Why are you weak tho? 80% of the people in politics na riff raff lass lass. Is it the serious people in school that chase sug president and other roles? Which of course is part of the problem to start with.

In any event how will someone like you make yourself relatable to the electorate? Maybe you will migrate from your blue background fancy cooking pictures to fayose ponmo collage.

But the 20% that are not riff raff can do better na. How person go dey promise beer whiskey to people wey u no do their roads? Ko proper now

That Ogun state , I don’t even know if it’s a curse . Last time it was Kashamu a wanted criminal in America that was contesting against Dapo Abiodun whose Mugshot is on the internet for a fraud case he was arrested for in same America .

I recently listened to Adebutu’s son who is PDP’s flagbearer and I was disappointed mehn. I couldn’t believe the man in the video is from the family of a big man like baba Adebutu. The guy was just not it. He wa sounding like a Yoruba Wike . I just weak

It's normal for Adeleke to say he constructed and completed it. He didnt use started

The same however is on APC/Aregbe and Oyetola for not completing that road.

Una politicians just dey use semantics carry us go where we no know . Started , constructed , completed …. Wahala !

I no dey kuku like stats for Nigeria matter, because it doesn't tell 1% of the true story.

I want Dapo to win again and again. One day, the sufferings will reset their head[/color]

Me I dey pity them for Ogun state sha . Obasanjo their son was president for 8 years and didn’t even influence infrastructural development to the estate (which is not a bad thing sha ) unlike what I observed in the north where northern governors take projects to their home town and local governments because it’s their turn . Now they’ve had unserious governors too…. I wonder what their governors do with all the money they make in that state due to its close proximity to Lagos sef .

Now Dapo is promising these one beers and whiskey when there are enough roads to be built, hospitals that need upgrade , etc ……

GloriousGbola:
My first thought was that it was an Oyetola project.

No way you can immediately get concept, design, review, prequalifcation, tender, review, award mobilisation, construction, and handover of a road in 3 months.

But this is our dancing gomina so expect more of this. Man cannot give what he doesn't have and he wants to form competence.

He is really making a laughing stock of himself because no one on ground is deceived

Though in the larger scheme of things it doesn't matter. This is the continuum governance is supposed to be. I hope it is a proper completion though, not some slapstick job for the cameras

Nurudeen is an unserious person; the black sheep of that particular family . I believe most people who voted for him actually believe Deji will rule the state by proxy kinda sha .

Itsrm:
Road wey dem flag off in 2013 was just completed in 2023. A 10.5km road took 10 years to complete and they had the nerve to celebrate and broadcast the commissioning

Road wey e for just quietly open. Adeleke has no shame.

On this one , I think 90% shame belongs to APC/Aregbe/His predecessor for not completing a job that was commissioned 2013 till 2022 when they left office . 10% shame belongs to Adeleke for lying he constructed and completed the road .

PO says they are challenging the process, most times these lawyers give their own interpretation of what is inside a act when the act is clear and straight forward, that's when you will see them quoting several other sections of the act to boost the other one.

If the election is done 10 times, PO will lose 10 times.

Does challenging the process literally translate to challenging Electronic transmission of result only ? Is electronic transmission the only thing involved in the process ?

If the provision of acts are clear as u claim and lawyers do not need to quote several other sections to back boost the other one; do u think lawyers will have jobs ? Do u think there will be need to even go to court over any matter since the position of the law is always clear ?

iamoyindamola:
It's not sarcasm bro, it's like you have forgotten how many roads aregbe embarked on without finishing them
Even oyetola no touch some and finish some

https://sunnewsonline.com/osun-adeleke-pledges-commitment-to-completion-of-abandoned-osogbo-ikirun-road/?amp=
This is the newly commissioned road, reason am this way can a governor start and finish road in 100 days atleast not in Nigeria

Okay, now I understand. Politicians sha! See how they now made it look like he awarded the contract and had it completed in 100days in office . Smh

larride:
He completed the road, not started it.

Then I guess the poster they put up is misleading that he constructed and completed it in 100 days in office.

My initial guess was that if he did all that in 100 days , then maybe the road is a small one and not a long stretch of road that would’ve taken several months to complete

larride:
Nothing is going to come out of the case because that particular section they are quoted gives INEC the sole right to determine the way they want to collate and transmit result.

Here the screenshot of the Electoral Act section 60 that talks about the collation and transmission of result.

I don’t think they’ve gone to court solely on transmission of results . I do not have the full details of the basis upon which the Labour Party lawayers are challenging the results , but I know it will certainly not be premised on electronic transmission of results only .

With time we will know the full details of it.

Drone17:
Thanks for the analysis. I also think that you are right based on antecedents.

However, I am not one that does things because of what others have done and I believe Peter Obi has a similar mentality. Will the Supreme Court justices also consider what precedence would be set if they violate their own laws and INECs guidelines? How do they answer to the Obidient movement on a case that is justifiable?

They should give sound judgement and declare PO winner. The least they could do is to cancel the elections. Any other decision will set the nation on fire.

This is 2023 not 2007.

