Very desperate man

His ultra-desperation alone is more than enough ground for his rejection.
You'd think his placenta was buried in Aso Rock.
The Thief only seeks to extend his Lagos looting empire to our coffers in Abuja.

In sane climes, the toad-eyed crook would be wallowing in incarceration.

MartinsD12:
He is going no where at this point, I call on PDP to push forward atiku and the lion of Judah wike

Smart you!

That's exactly what will pan out should Tinubu feature on the ballot.
The pee-pooing thief will be annihilated North and South before 12 noon on election day.

LeoDeKing:
All the politicians eyeing the presidential seat are scared of challenging the Jagaban.

Instead, they paid their urchins to keep testing the waters through social media.

The more reason we have had high volume of influx in the social media mostly by ipob pigs from Afghaneastern.

Anyway, jagaban had foreseen these challenges and none of these overgrown puppies shake him.

[/s]

Personally, I'm not opposing pee-pooing Tinubu because I feel he stands the least of chances of becoming president...not at all.
I'm just keen to see the two major parties field young, cerebral and above all ELECTABLE candidates.

Tinubu will only waste the APC slot even if he gets the ticket. There's zero chance of him becoming president with Nigeria's current political configuration. He will lose both North and South.

Buhari's gross all-round failure isn't even as amusing anymore as the impudence of his media men towards hapless tax-paying Nigerians.
These 1di0ts have no regard for us at all.

"Electricity supply has improved under Buhari..."
Just imagine what this malnourished-looking cretin is throwing at us?

Peng12345:
Please how can I tag these people and remind them to protest against Buhari?

*Cost of diesels has gone up
No petrol
*FG is planning to tax all the highways in the country
*No electricity
*No Job
*Corruption has skyrocketed
*Naira is no longer #250/$ but 580/$
*Loaf of bead sold for #200 then is now #500
*Bag of rice is now over #30,000
*Insecurity is on the high, bandits & Boko haram


I don't use twitter, can someone please call them out on Twitter?
Are we going to remain like this

Imagine if GEJ was still in power and all these are happening? What has changed that no one can speak up?

The answer is religion/ethnicity.

To some stupefied relics, nurturing the NW-SW political alliance takes preeminence over the masses' welfare.
It doesn't matter if everyone dies of hunger as long as SW produces the next president, so they can continue serving in Tinubu's media team where they can feed fat on tax-payers resources.

Such is the level of wickedness of Tinubu and his lackeys.

Nigerialabalaba:
if u no wan become Aregesola, Prof ,no mind dem ipob terrorists and atiku boys dem wey dey look for weak candidate against atiku o.

no go contest against jagaban unless u wan lose.

Your pee-pooing thieving crook shall never be Nigeria's president.

jlinkd78:
A statement that Buhari would soon deny and distance himself from

You know him very well.
He will dissociate himself from any such plan and put the blame on his appointees; in a bid to avoid denting his "saintly" garb before gullible Nigerians.


For the first time in the history of democratic governance, we have a president who absolves himself from the failings of people he unilaterally appointed into his cabinet!

UstazAhmed:
We know those who want to destroy the APC party for their hatred against Muslim leadership. But we will disappoint them because we have the voting strength

Ustazi Ahmad, Asalamu alaikum to you.
I couldn't agree more. Don't mind the PDP supporters.
They don't know that by virtue of your Islamic faith and APC membership, you still buy a liter of PMS for N87 and a bag of rice for N7,500 .

The PDP wailers aren't aware that groceries are subsidized when you walk into a store and announce that you profess same faith as the president.

Mooh247:





Nigeria suffers from deliberate manmade hyper inflation

You don't have food sufficiency yet you close your land borders to people who have more than enough and need market to sell cheaply

You prioritised Cow herders against agrarian farmers just because of ethnic affiliation as if only cow beef and milk can sustain Nigerians

You increase Tax, VAT, Custom duty, all within five years and expect prices of goods not to go up

You Tax Sugar, still tax softdrink , cooking gas and wheat yet wonder why people can't eat well

You removed Petroleum subsidy, increased electricity Tariffs, increase custom duty on Generators and Solar power equipment when Nigeria barely have 3000 megawatt of electricity for 200 million people


Buhari is a sadist soldier that believes in tough love, and think hardship would improve Nigerian economy through capitalism

Unfortunately Nigeria can only survive through socialism and welfare system.. with subsidised education, agriculture, petroleum and forex




.

