Interesting. I completely missed this

Also You are right - i no dey do til tok.

That TikTok ehn... The kind content wey dey there ehn.

Some people will say TikTok sweet pass University

At a point in the last one to two month, I come dey wonder if I never turn agbero finish myself. The algorithm just keeps pushing NURTW contents to my FYP.

izzou:
[color=royalblue]Wow

You really do keep up with their matter.

I have been seeing that Sego posters since i came back to Lagos.[/color]

They call him Ajagungbade

The Sego guy worked with him as part of the state exco, but they just feel MC's turn is over. They are pissed he keeps all the nollywood actresses to himself and he goes about doing philantropy with "union money "

GloriousGbola:
If Tinubu dies the person best positioned to take ovet lagos is Mc oluomo. He has the machinery in his pocket. Nothing gbaja, Seyi or any one else will be able to tell him.

Which MC Oluomo? The same one that is now an orphan in NURTW Lagos ?

Eeez like u people have not been following the news of late in the social media space; particularly TikTok.

The gist is MC Oluomo miscalculated by taking a shot at NURTW president seat; instead of trying to cement his seat for second term he gambled with the idea of running for NURTW leadership at the national level. Most of the Lagos Branch chairmen saw it as an opportunity for them to have him replaced with Tafa Sego who he had mentioned in the past that he will handover to once he's done with his term as NURTW Lagos chairman.

So over the past 2 months all the branch chairmen have been mounting pressure for MC to step aside and handover to Tafa Sego peacefully. They kept on making different videos subtly suggesting violence may erupt if MC remains. Chief of them was Istijabah who heads the Tricycle union.

Long and short , they secured interim victory when Sanwoolu invited Sego and MC for meeting at the end of which MC announced on camera that Sego is the incoming Lagos state chairman while he now has govt backing to move to Abuja. Immediately after that day, most of the transporters have replaced MC's sticker with Sego's sticker on their buses and in parks.

In fact, MC's right hand man Koko zaria has jumped ship and now with Sego. The branch chairmen didn't stop there, they kept making videos of how MC didn't do anything for the union other than marrying wives and sending his children abroad while he kept levying them. They even warned against Lagos state govt backtracking at the die minute to ask MC to come back to Lagos.

Now word on the street is those that will go as delegate from Lagos to vote at the national level of NURTW are even threatening not to vote MC.

Shey na person wey wan become governor be that for Lagos ?

TrebleChamp:
This is true, some very powerful Lagos politician may be patiently waiting for Tinubu to die to take hold of the State.

There are quite a handful of them that have battled Tinubu in the past in this same Lagos. Some of them are AD/AC/ACN members who were at loggerheads with Tinubu at some point but had to crawl back to Tinubu's feet due to the financial muscle power Tinubu wielded.

With Tinubu out of the picture, those guys will come out with full force to pursue their own agenda o.

People like Muiz Banire, Fuad Oki and the rest of them will not look on and watch Seyi rule Lagos after his father don hold the state for blokos for too long.

Theflint1:
Sound morals over "intelligence" anyday.

People don't care about morals in this country; that's why Ganduje is APC chairman and u have pastors and Islamic clerics being card carrying members of the party.

Ellexy:
But why are these people like this. Don't they have conscience?

Tosin na agabdo guy running PR for APC . He used to be on nairaland music section back in the days .

The things APC does to brilliant young chaps ehn... 🤐

TrebleChamp:
Seyi go rule Lagos as Governor someday. He may not contest in the next general election, but i believe he will be Governor of Lagos someday. Unless he personally doesn't fancy politic or being Governor...

Seyi will only rule if Tinubu the father stays alive as long as possible .

U see all those indigenous Lagosians flocking around Tinubu patiently waiting for a Lagosian's turn to rule Lagos ? They will swallow Seyi's money and back one of their own.

On further reflection, Roland17 u were spot on yesterday calling out the hypocrisy of the Sultan and the entire North . Peter Obi made a tweet the other time about the poverty in the north and his plans to lift them & the country out of poverty;

“committed to lifting people out of poverty and I remain committed to transforming Nigeria starting from the North to every part of the nation.” .

