It's just like a dream... That Tinubu who has been pretending for 7years can't wait for 7more days.
He should at least wait for the primaries or go to another party if he's sure he won't be picked.

...the kick of a dying horse...he finally smells the coffee. Buhari isn't in favour of an open primary where he can easily win as the most influential politician in the lot.

...with his boast as the kingmaker of buhari, he has brought the battle to public view

seunmsg:


This is not the time to calm down. This is the time to say it as it is, no cap.

I remember warning you guys since..that this day was coming. Tinubu finally senses it and is now rallying the yorubas to the front of the battle.

He betrayed his people to please buhari. He better hopes buhari doesn't betray him come Saturday.

Forget the noise you guys make on nairaland...the bulk of the south will not stand with tinubu in a fight against buhari. This isn't 2015 when he had a sterling reputation.

his reputation is tainted by his close association with buhari over 8 years. he cant credibly now turn back to criticise the same buhari he praised to the high heavens for 8 years

Gozac:

Love this line, when I look at the way Tinubu campaigns and look at the way Amaechi, Osibanjo campaign you see the ideological difference. Tinubu is just an overrated politician who loves imposing cronies and later brags about it
He is politically relevantt today because he's not being shaken in Lagos
I think his handlers lack the intellectual prowess to handle his campaign in a multiethnic settings
Tinubu has the entitlement mentality that he and SW deserves the president.

Tinubu isn't overrated. He performed far better than most of his peers in developing lagos. Alos installed a lot of people in power.....no doubt. He just played the wrong move with buhari. If he had stood against buhari's re-election on the basis of non-performance. There was a big chance buhari would not have won and he would have retained his broader appeal as being on the side of the people and his credential as a king-maker. Now he is simply exhibiting the kick of a dying horse

Many of us supported buhari in 2015 because we believed in tinubu's packaging of the situation as a rescue of nigeria.

Joezinho:


Sometimes it's best to say little. These bloggers are all out to misconstrue every sentences he utters .

tinubu can finally see the handwriting on the wall.....buhari has no intention of handing over to him, and neither will the primaries be organised in any way that will allow him to win though he is probably the most connected and influential candidate. buhari made it clear when he listed his criteria to the governors.

He is digging in for a dirty fight so he came to rally his base.

Mooh247:



Men of no honour would rather pay good with evil and justify it in a laughable manner

Just like yesterday when Dapo Abiodun was rejected live on stage when Buhari came to Abeokuta for Campaign and Tinubu stood solidly by him, Osinbajo was safely in Abuja




.

Tinubu finally senses his betrayal by PMB is coming, then he remembered he is a yoruba man, and yoruba's should stand for him...

Where was he when buhari was making a mess of the southern economy and security for 8 years......end sars targeting tinubu in lagos was a view that tinubu is the closest thing to buhari in lagos. It was a thug Sunday Igboho that threw himself in front, advocating for the rights and safety of his people.

Now the same buhari, tinubu abandoned his people to please is about to betray him...

I wish tinubu good luck

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

you spoke well bro

derecho:
Really?
I'm just waiting for June 7...when all hell will be let loose.

Nothing will happen bro...when buhari was dealing with the collective south where was tinubu? he was even making jest of those complaining...asking if people saw those attacking them in the farms with cattle so he can believe they are herdsman. The borders where shut for almost 4 years, it was a political thug that was questioning the decision. tinubu was no where to be found



He will fight his battle alone

Sheuns:
These Hausa/Fulani will continue to deal with us until we have sense and unify down south. An average Hausa man will never betray his own brother for an outsider. Never.

the hausa/fulani nevers betrays his kin, yet how have they fare? they remain behind in terms of all economic and social index.

Tinubu lost most people's respect when he stood to endorse buhari for 8 years.....the man has no honour.

Buhari shut down the borders down south for almost 4 years causing a lot of hardship and economic damage ....where was Tinubu?
Buhari allowed the fulani-driven insecurity to pepper the south and operate unchallenged...where was Tinubu?

