Politics / The Greatest Danger To Southern Nigeria Are The Sai Barbarians by Purplebirdrep: 6:58am On Jun 12, 2016
The Greatest Danger To Southern Nigeria Are The Sai Barbarians [MUST READ]

Charles Ogbu explores the social online behaviour of Muhammadu Buhari’s supporters from southern Nigerians tagged Sai Barbarians by Dr. Omotoso. People who see and hear no evil in anything Buhari, but see all evil in fellow Southerners.




I am not a religious man but I believe the authors of the Bible had southern Nigeria in mind while penning down this verse, “the greatest enemies of a man are often from his own household,” in Matthew 10:36.
The greatest threat facing southern Nigeria is not Buhari and his Northernization agenda. It is not even the menace of the Fulani terrorists neither is it the activities of the Sai Barbarians (apologies to Dr. Omotoso ) or the Muslim mobs who kill at the slightest provocation in Northern Nigeria.
The biggest problem bedeviling southern Nigeria is the presence of a very large horde of unthinking politically correct idiots masquerading as intellectuals.
The greatest enemies of a man are often from his own household ~~Matthew 10:36
To this set of Sai Barbarians, also known as ‘efulefus’, Ekiti state governor was wrong in taking measures to protect his people by banning open grazing of cattle in his state but they will never condemn their slave masters up North for banning sale of alcohol even when they receive the lion-share from the revenue generated from that alcohol sales in the country.
“Niger Delta Avengers are criminals”, “government should not negotiate with them”, they argue. But these clowns will maintain sealed lips when you remind them that the Fulani President Buhari has budgeted one billion naira for grazing reserve for the world’s fourth deadliest terror group the Fulani herdsmen and another billions for the deadliest terror group – Boko Haram.



These two terrorist groups both share the same religion and ancestry with President Buhari and are responsible for the death of thousands of Nigerians and displacement of millions. Today, they are being rewarded rather than punished for their heinous crimes.
But to this efulefu Southerners, a group of Niger Delta boys using violence (which is the only language the Nigeria state understands) to demand for resource control is the biggest threat facing this country. Nonsense!!
Why should Niger Delta oil money be used to fund the private cattle rearing business of Buhari brothers even when nothing was allocated for the victims of their mindless bloodletting nor was any incentive like fertilizer subsidy provided for farmers whose crops and lands have all been destroyed by the Fulani herdsmen?
Which injustice could be worse than this?
The politically correct southern idiots will evade this and concentrate on IPOB and the NDA. How do I begin to explain to them that it is grave acts of injustice such as these that gave rise to agitation by the Avengers and IPOB in the first place?
As I type this, there is a very comprehensive report released by human rights group, Intersociety, and published on The Trent detailing cases of murder of hundreds of IPOB and MASSOB members by uniformed thugs masquerading as Nigeria security agents. These southern traitors will never go anywhere near that report. They will pretend they never saw it, or the abridged version on Premium Times, or the confirming report on Amnesty International. But the moment they hear that an IPOB guy attacked a policeman, they will come out from their witch coven and regale us with tales of how the Biafra agitators were responsible for the 1st world war. Idiots!
These are the idiots who hailed a judge for refusing to grant Olisa Metuh’s request to go treat his spinal cord problem abroad but found nothing wrong in another judge granting a Fulani man from Sokoto, a former Governor Attahiru Baffarawa’s request to go spend one month abroad for prayers.
Ask this set of morons who the sponsors of the Niger Delta Avengers are and they will quickly point accusing fingers at Southern politicians. Meanwhile, they never believed that the political wing of Boko Haram was created and financed by northern elements to wrestle political power from the south.
When Northerners were harboring Boko Haram suspects, these guys were advising the military to work to earn their trust rather than use force but today, these same shameless bunch are clapping for the military as they continue to arrest, detain, and humiliate Niger Delta royal fathers in their quest to arrest members of the Niger Delta Avengers.
This is the same group that justified the murder of unarmed IPOB guys praying inside the school field of Ngwa high school in Abia state on February 9, 2016. They argued that the dead guys were miscreants and as such, they deserve death. I have names of two of my Facebook friends who specifically used this line.
Quite frankly, I am more comfortable having dangerous reptiles around me than these set of guys. With dangerous reptiles, I know I would be fine so long as I don’t step on them or threaten them in any way but with these guys around, I am really not sure of anything.
I’m sure you guys won’t believe this but trust me, some of these zombified southerners will gladly clap for Buhari even if he decides to use chemical weapon on southerners.
If I were to choose between killing a heavily armed terrorist and one of these self hating southern traitors, I sure know what my choice would be.
And yes! I hate those Southern bastards. Bleep political correctness!! Any man who would unjustly take the side of the strong against the weak is my enemy. I detest those who support injustice and oppression. I loathe those who invent excuses to justify murder of unarmed protesters. And sadly enough, about 80% of southerners who support this government fall within this category.
If I had the means, I would round up these guys in chains and use them as human collateral to borrow one billions naira from one of those mushroom micro finance banks.

