See gap

This actually made me LOL. Not until when you stated this, I didn't even take note of the moonslide gap between Hope & the other contenders; man really made mince meat of the elections.

Dino was understandably quiet once PBAT was sworn-in & his victory confirmed by the PEPC then Supreme Court; under normal circumstances (if he hadn't clinched PDP's guber ticket for Kogi), with all that has been going on in the country, he would've "released" different "tracks" for us & constantly yabbed the Tinubu administration.
However, been a smart politician who knew he was also going to be contesting for elections under Tinubu's INEC, Dino focused on his campaigns without any distractions. I really wish he wins this governorship election nonetheless.

And this is supposed to be a youth and future leader??

Most Nigerian youths are only angry they're not part of the corrupt and greedy few ruining the future of our country; give them the opportunity and their true colors will emerge just like this one.

It's unfortunate that every election cycle, we experience this same electoral fraud by desperate politicians in cahoots with some unscrupulous INEC staff and the reason is simple; no staff of the commission fingered in these sort of dealings that undermine democracy have been severly dealt with in accordance with the law.

The day the law begins to actually bark and bite those INEC staff that collude with wicked politicians to thwart the will of the people, that's the day we begin to experience some semblance of sanity in our electoral processes.

This video won't hold up anywhere. I expected to see the multiple award winning singer captured on video actually breaking a traffic law but I didn't see any; until a complete video showing him driving "one way" is made public, this particular one isn't solid enough to hold him accountable, if at all.

Emperor Wike arriving at the tail end of the service when the governor & chief host was already seated was a deliberate act of disrespect & insult to the office of the Rivers governor.

As then Rivers Governor, Wike would never have tolerated such level of disrespect; matter of fact, no one with their dignity intact would've attempted waltzing into an event where he (Wike) was already seated because of the backlash that would most definitely follow.

If Sim Fubara likes, he should genuflect, apologize publicly & call his immediate predecessor all manner of nice names from now till tomorrow, it won't "soften" the heart of Mr. Wike who throughout his well-publicised political career has been known to neither forgive nor forget, truly.

*Modified*

After I just watched a brief video of when Wike walked into the venue, I'm further disturbed for what is to come for Gov. Sim Fubara.

Like, aside some people that stood up as a matter of courtesy, the poor governor had to stand up for Wike to pass just in front of him to get to where he was earmarked to seat.

Lol. Whether they (Atiku, Obi, Atikulators, Obidients, PDP, LP, Datti, etc) accept the Supreme Court ruling or not, Bola Ahmed Tinubu is Nigeria's globally recognized President; he'll present the next budget, sign treaties/agreements on behalf of Nigeria, sign Executive Orders/bills into law, attend regional & international events on behalf of Nigeria as its President, host foreign leaders & also be received as Nigeria's President/C-in-C by foreign leaders, etc and there's nothing all the aforementioned persons & their supporters above can do about it at least for the next 4 years.

If they happen to be at the airport for a scheduled flight & the President also happens to be at the same airport, until the Presidential Jet has taken off & well on its way to its destination, those same people I mentioned will have their own flights suspended & again, they'll only have sullen faces but there's nothing they can do.

The President's appointee as CBN Governor will issue & sign newly minted currencies & those same people will have no choice but spend that same currency.

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will also through the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), issue Nigeria's passport to those same people; if they really want to travel outside Nigeria, they won't have a choice but use it.

So, whether for good or bad, better or worse, Bola Ahmed Tinubu is Nigeria's President today & a thousand protests against the Supreme Court's ruling or a million & one denouncements of him as President won't change that fact.

Little things fascinate us too much in this part of the world & that's why our politicians get away most of the time with mediocre performances in office.

The other time, a Twitter user was celebrating the marking (common "yellow box" oo that motorists in Lagos, Kaduna and a few other cities have being seeing on their roads without any fanfare) of a road junction in their state abi is it when people almost rolled out the drums in celebration of a JB sign dropped on their road to signify commencement of work?

Anyways, to the topic at hand, that's obviously a costume and it doesn't take a genius to figure that out; sometimes I wonder if some topics that make NLFP aren't deliberate to portray Nigerians & the country as one very backward people.

