emiye: That was a decoy statement from Akala, if he truly feared Ladoja, he would not voice it in public space,except through actions. I am sure he was happy to have 2 strong ibadan politicians contesting against him rather than one for obvious reasons. In politics, you pray that your main oppositions are polarised, that way you are more strengthened.


In 2011, those who believed Akala had performed poorly needed a new choice, they were faced with a choice of ajimobi (a former senator) OR Ladoja( a former governor). That is not to say PDP did not lose some votes due to Ladojas move to a new party, but the opposition parties were the biggest loser, most especially when the main opposition parties candidate are from the same region.

i never said that he made those statements in public.the internal friction withing the pdp and the enterance od ladoja was what tilted the election in favour of ajimobi or his acn,one a good day acn can never beat a united pdp in oyo state but lets just wait and see what happens in 2015

the funclub enterprise: Bros try it on small scale o!, be careful, some may come not as fine as what you saw online, I have dashed out many jeweleries out of my stock in the past because they weren't all that fine and fancy on ground.

Good luck though!

my thoughts exactly.but the ones u eventualy sold were they the cheap ones or expensives ones?
i once bought some goods from uk to south africa ,when the goods arrived in sa the buyer refused to pay or accept them because they were of inferior quality
thanks for the wonderful advise and words of caution

anslem kel: This is very interesting. When it comes to politics in the SW, Oyo state is a politically intense state and the battle for 2015 has just begun. With Ladoja and Akala joining forces to wrestle power from the incumbent Ajimobi of the ACN in 2015, it couldnt be more interesting than this. No doubt, the former govs are forces to reckon with in Oyo politics but the achievements of the incumbent gov will be a big obstacle to the two political gladiators. I see the former govs teaming up to raise a consensus candidate that will give the incumbent gov a good run for his money. Any angle u wanna look at it from, the fact remains that the polity is heated up and its getting more interesting and we the political spectators are watching as events unfold

akinalabi: No need to laugh brother. Watch as events unfold.

Akala is eyeing Oyo North Senetorial ticket. The incumbent, Hosea Agboola (Akala's protege) is not letting go and he is now popular among the PDP power brokers. He will get the ticket again.

Akala has to look elsewhere for a platform to use because he knows without getting up from bed, he will defeat him.

where is agbarapo?has he left the pdp?

i like ur style , i like ur spirit and i like ur faith .
the number one thing on pdp members from state to federal is to win back the state and if that means sacrificing akala no problem there are plenty of compensations for him , from board chairman to ambassadorial post of even nnpc contracts , the main agenda on ground is pdp must win

akinalabi: You cant take control of PDP Oyo state just by bringing Akala in. There are too many stakeholders in Oyo PDP. Akala does not control the PDP.

Ladoja is not going to the PDP. The question is Is Akala going to Accord?

guy you make me laugh , akala to accord ?
you dont understand pdp and i will answer u .which party has the machinery to give juicy contracts,juicy federal appointment like pdp ?all these ppl mimiko,ladoja ,fayose are all pdp member forget story when the time comes u will see

Urine: You sound like a person that knows a lot about Oyo politics. Do you think an Ibadan man will team up with an Ogbomoso man to fight another Ibadan man? This is a trap for Akala, Ladoja wants to take control of the PDP. If you don't have the support of Ibadan folks you can't win the governorship election. At the end of the day, the next Governor will be determined by the Ibadan elders and we both know their decision will be final. Akala is not in the good books of Ibadan and Oke Ogun folks, he can only deliver Ogbomoso votes.

thank you , ladoja is a politician and he knows what he wants he will never be a governor again but he wants to be a power broker in oyo state, the battle is on for the next adedibu on now and the only way ladoja can keep his his turf is through pdp ,he has been lobbying to go back since and he was even touted at one time to be the next secetary of pdp until the slot was given to oyinlola
,the only way for ladoja to bounce back is through pdp and they can only do that if they can deliver oyo state .now in pdp the party is looking for a strong person like adedibu who they will hand over the state to , akala and ladoja will still fight when the time comes to share the spoils but for now their common opponent is ajimobi

funshint: Mr Grassroot you just they mis-use political terminologies "Power of Incumbency" So tell me why Akala didn't use his "power of incumbency to win the election"?? i just dey look you since they yarn rubbish!!! With all the monstrous votes being collated from Ogbomoso; Ajimobi was already leading even before Ibadan Southwest vote was declared. Please stop fabricating lies you this man; we all witnessed what happened.

