UnfairLife7:
it is not easy o bro. But bible said a man who couldn't provide for his family is an infidel.

Manner also fell from heaven in the bible. Look, some of us men are simply not fit, mentally and emotionally, to mention marriage with their mouths, but this Nigeria is daily making infidels of even worthy men.

Obinoscopy:
Good idea. However you didn't factor in corruption.

This and many other factors.

You must first consider the immediate micro and macro effects of suddenly putting unearned money into the pockets of numerous people. Those of us who live, or have lived, in the Western world can tell you firsthand how this "free money" has permanently devastated a large portion of the productive population of some of the advanced economies.

Then there is the Nigeria factor. The inflation that will be unleashed will have no precedent in history. The woman in the marketplace will calculate her additional take-home pay on the basis of what she now understands to be the income of her neighbor.

Our institutions are very weak or non-existent. What data or records will we use in managing these payments? What happened to our age-old albatrosses like corruption, tribalism, laziness, incompetence, nepotism, cronyism, etc.?

Germany, as a case study, is a welfare state. The country provides what it calls "Bürgergeld"(citizen's income) to any citizen or resident who cannot provide for their subsistence (502 Euro monthly income (#504,515) AND cost of rent (about 700 euros for a single person or #703,500) AND cost of heating, medical insurance, contribution to the pension fund and other basic needs.

This payment, which is enshrined in the constitution as a basic right, ensures that people are decent. The lack of desperation in the populace allows citizens and residents to walk around at 3 am without fear.

Germany has an efficient administrative system without all the Nigerian factors mentioned above. This control mechanism enables the authorities to monitor and tailor education and retraining policies, including measures to combat unemployment, to the needs of society and industry.

The German economy is strongly anchored in manufacturing and SMEs. These segments of the economy are strongly supported to enable growth and innovation. It is through the taxes and royalties that are generated from these sources that the socio-economic measures are financed. Economically, these payments also stimulate the economy. Recipients spend their income in the economy as living expenses and pay 19% VAT.

The problem I see with Nigeria is the lack of effective productivity. Epileptic to almost non-existent productive capacity, which is choking the economy, with the attendant overpopulation of the country.

170 million people (against a claimed 220 million), with an estimated 20 percent of the population effectively productive. Nigerians, when employed, are mostly underemployed, therefore unable to contribute fully to the economy.

What the country needs are economic policies that spur innovation. Kill corruption from the top down, overhaul our education system to produce job-ready graduates, more technical than academic.

The country must have a steady power supply, end oil theft by the Nigerian elite, build a new refinery and completely rehabilitate the Port Harcourt refinery in a 20/85 percent partnership with the private sector (government cannot run business).

Control inflation by preventing and sanctioning the investment of internal ill-gotten wealth into the system and the export of the same, effective taxation and pension system, and aggressively promote SMEs, the middle economic engine, to succeed.

Agriculture? With the right policies, Nigeria can easily become a net exporter of food to sub-Saharan countries and beyond.

Since our population is bound to explode and cannot be stopped, Nigeria must aim to export skilled labor, coupled with a home-based pension system in the manner that Turkey is practicing, and rake in massive remittances like India and the Philippines.

These are basic and urgent. There are other urgent measures we must adopt to kick start the country, but una no dey pay me. Tinubu sef don hire empty-headed quarks who are on the prowl, selling him dummies. Welcome to renewed shege you promoted, or you are forced to swallow.

ElSudani:
The OP has never heard of Udoji money and it's effect on the Nigerian economy.

Na small boy dey do am. Forgive him.

DenreleDave:
To all the men out there that are married and blessed with kids..... How are you coping?

How are you surviving with no job?

How are you surviving with low source of income?

How is your home? How do u keep going despite the hardness?

My experience today seeing a family man is not good ....

I feel so bad that I am so helpless to help forever......

Your sadness will be over... Every difficult thing in your life will be solved... You and ur family will smile......

God bless all struggling married men with responsibilities....

Most are definitely struggling under the heavy weight of "see finish" induced insults from their wives and even children.

That's what you get when you live in a society where core family and moral values have evaporated and what's left is extreme greed and moral decadence.