Lol. Nigerians have been brutalized, killed even by Policemen in their numbers yet, there was no strike by NLC.

Narrowing it down to the same Imo State, Igbos (young and old; men and women) have been killed in cold blood by "unknown gunmen" for no crime or fault of theirs yet, NLC turned a blind eye.

However, organized labour (NLC & TUC) now want to hold the entire nation hostage because the obviously partisan National President of the NLC was assaulted in Imo State by some persons allegedly on the orders of the state governor?

Nigeria by the grace of God will surely overcome the shenanigans of these saboteurs and their backers!

Lol. Can this man & his co-travelers please give it a break already? Any small thing, "Rufai this, Rufai that..." as if they tied their umbilical cord to AriseTV.

Rufai Oseni, also being a smart Alec, stirs controversy most of the time knowing that's the only way his stock can rise; the day he decides to actually be a professional journalist is the day his stock starts to dwindle hence it'll rather be a very cold day in hell than for him to discharge his duties professionally & not as a hatchet man.

I see a few commentators saying Otedola also ought to have been jailed but that's twisting facts.

If those particular commentators followed the news back then, it was clearly stated that the whole Farouk Lawan subsidy probe bribe was a sting operation; then Reps Member Lawan who was chair of the committee probing fuel subsidy fraud at the time attempted to shake down Otedola & others but the former decided to inform the security agencies which advised him to play along.

It's almost like the disgraced "super cop", Abba Kyari's matter with an NDLEA operative during a sting operation where he was captured on tape admitting to several acts contravening the law; while the former SARS boss was incarcerated, the NDLEA operative wasn't because it was a sanctioned operation just like Otedola's.

Lol. Nigeria is the more you look, the less you understand.

Comrade Joe Ajaero could be very well treated here in Nigeria (if not at public funded specialist or university teaching hospitals, at any private hospital of his choice) but of course, estacode & an opportunity to go and chill abroad on NLC purse won't allow him accept to be treated locally.

What's more, how else would the NLC national president impress it on Nigerians on the severity or otherwise of the "beatings" he received if he doesn't embark on foreign treatment?

Nonetheless, whether he receives local or foreign medical treatment, he would learn next time not to meddle in politics; very partisan somebody hiding under the umbrella of organized labour to support LP & its candidate.

The details are in fine print especially point number 7.

David Hundeyin knew his audience & was just stringing them along until this anti-climax.

Seeing how far the Tinubu matter has gone in the U.S he couldn't in good conscience accuse the USDOJ of complicity in any cover ups.

Ttalk:
I've been hearing of smooth criminal, but I never knew it existed in journalism.

This kind of climax only exists in Hardley Chase fiction, as Hundeyin's buildup story with enthusiast Obidients and Atikulators savoring and feasting abruptly came to a halt.

This is a disappointment to the Obidient family who believe the FBI report on Tinubu would do the final damage since their petition at the SC was thrown out.

Hundeyin didn't just discard the Obidients, he equally left with a sting that he had been sponsoring the investigation with his money in case the Obidients decided to drag him.

On a side note:
Could David Hundeyin have been working for Tinubu and APC? His family background pre-4th Republic suggests a strong affinity with Awolowo's family. Many of his family who benefit from SW politics and Lagos state would have no cause to pull down the house that made their family.

It could have been a game for 2027 politics where Hundeyin is used to extract vital information from the Atiku and Obi as a weapon to be used by the incumbent government to permanently nail the duo.

Atiku made some valid points but also contradicted himself & that's the irony of the man; someone who always wants to eat his cake & have it.

If Waziri Atiku actually believed in some of the very good points he raised, he should first of all never have contested the 2023 presidential elections; this man attempted to succeed a fellow Fulani who had already spent 8yrs in office. God knows that if the former VP had withdrawn from the race & supported Peter Obi (for instance) to gun for the Presidency, a thousand Tinubu+INEC wouldn't have been able to stop what would've been an early resounding victory at the polls.

However, Atiku being a clever man by half not only jeopardized his own chances, he ruined the Southeast & by extension, many young Nigerians' dreams of having a President that they could try call their own.

