Even if Pope Francis comes out and says there is nothing woring with Muslim-Muslim ticket it wont' change my view or how I intend to vote. In the current situation in Nigeira, a situation where Muslim Fulani' have been killing Christians , where Muslim Kanuri Boko Haram, have been destroying chistian villages in the North and rapping christian women, it is totally unacceptable to have the 2 highest offices in the land occupied by muslims. Nigeria ISNOT an Islamic nation. If the Muslim-Muslim ticket is allowed, you can bet your life that come 2031 they will be talking of North-North ticket. PDP and LP are the only options for Christians in 2023

South Africa develop Nuclear Weapon? Are you for real??

Please go and read your history. SA had a functional nuclear weapons programe in the 80's. They never tested a bomb, but they had all the components ready

See the below from Wikipedia
...
From the 1960s to the 1990s, South Africa pursued research into weapons of mass destruction, including nuclear,[2] biological, and chemical weapons under the apartheid government. Six nuclear weapons were assembled.[3] South African strategy was, if political and military instability in Southern Africa became unmanageable, to conduct a nuclear weapon test in a location such as the Kalahari desert, where an underground testing site had been prepared, to demonstrate its capability and resolve—and thereby highlight the peril of intensified conflict in the region—and then invite a larger power such as the United States to intervene......

You will be in a small farm laboring with your hoe and axes without "globalized" world order.
Even Putin clearly stated up there that isolation is bad and is not his goal.

Want to see effect of long term isolation, check North Korea.

Not True, in fact history shows that when many countries are forced to look inwards, they actually do ok. For example South African in the 80's was under international sanctions yet was able to dvelop it's own Nuclear weapons program. Iran has been under sanctions for decades let is developing drones and warships. Cuba was under US sanctions for decades, yet has one of the best health systems in the world

I don't like Putin, but in the long run this could really benefit Russia. Nations need to learn that the globalized world order is set to favour the West. Nations need to start focusing on SELF REALIANCE. Starting with food (Grow what you eat, eat what you to grow), onto industry and technology. It's dangerous to be too dependent on the western markets and their economic model. They simply use it as a way to control other nations.

This is why I say many Nigerians do not have sense. They will attack people like Peter Obi or Godwin Obaseki, because they did not build mega projects all over the place. They forget that the most important job of a state governor, is to ensure sound financial foundation. Delta state is much richer than Edo, yet Edo pays pension on time

We don't make noise in Edo, just check our voting record. We never voted for Buhari, even with Oshiomhole as governor, we voted GEJ. We vote competence, and that's why we are 100% behind Peter Obi. He dose not need to campaign in Edo state, its in the bag.

Buhari picked a Pastor as running mate and implemented the most extreme Islamist government we have ever had.
Nobody is fooled by this stunt anymore.

He can pick the pope if he wants, he'll never be president

We had a poultry many years ago and I remember how devestating it was to come in one morning and see loads of dead chickens. In our case it was due to dissease even though they had been vaccinated. Bear in mind that there is no proper business insurance in Nigeria so once things like this happen it's a total loss. In some case the owner may even have outstanding debts.

I pray the owner has the strength and support to overcome this loss.

Why can't ATIKU support OBI?

I tire O! Why must it always be the southerners like slaves supporting a Northener?

Shugavee:
This will give Apc a greater chance of winning , tinubu is playing politics by taking the risk on our naivety and emotion, southerners making stupid decisions by scattering our votes in the south, while uniting the votes from the north. Atiku is not a saint but we also need to vote strategically or we will have to endure this Islamization coming up. Atiku is definitely going to have northern votes in mass but we all know majority of the south west won’t be voting for Peter obi.. Apc are banking on us being emotional with our votes. We want unity and peace! Try to understand this!