Yet you supported and promoted his candidacy twice, Solmus, Techmo, ...

Uqoha:
Ondo is so beautiful.

Beautiful?

How's this even a city in the first place?
Just look at the sort of thing we are advertising to the world in the year 2022!
Decades of gross maladministration has completely confined the brains of most Nigerians to the stone-age.

It's really sad.

ArewaNorth:
No aspirant from the South can stand against the national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, on the contest for the presidency ahead of 2023, a chieftain of the ruling party, Senator Abu Ibrahim, has said.

Can someone tell this deluded dreg that NW and SW alone didn't make Buhari president in 2015?
Unpatriotic 1d1ots trying to reduce the presidency to a tool for political compensation. It doesn't matter the pathetic level the country has fallen under Buhari. All that matters is how to install an even greater potential disaster as president just to satisfy the ethno-religious cravings.

We shall see how you'll install that thieving pee-pooing crook as president.

ityP:
Buhari no send anybody papa. His sole aim was to be president. He doesn't care about APC. Know this and know peace

Incisive!
Comment of the day.

I have told Tinubu's lackeys same thing umpteen times.

Indispensable85:
We didn't see these laws when oshiomhole and his EXCO were dissolved. Nobody issued a 21days notice. It was abrupt. Infact the notice for the emergency NEC meeting was not up to 7days. [b]Lawless nation. Abeg Buhari should do and go jooor. He has damaged alot of thing[/b]s.

No, you can't suddenly jump ship now just because Buhari's boys are making a mincemeat of your paymaster, Tinubu.
Sai baba!

Banning the club will come back and hunt the premier league
It will reduce the worth for new buyers

Yes. That's true, but more importantly, it could contribute towards ridding the world of Hitler 2.0

maisams01:
This is a slap to your office Mr. Chairman sir for someone to say you have been removed, infact,this warrant for another postponment to enable a hitch free convention Sir

What do you expect?
That a renowned crook like Tinubu could even muster the temerity to aspire for presidency tells all the story of a pathetic 3rd-world country on the verge of complete collapse.
It goes to show how badly governance standard has been lowered and how rotten our value system is.

If a man that has ceaselessly looted Lagos State for over 23 years yet unable to build a single hospital good enough to treat himself could still manage to find some deranged youth promoting his 2023 ambition, do we need a soothsayer to tell us where Nigeria is headed?

Thank you OP.
Nigeria under Jonathan was part of the "MINT-class" economies, closely chasing after the BRICs, and was by far Africa's number 1 FDI destination.
Inflation was single-digit, PMS dispensed at N87, USD at N187, VAT at 5% and with lesser taxes and a steadily increasing purchasing power.

...but what do we have today? Buhari/APC has completely reversed all our economic gains. Everything has gone downhill under the satanic broom-waving party that has reduced our dear country to the poverty capital of the world.
Our total debt stock now stands at a frightening N38 trillion, a double-digit inflation, increased VAT, multiple exploitative taxes, PMS at N162/liter, almost N600/USD with purchasing power at an all-time low!

They have battered every single aspect of our national life with their gross incompetence, deep sectionalism and ethno-religious bigotry.

...and despite all these, you'll still find some stupefied dregs rooting out of ethnic/religious sentiment for another potential disaster in Tinubu.

Maxymilliano:
Amaechi VS Omehia 2007.

Votes casted at elections belong to the political party and not the candidate.

Sir Celestine Omehia was removed from office in October 2007 after holding office for five months. The supreme court at that time ruled that he usurped Mr Amaechi's ticket for the election and accordingly should be handed back to the rightful candidate in the eyes of the law.

On this ground, Justice Inyang Ekwo's ruling is sound.

Simple!

olatuns2017:
Court sacks Ebonyi Lawmakers for defecting to the PDP.


Another one allows 9 Edo lawmakers who defected to the PDP to control the House

while


those APC Lawmakers who refused to defect to the PDP are not allowed into chambers.




Solve the equation yourself

Crisis (factionalization) is the only legally-valid ground for defection.
The question is: Was there any crisis in the PDP when Umahi defected?