Yet, there are level-headed, hard-working women out there who stand by their struggling spouses and give them reason to believe and the will to succeed. My respect goes to these ladies.

cheque:
In meet this new chick, we are getting along closely, but she dislikes underwear, she wear jean without a pant On, shirts / blouse without a bra On, please advise me on how to remedy this condition.
Shirts without bra
Trousers without pant, although she wears tite in her skirts

How is this the only headache you have in the Tinubu introduced shege Nigerians are currently grappling with?

The lady in question is an adult, an individual, and therefore entitled to her own preferences and prerogatives. She is probably not going to tell you to wear boxer shorts if it is slips for you.

Learn to accept people's choices, and perhaps try to understand the reason they swing a certain way in a friendly discussion.

Relationship no suppose hard.

It's got to be that fraudulent piece of shit paper Tinubu bought from Yakubu.

The Council of Ulama (Islamic clerics) in Kwara State on Tuesday warned those planning to celebrate traditional religion or Ifa festival in Ilorin, the state capital, to retrace their steps.

The council warned that Ifa festival, under any guise, would not be allowed in any part of Ilorin Emirate, comprising Asa, Moro, Ilorin East, Ilorin West and Ilorin South local government areas.

The executive secretary of the council, Justice Salihu Mohammed made the position of the council known at a press conference held in Ilorin.

Mohammed, a former Grand Khadi of Kwara state Sharia Court of Appeal spoke on behalf of the chairman of the Council of Ulama and Chief Imam of Ilorin, Sheik Bashir Salihu.

The Secretary who said that Ilorin, Kwara State capital was known as sanctuary of Islam for more than 200 years and renowned for Islamic faith, practice, Spirituality and Knowledge stated that the insistence of the youth wing of the International Council for Ifa Religion( ICIR) to hold their festival in Ilorin on August 20th 2023, posed danger to the security of lives and property across the state.

“It is in the light of this that we have found it extremely necessary to plead with the Kwara State government and all stakeholders to appeal to the ICIR and similar interest groups to stay away from Ilorin as available evidence convinced us that the staging of the event in Ilorin would have a serious negative consequence on the peace of Kwara State.

“We are not unmindful of the pillage of aspersions and insults mounted on our father, the Emir of Ilorin and chairman, Council of Emirs and Chiefs in Kwara State, Alhaji Ibrahim Sulu-Gambari by individuals that are expected to know better, which are unfortunate, condemnable and inexcusable.

“We don’t think any individuals or group has anything to gain from destruction of the harmonious coexistence. The people of Ilorin Emirate, particularly the Kwara State Council of Ulama cannot be coerced by any person or group of persons claiming to be representing intellectualism or atheistic practices to destroy what our forefathers have fought for.

“As community and opinion leaders in our various places of abode, we are not unaware of the readiness of various youth groups never to allow the staging of the so called ‘isese’ festival anywhere in Ilorin .

“To them, such activities would pollute the peace and tranquillity of the community as it is also been seen as invasion and an act of cultural imperialism.

“We as leaders, see merit in the position of the Muslim youths. We sincerely believe that it is unwise and wrong for non residents of a community to forcefully impose imported thoughts or practices on their hosts .This is repugnant to natural justice and it will certainly lead to the brake down of law and order.”

“We must make it abundantly clear that we are not against the celebration of isese festival. What is important to let the whole World know is that we , the people of Ilorin, have absolutely nothing to do with it. We understand the motive of their sinister and abominable move but warn that Ilorin have moved on.

“The Emirate might be a Yoruba speaking city, it must be realized that its present culture is no longer that of Yoruba, Hausa, Fulani, Nupe or any other, but purely an Islamic culture. We therefore advise that they should allow peace to reign across Nigeria. All we are saying is that it should not be held where the celebrators and celebration would not be welcomed. Ilorin is certainly not among the places that should be considered for such a festival if the organisers are patriotic and well meaning”, Mohammed said.

While appealing to Muslim youths and other stakeholders to exercise patience, Mohammed appealed to Kwara state governor, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, ” to direct all the security agencies in the state to take note of this threat to the peace and security of the state .A stitch in time saves nine.”

At the press conference were the Imam Gambari, Ajanasi Agba, Sheikh Yusuf Pakata, Professor Badmas Yusuf, two former grand Khadis, Justices Idris Haroon and Ola AbdulKadir; former president of Ilorin Emirate Descendants Progressive Union (IEDPU), Alh AbdulHamid Adi; and representatives of Imams and Alfas from all the 16 local government areas of the state.

