Nigerians have to be the most STUPID people on the planet. Despite all the terrible leaders we've had, many people still don't think it's important to properly vet anyone who wants to be president, just because there person is from the same ethnic group as them. Are we really that small minded?
Look this is NOTHING to do with ethnicity, there are many sound Yourba's like Osinbajo, Fashola....etc who I would happily support for President.
This is about CHARACTER. There are so many warning signs in Tinubu's life story. The cocaine case in the US, the fact till this day not a SINGLE person has come out to say they were his classmate in university, now this issue with his age, where it is clear he is not 69 else he had is daughter when he was 9 years old. All the sordid details around Alpha Beta....is this really the kind of person we want as President of Nigeria?

Maybe the real reason his wife left him, is he refused to vaccinate his kids or give them medicine when sick.

Seriously this is the kind of fanatical Christianity that has done so much damage to so many. I know of people who have lost their lives because they refused to get proper medical care when sick, but instead listened to their pastors who told them all they need to do is pray.

Just to clear a misconception going around, the President does NOT need to hand over to Osinbajo. He only needs to do that if he's gong to be incapacitated. He's just going for a check up

AmbaliJ:
Eiya. ShiNedu is celebrating Tinubu's 79th birthday in advance. I wonder why All una wey dey obsess over and doubt Tinubu age, abi na because e no sure for una say una go dey alive by the time he celebrates his actual 79th birthday? Just asking.

How old is his eldest daughter?

She has sowed a very evil seed by this blasphemy. I hope she can bear it when its time to reap. People need to understand their actions have consequences and those consequences, which can inter generational. Ask yourself why some people just seem to have bad luck at everything?

Excellent! Anytime he travels Osibanjo makes rapid improvements. He should stay in London for at least 6 months.

Dear Op what have you done to beautify your village? Everybody complains, everybody compares Nigeria to other countries, but nobody is prepared to do there own little bit. Let me tell you in most developed countries, ordinary people do a lot of thing outside of govt. In Nigeria everybody just wants to be an armchair critic.
I recommend you watch the movie 'the boy who harnessed the wind' See how one boy in Malawi made a difference that saved his village from famine. We all need to start being the change we want to see

Guy hear me well.

If you do not intend to be serious with her let her know now. She accepts a non comittted friendship or she waka. If you string her on, telling her you love her when you dont...Lord help you. Women can act really crazy when they feel they have been used and dumped

Any right thinking person knows Nigeria is a fraud. If the North had Oil and a route to the sea they would have left long ago.
We need to have an honest discussion about separating in a mutually beneficial way.
This may just involve a restructure to give the states more power and weaken the centre or full separation. What's clear is we cant continue like this on foundations that were only created for British interests.

Sothern Youths, you did not wait for politicians or traditional rules when you lunched EndSars and shook the country to it's foundations. These criminal politicians will never have your interests at heart. Do Tinubu's kids study in Nigeria? Do Oriji Kalu's family relay on Nigerian economy for their welfare. Wake up. The southern leaders who cry 'One Nigeria' are the ones who are gaining from this contraption. They do not care about you or your future. You have to take your destinies in your hands and DEMAND that there will be no election in the south in 2023 except the country is totally restructured first. You have the power to do this

There should be a mass burning event of Nigerian passports and voters cards. Everybody in the SW should burn their voters cards,. that way it'll be clear there will be no election in 2023. SE and SS should do the same. Power derives from the people. if the people no longer want to live under this current Nigerian structure there are loads of ways they can go about it with a single shot being fired.

Tinubu has backed RUGA to please the Fulani
Tinubu has now doanted N50 Million to please the Fulani

What Tinubu seems to not know is NO AMOUNT of ass licking by him to his Fulani masters will ever make them support him. He only needs to look back through history to what happened to MKO Abiola.
MKO was a staunch supporter of the NPN in the second republic. He's concord newspaper was a constant attack dog against Pa Awo's UPN. Yet when he wanted to run from President in 1983, the NPN told him to piss off.
The same MKO build numerous mosques and Islamic centers across the North, donated to many northern causes and interests , yet when June 12th came the North abandoned him.
If Tinubu does not learn from MKO's fate too bad for him. The Caliphate will NEVER accept a Yoruba Muslim as president. The is a reason no Youruba Imam can officiate in a Northern Mosque.

