Your MD don dey twist history for head.

Akintola and Awolowo beef is all about control of the Western Region.

Awolowo left his post as Premier of the western region to contest for Prime Minister, he lost while Akintola became premier of the western union. Awolowo became leader of the opposition in the parliament while also remaining the leader of the Action Group and Akintola the deputy. This is where the problem started from.

Akintola as Premier wanted AG to join the coalition government as he believe the Yorubas are losing the influence because of the refusal to join the coalition govt even after NCNC (Igbo dominated) joined.

Akintola wanted an alliance with the Northerners while Awolowo doesn't. Akintola was also against the democratic socialism that Awolowo is known for preferring the conservative approach.

Akintola sha started removing all Awolowo loyalist from govt and replacing them with his own loyalist and that's what led to operation wettie.

I don't know why those baba's dey distort facts.

I think they need to resume teaching history in schools now.

I know the story wella, I've been reading about Nigeria's history from a young age. The fight between Awolowo and Akintola was majorly about supremacy/who controls the party and by extension Western region.

Omo my MD is splitting fire he's angry some of us ain't voting tinubu, he say he's waiting for us next week
He doesn't like igbo at all but he said something i agree with igbo are not accommodating this is 100% undiluted true
I am a victim in this but i can't use this to judge the tribe

Raumdeuter my oga gisted us about your ancestor, He said akintola was greedy and stupid that was why he was easily killed
His fight with awolowo was because of the igbo( now i see where the tribalism is coming from)

But Akintola and Awolowo fight had nothing to do with Igbo now. Why all those baba's dey twist history?

How do you think Inec transport election material in all other election?

INEC make use of each state transportation union mostly NURTW for their logistics.

It's like most of you are just voting for the first time.

I think the reason why most people are against MC Oluomo transporting sensitive materials for this election is because he's a person of interest in this election.

The link below is MC Oluomo joining 5 million march for Tinubu. I don't think it's morally right to still allow him go ahead with the logistics considering he's not minced words to state that he will deliver in this election for Tinubu. I have no problem with him and his union being in charge of logistics beyond that

Chatgpt was asked about Obi's achievements... Here you go.

Part 1

I thought they say this man didn't do anything na; say he only save money for bank.

Emaprince:
Bro many if the people burning banks had no dime in the bank.

Hoodlums are already hijacking the protest with the intention to steal 8f possible

They are just embarking on wanton destruction of properties that will not yield any positive response from the authorities; instead some of them will get shot at, some will die and those who survive will face difficulties to access cash in their community going forward.

chrisooblog:
It's a normal thing that's been happening since the last few elections. It's not a novel occurrence.

Trust you're geared up for Saturday. Don't forget to register on the INEC results portal so you can cross check results uploaded on the portal to what happened in your polling unit.

Well, that was what I found out when I digged online to make a comparison between the 2019 and 2023 elections timetable .

These people still burning banks, they will learn a lesson. By the time they travel long distance to make use of banks when all of this is over, they will understand.

Diabolical schemes come in different modes. Ona kan o woja. As long as you consider that massive troop deployment might be good and might be bad depending on how the cookie crumbles.

Alright, I get u.

afrodoc2:
Don’t rule out the possibility that this deployment is part of a grand diabolical scheme.

What diabolical scheme are we talking about here ? That military will want to take over ?

According to the INEC timetable , campaigns are to stop 24 hours to a day before the election ( As provided by the electoral act 2022) . That means campaign for the presidential elections will end 23rd February 2023.

I guess this explains why all political parties are still doing campaign till now (unlike what we had in the past )

I support the deployment of soldiers for the elections and hope they will help maintain law and order by reducing electoral violence to the barest minimum .

Incidents such as politicians sending thugs loyal to them to disrupt elections in areas where they know they will not get bloc votes (as it happened in 2019 elections) should not be allowed to happen this election.

I don’t know if people deliberately lie to themselves or they just like to write make-me-feel-good posts here and there to make them sound woke when in fact they are empty .

When u see someone tell u voters in some parts of the country are illiterates and do not know the difference between senatorial ballot, house of reps ballot and the presidential ballot (cos they are unlettered) , just know such people have never really participated in an election process .

In 2015 I was a presiding officer in one of the northern states and during training one of the most important things we were told is to ensure the voters are properly educated before the commencement of accreditation and to repeat same before voting commences . We should be fair to all parties , be seen as impartial and the people will take whatever results comes out of the polls.

There are 3 ballot boxes that will be displayed at the polling booth with 3 different colors for the purpose of easy identification. I can’t remember the colors for each election now but I know we had black , green and red; each representing a particular elective post.

As the presiding officer it was my duty to address the electorate in the morning about the modalities of the election, let them know the ballot papers will come in the three aforementioned colors and that they should place each ballot paper in the box that has the same color as the ballot paper. My polling unit is a double polling unit and I addressed both units in English/Pidgin/join and cut Hausa with the aid of my assistant pressing officers who are indigenes and interpreted everything I said in clear hausa to the electorate.

At the end of the day in my polling unit Buhari of APC won the presidential election by a landslide , the PDP guy won the senatorial election , while the APC house of reps candidates won his own election. It wasn’t rocket science , the people had things explained to them and they voted their choice as they do please.

Izzou Shey u dey see my GOAT 🐐?

izzou:
[color=royalblue]If that car is 600k, how much go come be Ferrari or Lambo 2023?

2023 Escalde Armoured for 600k?[/color]

I no too know price of cars , but I know luxury vehicles attract 70% of its value as import duties .

izzou:
[color=royalblue]400k for wetin?

