That Silva guy is a greedy MOFO. He should have allowed Lyons to run, the guy won the last election but lost due to some technical errors.
Democracy is good now since APC lost?

It's not strictly Silva's fault. It's the APC hierarchy that should have cut him to size and make sure he doesn't emerge in the primary. Useless man, just as if he intentionally blew APC chances. I feel quite sorry for Lyon.

Lagos debts is the entire 10yr annual budget of Turkey. Do d maths

Most of you obidients are senseless and ill-educated. Do you think this forum is made up of your mob only who can't do simple fact check and critical reasoning but feed off anything that drops off Hundeyin's anus? Even if you never had any basic Economics lessons before, you should know what you just wrote can never happen in a million years.

Lagos debts both external and domestic stands at just above $2bn ($1.2 bn for external debts and 994bn Naira for domestic debts) as at Q2 2023 while Turkey's budget for 2022 alone stands at $239bn. Can you see how foolish you sound now? I've added links so you don't need to argue, but read and educate yourself properly.

people should mature abeg. Get civilized. All igbos are indigenes of the SE.

Igbos should not overlook the prospects of external sabotage, Asari hand, hateful tribalist hand, or northern islamics plot against the east. Enemies everywhere, no dull.


Let us love ourselves in peace. Umu chineke.

As usual, you people never take responsibility for your actions and inactions. Always living in denial. It's always another tribe that's responsible for your woes. I'm surprised Yoruba name wasn't mentioned in this your list.

But I thought our Igbo brothers said Peter Obi made Anambra heaven, which is why they said they voted him out of competence as he's the only one with solutions to Nigeria problems and want him as the messiah to come and rescue us from Buhari El Sudani and Amoda Tinubu. I don't understand why this kind of news will come out of such an heaven. Lies have expiry date and can be easily debunked with news like this. Instead of them to simply say they're supporting someone because he's their kinsman which isn't wrong, they were deceiving themselves that they are voting for competence and insulting the Yorubas that aligned with Tinubu. Competence without any meaningful track record and legacy.

superCleanworks:


So Peter Obi can not be part of Nation Building without being president?
Is Sanwo Olu president?
Is Ben Ayade president?
Is Zulum president?
Is Otedola president?


Oga go and sleep

The way some of those idiots talk about Peter Obi like he is some superhuman that will magically make Nigeria heaven overnight baffles me. For God's sake, this guy was very average as governor for 8 years in a period of oil boom. I suppose he made Anambra an Eldorado that other Nigerians are running to now. He couldn't even put in a place an effective fire service in the state, that they had to go to Asaba to get help. I really don't understand the hype.

Ikaeniyan0:
IPOBdients will be angry, jealous and heartbroken because of this great news.

Honestly. It stills baffles me how a group of people from a part of the country will be angry at any positive news coming out of Lagos and the South West. The ironic thing is majority of this people and their kits and kins troop to the same Lagos daily and are welcomed with open hands, and make their living there without being threatened and killed like in their homeland. Yet they can't stop hating the indigenous people. This is more than witchcraft.

Papilagreen:
Okay papi here let me turn the tide now for a bit.
So form my own side let me first of all day I live in America and not Canada. But lately, people have been flooding in from Canada and all part of the world into America.

Infact the Americans now are now scared the rate at which they pull in.
They now call these people sleepers.

Now here is my point. See most people will hear the amount they will be paying you in dollars and you will receive a new job offer and you will be happy not doing proper research.

See I got a job of $85,000 per year last month and I turned it down.
Now here are my reasons for turning it down.
At first I was happy when I got the job offer but when I did my research I found this.

1, the cheapest house rent I could afford was 2,890 per month including light water and Internet. Now if I pay that I only have $56 left from my monthly salary . Now that is the cheapest house. And the worst part is that the house is 30mins drive from my place of work. The houses closeby i.e 50 to 10mins drive away from my work they don't rent it's either air B&B or you buy morguage and it's on the high side. I haven't even talked feeding, gas,phone bill etc. My present job pays me less $45,000 monthly I live in a 2 bedroom apartment and I am okay and I get to save more I live in a small town but very okay. So in summary, America the more u make the more u pay on expenses and we never talk TAXES yet lol.
It's good to be physically mentally and emotionally ready to make it in America.

Seeing the bolded here, it's either you're lying or you got your figures wrong. $85,000 a year you claimed you were offered translates to more than $7,000 per month. Let's even assume this is before tax. It can't be less than $4,000 per month after tax. So how then would you have $56 left in a month after paying monthly rent of $2,890? This makes no mathematical sense to me.

