patrickmuf: You're being clever by a half...Are we talking about the same Governors that use the police to rig elections and harass political opponents?
We are not disputing the ability of Nigerians to abuse and harass. But you are not suggesting these illegalities be legalized through the instrument of governance?. This is what you are suggesting, and in the correction of same, and in upholding the principle of "legal State", I referred you to the constitution.
If you want governors to be held accountable for security in the states, Nigeria's constitution must be amended to reflect that position. Period!.
patrickmuf: The same police Governors use to rig elections and harass their political opponents? How come the Governors only remember that they have no control over the police when the lives of the poor masses are involved?
Let me also ask, when Wike invited the military to deal with residents of Oyigbo, was he the President then? South East Governors and the people should take a stand or watch this grow into something else...
Buhari decides what the police should engage or not through his IG. He also controls this outcome in the funding and defunding of the various police units and formations.
And, until Nigeria decentralizes policing, no other person than their central commander-in-chief can be held responsible for security in the states and local governments.
Iykenuwa: I'll send 3k airtime to any phone number you send to me.
I love this.
It is fine, brother. You may give to a neighbor in need, or buy flip-flops for a child who has to walk around barefooted. My campaign is for a better, compassionate Nigeria. I am immensely blessed to learn that mine is not a lone voice. Thank you for the offer.
Osun state fell to PDP only recently. The incumbent governor na Tinubu relative. That, few months to a presidential election Tinubu is a candidate in.
What we see in Lagos today is the most attendance Tinubu can hope to achieve in a solidarity march anywhere in Nigeria. And, this is in his self-acclaimed Lagos. Recall that Obi did just as much or much better in the same Tinubu's Lagos.
Here's the thing. If you have need to pay people to attend your rallies, speak on your behalf, and advocate for you, it is fair to say that your candidacy does not enjoy a popular mandate. The people's mandate. Peter Obi is the exact opposite.
The handwriting is clearly on the wall. Tinubu is a third tier candidate in this election. Those who are propagating him knows this much, and are at their wits end regarding what else they can throw up in support of this unsellable candidate.
As it now stands, the real fight is between Peter Obi and the north's Atiku Abubakar. A hegemonic northern Oligarchy, minus North central nationalities, and Southern nationalities minus Tinubu's groupies. It is suicide to cut off your nose to spite your face, people.
This is the time to close ranks. If you are still supporting a candidate whose chance of winning this election is almost zero just to spite Igbos, you are your own enemy. Nigeria today is not about Igbo and Yoruba. It is now about our collective survival not just as southerners or northerners as the case may be, but the need to enable the continued existence of our country as an intact, justice and equity respecting entity. Justice, equity and progress in peace and security to all of her people.
At the end of the day, we all go to the same market. The price of garri, beans and petrol remains uniform for all of us north or south. If we fail to make the right decision today, na all of us go suffer am as we have been doing before now.
We need to do the right thing for us and our families. Join the grassroot movement for a better tomorrow for all of us. Become Obidient today.
lhordspy: Of all bullcraps have been quoted with today, i read yours from start to finish. But my time wasted wasnt even justified. My god!
You typed lot of thing without making a single sense. Sorry sir.
You were contradicting yourself over and over again. And some lines werent clear or maybe i just dont get it.
Let me just assume most of what you typed. Firstly you said the invasion of cuba was justified, because they have the right to fend off snake, which is russia romance with Cuba....right? And you also said the Russia invasion wasnt justified by trying to also fend off snakes too of their backyard like the united state did. Right?
Before i reffer you to your hypocrisy...
You said ukraine will never attack russia. So russia should have allow the romance with NATO, spearheaded by US continue? And maybe also starts developing and bringing in biological and nuclear weapons on russia backyard, right?? Good.
Now let me ask, is cuba planning on attacking United state before United state invaded it at first that failed and also threaten to invade it even 'quarantined' them... More like declaring a no fly zone after russia started partnership with them.
So many question to ask you.. Like i dont even get you or even know how to tag you.
Is delusional Denial Hypocrisy Blind by reality Or just pretending to never know Or just never like russia..
So manh things. I don tire for you. Headache dey worry me self.
