If you support PDP, you are paid to do so and apparently a thief;
But if you support APC, you are a patriot who is fighting for Nigeria.
If an APC governor award a km of road for N1.2billion, he is prudent and God sent;
If a PDP governor award same km of road for N500million, he is a thief.
If Fani Kayode joins PDP, he is bastard;
If Atiku joins APC, he is a democrat.
If Jonathan spends N7billion for his office par year, he is a criminal;
If Fashola spend same amount in a year, he is a saint.
If Akpabio approves N200Million as pension, he must be stoned;
If Fashola approved N300million for Tinubu he is a change agent.
If you cancelled toll gate as PDP government, you are an enemy of progress;
But if you build a road in Lagos, with tax payers money and toll the road, you are genius.
If you increase school fees as PDP government, you must be crucified;
If you do same as APC government, there must be a reason, cuz Education is not cheap anywhere in the world.
If you share Okada to the poor as PDP, you are poor peoples enemy;
If you ban Okada after election as an APC government, you are only helping the poor to stay alive, so you mean well.
If you single handedly make your daughter a market woman leader in APC state, it is for the progress of the people;
But if your wife is made a permanent secretary in your state by your state government of PDP, you are a greedy fellow.
If you spend N16billion on electricity without power and then support APC, you a navigator;
If you raise N500million through unbundling of same power, you are clueless.
If you fail to pay your workers for a month, but in APC, it is not your fault but someone up there;
But if you failed to pay your worker for a month and still in PDP, you are wicked human being.
If you force your family, in-law and girlfriends as senators and lawmakers on the rest of the party members, you a progressive leader;
But if you act like you don't care in PDP, you are dullard
If you tried to get a third term fraudulently by bribing the legislatures but failed, then support APC, you are democrat and the father of the nation;
If you try to get a constitutional second term in PDP, without their blessings, you an ingrate and silly.
In their time we had Halliburton scandal, ID card scandal, Siemens scandal, we have subsidy scam scandal, we have national stadium contract scandal, we have health budget financial scam, aviation sector scam, we had power sector scandal. How many people did he jail to prove he fought corruption? Rather EFCC was his big stick against his perceived enemies.
In their time we had a sitting governor kidnapped by a thug working for the president. We had a whole region of the country rigged in favor of his party. Morris Ibekwe, a wanted international fraud star won election under PDP.
They are part of those who stole Nigerians blind under PDP; Atiku, Obasanjo, Baraje, Saraki, Wammako, Kwankwaso, Amaechi, Oyinlola, Segun Oni, Okorocha, Ngige, El Rufai, etc, but are today the same people financing APC and calling for "CHANGE".
Flashback to 1999, who were these people? Billionaires ? They where nobody. Today, they spend billions and no one dare to ask a question. If you do you are enemy of progress.
They started with "New PDP" when that didn't fly, they joined a cult group called ACN to become APC. Same character with different name
I am an APC supporter but I can't fault your claim.
The truth is constant. The truth too includes that both parties are 2 dens of robbers, we are only talking about the den that is led by a lion..
Remember: A pride of lions led by a sheep will soon be routed by a herd of sheep led by a lion.

[size=18pt]Afenifere, Ohanaeze back Jonathan’s declaration[/size]
The pan-Yoruba socio-cultural group, Afenifere, and the pan-Igbo socio-cultural group, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, have reacted to President Goodluck Jonathan’s declaration to seek re-election.
The groups told our correspondent that the President was within his rights to seek re-election.
Jonathan was criticised by the opposition, All Progressives Congress, and some Nigerians for going on with the lavish declaration barely 24 hours after a suicide bomber killed over 40 schoolchildren and teachers at the Government Science Secondary School, Potiskum, Yobe State.
The Afenifere, in its reaction said there was nothing wrong with the President’s declaration, saying that the date had been fixed before the Yobe attack.
The spokesperson for the Afenifere, Yinka Odumakin, told our correspondent that postponing the event would have meant succumbing to the wishes of terrorists, which would not be in the interest of the nation.
He said, “Some reactions to the declaration suggest that the bombing was deliberately planned to abort the declaration. The time has come when these merchants of terror who wants to use terror to access power to be told in clear terms that nobody should use terror to make the entire country to submit to their will. It’s unfortunate that the lives were lost.
“For us in Afenifere, we believe that to end the terror, you must allow the country run while you track down the perpetrators of these evil. But to begin to succumb to their threats and their dictates would amount to chickening out as a nation and abandoning our fate in the hands of the terrorists.”
Odumakin added that Jonathan has a right to seek re-election and asked those who are opposed that to show why and how they would do better as President.
Similarly, the Ohanaeze Ndigbo, said Nigerians should challenge the President on the achievements of his administration and not on whether or not he should declare his intention after a bomb attack.