Politics / #‎ojudu‬: The Hypocrisy Of A Famed Progressive Senator Babafemi Ojudu by Purplebirdrep: 10:29pm On Jun 11, 2016
#‎Ojudu‬: The hypocrisy of a famed progressive

Senator Babafemi Ojudu representing Ekiti Central in National Assembly is a renowned propagandist who derives pleasure in attacking those against his selfish interest. Anything done by others is insignificant as far as Ojudu is concerned.
However, to those outside Ekiti most especially the international community, Ojudu is a responsible man who has contributed marvelously to the development of Ekiti.
To those who reads Ojudu's piece daily on social and print media, the Ado-Ekiti born trained Journalist is an erudite scholar that has emancipated the poverty ridden Ekiti people from the bondage of poverty, squalor and starvation.
Country people, yesterday, Ojudu exploded that poverty has economically affected the reasoning of Ekiti people. Mr. Senator is entitled to his opinion but as a leader, I am going to ask Ojudu some questions.
Now, i ask, as a Senator, what has Ojudu done for the downtrodden in Ekiti State? As a Senator, how has he ameliorated the sufferings of his nuclear and extended family members?
As a Senator for almost four years, I can expressly and explicitly say that the only physical achievement of Ojudu till date was the Mobile Clinic he purportedly purchased for his constituents.
The mobile clinic has never served any of his constituents since it was bought.
The mobile clinic had been dumped in front of Ojudu's residence along Iworoko road, Ado-Ekiti since May 2013.
Ojudu evacuated the mobile clinic from the front of his house on April 7th this year. It has been rusting inside the heat of scotching sun for twenty six months.
(one of the attached pictures is the mobile clinic. The photograph was taken today).
Ojudu said poverty has affected the reasoning of Ekiti people. I but I make bold to avow that Ojudu was one of those who institutionalized poverty in Ekiti.
For the four years that his party, the APC held insignia of power in Ekiti State, no measure was taken to demystify poverty to a bearest minimum. Instead, Ojudu and his party bigwigs lives in affluence while their people wallows in the euphoria of poverty.
Ojudu has built houses in Abuja, Magodo, Lagos, Portharcourt; investigation reveals that Ojudu has more than 100 plots of land in Ado-Ekiti and Lagos respectively.
To further show how irresponsible Ojudu was, his late father, Pa. Jimoh Ojudu died on May 13, 2012 after bedridden for years without medical attention. Ojudu became Senator in 2011.
Until his death, the late Jimoh Ojudu lives at N0. 6, Odundun Street, Dalimore, Ado-Ekiti (The building in the picture attached to this piece is where Senator Ojudu father lives until his death. The disgusting mausoleum in front of this building was that of Ojudu's late mother, Madam Radiat).
Ojudu has been very irresponsible to his nuclear family. His first wife, Shade has been abandoned by him. The woman is the current Secretary to the Dean, School of Post Graduate Studies, University of Lagos.
Still on the miserable life his late father lives, the third attached picture in this piece is the current gory condition of the toilet and bathroom of his father's house at Odundun area, Dallimore, Ado-Ekiti.
To show how hypocritical he is, Ojudu once said that only lazy people run for elective Political positions. Two years after making the affirmation known, he ran for Senate. He ensured that his party was destroyed for him to have his way.
Also, Ojudu said during his electioneering campaign that distributing Okada to youths is a crime against humanity, however, the first largesse he gave to youths when he became senator were fairly used motorcycles bought from the Republic of Benin.
Ojudu's only physical achievement as a senator was the now rusted mobile clinic he claimed he bought for his constituents. Ojudu and his party planted poverty in Ekiti. He opened the can of worm, now, he get it.
Watch out for more.
Sunshine Anifowose, Ado-Ekiti.

Heard that Senator Babafemi Ojudu is denying that he did not call Ekiti State House of Assembly member, Wale Ayeni today, to enlist his support for a possible removal of Governor Fayose.

Here is the SCREEN GRAB of Hon Wale Ayeni's call records showing Senator Babafemi Ojudu's call at 11.07am and another missed call at 11.08am today.

