mrvitalis: Atiku should stop being stupid and Openly declare he would do one term and hand over to Obi
Thinking you can manipulate the man is stupidity
Atiku/Obi would defeat Tinubu before 12 forget jokes
Do you actually know what stupid means
Who rescued Obi from political wilderness in 2019 after Obiano made him an IDP?
jameshankss: Arguing that Obi’s presidential bid would only work in favour of Tinubu, Soludo said, “Indeed, if I were Asiwaju Tinubu, I would even give Peter Obi money as someone heading one of the departments of his campaign, because Obi is making Tinubu’s pathway to victory much easier by indirectly pulling down PDP.”
Obi, according to Soludo, would only deplete the votes of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and pave the path for an APC victory.
He stated, “The current fleeting frenzy, if not checked, will cost Ndigbo dearly for years. The South-east has the lowest number of votes of any region, but it is also the only region where the presidential race might be a four-way race (it is a two-way race in the other five regions) thereby, ensuring that our votes won’t count in the making of the next president of Nigeria.
dederocs: Governors arm your hunters and employ more forests guards,stop waiting for president.
Was that how APC were doing balablu change propaganda before 2015
OredoPikin2: The National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Ahmed Tinubu, on Wednesday said President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration lacks the wherewithal to tackle the country’s security challenges.
The former Lagos State governor therefore asked Jonathan to resign as Nigerian president.
The APC chieftain spoke in Ilorin, Kwara State, during the formal declaration of Governor Abdulfatah Ahmed’s bid for second term in office.
The event was attended by former head of state and APC’s presidential aspirant, Muhammadu Buhari, former vice Abubakar Atiku and governors of Imo, Rivers, Kano, Sokoto and Edo States.
Also in attendance were – the Speaker of House of Representative, Aminu Tambuwal, Senator Bukola Saraki, former governors of Kwara and Ekiti States, Alhaji Shaaba Lafiagi and Dr. Kayode Fayemi, APC’s spokesperson, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, member, Board of Trustees of the party, Alhaji Abubakar Baraje and Speaker of the Kwara State House of Assembly, Razak Atunwa.
Tinubu said, “I saw the sea of refuges caused by the Boko Haram insurgents and the lies coming from Jonathan’s administration. They have exhibited failure, lack of capacity, vision and creativity. The lies of yesterday are what they repeat today and are what they will repeat tomorrow. They are lying to you.
"They are lying about the security, toying about the security of this country. I don’t have time to explain the logic of their lies.
But if you control the armed forces and you are the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic, why should any part of this country be under occupation? And you give us excuses every day. In any civilized country Jonathan should have resigned. But if he will not resign, he should wait for our broom, we will sweep him away. I will come back.
“This is just the endorsement of Governor Ahmed, that he will be re-elected by the grace of God with the support of you people here and those outside there. The unemployment situation will be conquered by this administration of APC. We have the vision for the security of the lives of our children.
The thieves that daily steal your money have not given you any job, they cannot create jobs and they are starving states of funds to pay workers salaries. The best thing to do is to sweep them away through broom revolution. APC is a party of the masses.
“It now behooves on you to begin a house to house campaign that this is a party of the masses.”
Mrexcell: Trump's tweets is really doing wonders in nigeria.
Wonders that 200 million Nigerians could not do.
Should we just ask Trump to take over Nigeria since we are all too clueless and corrupt in our primitive tribal ways, to make the country work for everyone
edet19892015: Unless you understand your role in society, you can never make any meaningful contribution.
According to the Greeks, they are three types of people on Earth, 1. The idiots, 2. The tribesmen, and 3. The citizens.
Studies show only 10% of Africans are citizens. The remaining 90% are either tribesmen or idiots.
1. When the Greeks used the word "Idiot", they did not use it as a curse word. Idiots are people who just don’t care. If they sit for exams, they will cheat. If they are in government they will steal.
An idiot does not care at all, if he eats bananas he throws the peels anywhere instead of putting them in a trash bin.
IDIOTS won't attend monthly neighborhood meetings. They won't pay security dues. They won't contribute to community development. Even when they see or know about something that will harm others in the community they won't report it. When they see/know/have something that will benefit their community they won't share.
In fact, Idiots don't care to register for or vote in an election, yet they complain the most. If they register to vote, IDIOTS will sell their votes for peanuts.
