Personally I think lamido is a little misguided if he thinks PDP will put forward any presidential candidate aside from Jonathan. I think the fear of most of the northern politicians in PDP is that a Jonathan presidential candidature will provide APC a strong foothold in the north west, north east and states isuch as Niger, kwara etc in the north central. To me fighting for a power shift to the north in 2015 within PDP is futile and am surprised that a smart politician like lamido is dissipating energy on a political fait acompli.

biafran soul: Well, Mr learned man, don't you think a child of 10 who could at his age man a shop, communicate with you in English, sweet talk, sold and wrote the receipts of the alternator for you is destined for greater things in the future? Compare him with an average yoruba boy of the same age and situation? You obviously know the sharp difference right? Try and learn a big lesson from that

Good. does it , make child labour right?
the fact you do it and you have being doing it for long does not make it right , just as much as the same excuses does not make YERIMA 's justification for child marriage right. Forced child , marriage and forced child labour are both morally reprehensible and indefensible.
it is the mother of hypocrisy to justify one and condemn the other.

Sunnynwa: Can you please stop writing in all caps or I'll report you to the moderators as that is against rule 11. Well, APC is known for disregarding the law.

Thanks for pointing it out. see I have started typing in small letters now.

roxell120: evidence nd statistics pls.see ur life. miserable .there is a wise saying in my tribe :if u do not know wat to say in a gathering of wisemen, u better sit down and listen instead u make urself an object of scorn to the wise.

Your response to my contribution shows how truly wise you are. I could not make any single sense of the utter gobbledygook you spewed!

ketoprofen: yorubas are guuilty of all u mentioned plus they are stl the agberos and almajiris of d south.

So how much GDP do almajiris contribute?

Igbos import only fake goods? So, y do u buy them? Y cant yorubas start importing 'genuine' tnz demselves? Abi na so the laziness reach?

SO we obviously do not know what agberos and black economy people contribute. But we do know that legitimate trading only contributes 7% of Lagos GDP . To answer your question I. personnaly do not patronize these traders because I know that in their desperation to make money they will do anything.

ACM10: Mods, abide by the forum rules and ban SOFTWARE MAN

THanks for pointing this out. it was just a convenient way of typing for me. I will try to change. but you could have simply asked the mods to point this out to me instead of trying to get me banned

edunwosu: The other time, he went amok with blasphemous statement against Jesus Christ saying; ‘If Jesus criticizes Jonathan’s government, Maku, Abati or Okupe will say that he slept with Mary Magdalene.’

Here is a man who was not ashamed to ridicule our leader, former President Olusegun Obasanjo, in his book; ‘The Accidental Public Servant.’

To El-Rufai, Obasanjo was the best national leader only when he served his (El-Rufai) interests. The moment Obasanjo ceased to serve El-Rufai’s interests, he (Obasanjo) became, in El-Rufai’s views, ‘disgusting’ and a counterfeit born-again Christian who consistently puts ‘his personal interest before that of the nation.’

Now, El-Rufai is all out, singing despicable songs against President Jonathan, Vice President Namadi Sambo, the entire PDP leadership and also disparaging the entire Ijaw Nation just because he desperately desire the presidential ticket of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

why don't you just respond to the substance of what he said. don't be intellectually lazy, attack the message and not the messenger.

Ogoni militant: this shows you don't know you histor GOVERNOR OF LAGOS STATE 1977 -1978 Commodore Ndubisi Kali. 1978 -1979Commodore Ebitu Ukiwe

IT ALSO SHOWS YOU ARE A SMART STUDENT OF HOSTORY. EBITU UKIWE AND KANU WERE DEMOCRATICALLY ELECTED GOVERNORS OF LAGOS STATE!

mikeansy: Is Edo State New York as we speak?

Please provide evidence and clear indices to support your claim.

Is Edo State under Oshiomole better than the quality of Governance we saw in Cross River under Donald Duke's PDP Government?

Is Oyo State at the moment any better than Sullivan Chime's Enugu PDP led Government?

The suggestion that APC guarantees progress is a fantasy, it is divorced from reality!