Hon Wale Ayeni called Ojudu at 12:38pm when he was with Gov Fayose and placed him (Ojudu) on SPEAKER PHONE. Ojudu was not aware that everything that he said was to Governor Fayose's hearing.

Can this rebel change his ways?

Politics / Babafemi Ojudu Always Lead Rebellion Against Ekiti And Its People by Purplebirdrep: 5:33pm On Jun 11, 2016
#Alert: Devil Like Human (Esu bi eeyan), Senator  Babafemi Gani-Efon Ojudu at it again!#


At exactly 11:07am today, SENATOR FEMI  OJUDU called a member of the Ekiti State House of Assembly, Hon Wale Ayeni, asking him to come for a meeting in Abuja.

Ojudu wants Wale Ayeni to act as a MOLE in the House of Assembly and woo his other loyal colleagues to join rebellion against Governor Fayose.

Wale Ayeni, upon receiving the call drove straight to Governor Fayose where he called Ojudu back at exactly 12.38pm to make him repeat himself. Unknown to Ojudu, he was on SPEAKER PHONE where Governor Fayose and others heard all that he (Ojudu) said.

The governor just laughed and said "this Ojudu can never change."

Shouldn't this failed senator try something new? Must he always lead rebellion against Ekiti and its people?

Ojudu called Wale Ayeni with 08055002051.

Senator Elesu Gani-Efon Femi Ojudu, Hon Wale Ayeni said I should tell you that;
"Never again will what happened in 2006 repeat itself in our set of honourables. Ojudu Ole, Esu lehin ibeji. FAYOSE/PDP FOREVER IN EKITI." - Lere Olayinka.

Politics / Ekiti Workers Strike: Our Position On A Day Like This, We, The Students Of Ekit by Purplebirdrep: 3:59pm On May 31, 2016
EKITI WORKERS STRIKE: OUR POSITION

On a day like this, we, the students of Ekiti State standing under the umbrella of the Federation of Ekiti State Students Union (FESSU) have deemed it necessary to express our solidarity to the State Government and at the same time appeal to the labour leaders to embrace dialogue in resolving the current misunderstanding between labour and the government.

It is our understanding that the present economic crisis in Ekiti State was not created by the present government. Rather, it is a combination of the profligacy of the immediate past government in the State and the federal government lack of solution to the country’s economic problems.

Even though we sympathise with our parents who are the workers that are no longer receiving their salary regularly and we make bold to say that we, the students are also being affected, truth must however be told, and the truth is that Governor Ayodele Fayose cannot be blamed for non-payment of workers salary.

It is on record that Governor Fayose was paying workers salary and deductions regularly until allocation from Abuja reduced to less than N1bn per month. This month, Ekiti got N751 million!

We are also aware that Labour leaders and other stakeholders are part of the committee that allocate the State monthly allocation from Abuja whenever it is received and details of money coming to the State are known to the labour leaders.

Most importantly, in the Southwest, Ekiti is one of the States that owe the least salary – some States have been paying half salary without deductions for close to one year.

To us in FESSU, labour leaders in Ekiti State should rather confront the Federal Government that has crippled the nation’s economy and the immediate past government that plunged the State into debt.

For instance, if the deductions being made monthly from allocation coming to Ekiti State from Abuja as debt repayment are not being made, Ekiti State monthly income will still be close to N2bn even in the face of the economic recession.

Too bad, the labour leaders kept silent when inspite of the Oil Windfall of over N46bn received by the immediate past government, the government went on borrowing spree, taking over N30bn Commercial Loan and N25bn Bond.

Perhaps, if the workers had protested then, Ekiti State won’t be in the financial mess that it is today.

It is therefore in view of the realities that we can all see that we are urging the labour leaders to dialogue with the State Government with a view to resolving the current impasse. Confrontation will not work at this time!

We also wish to remind the Governor of the requests of the students, especially provision of Union Bus and payment of bursary that we presented to him and his promise to look into them as the economy of the State improves.

Politics / I Can't Stop Workers From Going On Strike, This Are Perilous Times -fayose Ekit by Purplebirdrep: 5:21pm On May 26, 2016
I can't stop workers from going on strike, this are perilous times -Fayose

Ekiti State Governor, Mr. Ayodele Fayose yesterday in an interview session with press men spoke on salient issues affecting the state, top of which is the inability of the government to meet its obligation in the area of salary payment. Excerpts...

His reaction to the possibility of Ekiti workers going on strike any moment from now:

I want to make some clarification particularly on issues that affects the welfare of our workers. I want to say very expressly that workers are the engine room of government and they deserve all the encouragement but currently we are in crisis financially, the average wage bill in terms of payment of workers is between 2.5 to 2.6billion which includes parastatals, university, college of education and all that.

