This is madness of the deepest dye. N1.05 billion?

Even Tinubu can see the light

I am seriously disappointed in Ken Nnamani especially let me pretend Orji Uzor Kalu is looking for soft landing concerning his EFCC's case but Sullivan Chime?

Hian!another aboki again?

My dear the political permutation right now is tilted towards the North and not the South. As it stands today, I don't know of any Northerner with a strong base politically, financial strength, popularity across the nation that can withstand Buhari or whoever APC is bringing in 2019 if not Alhaji Abubakar Atiku. My dear you better get ready to be Atikulated by 2019 for a better Nigeria!

Shebi I don beg you nah

I mean it I don't know it will pain you like that

ok continue on your comedic path at least you keep some of us entertained

sarrki:
Baba sorry I didn't know that it will pain you like that

Pain? Is this one unnecessarily slow or something I just called you out on your own thread based on the skewed analysis you gave and the burden of proof that you need to refute my claim lies on your head yet you are talking of pain I swear you should be a baba alagbo in Ilorin

beejaay:
what a stupid analogy... ministerial appointment is a constitutional right of every state and thus every state must be represented....so bros yu cant use the ministerial portfolio to judge federal appointment.
If you wanna be fair you should compare apples to apples for example the composition of security chiefs, Director of Agencies, Kitchen cabinet of the presidency...
you can only hoodwinked those with 60 for a IQ and those with mediocre mindset like you

You even get time to quote the clown. That guy is too cheap upstairs always talking without thinking

sarrki:
You are a hardened wailer

Nothing can change your mind

Always speak the whole truth and not half truth just to suit your sentiments you don't know me and never will until you love the truth. Refute my rebuttal or forever shut your trap my "bigoted rice paddy owner"

Your failed attempt to buy sympathy for your god, Buhari had long been exposed when you try try to bring baby and Lilliputians in form of Ministers from the South. Tell us how many of these "Ministers" have a say when solid and concrete matters that affect Nigeria's security, well being and monetary policies come up for discussion with the lanky General. We are no fools just park one side abeg with your skewed and badly constructed analyses.

This madness must stop for crying out loud why can't this demonic government of Buhari respect simple Court orders? I can imagine the the condition of Kanu since November 2015 when one of his means of livelihood has been put on hold....what type of madness is this?

This guy had been vocal as a young activist during the time of dreaded Abacha he is always on point concerning National issues. Buhari is a goner

I will Atikulate well by 2019

That man is one man of God I know truly believes in Nigeria working for Nigerians. He always speak the truth.

APC is a party built on lies

Wao so this is the man a true fiery man of God that pours it out raw on wicked leaders. Buhari is already a goner

No statistics given anyway kudos to Afe Babalola University on this feat it is worthy of emulation.

It's a pity the late Biafran President, Odumegwu Ohykwu saw this over 50 years ago in the name of Confederacy yet many clowns then refused his clarion call to renegotiate our union now it is day time already and the Country is no longer finding things funny. Indeed Ojukwu was a political prophet what he saw then is still relevant till tomorrow.

2019: Pastor Tunde Bakare reveals why Nigeria doesn’t need another election
dailypost.ng Jan 15, 2018 6:33 AM

Tunde Bakare, General Overseer of the Latter Rain Assembly, has said Nigeria does not need another election in 2019.

Delivering his state of the nation address at his church in Lagos, Bakare stressed that what the country needed at a time such as this was a renegotiation of its union.

Bakare’s speech reads in part: “Nigeria does not need an election come 2019, but needs renegotiation of its union.

“Let me reiterate that what Nigeria needs now is not another election but a return to the drawing board to renegotiate our union. You will recall that, in 2015, I made a similar declaration in the message titled ‘The Gathering Storm and Avoidable Shipwreck: How to Avoid Catastrophic Euroclydon’.

“In that address, I called for restructuring when others were clamouring for elections. Three years later, the majority that was wrong has become the minority, and the minority that was right is becoming the majority, even as restructuring has become the buzzword in our nation.”

Recall that the former running mate to President Muhammadu Buhari had condemned the President for not reacting swiftly to the crisis created by Fulani herdsmen across the country.

Bakare: Buhari did nothing about Benue genocide though he was warned 18 months earlier



January 14

Tunde Bakare, the serving overseer of the Latter Rain Assembly (LRA), says President Muhammadu Buhari and his government did nothing about the genocide in Benue even though they were warned 18 months earlier.

Bakare also added that the government has failed in what seem to be its area of strength — security, and has permitted a genocide in some parts of the country.

