If the headline had read "One Million APC Members Dump Tinubu, Defect To PDP In Kano" you would have been in a celebration mode by now. But since they defected to APC, it's now delusion.

Obidense know their man is going nowhere so you guys are stylishly supporting Atiku. May God not afflict us with madness.

You sef know say Tinubu and everything about him always evaluates to a big fat lie

10,000 only. You wan insult a whole jagaban ni?.
Grand delusion

You want him to deny his mother because you chose to not rid yourself of your primitive tribalism. A true lagosian from a confirmed and known noble linage, a son of the soil is not qualified to be governor, but a confirmed and demented thief and drug dealer from far away Iragbiji in Osun state is?. You sef go dey well one day.

By playing the tribal and religious card? Lol.
I just hope you dont cry foul when the same tactics are been deployed on you guys. That victimization pattern of you guys wont work anymore. We already know what you guys are: nothing but a double-face hypocritical hypocrites.

It's going to be a long 2023 for some of you. Have a nice day, sir.

Your words on God's ears - self indictment.
Good luck to all sides, but happy losing. See you around, sir

lhordspy:
Mr 00FFT00, these days you are deviating from your normal humble self. You are now diving and digging more into tribalistic and religious politics. Is this a sign or fear of impending defeat?

You are becoming more frustrated.

Thanks for the heads up sir. But, be confident in the knowledge that my responses are still measured. The thing is, you've gotta punch where it hurts sometimes. What's important is that you remain factual, and I am.

lhordspy:
Few weeks back, i decided to remove myself from some specific political discussions and engagements. One of the best decision i made in recent times. It was exhausting taking donkeys to the stream, and still forcing them to drink water. Some people are beyond redemption.

But when you look at the recent happening in the Nigeria's political space. It looks like the world is conniving and conspiring to make Asiwaju Tinubu's pathway to Aso Rock an easy one.

From the internal imploding and tumbling; crumpling and crumbling of the PDP, to the Labour party struggling so hard to prove they are something more than a social media political opponent, something more than a regional party, something more than a party pushing through on the bases of religious partitioning and sentimentalism.

The Abeokuta Asiwaju's escalating and de-escalating political tactics. De ja vu! A rinse and repeat, same thing that happened few weeks to the APC presidential primary. It is happening again. But Why Abeokuta again? The home of Obasanjo, Afenifere's Pa. Adebanjo , Osinbajo.
We can all agree all these names aforementioned have one thing in common; The Antagonists.

'The drama at the enemies backyard ' ; A befitting title for the constant emotional outburst by Asiwaju in that same state.

The fuel are now returning all of sudden. DSS are now chasing after filling stations hoarding product. Everybody including the opposition candidates now talking about the effect of the disastrous Godwin Emefiele's mischievously orchestrated CBN policy and its implications. All thanks to that man; Jagaban. That Bola Tinubu effect ! .

Then the biggest sign of them all; Oyetola's mandate was reclaimed. I hate the sudden quietness, Can i hear somebody say 'Tinubu Lule' , once more. LOL. Maybe not in this world.

Zamfara delivered today. The only state in Nigeria with all Former Governors, Fmr. Deputy Governors, Fmr. Party chairmen and chieftains all in one party, APC; United for one man.
From the scene of Jagaban displaying his dance moves to the royal turbaning afterward. It was awesome and significant.

Fellow Nairalanders, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu is coming. Que sera sera.

Nonsense!.
Ahmed Tinubu is a regional candidate. A Yoruba Muslim candidate. Not more, possibly less.

but forget oyo and river state straight to tinubu bag..

Taah!.
Which Tinubu?. This election is LP's to lose, and that aint gon happen. Feel me?

Goke7:
Fallacies, your grouse with tinubu is his Political strength and influence nothing more. You guys just have issues with very Strong individuals that are not from your region, that's all.

Did you just mention Amoda and strength in the same breath?. Seriously? .

Goke7:
Another fallacy is that if a people decides to follow a man's political ideal and culture does not mean he rules them. Even those who fight him come back to reconcile with him so how is he ruling them? Did he hypnotize them or how

Yes, with their money he stole from them. Tinubu understands power. A master of deprivation and reward. That is a very effective control and command mechanism. Those protesting youths at the toll plaza were threats to his hegemonic chokehold in Lagos, and he had them sent back to their maker.

Goke7:
That is another fallacy, is the Governor of the state? why people pin that crisis on him is still what amazes me, he has no authority over the army or police. Hatred for the man is the reason people ascribe the endsars crisis to him which is so unfair. Who did he murder? do you have any evidence to back this up? Nonsense

Isn't Tinubu the almighty maker and creator of everything in Lagos again?. Selective responsibility acceptance what?. Tinubu rules Lagos, not the figurehead governors. That's what his urchins told us, ain't it?.