Nonetheless, Atiku can still match words with action by ensuring that come 2027, he supports his party (PDP) to identify, elect (at a presidential primary devoid of money politics) & present for presidential election, a candidate - who has good temperament, is credible, reliable, economically & politically sound, not a religious extremist, patriotic & has a nationalistic view etc - of Southeast extraction to run for office.

If he can do that, he would've truly established himself as a patriot & nationalist!

I've experienced this & it's an exaggeration to claim it adds an extra hour to scheduled trips; the entire process takes +/- 5 minutes.

Secondly, this was common practice in most parts of the North (prior to 2015 & still in force till date in some parts of the North) & ICIR didn't do a report on it & if they did, I didn't see it; let's not reinforce this "victim mentality". While it's uncomfortable making people to disembark/embark from their vehicles while approaching military check points, most reasonable people know this only happens in hotspots (and we can't deny the Southeast isn't one of the hottest spots at the moment in Nigeria).

You want to stop disembarking from your vehicles at military check points, stop killing yourselves and other security agents just because you want to pass a "message" to the government; the Northeast/Northwest toed the same foolish path in the North just because they despised GEJ; today, they've been dispersed in their millions, turned to refugees in their own countries & other neighboring countries, their homes & livelihoods destroyed etc yet, the man they aimed to spite is flourishing & living a peaceful & prosperous life!

PBAT is carrying on like someone who doesn't care about public perception of his political appointments since May 29, 2023 & that's rather unfortunate.

When then PMB was busy appointing his kinsmen up & down into most of the positions available, I thought he was wrong for doing so but it didn't bother me as much as what's currently going on.

PBAT's appointments so far in terms of geo-political spread make my stomach churn; it's even more tragic when you realize he's only spent 5 months out of a possible 48 & has probably made only < 10% of appointments that he has powers to make as President.

Gbagyi/Koro people who are the original inhabitants/land owners of Abuja didn't complain about a Southern Christian becoming FCT minister but one North-western cleric who has no direct ancestry to Abuja is busy threatening fire and brimstone.

Fuckingmallam45:
Tinubu stated it loud and clear that, DSS didn't allow him and his family to use any of their own private Jets, it's a safety measure and security protocol. Make una dey read nau. You all are educated, why are you people behaving like this?

Okay.

ST is actually smarter than this & not tone deaf more reason I'm surprised he used one of the Presidential Jets to travel to Kano with his friends.

One, he has the money to hire a PJ to travel to anywhere in Nigeria if he wanted.

Two, his father, before becoming President owned & maintained an executive PJ; what happened to using that particular aircraft instead of the one paid for & maintained by hardworking & tax paying Nigerians?

This is indefensible & a slap on the faces of millions of Nigerians who are going through perhaps the roughest times of their lives. Let the poor breathe please!!

Much as I don't like dialogue or amnesty for people who kidnap for ransom, maim & kill just for the fun of it, any genuine steps to bring succor to the communities where these bandits are most active is welcome.
However, as they say that what's sauce for the Goose is sauce for the Gander, it's a no-brainer that Nnamdi Kanu should also be released unconditionally and allowed to go about his lawful activities either here in Nigeria or whichever part of the world he chooses; man may have encouraged his followers to carry out unlawful acts against Nigeria but he hasn't done anything that these bandits haven't done & more, yet, they're getting a seat at the bargaining table.

The Nigerian Government failed & is still failing Leah Sharibu and many others like her.

Maybe it's weird coz she was driving a "big SUV", whatever that means.
Anyways, people are going through difficult times this season & if we (in our individual capacities) can render help without a significant impact on our own financial plans, let's do.
The other day this man walked up to me at the filling station (that first one immediately after city gate if you're coming from Central area) that I should help him with money to buy fuel. According to him, his destination was Kuje & he didn't have enough fuel in his car to continue the journey; it was a Saturday, I think & he was coming from course. Showed his staff ID indicating he works with Nigerian Correctional Service.
I gave him N1,000 with an apology that I couldn't help him with more.
I also found it weird because I thought he should've picked passengers along the way to gather some money - even if it's just enough to buy fuel - but hey, it's what it is.

