Politics / Ondo 2020: Niyi Akintola Predicts Victory For Akeredolu In 15 Out Of 20lgas by OMT18: 11:21pm On Oct 08, 2020 |
Legal luminary and Aare Bamofin of Ibadanland, Chief Niyi Akintola, has predicted victory for his friend, Governor Rotimi Akeredolu, candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Saturday’s election in Ondo State. Akintola, who is a chieftain of the APC in Oyo State, made this disclosure on a Whatsapp platform – Oyo State Politics, less than 72 hours to the election. According to him, “Aketi will win in 15 local government areas of the state. He would also split the votes of Central Senatorial District comprising Akure South and North Local government areas, Ondo LGAs and would win Idanre hands down. Ondo North and South senatorial districts are sure bets for Aketi. “This prediction of mine are based on solid facts and the prevailing political circumstances of the state namely, 1. The unprecedented superlative performances of Governor Akeredolu in the areas of agriculture where the mainstream of the state economic power, apart from crude oil which is cocoa has received unprecedented boost of 8 million seedlings in the last 3 years, the increase of the state IGR from paltry N500m to over N2b per month, the governor’s aggressive fight against corruption and wastage, frugal spending of public funds, capturing of eligible taxpayers into the state revenue net and of course massive drive for other sources 0f income for the state. “2. Massive employment opportunities created for a large number of unemployed youths through the inland revenue services that have employed about 1000 graduates of the Universities and polytechnics, Amotemun security outfits that has seen thousands recruits going through the training drills and many graduating, the revitalization of the moribund chocolate factory, the commencement of exploitation, mining and exploration of Bitumen in the state after several decades of obtainance 0f the mining licences by the state, massive constructions of roads in the state capital, Idanre, Ore, Ondo, Ilaje, Igbotako, Ese Odo, Ikare, Akungba, Owo, etc, and of course the turning of the state into industrial hub in the mode of Lagos and Ogun states. “3. The Political tendencies in the state that has brought about the unwritten zoning arrangements. This unwritten but credible arrangement has seen the central senatorial district candidate in person of Dr Segun Mimiko spending 8 solid years at the government house, with the Southern and Northern senatorial districts candidates spending only 4 years each on each previous outings. “When Aketi wins the next Saturday’s elections God willing, the Ondo north senatorial district would have equal the central senatorial feat. This factor had worked against Tayo Jegede SAN before in 2016 and would certainly work against him this coming Saturday all things being equal. Most political leaders in the southern and northern senatorial districts of Ondo state viewed the Akure born Jegede attempt at governorship ticket as aberration and an attempt to upset the credible arrangement of power sharing in the state. “Tayo and Mimiko are from the same Senatorial District (Central) with mutual mistrust between Akure and Ondo indigenes thus creating a dichotomy of disharmony between the two highly educated, urbanised and cosmopolitan communities. “The two cerebral communities hardly toe the same Political lines. The Southern Senatorial District is eagerly waiting for 2023 when the pendulum would swing in their favour and would not allow not even a battalion of PDP Governors to truncate the existing arrangement, hence everybody that is somebody in that Senatorial District is queuing behind Akeredolu. From Sola Oke SAN to Jimoh Ibrahim, to Kekemeke, to Sola Iji the founding Chairman of the progressive in Ondo state since 1999, you can take their support and total commitment to Aketi to the banks. “Even, the dye in the wool PDP man Kuku, would not trade away his Senatorial District advantage for Political allegiance. They are all rooting for Aketi Victory and this will come on Saturday God willing. In the Northern Senatorial District, Political gladiators such as Professor Borroface, Baba Olanusi, Segun Abraham, Papa Akinyelure etc are not giving anything to chance. They also want a second term for their compatriot Aketi. Remember, this is a state where no town, geographical demography or Senatorial District command any form of majority or advantage. “All the senatorial districts are equal demographically at least to a very large extent.Aketi is certainly on song. You might accuse me of bias in my presentation which is understandable, but I make bold to say that the presentation here is a balance Account of my experiences in the state in the last 15 months garnered from my trouble shootings to the state either on behalf of my party, the APC, or due to my relationships with all the people mentioned herein due to client/solicitor relationships, personal relationships, business relationships, professional relationships or even primordial relationships and campaign tours to the three Senatorial Districts a couple of weeks back. “The campaigns have been issues based, highly cerebral, trust lawyers, devoid of mud slinging, and generally peaceful. Forget the pedestrian wolf crying of Gov Seyi Makinde who