[quote author=BuddahMonk post=32688659]Congrats Emeka Idimogu, the Lagos governor in the making, a journey of thousand mile begins with

Fayose is a phenomenon! Unjustly impeached by Abj forces nevertheless he staged a come back years later to sack an incubent from office. The only person that has sacked two incumbent govs from office. Try to under rate him at your own peril. His traducers accused him of rigging the gubernatotial polls and he answered them by winning all the 3 Senatorial slots for his party (pdp) and also won all the Ekiti HOA seats just 2days ago thus sacking all the 19 apc lawmakers in the house. What a moving train he is! Fayose is just too hot for the Apc. He is a shining star in the SW. Ekiti people just love this man. Many Igbos love him because of his doggedness and goal-getter attitude which Igbos can identify with.

akinsadeez:
He must be kidding himself if he thinks that sham of an election would stand. I won't be surprised at all if the election in Rivers is cancelled by the court. All the local and international observers have come out to say that the elections in Rivers did not meet the minimum standard of conducting elections anywhere.

All Patience jonathan and the crook of a Rec have done is ensure that Wike is sworn in on May 29, but they won't keep him there forever. By the time the case gets to court, Jonathan and his wife would be out of power. Wike will soon experience what Olagunsoye Oyinlola and the likes experienced. Rigging can only get you into the post temporarily, it wont keep you there.

Just console yourself. It is not in u (apc) to conceed and congratulate the winner. Never.

Fayose, just ride on. You have proven again that the majority of Ekiti people are with you. Your landslide victory at the just concluded Ekiti HOA election is dizzying and proves that you won the gubernatorial election fair and square. Also all the 19 pro impeachment lawmakers received the angst of the people at the polling booths 2days ago. What again does the opposition want before they finally bow?

1984 'things' have started again in earnest. Nigerians should guard their freedom jealously lest we slip back to the dark ages when these 'boys' act with impunity during the General's first outing. This is democracy.

sammieguze:
Now, one lasting legacy GEJ will leave behind is his spirit of sportsmanship. Everybody now following his footsteps.



@ Least... The man will be known for something very positive.

Everyone following his example but the Apc candidates who lost stubornly refuse to conceed defeat and congratulate their opponent. Na waoo.

Aloralord1:
Baby, Abeokuta and Ibadan are filled with mud houses? Are u a comedian? U mean Mr Chukwudi, uche and co i know are not true igbos ? U can do better than this babe! They are still there oo and more of their relatives keep coming.lol

Igbos are adventurers and enterprising. Having conquered their immediate environment, they venture out of their domain in search of more places to conquere business wise. Some centuries ago Europe and America moved out of their lands into Africa, India, Asia just for the same reason Igbos are mobile in at present. Those Igbos in Ibadan, akure, Abeokuta, etc are not there as servants. They come and exploit so many business opportunities that their hosts don't see and at times this breeds envy in the hearts some lazy people. Don't blame the Igbos, its a gift from God to take root and germinate even in desert places.

The Igbos want fair treatment. All the Igbo dominated areas of Lagos cry for attention in terms infrastructural development. It will interest you to know that all the inner roads in OKota for example are not passable, not one is tarred and residents suffer this gullies everyday for sixteen years and still counting, ditto for Ajao estate Mafoluku, Aguda, Ojo areas and other places where the Igbos inhabit in large numbers. These people need to feel the presence of government. OKota inner roads are simply terrible. This is wickedness! So you don't blame them when they start to gravitate towards a man they feel wii alleviate their sufferings. That's their Principal interest!

O! How the Igbos missed the great, amiable and wise Oba Adeyinka Oyekan who took everyone as his own. A great friend to the Igbos and other ethnic nationalities resident in lagos. He'll be turning in his grave now as he sees how the present occupant of the revered throne is misbehaving because of filthy lucre. God help us.

Yoruba playing the second fiddle always. In 2007 the ACN went begging a Northerner(Mr Ribadu) to be their flag bearer. In 2011 they went begging another northerner (Gen Buhari) to be their Presidential candidate with a Yoruba son as his vice(Pst Tunde Bakare). Then again in 2015 it was Gen Buhari again with another Yoruba person(Prof Osibanjo) as his vice. Then you ask yourself why don't they want to present a Yoruba man as their candidate and insist on it? The reason is obvious, their Masters(Hausa/Fulani) will easily call their bluff and walk away. This victory is mainly a Northern victory 'cause in the final analysis it's the North that's in power.

