There is no.good man with bad intentions...a man is judged by his intentions

It came to pass as it was stated


PDP will be digging their Own Grave if they accept re-run election.

By Soibi Ransom

The People’s Democratic Party PDP will be making a huge mistake accepting a rerun in the OSUN elections which were declared inconclusive. The PDP aspirant senator Ademola Adeleke is the true winner of the election having won by a reasonable amount of votes however the ruling party seeing that they would loose the state decided to fiddle with the number of votes allocated to PDP in some of their strongholds while increasing theirs in other areas.

Report has it that in two local governments APC had to inflate their scores at the expense of PDP. The decision to declare the election inconclusive is incorrect as the INEC has connived with the All Progressive Congress to rig the election in her favor. Senator Adeleke is the the people’s choice as they are unhappy over Governor Rauf Aregbesola who owes them a long list of salaries and pensions. It is assumed that the people are fed up of the All Progressive Congress.

PDP pulled a total of 254,698 votes and fee more than the APC yet it was declared inconclusive by INEC. Nigerians have been in limbo as to why Adeleke was not declared winner having fulfilled the conditions of the law which requires superior vote numbers and two third of the state local governments.

The APC have become notorious for changing figures whenever they are beaten at the pools with their National Chairman Comrade Adams Oshiomole a key player in rigging deals in the country. Ekiti State suffered during the pools as Governor Fayose’s deputy Prof Eleka was rigged by votes alterations.

The PDP should head to court to annul INEC’s stand on the election as it is a mere strategy to buy time to swing the pools in their favour. The results shocked the All Progressive Congress and they are in confusion on how to retain the state by all means.
The APC we have come to know will not conduct a clear pool which will produce a winner from another party and it’s fear that should they loose Osun state it will affect the Presidential elections too having to get the two third required by the law. It is important to prevent the rigging by all means now if possible head to court before Thursday the day for the re-run election. INEC seems compromised and will not allow Senator Ademola Adeleke winner.
This is the time to act and not cry foul after the deed has been done.

What Kind of Change

By Soibi Ransom

Change Change Change !!
The people yelled
They came and promised a change
A change without a basis for change
A change none cared to know

The people believed their lies
A story of change
Heaven on Earth they promised
No more pain they said
One naira equal to a dollar
Monthly stipend for the youths
The people believed their lies
In exchange gave them their votes

They came and started with excuses
Jonathan the problem they said
The opposition a band of thieves
Dasuki incarcerated for years
Diversion of funds they said
Shites mutilated unjustly
Their leader still in prison
The people asked for change
A change they never knew was bad

The economy entered a recess
Prices beyond normal
Poverty more than ever
Crime more than ever
Herdsmen now on the rampage
Killing a game of fun
The people asked for change
A change they never cared to know

Elections now inconclusive
Voters being harassed
Votes buying now the norm
Card readers must fail
Elections now like a coup
Democracy raped and despised
With the winners not allowed to rule
The people asked for change
A change they never cared to know.

Parallel government threatened
Parallel conventions they suffered
Oh what sort of change
Fuel now as costly as gold
They claim they sweep corruption
But their own homes are dirtiest
Their beds littered with dungs
Their cushions covered with maggots
The people wanted change
A change they never cared to know.

Intergrity they said he had
Yet his results are yet to be found
His relatives have fat accounts
His ministers bastardly rich
His son drives an expensive bike
Yet he has no sort of job
His children all schooled abroad
Yet he cannot pay for a form

FIFA has announced Luka Modric as the winner of the FIFA Best Award yesterday in London. The Real Madrid and Croatia midfield was given the highest individual gong in football for a great season where he was part of the Real Madrid team who won the third consecutive Champions League and led Croatia to the World Cup final.
The ex Totenham Hotspur midfielder was fantastic for club and country and seized maximum votes to clinch the price.





