words of wisdom from a person i dont like very much

hmm

jjcbuthot: Dele Momodu spoke like a fool that he is.

So, to the narrow thinking of Dele Momodu, the next president if there is a change of government must still come from PDP?

Tambuwa/Ameachi - interesting contribution from a self-defeated contender.

did u really digest everything the man wrote carefully ?

i knew my people will come . hehehehee

[quote author=Pvt. Parts]He is clueless as of what to do with money in bettering his state.

He is the kind of Gov. that will be hoping on an increase from the Federal Purse to demand a higher share.
Just like they conveniently remained silent during the Fuel subsidy palaver only to bare their fangs demanding more money from the pot. These are the kind of governors that will look envyingly at the allocation going to the oil producing states without looking in wards to develop whatever resources (both human and industrial) in their states.
So instead you have a Gov. whose basic function is to:
1. act as paymaster in the moribound state civil service (a sector that is more of a blight to the state)
2. Award contracts on projects that have little or no significant developmental bearing to the state as a whole


He is plain clueless.[/quote]

barcanista: @texaco: where did you get the idea that hilda williams won the pdp primaries? KORO won squarely and KORO lost the governorship election due to reasons pointed in my above post. Can you dispute that?

Lagos: Obasanjo's Decision Overturns Initial Result
--------------------------------------------- ------

2. (U) In Nigeria's most populous state, Senator Musiliu
Obanikoro won a December 13 runoff election against Hilda
Williams, widow of PDP aspirant Funsho Williams, who was
murdered on July 27.

3. (C) The media had earlier reported Williams victorious.
Guardian Political Editor Idowu Ajanaku told Polspec that
after the initial runoff PDP leaders had declared Williams
the winner, carrying out PDP National Deputy Chairman Bode
George's desire to have a candidate he can control. (Ref A)
At the time, President Obasanjo supported the move, Ajanaku
said. However, Obanikoro protested that there was a miscount
in the primary and took the case to the National PDP for
arbitration. According to Ajanaku, at this juncture,
Obasanjo sided in favor of Obanikoro. Apparently, Obanikoro
was able to get some influential allies on his side. One was
PDP Board of Trustees Chairman Anenih; the other was
President Obasanjo's daughter.

4. (C) Professor Adeolu Durotoye, Political Science Lecturer
at the University of Ibadan, told Poloff that PDP members saw
Obanikoro as more favorable to the Lagos polity than
Williams, who prior to the primary had never run for
political office and did not even reside in Lagos before her
husband's murder.

5. (C) Grassroots PDP politician and post contact Gbenga
Awosanya was present to witness the primary vote. Awosanya
told Polspec that although the election was subject to
manipulation, there was no violence. Awosanya had been
concerned that the National PDP was attempting to foist
Williams on an unwilling PDP electorate, and voiced his fear
to Polspec before the primary. Awosanya said that he and
others in the Lagos PDP are starved for a winner, and
Awosanya would likely leave the PDP if Obanikoro did not win "

"Later career

In April 2007 Musiliu Obanikoro ran for governor of Lagos State on the PDP ticket, but lost the election to Babatunde Fashola of the Action Congress.[3] The election was marred by violence. In one incident, Musiliu Obanikoro was said to have narrowly escaped death in an armed attack on his car in Ikeja.[7] His nomination as PDP candidate was controversial. Hilda Williams, widow of the murdered Engineer Funsho Williams, had been declared winner of the Lagos PDP primaries, but the PDP National Executive Committee (NEC) led by Ahmadu Ali gave the ticket to Obanikoro. The disunited PDP under Bode George also lost the Lagos State Senate and all but one House of Representatives and 37 State House of Assembly seats to the AC.[8]

In a newspaper interview in July 2007, Obanikoro called on the Federal Government to declare a state of emergency in Lagos State, claiming that infrastructures and values had completely collapsed.[9]

President Umaru Yar'Adua appointed Musiliu Obanikoro as Nigerian High commissioner to Ghana in May 2008.[10]

Divisions between factions in the Lagos State PDP which had surfaced before the 2007 elections continued until a series of meeting in October 2009, where the differences were resolved.[11]"


the party nomination.

despite the fact that i dont like this man much i must admit he made some reasonable sense in this write up and some of his assumptions and assertions are correct.

we are here already,just taking our time

dayokanu: Some people would soon come here and find something wrong with not borrowing

@op,i understand ur views ,but despite the fact that koro is a strong force withing the state pdp and a force to reckon with in lagos state politics ,i dont think he can win the lagos state governorship,
op,you have to remember that even in 2007 funsho widow defeated him and he only got the party ticket because obj insisted that he shoud be given.notwithstanding anyone party or politician that underrates koro influence in lagos state politics does so at his or her own peril.koro may not be able to win the governorship but he has the capacity to influence the final outcome of the race both withing the party and withing the state

debayun: So?