In 2011 Presidential polls the NW did not vote for Jonathan rather Buhari got their votes in large numbers across all the NW states. Jonathan came second behind Buhari in all NW states but yet the NW geo political zone got these under Jonathan:
The speaker
The NSA
The Defense Minister
Chief Justice of Nigeria
IG of police
Education Minister
External Affairs Minister

Fast forward to 2015 President polls, in the SE, Buhari came second behind Jonathan in all the SE states just as in 2011 Jonathan came second behind Buhari in all NW states. Nevertheless they got all those, now some folks are debating whether SE should get anything in the coming Administration. Haba!

nawtikid:
D southeast who voted for jonathan as a result of sentiments and hatred 4 d northerners nw feel dey shud b considered for a huge government post.

I'm nt in anyway tribalistic, but I think dey brought dis discomfort upon demselves

I jst hope baba will du justice to dis matter

As 4 Tinubu, only God knws d intentions of dis crook

sai Buhari

What discomfort? Whatever that concerns the SE is always blown out of proportion. As has been observed, the NW did not vote for Jonathan in 2011 presidential election, Jonathan came second behind Buhari in all the NW states in 2011 just as Buhari came second behind Jonathan in all the SE states in 2015 presidential polls. Despite not giving Jonathan their votes in large numbers in 2011, the NW still got :
The Speaker of the house
The IG of police
The NSA
The Defence minister
Chief Justice of Nigeria

So likewise should apply to the SE now. Or is it different strokes for different folks?

Why all these killings. In this age when politicians change parties as they change clothes, decamping from one party to the other it's possible that those that are killing themselves today may find themselves in same party tomorrow. Then all those wasted lives become the losers as their principals close ranks. The youths should be wise.

THE FURY OF A WOMAN SCORNED! Oby Ezekwesili and Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala were in Obasanjos cabinet but after Obasanjos regime Oby was dumped but Yaradua/Jonathan retained Ngozi, ditto Jonathan /Sambo. For not retaining her, Oby doesn't see anything good in Jonathan government ever since. The Chibok girls saga presented her an opportunity to extract her pound of flesh. Madam should know that there are many other capable hands in Nigeria who can equally perform as much as her and even better. Her attacks on Jonathan are borne out of a perceived slight on her person. She should leave Jonathan alone.

OP, ur sense of humor na die. Truly those guys used to comport themselves well but honestly I can't tell what happened to their sense of decency once they picked up the broom. Anyway, the good book says that Bad association corrupts good manners.

Another press release from Ekiti state governor, Ayo Fayose. See below...

"Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose has
said that the All Progressives Congress (APC)
and its presidential candidate, Major General
Mohammadu Buhari (rtd) no longer have moral
rights to participate in the March 28
presidential election having lied to Nigerians on
several occasions. According to a press
statement issued in Ado-Ekiti by his Special
Assistant on Public Communications and New
Media, Lere Olayinka, the governor noted with
dismay the contemptuous manner in which the
APC and Buhari hold Nigeria and its people.

The governor, who vowed that Nigeria will never
be ruled by deceit, said; "In saner climes, you
can't lie and be discovered to have lied repeatedly
as done by the APC and still want to stand for
elections." He said; "The new deceit from the APC
is to use a photoshoped picture of Buhari for
posters in Lagos, making him look like a 50 year
old man, whereas he is as old as my mother and
cannot survive the rigours of office even as a
governor not to talk of President of Nigeria."

He noted that it was appalling that despite being
found to have lied on several occasions, the APC
has never deemed it necessary to apologise to
Nigerians for trying to deceive them. His words;
"First, the APC Vice Presidential candidate, Prof
Yemi Osinbajo, a supposed pastor posted picture
of Reinhard Bonke crusade on his Twitter Handle,
claiming that the picture was that of APC
campaign rally in Kano.

"Second, the APC claimed that Buhari made a
surprise visit to Chibok and went further to lie
that the people and parents of Chibok girls were
filled with hope and joy upon sighting Buhari and
his entourage, and escorted him into Chibok with
singing and dancing.

"Third, the APC cabal claimed that Buhari
travelled to the United Kingdom on a working visit
and used fake pictures to back up their lies that
Buhari met with ex-British Prime minister, Tony
Blair and had a television interview in London.
"Even when Buhari's wife admitted that her
husband was in the UK to rest, the APC cabal
went on with their lies, using pictures taken in
Transcorp Hilton, Abuja as proof of Buhari's
activities in London. "If a party and its candidate
could lie so brazenly as done by the APC and
Buhari, do they still have moral rights to want to
rule Nigeria?

"God forbid, can Buhari and his APC cabals that
are not truthful about their existence as human
beings be trusted to be truthful to Nigerians if
they take over power?"

Sir, you forgot the 'satifiket' issue. I wonder how a bunch nitwits on this forum still get the nerve to defend this brazen acts of dishonesty. Anyway, birds of a feather flock together.

