No wonder fashola has stopped harrasing okada riders. He knows their electoral value that is why he has relaxed the ban on okada riders in lagos.
But, i ithink the okada riders have actually learnt not to be bitten twice and shamed severally. Fashola banned the use of okada in his 1st tenure, he relaxed the ban and even bought them free helmets as a campaign strategy toward his re-election in 2011. After he was re-elected he banned the use of okada again, throwing lots of youth back to the labour market. He has relaxed the ban again, Okadas everywhere in lagos.

Would the okada riders be so docile to stupidity to be susceptible to this easy and tricky deceit of fashola? Time will tell.......

is it the Fashola fire out break and Buhari Boko hare?

Oklander:
It will not work. Otueke is sure for him from may 29, incompetent president, we have never had it bad as this before. Does this guy even think at all, his body language shows someone who doesn't care at all even if this country burns down and collapse due to his 'retardedness'. Smh… Why and How Nigerians fell for his "I had no shoes" campaign and ended up with this guy as our president in the first place is still a mystery and highly regrettable.

sorry sweetheArt it has work already,I tot u ppl get sense

siraj1402:
The man has already feel defeated and sees himself back to Jonathan cabinet,unknowing to him that will never be possible.He talk too much and lies a lot.Never will I believe anything from him unless someone tell me he has never work with Jonathan before. He is part of Jonathan misfortunes. Hope after the general elecrion his political journey might be buried.

what do u mean by misfortunes?

Too bad

jadajada:

acidtalk:
Fellow compatriots the time has come again to decide our future and the future of our generation even yet unborn.

In about a week from now, we will be taking a decision to determine how things will play out in our lives in the next four years and beyond.

Have you decided on who you want to trust in handling the Security, Economy, Youth Development, Healthcare, Education, and General improvement of the affairs of Nigeria and its citizens? If you haven’t now is the time to realize something.

1) We trusted the last 6years into the hands of a man who people felt his “luck” might bring Luck to the land because of the way he has always risen to power but unfortunately, one man’s favour from God isn’t enough to bring about solution to the land.

2) A man who travels abroad for the slightest flu while ignoring the healthcare system of the entire nation

3) A man whose 6years in power could boast of ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.

4) A man whose campaign was based on personal attacks on his opponent about events that too place OVER 30YEARS AGAIN. Whereas can not boast of achieving anything in the last 6years.

5) A man who claims he doesn’t give a DAMN about not declaring his assets and also claims STEALING IS NOT CORRUPTION

6) A man who gallivants with corrupt past and present individuals while ignoring honest and upright individuals in the land.

7) A man who can defend supposed militants in the October 1st Abuja bomb attack only to come several years later to LIE that the same militants he defended years back attempted to kill him just because the militants are not in support of his government.

8 ) A man whose wife controls almost all critical national issues. Fellow Nigerians ask yourself this question and be honest about it; “can Michael Obama debate of political, security, and governance issue in America? But yet we see nothing wrong in Patience Jonathan peddling into national issues.

9) A man whose ONLY achievement in 6years is boasting of some outdated railway construction that 98% of the Nigerian population do not make use of.

10) A man who under his watch Nigeria can’t boast of a National Carrier yet he has 5 presidential jet to his name and has helped all his associated acquire theirs.

11) A country that sells forms to unemployed Nigerians only to DUPE the same JOBLESS youths as neither the government or the agencies have any job for the youths.

12) A country whose Universities were close for over 6 months and polytechnics for over a year.

13) A country whose medical health workers go on strike all year round leading to millions of people’s sudden death.

14) A country whose citizens die in their thousands on a weekly basis without the president saying or doing absolutely nothing yet the same president sends messages to a country who lost JUST 5 citizens.

15) A president who has emptied the countries foreign reserve and yet cooks up report to hide his elicit acts

The list is endless my fellow Nigerians. This is the time to end all religious and ethnic sentiments and vote in an upright man.
A man who has NO TRACE of any corruption activities and whose associates have all performed averagely well as governors in their various states.

