Fkmodhi: This foolish woman just wasted billions of dollars 💵
How much of the money came from your pockets?
Have you ever donated to a campaign before, without expecting any direct reward
More than $200m: How Kamala Harris is winning the small donors battle What is driving small donors to pledge record amounts of money in support of Harris’s bid for the White House?
This fundraising milestone is significant, said Patrick Frank, former outreach director of ActBlue, the largest online fundraising platform for the Democratic Party and outreach director for Lunda, a platform for small donors fundraising in Europe.
“It is definitely one of one. This is a unique amount,” he told Al Jazeera. The only parallel? “I would say that there’s probably some comparison out there to disaster relief funds that are able to generate just as much,” he added.
But in a country where political campaigns are often beholden to large fundraising machines known as super PACs, the Harris campaign also stands out for the dramatic flood of money it is receiving from small donors.
Of the $497m in funding that Harris received as of August 20, roughly 42 percent of the money had come from 631,000 such small donors – those who contribute less than $200 – according to Open Secrets, a non-for-profit organisation based in Washington, DC that tracks and publishes data related on political campaign financing.
UltraSolid: Dude, go and take your drugs. You're always foaming at the mouth. If you were a dog you'd have been put down decades ago for suspected rabies madness.
You have no chill guy and I can imagine you're alway frustrated and in pain. Try and get laid now and then. That might help. Assuming you have the money to rent olosho cause I can't see any normal lady agreeing to be with you lol.
It's obvious that the only thing solid about you is the preek for fucking oloshos, and not your mental capacity to process issues being discussed.
Na so we be o, for the most part............................unevolved, orangutan primates focused on feasting and fucking our lives into perpetual collective poverty and backwardness.
GO ON CHATGPT AND TYPE: “List all the African writing scripts throughout history because my head is empty of all knowledge of the African past, due to my colonial brainwashing.”
CHATGPT WILL NOW LIST ALL THE WRITING SCRIPTS OF AFRICA DATING FROM 5,000 BCE TILL DATE, AFTER INFORMING YOU THAT BLACK AFRICANS INVENTED WRITING.
IT WILL ALSO REFER YOU THE TIMBUKTU MANUSCRIPTS, CRUSHING YOUR EMPTY-HEADED CLAIM THAT AFRICANS HAVE NO RECORDED HISTORY..
MAKE THAT YOUR ASSIGNMENT, SO YOU CAN FILL YOUR EMPTY HEAD WITH KNOWLEDGE OF YOUR OWN HISTORY.
DISGUSTING, IGNORANT PEA BRAIN.
Disgusting ignorant pea brain that you are failed to provide reference to your tribe's alphabets and WRITTEN history. Instead you referred me to oyinbo ChatGPT.
Why are you so shameless in your confusion of written with recorded? To deceive who else apart from yourself and lowlife, irredeemable blacks who would rather blame neocolonialists for their enduring mental laziness instead of getting to work like the Asians are doing to catch up and even overtake the whites.
immortalcrown: Crime gets cheaper as the economy gets harder. This doesn't mean that hardship justifies crime.
My point is that evil-minded people attach little or no value to human life. Imagine taking one's life for the reward 18,000 Naira.
It is an extrapolation of the Stockholm syndrome from Stalin below- people selling themselves so cheap to go deeper into exploitation and deprivation.
How do we get out of such a dead corner
fuckJones: (A case study of Nigeria citizens & their elected oppressors).
During the Soviet dictatorship of Joseph stalin. He was a brutal dictator with mind of his own. On one fateful day, stalin came to Politburo meeting with a live chicken. Standing in front of audience, He started to pluck the feathers of the live chicken off one by one. The chicken trembled in pain, blood tricking out of its pores. It gave out grievous cries, but stalin being a cruel dictator continued without remorse plucking the feathers out until the chicken was completely Unclad. After which, he threw the chicken on the ground. The Unclad chicken was staggering in pain. stalin goes into his pocket and from his pockets, he took out some chicken food and started to throw it at the poor & hapless creature. The poor chicken in pain started eating and stalin started walking towards his seat. As he walked away, he kept dropping some feeds on the floor & the chicken followed him and sat feeding from his feet.
