Thank you sir for saying the truth in a country where lies have deceit have been normalized. I hope they would not call you a "zombidient" for saying this.

ceejay80s:
I have noticed buhari and osinbajo not present at all tinubu's campaign, something is wrong somewhere, in 2015 tinubu was with them all the way, or are they not APC members again?
Are unthinking what I am thinking?.....

Because BAT claimed he made PMB the president.

Creamypie:
My mind tells me emedile and CBN killed hin

Kill him for what? Does his name ring any bell at cbn? You are just being mischievous.
RIP to the dead.

franchasng:
lol, Tinubu is a comedian na

Real comedian. He has made the whole campaign funny and lively. I am always anxious for his next outing because I know he will drop a blockbuster hit that will top the chart for weeks.

yarimo:
The same state OBI claim he made everyone as millionaire and billionaire

You guys are souless.

DispatcherLagos:
His middle name is Ayomide

lhordspy:
Comedian self want throw banter.

Retire him with this crowd?

I read your thesis on garagara gazelle and the rubbish you wrote there while trying to launder the gibberish your polical godfather BAT spewed, and was able to take peep into your twisted personality. Unless you understand your role in society, you can never make any meaningful contribution. According to the Greeks there are three types of people on earth,
The idiots, the tribesmen, and
the citizens.

Studies have shown that only 10% of Africans are "citizens".
The remaining 90% are either "tribesmen " or "idiots" .
When the Greeks used the word "idiot", they did not use it as a curse word. Idiots are people who just don’t care. If they write exams, they will cheat. If they are in government they will steal.
An "idiot" does not care at all, if he eats bananas he throws the peels anywhere instead of putting them in a trash bin.
"IDIOTS" do not contribute to community development. Even when they see or know about something that will harm others in the community they won't report it. When they see/know/have something that will benefit their community they won't share. "IDIOTS" will sell their votes for peanuts. According to the Greeks, some societies have more "idiots" than "tribesmen" and "citizens".
The next set of people are "tribesmen ", these are people that look at everything from a tribal point of view.

These are people that believe in you only if you are part of their tribe.
When the Greeks talk about "tribes", it’s not just about ethnicity, they also consider religion as a "tribe".
A great percentage of Africans are "tribesmen", because they view everything from the point of view of their tribes. They trust only their tribesmen. You can now understand why you this cognitive dissonance called blind loyalty.

The last group are "citizens". These are people that like to do things the right way. They will respect traffic light rules even if no one is watching them.They drive within speed limits. They respect the laws, won’t cheat in exams.In government they won’t steal. They are compassionate and give to others to promote their wellbeing. "Citizens" often promote projects that benefit everyone. The Greeks called this group the "citizens". Some countries have more "citizens" than "tribesmen" and "idiots" while others have so many "idiots" . This was what led us to our present condition and may also lead us to the next disaster waiting to happen. People like are the problem of this country.

Tinubuadvocate:
Oba of Benin is a father to all of us Tinubu is his subject and whenever the both need to discuss your ass will not know.

Leave Yoruba and Benin alone.stop inciting two brothers against each other.you yamari have been calling Edo prostitution all this while when election come you start correcting your assumption.

Go back to school.

Moh247:
Campaign for your Ipob candidate and let Jagaban be

He met the people.. the masses and that counts

You guys are chameleons. So to you, BAT is too big to say hi to the Oba? Tueh!

rolams:
Even Tinubu can't tell us this is what he meant by the statement.

I don't just know why some of you guys are so wicked and always failed to admit error just because of your selfish interest.

Though, I can tell you and you can quote me anywhere that, Tinubu is a very brilliant and intelligent man but that should not stop you from from admitting or correcting him when he makes mistake. He is getting older and the effect of diminishing return is setting in.

Therefore, there is no need for anyone to come and stupidly defend the undefendable.

What is the meaning of the gagaraga or what is it called?

Felixamos:
According to ihordspy, “Gazelle Gagaraga” means:

"Tinubu is going to change them from a boastful proud unsettled yahoo-yahoo boys to a product manufacturer and an intelligent creator".

This was his argument: “when we use the word gazelle to refer to person or group of people. It means Proud person, something that dont stay one place easily, something that changes location swiftly. Reason why when we say someone is growing gazelle horn ' it means the person is becoming proud".

I understand the fact that you have to defend your party flag bearer but unless the dictionary is re-written and the usage of “Gazelle” in a sentence modified, your answer to “Gazelle Gagaraga” is wrong.
Attached to this post are definitons of “Gazelle” from different dictionaries and also it's usage in a sentence. I’m not from Yoruba so I don’t know what “Gagaraga” means.

“Gazelle” has no dictionary meaning connected or related to “proud or boastful”.
According to Cambridge dictionary; a gazelle is an African or Asian mammal with hoofs and large eyes that moves quickly and lightly.

