That's why they are called colleagues not friends

You never can tell who is rooting for you or against you.

Do your job and move

nonsense. this colleague is not your friend is another way of pitching people or groups against each other. I hate it

I have nice colleagues and they are my friends. If you are unlucky to work with nasty people, please accept my condolences.

calm down Sir. what do you mean by first body?

Caveat: There's need to state that by 'north' here, I am referring to the northern mafias, Kaduna Mafia if you please, who have over the years constituted themselves as kingmakers of Nigeria whereby only the person they approve of can become president of Nigeria whether from their northern region or the south. So, by north, I'm not referring to the entire region nor the poor northern masses who are mere victims of the machinations of this mafia over the years.

Now that we have stated that, let's into the meat of this piece.

Any critical follower of politics in Nigeria will know that the high turnout of protesters in the north in the recently concluded #EndBadGovernance Protest was engineered by this northern mafia as a way of registering their frustration at how many powerless they've become since they conspired to hand power over to Tinubu; maybe because they thought he was frail and might go the Yaradua way but man seems to have gotten new life since he was sworn in.

Many may not have realized the game the north wanted to play in 2023 but I will mention it.

In 2023, this northern cabal wanted to retain power in the north through Atiku and the plan was to ensure that they make rubbish of the APC ticket to prevent a strong candidate from emerging so that Atiku's path will be smoother. This is why they wanted to useless the APC ticket by announcing Ahmed Lawan as consensus candidate. They knew nobody would vote Lawan which would leave Atiku as the most manageable option. But something happened.

Throughout their years of calculations and strategy before the 2023 elections, they never envisaged the Peter Obi. They never knew that a certain Peter Obi would go to a different party and take the eastern votes they were banking on for Atiku away from him.

When the Peter Obi wave became too much and the north saw that the Atiku project will no longer work, add Wike and his Asoebi boys’ shenanigans too, they were now faced with a choice of either allowing Peter Obi ride on his wave to victory or ‘deliver’ Tinubu, they chose Tinubu instead.

Why did they choose Tinubu?

Many factors contributed to them choosing Tinubu. First, Peter Obi is an Igbo man, a tribe they are scared of allowing get power for whatever fear they harbour. Again, Tinubu’s Muslim Muslim ticket, which was specifically chosen to deceive them and it worked, making them think they were doing Allah’s work by choosing Tinubu. Similarly, during campaigns, Tinubu seemed he was nearing his death. So, their calculation may have been that if he goes the way of Yaradua, then power will return to the region faster.

All these and other factors made them decide that Tinubu should have it and instruction was given as such which is why a character like Mahmoud Yakubu could do what he did because he was acting on instruction from his superiors already; that’s aside the money that may have exchanged hands also.

All of this is why the north feels Tinubu owes them.

Now, why are they north angry? You might ask.

1) Subsidy: Since Tinubu took power, he removed subsidy. When they talk about the vultures that were benefiting and feeding fat on subsidy payments, belive me when I trll you that most of them were northerners. Tinubu’s removal, or redirection, of subsidy payment has taken feeding bottle off their mouth and they will fight back.

2) Exchange Rate Unification: It’s common knowledge that northerners dominate the Bureau De Change market in Nigeria with claims having been made in that past that these men used to source their dollars directly from the CBN and resell at Black Market rate to make excessive profit at the expense of Nigerians. The exchange rate unification has taken food from a lot of northern Alhajis who are the real owners of these businesses.

3) Appointments: The north spent 8 years defending Buhari's nepotistic appointments and justifying them with the most irrational reasons ever heard. What they never imagined is that a time would come when they would be the ones crying against another person's nepotism. Yes, Tinubu has broken every nepotistic record set by Buhari with nearly 80% of the appointments he has made since he took power going to the Yoruba, and the north considers that an affront. They feel they deserved more from Tinubu for 'helping' him to power. Again, they feel only one of theirs can dare to be nepotistic as Buhari was. How dare a southerner?

4) Politically: Politically, Tinubu seems to have succeeded in keeping every member of that every circle away from his government like the likes of Elrufai, and they are not happy they are not inside. If anything, the reason somebody like Elrufai supported Tinubu was because he wanted to be Vice President. But with Tinubu shutting him out now, he has seen tge pathway to his presidency dimmed which would delay whatever agenda they want to achieve with power which they fail to achieve with Buhari.

