Working...thanks bro.

The last time I penned something political was two odd years ago when the political firmament was buzzing with presidential election activities where Buhari and Jonathan were the main contestants.
Unapologetically and to the amazement of many, I campaigned for President Buhari both online and off-line. In doing that I was taking the courage of my conviction. There was no affiliation of any sort between Buhari and meI am a Christian and he is a Muslim. I am a Southerner and he is a Northerner. He is geriatric, while I still enjoy the dynamism of youth, which he lost many decades ago and which no miracle can restore. So why them did he enjoy my preference? Many had queried.
Former President Jonathan was supposedly my brother, and by virtue of that, he should enjoy my electoral partiality. The only reason Jonathan was called my brother is that we share geopolitical space. I am from Edo and he is from Bayelsa, so we both belong to the south-south geopolitical demarcation. There was no sanguinity in our relationship. I have never met him in my life, nor he me.
But my action then was driven purely by a conviction that between the two gladiators in the political ring and knowing what I knew about Jonathan’s presidency, Buhari would be a better alternative.
If I could turn back the hand of the clock would I still put my imprimatur on Buhari in light of what I now know about his presidency? My unvarnished response would be yes. My ‘’yes response’’ is without prejudice to the chilling revelation of massive looting that took place when he, Jonathan, stood guard over our collective patrimony. So if you add this fact to the question my yes response would be even more emphatic.
Some days ago, Atiku Abubakar dumped the APC and have pitched tent with the PDP. He has thrown his hat in the political ring to challenge President Buhari in 2019 presidential election. While many have welcomed this move and hailed it as fitting and proper and a veritable framework to enthrone a new social political order, especially after Buhari’s less than inspiring presidency, many, however, elected to be contrarian and less optimistic about the move.
When you seek reason for their stand, they tell you Atiku is corrupt and a corrupt Atiku is worse than a sick Buhari. If you ask further which court convicted Atiku of corruption, they refer you to Obasanjo and Elrufai who have constituted themselves into a ‘’court of competent jurisdiction’’ and pronounced Atiku guilty of corruption.
Recall that Obasanjo’s painting of Atiku with the brush of corruption is borne out of mutual contempt they now have for each other. In Obasanjo’s biography My watch, he recounted how Atiku tried to scheme him out of the presidency after their election in 1999, when Obasanjo was the president and Atiku was his vice.
According to Obasanjo, Atiku was unaware that he, Obasanjo, had moles in Atiku’s camp who were feeding Obasanjo every scheming of Atiku’s camp to undermine Obasanjo and finally push him out of the presidency. Since then Obasanjo has hated Atiku and would covet any opportunity to denigrate Atiku. It was even reported that Obasanjo said over his dead body would Atiku rule this county.
The last time I checked Obasanjo has only one vote and I wonder how Atiku’s forfeiture of that vote could lead to a loss of an election. If it is political influence, it would be sheer naiveté on my part to not recognize it. Obasanjo does still have some political leverage but not sufficient to undermine the collective will of a people in quest of a new socio-political order.
The same collective will that enthroned Buhari in 2015, in spite of the power of incumbency Jonathan enjoyed, can be pressed into service again in favour of Atiku if Nigerians so wish. Hence I don’t see Obasanjo being the entire factor in deciding the pendulum of presidential election victory in Nigeria,
If Obasanjo had had any evidence of corruption against Atiku, the vindictive Obasanjo we know would have availed EFCC of such information and ensured Atiku had been nailed. But unfortunately, he had none. This is why no court established by the Nigeria constitution has indicted Atiku of corruption save for Obasanjo’s court in his bedroom at Ota.
Thus, those ascribing corruption to Atiku should look for data to back up their claims; otherwise, they should shut up!
Atiku may not be the best Nigerian we have to mount the presidency but he is one of the best, and besides, the logic of today’s political circumstance has singled him out as a man with broad social-political experience and guts to challenge the Monarch of Aso Rock.
So I am casting my lot with Atiku, again, not because he is my ‘’brother ‘’or because of any other primordial sentiments but because, as I see it, under the circumstance we find ourselves and considering the array of other presidential hopefuls warming up, Atiku has articulated the Nigeria dilemma and is endowed with requisite experience and broad vision to put Nigeria on rapid growth to development, which she is in dire need of
A vote for Atiku in 2019 may not be a bad one after all

Congratulations to Jude and his family. The baby is so cute. May God grant evryone with the heart desire to have a cute baby like that,amen.

