Damn!!! Am sure you don’t live in Abuja. Abuja is a complete civil service economy. No meaningful industry, no bustling commercial activities compared to Lagos. Infact everything we need most times 90% are obtained from Lagos. Abuja has no social life as intense as Lagos. Simply put Abuja is nothing compared to Lagos. Most elites here travel to Lagos weekends and holidays to refresh and unwind. Lagos far outclass Abuja. I own multiple properties in Abuja and Lagos but Lagos fetches better income than Abuja’s. Most of my buildings here are empty except i decide to sell. Even sales takes time but valuable in the long run. A common who is a tenant in Abuja will find it very difficult to survive while Lagos accommodates everyone class of people. It’s either you are a politician or a high ranking corrupt civil servant in Abuja to make a headway. Only few businessmen and women from outside Abuja thrives along with the corrupt lots.
Viral video of President Tinubu arriving National Security Office yesterday
It’s more fuel economy to travel that distance between the villa and the national anti-terrorism center than using long convoys otherwise Nigerians will be the first to call him out. Good idea by PBAT
In my opinion this is very embarrassing and a shame to Nigeria. It’s unacceptable and should be paid back in same kind. This action humiliates us as a people and shows the arrogance of the British people in their treatment of Africans. For god sake , Ekweremadu was a former Deputy Senate President of Nigeria and as such should have been accorded diplomatic treatment.
Why beg for leniency? We should simply grab one of the UK diplomats here in Nigeria, put up charges against him and lock him up while waiting for prisoner swap. Begging will only make them feel more emboldened and continue to ridicule us. How can you hold and threaten to jail a former DSP and serving Senator of the Federal Republic.
You did execution by state of origin n Igbos that are minorities are left behind ....while North that are majority are not left behind
If it's through Igbos should just independently get our brothers out of Sudan even if it means us contributing
Ok hope Allen is seeing the people he wants to help
If truly the evacuation is being done based on ethnic profiling it should be investigated and if found to be true should be condemned immediately. No Nigerian should be made to suffer in any foreign land. I also advise the igbos to be cordial and not resort to ethic battering etc. If the rumor is true then no one should start blaming Abike-Dabri or anyone because the Foreign Affairs Minister is an igbo man, why would he abandon his own brothers?
Minister of Foreign Affairs, Geoffrey Onyeama tried, even spoke igbo in vain to evacuate the igbos but the igbos in Sudan refused and insisted Sudan is “No Man’s Land” and that they are not going anywhere but would rather join the fight as a faction to claim some lands and so the Minister left probably very disappointed Quite hilarious. Why keep crying the victim in everything? Am glad no Itsekhiri son or daughter can be found in Sudan. Thanks Reno for the piece. Everyone should learn to live in peace and together. Don’t say what you don’t know about a national exercise and avoid seeing things always from your own ethnic point of view otherwise other groups will develop same consciousness or simply hold you in disgust.
Odin13: Looking at the result.. can any Apc here explain how she win..
And why should inec announce her..
Aisha Buhari has failed.. .. she too wan become godmother…senseless imp. Nigeria is never a baboon republic
No inec returning officer.. with Pdp leading..
One imo under the pay roll of the sadistic element.. went to announce a result from his arsehole
Crazy fools
The fools wan use media legalize.. foolery
That was a very awful announcement. What sort of declaration was that? Clearly the law has been breached and that announcement shouldn’t stand. It is very very wrong.
Tinubu supporters should also go to her twitter account to counter the Obi people otherwise the Obi people are throwing those insults to strengthen their google analytics about Tinubu in a false way.
SmartPolician: The game is getting interesting. I cannot wait for the full litigation to commence.
APC is making this appeal about Peter Obi. If the party agrees to pick him as the presidential candidate with unopposed candidates, then why should that be the concern of APC?
Besides, political parties win elections in Nigeria, not individuals. They didn't react to the claim that Bola Tinubu is an ex-druglord. I guess they intentionally ignored it or reporter didn't mention it.
