...On the same day, the President will visit the Ooni of Ife, Oba Okunade Sijuwade.

He said, “You will recall that when the President visited Ibadan for his campaign, he only visited Olubadan. We have identified the need for him to also visit the Alaafin of Oyo.

“The same thing happened when we were at Osogbo for the presidential rally. He visited the Ataoja of Osogbo. We have found it necessary to visit the Ooni of Ife...

GEJ and his campaign team are always too far from reality. Which is likely going to add to their inevitable massive lose next month.
Gej visited Ataoja of Oshogbo and Oni of Ife in Osun 2014 election, his visit to these traditional rullers couldn't win the election for his party's candidate. Oshogbo where Gej campaigned and visited the king gave the opposition candidate the highest vote in the state. Not to mention Alaafin that is so engrossed in the opposition part affair, he didn't only donate to the party's success, he left his palace in Oyo down to Osun to attend Aregbe's 2nd term inauguration. Perhaps they are hoping Soun of Ogbomosho 'll support their bid, while his son his contesting under this same opposition party for the house of rep.
As for Oba of Lagos, seems he has the largest share in APC of all the Obas in SW.

2undexy:
lol...re u kiddin me? How many Seun do we av on N'land

I guess he was surprised to read his post on GEJ void of sentiment. Same here anyways...

Chanchit:
Sometimes I wonder if na primary school brain dem dey take govern Nigeria, so u think the best way to watch someone wiser than you is to pack 10trucks of soldiers to watch him, what happened to spy gadgets!? #na wa.

Lol, one just have to shake head and smile at the display of unprofessionalism by many of Nigerian's security agencies. As if they're allergic to the use of COMMONSENSE.

The very annoying part is the pride and confidence they display while embarrassing Nigerians sensibilities.

ojimbo:
I have complained alot about the rate of narrow roads and unplanned our state is, i just lost a brother yeaterday in nnewi as a result of road accident.
When next such thing happens again, i promise you one thing, i will tear your tenure apart, i will make life very painfull for both our state and local government.

Thats my last word to you

And tearing down your governor's tenure is the anwer?! Why not channel your complaints to the authorities in a civilized manner? Tearing down the tenor of your state governor can only make life more miserable for you and your people. If you truly love your state and people, no matter how bad or clueless those governing your state are, "making life very painful" for them and the people is definitely not a well thought option.

mumumugu:
They are politically clueless.

Go to muslim section,dem plenty dey shout Allah is great

if you question why,dem go ban you

you need to first take an oath of initiation

They are politically clueless! Yet they have the highest numbers of registered voters and highest percentage of PVC collection. Except there is a new definition of being "clueless" or you're just being ironical, they ain't "politically clueless". If internet political participation is your yardstick for determining a politically smart people/region, then you're far from reality.

bettercreature:
This Omisore is the most corrupt official i ever seen,he is the most useless politician in ife,he has done nothing for Ife people(only useless solar street light) ever since he started politics,infact he left his old house rather than repair its road,he is selfish and useless politician

Well... It ain't just Omisore alone, but mostly all politicians, Omisore might be worst case anyways....

naijaking1:
This is why all of you belong to the hell fire!

A judge must be judged, so said the holy bible!

But you didn't judge no one in your own case!!

domack99:
If this is true then case close but why fail math this will be another issue PDPs will be mocking about

Who knows if there is a section of the constitution that says; "a person must pass mathematics before he can contest for the highest office in the land"?
Lol...

baybeeboi:
av always admired Yoruba Politicians
but I dnt knw where this Tinubu and Fashola sprang up from
did someone say they are bastards or touts?

Lol... You've always admired Yoruba politics like the ones being played by Obj, Akala, Gbenga Daniel, Bankole, Adedibu, Fayosho and other player of amala politics over that of Tinubu and Fashola?! Respect mehn..

If the writer was so sure of the rejection of Buhari in the SW, as stated in the write up, what then is the essence of writing this long epistle? I believe such person should be somewhere popping champaign that the general is gonna lose the SW.

Except, someone is too timid to accept the fact & reality on ground. Lol...


And if I may add, there has been no time the crook Tinubu ever claimed the godfather of SW, those who gave him the title are political losers that have been checkmated by the smarter Tinubu, people like Ex-convict Bode George and his likes.

It's quite funny how the ruling party in Lagos is campaigning vigorously, while the supposed opposition that is interested in taking over is doing close to nothing called rally.

