I guess those silly governors believe they can influence Igbo voters outside SE. Even within SE, they dare not move against Peter Obi because the SE/SS voters are the people who will vote and no Governor dare undermine this arrangement. Corrupt bunch of people who are looking to install their runsman Soludo. Lol.

devindevin2000:
SE people don't respect SE governors, they like Obi.

You are so on point.

benuejosh:
Not when they have APC sitting governors. PDP stands no chance. APC governors will want to deliver their states. So, expect anything. This is Nigerians Politics.

Our electoral system is improving with every elections. Osun elections despite the doomed activities of APC to rig the election results which we trust the courts to overturn, have victory to Adeleke. Adeleke, a near stark illiterate was chosen by the electorate over the so-called erudite Oyetola, doesn't that tell you something? APC and Tinubu's politics of tribalism which he uses to maintain the drain pipe to public funds of the Lagos, Osun and other SW states is coming to an end. The Osun people have spoken the mind of generality of people of that region which is the rejection of the politics which only serves the selfish interest of Jagaban.

Wilstino:
I think the calculation is that SW gets the presidency after the North. Of course SW cant have the VP now and Presidency afterwards?? Personally I think it is an advantage to the SW...

Keep deceiving yourself. SW will not smell the presidency until the SE/SS have each had their shot at the presidency. There is an unwritten rotational presidency arrangement in operation in Nigeria and you Tinubu misguided boys cannot undermine it. You can however go and vote for your Buhari after all you never supported Atiku's presidential ambition from day one.

Tambari1974:
The truth is that Igbos does not vote on the election day many of them would be in their homes and those from would be running back to the villages thereby voiding their pvcs. The man Atiku should pick a westerner.

Fake news. Igbos vote where they reside all across the country. Remove the Lagos vote from the votes for SW because Lagos is a different bucket. If you know, you know. Even when SW voted massively along ethnic lined in 2015, PDP still had over 40% of the votes. Go and get your facts right. People like you who grew up under a tutelage of tribalism are undergoing a necessary lesson in the national politics of Nigeria. The era of any region trying to propagate 'born to rule' ideology is over. NE/NC/SE/SS and a sizeable percentage of NW/SW voters will give Atiku/Obi the required electoral victory in next year's elections by the special grace of God.

benuejosh:
pick Peter Obi and loose South West.

There are plenty PDP faithfuls in SW who will vote to rescue Nigeria. Not every Yoruba person is tribalistic. Go and vote for your Mr Lifeless who is definitely losing the elections.

schoolboij:
This election is between ibos vs yoruba. Don't compare it to past elections. Propaganda and ethnic agenda will be unleashed in full force. It's not only ibos that are masters of hate speech.

Your selfish interest is beclouding your sense of rational thinking. You will rather vote an irresponsible regime that has made Nigeria the poverty capital of the world because of your selfish and parochial interest than an obviously far better Atiku who will fix the country. By the grace of God, people across the length and breadth of Nigeria will elect Atiku into office and he will fix Nigeria to the glory of God and to the shame of the devil.

masinga07:
Am from the west but honestly i would have been surprised if Atiku had pick his VP candidate from SW. He has done what is right and i can assure the Easterners that in this battle, You will never walk alone. Atiku/Obi ticket is not to redeem the east alone but Nigeria. East deserves this more than the West because if not for the SE/SS there wont be any PDP again in the first place.

Na your papa born you. Your head correct wella!

CilicMarin:



With This Combination!

Atiku Has Won The South West 100%

E pain you no be small. Take heart eh!

You are high on Odogbolu weed. 'Gerarahere'.

We don't care. Nigeria needs his wheeling dealing skills to wheel Nigeria out of the mounting foreign debts the the Lifeless one is accumulating as well as wheeling our economy out of the Lifeless one's imposed recession.

ChrisMafian:
Some people won't survive the aftermath of the 2019 elections. I hope they don't have high blood pressure after Baba is announced winner.

Stop disturbing yourself, Atiku will win and would be invited to the US by Trump with red carpet reception.

lasmile:
How Sir

Nigeria under PMB is spending v more than 3.7 billion naira per day on fuel subsidy. Who are the people importing this fuel? Why is NNPC refusing to provide information on the details of this imports? There is an endless list of questions waiting for answers.

dgee1:
You are a bush man. Look, the world has gone past this 'he is my brother' rubbish. We still do it here and that's why we will remain a shithole country.

The most sensible thing for Atiku is to pick his VP from the SW. This will destabilize APC votes and help us remove the lifeless one from aso rock.

But your 'my brother my brother' nonsense won't let reason prevail and he picks from the SE, Buhari wins and send you the Python dance you deserve.