However the award ceremony was marred in controversy as many felt Cristiano’s decision to leave Real Madrid was being used to marginalise him and Messi who had been his compatriot in the ceremony over the decade was excluded entirely may be to pave way for other players. While Messi didn’t expect to clinch it because of his performance in the world cup. The Barcelona man had a great club form where he won the La Liga top scorer netting 35 goals and winning the League and the Copa Del Rey trophy. Messi was menacing by his acts and should at least have been among the nominees because he outscored Mohammed Salah and the Egyptian was trophyless last season. Messi netted 53 times and in 58 games while Salah netted 15 times winning with 32 coming in the League but winning nothing but was put ahead of Messi.

Ronaldo on the other hand was fantastic as he carried his team to the Champions League final scoring 15 times. Cristiano also performed incredibly well in the world cup though his nation Portugal had an early exit in the Round of 16. The European all time country scorer was excellent as he netted a hattrick against Spain to claw a point for his nation in the first game of the world

How Jonathan Caused PDP’S Downfall

By Soibi Ransom

Dr Goodluck Jonathan may be popular among his people, the international community and his party the Peoples Democratic Party after willingly accepting defeat in the 2015 Presidential elections to General Muhammadu Buhari but his role in his own defeat is something he too has admitted to shortly after he was removed through the ballot box.

Nigeria had moved passed the death of it’s President Alhaji Musa Yaradua who died after a protracted ailment and Dr Goodluck Jonathan has assumed constitutional rights as President being the next in line on May 5 2010. It was expected that Jonathan would complete the first tenure of his late boss, step aside for a Northerner to fulfill the party criteria for Presidency which was eight years for the North and eight years for the South. However given the circumstances that Jonathan was in many felt it was an opportunity the South- South could not afford to miss out on as such chance only occurs once in a hundred years. The South- South leaders also felt that their contributions to the nation through oil revenues should be rewarded now.



The Northern Oligarchy had demanded their own kinsman succeeded Late Yaradua but also Jonathan’s kinsmen had infused some audacity into him to take advantage of his proximity to power by declaring his interest. The sheepish Jonathan had initially said no to the suggestion as he felt it was against the party’s wish to let the zoning formula change to the detriment of their general interest . However with adequate pressure from some clergymen close to the Dr Jonathan, he had confidently declared his stance to contest for the office of the President. While he received great support even from his party men from the North. A few people ( the likes of General Ibrahim Babangida, Aliyu Gusau, Atiku Abubakar ) were not ready to step aside for Jonathan without a fight . But seeing that Jonathan had gotten favours from alot of his party members including the former President Olusegun Obasanjo, it was now clear that whoever tried contesting against Jonathan was on his own. Alhaji Atiku Abubakar dared to in the Primaries but he was beaten black and blue as Jonathan got the nod to be his party’

Politics of position, stomach and pocket infrastructure : An insight into the ‘’Myownisation’’ of Power by Nigerian Politicians

First I would like to state that the habit of decamping from one party to another is not entirely inappropriate but it can be for good at times. In several countries we see politicians decamp from one party to another for good reasons but this article is centered on the bad mannerism of the decamping in Nigerian politics.
The Nigerian political system has become a game of sentimentalism, bias and self deceit. It brings into my head flashes of my childhood. As a young boy, my dad, a civil servant wanted to buy a car, a car many would consider average, i so much did not like the car but when my dad bought it, I was elated, i tuned my mind and said it was a great car and comparable to a limozine. It also brings into my mind the footballing world, when Deco of FC Porto in a final against Mourinho's team insulted Jose Mourinho and swore never to play under him only for Jose Mourinho to be appointed Porto's manager in two weeks time and both became very good friends winning European and domestic title together. And finally it reminds me of when Luis figo once swore never to join rivals Real Madrid from Barcelona only for him to force a transfer when a tranfer bid of 50 million Euros was tabled. While it may not matter much playing for a rival team or appointing a rival manager or tuning a mindset of what we don't like to what we like, it must be said that the issue of political prostitution and self centeredness has to end in Nigeria because it is becoming too boring and shameful for our eyes and to our ears. It is what Matthew Kukar decribed as '' the myownisation of Power'' in his thesis.
Just recently the news that Prince Tonye Princewill of Labour party has decamped to the APC came with great amazement and at thesame time expectation, amazement in the sense that one would think that Prince Tonye would be abit different and principled and given how he was betrayed by the different political platforms he has tried to run on, he would may be this time around choose to stick his foot in one lane and hope that it turns out in his favour rather than jump ship and follow any tract where he sees footprints. But in General I am not surprised because in Nigeria the political system is not built for societal changes, it isn't built for public infastructure, social infrastructure or economic infastructure but built for position, relevance, fame, stomach, pocket and alert infrastructure of politician, their families and well wishers anything outside that matters lest to them. We have seen on different occasions in this country where a politician accuses another politician, labelling him all kinds of names, from corrupt, to insane, to clueless and any word you can find in the dictionary well suited to demean a man and later on praise him, deify him, eulogise him and paint him in the brightest and most attractive of rainbow colors.

