Another half-baked Yoruba loser on the loose. This woman will choke Yorubas to death soon.

omenka:
Yeah. I know.

Make sure you slant the stem at the appropriate angle otherwise they won't sprout.

I bet you must be too dull to understand what I mean.

You really do delude yourself with the bland idea that everyone is like you: a low-level party thug and political name-dropper

same2u:
U don't need an office to carry out humanitarian services

That is the point. But we are interested in the conflicting message they are sending out. One of them should just shut it. We either have it or we do not.

omenka:
Eyaaa. Another pained and distressed TANoid. Between you and Mogi*di, I don't know who's gonna "do the deed" first.

Some of us will feed you and your family for life. We do not depend on government patronage. What the frigging hell is TANoid where I am concerned?

And Aisha went to court recently on the matter of the First Lady

Depending on how it is used, the Office of the First Lady (OFL) may be a good thing

So on the one hand, we can have it.
But on the other hand, we can also do without it. It is not important.

Now they are already divided and fighting themselves on the matter of OFL, and sending out conflicting signals whether OFL is to be or not to be.

I hear that both Igbos and Yorubas in the UK recently contested elections into the British parliament and while three Igbos were elected, all the Yoruba contestants lost.

I guess there is no stomach infrastructure and crooked voting in the UK

Meanwhile, this Polish parliamentarian is an Umuahian- like myself.

Igbos rock

Yorubas will continue to envy and hate until they all drown in the Lagoon

Oba of LAGOS=Yoruwood actor=Dr. Abraham Ariyo=cultist Wole Soyinka

Read This Open Letter To Prof. Wole Soyinka By A Nigerian Born Polish MP

Dear Prof. Wole Soyinka, It is with deep sadness that I read your remarks made during you lecture titled ‘Predicting Nigeria, Electoral Ironies’ at the Harvard University Hutchins Centre for African & African American Research, in Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA, where you referred to the Igbos as “greedy”. During your lecture you were alleged to have said: “The Igbos are probably the only group of Nigerians that you can predict with great accuracy whom they will vote for in an election, because they tend to put their votes where their stomachs take them; suffering as it were, from incurable money-mindedness, as they would stop at nothing in their quest for personal financial gain.” Your statement is not only divisive based on ignorant stereotyping, it also is also racist, and capable of of flaring up tribal conflicts amongst Nigerians. Such a statement from a respected statesman and educated nobel laureate can cause unprecedented havoc in the very delicate unity of our nation - Nigeria. It is very alarming to hear lately of anti-Igbo rhetoric from the Yoruba elite and especially from people of your intelligence and calibre. It is very sad and disheartening.

For us Nigerians in the diasporas- we cherish our fraternity and constantly strive hard to build our brotherhood not only as Nigerians but also as Africans. I am an Igbo, an elected member of the Polish Parliament. Many Nigerians in Poland, including Yorubas turn to me for help and support when they have problems. I treat them as my brothers and I am my brother's keeper. Your alleged statement, with all due respect, Professor Soyinka, is uninformed, infantile and stereotypical and is a heavy blow on Nigerian Unity. Every tribe or Nigerian nation has its perceived attributes- And yes, the Igbos, like the Jews, are industrious and entrepreneurial and this should be a source of national pride.

Wisdom is said to grow as we get older. It is therefore expected of you as an elderly statesman, Profesor Soyinka, that you will be a role model to the younger generation of Nigerians and indeed Africans. Many look up to you as an example to follow. It is therefore imperative that you show a good example by correcting the above mistake. And the only way you can make up for your mistake is to publicly apologize to the Igbos and to Nigerians for your unwise and tactless statement. May I also advice that you think twice before you make such blanket statements in future.

Thank you.
Yours sincerely, John Abraham Godson,
MP Chair, Parliamentary Group for Africa President, The African Instituteki

na pesin papa n mama u dey call underage So.

they are adults in their own rights. I see same in the south. no big deal.

Please post the photos of the ones from the south, if any. It is bad for democracy and should be addressed. I will collate everything and send to international election-related bodies. Thank you.

That's how pa Buhari got his million vote's up north..






Naija I Hail Thee

Could you add more photos of under-aged voters here and let's preserve this thread for posterity. It is not just about Buhari. It is about a culture of northern Nigeria that we must bring to international limelight. Thank you

Now that the elections have come and gone and we have had winners and losers in most of the contested positions, what is next for Nigeria?
Do you plan to build on this slight success and improve upon the system to prevent the prevalent under-aged voter menace in northern Nigeria - which is what helped to give the north an advantage over other zones - or do all zones start presenting under-aged voters?

Something must give. What could it be?

Is this lack of coherence and substance in speech why Buhari bailed from the debate?

Okay! Since Buhari has ran away, with tails ducked between his legs, let's match GEJ with Osinbajo, and Buhari with Sambo

Why is Buhari not talking much during campaigns? Is it because of:
1. Not knowing what to say?
2. Not interesting in saying anything?
3. Knowing what to say but not knowing how to say it?
4. Just fulfilling an appearance but disinterested in the entire campaign process?

How can this man of very few words represent Nigeria abroad? Or would Osinbajo be the one attending to all foreign matters, including those that are exclusively presidential?

GMB: two clowns leading or wanting to lead a country of 170 million in-country clowns.

are u implying that u are a clown leaving outside the country?

170 million in-county (emphasis) clowns, Of course as someone in the peak of my career in the most developed country in the world, I cannot be considered a clown

YALE Professor no PhD

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Casson

His Ph.D. advisor at the University of Liverpool was C. T. C. Wall, but he never completed his doctorate; instead what would have been his Ph.D. thesis became his fellowship dissertation as a research fellow at Trinity College, Cambridge.