LETS BE WISE. OUR FUTURE IS AT STAKE. WE CAN’T AFFORD TO WASTE THE NEXT FOUR YEARS AGAIN.

VOTE OUT JONATHAN EBELE AZIKIWE BECAUSE WE HAVE TESTED HIM AND HE PROVED HE ISN’T A MAN TO GIVE A SECOND CHANCE TO.

u re the one who sees nothing good in Jonathan's goverment So don't preach to us just go And vote who u like anD let us be.

adepiero:
Sincerely speaking, power has increased a bit under GEJ led govt but power is not the only sector needing assistance. the bottom line is that GEJ has no manifesto or guide to good leadership and he has no good track record judging from his days as a deputy governor till date. Buhari might be a dictator but everyone will agree that he has a road map of how the country needs to be in terms of transformation and you'll agree that Nigerians are pigheaded and need a strong hand to guide us right.

And you have forgotten that Buhari has been on that seat before,what were his achievements,can you research and shortlist.Or is he just waking up now ?

charles0922:

you need to relocate from that zone there is forces attached to it for not having electricity because there is big change in the country intern of steady current

Maybe he is living in Aluu community where they killed Innocent boys and dea blood is on vengance mission.

Iamdagreatguy:
They don't need to welcome the person that will take over from GEJ to the race.

he will never win again in this country cos his first time was not close to good,unless free and fair election is not maintained.but if he gives me plenty money I might change my mind

Pataki:
President "I don't give a damn" about asset declaration.

Enjoy the public ridicule and shame you have brought upon Nigerians.

Foolish dunce.

you guys looks for a single oppurtunity to insult the president of this federation, I strongly believe if ur father is on that seat you wunt allow anyone to talk anyhow and go scourt free,pls guys don't be enermies of progress.once in our life time we have a humbly preisdent and you guys don't like it still.he takes ur insult and swallow all abuses still you don't pity him when you open ur mouth, people like you don't progress cos you re not happy for the progress itself,pls stop back bitting and ask God to take you places , That's the only way you can be progressing .take care

mazaje: As the governments of West Africa struggle to contain the spread of the Ebola virus, I am wondering where all the men and women of God who claim they can heal the sick and who conduct faith healing sessions in countries across the region are.

Where are all the continent’s miracle workers now that people desperately need healing; where are the anointed men and women of God now governments urgently need to contain the spread of Ebola? Where are all the pastors and preachers who have built their religious and business empires marketing miracle cure claims to gullible, ignorant desperate folks in cities and villages across Africa over the years? Have their miracle stocks suddenly gone dry? Or don’t they have any miracle package that is compatible with Ebola? What are our faith healers doing now? Can’t they singly or jointly take the spiritual battle against Ebola to affected communities and demonstrate to the world that their God is truly a miracle God?

Where are the T B Joshuas, David Oyedepos, Enoch Adeboyes, Kumuyis of this world and other anointed men and women who claim to be in direct communication with god in matters concerning healing? Why can’t T B Joshua travel down to Sierra Leone or Liberia and cast this ‘demon’ of Ebola into the Ocean once and for all? Why can’t the Nigerian government allow Ebola patients to come to the Synagogue in Lagos so that they can receive their healing from the quaking anointed hands of Prophet T B Joshua or be delivered by the most revered Enoch Adeboye and David Oyedepo?

Where is Archbishop Nicolas Duncan Williams of Action Chapel in Accra? Have his prophetic and faith healing powers suddenly expired? I mean this is the time for ministration. This is the time to spread God’s anointing and use it to counter the spread of Ebola. Where are the faith healers? I ask once again. The government and people Guinea, Sierra Leone need you now, urgently. The people of the world need your help. Do not retreat. Do not make excuses now the ‘Kingdom of God’ is suffering violence due to Ebola disease. This is the time of reckoning. This is the time to hold you to account for the faith healing claims you have made over the years. Yes, this is the defining moment.