We saw it first with Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, who in 2007 left the PDP to another party because of a personal fall out with the president then Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, he called PDP corrupt and band of robbers only to return in 2011 to pick the PDP form to run on thesame platform he called corrupt years back. And when he lost the primaries he ran again and formed a coalition with the current ruling party made up of a large group of PDP members. Again it reminds me of the statement from Chief Edwin Clark after President Jonathan lost the 2015 election that Jonathan lacked the will to fight corruption, this same man who ate and dined with the President and defended him alot when he was in power and being abused by the Northerners, did Chief Clark not know about Jonathan's lack of will to fight corruption? Did he publicly rebuke the ex- President when he was in Power? Why now that he has lost his seat? Why now? Why was it that after Jonathan lost the election newspapers carried that he was no longer having thesame level of visitors he used to have and people now wait hours in the airport for Gen Buhari to arrive, it also reminds me of the friendship between President Buhari and Bola Tinubu, two opposite people just for the sake of ousting President Jonathan, President Buhari almost picked Bola Tinubu, a known corrupt politician for the sake of enhancing his chances had it not been for the intervention of some party members who said Muslim-Muslim ticket would not work in Nigeria given the suspicion of islamisation by the christian community in the country. It also reminds me of Chief Barrister Nyesom Wike and his now sworn enemy Hon Rotimi Amaechi who after his dear Amaechi was overlooked for the Governorship flag bearer role when he had won the PDP primaries, in Chief Obasanjo's K- leg saga, went to Ghana to bring back his friend and motivate him to fight the decision in the supreme court to oust the then Governor, Chief Celestine Omehia, but fast foward the years, Rotimi Amaechi and Wike are now sworn enemies, bashing each other in the press and this same Celestine Omehia, who Wike helped remove as Governor is now seen parading around Chief Wike just for the sake of contracts and relevance through positions and other benefits. It brings into my mind Chief Fani Kayode who was seriously blasting President Jonathan in his speeches and all of a sudden stopped when he was offerd a job as the Spokesman for the Jonathan campaign. Do i go on to mention the Obanikoro and Tinubu case, and other of such cases, i would not end my thesis if I do. Today you see Governor Fayose bombing President Buhari and APC but come 2019 he may run as a Vice to someone in that party and when it does happen you will see the height of our political deceitfulness. it makes me wonder why the common man must kill himself and take risks to steal a ballot box and speak out or do a sit in or a public protest to defend the interest of these callous people. If there is any lesson to be learned in Nigerian politics it is do not kill yourself to save a politicians career, do not risk your life, or your comfort because they dont care about you. They do not care about your life or your walfare. Politics is about feeding the stomach, the ego and the pocket of our politicians and not about good leadership or governance. As President Obasanjo once put it '' Fani Kayode is my boy, if you give him food he will sing and dance for you, he is my boy a very smart boy''. The disagreements between politicians is never about principle it is a fight to ensure that no one stops their choppings or relevance, it is never a fight of integrity but for continued bank alert. We all have to be careful and not take our political class for god, they will never make permenant enemies, they don't mind reconciling with the devil just for the sake of position, stomach and pocket infastructure, so my dear friends and citizens please be Wise!
