seyiade50:Oh, it's wrong for Ambode to be Tinubu's stooge and very right for Agbaje to be Bode George's? Besides, how was I arrogant, shallow and 'hatable' in my analysis? I'm not a politician and I don't have the cause to nurse any personal grudge against any of the parties. I am an informed citizen who only reviewed the 2 candidates based on the facts available from whence I formed an opinion which I am entitled to. Think it would only be rational for you to take me up on what I said about the candidates rather than passing baseless judgment on me. |
himkers:Really?, think this is strong enough to annul the presidential election. Oya, to the courts you go! |
Adefaze:...and you will loose like Ojukwu and still like Ojukwu, you perhaps will blame your loss on Okorocha for not joining your side of the fray. But very much unlike Ojukwu, after your loss and for the rest of your life, you will be relegated and remain irrelevant in both local and national schemes. |
It's amazing how some people don't learn from history. Just ''yesterday'' in Osun State, there was a jester who wanted to be governor and suddenly fell in love with the grassroots, dressing in their Ankara, riding Okada and eating popcorn publicly. He was such a joker and of course the people identified that in him and egged him on but since the people knew governing is serious business not befitting a jester, they refused him entry into the Government House. |
lalasticlala:Talk of Baby-Bloggers and Beer Parlor tale bearers, this is a typical example. It defies all logic and reasoning and the ill-informed sentimental argument is nauseating. Xray the 2 candidates and tell me which is better. Agbaje, a pseud-pharmaceutical entrepreneur who could not develop his business beyond a single outlet in over 2 decades, who could not withstand the heat from local competition like Fidson, Emzor, Juli etc, abandoned his core business for politics where he had been consistently jumping from one party to the other in his desperation for guber nomination. Let's leave the source of his funding for now. From the foregoing, one can deduce that Agbaje has never successfully managed a business concern involving 100 people. He is a desperate politician without any ideology whatsoever beyond his self interest. ''If party A will not nominate me as governorship candidate, I will go to party B''. Desperation all the way and this will be manifested fully in the eventuality of him loosing this election. Agbaje will have no qualms aligning with APC. To me, it would be suicidal to entrust the biggest economy in Nigeria in such a person. Ambode, a technocrat of repute who was pivotal to the various developmental issues in the state spanning many regimes. A creative administrator as evidenced in his numerous achievements whilst in service. An international and award-winning scholar. A civil servant with envious track records that cannot be overturned easily. Well read, adequately exposed, internationally recognized. To me, there is no basis for comparing them, the 2 belong to different worlds and Ambode's is far far ahead of Agbaje's and in a sane clime, Ambode will definitely send Agbaje to the dust bin of history that he truly belongs. |
LasgidyPort:God Bless you for this rejoinder. Femi Aribisala is so hate-filled that he has lost his mind. At times i wonder if he has a family and the kind of father he is. |
The Nation: Posted by: Our Reporter The elections are due on Saturday and the presence of the party that has won the presidency and majority seats in the National Assembly in the Southeast is worrisome to some discerning leaders of the geo-political zone. One of them – Chief Ralph Obioha – in this article, entitled: “Let us vote for APC on April 11”, is urging his kinsmen to be on the positive side of history. My apologies to Igbo are predicated on the reality of check that majority Igbo leaders misled our people and the blame should not be visited on the generality of Igbo. What happened on March 28 was a complete leadership failure and a complete analysis will be disclosed after the April 11 governorship and Houses of Assembly elections. But suffice it to be noted that the unique experiences the Igbo have been subjected to in Nigeria have a lot to do with their mindset to secure safety in the majority. An inalienable logic when their leaders did not calculate properly that the formation of the All Progressives Congress (APC) meant that the majority had shifted to the new party. Some experienced Igbo leaders including Chief Enechi Onyia, a Senior Advocate of Nigerian (SAN), Chief Onwuka Ukwa, Chief Dozie Ikedife and a host of us, observed the dangerous path the Igbo were treading and the depth some of the Igbo leaders were determined to mislead our people. We came together to advise our people to vote for Gen Muhammadu Buhari. We may not have succeeded in winning any of the states in the Southeast for Buhari and it is with pain and not shame that we failed but at least we stopped the outlandish excessive allocation of votes borne out of our loud sanitisation of our people that President Goodluck Jonathan failed the Igbos, Chief Ralph Obioha in the Daily Sun publication of March 26, gave five reasons why Igbo should vote for Gen. Buhari. All that is now history. I urge my fellow Igbo leaders to join me to direct Igbo voters to massively vote for the APC on April 11 for the following reasons. •The Igbo nation cannot and should not jeopardise its destiny and viability on the flimsy reason of “we are PDP” and as such we