According to the Greeks, some societies have more idiots than tribesmen and citizens.
2. The next set of people are "Tribesmen", these are people that look at everything from the point of view of their tribe.
These are people that believe in you only if you are part of their tribe. It can be terrible to have a tribesman as a leader, he will alienate the rest.
When the Greeks talk about tribes, it’s not just about ethnicity, they also consider religion, gang membership, group membership, party membership and even cult membership as a tribe.
A great percentage of Africans are tribesmen, because they view everything from the point of view of their tribes. They trust only their tribesmen
3. The last group are "Citizens". These are people who like to do things the right way. They will respect traffic light rules even if no one is watching them.
They drive within speed limits. They respect the laws, and won’t cheat in exams. In government, they won’t steal. They are compassionate and give to others to promote their well-being.
Citizens often promote projects that benefit everyone. The Greeks called this group "The Citizens".
Some countries have more citizens than tribesmen and idiots, others have so many idiots.
A tribesman can become a citizen through orientation. And an idiot can become a citizen by training and constant enforcement of the law.
But things fall apart if you elect an idiot or tribesman to lead you if he has not been reformed.
Where do you belong? Are you an idiot, a tribesman or a citizen? Reflect on your life. Reflect about your immediate community, city, state and nation.
pansophist: The origin of death sentence for drug offences in Asia can be traced back to Europeans colonialism, and that has left a deep cut in their psyche that it carries death penalty.
When the British conquered China, they imported opium (an addictive drugs) and forced it on the Chinese people. Millions of families were ruined and the country was brought down to its knees.
I don’t want to go deep into it, but it explains why drugs is an unforgivable offence for Asians. You are reminding them a chapter of their history they hate and want to forget, all for financial greed.
Chibuike is your typical illiterate who does not read history and only believe he is a “sharp guy” and his own exceptionalism of not being caught, but here he is, being paraded like a thief that he is.
Stay away from Asia if you’re into drugs. You will die and no one will save you
I thought Asians were treated super nicely by white colonialists and that’s why they have made so much progress since the end of colonialism there.
Can it be that the white colonialists were more brutal there than they were in Africa
iamfraud: Why would Chibuike go to Thailand to engage in drug trafficking, knowing very well that the offence carries the death penalty
Don’t mind the Nigerian brother o jàre.
He should have been smart enough to do his drug business in America instead. There he could have gotten away with forfeiting some money and still end up being our president.
swaggerjack: Reno Omokri: I Challenge Tinubu To Prove If He Was Not A Drug Lord In Chicago
Originalsly: I already wrote an epistle... you wanted me to prolong it with details? You're right about Chavez ... he was doing a lot to in the poor areas ... improving the standard of living of the poor. Manduro is pretty much carrying on the same.
The US is never OK with such leaders in Third World countries.
WHY was/is the US okay with Chinese leaders doing MORE than a lot to help the poor areas, by not just improving the standard of living of the poor but also lifting hundreds of millions out of poverty, while being America’s cheap labour factory?
Was bicycle riding China not a third world country when they made themselves America’s factory?
Again, what are the details of HOW Chavez got the tyrant label but Chinese leaders did not get the tyrant label
madridguy: There is nothing Tinubu can do in the situation at hand. The same Tinubu lobby the late Ahujale for K1 to became Olori omo oba, now you think he can ask the other family to accept him as their family member again?
He said openly during his olori omo oba and his mom's burial that he is from the Fidipote family, how can he claim another family in less than three years again.
If Tinubu openly said that Buhari was expired in 2011, and four years later he packaged the same deadi body as APC change messiah, then why won’t he do the same magic for K1 in Ijebu Ode
Kemetian: NO, YOU ARE TOO PRIMITIVE IN YOUR WHITE WORSHIP.
NIGERIA IS MULTI-ETHNIC.
NOTHING WRONG WITH ROTATION WHICH ENSURES REPRESENTATION AND BALANCE, SO USE YOUR HEAD AND DON'T CRITICISE WITHOUT SENSE.
You don’t have to SCREAM by using CAPS in your posts, except you know that you are saying nothing reasonable but want to force it on people nevertheless.