And since I became governor I have always put this before the leadership of labour, each time they give us a figure from Abuja, I give the paper to them for them to share and bring it for signature.

obviously at some point we all realized that there was nothing to share or probably for what we earn when you are to pay 2.5 or 2.6 billion as wage bill and you now get 1billion, you get 800million, you get 1.2billion, there is nothing to share.

So rotating an alternating payment in terms of paying the university, the college of education, higher institution and so on, we pay them this month and pay the major work force next month.

That has been the practice and we work with a technical committee of labour and government, we meet monthly to disburse. I want to tell u very expressly that it has not been easy.

As it is, last month I got about 850million, the month before which was the month of March I got 1.1billion, February I got about 1.2billion and in December I got about 1.3billion, it has not been easy and I want to say very expressly that I am owing four months salary and with the month of May it will be five months.

This is not about Ekiti alone, all states reasonably are affected by this development irrespective of which governor, which party controls that state. So as it is, I am doing my best within the ambits of availability.

You will recall that I took over a debt profile of commercial loan of over 31billion where deductions are made from source and apart from the commercial loan we have the bond by the last administration as a result, it is difficult for me to sustain the salaries. Ekiti has the least in Nigeria in terms of IGR(internally generated revenue) and most of the times if you don't pay, if you pay the basic it means you don't expect tax next month, that has been the style, that has been the situation.

Right now I am helpless and that is the fact. Yesterday, the 25th of this month, the commissioner for finance called me that we got 751million which is one third or one quarter of the wage bill. So I need to set this record straight, I have been guided and being careful and that is why most of the time when workers doesn't come to work, I don't have the morals to go and stop them from coming late or not coming to work because when you don't pay wages you are handicapped to enforce discipline in the people.

As it is, I am doing my best on the needful but it is difficult for me to sell myself or my wife or sell my property, it is a trying time for our state and for Nigeria, I can only deploy what I get from Abuja within available resources, we are trying our best to improve on the internally generated revenue. You will discover that it is very difficult to squeeze water from a dry tissue paper.

You can't get money when people don't get wages, when the money doesn't circulate, when business are not running, taking IGR from them will be a bit difficult. As it is, this is the position, I just want the public, the workers to understand that it's in my priority to make them very comfortable, apart from wages, it is the responsibility of government to provide electricity,it is the responsibility of government to provide security, to provide for the less privileged, water among others. This has been very difficult, even in government house most of the times we don't have diesel to power generators, so we have to move to the office during office hours and when we move home, we use generator for the government house.

It's been very tough and that's the position but I can't stop workers from going on strike, if you want to go on strike I can't stop you, I can only give explanation which I have given and the best I could do is what I can do. So I sympathise with them but I am helpless, if you want to go on strike, we will be waiting when they will come back.

On his message for the Labour leaders who were threatening to strike:

It is not about threatening, what you have is what you can give, we do this meeting together Technical Committee every month, they have facts more than myself but I don't want to join issues, I appreciate their patience, I appreciate their situation, the same situation they are in is the same situation I am in. So I want to say very clearly, even if you hate the labor force, will you hate the political leaders and political class, No!

His plea to them:

The plea is to all see reasons with the present situation, it is a situation beyond anybody and everybody. If you go to Osun State, go to Ogun, go to Oyo, most states don't even have commissioners, they don't have means, so I won't blame anybody, the financial situation I have said it long ago that this time shall come, this are very perilous times, difficult times, I share the pains of the common people in our society, it is not right time to be governor I must confess to you.

Capital projects despite paucity of funds:

Some ask me, but you are doing some capital project like the fly over, and the new market, yes! I said it, I made it public a year ago that the federal government arranged a loan for each state for 10billion which must be attached to capital project in each state. I made it public in one of 'The Governor Speaks', and I have attached the flyover, the new market and one other project, I have attached that money to them. The money goes to them from source, so this is to clarify the misrepresentation regarding the projects, it is not as if we have the money in our coffers, the money is with the banks and they pay contractors directly. In fact, there are a lot of agreements signed by contractors that won the projects before they can get the money and it is being regulated by the [truncated by WhatsApp]9

Politics / Ekiti APC Youths Condemn Party Leaders’ Silence Over Fulani Herdsmen Attack by Purplebirdrep: 7:33pm On May 24, 2016
Ekiti APC Youths Condemn Party Leaders’ Silence Over Fulani Herdsmen Attack

Some youths in the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the State, under
the aegis of Ekiti APC Youths Congress (EAYC) have condemned leaders
of the party in the State for keeping silent over the attack on
Oke-Ako, Ikole Local Government Area of the State by Fulani herdsmen
that left two people dead and several others injured.
In a press statement issued in Ado-Ekiti on Tuesday and jointly signed
by Mr Tope Ogunkuade and Comrade Tunji Adeleye, Convener and Secretary
respectively, the EAYC said it was painful that APC as party was yet
to speak out to condemn killing of fellow indigenes of Ekiti State.

