Wow!! Who could ever have predicted Aisha Buhari, I mean the AISHA BUHARI would someday become a hero to citizens of the trillion dollars Ugu Exporting country?

Life is such a misery iant it?

Just look at iPods falling over themselves to lick the soles of her shoes today. What a marvellous site to behold.

I can bet my balls the next articles from the junkie FFK and the Mad Dog of Ekiti would be a eulogy for her.

Cognitive dissonance, psychological projection.
All in a day's job for you ?

We pity people like you.

OP!

And decievers keep claiming that they are fighting CORRUPTION in Nigeria ?

Obviously they are yet to understand what corruption means.

Fineman87:
These yorubas are deceiving themselves just as they did wen they married the north. Imagine the rubbish strategy written by a narrow minded and short sighted afonja. The sw will never remain the same after buhari's tenure. Go and write it down.

Extreme NARROW-MINDEDNESS is the key word here.
Crass opportunitism.
Despite all the lessons of history.

It is laughable.

When will they learn ?

MayorofLagos:
Editor’s note: Dele Awogbeoba in this piece writes on the cracked relationship between the presidency and the national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

The author stresses that President Muhammadu Buhai would not be re-elected in 2019 without the support of the Yorubas which covers 7 states and a third of Kogi state.

The cracked relationship between the presidency and Jagaban

A lot has been said (mainly by people within the PDP) emphasizing the supposed cracks between the presidency and the most influential political figure from the South West of Nigeria in the person of Bola Tinubu.

The narrative seems to be that the Presidency is trying to whittle down the influence of Bola Tinubu and it has been given expression in the release of the list of Buhari’s ministerial nominees, the Kogi substitution of Bello for Faleke (which with the benefit of hindsight has been proved to be the correct decision in law (as confirmed by the Nigerian Supreme court)) and the outcome of the Ondo party primaries. On the flip side, Tinubu’s alliance has yielded a number of positives for the Yoruba nation politically.

Today, the vice president, Senate president (although this has more to do with the Northern Yoruba than Tinubu), Deputy Speaker, Chief of Defense Staff, ministries of power, works, solid minerals, communications and the head of the economic team are headed by Yorubas. A significant turnaround for the Yoruba in Nigeria especially when compared with their relatively weak power position pre May 2015.

The facts on the ground now are simple. The Buhari government at the centre is fast losing support outside his main area of core strength during his CPC days. His support in the NC, SW and Edo is weakening irrespective of whether he stands in good stead with Tinubu or not. Edo state had in 2015 for PDP nationally and APC locally. It followed that pattern a month ago by voting for APC locally but with even less convincing numbers than in 2015. Buhari’s support in the South South seems to continue to be negative.

Strangely enough, Buhari has been positive towards the Akwa Ibom/Cross River axis. He has given influential positions to that axis in the form of Chief of Naval staff and Minster of Budget and National planning to that axis. It is too early to state whether that will move the needle in 2019 in that part of the SS. What is clear is that Buhari cannot win re-election in 2019 without the Yoruba support which covers 7 states and a third of Kogi state. Tinubu should also realize that the Yoruba interests should and does exceed the emotional attachment to one man. That said, it is not in the wider Yoruba interests to let Tinubu (for all his faults and assets) be humiliated.

The Yoruba should therefore ensure that it does the following:

1. Coalesce around Tinubu within the APC and make it clear that it is all for one and one for all. Once the Northern elements of the APC know and realize that there is no room for a divide and conquer scenario it will have to retreat to the drawing board whilst calling off its attacks against Tinubu.

2. Refrain from being goaded into leaving the APC in the near term. It is a major stakeholder in the APC and a critical component of the coalition that brought this APC government to power. For the duration of Buhari’s 4 year government, the Yoruba must stay fully involved.

3. Make sure the federal ministers of Yoruba extraction are kept away from the political power play. Let them concentrate on their professional responsibility associated with their offices. They are required to support the president in the furtherance of government and they must not be distracted from doing that. The Vice President should limit himself to his professional duties and ignore the undercurrents going on between Tinubu and the President.

