsenal.

I'm not trying to insult you here but I am only trying to tell you the hard fact, and the truth of the matter is that I know you as a person, including your entire family.

You will be shocked if i reveal my identity to you. I hope you still remember "Agbeni" market in Ibadan. I used to come to mum's shop before Dad became a governor. I knew the humble beginning, so pls, dont put the cart before the horse pls.

We can not afford to forget about the past , because that is the key that unlocks the future. Wherever we are, let us use our position wisely. I hope Dapo learnt from his past that has been dealt a blow here on Nairaland. My 2 cents. Aye Oloba ko lo titi

@DAPOLAM,

I am back again.

I am not questioning your qualifiction. I am only asking for the reason why you prefer to start from House of Rep rather than Chairmanship or councillorship I feel that House of Rep is the soul of governance where laws are being made for the public. It requires a whole lot of experience apart from paper qualification. So, what makes yu feel that you have the expected experience to cope with the challenges in the house of rep.

I have watched the proceedings in the house before and I must tell you that the set of people we have in there are quite a disgrace to the consitution
and the society.

So, summarily why chairmanship and not starting from the grassroot.

Thanks

@DAPOLAM,


I live in Ibadan, bodija to be precise and I was very much around during your dad's regime.

I have 2 questions for you :

Firstly, your dad rode on the back of the tiger (adedibu) and ended up in his belly (not winning the second term). On whose back are you riding this time to the House of assembly?.

Secondly, what political experience are you bringing into the house of assembly. House of assembly is not meant for the green horns. Your discipline (agric) has not prepared you for the challenges ahead. So, let us know your political antecedents pls.

We need men of integrity, come 2011, and I have not accused you that you are not one. Answer these and we go to the next level, if need be.