The spokesperson for Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Tony Oganah, told our correspondent that the group had noted that the Boko Haram attacks were often planned to put the PDP and Jonathan in bad light.
He said, “Jonathan’s declaration was okay. It was within his right to do that. We don’t see anything wrong with it. Are they saying that because Boko Haram killed students in the North that Nigeria should grind to a halt? It is the argument of the All Progressives Congress that it should have been postponed. But another point of view is why is it that anytime the PDP plans a major event, a day or two before the event, bomb goes off somewhere. Is this deliberately done to portray the PDP and the President in bad light?
“We sympathise with those who were affected by what happened up North. But because of what happened are you telling me that nobody had breakfast today; nobody went to work today; nobody drove his car today? Tragedies are part of life and the country must go on. INEC has brought out a timetable which the President and the PDP must follow.
“I think it would be more profitable to look at the substance of the President said and find out it is true. For example, Mr. President said when he came in there were only about 5000km of federal roads that were tarred, but today it is 29,000km. Nigeria should check what he said to see if they are true. It would be more profitable to take on Mr. President on specifics rather than the generality. This is the position of Ohanaeze.”
"He gave us open cheque to decide the future of Nigeria.” -adams i thought as much that sometin must be invovled and thank God you said it, but why cant he request for secret cash because cheque may bounce o.
yibomustgo: Gani is talking rubbish. We are not more than 18,000 in number. I am an OPC member and I won't be voting for Jonathan. Most of us won't be voting for Jonathan. Gani is on his own.
You are an unserious element OPC in south west is up to six million, i know you are a liar, u are not an opc member, evry member will vote PDP and jonathan
U hardly see opc members around these days, am a yoruba man and majority of us don't take opc serious because they are full of thugs. How many eligible voters do we even have in southwest and Gani is promising 6m votes,even an imbec1le will not believe this and yet tanoids believe him
AKPOSbaba: NATIONAL Co-ordinator of the Oodua Peoples Congress (OPC), Otunba Gani Adams, yesterday, said that six million members of the group have resolved to vote for President Goodluck Jonathan at the March 28 presidential polls.
He said OPC members took the decision at their National Co-ordinating Council meeting after taking time to assess President Goodluck Jonathan of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Major Gen Muhammadu Buhari (retd) of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
He made the disclosure at his Lagos residence while hosting Special Adviser to President Jonathan on Niger Delta Affairs, Hon Kingsley Kuku, who came to solicit his and OPC’s support for Jonathan’s re-election. Adams said OPC is rooting for Jonathan because of his human rights records in not arresting or detaining any activist since he came to power, convocation of national conference and promise to implement the 633 recommendations that will help to restructure the country, which he said is in the interest of the Yoruba and South-west.
He said: ‘’OPC is a group of six million people. We sat down at our National Co-ordinating Council to decide on who to vote for between President Jonathan and Buhari and the support for Jonathan is unanimous.”
”Now, we have come out to support Jonathan because of the National Conference. We have been clamouring for National Conference since 1992, even our leaders could not organise it. President Olusegun Obasanjo organised the National Political Reforms Conference with a lot of no-go areas. In the end there was a stalemate. ”Now a minority, Jonathan, did it. The only no-go area is the unity of the country. He gave us open cheque to decide the future of Nigeria.”
He who kills by the sword will surely die by the sword. Since we have an incorrigible liar as president, a president that always comes up with lies and blatant lies in his preposterous statistics. A president that foolishly said he has reduced poverty by 50% when we know he actually INCREASED.
Where did the OPC guy get that figure 6million? How man Eligible voters we even get for 9ja? I'm sure the guy is trying to payback GEJ in his coin of LIES!
Omimah: Adams should watch it before he starts losing the support of the Yoruba people.
Does he have any support left for daring to sacrifice his conscience on the altar of dishonesty ?The sleaze is wallowing in fools paradise and basking in the euphoria of joonatan"s graft 6 million votes my foot! O ma see bi film. Idiot!!!
[b]Political activist and National Publicity Secretary of the Yoruba socio-political organisation, Afenifere, Mr. Yinka Odumakin, talks about why he is now an ardent supporter of President Goodluck Jonathan with GBENGA ADENIJI
In 2011, you were the spokesperson for Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd) who was then vying for the presidency. He is now contesting same position on the platform of the All Progressives Congress but you are no longer speaking on his behalf. Why did you shift camp?
