I am happy with the step Buhari took. June 12 will live forever. He did what selfish Obadanjo could not do for eight years. it is disgraceful that only a Hausa man could do what a Yoruba man should have done since.... Shame to Babangida. Abacha. Abdusalam Obadanjo Yatdua Good luck who did not take this step earlier....... if Baba Adebanjo is not excited that is his business... What did Obasanjo do on economy and restructure for eight wasteful years he spent as president? what did he do for Yoruba's as a nation? Yoruba has wasted it's tenure. Let give Buhari support to prove what he can do for Nigerians....... Finally regardless of what anybody may say..June 12 has replaced May 29 which has less value than historic June 12

...it's only an ignoramus who doesn't know that PMB recognition of Abiola was only to spite OBJ and IBB who has been seriously criticizing him lately. The recognition was not born out of love for the Yoruba's or to honour what Abiola stood for. If you know, you know.

6Ebisco:
A chieftain of Afenifere, Chief Ayo Adebanjo says he and other leaders are not impressed by President Muhammadu Buhari’s declaration that June 12 will henceforth replace May 29 as Nigeria’s Democracy Day in honour of the late Chief Moshood Abiola.

He also stated that they were also not excited about the conferment of the award of Grand Commander of the Federal Republic, GCFR, on the late businessman.

The elder statesman said this in a chat with Punch.

He said: “But if he (Buhari) has now done it because the presidential election is coming, well, he cannot bamboozle anybody with that. What we are saying is that if he wants to honour the memory of Abiola and June 12, he should implement what June 12 stands for, which is good governance and democracy.

“He should restructure the country before the elections to show his genuineness and not just be playing to the gallery. This is because all that June 12 stands for is democracy and good governance. It is not about people being killed right, left and centre and pretending that you don’t know what is happening.

“It is not people being killed every day and after three months, you now wake up and say you are beefing up security. People have been complaining about the awkwardness of the lopsided appointments of heads of security agencies since you came into office, but it was not until now that the vice president (Prof. Yemi Osinbajo) said, “Oh yes, we are going to review it” – because election is approaching.

“We are no fools in this country. He should know that many of us have not got cattle brain, we are well educated and we know what we want. Nobody can come and bamboozle us because elections are coming. It is just like he said in 2015 that he was a born-again democrat. Now, he has shown us that he is a dictator. We are not moved by it. It is a welcome idea and yes, it is a thing that ought to have been done. But that he is now doing it because elections are coming, I am not excited by that at all.”

bullahit which Yoruba elders..I a am Yoruba and I'm highly impressed. It doesn't matter what time he chooses to do it. The fact that he had the courage and political will to do is enough for me. Who impression helped. Who Yoruba elders helped.

What have you gotten from the present administration to proof them wrong?

At least they are not sharing dollar to those rogues who call themselves elders. To hell with them..

We all know that you are one of the ignorant paid zombies shouting sai baba upadan.

Here is evid3nce that Buhari was the one who dumps the confab report

http://www.punchng.com/news/president-dumps-national-conference-report-source/

Show us your own evidence claiming that GEJ dumped the confab report.

If you don't know, GEJ has already initiates steps towards implementing the confab report but elections were close which he lost.

So why has ur hero and saint dumped the confab report?

Losers' pathetic excuse. As I said before, tell me just one report that was submitted to Jona and he implemented throughout his five years.

Obj and ibb can kill themselves. Who cares. It has bin declared already

Whether he posted the true picture of how it is or just the product of his imagination, the truth is every tribe in Nigeria has intra tribe problem. So, his post was as useless as appendix.

I do not want to go into sentimental argument. But just to correct the medical opinion you included.

Appendix is not useless. It is a store for good gut bacteria. In the past and in many third world countries still, diarrhoeal illnesses are still common including dysentery. Such illnesses flush out good gut bacteria. After the illness, good bacteria repopulate the gut from the appendix.
Good gut bacteria are very important part of the immune system. We now know gut bacteria play many important roles in the body, including preventing obesity.

Decades ago doctors thought that Thymus gland had no function and "useless like appendix". I listened attentively when an eminent surgeon (prof) recounted how in the 1950s they (as young Oxbridge surgeons back then) jokingly discussed how anyone who finds out the function of thymus gland would win the Nobel Prize for medicine. Years later people did and got the Nobel Prize for medicine! Niels J. Kerne got Nobel Prize for it in 1984 and sharing it with Koehler & Milstein for immune system research.

Thymus gland trains and develops T-lymphocytes, crucial immune system cells. The immune system by puberty has developed and thymus gland shrivels to mere fatty tissue. Now even more important with HIV effect on T-cells. CD4+ T-cell count now important in HIV/AIDS management.

Babies born without a thymus gland (as in DiGiorge Syndrome) didn't usually live up to 3 years! Thymus gland transplant now seen as a great way to manage it.

Nonsense old age dey worry him.buhari has done well and he deserve second time.

No. No bi only SECOND TIME, na SHORT TIME him deserve.

The IPOIBOS are really the vomit cum excreta of thLucifer They would rather forgo morning devotion just so they could launder their hateful sermons. No wonder early morning mass across the landscape is experiencing a decline in attendance. For the few that do attend, Nairaland has taken the place of the Bible.

they are all same.

Keep your love to yourself as you ponder the lower status your tribe have taken on in recent times.

Only a nitwit will translate Buhari's declaration to mean love for Yoruba race or that he believes in June 12. The constitution is clear on who is entitled to GCFR.
Buhari is only interested in dividing the South West ahead of the 2019 election and also to humiliate Obasanjo and rubbish his opposing stand against the govt. but unfortunately for him we re more intellectually sophisticated than his almajiri-self would ever imagine.