i dont discuss with people that trade insults online , it is against my upbringing. i discuss with mature men with deep sense of intelligence

emiye: Ladoja was impeached in 2006, he left the PDP thereafter, i think that year,2011 elections was 5 years after.

the 3 political gladiators in 2011 oyo state election (Ajimobi[ibadan man], Ladoja[ibadan man], Akala[ogbomoso man]).

Ladoja weakened the opposition votes way much more than the PDP votes by virtue of the two opposition candidates being from Ibadan. At least roughly 1/3 of the total votes cast for Akala was from Ogbomoso.

that is wher u are wrong,before the elections akala had always said it that the only person he fears is his boss ladoja.that is what he calls ladoja .now prior to ladoja enterance into the race there had been rumours that ibadan ppl dont ao someone to rule them twice .now akala is an ogbomosho man abd after he came back from obi innarguration in anambra he said he believed that he can make it ,ladoja contested just to pay back akala in his on coins,ibadan was split but if ladoja hadnt eneterd akala would have used his incumbency power to rake in more votes.the pact that was made on the day of election was what finished akala.the ibadan south west votes wasnt counted or release at the orders of ladoja it was that local goverment that won the game for ajimobi.ladoja only came to spoil akala chances .before the elections akala went to ladoja house up to 3 times trying to reconcile ith him and begging him to support him

emiye: Those caretakers are default chairmen, make no mistake, they are also playing politics and strive to get endeared with the grassroots. There are cases in the law court stalling the LG election at the moment.

u raised te issue i didnt.and what i am saying is the only way to test a party popularity is through elections.let ajimobi try it.at least edo,ogun and lagos have done theirs.they know that they wont be able to in all.ppl are angry against this gov.NO DOUBT AJIMOBI HAS DONE WELL.but in the process of doing well he has stepped on some many toes and they are just waiting for election time to pay him back

dayokanu: Then you need to know that the man at the center this time is different from OBJ.

OBJ was a Yoruba man and he wanted to win the region for his party at all cost to prove he has a base

Jonathan wouldnt care about Oyo State or the SW, rather Jonathan would spend all his energy in the SS like OBJ did with his own region

GEJ in 2015 has more problem on his hands that worrying about SW. in 2003 OBJ was comfortable thats why he had time to play politics in the SW

we know the president and we know what he is capable of doing.HE IS MORE DANGEROUS AND RUTHLESS THAN OBJ.just wait and see.he needs al the states he can get and he will go all out for it .this time there wil be no gentleman politics you will see

funshint: You see I now understand you clearly. All this your grass root this grass root that can only be summed up to one thing=MONEY SHARING!!!That's what we call "Amala Politics. You see people like you belong to the past. People like you think that people will vote for someone just because he shares 5-5hundred naira or plastic plates. You see politics has moved beyond that one. Politics especially as far as Southwest is concerned is all about competency and what you can deliver. I remembered than during the election Akala almost spent all the state treasury because of his election. Infact there was almost nothing that Akala didn't share out. Is it blackberry, he gave us more than 12 flat screen tvs, 24 decoders and dish(Both DSTV and Hitv) with installation, more than 24 generating sets. wetin Akala no share 4 dis world?!! We still collect am vote for Ajimobi/ACN. So shebi they have a lot of money let them come and share no problem Father xmas!!! So guy if this is what you call "Grass-root politics" then you're on your own o

you got all my points wrong ,but let me simplify it for u.the first thing u have to ask urself is who are the grassroot politicians?u need to ask urself why saraki was able to control ilorin politics till the day he died?how many ppl is tinubu giving money to in lagos ?yet they stil love him?ppl like u and me constitute a very small percentage of total voters.you cant rig in a highbrow area ,rigging takes place in the slums and ghettos and it is those ppl that wil determine who wins the rigging game

akinalabi: You are wrong there.

