candidtalk: Mr.Myopia, the only thing constant in life is change and this is why change catches many, like you by surprise. Only those prepared for change, like Jagaban, benefit when it arrives.
Buharis story disproves your talk and thinking. He desperately sought to become President over decades. Ironic it is same Tinubu, always a visionary and change agent, who helped Buhari achieve this.
Nothing and no one can stop change. As it is elsewhere so shall it be in Nigeria. Just a matter of time and evolution. In the future, as Nigeria becomes more meritorious , it is those who want and work for a position who will get it.
Buhari lost all hope too.....after the third attempt he gave up on running until circumstances changed....intact had it been Jonathan did not run and brought in a popular Northern candidate Buhari won't have won as the northern votes would have been split as in the case of Buhari Vs Yaradua in 2008. History.
Presidency in Nigeria has to do with lots of factors that defies strategy
Simbrixton: igbos have always voted against yoruba interests
Was MKO not Yoruba?
He won in Anambra He won over 40 percent across the rest 4 igbo states even when Ogbonanya Onu was a running mate to Tofa. Leave sentiment and face facts.
Igbos still patronise lots a yourba businesses even more than the North ask landlords and. School owners.
Igbos still marry yourbas till tomorrow.
Face facts.
As for me I would rather vote an Adewunmi the bright man of African development Bank than an unscrupulous person like Tinubu sorry
seguntijan: "I do not admire Tinubu because he is a saint. I do not admire Tinubu because he is from the south. I do not admire Tinubu because he is a Yoruba. If I want saints, I will proceed to heaven not on earth. Every human is fallible. I admire Tinubu because; He saved Nigeria from the danger of falling into "one party state". He has nurtured many renowned National successors. He listened to the voice of the masses to surrender his personal ambition at the most critical moment. He strategically terminated PDP 60 years life spam in 16 years. The robust critic and critique we are enjoying today is because Tinubu aligned himself to the masses to return the power to them. Tinubu has the option of joining the PDP elites to hold us hostage for another decade but he gave his all to the masses to dethrone the elites. Political juveniles believed that APC won because of the votes from the North. No!!!, APC victory was cemented the day PMB and Asiwaju resolved to work together. Asiwaju and PMB almost became a Nomadic by visiting every human that can help midwife Nigeria salvation. Those Nomadic Almajiri walk later brought salvation to us. God willing, PMB is the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Anybody, any cabal, any Viju milk activist, attempting to humiliate Asiwaju must have me to contend with. An average PDP man is sad with Asiwaju because he brought them to their knee. If anyone thinks that bringing down Asiwaju is his project, that mission will not only crash but it will boomerang. Don't tell me he is overbearing, your "underbearing" mentors were nowhere to be found when this Country was lying critically at the intensive care of the universe. Recall my first line, Asiwaju is not a saint. Stop demonising what you admire out of envy. Even your mentors admire him. He owns Lagos! I hear you! Ask your grand father and parents how they acquired your so called "family land". Is it God that allocated it to them? You are terrorizing your neighbours and village with your kpof-kpof kobo yet you criticise a man that is naturally addicted to technocrats irrespective of their tribe or Religion. Hmmmmm. I don talk am ooo, Asiwaju is not a political office holder oooo. Please let him be. He is evil, I agree, but we need more of him than your saintly specie. Dear Asiwaju, the gentle stride of a tiger is not a symbol of a cowardice"....
What you failed to realise is that PDP is APC and APC is PDP. We still have a One party state bro
Tinubu stayed in the opposition because he knew it was the surerer way to Aso rock even if it's as a VP under Buhari.
Power falls on the laps of people who never planned for it: ask Yaradua or Jonathan or Osinbajo.
This is what those that understand politics in the South normally tell the Igbos, SW don't play hate kind of politics, even SS don't play it.
After Abiola's saga of 1993 in which he won in all the regions in Nigeria (except SE of course) but wasn't allowed to rule (only the SE people celebrated that unfortunate incidence), Yoruba went back to the drawing board and had a major stake in PDP, AD, ANPP and other parties. They did not see any party as "Hausa or Igbo party", they continued to build bridges everywhere. In all the parties.