From my little understanding of English Language, I know for a fact that the usage of a “noun” in a sentence does not change it’s meaning.
If for instance I say; he acts like a “dog”, it simply means he exhibit’s some or all the characteristics of a “dog”. It doesn't give the noun; “dog” a new meaning in the sentence as ihordspy was trying to do with “gazelle”.
There’s no dictionary anywhere in the world that would define Gazelle as a “boastful or proud animal” and I challenge anybody to prove me wrong.
I consider ihordspy’s write up rather insulting to both educated and non-educated Nigerians than enlightening.
how can you define an animal as another thing and then when using it in a sentence, the meaning changes to something else? it doesn't make any sense and neither does "Gazelle Gagaraga" does. they may have their separate meanings/definitions but putting them together and trying to make an unrelated meaning out of it is a mockery to both English language and the intellect of any right thinking human.

In conclusion: this elections will come and pass but let’s not make ourselves a laughing stock to outsiders all in the name of being “political”.

attached to this posts are definitions of "Gazelle" from different dictionaries and its usage. read and see if you can relate it with what you wrote.

I love your write up and felt compelled to make my own contribution for us to understand the mindset of some of these educated "illiterates" who use sensitive public forums like nairaland, to preach falsehood to the gullible.

If this incident had happened in the east all hell would have been let loose by nairaland bigots who are only observing this thread and running away like dog's with tail tucked behind their hindlegs.

For calling out evil and fraud ?

You must be mad.

You are descended from the lineage of mad people. I believe that insanity is an attribute in your immediate nuclear family. Your post gave a hint about your personality. No wonder you found it convenient in replying my comment with the tag of madness

Ouch!
My sympathies. Well I will wait till you are let off the ban

lhordspy:
Lol.

I will never say something bad about an elderly person like Obj. Talkmore of a respected Yoruba elderstateman.

But we all know why OBJ is bitter and opposing Tinubu's presidency.

Tinubu has always been his nightmare. A pain in his back. It is like having to watch a particular person succeed and succeed all the time even after all the antagonism. The jealousy will start kicking in.

It is more like Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi tussle. Tinubu winning the presidency next year will make him the greatest Yoruba man alive in Nigeria political world. Just like Messi cemented his place after the worldcup

Ronaldo tried fighting it. Obj is hating it too

Take this your comment out of here, so outdated.

bdon123:
My question is was wike there...becos frm my little knowledge he was nothing in politics as of that time to hav such info

It actually happened. Some northern Turks led by Atiku, el-rufai et al boxed OBJ to a corner to secure his second term. But I was happy baba accepted their conditions but later dealt with them. That's why Atiku is still running up and down till today.

Wike goofed on this one. I don't like Obasanjo, but I don't support this public disgrace.

I PITIED my OLD classmate

Meeting an *old class mate,* we had not seen each other for about *30 years.* The Lord has been kind to me.
When I saw him again, this time at a hotel lobby, *he was looking simple.* He wore *simple clothes.* I felt touched.
He walked up to me and was glad to see me again. But deep within me I was not impressed with his status compared to mine and poor me, I couldn't hide it.
We exchanged contact details and I could see the joy in him as he collected mine.
I told him I will drop him home in my brand new *Range Rover* and I pointed it to him.
He declined and said he had already called for his car. It looked old, *a 2001 Honda Accord*.
I invited him the next day for lunch at my house. A part of me wanted to impress him, *to show off my success and affluence to him,* while another was to discuss opportunities and possibly help him.

He drove to Parkview where I lived. *He looked impressed with my home.* I had taken a heavy mortgage. *In fact I was heavily in debt.* We had lunch. He told me he was into small business and particularly real estate. I brought up more business discussions, but he didn't sound too interested. I asked him how I could help him. He said he was fine. I even told him if he was interested, I could help him secure some loans... He looked at me and smiled.

He told me he would invite me over soon to his place. His old car came for him. I was grateful to God for what I had. *“Fingers are not all equal”,* I thought to myself...I was lucky. I worked in a good place.

Two weeks later, we went to see him in a remote, my wife and I.
She was reluctant to go because she was not impressed with the man's status as to warrant our visiting him in his house.
I was able to convince her that we were close friends in college.
We saw the Estate. We asked for directions to his home. Those leading us spoke his name with deference.
It was a simple but lovely home. A 4 bedroom bungalow. I saw 4 cars parked in front. We entered his home. It was simply elegant with a touch of class inside. He welcomed us warmly.

Lunch was well served.
His wife called him Papa Onos!!!

During lunch, he asked about my MD. He said they were friends. I saw a company gift on one of his tables nearby. That company owned about 38% shares where I worked. I enquired from him about it. He smiled. *He told me he owned the company.* He also owned the estate.

_I did not know when I called him sir... I was in awe of him too._

I had learnt a lesson in humility, A big one. *Appearances are deceptive.* He noticed my discomfort.

Driving back home, I was very quiet. My wife was humbled and extremely calm. I could perceive the thoughts in her mind. I looked at myself. Living on loans, heavy loans and showing off while someone who pays my salary is quite modest and living a simple life!

Indeed *Deeper Rivers Flow In Majestic Silence*!
Adjust your perception towards others from next year and never under rate anyone.
*Read, learn and take a good step of change*

#Copied#

*Happy New year in advance!*

That's how successful guys roll, no noise about it unlike those paupers like LeodeServant and his accomplice lorddaviccoamateur who brag about on nairaland asking people to send their account details.
