Politics / Re: Lagos Politics And Religion by oldmama: 1:33pm On Dec 18, 2008
I am not 100% sure about this however i have heard that democratically elected governors in lagos state had been chosen based on the towns and local govts under the state. for example, jakande is from badagry, tinubu from isale eko or wherever, fashola from isale eko, the next guy will probably be from Epe local govt or some other local govt. it is just a way of making this position go round.

Also on the issue of religion, i think majority of lagosians and i don't mean residents of lagos, i mean indigenes of lagos state are muslims .

@Dapo,

Although your answers to the few questions you were asked were a bit corny however i do like your spirit, the fact that you took all the criticisms with stride is commendable. Good luck to you and i hope you are able to achieve your political ambition.

If i were you i will make my marks on issues that people are passionate about for instance education or health issues and look at ways by which you and your "well meaning friends" can make difference rather than feeding the homeless kids for one day or building some centres that few years down the line would be shut due to lack of funds. Embark on project that is likely to get international charity organisation support or fundings. You are lucky becos u have three more years to prove yourself to real people of Oyo State. Do the right thing my child and you will take your family name out of the mud that is being dragged in at the moment.
Family / Re: Go On Hiv Test With Fiancee/fiance B4 Or After Marriage? by oldmama: 8:04pm On Dec 17, 2008
@ CKC
 Fiancee means a woman to whom a man is engaged to be married and vice versa for fiance. The question now is should you be asking to know someone's sexual health or history after there is a level of commitment between you two. Think my child.
Romance / Re: Help My Sisters Boyfriend Is Killing Me by oldmama: 7:48pm On Dec 17, 2008
@ Rubbie,

I commend and praise you for being able to talk about this thing with your sister's boyfriend. Believe it or not, it is not your fault, do not blame yourself as this kind of thing happens all the time. I have had friends confiding in me that their sister or cousin's boyfriends even husbands making passes at them. My advice to you is to forget about the whole charade that happened between you and this guy. STAY AWAY FROM THIS GUY. I am afraid it is going to be a secret to be kept forever by yourself because of the whole breast sucking thing that happened. I would have advised you to tell either your sister or a member of your family if there was no breast sucking issue.
Secondly, although i perfectly understand that emotion can sometimes be very difficult to control however you are going to have to do ur best, pray if you need to, travel to another place for a period of time if it won't affect your work, education or wotever u are doing at the moment so as to get away from this guy but DO NOT BE TEMPTED TO TAKE THINGS FURTHER. IT WILL END IN DISASTER.

Best of luck.

@ crea8tivity or wotever,

I am appalled at the way you are defending this dapo guy, did you see the way some guy threw shoe at Bush during his visit to Iraq? Nigerians do not have opportunity to throw shoes at people that have failed the country but have an opportunity to ask questions about the intentions of an aspiring leader. What then is your palaver , ?

Dapo,

I am not interested in Nigeria politics. However your intention to feed street kids on 18th December seems a little bit iffy. My questions are
1) Where are you going to find kids to feed? Go to beere, molete or oja oba to pick children to feed or what?
2) Assuming u fed those kids, what next? How do you intend to sustain this kind of project? Oooh it is a matter of feed them for a day and send them packing abi?
Listen child, if u are comfortable enough to do this things, why don't u do it without using the "Samaritan" status to establish a political career?
You can give back to the community without using it as a ladder for political career.
