TINUBU’S HIDDEN AGENDA; SAMUEL AJAYI

[size=5pt]WHERE ARE NORTHERN VOICES? As media practitioners and consultants, we used to do one thing while analysing national issues: who is commenting and who is not. What are they saying, what are they not The aim is to see if an issue initially presented as a national one is actually an ethnic agenda. It is in this context that I have been doing an analysis of the Buhari presidential challenge and I asked: WHERE ARE NORTHERN VOICES? It has been a 'research' I have been doing since January till this year. Granted that Buhari campaigned in the North and pulled massive crowds but where are Northern opinion leaders?

On mainstream and social media, the vehemence of the Buhari push is being spear- headed by Yorubas! In all his official engagements, within and outside the country, check the pictures: you wont find a Northerner behind him.The odd men out apart from South- westerners are John Oyegun and Rotimi Amaechi. Yet you see Tinubu, Fashola, Fayemi, Amosun, Lai Mohammed, Mamora and co. I may be proved wrong, but only once have I seen Tambuwal in photo with Buhari! Kwankwaso has quietly withdrawn himself! Atiku hardly talks even when his boy runs Buhari's media organ of the campaign. Wammako, Shettima, el-Rufai don't talk. While Obasanjo is talking every day, Babangida, Abdusalami, Ciroma, Coomasie, Lawal Kaita hardly say anything. Is there something going on?

I spoke with a Northern senior friend of mine from Sokoto State who used to head a federal government electronic media arm on why the North is not giving the general the media and moral support required, here are his words: "We want power to return to the North but it seems you Yorubas have a hidden agenda with the way your people are pushing Buhari and turning it into a Yoruba crusade." I prodded him further but he politely declined to say more. I continued this 'research' on Facebook. Whenever someone posts a pro- Buhari or anti-GEJ material, I also usually do a demographic analysis of 'likes' and comments and again, I discovered that it is mostly 75-80% Yoruba thing.

Even the Remove-Jega- don't-remove-Jega campaign is PURELY a South-west 'headache'. If you doubt, do your own media survey. Does it mean the feelers are true that most Northern leaders are uncomfortable with the way Tinubu has 'approximated' the change 'struggle'? Are they aware of any agenda some of us are not? I asked these questions because no matter the noise we are making here, high-wire, high stake politicking is going on at the highest level[/size].

If you're so sure the north isn't with GMB and the hausa/fulani who were recently insulted as born-throway by PEJ will vote GEJ, why then are you bothering with this long epistle? Why not just give this assurance to GEJ so he can go back to his abandoned presidential duties in abuja and stop his daily pilgrimage to Yorubaland for prayers, initiations, rituals and what-have-you? i mean there should be no need for all this his sweating in some covens in the SW

Of course you can't because you sure don't believe the tales by moonlight you just posted

If the man who wrote that is truly a yoruba, he would remember that the SW is always in the forefront of every struggle against injustice in this country. Every popular movement in this country has been spearheaded by the SW so it shouldn't be surprising that the GMB charge too is being pushed mainly by the SW but remember.....an hausa/fulani cattle rearer won't be found on facebook. You'll see him in the savannah with his transistor radio in his left hand, sanda in his right and his PVC in his pocket. he has no use for twitter or clicking likes on NL .

He'll meet you on March 28th and then you'll know exactly how he feels about GMB and GEJ+PEJ

If GMB loses fairly, no problem. That would be democracy in action

[color=#1980BC] doesn't count because none is seeking the sh**t-drippin- from- an- old ass- job of presiding over 170 million Nigerians. [/color]

doesn't need to count man. Just so you know....PDP has plenty 'youngmen' on the diaper roll call.....not only buhari or fayose's mother (fayose's own words you know)

Tony Anenih (82), PDP BOT Chair

Jonah Jang (72), Plateau gov

Ahmadu Alli(78), Director of gej campaign

Martin Elechi (74), Ebonyi Gov

Bamanga Tukur (76), former PDP chairman

Aliyu Gusau (76), Minister of Defence


Just so you know man........just so you know

Of course they're marketing him very well. e.g, now we know the following

1.Jonathan can replace Okagbare at the next Olympics

2.Jonathan will help Naija conserve FX as he doesn't need diapers like the following PDP 'youngmen'

Tony Anenih (82), PDP BOT Chair

Jonah Jang (72), Plateau gov

Ahmadu Alli(78), Director of gej campaign

Martin Elechi (74), Ebonyi Gov

Bamanga Tukur (76), former PDP chairman

Aliyu Gusau (76), Minister of Defence

3.Jonathan is a phone buddy of the moroccan king

These are his strong points and they're marketing them very far and wide

The problem is why did the PDP led govt which has Sambo as VP expend so much billions for a project he believes was not workable?

