Politics / Nnamdi Kanu Preached ‘one Nigeria’ During Jonathan’s Administration by gentlemayor(m): 1:11pm On Sep 12, 2017 |
A few years ago, before Nnamdi Kanu started championing the breakaway of the south-east region, before the clamour for Biafra became his sole agenda, he was an advocate of a united Nigeria. At the time, Goodluck Jonathan was the president of Nigeria and Kanu was based in London, UK. In this video of a protest held by Nigerians in London against the Boko Haram insurgency, Kanu can be seen condemning those who were “determined to tear the country apart”. Kanu had said: “We are protesting about the killing of families by people who are determined to tear the country apart and it is not something we support, it is not something we would like to see continue. “If that continues, it will lead to a violent disintegration of the country, there will be no more Nigeria for anyone to go to. There will be no Nigeria for anyone to refer to. We cannot allow this nonsense to continue so something must be done. “The only thing the terrorists can accomplish is the break up of Nigeria.” Some officials of the Buhari administration have alleged in the past that Kanu’s secession movement started after Jonathan lost the 2015 presidential election. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mlKqSJeHgRo Source: https://www.thecable.ng/video-nnamdi-kanu-preached-one-nigeria-jonathans-administration 1 Like |

Politics / Ekiti 2018: Fayose’s Deputy Emerges PDP Governorship Candidate by gentlemayor(m): 8:10pm On Sep 06, 2017 |
Olusola, an indigene of Ikere Ekiti, which is the second largest town in Ekiti, was adopted before the commencement of a retreat organised for members to sensitise them ahead of the 2018 election. The adoption of the deputy governor, who is a Professor of Building Technology from the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Osun State, was the major decision reached at the party’s stakeholders’ meeting. The communique issued at the end of the meeting read, “After due consultation, without prejudice to the provisions of the Electoral Act 2010 (as amended), we formally endorse His Excellency, Prof. Kolapo Olusola (the current deputy governor), from Ekiti South Senatorial District, as our preferred aspirant/candidate.” Those who signed the communique are Anifowose Mustapha for councillors; Alhaji Amuda Sunmonu for Ward chairmen; Mr. Femi Bamisile for Local Government Party Chairmen; Dapo Olagunju for Association of Local Government Chairmen; Senator Bode Ola for Chairmen of Boards and Parastatals; Dr. Modupe Alade (Secretary to the State Government) for State Executive Council; Speaker Kolawole Oluwawole for EKHA and the State Chairman of the party, Chief Gboyega Oguntuase. Speaking with journalists after the adoption, Oguntuase said the party organs would abide by the decision taken by the stakeholders in the overall interest of the party and the entire people of Ekiti State. He, however, said the adoption would not preclude any member of the party who is interested in the governorship ticket from contesting. He added that open and transparent primary election would be held in accordance with the rules of the party. Chairman of Forum of Ward Chairmen, Alhaji Amuda Sunmonu, also hailed the decision to adopt Olusola, maintaining that “Wherever Governor Fayose goes, we will follow him.” Also speaking on behalf of councillors, Mustapha said all the 177 councillors in the state were solidly behind the governor and that “the decision of the party’s stakeholders remained binding on all of us.” The SSG described the deputy governor as a competent and loyal member of Governor Ayodele Fayose’s political family, adding that his adoption was a reward for loyalty, dedication and commitment.

Crime / How To Report A Soldier For Maltreating A Civilian by gentlemayor(m): 2:55am On Aug 16, 2017 |
The Nigerian army has released a code for citizens to call to lodge complaints against soldiers for maltreating civilians. According to the Director, Civil Military Affairs, Solomon Kumapayi, the army would respond promptly to complaints of human rights abuses by civilians against any of its personnel nationwide. The Chief of Army Staff, Lt Gen Tukur Buratai has directed us to go round army formations to sensitize our troops on human rights activities, and their conduct whether on operations or out of operation.’’ “The COAS has set-up human rights desk at the army headquarters. So, he directed same to be set-up at formation levels at the divisional headquarters. “It is also to be set-up outside divisional headquarters to allow easy access for civilian populace to reach us,” he explained. He said a Call Centre with sort code 183, had been set up to reach out to the human rights desks on any network. “Someone is there to receive your complaints and immediate action will be taken, and the Army Chief is being briefed daily on all calls that come in," he added.