Between now and Feb 2023, I doubt I will read a more stupid post than this. In what way is Atiku a better bet than Tinubu? The same Atiku who deleted his tweet condeming the killing of a christian in Sokoto? The same Atiku who campaignged against GEJ telling Northerners not to vote an Infidel?
Rather than Atiku a Northerner take over after 8 years of Buhari, let the whole country disintegrate. Enough is Enough

babzo:
I still don't understand why after decades of home invasion, with the lady in this story saying one compound had been attacked 3 times; people don't cooperate and create a security plan including arming themselves with proper guns, as in well armed..
This their lives we are talking about.
If your neighbors won't cooperate, then move to another place.

God bless you. I am so tired of Nigerians and their passive nature. Peoples lives are at stake. The lives of your familly are at a stake. It is clear the govt won't do anything to protect, surley the next step is to protect yourself!

The only reason 30 people will come and rob in Wuse2, is becasue they have full confidence they will not be confronted by the law enforcement. Just like the Kuje Prison attack, this all points clearly to collusion between law enforcement and the bandits. Nigerians need to wake up and ARM THEMSELVES. If a fulani herdsmen can have an AK 47 to protect his cows, than why would i not have a gun to protect my familly? The late great Gani was reported to have said "IT IS ILLEGAL TO OBEY THE LAW IN A LAWELESS SOCIETY'

This is definitely an inside job. In a normal country, there would be resignations this morning.

Its clear the North do not want Tinubu,him and the SW are being taught a very hard lesson in the Nigerian Game of Thrones. APC is fast becoming a SW regional party!

Tinubu is finished, the North will not support him, the SS and SE won't support him. He's back to being a regional SW champion

garfield1:
Rubbish.atiku cannot win Kaduna,jigawa,benue,zamfara of bauchi. Gombe is 50 50.Edo is obi or tinubu

Tinubu will come 3rd in Edo.

It's really funny how some people just wake up, smoke banana leaves and they come and write up nonsense like the OP. I can assure the OP that Atiku will be lucky to get 30% vote in Edo. The 'Edo no be Lagos' election should have shown you that we don't take nonsense anymore in our state. Edo state is SOLIDLY behind Peter Obi. We don't make noise, we just do what needs to be done, as Tinubu saw recently and Atiku will seee next year.

It is only a matter of time sadly, before Nigeira breaks up. After over 60 years we have totally failed the test of Nation building and now we must reap the consequences of this sad fact. The only question left is will it be a peacefull break up with the new nations having a close friendly relationship or will be violent and bloody??

So somebody born of woman, with a brain between their 2 ears, will read all this and next year leave their house to vote for either Tinubu or Atiku? Haba! Una suffer never reach? Nigeria is effectivly bankrupt. The nation needs honest, focus leadership to repair this country or there will certianly no tbe a country left for us

Jagaban go piss for nappy when he see's thsi video

This still does not make sense. Why would just take a radom man from Nigeria, without first testing and confirming that he would be a suitable donor?

This election is going to be quite interesting. it's looking like ACP will not be so strong in the North. The 'Buhari Facrtor' will not apply in 2023. Increassing numbers of Northern politicans are defecting to PDP/NNPP. Tinubu is in a tight corner. If he selects a Muslim running mate he can count the SE/SS and parts of the NC and NE goodbye. Then the NW is a four way split with the other contestants. In fact I can see PO winning the in place like Kaduna and Bauchi, as he will hoover up the christian votes while the muslim votes will be split between Atiku, Tinube and Kwankwaso.
Without a solid Northern backing for Tinubu, his path to Aso Rock is totally blocked.

Tiny Edo state has more registrations than Anambra, Imo and Enugu combined!! SE una dey fail person hand big time.!

Yes the history stated here is true, but that will not stop this Edo man, from donating to Peter Obi's campaign and voting for him next year. Simply put, he's the best candidate out there and the only one who understands thed depth of the problems facing this nation. It's got nothing to do with tribe.