The parties realized that Yorubas will sell on the presidency ticket because of the 1993 experience with Abiola and they decided to support Yoruba candidates in their primary elections (they contested against Hausas, igbos and other tribes in their various parties but Yoruba candidates won). So in the main election we had Yoruba vs Yoruba. That is the sophistication we are talking about the westerners, they know politics.
Now compare the above strategies to the Igbos political ideology in politics.
Meanwhile, your last statement is the reason why I keep telling most igbos to give up on analyzing politics. You all are too emotional than rational. And you keep dragging SS into your folly.
How old were you in 1993 because clearly you didn't know that SDP winning Anambra and Enugu and got 40 to 45 percent votes in Abia and Imo despite their son, Ogbonanya Onu was the running mate of Tofa.
Of course this pattern of voting of Igbos outside Igbo land reflect this....e shock you
Simplyleo: As too early as it is to start campaigning for 2023, noise makers are busy making their useless noise while the jagaban calculates the perfect route to navigate. And while at that, he observes a pin drop silence.
The jagaban himself The master planner The slayer of Pdpeegs The destroyer of obj & athifku combined The only god & terror of ipob miscreants
May ipob lunatics continue to worship you more than they do lamidi cownu.
May your name never leave their mouth.
The coast keeps getting clearer and clearer by each passing minute of the hour.
If you are a good student of history you'd know that no one really masterminds to become a governor in Nigeria how much a president: it always fell on their lap!!
From Jonathan to Yaradua to even Obasanjo himself who was on death row as at 1997.
What was the strategy of Osinbajo to become a VP which Tinubu was personally denied?
Or the strategy of Ambode or Sanwo Olu....there were older commmiosoners who served under Tinubu but today we're. they
It's worse in a state like Imo state where the likes of Ararume has ran for the record 5 times but the likes of unknown Ohakim and Rocha's clinched it at first sitting... I didn't forget Atiku or MKO.
Those pushing Tinubu just want his favours and the money they believe he makes from Lagos state.
The Oba of Benin, Ewuare II, on Saturday, said his prayers sustained governor Godwin Obaseki for four years as governor of the state. He stated this in Benin when governor Obaseki led some governors, senators and other top ranking official of the Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP) to his palace on a courtesy call.
He said: “I remembered when I visited governor Obaseki in his office, he asked me to pray for him to be able to complete his tenure in office. “And I did and today, he has not been impeached despite the ups and downs and I thank my God and my ancestors for answering my prayers.” According to him, plans were on top gear to call the Edo State Council of Traditional Rulers and Chiefs to pray for a peaceful election in the state.
“God and his ancestors have been answering my prayers whenever I prayed and the forthcoming governorship election will not be an exception,” he said. Oba Ewuare II said the Palace was always non partisan, but prayed for the person who has the intention of providing good leadership for the people of the state and create employment “so that the people will be able to put foods on their tables.” Earlier, the National Chairman of the party,
Chief Secondus Uche, told the Benin monarch that they were at the palace to seek his blessings and permission to go on with their campaign in the state. In his speech, governor Godwin Obaseki told the monarch that he decided to visit the palace to seek his blessings before continuing with his campaign. Thugs clash at Oba palace Meanwhile, thugs suspected to be loyalists of All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate, Ize-Iyamu Osagie and that of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)’s flag bearer, clashed around the palace of the Oba of Benin on Saturday. It was learnt that there was exchange of gun fire by the loyalists of the duo, leading to destruction of vehicles while several persons sustained injuries.
It was gathered that crisis started when supporters of Obaseki were chanting pro Obaseki slogan while those loyal to the APC candidate, who were at the palace waiting for some APC chieftains allegedly invited to a function at the palace, were also chanting slogans to disparage the governor. It was further gathered that after the governor and his entourage had left the palace, the loyalists engaged in a fight, with the APC – who were more in number – having the upper hand. It was learnt that the loyalists of PDP then ran to the Ogbe Stadium, the venue of the flag off of the campaign and informed their members who stormed the ring road area to engaged the APC supporters.