shall continue to vote the PDP. It will be absurd to swim and sink with a party. The stark is that the party – PDP - did not reward Igbo adequately for the support, votes and investments the Igbo continue to make to the party. The Igbo should ask the plain question of what the party and by extension the outgoing administration did for the Southeast. •The Igbo nation cannot gamble with positioning themselves into the Nigeria political equation as things stand now. With no senator-elect on the platform of the majority party – APC – in the Senate, it is obvious that the Senate President shall elude us. The thought of this is painful but our next move can at least show that mistakes made are not repeated. •The Igbo nation must factor itself into the mainstream of today’s Nigeria and this time with new leaders who henceforth should be accountable. The accountability referred to here is to render selfless service and project the sterling qualities Igbo have earned over time namely: hard work, honesty and unflinching loyality. •The Igbo nation must reject the buccaneers foisted on us as emergency leaders whose god is money and possess no qualities of leadership and are ready to mislead the Igbo people into political suicide only to turn around and rush to the APC to seek political appointments without shame or remorse. •The Igbo nation must wear a new thinking cap and indeed think out of the box and do the obvious and the sensible by ensuring a massive and strategic movement to the APC by their votes on April 11 both as an atonement and good faith gesture to demonstrate a change of mind and attitude. I have received numerous and uncountable texts, calls and visits from concerned Igbo enquiring what we shall do now. Frankly speaking I do not know but what repeatedly strikes me is the call for Igbo to think now with their heads and do the correct political action – vote APC on Saturday. I should start with Imo State. If for nothing else, we Imonites should admire our Governor, Owelle Rochas Okorocha, for his outstanding vision to allign with the APC and Gen Buhari. Every right-thinking Imo voter should cast his/her vote for Governor Okorocha and APC on Saturday. For those holding some reservations about Governor Okorocha, this is not the time for that as the Igbo adage says: “A man should not be catching rats whilst his house is on fire”. Imo people should be proud of Governor Okorocha and vote massively for him to retain the governorship and vote in his House of Assembly members to strengthen his hand. The Imo State leaders and stakeholders will be shocked of this stand that I have adopted as many are aware that the governor and I are at daggers drawn. This my new position should help them to reconsider the entire precautious position in which the Igbos and Imonites have found themselves and that should help them reconsider their respective positions stand down their personal interests and pursue collective interest. I am calling on the former governor of Abia State, Dr. Orji Uzo Kalu to rise to the occasion and intervene in Abia State and “manufacture” a new coalition to support the APC governorship candidate to increase the Igbos participation in the new emerging leadership in Nigeria. Governor Okorcha cannot do it alone as the Igbos are wont to realise that one man cannot accomplish much. This move can be accomplished if the Igbo can immediately weigh the enormity of what awaits them in Nigeria where they have little or no representation. If there is one man who can change the Abia situation, that one man is Dr. Orji Uzo Kalu but Abia people have many “one man” just to name a few, Dr. Kalu Idika Kalu, Chief Onwuka Ukwa, the Wabaras, Senator Uche Chukwumeije, Prof. Uma Eleazu, Senator Nkechi Nworgu and Chief Victoria Akanwa. The political giants should answer the call on Igbo to rescue our people from being shut out of the Nigeria equation. After all, Dr. Ogbonnya Onu, a steadfast leader of the APC is a worthy representative of our people and his hand should be strengthened to effectively work for our people. Lagos is a major interest both to the Igbo settlers and the owners of the land. Conventional wisdom dictates that Igbo should do the bidding of their hosts who have an APC National Leader Senator Bola Tinubu, who must not be embarrassed. Besides, it is in Igbo’s core and vital interest to massively vote for the APC governorship candidate, Mr. Akinwunmi. Ambode. The Igbo, as already stated are hardworking and deeply- determined people, who want to excel in their personal and professional vocations. Politics is, to tell the truth, not in their DNA and so they can easily be misled by their “leaders”. Once they are alerted an issues, trust them to do the right thing. It must be noted that when the election of March 28 is clinically dissected, it will expose the fraud played to obtain the figures posted in the election. It is inconceivable to admit that Senator Chris Ngige will be defeated in Anambra State. The location where the manufactured result was cooked-up will one day be revealed. One mistake for the Igbo nation is enough but two mistakes will definitely spell doom. In the remaining few days, Igbo should all become canvassers for massive votes for the APC to ensure our place in the New Nigeria. I strongly believe that if the Igbos massively vote in Imo, Abia and Lagos for the APC, President-elect Muhammadu Buhari will create a situation to properly situate the Igbo. |
