Between Lere Olayinka And Governor Alex Otti by seunmsg(op): 6:45pm On Jul 20, 2025
"I write opinions that are published in newspapers, can I call myself a journalist?"

That's the question Abia State Governor, Dr Alex Otti asked me yesterday, to which I responded, "You are an Opinion Writer or at best, a Columnist Sir."

"But Lere, if I speak against Wike, don't come after me oo," to which I just laughed and responded, "I can't guarantee that Your Excellency...." 😂😂😂😂

Humorous and down-to-earth, thanks for your words of encouragement Your Excellency.

Sometimes I wonder where people like you emerge from. Everything is viewed through a déspîcable political, tribál and ethnîc lens... always we versus them.

Lere Olayinka is from Ekiti and Rufai Oseni is from Ogun state. So, where is the ethnic and tribal lens coming from?

My poor friend that year. You abandoned this handle when you couldn’t fulfill the terms of the wager you boastfully made. Now you want to educate me about journalism. Why not start by fulfilling the terms of the wager. I can still bring up the thread if you want to deny.

I guess you didn’t see the 'political', and you definitely missed the 'we versus them'.

But sure, keep clutching to state of origin as your last line of defence. Ethnic bias isn’t always about where someone is from. it’s about the lens they choose to view others through.

Trying to be clever by half only exposes the half you didn’t think through

Pms is selling at an average price of 890 all over the country and not 1000. That notwithstanding, no region is responsible for the current price of pms. The increase in price from what it was in the early months of 2023 to the current price is simply as a result of removal of subsidy and floating of exchange rate. In simple terms , it is the result of government’s policy decision. A very good decision at that considering Nigeria’s economic realities.

Again, there is no greedy region as every Nigerian as the right to legitimately aspire to any political office. It is a constitutional right. If the candidate from your region was defeated at the polls, accept defeat in good faith and stop blaming the region the victorious candidate came from. Tell your candidate to be more strategic and acceptable nationally next time.

Shameless man who is employed by another man to abuse other people. A journalist in politics, who has nothing to offer other than to wait for the crumbs of abuses. When Fayose was out of office, he became jobless until Fayose contracted him to Wike to continue his job as an abusive journalist.

Simple question: why did you resist the effort of GEJ to remove fuel subsidy? It would have been a simple adjustment from 87 to 120, with some human face. If the BAT and Buhari, along with their cohorts did not resist the effort, would the country be grappling with such level of misery by now? The same fuel subsidy that BAT called evil, has become his instrument to make the economy better. After wasting 10 years, he brought untold hardship on the citizens.

Please be honest with yourself.

Sometimes I wonder why ppl fight over politicians.
Not one can be singled out as been exceptional.
And when they meet they jester together forgetting their rivalry.
This shows most banters here on nairaland are ethnical. And it's worrisome

2023 we were deceived, I regretted ever campaigning for that Agulu fraud, seeing how his mob threatened and Harass anyone with contrary opinion,

2027, we won't make that mistake again. Make obi come southwest this time around, we go see how many vote he'll get. Now it's going to madness for madness

I was part of June 12 1993, when Bashorun MKO Abiola (GCFR) won...but Daniel Kanu, Arthur Nzeribe and Humphrey Nwosu, your kinsmen, frustrated his effort (Daniel Kanu was campaigning profusely for abacha; Nwosu was a coward and couldn't declare the result; Nzeribe...that one...not worthy of my mention).

I was part of 2023 elections, voted, and was happy about the result (what about you...were you happy or have been wailing since).


I will also be part of 2027 elections when Tinubu will start his second term as the president of the federal Republic of Nigeria, by the grace of the Almighty God. Amen.

Where will you be grin

I guess you will be in one anambra village, typing and abusing Tinubu and the Yoruba behind your techno phone grin

Let me know when the punk answers. That is if he ever does. And asking a person who is deliberately supporting nonsense to "be honest with yourself" is an impossible request. I wish you the best... grin
