God bless you brethren. I keep telling Southerners that the North, especially the elite, political, business and educated class, are far more sophisticated in thinking than most give them credit for.

I was arguing your point recently to hateful IPOBians here that Northerners are not ingrates who repay good with evil, treachery and dishonorable behavior as they are always happy to do and now goading Buni, Malami etal to do on their behalf.

Buhari, Buni, Malami and co might not want Tinubu but are they the gods of all Northerners?

Especially the very powerful and influential Northerners who know there will be life, permanent interests and relationships to maintain beyond 2023 and beyond Buhari and his crew?

Even looking back at recent history, how many did not want Buhari in. 2013-2014 yet BAT stuck with him? Where was Malami, Buni, Bagudu etal then?

Of course. We are done with PMB, we will look forward to the future with possible alliance that will give us hope and optimism.
Many Northerners are concerned abt the healthy political future of North and West; we are only divided on whether to support Tinubu or Osinbajo with majority having faith in Osinbajo than Tinubu. However, supporting either of them won't amount to being a betrayal!

DanseMacabre:
Now this isn't meant to be bigoted in any way, I'm simply stating an observation. I've noticed that amongst my friends and contacts, the ones mostly in support of Putin (and Russia) are Muslims, and at that, mainly those of Northern extraction.

The reason for this is not far-fetched: they aren't necessarily in support of Russia's invasion or against Ukraine, they are simply against the USA's interests. Northern Muslims have this inbred aversion to American concerns owing to the US's long-standing battles with extremist Islamic countries and ideologies. Unfortunately, hardline Islamic preachers and clerics have painted America as being anti-Islam and this antipathy has trickled down to the masses who take this uninformed stance, forgetting that the USA also waged wars in Vietnam and Korea, which are not Muslim nations. The USA also had major differences with Cuba, an overwhelmingly Catholic nation, that culminated in the Cuban Missile Crisis during Fidel Castro's rule. What about Noreaga, the Panamanian dictator who was ousted by a US-led invasion?


Now the most laughable aspect of these pro-Putin Africans is that they compare Russia and Israel. Their sentiment is straightforward: if you are complaining about Russia's invasion of Ukraine, you also have to complain about Israel's antics in Palestine. However, as any student of history worth his salt knows, you cannot even compare the two situations. In fact, Russia is even more akin to Israel in the sense that the same way Israel is displacing Palestinians from their ancestral homes (which historically belonged first to the Israelis) is the same way much of the Donbas regions were depopulated of their ethnic Ukrainian population and replaced with Russians. That is the major reason why those regions are even pro-Russian to begin with.


Omo make I relax.

You have lost ur humanity for supporting US atrocities on people by delusionally thinking that US is a God's own land while contrary to ur believe US is built on evil and propagation of evil.
US created and sponsored all insurrections and uprises in Islamic Nations and after using them they tag them as terrorists. Hillary Clinton confessed that US created Taliban to fight Russia, US created and funded ISIS activities to fight Pro-Russian Govt just like they created Taliban. Many people defend their Nations and US call them terrorists but if they're their ally they call them freedom fighters. How on eath can u support US for spilling the blood of more than 1.5m Iraqi people and expect Muslims to support them. Do u really know Iraq and how US destroyed them now? You don't have heart in ur chest but a gabnage bin!
Look at Libya, Syria, Somalia, Afghanistan, they're all in difficult situation because of US policies of imposing the so called democracy in other people's land which doesn't conform the culture and traditions of others.
Forget history that u and I don't know but it is obvious there was no Israel before 1945. After they were given land around Palestine area, Israel started annexing and grabbing their land and Palestinians defend their land and u and Westerners out of bigotry call them terrorists.

DeLaRue:
See Tinubu in Ekiti.

No wonder the Northern cabal quickly dropped Fayemi as a potential candidate. They are now looking for someone from the South South.

No politician is going to secure every vote in his region, but as far as the South West goes, no politician's name inspire interest and mystery as Tinubu's. Even in far away Ondo & Ekiti, his is the dominant name on people's lips for the past decade.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ezmmKFmPBgE

Stop this propaganda that Northern cabal do this and that. The fact that El Rufai, Badaru and Bagudu wanted Fayemi for their political goals doesn't mean North wanted him but only those 3 guys.
We in the North who support Tinubu, support him because he deserves to be repaid and has what it takes to be a competent President!