How much more of our lean resources have been expended on such?

ichidodo:
[color=#1980BC] Hope the old illiterate came with his pampers? Else yo sycophants should fetch him one. [/color]

i'm sure he carries them about the same way the following PDP 'youngmen' carry theirs

Tony Anenih (82), PDP BOT Chair

Jonah Jang (72), Plateau gov

Ahmadu Alli(78), Director of gej campaign

Martin Elechi (74), Ebonyi Gov

Bamanga Tukur (76), former PDP chairman

Aliyu Gusau (76), Minister of Defence

examples of diaper wearing leaders according to fayose's theory

Tony Anenih (82), PDP BOT Chair

Jonah Jang (72), Plateau gov

Ahmadu Alli(78), Director of gej campaign

Martin Elechi (74), Ebonyi Gov

Bamanga Tukur (76), former PDP chairman

Aliyu Gusau (76), Minister of Defence

hope he'll ensure these ones are chased away so they don't keep messing up govt houses?

Is this for real

To think that i actually believed the court did give them that order

I really underestimated the capacity of my fellow Nigerians for high mischief

Mehn.....how did they get so bold to attempt to pull this stunt off

Thank God for the judge o.

Nice on bro, I love your signature!

Thanks comrade

YOU CALL SATAN GREAT/ YOU MUST BE HIGH ON CHEAP DRUGS BRO.

The bible advises us to be quick hearers but slow talkers (or typists). This is to prevent us from displaying gross ignorance in public. I'll pardon you today but think or understand first, nextime before you rush to type insults.

If only you have access to international news, you'd have known that Muslim fundamentalists refer to USA as "the great Satan" and I was merely quoting them.

Trust you understand now??

tatosh:
LOL. I thought they said Buhari is a religious bigot and an Islamist? Does this mean he's no more any of these and now a supporter of gayism and westernization?
Can PDP please stop this joke already. Anybody with a sound mind can read through the lines and see that they are just cooking up baseless stories against the General, on the contrary it seems they almost admire the man.
Fellow Nigerians, Good governance is not rocket science like GEJ & PDP make it look. It only takes someone who has a social conscience to be the leader and we will see CHANGES.
Vote right
Vote APC

Oklander:
A man you accused of Fundamentalism, a man you claimed would Islamize Nigeria by implementing sharia if elected, you now accused has agreed to sign a gay law, talk of contradictory accusations, Smh…

The Pdp is desperate and very confused, thus vomiting senselessly any time they make a public talk. The head is clueless after all.

Infact you have to wonder.....the somersaults of the PDP over this Buhari matter calls for serious concern.

How low can they go?

You accuse someone of being BH and ISIL, Then you accuse him again of planning with the great Satan (USA) to promote homosexuality?? Talk of confusion from desperation.

If this is true, i too will boycott their services.

which kind exploitation be this?

That was one film.

indeed it was

Mologi:
sound of mocus......

maria don hold no

yeah she's old now but still very active in Hollywood.

she's been in some nice fairly recent flicks like the 'shrek' series, Princess Diaries, The tooth fairy etc

very fine actress

[size=19pt]MARIA!!!![/size]

The film is still in my collection

I can't get tired of it.

By the time i buy the CD on saturday, it will be at least the 3rd time i'll be buying it after losing previous ones.

I can't get tired of seeing it tell ya

A friend sent this to me now and I just had feelings of nostalgia. How many folks like me were obsessed with this film when we were younger?

Even my wife doesn't understand my affinity for this film

See their picture then and now. Its so nice to see them all still basking in good health

How time flies

Billyonaire:
Fayose only amplified facts known to be true. He needs no reprimand.

facts like his mum being an invalid who wears pampers right?

Does Tony Anenih (82), PDP BOT Chair also wear pampers?

Does Jonah Jang (72), Plateau gov also wear pampers?

Does Ahmadu Alli(78), Director of gej campaign also wear pampers?