Recall that the Kwara state Police Command had advised the International Council for Ifa Religion (ICIR) who are behind the planning of holding the Isese festival to relocate the event to another state as the security report did not favour the celebration of the festival in Ilorin.

“Vigilante, local hunters, community policing members, and the leadership of the traditional worshippers in Kwara, along with some of their leaders from adjoining states, have also been dialogued with and made to understand that the intelligence available to the Police Command does not favor the kind of celebrations being planned by one of the religious sects in the state; they have been advised to relocate their celebration to another state pending a favorable security situation in the state, the Police Command said in the statement signed by SP Okasanmi Ajayi, Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) on behalf of the state Commissioner of Police, Mrs Ebbunoluwarotimi Adelesi.

What concerns me with lp internal matter

Ok. All good.

Waiting for Garfield1 to come and tell us how Julius Abure did not plead the prayers granted.

Ebi2233:
*IJAW WOULD HAVE HAD NO VALUE IF NOT FOR NIGERIA'S BAYELSA✍🏽✍🏽✍🏽.*



*Ijaw Nation, the 3rd or 4th largest tribe in Nigeria comprising of 86 Clans and over 2,800 villages and settlements starting from Apoi West Clan in Nigeria's Ondo State to Ibeno Clan in Nigeria's Akwa-Ibom State unjustly balkanized into Nigeria's Ondo, Edo, Delta, Bayelsa, Rivers and Akwa-Ibom States when we are fully together and not even scattered by God is among the most blessed people in the world.*



*Ijaw produce over 90 percent of all Nigeria's Crude Oil and Gas both onshore and offshore hence the unjust balkanizations into no less than 6 states in order to break us more because they know that if we are united, we can do wonders.*



*Fortunately for us, they gave us half State with few local government areas despite our great size.*
*Some say Bayelsa is with less population but this is false.*
*Population figures are being rigged in LGA Headquaters for political reasons and if they rig population figures in 8 LGAs Headquaters in Bayelsa, they will rig it in 48 LGA Headquaters in Anambra and Imo States combined.*
*And these two States put together are far smaller than Bayelsa in Area even when put together.*
*Imo 27 LGAs, Anambra 21 LGAs.*



*Despite the fact that Bayelsa is bigger than 10 Nigerian States of which are Lagos, Ekiti, Osun, Akwa-Ibom, Abia, Imo, Enugu, Anambra, Ebonyi and even Nigeria's FCT Abuja.*
*Bayelsa with 10,773km2 is 873km2 bigger than Imo of 5,100km2 and Anambra of 4,800 km2 the two is 9,900km2 when put together while Bayelsa is 10,773km2.*



*Bayelsa comprise of over 800 villages and settlements under it.*
*Bayelsa is the stronghold of the Ijaws.*
*Whoever talk bad of Sanni Abacha is a betrayal to the Ijaw Nation.*
*He may have issues with other tribes but they cannot instigate us to hate him.*
*To patriotic Ijaws, Sanni Abacha is an Ijaw man because before he created Bayelsa, people had already created 30 States with no State for Ijaws.*
*One good reason the road that the Headquaters of the Apex Socio Cultural Organization of the land, the Ijaw National Congress (INC) is known as Sanni Abacha Road in Yenagoa.*



*Without Bayelsa, Ijaw would have no value.*
*God gave us Crude Oil as compensation for our difficult terrains but they take their resources and take Ijaw own too.*
*Ijaw is as large among the 3 largest tribes in Nigeria reason we had asked for a Region of Ijaw own even during the days of Regions as led by Sir Harold Dappa Biriye from Bonny in Ibani Clan.*



*Those that try challenge Ijaws are afraid because we have Bayelsa.*
*Both in money and man power the Ijaws that are threatened would get supports from Bayelsa like it has always been.*




*Ijaw our past,*
*Ijaw our present,*
*Ijaw our future.*

Which kain wahala be dis?

BTW, Niamey's the capital, not N'djamena.

