All I know is that, it will take him a very long time before he can recover from that heavy blow he received from Edo people.

maybe next election, from the result of last election he was able to deliver his constituency Edo North which means he still Apc Edo leader.

joelag:
I don't care who wins, but INEC should do a good job.

Watch how Oshiomomhle will take this Ondo victory as an opportunity to come out from hiding.

osho is in ondo already. Did you miss the news days ago when he was telling press that he will be in ondo

gidgiddy:
I have often said it here on Nairaland that SARS is a state sponsored terrorist organisation and I stand by it. They have killed and brutalised many innocent people.

However, I think that we Igbos should not participate in the Endsars protest despite the fact that many Igbos have been the innocent victims of SARS.

1) Endsars is pointless. The government of Buhari, which we all know is more for Northern interests, will not end SARS. The extra-judicial killings, torture and brutality of SARS is mainly in the South of Nigeria, it hardly affects the North. SARS cannot be ended without Buhari's permission and if it is not affecting the North, why would he end it?

2) Even if SARS is ended or scrapped, will that really change any thing? The Police, Army, Navy, DSS and other armed forces will still be brutalising and killing innocent Nigerians daily just like SARS. Wether you end SARS or not, other arms of the armed forces will still be doing exactly what SARS is doing. The protest should not have been Endsars, it should have been 'end armed forces brutality and illegal killing'

3) Nigerians can be hypocrites. Many of those protesting Endsars are the same people who kept silent when different branches of the armed forces were shooting and killing unarmed IPOB protesters. Some of them are happy when they see unarmed innocent Biafran protesters killed, tortured, made to lay lay down in muddy water, dehumanised and detained. They dont care because its not their tribe or Region. They only remember that injustice is a bad thing when SARS is doing it to their people. They dont know that the injustice you support or ignore today may become the injustice that may be done to you tomorrow

I think that Igbos should not participate in Endsars protest for these reasons

end sarz within 48hours protest have gone international, now trending in usa,uk,canada south africa.
It shows you igbos re irrelevant in scheme of things.

ernieboy:
which Edo north? did u see the result of the last election from Edo north? the highest he could manage was 10 k vote gap in his local govt. he even lost one of the local govt in Edo north.

who won Edo north?
Shuaibu that was bragging couldnt win his local govt?
You think 10k votes is a joke? Tambuwal won his 2nd term with less than 400 votes

Jossyroyal1:




Osho pikin. So Edo is less important??..

APC better restrict him because he has no electoral value and has been stripped of all except they want Ondo to go the Edo way

stop talking trash, oshomole still remains the Biggest politician in Edo state. Edo north still remains his fortress.

Propsvilla:

I have travelled far and wide in the West, I have been to most your villages and I can't remember the last time I saw a block house in any of your Villages. Let's face the fact, how is Yorubas dominated areas in Lagos? Let's look at the living conditions of people in Mushin, Ajegunle, Agege and Shibiri. You don't have shame at all. The bulk of Internally generated Revenue of Ojo Local Government comes from Alaba International and International Trade fair, all these are Igbo dominated markets. Are we going to talk about Idumota? Are we going to talk about the IGR from Ladipo? Are we going to talk about the IGR from Corporate businesses owned by the Igbos? Next time don't under estimate the contributions of the Igbos and Hausas to the IGR of Lagos State.

Olodo , the igr came from formal sector P.AY.E.E, not all those rubbish you put up there alaba ko Alabama ni.

Next time read the post not just headline

shiwex:
If OGun state really earned this much, how come all the roads are bad.

because they receive less than what they generate for FG

Federal govt this is an injustice to ogun and lagos, they re recieving less than what they generate.
Ogun state should receive equivalent of what 4 South East states collect as allocation

It is injustice for Lagos and ogun to be recieving less than what that re generating.
Restructuring where states controls 75% while they remit 25% to federal purse is a way to go.

The index in Tuesday's report revealed that the IGR of Lagos State, put at N204 billion, is higher than that of at least 29 states put together.
ByKabiru Yusuf October 7, 2020 2 min read
The quartet of Lagos, Rivers, the FCT and Ogun State raked in a total internally generated revenue more than all other 33 states of the federation combined in the first half of 2020, the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) said.

