APC Governorship Candidate, Akeredolu 'Soars High' Amidst Party Crisis

Rotimi Akeredolu
 
As the All Progressives Congress swept Edo State following a stunning victory by Godwin Obaseki, the attention of the ruling party turns next to Ondo State where a former President of the Nigerian Bar Association, Rotimi Akeredolu popularly known as Aketi will be flying the flag of the party with a reformed slogan tagged 'Total Change'.
 
Akeredolu's emergence at the highly contested APC primary election in Ondo on the 3rd of September where he victoriously outlasted 23 other candidates attracted skirmishes he seems to be shaking off like a prepared warrior.
 
Akeredolu was shocked by a teeming crowd of supporters at his recent public appearance in Akure despite the short notice of his movement. Hundreds of Ondo indigenes abandoned their daily productive engagements to focus on who seems like the messiah to them after an unconvincing rulership of Governor Olusegun Mimiko that has lasted for 8 years.
 
Some religious-heads have likened Akeredolu's appearance to the triumphant entry of 'Jesus Christ' in Jerusalem where he was hailed as the messiah. Akeredolu has reiterated his strong desire to diversify the local economy of Ondo which has been detrimentally depending on oil rents from the federal government coupled with the antics of political corruption.
 
As the political climate in Ondo appears to 'meteriologists' this could be the next Governor of the state following the abysmal unpopularity of his closest rival, Eyitayo Jegede of the People's Democratic Party.
 
Only time can tell as time is the greatest revealer.

Burning Health Issues by Abu Ramlah ibn Adam

Image
In one of our training sessions,my mentor collected a Nokia torch  hand set with fully charged battery. He brought a fresh egg. Then he puts the egg and the handset together and place them into a polythene bag. He tied the bag and told us to call the phone number..... Calling....calling.. ..busy.. busy.   When the battery is drained down,  he gave the phone to the owner and cracked the egg.   Behold the egg was cooked!!.. done!!!. We were surprised and asked for the explanation. He told us that every handset emits electromagnetic rays. That it was the rays that was responsible for cooking of that egg.  He also said that for  device to  be named " hand set " by international bodies is not by accident.   He said that it is never a pocket set. He went on to say that males (men) have egg resemblance in between their legs...scrotum. He admonished men to stop putting their hand set in their pockets,  but to hold on hand. If you continue t...

Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho on BBC Sport By Okan United

Image
Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho on BBC Sport: “It is not the result we wanted but it is a positive result, it is a result that stops a direct opponent getting three points at home so not a bad result. “The game was difficult for both teams but for longer periods it was more difficult for them than us. “We controlled the game not just tactically but the emotion of the game, that was probably the quietest Anfield I had and I was expecting it to be the other way. “I think was a positive performance. “If you analyse the game see the reason why did it, playing Young and Fellaini. We had control of the game – there were two amazing saves by David de Gea it’s true but they were out of context. “The reaction from their crowd was permanent disappointment. People expected us to come here and be really in trouble, which we were not. “The team was always comfortable, we lacked a little bit of sharpness in more attacking positions. There was a moment I thought abo...

Louis Van Gaal Ignores Rio Ferdinand and Paul Scholes Manchester United criticism

Image
Louis van Gaal brushed aside scathing criticism from the former Manchester United players Rio Ferdinand and Paul Scholes after the 2-0 Europa League defeat to Liverpool.   Only the heroics of David de Gea prevented a landslide at Anfield, although he was beaten by a first-half Daniel Sturridge penalty and a late close-range strike from Roberto Firmino. “It was shambolic ... so bad,” Scholes told BT Sport. “ Tonight was a disaster. Liverpool had a way of playing. United? I didn’t have a clue what they were trying to do. “United have spent £250m [under Van Gaal] ... they are sixth in the Premier League and have ended up in the Europa League,” added Scholes. “They should be competing with Barcelona, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich [in the Champions League]. United didn’t need a new philosophy, they had one for 20-odd years that worked,” he added in reference to the 38 major trophies won under Sir Alex Ferguson before he retired in 2013. Ferdinand was equally sc...

They revealed that in the cases of judges arrested over the weekend by the Department of State Security they had written to the Chief Justice of Nigeria,  Justice Mahmud Mohammed a month earlier regarding the criminal conduct of some of the judges but the CJN who is the presiding chairman at the NJC refused to let the judges be interrogated.   They said before the invitation by the DSS; the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission had also tried to interrogate judges with whom they found substantial sums of bribe money but the NJC had insisted that the sanctions by the body were sufficient. In most cases, corrupt judges are given compulsory retirement and ...
