The man has achieved his aim...he has got everyone talking about Babajide Sanwo-Olu. The man's campaign strategy will be a case study in universities very soon. How he turned a hitherto unknown name to a household name in just about 4 months. Genius! |
ochejoseph: |
Esseite:Oh I didn't realise he gave all those pieces of information. Can you please post a link here so I can easily access it? |
Esseite:In saner climes, when you make an allegation, you are expected to back it up with proof. The onus of proof is always on he that laid the allegation. It is only in Nigeria that you lay an allegation against someone and that person is then expected to provide proof that he isn't guilty as accused. Everything in Naija is in reverse order. |
luluosas:Ohhh yes! I can't agree with you more. The way Eko DISCO is dealing with us in my area, I can't tell the difference between the old NEPA and then. Poor supply and heavy estimated bills! |
luluosas:Errrr...were the DISCOS suspended at anytime? |
Realboygenius:Naaah. The guy is out. Media agencies don't play like that. Do you know how much the careless fellow could have cost them if Guinness decides to take that account from them? I used to work in that industry and I know the sheer amount of work that goes into bagging one account, not to talk of a big one like Guinness. If one silly handler puts that in jeopardy, they won't blink twice before they kick him outta the door. |
Awol1:Please cut out all those religious sentiments! GOD DID NOT SEND PASTOR ENENCHE TO BE TELLING TALES AND WHIPPING UP RELIGIOUS SENTIMENTS IN AN ALREADY TENSE STATE. Pastor Enenche should know better. Do you know how far that story about the Agom Adara's unfortunate kidnap and murder and claiming it was El-Rufai that invited him to government house and then had him ambushed and killed went? Do you know what damage it could have caused if not that the Governor proactively stepped in to paint the true picture and clear things up with the family? Like the governor said, 22 people had already lost their lives before the damage was curtailed. Please lose me with all that crap. Let religious leaders stand up and defend themselves when they are found to have breached the law and stop hiding behind these vacuous claims of persecution. If all religious leaders preach incendiary messages like Pastor Enenche and his ilk, will they have a relatively peaceful country in which to build their "record-breaking" cathedrals? You want to show you are fiery and fearless in speaking "truth" to power? Go to China, Saudi Arabia, etc. How many of them have you heard going to those places to hold crusades and win souls for God? Are the millions of non-Christians in those countries not worth saving? 80% of the conflicts and crises we have in this country stem from religion. This is because nowadays, we have followers with milk for brains. Followers who believe anything they are told without bothering to run a fact check. Most of the charlatans we have spewing hate from the pulpit in the name of God know this and abuse the privileges they have been given. They set fire to the country with their foul heresies. We like comparing ourselves to Rwanda a lot. Well, why don't you google Rwanda and see what their government has and is still doing to religion...especially to churches, in a country that is predominantly Christian. https://www.christianitytoday.com/news/2018/august/rwanda-churches-closed-fasting-restricted-rgb-religion-law.html https://www.news24.com/Africa/News/rwanda-closes-thousands-of-churches-in-bid-for-more-control-20180404 https://thisisafrica.me/kagame-close-churches-mosques/ I see this kind of fate befalling the church in Nigeria soon, if we keep allowing these interlopers abuse the relative freedom of worship we enjoy here in Nigeria. CAN needs to stop paying useless trips to Aso Rock, endorsing politicians and crying wolf over some phantom Islamisation agenda THAT CAN NEVER HAPPEN IN A COUNTRY LIKE NIGERIA!!! CAN needs to focus on regulating the activities of its members; calling them to order where they derail, and meting out sanctions where necessary. Religious institutions like the Catholic Church have remained relevant for centuries because of its very solid internal regulation framework. If CAN fails to self regulate, very soon Nigeria will have a leader who will take that privilege away...and then Christians will know the true definition of persecution. |
seighapaul:Exactly! That is why we must always be careful about washing our dirty linen publicly. |
