Earlier yesterday, I learnt that former Lagos State governor, Akinwunmi Ambode have been finally denied the Lagos East Senatorial seat ticket of APC, the party he so cowardly stuck to to avaod being "dealt with". Unfortunately, that is the fate of a coward. No woman should respect a coward, if you are married to one, please threaten him to change because he cannot protect you.

Seeing how Obaseki is handling the godfather issue in Edo and fighting like a man, I can only conclude that Ambode chickening out was a very wrong move. Bullies succeed because their victims chicken out easily. Most bullies are cowards, that is what we are seeing in Edo today. Win or lose ... remain a fighter. History will always be on the side of the brave. Look what becomes of a former executive Governor of Lagos because he was too scared to fight back. If some of us had the powers of an executive governor and Lagos State for that matter, who was in charge of average of N60Billion monthly IGR, even the FG will not be able to defeat me. I would have bought out 20 of the 24 or so LASG HOA, buy out the judiciary, and rendered my opponents incapacitated. Yes, with good money, you can buy ANYONE in Nigeria's political space. Everyone has his price and the executive governor had the money, power and all that was missing was COURAGE. Unfortunately, cowards like Ambode even if given the power of a president would still chicken out. Sad!

To fully understand who cowards really are, lets us check what the great ones said about cowards and the concept of cowardice as well legacies of cowards:

Few Things for our Youth to Learn

1. Face your challenges, do not run from them. If you do, your bullies will be empowered but if you face them, you would be surprise as they fade away. Hear this:
“If you run from enemy fire, it will make you wash dishes for the rest of your life!” ― Naoki Urasawa, 20th Century Boys, 19

“That was the thing to remember about all monsters, They love to frighten people, but the minute you stare them down, they turn tail and run.”
― Jeanette Walls
“A man that flies from his fear may find that he has only taken a short cut to meet it.” ― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Children of Húrin

2. Cowards cannot claim to love, they are selfish and cannot fight for their beliefs which oftentimes are the right things to do. As said by these men and women of honour:
“A coward is incapable of exhibiting love; it is the prerogative of the brave.” ― Mahatma Gandhi

"Cowardice is a trait wherein excessive fear prevents an individual from taking a risk or facing danger. It is the opposite of courage. As a label, "cowardice" indicates a failure of character in the face of a challenge. One who succumbs to cowardice is known as a coward. ... and that the bulwark of his historical evidence" – S.L.A. Marshall's

“Our doubts are traitors, and make us lose the good we oft might win, by fearing to attempt.” ― William Shakespeare, Measure for Measure

3. Cowards seek easy way out and comprise by making peace with treacherous opponent even when in position to face such threats
“Tolerance of intolerance is cowardice.” ― Ayaan Hirsi Ali

4. Cowards look the other way, thinking afterall, the treath is not targetted at me or mine. Soon, they realise they were wrong:
“In Germany they came first for the Communists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant.

Then they came for me, and by that time no one was left to speak up for me.” ― Martin Niemöller

5. Cowards always end up finding themselves hounded by their worst fear - capture and disgrace

“There are five dangerous faults which may affect a general:
(1) Recklessness, which leads to destruction;
(2) cowardice, which leads to capture;
(3) a hasty temper, which can be provoked by insults;
(4) a delicacy of honor which is sensitive to shame;
(5) over-solicitude for his men, which exposes him to worry and trouble.”
― Sun Tzu, The Art of War

“Fear of ridicule begets the worst cowardice.” ― André Gide

“Cowardice rightly understood begins with selfishness and ends with shame.” ― José Rizal, Noli Me Tángere [Touch Me Not]

6. Cowards look for excuse and oftentimes place the blame on others or something instead of accepting responsibilities:
“I do not wish to be a coward like the father of mankind and throw the blame upon a woman.” ― Ouida, Wanda, Countess von Szalras.

7. Cowards die in regrets and you can guess even Heaven will have no respect for such
“But often life asks much of you, and you either honor life by answering with all your heart, or you cower your way into your grave.” ― James Clemens, Hinterland

8. God does not respect the coward, rather God encourages the brave and courageus. So, God is always with the brave, not the cowards
"Be strong and of good courage, do not fear nor be afraid of them; for the LORD your God, He is the One who goes with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you. - Deut 31:6

“One must pray first, but afterward one must help oneself. God does not care for cowards. - --"Wanda” ― Ouida

9. Leadership should be the exclusive preserve of the brave. The cowards are amongst the masses
“That gutless pack of hyenas called the masses.” ― Marty Rubin

10. All progress the world has made is a function of bravery. Bravery informed a man flying an object that could end his life and change human traveling, bravery made men to push beyond the ordinary, etc
“All progress begins with the brave, not the spineless coward.” ― Abhijit Naskar, Revolution Indomable

Are Nigerians brave or cowards? Hear the answer from a Nigerian
“Brave men outshine cowards, but cowards sometimes outlive them. Many cowards have had the honour to read the funeral orations of many brave men.” ― Nkwachukwu Ogbuagu

"We no wan die, we no wan quench, so police can wipe your ass and you will stand like zombie - Fela Anikulapo Kuti"

We care more about living even if we are merely existing. That is the Nigerian masses - COWARDS!

