Politics / Re: Don't Blackmail The Judges, Losers Should Accept Defeat - Mary Odili by WELEBOO(m): 11:39pm On Sep 03, 2023
All the years you spent as a judge is just a waste, since you have now decided to support the devil.
fergie001:
The Colloquium was held in Abuja to mark the 25th anniversary of Chief Joe-Kyari Gadzama as a SAN

Mary Odili is a retired Justice of the Supreme Court

Olanipekun SAN and Fagbemi SAN (AGF) are Senior lawyers representing Bola Tinubu and APC respectively, at the PEPT

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pv3aYzIgtu0
EXCERPTS OF THE SPEECH BY RETIRED JUSTICE MARY ODILI
This Colloquium and book launch in honour of Chief Joe-Kyari Gadzama SAN upon the attainment of 25 years as a Senior Advocate of Nigeria is an epochal achievement.

It is no doubt appropriate that the theme is: "The Nigeria of our dreams, a call to the Patriots". I say so in the light of the prevailing situation in Nigeria as a result of the 2023 General Elections which has generated a lot of storm necessitating the kind of conversation which we are about to indulge in as there seems to be moved to throw the nation into chaos or conflagration.

This may be brought about by some individuals and groups who fanning the ambers of hatred, bigotry and tribalism fails to see the possible outcomes of the utterances without caution that are been thrown around.

It is human to feel cheated or having the short end of the stick but one who is not declared the winner at any electoral contests, such emotions however grieved does not justify bringing the roof down, the roof of our nation.

The reason is simple, that in such an eventuality, that aggrieved person may not be spared as the commotion that could ensue will be like an unguided missile which could land anywhere and upon anyone.

Therefore, in ventilating our point of view and facts at the electoral tribunals or other courts, a sense of responsibility from all parties is demanded. The situation does not call for the blackmail of the judges or the posting of speculatory hypothesis giving them such a life of their own which run riot and accepted by the hapless and innocent in the society as the truth.

Knowing the quality of the participants at this Colloquium and I am happy that professional and those who are well-equipped in litigation matters or electoral disputes, Chief Olanipekun is a master and our Attorney-General recently sworn-in, these are experts.

I am confident that having such persons here including our chief host Chief J K Gadzama there is confidence that at the end of the day, a resetting of the mind will be taking place and we will keep things in perspective in the full Knowledge that elections are seasonal and litigations relating thereto.....

Politics / Re: Buhari’s Heart Is Not With Tinubu By Casmir Igbokwe by WELEBOO(m): 2:04pm On Feb 01, 2023
Very myopic and kindergarten post. Nigerians are wiser now. You and your cohorts, should be more concerned about the mental health and very old, frigile Tinubu now.
Tribal:
Yes, but Buhari's Betrayal of him has helped we Christians and all indigenous Nigerians to know that their Satanic Plan is that RUGA-Enforcement and large Scale Owo incident would soon be Resumed and activated back after February 25th if we are foolish enough to Suicidally vote in their Candidate. God can choose to use anybody for us! Self-destructive myopic Hate for Tinubu may still make some not to Thank God for Positioning him as the realistic Escape Route for that brutal Satanic Plan of our common Enemy.

Only self-deceiving ones still Pretend like they don't know that Fulanis are not Yorubas that Forgive easily. All intelligent Igbos knows that they can Never handover Power to Obi(January 15TH, 1966 is ever Fresh in memory). Only Yoruba President can do such just as the great Olusegun Obasanjo stylishly did by bringing Goodluck Azikwe Jonathan to Power. The TRUTH is that 80% of Real Southern Voters (Igbos, Yorubas, etc.) and most indigenous wise Northern Nigerians are all in full Support of Tinubu.