A disease that requires you to put your healing powers to test is here. Where are Africans who believe in miracles and in divine healing and who flaunt this belief as a mark of piety and godliness? Belief is not enough. Faith in miracles, like sincerity, is subject to test. This is the testing time. Will you stand up now and be counted? A disease that requires you to put your belief to test is here. Please kindly step forward? Liberia beckons on you. Sierra Leone beckons on you. Guinea awaits you. What is the need entertaining belief in miracles only to suddenly suspend it when an occasion that demands you to put such a belief to the test arises? Ebola beckons on faith healers and miracle believers. This is your chance to convince and convert skeptics.

Where are all the Christian, Muslim, Traditionalist spiritualists who claim they have powers to cure diseases? Where are African diviners who claim to know the mind of God? Is there any faith healer in the foxhole of Ebola in West Africa?

I mean where are the god men and women? What are they doing now? Ebola is here threatening and charging to destroy economies and decimate population of countries. Please come forward and put your healing powers to the test and help countries in West Africa save lives and save money.

This challenge has become necessary if Africa must move forward and if the ongoing deception and exploitation by fake(faith) healers will end. There is no evidence for faith healing at all. Africans spend fortune on faith healing schemes. This challenge has become necessary if African people and their governments must improve the health care system and be able to provide effective responses to outbreak of diseases like the Ebola. Africans need to maximize their limited resources and stop investing and wasting money in useless cure schemes. Africans need to channel their funds into promoting evidence based health care system.

But this may not happen for now due to pervasive faith healing program in the region.

For too long, many people have often declared that they were called by God and given supernatural powers to heal diseases. They set up churches and shrines. Sometimes they operate from their homes. These self-acclaimed emissaries of a miracle working God organize faith clinics and healing sessions and charge exorbitant fees. Many Africans go to these faith doctors for ‘treatment’.

Today we have are several testimonies of people who claim they received their healing from these faith clinicians- pastors, priests, bishops, Alfas, Mallams, marabouts, one local spiritualist or diviner or the other? And these testimonies are often used to support ‘non evidence based medicine’ and discourage evidence based medical thinking and programs. This trend has had negative effects on the public health care system in the region.

The negative impact is such that when there is a serious outbreak of diseases, the peddlers of supernatural cures disappear into the thin air leaving their so-called flock in a lurch without any effective faith healing intervention. Just imagine that ridiculous gesture from T B Joshua to Ebola patients in Sierra Leone. He sent them tons of holy water. Did the holy water stop the spread of Ebola? No.

So when there is an outbreak of epidemic, many people begin to panic. They are confused as to which measures to adopt to prevent the spread of the disease. Sometimes they shun evidence based measures and instructions due to the confusion that has been created in their minds by faith healers and other peddlers of paranormal cures. Today African governments are asking for help from the international community in order to fight the spread of Ebola disease. Are they asking western countries to send them their faith healers or tons of olive oil? No. Are they asking eastern countries to send them Sheikhs, Mullahs or Rabbis, sacred Arabian sand, incense and perfume to combat this deadly virus? No. African countries are appealing for evidence based medical supplies, tested drugs and competent medical personnel, not prayer, incantation or divination.
Meanwhile, after the disease is contained, our faith healers will reemerge on the scene with their faith healing practices. They will begin once again to market their holy water, olive oil, holy handkerchief, and other faith healing wares. They will begin to perform signs and wonders once again.

It will be back to the religious business as usual. While, the government goes back to dogmatic and ‘faithfull’ sleep till another major outbreak of disease.

I mean this is totally unacceptable and must stop. Meanwhile, the medical assistance which African governments are demanding from Eastern and Western countries are programs and facilities which they are capable of putting in place in their different countries if only they could give enough priority to evidence based medical thinking and research, and stop hankering after miracle and faith healing schemes which fail them when diseases like a Ebola strike.

