Who does this one think he is?

Not surprised though. Not because I don't trust the judiciary, just that it was impossible for Obi to prove he actually won the election.

This is obvious if you consider the fact that Obi only won overwhelmingly in the southeast. The influence of APC governors who happened to be the majority in the north was bound to favour Tinubu who also won overwhelmingly in the southwest.

Obi didn't get as much vote in the south south region as he ought to have got due to the combined influence of PDP and APC governors in the region who happened to rig the election in favour of their preferred party's candidate.

This is why since the inception of this court case I have always said I am not optimistic about Obi's victory at the tribunal.

A writer with a sound mind. Nice writeup. Objective and devoid of any sentiment. I wish our leaders could read this and sit up!

It’s just plain simple, Men don’t marry a broke woman. If she has nothing to offer other than her poosie , run!

LoL. Oil dey your head my brother

That is nice. But the issue must be tackled from the foundation. The holy book says 'Train up a child in the way he should go'. There is also a saying that 'charity begins at home'. As long as we keep having irresponsible, emotionally sick parents who know nothing about what good parenting entails we will keep having wayward kids who poses security threats to the society.

Blackman7:
Tomorrow will make or break Nigeria.

No sir. Nigeria cannot be broken. Some politicians might be broken but Nigeria remains forever!

Good. Everybody should stay at home and watch the Tribunal judgement live on tv on Wednesday.

Brilliant! God bless you for your parents and for the country. You have the seed of greatness in you kid

I don't waste my time arguing things with vultures and vampires like you.

My last message to you is that that woman has already subdued all her enemies including your witchcraft. So go and rest baba.

You guys were hailing here before now you can't hail again.

Anyone that works against his or her people will suffer.

So if your people are irredeemable enemies of the country that constantly work against the interest of the country, constantly doing things that undermine the sovereignty and threatens the security and the survival of the country, whoever is not in support of that will suffer. You guys must be thinking God is a sentimental emotional being that can be swayed by human emotion and answer any silly prayer.

For your information, even though Lauretta may have her own imperfections like all human, her heart is far purer than you think. So, none of your 'curses' can work on her.

Did she kill your family member? Why did you curse her. Una funny for this country sha.

Btw, hope you know what goes round comes round. What you send out returns to you.

Longinyamapucci:
Very useless woman..we cursed her. She will feel more .

MrSinister:
A cow can only gore someone to death, not ram someone to death. @nlfpmod please edit the topic. Thank you.

By the way...

RIP to the dead

You are not 100% correct. Although 'gore' would have been the perfect word to use considering the fact that the ram used it's horn to attack the man. But if you realised that to 'ram' means to strike violently' you would see that the op's grammar is not wrong.

Abuja overtook Lagos long ago. Travel out of that huge slum called Lagos

Lower your voice baba

Non-military actions like severe merciless sanctions seems to be the best option against this Niger junta. Seeing that many Niger citizens are in support of the coup would make any attempt to employ military force to remove the junta too expensive and counterproductive.

There should be no excuse or justification for coup. Say no to coup. Coup plotters may bring temporary relief but their long term impact is usually catastrophic

I have this strange feeling that the Tompolo guy who said their own side of the story is the one saying the truth here. I might be wrong though.

I was about saying it's crazy for Nigerian government to give known criminals a contract of protecting oil pipeline but then it occurred to me that MOST Nigerians have criminal tendencies anyway. Even if you put a pastor or prophet or any member of the armed forces in charge of the oil pipeline they will still end up engaging in corrupt activities. At least, Tompolo's security company have been producing some result but they can't be totally trusted.

Only God go save this country.

It's because of these unpatriotic motherfvckers that make me support removal of subsidy on education. Nigerian government cannot be using tax payers money to subsidize education making these elements pay far less than they ought to have paid for their education only for them to turn around and bite the very fingers that fed them

I support Arewa on this. Tinubu's nepotism has made Buhari's own look like a child's play.

How can you appoint both the finance minister and CBN Governor from your tribe? If one is a yoruba person the other one suppose to be from another tribe or region. Just look at all the key sectors of the economy that make decision that affect all Nigerians, they are all controlled by yorubas: is it Nigerian Custom? Immigration, Nimc, CBN, Police, Army, judiciary, you name it.

And he has made sure most of the critical and powerful ministries are either controlled by the yorubas and the remaining ones by politicians who played key roles in his election whether they are fit for the job or not! Shie, Tinubu dey whine us ni.

If that man is lucky to escape being removed by the court I just don't know how he will win the second term unless Nigeria is irredeemable

So na like this soldiers go take over government all over Africa? Like play, like play.

