Much respect for Osinbajo. Nigeria missed out. Nigerians truly deserve the leaders they get. The south has been expertly played by the Northerners again. Watch how they support Atiku to win.
My vote still goes to Peter Obi

Was married for 12 years, been widowed for 5 years. This was advice I had drummed into my head even before I got married.
1. Give him peace. Be the sanctuary he needs after he's been through all the world throws at him daily.
2. Pick your battles. Learn to ignore a lot of things. Even when you've caught him at it, sometimes it pays to let it go.
3. You are not the man. Embrace your femininity, your softness and womanhood. Never give that up trying to be equal with him. You are different. Own that.
4. NEVER put the children before him. He is actually number 1. God gave him to you as your partner and gave your children to you both as care givers. Together you are a team who temporarily put the needs of the children first when they are young and dependent. But never forget that he is your partner and he is the one that will be there when the children have grown and gone on to have families of their own. So don't neglect him. Work on building and nurturing your relationship.
5. Words wound. Watch your tongue.
6. Listen to your mother. Watch how she treats your father and apply it. So spoil him, cater to him. Be his biggest cheerleader. Praise and appreciate the littlest thing he does. Create a loving comfortable home for him to come to.

Advice I got from my mother and it worked for me. Good luck to you young'uns.

Congratulations... I hope he's keeping his "sweaty" money to himself too..

You entitled, crazy, Nigerian ladies deserves zilch from men. Not even Indonesian rupees.

"...Nigerian ladies deserves zilch..." Go and learn to speak English. What money do you have? Puffed up twit.

What money? Look at this dirty creep. How many women do you know who sit at home and idly wait for money from their husbands? Most women I know work damn hard. At the very least as hard if not harder than their husbands. You need to change the circle of females you know. But as they say, like calls to like. See who is talking about entitlement. No money or ring or d^ck entitles any self-respecting man to crawl into his woman's bed reeking of dirt, sweat and ho and expect her to fling her legs open just because he's a man. Since you support that kind of behaviour, you are a dirty man yourself. So go take a long hot shower and scrub that rancid d^ck.

Believe these people at your peril.

Buhari can install a gorilla as his successor if he so wants! You are right, he sure can do it! He controls INEC, The Army, The Police and a reasonable amount of the political class up North.

What Buhari can not do is to control the aftermath of such a dangerous decision, because surely, there will be a reaction and a pushback and you know what? Buhari will be in daurra, far away from power to handle that.

Perhaps that would be the catalyst the south needs to come to its senses and break away from this accursed union. The East, West or Niger Delta cannot break away by themselves. We need a united south to stand against the north. Then we can agree to go our seperate ways thereafter. Sounds simplistic but it can be done.

They have turned the east into killing fields and they have started on yorubaland and the 2 groups of fools are still here calling each other afonja and yeebos. You all are too foolish. Southerners don't even know what horrors are coming to them. Make una continue. Dummies.

Entprys:
That place is an Igbo church. So Afenifere must stop dragging yoruba into Igbo mess

What the fvck do you mean by Igbo church? What the hell is wrong with you?

Its been obviously Goodluck Jonathan from the start. With his active participation.

Just came back from the market... Went there with my landlord's son... This afternoon he saw me going out and asked where I was heading to... Told him... He asked if he could accompany me and I said yes! He was getting a few things too (a mop and buckets and so on...)

I've never spoken to him before... I thought he was an arrogant self-absorbed snub... Not my type... He's a few years older... I'm nineteen so he's between twenty one to twenty three... Very fair... Has curly hair which he dyed dirty blond but left the roots black... Pierced both ears... Dad is a police man... So it's insane he allows his son go out looking like a yahoo boy...

Anyways... He and I trekked a little... We barely spoke... I was extremely shy...

We stay in a very quiet predominantly hausa- fulani- yoruba muslim community... After some minutes we finally stopped a bike... He said we would ride together... I told him 'No'... I never tried that sh** with my exes and sure a as hell wouldn't start with him... But after waiting to no avail... I relented...

It was uncomfortable and extremely exciting! Being really close to cute guy! A lot of bad thoughts but I was also scared a neighbour would see he and I and report us to my mum...

We got to the market which is extremely disorganized! We split up... He went his own way to get what he wanted to buy... And I went to the stalls selling tomatoes and pepper and bought some onions from a mallam...

He and I met again... He asked if I was done so we would head back to our compound together... I told him I had to grind them cause the blender at home was faulty...

In the market... There's a section where yoruba women grind tomatoes or egusi etc... We got there... The lady I chose cause her engine was the cleanest started to tease us... My landlord's son is an aje-butter... He was choking turning red...

