Gerrarahere okogie !!! Your opinion isn't necessary

Truth is bitter bros

They scammed him, they taught him POL 101-Introduction to Nigerian Politics
Men, its not good to be clueless
Cluelessness is worse than cancer and HIV/AIDS combined

Mogidi:
Prof Yeye Osibanjo again.

show me just one man who is as great as 10% of Prof Oshibajo in your paternal and maternal lineage, ignoramus!

Let NNPC continue to live in the past, they see the chop chop subsidy as the best for Nigeria, they have never make suggestions on how our refineries can work, I know they are talking about subsidy so as to hoodwink GMB to believe that they love Nigeria and therefore forget about their numerous atrocities against Nigeria, stupid people. Let a thorough probe of NNPC/Alison Madueke/GEJ/PEJ be carried out to ascertain the level of evil perpetrated by these glutons since 2010, then let all that are culpable be sent to Bauchi prison or Gashua, let all the management of NNPC be removed, then we can be sure we are starting a new country as from May 29, bunch of idiots!

Good response from Asiwaju here, let the fraudster go and answer his query in Chicago first and come back to befriend the Asiwaju of Africa

Ha, GEJ still dey kick o! He just sacked Gbenga Elegbeleye because his godfather the deputy governor of Ondo State decamped to APC few hours to the March 28 presidential election and now IGP Abah is gone for not helping him rig election, no problem sha, GEJ himself has been sacked by Nigerians, GEJ till May 29, 2015!

Learn not to disrespect elders, OBJ no be your mate

bad losers

APCeeeeee: change!!!

She celebrated birthday naked, rubbish!

Very good

I believe the mother has her life to live but I'm still of the opinion that she should also respect the feelings of her daughter, the girl may be thinking that her parent would still reconcile, or she may know about the sexual escapades of the teacher in question in the past, she may see the teacher as someone who is trying to further polarise her family or another fun seeking playboy, yes the mother has to go on with her life but let her reconcile with her hubby or look for another man, cheers!

The girl has feelings too, she felt demoralized by the fact that her mother is dating her teacher who she introduced to her

She cant stop her mum from loving but for the mum to decend so low as to date her daughters teacher is shameful, cant she find another man elsewhere? Well, let that girl have a sincere daughter-mother talk with her mum where she will bare her mind and plead with her mum to desist from seeing that man, she could involve her mother's relations if the woman prove adamant

Smart but deceitful and belated move
He sacked them for being employed illegally, now he has legalised their illegal appointment, Lol, the fear of change is the beginning of wisdom, Change! Change!! Change!!!

Breaking News:
Mimiko Recalls Sacked LG Workers,
Waives Promotion Exams For Civil
Servants.
The Ondo state Government has re-
instated about one thousand Local
Government workers laid off last year
following discovery that their
employment was illegal.
Government also announced that that
it has waived the outcome of the last
promotional examination in the state
to ensure that workers in its
employment eligible for promotion
are promoted .
In a statement issued by the state’s
Commissioner for Information, Hon.
Kayode Akinmade in Akure today,
about 50 workers each, from the 18
local governments in the state laid
off following discovery that they were
illegally employed, have been re-
instated and the irregularities in their
employment process corrected.
Government also disclosed that it
has decided to promote every worker
due for promotion irrespective of their
performance in the promotional
examination conducted for them for
the same purpose.
According to Akinmade “ The state
Government has re -absorbed and
properly employed about 1,000 local
government workers identified to
have been illegally employed during
the last screening exercise in the
state.
“About 50 workers from each of the
18 local government areas in the
state were discovered during the last
screening exercise to have been
employed illegally and were
consequently laid off” he mentioned,
adding however that
“Governor Olusegun Mimiko has
however graciously ordered the re-
instatement of the affected workers
and their employment perfected”
The Governor, he further informed,
“has also ordered the promotion of
workers due for promotion to the next
level of their career without recourse
to the result of the promotional
examination earlier conducted for the
same purpose.”
The Information Commissioner further
mentioned government’s desire to
begin preparation for the conduct of
local government election in the state
as soon as the state assembly
election is done with on Saturday.

This Patience is actually meant for prison

Back to Okrika never to come back again, Na only her waka go!