The NBS said the 36 states of the federation and federal capital territory generated N612.87 billion in the first half of 2020.

Of the total amount, the aforementioned states and the capital city earned N335 billion, equivalent to 54 per cent. Other states made a total of N277 billion (46 per cent).

The index in Tuesday’s report revealed that the IGR of Lagos State, put at N204 billion, is higher than that of at least 29 states put together, with only Rivers, FCT, Ogun, Delta, Oyo, Akwa Ibom, and Kano states as exceptions.

Rivers State comes a distant second with N65 billion.


Behind the top two are the FCT with N35 billion, Ogun State, N30 billion, Delta State, N23 billion, and Oyo State N17 billion.

Trailing them are Akwa Ibom with N17 billion, Kano, N16 billion. Kaduna and Edo are next with each earning N14 billion.

Sitting at the foot of the index are Benue states with N5 billion; Sokoto, N4 billion, about the same amount made by Taraba and Niger state.

Other poor internal revenue earners are Yobe state which generated N3.94 billion; Gombe with N3.78 billion; Adamawa, N3.75 billion; Ekiti, N3.2 billion. Jigawa State is the rock bottom IGR earner with N3 billion.

The report noted Internal revenues are generated by states through Pay-As-You-Earn Tax (PAYE), direct assessment, road taxes, other taxes and revenues from ministries, departments and agencies (MDAs).

The Report
Details of the NBS report said states internally generated revenue (IGR) totalled N612.87bn as compared to N693.91bn recorded in H1 2019, a reduction of about N81 billion.

This indicates a negative growth of -11.7% year on year, the bureau noted.

Similarly, in the Q2 2020, states and FCT IGR figure hit N259.73 bn compared to N353.14bn bn recorded in Q1 2020. This also indicates a negative growth of -26.5% from the first quarter.


According to the report, FCT, Lagos and Ogun are the only states that generated more revenue than their allocations from the federation account, an indication that a drop in oil prices, the nation’s lifeblood, would have a ripple effect on the other states.

Lagos and Ogun share the same border in South-West Nigeria.

ADVERTISEMENT
Further breakdown of the report revealed that the net federation account (FAAC) in the first half of the year 2020 was put at N1.1 trillion, while the total revenue available to the states including the FCT was put at N1.73 trillion.


In 2019, apart from Lagos and Ogun, only the FCT generated more revenue than it did federal allocation too.

You rejected APC twice on ballot, but have been voting PDP since 1999. How is it hard to lay claim on PDP ticket.

Tinubu doesn't have business with south east region , because they hate him and his party

Elvictor:


lol, you are still in denial stage. this is democracy sir, not rotational system of government

yeah, only a foolish political party will zoned to North in a polarised and tense country after buhari 8 yrs.

Elvictor:


they are smarter than that, they rather vote for Buhari in APC since they are aware that PDP has been pocketed by them.
why will they rule for 12years when they can rule for 16years?

12yrs more feasible than 16yrs, this is not military Era.

Elvictor:


so the North West and North East including North Central will leave their brother and vote for South West?

hmmm

They re more politically sophisticated than SS/SE.
If they wanted power beyond buhari they would have voted for Atiku to extend it to 12yrs rule for north

Elvictor:


move to where? do you think SS won't revenge what SW did to their brother?

oga rest and stop these divisie nonsense.

Someone with working brain knows APC can never win SS/SE even if they field Jesus christ as their candidate.


Tinubu or Apc is no banking from votes from SS/SE.
They already have the regions with the 3 highest voting population
North west 20m
South West 16m
North central 14m

While SS and south east have less than 20m voters

HIGHESTPOPORI:
Story from an apc paid agent

telling you the reality. Pdp convention is final before final.
Atiku and secondus have a hard battle in their hands in december thats why atiku came back ftom dubai.
Majority of pdp governors dont want atiku to re-contest, E.g wike, seyi makinde, tambuwal, ortom ishayku e.t.c

Wike vs Atiku second leg in December

HIGHESTPOPORI:
Apc drama is worst.