Correct. Thanks.

garfield1:
Notwithstanding the headline,this is surely how the court will rule.this is based on what the petitioners tendered in court,their final written address and replies.just as the court combined or consolidated atiku and obi petitions,I will attempt to do so.the petition is hinged on five grounds namely;

1) That obi and atiku won the elections and that their votes were suppressed.

2) That there was massive violation of inec guidelines necessitating in irregularities which calls for outright cancellations and a rerun.

3) That tinubu should be disqualified based on a conviction or punishment by u.s court

4) That Shettima is guilty of double nomination

5) That 25% requirement in FCT is mandatory

6) That Tinubu is not qualified by being a citizen of guinea and he is also guilty of perjury and inconsistencies in his educational qualifications

Ground one: Peter obi has not proven that he won the election and has not brought any proof to that effect.all his evidences points to the fact that tinubu won and that there was irregularities.even the mathematician prof ofoedu's analysis showed the only difference in the overall results was in benue,rivers and 18,000 units that were blurred.no evidence points to peter winning.it is safe to say that obi has abandoned this prayer and wants fresh polls.
For atiku,most of his evidences points to irregularities.a watery report akin to the 2019 server debacle focusing on 26 states tendered by Sam oduntan showed he won but did not give details as to how and was based only on irev data.atiku is focusing on disqualifying tinubu and declaring himself winner or a rerun.infact,evidences presented by both petitioners shows that election was conducted peacefully and the only issue was just upload which is supposed to be manual or electronic as provided by section 60-65 EA.

Ground 2:It is settled law that one will not only prove irregularities but do so substantially and show how it affected the overall results.Lp lawyers claim Inec promised electronic transmission but has failed to prove that inec failed to transmit electronically.the only called one witness to that effect who claimed that elections was free and fair.Atiku called five adhoc staffs who also testified to that effect.this unfortunately only affects the polling units they worked as evidence in election cases are restricted to each units.inec can easily call 10 staffs who will testify that results were sucessfully transmitted.in any case,the electoral act plus a fhc judgment gives inec the leeway to transmit anyhow.The court of appeal recently ruled that by virtue of section 60 of the EA,inec can choose,vary,change it's manner of transmission at any point.In other words,both manual and electronic transmission are allowed.those witnesses that said they couldn't transmit didn't blame inec but the bvas and eventually sent the results to the collation units.the purpose of electronic transmission by virtue of section 60-65 of the EA2022 is to aid collation.no collation officer was called to testify.again,the law says the collation officer will compare the hardcopy with the transmitted results.the transmitted result that was uploaded is still on the bvas in image form so the collation staff can easily look at the bvas image and form ec8a.The EA clearly specified transmit or transfer.transfer mainly has to do with manual activities while transmit is electronic.further reading of the manual guidelines will expose more on this.

Lp also called an amazon staff to show that there was no glitch.apart from the fact that she is partisan and on her own frolic without AWS permit,she confirmed that they could be localized glitch within inec. she had no letter of employment or ID but presented a letter of work history which was downloaded a day earlier plus it was unsigned rendering it inadmissible.even if there was a glitch,it does not prove anything.the adeleke vs oyetola supra 2022 case placed reliance on physical evidence and tagged online evidences as thirdhand and unreliable.inec director provided incontrovertible evidence showing localized glitches and network issues
The only quarter concrete evidence of irregularities obi provided was from 18000 units of blurred results which was based only on irev which are secondary results.lp lawyers should have verified with primary hardcopies.if they could be a leeway, it will be from here as 9 mil voters are domiciled here and 2.5 mil voters came out during the last polls.in another rerun,fewer will come out.outside this,no substantial infraction has been proven.nothing compelling has been tendered.see okereke vs umahi 2015 supra.obi petition is full of mere allegations and averments and these are not evidence.see uzodinma vs pdp supra 2020.most of the evidences tendered were not pleaded.see the above case laws.Lp failed to provide inec top copies and a comparison with top copies from rivers showed that the irev was unreliable.in adeleke vs oyetola,jsc Agim clearly stated that the bvas and server materials could be affected by network issues,printer error,scanning issue,bad camera etc which further proves it's unreliability
To further destroy obi's case,the apex court has severally stated that guidelines cannot be a ground for election petition.see wike vs dakuku, okereke vs supra,pdp vs yari...

