While you and your likes watch and wail as unemployment, insecurity, blackouts, inflation deal with everyone

Orisirisi fake pastors and scumbags in cassock lowa.
How do people with grey matter seat under the authority of charlatans like Tunde Bakare?
How

HigherEd:
I will succeed Buhari as President of Nigeria, nothing can change it. I am number 16, Buhari is number 15.

I never said it to you before. I am saying it now and nothing can change it.

In the name of Jesus, he is number 15. I am number 16.

To this end was I born and for this purpose came I into the world.

I have prepared you for this for more than 30 years.

[quote author= post=113599869]This is the man that ALL his children studied and are schooling abroad.
A man that the education of his kids is paramount to him and was just few months ago invited and honoured by the Governor of Atlanta, Georgia USA based on the best graduating result of one of his sons, outclassing and coming top above all his oyibo classmates.

And many of the wards and parents of his haters down here that say bad things about him all the time, have never been invited by their Local Government or Ward Chairman to celebrate them with a carton of noodles to take home!
Pathetic!

WHO SAYS 4 YEARS IN OFFICE IS NOT ENOUGH FOR MEANINGFUL ACHIEVEMENTS?

SarkinYarki:
So sad .once again Nigerians opt for rubbish

How much input did Bubu's lazy youths provide into the process that produced the rubbish??

phemmyjohnson:
I never said tinubu is a good man besides is there anyone good When it comes to politics or you are telling me Osinbajo haven’t seen and looked away on some things he knows are very wrong

have you heard about comparatives:

Good, better & best?
Bad, worse & worst?

phemmyjohnson:
Goodbye PYO.. History will Pen down your name as the man who draw the line with whom brought him to political limelight.. Good people face the worst trials ..
Try again later .. You are the best man for the job but you are not the best political aspirant

Since when did serial betrayer, Thiefnuibu become a good man

If he is the best man for the job and you did not work for his success, what does that make you? The worst citizen of this geographical area

loko50:
Don't be insensitive. Why not thank God in privacy?

Which is what Jesus Christ requested of all His followers

Matthew 6

5 "And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 6 But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. 7 And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. 8 Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.

EKONGKING:
But God is sleeping when people are getting killed in his compound.
You survived and u attributed to God . Those killed ,are they killed by God through negligence or by design .since God knows best

God is good indeed.
Dumbest set of people are Nigerian Christians .

Not just Nigerian Christians abeg.
Overzealous, religious people all over the world are like that. Maybe that is why they all wear caps & scarves over their heads- for reduced thinking

onuman:
This man says the truth, but Tinubu urchins and the MURICs of the SW will not accept the truth.

Thiefnuibu urchins like the one who posted just above your comment

Tinupoo destroyed Afenifere that was made up of real Yoruba leaders and constituted the amorphous Yoruba Council of Elders to rival them just because they told him to take it easy with his daddy Buhari. We will see who will laugh last..

Nectarbaba:
It's a start, stop sounding bitter.

To lazy bones who don't want to do the needful work for their goals (individual & communal) being realistic is sounding bitter.
Sorry for your loss Oga,

Myself, relatives and friends are well to-do already and comfortable till years to come. Also, future generations are secured already.

Now my advice to you- face your life, future generations, relatives & friends squarely and forget abt one stupid nation that can finish you. Avoid being foolish.....if you're wise then ruminate on this

Ire !

Olowo kan larin otshi mefa, otoshi meje ni gbogbo won.

Fresh vegetable grown on a refuse dump remains unattractive to buyers because of its background. Is that not what happens in weddings- family background matters

As an Omoluabi I am sure you can figure out this and ruminate thereon.

PoliteActivist:
I want to say something, congratulate her... but then I remember some people died and she's no better than them

Excellent and wise comment.
You really deserve your moniker.

yetunsbay:
Are you aware same citizens are not better than the so called politicians taking our national treasure.

Kindly visit MDAs/Private establishments etc and see human behaviour.

Forget ? 9ja can't be more (better) than it is.

Meaning what for your future generations as well as your relatives and friends

We are already Obified

How many of you to reach the 50% + one vote needed?
How many of you to reach 25% votes in 24 states?
Being elected president no be for noisemakers online o.
Abi INEC get polling station for social media

Judeerons32:
the position of national chairman does not compare to that of the president. and let's assume that it was. his choice was communicated well before the convention. Today is the day of the convention he stated just yesterday he does not. what else do people want to hear.

He said that he was for nobody and for everybody but has treated his loyalists with kid gloves in corruption fight while Fulani murderers enjoy impunity, immunity and free reign of terror over others. Meanwhile it is a different story for Igbos and Yorubas.

South-East Mocks Buhari, Produces Dot-In-Circle Shirts, Caps After Threatening Statement from their president.

SaharaReporters saw the images of the clothes and caps with “Onye dot” written on them in a satirical reference to Buhari’s reference to IPOB agitators in his interview last Thursday with Arise Television.