has been crying louder than the bereaved, the three Lawyer candidates have been very civilised and urbane in their comments and utterances. I was present at the peace signing ceremony, present at the Palaces of Deji of Akure, Olowo of Owo,our own Obat, The Olugbo Oba Akinruntan not as a spectator but as one of the 5 important APC dignitaries plying the trade of our party in canvassing for votes in the domains of these revered monarchs. “I mean dignitaries that included Gov Akeredolu himself, Governor Ibikunle Amosun, Governor Yahaya Bello, yours truly and Senator Iyiola Omisore to mention but a few. There are other minor factors working in favour of Aketi. These sundry factors include good rapport with the traditional institutions as epitomised by the verdicts of the traditional rulers themselves, the prompt payment of workers salaries and pensions including the 7 months salaries owed by Mimiko’s administration etc. “Ordinarily, payment of salaries and emoluments should not count as achievement in saner clime, but in a country of anything goes such as ours, it is an achievement which a politician would celebrate. predict here and now that all things being equal, Aketi, the “talk and do of Ondo state” would win the Saturday 10th October election by over 60% of the total votes cast by the grace of God. The title ” TALK AND DO” was conferred on Aketi by the traditional ruler of Akure land. Mark my word ,even if you are a doubting Thomas,” he said

Foreign Affairs / Barack Obama Loves The Gay Community More Than He Loves The Black Community by OMT18: 1:12pm On Jun 28, 2020 |
By Reno Omokri First published in my column, # TheAlternative , in Sunday ThisDay of June 28, 2020. I have to be careful with what I am going to say because it borders on the fringe of the Official Secrets Act. Nigeria has had Boko Haram (AKA Jamā'at Ahl as-Sunnah lid-Da'wah wa'l-Jihād) as a largely peaceful and some times reactionary Islamic fundamentalist group. The group was founded in 2002 by Mohammed Yusuf, a charismatic leader, who feared God and was pious. He was not the fiend that he has now been made out to be. Boko Haram did not believe in violence pre-2009. Their main aim was to purify Islam and bring back the days of old when the Kanem Bornu (not Borno) empire was a bastion of Islamic scholarship and brotherhood. It was not until the Nigerian state unwisely murdered Mohammed Yusuf on July 2009, that Boko Haram began to metamorphose into a violent movement under the leadership of the mad man called Abubakar Shekau. Now, between 2009 and 2011, Boko Haram was more of a nuisance, but they did not have the capacity to wage the insurgency they are now waging. However, all of that changed in 2011. For years, Muammar Gaddafi maintained a covert foreign legion of mercenaries from many parts of Africa. People like Charles Taylor (former President of Liberia) and Foday Sankoh (a Sierra Leonean rebel leader), were once part of that force and had received military training in Libya. Gadaffi hired mercenaries from the Northeast of Nigeria, as well as from Chad, Niger, Mali and other Sub Saharan African nations. They were camped in forbidden cities in Libya’s desert and given professional military training. When the Barack Obama administration decided to move against Gaddafi, they did so selfishly. They did not care about the destabilising effect it would have on the rest of Africa. And so, when they stage-managed the overthrow and killing of Gadaffi, Libya became a swamp, and all of a sudden, tens of thousands of trained mercenaries, with sophisticated weapons and lots of money started fleeing Libya. My readers will recall that it was after Gaddafi’s death that Mali, Nigeria, Chad and Niger began experiencing an upsurge in Islamic terrorism. For instance, between July 30, 2009, when Mohammed Yusuf was summarily executed, and December 31, 2010, there were a total of only two major Boko Haram terrorists attacks. The September 7, 2010, Bauchi prison break and the December 31, 2010, Abuja barrack attack. However, beginning in 2011, Boko Haram’s attacks grew in tempo and fury. There were more than 20 incidents of Boko Haram terror including the St. Theresa’s Catholic Church Christmas Day bombing, the multiple coordinated bombings on May 29, 2011, as then President Jonathan was being sworn in, the June 16, Abuja Police Headquarters bombing, the August 26, United Nations building bombing, the November 4 Damaturu attacks and bombings, and the December 22-23 bombings and attacks in Maiduguri. This escalation was a direct result of the Obama administration’s meddling in Libya. Nigeria and other West African nations bore the brunt of the deadly effects of that intervention. Yet, this same Barack Obama, who caused these problems, refused to sell weapons to Nigeria so that we could battle these terrorists. He cited the Leahy law, but that was a ruse. And when Nigeria attempted to buy the weapons we needed from Israel stealthily, Obama warned Israel that he would stop selling arms to Israel, if Israel sold weapons to Nigeria. And so, faced with an insurgency that was so well disciplined, well funded and well inspired, Nigeria had no choice but to hire mercenaries and to buy weapons on the black market. Now, I said that Obama cited the Leahy law as a ruse. Why do I say so? Because I know directly from