BEYOND THE YAHOO YAHOO ENDORSEMENT OF PRESIDENT JONATHAN
GASKIYA TAFI KOBO (TRUTH IS BETTER THAN CASH)

I heard that the National Working Committee of the people democratic party (PDP) have undemocratically endorsed president Goodluck Jonathan for a second term, but we must note that, this is not what the people of Nigeria wants. It is against our will to continue with luck without hard work.
Despite giving Nigerians pain and agony, exposing our lives to massive poverty and unparalleled insecurity, those who claimed to represent the people in PDP went ahead to endorse the man who is leading Nigeria astray.

Let me state that, this purported endorsement of Mr.Jonathan can only hold in the houses of those who claimed to have made the endorsement, Nigerians would never fall in line to such an inhuman endorsement.
The endorsement was without any consultation with the people they claim to represent,because if they inform the people what they are about to do on their behave, certainly, over 70% of Nigerians would reject such endorsement.
We all remember the 90year old woman, Madam Omiekumo Numo who led a group of angry people in Beyelsa State to protest the untold hardship inflicted upon the citizens of Nigeria by Mr. Jonathan. It doesn’t matter where one lives in today's Nigeria, the failure of Mr. Jonathan is self evident even to people in his immediate community in Bayelsa state.
If the election is to be conducted today, I have no doubt that majority of Nigerians would reject the president without a second thought.
The greatest rejection of Mr.Jonathan would have come from the northern part of the country considering the fact that North is the mostly hit in this act of misdirection.
‘’It is in the north that over 200 girls have been stolen for over 4 months without any trace or hope to bringing them back home’’
‘’It is in Northern part of the country that on a daily basis, people are cruelly murdered by bokoharam with govt watching helplessly since 2011.’’
‘’Unknown gunmen are rampant in the same region killing and maiming everyday without restriction.’’
How can those who are at the receiving end of all these support such a crazy endorsement?
This is apart from the general insecurity of lives and properties in every part of the country.
It is apart from the over 54% youth unemployment in the country.
It is also apart from the dropping of power supply to our various homes and work places with increasing bills on a monthly basis.
While former president Olusegun Obasanjo brought Nigeria out of debt, Mr.Jonathan returned Nigeria to debt.
While Obasanjo’s inaugurated EFCC lifted Nigeria away from second most corrupt nation in the world to about 54, Mr. Jonathan comfortable placed Nigeria right back to the worst.
While Nigeria’s forces who are mostly regarded as best in Africa under previous administration, they have been reduced to a laughing stock under Mr. Jonathan.
Without any doubt, if those who purportedly made the endorsement of the man who is infilcting such a wicked burden on the people made consultation with the governed, certainly, they would never have made such a yahoo yahoo endorsement on behave of the people.
According to (Edetaen Ojo (2004), ‘’how can sovereignty belong to people if they have no control over the people who are elected to represent them? And the only way they can have control is to be able to say at anytime, “If you are acting on my behalf or my interest, let me know what you are doing on my behalf”.
In view of this, how can these leaders who claim to be representing the people endorse the man inflicting pain on the people without the peoples consent? This is a gross violation of the privileges entrusted in their care.
My message to President Jonathan is that,’’ don’t be carried away by the yahoo yahoo endorsement, Nigerians have already rejected you since 2012 when you lied and destroyed many lives as a result of the fuel subsidy whose fund were later said to be missing’’.
As far as Nigerians are concerned, the 2015 election is not a time to contemplate about throwing Mr.Jonathan out or not, it is a time to correct the error of 2011 by replacing him with more capable hands. Nigerians are eagerly waiting for the 2015 poll for one main reason, to vote Mr.Jonathan out disgracefully.
We are aware that the presidents purported endorsement didn’t happen on a plata of gold, it was accompanied by cash in billions, plus other political favors. But how long should we continue to remind our leaders that GASKIYA TAFI KOBO? (TRUTH IS BETTER THAN CASH)
While kobo (cash) may be valuable in a main time, it can not save you from future shame, neither can it buy gaskiya (truth) that you have sold. Those who receive cash would leave the cash for others eventually, but the truth shall always be there for or against you, dead or alive.
If PDP like, let the them continue to endorse Mr.president from January till December, that endorsement will not hold on the day of election.
The Nigerian people would dis endorse him by endorsing the right candidate to lead Nigeria out of this almost failing state.