All of a sudden, you are now interested in Atiku. You think that your brain was what they used in building carter bridge right? Please, stop deluding yourself because Atiku is not stupid enough not to know that this advice from Thief- nubu e-rats like you which is meant to goad Atiku into a suicidal decision inorder to clear the way for the Mr Lifeless will never happen. All you secret Buharists coming here to try to derail Atiku have all failed. It is going to be NE/SE combo that will challenge for the presidency in next year's election. You guys should stop this foaming in the mouth and go back to your usual Sai_barbarism.

iammo:
even a day old baby knows the region atiku is picking his VP from, no matter the empty and inconsequential threat of political boycott from a region with only 7m PVC , and track record of loosing national politics(Ibrahim tofa/Sylvester Ugoh and buhari/okadigbo). The owner of thisday newspaper Mr Nduka Obaigbena is only writing his own theory based on wishful thinking.... I wonder which northerner would vote for a southeast vice President, after been thoroughly insulted and called illetrates, zoogerians, terrorist, ewu Gambia, gworo chewing malu, or the yellow bar Muslim Fulani slave name calling. How exactly will a tribe given quit notice and ultimatum to leave north or face violence, endup wining anything as a vice president in that same north

Statistician, please provide the voting population of Ndigbo and other non yorubas in Lagos, bearing in mind that the biggest Landlords in Lagos are not yorubas which reflected in more non yorubas winning elections into state and national assembly in 2015 despite the rigging machinery of thief-nubu. Keep fooling yourself with those vague statistics. Ndigbo and non yorubas have a very strong voting presence in the SW.

CityNGR:
Not possible. If he picks Igbo he should forget any SW vote. That's a banker. And even if he gets all southeast votes...he will still be roundly defeated... Igbos don't understand Nigerian politics... I'd rather support Osinbajo even if I dislike Buhari than support an Atiku with a Igbo VP!

Meanwhile the IPOB and massob are sure to enforce no voting agenda.... PDP cannot afford such nonsense! That was how they killed GEJ's career in 2015!!

I'll even give an AOC a southwesterner like Dr Akinwunmi Adesina. If he picks Fayose we are going with Osinbajo!!

The biggest property owners in Lagos will vote for him. This same people are also the biggest property owners in the FCT and a lot of the northern states. This same people will ensure that he will match Buhari at least by 40% in Lagos. I'm sure you already know that we are talking about Ndigbo and this is so so painful for ethnic and tribalism infested minds like yours. Just live with it because that is the new reality.

Almaiga:
Trash.
How do you expect Atiku to pick his running mate from the East, when the Region has no political value? This will be suicidal.

Atiku will choose his running mate from the SE because he is smart enough to know that Ndigbo is everywhere unlike other ethnic groups that are mostly resident in their regions. This is why today, you have a lot of non yorubas representing Lagos state in both the state assembly and national assembly, and this is bound to increase as our elections become more credible. You bigoted view has no factual basis, go and think about something else to use in advancing your selfish interests.

sogodihno:
Chai! Ipob has use their bad luck to affect saraki, anyone Ipob support always fail.

I really hope they won't support Atiku. I will implore Atiku to beg this Ipob people not to support him for 2019, with their support u are assure of failure.

Please, go and watch your Mickey mouse, this discussion is for mature minds.

contigiency:
You just talking as if Atiku has won the main election. Don't be fooled by anybody. make no mistake about that because buhari will still win with a margin that is higher than what he used to win 2015 election.

Eya.

deomelo:
Is he not ipob candidate?

Abi why are you Igbos and ipobs pulling his and carrying his water bottle?

Outdated narrative. Lagosians are voting out the APC rogues this time around. Look for something better to use as propaganda because this one has expired.

ORIENTATION101:
you think finecoat comment win election

Ji ma sun

sanwolu already have 979 ,000 votes in stock plus ambode 72 000 .
agbaje can import voters from your state maybe he might get up to 300,000.
lagos apc is a formidable force.even aso rock cabals tried they fail from 1999 till Date.
lagos apc includes civil servants, market women, artisans, transport unions and students. if you think you can pdp can defeat this people. then the voters must come from another region

When you add the total number of votes from both APC and PDP in the 2015 Lagos guber elections, then you will know that 979,000 so-called votes at the APC fraudulent primary never existed. Lagosian are going to vote to free Lagos from these present rogues who just want to continue to milk the state dry. The only thing APC will continue to use in their campaign is this obsolete and outdated noise about Jimi Agbaje being an Igbo candidate, but we can assure you that four years is enough time for a baseless propaganda to expire. Lagosians will not fall for that voodoo this time around because everyone now knows that the biggest enemies of Lagos are people like you.