4. By the third year of Buhari’s government, the Yoruba will need to have been well along the line with another core strategy of reaching out significantly to the Middle Belt and the South South. This can be done in two ways (both must however by subtle).

The first is to advance moves to take up vigorously opposition to the herdsman killing. All Yoruba states should be encouraged to pass the Ekiti type law restrictions of herdsmen activity.

Subsequently, Yoruba members of NASS should start efforts to replicate such laws at the national level. Those laws will be opposed by the Fulani North. That opposition is what is desired and what needs to be highlighted. The herdsmen issue should form the basis of meetings between the Middle Belt, South West and the South East on the governorship level. That effort needs to be initiated by a South West Governor that is not overtly political. The South West should be seen as leading this effort.

Another strategy for the Yoruba’s is to reach out to former president Goodluck Jonathan

The Yoruba should (as a parallel strategy) start the subtle re-habilitation of Goodluck Jonathan. Goodluck Jonathan still represents the source of significant support within the South South.

The Yoruba should reach out to him and start the process of overcoming the irritation that his marginalization gave rise too from the Yoruba perspective and the South South irritation with the part the Yoruba played in his removal. GEJ should be invited to open new structures in the South West and to chair initiatives that bind the South West and the South South together. All these steps must be subtle and incremental. The recent interview given by Edwin Clark indicates that the SS under his leadership recognizes the historical relationship between the SW and Edo and Delta states. Moves should be made to ensure that Edo and Delta are reincorporated into the Odua group (as Lagos was recently reincorporated) which they were inequitably deprived membership of once the Mid west was created out of the western region.

Once the South South and the South West re-align, the South East (eager for South South approval and friendship) will not be far behind. The Yoruba then needs to delegitimize the Fulani led Islamic council. A Southern Islamic council should be floated and made completely independent of the Sultan led council.

MURIC should assume that role and all Yoruba states and Edo muslims be encouraged to only announce Islamic edicts coming from MURIC (which should be expanded to include other southern muslims) and ignore all edicts coming from the Sokoto caliphate. Yoruba members of that organization should be pressured to resign.

The final stage of the strategy should then be implemented in the final year of the Buhari presidency. If Buhari fails to get the message, then talks should be commenced for the merger between the PDP and the Tinubu faction of the APC. The basis should be for a Yoruba muslim from Kwara as the top person of the ticket and a person from the SS as the VP. This respects the already decided zoning formula agreed by the PDP. The SE takes the Senate Presidency and a non Yoruba person from the North Central to be elected as Speaker.

The Yoruba of the South West should get the Chief of staff position or the Secretary to the Federal Government position. The positions of Chief of Defence Staff, Chief of Army, Navy and Airforce should also be split between the four zones. The distribution of all the first class ministries should also be distributed equally between the four zones of the alliance. The re-activation of the winning coalition that propelled OBJ (in 2003) and GEJ (in 2011) would thus be reactivated.

What should not be done however, is a petulant breakdown of the Yoruba engagement within the Buhari government mid stream. At the current time no part of Nigeria is comfortable with its relative position in the power structure. Buhari’s performance has left the core North vulnerable politically.

The NC, SW, SE and SS are all feeling insecure in their position vis-a-vis the current state of play at the current time.

The Yoruba needs to be steady in its gaze and in its control of events through forward planning and strategic thinking.

The level of sophisticated naivety expressed in this article is hilarious.
And this is and has always been the problem with southwest political elites.
Read carefully through this article and see the level of arrogance and daydreaming involved.

The writer, like the typical southwest political elite, makes no bankable commitment to any position, but merely express the need to eat his political cake and still have it,.. Typical crass opportunitism that keeps them repeating the mistakes of history.

sunkoye:
pple want justice cos they av been pushed to the wall.

Bullshyte.

These are N2000 per head Rent-a-croud.

I predicted it. Soon, Citizens are going to be wearing Buhari or APC badges just for their survival.

The HUNGER Games.
APC edition.