If supporting buhari was tinubu's greatest claim to the presidency, then let him leave us out of the coming fight....he failed to shown himself a man that could put the interest of his people first.

He is just a power-hungry politician

Nigerians survive inspite of not because of their government......its a shame many a people empower these destroyers of destiny with senseless propaganda...... comes to mind

....will hurt Russia more over the long run. China and India alone cannot absorb their production volumes. It has lost it biggest customers for good..they wont be returning even after the war with Ukraine ends

First 11 football team....congrats to them

Drop your funniest memes you've ever seen here.

the sad state of the nation

Rajiolaade:
don't be dumb, even abacha with absolute military powers could not subdue tinubu talkless of vegetable bubu, tinubu will tame buhari & his cabal not the other way ,nadeco, even fresh civil war loading at worst.fear of tinubu beginning of wisdom,better defeat tinubu legitimately to avoid trouble ,also note the world is watching.

when buhari was dealing with nigerians, tinubu who for the initial high regards nigerians had for him was mute and even threw jabs at those complaining. he sold his reputation to appease buhari in the hope buhari will hand him the presidency.

today tinubu is being mocked for standing firmly with one of nigeria's worst regime and you think the same nigerians will stand with him if he losses out?

well, the cane that was used to flog the first wife is being soaked in kerosene for the second wife.

I wish tinubu and his urchins best of luck protesting against the primary result if it doesnt got their way.....

Clonelord:


They broke into our place at night and took her away after asking us who was the eldest...

It happened Tuesday midnight.
Here in Benue state.
My sis is 38. She is a petty trader.

We have been able to talk to her and she is alive. They took her with her phone and that is what they HaVe been using to call

her phone can be tracked. Reach out to the police or dss to do that

spy24:
I don't care what you lots are saying I sha know that I'll vote Jonathan if he's on the ballot

Tinubu cannot archive half of what that man archived in 4 years

Northerners knows this thats why they are now begging for him to return . Just as sir Alex Ferguson is to manutd so is Jonathan to Nigeria , he's not perfect but listen to his speech you'll know that he means well for the country . Those who hates Jonathan just hate Him for no good reason

North only voted against him in 2015 because buhari was on the ballot

If Jonathan contests in 2023 trust me he'd win in the north I don't know of the entire south but I know that South south will vote him

they only want him because he can only do a single 4 year tenure (after which they will ask for a return of power to the north).

also jonathan doesn't have a track record of playing "godfather" unlike some other candidate (who I will not mention) who if given the chance will want to control everyone and everything (for instance in his state, the gubernatorial primary had only "1" candidate, I wonder why the even bothered holding one)

Weak6Exers:
Asiwaju, Modern Lagos Architect is one of the greatest politician ever. As it stands, he is the most mentioned politician in Africa. The brain behind Eko Atlantic, an investment destination that will be the envy of Africa when completed. An area holding the biggest USA embassy in the world. Why will I not like this man

He is also the brain behind Buhari...Nigeria's greatest calamity and punishment

sisisioge:
These people are just trolling...first the one who got a car and now this one with 30k. They are using responses to create content.

OP, No vex, he will do better next time.

happens for real sis...a lot of people assume when you are abroad you pick up money on the street

The best thing is to keep your Nigerian number only reachable via WhatsApp once you leave the country....you can decide when and how to respond to message from those begging for assistance

Drenimarcus2222:
There's no record of anyone named Boris Bondarev being employed by Russia's MFA. The diplomat he supposedly worked for, Deputy Foreign Minister Gennady Gatilov, does exist, but all references to him end in 2018. Also, while I was doing my search at the MFA's English page, I was suddenly denied access, which is highly unusual, while nothing occurred at the Russian language page. Given AP is aka All Propaganda, and the content of the letter is so wrong, I'd say it's 100% Fake News. Plus, there's nada at MFA.