The youths said support for President Mohammadu Buhari should not
becloud the party’s sense of reasoning and patriotism towards Ekiti
and its people.

They commended the State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose for taking a bold
and decisive step towards curbing the menace of the Fulani herdsmen.
The youths said; “We wonder how leaders of party think. How can they
keep silent when their fellow Ekiti indigenes are being killed by
Fulani herdsmen just because they don’t want to offend President
Buhari?

“Can APC leaders in the north keep silent if Yorubas were the ones
killing their people?
“We seem not to understand why our party have not seized this
opportunity to show that we are still on the side of Ekiti people. If
Ekiti indigenes were killed by Fulani herdsmen and our party did not
say anything just because President Buhari is a Fulani man, it remains
to be seen how Ekiti people can trust our party.

“We are therefore challenging our party leaders, especially the
Spokesperson, Taiwo Olatunbosun to also condemn this killing of our
people by Fulani herdsmen because being the opposition party in the
State should just be about criticising Governor Fayose alone.

Our
party too must stand with the people.”

Politics / Fayose Blames Buhari For Cameron’s ‘fantastically Corrupt’ Statement by Purplebirdrep: 1:50pm On May 17, 2016
Fayose blames Buhari for Cameron’s ‘fantastically corrupt’ statement

Ekiti State Governor Ayodele Fayose has said President Mohammadu Buhari’s utterances outside Nigeria was the reason the British Prime Minister, David Cameron, described Nigeria as “fantastically corrupt,” saying; “What do you expect from the international community when the president of a nation keeps going abroad to say that his people are corrupt?”

He said it was annoying that President Buhari said he was embarrassed and shocked by Cameron’s comment, adding that instead of telling Nigerians that he was shocked, the president should apologise to Nigerians for demarketing the country and his people.

The governor, who spoke through his Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka said it was on record that in February this year, President Buhari said in United Kingdom that, “Nigerians’ reputation for crime has made them unwelcome in Britain” and went on to warn Nigerians to stop trying to make asylum claims in Britain, saying that their reputation for criminality has made it hard for them to be accepted abroad.

He said; “When a president mounts the podium in foreign lands and gleefully says that his own people are criminals, that they are corrupt and that those abroad should be sent back home, why won’t presidents of other countries brand all citizens of such a country as fantastically corrupt?

“Rather than this grandstanding from the presidency, conceited efforts should be made to redeem the image of Nigeria that the president has destroyed.”

Governor Fayose, who said he was not against the anti-corruption efforts of the federal government, added that all he was saying was that it should be done in accordance with the laws of the country and that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) must stop behaving as if it is above the law.

While describing the remand order reportedly granted to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to detain the former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode indefinitely as a show of judicial rascality, the governor said; “it is worrisome that some court magistrates, especially in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) have turned themselves into allies of the EFCC in its persecution of Nigerians who are opposed to President Mohammadu Buhari’s anti-people policies.”
He cautioned court magistrates in the country,
especially those in the FCT against the continuous disobedience to the directive of the Chief Judge of the FCT, Justice Ishaq Bello that they should desist from granting remand orders to the EFCC to detain suspects indefinitely, saying; “It now appears that these magistrates are operating as if they are superior to the FCT Chief Judge.”

Justice Bello had said during his visit to the Keffi Medium Prison in Keffi, Nasarawa State that; “I understand that EFCC has been bringing some cases to you and you have been granting them remand orders. You must no longer do this from today.

He noted that “it is obvious that the EFCC is either corrupting the magistrates to obtain the remand orders or they are being blackmailed and coerced by the anti-corruption agency.”

Governor Fayose said; “In saner climes, anti-corruption agencies don’t go about arresting suspects, detaining them arbitrarily and coercing them to make statements implicating themselves. Rather, anti-corruption agencies must have gotten all they needed to prosecute a suspect before arresting him.

“It is even more questionable that the court order secured by the EFCC to detain Fani-Kayode indefinitely was gotten barely 24 hours after the former minister was granted administrative bail by the same EFCC.
“How can someone be granted administrative bail and while he was trying to meet the bail conditions, the EFCC clandestinely rushed to a magistrate court to secure an order to detain him indefinitely? Isn’t that a clear show of executive rascality?”

