Utter Nonsense. We have been using the rod for decades what has it got us? A lawless, corrupt society. The nations that do not flog are some of the most developed and richest. I know which one I would rather live in

Zionmdde:
They are all after their own pockets. So I support all of them. It's called political interest and political business

But u see those jobless nitwit who don't even know where their next meal will come from, fighting for these greedy folks, their stupidity will surely meet every criteria for guineas record

According to almost all of them, the only reason they should be there is simply because they are from certain region. No manifesto, no vision, nothing nothing

Too right. They only play the regional card when it suits them. I don't care if all the principal officers are from one region, to hell with zoning, to hell with 'balance' All we want now is competence. Let the best emarge!

I beg carry go. If we can have Muslim-Muslim President and VP, then all is possible. What we are seeing is in effect the end of zoning in Nigeria, which can only be a good thing. As long as nobody complaiins when we have a Christian-Christian-Christian leadership. We should only go for the best candidates going forward.

Nigerian politicians are shameless. The same man who was telling us that there's nothing wrong with President and VP being of the same faith, is now saying Senate President and Reps Speaker can't be of the same faith. Why not. They are 2 different legislative houses.

Hamiltonii:
Idiots like you are manipulated to pepetually keep the North in Power. You cannot comprehend that the North wants to frustrate Asiwaju's restructuring agenda with their senate presidency. They want to dish out to Tinubu what they could not do to Buhari. As a Niger Deltan, Tinubu would be better for us than a thousand Obi.

I will not stoop to your level with insults, you simply display online how your were raised. Maybe you can tell me, going down memory lande exactly how the SW have EVER helped the Niger Delta. I am from the same Niger Delta as you. Who supported calling a referendum in 1963 that saw the Midwest freed from SW? It was the NCNC/NPC Coalition over the objection of Awos' action group.

Who supported the increase in derivation for the Oil producing states ? It was a combination of SS and SE lawmakers.

Have you ever asked yourself why only Lagos Port works in Nigeria? Why were the ports in Warri, Sapple, Calabar allowed to go moribound?
who was behind it?

I could go on, but now its' your turn, please give me a single example of where the SW has done something in our interest?

The north should take it all. Stupid southerners that supported APC need to get sense by force!

Abi1985:
If you want Japa, please Japa. I am not saying you shouldn't japa.

They can tax so much - eh you want to cry
And sleep. Your own money goes to tax and more tax.

You are not really the owner of your property because of tax. Property tax is something else.

Child support payment na another thing on its own- if you like woman, please be careful not to have many baby mama e get why.

Nigerians back home cannot understand until they come here and experience themselves.

I remember when my cousin was warning me about the Uk. I thought he was talking nonsense until I came and experienced reality. Experience is the best teacher
If you are doing well in Naija, please stay and visit. If you are struggling, then please Japa.

You have simply outlined the differences between a functioning society and a non-functioning one. In developed functioning societies the citizens pay tax. That establishes a contract between then and the govt. The govt HAVE to perform in terms of providing infrastuctue and security or the people will ask 'What are you doing with our taxes?'
In a non functioning underdeveloped socieity like Nigeria, there is minimal tax. Ony those employed in large private firms or govt really pay tax, in addition to VAT. However the downside is there is no contract with the govt. Govt does not have to provde water, good roads or good hospitlas. Yes you keep more of your money, but you actually end up poorer becasue you have to provide everthing for yourself(Bore Hole, Generator, Private School, Private Hospital...)

Bunnatex:
Anything that prevents the likes of Orji Uzo Kalu and Dave Umahi from taking the Senate president position.
Please note I'm Igbo but I hate it when this selfish politicians play the tribal card for their own selfish desires.
Orji Uzo Kalu once said that Muslim Muslim ticket is good for Presidency but for his own selfish desires he'd faulting a Muslim senate president.
Same as Dave Umahi who was calling for competency and not zoning for Presidency only to start playing tribal card to achieve his selfish desire if being Senate president.

I'm Obedient and I await fervently on the recovery of our mandate, however, I refuse to allow myself to be clouded by the petty sentiments sold by these old men. I don't care if the president, vice and senate president are all Muslims, Christians or traditional believers. I don't care if all of them comes from the same state, geopolitical zone or tribe.
All I want is a working nation where there's social justice, equity and ample opportunities for all.