All accolades accrue to the master planner and executor, and that includes the multiple murders he ordered at his toll plaza to please his northern masters.

Peter Obi is spreading a love bug in the north, as we speak. What is now required is to grant Nigeria students one week furlough, so they can travel to their various homes to vote. Amoda is in the mud already.

Goke7:
It’s a fallacy to say people are being enslaved because people do not agree with your political views.The last time we saw slavery in Lagos is during endsars protest when people claiming to be fighting for freedom did not allow people to go about their lawful daily business or is it those that could not enter Alaba market without producing their pvcs. That’s the slavery we detest.

House servants indeed who cannot stand up to criminals forcing sit a home anytime they like.

Physician heal thyself before pointing to others

The problem is that most of you barely know what the definition of the word politics is. I do not need to discuss with one a dimensional person whose only reality is that which panders to their narrow, tribal worldview.

That a man who now aspires to preside in Nigeria supported the brutal murder of Nigeria's youths for the offense of daring to ask for dignity and fair treatment in their country is indicative of the shallowness and slave mentality people who think like you are beholden to.

The blood of these innocent young Nigerians is on your heads, and in the fullness of time, running to Paris or wherever your tollgate butcher-in-chief runs to cannot save him.

Goke7:
Should there now be threat of harm for the igbos to comply with other people’s customs? That doesn’t speak well for the igbos.

Igbo are not your house servants that are to harken to every nonsense you dream about. If your want to keep allowing Tinubu and his family to continue enslaving all of you, that is ok, but Igbos will not become scapegoats for people who have refused to stand up for themselves. And they are even in compliance.

I happen to know that Mama Bose who sells dead pigeons at Ogbete market, does not pay Papaloja levies, so also should Emeka in Alaba international.

Goke7:
The issue is that there are boundaries the Igbos tend to cross in other places apart from the SW even in other parts of Nigeria. For example in the SW if an oba dies, the markets are closed as a sign of respect for the dead but the igbos tend to challenge such customs while in the SE when there is a sit at home order, no one challenges but complies. This is one of the overbearing nature people complain about. All over the world there are customs to be abide by all irrespective of your beliefs. That’s the spirit of coexistence and not creating unnecessary fuss

Igbo is to abide by majority edicts, definitely. But I must tell you, it is not so that every Igbo man and woman voluntarily sits at home on Mondays. Life is still precious, and that has not changed, even for Igbos. Let's not even mention that Ipob categorically canceled the exercise.

tonystark007:
1. Tinubu becomes president
2. Atiku becomes president
3. Peter Obi becomes president
4. Nigeria is divided into six different country each formed from the six geopolitical zones and headed by the presidential candidates native to their region (atiku, obi, tinubu) or other major political players (wike, el rufai, osinbajo).
5. Nigeria turns into a state of anarchy (high level of lawlessness and disorder, everybody carry gun, if you know you know)
6. Nigeria is sold to any of the other country either china or usa

For me i will choose number 4

Number 3 is desirable
Number 4 is an option
Number 5 is probable if number 3 and Number do not materialize.

yarimo:
Only lightweight presidential candidate hold rallies in a market, heavyweight hold rallies in big stadium

While you're busy foaming in the mouth, Peter Obi is busy tidying up the last votes he needs to better your miserable life. Get Tinubu to string out one coherent sentence, and you would have earned yourselves a place in this discourse.

Reportbutton:
OBI should use all this his money for better things, Cause as it stands now, it's very fruitless LABOR.
LAS LAS OBI AND HIS ZOMBIES WILL LABOR IN VAIN.
the most useless candidate in the presidential race so far expecially his supporters those on NL are worse off..
We go chop him Money still vote TINUBU and APC 😋

You will be chopping the man's legitimately earned money, at the least. Not so for the stolen money Tinubu wastes all over the north for an untenable ambition.

Tag team!. Competence and solidarity personified in both men.
See how dem hold hands like the brothers and achievers wey dem be.

Show me where Agbado master and the master terrorist were ever affectionate with each other. Na naked greed and power hunger full their head, but Nigeria must win.

Vote for Peter Gregory Onwubuasi Obi and Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed.

christistruth01:
You cannot build Nigeria without respecting the Culture and Customs of each Region

How many Pig Farmers are in Kano State for example

If Aregbesola had not respected the Yoruba Customs of his mothers People he would have
been sent packing to his Father's Egbirraland

So, this explains your Iyaloja and Babaloja narrative. Yours is not about coherence and assimilation, but acquiescence to parochial exigencies. I doubt whether you really read my rejoinder relative to your submission?.