5 facts about O TO GE slogan and the collapse of Saraki's dynasty

-
Image
Kwara Must Change 1. Alh. LAK Jimoh was the first politician in modern history of Kwara state to use the O TO GE slogan in a campaign. O TO GE simply means, Enough is Enough.  Alhaji Jimoh first used the slogan in 2011 when he was contesting the Kwara Central Senatorial seat under the People's Democratic Party (PDP). Bukola Saraki eventually won the ticket and went ahead to represent Kwara Central at the Senate.  While the slogan wasn't popular at the time, there's no taking away the fact that Alh LAK Jimoh used it first and could be rightly credited to be the originator. 2. 8 years later, the slogan idea was pitched again in 2018 immediately after the All Progressive Congress primary election in Kwara State. After the APC primary election, Islamic singer, Aminat Obirere produced a song titled o to ge as part of a joint album coordinated by Kwara Must Change to promote the candidature of APC governorship candidate, Alh. Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq. The album itself was titled

Fact emerge, President Jonathan falsified his age

-

New facts emerging are putting into dispute the official age given by the President of Nigeria on his public service documents. Accounts from the president himself and others who dare to provide information suggest that contrary to his stated age—being born on November 20, 1957; the president was born several, perhaps 10 years earlier and is over 60 years old. President Jonathan said in 2011 while giving his Christmas Carol address: “I remember the day I was chatting with a group of elders and they said after the war there was electricity everywhere, they travelled out and so on. I came to live in Port Harcourt in 1955. Even then, it was only Port Harcourt that had electricity, even the big cities, Bonny. But now, government must make sure even the smallest village and settlements have electricity light.” See story here--> http://www.cp-africa.com/2011/12/17/why-fuel-subsidy-must-go-now-by-president-goodluck-jonathan/ on CP-Africa .

Lagos before Nigeria By Abdulrazaq O Hamzat

More than 50 years before the creation of Nigeria as a united entity, Lagos is already a major centre of modern civilisation. Lagos history is rich in Yoruba tradition, trade and commerce, infrastructural development and cosmopolitanism." -EXTRACTED In the past few days, i have followed the unhealthy debate between easterners in Lagos and their host and i must say that such is really uncalled for. No tribe or race is an island of knowledge and civilisation. At one time or the other, each one of them contributed in one way or the other. While it is proper for every one to feel good about themselves and try as much as possible to amplify in a good way, their importance and contribution to the society they live in, it is also very crucial to take into account, the reality of other factors without attempting to ridicule the contribution of others. I therefore advise all those joining the discuss to thread with caution and avoid things that are capable of setting our peop

Igbo is not good to be president of Nigeria?

South East has the least number of States in Nigeria, the least number of Senators, the least number of House of Reps members, least number of State House of Assembly members, least number of Ministers at the federal level, least revenue allocation, least federal presence or Investment, least local governments, least wards and the least of everything in Nigeria. Can we conclude that Igbo worry about nothing except their stomach? Can we assume that an Igbo is not good to be president of Nigeria? Can we conclude that top Igbo Politicians lack strategy, tact and vision to think deep in matters of politics? Can we conclude that we are satisfied with the status-quo ante? Is there hope for Ndigbo in Nigeria’s Political equation? Igbo politics worries me to the marrows! For eight years the former Governor of Anambra state, Mr Peter Obi ruled on the platform of APGA and according to him then, it was either APGA or nothing. To celebrate the late Ikemba Nnewi Chief Emeka Ojukwu,