All these politicians are like the biblical Thomas who said he won't believe Jesus rose from the dead except he see him physically, they didn't believe in this change phenomenon until GMB, the symbol of change was announced as President elect, anyway, they are welcome, their sins are forgiven, they are therefore baptized into the world of the "changers" in the name of the father, and of the son and of the holy spirit, cheers!

Mark my words, this guy Osita Chidoka has a date with history in Nigeria, that young guy will go far!

Deputy governor, senators, ex-
minister quit in Edo, Kwara, Benue,
others
A wave of defections has hit the
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
It was not immediately clear
yesterday whether the party’s loss in
the March 28 presidential election
triggered the defections.
In Jigawa, Kwara, Kebbi and Gombe
states, key political figures yesterday
defected to the All Progressives
Congress (APC).
In Benue State, former Attorney
General of the Federation and
Minister of Justice Michael Kaase
Aondoakaa resigned from the PDP.
He is yet to join another party.
In Edo State, the PDP candidate in
the 2012 governor ship election,
Maj.- Gen. Charles Arhiavbere was
received into the APC yesterday by
Governor Adams Oshiomhole. He
announced his defection at the
weekend.
Jigawa State Deputy Governor Ahmed
Mahmoud led the defectors at a
ceremony in his home town Gumel.
Mahmoud along with a Special
Adviser to Governor Sule Lamido,
Alhaji Bello Dansokoto; the
immediate past executive Chairman,
Dutse Capital Development Authority,
Alhaji Bashir Aminu and the
immediate past Chairman of Gumel
Local Government Council, Alhaji
Ya’u Kura, defected, taking with them
thousands of supporters.
The defectors were received by
executive members of the party and a
massive crowd of APC supporters.
They described their exit from the
PDP as “good riddance”.
Mahmoud, who spoke at the venue,
said: “My defection is as a result of
my personal and supporters’ interest
that prevailed on my conscience to
do the right thing.”
The deputy governor, who spoke
amidst shouts of “change” by
thousands of APC supporters, added:
“I have been loyal to Governor Sule
Lamido up to this moment and I pray
that all of you should as a matter of
respect reciprocate same to me and
this party.”
He said he had no regret over his
decision to join the APC.
Mahmoud becomes the fourth deputy
governor to defect – the third to
leave the PDP for the APC – after
Niger State Deputy Governor Ahmed
Ibeto and Ondo State Deputy
Governor Ali Olanusi. Rivers State
Deputy Governor Tele Ikuru left the
APC for the PDP.
But after his action yesterday, the
state PDP chapter issued a statement
saying it had expelled Mahmud.
The statement signed by the PDP
chairman of Galagamma ward in
Gumel, Jigawa State Alhaji Ibrahim
Kafinta, said the decision to expel
Mahmoud was taken during a
stakeholders meeting held in his
ward.
Kafinta alleged that the deputy
governor sabotaged the party during
the National Assembly elections.
He said the Gumel Local Government
headquarters of the party had
endorsed the expulsion.
Former Governor Saminu Turaki also
defected to the APC.
Turaki requested that his official
reception into the party should be
held at his Kazaure Emirate home
town today.
He was joined on the defection train
by Alhaji Abba Anas and Senator
Muhammad Dudu. Dudu represented
Jigawa North-East Senatorial District
between 1999 and 2007.
Receiving the defectors, APC
Chairman Ado Sani Kiri said the party
had increased from strength to
strength. He assured the new
members that they would be
accorded the same treatment as
those they met in the party.
One of the defectors, former House of
Representatives member Alhaji Anas,
explained why he joined the APC.
The former member representing
Guri/Hadejia/Kirikasamma Federal
Constituency said: ”I am joining the
PDP due to the overwhelming support
Nigerians gave to General
Muhammadu Buhari and one cannot
be left out”.
Gombe State House of Assembly
Majority Leader Mamman Alkali
yesterday joined hundreds of others
who left the ruling PDP for the APC.