Does Martin Elechi (74), Ebonyi Gov also wear pampers?

I thought Mr Suleiman decided to act 'the interpreter of the constitution' and impeach Tambuwal by himself? what convinced him to retrace his steps?

Did he suddenly have an epiphany that revealed to him that Tambuwal remains speaker?

But this shouldn't bother anyone methinks....

The guy simply showed how much he adores the woman who gave birth to him by gleefully telling the world an intimate secret that should remain a secret.

I hope he'll let us know some things his father also suffered from that define 70+ humans.

All hail fayose the 'wise'

Truly there's serious fire on the mountain.......

ddeston:
Its always very easy to blame this people snapping pictures until you are jailed by Hungry policemen
who doesn't know their left from right.
Honestly am a good Nigerian Citizen but in my short 20 years on earth as a Nigerian i have learnt
to be wary of how i help people to the hospital.
First time i ever had a problem with giving help was 5 years ago when i was 15, i was on my way from school,
An accident occured in front of me and me and some of my friends went there to rescue the victims.
Being the only rich Kid among the others, I deposited my money to commence treatment on the two
people.
Only for me and my best friend Emmanuel to come the following morning to see how they are doing
and we where arrested for murder.
I was like WTF, One of them passed out, the other remained but he was unconscious,
Mumc did everything to set me and my friend free, but it was obvious the parents of the dead guy
where highly connected and wanted somebody to suffer for the death of their child.
Mum did all but nothing seemed to have worked. then the unconscious guy came back to life
and confessed we where only rescuers.
Well the family let the case die but policemen bailed me and my best friend at 30k each and mind you
we where still very much under aged.
second happened, last year we where rushing somebody that a hit and run driver knocked off and the
person died inside the car.
It was only my lawyer who had a senior advocate Of Nigeria friend that managed to set me free after
money don pass am plenty.
so my people can you guys now tell me why i shouldn't be snapping pics of an accident instead of helping
when its obvious if i help and anything happens, i stand to be charged a murderer.
Well truth is i aint that wicked though

these experiences of yours made me hate the NPF. Your case isn't isolated at all......

but pls don't let it poison you too much from helping people in any little way you can.

cheers good samaritan

1000 friends on facebook, 2000 followers on twitter but not one shoulder to lean on in times of need



the story of the 21st century homo sapien

BeeBeeOoh:
Lie-ability..

but will vanguard project a damaging false news against the PDP?

That was a risky venture those guys embarked on

Hi comrade, your thread looks promising and i hope intelligent discussion will be allowed to thrive on it but pls remove that extremely revolting and gory pix. It offends sensibilities pls and might take away attention from the matter.

cheers


Edited:Thanks for removing the pictures

1. Bokoharam and 18 other terror groups pledging allegiance to Isis

They are propelled by the same ideology and wish to get identified with the group that is making the fastest and most strategic strides in their march towards their imagined 'utopia'. however, it's actually a power play with religion as a propelling force and disguise for their main intention which is world domination by Arabs of Sunni persuasion.

But then, it might just be a cry for help by Boko Haram especially, considering the losses they've been subjected to recently.


2. Netanyahu's speech to the congress and American people (Obama feels its a spite on him)

Netanyahu's appearance in the US congress and his speech which followed were meant to make life difficult for Obama in his push towards normalizing relations with Iran and i believe he achieved his aim with you affirming the republicans writing on the matter to the Iranians. the US-Israeli relationship has deteriorated in recent years since Obama came into the saddle and it will only become worse with that rousing speech by Netanyahu. for the records, I don't entirely agree with the speech


3. The near deadlock of Iran and the west negotiations on nuclear proliferations

I believe they'll arrive at a compromise no matter how unhelpful it will be to the US. This is because the US has gone too far now to draw back. Iran knows the US needs it now because of ISIS so they can afford to play the hard-to-get-bride. However, it'll be an agreement destined to be broken not too long hence either by the Americans or the Iranians


4. What is your take on changing tunes of global terrorism, extremism and fundamentalism

Is current military actions accross the globe, the way to go.

The world leaders should pay more attention to growing inequalities in the world. Poverty, Inequality and lack of fairness is playing into the hands of terrorists. even the rich kids who join these devils will readily cite the cases of discrimination and injustice against poor people(majorly Muslims) around the world as justification for fighting against the great satan and its allies.