Eddlad:
Half of these foreign conditions are just nature's own way of restoring the offset caused by man's actions, the other is half more or less even necessary.

So you're blaming man for the destructive acts of nature?
C'mon, you're kidding. Right?

Billions of years before man , nature had been convulsing, vomiting and twirling.
In fact, the twisted and deformed landscapes we see in every corner of world, such as mountains, canyons, Earth quake fault lines, volcanic mountains,valleys, oceans , rivers and their Tributaries, the coming and going of ice ages every couple of thousand years, are all evidence of nature's very very long history of random convulsions.

Heck, it took the Earth a whole 1 billion years of violent wobbling just to establish what we now see as a stable circular orbit around the Sun. And the Earth still wobbles, still trying to attain even a more stable orbit.
Now, if the Earth suddenly attained a perfectly circular orbit around the Sun without allowing enough time for existing species to commensurately evolve to that new condition, the results would be catastrophic for all existing lifeforms, and like we have seen with Dinosaurs, would inevitably lead to the emergence of entirely new species whose biology would be evolutionally tuned to the new celestial conditions.

sukkot:
should you continue ? lawd ave mercy did he just say ' should i continue ' ? you aint even started yet bro lolzzz. we aint dealing with a 30 year old case. the statute of limitation is over on that case. give me something fresh chief. and something that will move me

Lol.

Statute Of limitations is over on treason ?
You gotta be kidding.

TheRealestGuy:
Bros, nor dey waste your precious time with that inconsequential tenderfoot.

Please

Don't worry, pal.

He is my friend, my junior brother from an alternate universe, so to speak.

I am just performing a public service by flogging him with common sense from time to time.

sukkot:
so your hate over buhari dates back to a 1983 episode ? LORD HAVE MERCY my chief na wa for you oooo lolzzz. see now you are proving the same point with everyone who hates buhari which is you guys dont know why you hate the man, you had to go back to over 30 years ago to pull out a reason why you hate the man ? [img]http://4.bp..com/-80o59b3-qnY/TXQFHqcTfbI/AAAAAAAAAwA/SjeFzvBeoMo/s1600/laughter1262542393.jpg#laughter?vm=r&s=1[/img]

Sire,
We are having a conversation, are we not ?
I just thought I should start from number 1, his antecedents.

And please, stop using the word ' hate'.
Being harshly critical of someone who is mismanaging the Commonwealth of 180m Nigerians is not equivalent to hate.

Should I continue ?

sukkot:
bro, greetings Field Marshall Plaetton, lolzzz. now that we have dispensed of the greetings lets get down to business. Now none of you have explained to me the evils done by buhari. i told therealestguy to explain it to me and he has disappeared telling me he is just angry that jonathan lost. most of you who hate buhari i always find out are simply just angry that jonathan lost but you have to get over it. even the ijaws have gotten over it. you have to get over this fact. now buhari got into power at a precarious time when oil prices had dropped to 30 dollars a barrel. what were you expecting ? that the nation will be enjoying under 30 dollars a barrel ? of course there will be suffering because the nation is dependent on oil. jonathan ruled when oil was 140 a barrel and even buhari is doing a great job with oil at 30 dollars a barrel than with jonathan at 140 dollars a barrel. so i ask ? what evils has buhari done, i need a comprehensive explanation or forever hold ya peace

Lord Obadiah,
The evils of Buhari over the last year and half are so voluminous that it would take a 100 page essay just to summarise them.
I will take your challenge. It's just that it has been chorused so much, that it feels like repeating it for the millionth time.

First of all, the fact that you keep bringing Jonathan into current Administration issues is evidence of cognitive dissonance.
No one, I repeat, no one is crying over Jonathan loss almost 2 years after the election. What people have are deep regrets for being fooled, being swindled into voting for a fossilized dinosaur to manage a modern Ecosystem. That's the tragedy that people are grieving( or wailing) over.

As for Buhari's evils, let's start with his lack of patriotism and total unabashed contempt for the people of Nigeria.

In 1983 he committed treason against Nigeria by criminally mutinying, and stealing power by forcefully overthrowing a Democratic government.