IF YOU PROVIDE THE EVIDENCE AND CLEAR INDICES BY WHICH YOU ARRIVED AT YOUR CONCLUSION
THAT CHIME'S ENUGU STATE AND CROSS RIVERS , I WILL BE GLAD TO DEBATE ON THE BASIS OF SUCH
INDICES. SUFFICE IT TO SAY I ANSWERED YOUR QUESTION ON THE EXPERTISE OF APC GOVERNMENT WITH A COMPARISON PF THE RULERSHIP OF THOSE SW STATES BY PDP . I CANNOT DO SAME FOR ENUGU STATE BECAUSE
THOSE STATES HAVE ONLY HAD PDP GOVERNMENTS. THE SUGGESTION THAT APC GUARANTEES PROGRESS IS BASED ON THE EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE OF OGUN, OYO, EKITI,OSUN, EDO ETC. IT IS THE REALITY.

[quote author=Dat~ibo~boi]Thank you very much those hypocrite knows the truth but they won't admit it.
I keep saying this over and over and over again igbo's vote will always count in Lagos
Fashola will and should not appoint any Igbo leadership in Lagos. The battle is in the pole. Or maybe these generation of Yoruba are so so scared of heading to the pole to exercise there franchise .
Lets democracy prevail as they say majority carries the vote

Once again sunny thank you for helping me crying out loud[/quote]BELIEVE ME, IGBOS HAVE ALWAYS VOTED FOR THE OPPOSITE PARTY YORUBAS VOTE FOR IN LAGOS ELECTIONS AS FAR BACK AS NRC/SDP DAYS AND THEY HAVE NEVER BEIEN ABLE TO WIN ANY ELECTION FOR THE PARTY THEY SUPPORT. I MEAN NOT EVEN A STATE ASSEMBLY ELECTION.

mikeansy: The suggestion that APC Governor automatically translates to development is not supported by the facts

Any Party in Government House Lagos will have what will appear as a successful Government

The true measure of APC Government expertise is the rest of South West states? How are those States fairing?

WAS EDO STATE BETTER THAN WHEN PDP RULED FOR EIGHT YEARS? YES
WAS OSUN AND EKITI STATE BETTER THAN WHEN PDP RULED?
ARE SIGNIFICANT CHANGES BEING SEEN IN OGUN AND OYO STATE? YOU BET.
SIMPLE ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION.THOSE STATES ARE FARING WELL INDEED UNDER APC.

ACM10: Awolowo was stoned in Aba. Do your studies well.

AWOLOWO WAS STONED IN ANAMBRA STATE DURING THE RUN UP TO THE 1979 ELECTION. MAY BE HE WAS ALSO STONED IN ABA AS WELL. HE WAS PREVENTED FROM CAMPAIGNING IN THE EAST SOMETIME IN THE FIFTIES AS WELL .

ketoprofen: and how much GDP does agberos, motor park touts, and omo oniles contribute?

I HONESTLY DO NOT KNOW JUST LIKE I DO NOT KNOW HOW MUCH IMPORTERS AND TRADERS OF FAKE AND EXPIRED DRUGS, DRUG PUSHERS, 419 AND FRAUDSTERS CONTRUBUTE.

[quote author=Sunny_bobo]Just listen to yourself dude. No Igbo man begs Fashola to be appointed into the cabinet but every serious contender to the office of the governor of Lagos state knows that in any contest for that office between 2 strong and evenly balanced candidates, the Igbo votes would decide the winner. It is in this context that every administration would want to appoint Igbos into their cabinet do as to secure Igbo votes.

You just chill until you have an Igbo deputy governor in Lagos state.[/quote]IS IT ONLY DEPUTY GOVERNOR? WHY NOT CONTEST FOR THE POSITION OF GOVERNOR, SINCE YOU CONSTITUTE 45% OF THE POPULATION , YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO PRODUCE THE NEXT GOVERNOR OF LAGOS!
BUT SERIOUSLY, THIS GOES TO SHOW HOW DELUDED YOU IGBOS ARE.

Onlytruth: You cannot understand because you are not Igbo. It is not slavery, it is called APPRENTICESHIP. It has served us well through the years and will continue to do so. It actually gives us the competitive edge in Nigeria.

I do not support underage apprenticeship of course, but it is better than sending out a child to go begging in the streets as prevalent in your land.