Bolustical:
I don't know why these perennial losers are participating in Lagos guber, as usual, they will lose.

Let 10 million Igbos vote for PDP in Lagos, they will lose as regular.

It is not about ethnicity but about freeing Lagos from the self imposed servitude to Tinubu. It is only people like you who are desperately trying to fly the ethnic kite again because you know that the game is up for your Tinubu and very soon the free largese he shares to his e-rats who come online to spew trash on his behalf would be over. Lagosian are wiser now and would not fall for that Igbo/Yoruba bulshit that you guys used the last time. Lagosian will no longer handover the treasury of Lagos state to Tinubu to do as he likes. The game is over.

NYSC: The Seven Sins of Davido and Accompanying Sanctions by Richarmond O. Natha-Alade

In recent time, there has been emphasis on the need to participate in the one year National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) scheme mandated under the enabling Act. The calls amidst the recent realities of sacks, resignations and disqualifications (among others) of political leaders who became graduates at and/or before the age of thirty but failed to participate in the scheme.

The mandatory NYSC scheme is governed by several codes and ethics, the violation of which attracts penalties, ranging from extension of service year to termination of service year and prosecution among other disciplinary actions to be determined by the designated and/or empowered officials of the Scheme.

David Adedeji Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, recently put in for the mandatory NYSC program sequel to his graduation from the University before the age of thirty. Consequently, he was mobilised to the Iyana Ipaja, Lagos Orientation Camp of the Scheme but has since taken off to do other things.

Davido is widely acknowledged and popular both home and abroad. That said, can we conclude that the George Orwell’s view about the society by his book ‘Animal farm’ is in play? Whence, he said by several allegorical syllogism: “All animals are equal but some are more equal than the other”. In other words, it seems we are all equal before the law but some are more equal than others. The question is; is Davido above all other Corps members currently participating in the program to the extent that he cannot be sanctioned, queried and/or at least cautioned if found wanting?

Davido, 26, was one of the 2,152 Batch ‘B’ Stream II corps members sworn-in at the NYSC orientation camp at Iyana Ipaja in August, 2018. Since Davido joined the Scheme, the Following are the SEVEN NYSC Rules of engagement broken by him:

1. Davido was brought into the Orientation camp a chauffeur Driven White exotic car and drove amidst fanfare among other corps members and obviously protected by security guides.

2. Davido left the Orientation camp and never participated in the activities of NYSC at the camp.
The Pop star left the orientation camp to Boston in United States ahead of his ‘Locked Up’ Concert. Afterward, he performed at the opening
day of Jay-Z’s Made in America Festival in Philadelphia, United States.

3. After leaving the orientation camp, Davido never returned.

4. Davido’s Primary Place of Assignment is unknown.


5. Davido did not report promptly to his Primary Place of Assignment or participate in activities at his secondary place of assignment.

6. Davido continues to engage in his private practice as a musician.

7. Davido fully participated in politics during the recently concluded governorship elections in Osun State.


It is noteworthy that the above listed offences attract both light and heavy penalties if some of the offences considered as reconcilable are not met with the attached condition precedents.

Davido violated the provisions of Section 3(I)(15) of the NYSC Bye-Laws (18/19), Section 3(III)(2, 3, 5 6, 7,12, 14)) of the NYSC Bye-Laws (18/19), and Section 4(9) of the NYSC Bye-Laws (18/19). For ease of reference, I hereunder reproduce the contents of the cited sections of the Bye Laws:

Section 3(I)(15) of the Bye laws provides as follows:

During the Period of orientation, every member shall not bring vehicles or motorcycles into the orientation camp.

Any member who brings vehicles or motorcycles to camp shall not be registered, and if already registered, shall be decamped
ii) Such member shall only be allowed to return to service to join the next batch in the orientation camp.


Section 3(III)(2, 3, 5 6, 7,12, 14) of the NYSC Bye-Laws (1993) Provides as follows:

During the Period of Primary Assignment, every member shall:

2. Not be late to report at duty station


Any member who reports late at duty station shall be tried by the Corps Disciplinary Committee and if found guilty, be liable to extension of service on half pay double the period he is late to station. Any member who reports late at duty station shall be tried by the Corps Disciplinary Committee and if found guilty, be liable to extension of service on half pay double the period he is late to station

3. Not fail to report to duty punctually.
Any member who reports late for duty shall be queried by his employer and the report sent to the State Coordinator for disciplinary action.

5. Not fail to carry out duties diligently

Any member who fails to carry out his duties diligently shall be queried by his employer and the report sent to the State Coordinator for disciplinary action.