Sure. You appear to lack the intellectual capacity to engage basic facts civilly. I believe you can make your points without constantly attacking and insulting others, that way you may begin to sound coherent.
If you believe I evaluated you in error, and you think you're actually capable of a civilized and intellectual interrogation of the events you referenced, please take my offer to a debate and open a separate thread in benefit thereof, and mention me.
That said, I must admit that it is futile to debate world politics in an unbiased manner. We are all equally entitled to our subjective opinion.
The USA, Russia, United Kingdom, France, Germany, etc, are all imperialist predators. They enslaved us and continue to do so to this day. It beats me to comprehend why Nigerians are drinking panadol over people who do not give a rat's behind about them.
Ukrainians will enslave any one of you if they get a chance, and so will Russians too. I no get strength to follow anyone discuss Whiteman quarrel abeg. Make we enjoy the weekend.
Corridon: Kunle my neighbor told me the reason why they initially postponed it was because of price they will pay. MC Oluomo was proposing to pay 2k each for anyone that attended but people flatly rejected it until he agreed to make it 3k. Now many people are volunteering to be there. Kunle said he will be there with Segun by 6 am for the money.
lhordspy: United state be acting like an evil First wife jittering all around fakely, just to appear they do care about the stability of the house after they must have wickedly and secretly instigated a fight between the second wife and the husband. Hypocrites.
It is funny how sane people still support such an hypocrital altitude of this evil US.
The same United state that threatened to invade Cuba if the Russians established any military set-up in cuba near United state.
It is the same United state going around secretly setting up military bases in Ukraine near Russia and in Taiwan near China, which may gives room to the establishment of biological and nuclear weapons being installed near Russia and china. There were confirmed traces of biological weapons in ukraine already which prompt Russia to start their 'special operations' before it gets out of hand.
Same hypocrital US that almost caused a nuclear war confrontation during the Cuban missille crises, threatening to nuke cuban because of Russia installing military base in cuba are still the same One crying and wailing that Russia is threatening to nuke ukraine, because of same reasons they also threatened Cuba.
Is that not hypocrisy?
View the picture below and confirm yourself, or you can read more extensively on cuban missile crises and bays of pig invasion. I will also drop the link below.
Like i promised, i wont stop until i emancipates you ignorant ones from the shackles of western invisible chains. That they made you guys completely brainwashed and turned into a zombie, whereby they can now remote control your minds through mainstream media propaganda and fake news. Allowing you only see what they want you to see and know.
You're right about ignorance, but the only ignorance I see is yours. Obviously, you are writing from Ajamgbadi therefore beclouded by the belief that the world has not moved in from the 1940's and 60's.
Search through my posts here this week and learn why an irresponsibily territory grabbing and eating Russia cannot be left on its current dangerous trajectory. Where will it end?. Poland?, Germany?.
For you to learn, this is as much an economic war as we all accused the USA over it's armed intervention in Iraq. We cannot cheer Russia on while she attracts her neighbor, a sovereign state because the sit on worlds 4th largest gas deposit.
It is the possibility of Ukraine joining the EU and NATO, then becoming Europe major gas supplier that is now maiming and killing Ukrainians by Russia. This is what you support.
The USA is absolutely correct in their aversion to the Soviets stationing missiles in Cuba. Why don't you go get snakes and feed then inside your spare room?.
Ukraine never attacked Russia, and would never have. Russia did.
So, who is the ignoramus here, you, or the people you're ignoramously insulting?.
Mrs Bello in her Abuja residence, was seen cruising in 2022 Mercedes Maybach worth millions of Naira. The interior is giving everything luxury… @rashidayahayabello
Is she handicapped or has 2 heads?. What is wrong with all of you brainless sycophants in this country?.
Due to the ASUU strike, I started working at a cyber cafe to support my mum. The pay was not commensurate with my work but I did it anyway to avoid seeing a see finish and build my skills.
Last week, I posted the picture of my preferred candidate on my WhatsApp status and I didn't know my boss saw the post.
The following day, he started giving me an attitude. I thought I did something wrong and I approached him and he said nothing is wrong and that I should continue my job.
