Nuhu is far better than Jonathan
He is a good man
He will get more votes than (Joe the clueless)

GEJ is slow but definitely smart.Dont doubt that,

Ahahahahhahahahah


This can only be published in saharareporters.
Tinubu survived more intensed character assasination during OBJ days but still soared above the rest.
Tinubu and Ribadu's detractors will need to do more research and come out with more daunting/convincing write-ups.
Tinubu is a human being and as someone born of flesh and blood will definitely make mistakes.
Mistakes made in the uphill task of building a better society.
But he has undoubtedly inspired a new generation of young and progressive politicians/technocrats,groomed them to take active role in the our quest for a successful nation.He is the only politician in Nigeria who recruited young and well educated minds(irrespective of their state of origin)as advisers,commissioners,and head of govt parastatals.The result is the massive development we've witnessed in Lagos state since 1999.

Hate him for all you want.But you can never doubt his progressive intuition,political dexterity and de-tribalised perception in a nation of political mediocres and ritualists/assasins.

finally,,fashola don see wetin he no see before. the mako guy is the most heartless human being on earth, almost turned lagos state into a no outdoor ad state. now that he is fired we hope for a bright future for the outdoor ad industry. in any position we find ourselves we should be humble, cos whether we like it or not we will have to leave. good bye to the tyrant. fashola well done, we actually tot it was a means of ''eating'' lagos state money. im voting for u jare.
now we outdoor ad practitioners in lagos state can breath a sigh of relief.

Appointing Tunji Bello as the new helmsman is the greatest news because of his solid reputation and unstained character.
He'll transform LASAA in a record time.

Wily+Wily:
Fashola sacked a Thief and replaced him with a Thief, haahaaa Yoruba people dey make me laugh.
Yorubas are Thief, the only way to stop their Fraudulent lifestyle is only through Genetic modification.
Yoruba man is a Fraud and Fraud is Yoruba, they are inseparable.

If your father and his generation were so smart,they wont have lined up behind the greatest fool and betrayer of all time.
Nothing is good enough for your ilk, No wonder your region is the worst in Africa just before Somalia.

Soludo is one of the greatest thieves that country ever produced.
The mess he created with his fake recapitalization(which he anyway used to enrich himself) is being cleared by Sanusi.
It is very obvious how a Uni lecturer who can't finish his village home in a decade suddenly became Multi-bilionaire after being appointed by OBJ as Economic Adviser and later CBN Governor.

@ Becomrich;

You finally made sense to me with your maps.I also have a masters degree in Cartography and Remote Sensing and as such do a lot of mapping and simulations.
The officers were strategically posted and GEJ will be in a better position to know more.But one thing is certain:GEJ is very clever.Stept by step, he is doing away with injustice of the past replacing them with norms good for today and acceptable in future.

estinjohn:
I don’t know why you people will never see any good in Akala.

Many of you who are crucifying Akala are ignorant of his great achievements in Ibadan. Most of you have never been to Ibadan yet you base your judgement on what you see on the internet and newspapers. I don’t know why the press disgust this man
Go you Oyo state today the testimony of Akala’s achievements abound. Good Roads,traffic control system, health care, agriculture etc.
What else do you want

All I know is that the people of Oyo state know what they want and what is good for them. Alaka will definitely come in for another term.
You people are just sentimental based on the Adedoja ‘s impeachment saga . There is no justification for you bad opinion of the man Alao Akala. If you can take time and evaluate this man, s performance and stop being bias, you will see that Alao Akala has done more good than so many governors in the south west.

Leave Akala alone. He is a man of destiny ,

Ah Ah Ah ,  Cheeeeeeew, ::: Ko ni Daa Fun e and your family(Home and abroad)for that comment.The same Ibadan that went from the seat of Western Parliament and the most Progressive and result-oriented legislature in the region and country at large to it's current thug-ridden,regressive and totally unvisionary state.
Can anyone name one- Just one achievement To Akala's name in his almost 5 year tenure?

Oyo indigenes are very passionate about who rule them and they are very desirous of a progressive and articulate governor in the moold of Fashola as a governor.It is that dire need that no single democratic governor has ruled the rusty state for 2 consecutive terms.Bola Ige was one of the best to rule that state bit he like others before and after him couldn't secure a 2nd term ticket.

2011is a date wiith destiny in Oyo state and the likes of Akala and their Amala politics has No more place in that state politics.
A young,progressive and artculate technocrat will be voted in as governor of Oyo state come 2011.

It'd about time.

Among the PreSent aspirants Ribadu has my vote.
He is the youngest,energetic and and definitely a progressive.

Cuz most commenst tend to suggest that Igbos are supporting IBB because he promised them Presidency come 2015.
Supporting someone like IBB because of such fluke is just stupid.

Akin-Egba:
^^^^^
June 12 is dead[sub][/sub]alive. Even amongst us Yoruba, IBB has followers. You just wait until election day, although I prefer Jonathan to win.

In your dreams

It is however the height of mediocrity and self-degradation for a whole Tribe to be expected to be handed over  Presidency by proxy.

Ibos need to wake up from their slumber and realise that whatever they need will have to be fought for.
The ingratious OBJ got the Presidency because of the June 12 warriors.SW didnt rest on its hoarse and expected to be handed over presidency.
Igbos can play the marginalisation,war and tribal card anytime but they will never get anything they dont fight for.
And lying,betraying and distorting facts against the Yorubas,NDeltans etc is a big step in opposite direction,
The last 50 years was without Igbos (real)Presidency.The next 50 may go that way too if Igbo are not united

PERIOD

High_Chief:
My brother until we address the fundamental problem that facilitate against that cause, trust me we will not make any headyway cos any effort put towards that will be sabotaged. It might be hard 4u to accept but thats true, Westerners revolted after the anullment of June 12 and the Notherners knw that there will be no peace except a Yoruba man is installed as the president hence OBJ was picked and sworn into the presidency. You can believe this or not, but we have so many Igbos fighting against the Igbos. . , Also June 12 died the moment OBJ became president

June 12 is IBB's major obstacle till today.He thought influencing OBJ to win the 1999 elections will calm SW but he got it all wrong.
OBJ himself knew the June 12 movement can frustrate his administration and it was evident in the 1999 and 2003 elections where OBJ lost in his ward.
IBB will be denied Presidency because of June 12.