Politics / New Generation Should Take Over PDP, Build It – Fayose” by Purplebirdrep: 10:35am On May 14, 2016
New generation should take over PDP, build it – Fayose”


The governor of Ekiti state, Ayodele Fayose has stated that the despite some of the problems the party seem to be facing at the moment, its national convention slated for May 21, 2016 in Portharcourt, Rivers.

Governor Fayose who was responding to the purported dissolution of the National Working Committee of the party by a group of concerned party members led by Professor Jerry Gana, insisted that those against the leadership of Senator Ali Modu Sheriff have lost relevance in the party as they no longer have fresh ideas to bring forward.

According to governor Fayose, “politics and governance is crisis management. Have you seen a party that is not in crisis when it comes to interest and leveraging of interests? Politics is about interests.

Are you saying that you will call somebody in the village to come and take a position? That era is gone.

You have to struggle, you have to make efforts and show that you actually need that position.

Before now, a lot of the people that were in party positions were unwilling characters. Now willing characters are coming out that is why you see the struggle that much.

As a result, a lot of people will be displaced or feel displaced. A lot of people are feeling displayed but it is not displacement as it were. “As I have always said, elders are wonderful people but they should take the back seat. We won’t say they should go.

They should take a back seat. I have no apology over that statement. And I am saying it again that if I am struggling for a position with my father, it is ridiculous. New generation should take over this party and build it.

Anything you are doing and your children do not have insight into it will perish. Since this party started we have always deferred to them.

But are we saying that we should continue to say the younger generation should go to blazes? The question to ask our elders with all due respect to them is that, at some times, if you are the one eating the food, you will pack the plates yourself.

We will have differences. It is normal in politics but washing your dirty linen in public is bad. Let the young men take over in Nigeria” he said. He said most of the people running to court to get injunction against the party do not have followers. “If you are leading as elders and we lost election; most of the people who were Jonathan’s adviser were elders and we lost election.

In most of the advanced democracy, if you lose election, it is just decent for you to allow other people to try, especially young people.

I was governor at 42. You need a lot of energy to be a leader, not when they are giving you Pandol to be strong.

Age is a disease on its own” he said. He said despite the problems in the party, there is not threat that the party would disintegrate, noting that “the fact that there is so much in fighting show that the party is strong.

The fact that everybody wants to be relevant in the party shows that the party is strong. If there is no future for PDP, there would be no such struggle”.

On the call for the postponement of the party, Fayose said that “you can wish anything but God’s plan for the PDP is that the 21st May convention cannot be stopped” he said.

I say it with every sense of responsibility that it is not me segun Showunmi that will fear your so called leaders it is your leaders that should fear FEAR!!!!!!-

3. I say it with every sense of responsibility that it is not me segun Showunmi that will fear your so called leaders it is your leaders that should fear FEAR!!!!!!-


How can a man who wants to be PDP National Publicity Secretary be this bitter?

Is he going to be NPS of Senator Buruji Kasamu's faction of PDP only?

Should someone that is aspiring to be the Spokesperson of our party, PDP be this divisive?

May God help our great party!

I'm A Prophet, Fayose Makes New Shocking Prediction


The controversial Governor of Ekiti state, Ayodele Fayose has made new shocking prediction.

According to the Cable, Fayose said that Yahaya Bello, his Kogi state counterpart, would soon be removed from office.

The governor stated this while delivering a lecture entitled ‘Journalism and Politics: Two Sides of A Coin’,an event organised by the Oyo state chapter of the Nigerian Union of Journalists to commemorate the World Press Freedom Day.

Fayose, describing himself as a prophet who has never lost any battle, said: “Whatever I say is divine… The next to happen is the removal of Kogi state governor… I have not lost a battle in my life.”

He noted that many people are afraid to speak the truth.

However, he stressed that he would rather die than shy away from the truth.

It was not the first time when the outspoken governor of Ekiti state shocked Nigerians. In December 2015, he came up with unbelievable prophecies for Nigeria in 2016. He said that corruption under President Buhari would be on the increase, poverty in the nation would be at its highest in history.

He also predicted that power generation would drop, while 6.7 million Nigerians would lose their jobs. Speaking about the missing Chibok girls, he said: “In 2016, our girls will never come back because the BBOG people has started enjoying the booty.