Naija why so serious? If comedians don't troll politicians, who will they troll? There are shows on American TV built almost 100% on trolling Donald Trump so PMB is fair game. Besides, PMB didn't cause this. It is the mumu Nigerians spreading the insane tale about there being a clone in Aso Rock that caused it. The comedians aren't really mocking PMB, they are mocking those Nigerians that believe the stupid idea. The President is being trolled on international TV because we first dragged him on Naija social and mainstream media. We are being laughed at for our ignorance. |
Blessed is he that started the project (whether GEJ or PMB) More blessed is he that completed it (PMB) Most blessed are they that will use it (The good people of Nigeria) |
Prior to the 2015 elections, the PDP did all they could to demonise Buhari calling him a Fulani jihadist and other such names. He wins the elections and the better part of his administration, he is accused of sponsoring Fulani Herdsman to further his Islamic agenda. They did all they could to fuel the media hype by attributing every communal clash anywhere within the country to "Fulani" herdsmen". Now this same PDP has a Muslim Fulani candidate and suddenly, the "Fulani Herdsmen" scourge has been lifted. The attacks virtually stopped overnight and where they happen, the media now attributes the attacks to "herdsmen"...the "Fulani" description has been lost. Afterall, who wants a Presidential candidate bogged down with that unwanted narrative. Now the argument is now who is more Fulani between Buhari and Atiku and the way to know this is that one speaks Fulani (whatever that is) and the other doesn't? It is now apparent that Atiku has a team of half-wits and utter buffoons running his campaign. |
HigherEd:How can a preacher of Bishop Oyedepo's exposure, education, and standing in global society believe that a family from Sudan is in Nigeria, threatening the powers that be and requesting for 50% of Nigeria's wealth ![]() How can the leader of a globally recognized church believe that the President of a country like Nigeria died and was buried secretly abroad, then was replaced by a foreigner that is such a look-alike that even his wife and family would not know ![]() How can Bishop Oyedepo claim he does not know that politicians who can conceive, plan and execute such an intricate plot would not be so careless as to leave any loose strings that would give the plot away ![]() Let us even say this insane plot is even true and indeed we have an impostor in Aso Rock. Does Bishop want to say he doesn't understand the virtue of circumspection given that he is a man of influence whose words are "ye and amen" for teeming members of his congregation across the globe ![]() Please let us call it what it is! Bishop has scarcely hidden his disdain for the person of President Buhari. I originally thought it was a general contempt for Muslims of the Fulani tribe given his numerous speeches where he railed against and even laid curses and spoke against them. But Bishop's recent public hobnobbing with another Fulani man in the person of Alhaji Atiku has made me realize that it isn't hatred for the Hausa/Fulani in general, but disdain for one Fulani in particular...Muhammadu Buhari! Bishop's recent sermon was fueled by that same disdain and in his blind hate for the President, he missed all of the obvious cues that clearly showed the write-up was a satiric piece and thus embarrassed the body of Christ yet again. I share your opinion that partisan politics should be kept away from the altar of God. The place of the priest is to lead the people in prayer for the peace of the nation and the wisdom of God upon the leaders of the land. The place of the church is to heal the schisms in the land and not exarcerbate them. |
Owambeuk:The prayer point is valid, generally speaking. God needs to deliver Nigeria from several sets of slavemasters. God needs to firstly deliver us from politicians and their lackeys that have sworn that this great country will not make progress because of their selfish reasons. Secondly, and even more importantly, God needs to deliver us from religious slavemasters who continue to spread fear and divisiveness across the land to the detriment of unity. May God deliver us from the clutches of these dangerous religious leaders who stand on the altar of God and daily terrorize their followers with stories and tales to stir up their hate rather than lead them along the paths that God would have them go in 2nd Timothy 2 vs 1 - 4 God bless the leadership of this great nation and grant them the wisdom to lead us right. God bless the people of this great land and cause us to find love for one another, without which we can NEVER move forward. God bless Nigeria! |
nairavsdollars:If Atiku truly authorised this statement, then he is not only a crook, HE IS ALSO MAD! |
May her soul rest in peace. Where is she buried? ![]() |