“Nothing indicts the current government greater than its failure in one key performance area that ought to be its strength: security,” Bakare said.

“Despite recent setbacks, we acknowledge the gains in the war against Boko Haram, but highly disturbing is the mayhem being continually unleashed by herdsmen on communities in different states across the country, including Benue, Taraba, Plateau, Adamawa, Kaduna, Enugu, Edo and Ogun States, leaving trails of weeping and wailing.

“The recent killings in Benue State are akin to the last straw that is set to break the camel’s back. Not only has the government failed to stop these killings across the country, it has done so against the backdrop of conspiratorial silence, choosing rather to label such attacks ‘an issue of communal misunderstanding’, as the Inspector General of Police recently did in respect of the Benue attacks; it has treated the menace with kid gloves even after the Global Terrorism Index 2015 described ‘militant’ herdsmen as ‘the fourth most deadly group of 2014’.

“Worse still, some of these killings have reportedly been carried out in collusion with the military.

BUHARI WAS WARNED 18 MONTHS EARLIER



Iyorwuese Hagher ‘warned Buhari 18 months earlier’

Bakare said the federal government has “become complicit for the following reasons:

“By not advancing and vigorously executing policies aimed at pre-empting or preventing these killings even with sufficient warnings: I am reminded of the open letter to President Muhammadu Buhari by a former Nigerian High Commissioner to Canada and Second Republic senator, Prof. Iyorwuese Hagher. Permit me to quote excerpts from that letter:

‘Your Excellency Mr. President…I am pained that you ignored my advice in my private memorandum to you dated 30th July 2016. I had warned you of the possibility of a horrendous genocide in Benue, Plateau, Taraba, Southern Kaduna, and Southern Adamawa States.

‘I asked you to be proactive and stop the genocide that has been ongoing but which would burst out in the open and shock the world within 18 months. Your office replied my letter…thanking me ‘immensely’ and giving me the assurances that the advice would be heeded…I regret to now inform you that it is seventeen months since my warning and prediction and your government did nothing to pre-empt or prevent the genocide.'”

UNEMPLOYED NIGERIANS HAVE INCREASE BY ALMOST 10MILLION

“This administration anchored its policy outlook on three main thrusts, including security, job creation through diversification, and anti-corruption, yet all around us are signs of retrogression,” Bakare said.

“As at June 2015, the unemployment rate was 8.2% of a labour force of 74 million, meaning that about 6 million Nigerians were unemployed.

“By September 2017, despite such efforts as N-Power and a range of policies aimed at improving enterprise development and facilitating job creation, the unemployment rate had risen to 18.8% of a labour force of 85.1 million, indicating that between 2015 and 2017, the number of unemployed Nigerians rose from about 6 million to almost 16 million.”

SPEECH BY OTUNBA (DR.) GANI ADAMS AT HIS INSTALLATION AS THE 15TH AARE ONA KAKANFO OF YORUBALAND BY THE ALAAFIN OF OYO, IKU BABA YEYE, HIS IMPERIAL MAJESTY, OBA LAMIDI OLAYIWOLA ADEYEMI III.

Date: Saturday January 13, 2018

Venue: Durbar Stadium, Oyo

Time: 11am

PROTOCOLS

Mo juba awon Aare Ona Kakanfo to siwaju mi:

Kokoro Gangan of Iwoye

Oyapote of Iwoye

Oyabi of Ajase

Adeta of Jabata

Oku of Jabata

Afonja of Ilorin

Toyeje of Ogbomoso

Edun of Gbogun

Amepo of Abemo

Kurumi of Ijaiye

Ojo Aburumaku of Ogbomoso (son of Toyeje of Ogbomosho)

Latoosa of Ibadan

Ladoke Akintola of Ogbomoso

M.K.O. Abiola of Abeokuta

There cannot be a more humbling occasion for me as the one we are in today.

Against the backdrop of the size of the office the Iku Baba Yeye, His Imperial Majesty, the Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Olayiwola Atanda Adeyemi III, has bestowed on me and the larger than life image of my predecessors, my installation as the 15th Aare Ona Kakanfo is a challenge that has made all past challenges seem like a child’s play.

Though I am just stepping into the office, past occupants of the seat, especially the 13th and 14th occupants – Aare Samuel Ladoke Akintola and Aare Moshood Kashimawo Olawale Abiola – brought so much power and glamour to the office that it is obvious I have a lot of work to do. As astute businessmen and politicians of note, they raised the profile of the office.

