Desola: Tinubu is intellectually and politically light years above jonathan.

However, when it comes to greed and impunity, none is better. They are both evil! I would rather see Nigeria in a state of anarchy than have either of those two lead it. They are both evil! Evil, I say!!!

Desola: If true, then tinubu must be uprooted and all his future ambition in Lagos and Nigeria must be stunted!

What rubbish is this! We shall not be put into servitude! Lagosians must rise against this evil! If left to his own devices, tinubu and indeed ACN might end up causing us even more damage than the evil PDP.

We must resist this nonsense!

barcanista: After 2015, Amaechi will humble like Atiku,Fayose and co. make him de continue wit him gra-gra... he's not the first and will definitely not be the last. GEJ till 2019(and beyond if possible)

WIZGUY69: so na wetin God send u make u com do 4 dis life b dat

lagerwhenindoubt: That is Science.. this is a supernatural phenomenon... have you not heard of the stigmatas.. brother there is a level where science reaches and God takes over.. (just a tinge of sarcastic rhetoric)

chronique: I'm from Edo state but unfortunately,can't live there. [s]Almost every home in Edo state has at least,1 cultist[/s]. Don't know what goes on in their heads but trust me,a lotta these young cats are sick in the brain. How they manage to waste valueable time killing each other baffles me.

bloggernaija: GEJ committed N900 billion to " fighting terrorism" in a single year and education/health/infrastructure got how much?
Smart adeyemi who professes to be a democrat does not see any wrong with that.
Spending such a sum to fight a few idiots who normally should have been routted via a focused police action is not exactly what you call smart.
Is exactly the picture of what nigeria has become.
Even the civil war did not cost as much as a tenth of this.
True democrats know that money meant for the welfare of the people is being diverted to feed Nigeria's brand new military/security /industrial complex.you do not hear the worldbank and the IMF complaining about this.
The other matter is that those who strategically look into the future know that it is dire.
The advise to the goodluck administration to thread softly from the progressives should not be ignored.fighting terrorism is one thing,killing innocent civilians which Nigeria's security forces do well is another.
From a strategic view point
Some of us can boldly see the same treatment being visited on the Niger delta in the future in the name of getting rid of militants.
As always ,only the weak will suffer.
Smart Adeyemi showed a lack of class as to bring up a politics into an event such as this.
Tinubu also did the right thing as to walk out of the venue .It is what decent people do.HE who laughs last laughs best.
I also fault tinubu and others for attending an event based on the new fad of going to Dubai to attend a silly wedding. Where next? St tropez to waste more money in the name of show?
Finally as long as there is a party called PDP in one form or the other,I will reserve my criticism of ACN for a time when the threats of this PDP's terrorism of the Nigerian people ends
Until that time , All hail ACN.
FACT :A man who is not corrupt is likely to surround himself with like minded people.

Brahhhh, calm your boiling balls, defense/research (in war fare) allocations are more than education and health care in the US too. Global security is now threathened, Nigeria is no exception.

vivianc: That's why They are called "opposition" parTy. They are There To criticise every move, decision, policy, eTc you make.

Do you expecT The "opposition" parTy To be in romance wiTh the ruling parTy? Hell no!

Nigeria is noT the only country with opposiTion party, oTher countries have them too buT we don't hear much of "crying" and "whinning."

That's how poliTics is played, if you can't stand the heat, geT ouT of the kiTchen biko.

akpomeme: Mr. Garri, first of all, I am happy you got the message you highlighted beyond the typos. You are obviously rattled by the valid points that I raised concerning the subjugation of Lagosians by Tinubu and his cohorts. Evidently true, I am an objective supporter of the government of the day and resides in Lagos.
You know you are good at pointing out your brain power and all, but that is the first point of weakness and self-delusion on your mental capacity – research “narcissus”. Secondly, look through your highly brain powered response and see if your punctuations and commas are on point…lol
The issue I have with guys like you is that you don’t focus on the subject matter which is “that the office of the President should be respected by those who seek to occupy it”, instead you validated my point by cursing further and referring to the President of your country as a retardant. What does that make you?
If an ACN or APC President emerges tomorrow, that President will be my President, just as Fashola is my Governor. I may not be happy with some policies implemented in Lagos state towards revenue generation but I will never call Fashola a retardant as you all have chosen to address your President.
My intelligent brother, an intelligent person does not engage in self-praise, the need to highlight how sound you are says a lot about Garri the 1st.

Garri the 1st: The bolded sections of your comment shows ur brain is a bit confused and perhaps malfunctioning. Can you prove the allegations you made against Tinubu in the last part of your post??

You come across as a GEJ attack puppy. Sadly. As evidenced by your horrible grammar, terrible diction and the abysmally poor spelling in your posts it is obvious you're unfit for that role. Praise singing requires some level of intelligence which you obviously lack in no small measure.

@Topic:
GEJ deserve all insults and disrespect he's been getting. Aside being a shameless liar, he is utterly corrupt, and clueless on issues of governance. An "ogogoro" motivated man without focus or vision who is on a mission to bankrupt our great nation.

This retarded dude of a president has insulted Nigerians on countless occasions. He has done this directly, indirectly sometimes by himself and at other times through his attack dogs. Till this Man stops acting like a Presidential M0R0N, he will keep getting insults from Nigerians..

I rest my case.

DailyNews: This is also one of the reasons most female celebrities jump from one marriage with one male celebrity to another because when they are with one of the male celebrities, they are busy having....what did you guys called it again pls ok...rush...or no crush on another male celebrity, and before u know it, they have married and divorced 10 men in their lifetime, what a smelly life...gosh...& believe me most of the ordinary girls that also have crush on male celebrities would have been jumping from one marriage to another if they were celebrity themself which would increase their chances of finding one to mess around with...but since most are ordinary back benchers daydreaming about some guys somewhere, they end up daydreaming & wishing in pains...so my advice to any person whose partner is having such illusion is to boot them so that they can go have a real crush with their admired celebrity. Its absurd to agree to date or marry someone & still be daydreaming of another...its sickening...and people should wake up & stop being misled or blinded by media life. Come to talk of it, their partners might even be cutier, more talented than those they are daydreaming to have, just that theirs wasn't on media or screen...really SMH @the kind of life some people live!

PapaBrowne: How on earth can we see ourselves as Yorubas?? Where do you live?? Why are Yorubas so love struck with the Binis?? Its a good thing though! We love you back.

First, Edos have a well documented history and culture that dates back to the 9th century. Well documented I said.
Secondly, Edo is a forbear of various ethnic groups both in the country and outside. These groups have their history and ancestory tied to the EDO heritage. From Uhrobos to Itsekiris to Isokos in the south all the way to Lagos in the west. Interestingly, the whole of Lagos traditional rulership was set up by the Binis. The word Eko is a Bini word. Ever wonder why it is called the Oba of Lagos?
While I wouldn't want to argue history here I would just tell you to judge between these two accounts

Yorubas say Oduduwa fell from heaven.
Edos say Oduduwa was the son of of an Ogiso whose name is Izoduwa(bini word) who was banished from the kingdom. The Benin account is very detailed and laced with real and practical stories and names. The Yoruba account is mere Folklore. Judge for yourself which is right.

The question should be whether the Yorubas see themselves as Edos and not the other way round. And I believe the answer is yes, which is why Yorubas have this love affinity with everything Bini.