LordIsaac:
That was how Buhari persisted too, only to come and give us "Change". We don't want a Fulani government again, please.

Your opinion is very disgusting by insinuating on tribal attack rather than individualistic.
If it will go tribal then rest assured Atiku will win this game.

GoodHardDick:
This man and Tinubu should rest!

We need a young vibrant leader for president and not these old cargos!

Who are the young and vibrant leaders?

Our return to democracy in 1999, almost all the political class that occupied most Governorship, NASS seats were between 32-50yrs and most of them messed up.

Don't be hypocritical by endorsing anybody above 50yrs and tag him youth just because u surreptitiously want to avoid some candidates.

The same youths who are so ignorant, arrogant, tribalist by always coming out to public media and issue threats against other tribes out of emotions u want us to present to this fragile Nation?

The same youths who don't know nor understand governance and will go there and spend their tenure learning how to govern?

If I may ask u about competent youths, I'm very much upbeat u will start mentioning drug addicts in music industry who don't even know how to handle their relationships or pretentious activists who are out to catch cruise.

Atiku, Tinubu and other older generations started and established their political career at youthful age and rose through the ranks. They suffered all sort of life threatening challenges to become who they're today but today's youths are so lazy that they are asking for power seats at the platter of gold.

If we insist on only the youths, the children of Atiku, Tinubu and the current elite class who know nothing abt power and the sociopolitical nature of the country will be presented to u and u don't have choice but to vote for them.

Leadership isn't limited by age especially at 60-80yrs but competence!

13-17yrs girls rampantly get pregnancies and join prostitution crew in their backyard but all they care about on Nairaland is the old issue of child marriages across RN!

Oga rest joor. there is nothing healthy in your relationship with West with your nonsense hisbah destroying investments domiciled in Lagos and Ogun state.
Is your own islam different from the one practiced in Saudi? why are they not destroying beer there like you crazy fellows do here? no wonder those ones are progressing while you lots here are moving backwards. Shioor!

Only animals think that what west do is what is call progress. I have never seen dumb creature like u people who are mentally inferior and always think whatever west accept is what is progress.
Do u think pornography, bestielity, immorality and all sort of indecency west do is a definition of progress?
Stop comparing the faiths of people, why always bitter abt what doesn't concern u with excessive religious fanaticism? Are u not ashamed that with all the blunder, inconsistencies, and the fact that ur religion is trailing out of track and we don't care to put a word in ur affairs but u always say all fucking things abt others?
Just respect others' faith and move on

Interesting time!
I'm disappointed by CAN for being mentally inferior, instead of communicating this issue to Nigerians they're communicating it with foreigners who have no legal right to decide how we should do things. That is why I like my people, they don't give a Bleep to any foreign element nor give in to such mental inferiority!

flokii:
See how Yorubas are protecting Dangote's investments in Lagos whereas beverages and other drink companies in Ogun and Lagos get their own investments destroyed in Kano by hisbah.. this is the kind of country we find ourselves in.

The main reason hisbah are allowed free hand to operate is to destroy drinks and beverages from South knowing fully well that Northerners don't have such investments. It's a tactical move to impoverish Southern investors hiding it under religious beliefs. The only things they want in the North are the things Northerners invest in but they want to keep pushing their cows, tomatoes, millets etc. for Southerners to buy, closing the border in Benin republic so South won't have other options.

Nonsense. You are always angry with the healthy economic and political relationship between North and west.
North don't like beer and ban the sell and consumption of it because it is injurious to health just like codeine and other drugs. So, why should u take it there?
Which beverages are destroyed beside beer?
North and west have been engaging in businesses for many centuries.
Always using ethno-religions bigotry as an excuse to spread hatred

ratiken:
All noise.... The West unfortunately is ahead of these guys and they are showing alot f their hands unprepared. This will be a long cold war.

China should not attempt to play with the international trade which is the edge they have over the West.