Nonny95:


This obsession with Obi is now turning you to a psychopath.

The news is Wike, Rivers and PDP Governors.

Stick to it Rice Bandit

That's because you guys are hypocrites. You condemn something done by people you perceive as enemies but look the other way when it's done by your faves. Your Obi brought in Obiano to succeed him just like Wike did with Fubara but it's that of Wike that's a structure of criminality while Obi's own isn't even though it was Obiano that had standing issues with EFCC over financial misappropriation. At least we haven't heard of any EFCC case involving Wike or Fubara. Hypocritical fellows.

kmaster007:
They are friends if you don't no

Maybe before but definitely not now again. A friend wouldn't go that far to bring you down, with what Atiku did to Tinubu on the CSU and FBI saga. Tinubu is supposed to use state power to mess him up badly now.

Abagworo:
He is right in a way but Ondo is a coastal State. NDDC has failed and will continue to fail not because of the addition of the 3 States but because it is not community based but rather State based. "OMPADEC" should be returned so that the projects will concentrate on oil producing communities not STATES. In Rivers State for example so many projects are sited in Port Harcourt instead of the communities affected by oil exploration and exploitation. NDDC should be scrapped.

Exactly. Ondo state that has the largest coastline in West Africa is what this old man is saying isn't a coastal state. Is this old age or what, I don't understand.

NDDC projects are sited in the big cities while the hinterlands that really produce the oil are left backward and neglected. Imagine the entire oil-producing areas of Ondo state haven't had electricity for over 10 years now.

tribal slurs

How is the word "pitobi rodents" a tribal slur? Is that the name of any tribe or ethnic group in Nigeria? Please educate me. I'm not aware we have a tribe named such.

anungangampu:

Peter Obi is a better candidate from the South. If you like hate it or like it. Tinubu know what he is doing . Its just like denying Yorouba appointments becuze they Voted Olu Falae. It doesnt make sense. Winner takes it all its more of a tradition in South West but trying to do it in National affairs will burn alot of bridge. This is as bad as anything for Yoruba tribe unless Tinubu will divide Nigeria after his tenure. The worst thing that can happen to Yorubas is SS and SE ganging up againt them. Tinubu is already showing how much he want South West support and in truth no one really supports him like some of you claims.

At the bolded was already done in the last election and still being done with all the insults and bullying on social media. The votes from the SE and SS for the candidate from the SW (Tinubu) already showed that. It was the North that rescued him. Save for the likes of Wike who stuck his neck out for Tinubu, which other people worked for him there. Isn't that a gang-up? Amaechi in his party even openly worked against him. So I don't understand you please.

DMerciful:
Wike and Umahi are from the old Eastern region

Tell me any meaningful thing both of them have done so far in this government? The only time Umahi was in the news was for locking the gates on civil servants.

DMerciful:
The performing ministers are from the old Eastern region. Same thing with Obj and Gej govts!

Who are the ministers from old Eastern region in this government that have done anything meaningful so far? While I don't doubt the capacity of Umahi to perform, but what has he done so far to make this sweeping generalisation? The only minister that has shown promise in this government is the Interior one, and he's from Ondo state.

Someone who's unhealthy and he's supposed to be put under pressure by the state assembly to resign and take care of his health or be impeached for his absenteeism is the same person that has the guts to want to use the same foolish state assembly to impeach the healthy deputy governor who has been holding fort in his absence. What an irony of leadership in Africa.

Austindark:
The usage of ALSO, clearly indicates the he 'Tinubu' indeed faked his certificates intentionally. I wonder what his lawyers are now trying to defend in court.

So you think it's Tinubu's lawyers that added "also" to their petition. Who would do such self harms to themselves? Isn't it obvious that it's the news blog that used such sensational headline to attract traffic?

Holluwhakemmy:
Stop posting nonsense about Yorubas. Your people in Ahoada West Local Government are seeking for help due to poverty ravaging them go and rescue them first

The idiot who has made himself a nuisance on this forum is clearly obsessed with Tinubu and Yorubas. I don't think the lowlife can make a post without the words, "Tinubu" or "Yoruba" in it. Jobless oaf.

FreeStuffsNG:
Building project in the village while squatting in Lagos? Smh

Misplaced priority.