Lavrov recently stated "there are no traitors within Russia's MFA." Lavrov's diplomatic content is very consistent from one public appearance to the next and is nothing as described; indeed, it's the opposite. I know because I follow all his events.

Aha!! I just found the roster of Russia's Deputy Foreign Ministers and one Gennady Gatilov isn't one of the eleven posted. So, I'm 100% confident the AP item is 100% Fake News.

Russian bots & disinformation!!

Every news media of worth carried this news even Aljazeera that isn't pro-western with very clear references confirming the authenticity of the news

Robertgreene1:
Interesting but not suprised...
Core English girls(not mixed race o) re kinda bland
nd boring...
Now...come to think of this Ukraine war sef...dt comedian of their president has shattered and is still shattering the lives of millions of his people..those 8 million nd counting Ukrainians dt av fled Ukraine have lost homes...relatives...friends...infact..their once peaceful nd amazing pre_war Lives in general have all being shattered all thanks to one short Jewish comedian like that...
Worse part of it all is that...the fool even campaigned
nd won on the promise of "making peace with Russia and ending the Donbass crisis"...then after he won..he reneged on his promises just like APC nd their scam "change" mantle...
I saw on Aljazeera news...clips of Ukrainian civilians...beautiful girls..women even kids sef that av lost limbs in this senseless war...amputees with arms..legs..some with both limbs cut off...hence becoming disabled for life all thanks to a political novices' miscalculations nd ego..
Just forget power plays...just forget all the bravado and hypes that comes with being a brave leader defending his homeland...pictures of ur innocent citizens...esp kids dieing..loosing loved ones...ND worse still being disabled for life(I do rather die at once than loose precious arms/legs in a senseless avoidable war) are the pictures that should come first ND foremost in the mind of a leader about to make a decision that may lead to war...the love of ur citizens that voted for u should be the utmost reason why a "sane" Leader must avoid war *AT ALL COSTS*...even if it means..making a big U-turn about a decision (like joining NATO or whatever) or even personally apologizing to ur enemy(Putin in this case).... do it..swallow ur pride...but just do it to save the lives and limbs(arms/legs) of ur lovely civilians that overwhelmingly voted for you out of love....
Mtcheew..humans and their senseless Power plays at the expense of other people's lives...
It's so damn ironic that all the western leaders praising the comedian for his "bravery" for fighting Russia ren't so brave enough themselves to fight that same Russia...

The only reason this conflict exists is because of Russia's bullying. Sweden and Finland are in the process of joining Nato with both being a greater threat to Russia based on their more sophisticated military, why is russia not marching in to annex parts of sweden and finland? a bully simply picks on the weakest.

Dont know if you are paid to post the thrash you posted, but russia is simply a bully and this would definitely cost them much more than it already has.

ALLNIGERIANSMAD:
Good evening Nairalanders, please I don't want to bore you with much stories, I just need a legal advice from lawyers on the FORUM. my sister who has been Legally married 8years ago to this guy, I wasn't around during their wedding because I work far away maiduguri then, the wedding took place in OSUN STATE, few months she gave birth, this guy travelled abroad on invitation visa by his family members, the guy has shown so much responsibility as a man and as a father at the beginning when he first arrived at his current country home of residence, my sister always told me how he use to send money for her and her child(only daughter) upkeep and communication was good between them, sometime in 2014, this guy having learned I work in Abuja, he personally contacted me and told me his plan to take his wife with him to abroad that he will need my assistance to help Authenticate all my sister's documents from Federal ministry of foreign affairs which I did, probably this doesn't go down well with family members or God knows what happened this guy sundenlly make U-turn and stop communicating with my sister, after several findings, he claimed his family had told him my sister was lying to collect money from him and spending such recklessly! That's her offence which he stated in the divorce letter. When I got the story like over five years ago, I heavily criticize my sister believing she must have done something worse than that for her husband to suddenly take Such action against her but what brought my interest in the case was when she sent me copy of divorce letter and I read through, I can't pinpoint to any serious offence she might have committed to warrant divorce all his excuses was baseless and earsay as the husband in question has never return back to nigeria since he travelled and from information my sister got, the husband secretly married to another wife in abroad Netherland to be precise while he still legally married to my sister here in nigeria.
My question now are:
- is it possible to divorce a woman in
absentia?
- The husband was requesting the custody of the only child the marriage produced to take to abroad, in my opinion I objected to that since the husband has married to another wife over there,the safety of the child is important.
- she's currently living in the house they
both built together which she
superviced during construction! They both contributed to the project while the husband was also sending money to build. Will she
be sent packing without any form of compensation?
Please MOD should please help me push to the front page to to have legal interpretation to the issue. Thanks i will be in comment section to take your advice. Ignor any error and advise