You are the one saying Bola Tinubu is a drug lord not the US or Nigerian laws. There was no indictment anywhere on earth against him regarding drugs except for his forfeiture to the US - IRS which can happen to anyone including myself because in US and UK you have to keep watching over your tax remittances otherwise you will face a forfeiture. The law in Obi’s case is very technically clear, he wasn’t a member of the party 30 days before submission of the register and so being technically not a member of LP means he wasn’t qualified to contest under LP and so all his 6m votes are wasted or possibly as i would suggest those votes should be added to that of Tinubu to avoid wastage
NotoriousBiggyS: To all the so call tinubu supporters I have questions for u I need answers
1. So many people hate tinubu, but why do you like him 2. Every sane people love justice but why do u hate justice 3. Every sane people who meant well for our dear nation hate tinubu but why do you love him
Not so many people but ONLY the igbos and Obiidients people that are so full of hatred. Tinubu was loved nationwide by over 8.8m people. Nobody gave him a chance yet the prayers and love of 8.8 citizens gave us the best president and made us dodge a fatal bullet (Obi). 8.8m people hated Obi. Obi is already going to court blindly as usual. He certainly going to end up weeping in that his despicable strange voice. Millions globally loves Tinubu except the enemies of our nation that keeps referring to Nigeria as zoo. Tinubu presidency will be the game changer positively for all true lovers of our country and the best hope for Africa. With Tinubu, leadership problem of Nigeria has come to an end. No one sponsored Tinubu to power therefore he owes no one and cannot be controlled by any godfather somewhere. Tinubu presidency will be the best administration ever in our history.
Gucciblog: https://twitter.com/KennedyWandera_/status/1645356045290618885?t=kcu0ol8eu5ku2sEgD2nEQg&s=19[/quote]The South Easterners have resorted to this rubbish thereby creating more and more enemies for themselves. Isn’t it obvious to you guys that the whole Yoruba race have rallied round Tinubu as their own having noticed the deep hatred the igbos have for Tinubu right from day one even before Tinubu indicated interest in the Presidency. Every hatred and hostile campaign against Tinubu will be seen by the Yorubas as an attack against them. Leave Tinubu alone. You guys are so pained beyond consolation. Obi isn’t a presidential material for this time. He , Obi only lead a scam campaign to deceive millions of ignorant youths of the S/East extraction. Every attack against Tinubu is an effective act that will surely result in demarketing Obi. You guys have to move on.
FreeStuffsNG: Now I agree with those who said the nation truly dodged a bullet and serious religious war by rejecting Mr Obi at the polls. All the Nigerians who voted against Mr Obi and LP are the heroes of our democracy. Mr Obi and Bishop were never part of those who fought for our democracy so they are ready to truncate it on divisive unpatriotic reasons.
I am not surprised at all and I am once again embarrassed again that we need to call on DSS to arrest, thoroughly investigate and prosecute these people.
If Bishop and Mr Obi are not prosecuted, another bigot will do far worse in the next election. I expect many more revelations in days to come. All those Enenche, the one in Oke Afa giving fake prophecies and the one from Auchi and the one who saw a candidate with name in the Bible should all be investigated. We must make them face the law so that others will learn not to use religion as a basis to incite religious war in Nigeria.
What a shame. Even Kwara where Bishop Oyedepo hail from voted for APC's Asiwaju Tinubu while his base in Ogun state voted massively for Asiwaju Tinubu too.
If only God were men ehn, Bishop Oyedepo and Mr Obi would have gotten two states and even the SW states on account of religious bigotry.Wow!! This God ehn. He truly rules in the affairs of men. God pass dem!
APC and the Presidential Elect media team must petition DSS officially on this one o. They need all these evidences to prove that their opponents are people who do not and never meant well for Nigeria. All patriots must rise up and condemn Bishop and Mr Obi.
As stated in that audio, Bishop Oyedepo actually released that content with that title he stated in the audioleak and Youtube date on it indicate it was uploaded on 23rd of February, two days to the election which is the last day of campaign.
Watch the video and link it up with his promise made to Mr Peter Obi and you will see that FIJ is right with its verdict that the audio leak is true
This leak has further worsen the estimation of the person Peter Obi in my view. Making desperate plea and calling an election religious war is just too unacceptable for us as a nation. This is terrible. He should be reported to UN, Hague, WH, 10 Downing Street, DSS etc. Peter Obi is a real threat to this country. Who knows what he must have discussed with and bribed the Afenifere Leadership.