the horse’s mouth that the real reason Obama would not sell weapons to Nigeria is that then President Jonathan has rejected his subtle pressure to legalise gay marriage and homosexuality in Nigeria. You see, Obama, with an eye to his legacy, had cut a deal with the LGBTQ community in America to support his 2012 re-election, as well as support whoever he wanted to back in 2016, on the condition that Obama would go after any government in the world that was seen to be unfriendly to the LGBTQ community. The summary of these events is that Barack Obama instigated the killing of Gaddafi, and destabilised Libya. When Gaddafi’s mercenaries fled Libya and converged in Nigeria disguised as Boko Haram, Obama refused to sell us arms to fight them, so that he could help get General Buhari elected! Now he is shouting # BlackLivesMattter . If Obama did for Blacks what he did for gays, there won’t be a need for the Black Lives Matter movement. Barack Obama is a HYPOCRITE! Sadly, Black people show that we do not know our history, hence we keep repeating it and blaming history for repeating itself. # BlackLivesMatter activists are pulling down statues of slave traders, yet promoting the Democratic Party, which was the Party of slavery. How does that make sense? And Obama is leading them. This was a man who had eight years to make # BlackLivesMatter , but used the eight years to make Gay Lives Matter. And because we Blacks are so detached from history, we applaud his crocodile tears. Obama is one of the worst things to happen to Black people! Yes. You read me right. It was actually the Republican Party that fought against and defeated slavery in America and that championed and voted for the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Please do not take my word for this. Research it for yourself! When I see Africans championing Barack Obama, I salute the power of the media to make you hate those who are fighting for your rights and love those who are trying to destroy your rights. Let me cite just a simple example. George W Bush paid for HIV drugs for every HIV positive individual in sub-Saharan Africa for the next 25 years through the Presidential Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR). Bill Clinton increased US trade in Africa through AGOA. Cite one thing Obama did for Africa besides trying to force gay marriage on us? Aids he did not give. It is what will bring AIDS he wants to give? When he was President, Obama lit up the White House with the colours of the Gay Rights Movement (LGBQT) on June 27, 2015. If Black Lives Mattered to Obama, why did he not light up the White House with the # BlackLivesMatter colours? Obama meddled openly in Nigeria’s 2015 elections. He did not even hide it. He felt we were inferior human beings and that he had a right to interfere. Yet, the hypocrite was screaming Russia meddling to his beloved CNN when Russia did exactly what he did in Nigeria. Nigeria currently has an inept ignoramus, who cannot govern his own home and his party, as President. Courtesy of Barack Obama’s meddling in the 2015 election, because he wanted to oust a President who he felt, was against his beloved gay community. And now this hypocritical crybaby is crying wee, wee, wee, all the way to the Black Lives Matter movement. Only weak-minded people, with no sense of history, will be deceived by Obama’s posturing. Obama is actually more racist than those he is accusing today. Look at the disdain with which he treated African nations while he was in power. He never talked to our leaders. He spoke at them. Obama is institutionally racist. He believes that he is always the smartest guy in the room and that it is his way or the highway. That is why he destabilised Libya, despite the pleas from African leaders of the contagious effect it would cause. If you put Barack Obama side by side the Muammar Gaddafi that he killed, Africa benefited more from Gaddafi than Obama. Gaddafi supported the ANC against apartheid and was an anti-imperialist. I ask you-what has Obama ever done for Africa? Reno’s Nuggets * Wedding dress * Cake * Wedding ring * Bridesmaids * Groomsmen * Bouquet * Confetti None of the above is necessary for a Christian wedding. They are all European culture. Africans were brainwashed to see White Wedding as Christian wedding. It is NOT! Read Scripture. A Scriptural wedding goes like this: 1. You find a girl 2. You ask her to marry you 3. She says yes 4. You inform your parents 5. You leave your parents house 6. You have a feast you can afford No pastor or priest is involved. It is purely a family affair done at HOME, not CHURCH. Even the wedding Christ attended was at a HOME and He was invited as a GUEST! God made it simple. Man complicated it! # FreeLeahSharibu # RenosNuggets

Religion / Re: Prophet Odumeje: Native Doctor Performs Rituals Against Chukwuemeka Ohanemere by OMT18: 9:52am On May 11, 2020 |
MERCHANDISER:Your argument is specious. I am not in the position to judge anyone...but to be sincere with you, by their fruit you shall know them. Fake prophets can have some attributes of Good ones. But that that doesnt nullify the fact that such prophet is of God we all need to really to study the word of God so as to be approved. It is just disheartning that many people are misled this days. The coming of Christ is imminent. God Bless |