Leo Igwe is a skeptic from Nigeria.

God is a miracle worker and not a magician,thou shall not tempt the Lord your God.even if God will heal but we will first of all quaratine ourselves,is bcus of dis healing stuff that ebola victim left her country to come and die at synagogue.be careful what u say about men of God to avoid incuring the anger of God.and thou shall not judge so as not to be judged.

Firefire:


APC fear God ooooo...

don't mind the fool,he want to use us to get to where he want to be instead of looking for a better strategy as BH own no work out.LoL God pass am

Gbawe:

Indeed. Although it is pertinent to add that Tinubu is not demanding the Arab Spring-type revolution. He is saying Nigerians should simply use their common sense to see and agitate for what matters to them. Yet you are correct even on that count because tribalism will indeed not allow that to happen either.

We all saw how, because of 'tribalism' a straightforward matter of misrule (fuel subsidy scam perpetrated by the FG, NNPC and their minions) is turned into a conspiracy of the "North and SW are trying to bring down a minority President" never mind that said President is the head of the FG which in the first place, as the only other authority alongside the NNPC allowed to issue fuel marketers licence, granted unqualified scammers the authority to operate in the fuel subsidy sector leading to the massive theft against Nigeria in false invoicing and fraudulent practices.

Even Ribadu, through the recommendation of his petroleum task force, asked GEJ to end practises abetting theft against Nigeria in the petroleum sector. It was GEJ, perhaps because he is also part of the problem, who failed to act and not Tinubu and Buhari or the Yoruba/ Hausa/fulani ethnic group. These are the sort of things Tinubu is talking about. He is asking Nigerians to be like others worldwide to embrace common sense, rise above pettiness to see what matters then place blame where due without sentiments or recourse to sectional bias so we can all simply demand leaders do the right thing .

I don't think you understand that man very well,in my own understading he is simply saying that is enough for PDP era. ThAt you shud vote him in cos the APC holds naija destiny.but left for me he was once there and cudnt do anything so they re all the same.naija can only get worst in the hands of the APC.cos they have the worse people as their federal level.

popson1st: Waiting for PDP to blame APC

if you have sense then you will know that the founder of ur APC party is also the fathers of the notorious sect we have been searching for .

Olyboy16:
like you've been reading my mind all along..you hit the nail right on the head mate. Moreover, what keeps baffling me is that the bribe money he's going to pay those 8000 groups, are they gona come from his very own pocket Atleast 5000 out of those 8000 wil claim to have more than 20 men. Meaning atleast #3000 for each man. So 3000 x 20= 60,000 now 60,000 x 5000(and stil counting) a whole over #300,000000 naira! Jst for 5000 groups. So imagine somehow he got 50,000 groups?? Is he goin to deny them payment? there is no way this jona wont land himself into trouble one day if he is nt very careful. APC is a party filled with cunny and smart brains..

even your APC president will still use the money he stole some years ago to give to his own suPporters so quit singing.I am out of here.

Ceasar1: - No one cared to protest against the alarming rate of unemployment.

- No one cared to protest against the devastating act of Boko Haram.

- No one cared to protest for our Missing Billions.

- No one cared to protest against the millions living in complete poverty.

- No one cared to protest for change!

But it all changes when it comes to political bigotry, power and money!

Politics my foot! We Failed Ourselves!

it has been there since you were born and will eevn be there when you will die so if you really care start protesting or who do u want to do it for you?

egift: APC is a breath of fresh air to the corrupt ridden PDP that has spent 15 years in making Nigeria a giant crawling on it stomach. APC is a viable alternative to PDP. Never in this democratic dispensation have we ever had an alternative that defeat the monster called PDP.

