Barcanista is now a shadow of his former self. You need to deactivate and start your campaign with a fresh new moniker. You are sounding half as intelligent as you used to be.

MayorofLagos:


Oba Akiolu, Awujale, The Egba Obas, The Ooni council that knighted Jonathan last week.......all are broadly in same position and their actions and statements, whether individually or collectively, is not contradictory to the conclusion just given by Awujale; in that Obas will not tell their domain and people who to vote for. They will give honor to Jonathan, they will honor Buhari...but they believe Jonathan is wasting his and their time by repeatedly visiting one palace after another nudging theKings to get out there and tell people " I want you to vote Jonathan".


All Obas in Yorubaland endorse candidates, this is not a secret.....but they do not campaign or persuade people to vote for them.
You are trying to pull wool over the eyes of the uninformed.

Can you recall the bad blood and animosity generated among the ranking Yoruba Obas sometime ago when Jonathan paid a visit to the Alaafin without extending the same favour to the Olubadan and the Soun of Ogbomosho?

You guys should do some thinking instead of regaling yourselves with cheap propaganda.

It would have been indecorous for Jonathan to have seen the Ooni and other senior Obas without according the same honour to the Awujale, who in his own right is among the frontline traditional rulers in the South West .

BTW I am yet to see how the Awujale's speech indicated his repugnance to Jonathan's bid. The Oba merely spoke like a reasonable father who desisted from displaying favouritism...

MayorofLagos:
Between Feb14th and March 14th, Jonathan has visited Yorubaland six times!

Lol....fire dey burn Jonathan! He has suddenly come to the cognition that those he marginalized are afterall the kingmakers of Nigeria and without their endorsement he stands no chance of victory.

First, the Obas in Egbaland told him to stop calling them to unecessary and unproductive meetings.

Second, the Muslim body in Yorubaland told him they dont need his bribe and its a waste of his time and theirs to invite them to a unproductive meeting.

Now Awujale has told him he is wasting his time paying visits to Obas in Ijebuland, and Yorubaland generally. Go and face the people with your accountability, dont bring your message to Obas, go tell it to the people you ruled for 6years.

There is two weeks to election....Jonathan is confused!

He should go to North, the Emirs might accept his message and help him in their domain.....make sure to take Patience Faka along to greet "troway shildren" along the streets.

He doesn't have to worry about Ezes in the East, they are already bought and in his pocket....there is no negotiation about whether or not they will deliver....their choice is already purchased!

More than well said! The Obas should know they can't convince their household, not to mention their subjects, to vote for our dear outgoing president.

I always see you as someone who is analytical and top notch with his opinions on political issue's. Unfortunately I don't know if it is your defection to the pdp or you just decided on your own to be less rational with your opinion's and to sound more like a political hustler doing his day job.

This is a very enlightened and responsible traditional ruler as compared to contract hungry ones found in lagos. He reminds me of my Great Oba (Oba Akenzua) of benin, those are first class Obas

That's how a traditional ruler should talk.

Traditional rulers in the SE sold their voices even before the campaigns started. That's why no one takes them seriously. "He is our own" is not a valid reason to give support without negotiations especially when facts have shown that the SE received the least support from the FG in the last dispensation.

Then on careful consideration, the question is: Who are the traditional rulers in the SE? A traditional ruler is anyone with enough money to build a few kilometer of roads, make some financial pledges and give some scholarship to 3-4 people in a community. It doesn't matter if he is an armed robber, 419 or a ritualist. If the traditional ruler is still alive, the state government will carve out an autonomous community for the charlatan. Everyone calls him "igwe!".

The peak of insanity was when Arthur Ezeh used to fly traditional rulers from the SE to Abuja to pay obeisance to Abacha and to ask him to perpetuate himself in office in order to continue the good works he was doing. They were paid $15,000 each. SMH. When Abacha died, they couldn't find their voices for years.

At the peak of the campaigns, GEJ is doling out dollars to those that matter. It becomes funny then to hear the SE crying about marginalization in the sharing of the largesse. They are traditional rulers and should have known that who laughs last, laughs best and a patient dog eats the fattest bone. That is the power of negotiation.

The question is: Will they learn? Emotions and politics do not mix well. Ask the Israelites.

I would have loved to go into a detailed argument with you on why Agbaje cannot win Lagos. But as a silent follower of your post. Having read your most recent post's on this forum. Its seems to me that you have lost that rational and analytical perspective you alway's give to topics. Instead you come accros with opinion's based on prejudice and a determination to defend your new party.

All indices favors Agbaje. it is not by propaganda... I won't mind engaging you tho... As for my recent posts, one man's asset is another man's liability

Barcarnista, since u join the bereft world of PDP(as my lovely sister Berem rightfully described u 2 weeks ago), u lost ur sense of reasoning (inductively & deductively). How can think that JK can ever win election as Lagos state governor considering Fashola's outstanding performamnce.

This is true talk by our obas to Mr President, they stand on moral & democratic principles not being compromised like our religious leaders who are blinded with the love of money, they can no longer speak the truth as God servants here on earth. God bless the oba of Ijebuland for speaking out the truth.

You are going back and forth which I don't really fancy.
4. The Primaries in 2007 at the National Stadium(not Onikan) between Koro and Hilda meant different things to both camps. However, George and Koro's political rivalry predated that. I have given you the preamble.

5. Koro never left AD because he couldn't win Primary. He was already a Senator in 2005 and there was the favored PDP's Williams for 2007 Guber. Koro left a comfort zone(AD) to PDP. Again, I don't know why you are keen on what you seem not to have idea of. Agbaje was NEVER Tinubu's boy. That is a farce. Agbaje has been prominent in Afenifere, he never served under Tinubu. He refused the Offer of Senate and Deputy Governor slot by Tinubu in 2007. In fact, he refused any "freebies" from Tinubu.

Koro never ran for 2011, Ade Dosumu did. Dosumu has always been George's boy, he is the man to unseat Remi in the Senate. As for Afikuyomi, he has been Tinubu's associate not boy. I wonder how you define who a boy is... As for Fashola, I won't repeat myself.
I listened to Koro on classic fm on the discuss by Jimi Disu where he referred to Tinubu as his former Boss...saying he was never a Tinubu's boy is what I don't understand