Ground three: No arguments has been canvassed on the fct matter so it can be seemed abandoned.but if not,a community reading of section 28,section 42 and 299 of the constitution has placed fct as a state.the body language,orbiter dictum,innuendoes of the court has shown where they will stand.again,the principle of legal ambiguity presupposes that where an ambiguity in law exists,the jurists will choose the most sensible, meaningful option for the lawmakers are not confusionists or intend to create chaos.Again,all the laws quoted by the Lp lawyers support this position.
In reality,fct is less than a state and cannot all of a sudden be elevated above a state without bringing equality first.moreover,other similar democracies do not practice such absurd voting system...section 134 of the constitution provided 2 requirements.if it intended to make Fct mandatory,a third requirement would have been separately provided below as no 3.
Again, section 22-28 states that all persons have equal voting rights likewise all voting areas.no place is superior to another.this supercedes whatever 134 may be implying because an earlier provision of the constitution supercedes a later one.section 299 sees fct as a state.the courts have severally stated that the fct is neither superior or inferior to a state.


Ground three: section 182 d and e clearly says within a period of 10 years,he has been imprisoned or convicted by any court in nigeria.tinubu forfeiture wasn't a conviction and even if,10 years has elapsed and the judgment wasn't registered in Nigeria.that subsection further states that he must be under imprisonment or a sentence flowing or arising from a conviction and tinubu is not under any conviction.civil cases do not lead to convictions.moreover,he was never charged,arraigned or found guilty of any thing.what happened was that three of his accounts were frozen via an exparte order by us authorities with links to two convicts.he now proved to the court and fbi that money in two accounts were his and the one belonging to the other remaining account wasn't his.so,in a mutual agreement supervised by the court,two accounts were unfrozen and one forfeited as part of a compromise or out of court settlement.
The Lp quoted Austin vs USA to support their case but this case was a criminal case where there was a trial and conviction.in Tims vs Indiana,the accused pleaded guilty in court and was convicted.therefore,this is inapplicable here as section 68 of the evidence act States that a foreign law will be subjected to a municipal court.the reciprocal agreement has made it mandatory for all foreign judgments to be registered.this prayer is dead.let me kill it further by stating that Obi failed to call a lawyer vested in American law.barr nwakaeti only visited america once and provided scant knowledge of the US system.he also failed to call witnesses from the us judicial or prosecuting authorities.current evidences like the 2003 letter from us embassy and his recent visits to the USA shows he has no issues there.

Ground four; the shettima issue has been buried by the supreme court.they clearly stated that it was a pre election matter and internal to a party and that it can only extend beyond if he was nominated by 2 parties.section 84 of the electoral act clearly makes nomination a pre election matter and only aspirants have locus standi.double nomination is not a constitutional matter and only constitutional matters pertaining to qualifications can be raised at a tribunal.again,the apex court found out that shettima was never guilty of double nomination and lp has no new evidence necessitating a review.

6) concerning perjury,the inec form has two questions on nationality.whether one has ever changed nationality? This is a No for tinubu.secondly,whether tinubu has ever voluntarily acquired citizenship elsewhere.this is a no because he never sought for guinean citizenship,he was only conferred and given a diplomatic passport to that effect.
On the so-called evidences supplied by atiku witness,the witness a lawyer rubbished most of them in what we call hostile testimony. Again,it is settled law that an expired document in law is inadmissible Atiku failed to call a witness from Guinea or someone vested in guinean law to testify .
The Female gender was recorded in his transcript and he never submitted transcript to inec as it's not a constitutional requirement. Again,the documents was gotten from a lawyer Mr kowtals who has no links with the schools tinubu attended.he should have called witnesses from the issuing documents as only the maker can competently prove it's authenticity.pdp and lp quoted degi vs diri to support their case but the court recently in edevbie vs sheriff stated that they have departed from that judgment.in oyetola vs adeleke,they stated that when a dispute about a document arises,the testimony of the issuing authority will settle the tie.Adekunle has been in his name and the apex court has severally ruled on name variations.Atiku failed to prove that it is not part of his name.the age differences is of no effect as the apex court noted that as far as a candidate is up to 40 years,he is good to go.see AGI vs ayade supra..

This matter will be dismissed with 1 billion naira fine to be paid by the petitioners each to each of the respondents.cooouurrrt.

Utter trash!