He has never been held accountable for that treason.

There isn't a greater evil against one's nation than that.

sukkot:
hehehe but seriously bros lets dialogue. i need to know all the evils done by buhari maybe i can have a change of heart and be on your side. so i need you to inform me. i am ignorant of the evils so it is your job to tell me , if you truly believe he is an evil man

Lord Obadiah,

You're still supporting that Dinosaur ?

You should know that a dinosaur and a modern Ecosystem can't gel.
Didn't you watch Jurassic park?

The rest of my friends, former supporters of Buhari, are all now hiding in shame. The few honest ones have come out to express deep regret.

Pls don't feel shy or too proud to cross over to the light.
Cognitive dissonance is a terrible thing, but common sense can heal .

Here, come hither , dear friend.

houstonia:

What do you think the right thing is, compensating sycophants? You're joking. They sold Nigeria thinking they could be friends with the north and get duely compensated at the end of the day. Oga she has said it all, you can ask the SE, they have had more experience in dealing with the north, “the north do not assimilate as the French” hence a non northerner remains a complete stranger for as long as it be. Let the rumors, battle, hating begin. People fail to realize that things will only get worse. As it stands this country can only expect the worst. Just being realistic. I don't see a happy ending

You took these words right out my mouth.

Lol @ rent-a-crowd.

Just look at the so-called protesters with dilapidated stomach infrastructures.

Anything counts for employment these days.

DoctorAlien:
I really hope this will be a highly intellectual, friendly, bereft-of-any-abusive-word discussion.

On that note, I would say that Nature was made to suit man. I say this because the earth and the solar system is impeccably suited for life. Scientific research proves that a difference, even of the minutest degree, in the condition of the earth and of the solar system, would make life impossible.

If there is only one planet in our solar system that is suitable for life, human life, then I wonder how you can say that our solar system is suited for life. The fact that only a very very remote corner of our solar system evolved and sustains life is evidence that life is a cosmic accident that occurs when the very rare set of conditions occur.

Secondly, our solar system has been pulsating happily on its own for more than 5 billion long years before the advent of man.

Thirdly, archeological evidence continues to show us that there have been different species of humans that have existed on Earth over the course of the last few million years ago, and that modern humans, homo sapien sapiens, have only been around in just the last 250,000 yrs or so.

Fourthly, history has shown that nature is no respecter of life, human life especially.
Volcanic eruptions, floods, hurricanes, earthquakes, tsunamis, plagues and killer diseases do not accommodate human needs or even the life considerations of any life form.

Lastly, if the universe or the solar system was crafted and tuned to sustain life, then the term " survival of the fittest" would be meaningless.
In other words, if nature was our benevolent babysitter, we would not need to fight so much just to survive, fight so much to dodge, tame and conquer nature.

In fact, survival, evolution is the impetus to adapt and overcome the adversity of nature.
This is why life, whether animal, plants or human, is a CONSTANT CHALLENGE, to overcome the pitfalls and conspicuous ADVERSITY of nature.

You have to unclad yourself and curse her back to neutralize the effect of her curse in your life. But these time around you will curse her during the day and make sure you curse her asap.

Actually, he doesn't need to curse her. She has already cursed herself.
Whatever nonsense she did in the middle of the night can be neutralized by common sense in the middle of the day.

In my culture, all the man has to do, if his heart is free from evil, if he is or has been her benefactor, is to come outside in the day, look up and stretch his hands out towards the Sun and invoking the Sun as his witness.
Nothing more.

Providence would balance the equation in due time.

DeepSight:
Plaetton, the Video has been taken down, but note one of the commentaries on the page - It says -

"I would like to see a study done like that where Caucasians were placed in a neighborhood that was primarily another ethnic group. Have a group of three black children beat a car in a primarily black neighborhood, and then have three white children do the same thing. It seems only fair to do the study both ways, so that we could see if there was a bias in the black neighborhood against the children who looked as if they “didnt belong there,” in the same way the black children aroused more response in the primarily white neighborhood. As it stands, it seems to me that people are definitely discriminating, but the design of the program does not tell us if this form of discrimination is exclusive to whites or not. These kinds of videos can also skew the perception of people, in this case into thinking that racism or discrimination against outsiders is something unique to whites. I suspect, it is not. I suspect if the experiment were reversed, and you put the exact same children in the same situation in a primarily black neighborhood, the white children would be the ones catching the most flack."