Joseph stalin then turned to members of his political party leadership. He said, "This chicken represents the people". "You must disempower them, brutalise them, beat them up, starve them and then leave them". "If you do this, go into your pocket & give them peanuts when they are in that helpless and desperate situation, they will blindly follow you for the rest of their life, worshiping you". "They will think you are a hero forever. They will forget that, you're responsible for their sorrowful situation in the first place." Breath taking, isn't it ?
Now! Take a look at all the people some Nigerians are busy defending on social media. Take a look at those they call their heroes. They are the same people who plunged Nigeria into the situation she is. They are the same people who are responsible for their predicaments. Did you see the numbers of people that throng to Saraki's House during this Sallah period to go collect peanuts? People trooping to Bola Ahmed Tinubu Foundation offices to collect branded One kilo bag of Rice & Noddles. Did you see the number of people of all ages who troop out to welcome Ex- convict James Ibori to South South! Do you see the number of handle mop following obi as if he is a seat? what of the one following dino malaye?
Your guess is as good as mine. Nigerians kill those they should defend and defend those they should kill! Pass to all your contacts & let your Political & Religion Leaders read, understand & digest.
UltraSolid: You people will always think the worst of yourself because of inferiority complex. Even for argument sake, is writing down things the only way to take minutes of a meeting? What of use of a discreet recording device which many press and PR Staff use?
Discreet recording device researched, designed and manufactured by the vast Nigerian industrial machine?
Quit your blind patriotism and face the reality that we blacks are the only race without alphabets, no WRITTEN history and we continue our disdain for knowledge and history as demonstrated in the number of new libraries and museums since independence and the % of our time spent in those places.
Don't we have the highest number of children out of school, even with those in schools being mostly in private establishments that are hardly supervised/monitored by the state and local governments
Lord Lugard, the former governor-general of Nigeria, in 1926, wrote his unfiltered thought about Nigerians. From his book, The Dual Mandates, come these excerpts: "In character and temperament, the typical African of this race-type is a happy, thriftless, excitable person, lacking in self-control, discipline, and foresight. Naturally courageous, and naturally courteous and polite, full of personal vanity, with little sense of veracity, fond of music and loving weapons as an oriental loves jewellery. His thoughts are concentrated on the events and feelings of the moment, and he suffers little from the apprehension for the future or grief for the past. His mind is far nearer to the animal world than that of the European or Asiatic, and exhibits something of the animals' placidity and want of desire to rise beyond the state he has reached.
"Through the ages, the African appears to have evolved no organised religious creed, and though some tribes appear to believe in a deity, the religious sense seldom rises above pantheistic animalism and seems more often to take the form of a vague dread of the supernatural. He lacks the power of organisation, and is conspicuously deficient in the management and control alike of men or business. He loves the display of power, but fails to realize its responsibility - he will work hard with a less incentive than most races. He has the courage of the fighting animal, an instinct rather than a moral virtue. In brief, the virtues and defects of his race -type are those of attractive children, whose confidence when it is won is given ungrudgingly as to an older and wiser superior and without envy. Perhaps, the two traits which have impressed me as those most characteristic of the African native are his lack of apprehension and his lack of ability to visualize the future"
Guys lets discuss the thoughts of Lord Lugard. he had a supremacist view obviously. But is he right in the way he describes Nigerians and Africans in general? How many of the issues that he raises are valid?
Coldspice: Ugwuanyi was the chairman of the Pdp zoning committee. Why didn't he insist on it going to the SE?
Igbo delegates from the SE were at the convention ground where Anyim an Igbo man from the SE was on the ballot, they all voted for Atiku and Tambuwal. Why didn't they vote Anyim?
The more SE politicians sow the fruit of deceit, the more they will keep eating the fruit of disappointment.
The OP is about Wike's role in the zoning. How is any of what you wrote a rebuttal of his version of what happened last year
anonimi: 2023: PDP and politics of healing Wike’s self-inflicted injury
Then, the race began in earnest for three years now, reaching a frenzy with the works of the two PDP committees on zoning. The first was the Gov Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi committee on the zoning of the PDP party offices. The Ugwuanyi committee quickly told the world the committee’s assignment did not cover zoning the office of the president. Though this was true, the question is: why didn’t the Ugwuanyi committee zone the PDP chairmanship to the North without aligning it to the divide that would produce the PDP presidential flag-bearer? The second committee headed by Gov Samuel Ortom of Benue state was specifically on the zoning of the presidential ticket and, with the votes of the representatives of all the 17 Southern states without any exception, the Committee unanimously recommended throwing open the PDP presidential ticket, which the PDP NEC simply upheld.
