Destroyed her husband’s political carrier. Ambode must be a supportive husband. He did nothing publicly to suggest he was displeased with the show of shame his wife put up in the church the other day leading to the eviction of the church Vicar from the Vicarage in a manner most inhuman!

The Audacity Of Hope!

But the FG can afford the wasteful billions the largely rascally National Assembly earns! Just that the NLC Leadership is itself puerile!!

Doctorfitz:
And these are the stories I want on fp be it 100percent correct or 50percent correct...The youths need to knw their history,know the politicians you celebrate,what are their antecedents?..A man who doesn't remember is past already has a bad future.

For obvious reasons those who messed up our country and wish to continue to misgovern same abolished the teaching of History as a subject in Nigerian schools. Olusegun Obasanjo is a culprit of note in this respect!

He is not an example of the typically virtuous, hardworking and respectful African Youth! He is not who we are!! Those who know him closely know him wholly!

Oby just blew it! Hoping to win elections using gender equality and reserving offices for youths is not it!! Who allegedly stole the most money under Jonathan was a female!!! I’m no male chauvinist though!!!’

But the FG has paucity Of intel to deal with the war against terror. Incessant terrorist raids on Nigerian military bases will better avoided by valuable intel.

When an elder dances in the market without his cap on it speaks volumes about his personality.

Clear now that this fellow is desperate to become President. The very last thing Nigeria needs now is an additional State - no matter from which geopol Zone!

theoldpretender:
We need to stop spending money on subsides in the petroleium, education, and power sectors, fight corruption, take loans for power, rail and roads, and use them well, and spend more money on technical education.

Investors would flow in, and Nigeria go better.

Spend money on education. Primary to Tertiary!

The said offence took place july and it's now the Police are realising that they need to arrest him.

amalab30:
Yeah I got it. I'll send as soon as I settle down bruh. Compliments!

Kindest regards! Thanks!

We must grow up politically! The US President Trump has been a private businessman all his life! For far too long we have left politics to folks who are largely unfit by reason of the fact that they lack education, life achievement et al. Now is the time ALL including professionals, private sector players etc get involved in participatory politics so the political jobbers who have nothing to their names can be excused. Imagine if Ayodele Fayose were a seasoned professional or businessman before he became a politician!

amalab30:
I've emailed you Pauladonis. Enjoy!

Good day! May I be favoured with a copy. I’ve emailed you. Thanks to you!

VON DG: only Igbo can deny themselves presidency in 2023
FacebookTwitterGoogle+PinterestLinkedInWhatsApp
THE Southeast heard yesterday what it should do to have a shot at the Presidency in 2023 – support the re-election of President Muhammadu Buhari.

All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain and Voice of Nigeria (VON) Director-General Osita Okechukwu said that only the Southeast people can deny the region of the presidency in 2023 if they vote against Buhari in the next year presidential election.

He warned that the fruit of whatever they sow with their votes would be there for them to harvest in 2023, should they cast their ballot against Buhari.

Okechuku, who was reacting to the statement credited to the Ohanaeze Ndigbo to the effect that 2023 Igbo presidency quest is a plot to hoodwink the region, counselled the Igbo leadership to put its house in order and organise the region ahead of the 2023 presidency rather than agonise.

He said: “May I once more appeal to the leadership of Ohanaeze Ndigbo to start organising for Nigeria’s president of Igbo extraction in 2023, instead of agonising. It is surreal for the truism is that equity, natural justice and good conscience is on our side.

“All we need to do is for the Ohanaeze Ndigbo leadership to think out of the box, reflect deeply, and dust off ancient stereotypes and prejudices by voting for President Buhari.

“The real politics is that voting Buhari will better galvanise and strengthen our alliance with the North, more than voting for Atiku Abubakar. Buhari has a vote bank of 10-12 million voters, mostly his core followership reflected in his bids in 2003, 2007, 2011 and 2015 presidential elections.

“Is it not disheartening for the National Publicity Secretary of Ohanaeze, Prince Uche Achi-Okpagha to agonise thus?”

He quoted the Ohanaze as saying: “Note that neither President Buhari, nor any Northern political stalwart has made a pronouncement on the 2023 presidency, instead they have allowed some cabinet members of Yorubas extraction, including Osinbajo and Fashola, to dissipate energy to the effect that Southwest would have presidency in 2023. It is an orchestrated plot to hoodwink the people of the two regions in order to elicit their votes.”

Okechukwu reminded his kinsmen of the Secretary to Government of the Federation (SGF), Boss Mustapha’s statement that “the quickest and easiest means to the presidency for the Southeast is to support President Muhammadu Buhari’s second term”.

He also reminded them that they “can short-circuit the period in terms of only having him there for another four years and whatever they do in 2019 will determine what will happen thereafter because politics is a game of numbers and it is like a cooperative society.”

Okechukwu went on: “Whatever you bring as an investment when dividends are going to be shared, you will get proportionate with your investment and your investment in politics is what you bring to the table and I urge the Southeast to look at this matter seriously that every time we have a presidency in Nigeria, it is negotiated in several ways. Either negotiated by votes or what you bring to the table and you must negotiate from the position of strength.”

Reminding them that the Southeast remained the only zone in the Southern Belt that has not presided over Nigeria from the Aso Villa since the rotation of the presidency between Northern and Southern Belts began in 1999, he said: “2023 is our turn, unless we wittingly or unwittingly throw it away.