kuluTemper:Agbaje has only unwittingly confirmed that the APC government in Lagos State has performed creditably well even under the opposition. It logically follows that if they could perform so well whilst in opposition, the APC in Lagos would definitely performed better now that the party is controlling the centre. |
koife:Not surprised at this, our over sabi is second to none all over the world and in most cases, they are for fraudulent purposes. Now, what the law says is that the winner must not only score the highest number of votes but must also score at least 25% of the votes cast in 2/3 of the 36 states not in 2/3 of the states where his opponents won. |
dukie25:Really?, noo wonder Jonah was/is a sectional president because he lost in 12 Northern states at the last elections. |
Sanchez01:The figures are grossly inaccurate, far far below the actual. I know one individual who handled higher budget for same exercise for one of the parties during the period in review. One individual talk-less of several other ad agencies, hot shops, pseudo ad men etc that partook in the jamboree. Wonder what kind of research organisation would publish such! |
I'd rather be the son of a palm wine tapper who somehow developed himself and grew to become his own man, a man with honor than to be the son of an inglorious elite who was raised in opulence and grew up to re-enact with vigor, the inglorious-ness of his family to the consternation of his race. |
megastu:Beyond Route-Lining, whenever Mr. President is around, you will see policemen milling around some points at every half a kilometre or thereabout all over Lagos. |
Very much on point and Vuvuzuela is very apt a name for Abati whose words are always so nauseating, disturbing to the ears. To Abati, any criticism of his principal must be meted a dose of his ungodly vituperation, insults and abuses, attributes alien to a seasoned presidential spokesperson. As if he suddenly got the power to use all the ''bad'' grammar he learnt while in graduate school but that he could'nt use while practicing his ''roadside journalism''. |
BritneyStacy:Aaaghhhhhh, there you go o. This is Africa and i presume you guys are Nigerians. Forget about your education, exposure, western influence etc. There is nothing like We don't Ђåvε̲ a child yet because we decided not to hav one yet.. My sister, If you don't have a child for your man yet, you are still a freelancer o and should not be expecting some jackpot at any point in time. Don't forget that there were/are several stakeholders in the life of your husband before you came in, for him to mildly shake them off and give you any legitimate claim, you need to bear his child. It may be unfortunate to the African woman but that's the way it is> |
BritneyStacy:Well, if you have at least one child together and the paternity is not in doubt, if it's not a polygamous family, if he used his brother's name as next of kin after your marriage, then i'm afraid, your husband is DUMB. At this time and age, something fundamental must be wrong with a man, without any of the three scenarios above, who chooses his relative as next of kin rather than his wife. A real man would know that in this instance, its like dining with 2 evils - wife or relative and a man is most likely to be wiser choosing the wife because at least, the tendency of her taking care of her kids is higher than leaving the kids in the care of a relative. A relative may be appointed administrator of the last testament and nothing more. |
shegxi:The matter was being investigated and thank God for the thorough investigation, we would'nt have known it was the handi-work of APC moles in the foreign affairs ministry. You know APC has havoc-wreaking moles all over and they will not rest until Jonah retires to his village come May 29. |
izuch:The Truth, Nothing But The Truth. But what was omitted was the fact that, because whatever you sow your reap and you know when it's reaping time, you will surely get more than the one seed you sown! |
Behold, the Governor of the Fountain of Knowledge displaying as ever, his wisdom derived from the gutters of the Fountain. |
IVORY2009:Sir, what proof are you talking about and what federal government. Do you need to first take your truth to town via the mass media before it could be tenable in court? Has the Federal Government come out to say they were the sponsors of the documentary? Is it a matter of Tinubu wanting to be dealt with or a matter of bringing corrupt people to book? Let's elevate our minds a bit please! |
THe entire documentary is ''like a tale told by an id-0t, full of sound and fury signifying nothing''. If Tinubu was this bad and we have EFCC, ICPC, Code of Conduct Tribunal, the Judiciary etc and they've not been able to bring him to justice, then, President Goodluck Jonathan as the Chief Custodian of the entire body of our laws and values should bury his head in shame. Sponsors of the documentary are just being mischievous. Why waste a huge fund producing and airing the doc. when such fund could have been deployed to seek redress in at least one of the numerous alleged crimes of Tinubu. They are all birds of a feather. Second base o jare! |