There is no doubt from the reactions that followed my pronouncement by the Alaafin of Oyo as the 15th Aare Ona Kakanfo that the power and prestige of the office has not waned since it was created centuries ago by Alaafin Ajagbo.

In fact, the epoch-making event of today is symbolic as 2018 marks the 558th anniversary of the installation of the first Aare Ona Kakanfo – Kokoro Gangan of Iwoye.

It is of interest to note that the military, political, traditional and cultural symbolism of the title to the Yoruba Empire, about 600 years ago, is still of strategic importance in the 21st Century.

This attribute reveals the uniqueness of the Yoruba race and shows that so much is still expected of the occupant of the post, despite the fact that physical and armed wars are no longer the order of the day.

In fact, despite the fact that I am an holder of 52 traditional titles, none has drawn as much comments and commendation by way of letters and visits.

The import of the Office still stands: protection of the interests of Yoruba race, both within the country and everywhere else people of the race exist.

While it is estimated that there are 60 million Yoruba within Nigeria and about 200 million others scattered all over the world, as a starting point, the preservation of the culture of the race will occupy my attention.

Pitiably, as a race, we are gradually losing our culture. In fact, from my travels around the world, it has become obvious that people of other races are taking more interest in our culture than we the owners of the culture, with Americans, Europeans and Asians now earning Degrees in the study of our culture, beliefs and what they have come to term Doctrine. We need to preserve our culture to fully realize the potential of the Yoruba.

Though with an activist background, it is now clear that I have to do more as a bridge builder with this new responsibility.

In as much as the focus of my struggle has changed over the years from the heady days of the Oodua People’s Congress (OPC) to the spread of our culture through the formation of the Oodua Progressive Union (OPU), which is now in 79 countries, the Olokun Festival Foundation, Gani Adams Foundation and many others, this new responsibility, despite my age, has unwittingly forced the stature of a statesman on me.

I promise to live up to that calling.

In this regard, I will work with our traditional rulers, grassroots leaders and have good rapport with all stakeholders, no matter the differences of the past, for the unity, progress and advancement of Yorubaland and Nigeria.

The office of the Aare Ona Kakanfo will project the Yoruba culture and tradition by promoting and sustaining our identity globally.

The office will equally ensure unity of all Yoruba sons and daughters all over the world.

Also of strategic importance to me is research and documentary to sustain the ideals of our founding fathers.

To ensure the continuation of the leadership role the Yoruba is known for educationally, I will give scholarships to our sons and daughters because education is light and power.

Also, I will collaborate with security agencies and stakeholders to ensure that Yorubaland is effectively secured through our various organizations.

I want to assure this August gathering that given the fact that the Oodua Progressives Union (OPU), which I am also the Convener, is now established in 79 countries, I will use this Union and other pan-Yoruba groups abroad to invite our sons and daughters with exceptional abilities, who have distinguished themselves in various fields, to come home and help in our quest to ensuring that our country takes its rightful place in the comity of nations.

GRATITUDE

At this juncture, let me express my profound gratitude to all our revered traditional rulers who have been working tirelessly to unite our race. It is a long list that it will not be possible to mention all.

But let me use the following to pay tribute to our traditional rulers: the Alaafin of Oyo, Iku Baba Yeye, Oba Lamidi Olayiwola Adeyemi III who has deemed it fit to honour me with this prestigious title, the Ooni of Ife, Oonirisa Enitan Adeyeye Ogunwusi, Ojaja II; Chairmen of Council of Obas and Chiefs and all traditional rulers in Yorubaland, and not forgetting my root, the Zaki of Arigidi-Akoko, Oba Yisa Olanipekun, and all traditional rulers in Akokoland; all the Obas who bestowed me with 52 titles, which invariably laid the foundation for my emergence as the Aare Ona Kakanfo.

CALL FOR UNITY

The journey has started from here. And my first appeal goes to Yoruba sons and daughters who are outside the shores of the country not to forget that there is no place like home. This was what informed the formation of the Oodua Progressives Union (OPU), Gani Adams Foundation and Olokun Festival Foundation. Please, see Yorubaland as the place to be. Don’t give the race a bad name. Come home to invest.

As the 15th Aare Ona Kakanafo, I consider myself lucky that there is no war at hand confronting the Yoruba race now. In other words, we are living in peace time. However, I am not pleased with the level of Yoruba unity today and I am very concerned. Therefore, my greatest priority is the unity of the Yoruba race at home and in the Diaspora.