Politics / Not Too Young To Run, Just Too Foolish To Be Taken Seriously! by gentlemayor(m): 9:56am On Aug 09, 2017 |
Not Too Young To Run, Just Too Foolish To Be Taken Seriously! – Viola Okolie I was ecstatic in the wake of the passage of the #NotTooYoungToRun bill by the Senate. Feeling that the house would easily give a two thirds majority assent and Buhari would be able to sit up long enough to nod, I felt like “this was it”. For long, we had consistently yabbed ourselves about the propensity to prefer otimkpu positions for little crumbs that would fall off the table of power. We wailed about how we were not being allowed a shot at administering this country by those who had been kept busy recycling power from one hand to the other. We complained that like old wine in new skins, our brains were about to explode from the strain of containing the excellent ideas we had, and when we got tired of complaining and wailing, we fell back to our age long hobby of blaming the elders for everything we could think of. And finally, finally, we were almost at the threshold of being able to aspire for any office we felt qualified to hold and what happened? ================ I am a big fan of animations, I believe they hold a whole lot more lessons than one can imagine, if you go beyond watching them for the entertainment value. But Despicable Me, I could swear that that was one animation that was just there to have you howling with laughter over the silly antics of Gru and his clueless minions. In a nutshell: Gru is a villain and he achieves his villainy with the help of hundreds of thousands of bumbling yellow, pill shaped minions who communicate mainly in gibberish. We first meet the minions in Despicable Me 1, follow them and Gru around in Despicable Me 2 where some of them are turned into iron gnawing zombie minions and then, there is a Minion Movie that focuses on the minions and tries to show us how they got to be Gru’s sidekicks. They are always in search of a villain to serve and as soon as they find a bigger, badder villain than their current master, they switch loyalties. Gru’s villainy is yet to be matched by any other evil genius, and so, they seem to be stuck on him. Okay so somewhere in the Minion Movie, three minions help the Queen of England recover her crown and in appreciation, she decides to hand out gifts to the three of them. First to Minion Bob, the Queen gives a tiny replica crown for his teddy bear Tim; Minion Kevin is knighted; but Minion Stuart who has always rocked a ukulele and longed for more, was first pranked with a snow globe gift, then gifted a real life electric guitar. Suddenly, he had in his hands all he had ever longed for and what did he do with it? He starts out playing well and then gets carried away by the spirit of rock and roll, and after a brief head banging session, he smashes the guitar repeatedly against the floor, totally destroying it. Left with a now useless piece of scrap, Stuart walks up to the Queen and snatches out the initial snow globe he had rejected from her and walks off the stage, muttering. ================ Not too young to run. Almost as soon as the Senate passes the bill, Nigerian “yoot” decide to prove to them that yes, while they were not too young to run, they were simply too foolish to be entrusted with the responsibility of administering the lives and future of a country as deeply mired in so many conundrums, as Nigeria. First it was Terry Gee, whose campaign posters declare that he would be contesting for both governor and deputy governor, all at the same time and ends with threatening “everything will be fair and legalized but if I don’t win, there will be problem”; then it was Vic O, the non musician, he of the “After Parry” non-fame who wants to be governor of Cross River State. Just like his music career which failed to launch in spite of his threat to drop a “diss tape for don jazzy if he doesn’t collabo with him,” his career is just not interested in rising above ground level. His political career seems to also have been dead on arrival. Especially since he declares in his own words, “I’m wanna rule for free. & to save the State.” Poor Cross River State. One is almost tempted to ask, “who grammar epp? Make we kuku give this onye isi nkuka the state to “konteeliu” from where others stopped ruining it” but for the fact that Onyeisinkuka himself also wants to contest for something. In my very own beloved Anambra State, Waga G Ekezie alias Onyeisinkuka wants to contest for Governor. His promise to the hardworking and illustrious people of Anambra State? “Oringo continues after al.” See ehn, it is not funny at all, I sincerely hope that you are not laughing there… Now to crown all of this, one Nigerian human sometimes known as Eddie Bongoz, decided to throw his shirt into the ring (literally), and run for President. He was not going to play in the little leagues with all those ndị isi nkuka ị had mentioned earlier. Mba nụ. He was a larger boy and wanted to play in the big leagues. President or nothing. And so, after a hearty meal of two wraps of kwale’s finest weed plus one jumbo wrap of oshogbo special, this pally decided to tow the line of that Aunty from Europe that wanted to run for President and make a video. You see where I started by saying he threw his shirt in the ring? Well, it wasn’t just his shirt. First the shirt, then his jeans and then his dross… This Bros, while waving a Nigerian flag, stripped himself nude. Live. WHILE EXPRESSING HIS INTEREST TO BE PRESIDENT OF YOUR COUNTRY. YES. YOUR COUNTRY. Ndị not too young to run. Tụfịakwa unu. And as if that was not bad enough, his fellow yoot watching that total display of madness, were more concerned about the size of his pingolo, than the fact that a youth who wanted to be President of Nigeria – perhaps taking up the one quota allocated to the youth – acted like he needed a looooooooooong stint at the nearest hard drugs rehabilitation centre. Not that this little piece of trivia will advance the useless plot any further, but in order to buttress his point, Eddie Bongoz smashed an egg on live video. *scratching my dada* See ehn, the elders you all have been struggling to overthrow would be sitting somewhere laughing at you all and waiting for you to self destruct so they can tear up the bill and do ajuwaya; since like Stuart the Minion with his guitar, you are destroying everything you have yearned and worked hard for, all by yourself. Not too young to run? Would YOU reading this, entrust your baffroom slippers to these characters? Would you trust them to hold your used toothpick while you go on an errand and come back? Would you feel comfortable if you saw them hanging around the spit you spat on the ground? Tụfịakwa unu ncha. I have never been happier with the universally accepted definition of youth and that I am well out of the age band, than I was watching these characters. Where have they all been hiding? Why now? Why are they all crawling out of the woodwork now? But for the fact that I am not such a big fan of conspiracy theories, I would have insisted the elders set these ones up to it to prevent any sane human being passing the bill into law. Tụfịakwa unu biko. This is beyond bizarre to say the least. Dear Nigerian “Yoot”, you may not be too young to run, but with the crop of people jumping out to lend credence to the timeliness of that bill, you may just be allowing these ones give off the impression that you are just too foolish to be taken seriously!