Afamed:
Stop saying what you don't know. The Nigeria constitution is silence about moving from one party to another.

Go educate yourself with Section 68(1) (g) of the 1999 constitution (as amended).

The law is pretty clear on this.
Elections are won by parties, not by candidates.
If you must leave a party on whose platform you got elected, you must first relinquish your position.
You can't take one's party's mandate and gift it to another just like that.

If justice is allowed to run its course, Umahi et al are goners. The Appellate and Supreme courts can't rule otherwise on this.
Our polity must be sanitized.

...but then, I smell something with this attempt at Umahi's removal. Let's hope it isn't about 2023.

The pathetic level Buhari/APC has brought Nigeria isn't as annoying as attempts to further insult our common intelligence by his legion of media spin doctors, through utterly senseless articles as this one.

Awon oloriibu gbogbo.

pavoda:
Ahead of the 2023 Presidential election in Nigeria, frontline candidate Bola Tinubu is planning to break with tradition by picking a fellow Muslim as his running mate in order to receive support in the predominantly Muslim North. It is a move which is unsettling many in the predominantly Christian South. Several associates of the former governor have revealed to The Africa Report how Tinubu plans to win if he gets the APC Presidential ticket -- including on how he plans to capture the South-South vote.

Tinubu is one of the few southern Muslims in the country that has a clear shot at the Presidency. Others are former Governor Babatunde Fashola of Lagos State, who is currently the Minister of Works and Housing and former Governor Rauf Aregbesola of Osun State, who now serves as the Minister of Interior. However, both Fashola and Aregbesola lack the political base to win the Presidential primary. Every other southerner with a Presidential ambition is a Christian.

Historically in Nigeria, persons of the same faith hardly ever run on a joint Presidential ticket because of national divisions. When a Muslim person runs as a Presidential candidate, their running mate must be a Christian and vice versa.

But while Tinubu’s Muslim/Muslim strategy may boost his chances in the North, this could alienate the Christian states in the South as well as the Christian minority areas of the North commonly referred to as the Middle Belt. How could Tinubu navigate such a challenge?

The Christian Association of Nigeria says it will not entertain a Muslim/Muslim joint ticket by any political party this year.

“Already Christians are being killed even though two Muslims are not running Nigeria. Imagine how bad it will be if we have two Muslims in power? Any political party that picks two candidates of the same faith for a Presidential election will fail. We also will not encourage a Christian/Christian ticket,” says Rev. Bayo Oladeji, a Spokesman for the Christian Association of Nigeria.

It's a bound-to-fail ticket, OP.
The north isn't composed entirely of only Muslims and that ticket I assure you will even struggle badly to win the SW.
He shall lose woefully even if he manages to get his party's ticket.

"About this time seven years ago, candidate Buhari was crisscrossing the landscape, proudly declaring how he would “change” Nigeria. When it came to President Goodluck Jonathan, for instance, the All Progressives Congress hopeful routinely assailed the existence of the presidential fleet, swearing he would travel commercially if elected.

it may look like a joke now, but at a meeting with Nigerians in the United Kingdom, he is remembered for asking, “What is the difference between me and those who elected us to represent them?”

Answering his own question, Buhari said, “Absolutely nothing! Why should [the] Nigerian President not fly with [the] Nigerian public?”

He swore he would bring Nigerian Airways. “We shall do this by bringing all the aircraft in the presidential fleet into the Nigerian Airways and within a year increase the fleet to about 20,” Buhari said."

"As Buhari and his entourage enjoy life in London for another two weeks, paid for by Nigeria’s poor, the deprived and the cheated, ignoring the chaos at home and the warning signs of a country in the last stages of decay, his wife is in Dubai: rebellious, resentful, and removed, their seven years in control a lesson in exploitation."


Of course, he also swore he would never embark on medical tourism, saying he would make Nigerian hospitals “functional” and thereby protect public fund.

But what about the present, as “Mr Integrity” returns to London, in one of the jets he swore to sell or send into Nigeria Airways, to continue to squander on himself the scarce public funds he swore he would preserve? Is he smiling in pleasure, idly picking his teeth in front of the television, or is he in conceivably embarrassed?