T-shirts and caps bearing dot-in-circle images have surfaced Across Nigeria after President Muhammadu Buhari described the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) as a dot in a circle which could not secede from the country.

President Buhari had threatened that his government had mobilised and would continue to mobilise the military and the police to go after the IPOB accused of disturbing the peace in the South-East region.

He had said that IPOB is “just like a dot in a circle and they have nowhere to turn to. They are spread everywhere and they have investments and properties everywhere and in other areas.

“They don't know what they are doing. How we will handle them is to mobilise the police and the military to go after them.”

The IPOB, led by Nnamdi Kanu, has been clamouring for the sovereign nation of Biafra as a result of alleged marginalisation, killings and hatred being shown to Igbo people.

In the same manner, Oyo-based rights activist and businessman, Sunday Igboho has gained massive support in the South-West in his demand for Oduduwa Republic for Yoruba people.

Buhari during the interview said those agitators are delusional in their thinking as they neglect the issue of resources for Nigerians to survive.

“Yes, I think of Nigeria. Nigerians can say what they want to say. They want their republics. They don’t think about resources. How to share what we have.

Dione03:
I pray the best option that will restore the glory and dignity of our great country Nigeria is chosen today

Since when did prayers alone do anything?
Don't you lock up your house after praying at night?
If you are that wise for your individual goals, why are you not equally wise for community/country goals
You better get your PVC ready and work on mobilising thousands and millions of other to vote men who will restore the glory and dignity of our great country from your LGA councilor and chairmen, state lawmaker and governor as well as senator and representative. Abi it is only the president who is responsible for our country ni?

chatinent:
Why is Buhari the failure given much importance?

because those of us who see ourselves as not failures allow him to do so without putting our money, talents and time to where our mouth is?
If na you people give chance to flex and chance them, you no go flex

Judeerons32:
Buhari may not be a purist but he acts too sanctimonious to pick anyone today. He would rather leave the decision to the governors. If he really wanted to pick someone he would have done that earlier.
Major reason why many of his aides and relatives lost primaries.that is his nature

Was that how he left Adamu's choice as chairman to the governors

God1000:
Osinbajo is the true democrat here

Aguntan ti o ba ba aja rin o ma je igbe/ goat wey follow dog waka go chop shit.
Osunbande has been mixing and rolling with thieves and dictators since forever so how does that make him a democrat? Can you please explain?

Hoelujohn:
If it's my name and Tinubu's name that was submitted, I am sure that Buhari will settle for me. That is how hard it is for Buhari to support Tinubu

You mean that Bubu and the power hawks in the north know that Thiefnuibu is a serial betrayer of MKO, of the Afenifere elders, of Lagosians whose money he steals instead of doing in 23 years with huge revenue more than what LKJ did in just four years with comparative chicken change?
The rogue is due for his pay day, no be so

ebbo:
Even u urself is still doubting buhari, u think if buhari wants power to stay in the North, all the northern governors won't dear come to say power must go back to South. We northerners are straight forward people,we don't lie and pretend to like u even when we don't like u. Our yes is always going to be yes and our no is No and we say it to ur face because we don't fear human beings except Allah.

Is that how the north has kept power forever without adding any value to the country since independence

Allisgud:
see mentality minus one vote from that 200 million

Did your mentality prevent you from reading all the comment and the subsequent follow up comments from me
Stop being a Bubu lazy youth. Thank me later.

SoludoTV:
https://www.soludo.tv/2022/06/07/teachers-recruitment-soludo-orders-fresh-cbt-test-for-all-applicants/

Not bad.
How many teachers did Obiano and Peter Obi as well as Ngige recruit when they were governor?
What percentage of Anambra children are in free government schools compared to private schools?
What is the ratio of teachers:students in the government schools and how have they changed for each governor

Is it possible for us to focus on these type of statistics for performance ratings instead of useless, cheap & cheerful chinko infrastructure projects?

umuna:
So you mean no southern candidate can win Atiku? I tell you, Prof Osibanjo will beat him with a clean slate.

What are the governance and even political positions that make Osinbajo better than Atiku

dimeji1:
While I agree with u, Tinubu reminded them of how Buhari got into power. So APC will die natural death if they retained power in d North. SS and SE is going to PDP so how will they get the required 1/3 in south which southwest gave Buhari. So automatically ATIKU will win so the Northern Governors are not stupid.

Why do you think that APC's death is important to the northerners
Moreover, Atiku will win the required 25% in the southwest even against Thiefnuibu or Osinbajo.

InoGetJoy:
You fail to realise that his post can motivate others to get their own PVC and vote for the right candidate.
Remember, 200million people begins with 1 person

I actually realise and acknowledge that.
However, I know that the work to getting the people who see the world as many of us online do, is more than just announcing that I will get my PVC. It's a tough work of long term dedication and sacrifice of mingling with people outside one's immediate sphere of influence to convince them as preachers of the two Abrahamic religions did centuries ago to make us abandon our own religion.
Fela's mother is a good example of what is involved.