Politics / Naijabet Opens Betting On Buhari's Return by gentlemayor(m): 9:56pm On Aug 03, 2017 |
A popular sports gaming site, NaijaBet.com, is asking those interested to stake their money on when Buhari who left Nigeria on May 7 on his latest medical trip to the British capital, would return. Nigeria’s ailing President Muhammadu Buhari who has been away in London for almost three months has become the subject of a sports betting game in his homeland. A popular sports gaming site, NaijaBet.com, is asking those interested to stake their money on when Buhari who left Nigeria on May 7 on his latest medical trip to the British capital, would return. The company usually focuses on English Premiership, Champions League and other sporting events, but recently launched the ‘Buhari to Return’ game: ////YOU CAN BET ON IF HE WILL RETURN ON THE 2ND WEEK OF AUGUST OR THE 4TH/// The 74-year-old Buhari first sought treatment in London in June last year for what presidency officials said was a persistent inner ear infection, returning in six months for check-ups that were later said to be “a long period of treatment”. Buhari himself admitted on his return to Abuja in March that he had not been that ill before. Despite Vice President Yemi Osinbajo’s acting on his behalf, Buhari’s protracted absence has sparked intense public debate in Nigeria. Last month, both members of the ruling party and the opposition went to see him in London and even took pictures with him in London to douse public anxiety. The health of Nigerian leaders has often been a contentious issue. Buhari, a former military ruler in the 1980s, was dogged by speculation about his health even before the election win in 2015 that brought him to power. During that campaign, the then-ruling party claimed he was seriously ill with prostate cancer and even put out advertisements insinuating he would die in office. He rejected the claims as unfounded. In 2010, Nigeria was plunged into months of political turmoil after President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua died in office following months of treatment in Saudi Arabia.

Remember how many innocent souls that were lost the last time you people tried this. I have never seen anywhere where violence resolved an issue and I see no difference between this Kanu and Shekau whose human life means nothing to them. Pardon my choice of word, I am only bothered about the lives of innocent souls about to be wasted just because of one man's selfish determination. Assuming the biafra is given to you guys, what makes you think there won't be another fight for who leads who.