The defectors included over 50
Special and Personal Assistants to
Governor Ibrahim Dankwambo.
Alhaji Ibrahim Zamfara, a member of
PDP Elders Committee, who spoke on
behalf of the defectors, said they
dumped the PDP because they
wanted to avoid a situation where
Gombe would end up as an
opposition state.
”We have decided to embrace change
because of shoddy happenings in the
PDP. The party lacks transparency
and we are fed up with the
discriminatory activities of PDP in
Gombe State.
”We feel it will be better for us to
pitch our tent with the winning train
so that the state can benefit and
move forward,” he said.
Receiving the defectors, APC
governorship candidate Alhaji Inuwa
Yahaya promised them a fair deal,
saying they should feel free and
consider themselves as bona fide
members of the party.
He said their decision was timely and
would further enhance APC’s fortunes
ahead of Saturday’s governorship
and legislative elections
In Ilorin, no fewer than 20,000
supporters of the 2011 governorship
candidate of the defunct Action
Congress of Nigeria (ACN) in Kwara
State, Mohammed Dele Belgore (SAN)
, have defected to the APC.
The defectors were led by Rev.
Bunmi Olusona, a close associate of
Belgore.
Belgore was the state’s coordinator
of the Jonathan Campaign
Organisation.
Mr. Adebayo Ajimoti, Alhaji Gobir
Mohammed, Alhaji Dele Sarkinwa, Dr.
Mohammed Potun, Funso Agaka,
Alhaji Nasiru Ubandawaki, Mr. Yunus
Abdullahi and Mr. Dada Abiodun also
defected.
In a letter addressed to the state’s
chairman of APC, Alhaji Ishola
Balogun-Fulani, the former PDP
leaders traced their decision to a
meeting they held with the APC
leader in the state, Dr. Bukola Saraki,
and their realisation that the PDP is
“made up of people who do not have
the interest of the state at heart”.
The letter, dated April 6, 2015,
described their decision to join the
PDP in the first instance, as a result
of “ignorance”, They lamented that
what they found in the PDP was best
described as belonging to a
“generation of vipers”.
The letter said: “We make bold to tell
Kwarans that they should stay away
from the party because it is a sinking
ship.” The letter claimed that the PDP
had been able to produce an array of
bad candidates who voters have
come to see as clueless politicians.
The defectors also wrote that they
were never comfortable with the
environment due to what they
labelled as the practice of politics of
bitterness by “self-seeking and
attention-craving politicians”.
The defectors said “for continued
progress and prosperity”, the new
APC members directed their followers
to freely go to thelr wards and team
up with the APC and vote for the
party’s candidates for governorship
and House of Assembly positions.
Aondoakaa (SAN) sent a letter of
resignation “with immediate effect”
from the PDP to his ward chairman,
asking that his name be struck off
the members’ list in Lessel Township
Ward.
Aondoakaa, said he came to “this
important decision” after due
consultation with his family, friends
and political associates. He said he
would concentrate on his legal
practice.
On the governorship and House of
Assembly elections, he enjoined the
people to vote according to their
conscience.
The immediate past chairman of the
PPD in Kebbi State and dozens of
other leaders have dumped the party
for the APC,.
Three aggrieved governorship
aspirants – Mansir Mansa, Hussaini
Adamu and Zubairu Dabai – also
defected to the APC.
They accused the PDP of victimising
them and expressed a lack of
confidence that the party will give
them justice.
Other party leaders who moved to the
APC are: Abbas Jega, Danjuma
Kamba, Shehu Malisa, Bala Gwandu,
Rilwanu Auwal, Ilyasu Kambaza,
Dambegu Vice, Usman Zuru, Danjuma
Zuru, Aliyu Kalgo, Haruna Magarza,
Abu Dangoje, and Bello Kaoje, who
lost the Suru/Bagudu Federal
Constituency election to an APC
candidate.
The running mate of the APC
governorship candidate, Sama’ila
Yombe, who received the defectors in
Zuru on Sunday, said the party was
consulting with many other PDP
members to join the APC before the
governorship election.
“PDP is not a party to remain in,” he
said.