This is democracy and the senators are perfectly within their rights to have that position. By the same token the downtrodden and brow beaten southern masses also have their right to declare their complete and total rejection of the Luggard created contraption of Nigeria. Souterners do not need to be told what is in their interests by self serving senators or governors. It is not the senators that are being kidnapped and raped by blood thirsty Fulani savages. it is the hard working southerners. Those same hard working southerners are now saying clearly Enough is Enough!!

NaijirianKing:
This is how people like you insulted peaceful Fulani residing in the SW until ethnic clashes erupted. Now media bias has made it seem as if the Fulani are the aggressors when they are being chased out of their homes and settlements across the SW.

Seek peace and peace will be, beat the drums of war and people will dance to that tune. A word is enough for the wise, this country may have problems, but we need to fix the problems not destroy the country. We won't allow it.

War is already with us. Those who know it, know it. Nigeria was never meant to be a country where one side can dominate others. Unfortunately the arrogance of the North has become too much. They used to be skilled chess players, but now greed has consumed them. They have pushed the south too far this time..

This is why you will NEVER see Buhari in any live press conference or 1 to 1 interview anymore. The poor man is suffering dementia. I was never a fan of Buhari, but I know for sure that the Buhari of old would NEVER have put up with all this herdsmen nonsense. Recall when he was in the army he chases out the Matasine Islamic cult from Nigerian and pursued them all the way to Chad.
Greedy cabal members are keeping a sick man in office so they can profit. Lord knows what they put in front of him every day to sign. We can only pray that somehow the country is rescued from this sad situation

How much has he donated for the welfare of Ogun state refugees in Benin republic? How much has he donated to the villagers who have been made homeless and farmless from Fulani herdsmen?

See this stupid Aboki now wailing. Was it not you people who voted for 'change ' then 4 years later voted for 'next level'? This is the next level change you voted for. Enjoy

Yankee101:
You think it's your zoo? A sitting govt gave them the C of O. They didn't pluck it from trees

What the heck are you saying? Are you really saying that it's ok for a governor to just transfer ownership of govt land to others without any kind of due process? Is that how things are done in the foreign country you live in? Osho committed a CRIME giving these people govt land. Obaseki has corrected the crime. End of.

Yankee101:
For people that ask why we live abroad, it's for reasons like this

Even the US president can't do this. If it happens for any illegal reason u don hammer. The courts will award you so much that even your grand kids are set

Please drop your mic bro. In the US or UK can private citizens suddenly go and build houses on govt land? I beg get your facts right before coming to comment. The houses were built on govt land that was illegally transferred to private citizens. The Certificates of Occupancy for the individuals have been revoked for over a year. Everything the govt has done is fully legal and above board.

You mean you joined ACP to rebuild your bank balance!

gawu1:
Who are those your brothers in the middle belt? Is it the people of Niger State where the likes of former police IG who you people referred to as Hausa -Fulani and hated him through out his tenure comes from or the people of Nasarawa state where the present IG you hold with disdain too and call a Fulani comes from?
You are quick to call middle belt friends whenever it pleases you and to satisfy your political calculations, but will also be quick in identifying them as Hausa-fulani to underpin them whenever anyone from there secured honorable position you hope should go to you.

There are many in Benue and Plateau that will happily stand against the murderous Fulani savages. They are already in the furnace of that battle as we speak.

omoharry:
if all southern leaders and thier people could unite , then it will be easier than an ethic group doing such .
A United south would be a force that the north cannot fight against and thus will force the north to come to the round table . Then if we cannot agree to live together like civilized human being, then we can go our separate ways, without spilling any blood .This is after the north must have tried that divide and rule tactics and didn't work .
If the south could just unite and fight against any politicians that still want to kiss the Fulani ass ,then it will be easier than you think .

May you remain blessed. You have said it all. The south and middle belt have THE POWER in this country. The only thing the far north have going for them is the ablity to divide everyone else. If the SS, SE, SW and NC stand together they can change this country into something we can all feel happy with. This is the chllange for younger generation. They can do this if the put thier minds to it.

