July 31st 2001, around 7am at PWD bus stop, Ikeja. I was about to cross the rail track, I got absent minded and forgot myself right there on the rail track. A train was coming from Ikeja along inward Oshodi and was seriously hooting it's horns. I could only hear the horn faintly from background because I was far gone in my absent mindedness and of course wasn't even aware of the fact I was about to be crushed by the fast approaching train.

All of a sudden, a very tall and dark complexioned elderly man clad in white native attire with pure white grey hair both on his head and face came from only God knows where, took me by my hand and gently lifted me out of the track and just then the train zoomed past. Then I regained my consciousness. Onlookers gathered around me, some of them were abusing me and one of them asked "why you come jump commot for the railway?" I replied that an elderly man lifted me out and they asked "which elderly man?. I was about to point to him and realised he wasn't anymore. Some of them actually thought I had mental issues.

Since then July 31st became my second birthday.

Lifting other peoples posts off the internet and passing them off as yours just to appear cool.

You really need to get a life

The Igbos are well known bigots and very immature when it comes to politics compared to Yorubas and the North.

Igbos voted for Obasanjo to spite the Yorubas. The Yorubas supported Falae enmass and the Igbos being the Igbos would do anything just to spite the Yorubas choice of candidate. They went ahead and voted OBJ.

Of course, they were left with no choice than to vote one of the two Yoruba candidates.

This is the stark difference btw Civilization and Savagery. This is where Yoruba rules every other tribe in Africa. We're very progressive!

Common Sense rules!

I can bet my life our fellow Igbo brothers can NEVER, NEVER do this. I'm afraid their backwardness and Savagery would end up costing Obi a victory.

Nevertheless, Obi 4 President!

I don't understand the angle you're coming from.
But remember that the same Igbos voted for Obasanjo and Goodluck Johnathan.
But we rejected Buhari because we knew he had nothing to offer.
Reason am.

Nevertheless, Obi 4 President!

I also received same message. Just that my venue is in Kano and I stay in Sokoto.

I'm wondering how I will travel via the bandit routes for a CBT I'm not sure of passing.

And the cost of travelling by air from Sokoto to Kano is a big deal. A one-way ticket is about 140k.

They should have considered all these.

Romanoff:
What is the proof you have that he owns it?

Who else would you advocate we vote for, two entitled old men whose life long ambition is just to become president that they don't care how they get there as long as they do?

The one who masterminded the killing of innocent protesters, the same one who is so corrupt, evidence of his blatant corruption is littered every where?

Please, tell us the "saint" you'd rather we vote for.

Romanoff:
Yes I am.

This doesn't change that fact that a lot of Yorubas are Obidient.

My entire family is Obidient, from husband's side to my side.

We are all Obidient.

The weird temperament combination of South-South confidence and aggression with the Igbo brashness, and loquaciousness is what is affecting Wike.

He is both Niger-Delta and Igbo.

That combination is best suited to uncouth professions or spheres like Armed robbery, Unionism, etc.

Not as a leader of a multi-cultural, multi-ethnic, and multi-religious country like Nigeria.

I may not like Atiku but I support his decision to not pick Wike as his deputy.

He, like Atiku, is too ambitious and would probably wake up one day in Aso Rock and declare himself president.

Which would be poetic justice though, considering what Atiku did to his principal (Obasanjo) circa 1999 - 2003 .

This is pure rubbish, the youths should have been corrected not to act that kind of drama on church platform. Only God knows good candidate. How can one be sure Obi will perform magic when he becomes president? He might even be worse. I liked how pastor Adeboye used wisdom in handling this delicate situation. If obi becomes worst nightmare, this drama will be dug out as part of direct support from winner's chapel.

No Nigeria leader is interested in suffering citizens, governance is not rule with mere theoretical talks. Until all citizens learn to appreciate their leaders when they are in power and also play their rightful parts in corporating with leading government to succeed, we will only keep experimenting without getting it right. Anyone that God will use among Tinubu, Obi and Atiku to turn Nigeria better should get there.

Shouting Tinubu, Obi or Atiku is just waste of time. All of them are bad and good, none of them is perfect, none of them will perform magic. Until Buhari leaves before we begin to appreciate little contribution he has made like Jonathan and Obasanjo. Message if choice should have been coded and not direct because it is not every member that believes in Obi and if Obi fails to deliver, they may turn back to that church to ask questions. God will help our land

Sweetplum:
On this matter, he's right. Though he made typo error about. He wanted to say chicken and pig feeds.
Actually, corn/maize and cassava has many benefits and Tinubu was right when he mentioned them. Forget about his look, speech, intonation or whatever propaganda they v been dishing him as breakfast. His brain is better than that of Obi+Atiku+Kwankwaso. Anyone that need savage breakfast can quote me wrongly. Maybe I ll vote him or not is my choice which I ll make on the day of election.
About Seun Elewa, he has his flaws. I recalled when hackers hacked this site in 2014. He lost Nairaland data of 6months (from January-June 2014), if not more. He was crying like a baby. That was when I first knew about this site.
I knew from a family friend who mailed him.