Why you people are born cowards. China suffered to become what they're today and they rose through difficulties in the shortest time that no Nation has ever done so. China has more friendly trade ally than US and have strategically taken over the whole world

U.S has more than $26.trillion debt and the Chinese do own a lot of U.S. debt—about $1.1 trillion as of early 2020. Japan and China own about 5.2% and 4.6% of the U.S. debt, respectively. Japanese-owned debt doesn't receive nearly as much negative attention as Chinese-owned debt, ostensibly because Japan is seen as a friendlier nation and the Japanese economy hasn't been growing at a 7% clip year after year. The other countries that hold the most U.S. debt include the U.K., Brazil, and Ireland. So, forget all that debt issues and invest, when it's time to enjoy the debt, enjoy it. Let me help u with the site that can help u see more of U.S heavy debt profile:

SUFFERInSMILIIN:
I can see you do not look at history and what is going on unfortunately Russia is now Falling Into the Trap of the West. Go back to WWI and WWII where coal was the dominant Force. After WWII what happened the price of coal started rocketing add everybody change to diesel and natural gas because the coal power stations were also too expensive to maintain and the trains. Today unfortunately the Western countries Europe and North America have laid a trap for Russia oil and gas producers in the world but the deadline of 2030 hundred percent of the cars in Europe and America must be electric some of these people are trying to speed it up by making natural gas and oil unproductive and very expensive to keep it off faster. Here is what I mean to generate 1 megawatt of electricity from renewable sources like geothermal wind and solar is above 60 US dollar. To generate 1 megawatt of electricity from gas is 190 US dollar. Generate 1 megawatt of electricity from oil or petrol is 250 US dollar. You can see how the west is trying to kill the Oil and Gas Industry off because they really have no interest in it. What this means is the price of gas and oil will become so expensive that everybody would be forced to switch to renewable sources it is the plan. Fortunately some blind people like Russia's President Putin Saudi Arabia United Arab Emirates Islamic Republic of Iran and Nigeria have fallen in the Trap of the Western countries. You just have to look at what happened in coal after WWII it was the same thing. And 80 years later the same issue is happening again with fossil fuel. Who will want to invest in something which is so expensive and also expensive to maintain when renewable energy is 3 times cheaper

These prediction doesn't make sense considering the energy need by industries.
Renewable energy can't satisfy 20% of the world energy demand in the next 2 decades.

Is it another jihad money?

ZAKAT
zakat is 2.5% of wealth that has been in one's possession for a lunar year. If wealth amounts to less than a threshold figure, termed the nisab, then no zakat is payable. If wealth amounts to more than the nisab, zakat becomes obligatory.
CONDITIONS OF PAYING ZAKAT
Zakah Performer. Muslim. Every Muslim who has attained the age of puberty (bolough) and owns enough assets is required to pay zakah.
Zakah Asset. Full ownership. A Muslim will only be required to pay zakah if he or she has full and legal ownership of an asset. Assets intended for increasing wealth.
IMPORTANCE OF ZAKAT
As one of the pillars of Islam, zakat is a form of obligatory charity that has the potential to ease the suffering of millions. With the literal meaning of the word being 'to cleanse,' Muslims believe that paying zakat purifies, increases and blesses the remainder of their wealth.

duro4chang:
Your knowledge of him is overrated. He left APC nothing happened now he is leaving PDP and nothing will happen. Mark it he has diminish. You are the only one praising him. For your information I am from the north. Finally you do not need foul language to butrress your point.

U are from North butt failed to understand the political nature of the North.

I'm not saying he will win election under the new party but his influence will hurt PDP immensely come 2023. Those who should vote for PDP supposed he will remain with them will vote for another party by weakening PDP more. Show me a single Northerner who can have a mammoth followers like Kwankwaso without giving a dime, Kwankwaso doesn't give money but his legacy in KANO in education, empowerment and infrastructure made him people's choice!

HitSong:
The senile BASTARD old fool will surely prefer anyone from his clan, whether good or bad.

I'll continue to say this, NIGERIA CAN NEVER PROGRESS IN THIS UNHOLY PARASITIC EVIL UNION.


AWUSA-FOOL ANIS HAVE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO OFFER THAN STEALING, MISMANAGEMENT AND CORRUPTION.

Compare ur state's performance with those u mentioned and assess who is who!

Hatred will never allow u to grow. You have worst Governor but ur mind is on others' performance.....

AustineE1:
Just listen to your self,a people wants to give a name that represents the original owners of the land,the Islamic core north saw everything wrong in it. Systematic land grabbing and fulanization of the local govt is stale,the natives has come to self realization, so much of 'one indivisible north'.