Perhaps there is a point I'm missing.

Firefire:
I don't support that methodology of campaigning. Only Almighty God gives life and take it.

Ayodele Fayose is responsible for his action.

Good. But he has support of the whole PDP on this, except the part dissociate itself from the ads.

Firefire:
Nigeria my father's land, Nigeria my country.

What can you say about that? You're one of the very few reasonable and polite supporters of Mr. President on this forum, that's why I wanna know your thought.

21. We have not spoken about the President's family, his health, his religion, his ethnic group, or his phone number.

And that is one big difference many reasonable Nigerians can see.

Kenai:
Osundefender.
Take these propagandists seriously at your own risk.

It's a true story. At least I saw two damaged APC billboard yesterday at Oke-fia on my out of town around 12pm before the president arrived. Wouldn't know if more damages have been done since I left.

aguiyi:
Osun is an APC controlled state so who would believe this

I saw those damages myself yesterday. I just thank God the Osun APC guys were matured enough to avoid violence. If a strong APC state like Osun could provide a conducive and violence free environment for the president and his party,(they were allowed to use the Oshogbo city stadium that was completed by Ogbeni during the governorship campaign last year, the freedom park built by Ogbeni for yestersay's rally and even the security patrol vehicles also bought by Ogbeni were used for patrol for the president's visit yesterday), the best the president's party could do to repay them was to tear off their billboards?!

One wonders why the two major presidential aspirants have neglected the Northern Nigeria for any campaign or rally. As if they've both agreed the region is a no-go-area.

Mixing religion with politics is not good. But what baffles is how the catholic bishops who have dissociated themselves from the Enugu Reverend, since the footage of him castigating Mr. Jonathan went viral, see nothing bad or worth correction when he(Enugu Reverend) hosted Mrs Patience and endorsed her husband(president). Perhaps, his action then wasn't political, but became one the momemt it involves Buhari, or better still a Muslim politician.
I won't judge because I ain't God. But humanly speaking, it's a pure display of hypocrisy and double standard.

If your manner of dressing is immodest, the only thing that's likely to come to every guy's mind that sees u 'll be sex. Dress well and see reasonable guys cherish and run after you for reasons you wish.

What's up with those cutleries on the table without any food to use on, na bottled water dey wan use them on?!

Eziachi:
Politicians, it all about image. Last time we were told how Jonathan brought Facebook to Nigeria. Now Buhari opened a Twitter account.

Those handling Buhari this time around seem to mean business.

Let us not allow tribal and religious sentiments to blind us and cause us to make the wrong choice.

Op you're confused.
So...why should the people of SW vote for Jonathan aside from being a Southerner?
Going by your contradictory jargons up there, you just made a point why every Southerner who sees Jonathan as a wrong choice should vote in Buhari who has a better record.

General Superintendent of Deeper Life Bible Church, Pastor Williams Kumuyi, has directed all members of the church to obtain their voter cards and vote for a credible government in the 2015 elections.

He reiterated the need for people to shun religious and ethnic sentiments in choosing leaders in the elections.

Kumuyi spoke on Wednesday in Ado Ekiti while declaring open a three-day revival in Ekiti State.

He said, “I declare that all members of Deeper Life should go and get their voter cards so that we will vote for a credible government. Whoever is voted, if he is not doing the right thing, then we will have the right to complain.

“If we must vote for the right kind of people, we must exercise our right to vote.”

He advised Nigerians to look at the records of politicians and their manifesto before voting in 2015.

“We should not vote for people because we are from the same area or of the same church. People should vote based on the credentials of the leaders. We have to look at the records of those that are contesting for us to elect credible leaders that will bring development.

“It won’t be wise for people to start voting for somebody because he is from your area or he is a member of your church. This is the more reason why people should speak through the ballot by participating actively in the electoral system,” the cleric said.

He also appealed to politicians to learn to accept defeat in elections while urging winners to be magnanimous.

“For politicians, when the votes have been cast, there should be no violence, rioting or burning of places just because somebody did not win. The good of the people should be at the centre of our heart,” he added.

Kumuyi also clarified the statement he made about the authenticity of December 25 as the date of birth of Jesus.

He said, “The point is that our emphasis should not be on one day of Christmas. Why is it that we elevate one day for our celebration?

“I didn’t say that Christ was not born, he was born. I didn’t say there was no date of birth, there is a date of birth. What I’m saying is that I wasn’t there, you were not there; so we don’t know the exact date, but we have picked one day for the celebration, let us move ahead.”