Nigerians should be happy because Obi would have thrown us all into a destructive religious war which no country has ever survived. God simply gave us Tinubu to avoid a great danger.
The church even abandoned a pastor to support a non pastor. I lost complete confidence in all men of God in Nigeria except the G.O of the Redeemed Christian Church of God Pastor E.O Adeboye. The rest are just a complete disappointment. May God show them mercy.
Okorietitus: Actually, APC got 6 Senate seats in the SE If an Igbo man will become SP, it will be Osita Isunazo not Orji Uzor.
Forget any other candidate. OUK is the best material this time around and would surely reposition the SE politics in the larger mainstream of national political dynamics. OUK has friends all over the nation and am telling you this chap is detribalized and knows exactly how to maintain a strong handshake across various regions.
Okorietitus: Supported by who? On what basis is he the best? Name 8 bills he has sponsored in the last 8 years.
It’s not about the number of bills. Remember for a greater part of his time in the last senate he went through surgery and rehabilitation. Now he is much more healthier. Personally i am always on his and Soludo’s side. Don’t know much about Umahi but OUK is a decent guy.
OUK remain the best man for the job. He is completely detribalized and speaks all the major languages. He has all tribes in his employment right from those days when he started slok with his office located them on broad street way back.
Look at , he is destroying his expired old passport not the valid one. You think you can mislead people. I have dual passports but i can never be so dumb to destroy my Nigerian passport. Those destroying their passports are the real dangers and enemies of this country. He should not return to apply to immigration for reissue.
smsinnigeria: Go to Anambra nobody will stop. Because you people are local champs . Gbadebo is a Yoruba man who just want to cash out in the popularity of Labour party in Lagos period. The fear was that if the same voting partner in presidential election is repeated the Labor party will win so the attack on Igbos because Obi who brought the party to limelight is Igbo.
Local champ? There is no part of igboland that i don’t know and have not been to both by car by bike and on foot even before most here were born. It was those days when we had very excellent and accommodating igbos until this 2023 elections that you guys have made to polarize everyone. Am not in Lagos but i have enough prime properties in Lagos such that i don’t want it to be managed by those who wants to ridicule the natives and destroy what has taken years to build.
Maxymilliano: Popular Nigerian musician and actor, Folarin Falana popularly known as Falz has said the Governor of Lagos State, Sanwo-Olu was not elected but selected himself.
The singer made this known in a response to an appreciation tweet by the re-elected governor.
https://twitter.com/falzthebahdguy/status/1637729726511849472?t=nfFyGrkAiXInjKD8clRqdQ&s=19[/quote]Falz is has no worth in Yoruba land. He fails to make comments against any comments or insults passed on the Yorubas but will quickly make comments negatively against the yorubas. Someone like Falz is not needed. Maybe his Bamboo app project was being financed by those against the Yorubas. He forgot people from every tribe voted for Obi only to have them insulted and threatened that they will take over Lagos , remove the Obas and replace them with Obi’s. What do you expect the ethnic group to do on hearing such? Fold their hands and wait for it to happen? Nah. The yorubas have never threatened anyone until this time when they see a clear threat facing them. It is very obvious that the igbos openly displayed their utter hatred for the Yorubas yet no one including Falz has ever commented. Igbos failed to capitalize on the gains made with Obi victory, they decided to threaten and ridicule other tribes and their leaders after Obi’s victory in Lagos. The igbos simply failed to appreciate anything. Now the Yorubas decided to act in order to forestall the impending danger that would have befallen the race. Falz failed to talk about the rigging in Enugu and Anambra. They focus on Lagos like vultures waiting to pounce on the carcass. Yorubas only have succeeded in defending their own this time as other tribes have defended theirs. Sanwoolu victory is a victory well deserved and should be celebrated by all yorubas.
smsinnigeria: What is the sin of igbos. To vote the candidate of your choice in a democracy is now a sin. Last time I checked no Igbo man contested the gubernatorial seat in Lagos. Igbos only support a political party not an individual. From day one igbos do not vote for APC whether at home or aside home no man born of woman can cowed Igbos to submission just know that. The presidential election Obi won in Lagos send a lot of shocking vibe to incumbent Lagos Governor hence all the ethnic cards. As if an Igbo man was contesting to take over Lagos.