It felt good... Cause he was a bit humiliated which made me confident...

The woman asked if we were dating... I couldn't say no... Kept laughing throughout... He didn't say anything.... I think it's a good thing... He made it seem as though we were together...

We finished there... Started talking really well... He's funny... Smart too... Plus he's cute so I enjoyed us being seen together as much as being with him...

We went to a cold room to get some chicken... Nothing much happened there... He paid though... I refused cause I had the money... But I couldn't make a scene... We later spent the money on sweets and soft drinks... Which was fun...

His mum called... Asked him to go to his aunt's wine shop to get something... I didn't follow him cause it's already late... Went home alone...

Awwww...cute.

You are not allowed to sell or solicit for customers in any old location. There are rules and they are enforced even for something as 'little' as that. 9ja person, next thing now she will bring plastic table and umbrella and set up 'shop'.

WisdomCanada:
Una never see anything.
Tinubu just bit the Tiger’s tail the moment he said he made Buhari the president of Nigeria.

Boldly saying that it is ‘his turn’ to rule Nigeria, as if over 200 million Nigerians signed the agreement between him and Buhari’s faction of APC.

Tinubu is greedy, power-drunk and irredeemably corrupt. His leaky pampers will soon start leaking uncontrollably when EFCC unleashes mayhem upon him and his camp.
TINUBU CAN NEVER BE THE PRESIDENT OF NIGERIA, THE BLOOD OF THOSE HE KILLED AT LEKKI TOLL GATE WILL HUNT AND HAUNT HIM FOR THE REST OF HIS GREEDY AND SELF-ENTITLED LIFE.

Its as though people have forgotten the role this man played in the murder of those kids at Lekki toll gate. For that fact alone, Tinubu will NEVER rule this country. And he compounds it by demeaning Buhari, whose vindictiveness is only matched by Obasanjo's. I'm almost sorry for him.

GeneralDitari:
This Buhari that supported Fulani of Niger Republic in 1985 for UN Secretary General position against Onu of Nigeria thereby he voting for his tribe instead of country of which he was then Head of State.

Nothing good can come out from him.


Self Determination is the only thing that matters in Nigeria.

We have very short snd selective memories in this country.

Kyase:
It can't win him Nada
Tinubu is over rating himself and he should be careful
Ribadu and Atiku contested under his party but both lost .
Only Buhari was strong enough to win 2015, the winning margin in the south west was not even up to 300k whereas kano votes alone cancelled it, so that dude should stop talking
Was beginning to root for him, until his latest outburst, even heard, some northern governors that are rooting for him backed out too....
There's limit to what you say in politics at a given time....
Even as Buhari fuckup, no try insult am, we still listen to him...

See Ganduje's face!! The guy seems to have had enough and wants out!!!!

Sheuns:
Some people made it possible for you to be governor in 1999 too. You didn’t do it alone. Baba leave story.

You played a role no doubt but do not take credits of members of the nPDP that collapsed PDP structure then. The total votes from the south west for APC was less than 2.7M, Kaduna and Kano had more than the entire votes of the South west for the APC.

I just hope we the younger generations are learning from our elders mistakes. The closest neighbors to Yorubas are the Igbos, most of us born here have known Igbos all our lives because we’ve lived in harmony, but when it comes to political alignments Yorubas and Igbos suddenly hate each other. Our elders planted these seeds of enmity in us for I don’t know why. If you ask them, they’ll say “Igbo o da” without giving any concrete reason why they said so. The same thing goes to Igbos they don’t like Yorubas for reasons I still do not understand.

The Hausa/Fulani that we keep aligning with keep playing us and we still continue running back to them. A United South will send shivers down the spines of the entire North; they know that and pray it never happens. I just hope the new generations abolish all these bullshit hate and come together as one. Maybe we should be called Yoruba/Igbo

Best response i've seen here

Amber is an abuser. The fact that she is female is irrelevant. She is a violent, manipulative liar and I wish Johnny Depp had listened when he was advised not to marry her. But he's a guy: thinks with his d^ck until it is too late.

My favourite band of all time.

Advocate500:
igbo criminals governors fought obi not the masses, igbos are reasonable not like those who marketed Buhari as a good candidate for their selfish interests that have been thwarted. Of What use will it be for igboman to have a criminal in the name of my people without any tangible impact?

Now you are distinguishing between the politicians and the masses. Do you do the same for other tribes? You tar everyone with the same brush.

ybalogs:
Doyin Okukpe made an analogy on Arise TV that has stuck in my mind since I heard it.
It captures the disconnect between our rulers and the situation of the common Nigerian.