One thing irrefutably stands out – Wike shot himself in the leg. Here was a man who had an overarching influence on both committees but could not insist that the ticket be zoned South. Many had wondered why? The reason is also relatively in plain sight: the Southeast factor. As the clamour for zoning of the presidential ticket of the PDP to South reached its crescendo, many had pointed out the fact that though the PDP Constitution had prescribed zoning of the office of the president to be between North and South since the South-west and South-south had taken their turns in producing the president and the vice in this current dispensation in the persons of Olusegun Obasanjo and Goodluck Jonathan, zoning this time around, should not just be to the South but the Southeast.
Atiku Abubakar went a step further by offering to step down from the race if it would be agreed that the touted zoning to the South would mean micro-zoning to the Southeast. Wike and the rest could not take the Atiku challenge maybe because Atiku would likely back Peter Obi, who was his vice-presidential running mate in 2019 and an ally. The prospects of Peter Obi picking the ticket if PDP zoned South was so real compelling Wike to go for an open contest, believing he could pick it up ahead of Atiku, Tambuwal and Bala Mohammed, given his large war chest.
Some of Tinubu's core team are people who believe in him and sacrificed for him. They were with him during the trenches days. Together, they weathered the storm.
It is not unusual for the likes of Fela Durotoye to work for free. But there are some hacks for hire even here on Nairaland who assume that everyone who speaks in favour for Tinubu or the government has been paid or wants to be paid. This is because they are hungry and assume others are like them. They lie between their teeth to justify their hatred and envy that one does not toe their line of national hatred.
However, Fela Durotoye needs to explain to us why he left the job. Did he ask for money and he was not given? Was there a conflict? Why was his exit not announced?
The other reason I am commenting is that someone suggested above that Fela Durotoye be given a prominent position in the next cabinet reshuffle. In the next six months, the administration would be two years. I think the recruitment of ministers needs to be more thorough. Salaries and emoluments need to be slashed drastically, and no official vehicle needs to be provided, except one. No minister actually needs security or that much security. Then no minister should award contracts or disburse money like the former Minister of Humanitarian Affairs did. The Bureau of Public Procurement should be in charge of anchoring public bidding of contracts and the process needs to be transparent. Ministerial aides need to be drawn from the civil service cadre to avoid conflicts, and if technical experts need to be hired, they must go through a rigorous interview with the civil service. Once the power to bring memos to the FEC to approve is more rigorous, more people would focus on their other day jobs and leave government jobs alone for serious minded individuals who have something to contribute to national development.
Infact, becoming a director or permanent secretary in the civil service and rising to the highest echelon in the military is more rigorous than ministerial recruitment. Right now, people see ministerial jobs as a place to be politically visible, rather than an area for intense work. That has to change.
President Tinubu, the country is littered with talents, home and abroad. You captured Ali Pate and Tunji Alausa. There are more of them. We need core professionals who can help with policy direction. We also need to
You need to rejig the team. We are confident you'd win the 2027 elections because the opposition parties, as are, do not have their acts together to compete in any national or state election.
Time is going.
Is this your own style of wailing ebiNpawa, for palliative bread eligibility?
How can you expect someone who has been looting Lagosians silly for a quarter century plus and used the war chest to buy his way into Aso Rock to do any of the things you are wailing about as recommendations?

Shadomaan7: Fela should be given a ministerial position in the next cabinet reshuffle. The guy has been consistent in supporting the government policies.
What government policies are these that he supported consistently
Did he also work for free in the fraudulent packaging of T-Pain's 2011 CPC expired leadership into APC messiah of change, which we now understand to be master of shege ebilokan that Asiwaju is continuing since last year
Emergingnation: Flashback: How Bola Tinubu spoke highly of Buhari in 2015, named PDP ‘Poverty Development Party
National leader of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Tinubu had during the presidential campaign in 2015, referred to President Muhammadu Buhari as the only solution for the security and economic challenges facing Nigeria.
During a mega presidential rally, the former governor of Lagos State recalled how some powerful nations in the world returned to army generals when they were challenged, saying “Major General Buhari would revive Nigeria’s economy”.
He named the current opposition People’s Democratic Party, PDP as the “Poverty Development Party saying they had nothing to offer.