“Hence, it is my candid view that with such immeasurable equity, natural justice and good conscience on our side, 2023 president is Ndigbo’s turn; unless Ohanaeze continues to angonise instead of organising.

“The present rotation convention, we mustn’t forget, was in the first place constructed to engender equity, peace and harmony of our dear nation. Let’s harvest it.

“One therefore appeals to Ohanaeze leadership to place the core Igbo interest above partisanship and demagoguery; for the quickest and surest route to end the vexatious issue of marginalisation and create a sense of belonging is 2023 president of Igbo extraction

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo, on Monday evening, paid a visit to his 91-year-old former teacher and mentor, Mr James Popoola, who taught him English language.

A statement by Obasanjo’s media aide, Kehinde Akinyemi, made available to journalists in Abeokuta on Wednesday, said the former President was accompanied on the visit by his classmate and close friend, who is the traditional ruler of Ibara, Oba Jacob Omolade.

It was gathered that Pa Popoola taught both Obasanjo and Oba Omolade at the Baptist Boys High School, Abeokuta, in the 1950s.

The statement said Obasanjo engaged the former tutor in banters while recalling some old memories.

The statement read in part

“The Trip, Which Was Led By One Of The Teacher’s Children, Akin, From His Abeokuta Residence, Saw Obasanjo Arriving Into The Waiting Arms Of Mr And Mrs Popoola At The Family House In Ilaro, Yewa South Local Government Area Of Ogun State, At Around 5pm.

“It Was An Elated Pa Popoola Who Said. ‘I Can’t Believe It. You Mean I Will Host You In My House Today Before My Death? It Was 35 Years Ago I Met You. Oh! I Am Delighted, Very Delighted’.

“Obasanjo Made A Move To Take Over His (Popoola’s) Wheelchair To Drive Him Back Into The Large Sitting Room, Saying, ‘We Are Delighted Too Sir. Let Us Come Inside. I Am Here With Kabiyesi Too. You Remember Him? Jacob Omolade, That Boy That’….”

“Ahhh! Kabiyesi O! Yes, I Remember Him. The Olubara,” Popoola Interjected, As The Traditional Ruler Stretched Out A Hand To Shake Him.

Obasanjo said it had always been his desire to visit the ex-teacher but for his tight schedule.

At that point, the former teacher’s aged wife, Mojisola, joined in the exchange of banters.

“Daddy Often Remembers All Your Pranks. He Must Be Very Happy Receiving You Today,” She Told Obasanjo And The Monarch.

Pa Popoola thanked the visitors and prayed for their continuous success in life.

When the age difference between the ex-teacher and Obasanjo, who will be 82 next year was pointed out, Akinyemi said,

“Anyone That Attended The Standard Class In Those Days Could Teach. With A Three-Month Course Then, You Could Be A Teacher. He (Popoola) Could Have Been A Grade II Teacher Then With Eight Or Nine Years’ Difference Between The Ages Of The Teacher And His Pupils.”

Yewa votes tins! #hedonist

A choice opportunity for ministries to outsource their aviation transport requirements and not keep helicopters and private jets.

What an advice from an unrepentant apostle of do or die politics aka Third Term Trial!

[quote author=Ijeoma660 post=74101488][/quote]You see what the IB does and will do with money once he has some of it!

We have in this country DSS, NIA, DMI and SIIB.

That is something organised lacked the courage to say and insist on!

naijamerican:
You're a fool. Nigeria is leading the world in Poverty under northern leadership and you firm your mouth to talk to rot. God punish you and your children.

Typical, very typical! A self inflicted curse just got delivered at your doorstep! It is seven times more potent than the one you sent my way. In any event the curse you sent has already returned to your life except my comment is not fair on the issue under discussion. The only way you will get out of your generational affliction which has already started is to repent. Mark it, from the time you purported to curse me your destiny and those unfortunate to be in your generation started a journey South never to return until you repent!

Given his antecedents “This man indeed must be a fraud!” is likely to be the question on the mind of the typical Nigerian! What an answer to a germaine question!! Atiku is indeed audacious to have contemplated contesting the 2019 Presidential elections!!

The solidly wealthy will like this - it separates the boys from men!

Obi1kenobi:
Who was questioning their right to freely campaign? What does questioning the ethics of Federal Executive elected and appointed officials invoking crude, parochial interests have to do with "rights"? Who was questioning their rights to campaign?

I guess the points have been made.

ImperialYoruba:

God bless you!

Yoruba, the most Superior race on earth!

I beg your pardon! It is insensitivity steeped deep in myopic tendencies to think that way!! Hitler was like that and ended up badly!!!

Obi1kenobi:
1) Agree
2) Agree
3) A very inapt comparison. The Vice President is an elected public servant who in that capacity, should be committed (at least openly) to serving the interests of all his subjects. Ben Nwabueze is a private citizen who represents Igbo socio-cultural organizations. Comparing the responsibilities of both is ridiculous.
4) I see no strategic value in that. Seems a simple case of invoking primordial sentiments before a favored audience.
5) Not sure the games are of any productive value to the Nigerian polity. Our politics need to mature beyond this.

It's one thing for people like Ajimobi and other South West governors or the likes of Tinubu or Afenifere members or Obas to say these things. But Federal office holders like Osibanjo and Fashola getting themselves involved in this crude primordial politics seems a betrayal of core ethics expected from those who represent us in the Federal executive.

Well, your position is acknowledged in the spirit of the right of freedom of expression. World over elected officials seeking re-election reserve to themselves the right to freely campaign.
