There's something called Annual Leave which employed individuals are conversant with, but I dont expect ignorant and hopelessly unemployed and unemployable NFAs to know what it means.

Bye.

No people cry about this presidency thing than Yoruba. They can't just stand seeing presidency and Igbo(SE) in the same sentence, the most painful side of it is that Igbos are mute, talk when necessary and have refused them something to gossip with.

not all Yoruba. just southwest APC. .
South west PDP don't have problem with Igbo presidency or wareva,so always get ur fact right dude

dem no gate something like did go front page oo

SIRTee15:
See tinubu supporters...bunch of touts n vagabonds.
These are the thugs used to disrupt the last EndSARS...
real Yoruba youths prostate for elders, this one attracting curse into his life...provided it was ever meaningful.
Let me tell u something...continue carrying guns for politicians, U will die for nothing n your life will be reported on the news as just a number.

its hilarious.. they deliriously think they can speak for all Yoruba people in a region that is actually not a one party region..
they will claim omoluabi then proceed to abuse any Yoruba person that does not support what they support..

phineas:
1.you are definitely a liar
2.an ungrateful somebody
3.definately a paid propagandist.ur supporting alliance of LAGOS with Benin republic gives that away
4.You need to reconsider your ways

My response to you

Tinunbu brought strategic leadership to Lagos.That means long term planning that is abided to by successive leadership.Thats a man with a vision

He helped Lagos survive without FG allocation witheld by your darling obasanjo for years.Thats the only State to ever do so

Increased the income earning powers of the State to be able to survive without federal revenue.a non oil producing State for that matter.it was not magic its management

With its population Lagos is way safer than many cities in south Africa and other parts of Nigeria.Security in that sprawling city is because someone somewhere somehow is keeping local boys in check.If you grew up in Lagos when they shared letters ahead to residents to prepare to be robbed you will understand

Lagos has the best indices on everything in Nigeria.Health,employment,infrastructure just name it

That's what leadership is.Lagos pays its staff without delay.Lagos creates jobs and employs people .But somehow you have succeeded in blamming a progressive state with 20 year development plans that minds its bussiness for the woes of Nigeria.And you suggest partnership with Benin republic as the future

You are definitely an omo ale

For the record Tinunbu has not been Governor in Lagos for over 12 years.Its his bussiness what he does with his spare time.That includes running for presidency,supporting the FG or whatever

Tinunbu or the rich are not responsible for employing the youth.What I do with my hard earned money when I finally become rich is my prerogative and its my bussiness.My money not your right

The Goverment has mannnnnnny programs hat give funds to the youths.from n power.to covid funds.to Agmeis serious youths shoukd find our to get that capital and get wealth.But to blame some people for your lack of progress in life...

Start with your Father.Then his brothers and the rest of your mothers family.Then your village the chief and the village people.Then your Local chairman Your Governor and your senators. Dont forget your late ancestors that did not pave way for you in life and in death or give you imagination or the ability to trust God.Before you mention Tinunbu or the rich.You understand?

you know what is funny is how u pro tinubu Yoruba always claim omoluabi but always abuse and curse any Yoruba who is not pro your party or pro your godfather..
it's frankly hilarious..
u had to call another Yoruba man omo ale. just because of a politician..
lol..orisirisi lorii nairaland

ThatFairGuy1:
Hausa are not our aggressors or enemy, Igbos are.

They keep fighting our brain and telling us they love us.
Hausas never destroy Yorubaland like you people did recently in Lagos, Nnamdi Kanu's Audio is everywhere.

We despise you people

I don't despise Igbo people oo,pls talk 4 urself Abeg.

I agree with him on this but he still a PDP hustler that spread fake news online

and u are APC paid online miscreants

PDPdestroyer:
I don't have a problem with the Igbo obsession for Tinubu, they're naturally cursed to hate whatever they can't have. My problem is that there are too many politically naive Yorubas who don't know their left from their right and can't read nor analyse Nigeria's political landscape to know when to put liberalism to one side to have a common front, and are willing accomplices to see to the downfall of this man.
The number of Igbos that I saw pushing all kinds of propaganda about this man the last few days on their WhatsApp status while all turning a blind eye to the Awkuzu revelations and the bad governance in their homestate, made me see the need to sensitize and awaken the gullible ones among us about the agenda being pushed to see the end of this man. Implore all true sons of Oodua here not to relent, their evil wishes is dead on arrival!!!