His words at the time were; “Every nation has a period of their own challenges, when America was challenged, they turned to one great man, their ex-military general, General Eisenhower. When the French were challenged, they turned to their general, Charles de Gaulle.
“When Britain was challenged, they turned to their general. Today, Nigeria is economically and physically challenged so we turn to General Muhammadu Buhari. He is the right man for the job. If you talk about military experience, he has it abundantly, he has courage, simplicity, he has it abundantly.
“If you talk about great determination, a combination of vision and ability to perform, honesty and integrity, he has it abundantly.
“I laugh when the incapable government, ‘Poverty Development Party’ PDP were talking. They have nothing again to say, they now want to question the qualifications of General Buhari and look for his certificate”.
Following the manifestos in 2015 which projected the APC presidential candidate as a ‘saviour’, Buhari defeated the then incumbent president, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan with Nigerians expecting a total change in security and economy.
Stevenson20: Please deport all those modafuckers that voted in this useless APShit government and ran away.
Yorubalokan BATists ran away and left us to fight for T-Pain’s palliative bread, since he is too clueless to create the 50 million jobs promised.
At least, Trump delivers what he promises. Now that is a man of political integrity.
Glimpsetv: A large crowd of Lagosians was filmed in a long queue struggling to collect a loaf of bread. To maintain order, several military personnel were on the ground to control the crowd. This has triggered a lot of reactions online.
Watch the video, share your thoughts in the comments.
surgical: what a better time to do it than now ,APC has greatly helped us in this regard, it has been clearly shown by apc right from buhari to Tinubu that the only people that benefit are the people that use it to divide
The masses of the north did not benefit much from buhari 8 years neither did the Muslims across the country had anything to show for it except for buhari and his cronies who cashed out big time
Now with Tinubu Muslim Muslim ticket and emilokan, has the Muslim fared better than their Muslim counter part or is the live of the people of South West better than that of the other ethnic group in the country because tinubu is in power, the answer is no, so religion and ethnicity in politics is a scam, only a fool should still be sway by such arguments going forward
We Yorubalokan BATists have cashed out big time with palliative bread instead of jobs to hustle for a living wage. What else should we not be joyful about

Thst is something Lagosians have now realised, 25 years plus of using Tinubu's master plan to extract more and more taxes from them without increasing civil servants numbers to improve services and utilities.

Heh, Tinubu's name won't be spendable by December, make una go face una hustle and hope for the best
Face hustle when Tinubu has failed to create jobs promised but has worsened the unemployment situation?
Hardship worsens as Nigeria’s unemployment rate rises to 5.3% in Q1 2024 Published on September 24, 2024
Nigeria’s unemployment rate increased to 5.3 percent in the first quarter of 2024, rising by 0.3 percent from 5.0 percent in the third quarter of 2023 amid worsening economic hardship.
The National Bureau of Statistics, NBS, disclosed this in its Nigeria Labour Force Data for the first quarter of 2024, which was released on Tuesday.
According to the report, the unemployment rate for males stood at 4.3 percent, while females experienced a higher rate – 6.2 percent.
stopthecycle: Just watched a clip of APC Presidential aspirant Bola Tinubu saying this:
"Recruit 50 million youths into the Army. What they will eat? Cassava, agbado, corn in the morning. Yam in the afternoon, you have to create demand and consumption" And he was applauded generously for that.
FULL LIST: Firms that left Nigeria from 2020 to 2024 over economic challenges 29th October 2024

Gerrard59: The general environment. If a first-timer goes there, one would think it is a part of Lagos. I have been to a place that did not look different from Yaba Market in Lagos. Again, the only differences were pedestrian roads, no generator noise, and little to no black people. Otherwise, there was no difference between that place and Yaba Market. I was stunned as it was my first time there. Mind you, this is in a major city in Japan.
I have been to other places that apart from the tarred roads and no generator noise, no difference between there and middle class neighbourhoods in Lagos. Na why e dey pain me when the basics cannot be provided in Nigeria. It is annoying because this development of a thing is not hard or supposed to be hard.
Apart from the tarred roads that are properly marked, the major difference between us and the Japanese is maintenance. They maintain their infrastructure very well.
cc: anonimi
Many thanks for the mention.
Do you understand the Japanese history behind this major difference in maintenance culture between our two countries/races, so that you and others can work on bridging the gap through advocacy, which is how universal suffrage and free basic education (for example) became possible in Europe and Americas
God1000: I completely agree with president Obasanjo
What is there to agree with the most useless looter among the rogues that we call leaders
Did he not cause T-Pain’s ebilokan power grab by helping him make Buhari president in 2015 despite knowing he was clueless about the economy?
