Baba does not give a damn whatever any happy or unhappy Lagosian chant. He has already captured the entire Lagos State.

INEC will still waste scare funds to conduct governorship elections in that same Lagos. Moreso, Lagosians will still go and queue under next January's sun, pretending that they are electing a new governor, knowing fully well that Mr Hamzat has already been selected and forced on them by the Jagaban himself, aka the godfather of Eko.

Please, Lagos state should just be exempted from any governorship elections for now, and stop wasting people's time.

Lagosians are chanting Óle, Óle? At present, they don't even have any say in that state.

themosthigh:
Bayelsa is smaller than a local government in kano, yet has so much wealth and resources. If someone like Otti is the governor for 8 years, it will be like Dubai by now.

Be calming down sir. Even if Otti does 8+8 years there, it can't be any where close to Dubai.
Tinubu the builder, did 8 whole years in Lagos during which he captured the entire state, yet many areas in that same city still remain glorified slums, and always discomforting to visit there.

People don't read... a simple search on ChatGPT or Gemini...

Why did doctors go on strike for 13 months under Peter Obi as governor of Anambra state?

The truth alone can emancipate you from mental slavery.

The roof makes the building ugly. It looks more like an evil coven.
Oga architect self fit dey for one corner dey smoke correct weed.
Next thing you know, the owners will want to install solar panels, indirectly looking for installers who will sustain broken spinal cords or who they will send to the great beyond.

This tells the entire story. Always positioning far away from her goal line, with poor timing.
Worst still, Falcons may win their remaining matches with few goals and still not qualify from that group, if Malawi beats Egypt with more goals, and then Zambia then beats Malawi in the final group game.
That's how bad it is now.

Parents are so busy these days to proper train their children.

No woman, no cry...
So says the classic reggae anthem of comfort, resilience, and hope.

This is the kind of reasoning that has kept Nigeria behind. Vote for someone simply because he is your cousin, not how credible or competent he is.
What a governor!

Confusion everywhere, clear desperation to hold unto power by any means possible... Supreme Emperor of the FCT.

Which lessons are you talking about? What is there to learn about impunity, state capture and tactical weakening of democracy and will of the majority for personal gains?
Keep trying to market bad features. You think he cares about your survival or existence here on earth as your president?

I pity for Rivers state. Wike and APC don't care about the will or survival of the people. All they are after is to own and control political decisions, institutional control, impunity and control the entire wealth of the state; just like Tinubu in Lagos State, where ordinary Lagosians have zero say in choosing who becomes their Governor year in year out.
How else can you define the term 'State Capture'?

Good sound, the transitioning is very good and it's giving that kind of early 90s old school reggae vibes.

Think for a moment. It is obvious the Governor who was in charge of Rivers state account and financial dealings during Wike's tenure is risking everything by trying his best to stop the established dirty structure of gross misappropriation and embezzlement of state funds, usually done through the state house of assembly.
The Anambra state house of assembly did same to Peter Obi years ago, by frustrating him and impeaching him to get him out of their way since he wasn't giving in to their demands to further improverish the state as usual by doing the bidding of 'their Emperor Wike' (Chris Uba). However, Obi went to court and got his mandate back.
In all these, Sim Fubara is not a saint, however I see a man trying his best to dismantle a bad structure designed by a few to continually hold the wealthy state of Rivers in their pockets.

This is actually the real desire for many Nigerians that wish the country well regardless of religion, language, ethnic group, etc.

The Armed forces does not take directives from a minister, especially when a there's an order from a senior flag officer or the C-in-C himself. Kindly note this fact once and for all.

A whole French president's convoy from another country, was blocked by officers from advancing in New York city. Even after he called the host president
on phone, the visiting president had to walk on foot in the streets towards his destination, because of a standing order that must be obeyed by the officers.
Wike should have known better not to engage the officer acting on orders, but engage with the specific military authority.

elitper:
His Excellency President Tinubu will also get a third term insha Allah. We Nigerians deserve it.

No sir, please kindly make fifth term, so that by then you will finally be satisfied and be consoled in your misery, that you have at least, upset some set of people with your prayers.

I guess you already know the answer to the question is NO, a complete change of not only ones actions and beliefs, but also a total change of one's inner virtues.

The same guy that France pushed to power against Laurent Gbagbo who wanted a third-term. In 2011, Gbagbo's refusal to cede power to this same Ouattara, after his failed third-term bid triggered a short period of civil conflict in which about 3,000 people were killed.
What they are saying in the video above is that, they are tired of the situation Ivoriens have found themselves in presently. No jobs, growing inflation, electoral injustice, amongst others.
Yet, France pretends not to see all these, simply because in West Africa, Ouattara is their reliable accomplice in the quest to keep milking Africa.

Lucky you.
We wish you a blissful marital journey. Thanks for giving her a chance to hopefully live a different lifestyle.

