If a civil war breaks out after elections, blame Jonah.

I cannot believe this. A government incapable of fighting Boko haram is now using Boko haram to cast fears into Nigerians. PDP has gone too far. Watch the vid here:

Ayedee's first shot was an answer to the question on impact of social media.
His response? Lets thank Jonathan for the number of Nigerians on social media.
Kayode's response? Let us thank Nigerians that fought the cabals. People like Beko Ransom Kuti, and freedom fighters.

Therein lies the difference between the two of them. Kayode knows where Nigeria is coming from. Will GEJ be where he is if June 12 agitators didnt pressure the military? The Save Nigeria group nko?

I can see that the TAN team from Maiduguri is back. I can spot their green flags. Those guys must have made enough thousands to spend for few weeks.

I am not surprised by the many comments thinking Ayedee 'won' the debate. It is now confirmed that most Nigerian youths are not analytical. I will like someone to point to any minute in the whole video where ayedee actually made any point, or won any point. He was very cosmetic, smiling rather sheepishly most times, and always on the defensive.
He is also very cunny, dodging serious issues, misquoting Kayode just to try and put his point across. I am not surprised it it PDP apologists who think ayedee is making any sense. Its a case of a drowning man holding on to anything.

Talking about the alleged nomination of Buhari to represent Boko Haram is a disgrace to PDP.
Someone scammed GEJ and the FG as having contacts with BH. This same person has been foo.ling GEJ up to the point of national disgrace. Knowing how gullible GEJ is, the lady named Buhari as BH negotiator so as to appease to GEJ's narrow-minded thought process. At the end of the day, she was found to be fake after curious generals asked for a video taped Shekau making those demands.
For PDP to now make this disgraceful incidence as a campaign tool is really stu.pid.

This topic has turned to a case of arguing with a rigidified mummy. See the list of publications dating way back to early 80s. PhD is a formality for someone with so much publications.
In a typical top 100 uni, PhDs have like 10 publication, 40 publications will get you associate professorship, 80 publications, and you're a full prof.
Now looking at Osinbajo's publications, is it still sensible to question his professorship?

customized13:

PHd is a prerequisite for professorship if you didn't make an extraordinary effort to get it, like a sound publication which will erupt the interest of various intellects globally, the work need to be to very excellent.

Now tell us the extraordinary effort that prompted the PHd of prof osinbajo.

if you open your mind, you will learn.
Let me give you an instance of where I have worked with people with no PhD, but very quality publications. Research institutes like IITA, NISER, NIHORT, etc are places where research works can be carried out, leading to many publications. So if a man is employed in IITA and works there for 5 years, publishes in many reputable journals, then decides to join academia. If armed with over 30 publications, it will only take him few years to become a professor (no need for PhD).

Francis5:
Please, other than Yemi, mention one Nigerian professor without a PhD, apart from Chinua Achebe and Wole Soyinka, who we know why they were made professors.

Are you saying that Yemi is the greatest legal mind in Nigeria to warrant awarding him a professorship without a PhD?

You are not ready to learn my friend. Politics has blinded you from proper reasoning. I just told you the basis for being called a professor. You also gave the names of people who became professors based on their published works.
You need to pipe down in your dirt digging because its starting to make you come across as an ill-informed person.

A professor is 'awarded' based on the number and quality of publications. You do not need to have a PhD to become a professor. What you should ask is the quantity and quality of his published works.
A person with masters can become a professor if he or she publishes well researched papers.

FFK: Soludo is deluded
Fayemi: Thank you for the criticism, but...

Therein lies the difference between APC and PDP.

If you live in Ibadan, you will know that GEJ is bad market for Accord.

So who is the target of this video? The educated SW or the doubting SS and SE? Or even the North?

Just watched the video. Nothing new, same lies on NL put in a video. Very shameful video. I am ashamed of this level of politiking.
I am also very happy that with every second that passes, PDP exposes itself.
The target of this video is the educated, but you cannot sell propaganda to an educated man. In the age of google, such video is a failure.

chukwudi44:
the fact is that more than half of sw's votesrs are in Lagos which happens to be avery cosmopolitan city with huge non-yoruba populations.

like 49.9% Igbo in Lagos.
Anyways this writer does not know whats on ground in Oyo state. Alaafin cannot help Jonathan. 30% is a reasonable score for GEJ in Oyo state.