Good. But the 20% remaining should be helped to understand why Tinubu (not perfect at all, as "Nobody is Perfect!" Even you reading this now) is ALMIGHTY's Gift to save Original Indigenous Nigerians. If you know Tinubu very well, you will know that he is not a religious bigot and both Christians and Muslims shall be very free under him as President. He has chosen more Christians as Lagos Governors than Muslims, it is based on who can Perform and Develop Lagos more and not about Religion. That is a true Leader. Did you know that TINUBU PLAYED THE MUSLIM-MUSLIM TICKET TO SAVE ORIGINAL NIGERIANS? Diffusing and Dismantling the Wickedness planned to be unleashed by those that wanted to Enslave us on our FatherLand is Tinubu's number 1 Priority, and the Way he chose is the Only realistic Way to do it. Before you ague this, please read below first:

Let me unveil this: after long Political Brainstorming of the Great Political Genius and Miracle called Tinubu, he chose Shetima because he is a BokoHaram insider that knows how the Fulanis have moved Weapons into States and all the Forests of the Home Towns of Ancestral Owners of Nigerians.
Even though Shetima was initially a myopic Jihadist just like Afonja that Fulanis deceived, manipulated, and used to further their Satanic Aim of hijacking Nigeria Lands and Enslaving Original Nigerians, he later became Wise and realized that Fulanis Enslavement of even his very own Kanuri People(also Original Nigerians like Igbos and Yorubas) is the Primary aim of their establishing BokoHaram and ISWAP.

That they only disguised their Satanic Mission to use him and other Native Nigerians to slaughter their very own Brothers and Sisters till the whole land has been taken over. After which he Shetima and other original Nigerians used shall be brutally eliminated just as they did to Afonja and all his contemporary Hausa Traditional Leaders those days who helped them to Subdue their own Ancient Lands and People under the Fulanis.

Now as it stands after Tinubu (the Grand Commander of African Politics) has Wisely chose Shetima as VP, Shetima who has many loyal Original Ancestral Hausas in ISWAP and BokoHaram which Fulanis massively deployed in Nigerian Forests (without knowing that the Game would turn out against them as the Great Tinubu played it), has woken up his Mammoth Army to the Fulani Satanic Deception and Evil Agenda against Original Nigerians including his Kanuri People.

So, instead of them being used as puns to Suddenly pour out from Forests and massively kill Fellow Orginal Nigerians during this coming Election, he now as a Stakeholder in the Presidency has given Order to his fellow Massive Hausas in ISWAP and BokoHaram never to follow the Satanic Plan designed against his Fellow Orginal Nigerian Brothers and Sisters (Kanuris, Hausas, Yorubas, Igbos, Ijaws, Benin's, etc.)

With the above, we can all See the Unprecedented Wisdom which the GREAT CREATOR of Humanity gave to Ashiwaju Bola Tinubu to use to save all Original Nigerians and for Preservation of our Ancestral Home Lands. May HE give Tinubu Long Life as Nigerian President, more Wisdom and deeper Heart of Genuine Love for all Nigerians and to ensure Nigeria unitedly Fulfill her Glorious Destiny as the Pride of all Black People in the World!

Very myopic and kindergarten post. Nigerians are wiser now, you should be more concerned about the health of Agbado Man, rather than wanting to fruitlessly try to correct his mental imbalance.
lhordspy:
Gazettengr.com was where the news of supposedly Tinubu's gaffee emanatted from before been spread like wildfire by people who only takes pleasure in making mockery of the APC presidential candidate, Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

According to their report, it reads "Yahoo boys’ in local parlance means internet fraudsters but The Gazette could not immediately find the meaning of the terminology gazelle gagaraga, despite searches in major dictionaries and thesaurus."

The news here: https://www.nairaland.com/7511552/gazelle-gagaraga-tinubu-suffers-gaffe

But what Gazettengr failed to understand is that there is no stated rules or law that you must communicate with words from 'major dictionaries or thesaurus' in political rallies.

The meaning of gazelle gagaraga
There is what we call gara gara in yoruba. It means unstable or unsettled. Same as the pidgin slang 'gragra' .