By voting in APC and voting out PDP, Nigerians will achieve 4 things in our Political Space:
1. That the Masses are the Boss. While our politicians are the servants.
2. It will mean the APC will not repeat the callous and nonchalant leadership dispositions that PDP have been dishing out for the last 15 years.
3. PDP will have the opportunity to go back to the drawing board to prioritize what is paramount to them (protect criminals or serve the masses).
4. And since PDP know how to steal, they will better police the FG under APC by exposing any imaginable malpractice even before Nigerians can find out.

So any Patriotic Nigerian will see that it is for the best interest of Nigeria to vote out PDP and elect APC come 2015. This nation will triumph again.

that your leaders in APC have they not rule dis country before ? What was their achievements.call good good and good will come to you but call evil good and evil will visit you.

Rikidony:
THATS THE ISSUE HAVE GAT WITH THEM. DAVID MARK SAID DECLARE AND ALL OUT WAR ON THIS SECT AND START A SUSTAINED ATTACK ON THIS SECT. BUT THE MILITARY WILL BOMB AND GO BACK TO SLEEP THIS GUYS WILL NOW REGROUP AND RECATURED THEIR TERRITORY... GEJ SHOULD WAKE UP AM TIRED OF THIS WHOLE SHII.T

GEJ is not sleeping but if he really act the way we want it, then too many innocent souls will die as we already know that this devils are miss with normal humans so he need to tRead with care .

Manty:
U are a dumb fellow, u qoted all d story just to write dis rubbish. How is it GEJs fault, people like u are those d writter was refering to cos u lack common sense

don't mind the fool,they will never for once keep their political interest aside and reason well for once.everything is politics .pls if u don't like dis country go to Togo or cotonue or any of dis neighbouring countries and leave us in peace.my father land go better.

Allohrandy: Nigerian image was destroyed by GEJ and his pdp members. our army which used to be the strongest in Africa are now bunch of lazy girls who run from boko haram due to bad leadership. we need a strong leader in Nigeria

is only a fool that will still apportion blames after reading this,I think ur types re really our problem in this country.if this GEJ is ur father now I don't think you will see anything wrong with his wAy.pls try and work harder in ur life and stop blaming others for ur failure.

Donfamous: 1, becos they'll beg u to eat, u do nothing than to sleep and play. Jealous ma lil nephew

mine will be 1 too so that they still have to carry me about ,feed me,bath me and probably do everything for me and at last I will just die and go to heaven cos I wunt have to bother about sin cos I know it not.

I will rid Nigeria of all the northerners cos Nigeria wud be better of without those ppl,for my mind ooooo.I think every other negative things mentioned are embedded in that thing called North.

MrDoGood: e fit just be rubbish wen dem wan produce again

you people wiLl never seize to amaze me,when has they produce nonsense before?

omenka: Here we go again! Just the way he declared in that 2010 media chat, "if I say I would contest now, people would start feeling one kind"!

I keep trying to imagine how the president intends to campaign when:

1) Our boys and girls have yet to be brought back!!

2) Our peace is yet to be restored!!

3) Ebola is still on the prowl!

4) Not a cent of our stolen $20billion has been found!!

5) Subsidy thieves are yet to return the stolen monies let alone spend a day in jail!!

6) Ribadu report was dumped!!

7) Orunsoye's report was dumped!!

8.) NIS's report was dumped!! Aba Moro has yet to receive even as little as a slap on the wrist!!

9) Unemployment remains alarmingly high as evidenced by the NIS sham!!

10) Oil theft is at its highest level!!

11) He still has time screening a married woman's cleavage in the name of attending the screening of a nollywood movie while his country burns!!

12) The country remains sharply devided along ethic and religious lines owing to his style of polticking


The "I have no shoes" trash definitely wouldn't sell this time, so what exactly does this man intend to campaign with?? Perhaps he's gonna tell us something like: under my admin, our country's GDP was recalculated and it was discovered that it is more than SA's!! IF you vote for me I promise to recalculate it in 2016!!

who will you put there that will bring your girls and boys back immediately.
