I laugh in Yoruba when I read such things.

In the West, gays fought for the rights they presently have. It was taboo in West as well.

Justin Fashanu, the first openly gay soccer player in the world committed suicide.

If you wanted to ruin your acting career in Hollywood 20 years ago, just come out openly that you were gay. Ellen Degeneres, a now popular talk show host saw her acting career totally destroyed when she came out as gay. Even till date, many gay people refuse to come out as gay for fear of being stigmatised.

The United States used to dismiss 12,000 service men and women yearly when they discovered they were gay.

This is what happens

As countries grow richer, acceptance of homosexuality becomes more wide spread. This lynching these boys faced, do you expect it to happen in Ikoyi? Do you expect Otedola to lead these people around town? Or is it in Ilupeju or Adeniyi Jones or Abiola Gardens you expect this to happen?

Also in richer lands, police will not fold their hands and allow such public humiliation to occur. Not possible.

Also, gays will use the courts to fight for their rights.

Eventually, most people will see that homosexuality is only a danger to those engaged in it. As long as it's not my buttocks, no wahala.

Evil thrives and might gain acceptance when good stands idly by.

This is pure wickedness and abuse of human right.

Which human right? Is the anus meant for the Male genital organ and vice versa? That’s not sex. That’s worse than bestiality - even the beasts of the wild are not degenerates! Think straight warped mind. Accept your mind needs a foundational reset and be restored to normalcy! They can proceed to UK and US and degenerate further!!

Aregberascal did well in Osun so APC should have the day but Osun politics get as e get, it's one of the most advanced state politics in Nigeria.

Akande performed very well, they voted him out for oyinlola, oyinlola did same, they voted him out also for Aregbe....so performance is not a determinant for succession in osun

You clearly do not have a wholistic understanding of Osun politics and its players.

Android handily beats the iPhone in light of the fact that it gives a lot more functionality, flexibility and freedom of choice.

The more freedom to choose the more responsibility to ensure you are secured in your choice. With an iPhone the responsibility of ensuring that you are secure online is on the capable shoulders of Apple. Won’t trade that for supposed flexibility!

The Lecture hall itself is in a pitiful state!

Nigeria has yet again been 'disgraced' internationally, following an assignment Harvard University gave to its students in which Nigeria was used as a case study of a failed African country.

The question Harvard University gave its students reads;

Africa is growing. Seven of the the ten fastest growing economies in the world are in Africa, and the continent's largest economies are becoming less dependent on extractive commodities. The continent's rising middle class has demonstrated a taste for consumer goods and technological innovation, and Africa's population-currently more than a billion people- is booming and overwhelmingly young at a time when populations in other regions are shrinking and aging.

Nigeria, sub-saharan Africa's largest economy, epitomizes both the promise and the problems the continent faces in the 21st century. The contry had failed to thrive for its first thirty years as an independent nation, despite having a developmental head start relative to countries like China and India, as well as hundreds of billions of dollars in oil revenue.. Now, after pathbreaking reforms followed by signs of retrenchment, Nigeria's new President faced both vast opportunity and grave challenges. Would the country flourish or founder in this new era? We will analyze key reforms in Nigeria's economy, significant political developments, and the choices facing the country's fast-growing private sector.

Why did Nigeria fail to thrive between 1960 and 1999, particularly relative to China and India?

How would you characterize former President Obasanjo's legacy?

Are you bullish or bearish on the next fifteen years for Nigeria? What would make you change your mind? What opportunities do you see? What are the challenges (and risks)

I know Omisore is in a problem already having fought with his protectors (PDP), Fayose may not do proper hanging over to the next governor before leaving the country, it's his usual habit. Hummmmm who knows Obanikoro might be forgiven due to his new alliance with the APC. Time will tell.
First to comment on first post this Friday 20/04/2018

Selfish leaders? Thieves!! Brigands!!! Fit for the guilotine!!!

Ake1:
Indeed a lot of youths are not only lazy but crazy as well. See the rising records of robbery, political thugs, Yahoo boys, fraudulent youths otherwise call 419, ritualists, kidnappers, scammers, even highly rise of exam malpractices to mention but few.
PMB is not lieing. Let say the truth.

A parent whose ward turned out half-done and next-to-nothing but useless should hang his head in shameful contemplation and not trumpet his obvious tragedy for all to see!

Mr. Femi Adesina just made a fool of himself defending the apparently indefensible! Buhari spoke his mind!!

It is increasingly getting more difficult not to believe that Buhari is not up to leading this country. How he keeps an IGP in office who has failed so abysmally at his job is beyond comprehension! The morale of a typical Nigerian Policeman is further dampened!! A policeman goes down in the line of duty and his colleagues are not there in a jiffy to have his remains handled decently when just less than a kilometer or so from that spot there is a police station! It is sad that his remains is left to be turned around like you toss pancake to reveal his identity as Ifeolu Akinola! Is that how his family ought to learn of his death? O Nigeria - what ails thee? Where is the police airwing?

One hour and counting men of the Nigerian Police Force were nowhere in sight the other day at Offa having been neutralized by armed robbers and you expect the citizens to wholly trust the NPF to trust you! The Kwara CP was on Channels TV shamelessly saying that! C’mon that makes no sense! How come an helicopter from Police Airwing that could make it there in 45mins max not sent to Offa? Truth is NPF as presently constituted and run is as inefficient as it is ineffective in the provision of security for the citizenry!

The wicked is on the run though no one is in sight pursuing him!