Ladoja actually broke the PDP votes and not the oppositions votes.

Ladoja was a PDP strongman who left for Accord with his followers who were PDP members.

thank u,this is the point i have been trying to tell them,the success recorded by acn in the southwest was due to the internal friction withing the party,pdp is the only party that has the federa might but when a strong member decamps it always causes problem.fayose and amosun

emiye: You see i laugh , when i see comments from people like you.It is like a father correcting and spanking his child for doing wrong, and a stranger coming with sweets and biscuits to pet the child and telling the child,the father is bad.

The newly built neighborhood markets, will they be allocated to abia and kano indigenes ?.


Unfortunately for you noise makers, the ACN is currently controlling the 33 local government areas of the state

Nigerians are becoming more political conscious and smarter, and oyo state indigenes are not exempted

are u sure ?the last time i heard ajimobi is yet to conduct council polls ?why is he afraid to do it if they are really in control?what u have in oyo state lg councils are caretakers.acn in lagos state were sure of themselevs and they conducted theirs so also ogun,let ajimobu try it .i am sure if u tell him to conduct the polls he will look at u like an enemy of progress

emiye: I am very much not an outsider !

While 20 months in politics might be alot, all things being equal, i posit Ajimobi will win with nothing less than 60% of total votes.

I will be willing to win your car and dash it to the motherless home.

Emotions cloud reasoning, that you are a PDP member makes it understandable.

no offence taken and no hard feelings at all.just remember this dear PDP IS COMING BACK TO POWER COME 2015

dayokanu: How come with this knowledge, Adedibu was unable to win in APP until he moved to the ruling party?

Adedibus APP was not even runner up in 1999?

Who is Adedibu without the federal backing he got from Obasanjo

thank u for this observation,with ur grassroot support it is almost impossible to win against a ruling govt except u have either state or federal backing.that is why with all the support adedibu had he still needed obj to give him that support .and tell me hen he crossed oved to the ruling party did he lose an election?
rigging will always be part of our elections and u will always need someone to cover ur backs,we all saw what acn did in lagos state council polls but becos they are in power they can influence .
one of the main grouse of obj against gej is that he allowed acn to clear the whole south west by not interfering with the elections.and that was because of the pact between acn and gej then
you see there is a lot the president can do and this time around pdp are going all out ,i have always said it one or to states from the southwest will fall into pdp hands.
the problem pdp has with the opposition is that pdp members left the party and teamed up with tinubu in 2007,atiku and co and this was because of obj attitude once the recocilation moves are completed then u wil see that pdp stil control.

m.modernghana.com/mobile/222331/1/femi-otedola-releases-another-atomic-bomb-dangotes.html

deols: are the needs of the grass roots different from of other areas?
Anyways, wv gone byond avn anoda Adedibu.
Ladoja is long gone and should respect himself.

yes there needs are different and been able to recognise those needs and address them is what makes a leader powerful.eg tinubu.
some of the policies of fashola were planned during the time of tinubu but he didnt carry them out because he wanted to consolidate his hold on the state.tinubu is a grassroot man that mingles and mingled well with the grassroot.that is why he is respected so also adedibu.
these grassroot are the people that can and will be convinced to vote against any govt that moves against them.many of u analysing issues here if u see u cutlass been brandished u will run .these grassroot are the ones that can resist rigging and even lay down their lives .no govt toys with them.adedibu and tinubu knows this.these set of people are always in contant touch with their baales,mogajis,and local leaders take it or leave it WHAT EVER THEY DECIDE TO DO IS FINAL.that is where the power of ladoja lies and akala.not wwith us that use laptops,blackberries and all these IT gadgets

PEREP: One term of Six years will stop all these unneccessary tension and distraction associated with 'second term' in this country. with this alliance between Akala and Ladoja, the Oyo state Governor will have to resume all the neccessary scheming to have a second term ticket. In all of this, development and other issues will be affected which will SURELY affect the Oyo state people.

you may be right.but wil our leaders allow?

it is a family affair

wellmax: Thats PDP for you. Later one of PDP's paid charge and bail lawyer will say its family matter.

django1: Thunder fire you that statement!

gbagun

Opey4luv: Why can't PDP learn to accept defeat

because pdp wasnt created and formed to be defeated.wining at all cost is power

mtn cheats?oga i beg no make me die with laughter ooo
[quote author=jiffylibra][/quote]

emiye: So sure ! You know i am not wrong.