We hardly train bastards/Ingrates in Yoruba land...

In life, you win some, lose some and life goes on..

Edo can never be Lagos......

Lots of maturity amongst our politicians

We could see where bravery led people from upper Iweka bridge to.. That was why they wasted millions of innocent people, when they could have avoided the civil war by all means..

We have seen where bravery led , Usain Bolt Master, Lamidi Kanu , to by sacrificing his innocent members for his selfish gains when the Python visited.

Ojukwu fled to Ivory Coast
Kanu fled to Ghana

Brave master, we are really learning from your bravery.

@validated, You wake up early ds morning to write ds thrash.

We know those who can't be trusted with power in this country, that's why they are kept at arms length whenever it matters most!

Ambode contested in APC primaries and was roundly beaten, just like gej was trounced in d 2015 pres. election and they both chose d path of honor!

Even without asking, I know d region u come from- DT part that can't be trusted to honor agreements, d part that's known for treachery and backing traitors!

I kukuma no mention any name, but u know urselves.

Op. You never take Oath before. Dem never put frog inside your belle to command perpetual loyalty. You for understand Ambode's plight.

Cowards are good at defecting on issues. They lack grace and honour. They are only concerned about themselves with self-interest - existence rather than living
“Cowardice has no grace, but it definitely has the disgrace of timorousness” ― Munia Khan, Attainable
“It is not conscience, but self-interest, that makes cowards of us all.” ― Marty Rubin

Cowards lack intelligence and sef worth, rather want to compare themselves with the lows of medicrity
“Intelligence is suffocated by things such as cowardice and diffidence.” ― Mokokoma Mokhonoana, You my friend meet these characteristics.

Before you shout ipob, go read all my posts. I am Deltan.

Fighting a lost course or battle you knew you can not win is not bravery, it is call stupidity and foolishness. Knowing when to attack and when to stay put in a battle field is call professionalism and experience.

In the battle field, if you are in safe place and you sighted your enemies with stronger men and weapons that are more sophisticated than yours, will you say that because you are a brave and courageous soldier, you will move out of your safety and fight your enemies without calling for a "more stronger" and sophisticated backup?

Jonathan and Ambode are wise, history will always be kind to them. Check out Obasanjo and Atiku and tell me what history have about them.

On giving Ambode tickets, it shows that Lagos APC are wise, you don't give political position to people that cannot be trusted because they can use the political power against you, just like Saraki, Obaseki, etc. So, it will be unwise and political suicide to allow non-loyal and untrusted party members to hold political powers.

And we have seen where cowardice has led
General Oladipo Diya who genuflected before a major so that he woulld be allowed live. He is now more or less a living DEAD.
We are also seeing where cowardice is leading Mr. BAT; to obvious shame, forced SILENCE and opprobrium. Only the DEAD is always silent.

Can you now see the point the OP is making?
There is a vertical relationship between COWARDICE and DEATH. Only the brave is allowed by nature to LIVE.

And we've also seen where ojuku's 'bravery' has led u lots with d needless sacrificing of over one million of igbos only to abscond to ivory coast dressed as a pregnant woman!

I wonder why he didn't choose d 'vertical path of death' but instead chose'cowardice'.

What of Ojucrook?

OkuFaba:
History has no place for cowards

Certainly not in Nigeria, bro.

You guys have a very myopic view of the term "coward"

A coward is not only when an Ambode is stopped from contesting an election by the godfather.

A coward is also when an Ambode is held on the hand by a godfather and singlehandedly makes him a governor.

If you claim you are not a coward why not fight for yourself to be a governor? Why not use your own power and influence and make yourself a governor?


Look at Obaseki.
He is a big coward because Oshiomole carried him on his head and made him governor.
Obaseki did not even know how he became governor.
He just found himself being sworn in.

That is a coward.

Op, go and ask Ojukwu the Ogapatapata of cowards that question, I mean the one that ran off to Ivory Coast (dressed as a woman) after leading his people into a war he knew they lacked the capacity to win.

Or you can also ask Nnmadi Kanu who ran off to the UK (also dressed as a woman), and initially pretending to be dead after leading many igbo youth to their grave and others languishing in jail, while he jumped bail.

Ambode isn't a coward, he fought/contested and he lost.
Edo can never be Lagos in million years, Edo won't even come close.
If una like, make una turn Edo to war zone na una problem b dat

He wasn't even stopped as no one had d power to do such, absolutely no one, not even d president! Ambode contested and was roundly beaten just as gej too also contested and lost, so I wonder what angle d boy is coming from!

Exactly!
That is their own perfect definition of bravery, and they will still open their mouth to wonder why Nigerians wont/don't trust them with power?

Odi denjelus I tell u!

OP is myopic and conflating things to satisfy his utter ignorance. Before he targets Ambode, he should first discuss with us what they call that thing ojukwu did. Wasting millions of his people's lives only to abscond to Ivory Coast. Please what's such action called!?

Even if Obaseki loose this election he have tried, he is a man unlike Ambode with a very typical Yoruba flacid penis. E_rats