PDP hater wanna sensitive gullible Yoruba in a region millions are PDP supporter and APC is even worse
goodluck tinubu online miscreant

I wish u also use this energy for thousands of pensioners and civil servants across SW who are being denied their own sweats...
oh...they don't matter but if its tinubu matter,u be ranting like idot..telling Yoruba to ronuu..
ko ni da fun gbogbo yin..ofooo ni gbogbo yin masee ti family ti family...
majority of tinubu haters are yorubas, mingle with average Sw person and mention tinubu,if he will not cut off your head...
we are where we are in SW due to the stupidd empty heads tinubu imposed as governors and this oloshi amukumeko be saying shi on nl

Lagoon0:
Agreed but you can't offend your people and expect peace in the first place. Evil was paid with evil.
Okran of badagry was never attacked and the onibeju of ibeju lekki was not attack despite local government set on fire.

The akiolu is evil truth be told. Kosoko family are saying that since its Norma to condemn

onibeju is dead though

thebosstrevor1:
One thing i dont understand

Some people think you can create change in Nigeria in one seconds, Nigeria is a big and complex country with different tribes and culture that is ruled by state to local level, we also have monarchy systems.

Even if you succeed in doing a revolution, the killings that will happen will go through tribal lines and it will be disastrous

this is what this protest organizers do not know.

They attempted a revolution that back fired and didnt bring any change but disaster.

I dislike idealists, they dont understand anything about politics other than the text book knowledge of politics which they think can be applied in real life.

didinrin
Fulani people reason uspide down though

UNIOSUN is not on strike.

helinues:
We have so many educated illiterates in Nigeria.

Too bad too poor

oloshi,u are number 1

IDENNAA:
Just because LegendHero had access to education doesn't mean he isn't ddumber than a goat. He is simply an Igbo hating tribalist, nothing more.

that oladeji245 has always exposed him.

EsomahJD:
And yoruba Muslims were trying to spin the whole story into a propaganda.

Nigeria Christians are in deep mess with these people that can easily be used as willing tools.

you are an idiott,there is nothing like Yoruba Muslim.. just "tinubu online miscreants"

log in to say this..
kudos to that Oladeji245..that guy really exposed legendhero and his fake "pro Yoruba " shii
for a guy that seem so educated,shame on legend hero and people like him.

@the bolded, I will never agree to such. We all know the numbers of zombie in your BMC whatsapp group & your imaginary random winner will definitely be these people. I'm not that foolish to agree to such because that's same format used by your party APC to select people they are giving palliative measure to. I expect you to pick the first 1-20 to drop their account number in form of first come first serve


Must you call sarrki to bail you out?

Anyway, you are doing 100k so lemme double it making 200k

Before I take you serious, we've seen like 2 people dropping account so when it reaches 20people we pause

Credit these 20people & post evidence here then I credit 40 people with 5k each. These 40 people will be on first come first serve

Deal?

seunmsg:
This is a piece I have written very reluctantly. It took me three full days to decide to write it, as I was between and betwixt on it. Should I, or should I not? If I do, wouldn’t I be exacting vengeance for myself, when the one I serve has told me: “Vengeance is mine, I will repay.” And because of that conviction, I very, very rarely do rejoinders, no matter the virulence of the language deployed against me. I often leave matters to the one who recompenses, and who will judge every wicked or hateful word on that Final Day.
But I decided to write, out of the permissive will of God. The Yoruba people say if you don’t call a wicked man by his name, he will think he’s among those remaking the world, and turning it to an Eldorado.
Again, I also wrote because the people viciously attacked along with me are innocent souls. My principal, President Muhammadu Buhari, and the women who love him, whom I wrote about on this platform last Friday. They were quietly minding their businesses when I wrote on them, and if someone then savages them unduly, I am morally bound to rise in defense, particularly when the attacker operated out of a malicious mind, perhaps because his request was not gratified.

My piece last week was titled Women Who Love PMB, and it was a focus on the committed women who support and defend the Nigerian President on Facebook. The article received wide comments and remarks, both positive and negative. But the positive far outweighed the negative.
However, the comments were not principally what I wanted. I just was out to celebrate those women, who have the courage of conviction to stand by a man they believed in, through thick and thin. Like I said in the concluding part of the write up, it was not that those women did not see the shortcomings of the Buhari Administration, for every government has its own weak points. But rather, they decided to dwell on the strengths, knowing that it would ultimately redound to the good of our country. Bravo, dear women.
But on Monday, one wicked soul who goes by the name Bayo Oluwasanmi came after the President, myself, and those faithful women on Sahara Reporters. He wrote an article under the headline, Women Who Love PMB as Darling Tyrant. He opened the foul cesspit, which his diseased mind is, and employed words from the pit of hell to savage everyone. As stated earlier, my own, I would have overlooked, as I most often do. But for PMB and those women, this rebuttal and clarification became imperative.

Bayo Oluwasanmi postures as a writer and columnist, who loves Nigeria. Very regularly, he takes an axe to public office holders, cutting them down, as if the only thing that defines column writing is the deployment of foul language. Well, some small minds hold that misbelief.