In 1932, Ransome-Kuti had helped establish the Abeokuta Ladies Club. The club focused on charity work, sewing, catering and adult education classes, and its early members were mostly Christian, Western-educated women from the middle class. By the 1940s, however, the club was moving in a more political direction. Inspired by an illiterate friend who asked her for help learning how to read, Ransome-Kuti began organizing literacy workshops for market women through the club, and she subsequently gained a greater understanding of social and political inequalities faced by many Nigerian women. Writing about the freedoms granted by her own more privileged background, Ransome-Kuti noted that "the true position of Nigerian women had to be judged from the women who carried babies on their backs and farmed from sunrise to sunset … not women who used tea, sugar, and flour for breakfast".  In 1944 she developed a successful campaign to stop local authorities seizing rice from market women under false pretenses.

In 1946 the club was formally renamed the Abeokuta Women's Union (AWU), now open to all women in Abeokuta. The organisation now turned its focus to fighting unfair price controls and taxes imposed on market women, with Ransome-Kuti as the AWU's president. She had founded the union along with Grace Eniola Soyinka (her husband's niece and the mother of Nobel Laureate Wole Soyinka),  and the AWU gradually grew to represent 20,000 official members, with up to 100,000 additional supporters. In an effort to unify women and avoid class conflict, Ransome-Kuti and other formally educated members spoke Yoruba and wore traditional Yoruba clothing to union meetings and events.

Ransome-Kuti's first well-known political activity came when she led the AWU in a protest against a tax on women. In Abeokuta, alongside regular taxes for income and water usage, market women were also forced to pay a special tax that went directly to market supervisors or "parakoyis".  The Alake Ademola II, a local traditional ruler of Abeokuta who now became part of the colonial administration via indirect rule, had imposed taxes on women after the Egba Native Administration had been established in 1914. After a failed appeal to British authorities to remove the current Alake from power and halt the tax, Ransome-Kuti and the AWU began contacting newspapers and circulating petitions.[4] Aiming to put more pressure on authorities, AWU members publicly refused to pay their taxes, staged long vigils outside the Alake's palace, and arranged an audit of the Sole Native Authority System (SNA) finance records. Along with their objective of ending the tax on women, they demanded representation for women on the SNA's executive council.

By late 1947, Abeokuta authorities began forbidding women from organizing parades or demonstrations, denying them the necessary permits. Undeterred, Ransome-Kuti and her fellow organisers declared that they were planning "picnics" and "festivals" instead, drawing up to 10,000 participants to their demonstrations – some of which involved altercations with police.  Ransome-Kuti trained women in how to deal with the tear gas canisters sometimes thrown at them, and the AWU used its membership dues to fund legal representation for arrested members.  According to one story, when a British district officer shouted at Ransome-Kuti to shut her women up, she responded "You may have been born, but you were not bred! Would you speak to your mother like that?" The West African Pilot described her as the "Lioness of Lisabi".

Tensions between AWU protesters and authorities came to a head in February 1948 when the Alake compared AWU women to "vipers that could not be tamed" and banned Ransome-Kuti from entering the palace for political meetings. Immediately afterwards, AWU members blocked the palace entrance and refused to let the visiting British district officer leave. The incident concluded with a scuffle when Ransome-Kuti grabbed hold of the steering wheel of the district officer's car and refused to let go "until he pried her hand loose".  Public sympathy grew in support of the women. Throughout early 1948, AWU members continued to protest the tax, fighting with petitions, press conferences, letters to newspapers, and demonstrations. After more demonstrations in late April of that year, the Alake finally responded to the women's demands, suspending the tax on women and appointing a special committee to look into the AWU's complaints. 

In early 1949, the AWU's efforts led to the temporary abdication of the Alake. Newspapers across Nigeria published stories about the event, and Ransome-Kuti's work with the AWU became widely publicised.

Yahaya bello president of who?? Maybe president if goats Sha!

Are you equating Kogi people with goats
He ruined the state for eight years, not so

Iamgrey5:
They are not playing a game

Northerners are genius when it comes to politics

They want a Southerner to contest against Atiku and probably lose the election.

This is better than Adamu's plan of Lawan which is still going to lead to a loss but the party will implode.

Hmmm......................quite logical.

DOTian:
The way these northern governors are over dramatizing their so called support for southern president is suspicious. It all looks like they are playing game by always yelling and brandishing their much vaunted support for a "Southern president" in front of the television cameras, while they're busy clearing every obstacle for the sole northern candidate in the APC, Lawan. The more you look , the less you see. These governors are in bed with Buhari. If you seriously believe that northern governors will seriously rise up against Buhari to fight for the interest of the South, after most of them openly derided the issue of "zoning", then you are living in a fools paradise.

You are a thinker. Please keep it up and spread your ability to others so we can have enough thinkers in our midst instead of just drifters chasing after the latest trend.