I doubt the nation will be set on fire . There might be pocket of violence , but the military will quell it like they’ve done in the history of electoral violence in this past.

Please take ur mind off violence ; Nigeria is not a country worth dying for .

iamoyindamola:
Lmao
Majority of those roads were from aregbe master of starter finisher of none. From Ona baba Onola to ona ton ba gbe Peru, I no believe adeleke start and complete the road

Now I get ur sarcasm

One of my best friends here was discussing with me about what’s currently happening in Lagos and she said I wonder why you people like coming to our Lagos

The only time she ever left Ogun State was to enter airport and Japa… I no talk much, just said na money we come find

Imagine someone that has never paid tax to Lagos state government asking u that has lived , worked and paid ur tax to Lagos state government ; “why are u coming to her Lagos ? “ ….

And she’s now in AU enjoying the good of the land without anybody asking her such question. It’s ironically ironic

Drone17:
This is the part of the INEC Electoral guideline that will give LP victory in their presidential election petition.

Baba, nothing will come out of that election case. I had a discussion with one of my oga's recently and he said Supreme court justices after listening to the facts of the case, they also consider other factors like political stability of the country and the general atmosphere when writing their judgement. If this was not the case, the 2007 election that brought Yar Adua to power would've been nullified simply on the facts of that case.

I found the whole thing head scratching , but it is what it is. look at Imo State election case, the justices obviously didn't weigh much on factors like political stability of the state when declaring Hope Uzodinma governor elect and see what has happened. You will be surprised how the supreme court justices will brush aside this Electoral guideline by INEC like it doesn't really matter.

Read this article below, u will get a better understanding of why most people do not actually have much hope in the whole court process

Acceptance speech by Late Lateef Jakande.
Please read and be blessed🙏

Damn! Jakande is nobody’s mate.

The man knew the problem before he even became the governor , won the election and hit the ground running almost immediately . I like the fact that he was not only truthful about the true state of things but also made it clear his government would carry everyone along, both indigene and non-indigenes; and that he did.

Alot of things that are now topical issues today he already addressed them in his inauguration speech. And posterity has been fair to him cos he didn’t just talk the talk , but also walk the talk .

A001:
Yes, the traditional religions have their bad history as well, but it pales in comparison with the Christian and Muslim gods who have committed genocides.

Anyway, religion has no real importance for people. Ultimately, a religion is the personal philosophy of its founder/god, and he/she is the real beneficiary and the priests and the politicians/rulers, not the common people.

Islam is Allah's personal philosophy; Christianity is Yahweh's personal philosophy; Buddhism is Buddha's personal philosophy; the same applies to the other religions.

These personal ancient philosophies of past beings (or ETs) who people see as God have no use in modern times when a well-read and rational person can design their own personal philosophy based on science and critical thinking without elements of religion.

Well, only a tiny percentage of humans can achieve that feat.

Since I stop being religious during my university days, I've never for once regretted my decision.

I belong to Facebook groups where tons of books are shared about the origins of religions, and I read widely focusing on old books.

When I watch religious people engage in worshipping their fellow humans who are past (gifted) beings as God in religion, I just shake my head and pity their ignorance.

Most people will spend their whole life believing a lie.

Critical thinking, philosophy, and science is the way.

Religion constitutes a huge hindrance to science and the development of our planet.

One thing I think u should understand is that the way u claim leaving religion is a decision u've never regretted, is the same way some religious people claim adopting a religion has been the best decision of their life.

I'm sure u agree most of the religious have evolved from their dark past; I think u should allow those that want to be religious be and those that choose to be irreligious be. There are so many other things to be worried about in this life

A001:
The reasons are many. One, adherents of Christianity and Islam killed millions of early scientists, philosophers, gay and lesbian people, and heretics and burnt libraries.

The Christians burnt the great Hypatia alive for practicing philosophy and science, which they called witchcraft because the Europeans didn't understand science.

European Christians used to see science as witchcraft and killed many early scientists and philosophers based on this pretext.

As a physicist, I'm always wary of this dark history of Abrahamic religions.

Two, Christianity played a key role in the trans-atlantic slave trade and colonization of many African countries. The religion made key contributions to the current poor state of Africa which has been conquered and subjugated by the whites.

Three, the barbaric Sharia laws form the core of Islam. Those are anti-human laws that no right-thinking person should be supporting or practicing.

Sharia is a relic of the primitive human mind.

Four, Allah and Yahweh are toxic gods — vengeful, jealous, and violent, and religious people copy these evil traits, which is why millions have suffered a painful death at the hands of Christians and Muslims for apostasy, heresy, blasphemy, and homosexuality.

Millions have lost their lives because of the Bible and Qur'an.

Five, both religions say unbelievers, hundreds of trillions of them, will be roasted in hell fire.

That's pure evil; a so-called loving god burning his creatures in hell for acting exactly as he designed them and being deceived by Satan, his creature.

This makes absolutely no sense.

There are many more reasons. Christianity and Islam have a dark past characterized by war, colonization, slavery, bloodshed, racism, and genocide, especially Catholicism and Islam.

