Dudu_Negro: What the rest of the country struggle to achieve in strategy, the Northern states working together can accomplish with a single vote.

If we cannot obtain regional partitioning we must work a plan to break the 2/3 monopoly held by Arewa states.

Frank-C:
Talking about cutting cost, why not scrap the House of Reps, afterall they are more in number, less mature and less productive than the Senate.

Desola:

I'm sorry PointB but we are on opposite sides of the spectrum. That I can no longer stand Gbawe does not in any way, shape or form mean I am a signatory to your line of thought.

Tinubu is fit to be a political leader and far better in my opinion than jonasatan but to be the leader of the Yorubas is what I totally oppose. The stark difference between him and Awo is that Awo was not only a Yoruba political leader, he was also the leader of the Yorubas who stood for integrity, loyalty, vision, progress and dignity. All these qualities, I find lacking in Tinubu but for rescuing the SW from the evil PDP party (although for his own gratification), I commend him and indebted to him.

MacLovington: .

If there is only The House, mature people will automatically precipitate there too. There will be more competition to be a rep.

More in number means each member represents a smaller number of people and IN THEORY make governance closer to the people.

An expensive duplication of function is unaffordable. OBJ has said it before.

Elueme: Who then are you working for and whose political ideology in line with the present political movement are you propagating since you stalked you mouth to derail everyone who aligns thought with you? You should be wise young chap! Point B concurring with your line of reasoning doesn't equate a compromising position or wanting to win you over.

Katsumoto:

You miss the point of her post. Let me summarise if I can

1. She loathes PDP WITH ALL HER HEART AND SOUL

2. She was happy that Tinubu was able to remove the band of brigands (PDP) from her region

3. She had hope that Tinubu would do well and actually start to address years of destruction inflicted on her region by OBJ and his gang

4. She is disappointed by Tinubu's approach so far. vis-a-vis
a) method employed for primaries
b) nepotism
c) Tinubu benefiting from the system
d) not proffering pragmatic solutions, instead playing to the gallery with dead on arrival suggestions

5. She hopes that by voicing her strong opinions, Tinubu and his representatives will become aware that all is not well - To whom much is given, much is expected


I think that is her position. Desola, I apologize in advance if I got it wrong.

ndu_chucks: get a cubicle already

Desola:

Kats, you hit all the points hard. Very well articulated, very nicely summarised.

You got it right.

Thank you sir!

Katsumoto:

Mallam,

You be proper agbaya. LMAO



You are welcome; how about dinner?

(Abugije will soon be here to do what he does best)

ndu_chucks: get a cubicle already

Desola:

sure! My place or yours?

Were yen o le block nada lale yi men...

Desola:

I am glad that this is coming from PointB's spokesperson since as articulated as he is, he now requires you to speak for him.

Duly noted, thank you.

NEXT!!!

Desola:

so long as it makes you sleep at night at the thought of a beautiful arewa obirin is stalking you virtually, then it's okay by me ojare. Agba iya! Agba ti won fi nsepe f'omode. Awon abaluje dede. Nkan ti won ma je o je won gbon.

Eleriibu, you don't demean women, you just call them names which in your own dictionary means praising them. As I said before, your veil is off, the whole charade has ended. Go back to your
laptop ojare, Lappy ACN 001. I hope you use a mac and not windows like the PDP lappies.

walex_biz:

hey dudes, i am surprise by the level of immaturity you two are exhibiting, considering the fact that u are yoruba one who have expected that u exhibit the highest form of regard for each other. Mrs or miss desola you are a lady and one would have expected u to show wisdom in what you do. If u are or would be a mother what kind of discipline would u instill in your kid.
Mr Gbawe what kind of elder goes around insulting young ones. Even when they err
one woul have expected u to show wisdom. Agba ti o binu ni omo po jojo. To be candid mr gbawe i have always respected ur opinions with regards to national issue but when this issue that you have neuer criticized acn policy i sat down and analyze some of your post and i realize it is true. Sir for future sake lets criticize objectively without bias for we cannot create a monster to destroy monster cos if we do we will only be shooting ourself in the foot. Please lets quash our anger and be fair in our judgement. A word is good enough for the wise.

Lobatan! Liar! Sycophant!

Akanbi_edu: omo adie o mo awodi, iya e l'omo asa.