I guess that you are too primitive to know that whites have ethnic groups among themselves.
madridguy: K1 should stop Ganusi to people's throne
If Tinubu’s boy can become Oniru, and his agbero enforcer MC Oluomo can try to be Oshodi king, why can’t K1 try his own luck in this APC lawless administration that is endangering our lives and property with worsening insecurity
Racoon: Appeal Court Removed ‘Illegal’ NURTW President ‘MC Oluomo’, But He Won’t Quit Office Musiliu Akinsanya, a former chairman of the Lagos State Parks and Management Committee, has continued to disregard the law in acting as national president of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), a trade union of transport workers in the country.
In November 2024, a Court of Appeal in Abuja affirmed an earlier National Industrial Court of Nigeria judgment pronouncing Tajudeen Ibikunle Baruwa as president of the union. Baruwa had served for four years and he was to be serving his second term, having been reelected in August 2023, three months to the termination of his first tenure as enunciated by the union’s constitution.
But some members of the union, led by Najeem Usman Yasin, a former president of the same union and current chairman of its Board of Trustees (BoT), disputed Baruwa’s re-election, causing the police in the Federal Capital Territory to arrest and detain him many times.
Yasin unilaterally dissolved the National Administrative Council led by Baruwa and then facilitated the setting up of a National Caretaker Committee to administer the union. At this point, Baruwa and 13 others, including the NURTW as a juristic personality, headed to the National Industrial Court.
We are too primitive in our tribal rotation and zoning system for this to happen in Nigeria, especially since Oshiomhole’s Assembly of Past Criminals, APC took over from the less corrupt PDP government.
chisomkachy: The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has withdrawn the alleged money laundering suit it filed at the Federal High Court against Lagos Speaker Mudashiru Ajayi Obasa.
Naija News understands that the anti-graft did not give any particular reason for its application for withdrawal.
Following the application to withdraw, Justice Nicholas Oweibo discharged the ‘lien/Post No Debit’ placed on Obasa’s three accounts in Standard Chartered Bank.
The accounts are (US Dollars) 0001852063; (Current) 0001852056 and (Saving) 5002309624.
The judge also set aside the ex-parte orders he made on September 15, 2020, which led to the freezing of the accounts.
Recall that the court on September 15, 2020, granted an interim order freezing Obasa’s accounts following the EFCC’s application in a suit marked FHC/LCS/1064/2020.
The agency had said it was investigating the Speaker for the alleged offences of conspiracy, diversion of funds, abuse of office and money laundering.
But Justice Oweibo, on August 16, 2023, heard the application to unfreeze the accounts in his chamber.
During the hearing, the EFCC was represented by Mr. Sulaiman I. Sulaiman, while Obasa was represented by Mr. Adeyinka Olumide-Fusika (SAN).
The EFCC lawyer told the court that the application to unfreeze the accounts was pursuant to Section 44(2)(K) of the 1999 Constitution (as amended) and Sections 26, 29 and 34 (1) of the EFCC (Establishment) Act, 2004, and under the court’s inherent jurisdiction.
Section 44 of the Constitution concerns constitutional rights to property.
Justice Oweibo held: “It is hereby ordered that an order is hereby granted to the respondent/applicant setting aside the ex-parte orders of this court made on the 15th day of September 2020 upon the ex-parte motion of the Applicant/ Respondent in relation the funds of the Respondent/Applicant domiciled in the accounts stated in the following schedule:
“ACCOUNT NAME, FINANCIAL ACCOUNT INSTITUTIONS, TYPE OF ACCOUNT, 1. Mudasiru Ajayi Obasa, Standard Chartered, (US Dollars) 0001852063 2. Mudasiru Ajayi Obasa, Standard Chartered (Current) 0001852056 3. Mudashiru Ajayi Obasa, Standard Chartered (Saving) 5002309624.

Originalsly: This lady cannot win popular vote in Venezuela. She is a sell out...and will sell out Venezuela to the Israelis. Didn't she say she would reopen the Venezuelan embassy in Israel? ...and asking Netanyahu to invade Venezuela? Is she about Venezuela or Israel? She is a Zionist ... not Jew ...a Zionist. Netanyahu would love to take control of Venezuela. He wants her installed ...and I'm almost sure it is the MOSSAD that got her out. The US is under Netanyahu's control ... he uses the US to prosecute his wars...his fights...his interests. Trump is a puppet ...she is another puppet. She's all over the news in the US ... while Maduro is being condemned... preparing the minds of the US people to believe that he needs to be taken out ...the same done with Sadam and Gadaffi.