In any case, nobody is disrespecting Yoruba as you will want to make believe. Other Nigerians who live in Yoruba-dominated areas are paying taxes, tenement rates, etc., and I am yet to hear that your shrines were desecrated by "settlers" (No one's a settler in his country), and your traditional institutions are as revered by others as they wish theirs to be revered.

What you must, however, understand is that as long as Yoruba are inside Nigeria, our extant laws remain superior to ethnic affirmations. This is why traditional rulers reign at their governor's pleasure and can be deposed by him. Every citizen of Nigeria is entitled to live and work anywhere in the country and is expected to keep their person in good standing.

Yoruba also live and are vocationally engaged all over Nigeria, and are treated hospitably with the attendant dignity which they deserve. There are whole communities in Akwa Ibom and elsewhere, nationwide. My best childhood friends as a kid in the north, I must tell you, are Yoruba.

I do not recall that Yoruba were constantly reminded to respect Kano. Not that they are disrespectful anyway, but the re-echoing “respect Yoruba” that we daily read in Nairaland has become ridiculous.

That said, my Southwest brothers need to climb down from their high horses. Nobody is doing anybody favors in Nigeria. While competition is healthy and should be encouraged, the no-love-lost co-existence between 2 southern brothers, Nairaland-Igbo and Nairaland-Yoruba has deteriorated into an epidemic disease. My consolation is that this is not the true picture in the larger society.

I do not recall Yoruba in the South-East, for example, other ethnicities being co-opted to pay the various Umunna and Town development levies for which Igbos are famous. Unless they have voluntarily chosen to become part of it. So it is also fair that the Iyaloja levies, for example, are only compulsory for the indigenes of the cultural areas and not others.

Sharia does not “explicitly” apply to non-Muslims in the north, or does it?.

christistruth01:
The Question you must ask yourself is how will a Kanuri Man uphold the Language,Culture and Heritage of Anambra if he becomes Governor
An Enugu person can do it because he understands it but can a Kanuri do it Successfully?

The same applies in Lagos and the SW
Some instutions in the Sw took centuries to set up

For example every Yoruba Market is ruled by a Babaloja or Iyaloja

This is a Centuries old Institution

The Yorubas once fought a 7 year Civil War sparked off by a shortage of one Pepper

in a bowl of Pepper bought at Apomu Market in Osun State

It was called the Pepper War and it directly led to the Owu War

The War ended with Victory for the Ife,Ijebu,Oyo alliance

after they destroyed the 700 year old Kingdom of Owu

The Babaloja and Iyaloja are in the Market to resolve all market disputes and to

make sure that that never happens again

and the Market itself is belongs to the Oba of the Town

I'm not exactly sure what the correlation between the wish to build a coherent Nigeria and Iyaloja, Babaloja has in common. I summarize your submission to point to the need to understand cultural differences and local proclivities. Sure enough, an Egba man could not possibly have arrived Makurdi and assumed that he would be trusted with rulership and vice versa without further qualifying attributes.

What has become abominations in today's Nigeria was a given in colonial times. History recalls that a Fulani man was a mayor in Enugu, and I suspect that was not a one-off, but probably a replete in Nigeria of yesterday.

Joe Igbokwe, the sewage overseer in Lagos, I suspect, did not get to where he is simply by jumping inside the Nnewi-Lagos night bus. He presumably has also had to prove that he had become a Lagosian. It takes time and process. This applies, and at all levels.

I can aspire to any position today in a first world (is there really such a term) country where I am also a citizen(In fact, 2), if I am found to be qualified to fill that post. I don't even look like most of them. It is only the assumption that I will be expected to have reasonably assimilated into the prevailing nuances of my adopted homeland and demonstrably become a loyal and productive member of society in good standing (The joe Igbokwe factor).

We must begin a gradual process of re-thinking our association as Nigerians, otherwise, we will remain a gathering of fair-weather friends. Nations are built when personal interests are overridden by a common dream, tethered to an unbreakable determination to make it work.

I completely understand what you said, and you made a valid point there, which is germane to the prevailing state of play in our country, but that is what is to change if this country is to rise from the perpetual failure it has become.