That SUV no go pass 120k.[/color]

That’s the entry price u are talking about for the non amoured one. And also remember the clearing fee for luxury vehicles is 70% of the the original cost .

afrodoc2:
Awwww. The people love their governor.

The love is organic ! The people have spoken with one voice .

The people of Kogi state coughed out whopping $600,000.00 to buy this 2023 Escalade bullet proof vehicle for Yahaya Bello in the midst of cash crunch and widespread poverty .

monerozi5590:
Southern President==13 years.

Northern President===11 years.

Is going to the south again but North is the problem Tribalistic, fanatics, illiterate, ragtag, choosing the president bla bla bla.

Not like I want a part of u guys conversation of north vs south o, but I just think it’s important u know that Nigeria is 63 years old and not 23 years old .

U using 23 years data to counter his claim of north dominating south as far as the head of the nation’s government is concerned does not really cut it. I believe u should go back to 1960 and calculate the number of northern and southern presidents/head of state till date .

Happy Sunday

Itsrm:
Lmao, this is your evidence? Let's see what's in the link you posted.



I would have expected to see "we will" and "our choice" to buttress your point.

Let's read further



What source?

When you have an actual evidence and not this peice of junk journalism, let us know.

Okay , read this one with ur guy using plural first person pronoun “WE”.

He didn’t stop there, with his mouth he claimed he will personally tour the whole country with the announced presidential candidate to campaign for him. Guess what he did ? He has failed on all fronts as far as his promises in the below article is concerned .

Wike lule at the primaries as against ur prediction, now he’s on his way to political oblivion and is pleading with his people to save his political career by voting for the candidate he has refused to name with his full chest.

Itsrm:
Except that you didn't answer the question

Do you have any evidence of them saying they are endorsing a single candidate or you got it from PDPs propaganda media houses.

The G5 governors are united in their lack of support for Atiku. As long as Atiku doesn't win, the goal has been achieved.

Simple as ABC

If u read this link and can’t find answer to ur question, then I can’t help u further https://dailytrust.com/january-vow-wike-led-g5-fails-to-name-presidential-candidate

seankafor:
he has said rivers won't vote someone that won't kill him when he wins

I'm sensing some atom of fear in him..

Atiku really followed him with sense and wisdom

Wike is a coward

A very big coward! All talk and no action to back it up

Itsrm:
Atiku will have to win against their support before you can say they failed

Do you have any evidence for the bolded?

Which kind talk needs this ? When they were forming alliance and threatening to name a consensus candidate did they put a caveat on it that Atiku must must win against their candidate before they anybody can say they failed ?

See the kind excuse wey u invent on behalf of Wike 🤣

Wait a minute , do u know Buhari scored Less than 5% of the total votes cast in Rivers state in the 2015 presidential election ? Yet Amaechi who boldly decamped to APC was regarded as more influential in the victory of Buhari nationwide ?

All these excuse u are giving doesn’t hold water . Amaechi was wasn’t a coward that Wike is today; he knew APC wasn’t sellable in Rivers state but still supported Buhari’s APC with full chest, not all these chest beating ur man Wike is doing .

This is why I call him a neophyte and coward

Itsrm:
Na so you post Ayus lies the other day that Ikpeazu has broken away and has now joined their camp.

How market today? The man is still quoted as saying that the fight is beyond the 2023 elections. So much for someone who has joined their camp.

The Ugwuanyi they said has chosen to now support Atiku did not even attend their rally. Cross Rivers nko, what happened when PDP went there to campaign? What of Ekiti?

Whether Ortom supports Obi or not is besides the point. The koko is that they are all united in their lack of support for Atiku.

There is no amount of lies from Ayu or PDP propaganda media arm that will change that fact.

None of these things u've posted has negated the fact that Wike and his G-5 project failed woefully.

Wike has been revealed to be a political neophyte who led his fellow green horns astray. He's been grandstanding and making promises he couldn't keep. Till now he's unable to name his presidential candidate as promised.

They claim they will name one single candidate they will support but today we see Ortom supporting Obi with fill chest while Wike still dey zuzu. He even begged his people to please vote the candidate he will name to save his political career. That's what political neophyte do bro.

BlueRayDick:
So as it stands all the G-5 but Wike are in a precarious situation as far as endorsement of presidential candidate other than Mikano man; Atiku is concerned.

1. The Enugu state governor has is the PDP senatorial candidate in his constituency. If he endorses anybody other than Atiku, the party can expel him and then write INEC that they do not have a flagbearer in the race for the seat.

2. The Benue state governor has is the PDP senatorial candidate in his constituency. If he endorses anybody other than Atiku, the party can expel him and then write INEC that they do not have a flagbearer in the race for the seat.

3. The Abia state governor has is the PDP senatorial candidate in his constituency. If he endorses anybody other than Atiku, the party can expel him and then write INEC that they do not have a flagbearer in the race for the seat.

4. The Oyo state governor is going for a second term in office as a PDP flagbearer . If he endorses anybody other than Atiku, the party can expel him and then write INEC that they do not have a flagbearer in the race for the seat.

PS: All these will only play out if Atiku's money is as "long" as we've been told in the past and long enough to tempt their respective ward chairmen to initiate their expulsion from the party. (We all know the role Oshiomole's ward chairman played in him losing out as the party's chairman)

In all of these I think the G-5 governors are dumb and are no way as influential as the 7 governors of PDP that defected to APC prior to the 2015 elections. Each and everyone of the G-5 governors are neophyes compared to dem Amaechi, Saraki set.

WIKE; The man whose mouth works faster than his brain don carry them go where dem no know