Had APC choose Osibanjo as their candidate, I'd have voted for him.
Had even Tinubu contested maybe 10 years ago, maybe I'll vote for him...


That being said, God bless Nigeria as we hope to elope one day

A thoughtful and intelligent write up. Well done!

Well done Sir Dangote. it's a shame late Yardua reversed OBJ's sale of Kaduna and PH refineries to Dangote, those 2 would have long since been operational at full capacity.
I hope Tinubu will address the power sector and implement reforms that will allow private sector players like Dangote, build and manage power plants as well.

This one is totally ignorant on how the UK works. The King has NO such power. He's role is purley cerimonial. There no concept as 'Pardon' in the UK, only parole. With good behaviour Ike can be released after half his sentence has been served

There are so many lessons and ironies in this sad case. For me the most important lesson is that politicians should develop their countries. If there were good transplant facilities in Nigeria, this would never have occurred

This one is even small. Go to Skid Row in Clai and see the number of people living homeless. There is poverty in the US that would make Maroko look like leki.
The difference though is that the AVERAGE person in the US has a much better standard of living than the AVERAGE person in Nigeria

This one that is crying now, will do 10 times worse if she becomes a minister tomorrow. Please let's not be deceived by these chralatans. Real Heroes like like that lNEC lady in Abia, do not need to come out and make noise, their actions speak for them.

My friend fathers was attacked in ogun state in his farm last week. The old man was marched with cutlass, it was only God that save his life. The matter was reported to the police and they came all the way from Abuja and said there’s nothing they can do.

Imagine in this tech era Nigeria police said there’s nothing they can do. He’s farm scattered, all his hard work for months destroyed and they still want to kill him just because he told them not allow their cow destroy his cassava farm.

Where re we going in this country. Nigeria is sitting on a time bomb and a lot of people don’t know

Picture attached

Ogun state voted for muslim-Muslim tickets. No sympathy from me.
Your friend should 'Go to court'

chinchum:
it would be worse now. Military ruler will have to shut social media to be able to breath and rule , also civil protests would be met with violent resistance. I witnessed a bit of military behaviour in early and late 90s even though i am less than 4 decades old. I can not wish military rule on my enemy, even though i sometimes fantasise about Nigeria governed by a smart benevolent dictator, i quickly jolt my self to reality.

You are very wise indeed. As I've said before, only those who did not live under the Military from 1984 to 1999 will be calling for a return to that kind of govt.

SeunDAssLicker:
I don’t argue based on emotions. Nobody gives a F about anybody’s emotion. I’m sure a lot more people said same with Sanusi.

Again, all Nigeria kings are under the control of local govt administration, if anyone misbehave, he will be dethroned. heaven will not fall.

Go and research history, learn what happened to the former MILLIATRY administrator of Bendel State George Innih who was very much against Oba Akenzua. Educate yourself.

longayink:
A Tinubu presidency shall make even an unborn child in Nigeria become corrupt and mischievous.
Nigeria's lopsided and dysfunctional political structure and governance systems were created by soldiers.
Nigeria's Constitution was supervised by soldiers.
No civilian government can restructure the political structure and governance system, no civilian government can rewrite the most contested and vexed chapters of Nigeria's Constitution. The constitution was not even subjected to popular referendum.
Only military dictatorship can change these for good or for worse.

Change takes time. Already we can see the start of restructuring. States now have the right to generate their own electricity for example. We need to keep moving forward.

Only those under 40 will be calling for the Armed Forces to take over. It shows gross ignorance of our history.

Do you think things like End SARS would be acceptable under a militray govt? My advice to you the youths is to go and read history and see how the militray delt with Fela, Gani, Dele Giwa, the Anti-SAP riots, June 12 riots... go and read about all those events in our history and then ask yourself if that is really what you want.

I was, and remain passionatly anti Tinuub, but I'll happly see Tinubu as President with all his faults and imperfections, than any military person.

ASAP. The prophecy is clear. Tinubu will be declared winner, Obi will be arrested, riots will break out, Army will step in with ING. All will playout in the next few weeks.

Sorry O Yoruba, but the caliphate must be extended and the SW is next up. Prepare to have Emirs in Oyo , Ondo and Lagos!!