If the federal govt wants to bestow a deserving honour on Abiola; the election results of June 12, 1993 must be made known; he should be declared a President that never emerged, and be given every recognition and privileges entitled to a President, and the FG should declare June 12 public holiday afterwards.

This is an omo oodua that can not be pushed around,much respect to him. What buhari did is like a guy who just wants to sleep with a loosed and easy woman,all it will take is to entice her with some money.

drlateef:
Nobody denies that restructuring and good governance is needed. Even Buhari admitted he is not a saint. But to have declared June 12 as democracy day and acknowledged what Babanhida did as robbery and disgraced Obasanjo as dishonest Yoruba is a good gesture and must be commended. Buhari has performed better than all previous PDP governments in just his three years in office. The truth cannot be wished away because of hatred. Yes, Buhari has been slow in making major decisions, but he is far better than all the others before him. What Nigeria lacked most in leadership was integrity and uprightness. Corruption is the most important of all our illness. When this is curbed, a better leader will emerge in future who will build on his legacies and improve the system further. It is evil to wish that the years of Jonathan and Obasanjo in government should continue. When we weep, we still see what is coming forth (a proverb). Those who benefit from the rot will never see anything good in Buhari, but intelligent and pragmatic minds will see the vision in my statements. That's how Tinubu started the legacy in Lagos. He was also accused of several shortcomings in his administration. But what do we have now? A system of continuity and hardwork, coupled with vision has been projecting Lagos to greater heights. To build a house is not easy, to destroy it is a child's play.

There's no element of truth in all you've said. How did Buhari perform better when the price of everything on the market has skyrocketed unlike in Jonathan days? He did not believe in subsidy; he even said that it was scam, but he was secretly paying for subsidy without its appropriation from the National Assembly. Worst of it all, he still hiked the price of fuel even when the price of crude oil had fallen then in the international market.

The SGF was corrupt; he ate the money earmarked for the IDPs, but even till this day, he's still walking free. Let me tell you: days of OBJ and Jonathan were far better than that of Buhari administration. In fact, it's an insult to OBJ and Jonathan to compare their administrations with that of Baba go-slow. I saw on Wikipedia that his nickname is Baba Go-Slow, and i pricked myself and said: 'a man with this kind of nickname should not have been voted for'.

Let me tell you: Buhari has no integrity and uprightness. If he were upright, he wouldn't have told Trump that Libyan Militia was the cause of the killings in the middle belt, even when he knows the killings were and are still being perpetrated by Fulani herdsmen withe the connivance of the military. If he were upright, he wouldn't have said he borrowed money to buy his presidential nomination ticket from the APC; his son would not have ridden a multi million bike; he wouldn't be travelling abroad for a medical check-up as he promised in his electioneering manifestos that he would revive our hospitals.

In fact, there are so many things wrong with Buhari Administration. This is an administration of propaganda, lies, unending blame games, corruption-filled while claiming to be innocent, tribalistic, nepotistic and grossly incompetent and clueless.

Maybe you're blind, otherwise you ought to have known that this declaration of June 12 as a democracy day and simultaneous conferment of GCFR to Abiola has a political undertone - that it was done with 2019 presidential election in mind so that Yorubas will vote for him.

I do not like buhari

Even tho I am part his kinsman

Something about him seems off

I was on the streets of ikoyi drunk as f.uck just before the last elections

I was shouting like a mad man lol warning my brothers about buhari

I also told the igbos and south south people Jonathan made himself unnattractive to the west because our igbo brothers poisoned his mind against yorubas

Yorubas were in limbo, in the middle and stuck

We swung towards buhari

A grave error

You got it all wrong sir, pls let's stop here.
Let's compare our personal and individuals success.
Let's not fight for politicians that are corrupt, greedy and selfish only want their own good and that of their families , who don't care about us.
P.S
Our kids will question us if Government and politicians fails us and we are celebrating and following them blindly.
SHALOM.

One thing i know is that Afenifere has lost its relevance in South West polity since d last days of Pa Ayo Adesanya...they no longer have d power or influence to sway South West voters.

That bn said, Buhari will have his way with d Yorubas simply because the South West has never had it better since d return of democracy to Nigeria.


The projects that had bn abandoned by successive govts are now bn completed and new ones started...Key MDAs are now bn headed by Yorubas...plus d Yorubas have d no2 citizen-d one they voted for, not d betrayer d northern elites used to placate d West for June 12.

Cornerstone2020:
A Yoruba Muslim could not be this bold and wise

the different between the afonjas and abokis is not big.

Omoboricash:

These are are so called leaders that sees nothing when Jonathan relegated Yoruba nation. [b]No Yoruba representative in key position during Jonathan era [/b]yet they support him bcoz dollars exchange hands. Obj held Lagos allocation for 4years yet they did not condemn it, obj was their for 8years he never mentioned or recognised MKO struggle and he was beneficiary of June 12 struggles. The so called afenifere did not see any wrong in it. We know what u stand for baba. Major mustapha has exposed you all. How dollars exchange hands when Abioka died. May spirit of June 12 hunt you all till u all confess your role

Did Jonathan cause it? Your own representatives especially Gbajabiamila fought against that Yoruba woman from being the Speaker of House of Reps even when Jonathan was in support of that woman. Lies don't last forever; stop it. So, all you want is for your people to occupy enviable posts to the detriment of Nigeria's growth and development.