Now add Oyo, Ogun, Kwara, Kogi, Nasarawa, Ondo, Osun, Lagos, Benue, Adamawa to Sai Baba's votes, GEJ is a goner!

Rilwon:

This is higher than the total number of votes in Bayelsa State

steppin:
Keep dreaming!
Pepper sellers are also making analysis.
You guys can't make any analysis without adding sentiments.

Thank you sir, where are the sentiments here? Simply tell me you read my post with a sentimental mind, or you didn't even read it as I can see.

These are my projections for the Saturday election, I assume that there will be 40% turn out and that Buhari will have 80% in the North west, 70% in the northeast, 55% in the north central, 55% in the southwest, 10% in the southeast and 10% in the south south while GEJ was projected to have 20% in the northwest, 30% in the northeast, 45% in the north central, 45% in the southwest, 90% in the southeast and 90% in the southsouth. In arriving at these figures, I used the following criterias as what will guide the voters
1. Religion
2. Ethnicity
3. Performance
4. Undecided voters
5. Issues in the country such as corruption, Boko haram, Mama Peace etc
6. Performance of state governors
In the north, ethnic and religious considerations will tilt victory towards Buhari being predominantly Hausa-Fulanis and Muslims, in places like Kaduna, Adamawa, Kogi and Kwara states that has sizeable Christian populations, GEJ will have good showing while he may win marginally in states like Taraba, Plateau and Benue that are predominantly Christians.
For GEJ, ethnic consideration will give him good win in the southsouth and south east, I projected 90% for in in both zones.
In the south west, APC governors are on ground in four states so political party affliations and power of incumbency of governors will help Gen Buhari in those 4 states, In Ondo and Ekiti that have PDP governors, party loyalties will work in favour of GEJ to some extent but the Change mantra is so resounding in the two states, they are also the two states where allegations of non-performance is leveled against the president most in the southwest. In Osun State, GEJ will win big in Ife area because of Omisore, resentment against the governor because of salary issues will favour the president to some extent but will not be sufficient to give him a win, but he may get 25% this time around unlike in 2011. Other issues that could favour GEJ in the southwest is his dollarization of the terrain in the past few weeks, but in lagos, the consistent criticism of about N9bn contract given to Gani Adams, the OPC leader may work against GEJ because many reasonable voters are beginning to see the president as desperate and promoting Adams whom many educated Nigerians in the area continue to see as a nuisance. Issues such as religion will also play out in the south west, 90% of the votes of Muslims in the southwest will go to GMB, the Redeemed Christian Church of God where Prof Yemi Oshibajo is a Pastor will also play a role in favour of GMB. Though Pastor E.A. adeboye banned political statements in the church's pulpit nationwide, many influential pastors in the church are seriously rooting for one of their own. In the southwest, hatred for the first lady Dame Patient Jonathan, aka Mama Peace is more serious than in other parts of southern Nigeria, this will also affect GEJ marginally.
See my analysis in the attached document, a close race is in the offing even though GMB is favoured to win the race, I think I am fare to some extent, cheers!

JustCalMeDBoss:
Every one in ondo knows that that guy is a feather wight he his neva seen on an ocassion, does not speak to the press, the average akure citizen does not know his name. APC just using the news to create a blance but we all know ondo is for GEJ.

I am an Ondo state citizen, the deputy governor is actually not visible in the media but the governor cannot underrate him, he is a grassroot mobilizer per excellence, his Ondo North senatorial district is entirely APC and now that he has joined them, PDP fate is sealed.

[quote author=seunmsg post=32022232][/quote]I am writing from FUTA Akure right now, Alhaji Ali Olanusi has moved on the APC

Volksfuhrer:
They are teaching Jonah Politics 101! He can't even lead his own party well! Counterfeit President!

,Yes, POL 101, they are teaching the fisherman that politics is different from hydro biology, unfortunately, our daft-by-default president and shepopo his wife are slow learners, o ma se o!
Sai Baba walahi!