if you have evidence or can confirm he is maried, he is in trouble. Polygamy is a criminal offence in Europe. He will likely get deported

WATCHOVER:
There is no way I would not blame NATO, an agreement was reached stopping further NATO expansion but NATO is going against the rules, that is why am Supporting Russia not that am happy for War.
Agreement is Agreement

do you have any official confirmation that a record of any such signed agreement exists?

Secondly, these nations increasing interest in Nato is a reaction to russia's bullying. Russia carved out and supporting insurgency in several neighbouring states because they opted to choose a more european direction e.g moldova, georgia and ukraine (crimea & donbas).

No responsible leader will fold their hands watching such a growing threat.

And call Putin's bluff, Finland and Sweden will cause far more issues in a war with russia because they are way militarily developed than Ukraine. Sweden has a very strong R& in communications tech, ballistics and aviation.

Putin's concern is once they join nato, they cant be bullied anymore

kb83:
You don't understand international politics very well am sorry. You forgot the same sanctions were placed on North Korea for years and yet the survived to the point that the West does not have leverage over them today, sanctions sometimes is good, it helps you look in words and prevents over reliance on others, I tell you, if Russia whethers the storm of this sanctions, prepare yourself for a new World Power.

You dont understand sanctions then. In the 1960s, North and South Korea could be seen as equals or the North even ahead, that is why it could invade the South and triggered the war.

After decades of sanctions, North Korea is barely 1/10 of the south korea economy, let's not take of military-industrial complex capacity of the south and the technological gap. The likes of Daewoo, Samsung, Hyundia and co.

South Korea will probably run down North Korea in a single week even with nuclear weapons. The only difference is democracies are often sensitive to high loss of human life because they dont silence the complaints of their people unlike autocracies.

The effect of these sanctions over time will reduce russia to a real paper tiger unable to influence or threaten its neighbours with war because the funds and the military-industrial complex required for it wont be there.

HYDEEE:
Decades worth of development turned to rubble. It will take Ukraine a very long time to bounce back from this calamity.

Japan and Germany came out from ww2 more battered than ukraine. In less than 10 years, they were among the leading global economies. Russia on the other hand will suffered the consequence of sanctions and corporate exists for years to come.

And dont be too sure the US and EU will allow russia access to its assets after the war. the worst russia can do is to hold on to whatever assets and companies they have in russia...russia loses big time either way

Germany has already nationalized the german arm of gazprom, Uk is also contemplating the same. There are more russian assets in the EU and US than there are EU and US assets in russia.

IdanNla:

Oh that true she did not resist me OooO but the experience led to all this cause the way she dey do Ehn it like say I Dey do her bad thing and she seems sad self that I wan first mad say how you go dey have dat kind look for me nah how I take onow say something is wrong thi

Get the guy's no and call to hear his side. Not saying your girl is lying, but it will help in getting a better picture of the situation

AroleOduduwa2:
Just as expected, Putin need to justify his attack on Ukraine, he want Russians to see that Ukraine is dangerous and will destroy them if he doesn't take actions. I expect more of this attacks by Russia on themselves.

yinmu.....putin has overpalyed hinself. I guess he is starting to acknowledge it, hence the scaling back from kiev.