midolian:On point. We all are Men of God (Male and Female) and before God, we all are equal. If by Men of God it was meant some rare Holy human beings which may still be possible these days, that would be known to God because holiness is alien to the human spirit. At best, we all can only strive towards it and rarely attain it. Now to the Child prodigy, at best, she may be clairvoyance and clairaudience and obviously, there is a huge gap between what she saw and was told to the way she comprehended and relayed them. How did she recognize Jesus, what language was spoken to her etc. If it is true, in her best interest, now is not the time to go public as her spiritual ignorance is very palpable. She would require proper nurturing either by self or by a tutor and over time the inalienable truth may be revealed to her, first and foremost, for her utmost good and then probably mankind. |
If the Chairman of a political party, a supposed biggest political party in Africa, can be this daft, then we are in greater mess than we could ever realized. |
Noviolence2015:No sir, no communication house is at liberty to air the views of those willing to pay for airspace if such views is falsehood or if such views violated the rights of another person. That is gutter journalism and it usually comes with dire consequences. |
barcanista: Who is advising President Jonathan? President Jonathan has a ''crack team'' of advisers, credible, intelligent, outstanding men and women from various fields some of which are; 1. Femi Fani-Kayode 2. Doyin Okupe 3. Reuben Abati 4. The First Lady, Patience Jonathan 5. Diezani Allison-Madueke 6. Stella Odua And a host of ''notably notorious'' individuals. A president cannot have these as advisers and not perform creditably woefully. |
cheruv:Elevate your mind beyond man made, written and propagated histories documented by man in some spiritual books. Learn to approach all spiritual books only in spirit and stop drawing analogy from histories of yore especially recorded by man who we all know will remain imperfect. My point was and still is, Only God is Divine and when he says yes, when he divined, it shall surely come to pass. If somebody's mission is truly Divine, then he must surely accomplish that mission. There is no in-between for God is God and when he says Yes, nobody, nothing whatsoever can say no. That is my point and get that straight and Clear. |
ikecheff:So sad, but the way the corpses were piled on one another in the FRSC truck speaks volume of the way we are. Even if those bodies have been ratified dead by a doctor which I doubt, they still deserved some respect. Moreover, there is a possibility that some of them are just unconscious and may still be revived at some medical facility, but with they way they were packed, chances of survival have been foreclosed and this is unfortunate. |
“Buhari has a mission divinely imposed on him, but he shall not rule this country again; even if he wins, God has not determined him to find His favour.'' What a fallacious statement from a confused mind, if he has a Divine Mission it means God already ordained his mission. God and Divinity are one and same. Its only God who is Divine. |
“Fellow Nigerians, People accuse me of many things. But one thing they never accuse me of is corruption. They never accuse me of mediocrity, or of lying. People accuse me of many things. I have led this country and I have a record. We were not perfect, but we were effective; we solved problems, and we made Nigerians proud. In our government, we fought corruption, we stabilized the Naira, and we shut down insurgency. We shouldn’t forget so soon that there was the Maitatsine ravaging the North east and we dealt with it. We also overran the Chadian rebels. We rebuilt industries, Nigerians queued up and treated each other with respect; Nigerians took pride in our reputation for discipline. The world admired us. We were proud to be Nigerians. However, because they can’t attack our record, they accuse me falsely of ethnic jingoism; they accuse me falsely of religious fundamentalism. Because they cannot attack our record, they accuse us falsely of calling for election violence – when we have only insisted on peace. Even as Head of State, we never imposed Shariah. All my running mates have been either Igbo or Yoruba and are always devout Christian of indisputable repute. I have and will continue to condemn those who burn God’s places of worship, be they churches or mosques and wish God’s judgment upon them. As your President, their punishment won’t stop there, we will also ensure Boko Haram and other such elements, are found, are arrested and face the full wrath of the law as punishment for their crimes against our country. My dear friends, this is very important to note: It doesn’t matter if you are Igbo,Yoruba, Ijaw, Hausa, Idoma, Efik, Ekwere, Urhobo, Igala and, no, it does not matter if you are Christian, Muslim, animist or atheist: we need a new direction under a new leadership. The task ahead will be challenging and daunting, but it is surmountable. This is what leadership is about. My only desire is to prove to you that Nigeria can truly work. Allow me prove to you that in your lifetime, you can be proud of this country. Let me make you this promise today: We will protect your children. We will protect your wealth. We will make this country work again. This is why I am running for the office of the president of Nigeria. This is my promise.” – Muhammadu Buhari (GCFR). |
Minutes ago, US Secretary of State John Kerry began a meeting with General Muhammadu Buhari, the All Progressives Congress, APC, presidential candidate at his residence in Ikoyi, Lagos. Members of the media are on standby waiting for a press conference to be addressed by the US Secretary of State after the closed door meeting. Culled from AquaVibes

amakachinwe3:It's good, let them collect their own share of the National Cake. Sure majority of them would vote for Change! |