Do u know the people of Barikin Ladi?
You just want the crazy senator to make a move that will cause chaos and u will come again and say other rubbish. All those who proposed name changes have strong reasons unlike this ethnocentric reason.
You always choose to be bigot!

duro4chang:
You people overrated and still overrtting him on nairaland. He had no large followers. Where are the follower when Ganduje was dealing with PDP?

You know nothing abt him but u are here ranting. No single politician in the North has Kwankwaso supporters besie PMB. I live most of my life in KANO, so stop this delusion.

Do u think wha happened in Kano is acceptable?

Osilama1:
which kwankwanso last presidential election under PDP kwankwanso couldn't get more votes than tambuwai who declared his intentions late self... Make Ina node hype paper weight politicians...

PDP has very poor delegate system for choosing candidates which favoured elites from ur LG that aren't even known or residing there. His popularity was obvious when he was in APC because ordinary members of the party are party delegates.

More....

9th Assembly has turned out to be the best in the history of our democracy. From being called rubber stamb to passing out effective bills and constitutional amendments that address most agitations Nigerians have been protesting.

A bill for an Act to alter the constitution of Nigeria to provide for referendum for self determination

Nays 90
Ayes 0

Eyinanya Abaribe and Ike Ekweremadu escaped through the window to abstain from voting

The Senator is insensitive to the possible crisis his motive may lead to. He accused them of baseless ethno-religious bias but he is so selfish to have never mind that his support to change the name is also ethno-religiously motivated and can be perceived as having a sinister motive!

All those renting about Ukraine know nothing about US hypocrisy. The chameleon US can do unexpected things by trading innocent people's lives for economic gain!

Maxymilliano:
I see lot of fools here rallying behind Russia, you can't justify the killing of innocent people just because US did the same thing. Glad you don't have the say in all this sanctions, so continue barking

PALAPALA02:
These Russians are really shameless oh

You dey invade another person peaceful country unprovoked and still wan dey live una own life as normal as if nothing happened

You wan dey play ball while your soldiers are invading and killing / bombing innocent citizens of ukraine.

You can’t eat your cake and have it

toyinjimoh:
Innocent Russians will suffer for what they know nothing about aswel as their dictator killing innocent Ukrainians more heavy still coming if Putin did not cease fire

Israel everyday (even yesterday) kill(ed) innocent Palestinian children and women through aerial bombardments. The attack on Israel started by Palestinian because of annexation and illegal and provocative coccupation of their lands. They defend themselves but they're tagged terrorists by western media and now hyocritically justifying and calling Ukrainian freedom fighters!
Every single day Israel attack them but people like u whose religion is extremely hated and vehemently rejected by Jews jubilate over it because of ur delusional attachment with the so called holy land that u are not wanted nor loved in.
When Fedric Kanoute was playing for Sevilla he was fined $3000 for showing support to the thousands of Palestinians killed and hundred thousands displaced by Israel.
This double standards and feigning sympathy for selective group of people is the highest level of hypocrisy.
FIFA has taken very contentious action which is clearly biased and don't in anyway conform with common practices of football rules.
Russians don't have power over the decisions of their Govt, though I understand that FIFA & UEFA are puppets of western politicians and want use every tool to stockpile pressure on Russia to succumb to their demands but in a very wrong way, full of double standards.

The whites must taste the suffering they have been putting the world in.
It is time for them to suffer the wrath of war they've been instigating in other parts of the world.

KaluwisxPRO:
He will divide APC northern votes. A win for the Peoples Demonic Poverty Party

How is it possible?
It is a move to burry PDP in the North. He was in PDP last election and Kwankwaso has largest followers in the North after PMB. This is a big boost for APC!

ImmaculateJOE:
Taraba is a Christian State.
If there are 100 people in Taraba state, 70 or more of them are Christians, yet the deputy gov is always a Muslim,
But in Kaduna where Muslims are about 55 and Christians are about 45, they have Muslims as gov and deputy.