i wonder oooo

kITA TITA: I like him too. He's not pretentious. He is blunt and sincere. Besides, OBJ means well for Nigeria

he is a true NATIONAL LEADER

dgitrader: buhari is a smart general, he knows the political field very well, he knows his chances are slim and he isn't contesting anymore. But he will certaining be in the corridors of power, going by the present politics of ethnicity. Focusing on buhari's candidacy is completely illogical in the future scheme of things

this is one fact ppl are not looking at.BUHARI WILL NOT CONTEST.even apc wont give him the ticket but he wants to be in a political party that has political future.even in the south west buhari will lose woefully,apc wont take chances .so the issue of yorubas rejecting buhari is foregone issue.

although i have never been to warri but the stories i have been hearing about the place always makes me dread even passing through.
stories of waffy boys stabbing ppl,rape and robbing ,i dont know if it is true but many outsiders believe that warri is a dangerous place to visit and to be in

ogundipe lara: I hrd sme tymes ard june 27 android wud be able to download bbm application so y dont u wait for sme few wks to get an andriod.

i think it is only the pinging and some other applications that will be allowed on android ,blackberry will sti retain their browing platform ,i think.
@op,there is nothing specia about bb apart from the pinging,i once used bold 2 and bold 3 i sold them after 2 weeks ,bb batteries are bad BUT in a country like nigeria bb remains the number one choice for CHEAP mobile internet connection.that is the truth.if u buy an android expect to spend up to 3k on the megabyte that bb will give u for just 1k
but in terms of functions and other things i personaly feel that anroids are better.
even in most west african countries bb arent popular because data is cheap,i dont know why our networks are just exploiting nigerians

i think u have a point

biafranqueen: Upper Middle class professionals are 13% of US population check out this link http://www.afdb.org/fileadmin/uploads/afdb/Documents/Publications/The%20Middle%20of%20the%20Pyramid_The%20Middle%20of%20the%20Pyramid.pdf

I agree that majority of professionals suffer from ("keep up with the jones) syndrome they even call my husband jew man to his face but we will laugh last but check out your own country middle class in that link and that was 2006 7 years ago this little research opened my eyes to how well citizens in Gabon are doing Botswana has 20% upper middle class in 2006 who knew to America's 13% that is really mind blowing and got me thinking we are investing in the wrong African country!

nigerians are pouring into ghana everyday,chinesse ,europeans and americans are pouring into accra everyday to invest and set up small small companies yet a ghanian believes that there is nothing there!what that guy doesnt understand is that the kind of profit these white or foreigners make in ghana they cant make the same profit in their country,and also the amount of 10000 ghana cedis that ppl save to get an american visa is the same amount of money these foreigners bring into ghana to estabish themselves .like i have said earlier you willl never know until u have left ur place ,it is then ur eyes wil open to see the wonderful opportunities u have left behind.

surveycash:
Same reason I find it difficult to share info of recent

when i complained about ppl asking too many questions wthout wanting to do research many ppl here said i was talking too harshly that i shoud allow ppl to ask.
now u guys can see how irritating it can be.

Lilnikee: Killer Squad!

pls can u state ur reasons for calling this list a killer squad?maybe i am missing something which u know.

DJDOLA: Well somthing like dis do happen here in nigeria so no need 2 tell them 2 come back home...that place is even safer than nigeria I think...at least does criminal are in police custody

what sort of comment is this?smh

biafranqueen: I am not complaining I am telling you the facts of life in America. There are so many opportunities in Nigeria and Ghana. My family that has business in both countries are doing way better then any MIDDLE CLASS living in US. I do not aspire to be a middle class as you do I plan to leave a legacy and create an industry and my husband and I are doing just that with Agriculture in Nigeria. The opportunities are far greater in Africa where the industrial revolution has just begun. Have you ever lived in America.

pls help me tell them oooo.they think we are trying to discourage them

trappatoni: one day we shall all die and give account to our creator,actions shall be judged according to intention on that day,these little things will land a lot of people in trouble on that day.what is hard in saying the truth

and what is the truth ?

django1: One thing that can fall ajimobi is the indiscriminate displacement of traders. People are really not happy about it.

thank god that now u are seeing reason with me,he is trying no doubt although i wont vote for him but in his stride to make an impact he is stepping on the masses toes.that is where the danger lies.in the case of lagos state fashola stepped on toes but majority didnt mind and tinubu was at the background doing the supporting job for him.acn doesnt have that kind of person in oyo state ,the masses are feeling detached and oppressed

the funclub enterprise: Yea, most of them are the same, although some are rubber material the cheaper ones, go for the metalic type.Be careful though, make sure you are getting it from a reliable seller, the 1st set I ever got were funny , it had little metal bubble gaps ( that tin wen if u press d metal e go break....lol) thank God it was only 2 pieces I got then. I run from the seller immediately!! Will look for the link from a reliable seller , and paste for you later on.

