This is absolute garbage. The first link was narrating how a presidential aspirant submitted his nomination form and his campaign manager addressing the party members about their vision. While the second link is that of Peter Obi emerging as the party candidate.
Who is the mod responsible for bringing this nonsense to the front page?

This is pure terrorism. The Nigerian media should stop calling these people bandits. According to my English dictionary, a bandit is an armed robber, who rob victims in an isolated area.
How does mass shooting inside a church killing over 50 persons be termed banditory?
What the hell is wrong with the media?

Please continue.

Be that as it may, you'll agree with me that given Nigeria's political atmosphere today where the North possesses the numerical strength to sway our democracy, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso will floor Peter Gregory Obi if both are put on the field and made to stand a free and fair election contest.

And over the years, the Kwankwaso name has become a household brand as far as the North is concerned. How he's managed to achieve that is a subject for another day. As it stands now, Peter Obi might not even come third in next year's elections and that is because he picked a minority platform to float his ambition in a country where numbers decide and ethnic sentiments play a key role in dictating those numbers.

My argument earlier was based on merit not electoral bias. However, if you guage the pulse of the country with current happenings, you will agree with me that at some point Nigeria will be due for a major shake up. It could be next year, could be in 40yrs but it will surely happen.

Previously, we were told this generation cannot fight for a cause they believed in, not until BLM snow balled into Endsars movement which shook the fabrics of this country and resonated around the world.

At some point it won't be business as usual. I don't know how Peter Obi managed to achieve this fame within the past few weeks. Nobody can deny there's a flame being ignited by Obi. His followership is organic. People are crowd funding for him when other politicians are buying vote$.

As for Kwankwaso, he is unknown outside Kano and maybe 2 other states. He can't win the presidential election with votes from 3 states. Does he have the capacity to win elections in Abuja, Kogi, Taraba?
Obi currently has more wide acceptance and spread than Kwankwaso especially among the younger generation and middle class.

Buddha3:
But sentiments aside, Kwankwaso and Peter Obi as President and Vice respectively would have been the masterstroke to upturn the 2023 elections.

Yes, some of you may argue that Peter Obi trascends the office of a VP but in politics, the relevance of building a strong profile over time cannot be undermined.

Peter Obi hasn't held any significant political office after the Anambra governorship, so the role of a VP for a term or two would have gone a long way to assuage the tempers in the east and helped build his own profile and leadership capacity for the years ahead.

Kwankwaso has a monumental appeal in the entire North. Obi is largely loved in the East and South South. A bit of lobbying in the west which Kwankwaso is definitely capable of could have given the requisite votes even if not total. All of this could have been the perfect recipe to shame Atiku and whoever the APC is to present.

Alas, it is sadly what it is! Sometimes I really have to believe Igbos put emotions and pride before decent political calculations and reasoning.

What are you talking? What has been Kwankwaso's highest political office apart from being governor, same as Peter Obi. Outside politics, what has been Kwankwaso's antecedents in the private sector? How about education? Oga, there is simply no metric where Kwankwaso's beats Obi. None

labas370:
Thanks for noticing that. There are somethings SE players are not supposed to do as internationals. The way most of those homebase played is exactly the same way national teams of Tahiti, Bangladesh, fuji play. Just a flash. one good play, mess it up with below average decision.

I watched the first half of this game. And I can say 95% of the foreign based players played exactly how you described.

He didn't even vote for himself?

It's obvious most Nairaland users are not a brest with facts about what's going on. Peter Obi has grown to become a national phenomenon across tribal lines. Most of his loudest supporters are not Igbos. The military guy who resigned to campaign for Obi is not Igbo.
Tagging Obi's candicacy as a South East agenda when no South East governor or political figure has come out to endorse his candidature is a great political miscalculation. Obi gained organic cult followership. A fact the filty rogue Reno omikiri cannot keep up with.

Anyone who claims Reno was not bashing Igbos on this particular tweet is smart by half. The man has been bashing Igbos and Peter Obi over the past few weeks and out of the blues he's coming out with this blather.
Well, the good thing is that Igbos were smart enough to catch the sub. We are not one of the smartest tribes in black Africa for nothing.

1.5 trillion Naira? How's that even possible? That's the annual budget of 12 states put together.

Pls age detectors in the house. How young is this Flying Eagles player? This one be as it get.

This man is well into his 40s. Which club does he play for?

The Nigerian police are not good liars. They claimed it was a gas explosion from a nearby welder, but somehow, this welder survived the blast with no injuries. The said blast brought down buildings down the street...incredible story

TheSuperNerd:
I actually feel Mbappe's decision will just elevate Vinicius Jr so much more in Madrid.

Mbappe was coming to take his LW role. Vini could have been shifted to the right.

So Mbappe's NO is Vini's Salvation. Vinicius will continue his evolution into Madrid's next big game Monster Player.