Make no mistake.June 12 is not about Abiola-- it is about about our collective ideology as a nation.
That election produced the best of Nigeria amongst :a Yoruba Senator in far away North,An Hausa lawmaker in Yorubaland etc

MaziUche0:
Yoruba [s][/s]are house boys of the Hausa.

I thought Hausas are mai-guards and water hawkers,

afam4eva:
Tew much bullshit, Ignorance is not divine. So what if Lagos is yorubaland does that mean the economy is controlled by Yorubas?

Lagos economy is fully controlled by the Yorubas.
The few Igbos selling pure-water,spare parts,tyres, and Okrika contribute minimal to the economy of lagos but a lot to the economy of SE.

This was evident between 2006-8 when LADIPO mKT; was closed for 4 months.There was an immediate increase in crim e in the entire Seastern states forcing 4 SE governors to take the next flight to lagos .

It tells me one thing that the entire SE relies on lagos to feed.

PERIOD

All we know is that Tinubu was not convicted of any crime either in Nigeria or U.S.

Dede1:
This is ridiculously funny. Even with the armor shield tribalism especially in the case of VC position of Unilag[color=#990000][/color], Ndigbo and easterners had more than fair share of the political patronages.

Can you please expantiate on the bolded.I graduated from UNILAG and seriously need to know what actually went down wi the appointment of the VC

@ Katsumoto

May God bless your knowledge.
I couldn't have explain better.
Col ademoyega's"Why we struck" and Col Nzefile's account. Of the story clearly supports all you wrote,
Besides T.Y. Danjuma's account also explained the promise he gave Fajuyi that nothing will happen to Ironsi.
Fajuyi was killed because he lectured at the officers training course in Ibadan and the last set of his students were the coupist.
That automatically implicates him in the coup.
Col Nzefile's account is more explanatory as he claimed to have recieved Gowon's call at the state house corridor.

Ilorin is bring sold to the North by the Sarakis.
Most Kwara inhabitants are Yorubas with little mixed Fulanis.
Except for geogrpahic location,I see no reason why Kwara should be called
North.It has more with SW than with North.

The President is the Chief Law Enforcement Officer of the Country and As such should mitigate in such
serious political turmoil Happening in Ogun and Oyo States.Both States remain ungovernable due to
the different political Gladiators in the State.
State of Emergency is the right thing to do.
GEJ should be more decisive.

Beaf:
These are the people I pity the most in such an overtly sectional meeting;

Chief Raymond Dokpesi
Mr Chris Mammah
Senator Ben Obi

they are thieves that benefited from IBB's loot.

GEJ has all the ACE and He will definitely use it.

Let the gain begin.

The man did the right Thing by leaving the Govt.
Nigeria is in this mess because our Leaders detest the Truth and Clinch too much to Personal interest.

I remember how emotional it was wAtching this Video.
Ojukwu should have been castrated for instigating the senseless war.

Awo is a great man who did his best for Western Nigeria and the entire entity called Nigeria.Suffice to say that the entire civil war budget was funded on cocoa and rubber procceeds because the oil in the East was at the time un-accessible.

Aigbofa and T9ksy have both done great job in enlightening uninformed minds about events pre and post the civil war as it relates to Awolowo's ingenuity.
The onus is on anybody to use confirmable facts to prove otherwise.

Igbos animosity to the Yorubas dates back to the 1920s  and Zki didnt help matters by using Pilot to spread embers of tribal propaganda.
Ndigbo should be greatful for Yorubas tolerance otherwise tribal rift popular in North will definitely be a monumental disaster when allowed in West.

komando.:
"Starvation is a legitimate weapon of war, and we have every intention of using it against the rebels, " Was it Gowon? No. Who made it?

Cornelius "Scorpion" Adebayo on his plan for the war also said "When we get close to Biafra border,we will shoot everything moving.If we advance into the Biafra territorry,we will shoot everything in sight-both moving and non-moving"

Olaolufred:
Dede1,

I am always baffled at your hide and seek game.

Bumps online and hide offline in two minutes.

If an outsider once betray you, must your immediate family continue to betray you in resonance?

Remember, that If you agree together, you will be stronger than be always in diversity.

Said my own. But that is the truth that applies anytime anyday.

Which outsider betrayed Ndigbo.?

Ndigbo was betrayed by their own Son, and Nobody else,

Becomrich0:
beaf , keep quiet, I would win against Jonathan because ethnics factor. Ethnicity plays the biggest role in nigeria politics. It is the first thing in the mind of nigerian. people are more comfortable with thier ethnics group. Jonathan have not been very calculative ethnics wise. Like the appointment of military chief. I would never do that, Never. If Obama have pick a black as vice president, do you think, he would win. NO. so he pick a white man. so obama was smart. In picking the Judge of supreme , do you know who he pick. He would love to pick a black person. critical thinking is important in politics.
I know ethnicity favour me. so I am telling you.

Really?

The fact is that GEJ is the man to beat right now.The Presidency is his to loose.
IBB's camp is already in tatters to the surprise of people like Alex Akinyele who was surprised at the
absence of IBB beneficiaries.
GEJ will win the primaries and the general election.