Surely this is a valid point?

PS: I do not agree at all with Peterphd though. The tendency for cops to snuff out black lives with minimal excuse is palpable and real.

I do understand whee you're coming from, DS, but the reality is that white folks feel an almost natural threat in the presence of black youths. I have not personally seen or heard of black folks feeling threats of imminent danger in the presence of white youths.
I would probably say that it is more likely that black folks in black neighborhoods would behave in similar manner towards black youths that the whites did.
I do blame media stereotyping for this problem.

This op follows the usual twisted logic Buhari's paid online apologists.
Well, first of all the FBI cannot ever be compared to the DSS.
The DSS has no Constitutional mandate to arrest citizens for suspicions of corruption.
That's what the police, the EFCC and ICPC are for.

Secondly, in Nigeria, I believe we do have an independent judicial commission that exclusively deals with judicial corruption or impropriety.

Thirdly, the FBI first investigates, gathers information that can lead to a conviction, indicts via grand jury, and then makes the arrest when they feel confident of a conviction.
The FBI doesn't arrest judges for the pleasure of the executive or to feed into political narratives.

For any who is ignorant of the rise of Hitler, the scenarios are being played out here.
One by one, different groups are being selected for intimidation and silencing.

Yours might be next , and will come sooner or later

@jackBizzle.

You can find the documentary here.

JackBizzle:
I wouldnt mind a link to the video.....


Here is a similar scenario
-a white boy stealing a bicycle; no one bothers
-a black boy stealing a bicycle; people start asking questions and wanting the cops to know

The boys were of similar age and were wearing the same clothes.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ge7i60GuNRg

It was a TV documentary.
Let me search and see it I can find it online.

peterphd:
Hahaha.. Name calling. It's funny that you think anyone that speaks against the harassment and insults white people face because they're white is an uncle Tom. Have you looked at cases of violence against cops? No prizes for guessing which race comes out with all guns blazing. The episode involving a 12 year old is sad but isn't racially motivated as you can't even tell us of the officer knew the gun wasn't real. My point about Arabs isn't defeated because Arabs don't receive half the vitriol white people when they decide to use common sense policies.

My friend, I have no idea what you're trying prove here.

There are no sizeable diaspora blacks in Arab countries.
Arab countries don't even pretend to be Democratic. So please stop insulting us with this " Arab" deflection of a critical issue.

There was an interesting documentary few weeks ago about white attitudes towards blacks and crime.

About 5 white youths( actors) , dressed in hoodies, were staged on a white neighborhood trashing a car and making a lot of noise.
White folks walked by, looked at the youths , few questioned them, by walked quietly away.

An just few streets away, 4 black youths( actors) were staged inside a car, pretending to be sleeping.

Guess what happened ?

White folks walking by called 911 to report the presence of black youths planning a robbery.

Later, the situations were reversed.
Black youths were staged on the same spot, trashing the same car in the white neighborhood.
Guess what happened? Almost all the white folks walking by called 911 to report the incident to the police.

So you have the same scenario, with black youths and white youths, but the reactions are totally different.
The same goes for the police in the manner that they respond to black youths and crime.

BUHARIISCURSED:
how would investors come when he rules naija like an animal, he fails to understand that investors are wise and are sensitive to what happens in the political environment. commando style would only worsen the situation. Nigeria is officially a failed state

Buhari is killing Nigeria.

KingEbukasBlog:
Oh dear God

A sword as mentioned by Christ does not symbolize violence, a sword severs or divides . This simply means that because he came to earth, some children would be set against parents and parents against their children - this is because many who choose to follow Christ are hated by their family members.

