Dear Elrufai, our nairalanders here who seems to know you well don't believe you. Can you come to Ogun shrine or Sango shrine to swear this your swear? I want to check something.

Nothing other than extreme suffering of the masses plus helping corrupt politicians save the stolen money they would have spent during the so called 'election'

Long overdue

What's the meaning of experience? So old cargoes who have been ruling us for ages should continue ruling all in the name of 'experience'?

I thought this man called Soludo was a civilized man! What a silly statement coming from the governor's mouth.

But i thought the great Ooni of Ife is the greatest of all yoruba kings

jahsharon:
I think he has mental problems. He is contesting in Lagos, but he went to meet the king of Osun who brought together all Yoruba Obas to support Tinubu. I think this stupid boy is on drugs

Can't wait to see how many state governors LP will produce. The coming governorship elections will be interesting.

Young man, winning is not everything. Wisdom should tell you that there are some time and some situation in life where it is better to lose than to win. Remember there is a time for everything under the sun! A word is enough for the wise!

Aufbauh:
Wike has my kind of mentality.... ' in all you do in life, win! E get why.
Others can go to court, babalawos, pastorenuers, imams etc but WIN at all cost by any means. In the end you'll control all the Principalities.

The first female governor in River State

Truthdeypain:
He is part of the best brain Asiwaju is bringing into his government. Nigeria will be great again.

God bless Asiwaju
God bless Mc oluomo
God bless Kabaka

And God bless Asari Dokubo too. How could you forget Tinubu's best friend from Niger Delta?

Nice one supreme court

This is the man Tinubu will appoint minister of Niger Delta affairs.

Welcome to the government of thugs, by thugs and for thugs!

I understand how you feel bro. But you are missing a point here: this election proves that the non-yorubas living in Lagos probably outnumber the yorubas and they are a force to reckon with, and they are capable of even unseating an incumbent governor with their vote. Trying to victimize or treat non-yorubas in Lagos unjustly because of Tinubu's experience in this election will only backfire seriously.

The lesson here is that Lagos politicians who truly want to win an election must learn to make friend with non-indigenes and treat them well. Anything less than that is a political suicide!

Yamiriflathead:

Although disappointing
Tinubu tried to hold Lagos with the figures he pulled so far. Lagos is the Capital of Southern Nigeria, so what were you expecting?
This was a fight between ibos+SS+woke yorubas against Tinubu supporters in Lagos who are mainly yorubas and maybe Hausas in Lagos.

I hope Tinubu and yorubas have learnt a bitter lesson from Lagos Elections not to befriend and feed a cub because it is hopeless and dying. It will grow up and eat u up someday.

I'm happy yorubas can now sit down and ask qtns as to how they got everything wrong and redress it with BAT as President.

The take home from this defeat is..

Yorubas need to stop drafting non yorubas into the civil service and stop giving them prominent appointments. There are always technocrats who can always fit into any political office from the SW

Yorubas need to stop selling their lands to non yorubas in Lagos

Yorubas need to stop giving out local government of origins to non yorubas in Lagos

Yorubas need to stop allowing non-yorubas contest for Elections in Lagos or SW

Yorubas need limit the numbers of voters registration of non yorubas going on in Lagos, they care so much about Lagos and don't care if their homes rot, Henceforth let them go home and vote. They can't come and dictate to you on how to govern urselves after creating an enabling environment for them to thrive.

Congratulations to the incoming President of Nigeria BAT the ASIWAJU of Lagos nothwitstanding

For Peter Obi to win Ikeja that goes to show that Obi actually win Lagos.

If not for thuggery and election fraud that APC employs in Lagos Tinubu would have been thoroughly beaten and disgraced in this election by Peter Obi

From okada rider to a federal legislator. When when hard work and determination meet grace miracle happens. Congrats man

You are kidding, right?

saphiere:
I rushed in to check if I will see a female soldier but found none.