This election, as it stands today, is between Peter Obi and Atiku Abubakar. Tinubu has predictably relegated himself to a deserved position of irrelevance.

drlateef:
We have the evidence that nobody can controvert. Tinubu created the Lekki Free Trade Zone. He did that after reclaiming the land from sea encroachment, using his ingenuity. On that free trade zone is the Dangote Refinery, the deep sea port, the Eko Atlantic mega city, the lekki airport and so many other manufacturing and retail businesses. On it are many residential houses like Banana Island and so many other businesses. Millions of people are being employed already. Now, when we point out the achievements of Tinubu, many nitwit opposers would quickly give you a weak argument that it was because Lagos was a capital. Can any of them tell me how Lagos being former capital made Tinubu to have a vision of creating the Lekki Free Trade Zone? Can any of them tell me how Lagos being former capital made Dangote to site the biggest refinery in the Free Zone? Remember that other states had rejected the proposal of Dangote to site the refinery in their states. Can any of these losers and miserable opposers tell me how Tinubu took bribe before bringing these businesses to the Lekki Free Zone?

I am sure there is no excuse anymore from opponents of Tinubu. All that is left is hatred for Nigeria’s development in their hearts. Otherwise they would not see a visionary leader like Tinubu doing wonders in Lagos, and decide that an Obi who has no such vision or Atiku is a confirmed looter will be theur choice based on religious and tribal considerations.

Nigerians vote for Tinubu so that we can have more Lekki Free Trade zones in Nigeria. Do not vote for poor leaders who have no vision for a greater Nigeria. If you love Nigeria vote Tinubu. If you think Nigeria will forever be a zoo you can vote Ipob leader, a useless vote. If you think Nigeria can still survive another looting spree for 8 years, if you think Nigeria needs to sell all its wealth to friends of Atiku, vote for him.

Lagos-Ibadan expressway media propaganda machine. Una no dey ever rest?.

Bukola saraki who governed Kwara Twice is an Egba Man from Abeokuta

You guys should just not bring your Bad Belle Politics Of hatred and division where an Enugu Woman Cannot seek Political Office in Anambra because she is from Enugu to the SW

It is UnGodly and annoying, aren’t you all the same Igbos


Your own People are now fleeing from the East in droves as a result of the Bad Belle Politics

why will anyone want to go there?

Ordinary Market you can't go Peacefully on Monday of all days

Please If you are not interested in uniting your own People at least don’t try dividing others

We are all Nigerians, people. The day I witness an Anambra state governor of Kanuri, Tiv, Adara heritage will be the happiest day that I live. As much as I also want to witness in my lifetime, a Sokoto state governor of Ijebu, Efik, gbagyi, etc. heritage.

This is the Nigeria we must build and without which, our journey to nationhood will remain but a flittering illusion. Peter Gregory Onwubuasi Obi and Yusuf Datti baba-Ahmed are Obidiently leading the charge to that reality in Nigeria today.

Join us, become Obidient, today.

augustine77:
Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, Mr. Peter Obi on Friday suffered a major political setback as a Federal High Court sitting in Awka, capital of Anambra State, nullified the election of Victor Umeh as the LP senatorial candidate for the Anambra central zone.

Umeh and Peter Obi are from the same Anaocha local government area, and from the same Anambra Central senatorial zone

Delivering judgement in a suit filed on behalf of incumbent People's Democratic Party (PDP) senator Uche Ekwunife, by B.E.I. Nwofor, SAN, the court held that by standing for two elections in the same electoral constituency, Umeh violated the Electoral Act.

Unless the judgement is set aside by a superior court, Obi's LP will not have any candidate for Anambra Central senatorial zone in the February 25 general elections.

Last May, Umeh, who a former national chairman of the All Progressives' Grand Alliance (APGA), sought the party's senatorial ticket for Anambra Central, but but was defeated by the lawmaker representing Anaocha/Dunukofia/Njikoka federal constituency, Hon. Dozie Nwankwo.

Few days after Umeh's defeat in APGA, he moved to the LP and was subsequently declared the party's senatorial candidate.

Dissatisfied with Umeh's action, Senator Ekwunife approached the court to determine whether Umeh, who contested APGA senatorial primary election could still lay claim to being the LP senatorial candidate.

Interestingly, Umeh had in 2015 successfully challenged Ekwunife's election as Senator representing Anambra Central on the ground that she did not formally quit the All Progressives Congress (APC). At the time, Ekwunife was chairman of the Senate committee on Petroluem (Downstream).

After the Court nullified Ekwunife's election, it ordered fresh election, but barred Ekwunife's PDP from participating in the fresh exercise. Umeh emerged victorious in the re-run election in which PDP was barred from contesting.

You have to drag Peter Obi's name in what is clearly the senatorial candidate's portfolio?.