The next 18-19 months will shut the mouth of those lousy ones.

i will like to believe u are an outsider that has very keen interest in oyo state politics .that is ok by me i respect ur opinions and views but i disagree with them,we are all entitled to our different point of views.
as per 2015 oyo guber elections will u like to bet on it?i can put my car down.pdp is wwining NO CONTROVERSY

are u sure ?ok we shall see

emiye: Things are not the same.

PDP of 2011 as the incumbent party rigged that election to get that much number of votes, but the rigging numbers were not enough to save them.... FaCT.

PDP no longer controls the state machinery, Voters turn out was relatively low also in 2011 due to the fear of violence as common with PDP. In 2015, all things being equal, more people will come out to vote.

Ladoja candidacy in 2011 succeeded in spilting Ibadan votes, as ajimobi and Ladoja were both from Ibadan.

In 2015, ajimobi will garner nothing less than 60% of total votes cast, irrespective of the state opposition merger or acquisition. BOOKMARKED.

plainmirror: Pls who is biaca ojukwu?
And what is spain?

bianca ojukwu is the new goalkeeper for chelsea that mourihno just signed
and spain is a new beer in nigeria,it cost 200naira per bottle

funshint: Hey Mr man stop saying trash; when you don't know something you keep quiet! Let me give you the real facts before people like you start distorting history. Before the election in 2011; Ajimobi/ACN clearly had the highest chance of winning because people were already tired of the setback brought upon them by the Akala/PDP administration in Oyo state. Remember that prior to the election Ladoja never intended running for the governorship because of the tense political climate of Oyo state at that time. Now the election was clearly between Ajimobi and Akala with Ajimobi having the higher chance between the duo; Ladoja was not even in the equation. Now let me list out the things that gave Ajimobi/ACN advantage over Akala:
1. Mal-administration by Akala/PDP government in Oyo state in terms of unprecedented level of violence in the state, decay of infrastructures and the general high level of ineptitude/incompetence exhibited by the Akala/PDP government in the state.
2. The rising profile of ACN in south-west as a development oriented party
3. Governor Babatunde Fashola's ACN led administration in Lagos state which people saw as a model type of government worthy of emulation
4. Ajimobi's antecedent in politics of Oyo state being a former senator in the state from 1999-2003 and having clearly won the gubernatorial election under ANPP in 2007 but denied his victory by Obasanjo/PDP's style of election rigging/manipultion
5. PDP's falling profile in Southwest having lost Osun, Ekiti, Ondo and a perpectual loser in Lagos state.
6. The electoral reform with the new system of voting introduced by INEC/Jega through declaration of votes at each polling centres before collation thus making rigging and manipulation of election result/figures very difficult.
7. The conflict between Akala and Alaafin of Oyo which the later sworn never to support Akala thus aligning his support with Ajimobi/ACN
It is so irritating whenever people say Ladoja helped Ajimobi to win in 2011; as we all know that Ladoja did not come out until very few months to the election when he realised that the opposition had gained a solid support in the state. Look, majority of people that voted for Ladoja were erstwhile in support of the oppostion led by Ajimobi/ACN. Ladoja was only able to gain their support because of the sympathy most people felt for him having been betrayed by Akala when he was the governor. He(Ladoja) started running a campaign of sympathy through the video he was distributing showing the political crises, betrayal and his eventual impeachment when he was governor in Oyo state; check
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h0Tt4f9c974. Also he succeeded in brainwashing many people by running campaign of blackmail/falsehood against ACN especially against Bola Tinubu; alleging them of coming to Oyo state with the intention to loot and share the state treasury. But because people wanted a change and still considered Ladoja as birds of thesame feathers with PDP; majority still gave their unalloyed support to Ajimobi/ACN. Infact with Ladoja coming into the race he was considered as a "spoiler" because he almost divided the vote of the opposition which would have giving Akala/PDP undue advantage if not for God. Also don't forget that Ladoja many times vehemently opposed stepping down for Ajimobi because of his own selfish ambition to return to the government house. And also most people that voted for Ladoja only voted for him out of sympathy; not based on performance because he was also as useless as Akala when he was the governor.
Now with Ladoja aligning his support with that beast called "Akala" he's going to lose a lot of admirers and supporters, infact he just dug his grave politically. And also not forgetting that Ladoja is a coward as regards honouring agreements and Akala is known for being a serial betrayal; this is a union between two crocodiles because none of the two will step down for eachother when the time comes thus the union is bound to fail and Oyo state people are not ready for the repeat of violence/turmoil brought upon them by these two dogs(Akala and Ladoja). This union is nothing but a farce; it is bound to FAIL!!!
Let me state it LOUD and CLEAR now with the unprecedented high level of performance and governance by the ACN/Ajimobi led administration in Oyo state, let 1000 Ladoja/Akala come together to fight Ajimobi they will be squarely be defeated and disgraced by God's grace!!!