Women are not known for wahala. It's men who snatch ballots and it's men who shoot innocent citizens.
Men are synonymous with bad things.

Point out a woman who has ever snatched a ballot box. Of course NONE.

I hereby urge well meaning Nigerians to troop out in their multitude and vote Ojei Princess Chichi of Allied People’s Movement (APM) for President.

Let's give women a chance to prove themselves.

Merely looking at what they wrote in that false endorsement, it's obvious that couldn't have been written by Soyinka.

See this man. I think say na better thing you wan talk.

The write-up was biased and one-sided. You can do better than that baba

Eh eh. This aunty has forgotten her husband once said he has money more than a whole Osun State

Lol. You guys can be so illogical and unrealistic in your reasoning. No wonder you keep voting wrong leaders year in year out.

I can remember people like you were claiming UK government would sanction Nigeria bla bla bla if Nigerian government mess up with Nnamdi Kanu and people like us tried to make you guys understand Kanu has no economic value to UK and there is no way UK would jeopardize their relationship with Nigeria just because of a nere irritant like Nnamdi Kanu. And we were right as it turns out that UK government doesn't give a damn about Kanu.

Can you explain the economic benefit of Ekpa merely being a Finland citizen to Finland as a country? A second class citizen at that. Nigeria being the largest market in Africa do you know the volume of trade going on between the two country?

Nigeria only need to temporarily break diplomatic relationship with Finland until they repatriate Simon Ekpa. And if tbey think Ekpa is more valuable to them than the mutually beneficial relationship they have enjoying with Nigeria good luck to them.

Austineva2:
and u think Finland will choose Nigeria over her citizen? U see why Nnamdi called Nigeria a Zoo cos u all reason like animals. Tufia.

Worriedwife:
Use transfer. We need 2 see where your money was gotten from and where it is going to.

Abi na. In case he ends up sending the money to terrorists or political thugs we need to be able to trace it.

Nigerian government can force Finland to repatriate him if the right strategy is adopted.

gidgiddy:
How is the Nigerian government going to force another sovereign country to repatriate Simon Ekpa? Nigeria couldn't even force nearby Benin Republic to repatriate Sunday Igboho

When it comes to repatriating Simon Ekpa, its impossible

Digitron:
Supreme court does not have jurisdiction over monetary policies.

So if Supreme court rules that one dollar should be equal to one naira, who will obey it?

Lol. Supreme court cannot just wake up and rule that one dollar should be equal to one Naira baba unless the constitution clearly gave them power to make such ruling or the constitution clearly states that 1 dollar should be equal to on naira.

You don't realise that even the supreme court itself derive it's power from the constitution and can only make judgement or give order that is in line with the provision of the constitution.

To me it's high time Nigerian government force Finland to choose between Simon Ekpa and Nigeria.

Finland must be forced to repatriate Simon Ekpa to Nigeria to face the full wrath of Nigerian law for his many crimes against Nigeria or risk having their diplomatic relationship with Nigeria broken

So destroying the POS stand will now give them the money they need now. Stupid people everywhere.

The man is a realist

Baba, why need a 'solar system' when you already live in one?

They just answered the question that has been on my mind.

If sterling bank atm machines were dispensing cash as at the time ICPC officials went there i really don't see anything wrong with the bank having some spare cash in their vault.

Was ICPC expecting to meet empty vault?

Its only if their ATM machines were not paying while they had the cash in their vault that the bank would be at fault

I concur. CBN should allow Nigerians to spend the new notes along with the old ones for at least the whole of 2023.

Trying to prevent vote buying is not worth putting Nigerians through severe hardship by using cash scarcity as a weapon.

Nigerian government risk bloody revolution if they are stubborn and inflexible with this their new note policy.

The old notes still remain legal tender till 31st January 2023 unless there is an extension.

Anybody rejecting the old notes before January 31st should be arrested.

can you imagine

All this 'reactions' just because of burning of one book? Humanity still has a long way to go