And you are right on all points concerning what choosing Madrid now would have done for him economically, brandwise and more. He would have easily become the face of the World's Biggest Club. It doesn't get bigger than that. But well, to each their own. He's made his choice.

Time will tell if it clicks for him.

Sometime last year on this thread, some of the posters here were saying Chukwueze was superior to Vinicus Jnr. How time flies

It will be tomfoolery to discountance the power of social media in elections. Most people knew Buhari will beat Jonathan guaging the pulse of Nigerians via social media(Twitter and Nairaland in particular) . If not anything, APC's social media attacks literally sank Pdp.
The last election polls on SM indicated Buhari will loose the elections, well he lost! Resoundingly in Abuja and inside Aso rock.
Reno dropped the ball on this one.

This Uturu /Absu axis have become a fertile area for kidnapping. A few weeks ago an associate was kidnapped right on this very spot.

Odunayaw:
Are there 24 (from the chart) countries only in the world?

Besides what do you mean "an African club". Al Ally is a club that frequently comprgrd on the world stage. They aren't a small club na

Nigeria is not Solomon Island either. We campaign at the world stage. There's nothing about $70k salary to scream about judging by the current market rates of international coaches and Ahly no matter what you say still remains a clubside in Egypt .

dkay51:
I dont think national team coaches earn as much as their club side counterpart likely due to the workload of week in, week out games at the club. Its not exactly cause this is Nigeria, we're one of the highest paying in Africa, I might add.

Nobody is contesting the fact that clubs pay more than national teams, but for an African club, the differential is quite huge. $70K is bare minimum in the industry. Even your chart suggests Gernot Rohr was the least paid at the last world cup, when eye brows were raised at his meagre $50K salary.

TheGoodJoe:
I hope Peseiro is Guardiola and Klopp in one.

Don't stress yourself if you're screaming because of his salary. $70k per month is way below the market prize for even a D-list coach.
Pitso at AL Ahly Nationale earns $160K. He was previously on 120k but his new contract was increased. I shudder to think we struggle to pay our national team coach half of what an Egyptian club pays their coach. The bar is really low.

andrewbaba44:
Show me his braca and Bayern spending oga sir

Since he is a spender then he should have spent a fortune at Barca and Bayern

You no sabi read again? He has a career spend at £1.59B.. That's not even including the Grealish transfer .. So my question to you is, was it at man city he spent all this £1.5B?

andrewbaba44:
Thank you for showing me mourinho at the top

But pellegrini doesn’t spend money abi Na my eyes Dey pain me

Show me how much Bayern has spent oga and stop beating around the bush ,show me the amount pep spent at Bayern and Barca ,abi hand Dey pain you to make your research?

Look at Bayern at 13th on the list below but you think guardiola spent heaven and earth there

For the last time ,where are the billions pep spent at Bayern and Barca

You must be a crazy man. So Pep spent all this money on only Mancity?
What has been the improvement on Pellegrini's achievement since Pep took over?

For the last time, did Pep spend all this 1.59B only at Mancity? Morafucka

andrewbaba44:
Show me the billions guardiola spent at Bayern


Pep bought busquets Pedro Thiago alcantara ,pique Adriano Seydou Keita Ibrahim Afellay for more than 500 million together

Pep got Fàbregas for 35 million which is a very decent fee and he did well before he left for Chelsea so talk another thing

If you think zlatan who was one of the top scorers in Laliga then with 16 goals in his only season is a flop ,if you think someone who scored 22 goals in 46 games with 13 assist is a flop then you need to have your brain examined

Bayern is the biggest club in Germany ,before pep Came to Bayern they are the bundesliga club with highest net spent ,but your ogogoro analysis want pep to reduce it to prove you wrong

Zlatan and eto swap wasn’t more than 70 million but you have to high the price because of agenda

So it’s no more mourinho and pep as before but now klopp and pep , I am loving this

You're just blowing hot air.. You and who dey discuss about Mourinho? Abeg go sit down.

Before your Pep went to Bayern, they won a treble including the Champions league. Pepe kept getting disgraced in the Champions league with Bayern.

You asking me how much Guadiola spent at Bayern?
This man, you no well o

TheGoodJoe:

I doubt Guardiola bought Lewandowski and Hummels. I believe they were there before Guardiola came.

Either way, I am not getting mixed in all this better. i like both managers. They are both brilliant and have achieved great things.

We have also achieved great things under Guardiola.

If Guardiola took over Liverpool at 8 positions, he would have achieved great things. They are both brilliant and wonderful managers. Blessings to football.

He got Lewandowski and Gotze. I'm not so sure about Hummels.