There are so many shiftings. Gen Buhari himself has shifted. When I worked with him in 2011, he was the presidential candidate of the Congress for Progressive Change. In 2015, he is now with the APC. APC is not CPC. The characters around him in 2011 are not the same characters around him in 2011. In all honesty, Buhari is an honest man. I have made my feelings known to him that I cannot function in a new environment. I was with him in 2011 within a period of six months. I have been on the public scene for two to three decades in Nigeria. I have my goals and objectives. My being in politics is not for any pecuniary means. It is about issues that I think are fundamental to me, what I represent and the people I represent. [/b] Some think these issues fundamental to you may be driven by whoever is able to pay for your services.
Those who canvass such viewpoint are people of low intellect who cannot understand me. What did Buhari give me in 2011 to support him? I see a lot of childish comments all over the place. Interestingly, many of the people that are saying these things read themselves into others. Those who clearly have taken a position based on pecuniary interests begin to point fingers at other people or what they would do if they take such a position. That is what I see in Nigeria. I see a lot of false moral grounds in this election. The truth of the matter is that I see a lot of funny people all over the place now congregating or taking positions and trying to demonise others as if we do not even know what is going on. For me really, between the APC and the Peoples Democratic Party, there is no difference. The only difference is that we have Jonathan who convoked a national conference, which we had stood upon over the years. We have the report of the confab on the table.
Now, on another side, we have those who campaigned vigorously against that conference; who worked tirelessly against it; and who said nothing about it in their manifesto. And now, they are promising us change. Which change? Change from what to what? Who are the change agents? You take half of PDP and you sprinkle it. The only change that we need before we can move to any other policy change is to change the structure of Nigeria. The current structure of Nigeria cannot work except we change it. People of low intellect insinuate things. They do not react based on convictions. The best thing is for one to pursue one’s goals and history will vindicate who is right and who is wrong.
One of the leaders of Afenifere, Chief Ayo Adebanjo, said the group endorsed President Goodluck Jonathan because it was convinced he would implement the report of the confab. Is this enough to earn the president an endorsement?
It is more than enough. Afenifere has taken a position. The leaders of the Oodua Peoples Congress have taken a position that based on the national conference, they are supporting Jonathan. Let us check history. When Chief MKO Abiola’s mandate was annulled, members of the National Democratic Coalition and Afenifere were in the trenches for years. One of the plans of NADECO, Afenifere and others was to have a national conference. In 1998, after Abiola and Abacha died, the position of NADECO and others was that we should demand a new constitution before conducting elections. But some people said, ‘No, let us go for the elections. Don’t let this opportunity to slip by. When we get there, we will even get more resources to finish the struggle for the restructuring of Nigeria.’ The same people today are the ones who opposed the national conference; they are telling people now that we have passed the stage of restructuring Nigeria because they have restructured the country to their own interest. They have taken what they want from Nigeria because we know what they were worth in 1999 and today they are multibillionaires and trillionaires at the expense of our people. They are now pumping money all over the place for people to write nonsense; maligning people that they have been bought. We are bought by our convictions that Nigeria is not going to work as it is. It is only political merchants who want to short-change our people that are selling a lie to them and calling it change. Which change? You can see the billboards all over Lagos: One meal for pupils in school in one day. Is that a change for us in Yorubaland?
In 1964, in one day, Chief Obafemi Awolowo enrolled 400,000 pupils into schools. The children of those enrolled that day are now professors. Fifty years after, some people now turn us to almajiris, putting billboards all over the place to tell us that one meal a day for our children in school is change. We have a history; we have a place where we are coming from. Strange children have taken over this place and people should know better. The people carrying all kinds of things are the ones who cannot question what is going on. They are the people who have sold their conscience. This is what Awolowo lived for all his life that this structure cannot work. Go and read Awolowo’s ‘Thoughts on Nigerian Constitution.’
Awolowo wrote the book on June 12, 1966. He made it clear in on page 52 of the book that any attempt to run Nigeria on a unitary constitution would make the government unduly complex, unwilling, in disharmony and the administrative machine of governance would collapse under bureaucratic centralism except we get super humans to run the affairs of Nigeria. Is that not where we are today? Somebody is now telling me that at this stage, I should abandon the path of freedom. The APC said in its first manifesto that the 1999 constitution is sacrosanct. When the party got the views of those close to it, its leaders brought another manifesto out which is silent on anything relating to the restructuring of the country.
The only person who has commented on this in the party is Alhaji Lai Mohammed, who said they would study the report. Now, let look at this analogy: I am in a cage and somehow wants to open the cage so that I have my freedom. But someone now says I should stay in the cage but will make sure my children get a meal a day inside it. If the only thing I will get to stay inside the cage is for my children to have a meal a day, I will not stay. Even if the person has a political party willing to make my father its presidential candidate and my mother his running mate, I would go on the path of freedom.
Why didn’t you see the ruling party as the path to freedom in 2011?