You wanna compare a US mathematician with a Nigerian ''professor'' of Law?

Did you see his scientific (mathematical) accomplishments? Compare them to Yemi's legal accomplishment for global intellectual relevance, pound-for-pound. What I mean is, what does Yemi's accomplishment add to the legal discipline compared to what Carson's added to the mathematical discipline?

Besides Carson did start a PhD (but did not complete the studies), unlike Osinbajo who does not know what it takes to be a PhD student, let alone a real professor.

Confirmed he has no PhD

Vanguard

His tertiary education was at the University of Lagos and the London School of Economics where he obtained the LLB and LLM degrees respectively. - See more at: http://www.vanguardngr.com/2014/12/meet-buharis-running-mate-prof-yemi-Osinbajo/#sthash.r21NZ2YK.dpuf

ntyce:
Did Oshinbajo put the info on Wikipedia?
has Unilag denounced or renounced his PhD?

However, I think he had his Doctorate at LASU - not so sure though.

Hah. The other person said UniLag now you say Lasu

As for Wikipedia, you cannot let people put a wrong information about yourself on cyberspace. So Osinbajo either put those information there himself, or he approved them to be put by a proxy.

manny4life:
Honestly, please you people should quit this. There are more pressing issues plaguing our economy, as well as other problems. Whether a professor at UNILAG or not, this isn't a core issue.

There is really nothing both GEJ and GMB can do to the economy. They are both incompetent and the Nigerian masses are far too sold to corruption, incompetence and anything-goes for them to ask the critical questions and demand answers. So, in the absence of a credible candidate, let's make the most comic situation we can out of GEJ and GMB: two clowns leading or wanting to lead a country of 170 million in-country clowns.

simpleseyi:
Another fool just escaped from the gate of hell when our pastor opened the gate with the key he holds.

Wole Soyinka has no MSc, he is a African most celebrated Professor. Go and use google, I am not here to lecture you.

It is true that both Achebe and Soyinka do not have MSc degrees, yet are referred to as professors. But they both have deep global recognition that warranted several foreign universities to make them ''honorary professors''. So while theirs is excusable, what excuse does Osinbajo have to become a prof in 1990 without a PhD? Unless of course he is an ''honorary professor'' at unilag. Lol

Wow! So Osinbade (Buhari's version of Osinbajo) is a fake professor?

Oduduwaboy:
Lets see how fit and 'speechy' you will be when you are 72years old. We dont need a lying demagogue now, all we need is a good leader who can hold his lieutenants accountable and stem the rising tide of corruption/theft that is about to destroy this country.
Sai Buhari!!!

Then what do you want trying to lead a country like Nigeria at 72 years?

midolian:
Far better than the nigeria we see on international TV

But this is the same street that US presidents walk during their inauguration ceremony. Sad

By accepting cash rather than a card/ticket system upon online purchase, they end up enriching the thieving rail workers. Half of the money will go into private pockets. Then soon they will run it down again. Useless, corrupt public servants. Kudos to the govt for this.

Bump

"I do not like Buhari and I also would not be voting for him. However, I also would not vote GEJ because he is an unserious candidate."

OP, you cant sit on the fence in this case. Not voting at all will make no difference and it won't change a thing, rather voting for your preferred candidate might do the magic. Its obvious this election is between Buhari/Osinbajo and GEJ/Sambo. the two of which may not be the best to rule Nigeria, but obviously, there is a better amongst the two.

Beyond 2019: If GEJ is reelected this time, the Igbo stand no chance of smelling the aso villa until 2027 or later. You and I know why

I have no preferred candidate among the two. So I have more important things to do than waste my time on two failed politicians who will offer absolutely nothing. Hopefully 2019 will throw on us more vibrant candidates like Rochas, Fasola, Kwankwaso and others. Hopefully too, by then those people who put Nigeria in this mess would have all gone to sleep.

Insanity



South East geo-political zone will produce the president of Nigeria after 2019


While he is supporting a party if elected will spend the next 8 yrs and still there is narrow chance in 2022

Shame on you

Actually Igbos may get the presidency faster with APC than PDP

If GEJ wins, there is no jupiter that will make PDP not give power to the North after him. There is no way in this world a southerner would succeed GEJ.
With APC, after Buhari it will come down south and SE and SW will have to battle for it. Even, before 2019, Buhari may be dead. Tinubu may also die of his current ailment at some point (that is a route for every mortal). That way, the space is opened up for others to compete
I strongly suggest that Igbos give APC a chance at least at the state and LGA levels, even if they do not like Buhari. I also would not be voting Buhari, neither would I vote GEJ. I can however vote APC candidate at the state and lower levels.

Igbos would have been idiotic to constrict themselves to only PDP. So, I thank God for Rochas, Ngige and others helping to build up APC in Igboland. We are big enough to be in the two major parties and take what belongs to us from both parties.

Change2015:
If the Igbos don't find some unity and the ability to vote as a mass, how can they achieve the presidency? Even in this election all parties can see the ethnic sentiments emanating from the south east, and a leader expects to emerge from there? The hausa and yoruba political blocks have decided to respect themselves and work together to achieve political success. If the Igbos are not building bridges of friendship with the other major political blocks, how far can that ambition go? I see Fashola as the next president after Buhari...

Stop lying to yourself. Yorubas are in both APC and PDP. The north has people in both parties. Why do you want Igbos to be only in one party? Why do you have different standards for Igbos and the others? Are you not a wicked hypocrite?