With the type of new impetus this Hon. Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo is giving to the Interior Ministry, I sometimes wonder if he shouldn't just have been left at his initial posting - Marine & Blue Economy Ministry - where we would've started seeing & feeling (if what he's currently doing at the Interior Ministry is anything to go by) the impact of his diligence and capacity by now.

The Blue Economy Ministry as headed by Alh. Oyetola still appears to in deep slumber & time is of the essence.

I read this write up from beginning to end & I couldn't make any sense of what the author was trying to say aside rigmaroling, turning in circles & then landing somewhere I don't know.

Anyways, God is the one true & faithful Judge & only He - on the last day - will judge us all according to our works.

If it's barbecued pork like how my Uyo folks do it, then it's pork; followed by suya then asun in that order.

Lol. "Even people for government..." One thing is for sure, Naija celebs will milk this guy's demise in a bid to remain relevant.

It's well. May the young lad continue to RIP.

The Augusta Choppers are already en route Nigeria; the others especially the ATAK & Viper helicopters excite me the most.

PMB will forever go down in history as the one Nigerian leader that transformed the hardware inventory of Nigeria's Armed Forces more than any other.

Did the Armed Forces under his command judiciously utilize these hardwares? Posterity will be the judge of that.

18,000 result sheets haven't been uploaded just goes to show how unserious & unprepared LP was for the 2023 presidential election.
In other words, LP didn't have polling unit agents at all the PUs across the country but most importantly, this 18,000 result sheets the party is crying over is a confirmation the party didn't have agents stationed in at least 18,000 PUs because if they did, they won't be waiting for it to be uploaded on iRev; they'd simply tally their total votes based on copies of the result sheets sent in by their agents from all the PUs nationwide.
Then, let's even assume they've everything, Atiku of PDP also claimed that he won so what does that mean? Three people claiming they won but INEC declared one (Tinubu) winner yet, the other two so far haven't been able to convincingly show how they won or how many votes they scored that wasn't taken into account or was suppressed by INEC.
If you say you won, you won't base your case mostly on certificate (Tinubu's Chicago State University brouhaha), Tinubu's alleged dual citizenship, Shettima's double nomination, alleged drug money forfeiture & 25% in FCT; you'd base it on numbers & like they say, the numbers never lie!

Was making some sense about the police picking up everyone involved & carrying out a thorough investigation till he started issuing threats, naming ST the "face of Nigerian youths" & whatnot.

Mohbad deserves Justice. The police MUST do an impartial job of investigating the circumstances leading to the late singer's demise & finally, Marlian Music should pay up all royalties that accrued to Mohbad.

These are supposed to be basic dividends of democracy but Ikpeazu & T.A Orji before him spent a combined 16yrs doing only God knows what.

May Gov. Alex Otti's tenure bring widespread development and progress to Abia; the people there deserve nothing less.

PDP murdered sleep and by PDP I mean Atiku, Tambuwal, Amaechi, Saraki, Dino, Kwankwaso and every other political bigwig who dumped the party in the buildup to the 2015 general elections for APC but later returned to the party before 2015 just to grab tickets to contest in the 2019 general elections; they shouldn't expect any rest.

Whatever insult and threats Wike issues them now & in the future, they earned it as they did worse to the then sitting President - Dr. Goodluck Jonathan.

PDP can explode to smithereens for all I care; LP, APGA, NNPP, YPP and other political parties are on the fringes waiting to feed off the carcas of whatever remains of the once "largest political party in Africa".

If anyone has been to or had any official business at NIRSAL MFB's headquarters in Wuse they'd know that place is a cesspool of corruption; see many of their staff flaunting the latest iPhones, donning expensive jewelry, etc and that's on the surface.

If the anti-corruption agencies dig a little bit deeper, they'd find some of their (NIRSAL MFB) staff owning multi-million naira properties, kids schooling abroad (before you fault this, ask yourself how many parents in the public sector earning a legitimate pay are able to afford foreign education for their kids), suspicious lodgements into company accounts linked to top management staff etc

On an unrelated note, when will they look into the Nigerian Navy especially every officer (serving and retired) who at one time or the other in their careers were FOCs (Eastern and Western Commands esp) as well as serving and former commanders of NNS (particularly NNS Delta)?