The old man should stop abusing our intelligence with his hypocrisy.
citizenisb: Former President Olusegun Obasanjo says President Muhammadu Buhari may not do well in economy and foreign affairs, except in military matters.
“Buhari is not a very hot person on the economy and foreign affairs,” Obasanjo said.
The former President stated this on Monday at the third International Conference on African Development Issues — themed, “Driving inclusive and sustainable development in Africa: Models, methods and policies” — organised by Covenant University, Ota, Ogun State.
While reacting to a question posed to him by a member of the audience: “Is there any hope for Nigeria under the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari?”, Obasanjo replied, “Is there any hope for Nigeria under this administration? I came back from Geneva, Switzerland a few days ago to attend a conference titled, ‘Are elections giving democracy a bad name?’ We had an election, we elected a leader and the good thing about democracy is that the power you have to elect a leader is also the power you have to remove him. I am saying this because I said earlier that if you don’t see any leader that has done well in the 56 years of Nigeria’s independence, then let us forget about Nigeria.
“I will tell you what I know and I will tell you what I don’t know. know Gen. Muhammadu Buhari. He served under me in the military. His characteristics that I know, his behaviour that I know, he has not deviated from them. He was never a perfect man, he is not a perfect man and no leader can ever be a perfect man because they are human beings. But if you read my book, what I said about him is correct. He is not a hot person when it comes to economy. He is not a very hot person when it comes to foreign affairs. But he will do well in matters of military and he will do well in fighting Boko Haram.”
This guy self . You claimed you have hijacked Lagos and you are still hating the same Lagos. You are neither here nor there, you don't know what you want at all
I know that I don’t want to be a blindly tribal chauvinist.
Melagros: COMRADES, Nigerians are creative and also the most skilled people in the world Bad leaders na em dey draw us back
If the looters that we call leaders are any different from us then why do we allow them to emerge from among us to leadership positions, in business, religion, political and other spheres of community life
anonimi: Neo-black Problem: Must Blacks Be Ruled by Whites in Order to Prosper?
In short, the neo-black dilemma may be framed as follows: is it better to live under white rule without political dignity but with basic life-sustaining standards for many;
or to live under black rule with illusory political dignity and without basic life- sustaining standards for the majority? \ \ The path forward for Africa lies in cultivating higher and adequate levels of personal and communal agential integrity as well as full personal responsibility and productivity. Not to mention creativity (including epistemic creativity), productive justice (such as merit and freedom), harmony and reconciliation at local and international levels, and a proper domestication of capitalism and other related values and institutions.
Africa must stop wasting her time on dreams of socialism because it is a system of wealth distribution primarily. Whereas, capitalism is a system of wealth creation primarily, and wealth has to be produced before it can be distributed.
Okay maybe Britons are not begging and fighting for palliative bread like Lagosians, since they have finished the money from selling their heritage to Igbos

Can you please be kind enough to be more specific about what made the Japanese countryside look like a part of urban Lagos
kettykin: A quick rundown of what this artificial intelligence institute will do will be fine. Grooming of local skills, setting up an artificial intelligence platform or laboratory so that most people don't have to use sage maker in aws or Google AI or Azure. Setting up AI clusters or agent businesses in the east. Assisting with venture capital or start up capital for startups.
This institute if well managed will create the next 100 millionaires and billionaires in the east.
AI is already a game changer creating billionaires in open AI , Claude, Curso, invidia, copilot etc
If a tree doesn’t make a forest, then how can this initiative work sustainably without Alex Otti and the 17 Abia LGA chairmen having all children in free primary, vocational and secondary schools?
Does any brilliant person know HOW this is possible
onuman: Do you not know that Atiku likes the Janjaweeed political party in power in Nigeria? Atiku was like a founding member of APC. APC has one cardinal objective: getting Islamic Republic of Nigeria.
I thought you were talking about another person who can replace T-Pain in the election but I guess you didn’t know what you were talking about earlier.