Let me tell you something that I suspect you may know already: Igbo style apprenticeship is not easy and so far has eluded other African groups. You know why your people cannot copy it? You are too unscrupulous and dishonorable. You cannot abide by agreements! It takes HONOR, INTEGRITY and HONESTY to take a total stranger in, he serves in your business for 5 -7 years (not your fake 25 years), and you still abide by the terms of the original agreement at the end by giving the person enough money and capital (goods) to start his own business. It takes SERIOUS MORAL COMMITMENT -the likes of which is totally alien to your culture.

So, please next time you see an Igbo apprentice (whether of age or under age) quietly sit somewhere and look in awe and admiration... then try your hand at copying it. I wouldn't bet my 2 cents that you would succeed though. lol

ARRANT NONSENSE. EMBELLISH IT ALL YOU CAN IT CANNOT CHANGE WHAT IT IS: BARBARIC FORCED CHILD LABOUR. YOUR ASISINE JUSTIFICATION REMIMDS ME OF YERIMA TRYING TO JUSTIFY UNDERAGE MARRIAGE.

roxell120: whao.u dont ve any reason to travel out?no wonder u guys are bereft of ideas.they came here looking for that precious gold in ur laps which u find difficult to locate.thats y many of them are successful and ure envious of their ingenuity.digging water out of deserts.igbos are all over the world doing well, home and abroad.everything u see as a problem businesswise is a challenge to us.what boosts any economy is small and medium scale businesses which is the area we dominate and that's the way to go cos it can take any country out of poverty. but wait oo! did I hear igbos wants to take over lagos? a big lie.every igboman,wherever he is found, has two homes and one is more precious to him -his homeland.they are in ur land for business and investment while his heart is at home. there is no place like home. remember the british came to nigeria looking what we cud nt find, why is our lawful movement within our country a crime to yorubas? igbo are nationalists cos we mingle with every tribe within this fake enclave.what is unity people always preach about especially yorubas when they are afraid of associating or living among other tribes? inferiority complex does nt occur to only individuals bt also tribes. after the civil war, who should be afraid of who? maybe our counterparts are are afraid of our fast recovery from war ravages which is groundbreaking. plz stop being intimidated by our presence we are here for business and ur land remains urs my brothers. are u at peace now? ndonuoooooo! na our natural gift

SMALL AMD MEDIUM SCALE BUSINESS? ALL YOU GUYS EXCEL IN IS THE IMPORTATION OF FAKE AND EXPIRED GOODS, COUNTERFEITING AND DRUG PUSHING / 419 THERE IS A VEFRIF8ABLE RECORD. TRADING CONTRIBUTE LESS THAN 7 % OF LAGOS GDP. AND NOTICE THAT I THAT 7% RELATES TO LEGITIMATE TRADING. MY HONEST VIEW IS THAT YOU EXCEL IN ILEGAL MEANS OF MAKING MONEY BECAUSE OTHER NIGERIANS CANNOT MATCH YOUR LEVEL OF DESPERATION WHEN IT COMES TO MAKING MONEY BY ALL MEANS .

[quote author=Sunny_bobo]We'll reserve that for when he comes for campaign proper with his master Tinubu and Buhari. We'll also add rotten egg to the cocktail of ammo.[/quote
I SUPPOSE IT IS AN OFFENCE FOR A REGISTERED POLITICAL PARTY TO CAMPAIGN IN CERTAIN PARTS OF THE COUNTRY WHERE THEY ARE NOT POPULAR. SO GO AHEAD STONE UJARI AND TINUBU IF THEY DARE STEP INSIDE ANAMNRA STATE TO CAMPAIGN. WAS OBAFEMI AWOLOWO NOT STONED WJEN HE CAME TO ANAMBRA TO CAMPAIGN IN 1979? YOU DO NOT HABE TO THREATEN PEOPLE WITH VIOLENCE BECAUSE YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH THEM OR ELSE YOU WILL ON
Y JUSTIFY VIOLENCE VISITED ON YOU BY THOSE WHO DO NOT LIKE OR AGRREE WITH YOU.

Bobby4090: Most of the detainees that were dumped in Onitsha by this Fascist Governmet at 3am said the were formerly held in Camps in Ikorodu AGAINST THEIR WILL for months prior to the deportation. A particular girl said that her senior sister that she was living with didnt even know where she was till when they were deported.