The you should have left the local governorship elections to the Yorubas to vote whom they like. You should have called Gbadebo to let him know that you cannot interfere in the local election of a major tribe. Instead you started threatening days before the election to take over lagos, for what? Has any Yoruba man threaten to take over Anambra. Don’t treat others the way you don’t want to be treated. Obi was voted for by both igbos and yorubas in Lagos and SW but when it comes to governorship, allow the local people to vote their own because they know whom they want. It will be most destructive to vote an inexperienced fellow like Gbadebo to rule lagos. Lagos has always been blessed with good leaders because every governor passes through the civil service system right from Fashola, Ambode to Sanwo-Olu. They know the system and maintain the progress being witnessed in Lagos. Yorubas worldwide are concerned and have spoken.
tolue42: The hypocrite of people from the East, of course Gbadebo is a Yoruba man, but he tweeted against us, calling us "Afonja", so we real Yorubas don't want him as our governor... So what is the head ache with South East even Fayose a PDP man all the way from Ekiti campaign against Gbadebo...So Yorubas are united on this..I don't see why Igbo carry this on their head
Infact all yorubas were fully united in this for Sanwo-Olu. The igbos obviously forgot that they needed to build alliances instead of trying to tribally suppress other ethnic groups. They mocked the yorubas after the Obi lagos win. Yorubas from home and abroad and everywhere on the planet started calling home and impressing on the need for all to come together on this. Both Arise TV and Channels are partisan just that Arise is more pronounced. The plan was to subjugate the yorubas and render them completely incapacitated in their own land. The sought to destroy the entire yoruba traditional institutions and possibly replace them with Obis from South East. Gbadebo was a willing tool positioned to destroy his own people. It was a clear and present danger that must be stopped.
haffaze777: Hope they listen,moreover they won't even be able to interfere in our election process again because**************
Yorubas have learnt their lessons now. There is no state in the country where you are free to do anyhow as a visitor. Be it in the South East or the North. You must abide by the culture of the people and respect them as a people. Respect their institutions and choice of leadership. The Yorubas cannot go to the SE to start struggling for political positions with them and posting it online attached with lots of insults. The igbos will never take it and they will resist it will the utmost violence. You don’t interfere in the local elections but for the Presidential election everyone is free to engage. Leave the local elections to the ethnic group to choose their leaders do no interfere. If you think you can interfere in the local elections then it means you can also participate in choosing the traditional rulers for the people. What happened in the governorship election in lagos has to happen because the igbos were determined to suppress the Yorubas using GRV as a willing tool. Yorubas won’t take this. All yorubas have now been made self aware of the satanic plans to subjugate the people by the visitors in their midst. Everyone’s eyes are now opened, no more liberality and reckless accommodation. Everyone is now tribalistic because others are in their region and have thought the yorubas how to be tribalistic. The igbos should have behaved themselves and remain in their place in the Lagos governorship elections.
Abalado: APC will not win in igbo land again, forbid IJN
So you know how it feels wanting a party you don’t want in your land win any governorship. Same thing you cannot take in the SE why then are trying to do same in Lagos. Political contest would have been fun but you guys turns everything into horrible insults since the advent of Labour party. With LP i have seen how the rest of you displayed so much hatred against the rest of the country. You love your leaders and wants everyone else in the country to love yours while you hate and brazenly insult leaders from every other tribe. Well, such is not permitted and cannot happen in my place.
N3TRAL: David Mark was from the North Central. He's Nigeria's longest serving Senate president. After that Bukola Saraki still from the North Central did 4 years. The North Central cannot do it again.
What happens to the South South? Despite Igbo affinity, we gave Jagaban 25% in almost all the states.
Do you know the implication of an 80% for Obi in the South South like the South East? It would have been 11 States landslide.