I will, therefore, spare no effort in ensuring the unity of Yoruba race within the contemporary Nigeria body polity.

To take the journey further, I will, after this installation, launch the Aare Ona Kakanfo Foundation. This will further promote the culture of the people and document the history of the Aare Ona Kakanfo title.

Since we are now in the era of Information Technology, we will be unveiling historical documents obtained from the Iku Baba Yeye on the Aare Ona Kakanfo title to a website.

2018 makes it the 30th year that the last holder of the title, Aare M.K.O. Abiola, stood before you for his installation. He died on July 7, 1998 and the post was vacant for almost 20 years.

Same happened when the 13th holder of the title, Aare S.L. Akintola, died on January 15, 1966. It took more than 22 years before his successor took over. Why? There is the myth that holders of the title will always die a violent death. But, this is not so because many holders of the title lived to be more than 100 years.

So, apart from setting aside the myth and projecting the image of the office, documenting the Aare Ona Kakanfo title will also let people know that a child born of humble beginning like me can make it.

From the extreme North of Yorubaland, Arigidi-Akoko in Akoko North West Local Government the rural area of Ondo State, here I am emerging as the Aare Ona Kakanfo.

WAY FORWARD

My second appeal as the Aare Ona Kakanfo goes to the Federal Government to attend to some of the major roads in Yorubaland that are critical to its citizens. These include Lagos-Ibadan, Oyo-Ilorin, Lagos-Badagry, Sagamu-Benin, Badagry-Lusada-Sokoto, Ibadan-Iwo-Osogbo, Osogbo-Ilesa, Ilesa-Akure-Owo-Lokoja and Lagos-Abeokuta.

It will also be a major plus if the government, as promised by President Muhammadu Buhari in his January 1, 2018 speech, attends to rail transportation as fast as possible.

The issue of power is also critical. This will empower artisans more.

Security is equally important. All these would aid the development of the tourism potential of the country.

Several countries, such as the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Britain, Turkey, Singapore, Kenya, Ethiopia, South Africa, Ghana, Rwanda, Saudi Arabia and Israel have diversified their economy to tourism.

I want to assure you that I will work with various stakeholders to turn our land into a viable tourist destination.

To our esteemed Governors in the South-West, I call for cooperation, no matter the party line. The Development Agenda for Western Nigeria (DAWN) Commission should be empowered. And I want you all to see me as a partner in progress.

I offer myself for service once it is for the advancement of the Yoruba race. The various groups in the South-West should also resolve their crises.

I will also persuade seven of our elders, who are not partisan, to work with me in uniting all Yoruba and resolve differences wherever they may arise.

PROFOUND APPRECIATION

In closing, let me express my profound appreciation to the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, President Muhammadu Buhari, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Yakubu Dogara, for their support.

I want to thank our host Governor, Senator Abiola Ajimobi, for his immense contribution towards the success of today’s event.

I also thank other governors for their support and contributions, financially and morally.

Let me thank all those who contributed to the success of this installation ceremony, especially members of the Planning Committee, the media and many others too numerous to mention.

I also want to thank my wife, Erelu Mojisola. She is a Pillar of Support and a Role Model for Women.

I want to assure all that as the 15th Aare Ona Kakanfo, I will use my position, God willing, to protect the interest of our land and our dear country Nigeria.

AnonyNymous:
Buhari is against restructuring. The op was implying that the Bakare guy supports Buhari's stance- but then goes around to make this banner.

Maybe we shouldn't elect any president in Nigeria in 2019.

You sabi jare my brother

obailala:
But Bakare hasnt changed his stance in any way, the Op doesnt know what he's talking about.

I do know what I am talking about the Tunde Bakare I knew and still know had been an ardent supporter of restructuring especially during Jonathan's time he was even part of those that was selected for the 2014 Confab all of a sudden he went numb while the likes of Atiku, Nnamdi Kanu, Odumakin, Wole Soyinka were championing the RESTRUCTURING CAUSE under his friend and associate, Buhari's administration only for Tunde after almost 3 years to now found his voice. This is the object of my discourse and I wonder why you are still confused knowing fully well that Tunde is aware that Buhari is averse to this noble cause of restructuring?

Great respect to Odumegwu Ojukwu who saw tomorrow indeed.

Orodje:
If truly it was revealed to you like you claim and you believe in your god/dream you dont need to campaign

Faith without work is dead! Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God

He is a well known controversial clergy man who has friends in the political circle. He is a friend of Muhammadu Buhari as well as El-Rufai and also.a supporter of Buhari's stance on restructuring. All of a sudden this same Pastor Bakare is saying this through this e-banner below. Comments please....