Northerners and southern APC members went on rampage online calling him all sorts of name; even when we showed them stats to back things up that Obi saying the north was poor and needed pulling out of poverty was fact ; they turned deaf ear claiming the north wasn't poor as Obi alleged. Bashir Ahmad wey dey chop sara money as social media SA under Buhari dey chat shiit and our southern brothers here dey pander to his yeye rhetorics.

Now it took all of them 8 years to agree Buhari was a disaster. Smh

BlueRayDick:
1. Tinubu is an embodiment of corruption.
2. Tinubu is nepotic and doesn't believe in merit. Nepotism is one of the ills that brought us to this point as a people.
3. Tinubu legitimize hooliganism in Lagos State. Some may argue that this is not as bad as it seems considering how it has reduced crime, but until you have an encounter with these guys being a law to themselves u will understand the danger it portends for our future.
4. Tinubu is physically sick. No one needs to remind you of how voting a sick Yar Adua ended for us neither does anyone needs to tell you how Buhari's constant attention to his health has affected Nigeria as a nation.
5. Tinubu is one of the major actors that sold the bad product called buhari to all Nigerians. His sense of judgement should never be trusted going forward

These are but few reasons why reasonable people are actually wishing Tinubu does not become Nigeria president come 2023.

Na here we dey!

Since Seyi Tinubu already operates in the advertising media space, maybe Tinubu should kukuma sack the ARCON boss and appoint Seyi instead , abi? Because we already know APC support group will bring defense of competency to explain away nepotism

Literally : if u snooze , u lose ! U go still carry injury go house sef on top say u no see yam collect .

Wrong thread

Segedinho:
Can anyone verify this?

This is not war time, This is happening in Tinubu's Lagos. A truck load of yam was looted by hungry Lagosians.

There's RENEWED HUNGER in the land, I couldn't believe a time like this will ever come in my life time.

Election has consequences 📌

The truck of yam was not looted ; what happened was that the central mosque of Lagos Island ( moshalashi Jimoh ) bought a truckload of Yam to be shared to faithfuls to cushion the effect of hardship in the land .

Somehow people are not patient enough to decide to know whether it will get to their turn before the truckload finish , so as typical Nigerians it became a free-for-all. Everybody wan grab a tuber or two before everything finish 🤦‍♂️

The long and short of it is that serious hunger dey the land.

Ibime:
I think you are right on the oil security part, Jonathan would have been able to settle the boys, however I have a good suspicion that disaffected PDP people in Niger Delta started the oil theft as soon as they left Government. This suspicion occasioned by the immediate arrival of soot in Rivers State as soon as power changed hands and Wike entered. There was no soot in Amaechi time. The change of power changed the fabric of how oil was stolen and who by

Buhari major sin is continuation of his misguided capital projects even after the shale oil crash and the COVID oil crash. Those finished Nigeria. Ontop the fact they were not bringing in Forex due to the price and volume crash, CBN was using what little reserves we had as collateral for Buhari borrowing for capital projects. That's why our foreign reserves is non existent and incapable of defending the Naira. Buhari was a major disaster.

I thought APC support group said it was Jonathan that ruined this country by depleting our foreign reserves.

So the frugal and competent Buhari succeeded in making a rotten situation worse . Only God knows what Tinubu is doing to the already worse situation because this one that even Tinubu supporters 8 months ago are cussing him out now..... this first 4 years go long pass January wey person broke o

Incognito9:
Monerozi5590 😆😆

Just wait for him to come and tell u " Buhari is the president that invested the most in Infrastructure and security , therefore Buhari is not a disaster "

GloriousGbola:
You're probably right about that. I remeber calling our company security one Friday when I had a run in with police and their first question was oga have you been drinking? Apparently a lot of guys would get hammered, get in trouble and then call our security guys to engage the police

There is also a lot of drinking on construction site to 'warm body' which is another fking problem safety wise.