So sorry to bother with you.
onuman: While Nigerians are busy complaining, let me highlight some important achievements of the Tinubu administration in less than 16 months. 1. No more traffic jams on our roads. Most private cars are now resting in peace. 2. No more generator noise pollution in our neighbourhood. We now enjoy silent nights. 3. Less Nigerians now suffer health issues related to obesity and lack of exercise. You don't need a doctor to tell you that it is healthy to walk. 4. Our hospitals are no longer overcrowded. The hospital bills and the cost of medicines are enough to make people stay in their home and die peacefully. 5. No more overcrowded markets and shopping malls. The prices of essential commodities have made them less essential. 6. Even the japa syndrome has reduced to the barest minimum. The exchange rate has rnsured that cost of visa and airfare are out of reach to most Nigerians. 7. And many more...you can add your own. Tinubu's is an uncommon government.
ogascomax: If Atiku is serious about winning 2027 election or even contesting he should start making moves and start engaging voters. Nigerians politicians don't understand opposition role at all. Donald Trump has being fighting, engaging, campaigning since 2020 that he lost his election not waiting for close to 2 and half years before you start. Start now be having podcast and the rest.
TPain must go and I don't want to hear that it's SS turn otherwise TPain will win and finish the country pkatakpata.
Let leave region now because this is about surviving right now.
What WORKS are you doing to make this bold part come to pass
onuman: Atiku has merely been prolonging APC in power through his quadriennial presidential contest. Atiku contesting presidential election in 2027 is like giving 2nd term to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Who should contest against him then, to avoid giving him a second term, to end the suffering under pseudo progressive politicians who are clueless about getting people to work and be productive for creating value
TossTos: The 3 of them is going no where unless them come back together, woo others to join back and form a formidable opposition to wrestle power off the ruling party.. The exact thing Tinubu did back then , he woo him too (Atiku ) back then ... Little did he ( Atiku )know that Tinubu is using him to gain north .. Untill them do away with there ego , pride and na only me , they're going no where , all of them ..
Does anyone have to be a seer to know this truth How do we the masses who bear the burden of clueless, money sharing scamdemic socialists, WORK to avoid continuity of APC calamities?
jameshankss: Anambra State Governor, Professor Chukwuma Soludo, has said he is sure the candidate of Labour Party (LP), Mr Peter Obi, would lose the 2023 presidential election. Soludo said he would not submit to the bullying of Obi’s supporters, who recently descended on him for addressing issues in the state.
The governor made the comments in a lengthy write-up personally authored, with the title, “History Beckons, and I Will Not Be Silent (Part 1).”
Soludo said Obi was inadvertently making the pathway to victory much easier for the presidential candidate of All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, and at the same time, toying with the destiny of millions of Ndigbo.
But the chief spokesperson for the Labour Party Presidential Campaign, Yunusa Tanko, accused Soludo of being sponsored by some unknown persons to weaken the base of the party in the South-east.
The former CBN governor had been under intense attack for close to a week for dismissing Obi’s investment in the state as amounting to nothing, during a television interview.
Soludo said in the write-up, “My attention has been drawn to some of the tirades on social media following my frank response during an interview on Channels TV regarding the ‘investments’ Mr. Peter Obi claimed to have made with Anambra State revenues.
“Sadly, several of the comments left the issue of the interview to probe or suggest motives, inferred from my response on ‘investment’ that I am opposed to Peter Obi’s ambition and, therefore, committed a ‘crime’ for which the punishment is internecine abuse and harassment, even to my family.
“Everyone knows that I don’t follow the winds or one to succumb to bullies, or shy away from a good fight especially, when weighty matters of principles and future of the people are involved.”
Soludo said he had urged Obi to return to his former party, the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), to actualise his presidential bid. He added that he had always told the LP candidate to his face that he was not capable of winning the 2023 presidential election, especially, under LP, which had neither a councillor nor a local government chairman.
Soludo said Obi was not just his friend, but also his brother, but despite that, they have their political differences.
He stated, “For full disclosure, let me state that Peter Obi and I are not just friends, we call ourselves ‘brothers’. But we have political differences: he left APGA for PDP after his tenure as governor, while I have remained in APGA since 2013.
“During the last two governorship elections in Anambra in 2017 and 2021, he led the PDP campaigns but APGA won landslide in both elections. By the way, in 2016, he visited and proposed that I defect to PDP and contest the 2017 election against the incumbent Willie Obiano, but I declined.
“After my victory in November 2021, he called to congratulate me, as I did to him in 2010. That is the Anambra way: we fight fiercely during campaigns but share drinks at the next social events. After all, it was the Great Zik of Africa, who taught us that in politics, there are no permanent friends or permanent enemies but only permanent interests.”