Those two toxic religions are evil conception of religion. They won't last long with advancement of science and newer generations of humans.

The traditional religions and religions like Buddhism, Taoism, Daoism, Eckankar, scientism are a bit better and more humane without such a dark past.

But hundreds of thousands of twins lost their lives to the killing of twins before Mary Slessor came and stopped it in Nigeria .

Several people have been killed in the name of traditional sacrifices in Africa . Innocent people have been killed by Oro traditionalists in Yoruba land in the past .

No religion is totally saintly if u dig through their history well enough

A001:
With time, I believe those two toxic religions, Christianity and Islam, with dark and barbaric histories will give way to science.

However, most humans can't do without having a religion and will create new religions to replace them, even though religion serves no real purpose for humanity.

Why do u specifically mention Christianity and Islam if I may ask ?

GloriousGbola:
its politics

two can play that game

if you follow us politics there is almost always a group of counter protesters

it was inevitable since the narrative being pushed is that no one his happy BAT won the election.

Issokay.

That means we should expect more and more protest from Pro-Tinubu groups anytime anybody expresses displeasure with any of Tinubu's policies going forward.

Na APC candidate INEC declare winner of election, na still APC supporters dey protest 🤦‍♂️

Wahala just dey dis country

ShaqFu:
so una see. And you have a job oh. Now one worthless and useless mofo will start saying people leave Nigeria because of Buhari's failure, not knowing people have been leaving Nigeria since the early seventies...

Anybody that is stagnating his own progress because of the hope one candidate will change the country to the level of what obtains abroad is doing himself more harm than good.

A001:
Even if you leave, your relatives will still be in Nigeria. That's why many that plan to japa also supported a better candidate than BAT and Atiku.

Those abroad too have families here who will suffer or enjoy Tinubu’s presidency whatever the case may be . Most of them know the serious mental stress they are going through trying to arrange cash for their relatives all through this Buhari-Emefiele naira redesign palava na.

What I’m saying is , the guy in the screenshot u shared shouldn’t be rejoicing cos a Tinubu supporter will be getting deported simply cos he supported Tinubu . Whether Tinubu or Obi or Atiku or the red cap fraud of Kano supporter , most Nigerians will want to go abroad to enjoy good standard of living and stay there indefinitely if possible

Emmynator:
I don't really see how it's hypocrisy. US is far better than Nigeria.
Are you telling me that Obidients would happily be deported from US if Obi had won the election? No one will be foolish enough to come back to Nigeria because one candidate won elections, the same goes for abroadians who aligned with either BAT or Obi.

Funny enough , even me wey vote Peter Obi get plans to leave this country and go abroad cos I don’t believe in the future of this contraption called Nigeria .

”I did not steal anybody’s money and I am challenging those who governed Kaduna to come out and swear that they ‘ve never stolen money, they should swear that they’ve not taken a kobo from Kaduna State. “

“Wallahi, l am ready to swear. I am challenging them ( former Governors) to come out,face the people of Kaduna State and swear that they’ve never stolen the people’s money.” — El Rufai

The were know say curses, like prayers, are useless. If curses dey work, all Nigerian politicians for don die or suffer mysterious sickness from the huge number of curses millions of Nigerians rain on them daily.

But curses and prayers are mere wishes that most often don't come to pass.

If you like swear in the name of the Arab god Allah or the Israelite god Yahweh or the Yoruba god Olohun or any of those two books (the Bible and Qur'an) wey no carry any intrinsic value or power, it's all useless.

Na u dey take El Rufai serious na. This was how Obasanjo described him in his book:

[b]“A leader must know the character and ability of his subordinates. Character wise, Nasir has not much going for him. But he is a talented young man who can always deliver under close supervision. So, when Osita Chidoka approached, among others, propping Nasir as my possible successor, believing that whoever I supported would make it, which was a false belief; I did not hesitate to point to Nasir’s naivety and immaturity, talk less of his inability to give honour to whom honour is due.

My vivid recollection of him is penchant for lying, for unfair embellishment of stories and his inability to sustain loyalty for long. Two years after I had left office, Osita came to me to confirm how right I was on my assessment and judgement of Nasir. I knew what I could make him to achieve and he achieved it for my administration and for the country. I believe that he can still be used in public service but under guidance and sufficient oversight, making allowance for the psychology of “his petit size and his elephantine brain.” He was described as a malicious liar. He was more than that; he is a pathological purveyor of untruths and half-truths with little or no regard for integrity. In all of this, he unwittingly does more harm than good to himself”

“Nasir’s penchant for reputation savaging is almost pathological. Why does he do it? I recognised his weaknesses; the worst being his inability to be loyal to anybody or any issue consistently for long, but only to Nasir el-Rufai. He barefacedly lied which he did to me against his colleagues and so-called friends. I have heard of how he ruthlessly savaged the reputation of his uncle, a man who was like, in the African setting, his foster father. I shuddered when I heard the story of what he did to his half-brother in the Air Force who is senior to him in age.”[/b]