He urged churches to continue to involve in social welfare by empowering the poor in the society.

He said this would help in teaching citizens how to be their brothers’ keepers in a developing nation like Nigeria, where poverty is high.

glory2glory:
@Op, do you know what it means to be a Christian? You come here, asking Christians not to vote Buhari because he is not a Christian. But you a Christian rain insults on people. Are you a follower of Christ? By their fruits we shall know them. FYI, Nigerians are wiser now.

Thanks for this and may your God bless you.
They pretend to be true Christians, when in the real sense they'll pass for the biblical Pharises; Who pray in the corner of the street for others to see them as holy people, but their secret life is nothing close to Godliness. Just scroll up and read series of hateful, tribalistic, abusive and dirty comments these guys posted.

Ogundipe admitted that President Goodluck Jonathan had not been able to do much for the
people of the South-West but said it was because

Good to know that SW PDP agreed that Mr. Jonathan has not done much for the people of Southwest, yet they want the people of the region to vote him in for the next four years, then he'll have lesser reasons to perform since he has nothing to lose anymore if reelected.

Yorubas were not contributing to the success of
Jonathan.

Perhaps, the likes of Soyinka and Falana that stood for Mr. Jonathan when he was being treated like a basic school pupil by Lt.Yar'Adua's wife are Igalas.
5 of the 6 SW states voted massively for Jonathan, yet this confused guy claims the yorubas didn't contribute to Jonathan's success.

He, therefore, called on the people of the South-West especially Lagos, to ensure that the Peoples Democratic Party won most of the elective positions including federal legislative seats so that Yorubas would be able to get juicy positions.

How unreasonable can one be?! This dude is just the usual SW PDP guys who cares less about real time development, but appointment for themselves and family to feed fat.

Go to Akwa Ibom and see what the governor is doing there. Look at the stadium in Akwa Ibom. How many stadiums has Fashola built? There are bad roads all over the state with heavy traffic every day.
“Instead of Fashola to fix the roads, he was busy
repairing Federal Government roads and sending

Someone should tell these guys that the populace benefit more from road constructed, than a stadium. What's the point of a stadium when the road that leads to it is in bad condition?
And it's a crime for Fashola to fix federal roads the incompetent FG has so long overlooked?!

this oil price slump is gonna hit states hard you know

Of course.

Tolexander:
Governor Rauf Aregbesola of Osun State made the last salary payment in september!

Nicca(Ogbeni) dey owe mehn...
I think these other guys too are oweing;
Kogi
Oyo
Benue
Ondo

ZKOSOSO:
@Op we the members of deeperlife know perfectly what our leader meant.
He is saying @ state level vote any good aspirant but @ national level vote GEJ!!

Lying on the leadership of the church in order to suit your wish(es) doesn't speak well of you as a true deeper life member. Heavenly minded deeper life members and christians don't lie. As a worker in DCLM, I've never heard any of the church leaders on the pulpit endorse any political party or candidate, not in zonal, district, regional, state, national nor international level.

Seems the rulling PDP is really awake from its 16yrs slumber. They're using every tactic to bring down the recent uncontrollable soaring general buhari's popularity.

Lol...

Zuria:
Naa...Nigerian the locals here enjoy beer parlor gossip and detest anything outside PDP. Ask them one thing they have gained from the PDP led government you'll be labelled a terrorist sent to spy on them

Tolexander:
Bro, it's been long i've been supporting buhari.

I voted for Ribadu cos he was a better candidate in 2011. If Ribadu wasn't contesting in the election, i would definitely vote for Buhari cos GEJ was never an option to me.

I may not believe in any party cos they are all the same, i still believe in individual.

Buhari has the record to convince me that relatively, he isn't corrupt.

Sai Buhari

You got a point bro.
Many of us had sympathy for Mr. Jonathan in 2011 because of his shoeless past he told the world and for being from the minority, plus the the eagerness to show some Northerners who have the born-to-rule mentality.

I believe many today care less about whatever sentiment any politician wanna use to get vote. It's strictly about having the best as leader. I also think Gen. buhari got that over Mr. Jonathan.

Tolexander:
A very serious quest for change from just too much of a fan!

Sai Buhari!

Bro since when did you start supporting a candidate? You believe in GMB?

dridowu:
What an easy ride 4 Ajumobi. Anyway, Akala still need to to throw away some of the money he make during his term as governor

Ladoja is a strong candidate.