Why cant we just take the fight to them? Why wait to guard Konduga and Maiduguri? Roll the bloody T72s down to Sambisa and wipe them out. If we lose 400 soldiers in that battle, then it is better than losing 40 soldiers everytime we repel BH.

I dont know about percentages, but I am almost absolutely sure that GEJ will lose every SW state. This morning on 'tifun-tedo', a popular newspaper program in Oyo State, Jonathan was an object of denial between Accord and APC. APC accused Accord (Ladoja) of collecting 1.2 Billion from GEJ for support in 2015 elections. Ordinarily, this was expected.
However, Accord party was very clear in denouncing GEJ. Even the way the newscasters reported it, it was as if GEJ was a leper.
I dont know how Buhari gained so much momentum, but he certainly is the frontrunner now. However, 18 days is a long time in politics.
I think Buhari should avoid the debates and just focus on winning more votes.

Aksonman:
The 'symmetry' of colour (as you put it) shows a crowd filled with people of class & taste, NOT Almajiris and illegal immigrants like Buhari's.

The ones who are jail bound from the 29th of May. Kirikiri's incoming inmates.

The symmetry in colour in the crowd can only mean one thing. PDP members and paid goons. Compare this to the surging crowds in Kano, Jigawa, Osun and even Ekiti states.

Peugeot cars were very very expensive in 1985. Goodluck Joonathaan was right.

Kerry's tone today was more pro-Buhari and indifferent to GEJ. Kerry was very particular about holding the election on 14th and that it should not be moved by one day (thus reechoing APC's stand). I think the world is warming to hurricane Buhari.

lol. Soyinka had denied, Shagari has denied, Kuti has denied. Now it is Gani Adams you're impersonating. 19 days more...we will bear with you.

lol. A Muslim indeed. PDP is just getting more foolish with their desperation.

Aregbesola: 'whether there's war or not, whether it comes from the front or from behind, I'm always ready'. Fayose is a nobody.

lol GEJ visited Ekiti and used a venue that takes 5000 people, yet the place was not full.
GMB in Ekiti 20,000 capacity stadium filled to brim. Even I am impressed!

Aregbesola! So proud of my state governor. Who born Fayose where Aregbesola dey??

HzRF:
Shame on you too

Oo U tot all the propagandas u keep cooking against GEJ doesn't get pass this country

U ridicule him instead of giving him good advice
U tot the world outside don't know

Now u are blaming pdp for what you started

Do unto others what you want them to do to you

In nikita's voice "revenge is sweet when it is double"

Are you not the one I was correcting on how to compose a letter? You should try to develop yourself first before looking into Buhari.

This is getting ridiculous. We cannot set our home well,yet still go outside to disgrace ourselves. What are the courts in Nigeria for? It has gotten so much that Cambridge had to put this on their website. Shame on PDP who's working so hard to make something out of nothing.

Good move? NOT
As rewarding as it is, England is not so good technically for women football. The move may do more harm than good to her techniques. A country like Sweden, Denmark or even Germany would have been very good for her. Also how did she get work permit?

IbnSultaan:
Very Bad idea. For our foreign policy

our foreign policy died with the Palestinian votes.

My opinion is that the 3 of them are almost always not prepared. Ideally, they should have a producer who would be helping them behind the camera. Chamberlain especially is one heady guy. He doesnt know much, but still wants to lead the talk. Most times, he holds a copy of the constitution and tries to read from it, without comprehending what he's reading out.
I believe a Suleiman is very cool headed, sensible and hardly asks questions without reason. Maupe too is now learning to back off on areas she's not informed.
Chamberlain is more suited for flimsy talk shows, where facts are not relevant. He is very good at that. I am not privy to their works outside the studio, but it seems to me that Suleiman is the most hardworking of the lot, or maybe just the most reserved.
