10 Very Annoying Statements Made By Our "Leaders" Since 2011 by Nobody: 12:25am On Nov 22, 2014
1. Fmr Governor of Kaduna State and PDP BoT Member, Lawal Kaita(2011)

“The North is determined if it happens, to make Nigeria ‘ungovernable’ for President Jonathan or any other Southerner who finds his way to the seat of power on the platform of the PDP against the principle of the party’s zoning policy.”

2. PDP's Gov Isa Yuguda of Bauchi State on the Slain Youth Corpers of 2011 Post-Election Violence

“They (corps members) were destined to experience what they experienced. Nobody can run away from destiny. When they were serving me, they were the happiest in Nigeria.“Immediately I handed them over to INEC, it was the responsibility of INEC to protect them. They were not the only ones affected. My own house was burnt; they almost lynched my first son. It is part of their destiny. I was also attacked as a corps member in Ibadan in 1979."

3. Then PDP Chairman and Incumbent Ambassador at Large Alhaji Bamanga Tukur on Boko-Haram, 2012

“We can’t even travel again because of the insecurity in the region. Boko Haram is fighting for justice. Boko Haram is another name for justice"

4. President Goodluck Jonathan on Boko-Haram 2013

"They((Boko Haram) are our siblings and you cannot send the army to wipe out your family"

"What many Nigerians refer to as corruption is actually stealing, stealing is not the same thing as corruption" (21st October,2014)

5. Asari Dokubo Inciteful Statement, 2013

“The way things are going, there is no sitting on the fence in the battle before us,” Mr. Asari-Dokubo said. “When some people say they have a right to rule and others don’t have, then there is no sitting on the fence. All of us will have to be in the ring and fight. We cannot leave Goodluck (Jonathan) alone.

6. APC Chairman John Oyegun Callous Statement, August 2014

“the battle line has already been drawn. The APC will no longer accept any stolen mandate. We shall not recognise any government that emerges through rigging in February 2015.”
“The APC will set up a new government, which will be a peoples’ government if the PDP rigs the 2015 Presidential election. We are prepared to monitor the election and if it is eventually rigged, a new government will emerge in this country,”

7. APC's Gov Amaechi Callous Statement, November 2014

"if the 2015 elections are ‘rigged’, APC will not seek redress in court but would rather carry out ‘civil disobedience’ as well as form a parallel government”

8. Minister Abba Moro on the Immigration Recruitment Death Victims, 2014

“The applicants lost their lives due to impatience; they did not follow the laid down procedures spelt out to them before the exercise. Many of them jumped through the fences of affected centres and did not conduct themselves in an orderly manner to make the exercise a smooth one. This caused stampede and made the environment unsecured.”

His Family got this to say on same Issue:

“We are worried that this singular incidence, though unintended appears to be overwhelming the numerous positive achievements our son has recorded in the ministry since his assumption of duty as minister,”(the height of insensitivity)

8. APC Leader Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Ekiti and Osun Poll, April 2014

“We are prepared not to go to court but to drive you out. We will not take it anymore. If you mess up in Ekiti and Osun states, you will see our reactions. For every action, there must be a reaction.”(Though the party went to court in Ekiti)

9. PDP Chieftain and Senate President David Mark, 2014

“There is no question of elections, it is not even on the table. We are in a state of war”
(War between Nigeria and who?)

10. PDP and Edo house of assembly member Friday Ogierhiakhi, 2014

"Yes, I am disobeying a court order. Go and do your worst!"

[size=20pt]2015 will be BLOODY If...- Gen. Mohamodu Buhari[/size]
I have treated this topic several times that he spoke in Hausa and it was an Hausa idiom...
Buhari spoke in Hausa while addressing members of the CPC from Niger State, who paid him a courtesy visit in Kaduna. - See more at: http://www.vanguardngr.com/2012/05/2015-ll-be-bloody-if-buhari/#sthash.7zhbakzA.dpuf

Buhari never promised Blood, Journalists did
DOGS AND BABOON WILL BE SOAKED IN BLOOD{"za a yi kare jini biri jinni"}

WHAT DID HE SAY:
"za a yi kare jini biri jinni" is an Hausa Idiom,
what GMB said was “If what happened in 2011 (alleged rigging) should again happen in 2015, by the grace of God,"za a yi kare jini biri jinni"