So, on Monday, there was no evil word he didn’t use against us. He even wishes me Luciferous thoughts post-office. Well, that is one of the prices you pay when you leave your quiet abode to serve your country. Everything is thrown at you, including the kitchen sink.
But let me tell you about Bayo Oluwasanmi, and you can then make up your minds whether he’s a true commentator on national affairs, or just another self-seeking scoundrel, a wastrel, a boy screaming loud enough to bring the roof down, because you denied him a lollipop.

My first encounter with Oluwasanmi was in this wise: On November 12, 2014, by 12.54 p.m, an electronic mail popped in for me. It was from one byolu@aol.com, and the subject was ‘Columnist.’
By the above stated date, I was Managing Director/Editor-in-Chief of The Sun Newspapers, a job I was quietly doing and making my modest contribution to the media landscape in the country, before I was called to serve in government.
Oluwasanmi introduced himself as a journalist with first degree in Journalism and graduate degree in Public Opinion and Propaganda, both from Temple University, Philadelphia, USA.
He mentioned the friend who gave him my email, and said he was a syndicated Columnist for 16 Internet portals, including Sahara Reporters. Could he have a column in The Sun, which he said I was running quite well? He included five sample articles.
I read the articles. Two were on the arms procurement saga involving the private jet of a Christian preacher, who was a core supporter of the Goodluck Jonathan government. The remaining were a trilogy on My Next President of Nigeria.
In one of the articles, Oluwasanmi appraised President Jonathan, and Major General Muhammadu Buhari, who was candidate of the main opposition party then. He concluded thus: “So far, the two aspirants who are running in 2015 for the presidency, in my opinion, do not qualify of my next president for Nigeria.”
This one is not a Buharist, I told myself. But it didn’t matter. A newspaper is a marketplace of ideas. Wasn’t my Publisher then a top member of the ruling party, PDP, but he didn’t stop me from writing to support Buhari. All he wanted from me then was a fair, balanced newspaper, which I struggled keenly to produce, giving a voice to all sides.
In the final part of his articles, the aspiring columnist picked his preferred President and Vice President. Mrs Oby Ezekwesili, and Dr Joe Okei-Odumakin. I laughed and raised my two legs up. Was Nigeria ready for a female President at that time, with a female deputy, and with both of them coming from one part of the country? Ezekwesili, South-east. Joe Obiajulu Okei-Odumakin, though married to Yoruba, also originally from the South-east. He didn’t seem to understand what he was advocating, and in what kind of polity.
I eventually linked Oluwasanmi up with the editor of the paper by email, and I told that one to publish his pieces, and see if he could grow into being a regular columnist.

By May, 2015, President Buhari appointed me as his media adviser. I got goodwill phone calls in many hundreds, from within and outside the country. Oluwasanmi called from his base in Maryland, USA, a trend that continued for many months. Each time we traveled to America, he also called, praising President Buhari and the good work he had begun to do for Nigeria. I always thanked him, not suspecting that he had anything else up his sleeves.
On 14/8/2015, I got an email from Oluwasanmi. He said he was in the country on vacation, and would love to visit me at the Presidential Villa. I replied that I would give him time the following week, which I did.
He kept the appointment. A rather smallish man, who talked in a whisper. His person was contrary to the angry man I had always read on Sahara Reporters. No matter.

My visitor praised President Buhari to high heavens, and also lauded the work I was doing in superlatives. As he did, two thoughts crept into my mind: but this man is not a Buharist, judging by his position before the election, why now the praises?. I also remembered my father, a great educationist, who always quoted John Plowman for we his seven children. “When a man makes too much of you, he either needs you, or he wants to cheat you.”
I didn’t have to wonder for too long. Oluwasanmi whipped out his CV, and pleaded with me to find a place for him in the Buhari government, which he said was God-ordained for such a time as this.
Now, let me make something clear. There’s nothing wrong in seeking to serve your country, if you believed in the government of the day. If you also worked to enthrone that government in one way or the other, there’s nothing wrong if you aspired for any position. Angels are not the ones to come down from Heaven to serve. Human beings, with all our strengths and weaknesses, will still do.
But Oluwasanmi didn’t believe in Buhari. He had written as much. Why then was he seeking a position, and so desperately? Has he changed his mind? If so, all well and good. He was almost prostrating as he gave me the CV, and pleading that I should help. I remember making it clear to him that the Buhari Administration was product of a political coalition, and thousands of people were waiting to be compensated. He pleaded once again that I should help, and we said goodbye.