Politics / Ekiti: Olugbemi Opens Can Of Worms On Aluko. by Purplebirdrep: 9:05pm On Apr 16, 2016
Ekiti: Olugbemi opens can of worms on Aluko, alleges he was brain behind the failed impeachment plot against Fayose

*Says he is a political vulture, jobber, scavenger, parasite and academic fraud


Former Speaker of the Ekiti State House of Assembly, Hon Dele Olugbemi, who brokered peace between Governor Ayodele Fayose and the embattled former Secretary of the PDP in the State, Mr. Temitope Aluko (aka TKO) during the March 8 dramatic truce meeting that dumbfounded the world in Lagos, today opened can of worms in reaction to Aluko's allegation of perfecting the June 21 guber poll rigging in an hotel and alleged diversion of N5.2 billion refund for the rigging.

Olugbemi spoke on Ekiti FM 91.5 Radio station today, challenged Aluko to present himself for a traditional swearing to know who was saying the truth between both of them over the truce meeting.

Olugbemi said he has realised ‎that Aluko was a professional and unrepentant blackmailer using blackmail to earn living and that only gullible minds would take anything he has said serious.

"Once someone has turned himself into a political vulture, parasite, scavenger and an unrepentant traitor, there is nothing he cannot deny just to get a pot of porrigde. He is just like a chameleon. He would say yes in the morning, no in the afternoon and a combination of both yes and no in the evening", the ex-Speaker said.

Olugbemi dropped a bombshell when he said that it was Aluko who initiated the failed impeachment plot against Governor Fayose with the APC lawmakers in the last state House of Assembly.

His words: "When I was the Speaker of the Ekiti House of Assembly, TKO was the secretary of our party, PDP. I have never seen a traitor like him in my life. He was the one who initiated and facilitated an arrangement with the APC towards using the House to impeach Fayose. He took me to Osun and Lagos for the arrangement.

"I refused to do this and that strained our relationship. But we resumed our relationship shortly after the end of our tenure as Speaker. When I discovered that he was always scheming against the governor and conniving with enemies to impeach him after about one and half year into this government, I decided to call him and advised him against his moves. I told him that in politics, there cannot be permanent enemies but permanent interests. I told him decamping to another party would not help, that as for me, I prefer to stay in PDP and demand for what is mine.

" I am so surprised that he could come out to denounce and rubbish with lies, a peace meeting I brokered between him and Governor Fayose. The CCTV camera has the details of all that we discussed with the governor inside the Eko Hotels. Aluko is a morally challenged, socially unfit and academically bankrupt person,‎ As an Ekitiman, I am totally ashamed of him. He has defaced himself, not Ekiti.

"Politics aside, no Ekitiman will subscribe to what he is doing. Even the people he is working for has limit they can tolerate him because whether he likes it or not, he has destroyed himself. Soon, he would sink into oblivion.

"But Aluko would deny all these because he has always been a Judas. As PDP secretary in Ekiti, he was on payroll of the APC for over a year and was working against his own party and towards impeaching the governor. Aluko is a morally challenged, socially unfit and academically bankrupt person. Only somebody like Aluko with no intergrity can go to Adaba FM station to tell all those lies purposely to satisfy his paymasters.

" Aluko, it was who had the ticket for the House of Representative but sold it to his Action Congress of Nigeria opponent, Opeyemi Bamidele to make that one emerge the member of House of Representatives then. ‎

"TKO is just a political jobber. He collects money from anyone and tells them what they want to know. He once went to Accord Party to negotiate. I know many of the people in the opposition that he has been collecting money from. He is a chronic debtor. I'll still mention the names of those people if he continues saying those rubbish he's saying.

" I call him an academic fraud because when he was lecturing with the Ekiti State University, he allegedly got admission for many candidates but they only discovered that he got fake admissions for them after four years when they were supposed to get graduation certificates. He has succeeded in destroying the lives of those people. He was asked to resign from the appointment of the institutions then.

"Those innocent military officers Aluko has implicated and made them to lose their jobs and career. Do you think those ones would just fold their arms? He knows he is in big trouble and that is why he is running from pillar to post. He no longer has electoral value and cannot even win in his ward.

"If institutions were strong in this country and if Aluko had been working against the an APC governor and not Fayose, he would have been in detention by now."

Asked if it was fair for Fayose to ditch Aluko after using him to win election, Olugbemi said: "if you were in Fayose's shoes where Aluko who was the secretary of the PDP in the state where Fayose is the head of the party and Aluko took the Speaker of Fayose's government to a secret meeting where there was a plot to impeach the governor. And had also collected a jeep and huge money from a dealer and was also on pay roll of an opposition party plotting to unseat Fayose, would you still fulfill that promise and make Aluko your Chief of Staff?

"I don't know about his agreement with Fayose on the issue of making him the Chief of Staff but I know that Aluko is doing all these he is doing, because the governor did not make him his chief of Staff.