6. leave his duty station or absent himself from any official activity without the written consent of the State Coordinator.
Any member who leaves his duty station or absents himself from any official activity without the permission of the State Coordinator shall be tried by the Corps Disciplinary Committee and, if found guilty, be liable to extension of service with half pay double the period of absence.

7. Not travel outside the State without written permission of the State Coordinator
Any member who travels outside the State without the written permission of the State Coordinator shall be tried by the Corps Disciplinary Committee and, if found guilty, be liable to forfeiture of allowance for the number of days absent and extension of service with half pay double the period of absence.

12. Not engage in private practice


Any member who engages in private practice shall be tried by the Corps Disciplinary Committee and, if found guilty, be liable on conviction to extension of service for a period not less than twenty one (21) days without pay.



14. Not travel outside Nigeria without the written permission of the Director-General
Any member who travels outside Nigeria without the written permission of the Director-General shall be tried by the Corps Disciplinary Committee and, if found guilty, be liable to extension of service without pay double the period of absence


Section 4(9) of the NYSC Bye-Laws (1993) Provides as follows:

Every member shall Not take part in partisan politics.


Any member who takes part in partisan politics is liable to extension of service for a period not less than three (3) months without pay.
It is clear from the above-cited provisions of the NYSC byelaws and the facts earlier relayed that Davido is in breach of the rules guiding the NYSC scheme.

Even if we were to assume that Davido obtained permission for all his engagements, the question to ask is how much permission can he take during his continuous participation in the scheme? By section 6(2) of the enabling law, Davido cannot get more than 14 days leave of absence during the entire program.

Davido similarly went overboard when he wore PDP attires and campaigned from town to town for his uncle, Senator Ademola Adeleke, despite being a corps member in active service.

Despite all the breaches, there is no record to show that Davido has been queried, sanctioned, brought before a court, suspended and/or cautioned in any way by the NYSC management. The inference to be drawn is that Davido is above the law or above all other corps members. The Lagos State NYSC coordinator and the Director General of the NYSC clearly owe Nigerians some explanations.

Gej reduced our reserves to 29billon dollar despite the oil boom in his administration.
how do you tend to escape hard times with that figure in a country of about 200million population..

Today the reserves is above 45billion.
We should give baba some accolades @least..

45billion dollars in foreign reserve and and what was the corresponding increment in foreign and domestic debt within 3 years? A man who earns 100k per month and saves the entire 100k while he borrows 200k per month only to come at the end of the year to claim that he has saved 1.4million naira. Who is such a man deceiving. Please, honestly answer that question.

Buhari will not allow this

Let's see how Malami will dish out his voodoo legal advice as usual on this one. We can't forget in a hurry the voodoo legal explanation he gave for Buhari's refusal to obey the latest court order granting Dasuki bail. We have indeed entered into the darkest part of our democratic experience under this present regime.

They are surely doing a substandard job with those red soul used for filling. The road will not last beyond being used for photographs and campaign propaganda. Julius Berger would have done a far better job if Ambode was truly serious about doing a durable road. After two rainy seasons, that road will be riddled with portholes because of the low quality work. Vested interest in Lagos state continues to undermine cost effective service delivery. If you know, you know.

NgeneUkwenu:
That will be good, Buhari will simply continue unopposed till 2030...

Buhari is spending over 3.7 billion naira a day on fuel subsidy even with petrol selling at 145 naira per litre. NNPC has refused to open their books for scrutiny because Buhari is the senior minister of petroleum overseeing the massive looting happening in NNPC. So, continue to deceive yourself.

Story for the gods

If this is the template APC and INEC intend to use for the 2019 elections, it then follows that there will be total breakdown of law and order with no respect for INEC, and the security agencies. With our porous borders, we will just have politicians set up their own fully armed militias in the run-up to the 2019 elections. The killings that took place in the last elections in rivers state would then be a child's play. Top electoral personnel and their families would then be open to unimaginable danger. Of course you know that there has lately been an increase in the killings of security personnel across the entire country. Just like the CJN has warned that Nigeria would be doomed if we decide to set aside the rule of law. If INEC and the tribunal succeeds in frustrating PDP from effectively seeking redress in court, then they would have succeeded in laying the foundation for intractable crisis in the 2019 elections. I hope people like you will not be allowed to run away to UK/US/Canada when the crisis starts.

If the above analysis makes sense to people like you, then every right thinking person must speak out against every attempt to do away with the rule of law. Buhari has increasingly shown that he does not care for the lives of Nigerians including people like you because his maladministration does not make any exceptions to PDP/APC.