I have a lot of it and can sell to you for a good price of 1200 if you buy an moq of 5 pieces(I sell @ 2k normally), will sell 1k each for 10 pieces.

Its a fine watch, I even wear one myself ( yes o!, I de advertise my goods for my body)

To whom it may concern:
If you don't want to stress yourself and order, we could always work together, I could part away with goods for you at almost the price its sold at aliexpress, will just take 30% - 50% gain depends on availability and the amount you need (if its sold N100, I may give you N130-150).

open a new thread ,and make the picture more attractive .so also the price .u will get customers .

Idazinim: It is a settled case. We are all aware He won. I salute his Humility in his NO VICTOR, NO VANQUISHED Statement in his Press Briefing after the Election. If only the Detractors understand what this STATEMENT means................

ok so what were u expecting him to say? that he is happy he won?he is a politician what he said in that statement is what any politician in this world will say.there is nothing new about that

everyday: Why cant the police arrest all these politicians who are looting our money.

even if they arrest them,they always use the plea bargain to escape any serious sentence

deeptesting: Ok we have heard........waiting for the top polithiefcians to be caught in a sting operation and be paraded.
Good work EFCC.

the one that was caught wetting happen?these boys will be charged to court .plead not guilty ,granted bail,case will be adjourned then matter die

akinalabi: Even though you are too biased and PDPish for my liking, I must confess you know what is on ground as per Oyo state politics.

Holding the Ibadan South West results was a deliberate ploy. Everyone wanted to see the results from Ogbomosho first. They knew that was Akala's joker so Ibadan South West was the ultimate joker.

thanks .i always state it clearly that ajimobi is trying no doubt but i know that pdp will go all out to capture that state with all legal and illegal means and ajimobi is somehow making it easy for them to beat him.he ajimobi has to start appealing to ppl now so has to gain the confidence back

anonimi:
Does anyone know why ACN supporters are so prone to LIES, LIES and even more LIES
I guess it is no coincidence they have Mr. Lie Muhammed as their National spokeperson.
You guessed right, his main job is to tell LIES to the public.

Ibikunle Amosun was PDP's Ogun Central Senatorial district SINator (2003-2007) and was suspended for one month in 2005:



At this rate I may have to look out the window whenever a supporter of ACN says Good Morning.
You never know!!!

you should have noticed that i ignored him once he made that comment because definitely i knew maybe he was in primary school then when ibikunle was in pdp.
whenever ppl make duummb comments like that pls bro just ignore them.they think 2015 elections will be conducted on nairaland

ckkris: JONA wins 2015

like i have always said THERE IS AND THERE WILL BE NO VACANCY IN ASO ROCK

gohome: Jonathan is smart after all. With all this, he might just clinch the PDP ticket. As I have always said, the PDP ticket is Jonathan's main problem, if he wins the primaries, he will return as president.

Before now, the question was how especially when he had Overambitious governors from the North, the likes of Lamido, Aliyu etc. and the South South guy. These guys have huge PDP presence in their state and can sway their delegates to vote their interest. The Govornors forum just exposed the ambitious in these ways

1. NO GENTLe MAN AGREEMENT .
Jonathan will be going into the PDP primary knowing his enemies, unlike Akpabio and yaguda and Jang that foolishly agreed to an election hoping on a gentle man agreement.

2. SUSPENDED PDP GOVORNORS CAN'T PARTICIPATE IN THE PRIMARIES

The likes of Wamako and and Amechi if they remain suspended wont vote and be voted for. It will mean delegates from these state will mostly likely be in Jonathan's control. The Niger state Governor should read in between the lines and keep quite just like Lamido is doing to avoid being suspended. At the moment Jonathan prefers Govornors loyal to him than those that aren't. The reason is simple, that's the only way he will win.

3. THE WAY FORWARD FOR JONATHAN IS NOW CLEAR AND EASY

The road to victory is now clear and I will add very easy for Jonathan in the primaries and the general election. From the NGF election, it has clearly shown who is for who. Jonathan has secured his friend. Also, from the data we have of those that voted, more PDP Govornors voted for Jang. Though a number in the North and of course the ACN did not. Now projecting forward to the presidential election proper, the North is lost, it can not be swinged, APC will clearly win there by votes and rigging. pDP will only pick up crumbs from states like Sokoto, Kastina, Zamfara, Adawama etc. Kaduna with a voting strength of 1M will be 50-50.The North Central will be all PDP, including Nasarawa state. The SS and SE will be 101% PDP including rivers and IMO both by votes and rigging. Depending on the APC candidate the SW may just be 50-50. At least Lagos will be. This is what will matter for PDP. APC should think very well here.


In summary, it is a big shame that pDP will return in the federal level, the opposition and the over ambitious are playing catch up. Nigeria will have another 4 years of darkness.

thanks for educating them here,i dont know how some ppl believe that a party with over 23 state governors will lose the presidency.whoever emreges as pdp candidate will be nigeria president .