5) Restructuring and Regionalism: If there’s anything the north hates, it’s the idea of Nigeria being restructured and the country going back to regionalism which they feel would greatly put them at a disadvantage as they are the biggest beneficiaries of the current dysfunctional structure. Now, during campaigns, Tinubu never said anything about restructuring but since he took power, we have seen documents flying around in the media space on how Nigeria is to be restructured with even a proposed return to regionalism. The presidency has never disowned this document which has heightened the fear of the north that their greatest fear might end up happening from someone they thought had no interest in that without realizing that they were simply played. Or maybe they have realized.

In a nutshell, the north was defeated at their own in 2023 and now they are looking for a way out.

In looking for this way out, they have started fraternizing with Peter Obi to try to convince him to be Atiku’s running mate in 2027 so that Atiku can hand over to him after 4 years.

But I write this Peter Obi to never make himself availble for such deal in 2027.

In 2027, the north must choose between Peter Obi or Tinubu.

If they fear Igbo man so much that they cannot allow him get to power then I don’t mind Southeast voting for Tinubu to continue in power. And once Tinubu eins his second tenure and has nothing to lose anymore, he would finish off everything he has eyes on - to ensure Nigeria is completed restructured with a return to regionalism.

So, in conclusion, in 2027, the north must choose between southern candiates and no southerner, not much Peter Obi, should help save them from the misery they got themselves into by themselves.

I’ve seen early signs of them trying to throw the Jonathan joker in 2027 but that’s story for another day as we watch events unfold.

Pengiun is a bird of reason!

you can't stop thinking about Peter Obi. I bet you see him your dreams every night

youngrichnigga:
Should we tell him 😂😂😂

no, let us wait for him to suffer small

Sapasenator:


It was actually said by Robert Mugabe not Chuba.

there was something Queen Elizabeth said about El Rufai, I am waiting for that thread. I'm surprised no one has posted it

sukar886:
Chaiiii,tinubu should fotget about 2027

Chuba did not say shit

Next thread will be "What Tafewa Balewa said about Sunday Igboho"

Omo if Seun deletes useless threads on nairaland e, more than 80% of this website will disappear

abeg leave people to wear what dey want o!

Bobloco:
Dangote is saying more words under this current government simply because the economic policies of the present government have been catastrophic. 

catastrophic a.k.a not favouring him as he planned.

anyway, they will eventually come to agreement, and corruption will continue, and the rest of us will continue to pay for it.

I woke up 2 days ago and noticed my laptop is showing me this. I haven't used it for a week so I am wondering what could have been wrong here.

Today is even the worst. Once it starts booting and it will shut down. It will keep booting and shutting down by itself.

your hard disk might be on it's way out. try to backup important files and get a replacement

They should understand that naira has lost its value.

because of wreckless spending and policies.

Nigeria can be better, but it will always be a dream because the environment we have created for ourselves.

Nigerians should listen to the appeal of the practitioners of the oldest profession in the world . Remember , they were curing conji long before any known physician started curing ailments and diseases.

you are funny. they actually did cure some things

See this bush guy forming woke...I just aired my opinion and u r jumping on it like a Love Machine...For African setting e normal for man to dey dress like woman?

whether you call it woke o, bush man o, Love Machine abi african setting, na you know. you can not murder someone because they dressed in a way you don't like.

Any culture or group that supports the death of someone because of what they chose to wear, needs to evaluate themselves properly.

casualobserver:


According to how good parents raise good children bad is bad. No ifs buts or maybes. And coming here to justify it in any form is just exhibiting bad parenting and upbringing.

Even criminals know what they are doing is bad. So someone who does not see criminality as bad and has the effrontery to justify criminal behaviour is a psychopath and a danger to society. Morally bankrupt!!!

Perhaps you never had a moral compass…..again a reflection of upbringing.

if e pain you, go remove all the criminals from government because nothing you type here will change the fact that Nigerians like to pretend they are good and holy (exactly what you are doing) but in reality they are the worst of the bunch.