" Fayose is a truthful politician and one who keeps his promises however long it takes, but he delights in his loyalists following his instructions to the letter and not work against him."

Public Service Announcement

Kindly disregard rumour being peddled by the APC in Ekiti State that the Secretary to the State Govt (SSG), Dr (Mrs) Modupe Alade has resigned.

The rumour is part of the antics of the APC desperadoes to cause confusion in the State as they have elected to do since they lost power in 2014.

Dr Modupe Alade did not resign her appointment and she is not considering taking such step in the future.

The lady in the pic selling pear is named Charlotte Dipanda. She is an artist from cameroon.
The man beside him is also a Cameroonian artist. Here they are on set doing what they know doing best.
The latest gist in town from the APC cyber dogs is that the man is Fayose and was peeping into the upper apples of the lady while pretending to be buying pear from her.
Having exhausted their arsenal and couldn't match up with Fayose's fire power, they resorted to cheap blackmails.

Politics / Buhari Would Never Lift A Finger If APC Is Guilty Of Election Violence by Purplebirdrep: 11:08pm On Apr 07, 2016
Buhari Would Never Lift A Finger If APC Is Guilty Of Election Violence – Fayose

Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State, has criticised President Muhammadu Buhari and the Independent National Electoral Commission Chairman, Professor Mahmood Yakubu over the spate of violence in Nigeria’s elections.

Fayose accused the President of ’emboldening his party’ – the All Progressives Congress – by failing to take action on the violent elections conducted in recent time.

Speaking through his Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka the governor said: “INEC under the present dispensation is the number one electoral offender and that electoral reform without INEC neutrality is a mirage.”

“Even though establishment of Electoral Offences Tribunal is not entirely a bad idea, but INEC as presently constituted does not encourage free, fair and violence free election and it should worry Prof Yakubu that INEC as at today, is being referred to as Inconclusive National Electoral Commission because of the commission’s partisanship.”

“During the Rivers State rerun elections that INEC has been unable to conclude, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) was missing on result sheets of over 230 polling units and up till now, all what INEC has been able to tell Nigerians was that the criminal omission of PDP in the result sheets was due to printers error. Was that not enough to cause violence?”

“The day President Buhari interfered with the internal administration of INEC by appointing Madam Amina Zakari, a National Commissioner, as Acting Chairperson of the commission, a title and position unknown to the Constitution, INEC under the Buhari’s APC government lost its independence and its credibility was eroded.”

“The reality that INEC itself must therefore face is that members of President Buhari’s party, APC have become so emboldened to unleash violence on Nigerians during elections because they know that the president won’t lift a finger provided his party members are the ones perpetrating evil.”

“INEC must therefore seek to regain its lost independence and credibility before talking about punishing electoral offenders because as it is now, INEC is the number one electoral offender and promoter of electoral violence.”

Politics / Rule Of Law, Or Rule Of Brute by Purplebirdrep: 8:25am On Mar 18, 2016
Military back in POWER.

Rule of law or rule of brute?

It is saddening that an official of the DSS holding one Hon. Afolabi Afo Guarantor Akanni; a member of the Ekiti State House of Assembly, could brazenly insult the intelligence of Nigerians and openly confess to a breach of the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 under the claim of uncovering a serious breach that affected the internal security of state against Hon. Afolabi Akanni which fell under the purview of the DSS yet neglect to charge him to court.

This is a clear aberration of the rule of law.
Why holding on to the said Hon. Afolabi Akanni in perpetuity without charging him to court, when the DSS possess avalanche of evidence bothering on the claimed “serious security breach” against him?
Why can't the DSS charge him to court rather than assuming the position of a judge in their own cause. “Nemo Judex in Causa Sua”:The DSS can't be a judge in its own cause.

There is also an urgent need for the other side to be heard through the law court (“Audi Altrem Partem”). Let the DSS charge this Hon. in their custody to court now based on the evidence at their disposal if any rather than giving room for speculations, rumours, misinformation and unnecessary tension capable of setting Ekiti State on fire; God forbids.

Let's agree without conceding that the DSS did not receive the court order asking for the release of Hon. Afolabi Akanni. The DSS should as a matter of urgency release the Honorable now or charge him to court as obtainable in saner societies where rule of law is strictly adhered to instead of rule of brute.

We all must rise above political sympathy or affiliation to condemn this illegal and unfortunate action of the DSS in a democracy. It is Hon. Akanni Afolabi today but could be anybody tomorrow.

And this goes beyond the issue of political love or hatred for Gov. Fayose or the Ekiti Assembly Legislators. ‪#‎TheDSSshouldeitherFreeorChargeHon‬.AfolabiAkannitoCourtNow