Even the police themselves ! Go to Hotel Campbell on Campbell street , Lagos Island . The hotel is beside the infamous police area A command headquarters popularly known as " Lion building "

You will see police men in broad daylight drinking and smoking with AK-47 rifles in their laps . Once they are high enough , they pick up their rifles , enter their patrol van to go for raids & stop and search duty all over Lagos island & environs .

Just imagine say u enter their hand in that state .

GloriousGbola:
That is why I wrote thw bolded. At least I Will see the bottle and make my choices. Unlike sachet which is stealth drinking. The guy may as well be taking swigs from a bottle while on the wheel if he has sachet alcohol.

At least with the bottle in your view you can make an informed decision.

Lolz

U are clearly a teetotaler; u don't know the ways of people who drink . Drink wey dem go don shayo while their bus is loading . Dem go just carry red eye come drive u.

Even marijuana that is banned in Nigeria ; these same drivers smoke it to their desirable level before proceeding to handle steering .

All I'm saying is that the ban will achieve little or no result .

Segedinho:
The next phase will be to ban alcohol ..Las las we go end up in sharia..



Anything to back bubu.....even if you sound stupid.....

Na to dey drive go Cotonou go drink every weekend . 🚘

GloriousGbola:
unpopular opinion - i am actually for banning of sachet alcohol because imho commercial drivers are their main customers. would you comfortably enter a vehicle with a driver holding a bottle of chelsea gin?



this nigeria where governors regularly jail bloggers?

Before sachet alcohol became a thing , commercial bus drivers have been driving under the influence of alcohol. Agbo sellers in parks sell paraga and agbo that are all alcohol which drivers buy to drink in small cups .

If the aim of the ban is to stop DUI , then the ban will not achieve any success at all. Drivers will just buy big Schnapps bottle and sip small small instead of drinking the smaller sachet

CrystalTiger:
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Adeboye's hands are tied . Many pastors in RCCG are card carrying members of APC ; Pastor Yemi Osinbajo , Pastor Remi Tinubu , Pastor Dayo Israel , etc to mention a few.

Shey u get ?

Omo!

Some people no send " Do not speak ill of the dead " o

izzou:
[color=royalblue]I remember Segedinho bringing this up with Shaytun sometime ago.

He was saying the increase in FAAC will not make any difference because of the dollar rate, but Shaytun mark am like Aina.[/color]

I remember that discussion; I nearly got migraine reading from that discussion.

liveLongNprospa:
When we are done with this argument, we will return back to calling you tinubu supporters evil sha.

Atleast the smiley one has benefited.
I hope he carried the other one who is a party member along. 😁

Na wetin concern me in everything be that.

[color=royalblue]I just felt he was shortchanging Unlimited

Nihilist is who u call "esu taposi" .

He has no dog in the fight, he just want vawulence between different parties and from the look of things he has succeeded

izzou:
[color=royalblue]Don't you think you are changing the goal posts in relation to his comment?

He listed the name of the candidates, even when an Igbo was not voted. You cancelled it and put PDP.

But Obi and PDP was available during the last election. Why did they not vote for PDP, as you have proven?[/color]

Nihilist is only playing Devil's advocate. He wan whine unlimited , but na u dey enter the whining

Unlimited22:
Y'all are the real MVPs, man


You Yoruba guys who took insults from your own tribesmen and even strays from others (yes, I admit it) just because you wouldn't bow to the ridiculous idea that Tinubu was some sort of esoteric God who had prepared for Nigeria since when he was in his mother's womb like the prophet Jeremiah.

Iamoyindamola/Sod09 is another person I deeply respect, particularly because he's Muslim.

Igbos voted OBJ twice (even over Ojukwu), Yaradua (over Okadigbo who was Buhari running mate then), GEJ and Atiku. When e reach Obi turn them say we dey tribalistic.

Omo! I legit lost respect for a lot of people I know personally ; people I thought are educated and exposed enough to have grown above tribal hate . In fact I had to mute some people's WhatsApp status cos of the things I dey read therein dey turn my belle.