Chavez was also labelled a tyrant. Any leader that tries to improve the lives of the masses and take control of their resources is depicted as evil ..an evil that needs to be removed.
Why did you forget to include details of HOW Chavez improved the lives of Venezuelans, which Chinese leaders failed to do, such that he was labelled a tyrant but Chinese leaders are not so labelled
BlackViper: At the time of Ms Machado’s crossing in Curaçao, two US Navy F-18s flew into the Gulf of Venezuela, where they spent 40 minutes flying in tight circles near her route, flight tracking data show.
It was the closest incursion by US planes in Venezuelan airspace since tensions rose in September.
It’s terrible to be a small fry Maduro of Venezuela that makes useless noise against Trump and America, hoping that you will be able to get some help from China and Russia.

Atiku believes in ranching, deserves our votes – Ortom
Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom has disclosed that the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar is a sincere advocate of ranching as solution to the lingering herders crisis in the country.
The Governor who spoke Thursday at his reelection campaign rally in Katsina/Ala also stated that the former Vice President was not a religious fundamentalist.
He reiterated his appeal to the electorate in the state to vote massively for Atiku who was on the same page with the people of the state and all PDP candidates in the forthcoming election.
He observed that while President Muhammadu Buhari was canvassing for the opening up of cattle routes which would impact negatively on the land of the people of the state if implemented, Alhaji Atiku had been establishing ranches for his cattle and even proceeded to build feed-mills.
He said, “ranching is critical to the survival of our state because it remains the best solution to the incessant crises between farmers and herders with monumental loss of human lives and property over the years hence we must vote against those who opposed it.
Buhari served two terms after being a military dictator.
Where is Abacha of yesterday? Was he not adopted by the five parties back then
anonimi: My dad, victim of complex conspiracy – Kola Abiola
What role did Bola Tinubu play in all of these?
At the very beginning, he was part of the Yar’Adua PF group from Jos. He was a senator then, and as far as the group went, we related. The crisis started post-election. When Abacha came, one of the things he wanted to do was to be the administrator for Lagos.
That is Tinubu?
Yes. I am sure you have seen pictures of him and my dad. He was hoping that there would be civilian administrators like we had under IBB but Abacha said no, that he was going to have military administrators. So he (Tinubu) said okay, in that case, can I be a deputy administrator? But Abacha said that there wouldn’t be deputies. Then he wanted the post of a commissioner.
He wanted to be a commissioner?
Yes. Then it was a choice between him and someone very close to Jakande who has passed on now. I can’t remember his name, but because Babagana was already in the government, that guy was picked as commissioner. But really, Senator Tinubu had lost out already.
Was Tinubu very close to MKO?
Yes, he was close enough. He and Adeniyi Adele, a very good guy, were close to my father. In fact, Adeniyi was closer to my father and more dedicated to the process than anyone of them. When my documentary comes out, you will see Tinubu’s take on issues. So once he lost out, automatically, he became a NADECO member and Adeniyi was incarcerated.
ColdHunter: I always wonder the kind of politics that happen in Nigeria and why public office holders often hold on to sits even when their tenure expire.
I can't imagine a single political party in Nigeria today that doesn't have leadership crisis. Mostly stemming from issues around tenure.
Is it a lack of laws or lack of interpretations of them?
Same thing happens in public service where upon retirement, people refuse to exit their office.
What leadership crisis do you see in Oshiomole's Assembly of Past Criminals, APC where sins are forgiven for leaders looters who stay loyal to their Ogas at the top

Why risk your funds with some of these mushroom investment platforms when there are other better alternatives?
If we risk our taxes to generate revenue for local, state and federal government officials to steal instead of employing workers to make services and utilities available for us, then why are you surprised that we lose money on mushroom investment platforms
chisomkachy: Nigerian President Bola Tinubu’s first supplementary budget includes a fleet of SUVs for himself and his wife, a presidential yacht and the renovation of his villa amid a cost-of-living crisis for some of the poorest people in the world.
The proposal — which seeks additional funding beyond the annual budget approved by Tinubu’s predecessor — comes as the government asks Nigerians to persevere through pain caused in part by a raft of economic reforms ushered in by the new president. Africa’s most populous country faces rampant unemployment, soaring food prices and a plummeting currency.
