DR MUIZ BANIRE'S DISARMING SIMPLICITY

  The National Legal Adviser of All Progressives Congress, APC, Dr Muiz Banire is a personality who fascinates me a lot. When I taught his three children at an after-school prep school on Anthony Village, Lagos several years ago,I never knew I was teaching the children of such a cerebral, disarmingly simple, enviable legal icon. In a recent interview with City People magazine, he demonstrates this. According to him, ''cars don't interest me. I am not a car freak. I don't pay attention to the value of clothes people wear. I don't even know why women carry expensive designer bags.''

''I MAY NOT REMARRY'', TOYIN AIMAHKU

   Controversial and sexy Yoruba actress, Toyin Aimakhu has finally cleared the air on the stories flying around her personality lately concerning her alleged lover, Seun Egbegbe. In a chat with NNN,she said she doesn't know where her rumoured plan to marry Seun Egbegbe emanates from. Hear her: ''I have said it times without number that I'm not dating Seun and I've never been beaten to a pulp by any man. Seun is my friend. You can only marry someone you are dating. And I don't think I have time for any relationship now. I don't think I would want to get married again.''
   Toyin's plan to kiss marriage bye bye, I strongly believe is taking it too far. She is too lively and pretty to remain single. Most important, she needs to have children.

ATIKU ABUBAKAR GIVES OUT 3 DAUGHTERS IN MARRIAGE SAME DAY

BASKET MOUTH IN LINDA IKEJI'S BEDROOM; AND SO WHAT?

Our celebrities need to stop boring us up with craps. 2 days ago, the news went viral that ace stand-up comedian, Basketmouth  was in top female blogger, Linda Ikeji's bedroom in her newly-acquired multi-million naira mansion on Banana Island, Lagos. Basketmouth actually uploaded his pix taken in the room on his instagram with the rider: ''don't ask me what I am doing in Linda Ikeji's bedroom.''
    My point is that whose business is it if he goes to Linda's bedroom. He is even fully-clothed, and not in boxer's shorts, which could have been more newsworthy. Abeg,readers need juicy stories and not ordinary incidents.

OSCAR PISTORIUS MAY BE CONVICTED FOR MURDER

   THERE are strong feelers that the disgraced South African paralympian, Oscar Pistorius could be convicted for murder and sent back to prison before the end of this year by the five South African five judges of the Supreme Court of Appeal led by Lex Mpati. Two days ago during the appeal hearing,Oscar's defence lawyer, Barry Roux faced tough questioning from the five judges who put it straight to him to explain how Oscar would not have foreseen the death of whoever is in the toilet by firing four shots into the cubicle. The Supreme Court of Appeal seemed more swayed by the prosecutor, Gerrie Nel's argument that Oscar should have been convicted for murder. Legal experts across the world mostly believe that Oscar's chance of acquittal from murder is slim.
   But then, you never can tell. The world has witnessed greater surprises.

NIGERIANS,NOT YET TIME TO CELEBRATE OUR GOVERNORS.

   The Nigerian state governors have now emerged. While some such as  Governor Ibikunle Amosun of Ogun State are getting reelected for their second term in office, others such as Mallam Nasir El Rufai  of Kaduna State are enjoying their baptism of fire. Many of the governors' supporters are celebrating the emergence of their messiahs.
   OOB's candid advice is that we should not celebrate too early. Let's wait and see what these executive governors have to offer to the electorate first.