This is the way to go. The time for 'gentle gentle' has long since passed. Where where the so called Youruba leaders when thier people were being killed and raped in their own villages. The young generation have now got up and said enough is enough.
The same thing happend in SA in the 60's, when Mandela and Tambo started to agitate in the townships, the older generation were not in support, feaing the reprisals of the whites. You have to shake the tree in order to get the fruit of liberty.

BSdetector:
Historically speaking it's a matter of huge distrust between Yoruba's and igbos, I as a Yoruba would find it highly difficult to trust an Igbo man considering the pre and post independent activities of zik and tbh the igbos constantly blame the Yoruba's for supporting fulani's when historically speaking they've supported every northerner from abacha, balewa, tofa and a host of others.....anyone with a good memory would remember how it was majorly igbos and their islamophobic propaganda that voted and were against MKO. And even the obasanjo they keep parroting about was a compensation for June 12 and obj wasn't even the choice of most Yoruba's it was falae. Most of our liberal yoruba parents during the civil war kept and maintained the houses of some of their igbo friends during the war which helped most of them resettle back in lagos something which even some of their close relatives in rivers and SS didn't do for them, wike who was one their hero is known that his father made a bulk of his money from selling houses which belongs to igbos but to most of this ipobs Yoruba are the enemy, they talk about how Awolowo offered them £20(worth £500 in today's money) they call him a devil. How many northerners even offered such idea. You add to that their islamophobic and nazi like attitudes and you'd see why a southern unity can never happen. Fulani's may be a wild beast animal, but the only difference between the fulani and the igbo man is that one is just angry that they aren't the oppressors.

You have spoken from the heart my brother, and I thank you. We need to communicate our grievances with each other. It is the first step on the road to healing. Iam sure many Igbos have their own grievances against the Yoruba, these must also be heard and respected. Ultimately both the SW and the SE must find a way to work together. This can only be done by the new generation. The Igbo will never be as dangerous a threat to the Yoruba as the Fulani. The Yoruba will never be as dangerous threat to the Igbo as the Fulani . Unity is vital or defeat and slavery is certain.

U just hope the money will go to the wife and kids. Why is the sister collecting it.

Anyway praise to the dynamic Edo state government

twosquare:
You can't restructure a decayed system. Think about it. How many times have restructuring been called for since 1960? You will be surprised to find out the answer and the Fulanis stood against it. There was region in early 60s,but see where we are today.

The solution is for Nigeria to give birth to new nations. Independent countries should come out of her.

The truth is, which you and I know, the North will not agree to any restructuring that doesn't put it at an advantage over others. Just 2 weeks ago, a bill to restructure the armed forces was shut down by Northern law makers. And are you telling me they will agree to total one? You decide.

My brother the arrogance of the North is only made possible by the disunity in the South. If we can unite and also reach out to our brothers in the middle belt, we can then DEMAND the type of restructuring we want and if the NEand NW refuse, they can go and form their own by themselves We HAVE the power, we have just allowed petty grievances and historical grudges keep us divided for decades.

I will continue to beg SE and SW youths to extend the hand of friendship and cooperation to each other. Enough of the online insults and name calling. There is a common enemy on the horizon. The North. The North wants to completly dominate Nigeria. If the South remains divided, they will succede. The youths have the ability to change the direction of this country. You showed it during the EndSars protests. Southern Youths MUST unite now and call for total restructuring of the nation or no election in 2023 in the South. This is our last chance

Southerners are the most STUPID people on the planet. A CLEAR plan to overrun the south via a second jihad is in progress, Ogun State indigenes are refugees in Benin republic and we are still talking about 2023. Are we mad! We must rise up now build bridges between the SE AND SW. Enough of all this childish name calling and insults between Igbos and Youruba. We all need each other plus our SS and Middle belt brothers. If we do not stand together NOW and combine our strength to repeal the jihadists, we will ALL surlely fall to their conquest. The enemy of my enemy is MY FRIEND!

Wike is fully entitled to his views. What fellow southerners need to understand is members of the political class like Orji Kalu, Tinubu, Wike, Amachi..are all for the status quo because they gain from it. We need to take our destiny in our hands and demand the restructuring of this country or boycott the 2023 polls. This is really the last chance for the South. If the north get another 8 years in 2023, we may as well all convert to Islam and change our names.
