Lagos Boy:
I got tricked to attend Bode George reception, says Obasanjo

Former President, Olusegun Obasanjo yesterday revealed that he was tricked to attend the reception ceremony recently held in honour of Bode George who regained freedom after completing a two year jail term.

Mr Obasanjo made this known in an interview with newsmen while preparing for his 74 birthday anniversary at his Hilltop Private residence in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital, scheduled to hold today (Saturday). He stressed that his attendance of the event was totally in error.

“You got it wrong again. I was not part of the celebration of Bode Goerge. He sent a passionate message to me from prison urging me to attend a family church thanksgiving and I believe that for whatever any family is giving thanks in the church or in the mosque and he invites me and I am able to go there, I will go there, whether it is for marriage, for burial, house warming or christening a child.” Mr Obasanjo said. “But when I got to the church, the atmosphere I found was more than a family affair. And I even took the opportunity to ask the state PDP Chairman that, ‘is this a PDP affair?’ And he told me it was not a PDP affair.

“Because I don’t see what PDP as a national party, as a party that is trying to form a government in Lagos State, as a party that formed government at the national level and in at least 27 states in the country, would be celebrating criminality because whatever we may say, the reason Bode went to prison should be condemned by everybody.

“And I have condemned it but he did not go to prison for political offence. If he had been sent to prison for political offence, then he comes back and all his political associates may get round him and PDP must do something noble and wholesome but in this case, PDP as a party must dissociate itself from celebrating criminality.

“When I asked the state chairman, he said ‘well, you know Area Boys, they do hijack these things.’ If it’s Area Boys, leave it to the Area Boys and not to PDP,” the party’s board of trustee chairman emphasised.

On the Federal Court judgement which pronounced Tunji Olurin as the party governorship candidate in Ogun State, Mr Obasanjo said: “Don’t forget that PDP is a family; there may be a little misunderstanding but we have to go to court for adjudication; the court adjudicates but as soon as possible, the family should come together and forge ahead.

“PDP nationally is a family; zonally is a family; state-wise it is a family; local government wise, it is a family; so the members in Ogun State should put behind them whatever might be their bone of contention.”

He said he had equally told Mr Olurin to extend his hand of fellowship to other people. “I have told him to set up a reconciliation committee. I am the Chairman of BOT of the PDP. As the Chairman of the BOT, I am supposed to be the conscience of the party. Whatever be the rift, I am supposed to find amicable settlement. I have done it in other states, why not in my state?” Mr Obasanjo explained.

@ mrbrownjay
u made me smile by saying i have demons of my own. that is pretty much what he's been saying to me. that i'm crazy for twisting everything. he works from home. spends a lot of time in his home office. he rarely leaves home, so i use to think i was lucky only to find out he does whatever he does right under my nose at home. most of the days i found he was chatting or texting, i was home. he occasionally goes to club, did that probably 3-4 times last yr. i work 3 days a week but long hrs. 

he said i was crazy for even suggesting he owns the pregnancy. he has NEVER cheated on me. i honestly do not think he has done anything physically yet, at least that is what i want to believe , i think this is more of an emotional affair, he says capital no to that as well.

i also have an ex he was and stillis  in love with me. we were good friends, he would come to me about issues with his girlfriend, the conversation always ended with him saying how much he misses me. i cut off communication with him after i got married. there was a time while in bed with my husband at about 11pm or so i received a text from him, my husband read it and said it was inappropriate to be getting texted at that time of the night from an ex, so my husband is fully aware of inappropriate behaviors. the text was a simple" how r u doing"

anyway yesterday, i sent my ex and email on fb requesting for his number, he gave it me and said he's been thinking about me and has been wanting to call, but wanted to let things be. i intend to let my husband know this sometime today.

until he honestly tells me why he lied or intentionally misled me into believing he was not communicating with his ex, why he deleted all messages, why his sim card choose to crash on val's day, there will be no peace. at this point i really don't care anymore. there nothing i hate more than being lied to and then trying to make it seem as if i'm crazy.

hahahahahahahah lol

Two can play the game, right? smh

I comment my reserve I reserve my comment

Last night I decided to find out the genesis of this thread, I must have read like 2 or 3 pages, then. . . I don’t know! . . .  but I woke up this morning at an hospital.


