U think all Nigerians are as tribal as u are. What did d average yoruba benefit because Osibanjo was there. I love Yaradua and awolowo a lot. I'm neither a Muslim, Hausa or Yoruba.
So

If u don't know Obi kindly say so.
Sentiments aside he makes far more sense than even the current VP (usually depicting a man not in touch with reality while talking).
Have u listened to Obi or read his CV

One main reason this Govt failed was because they looked only to APC members. While they were supposed to bring everyone that has something to offer on board.

By the way who tribalism epp

After producing head of state thrice Katsina still has 75% poverty rate. So

Any one that can do the job should win jare.
If Atiku n Obi can't deliver we booth them out n choose another until we get it right)

The challenge is not only that of security and besides, that is why I talked of decentralisation and that includes security and authority over ports. The FG has not built the ports. Did you not see the more critical issue of insufficient depth which must be dredged to accommodate container-bearing vessels? The FG ought to address that too.

Talking of traditional leaders calling their wards to other, how many Emirs and Sarkins have called their 'wards' to order in view of the insecurity in the North? It is the responsibility of the Government particularly the FG to ensure security and safety of all Nigerian citizens. Responsible governments do not shirk their responsibilities and expect citizens to pick up the slack especially without the conducive environment to enhance good interaction and trust between the citizens and security agencies.

I think a lot of responders here, have missed the point. He has mentioned two things that caught my attention.

1: why the biological father of the girl is returning her to the mother because he just got married. Why should he be the one to deal with a child that two people apart from him, had out of wedlock. That's a very dicey issue here and it's selfishness on the part of the father of the child. If the girl had been with the mother all these years, it would have been a different story entirely. But returning her to the mother because he is now married, is a whole lot of something. The fact the mother-in-law is also asking for the girl to be taken away from her, is something else.

2: he also mentioned that he knows very well that if the reverse was the case, his wife would have non of it and wouldn't accept that. That tells you something is wrong somewhere. We might out of sympathy and humanity ask him to take the child in, but there are critical underlying issues that needs to be dealt with. I personally understand how single moms of this generation behave. In a relationship, everything must be about them and their child/children first, before you. Their first love and attention would be to their child before their spouse. This might affect the relationship between this man, his wife and kids pretty soon. The person who should be pressured to keep the child, is the biological father of the child. He is alive and capable and should take up the responsibility. I'm sure the wife he married has told him she doesn't want to see another woman's child in their home and the idiot is doing her bidding, forgetting he is a man and should put his foot down to say his child is staying.

I hope this sounds a warning to ladies who carelessly get pregnant for men and the men are not interested in marrying them. These are the type of things that would eventually happen in future.

But some people are of the opinion that nomadic cows are more nutritious than those raised in a ranch. Just as local chickens are more nutritious than the agric breed.
Could there be some truth in that?

I am glad you have made the decision to quit already.
Anyways, forget about all you have lost in the past, that is the NUMBER ONE thing gambling does to you, (it says, let me recover the money I have lost and I will stop) then the losing streak goes on and on.
Forget all that you have lost in the past and concentrate on the future.
Wish you all the very best.

Once more , MAKE UP YOUR MIND FINALLY AND SAY I WILL.NEVER STEP INTO ANY VIRTUAL SHOP ANYMORE.

Oga seriously speaking, this defence is myopic lameless, baseless and simply self serving.
Please stop it, I dont know your interest or what you stand to gain.

First and foremost let me take you down the memory lane a bit.
When the APC party was formed, it had the issue that their first choices of candidate will be Muslim/muslim, knowing well that if they present it to the country, Christians will not be interested in the candidacy and in the party, to clear that notion and to prove to the Christian community that their Intrest is fully represented, Osibanjo was brought forth.
May I remind you that it was not Buhari that sourced for Osibanjo but Tinubu, and as such he is representing the Christian community in the party , and the Nation at large. Buhari had to accept him, of course considering his status as a Professor Of law, as a top Pastor in RCCG which obviously has one of the largest congregation Nationwide, and which other Christian denomination has great respect, regards and understanding with the G. O. RCCG, so simply put , Osibanjo rode on the goodwill of Daddy G. O. to garner Christian votes for this APC led government, and the entire Christian community voted for them with the hope that their interest will be fully and dully represented since politics is all about interest.

This move also seemed to have rubbished the news then that their was an Islamisation agenda.

Yes Osibanjo threw himself into the job no doubts, we saw his charisma in handling the Niger delta militancy and other situations that arose then, but then it also exposed a lot of things then, first and foremost why did Osibanjo not protest when all the security chiefs are from one religion?
Also during that time he held sway, the security chiefs were not attending security meetings called by the V. P.

We also saw when the stupid policy of retiring church founders and G. Os to retire at certain age or after certain years of service, forcing the very man whose goodwill he rode on to retire as the G. O of RCCG.

Yes Buhari will very well be happy with Osibanjo because from the look of things he seems to be more of a puppet than a V. P. which V. P also seems to confirm when he said Buhari treats him like a son, prompting the media to be awash with so many photoshopped pictures of the president baby feeding the V. P.

Osibanjo being under attacks is very normal and natural because the people who believe he is representing their Intrest don't feel safe anymore, with the recent events, it is believed that Christianity in Nigeria is gradually heading for extinction and our collective freedom of worship is being abused and threatened.

Those who are calling for his resignation believe that's the only thing that will prove he is not culpable with the recent calamities being meted to the Christian community and the Nigerian populace at large. It will also help elevate his integrity and image as a pastor and as a professor of law.

On your call for a Christian Christian candidacy, the day Nigeria opts for a Christian/Christian or Muslim/muslim candidacy, know that the end of the entity called Nigeria is near, but the truth is, with the recent unfolding of events, it is fast approaching.


At the end of your write up, I saw principal partner, if you are a principal partner of an organization and you put up this king of lame, myopic, biased and self serving write up, it simple makes one to wonder where this country is heading to, and little wonder things are the way they are in this country ( no offence meant please).

Me I know Buhari really mean well for the nation if not for the likes of Saraki and co.

AreaFada2:
Maybe all wan not well already. Her public post might just be the final straw.

Before she can post such publicly, she might have been pestering her hubby privately to keep his brother at arms' length. May be he has not done that.

Women of nowadays want "me and my hubby only" stuff like oyinbo. But they forget that the growth of an average African of Kanu's era involved some collective family effort at some point. Unlike oyinbo.

Her BIL might not be a role model in behaviour regarding independence but a public outburst shames the entire Kanu family. It shows that women nowadays do not see themselves as marrying into a family. Just her hubby. That does not bold well for African values. Take it or leave it, when we had values family breakdowns were less. Elders (rich or poor) could resolve marital issues because we respected them. Now we respect only money.
Family breakdowns lead to social instability, crime/vices.

GavelSlam:
Insult him all you want he is your president and has done better than who he took over from.

Even the visually impaired are aware electricity supply has improved. The rail lines in the south west are coming on nicely.

Npower has given succour to the youth who would have been asked to queue up in a jam packed stadium for a non-existent job, that would make billionaires of the government officials behind it.

Insecurity is still a problem but it has been so for the greater part of a decade now.

The president can do better but indeed he has done well.

HeyCorleone:
This is quite sad.

But if the sub Saharan Africans have stayed in their houses, none of these would have happened.

We need to put down the monster we put in power.

GrandFinale2017:
will you shut up. Women are minorities and their opinion is like sheep to lion. A husband alone has the power of decision. Both The man and the wife's money belong to the man's control. Women are still slaves.
Thunder fire y'all feminists.