I drove around Lagos today after a long while and couldn't help but notice the posters of the APC Candidate all over the place. Sanwo-Olu's face and campaign slogans adorned Ikeja, VI, Lagos Island, Surulere...everywhere I went today. I barely saw Jimi Agbaje nor any other party's candidates posters around. Have the PDP and other opposition parties decided to concede Lagos to the APC without a fight? |
OEPHIUS:If there's any conspiracy at all, it would be between the media and the Nigerian Government...not the APC. The APC isn't the one promulgating a war against Boko Haram. The service chiefs are soldiers and not politicians and the poor soldiers been killed at the frontline aren't members of any political party. Reducing these unfortunate calamities to the level of party politics is highly disrespectful to the troops, especially those of them who have died in the ongoing campaign against terrorism. The Federal Government under President Buhari have so far failed to do their jobs and should be called out for their failure, just like the last government was. That said, I think the media needs to ramp up its game as far as reporting the ongoing war against Boko Haram. A situation where foreign News outlets like Reuters, CNN, AP, Al Jazeera, and the likes have their correspondents embedded with the troops at the frontlines of the war, while our journalists report hearsay news from their studios in Lagos and Abuja is an aberration. The Nigerian media need to tell the stories of these valiant soldiers who daily pay the supreme sacrifice for the safety and unity of the country in such a way that they don't end up playing to the agenda of the terrorists which is to spread fear, tension and mistrust across the land. Publicity is the oxygen that terrorists need to further their agenda. Am I by this encouraging the apparent media blackout of the Boko Haram crisis? HELL NO! All I am saying is that the media needs to evolve a better way of reporting same story such that it highlights the bravery of the soldiers who stood and fought to the last despite the dearth of quality weapons supply from the government. For instance, when a Newspaper leads with a headline like "Boko Haram Overruns Military Base...Kills 100 soldiers! Others Flee!" like you will read in the average Nigerian Newspaper, it goes a long way in furthering the agenda of the terrorists. It spreads fear and impugns the courage and sacrifice of those soldiers that most likely stood and fought till the last. The ones that are left become demoralised and lose the will to continue. Sometimes, beyond the guns and other weapons of war, all a soldier has is his morale. When that is lost, ALL IS LOST! Bottomline, the Nigerian Media needs to raise its game in order to become more relevant in the scheme of things. |
So this strange handle was created in November 2018 and has only 77 followers. Yet it rolls out a poll on November 19 and gets over 10,000 responses in just 3 days? Something even "influencers" with 1 million followers can barely manage? Interesting. Kontinu! ![]()

We all know the definition of orphan. I am sure Atiku does as well. He told the world in his submission that he "grew up an orphan selling firewood on the street" to survive. On his Wikipedia page and his Autobiography, he stated his mother died in 1984, at which time he, Atiku, was heading the Customs unit at the Lagos Port, had built her a house and bought her a car. In other areas of the book, he talked about the fact that his parents weren't super rich. But they were comfortable enough to give him a sheltered and comfortable life as a growing child. If Atiku's mother died in 1984 like he claims and he was already a "big man" in the customs having had a sheltered and comfortable childhood, pray tell, when did things get so bad that he sold firewood on the streets ![]() Conclusion: Atiku LIED! |
Gaslight /ˈɡaslʌɪt/ verb gerund or present participle: gaslighting manipulate (someone) by psychological means into doubting their own sanity. "in the first episode, Karen Valentine is being gaslighted by her husband" Example: Engineerboat tried gaslighting the entire Nairaland with his generic definition of the word "Orphan". ![]() |
I don't have such a great understanding of economics but even I know that Mr. Atiku's plan will only lead to an influx of briefcase investors. They will bring in anything and everything and make stupid profits. When it all goes south as it is bound to after a while (seeing that we run a purely import based economy) they will pull out their investments and move on to the next one. |