Nigeria's military has no business in Niger under the prevailing circumstance. But that said.

This Nigerian military brutally murdered your fellow countrymen and women during the End SARS protest, but you did not see the need to raise your voices to support the effort. On the contrary. You spoke against these peaceful protesters only because you were immune from the daily struggles of the rest of us with these criminal state agents.

Who then is surprised they now woke up to protest against the same barbaric military overzealousness external to us as a country, and in our current precarious economic climate and unresolved political leadership?.

Fulani and some of their Yoruba name-bearing bastards are now rubbing the pains of Ilorin annexation on Yoruba faces, while our people in the middle belt are daily burying their dead, brutally, unprovoked, murdered by this marauding tribe.

Their python in uniforms has been dancing on Ndigbo for 3+ years, while they busy themselves blackmailing the rest of Nigeria on behalf of their real brothers and sisters in Niger and everything Islam.

This begs the urgent question, on what basis can anyone justify Nigeria's continued existence as presently constituted?.

ecolime:
Hardcore Obidients are making things complicated with those #AllEyesOnTheJudiciary taglines and billboards.


It looks more like bullying.

Do you want them to be caught sleeping while riding a bicycle again?. Remember once beaten....

Lying and criminal CBN. Diaspora remittance in 2021 was 22 billion dollars, but we know it is double or more than double. How do I know?, I am one of the many Nigerians who remit this money week after week, month after month. In a year, when we earned a paltry $6 billion in oil revenue, diaspora remittances financed the country's budget.

Our remittances paid for nurses, doctors, teachers, and your criminal-thieving politicians, including the black SUVs they used to run you off the road. But what have they told you about us? They should not vote because they live outside the country. Their opinions don't count, we can't appoint them to give us their expertise. They are second-class Nigerians, but they are good enough to finance your existence.

But we know they are just afraid of us. They are in awe of those who have become enchanted, civilized, emancipated, and educated and have built economic capacity for themselves as they have, but as corrupt parasites.

The CBN must stop lying. They are the criminals who have been stealing from the rest of us. They are the people who have been fiddling with our foreign exchange earnings, round-tripping, etc. Not only that, they are complicit and co-responsible for today's turn of events.

Tinubu's ineptitude, open corruption, lack of emotional intelligence, and integrity are the second factor. I am currently telling people directly under my influence to stop or drastically reduce their remittances to this fraudulent economy. The sanctions Nigeria connived with Ecowas to impose on Niger are now directly depressing the naira. The decline in our trade volume has a direct impact on our currency. Tinubu and his handlers missed this otherwise obvious macro effect.

I am not willing to continue funding these criminal politicians, including the idi0ts who are paid from our funds, to insult their fellow long-suffering citizens here in Nairaland daily. I know that won't change much or anything, but this is the least we can do. Docile Nigerians need to feel the pain of their docility. They need a catalyst to wake them up from their slumber and hopefully begin to hold those who have ruined their lives accountable.

I laugh at these hungry and depraved idi0ts who have been unleashed on Nigerians as attack dogs, talking to anyone who expresses an opinion contrary to their programmed narrative. You m0rons are as many victims as the people you connive with, your slave masters who feed you crumbs to insult and misinform.

I am ashamed of you. I am ashamed of you because you definitely do not believe in the contract you are executing. Your conscience is for sale, for a pittance. Those of us who fight for what is right for this country and her citizens do so without compensation of any kind or any expectation thereof, except good governance and the wellbeing of all of her people.

We are happy to commit ourselves daily, spending our time and resources to do so. We are driven by the love of country, not by whomever you call a “principal”.

And, I've got bad news for you. While you are spending the now orphaned naira, some of us, including yours truly, are earning and spending dollars and euros daily. Currencies that some of you would readily kill for, and a lot of it. Yet we fight for you.

Nigerians are now committing suicide daily. A phenomenon that was rare or even foreign to this country before now. Desperation and hopelessness have become the order of the day in the land, yet your depleted consciences would not flinch. And for what reason exactly?. Are you really that lazy to take care of yourselves?.

BTW, Niamey's the capital, not N'djamena.

Problem solved

It is no longer a secret that Ahmed Tinubu feels that his claim to legitimacy should now come through the barrel of guns.