AMID the froth and fury of a cut-
throat election campaign, the Federal
Executive Council last Wednesday
approved “the immediate
implementation of the 2014 National
Conference report.” In what seems
like a last-ditch gambit to gain
electoral mileage as Nigeria goes to
the polls on Saturday, the bizarre
order, coming just days to the
presidential ballot, should be taken
with a pinch of salt.
In all probability, the announcement
by Pius Anyim, the Secretary to the
Government of the Federation, on
behalf of the cabinet, is a cheap
political stunt and a blatant attempt
to deceive the electorate. Anyim said
the recommendations and resolutions
that require constitution amendment
and enactment of new laws would be
forwarded to the National Assembly
for promulgation into law, while
policy matters in the report would be
referred to the affected agencies and
the tiers of government concerned
for action. As was expected,
politicians have gone to town with it,
making outlandish promises,
including the creation of new states.
But turning the strategic issue of
restructuring to an object of a knee-
jerk reaction to a seeming
plummeting political fortune is a
disservice to the country.
There is nothing altruistic or patriotic
about FEC’s feckless authoritative
approval of a document that holds so
much hope for the country’s socio-
economic transformation, but has
been sacrificed on the altar of
personal political ambition. This is
another outrageous example of a
political joke taken too far. The FEC
statement lacks power to convince
those who had been canvassing the
implementation of the report since it
was submitted in August 2014.
Instead, the President consigned the
report to the archives. What, for
instance, does it cost the President
to trim his bloated cabinet, as
recommended by the conference,
when he had the opportunity to do
so after some ministers resigned last
October, and especially in the face of
dwindling oil revenues? The
President swore in another set of
eight ministers last week to fill the
vacancies left behind by those who
resigned to contest elections.
On several occasions between the
inauguration of the conference and
the end of last year, Jonathan’s
headline-grabbing statements had
offered a ray of hope to Nigerians.
Promising the conferees that their
work would not be a waste, Jonathan
had assured when the 22-volume
report, containing over 600 draft
proposals, was submitted that “it is a
new dawn in Nigeria and a new
nation is at the door.”
And shortly after this, the President
had set up another committee to
study the report, articulate the
recommendations made and develop
the strategies for the
implementation. The committee was
also meant to advise the government
on how to effectively implement the
report. Similarly, in his broadcast to
mark the 2014 Independence Day on
October 1, the President reaffirmed
that he would keep his promise.
“Every promise I make, God willing, I
will see to its fulfilment. I assure
you, we shall implement the report,”
he had said.
But apart from the soundbites and
fury, Jonathan seems not to be in a
hurry to act on the report and has
never built a reputation for
implementing any report. There were
the unimplemented reports of the
Presidential Advisory Council headed
by Theophilus Danjuma, which
recommended the reduction of the
cost of governance; the Presidential
Committee on Review of the Reform
Processes in the Nigerian Public
Service; the Public Awareness on
Security and Civic Responsibilities;
the Stephen Oronsaye Committee on
the Rationalisation and Restructuring
of Federal Government Parastatals,
Commissions and Agencies; and the
Justice Alfa Belgore Committee on
Constitution Review, which also
proposed the devolution of power to
the states, scrapping of the office of
the First Lady and autonomy for local
governments. There were also four
different committees set up to probe
the fuel subsidy scandal without the
government making any tangible use
of their reports.
One of the signs that we are a long
way off from the implementation was
the failure to transmit the report to
the National Assembly, which was
also considering some amendments
to the 1999 Constitution at that time.
The Deputy Leader, House of
Representatives, Leo Ogor, said
during this period that there was no
such report before the parliament.
Things should have been handled
differently if sincerity was in
adequate supply.
The failure to do so might haunt the
country for a long time. Today,
Nigeria is further from being a proper
nation than at any other time in its
history. Since the advent of civil
government 16 years ago, we have
altogether missed our national goals
in critical areas of development.
Because of our failure to restructure,
the component states that depend
mainly on oil revenues are finding it
hard to meet their financial and
security obligations.
Even countries that have had a long
history of being unitary entities are
evolving novel ways of devolving
power to their constituent units and
cities for rapid economic
development. In the United Kingdom,
which is an example of a unitary
state, the central government has
ceded some powers to Northern
Ireland, Scotland and Wales following
constitutional changes in 1997 and
1998.
No doubt, our federalism is
dysfunctional. The Punch editorial
stance strongly supports the
restructuring of the skewed political
system. When the conference was
inaugurated on March 17, 2014, we
had warned, “We must not allow
cynics’ narrative of failure to become
an excuse for despair. Despite
obvious constraints such as the deep
suspicion of the motives of President
Goodluck Jonathan, the controversial
pattern of delegate selection and
ambiguity over its legal status, the
conference has a good chance of
being the take-off point for the long
overdue restructuring of this tottering
political edifice.”
We will continue to stand resolutely
for true federalism as the only
political arrangement for the country.
But it is all evident that Jonathan
has failed badly to translate a
credible and painstakingly worked
out report to a constitutional reform.
He has missed the golden
opportunity to write his name in
gold. Nigerians should reject the
uncanny bait and cheap
electioneering gimmicks.