If you don't like it, go to court!

Peter Obi MUST be arrested. The sooner the better. All parts of the prophesy may be fulfilled. Obi's arrest will be Tinubu's 'June 12th'.

Nonsense. It's now this crook knows there should be religious balance. Its too late, the next Senate president and speaker MUST be Muslim They should also be northerners. Every Southern Christian that supported Tinubu must eat sand with the rest of us!!

Fut9ure:
Some Nigerians are sick

Like I Said I will start celebrating 🍾 whenever I hear bad news...if you like call me evil 😈. You are wasting your time until we always step into the polling unit and vote without tribalism and petty sentiments

I notice that Nigerians are sick
The tribalism that was hidden in the foundations of our country have come out fully

The South west is completely gone when it comes to tribalism..they are too tribalistic
See the way they will quote me and tag me igbo

Am from Edo state...a Bini.the four major candidates were from the the three major tribe...atiku hausa, kwankwaso hausa, tinubu yorubas and obi igbo
So we south south were the people to judge them and choose wisely knowing fully well the hell Nigerians have been through and we did without tribalism. We choose obi
Obi was the right man but south west ruined everything with tribalism



What suddenly changed their hatred for Apc and Buhari administration to love

I thought we were going through hell...please to the rest of us not sick please lets celebrate and pop champagne whenever we start experiencing the hell we went through during Buhari's tenure again...no pity please

Hahaha

Since you all want to be sick

So tinubu got more than ten thousand votes after what we were aware of. The dementia, parkinson disease, not physically fit and mentally fit. Not aware of his environment. Even Oshiomhole was angry and reminded him that national anthem is going on

Wow
Nigerians are sick

A friend of mine in South Africa once said that if tinubu gets more than ten thousand votes it means we are sick

Koyo my brother. You are true Bini man, you have spoken well.

Tinubu would not get a job as a security guard in the UK, as he would security background check. No proper proof of school, no proof of birth..Yet this the person so called enlighted Yoruba's have foisted on us. No Wahala, we will all be mad together over the next 4 years.

He MUST be arrested, the sooner the better. The Prophecy clearly states that he'll be arrested, and that will trigger the uprising, that will lead to the armed forces setting up an Interim National Govt.

We Edo's are a self confident, accomodating people. We don't need to fear or hate anybody. Ojukuwu invaded the Midwest, yet we never retaliated against the Igbos. Igbos live in peace in Edo state and do their business and prosper. We have no argument with anybody, as long as you respect our tradditons and customs. The igbos have been pefect settlers in our midst and we have NO argument with them. Same with the Haussa's.
The only people we are watching with side eye are the Ijaw, who want to claim part of our land. One day we may need to remind them who be who for Edo.

FarahAideed:
President Muslim
Vp MUSLIM
Senate President Muslim
Now Speaker Muslim

Yep. In fact all service chiefs, CBN governor, and Chief justice should be Muslim.

Senate president, speaker of reps, all service chiefs MUST be northerner muslims.

We Edo's are a people who respect competence and honesty. We can all see what Peter Obi did in Amambra hence our total support for him. We also believe in fairness , the Igbos supported SS and SW in the past, even over their own son's, so now they deserve our support.

NotKnown:
She was busy forming queen mother for them. Threatening them. Sometimes they use voodoo to threaten them.

Most of these girls later find it difficult to marry or even give birth to children of their own later in life.

Most likely she go get better connection for police. She didn't know her time will come.

But I'm keep wandering. Has Nigeria ever requested for other nationals (of some of these countries that extradite our people to their place) to be extradited to Nigeria for prosecution?

Abi our own is just to give out without taking?

Point of correction. Voodoo does not exist in Nigeria. It is manly followed in Haiti and some other South American lands. I Nigeria we practice Juju which is very different(Even though the layman thinks they are the same)
Other than that, you are spot on!

Not to worry, Shetima is on the way with his boko boys

YoungBuffet:
Oga forget emotions and sentiment obi cant win a single state in the north and cant get 20% from what have seen so far that was why LP says they should cancell the election. LP guys jubilating over few PU won in lagos and others from wards have cancelled the few PU. Am not emotional about these things i believe in reality.

Does your definition of the North include, Benue, Plateau, Nassarawa and Taraba?