Federal lawmakers approved the president’s request for extra spending on Thursday, but eliminated the provision of 5 billion naira ($6.01 million) to buy a presidential yacht. Instead, they doubled the allocation to a student loan fund to 10 billion naira, according Abubakar Bichi, chairman of an appropriations committee in the House of Representatives.
The lawmakers approved 1.5 billion-naira proposed to purchase SUVs for the office of First Lady Oluremi Tinubu — an amount larger than that allocated to many individual federal colleges. The supplementary budget also proposes almost 6 billion naira to purchase SUVs for the presidency — more than the amount initially allocated to fund a student loan program for poor families.

Babasessy: The Awolowo rebirth in the Southwest has inspired gongs, songs and rhetoric of sorts. But they have missed one point.
It occurred to me in Abeokuta last week amidst the big crowds and euphoria of the swearing-in of Senator Ibikunle Amosun as governor. In all the states from Lagos to Edo, where Awo has witnessed ideological resurgence, hardly a single family member has played a role.
So we have an Awo family without an Awo. That is an irony. But history overwhelms us with this sort of twist. Obafemi Awolowo toiled for his reputation. His roots were lowly, he toiled to school both home and abroad, launched into careers in law, business, journalism and eventually politics. He carved a niche for himself, and became the first methodical and charismatic leftist in our history. Other leftists abounded but they did not inspire comparable drama and following.
He faced tribulations, went to jail, failed in elections, won a few, but he imprinted his ideas and legacy in the country, and no single mortal has beaten him in the history of this country. His greatest achievement was in the area of ideas, and that was how he fashioned a family. Most families are born of biology but his issued from ideology. That family suffered with him.
In a spoof of Jesus Christ, these were the men who followed him in his teachings, and endured with him in his temptations. So he formed a kingdom for them in the Southwest, in the old Western Region, presiding over his projects, his legacies and people.
In all of these, the family he had was not his flesh and blood. In another spoof of Christ, who were his family anyway? Those who were with him must be counted as his family. So, I combed in the ambience of Babatunde Raji Fashola (SAN), and I found none. I went to Ogun, I frisked the crowd under Amosun’s bower, hardly any. Around Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola in Osun, I could not lay a finger. With Governor Kayode Fayemi in Ekiti, where are the forbears of Awo? Yet, I can hear the chants of Awo. Hardly in any of the inaugural speeches or any of their other public intervention would you miss the philtre and filter of Awo from these gentlemen. To parody Novelist Joseph Conrad, they are the sparks from Awo’s sacred fire, the messengers of the might within the man.
Already all of them are pursuing the legacy ideas of Awo: free education, free health services, infrastructural development, urban renewal and economic engineering.
Lagos has posted itself as the John the Baptist. The others are putting up valiant efforts, and the world of course is watching to see how well they will perform. It will call for great work, resourcefulness and cooperation. They are the real Awoists, and Awo was a man of rigour and vigour.
The Awo son that many expected to take after the father was Olusegun, who unfortunately died in a car crash. We shall never know if he could have pulled it off. But the others have not shown much of the paterfamilias’ brio and depth. In the past decade, under this republic, they have blended with the wrong crowd. Even H.I.D, hobnobbed with Alao-Akala, who brought illiteracy to governance; with Oyinlola who turned the grace of office into a hell-hole of despots; with Daniel who could not arrest his quick fall into megalomania.
I wrote once that this woman whom Awo once described as the jewel of inestimable value has lost value to his cause. If he came back to life, he would have committed the extraordinary act of divorce after death. Even his newspaper, The Tribune, has so stumbled and fallen that it swims in Awo’s vomit.
Houseofglam7: Awesome! Shine bright like the star you are!

TheBedWench: The one-drop rule is a social and legal principle of racial classification that was historically prominent in the United States in the 20th century. It asserted that any person with even one ancestor of black ancestry ("one drop" of black blood)[1][2] is considered black (Negro or colored in historical terms).
This concept became codified into the law of some states in the early 20th century. It was associated with the principle of "invisible blackness" that developed after the long history of racial interaction in the South, which had included the hardening of slavery as a racial caste and later segregation. It is an example of hypodescent, the automatic assignment of children of a mixed union between different socioeconomic or ethnic groups to the group with the lower status, regardless of proportion of ancestry in different groups.[3]
The one-drop rule is defunct in law in the United States and was never codified into federal law.