How do you discredit how much work the likes of Wike, Akpabio and Oshiomole put in to preach Muslim Muslim Ticket to natives of an area with 98% Christians without mosques?
It's unfair.
Una yourbas no dey rate us 😡
Very annoying thread for most of us.
The chairman lost Nasarawa State his State to Labour Party in that same North Central.
Labour party won Plateau State in that same North Central despite producing the campaign chairman, an incumbent Governor.
Benue State was so close that it could have gone anywhere. It's technically a draw between LP and APC just like Lagos. The win margin of APC has no meaning.
If we count Abuja-FCT based on its geography and boundary, APC did not even see 25% there.
North Central voted along religious lines. Kwara is technically Yoruba and Kogi to an extent with Muslim population. Niger State has a massive Muslim population too.
The only christians in Nigeria that didn't give a damn about the Muslim Muslim Ticket apart from the South West were South South christians.
Also consider the fact that APC was the dominant party in the North Central before the elections. KWARA, Kogi, Niger, Nasarawa and Plateau states had APC Governors.
South South delivered beyond imagination for a region with only one APC governor who defected. The South South will have at least 2 APC governors on the 29th of May (Delta State and Cross River State). The region is going APC and you must reward the people.
I support your point. The Senate presidency should come to SS. The SE did nothing much to help but we must admit it was a very difficult task to sell APC in the SE even PDP was abandoned. We shouldn’t blame the SE guys because they had one of theirs also on the ballot. First option SP slot to SS or SE.
brutustech: Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, the gubernatorial candidate of the Labour Party, made a derogatory remark on Twitter about Pastor Enoch Adeboye, a highly respected pastor and leader of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, in response to his compliment to El-Rufai during a visit. This tweet has generated widespread outrage and debates about the importance of respectful discourse in public conversations.
Although some supporters of the Labour Party have defended Rhodes, citing his right to free speech and claiming that his tweet was simply expressing his personal opinion, a significant number of people, particularly the elders, have condemned his language. They believe that insulting a revered public figure like Pastor Adeboye is unacceptable and disrespectful.
Furthermore, they see Rhodes' generalization of Yoruba people as those who are known to "lick ass" as a derogatory comment, that insults the entire Yoruba clan
Gbadebo's remark is not only harmful but also has the potential to escalate conflicts. It undermines the fundamental principles of civility, tolerance, and mutual respect, which are essential for a healthy and functional society. Making derogatory comments about someone with a differing opinion about others creates an atmosphere of hostility and division. Moreover, as a Yoruba descendant, Gbadebo's comment is both condescending and disrespectful. It demonstrates that he lacks regard for others, which disqualifies him from being a suitable leader.
Notable elders in Lagos state have expressed their opinion that Gbadebo is not fit to be the governor of Lagos state due to his lack of respect. Therefore, Lagosians require a leader who can provide good governance, promote respectful discourse in public conversation, and work towards a society that values civility, tolerance, and mutual respect.
Gbadebo whose father is one of the most corrupt chief Justices Nigeria has ever known. Gbadebo lead a gang during Endsars to selectively destroy properties owned by yorubas in Lagos. Gbadebo took up a yoruba name to disguise himself. His ultimate aim is to destroy all legacies of past administrations in Lagos. He seeks to erode the yoruba culture and values. He hates Yorubas to the very core.
reddingtonblack: It is all Igbos have now, but people fought for these country to go from One party system to multi party system ... Obedient can take us back to the era of one party nation.
It plain stupidity when youths go to the polling youths and vote who they don't even know,
Everybody has right to vote there choice, but @least you vote your candidate base on capacity not becos it is a trend. LP can take all the East, but the southwest won't join the madness ..we keep the spread
no manifesto no blueprint no record and you think that candidate will bring progress .. smh
Perfect talk. Southwest are well enlightened and knows their leaders and who to vote for. LP is trying to smuggle a non-entity into our midst. This LP candidate was same person that lead people to destroy properties in Lagos during the Endsars riot. He is a thorough bred dangerous character smuggled into Yoruba land. The son of a very corrupt justice. Yorubas will vote for their own and won’t put their fate in the hands of the igbo people who are simply visitors in their midst.