Nonsense, hypocrite!
Go and check the figure well. North is doing well in their permutation with sensitive religious tolerance. In Kaduna, the Christian Deputy was so loyal that he was given Senate ticket and lost. How could El Rufai win the election if the Christian proportion who are mainly in PDP as u quoted is true?
Your bias claim is so wrong that Nasarawa, Kogi, Kwara, Niger, Gombe all give Christians deputy positions despite being clear that they can win election without Christians in those States. The likeness of Benue and Gombe is the same but why Benue doesn't care at all about these sensitivity?
We are fully aware of some religiosity, anti-Muslim surreptitious campaign of CAN in fragile Northern states. Very dirty campaign!
You can cry baselessly about ur concern but somebody brought clear allegations but u are criticising him instead of countering him with facts.

Keep playing the game, we will win this game at the end. Watch out!

franchasng:
What do you mean by allowing the West to push them to war with Russia?


Did Ukraine invade Russia?


Okay Russia claim Ukraine wanted to join NATO, why not wait till they join then you attack them and if NATO dare stop you, you show NATO that you are the most powerful nation as you want the world to believe.



Russian invasion of Ukraine have no moral justification in 2022. 2022 is not 1960 nor 1990.


How can you wake up and invade a country, throwing bombs, missiles, etc as if they attacked you first.


If Russia is that strong a nation like they make gullible people like you believe, why can't they invade Estonia or Latvia or Lithuania or even Poland that the world have been using to send military wares into Ukraine?



Putin is a coward who hides his cowardice with threats. Imagine threatening the world with nuclear weapon. If he dares that, Russia will be deleted from the face of earth without any traces of Russia ever again, he should try it.



EU have banned Russian airlines from their airspace, since he is that daring let him dare and send Russian airlines to fly over EU airspace.



Yeye people supporting nonsense.



If you like start mentioning Libya, Iraq, Yemen, Iran, Palestine, Cuba, etc na you sabi

You are hypocrite who choose to be selective in sympathy. You don't have aorta of humanity!

Naijabad:
100% of all terrorist organisations are manned by moslems. True or false?

We aren't dogmatic as u are, we don't just accept what others feed us with no assessment. We have brain to think and reason, the intimidation and religious game has been exposed fully with the recent Russia invasion of Ukraine.

You use some freedom fighters to attack Islamic Nations due to Islamaphobia when they defend themselves u tag them terrorists.
We are terrorists in as much as defending ourselves from modern crusaders is what u call terrorism.

Now tell me the name of those who killed Saddam and Gaddafi?
What is the name of those who killed more than 1m people in Iraq in the name of searching nonexisting weapons of mass destruction?

You must be driven by excessive religious fanaticism and emotional hatred for spitting all these gibberish!

Naijabad:
Shut up. Moslems anywhere and everywhere are either terrorists or potentials.

Nonsense. The whole reasonable people know who are the real terrorists, who intimidate, attack and invade others when they depend themselves u tag them terrorists. Call Muslims terrorists anytime if it is because of self defence.

Go and listen to the real analyses people are doing now about how hypocritical and terrorists u have been for killing millions of Muslims in Iraq, Libya, Syria, Afghanistan for crusade reasons in just 2 decades. You don't at all have aorta of humanity. Go and see how scattered and completely destroyed US and NATO made those afformentioned countries at now. Your comment is very unfortunate.

Selfish people hiding behind democracy to unleash terror on others!

silverlinen:
Because Moslem are terrorists themselves, to them this is the right way to go....for their mind, 30 virgins dey wait for putin in hell .

You are dogmatic with no conscience!
The world has never seen a terror and terrorism like the one committed by the Christian US on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the atrocities committed on Iraqi people that lead to the death of over 1.5m people. The Christian blood bath that caused WW1 and WW2 and the potential WW3. The killings orchestrated by NATO and US in Syria, Libya, Afghanistan which u all justify in the name of democracy surreptitiously unleashing modern crusade.
You never care to look at how ur religion is terrorising the whole world.

Naijabad:
I ask why?

Because the terrorists US and NATO used the same principle Putin is using today to depend his country and killed millions of people in Iraq, hundred thousands in Syria, Afghanistan and Libya. If not because many people are being brainwashed by western media, the atrocities US committed on humanity in the last 3 decades is worst than Hitler's WW2.
They created Taliban and ISIS for a common obvious goal. Those who are not afraid of death and materials life and who are resilient for theit cause will bring US and NATO down sooner or later.

FERNANDEZISBACK:
Did he commit the says crime or not?

Can u outline a single crime he committed and back them with evidence?