Doctor: Good morning Mr OAM4J, do you remember the last thing you were doing last night?

Me: ermmm ermnn, I think I was reading some stuff 

Doctor: Well Mr OAM4J, whatever you were reading were Alien codes,  Aliens are trying to program you, so you should stop reading whatever it is.

Me: but. . . but Doctor, am in love with one of the writers 

Doctor: Then am sorry. . .you are in love with an Alien

And dont make it look like i have an issue with him, am cool with many of his posts on politics section.

My advise on 'ignore button' was not about him but about you, twas cos i notice people get into you easily by complaining about the thread.

Did you see my first response to you? Anyway, since we can't get the tall gangly fella in here to do a spastic dance, FakePhysicist will have to do.

Yes I saw it, got what you were saying. Wanted to post some music, but was busy with some other things as well.

BTW, talking about region, hope you know Igloolic, NY and Peru are in the same region

I don't believe you!  I could'a sworn I saw you get into an online battle royale the other day.   

It wasn't me. 100% certain. Prove me wrong.

I kid with some people, if you dont know our history and read in btw the lines, you might think we are fighting, but then if you look closely, you'll see the sarcasm in my comment.

mukina2:
my twinnies go chase youcomot this house oh

strict rules in here

I have no intention of taking over this house, you girls can continue doing your things.

But they should only allow me to stop by once in a while (like every hour) to check on my honeybunch

lol

ignore button = dont bother replying.

I use it a lot, it's the reason why I rarely e-fight

Goldieluks:
daddy,we are hungry and you are there busy kissing mammi?
KC,where the cane?

find your way to the food section kitchen, and stop disturbing.

mukina2:
whats going on here

Dont worry honey, just some kids playing

Aburo, you need to use the ignore button on your system more, it will save you the energy you use in responding to unsolicited comments,

and those unwanted commentators will stop commenting when they know their comments will not be dignified with a reply.

what' sup aburo?

[quote author=tpiah! link=topic=612891.msg7819814#msg7819814 date=1298937913]it's common knowledge.



well, obviously she saw someone who she believed is tensor, stalking her.

I dont know if that was tensor, though from all indications it might have been, but it would help if he gave his own side of the story.

which he hasnt done.

The other option is the poster has info that tensor is off nairaland for now, and knows he wont be here to defend himself.

so, in that case, anyone who knows him, should tell him to come online.[/quote]for all we know, she could be tensor777 jealous ex.

I dont want to continue this line of debate, else we will be reactivating the thread

I just want to encourage tensor777 to come back, and he owes nobody any explanation.

[quote author=tpiah! link=topic=612891.msg7819755#msg7819755 date=1298936818]she's not the only one with that kind of experience- others just dont post theirs on nl.[/quote]how do you become privileged to such info? is it because you have similar experience?

even if many have such experience, why do you believe tensor777 is guilty of the accusation?

[quote author=tpiah! link=topic=612891.msg7819653#msg7819653 date=1298935306]no, i believe the lady was telling the truth.[/quote]why? got any evidence?

[quote author=Missy ★ B link=topic=612891.msg7819682#msg7819682 date=1298935731]Hope he comes back soon.  . . . .I find his posts interesting.

Link to the thread, somebody?  [/quote]gone to the right place. . . the thrash bin.

thank God!

but then what is this world turning to? No regard or consideration for children and infants

No smoke without fire I guess!

Balogun, where hav u been?

I really dont think there is anything to be ashamed of.  twas obvious the lady was jut being mischievous.

Hope he comes back with his real id and not allow any girl to 'chicken' him out like dat.

Is that an ice cream or a new brand of soda?

Igbo flavour ko, vanilla flavour ni

Do you wanna get banned again?

[quote author=isale_gan2 link=topic=590933.msg7812740#msg7812740 date=1298846767]Well, she is pretty feisty. But she did say she gets out all the aggression on NL and is as sweet as pie in her personal life.

If she were the pistol that she is here, don't know how a Yoruba man will deal with that. lol. [/quote]The more reason am sure it gat to be a Yoruba man. Yoruba men know how to tame their women

naijababe:
^^He be Yoruba all the way and no mind Isale jare, boya i be like oyinbo lofa for her eye  
No one would believe that about me

I know you jare. I wish she has placed a bet, I would have won some $$$$ just now.