I can't blame the ignorant citizens who are rejoicing over the military takeover of power though. When the people are not seeing real dividends of democracy and the elected officials are not ready to sit up what are you expecting?

All this prostrating and begging is not addressing the main issue: did the governor remit the funds meant for the local governments or not?

Why do federal government keep paying money meant for the local governments to state governors instead of paying directly to the local governments when we all know state governors all over the country tend to sit on those funds? How come no body is dragging this matter up to the supreme court?

825 billion Naira just to compensate Abuja indigenes for a project I can bet won't be up to 3 billion Naira. Somebody somewhere must be mad or drunk!

Thank you Ned for the clarification. Waiting to hear from the horse's mouth though.

Most of the negative comments on this thread shows that an average Nigerian is sick upstairs. So many of you were happy about the negative news just the same way you enjoy hearing bad news about Nigeria

Tareq1105:
All I know is that if Tinubu fail to get it right, then I don't know of anyone that would be able to fix Nigeria.

Are you for real? You mean in a country of over 2 million people, Tinubu is the only one you know that can fix Nigeria when we have people who are far greater than Tinubu in every ramification?

Something must be wrong somewhere.

If you truly trust and love your partner you will voluntarily share everything as the opportunity to share those things presents itself.

Secrecy in a relationship only means the two people in 'love' are either immature or they don't love and trust each other.

All these paid idiots. While I admit Akpabio was careless in is utterances but we should be thanking God he carelessly and unconsciously made that revelation. The questions we should be asking are:

1) was that the first time the senators have been enjoying that allowance?

2) who authorised and approved the payment? Was it Akpabio himself or the President or some other officials?

From the comments of some of the senators I could see that that was not the first time the senators have been enjoying that allowance. I think Akpabio was just being careless in his utterances.

So IF it's true that the senators have been receiving that type of allowance every year and it was not even Akpabio that approved the payment, the call for Akpabio to resign can only make sense if all the senators are asked to resign too.

The woman is most likely being sponsored by envious politicians who have been eying the senate presidency seat.

The president asked the 36 state governors to recommend people for appointment. The PDP governors wrote and nominated 10 persons,” he stated.

So what? Even the pdp states, like all other states, are entitled to produce a minister. And who is in a better position to recommend a minister to the president if not the governor of the state? And is that a justification for your betrayal? Anyway, I like the passion you bring to your job but power drunkenness, overzealousness and lack of human feeling might be your undoing.

Hmmm sad to still see people doing these traditional stuff.
Thank God Emir of illorin chased them away

And you are happy that the so called emir who is practicing his own religion is not allowing others to practice theirs?

OboOlora:
800k elites ke?
So I was an elite before I left Nigeria
Stop deceiving ursef Baba Adija, elites start from 10M/month in that country except u de stay Lalupon or Ahoada de collect that 800k.

@ the bolded: I agree with you to some extent. Real elites are the SUPER-RICH and the SUPER-POWERFUL in the society and they comprises may be just 2% of the population.

But I think those whose monthly income is from 5 million Naira upward belong to elite class. Anything less is ordinary.

In a country of over 200 million people, it's like:

1) we don't have a seasoned electrical engineer in the country so our president had to appoint a banker as a Minister of Power

2) We don't have a qualified Mineralogist or even a Chemist or geologist in the country so our president had to appoint a journalist as a Minister of Solid Mineral Development

3) We don't have a seasoned aviation expert or aeronautical engineer in Nigeria so a lawyer had to appointed a Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development.

4) a 63 year old grand pa is a Minister of Youth obviously because there is no younger person in Nigeria. By the way, what exactly will be the job of the so called Minister of Youth? Combining Youth and Sports Development under one Ministry seems to make more sense. Why separate them..

As a farmer, I guess his job would be to cultivate and sow the seeds of greatness and excellence into our youths so that Nigeria would reap the fruit of success, glory and excellence in all sporting activities. Just my guess though

So after all this years this one is still blaming colonialism for Africa's backwardness and problems.

African countries that could not manage their oil wealth and other natural resources very well you think $5 trillion or any amount of money for that matter will magically solve their problems?

Other races that were equally colonised have moved on and are doing well, Africa should emulate them and stop giving excuses.

I feel like slapping that aboki honestly.

Dozis:
The oil is only in the Niger Delta, they don't even own it.
The north has monopolized every aspect of oil exploration in Nigeria, they own the oil blocks, they are the majority staff in NNPC and the rest. Buhari was petroleum minister for eight years and this man has the guts to say Niger Delta shouldn't be producing petroleum ministers.
How do you compensate the people you have been destroying their lands since 1958?
I wish oil can dry up in and maybe our senses would reset in this country.