What happened to these children is very heartbreaking and unfortunate. Coming from someone who almost suffered a similar fate as these poor children while playing hide n' Seek with my siblings and other neighborhood kids, I can almost picture what happened. I was 5 years old. We used to have this old and disused refrigerator in the garage that I hid inside and locked myself. It was those types you could only open from outside (I guess the manufacturers never envisaged a situation where a naughty boy would lock himself inside it while playing hide n' seek). Anyway, I locked myself in there and when they couldn't find me, my fellow players moved on to another round of the game without me, children that we all were. They must have assumed I ran off to play elsewhere or something. Luckily for me, my mum suddenly noticed I wasn't in the company of the other kids anymore so she asked for my whereabouts and was informed I had somehow run off to play elsewhere. This piqued my mum's interest because I was the youngest of the bunch so she launched a search for me, checking everywhere in and around the house. When she didn't find me, she raised alarm and thus commenced a neighborhood search that I learned lasted for over an hour. All this while this drama was going on, I was lying inside the refrigerator having passed out from lack of oxygen. Thankfully, a member of the search party decided to take another cursory examination of the garage that had been converted to a store for my mum's sewing machines (she was a tailor in her lifetime. God rest her soul) as well as other junk materials including this old and dead refrigerator. As providence will have it, he just decided to open the refrigerator, not really expecting to find anything inside but behold: out tumbled my inert body after about 2 hours in the cramped interior of the fridge. Well as my mum told me the story, I was rushed to the hospital after the neighborhood "Aunty Nurse" failed in her bid to revive me. Thankfully, the doctors at the hospital fared better, and that was how I was literarily snatched from the jaws of death in the nick of time. Needless to add that my siblings bore my mum's wrath with some nice floggings seeing she couldn't vent her anger on me, "the innocent victim of their foolishness" that I was. They still bear that grudge against me till this day and wont let me hear the last of it. If we are all sitting somewhere and I disappear for a minute, you will hear, "Hope that silly boy hasn't gone and locked himself inside the fridge again o!" ![]() Also, the garage was purged of all the useless junk items stashed there and the access door was firmly locked. As a parent today, I'm extremely finicky about my children's safety around the house. I can't shout abeg! |
capitalzero:If he says he possesses one and you do not have any CONCRETE proof that he doesn't, then we just have to take him at his word. Well at least, I choose to. You are within your right to believe he doesn't have one. |
capitalzero:It isn't a possibility, it is a FACT. According to the letter, President Buhari wasn't required to submit any certificates at the time because it was not a prerequisite for admission. Still doesn't negate the fact that this whole drama around the basic education credentials of a man like Buhari is an unnecessary distraction and a big waste of time. He has spent almost 4 years in office and we should be discussing his performance rather than stuff like his secondary school certificate. If he is deemed to have failed in office, it won't be because he has or does not have a secondary school certificate. President Buhari will deservedly be on the ballot next year. |
dre11:Wait! DSP Ekwerenmadu has a recording that can potentially help the police solve this issue but Dec not to make it a available to them. Then he turns around to accuse the police of inefficiency? I don't understand. |
At this slow pace, Ganduje will have wrapped up his tenure by the time they are done. |

naptu2:I don't think the governor has the power by law to withdraw the deputy governor's security. As a deputy governor, the man has a constitutional and statutory right to a security team. Okorocha needs to calm down. |
The foolish things we do when we think we are in love sometimes come back to haunt us. Very sad what this young lady is going through. I hope this fake "pastor" goes to jail for this evil act. "Revenge porn" is a crime punishable under the cybercrimes law. |
So it is "common" visa to America that is freely accessed by average Nigerians that the person of an ex-Vice President of Nigeria is so excited about? But I thought his supporters said it did not matter that he has been blacklisted by US Immigrations. Now there is rejoicing in his camp over mere speculations that the embargo may have been lifted? Una no get shame! |
18Ebiscoo:I guess for the Arewa Youths Consultative Forum, it is a simple case of " Heads, you win; Tails, you win"! If the candidate of the PDP was from another ethnic group, they would be singing a different song. It is a good time indeed to be from Arewa ![]() |