As Buhari and his entourage enjoy life in London for another two weeks, paid for by Nigeria’s poor, the deprived and the cheated, ignoring the chaos at home and the warning signs of a country in the last stages of decay, his wife is in Dubai: rebellious, resentful, and removed, their seven years in control a lesson in exploitation.

In their absence, one man bidding to replace them in Aso Rock and make Nigeria into Lagos State continues to sow quotations.

Bola Tinubu, 80 going 70, has said, among others, “No amount of intimidation can stop me. I am ready to get dirty. I am out to become President of Nigeria.”

Tinubu’s Nigeria, should he have his way, would be infinitely worse. In Lagos State, he has demonstrated his concept of “robust democracy” to mean one-man-only-vote where that man’s name is his.

As I have written previously, I am willing to grant him the benefit of the conversation if he publicly renounces his anti-democratic behavior in Lagos since he left office as governor in 2006, and discloses the source of his wealth. That is democracy, and it would be even more so when we invoke the concept of justice.

Otherwise, Tinubu is a mistake Nigerians must resoundingly reject and refuse to add to Buhari.Whatever his image-makers write for him to say, Nigeria cannot be returned to a foreign hospital bed."

Oga only Russia know how to float a space station in space ..no other people can .... they own the technology

Ask yourself why America would work with Russia if they can do it alone

Russians are the kings of mathematics

This is wrong, very, very wrong.
How about doing a little research on the ISS?

Laggafin:
Watch the space.. if he's not humiliated and trounced in the PDP primary.. tag me here I'd send you voucher of 10k

No. I don't need your voucher.

Since it'd be impossible to have a bet with you physically, let's do it this way:

I posit that Atiku SHALL win the PDP primaries. If he loses, I shall pay a reparation of N1,000,000 in form of a give-away to 100 Nairalanders but if he wins, you do the same.
Please indicate your acceptance and the possible penalty against anyone who fails to meet their obligation after the primaries (Ayelala, Sango, Ogun, etc may be invoked for example).

I'm waiting...so we can call the mods and prominent Nairalanders as witnesses.

Laggafin:
He has declared his serial defeat again.. infact this will be the worst defeat he's ever experienced in his political journey

"Defeat" to who?

Michelle70:
Jonathan in time of plenty was wasteful.

As a business man, I know that the time of plenty is the time to plan for the future.

Nigeria case is lack of progressive leaders and tribalistic youths.
Lagos is what it is because of leaders that plan for the future.
look at China, when they were busy producing China phones, we make mockery of them that there products doesn't last, but today I am typing this with China phone and u are probably reading with Chinese phone.

2moro, ur children will still blame govt while ur voursemates could be millionaires

[/s]

How do you mean "time of plenty"? Why are Nigerians this gullible?


What is the reason for borrowing, if I may ask?
Weren't the loans taken to mitigate revenue shortfall?
Are you aware that Buhari/APC has borrowed far more than Nigeria could ever earn in 5 years even if brent crude were to sell for $150/barrel?
For your information, this satanic APC government has within 7 years borrowed more than ALL previous Nigerian governments since independence combined! That humungous amount if not looted and mismanaged should be enough to keep us afloat even if we do not sell a single drop of oil in their first 5 years.

By the way, Brent Crude is currently selling at about $105/barrel.
Add that to the increased VAT, electricity tariff, customs duty, stamp duty charges on bank accounts, yet the economy keeps crashing daily.

AbdulHakeem44:
Yeah, that is because just a week into this military operations in Ukraine, we have seen series of propaganda in the western Media, so if an average person tries not to believe anything coming from them, it is justifiable. Why shutting down Russian news platform on Facebook and YouTube, so we can have access to their media only, they want us to hear their own narrations and not from the other side, I that what you call fair?? I choose not to believe whatever they post until they are fair and stop being hypocrite.

All is fair in war, brother.

That was very kind of you.

SlyDev:
What about Enugu Anambra imo and Abia?

99 percent of Federal Government appointments in enugu are igbos, ibo are worse.

This is where Yoruba should get sense, both ibo and Fulani will not pick Yoruba first before their people

NLNG, Shell and TotalEnergies (I can't confirm the status at Chevron) have more Yoruba employees than Niger-Deltans.
Imagine what will happen if the Niger-Deltans decide to "get sense" too.