I have told you that this is not about political party. What is party? Let no one deceive me with any label. Some of us work on convictions and principles. When we worked for Gen. Buhari and Bakare in 2011, we were largely influential to the manifesto of the Buhari/Bakare campaign. We said we could restructure Nigeria through elections. We have not abandoned our beliefs. That is our conviction. It is online. The twelfth item on the document is on restructuring. There is nothing of such in the APC manifesto.
What makes you think that your convictions are sublime and genuine?
My convictions are my convictions. We have not attacked anybody for believing in the change mantra. Why are they now attacking us for taking a position? We believe our beliefs are right, they also think their positions are right. We should go with our different views since March 28 is just around the corner. Why the blackmail?
Don’t you think the ruling party is also not free from the situation you just painted?
I do not know about that. I am talking about the one I know. I do not trade in abuses. I engage people on salient issues. Now they are talking about corruption. If not that the world is coming to an end, is it some of the people in APC that will be talking about corruption? Individuals who are poster boys of corruption; some have cases before the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission. The way some people are desperate for change, if some notable armed robbers were placed before them and they were told to chant change for such individuals, some would still shout it. For me, it is not about APC or PDP, there is nothing being put forward that is different.
We keep talking about corruption as if it is limited to only the federal level. Which of the states under APC can pass a corruption test? I once took a former governor of Oyo State, Adebayo Alao-Akala to the EFCC because he asked all the local governments in the state to award five kilometers of road at N50m each. I wondered how there would be such uniform road project. When the commission charged him, it was part of what he was charged with. But given what APC is doing in South-West now, if I see Alao-Akala today, I am going to apologise to him. A five kilometre of road awarded for N50m which I frowned at, is now awarded for N1bn. These are the change agents. When the elections dates were shifted within the law, we saw many things flying about. We read several vitriolic editorials on that postponement when things actually showed that the commission was not fully ready to conduct the elections. Local government elections were supposed to have held in Lagos State since October, no one has questioned that. I am certain that anybody who says he wants to fight corruption yet keeps the 1999 Constitution is a fraudster. This is because the constitution encourages corruption by giving immunity. This is part of the things the confab addressed. There are a lot of criminals in government who have enjoyed immunity over the years. They will not want it to be removed. Are we not in a democracy? Is there a law mandating that if A supports B, I must support same?.
What will your group do if the Presidents wins and reneges on his promise to implement the confab report?
When he met with us in Akure, he told us categorically that he would implement the confab report within the 12 months of his return to office. If he reneges, we will mount the barricade.
You don’t think it could be late in the day then?
Nothing is going to be too late in the day. A philosopher said if we fight we can win. If we don’t fight, we have lost. We can hold President Jonathan to the promise but we cannot hold APC to it because its leaders did not participate in it.
You were vocal in condemning the oil subsidy scam. Don’t you think your stance now contradicts what you once stood for?
What is the contradiction there? This is why I said there is little scholarship in the land. That I opposed certain policies of Jonathan does not make me his enemy. If there is any untoward policy, I will still oppose it. Since the protest, the administration has not increased price of fuel.
you will surely know that this pple r illiterate by saying they will vote for Jonathan, is lik police sayn dey will vote for particular part, r dey nt calln dem self security too. Coward
[size=18pt]Another Reasons why Buhari should not be voted for.[/size]
[size=14pt]It took Abacha two months to sideline Diya. How long will it take Buhari to sideline Osinbajo? Gen.Sani Abacha used Gen.Oladipo Diya to gain Yoruba support for his coup in 1993. Two months after, Diya was sidelined in favour of a "born-to-rule" mafia, headed by Alhaji Aminu Saleh and curated by Major Al Mustapha.
After enjoying the support of president Olusegun Obasanjo to become president in 2007, Ahhaji Umoru Musa Yar'Adua stopped picking Obasanjo's calls barely six weeks after getting into office. Also, it took Yar'Adua a mere eight weeks to block Asiwaju Bola Tinubu from gaining acess to Aso Rock after assuming office in 2007.
How long will it take Gen.Muhammadu Buhari to hand over his government to the "PTF Mafia" headed by Tanimu Yakubu if the General succeeds in using Yoruba South-West to win power in 2015?[/size]
yahx: 100,000 of my friends will vote you gej# we endorse u this morning
Lmao! GEJ is doomed! Another liar deceiving Mr. President! How many people even dey ur village wey u dey talk about 100, 000 fiends. Hahahahahahahahahahaha... This guy can lie for Africa
Are you not Akindele Oyewale that was sacked six years ago for working against OPC. Your request for reabsoption is still pending before the disciplinary committee and you have come here again to spit the bullshit.

[quote author=Chanchit post=30991997]Lol! If GEJ get sense, he would know that OPC members in the whole of Nigeria are not more than 6,000.
