Yinka Odumakin has gone mad once again. After collecting millions of naira from Goatluck Jonascam and not able to deliver more than his one vote, this nonentity thinks everyone is as foolish as Biafran pigs and idiots. Better shout up your dirty mouth before god of thunder strike you dead.

Pvibe007:
Keep dreaming.
Igbo will never rule Nigeria. The best they can get is the Senate president. We shall never allow any Igbo man rule. Yoruba, Hausa and other tribes are better for the positions.
Meanwhile PMB will be voted out in 2019, Nigeria isn't a plate of rice that's is been shared amongst sections and family

Dee60:
I am not a supporter of PMB but Nigerans should please stop insults and abuses. It could worsen the situation, apart from other reasons.

You see a solider wielding AK47 and you walk near to slap him! Are you not looking for trouble?

Let PMB do his one term and go home.

No need for abuses.

You people think that you can remove Buhari by all this media war, come 2019 you guys will know the difference between core Muslim north and lily livered south. Time will tell. The Election result is ready.

Quote me at your own risk

DEAR Mr. Vice President,

I recall then Lagos state Governor, Mr. Babatunde Fasola, a silk like you hailed your nomination as Vice Presidential candidate in 2014 as a good omen for “the rule of law, federalism and constitutionalism in Nigeria”. He based his optimism on your antecedents especially for being “the brain behind the transformation of the Lagos State judiciary.”

Vice President Yemi Osinbajo He said further while addressing a gathering of judges, lawyers, traditional rulers and religious leaders that: “Professor Osinbajo has made tremendous contribution in the state’s judiciary. He has started his own journey as well because the vision of building an efficient and incorruptible judiciary started under his watch as the Attorney General of Lagos State. So, I wish my brother and friend, Professor Yemi Osinbajo the very best in the journey.”

The then Attorney General of the state and now one of your aides, Mr. Ade Ipaye speaking after Fashola was more effusive as he said you were “by far the most impactful contributor to improvements seen in the Nigerian Justice sector since the end of military rule in 1999.

During his tenure, the idea of bringing justice to the people became entrenched, particularly with the establishment of an Office of the Public Defender and a Citizens Mediation Centre.

Both agencies have since benefited millions of Nigerians directly or indirectly by way of free legal services, free representation in court and free mediation services,” He further noted that as Commissioner for Justice, you ensured strict adherence to the rule of law while in the service of the Lagos State government, saying that: “As an advocate, Prof. Osinbajo participated actively in all important cases during his tenur, especially the constitutional cases in the Supreme Court, showing himself as an astute lawyer and a passionate defender of federalism and Constitutionalism”.

You raised the hope that you would live up to this rating while receiving the leadership of the National Union of Road Transport Workers Union, NURTW in your office in July 2015 and you said that ensuring no one is above the law is the rule in any developed country. You were unequivocal when you declared : “We insist that the rule of law be maintained, that no one is above the law. It is the first rule. The President has committed himself to this.

He said it yesterday again in the U.S that nobody is above the law”. Those words of yours must haunt you today as it would appear that the pull of office has set you against your self and core beliefs. Our fathers from the depth of their wisdom must have had this situation in mind when they said that a sheep that keeps the company of dogs would have excreta for lunch. You started by demolishing your federalist credential by opposing the restructuring concept.

You shattered your apostle of constitutionalism rating with your role in the Magu Saga when you turned the constitution upside down for expediency. You have now completed the cycle by dancing on the rule of law.

As I watched you looking apparently forlorn as prayer points were being raised for Nigeria in crises at the February Holy Ghost Service at the Redeemed Christian Church of God, I remember that Lady Evangelist of the church who was hacked to death under your nose in Abuja and you could not find just a word to condemn the killing how much more ensure the killers were brought to book.

As the killings intensify in the land, we have yet to hear you speak clearly on the side of law enforcement. Rather, we hear empty platitudes like the one you made on politicisation of killings during an interdenominational service in Abuja on January 7,2018:

“Again, we have seen some today who want to benefit politically. The killing of women and children in Adamawa, Benue, Jos and several other places, stoking the embers of ethnicity and religion.

“By their hate speeches, they want to fix the criminal acts of a few individuals on the whole tribe and a whole people and will want to create religious crisis if we allow. “Our obligation is to stop them from playing dangerous politics that could threaten our unity and stability, just as we continue to enforce the peace in the troubled area.”

Harsh words against killers? None! As if for complete disintegration, you now head a diversionary and contemptuous shadow-chasing committee instead of enforcing the laws against ‘sacred cows’ who are killing fellow citizens under the guise of the right of their cows to graze on any space in Nigeria.

Your panel has now set up a sub-committee to go and appease the Meyitti Allah who have owned up to the killings and threatening more deaths if the anti-open grazing law is not repealed. It seems you now have good company in the Defense Minister and the Inspector General of Police who have now become what Governor Ortom rightly describe as “spokesperson for killer herdsmen”.

Sadly ,your pedigree is being assaulted by this new role trusted upon you. It is grieving how otherwise solid men allow temporary power to destroy their future because they pay little heed to the fact that there is life after office. What will you teach in a Criminal Law class tomorrow?

That when crimes are committed,appeasement takes the place of punishment if the culprits belong to special interest ?Are you going to tear the page that says “thou shall not kill” from your Bible?What will you tell your Sunday School students on the sanctity of human life?

My dear Vice President, you come from a land that has produced men who would not allow the perks of office to dull their conscience and the values they hold dear.

The grandfather of your wife in a moving tribute to the late Ooni of Ife,Oba Adesoji Aderemi recalled his gallantry and the Alake during his tenure thus : He was a frontline nationalist. If he had not been Oba, he would, in my judgement, have occupied a position of leadership in the affairs of the country as from the late thirties such as some of us have occupied since the early fifties.