Fellow Country men and women, this article I am about to share was scoop from my Facebook page and was written way back January 10, 2018. Kindly follow it meditatively and compare the premise to what we have today as 2019 approaches. Happy reading folks;

I WAS NEVER A FAN OR A SUPPORTER OF ATIKU ABUBAKAR TO BECOME THE PRESIDENT OF NIGERIA...Until I had this dream revelation about Atiku Abubakar:

Before I state the dream I had, let me pray this prayer:

“Oh Lord my God, You are my maker and creator. I believe You gave me this dream revelation and I wish to state it as I saw it. May curse be upon me if I am making this up on my own and may I be blessed if I am stating exactly what I saw in a dream in Jesus Name Amen”

Here is the dream I had:
On a faithful Saturday afternoon I came back from my business to take some rest before going back. As I lay down to sleep, I was caught up in a dream revelation. I saw myself in a political gathering and everybody there was talking about  who would be the next president of Nigeria. There I raised a song which says:  Atiku is who we are going to follow  and the crowd joined in chorusing the song.  The next thing  I saw was a platform (Podium)  was set  and a golden  royal chair was put at the centre. Every one there was expectant, waiting for the person that would  be ushered to sit on the chair as the president of Nigeria. Many Nigerian dignitaries were present to escort the chosen person to the chair. The crowd were keenly watching, then suddenly the dignitaries  crowded around the person and began to escort him to the chair. Low and behold  it was Atiku  Abubakar  I saw being escorted to sit on the chair and as he sat down on the chair,  a crown  was put on his head, and there was great jubilation by the crowd.  People were going to the chair to congratulate him. As I  myself was walking towards the chair to congratulate him, I looked at the right side of the podium, I saw a dead body wrapped in a black body-bag about to be taken away. I walked to the chair where Atiku  sat  and  congratulated him and told him this memorable words: God has brought you to this chair to wipe away the tears of Nigerians and to do justice to all. After saying these words to him, he smiled and nodded his head in acceptance and I was happy for him. As I turned to go, I woke up.

LET ME SAY WITH ALL HONESTY AND HUMILITY  THAT THIS DREAM I HAD IS NOT A SURE BANKER THAT ATIKU ABUBAKAR MUST BE THE NEXT PRESIDENT OF NIGERIA IN 2019. THERE ARE PLENTY WORK FOR HIM TO DO TO REALIZE HIS PRESIDENTIAL DREAM.

However, the spiritual aura of the dream I had about Atiku was so strong . I told my wife about it, and also told few friends. Before I had this dream, Atiku had not resigned from APC or rejoined PDP. I prayed and told my God who gives me dreams and revelations, that I was not Atiku’s fan or his supporter. As a matter of truth I didn’t like him as a Nigerian politician. I prayed to my God to give me double confirmation of the dream I had.
While still praying to my God to give me double confirmation of the dream revelation I had, I was moved to do some research on Atiku,   Though, I am yet to get the double confirmation of the dream I had  from my God, the result of my research on Atiku , especially his position on the agitating issue of RESTRUCTURING of Nigeria, has made me to become a fan and a supporter of Atiku Abubakar.  Atiku remains the only top political voice from the Northern part of Nigeria calling for the restructuring of Nigeria. My God Whom I serve wants the restructuring of Nigeria to enable my beloved Igbo South East and other politically marginalized regions  of Nigerian  to fulfil  their great potentials in a  progressive united Nigeria.  I strongly believe that Atiku’s support for the restructuring of Nigeria makes him the crowned ONE .

Because  Atiku is in support of  our much desired restructuring of Nigeria, the only thing which would ensure Justice, Equity, Fairness, Peace , Unity and Progress in Nigeria, I  have taken permission from my God  to commit my time, energy and resources to work and support Atiku  in his quest to become Nigeria’s president in 2019, just as I did for Buhari in 2015.  Fellow citizens of our potentially great country Nigeria, you who love Justice, Equity, Fairness, Peace , Unity and Progress in Nigeria, please go to my page:

# I Support ATIKU For A Restructured United Nigeria - Isarun

To read Atiku’s well Atikulated views on the restructuring of Nigeria...and please share it wide. The strong points Atiku raised  are what we need to realize the country of our dreams...

Buhari and all those who says  Nigeria does not need restructuring are nothing but liars, agents of hegemonic slavish subjugation  and enemies of Justice, equity, fairness, peace, unity and progress in Nigeria.