WHAT WAS REPORTED?
Buhari Promised Bloodshed IF he lose.
WHAT DID HE ACTUALLY MEAN
In Hausa, when you tell your contender that za a yi kare jini biri jinni, it simply means the battle will be fierce. In the case of Buhari, he was promising his supporters from Niger State that 2015 elections will be fierce politically; or put in another way, the PDP wIll not have it easy. Simple. That shouldn't be interpreted literally.
Eg.
Obj said in 2007 that "The PDP will capture Lagos. The election will be a do-or-die affair"... What he actually mean is similar to what Buhari said, "The election will be fierce and won't be an easy ride for AC in Lagos"

Other examples: "The Chicken has come home to roost"... "It is raining cat and dog"... "Jesus is the Lamb that was slain" It doesn't mean Jesus is an animal that was killed.

Stop Killing Boko Haram Members - Mohamodu Buhari

Buhari said unlike the special treatment given to the Niger Delta militants by the federal government, the Boko Haram members were being killed and their houses demolished by government.


“How did Boko Haram start? We know that their leader, Mohammed Yusuf started his militant and the police couldn’t control them and the army was invited. He was arrested by soldiers and handed over to the police.


“The appropriate thing to do, according to the law, was for the police to carry out investigations and charge him to court for prosecution, but they killed him, his in-law was killed, they went and demolished their houses.


Because of that, his supporters resorted to what they are doing today.

You see in the case of the Niger Delta militants, the late President Umaru Musa Yar’adua sent an aeroplane to bring them, he sat down with them and discussed with them, they were cajoled, and they were given money and granted amnesty.

“They were trained in some skills and were given employment, but the ones in the north were being killed and their houses were being demolished.

They are different issues, what brought this? It is injustice”.

Guy fear God na. He never said that. One thing you should learn is to avoid ascribing words to people. It is unjust, immoral, wicked and evil in the sight of God and man. Quote his words and not a Journalist's
This is Tinubu on Awujale according to your article
“I remember in 1991, 1992 and 1993 during the military junta, when the Yoruba was the target of the then government. They thought they could silence you, they planned to kill you, they planned to remove you through a local government, but they failed. They did it to Sultan of Sokoto and they succeeded.

“You stood by us, you stood by the truth and despite all humiliation, depression and attack, you remained resolute.

“You are not part of the useless Obas in Yorubaland who will sell out, we know them and it is not yet time to mention names. In Yorubaland today, you are the best monarch and that is not contestable. The good Obas’ in Yorubaland, who are forthright, firm and stand by the truth are not up to five, they are just three. Oba Awujale, Oba Akiolu and another. May you live long in good health and abundant God blessing.”

You got the answer on your quote of pointblank media.

The reading and interpretation of Yoruba Language is fully loaded and could only be decipher by the aborigines.

read:
A senior traditional chief in Lagos who does not want his name in print said“ Am sure Oba’s in Yoruba land will officially respond to him. We meet and discuss the issue, we know our worth, our subjects respect us and hold us in high esteem, why should a politician who want to lead the Yoruba nations say the Traditional rulers are useless. With this Tinubu can never be addressed as a Yoruba leader. In fact he does not worth being called a Yoruba man; a son will not insult his culture.”

The high chief said that Tinubu’s generalisation of Yoruba Obas as useless, is self indictment as the APC leader has collected chieftaincy titles from these Obas he labeled as useless. Apart from being the Asiwaju of Lagos, Tinubu is the Agba Akin of Ijeshaland; Aare of Ile-Oluji; Aare Atayese of Ilawe Ekiti, Aare Ago of Egba land amongst others.

Describing Tinubu’s statement as an insult on the entire traditional institution in Yorubaland, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate in Ekiti State, Mr Ayodele Fayose said “only someone without history and integrity will open his mouth to castigate our Obas, who are the custodians of Yoruba culture and tradition.”

Fayose maintained that “traditional rulers in Ekiti State are not useless, and we take serious exception to any individual or group rubbishing our revered Obas. It is either all Obas in Ekiti State are not forthright, firm and honest or there is just one of them that is forthright, since he (Tinubu) had already mentioned two Obas among the three that he believed are forthright in Yoruba land.”