My friend stop embarrassing yourself on NL
All these dicks u mentioned, yet d north is in a mess educationally and in other respects
They have ruled this country more than any other tribe, yet tneir region is nothing to write about

I'll gladly give u everything I have if I ever hear Dangote condemning Fulani Herdsmen killers
These northerners are guided by their religion first and others second
Call any of them....Dangote, Sule etc. They are all d same.....islamic zombies
Orget the level of their education, it doesn't count
If the Koran is afainst majority of girls getting quality education, that's what d northern leaders will implement....look at those Dapchi gals, one in SS2 can't make a complete sentence in English and u are here hyping Balewa.....smh

I reiterate my post. I advise you to read more carefully my last post. It is their right to push for what they believe in. You push for yours. That is what strategy is all about. As for the less than decent language a legal mind like yours used on me and others - they depict who you are. By your supposed training you didn’t have to go up in flames just because the other person saw things differently. Let’s have a decent conversation. We don’t have to be on the same page. It’s no reason to set the book ablaze!

Unbelievable!

genghiskhan007:
These men u mentioned.....u know nothing about them
Especially their tacit and secret support for islamic domination and extremism
Sit down there and be writing what u don't know

You mix up the issues. Here we talk about their abilities to ramp up and deliver on what they believed to be good for the country and their life pursuits. It is a different thing altogether whether you sync with them on those fronts. Anyway, you reserve to yourself the right to advance what you believe in and work to oppose moves (overt or covert) against. It’s a game of interest.

genghiskhan007:
Abokis are great TERRORISTS, WICKED, BIGOTS, FANATICS, DIRTY AND UNHYGENIC MASTARDS

In my view, slanted is your perspective here Sir/Ma! Tafawa Balewa lived and let others. Dangote is a sound example of business success mixed with humility building bridges across cultural and tribal divides. Maitama Sule was a Nigerian you would be proud to share the Green Passport with anywhere on the globe. Good to know that tribalism trips up and racism will raze reason down!

Take on interviews he gave in London after Independence and his speeches. Great guy! Purposeful! Had his wits about him! He understood international politics. With the probable exception of Gowon no other Nigerian leader had those sterling qualities and more!!

Silverstars:
Have you heard this man speak. He was the most eloquent man to come out of this country.

If this man was our president today, trust me, you would be proud.

When he spoke, western leaders listened with rapt attention.

Just go to YouTube and see one of his videos.

You spoke!

[size=14pt]Olori Bolanle Adepoju, wife of deposed Deji of Akure died from AIDS[/size]

Bolanle, the estranged wife of deposed Deji of Akure, Adesina Adepoju is dead. She passed on last week Tuesday at a private hospital located in Omole phase 1, Ikeja Lagos after a protracted illness diagnosed to be AIDS.

http://news2.onlinenigeria.com/news/top-stories/105021-olori-bolanle-adepoju-wife-of-deposed-deji-of-akure-died-from-aids.html

Postscript, the deposed DEJI probably correctly accused her of promiscuity. The Deji probably went about a just cause in an unjust manner. He should be on his way to an AIDS screening!

Confused Town.
Confused Oba.
Confused People.

Just imagine this idiot trying to force the whole Iwo town to be Muslims.

Amazing to think that it does not occur to him that the typical Yoruba man who lives in the domain of an Emir in the North will not address an Emir in the North as Kabiesi. Poor sense of history and manifestation of illiteracy. Yoruba folklore is lost on him otherwise he’ll recall how tortoise had the mass of the elephant trapped in a deep pit just by singing his praise upon which he dance-stepped his way on to a spread of moccasin rug laid on the deep pit and concealing it! The rest is history to the wise!!

lonelydora:
You may not like Kano because it's a Northern state. Fact is, Kano state have been producing working governors from time past. Kano is one of the state with good infrastructures. Kwankwasiyya and Others worked!

Landlord..travel and see!

With the exception of Barkin Zuwo. He gave us a bad face!

except where a cover-up is imminent. The details are explicit in the audio recording. They are verifiable through the records of the University that will show the taught course, the exam in question, the grades recorded,the marks scored by each student, who failed, who passed,the movements of the don on the day in question and the student. As to who’ll be the complainant that’s for the university to decide but it has a duty to protect the academic integrity of the institution even where the student refuses to show up.The incident discloses an offense against OAU and the Student who is herself an offender for attempted sexual gratification in return for grades.

Deliberately mentioned his name whereupon he quickly questioned her reason for so doing!

Fortunatus get ready!

You forgot to add not to bring in new electrical appliances and furnishings during the daytime and to the knowledge of the Landlord!

Not new! Members of The Order Of Judas Iscariot! They will go the way he went.

Unfortunate. However it is important to note that most police stations in Nigeria are manned by folks who are not at alert to appropriately respond to such attacks on a Police Station not to talk of the citizen.

coach that cannot collect money for fixed match , is that one coach ?

Serious?

SarkinYarki:
Jeez ...I remember this man ....So after all the allowances he was storing water inside rubber drum in the bathroom and using premier soap...Nigeria is really a shit hole country...I am sure even Tinubu bathroom looks like this....what do our politicians even use the money for sef because it doesnt even reflect on them

So unfortunate! Vanity upon vanity!! They add no value truly worth calling one to their society!!!

Won’t be surprised to learn Buhari is secretly sending emissaries to Obasanjo who himself is complicit in all of these that ail us in Nigeria

We need the materials to defend ourselves since Buhari has failed to protect us. Let’s have arms.

5thElement:
So after all the lofty promises you made during the last election campaigns all you can offer Nigerians is RICE?

Not even anti corruption fight?

Not even stable power supply?

Not even defeat of boko haram?

Shame on Buhari and his legion of supporters. Shame!

Which rice? At n18,000?