I knew who Tinubu was and I know he's definitely not what Nigeria needs at the time we just survived 8 years of Buhari's misrule . The people I know who supported Tinubu without calling me "omo ale " that I discussed his candidacy with; none of them was able to convince me Tinubu with his many bag and luggages is the right person Nigeria needs.

You are right that his supporters tried to make out a god-like image of Tinubu with propaganda but some of us just didn't buy it. I was just not going to ignore all the red flags and make a decision I will regret in the next one year .

He say Tinubu na visionary leader and at the same time na Guardiola

*In DonJ's voice* Wicked Abroadian!

ribbit:
If not sentiment, how will someone see tinubu with proven track record on a ballot and vote obi whom you need google to see his achievement.

It's like having the opportunity to have Guadriola as your manager but you started clamouring for Marcelo bielsa.

Yeah tinubu is a thief, but peter obi is a saint that never stole. That's how they fell into buhari's trap the second time and that one is now pardoning convicted criminals.

Tinubu is your last chance in that country, if you guys failed to vote for right candidate in 2023, well..

I have said my own.

BlueRayDick:
1. Tinubu is an embodiment of corruption.
2. Tinubu is nepotic and doesn't believe in merit. Nepotism is one of the ills that brought us to this point as a people.
3. Tinubu legitimize hooliganism in Lagos State. Some may argue that this is not as bad as it seems considering how it has reduced crime, but until you have an encounter with these guys being a law to themselves u will understand the danger it portends for our future.
4. Tinubu is physically sick. No one needs to remind you of how voting a sick Yar Adua ended for us neither does anyone needs to tell you how Buhari's constant attention to his health has affected Nigeria as a nation.
5. Tinubu is one of the major actors that sold the bad product called buhari to all Nigerians. His sense of judgement should never be trusted going forward

These are but few reasons why reasonable people are actually wishing Tinubu does not become Nigeria president come 2023.

ribbit:
1. Corruption that made Lagos 5th largest economy in Africa? Sign me up please.

2. Wrong. 90% of people who have worked with tinubu are not even related to him. Check the list of his commissioner to his politicial appointees. How many of them are related to him?
Nepotism is not your problem by the way. Your problem is lack of visionary leader with analog brain. You can put your son in position of power if he is competent. But that is not always the case with majority of your politicians. That's why no other state has come close to Lagos in every index.


3.The hooligasim that made Lagos one of the safest metropolitan city in the world? Again sign me up please.

Even your state without legitimate holigans, should we talk about the security there?
The danger that didn't show face in the last 20 years. But your state that didn't legitimize hooliganism is either battling with unknown gunmen or bandits because the hooligans there have nothing else to do.
Their governors have abandoned them.




4.And the physically healthy person you elected cannot fall sick or be diagnosed with awful illness after you elected him/her right?

5.Tinubu sold his party. And that's Same way the likes obi sold us pdp presidents or tried to sell corrupt atiku in 2019.


Any reasonable person will see tinubu is still the best among the rest.

But ofcos I don't expect sentimental people to see that.

Like I said, a word is enough for the wise.

In the Spirit of ThrowBack Thursday.

I just even noticed now that the guy actually thought I was Igbo when he was using words like "You can put your son in power if he is competent" , ".....your state that didn't legitimize hooliganism is either battling with unknown gunmen or bandits" Lmao

izzou:
[color=royalblue]If Tinubu was drilled as the other candidates, I am sure some educated people would have slept at home that day, instead of voting.

Ask questions...Mba

They said we should use Lagos as his debate answers...

I go really vex if those Northerners are allowed to protest. Na dem give Tinubu him victory.

Even the Yorubas had doubts on his tenure (from the results); either they didn't believe in him, or they were tired of APC at the National level.

If you protests, Nga straight.[/color]

Dem say Trump no do debate so therefore Tinubu no need debate.

Make I even go look for that response they gave to my lengthy wailing on why Tinubu should not be voted for.