Source told our reporter that several persons of both side were injured while many vehicles were destroyed. It, however, took the intervention of the police to bring the situation under control.
Alexgman1: NAIRALANDERS, There is this very pretty fair lady who lives nearby and always comes to my house to jist, watch DSTV, sometimes play scrabble & chess. As we attend thesame church.
But she doesnt reject drink or food each time i ask or offer to entertain her. Infact she now enters my kitchen freely.

This pandemic is hitting me hard & its not getting funny.
Uyi168: .... Ecclesiasties 9:10:, Whatever your hand fineth to do, do it with all thy might. There u have the Bible verse that supported masturbation..
abu12: he is saying the truth. IBO's are wicked to themselves and they don't accommodate other religion and tribes. most IBO's come to north, even after the civil war, and they make their money. they go back home with their money and come back with their younger brother's to make money also.
but, they can't allow a northerner to breathe in IBO land. how many northerner or southwest have you heard of or seen making it big in IBO land? if southeast is conducive for other tribe , those doing business there will invites their brother's to come. but the revised is the Case. they will rubb u off.
You contradict yourself.
If igbo hate themselves why does he go and bring his brother, whom you say he hates, to join him to make money.
Igbos empowers themselves more any tribes....that is how they have fought poverty despite without much government participation
OsuAmaka: Reno Omokriminal has consistently mastered the art of baiting 'dem piglets to tongue clean his ass all the way up. For all I care, Piglets from the other side could allow some bunch of senior swines play ping pong with their father's balls as much as it satisfies their quest of hate and bitterness. Fun fact - You''ve got nothing on the Presidential or VP seat come 2023.

**MODIFIED** Please my fellow Nigerians. Let's be awake, We have less than 15,000 active cases in Nigeria. As at yesterday, the media report over 26,000 cases. And we get scared forgetting that that 26,000 cases contains both Discharged Patients and Dead Victims. Subtract the Discharged Cases and Death recorded, the active cases are just less than 15k

OZAOEKPE: ouse in Rockville, Maryland, United States, purchased by a former governor of Oyo State, Abiola Ajimobi, in 2016 for $1,347,200m -- N522,713,600m (N388 per USD) -- has been uncovered. The residential building located at 10821 Symphony Park Drive, which attracts an annual tax of $18,198 -- N7,060,824m --was purchased by Ajimobi during his second term in office as governor of the state in 2016. According to findings by SaharaReporters, the purchase of the house in America is in gross violation of the code of conduct laws of Nigeria, which forbids serving public officials from operating bank accounts and purchasing property outside the country.
It was also gathered from sources at the Code of Conduct Bureau that the property was not listed among assets declared by the former Oyo governor until his tenure in office elapsed in 2019.
Also, checks with top real estate players in the US indicated that the Maryland property of Ajimobi was now worth at least $1.6m -- N620,800,000m. The revelation comes days after Ajimobi died at the First Cardiology Hospital in Ikoyi, Lagos, as a result of Coronavirus complications.
Before his demise, the late former governor had been embroiled in a bitter feud with the Oyo State Government headed by Seyi Makinde over the revocation of 48 plots of land belonging to him. According to the state government, the revocation became necessary after the property violated its land administration laws.
Unwilling to lose the choice property without putting up a brave fight, Ajimobi took the matter to court where it remained until he died last week.

MuttleyLaff: Whats your problem? Why are you so ever truculent, hmm? The guy OP, is talking about try to be sensitive whenever drawing up past escapades because they might be people in the audience still trying to deal with the past of theirs they aren't proud of and so shoved to the remotest part of their mind so not to relive or remember it and you've gone gung ho asking him, if its wrong for followers of Jesus Christ to admit they too had a sin-fillled past like every one else.
How you managed to overlook or ignore the intro "There should be a limit to what a preacher says about his past life especially while preaching..." is baffling. Limit, fyi, means boundary(ies)