i dont trade words or insults online ,it is against my upbringing.but just wait and see.

Madawaki01: but they shud use anoda party apart frm pdp..
Pple ar more concerned about their welfare nt about how roads ar neat,this is one area akala xcelled...let's just wait nd see

thank u.that is the area ajimobi got it all wrong,majority of oyo state indigenes are concerned about what enters their stomach than what their enviroment looks like.
on the issue of party,there is no other political party in oyo state that has the political machinery to win the gov election against acn other than pdp.they wil have the federal backing too,and remember this time around gej is not going to make any deal with tinubu unlike the 2011 when he needed to win the south west

deols: Read the topic only

and all I can say is,
Mr. Ladoja may be digging his own political grave.

How do you hope to beat a PERFORMING governor by teaming with someone like Akala

Ladoja appears ungrateful to the good people of Oyo state who stood by him during his trying period.

We reject another Akala or Ladoja in Oyo state.

ho told u ladoja will contest?they are already looking for a candidate that will appeal to the grassroot.just relax and watch .

tomakint: I like that, too many babies in the house! We are discussing politics, these young minds are discussing emotions

ok,it is up to them to adjust.they should just kno this PDP REMAINS THE PARTY TO BEAT AND THE PARTY TO BE IN.the ibadan south west votes was what changed everything ,right now with pdp fully united ,with ladoja back no party can defeat pdp in oyo state

jibsai: Just shut d Fvck up...nonsense shytt ur talkin about akala was leadin ow?? He freaking trailed till d end evn after tactically delayin ogbomosho nlg result! Ibsw was last result nd there was ow it was official can won...who give a damn about ur BS here! All I kno his we now think of what's best 4 our state nd dzz 2 deadly tugs is not needed

nairaland.com/655358/latest-election-result-oyo-state

TriPorth: Your claim is unfounded. Who among Ibadan elders pleaded with Ladoja? Why all these concocted lies in order to give face to those already spent politically? To set the record straight for you, Ajimobe from the start of the race knew he would never win in Ibadan, owing to his popularity and the brigandage that rented the moment. Contrary to your claim, Ladoja "fight tooth and nail" but eventually lost to Akala in Ibadan. Ajimobi beats the duo miraculously in Ibadan and consolidate record with his triumph in Oke-Ogun with the aid of Ikubabayeye-Alaafin Oyo. Despite the money rain, bloodletting and intimidation they lost to Ajimobi. This is the rundown, the lesson here is that the votes in Ibadan didi not seal the Ajimobi victory but that from Oke-Ogu. Does the Oke-Ogun belong to Alao-Adewolu? I believe it's in the confide of Ikubabayeye. This should summarize the 2015.

i wont trade words with u .

Ola one: You're overrating Alaafin.

thank u,pls kindly help me explain to him.they all feel that it was alafin that won the election for ajimobi.pls help me enlighten them more