Ukraine isnt falling anytime soon and the west has the cash and desire to keep the war in ukraine going for years. the west is by far several times larger than russia economically so russia will burn out first.

Putin cannot afford to keep burning money, weapons and men at the rate he is in ukraine. To make it wrst, ukraine s gradually gaining the stamina to go on the offensive. Yes, they are far from defeating russia militarily but russia will also suffer from a war spilling to its border regions. Neither can russia bear the combined effect of sanctions and an expensive war for a long time.

When the war ends, russia would have burnt its cultural link with ukraine , leaving a very anti-russian population for real

pocohantas:


What opportunity again? The guy has been given money for capital many times and he squanders it. This is a drug addict here. He needs rehab first!

Whether he was given capital or not, the fact the guy is blaming his sister for not giving him a job or one of her cars for work is shocking.

If he had no sister, wont he find a way to work and feed his family.

Overly entitled fellow...even the elder bro for that matter

HeeBraHim2:


Sometimes I wonder why people reason backwardly... Things are on hike in Nigeria because of the brave step of buhari to promote the consumer of our locally made food and items.

Unlike PDP time that we import everything... If insecurity is wipe away and farm land production is stable.. Thing will go back to normal.

APC JUST started what PDP should have done.

do you have the data to show we import less now, or did you just play the zombie to take whatever you are told. what do you think drove the usd-ngn exchange to almost 600ngn from N250 with crude oil price over 60usd per barrel for over a year now?

And buhari promotes so much local consumption that is why he is always in london treating God knows what. Wife always in dubai doing God knows what

I dont have the time to reason with your kind. You are right...

HeeBraHim2:


The monster of insecurity started during PDP tenure, the little concern of PDP to insecurity make them grow wings.

Buhari is just trying to clean the mess of PDP which cannot be done in just 7 years.

Obviously, with the level of your reasoning, you must be a beneficiary of buhari's education that is transforming the North

buhari has performed over 7 years yet almost every sector is near comatose.....the pdp you castigate was still able to deliver double-digit economic growth and security that only deteriorated during Jonathan's (key reason he lost).

You can keep playing politics with buhari failure, the north will continue to reap the fruit of his incompetence for many generations to come.

HeeBraHim2:


You have said it all.. The same people that PDP government leave without education are now the problem of the country.

See what ignorant can do... Many of them doesn't know what they are doing can land them into jail.

PDP did not educate them n 16 years, yet they did not go on rampage in the North West. Buhari gave them world-class education for 7 years yet and we have the result.

Too many unfortunate fellow acting foolish in public because of the stipend buhari gives them

Maryjane001:
Would never forget my active days on Facebook before I lost my account, looked up to Chinmark and Ovaioza especially.
He helped many people then even a certain guy in my faculty who designed his logo for free, presented it to him and got a scholarship abroad. I was wowed on how diversified his business was.

Well, I can only ask what went wrong?.
He could also share his own side of the story so we could all learn from his mistakes.

What his investors need right now is for him to come out clean and tell them the truth and the steps he s going to take to curtail the issue. Even if it is to give back investors their seed capital without interest.

Some Nigerians never learn. You still want chinmark to tell you a "story"?

I bet you another one will rise up today and they will troop into it and even abuse those that warn them.

Someone is paying 50% - 100% a year "guaranteed"...what business is that? For him to pay 100% a year , he probably should make 150-200% a year guaranteed.

If he makes that much , why doesnt he just go to the bank or even MFB and take a loan of 15-20%, why will he keep corwdfunding expensive fund from investors expecting 100% a year.

Furthermore , this person who runs a business that can provide ROI of 200% keepings raising money from investor every hour, every day, every month and every year as though the projects are limitless.

DrGoodman:
And yahaya bello is going for presidency

Nigeria is rotten.

how is it bello's fault? Is bello suppose to automatically insulate 100% the state the violence across the north.

Not his fan, but the GCFR should be the one the answer question on the deteriorating security situation nationwide