He appears determined, in the process, to court and romance the voices that may ultimately silence him when the real power holders, Nigerians, finally wake up to remind him that he is not majority chosen by them.

But as he matches in the meantime into an unprovoked, unjustifiable bloodletting, including those of our men and women in uniform, he may want to, at the least, do us a favor and return something to us as ROI.

Asari Dokubo asked to be sent. He and his co-criminals has since been licensed to kill on behalf of the government. And we have our famous northwest bandits headed by Sheik Ahmad Gumi and Malam Nasir El-Rufai, Fulani herdsmen ably represented by Miyetti Allah Koutal-hore, even Boko Haram.

We may finally do one thing right in this country. Coalesce with these forces and send them into Niger as an advance force, while our military boys escort them at a reasonable distance.

Our military boys and girls are to ensure they do not retreat and to wipe them out at the first attempt at cowardice. That's what the over-hyped super Tukano was meant to do.

Our Ecowas brothers need not worry for now. They can conveniently stay home with their wives and children.

We should enter into agreement and send Asari & co, all northwest bandits, Fulani herdsmen and Boko Haram into battle with Niger across our divide, then clandestinely support Niger to wipe them out. Problem solved.

Loss?. We did not lose anything. It was an altercation between overzealous rascals and Niger coupists.

Ecowas returns to the negotiating table, where we will work to find an African solution. Meanwhile, our terrorists are with their maker while we resume sleeping with both eyes closed. Nigerians wins.

Did Tinubu not steal our election?. That in itself is worse than a coup d'état, but we are still suing each other up and down. That is seeking an African solution.

Ikaeniyan0:
Yes, I prefer the brain of a man who graduated with a first class in CSU, worked for companies like mobil, became a senator and a governor and now a president to that of your daddy.

He graduated from CSU yet he is contesting the presentation of the evidence thereof?.

As fellow Africans, I am condemned to like and embrace all of you. But some of your are utterly shameless and useless.

pretydiva:
Oh no.. This is so heartbreaking . What could have went wrong??

Nigeria. A wicked, terrible space with equally wicked and terrible people to boot.

ImperialYoruba:
Majority Nigerians voted this man and said he is their choice. That majority has not asked him to step down.

I guess when court returns victory to Tinubu you will take this wailing to next level and condemn the judges for rigging the constitution for Tinubu. Abi no be so?

Did you mention Tinubu and Majority in the same sentence?. Listen, Tinubu did not receive more than 3 million real votes in this election. Yakubu simply manufactured the rest out of his warped imaginations. Little wonder he and his co election results manipulators were unable to present a coherent defense of their shameful dishonesty before the justices.

BoldBrainz:
OP,

Your last paragraph sounds marginally close to a threat.

Well...

izonborn098:
Where is ur own mindset taking the country to'

Get lost.

izonborn098:
Op' if you are the president of nigeria today, will u allow one court to sack u?

Look, this mindset is the reason we are where we are today. It shouldn't be about the interests of an individual who derived his title from us.

That said, I will never impose myself on people who do not want me. And in the unlikely event that I elect to betray my parental upbringing in such a disgraceful manner, I believe I will, in an act of self-flagellation, immediately vacate the office if the people so demand.

The day our brothers in the middle belt learn and adopt the tactics and determined aggression with which Igbos step up to those who would otherwise want to visit on them, the same murder and mayhem seen here, that will be the day their lives will get a reprieve.

And the rest of Nigeria, supporters of injustice, impunity, and retrogression, can bleat all they want. In Nigeria, you've gotta get yours. From the plains of the plateau down to the river banks of the Benue, you've gotta arm yourselves and get into battle if you hope to stay alive.

Igbo has been showing you how it is done, even in the face of their concerted blackmail. Learn from your brothers who have been there before you, done that, and are still in the battle as we speak. Ignore your saboteur politicians. Arm the Bleep-up and defend the lives you live.

Three (3) strikes and you're out. Take your pick:

1. Invalid nomination
2. Double nomination
3. Guinean citizenship
4. Forged certificate
5. Criminal forfeiture
6. Submission of false information
7. Perjury

Now, pick any 3 and there are still four (4) more strikes left to pick from.

If Tinubu is absolved of all these, then the Nigerian Correctional Centre should close out, fold up, and officers deployed to do better things with their lives.