Obiedun:
Obi is a useless politician.
Gbajue Peter Obi that shamelessly appear on national TV to talk about PBAT certificate should as well shamelessly go on national TV to explain how he graduated in the university in 1984 and did his GCE in 1986.

He should explain to Nigerians how he got admitted in a university without the mandatory secondary school certificate.

If I hear pin, I go release more documents against him.

You can't close your yash and be looking at others.

You don't have to hear pim before releasing documents about him. He and his people have been dragging Tinubu here and there. So if he is also guilty, then you'll be doing the nation a great service to expose the one who parades himself as a saint and messiah of Nigeria.

ozo13:
didn't buhari showed us something similar then but people insisted he never attended school till date

Those wicked animals will discredit everything about you once you're not their candidate or they hate you like Buhari and Tinubu. Both Buhari and Tinubu produce class picture which they tag fake outrightly without any contrary proof. For now, Atiku is their darling, so they will swallow whatever he brings.

What's the relevance of these pictures? We are talking about using a different first name, Siddiq for WAEC purposes only while pre-WAEC and post-WAEC first names weirdly remain Atiku, you're showing us calendar. If the calendar had the name "Siddiq Abubakar" written underneath his pictures, then that would at least be plausible in a sense but there's nothing like that. So what's the point as the argument wasn't about whether he attended a secondary school or not, but about inconsistent first names. Dele Momodu you can do better with this your boy-boy job.

BoldBrainz:


Be here explaining nonsense.

So Tinubu is the only student to have graduated from CSU with his set that managed to have a "first class" right? All other students were dummies, so they couldn't have possibly made a first class to merit a certificate labeled "with honours".

This is how you people will be walking around distorting the rudiments of truth and facts. No single sample of the CSU certificate brought to that court room had "with honours" attached anywhere. But somehow your Tinubu was the Einstein of the thousands of students to have graduated from CSU, hence the special recognition abi?

Tunde, foolishness has no numerical or financial value. Try and have sense!

Unless you have evidence that the certificate samples CSU brought to court included students with a First class grade to have warranted them to graduate with honours and yet that was not present in theirs, then the person you quoted has a point. Remember they just picked random samples of few certificates for the period in contention and there's every probability that they didn't pick those with first class grades.

BTO smart guy. Boosting his profile and acceptability towards governorship of Ondo state in the nearest future.

Gajagojo:
What was the date of that referendum?

It was in 1961. Read the link below to get full details about it.

https://guardian.ng/opinion/atiku-abubakar-a-nigerian-by-referendum/

GeneralPula:

With this waec certificate, I have a reason to believe Atiku might not be a Nigerian..

SIDDIQ is a French Islamic name..

But it is not a hidden fact that Atiku was a Cameroonian at birth and not Nigerian but became a Nigerian when Jada where he comes from had a referendum to join Nigeria.

oyeraff:
His primary school bears Atiku Abubakar, his secondary school bears Sadiq Abubakar and his university bears Atiku Abubakar, meaning that he used another person's WAEC result to gain admission to university, simple logic

Has it been established that his primary school bears Atiku Abubakar? If that's the case, then it's clear that man used someone else's WAEC result especially when you consider the so-called Siddiq and Atiku are his supposed first names not surnames. Normally, it's surnames people have reasons to change not their first names.

Isn't it funny and ironic that the person who has a blatant case of academic fraud on his hands is same person going after another looking for forgery case?

Abuloma80:
So inconsequential an allegation! For the record or knowledge every ABUBAKAR is SADIQ or SIDDIQ,
BUBA,
KHALIFA,
KARI,
BAKARI,
ABAKAR.
The SIDDIQ in his name is normal and automatically part of his name, unless he decides to drop it. We have similar in most tribal names in Nigeria!

But Abubakar is his surname not his first name. Atiku is supposedly his first name. If his first name is Abubakar, I could understand a Siddiq replacing it since they're the same. That would mean the name on the WAEC cert would have been Atiku Siddiq instead of Atiku Abubakar, but what he has on the WAEC is Siddiq Abubakar. Or is every Atiku also a Siddiq too?

Alphalite:
Guy, did you read well? When did "Tribunal" become" Tinubu"?

Oh my mistake lol.

RingRoadMafia:
Still addressing Tinubu as "senator' is wild mehn 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

The oby woman is so bitter and uncouth. Even if you hate him that much because your candidate Peter Obi lost to him, at least respect the office he occupies and address him properly as President Tinubu not Senator Tinubu. He's the President of Nigeria recognised by law today whether you Oby or your co-travellers like it or not.