Oga katz ati sis Desola, when are you going to join this struggle to get a better deal for Yoruba people? Sebi Tinubu is not doing it right.

Abi na like this we go dey dey?

Gbawe:

This is the crux of the matter. Had it been that Nigeria is not a Nation that bastardizes successful models seen elsewhere,Tinubu's call would be unnecessary. Everything in Nigeria has to be turned into an avenue for a few to derive stupendous wealth which should ordinarily go towards developing the nation.

Dudu_Negro: To those asking how to do it......by special ballot! The people should vote to keep or do away with it.

Paul John: Why in the first place do a country that has not fed his people have two arms of law makers?
Is there a law that the green chamber can't pass except the senate and vice versa?

Akanbi_edu: I am not a christian but there is a story in the bible that has made a very big impression on me. It is that story about isrealites when rescued from Pharaoh. I keep remembering that story dunno why.

Nor be Human beings. shior

But thank God Tinubu understands and he carries on against all odds. If he were like many of these short-sighted people, he would have lost out since.

Katsumoto: Gbawe

A few points consider

1. Some who criticise do so out of love for their home and people and not out of malice

2. Many of those who criticise, were happy with Tinubu for chasing out OBJ and his gang of thieves

3. Chasing out PDP is not the end all and be all; the work is just starting. Similarly, it is wrong to use PDP and OBJ to scare folks. Excellent performance should be the KPI and motivation and not using the 'bogey man' to scare folks.

Not associating with brigands is not the key factor as to whether he 'falls' our hand. He will 'fall' our hands if Fashola turns out to be his only performer.

4. Tinubu has profited financially from his position. That may not matter much if he delivers. It is time to put personal financial gratification aside and embark on a long process of communal economic growth mixed with welfarist policies.

5. That many are unhappy with the PDP should not make the ACN resort to undemocratic methods in selecting office seekers.

6. It is impossible for a party to satisfy everyone; so the ACN should be prepared to accept criticism. As a Yoruba, that is a given. Attempting to label others who question your methods, style, and record is a NO NO. It is the quickest way to irrelevance in Yorubaland.

Gbawe:

Granted, but do you think Yoruba folks don't know how to pragmatically 'qauntify' Tinubu? What do you want us to do? Focus on a man who has no official position , and is not contributing to the ruination of Nigeria currently, yet is using his Political Party to bring sophisticated Governance to the SW that is now delivering what was a dream in the past i.e the notion that the some of the most meritorious sons of a State should lead her?

Gbawe:
Yes, but those you talk of and defend now get it totally wrong with their vacuous witch-hunt an intelligent person like you must never encourage. Where is your sense of equity that must lead you to challenge them to assail the leadership that is most impacting on them at the local or State level? Is that leadership "Tinubu"?

Gbawe:
When have I said it is? Look, as I have done many times, I am ready to show that this is not about empty rhetoric for me. It is about "tangibles" everyone can see and feel. The PDP are out and the real work of those who have replaced them show progress !!! What, for example, do you think of how Ogun State now has a BRT scheme? Built from scratch with new buses supplied, bus lanes demarcated and Stations built? Guy, that is the sort of thing me and you would have settled on as a "necessity" before the elections!!!!

Gbawe:
Frankly, Fashola is not the only ACN performer even if folks want to believe that to be the case here. I have, on my own, supplied pictorial proof of several ACN Governors directly addressing pressing challenges.

Gbawe:
What "delivery" do you want from Tinubu? He is a Party boss assisting electoral processes. It is those who go on to be elected officials we must face. You must ask them to deliver not Tinubu. It seems surreal we are still at the stage of talking about Tinubu as if he has any contract of Governance allowing us to confront him. We have to face our Governors, Senators and Reps as a people who understand and are ready to abide by the concept of holding our directly elected representatives to account.

Gbawe:
I hear this all the time but it remains difficult to prove, within the limits of what is allowed, that the ACN has deployed any candidate selection model that is illegal as per the provisions the Party has set for itself.

Gbawe:
Look, I personally accept criticism. What I am not prepared to do is pander to this inanity where everyone run around proclaiming Tinubu the saviour/damnation of the Yoruba people. that is a redundant model of politics that works if we see others as unthinking zombie totally beholden to one man who enjoys no Government position whatsoever. I would be more comfortable when we start to direct this attention, level of apprehension and dark forecast towards those who actually possess the office to make a difference.