The courts should release all prisoners in these facilities based on precedence.

Any attempt, attempted attempts, or group of attempt, eh!. Anyway, all our eyes are firmly trained on the corrupt judiciary.

Lol!

I told Ebola boys that Tinubu’s request for Military Action in Niger would be thrashed like a used sanitary pad by Senate but they were busy foaming from their mouth rather than listening to my logical analysis.

For anything to get approved at the senate, you 2/3 of the senators to support it. Numerically that’s 73.

Now, APC are just 59 senators.

Opposition senators are 50. All of them would be against the request by default.

Amongst the 59 senators of APC, majority of them are northerners and their stakeholders have told them not to support any military action in Niger because na north go suffer am pass. This made them issue a statement to that effect last night.

So, add 50 opposition senators to about 20 APC senators from the north and you have about 70 senators against the request which would kill the request completely.

But somehow, Ebola boys disagreed with me.

They thought the Nigerian senate is MC Oluomo that the urine dispenser will issue instructions and the illiterate will carry it out with the speed of light without questioning.

The truth is that Tinubu should have just concentrated on wanking Remi’s wrinkled kitten than insulting himself this way all in the name of answering president.

Master strategist is turning out olodo strategist.
Nigerians 1 v 0 Ebola and his herd of tribalists.

I swear, you cannot kill me for my mama

Afamed:
Global recognition.indeed
The letter she wrote to President Joe Biden, have you heard any response from US govt?
She is nothing but a tribal bigot. No Govt will fall for her gimmick.
Govt both local and international don't respond to emotions but facts and figures which are all missing in her letters.
Her letter belongs to the Dustin which the US Govt have done already.
All the killings and Unrest by the UGM in the SE just at her backyard.
Have you seen her writing any condemnation or saying anything about it?
That is where she should focus her later on

Right winner Indeed.
Did Obi tell you in his final submission, that he won the election?
Majority of una are nothing but blind followers

You make me laugh. You know the truth, so much so that you don't believe the nonsense you wrote yourself.

Chimamanda should be ashamed to publicly support a man of her conviction, who she believes won the election because paid, tribal bigots like yourself will label her whatever suits your warped imagination.

The semi-skeletal election thief you trumpet daily is fine because he is your tribesman, even if your life is in the doldrums today because of his mismanagement, nepotism, corruption, and lack of capacity. It's all right.

Look, we are happy and satisfied with the work of our legal team compared to the sham defense of your bloated Olanikpekus & Co. Note my use of the word, “we”.

I do not need to tell you that the criminals you nicknamed UGM are agents of the Federal Government, supervised by the toad from the creeks, Mujaheed Dokubo-Asari. God has finally exposed him for the closet terrorist that he is, an avowed ally of the semi-skeleton in Aso Rock you lazy dullards call a president.

As for who won the election, the court will soon give its verdict. Please do not mention me again. I'm a busy man, unlike you brood of jobless "for hire" town criers.

Efuaye:
A needless War!
This type of war benefits no one! It’s like Russia and USA 20 years of wastage in Afangnistan

Absolutely unnecessary war, only caused by one man's myopic dream of restoring what he believes is a lost empire. You cannot attack anyone in this interconnected world without drawing out an ally or allies. Russia learned nothing from their Afghanistan misadventure, unlike the USA in Vietnam and, recently, Afghanistan.


Vladimir Putin and Russia should be ashamed of themselves, and he ought to be held accountable and ultimately disgraced out of office by Russians for disgracing and demystifying their assumed capability.

If you cannot defeat a military ant, Ukraine, in what is now nearly two years of an all-out war, and Ukraine is now successively hitting targets in the heart of your own territory, you have miserably lost the war. Period.

Minus nuclear capacity, Russia is a phony superpower.

Fear mongers.

I wonder whether their poisoned tongues would find the same advice if Chimamanda was appointed to a position by Ahmed Tinubu?. Would she be advised to circumspect or limit her association with the election thief and his associates?.

Associating with the rightful winner of the election Tinubu stole is now a cardinal sin for which she is to be diplomatically reprimanded.

Nigerian politicians are very dangerous creatures, and the foregoing undoubtably bear their imprimatur. Chimamanda is a global brand, and they fear her reach only because she's not in their camp.