Ayo Fayose Needs A Psychiatric Doctor- Igbokwe

The Lagos state chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has berated Governor Ayo Fayose of Ekiti state over his recent attacks on its presidential candidate, General Muhammadu Buhari, saying that the Ekiti governor is mentally sick and needs the immediate attention of a psychiatric doctor.

Speaking through a press statement signed by the Lagos state publicity secretary of the party Mr Joe Igbokwe, the APC boasted that not a million Fayoses can prevent General Buhari from being sworn in as the democratically elected president of Nigeria on May 29, 2015.

Read the full statement below:

Anybody who sees Ayo Fayose, the so-called governor of Ekiti State should please beg him to see a psychiatric doctor before it is too late. From the look of things now I do not know if the man ever sleeps at all.

From the look of things I can say authoritatively that he wakes up in the dead of the night to cry and curse the day General Buhari was born. I am sure he has fallen out with everybody; his siblings and members of his family included because of this Buhari factor.

After robbing former governor Fayemi of Ekiti State, Fayose has been on top of the world celebrating his so-called victory until the bubble burst.

When the result of the June 21 Ekiti gubernatorial election was made public I remember I told anybody who cares to listen that APC must find out what went wrong before it happens in other APC states. When the elections shifted to Osun State, APC knew that it has to stand up or PDP will get bolder and repeat the same onslaught.

APC took the bull by the horns and the rest is now history. Now almost seven months after, the sordid story of what took place in Ekiti began to emerge.

It took the well-respected online publishing company, Sahara Reporters to unravel what went wrong in Ekiti State. Nigeria and the world was shown the audio recording of how Ayo Fayose, Musliu Obanikoro, Chris Ubah, Iyiola Omisore, Police Affairs Minister, Jelili Adesiyan, Brigadier General Momoh and many others conspired to rob former governor Fayemi at gun point.

Ayo Fayose, Jelili, Obanikoro have since acknowledged their presence at the meeting but still denying the obvious and painful truth that they ordered the police and military personnel around and used them extensively to steal Ekiti State at gun point.

But the worst hit in this criminality and brigandage is the man Ayo Fayose. Never in the history of this country have we seen this type of abuse of the military in a civilian dispensation by a bloody civilian. Ever since General Buhari emerged the candidate of APC and the events that have followed his emergence Ayo Fayose has been a ghost of himself.

He fears Buhari more than anything under the sun. Even though Buhari is yet to win the Presidential elections slated for February 14 2015 and now shifted to March 28 2015, Ayo Fayose will not sleep.

He fears even his shadow and even a knock at the door by his siblings, his aides and neighbours. For Ayo Fayose, the fear of Buhari is now the beginning of wisdom.

This is the reason he wants General Buhari dead by all means. Fayose once bought the front pages of The Punch and The Sun Newspapers not only to pass a death sentence on Buhari because the man is 72, he used the same medium to mock dead leaders from a section of the country.

Fayose nearly provoked an ethnic war in the country but the situation was managed by leaders across Nigeria who rose in their thousands to condemn Fayose without mincing words. But Fayose will not listen.

Soon Fayose started the campaigns that Buhari is sick. He has been trailing the APC Presidential candidate anywhere he goes. He has been monitoring the man’s movement anywhere he goes. Buhari travelled to London and Fayose followed him to London claiming that GMB has gone for treatment.

Now can’t Buhari go for medical check up like every other Nigerian of his status? Can’t Buhari go for treatment just like any other Nigerian of his calibre?

What is wrong in anybody going for medical check up or treatment? When has it become an offence for prominent leaders to go for check up? On Monday in all the papers and everywhere on the internet, the mentally retarded Fayose said BUHARI CAN NEVER RULE NIGERIA.

Now who is Ayo Fayose in Nigeria that will stop candidate Buhari? Where is his capacity and capability to stop this movement? Who is behind this loose canon?

Who is beating the drum for this naked dancer? Of what meat is Ayo Fayose fed? I know that a million Ayo Fayoses cannot stop Buhari from being sworn in as president on May 29, 2015. I know Fayose is playing to the gallery.

I know Fayose is being tormented by his past. Fayose has two murder cases hanging on his neck. Fayose has used thugs to attack a High Court Judge. Fayose has abused the State Assembly in Ekiti State.

Fayose has abused and frustrated the Speaker by using five members of the House to impeach him. Fayose has used five members to screen his Commissioners. Fayose has passed the 2015 Budget with five members of the House of Assembly out of 26 members.

Power has turned Fayose to something else that he no longer thinks. Soon Fayose will be called to come and give an account of his open criminality and brigandage in Ekiti. Buhari will bring Fayose to judgment in the fullness of time.

The world is now seeing why Jonathan must go for Nigeria to breathe fresh air. Fayose knows that the moment General wins this election he has to run away from Nigeria.