No disrespect to Pep, he is the most influential coach in the world, no doubt, but klopp is just the better manager between the two.

andrewbaba44:
I don’t like dragging klopp because I like him ,but You think you can come here and use klopp to drag pep then you are in for a long thing

How much did pep spend at Barca and Bayern with all those achievements since he is a check book coach ,maybe it’s pep fault that man city have all the money available

Klopp went trophyless for years at Liverpool but it’s seen as a normal thing because his name is not pep

It’s not pep fault that city board purchased a grealish that’s not needed while he was crying for Harry Kane

It’s not my fault that you choose to be deluded because if you are not you would have tell me how much pep spent at Barca that his team was the greatest in history of football

It’s not my fault that you are also blind that klopp doesn’t even have guardiola Barca achievement ,go and argue with people in your village .

It can only be in your family where I believe you might be the best in terms of footballing knowledge there but cap trash on a steady

Klopp and Pep will always be compared because they are contemporaries just like Ronaldo and Messi or Henry and De Lima. The earlier you get it into your head, the better for you.

Now, wtf are you trying to say? Grealish wasn't a Pep Guadiola signing? Are you crazy?

You're saying Pep didn't spend money at Barca? The same guy who gave out Eto to Inter Milan for Ibrahimovic in that scandalous transfer worth 90+M? Ibrahimovic later flopped. He got Fabregas who wasn't needed only to play him as a false 9...lol
The man is pushing £2B net spent in his career and you're talking crap.

Name the Bundesliga club with higher net spent than Bayern. I challenge you... You dey ment..

andrewbaba44:
Operated with unlimited resources but he was the first coach to splash 75 million on a defender

It’s not pep fault that man city has the money to spend

Now tell me how much guardiola spent at Barca and Bayern since he is always having all the money

Klopp towers pep in your village and your backyard ,klopp is yet to even have pep Barcelona achievements but in your small mind he towars pep ,now tell me how much did pep spend at Barca to achieve such ?
Klopp lost so many finals before he managed to win one ,if na guardiola ground for open

Na una want make me drag klopp and I like that man and tipping him to win the ucl ,it’s because mourinho is useless that’s why you had to use klopp

Klopp is not even among the top 10 most successful coaches but he towars pep

Buying a defender for £75M doesn't represent recklessness. That same defender nearly won the world footballer of the year, so what the fck are you talking about?
Klopp’s player purchases have been outstanding. Diaz being the latest shrewd investment. Pep has been much more scattergun. Where exactly does Grealish fit in, for example?
Klopp towers above Pep in my village and even in your immediate family. Yes.

TheGoodJoe:
Klopp was in the same league when Guardiola won it three times in four seasons. Klopp was in England when Guardiola cleared all domestic titles.

They are both brilliant. That is all.

Pep had to buy Klopp's best striker, defender and midfielder to achieve that in Germany. Klopp wasn't operating with the same resources. Money matters.
Even in England, Klopp took an 8th placed Liverpool with zero Premiership title to the fierce team in the planet. Klopp is just better, in plain English.

andrewbaba44:
What’s your point on talking down on guardiola ?

Klopp haven’t even won half of guardiola trophies but he dust him hands down ,be deceiving yourself

Klopp lost about 4 finals before he won his first finals ,I am sure if it was guardiola you will be here capping trash

Klopp have 1 champions league and guardiola have won 2 ,so what’s your point

FYI guardiola was still a footballer when klopp have been coaching but we know who achieve pass

Everybody hates guardiola because he is not at their club

How convenient for you to list the achievements of a man who has operated with unlimited resources all his coaching career to another who has had to carve out a niche for himself, cutting his teeth at smaller clubs, yet the difference between them is 1 Champions league which Klopp could match in a matter of weeks.
Klopp towers above Pep 100%

andrewbaba44:
Pellegrini got is preferred players so what’s your point ?

And with that no manager scored more goals and won more trophies than him during his spell in England. So what's the whole point exaggerating Pep Guadiola?
Klopp dusts Guadiola hands down in this game. Klopp is streets ahead of Pep

andrewbaba44:
Ucl finals

10 trophies in a short period

Mancity and pellegrini didn’t win half of that

Pellegrini didn't spend £1B either.

Odunayaw:
You should try not to lie next time

From the list you posted, you didn't realize most of the players were either northerners or playing for northern teams?
Bosso is an agent who came to rectify the absence of Northerners in the Super Eagles.

https://dailytrust.com/amp/why-northerners-dont-feature-prominently-in-super-eagles

https://dailytrust.com/most-talented-footballers-in-nigeria-are-in-the-north-salihu

We know exactly what's been going on over the past few years with the tactical installation of a pro northern agenda to help the north catch up with the south in soccer. The rise in failure rate over this period has been as a result of this policy.
Arewa Facebook page rejoiced when Tunisia beat Nigeria. You know why? Lol

jihday:
yes Ladan Bosso shouldn’t have been retained but why are you lying? Why are you desperate to paint him as a tribalist? Below is his squad from 2020 how many northerners can you see here?