Warrior99:
Yorubas need to adopt this asap in the South West!

see them. after una go say south africa is bad. Nigerians are too bad in matters of racism (abi wetin una dey call am)

this is very bad

casualobserver:


We have a saying that basically translates as follows: a child who is not raised well at home will be raised by the streets.


What is right is right whether everyone else chooses the path of wrong.


You statement is a statement of a child who was not properly raised!

maybe according to how you were brought up, you think anyone that did not follow the same was not properly raised. na you sabi. what I know is that Nigerians are worst than south africans when it comes to cases like this and Nigerians do even worse to their fellow citizens.

Christistruth02:



It is important that men are men and women are women

Not the other way round

Nigerians are already dealing with enough confusion

The Bible says the Holy Ghost is not an Author of Confusion

it is more important that men and women are free to wear what they want.

Medipharm:
Wise decision....We expected this decision earlier but better late than never. If possible sef the family should relocate to another country.
South Africans are evil, never seen a worse African country eviler than them. Their envy and hatred against fellow Africanz knows no bounds.

haha, nigerians should keep quiet about any talk concerning racism, nepotism, bigotry (or whatever fancy name you call it) If this girl was contesting for beauty show in Lagos, they will remind her one of her parents is not yoruba.

casualobserver:


Not everyone elevates criminals like you.

i don't have to, there are millions of Nigerians doing it already. I'm telling you what they do... see for yourself

and it will pain you because it is the new normal

stainzvill:
Good riddance of evil behaviour

what is evil about cross dressing?

stop thinking like a primate

na cloth dem dey wear, them no kill person

people like you will sexually assault a girl because she wears sexy clothes in public

you have to learn that the fact a girl wears skimpy clothes or cross dresses is not an invite for your attention. you can always ignore them and go about your day.

Christistruth02:
What a Pity

Casual Cross dressing should be banned

Why would any man wear a woman's swimsuit
When mens swimming shorts are far easier to put on?

leave cross dressers alone o. Nigerians bother themselves with things that are not important

casualobserver:
Lesson here is that do not think that the crimes you commit or the path you take to “success” will not one day have repercussions on your children.

I always remember something I overheard from an uncle of mine when I was young. They day you join politics is the day you will know your family history. There are other versions like the day you join politics is thee day you will learn of your mothers ex boyfriends.

The meaning of this is the day you are successful or become a public figure of any sort is the day your secrets or your family secrets will be exposed. Before you go public, especially in a hostile environment make sure your background is clean. And when your family are telling you don’t do something and you don’t understand why, it could be because they know something you don’t but can’t tell you. I am sure the girl herself did not know her mother forged her birth papers.

Haha, those days are long gone. Right now it is the criminals that make it big and everyone celebrates them. Not only Nigeria politics, but other countries too. Keep your honour system to your own family business... if you want.

RaptorX:
This bloody woke Westerners deserves whatever hell they are catching, another woke ideology they will regret ever pushing is feminism and so called women's right. They are in serious trouble, because you can't practice feminism and not have a serious demographic collapse and a foreigner takeover.

Feminism allowed women to be whatever they want and a lot of them still chose to be prostitutes.

GodisStriking:
During the reign of King Louis XVI, homosexuality was considered a criminal offense in France and was punishable under law. The Napoleonic Code, which was implemented during the same period, included provisions against sodomy and other sexual acts considered to be unnatural or contrary to the natural order.

As for feminism, the French aristocracy generally held a conservative view of women's roles in society. The prevailing view was that women were expected to be obedient to their husbands and to prioritize their roles as wives and mothers. Feminism as a movement advocating for women's rights and equality did not exist in its modern form during this period.

This onlyfans era really opened another dimension in our society. Feminism allowed women to be whatever they want and a lot of them still chose to be prostitutes

Salewa97:
Reno don dey talk truth!

Obi's politics no dey help the North at all, just dey bring wahala.

See how Dangote move his refinery to Lagos, na because of peace wey dey there.

Northerners need to open their eyes and see the bigger picture, no be all this drama wey Obi dey cause. Reno dey speak sense, make dem listen.

you know there is a refinery in Kaduna. why e no dey work?