We also have the word gagara (ga-ga-ra) or gagaraga (gaga-raga) used by Tinubu which means boastful, pompous, inflated, proud, made, self-important, domineering, pendantic, or magniloquence.

The south-westerners can relate; the yorubas to be specific. There is a street word: Igara (I-gara) which is derive from or shortform of gagara or gagaraga it also means boastful, inflated, proud etc. (as aforementioned)

We normally use it like 'Igara chicken': Which translate to boastful empty chicken which is only covered by plenty feathers.

Or 'Igara iceblock' which means boastful or proud iceblock which will only end up as water.
These words are local street words or slangs.

Gazelle
A gazelle is one of many antelope species in the genus Gazella. With a horn, Gazelles are known as swift animals.

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"


So Tinubu saying he is going to “turn so called yahoo yahoo boys into in manufacturing and creation of than being gazelle gagaraga.”

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

Living and learning, dont be always quick to criticise or make fun of what you dont know.

Politics / Re: I Will Clear ASUU Salary Backlog - Atiku Declares by WELEBOO(m): 2:43pm On Dec 12, 2022
STORY STORY STORY. NIGERIANS ARE A LOT WISER NOW. NO MORE LIES
ochejoseph:
The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, has promised to meet the demand of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) to pay their backlog of salaries if he is elected president.

Though the union embarked on an eight-month strike which ended in October, it has since been at loggerheads with the Federal Government over unpaid salaries, arguing that its members will make up for the lost time in the classroom.

However, Atiku gave the academics an assurance of clearing the backlog during his appearance at The People’s Townhall organised by Channels Television in Abuja on Saturday.

“I’m going to increase the funding level (of education) as against what is currently obtained, no doubt about that because I am a firm and committed believer in education.

“I have undertaken to say, ‘Whatever backlog – we are going to clear all the backlogs and make sure that you go back to classes and students go back to school,” he said.

The former vice president acknowledged the “sometimes invisible roadblocks,” explaining that when the Federal Government releases money for the universities, it does not go straight to the universities.

According to him, the funds are channelled through “another federal bureaucracy” that “might decide to do whatever they want” before the monies are sent to the individual universities.

“Why not remove the bottleneck?” he asked. “Whatever is due to university A, B, C, D, send it directly!”

The PDP candidate recalled an experience during his tenure as vice president between 1999 and 2007, where according to him, a visit to several embassies revealed that “all the staff” were not owed for “several months.”

“I even visited Togo which is the headquarters of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS). Every West African country has a building and staff quarters as poor as they may be, and Nigeria didn’t have, a founding member of ECOWAS,” he said.

“I came back and called the minister of finance and said, ‘What is happening? Let’s do something different.’ She said, ‘What?’ ‘Let’s ask every embassy to give us their budget.

“And when they give us their budget, we don’t send the money through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA), we send the money straight to the embassies.’ That immediately eliminated the backlog of all the salaries that they were owing to our staff abroad.”

But, according to Atiku, the ministry was not pleased.

“They (MFA) kept on fighting. So, sometimes you have to really be bold enough to change some of the processes or procedures that are currently obtained in the public service to get service delivered to where they should be delivered,” he said.

“I was told of a story where, of course, some funding for universities was stalled at the Nigerian Universities Commission (NUC): ‘NUC, what do you want to operate?’ (This) much. ‘Universities, where do you want to operate?’ (This) much.’ You give them directly. Why do you have to go through NUC?

“As I’ve said, I’ve pledged to increase the funding of education as far as our budget is concerned. Sadly, we are not even meeting our counterparts in West Africa. They may be poorer than we are, but we are not spending as much, as far as the educational sector is concerned.”

You can watch the full video of the interaction via channels link source below

H.E Atiku and Dr. Okowa is the combination Nigeria needs.

As One We can Get It Done!!!!!