Firstly, when has a Muslim or Christian becoming president helped Nigerian masses achieve anything. I am a Christian from the southwest living in Lagos and we have conquered the religious squabbles that have brought turmoil to other regions in the south and made some places unliveable in the north. Just like Tinubu who is a Muslim with a Christian wife, many families in the southwest also have the same scenario and most of the children are allowed to pick the religion they decide to worship or practice. Fashola the former governor of Lagos is a Muslim man who has a Christian wife, and to add to the purity of their union they are both married to just one wife. My father was a Christian and my step mom is a Muslim, do i love my siblings any lesser i don't think so. My best friend is a Muslim, whenever sallah time comes we Christian's are the ones going house to house to chop our own meat. As soon as Christmas or Easter comes around our Muslim friends and family are celebrating it with us. What happened in Owo, Ondo was pure wickedness and trust me the perpetrators will be judged by God Almighty for their evil deeds. Why did a group of armed men kill members of a catholic church mostly populated by ibo's in a southwest town a day before the APC primaries, which had a chance of fielding a popular southern Muslim as its candidate. Only God can answer that question, but what i know is had that incident happened in any other region in the south, a counter attack would have happened in a nearby mosque and a religious war would have broke out. To attest to the love shared by the Muslims and Christians in the southwest the Imams and various members of different mosques went to the church to show their support and to voice their anger over this needless deaths in God's house.

As to the issue of muslim- muslim ticket i don't see anything wrong with it, because in an election you have to win before you can make changes. You have to align and re-align to put the best possible scenario to achieve your goal.
In the south you only have Muslims in the southwest and maybe Auchi, Edo state in the south south. So a Muslim is a minority in the south and in the north out of the 19 governors only three are Christians. So with the religious implications in the north, the northern Christian's are a minority. Elections are meant to be won, so how does the apc candidate who happens to be a minority yoruba Muslim team up with a minority northern Christian whose party apc has only one of the three christian governors in the north. Plateau is the only apc state in the north with a Christian governor and don't forget Plateau state is north central and the party chairman is also from north central. He either picks his vp from northeast atiku's zone or northwest that has the highest votes. As a team player he asked the north to pick his vp, because whoever becomes vp will be the most powerful politician in the north.

All i will say is that tolerance is all that matters, since 1999 when the presidency or the vice presidency went to the north, the presidency or vice went to the majority southern Christians. In all that time the minority southern Muslims have never complained, the last time it happened in an election was during the time of abiola. The northern Christians need to find a unifier in the north, the same way the minority southern Muslims have been able to find a unifier in the south.

All long talk. If Tinubu goes with a Muslim Muslim ticket he'll loose the SE, SS, Benue, Plateau, Tarawa, Adamawa, Kaduna, Bauchi and maybe Ondo. Lets see how he becomes president sharing the rest states with 3 others.

Africa's greatest days are ahead, Britain's greatest days are in the past

The movie of elcetion 2023, will be an Oscar winner for sure. So many intigues and twists and turns

Vixlot:
Congratulations to the Incoming President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. APC is sure to win the following South-South States:

Rivers ✓
Cross Rivers✓
Bayelsa✓
Edo✓
Delta 50/50
AKwa Ibom 50/50

I beg no use laugh kill person!

You really think Tinubu will win in Edo and Delta? You no sabi Bendel politics at all. Even when Oshiomhole was governor, Edo still voted PDP in the presidential race. Tinubu will be lucky to even come 2nd in Edo and Delta, we dey wait am!

bizbrainko:
Honestly a more rugged Wike would have been a killer punch, but what do I know?

Okowa is too slow to my liking. I am still trying to measure his level of appeal to other groups in the South.

Wike is an alpha male, he would not make a good vice

Jollof rice has become a mainstay in London cunsine. Many Oyibo really love it at lunchtime

This is how we always mess up in the souith. In 2015 not a single PDP northern governor dared to campaign for GEJ. They were scared their people would stone them. I hope this stupid governor will receive the same treatment