I conceed that APC will not win a general election in Akwa Ibom for now, but does that justify padding of election results by PDP in the state?
why were they desperate? how do you account for the wide difference between accredited voters and supposed voters?

Op, you got it wrong. It is 2/3 of 36 states and ftc. It means the winner should score at least 25 percent in 24 states plus ftc. And from the unofficial result Buhari has met
it.

by how many years am i older than you?

op, pleasse i am interested drop you number so i call you or email me on kolinsalen@gmail.com

What the op also fails to realise is that when we post on social media we hardly take time do proper editing before hitting the send button. That is y some posts have one or two errors in them. It is usually not lack of knowledge. I have the conviction that the poor girl knows that a third person singular noun in the present calls for a singular verb. In the sentence following the offending one, she used it properly twice.
so its am editing mistake and not mistake of the mind

Op, you that think ýou understand English language, let me expose the mistake in ur sentence. First let me reproduce it here:
"Stop trying to get in our faces, you are not intelligent enough to impress us". This sentence sufferers from what its referred to as run on sentence in english.this is when you join 2 independent clauses together without a conjunction. In other words, your sentence is not properly punctuated.
It should read:
Stop trying to get in our faces, for you are not intelligent enough to impress us. Or Stop trying to get in our faces; you are not intelligent enough to impress us. Or turn the one sentence in to 2 with each having an end stop.
Stop trying to get in our faces.you are not intelligent enough to impress us.
Can u see that u are not qualified to point your ignorant hand at anybody?

thank you very much, bruv

Believe me; this drama taking place at the national assembly is orchestrated by the presidency. No arm of the security will have the boldness to look a speaker in the face let alone tear gas him without presidency support and approval. Take note, the speakership is an office recognized by law and should not be desecrated. Whatever may have been the putative offence of the speaker, he deserves respect. If you have anything against him, go to court.
Though I voted Jonathan in 20111, I have started mobilizing people in my sphere of influence to ensure he is not re-elected. We need a more urbane, cultivated and civilized president. A president that will unleash attack dogs on another arm of government is not fit for leadership

belive me i have a different experience ooo. i subcribed for the 4GB for 1,500 and i am not double billed. my internet meter and data usage on my phone records i have used about 67 MB and when i checked my data balance it was showing i have used 92MB. this is certaily not double billing.

ongrats, TY. A point of contact for my own twin babies.

you made my day. god bless you!

believe me, it is still possible to make 2.1. i was in similar situation some years ago, when i was in the university. with hard work, determination and siglemindedness of purpose, you can still make it. somebody has worked out the arethmetic. Just keep your eyes on the ball and cut down on socials for now. itell you , you will come back with a testimony. i wish you all the best

If u knew gov Rochas personally u wouldrealise that he is not forming humility. He is a man that is close to the down trodden. Come to think of it what big deal has he done that pple think a gov should not do? Ideally he is a servant of the pple. Its vy the graxe of the pple that he is where he is now. He is being himself. Pls stop condemning him.

Tell me, what has Amechi done that is attracting so much mis-talk? Is there anything wrong in touring local govt areas in ones state?
Just last week or there about the president wife visited the same state and endorsed wike for governor. Where were all these anti Amechi species? This is why mis-governance will continue to run amok in Nigeria because those who should speak against evil and raise a banner in support of propriety will allowed themselves to be blinded by some primordial sentiments. pls get a life!

Pls what is the different between this tab and others like apple etc. I haven't used a tab before