The military actions must go on and as the world sincerely tackles the problems that feed this menace, we'll have less need to engage in warfare.


5. What is the consequence of nuclear war heads getting to the hand of Isis

END OF HUMANITY. There'll be no stopping the wheel when it starts.


6. what is your take on Obama's foreign policy. (The republicans have written an open letter to Iran stating that the agreement they are about to strike with Obama will not last

Unsure steps e.g Syria and the imaginary red line.

Also i don't know if he can unilaterally make a deal with the Iranians but if he has to be on the same page with congress, then it might just be DOA.


These are my own layman's views. i'll appreciate if the professors around can help with some more illumination

enjoy

Mods, pls this thread is deserving of FP

ATTN: seun, mclatunji, oam4j, ishilove, lalasticlala

Una weldone

Actually the Yoruba are the new bride he's trying to woo

Almost relocating the seat of governance to SW in the past few weeks, spending dollars everywhere he goes, promising heaven and earth etc.

He's done with the Igbo so he no longer gives a damn.

GEJ the player

Orunto:
Only a bastard son of a beast in Yoruba will vote for Buhari.

Is this one of the campaign issues PDP promised?

What will you call an Hausa man that votes gej?

Volksfuhrer:
Poverty mentality and low self-esteem are behind every form of embezzlement. Treasury looters are generally low-lifers who believe ill-gotten wealth can readily substitute for personal development.

Buhari now comes to mind. Despite having opportunity to acquire oil-blocks for himself through proxies, he passed it over.

Such a man has no fear of poverty. He has transcended the need to accumulate wealth. The question then is why would I not trust this man to lead this great country in her hour of need?

Ladies and Gentlemen, my mind is fully made up! Buhari is all I need now to return this country back to the path of honour and glory!

So help me God!

worthytalk:
Opposition against Jonathan is not about principle but pure hatred. The opposition sees nothing good in Jonathan now they have transferred this blind hatred to Nigeria and Nigerians. My only worry is that this hatred is as strong as death. Only God can deliver APC from itself.

really?? What do you want the opposition to do when even Jonathan and His henchmen have refused to tell Nigerians what they intend doing but are all over the place falling over themselves in their bid to mention buhari's name?

Nigerians: What will you do about corruption?

Gej&PDP: buhari will islamise Nigeria and force you to read the Quran

Nigerians: what will you do about security?

Gej&PDP: buhari went to London to discuss with the Arab leaders

Nigerians: what will you do about petrol?

Gej&PDP: buhari is hoarding petrol

Nigerians: what will you do about electricity?

Gej&PDP: buhari cannot run as fast as gej

Tell your principal campaigners to publicise his 'good works' and stop obsessing over gmb

Hear chief Olorunfemi

If you look at the period, 1976-1979, when he was Petroleum Commissioner; that was the period people started to acquire blocks. He must have looked at such things with disdain. He was the one to process it for them, yet he never got one for himself. He did not get a block or a petrol station, he was just a man that we could see, and I just could not understand him. He is a good manager.

We know about IBB, Danjuma etc oil blocks, yet none has been traced to GMB.

Too little, too irrelevant, too childish, too too late.

How does spending the past weeks in yorubaland translate to good governance for Nigerians? Are the Yoruba the only people in Nigeria? Ibadan people are being promised Ibadan state, ijebus are being enticed with ijebu state and even rumours of oduduwa state are surfacing. What about orashi state in rivers? And anioma state in delta? When the states we have now are even struggling to pay salaries? Like my neighbour said today "even a 2 year old knows all these promises are impossible to keep".

He's promising more juicy appointments to Yoruba and I'm forced to ask how Diezani's appointment has positively impacted her village when even otueke people have little to show for gej's accidental appearance in aso rock? How does a PHD think this way?

GEJ simply doesn't get it. No Yoruba oba can stop those who marched in lagos yesterday from voting their choice.

Tribal considerations in appointments won't stop the mass sack going on in banks. A revitalisation of the economy will. Someone should do us a favour by telling Mr i-will-do president this basic truth.

You can have this writer write anything for you just by paying his standard fee . $2000 - $4000

Very interesting!

It was a very pedestrian comment devoid of any intelligence.

Does it mean he believes the only people shekau has killed are the ones he features in his videos? What sort of intelligence is that?

That description should come from an uninformed market woman, not the president controlling all the intelligence agencies and armed forces in the land