At this stage it boils down to team psychology and mental strength. That's the difference between the Moroccans and Nigeria currently.

ChiefOloye:
Since you said my comment was worse, to be referred to as a confused person or a ma:d person, which one is more henious?

Let's not overflog this any further.
My point is you are not perfect, neither is the poster you were criticizing.
In my opinion, although the current government is doing its best, however, there are areas of underperformance, which when pointed out shouldn't be frowned upon, if we really mean well for the country.

ChiefOloye:
Really, where in my comment did I refer to anyone as being tribalistic or ma:d for his/her political choice or alignment?

Neither did he call an entire ethnic group 'a confused people' for their choice/alignment. That is tribalistic and certainly not nice as well.

ChiefOloye:
I wonder how this nairaland works. Someone wrote all these about the President, his supporters and even his religion and ethnicity, the comment is neither removed nor the person who wrote is suspended. But let me write the most innocuous comment about Obi, his desperation to be President or his ethnic people's 🤔 confusion of either to support Nnamdi Kanu's succession or Obi's presidency, my comment will be removed within minutes of posting it. I marvel at your double standards

But your comment is even worse than the one you're struggling to condemn, yet you want to blackmail the handlers of this forum.
Be honest to yourself and compare your comment with the one you're criticizing.

You just have to find a way to diss Peter Obi as usual in the most disrespectful manner possible, even though this topic has nothing to do with him.
Remove the log from your eyes first. No insult please, just stating the obvious.

If I was the Super Falcons team psychologist, the first thing I will tell the girls is to forget all the stats so far in the tournament (e.g 5-0 against Zambia, unbeaten run, 9-time champions, only 1 goal conceded, bla bla bla). PSG know better.

Me: Girls, all these nice statistics should in the dustbin by now, if we must win this final match. Forget all the 'hype' on social media by our fellow Nigerians. Same Nigerians will tongue-lash the team if we fall on this quest. Girls focus, this is the final lap of our mission. The entire Morocco (in their backyard) are standing on the way to our quest for Mission X, and we CAN, and we MUST move them off the way, willy nilly.
Painting the mental picture of our last encounter with Morocco, will help ignite the 'physical hunger' and 'mental fire 🔥' required in every member of the team, to surmount all expected obstacles.
It's not all about couching and tactics at this stage. It's team psychology - the power of the mind.
A team's mental strength and insatiable hunger is a key to success in difficult matches like this.

The super falcons should be made to watch their match against Morocco 3 years ago. The antics of the home team, as well as the pain from our loss would spur them on this time around. They need to start absorbing the pressure from today.
The pressure of a final match is always on another level. We played with only 9 players the last time against Morocco, in the same Morocco. Two (2) red cards and several yellow cards given to the falcons to drag us to penalties, and ensure we didn't win the cup.
Girls be prepared, these Moroccans will do every negative thing possible to win their first ever Wafcon trophy on Sunday, after hosting and losing the last final 3 years ago to South Africa.
We haven't played with a stadium full with Moroccan fans so far. A team psychologist is needed now, more than ever, to help boost the team's overall mental strength needed on Sunday, if we want to win the title for the 10th time.

Racoon:
Only president Olusegun Obasanjo and Goodluck Ebele Jonathan still commands some respect. Other are utterly useless

I wish I could disagree with your words, but it is a fact staring us in the face. Baba Buhari is just there only two years after his presidency, zero charisma, zero contributions in the affairs of the nation, almost entirely forgotten, as if he was president far back in 1928.
Even our great Jagaban, with all the influence of incumbency, does not even command real and unfaked respect from many within and outside the shores of our nation based on antecedents.

El-Rufai though disliked by many in Abuja in the mid 2000s, brought sanity back to the city's landscape. 'Angwan Mada' settlement presently known as Naf Valley Estate Asokoro, defacing the view from the expressway, was totally demolished by the Nasir Ahmed El-Rufai-led administration in 2006.

Good development. Gaps in proper environmental impact analysis is evident in many properties you see around these days.

LARRYOBRAIN:
I can't even hear what they are singing or is it a humming song. This one no be song, what is Omay Lay Gabriel singing

That's typical Omah lay for you. His lyrics are usually unclear and depressing in a nice way.
However, if I was the producer, I wouldn't end such a high beat song in such a dull manner. It took so long from the last lyrics to the actual end, killing off the vibe.

I think the length of the song could have been a little longer, 3mins at least.
Omah lay did so well, his characteristic incoherent lyrics blending well with the high tempo from the intro. While Davido's transition with his... sweet Fanta Diallo was simply sublime. Tempo is on another level. You can't just resist vibing to it. I love it.

Ok, now we have so many characters rushing to join the APC ship at the moment, with others characters waiting to join. Let’s hope the don't rock the ship mid-ocean.