Why should a democratically elected state Government be running and operating illegal detention and concentration Camps. Under what laws in the constitution does Fashiola use to operate these camp where be put those 69 ibos. This calls for a judicial or an independent investigation and charges of human rights abuse should be levelled against Fashola.

A tribal personality like Fashola is not what the world or Nigeria needs now or less he will set this country on fire.

PLEASE GO TO IKORODU AND SEE THE REHABILITATION CENTER IN QIESTION. IF YOU CAN SHOW ME A BETTER FACILITUY WHERE DESTITUTES ARE BETTER CARED FOR, FED AND AND TAKEN CARE OF IN THIS COUNTRY. ANY SOCIAL PROGRAM ON DESTITUTE IS PREDICATED ON THREE THINGS: REMOVE, REHABILITATE AND THEN

RE-INTEGRATE.. YOU SAID THEY WERE HELD AGAIMST THEIR WISH FOR SIXTH MONTHS BUT IF YOU VISIT THE FACILITY YOU WILL SEE THAT MOST OF THEM ACTUAALLY PREFER TO STAY THAN LEAVE.. PLEASE DONT TAKE MY WORDS FOR IT. GO TO IKORODU AND STOP THIS YOUR RUBBISH PROPAGANDA.

Tundeolaniyi: Believe whatever you like it does not change the fact about my paternity. Am a full blooded yoruba from Ido Ile-Ekiti if you must know. It feel so sad when my yoruba people support evil, just like they are doing in the case of fashola. Again look at the outburst of fani kayode, are you proud of still being yoruba after his comments about the ibos? which is only succeeded in showing how bitter and frustrated he has been since he was thrown out from govt and subsequently charged him for fraud. We yorubas should condemn this evil amongst us. I must confess that Fani kayode is a disgrace and bad image to we yorubas.

THIS GUY MISSED A TRUE CALLING. COMEDY! HONESTLY YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN FUNNY IF YOUR CASE IS NOT SO PATHETIC:

goodslayer: loads of yorubas get their alternative handles banned till 2016 and 2040. While sincere 9gerian alternative handle is still posting away why.

IF YOU THINK YOU WILL GET ANY FORM OF FAIR TREATMENT FROM THIS GUYS, F8RGET IT. JUST MAKE DO AND HANG IN THERE. UNDERSTAND THEIR GAME AND PLAY SMART. REMEMBER THAT TWO OF THE REFEREES ALSO PLAY FOR THE OPPOSING SIDE.

oga oam4j tell me why afam hid my post on this thread. This guy don start him selective justice again.

THIS WICKED INJUSTICE BY THIS TRIBALIST IS GETTING TOO MUCH. THIS GUY IS VERY, VERY BIASED AND UNPROFESSIONAL. RIGHT NOW I CAN NO LONGER VIEW OR POST ON THAT THREAD. DOES IT MEAN NO ONE HAS ANY SUPERVISORY ROLE OVER THIS GUY? HE CAN DO AND UNDO?

proO1: So Tinubu wants to install his obedient servant in Oke Mosan. Seems Amosun is not 'loyal' enough, having established himself financially and politically before pitching his tent with the ACN, which therefore means he has a mind of his own to some extent.

That sounds interesting. Let's see how the battle unfolds.

FIRST, DEFAMING PEOPLE'S NAME BY HIDING BEHIND THE ANONIMITY OF THE INTERNET IS HIGLY IRRESPONSIBLE.
SECOND THE STORY YOU ARE COMMENTING ON DOES NOT EVEN HAVE A SOURCE TALKLESS BEING TRUE
THIRD, IT SEEMS YOU HAVE AN OBSESSION WITH TINUBU HENCE YOU CONSISTENTLY BRING HIM INTO ALMOST ANY POST YOU MAKE.
FOURTH: GET A LIFE!

WHAT IS THE SOURCE OF THE THREAD ON SENATOR MAMORA CONTESTING OGUN STATE GUBER ELECTION UNDER APC?

IGWE MARYANN: Pilate... asked Jesus Christ what is truth? He answered: if you see truth you will know. (Fashola is wrong and we are tribalistic). THANKS

AND YOU HAVE SEEN YOUR TRUTH AND RELATED IT AS IT SUITS YOU. THANK GOD THERE IS ALWAYS THE TRUTH AND NOT A TRUTH OR YOUR TRUTH.