He said that the titanic was a big ship with many floors. So luxurious at the top deck that the first class passengers could easily believe the story that it was unsinkable.
The lower decks were packed with lower class people that weren't even counted when planning for lifeboats.

And when the titanic started sinking, water started filling up from under the ship. The lower decks where the lower class were

While those in the lower floors were struggling and dying,, those in the first class cabins on the higher floors had no idea that their end was nearby, they were making merry in the grand ballroom with champagne and fine dining, still living the lie that their ship was unsinkable.

As the ship tilted and made irregular movements, they looked around them at all the luxurious fittings and despite all the signs that they were in trouble, they just didn't get it.

By the time they realized the danger they were in, it was too late to save themselves.

Nigeria is sinking, those at the bottom know it, while those at the top think it's business as usual

I heard this analogy just this morning and it is so apt. Perfectly sums up the Nigerian situation.

This Reno omokri is an abhorent creature.

Another stale comment.

Answer the damn question. Always pointing fingers but never take responsibility. Its always everyone else's fault. Na so.

festacman:
The conspiracy against Gov. Nyesom Wike was of high level and 'conspirators' came from across the country. It had little to do with the Northern unity. The fact is that Gov. Wike's bully attitude as well as how he threw his weight around brashly as party financier and given his role in getting Supreme Court to retrieve PDP back from Modu Sheriff had become a source of worry and even fear to party bigwigs. They didn't want to take any chances at the primary. So, they prevailed on Gov. Tambuwal, whom Gov. Wike had tagged an ingrate in the course of his consultation with delegates, to step down and openly support Atiku Abubakar. Desperate calls were also made to some leaders to reach out to delegates. It worked.

If you consider the number of votes Gov. Wike got in spite of the 'conspiracy', you will understand that without that intervention, he would have pulled a surprise.

Well, Gov. Wike has himself to blame for his 'Putin-istic' attitude. Recall he disgraced and removed Uche Secondus his ally and brother as PDP chairman and installed Iyorchia Ayu. And things could get worse for him when his tenure ends. He might find himself completely outside the umbrella. Fortunately, Kwankwanso's NNPP is there to absorb Internally Displaced Politicians (IDPs) from both PDP and APC.

It has everything to do with Northern unity. The southerners involved are just the willing tools who will sell their souls for gain. If Wike was a Northerner, they would have closed their eyes to his eccentricities and the southern politicians would have, true to type, closed their eyes right along with them.
There is always that aversion for Wike's behaviour, but at the root of any reaction to it, is the Northern quest for control. You know that.
"Internally Displaced Politicians" (IDP)

CutieKing:
Buhari can as a matter of face saving denies this plot but he was in the know probably reluctantly from the onset and he only chickened out when it was obvious that idea is dead on arrival.
I think GEJ brought this disgrace upon himself.he was so tactless and indeed very clueless,how he did conceived this idea is even beyond me.
Pdp is waiting to treat him as an outcast should in case they win the presidency next year .

Thank you. This idea has been hatched since 2015 with Buhari fully in agreement. This is the reason why Jonathan started unobtrusively and stylishly distancing himself from PDP and assuming a toga of international statesmanship. A few months ago, plans started in earnest to start drumming up public support but in a way as if Jonathan was not involved. But he was. And he only wanted concensus. And the only attraction was power returning to the North after 4 years. The idea is hard to sell and that is the reason they are now trying to back out. In the next few days, we will know if they have given that option up or they will bluff their way through.

Why are you people so abusive? Can't you criticise without abusing, calling names and insulting? Everyone, regardless of their political leaning, is guilty of this childish uncouth behaviour. One always feels like taking a bath after reading through the comments on this forum. Smh
(Some of the names are funny, sha!)

BULL! STOP LYING!
AYADE BOUGHT THE FORM, FILLED AND SUBMITTED. HE PARTICIPATED AND LOST. WE KNEW WHEN HE BOUGHT IT. DID HE BUY IT TO PUT UNDER HIS BED? LIARS.

thundafire:
PDP did a grave error giving central the position I steaf of south and Otu stands a chance than PDP candidate

Dream on!

God1000:
Jonathan should not soil his reputation, he's a good man but too biddable.

Much too biddable. Thats the attraction for them.

Ekpeitit:
I honestly can't wait to see this big nosed woman wrapper completely humiliated at the APC primaries. Some people just have no sense, so Jonathan believes that after people came together, spent their money to form a party, he can just stroll in and become the presidential candidate and the party will still remain in one piece for him to use and become president again?
How dumb.
Maybe PDP is using Jonathan to destabilise APC because I don't see how APC will continue to exist as a party if Jonathan is made the presidential candidate. Impossible.

This your moniker! Shameful!

What kind of letterhead paper is this?? This doesn't look right.