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.
They were paid by T-Pain with palliative bread for them to fọkàn balẹ and endure the suffering and hardship shege of APC since 2015, which ebilokan raised to the extra level last year.
Kano residents finally got served what Yorubalokan Lagosians thought was meant for them alone.
Glimpsetv: A large crowd of Lagosians was filmed in a long queue struggling to collect a loaf of bread. To maintain order, several military personnel were on the ground to control the crowd. This has triggered a lot of reactions online.
Watch the video, share your thoughts in the comments.
Believeintruth: If you are arrested and arraigned in court for this allegation now, can you beat your chest fully and say that Obiano will come and agree to testify for you that we doesn't know on this 7.5bn allegation?
Stupid people are a danger to Nigeria more than Bandits and BH.
Stupidest people don’t know how to read and direct their wailing to the quoted newspaper.
Propagandist liars are a greater danger to our country than stupid bandits and Boko Haram terrorists.
bennybuhari: “’I cannot take anything back about Obi. I said Obi said he wants to move Nigeria back from consumption to production and I said that is not true. He cannot do it because his own business survives on consumption. Is that a lie? He has been an importer and I said he deals with cash and carry economics; container economics, imports”.
“All the goods that can be produced in Nigeria, Obi imports them in his supermarkets. That is consumption economics. That kind of person cannot tell you that he is moving you from consumption to production. He will then be committing self-economic suicide and Obi will not do that to himself”.
“So, Obi is deceiving everybody and I can’t take that back because that is true.
Is that not an appropriate term for the lousy thug who was blabbing about zoning for presidency last year despite his own succession to an Ikwerre governor after eight years?
Are you also a bloody busy body hypocrite like the drunkard you are loyal to
anonimi: 2023: PDP and politics of healing Wike’s self-inflicted injury
Then, the race began in earnest for three years now, reaching a frenzy with the works of the two PDP committees on zoning. The first was the Gov Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi committee on the zoning of the PDP party offices. The Ugwuanyi committee quickly told the world the committee’s assignment did not cover zoning the office of the president. Though this was true, the question is: why didn’t the Ugwuanyi committee zone the PDP chairmanship to the North without aligning it to the divide that would produce the PDP presidential flag-bearer? The second committee headed by Gov Samuel Ortom of Benue state was specifically on the zoning of the presidential ticket and, with the votes of the representatives of all the 17 Southern states without any exception, the Committee unanimously recommended throwing open the PDP presidential ticket, which the PDP NEC simply upheld.
One thing irrefutably stands out – Wike shot himself in the leg. Here was a man who had an overarching influence on both committees but could not insist that the ticket be zoned South. Many had wondered why? The reason is also relatively in plain sight: the Southeast factor. As the clamour for zoning of the presidential ticket of the PDP to South reached its crescendo, many had pointed out the fact that though the PDP Constitution had prescribed zoning of the office of the president to be between North and South since the South-west and South-south had taken their turns in producing the president and the vice in this current dispensation in the persons of Olusegun Obasanjo and Goodluck Jonathan, zoning this time around, should not just be to the South but the Southeast.
Atiku Abubakar went a step further by offering to step down from the race if it would be agreed that the touted zoning to the South would mean micro-zoning to the Southeast. Wike and the rest could not take the Atiku challenge maybe because Atiku would likely back Peter Obi, who was his vice-presidential running mate in 2019 and an ally. The prospects of Peter Obi picking the ticket if PDP zoned South was so real compelling Wike to go for an open contest, believing he could pick it up ahead of Atiku, Tambuwal and Bala Mohammed, given his large war chest.
AntiZikist: Cut to the chase and just tell us why you that is not from Rivers hate Wike with passion.
It's on record that you who is not from Rivers or the SS hate Wike for 3 main reasons being :
1. Uprooting of IPOB terrorists from Rivers state and reminding the people on how biafran soldiers and Ibo civilians commited so much war crimes and crimes against humanity on the minority people.
2. Refusing to accede to the zoning of PDP ticket to the SE .
3. Refusing to endorse Obi but rather working with Tinubu camp in the last elections.
Wike is far better as a leader to his people in Rivers than all your useless Politicians and so-called elders and elite combined.
In all your long grammar you failed to mention the falsehood in his comment.