On September 25, 2015, we were in New York for the 70th edition of the UN General Assembly, when by 12.51 p.m, a message popped in by email. It was our dear friend.
“Welcome to the U.S. Please let me know if I could be of help during your stay. I wish the President successful deliberations in his engagements.”
I replied, and thanked him.
On October15, 2015, by 12.50 p.m, another message popped in. “Great job on the pictures posted on Facebook. Anyway, just touching base with you.”
Many phone calls did I receive regularly from Oluwasanmi, as he touched base with me, and reminded that he wanted to serve in the Buhari government. I always took his calls and tried to be as civil as possible.
On December 30, 2015, by 2.08 p.m. Another pop. Yes, from you know who.
“With the legion of corruption cases in the docket of EFCC, I believe the agency would need additional hands to successfully prosecute the scoundrels. I’ll be very useful and effective in the areas of information and research. Please use your connection to hook me up. I really want to be part of the Buhari Revolution that ‘will kill corruption before corruption kills us.’”
It was just four days after I had lost my elder sister, a professor of Dramatic Arts, in an auto crash. I was sorrowing deeply, but I still managed to reply the email, saying I would let him know, if EFCC was recruiting.
Later, Oluwasanmi read of my bereavement, and sent me a condolence message. I thanked him very much, and still thank him today, despite the ill will he now bears, even to the point of wishing me evil after public office.
He says President Buhari is a tyrant. The women who support him are hypocrites. And me, I have failed like all my predecessors in the office I am holding. So, all my predecessors failed? So, who will succeed as media Adviser to the President. Maybe an underwhelming man called Bayo Oluwasanmi. And what happened to all the encomiums he had poured on me? “When a man makes too much of you, he either needs you, or he wants to cheat you. “ So right was John Plowman. And very right was my father. God rest his soul.

What happened to the Buhari Revolution, which he had labored so much to be part of, bending very low (in fact, almost prostrating as he gave me his CV?). Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, is what Shakespeare wrote. Oluwasanmi has refined that saying. Hell hath no fury like a columnist scorned. He will come back with a vengeance, like a fiend out of hell.
But Oluwasanmi was not scorned. Thousands of faithful Buharists have not found space in government, but they remained faithful in 2019, just as they were in 2015. Why then should an American-based writer, who never ‘believed’ be the first one to be given an appointment over them? Fair is fair.
The scoundrel has called the President, the women, and myself all sorts of names. If it was me only, I wouldn’t have replied. I would simply have joined Paul the apostle in saying “Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil. The Lord reward him according to his works.”
But because of President Buhari and those faithful women he took an axe after, Bayo Oluwasanmi has got this comeuppance. I hope it serves him right.

lol..atleast they didn't term him mr bayo ipob or igbo

Tell Buhari he is mad

LegendHero:
I don’t like arguing things like this. God will preserve us all till 2023. We will know who is right or wrong.

Too many arguments like this breeds nothing, coz I believe so much in results. 2023 is not that far.

If Buhari can get more than 55% votes in the SW in the last election, then it will be absurd to claim an Osinbajo will get below 59%. Let’s just leave argument.

One love.

Alright.Amen

LegendHero:
The iya in the market in Osogbo don’t even know who Kwakwanso is not alone the baba farming in Ogbomosho. Also, PDP don’t have the machinery, warchest and money to mobilize voters in the SW like the APC and so the people with the highest spend will carry the day.

APC in the center is different from APC within states. The voters in Ekiti have seen the wonders by Fayemi while those of Ondo have seen what Akeredolu can do. They won’t be blinded by sentiments of a Buhari incompetence against an Osinbajo or Fashola which they have learnt to love.

I don't think honestly u live in Sw at the moment.lol
pdp does not have those yet last general elections shows pdp closing a huge gap including a state where mr Atiku did not even campaign(ogun)
see bro..in 2023 in Sw both apc and pdp irrespective of the candidates will contest for every single votes...
the dress rehearsal for 2023 is what happened in 2019 in sw.
can bet its either u don't interact much physically offline(apart from nl) or u are not even in Sw ATM.
lol

LegendHero:
Thank God you are Yoruba. Let me ask you a simple question.

If you have Osinbajo or Fashola in APC on the ticket against El-Rufai and Kwakwanso in PDP, who will you vote for?

I want your honest answer.

bro..I can never in my life vote for Apc again whoever the canditate is...lol after all the years of pain and sorrow they have cause us in my state?(I'm from osun).
maybe u don't interact with people in this region enough to realise there is deep seethed anger by the people against Apc.
in 2023 in sw its going to be apc mainstream supporters against those who will simply vote for who they belive will serve their personal interest most even if the person is igbo..
thats why your 80%ish is laugable...it can never happen again in sw simply because the factors that made it possible in the past is no longer available..
the winning party in sw will be lucky to even have 59%.
that's why I asked u to bookmark my earlier post.
as long as Osinbajo and fashola will contest under Apc they can never have my votes.