He knows that he is sitting on a stolen mandate. He knows that he needs nobody to advise him on what to do the moment it becomes obvious that Buhari is the next president of Nigeria. A thief runs when nobody is pursuing him.

What a needless diversion Mr Igbokwe, where was the venue of that Buhari interview? Was it actually in London as Apc would have people believe or in some hotel room in Abuja as Fayose alleges? Why lie about something as simple as an interview venue? What does Apc hope to achieve by misleading people on this issue. There are many lies flying about. It's becoming nauseating!

synergycom19:
Why,when did JESUS ask people to register and vote in order to be patriotic,before accessing miracle?

Joseph and Mary were going to Judae to perform their civic responsibility (census) when Jesus was born in Bethlehem while they were still on their journey to Judea. There is everything good in encouraging the citizenry, both Christians and Muslims to perform their civic responsibilities .

Why are the opposition always quick to insult others and threaten violence. I didn't see where the Man of God advise the congregation to vote for a particular candidate. So why castigate him. These Apc peeps are becoming a nuisance.

PRESS RELEASE: Buhari, APC presidential candidate
undertakes a short UK trip
The Presidential Candidate of the All Progressives
Congress (APC), General Muhammadu Buhari today
(Thursday) left Abuja on a short working visit to the
United Kingdom.
In the course of this visit, General Buhari is expected
to hold meetings with key members of the British
political establishment and interact with some global
institutions with stakeholder interest in the affairs of
Nigeria.
General Buhari would hopefully give a talk at the
prestigious foreign policy hub, the Royal Institute of
International Affairs, Chatam House in London.

Damage control measures. This is a hurriedly arranged Press release to counter the obvious. Anyway I wish him quick recovery. More importantly, he should use this opportunity to sort out his certificate issue with the Cambridge exam board.

Former President Obasanjo did not get more than one vote in his native Abeokuta ward and yet he won the Presidential election convincingly. Nothing spoil.

If Rev Mbaka had not spoken in favor of Mr President some weeks back nobody would have raised an eyebrow. But after praising and commending the good works of Jonathan's administration he now makes a 360 degrees a few days iater to castigate the same regime that he praised to high heavens. Then discerning folks are wont to ask: What HAS CHANGED in so short a time? Or is he being emotional and reacting to some sections of the media.

Hmmm... APC HOOLIGANS rearing their ugly heads again!

Hmmmm...... from Pastor Tunde Bakare in 2011 to Pastor Yemi Osibanjo in 2015. All in a desperate move to win the Presidential election. This man wants to hoodwink the Christians by all means and before you know it his wife may 'convert' to Christianity to complete the facade.

I don't see PDP going far with Obanikoro. They should look for a better candidate if they are really serious. Obanikoro might just get the Omisore treatment if eventually he becomes the PDP candidate in Lagos state. Their (Omisore/Obanikoro) public perception is rightly or wrongly not excellent. Where is Jimi Agbaje? It was touted some time ago that he was in the race too. I think he is the best man for PDP in Lagos state.

Hello Octavo, do you have etisalat 250mb/500mb? What are your prices and payment method. Thanks

The opposition doesn't want anything that will shore up GEJ's image. They wish the bombings never stopped. They wish the Chibok girls are never released, nay not now that elections are approaching. The news about the imminent release of those Chibok girls made (them) to kidnap some more females just a few days ago. Voice of Jacob, Hand of Esau.

idumuose:
Even the statements. Buhari made in 1984 will surface soon.

You can't separate a man from his words. As a man speaks so he is... For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. Truth be told, no one can predict what that guy would do if gets to power. A leopard can't change its color.

Nigerians can abuse English language for state. Everywhere "hater". No more criticisms in this world. I wonder if that word is in the dictionary for thesame meanings we put to it. If those people were haters, is google also a "hater"? Many of us don't know how much she would have lost in law suit if things went to court. Don't ever pray for someone to feed off your sweat while you eat crumbs. Runtown used to write songs for davido until he discovered that he wasn't getting anything from it. Now see where he is. I'm not "hating" cos I visit her site too. But if she's guilty so be it. I. Like her and I think she's hardworking. Will you also call those that are richer than her and yet do not like her "haters"? Example is wizkid and olamide. If she actually did what she was accused of and which google confirmed then its plagiarism or stealing and we know what those that steal are called.

It looks like a whole pack of wolves have been laying in ambush and waiting to devour this hard working lady and it seems they have found a perfect opportunity to pounce on their hapless prey. Linda has climbed to the apex and not many people like her guts and hence this phd phenomenon is playing out.

Hmm! These guys are green with envy since Nigeria was declared the largest econmy in Africa. They have embarked on 'operation cease their money' with the hope that by ceasing our monies maybe they'd overtake us again.Too late.