Apc drama is over. Their target is osho now he is gone. The next convention another apc chairman will Emerge.
But the crises brewing in pdp will boomerang. Ever wonder atiku came back.
The sole reason is to ensure secondus retain his seat in december convention, or atiku will have to look for another party to further his ambition

colorsofrainbow:
Zombies,wat next?
Even pastor don tire...una don use chestbeating ruin guy man political career..
E remain tinubu,dat one,na una go use una hand bury am patapata...I no wan talk about oshiopikin

olodo pre-election case is the best option. Lyon was removed through pre-election case that got to supreme court

AllTheWayUp:
Amaechi like other APC Northern Governors and Chieftains are headed back to PDP ahead of 2023 when the disintegration of APC reaches it Climax.
They already have one leg inside APC and another leg in PDP, they all know the inevitable that there is no future for APC as Buhari tenure come to an end by 2023. The APC convention by this year to elect a new NWC will finally see some of the power blocs pull out.
They various political blocks like ACN, CPC, nPDP that formed APC are already perfecting their moves to stay relevant.
The likes of Saraki, Kwankwaso, Tambuwal and other nPDP members that have returned back to PDP, will facilitate PDP accepting him back.
The PDP NWC, NEC and BOT will have to do a very thorough job of intergrating Wike Faction, Amaechi faction and Magnus Abe faction into the politics structures of Rivers PDP.

ariara Tales by moonlight.
APC merger was built on Acn and cpc pillar, thats the reason why ameachi and el rufai can never be relevant outside their state.
APC lost Edo because osho disrespected the presidency after he agreed with buhari to allow obaseki to contest as a condition for his court case to be stopped.
Those that want APC to break dont have stake in it, acn had the highest state governors, and lawmakers followed by CPC .
Ameachi , fayemi, elrufai re waisting their time

PDP troubles will start next convention that will hold this December.
Power can only go to south if secondus position is zoned to North, but secondus and Atiku re desperately trying to retain his seat against majority of governors wish.
Didnt you read that south west pdp faction led by seyi makinde re anti secondus, south east governors too want to give presidency a shot.

Wait till pdp drama start, by then Apc will be the one to harvest their remaining organs

Ok

Power is coming to south no doubt.

But only one region is south is working tirelessly to clinch it while, the one is wailing endlessly for power to be given on a platter without any work

Chef chi, sakamanje,

cpu2006:
no be APC gave him cloth before he betrayed them?. collect your umbrella from him if he betray PDP.

umbrella that he paid 6b for you think obaseki got the ticket free of charge

9jamustchange:
They pushed him out of the party shelter without a broom in the midst of a torrential rain. PDP gave him the umbrella, brought him into their shelter and gave him dry clothes to wear!

PDP add nothing to his victory, he bought the tax collectors to use their platform. Edo people voted obaseki not pdp

frankyychiji:
And now he has come to the end of the road.

because of one loss

kcnwaigbo:

It's a lie Buhari won both the NW and NE

With what winning Margin?
Buhari never won NW or NE with 70% votes.it was more like 55% against 45% the results re there.
Besides there is no politicans in north that have cult followership like buhari

kcnwaigbo:

Northern youths did not vote Obasanjo and GEJ over Buhari.Buhari has always won the North but because the south was United he kept losing.Come 2023 the SS/SE will never vote Tinubu

buhari only win NW votes which are shared, buhari has never won north central until 2015.

EsomahJD:
Aketi should quickly disassociate himself from tinubu's dieing endorsement.

If that man endorses you, sorry

asiwaju has endorsed and won 95% of his elections so shut the Bleep up.

[quote author=AllTheWayUp post=94233222][/quote] ok

kcnwaigbo:
so you beleive noryhern masses will vote for Tinubu ahead of Atiku,Kwankwaso or tambuwal

Same way they voted
Abiola ahead of Tofa
Obasanjo Ahead of Buhari
GEj ahead of buhari, Atiku, and shekarau
