He will be the first Indian PM

toprealman:

I don't know what you mean by true democracy. This guy is 42, in Nigeria, his agematesare singing the praise of candidates all above 60.

They don’t do general elections. The senate just sit in a room and pick the next PM. Imagine naija senate picking who will be the next president? Tinubu for just easily pay the whole senators

vivalavida:
See the effect of globalisation.
An Indian man is on the verge of becoming the prime minister of the United Kingdom. If you rewind the clock and tell men of old such, they will never believe but here it is about playing out before our very own eyes.

Yeah, but I don't know why I keep rooting for Boris. I just like the guy.




Afa bro, longest time. How is Lagos treating you bro?

Only persons above the 100 threshold can progress to the next stage and if there is only one, he succeeds outgoing PM Elizabeth Truss. Sunak, a fierce rival of Johnson's lost to Truss in the race for 10 Downing Street, about 7 weeks ago.

if this Rishi become Minister it’s going to be a historic thing in the UK to have the first Indian person as their prime minister, I also expect them to bully him whenever there’s a little flop, I pray he scale through and also perform well in office

Why cant they go for general election?
The electorate should decide who should be the prime minister.

jchioma:
Finally, an Indian would become pm of Great Britain. I'm sure that the queen will turn in her grave on the event that this turns out a reality.

Dude is British, just from an India background,
No body cares about your roots, his Wikipedia says he is British, the party thinks he can do a good job, the British people in his constituency voted for him to become MP, no body gives a damm about origin and ethnics,.. Even the Queen I her grave don't care, so you shouldn't.

juman:

Because, their party won the general election,
If buhari should resign, will there be a general election??
His vice yemi takes over..
But in a parliamentary system like the UK, once the prime minster resigned or impeached all the elected
MPs from the ruling party vote for the next prime minster

They do general election..
Boris won a general election.. They practice a parliamentary system of government, the reason it is because Boris resigned, so his party will then vote for who will be the next prime minster not all the senators or MPs as they are called in the UK that votes for the next prime minster. But the MPs of the ruling party.
If it was Nigeria and we were practicing the parliamentary system of government, then if bihari was elected as the prime minster by the people, if the is then force to resign or impeached the ruling APC party senators will then vote among themselves and bring a new prime minster. Until their full tenure expires, and if needs be that a primes minister is change the APC will continued to be the party to elects a prime minster till the next general electiom comes

Rishi for the win. It's his turn.

This is not the first time for a foreign national to become a British PM.

Benjamin Disraeli, an Israeli, was a British PM way back in the 20th century.

AuthegaPRIMUS:

Are you saying emi lokan for Rishi?

GCFRin2034:
Well an Indian person was always likely to be the first foreign PM of the UK

Boris grand father was from Turkey

Indians have fought tooth and nail for UK since world war 1 I think they deserve it

Pymetrics:
Rishi Sunak sounds Indian or Punjab

Punjab na where e Dey? Same india na lol, as you put or, lol

They dont do a traditional generation.

The UK uses a First Past The Post electoral system where the country is divided into 650 voting counties, called constituencies, each represented by a corresponding Member of Parliament (MP).

On polling day, voters place an X next to their choice and the candidate with the most votes at the end of the night’s count is then instated as that constituency’s MP.

The party with the most elected MPs is then left to form the ruling Government (the Executive) and that party’s leader becomes prime minister. So if it was Nigeria, a rich APC member like Tinubu can bribe the whole party.

Iseoluwani:
This sunak is a muslim,

I dont have much to say but in the next 10 years, Muslims will dominate UK PARLIAMENT
THIS IS JUST A STRATEGIC PLOY TO CONVERT UK. UK BETTER BE WARNED

devil continue ooo

SUNAk is a Hindu... They ain't that foolish yet to allow a Muslim be their P.M

budaatum:


Of Indian origin. He must be British to be an MP, and if he becomes PM I hope he is a lesson to those tribal Nigerians who refuse to vote competency.

If i may ask, who is the competency?

He was elected into his position remember?

FaceTanke:
Is he Indian?

Pakistan. I think born or emigrated to the UK at early age.

MuslimIgbo:
An Indian man

Can a fool àní man or yoruba be the chairman of any OSU REGION? IMPOSSIBLE.


UK COULD ONLY PULL THIS BECAUSE THEY HAVE A STRONG STRUCTURE.
WHOEVER IS PM DOESN'T REALLY MATTER...

It does matter, the PM govt sets structure,plans, what they want to do and so on, just that they don't wield impunity as seen in country like Nigeria where President does things unchallenged

An Indian is presently the vice president of USA and now, another is about to become prime minister of England.

Interesting times for Indians.

vickydevoka:

Nice question. When last has someone from badagry ruled lagos

See senseless question
This one think say YORUBAS are divided and like OSU ALUSI IPOB JEW PIGs.
WHERE IS FORMER DEPUTY GOVERNOR FROM

Yorubas are believe to be most educated and intelligent people, yet an unintelligent and uneducated man is ruling them without anybody saying anything. Osibanjo wanted to try him he kept him in his small position. Home full of Agberos.

That is it. We don't have strong structures, what we have are strong individuals. The president of Nigeria is too powerul. More powerul that all the arms of government put together, more powerul than his electorate, more powerul than courts, it is why ethnic groups fight over who rules.
If we don't do something about it, Nigeria may collapse

This would be a great achievement. I do not know how conservative UK would be able to stomach the fact that their PM is a person of color, who is neither a christian nor an LGBT nor someone with allegiance to Church of England.

But the Sunak guy looks and talks smart. He may likely lead the tories to another victory in the general election in the next two years. He seems strong and determined. Lord Steimer of Labour party is not yet ready to challenge the conservative for the PM role.

CzarChris:
Yeah, but I don't know why I keep rooting for Boris. I just like the guy.




Afa bro, longest time. How is Lagos treating you bro?

I dey baba.
We dey battle the buhari pandemic here. Make God epp us to survive this calamity.

zztop:


Yes they can and did until 1947 and an Italian lady, Sonia Ghandhi almost became their Prime Minister and was leader of the opposition party.

Nearly cannot kill a bird. Until such happens, it never happened.

budaatum:


He's got less than 2 years to the next election. Enough time for a miracle.

He will surely be needing that miracle.

Rishi sunak won't last ..UK wey racism dey dere blood Dem go frustrate am just wait

Gerrard59:

You have to look at it in the content of the argument. If there was a 0% probability of her becoming Prime Minister then I don't think she will be leader of the opposition. Theoretically it was possible!

Sonia Gandhi declines Indian prime ministership