The progress of Nigeria towards independence was greatly accelerated by the motion for self-government in 1956 filed by Tony Enahoro in 1953 at the instance of the Action Group of Nigeria. Without the mighty backing of the late Ooni and the late Alake, the motion would not have even reached the Order Paper. Late Sir John Macpherson had left no stone unturned in trying to get Oba Aderemi and Oba Ademola to dissuade us from pursuing the motion. In the alternative, he had urged them to mobilise all Western Region Obas and Chiefs to oppose the move. But the late Ooni and the late Alake immovably stood their ground.

The emancipation of their country was of greater concern to them than any material thing or official honour that could be gained, or any inconvenience that could befall them. When the motion for Independence was killed in the House of Representatives by the NPC’s dilatory tactics, the Action Group and NCNC members walked out of the House. Oba Aderemi and Oba Ademola also walked out with us.

Immediately after the walkout, the Ooni proceeded to the Government House to tender his resignation from the Council of Ministers. And thereafter, throughout the contest unto final victory, the late Oba Aderemi did not waver even for a fleeting moment.

When the big test came that is, when Sir John (Macpherson) tried to divide our ranks by nominating the late Ooni to the Council of Ministers to the exclusion of Bode Thomas and others, the late Oba Aderemi voted against himself with the same determination and defiance as all of us in the Joint Session of the Houses of Chiefs and Assembly did. In the end, thanks to his steadfastness, we had our way.” Awolowo himself said NO whenever it was necessary. Admiral Akin Aduwo sacrificed his office instead of surrendering University of Ife to the Federal Goverment. Gen. Alani Akinrinade resigned honourably when he was promoted into irrelevance as Chief of Defence Staff under Shagari. Only men of straw say “my hands are tied”.

A real man should know what is beneath him.If we have reached a point where killers are above the laws of Nigeria, a man who made clear commitment to the rule of law like you should not be an accessory after crime by holding talks with those who should be sweating before the law. It is beneath!

12submarine:
I don't support Buhari’s administration, but what do you mean by reasonable comment? The comments on the front page which you skipped are the reasonable comments right? So comments like "Buhari is a murderer, Buhari is a bastard, Buhari is this, Buhari is that" are reasonable, by your standard? Shaking my big head.

DankemzI:
SESS its time to keep our differences aside and align with a candidate that has the interests of our regions at heart! Remember the region that betrayed GeJ & be wary of their manipulative hand of friendship

My own is: the hand shake across the Niger was a waste of time. Until we shake hands with our God and reconcile with Him, whether we shake hands across the Niger, or behind the Niger or in the Niger itself, wouldn't make much difference.

ChidiAlaigbo:
Well said......the same old thieves already infiltrating the list.

I spot Pat Utomi again, the same bold faced thief that robbed bank PHB where I lost N10m cash money.

No go better for the x-eyed albino.

They are already too many sef, "too many hands spoils the broth"

kolawoleibukun:
Truth be told, the man lived his life and died but he is not worthy to be on a front page. These people are a waste of the effort of our colonial masters. They benefitted from the crème of the established programmes established by the system that the British gave us and yet they got to the pinnacle of (local) success and forgot about the system that bred them.
What would posterity remember him by? These men made no contributions to us. I have been hearing this man's name for ages yet I do not know what he has done for real.

There is nothing like dignity for a man. Speaking out for what you believe in and condemning evil without spitting out saliva. I still respect the likes of Dora Akunyili and Fela Kuti. Who came out against a crooked and evil system. All these men just enriched themselves and their families. What stopped this man from building a world-class hospital in his own village? He died like frozen chicken in London. These people do not know how irritating it is to dump an old weakened cadaver in an airplane.

We were taught that our ancestors moved to the village when they age and when death calls. But these old men are moving to London when they know that it is useless in the end.

Alex Ekwueme was trained in the US on scholarship. Where really are the men in Nigeria? with such power and influence we would expect these men to influence the youths positively. Ekwueme's brother is a traditional ruler in Anambra state. How? Connection.

Look at his house? See fluorescent tube without cover. Old AC with wiring swinging left to right. Misplaced priority is a common problem for wealthy men in Nigeria. They have no taste for real. Look at all those iddiots going to visit. Who will visit the families of the people murdered by Fulani hersdmen. na Only rich man dem day pay condolence visit? uzeless people.

fiizznation:
Funny how some people think they can change the pastoral way of life of the average herdsman. The fulani man wont allow any forces to suppress and oppress him and his way of life.

Cattle colonies as sugested by some people is the only solution that might bring a lasting peace to the crisis between the "herdsmen" and whoever they normally have clashes with(that's if what is happening today is even about the fulani man's cows).

Btw, I can See how Nigeria media houses have lunched some sort of WAR against the fulani tribe and our way of life, but am not bothered because i know they will never succeed.

mubeela:
Igbos chucking mouth in somtin dat doesn't consigns dem (politics)

mudiana:
so God you brought PMB to teach us a lesson, we don learn. pls take him away, we are hurting.

Odingo1:
In fair play, Igbo man from SE should be the next president after the north, SW,North, SS has been there,let Igbos do also.
There are good Igbo men with good records e.g Charles Soludo, Peter Obi, Chidoka, Ekwerremadu etc

mema900:
I like the way we all unite when the issue of buhari is brought up. It shows we are all feeling the heat.
Lets change this man by 2019. Its no longer an issue of North or South, Muslim or Christian. Its about Nigeria. Its about having a good life. Its about we the poor masses.

Please get your PVC before 2019 lets build this country together.

I stand with Donald Duke; If he can build Calabar, He can build Nigeria

Not easy to stick with one hole na.