All of a sudden, I saw a new person yesterday and he told me that my service is no longer needed and that I don't mean well for the nation.
I was surprised and I started begging him and he told me that how can I support this candidate. I left angry and I wanted to ask you all, please. Isn't this injustice?
Finesse247: Adamu Abdullahi, APC chairman with Iyorcha Ayu, PDP Chairman at Solomon Lar's book launch in Abuja today. This is part of PDP calendar of activities. Seeing APC chairman here shows that once a PDP always a PDP. See how they are romancing themselves in one chair, enjoying themselves together but na you wey be ordinary follower dey fight because of them.
If you are a follower fighting your friends, destroying your contacts, burning down your bridges because of Politicians. Think twice. Meanwhile why is Adamu saying APC will lose without APC governors. Why can't he talk positively. Or is he working for PDP? https://dailytrust.com/adamu-without-governors-apc-will-lose-2023-presidential-poll
What part of what he said is untrue?. Who will loot state coffers to pay the hired march participants, fund the already DOA campaign, etc?.
Racoon: The volte-face is not unconnected to the feud in the PDP where Omehia has taken side with the PDP flagbearer, Atiku Abubakar who has been in a running battle with the Rivers helmsman.
Exactly! However, Governor Wike must know that all these his tantrums will never take him anywhere. Infact they will be the stepping stone to his political downfall. They north has given him a piece of their mind on his hardline stance against Atiku in so much that the latter robed the south in PDP of gaining the ticket to contest for the presidency.
However, Wike should know clearly, the north would never have voted him as president were he to clench the PDP ticket. Tambuwal treachery against him is a pointer. Peter Obi saw the unfolding charade and left early.
Mazi Nnamdi Kanu the living prophet. Did he not warn Wike regarding Tambuwal and his pandering to the soulless Fulani.
post=117321040: As seen on the Frontpage of NAIRALAND.COM 5 minutes ago. Thanks for giving us all the juicy details of Political News all over the federation Nairaland
Thanks
I’m not sure what to think about anyone who will want to happen this calamity on our country Nigeria, by supporting this man's fraudulent aspiration to ruin whatever is still left of our national existence and cohesion. I'd suggest a reexamination of your values, if y'all still have any left.
thebosstrevor1: Obi is the best candidate to lead Nigeria says his supporters.
Obi was former governor in anambra, if he was that good as a governor, why are you not moving to Anambra state to find for jobs and also to leave a good life.
I should ask my Yoruba friends, who are not residents of Lagos, but are from Lagos. Not sure how Tinubu's magic missed them, since everything he touches turns gold.
He may start by returning to the paradise he created, and have its hospitals care for his ailment.
Tonygeesm: Stupid government.wey no dey regard the rules of law
ASUU has been served the same meal borrowed from Gowon's playbook. This is Nigeria's Gestapo way of dealing with matters whose formation and existence they are also culpable in. What's at issue is the lack of trust on both sides. In other words, Nigerians do not trust themselves. What plays out in our national lives is what also plagues us privately.
ASUU, lick your wounds and move on as those whom Gowon served his poisoned meal did and are now better for it.
candidtalk: Lol. Why did same Ojukwu contest to lead Nigeria after he had needlessly sent millions of Igbos to their demise with his insistence that it must be "Biafra or death" ?
When will you hateful people wake up to note the biggest problem of the Igbo man is his fellow Igbo man?
Read my submission again. If your in-DNA hate and jealousy will permit.
Moh247: The Macaroni guy might not even know where Anambra is on a map
Him na real Yoruba wey get sense. I no blame una urchins sha, Na Igbos carry the blame.
Like say Ndigbo heeded Ojukwu's advice to halt further investment in the west, and move their massive holdings across the River Niger when they were busy building and populating Lagos markets, industrial estates and their substantial Real Estate holding ancestral failures like una no go see mouth talk.
It's not late by any measure though. What we neglected to do yesterday can be fixed tomorrow. Una go still travel 5 hours come Oba, Nnewi, Aba, Oji, etc buy things to sell at Oshogbo, Ibadan, Oyo town, etc.
Your water and port blackmail will fail sooner than y'all think. Feel me?.