OLUSOLA OSO PROPOUNDS THE BUHARISM THEORY

    THE BUHARISM THEORY has been propounded by Olusola Oso[B.A, M.A.], a blogger and writer on  April 4, 2015.The theory was inspired by a painstaking study of the circumstances leading to the emergence of General Muhammadu Buhari as the President-elect of Nigeria, Africa's most populous and most economically-developed country.
   THE BUHARISM THEORY states that winning elections to political posts on the big stage[e.g. Governorship and Presidency] requires four basic principles: i]a great deal of zeal, ii.] robust determination,iii] continuous resurfacing, and iv.] the incumbent and leading opponents loss of popularity with the citizens of the particular state or country they lead or desire to lead. The first two principles are self-explanatory. General Buhari evidently has them in wholesale quantities.However, they are not enough to clinch coveted political positions as many politicians, like many people in other professions, characteristically possess them. The last two principles are so crucial that they can make the contestant to win big elections.
   Continuous resurfacing implies that a politician who desires to emerge victorious in elections to political offices on the big stage must remain undaunted and never be discouraged by electoral loss he might have recorded in the past. He must learn useful political lessons from thoroughbred politicians like Abraham Lincoln and Muhammadu Buhari who made unsuccessful stabs at coveted political offices before emerging victorious.He must keep on contesting, not taking any break.By so doing,he would begin to register in the minds of the electorate whose resistance against his candidature may eventually be broken. They may begin to wax sentimental, and say,''This man contesting again? Well,he most probably has something great to offer.''
    The last  principle of THE BUHARISM THEORY is perhaps the most significant. According to a TIV[a Nigerian tribe] proverb,''the snake or fish that wants to grow bigger must first swallow other snakes or fishes.''  This proverb perfectly captures the political terrain. The competition is ruthless. A state or country can only have one Governor or President or Head of State at a time.For a politician to hold such ultra-competitive posts, he has to 'swallow' other contestants up. This 'swallowing' process only gets simplified if the incumbent Governor or President or Head of State has lost popularity with the electorate due to his actions or inactions. When this happens,the electorate would begin to view the contestant as the messiah who will liberate them from their snowball of problems. This is what perfectly worked for General Buhari. He contested at a time when the outgoing President Goodluck Jonathan's popularity has waned due to growing insecurity, comatose economy, grandscale corruption and massive unemployment in Nigeria. Buhari suddenly turned to a messiah, the proverbial Moses who would lead the over 120 million Nigerians to the promised land.

CONGRATULATIONS TO PRESIDENT BUHARI

   AS rightly predicted and endorsed by OOB, after three failed attempts, General Muhammadu Buhari has been elected as the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria with effect from May 29 when he will be officially sworn in. His surge of popularity in recent months worked for him. President Goodluck Jonathan's inability to curb the Boko Haram insurgency, the pervasive corruption under his administration and the worsening state of economy and youth unemployment were his undoings. As Rousseau said, the will of the masses always prevail eventually.
   What really worked for Buhari is his fabled transparency, indifference to wealth and most importantly, the Nigerian people's great desire for a change of leadership. The PDP-led government has steered the ship of the country for 16 uninterrupted years. Nigerians desire a taste of the meal of a new cook, so that they can be able to do a comparative analysis.
  So much have been said on President Jonathan's magnanimity in defeat. Does he have choice.? In my own opinion,he was only trying to play safe, and prepare for life after Aso Rock.
   Congratulations to the General from OOB. SAI BABA...... SAI BUHARI.

OOB ENDORSES GENERAL BUHARI AS NIGERIA'S PRESIDENT

   On Saturday, March 28, Nigerians in their millions would troop out enmasse to perform their civic and crucial responsibility of casting their votes to elect who will pilot the affairs of Africa's most populous country for the next 4 years. The die is cast between the PDP Presidential candidate, President Goodluck Jonathan and the APC counterpart, General Muhammadu Buhari who has steadfastly demonstrated that he still has an unfinished business in the country's highest position.
  Olusola Oso's Blog[OOB] is using this platform to endorse the candidacy of General Buhari. Nigerians need a change, a new lease of life, having been ruled by President Jonathan for 6 uninterrupted years which have been characterized by parlous state of economy, profligacy, alarming level of corruption and great insecurity which has dispatched thousands to their untimely graves.
  VOTE GENERAL BUHARI, VOTE APC. Nigerians deserve a brand new leadership.

UNILAG RESUMES LECTURES

    One of Nigeria's best Universities,the University of Lagos resumes lectures on Monday, in consonance with the time table released by the school authorities. Characteristically of most Nigerian universities during the first week of resumption, lectures are still skeletal this week, as time table clashes, lecture venues and other key issues are still being sorted out. By next week Monday,lectures would definitely start full blast. Freshers and returning students are seen milling round the school premises, socializing, gisting,trading gossips and generally getting set for the new academic session.
  OOB wishes staff and students of this citadel of learning an eventful academic session.