Like I always tell atheists , Christ's teachings of love and peace has always suggested to have supported Pacifism .

What about the time Peter attacked Marcus with his sword and Jesus rebuked him and then healed Marcus' severed ear ?

What about the encounter between Jesus and the adulterous woman ? Where his words "He that is without sin among you , should cast the first stone at her ' saved the life of the adulterous woman about to be stoned .

So Sir , you simply misconstrued those particular verses .

Shut the fucking up.

So all of a sudden a SWORD doesn't mean a SWORD ?

Stop insulting people here.

KingEbukasBlog:
One question sir , please don't evade it , do the teachings of Christ assent to the activities of the crusades or the inquisition , Yes or No ?

Yes.
Mat: 10:35
" Do not assume that I have come to bring peace upon the Earth, No, but a SWORD ".

Luke 12:53
" 'Father will be divided against son and son against father; mother against .... For I have come to turn 'A man against his father, a daughter against her mother, ... "

Now, with just these 2 Bible quotes from Jesus as examples, there is no stronger inspiration and motivation for evil and endless conflict on Earth.

honourhim:
Christianity is liberal and allows people to question its teachings that's why you see what you call division. Even Jesus did not shut his disciples up from questioning him, neither did he shut other people up from questioning his teachings.
We dont operate like secret cults where the bishop is the grand master whose teachings cannot be questioned. If it were so we would ve had only one bishop controlling every Christian across the globe.

Ignorance on display.

Usual disjointed nonsense.

There is a difference between a question and open rebellion.
If there are 32,000 doctrinal differences or schisms within one belief system, it automatically implies that belief system is built on falsehoods, individual whims and pretenses that open constant challenges by the believers.

I guess you are completely ignorant and never heard of the Inquisition, or the crusades, or the Albigensian Crusades that exterminated an entire ethnic group ?
All carried out by the church against other beliefs.

GEJ failed in curbing bokoharam.

Are you saying that judges should have impunity ?

What are you talking about?

Judges should perform their Constitutional roles without interference from the impunity of the executive branch.

Keep it up.

The voices of courage are sadly thinning out in this era of the LOCUSTS.

KimI

Who is talking about Buhari here? Why are you guys always in the forefront of defending corruption?

Did Stella Odua Steal Under Buhari also?

Stella Odua's tenure as aviation minister speaks for itself, especially now, with the current condition of airports around the country.

The campaign of calumny against her is by the same cowardly agents that Calumnise heroes and celebrate fools.

farem:
Did you just say politics 101? Someone the US Senators and ambassadors of great countries are coming just to see his face in Lagos.

Tinubu is rumoured to be a CIA mole. So it's not surprising that if he has a cosy relationships with American political bigwigs.

This is also a fact that I assume Buhari is fully aware of.

You see, in the game of geopolitics, Buhari is supposed to be the dummy, the puppet, and Tinubu is supposed to be his handler.
You can take a horse to water, but you can't force it to drink it.
Also, you can easily put a jacket on monkey, but it's not easy to get it remove it.

NgeneUkwenu:
Why have the Igbos taken it upon themselves to be trumpet and defenders of anybody accused of corruption in this country?

From Bayelsa State to Gombe State, they rise in unison in defending corrupt people....

What have they gained from supporting and defending corrupt people?

Today, the two most Useless politicians ( Wike and FFK) are their idols, who they worship without shame ....

Who did this to my people!

Tufiakwa!

Buhari is actually one of the most corrupt and pretentious hypocrites in Nigeria.

It is on record that Buhari defended the mother of all corruptions in Nigeria, Sani Abacha, because Abacha gave him a blank cheque for PTF funds, and ZERO accountability.
If a proper audit is done on the defunct PTF, someone would be in jail right now.
Guess who?

Nigerian universities have more religious organizations than academic organizations by a factor of 10 to 1.
How is possible to produce thinkers rather than zombies in such environments ?
Until we make our tertiary institutions a no go zone for religious merchants and quacks, we will not enjoy the dynamism and brainthrust that are the hallmarks of institutions of learning.
