[color=royalblue]You are still agreeing with me.

Ortom currently has the structure of the PDP in Benue

If PDP expels him, he decamps to any other party, with that structure.

So how does PDP hope to win anything in Benue again?[/color]

But u are forgetting one thing; If he's expelled today, he can't become another party's flagbearer with less than 2 months to elections.

izzou:
[color=royalblue]Ikpeazu, Ortom and Ugwuanyi have their party's political structure in their states respectively

PDP tends to lose more if they expel anybody.

All it will take is for them to delay their ambitioons for 4 years, but PDP will be finished in their respective states forever.

They will decamp, take the structure with them, and PDP will be irrelevant. [/color]

I don't know about politics in Ikpeazu and Ugwuanyi's states, but I know The Rev Father in Benue is breathing down on Ortom's neck based on freelers I'm getting from people I know residing in the state. Ortom's continued moaning about Buhari without doing much to transform the life of his people is definitely not in his favor as well.

izzou:
[color=royalblue]I don't think anybody can withdraw at this point. Even the new LP Campaign DG could not withdraw his senatorial ticket from ZLP.

3 of the G-5 are occupying states that have an appeal for Obi. So if they support anybody other than Atiku, the people will still be at peace

It is only Seyi's own that looks dicey to me. If he supports BAT, and BAT wins, i feel it could affect him the next Saturday.

The plan is still going on fine[/color]

You can't withdraw but ur party can expel u with a court order given in their favour. It's clearly stated in INEC's position in response to query about Osuntokun's status. It's a threat that can make some of them consider their actions at this point.

Itsrm:
Yes. It means he has people who influences judgments in his favour. Going to the court against him is almost a guaranteed loss. He hardly loses court cases. The current CJN has even been caught on video saying he's in support of the G5. Good luck to the PDP.

The G5 will support another candidate not named Atiku and heaven will not fall

LOL

The same way u projected Wike winner of PDP presidential primaries because some delegates were putting on Wike 2023 campaign fez caps.

Itsrm:
Waste of time. You think Wike does not know this already? You will hardly win him in a court case. Person wey dey win court cases against the Federal Government. He is a lawyer, surrounded by lawyers from head to toe. I wish PDP goodluck. They will need lots of it.

WTF is this ? Being a lawyer and being surrounded by lawyers means u will a court case? Lmao

Itsrm:
You have been following PDPs propaganda media outlets

Read from INEC

You think whoever want's to substitute a candidate will write to INEC alone and not go to court and get court order?

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.

@Amoto94 The prince called what happened yesterday in Kogi a “bomb attack “ and further calls it a “cowardly attack “ .

raumdeuter:
This is not correct. It was thrown to him that the alleged kidnappers who have not been caught are Fulani herdsmen.




What is wrong in the statement made by Tinubu when arrests have not been made? Do you expect him to join in shouting herdsmen when no arrest has been made?

That was delibrate to trigger u and make u see the absurdity of continually blaming a man who left office almost a decade ago for the insecurity in the state he ruled .

If u would not see how unreasonable it is , then u shouldn’t see it as unreasonable for others to call Tinubu out for refusing to call a spade a spade when it mattered most .

Maybe u are so far away from Nigeria to know Lai Muhammed had censored the media and made it almost impossible for newsmen to report “Fulani herdsmen attacks “ as what they are , but call it kidnapping , armed robbery and banditary .

EmmanuelScott1:
Oga you drop obi's response, can you drop tinubu, kwankwaso and atiku response?

When will tinubu codemn the attack that's going on in Ondo state?

I think this first pix is what u should be showing him; Tinubu only condemns when he feels like . He practically asked on live interview “where are the cows ?” when he was expected to condemn the killings irrespective of the tribe of those involved .

Below is a picture of the Faluni herdsmen who were later convicted by the court. I guess nobody is asking about the cows anymore .

Donjazet2:
I used the word "interesting" to describe that article because I think the OP made some good points and then some terrible points. I mean he lost me on the part about religion but overall he did make some solid points.

I think the heading of his post did no justice to the body of his article. The funny thing is that the bulk of his post wasn't even necessarily talking about immigration and it's dangers but rather our individual roles on nation building.
Look at this excerpt for example which I concur with.



So you can see, this part centers on individualism. On how or what we can do to make the country better.

Take for example this, we all know ethnic jingoism and radical tribalism is bad, we know that this country has undergone a deadly war because of ethnic differences. Differences we are all supposed to outgrow. But worse still we have leaders drawn from us who make decisions based on tribal affiliations.

I'm sure that if me and you knew ourselves offline we would get along fine regardless of our tribal affliction. But now imagine a scenario where we both leave the country because of how bad it is, yet we keep on championing ethnic rifts and differences. We decide to keep being part of the problem.

So again, my interpretation of the OP's post was based on our individual efforts to see a better country not even the successes or failures of immigration. I think the caption and heading of the writers post did no justice to his post.

The online championing of ethnic jingoism is a farce . Most people u see online doing afonja, flat head , nyamiri and all those stuff are normal people offline who probably don’t have issues getting along with their neighbors who are from other tribes . Some people Yorubas u see calling Igbos flat head are even married to Igbos in real life .

On the internet people tend to become anyting they want ; that’s why one should not take most of the things that happen online to heart.

As regards our individual roles in nation building , I don’t see any point the op is trying to make . He can only speak for himself and not for everyone . He claims we don’t obey traffic rules here in naija but will do same abroad (among other things ) . How do u expect a citizen to obey traffic when some bloody Army seargent will carry his Toyota Corolla ; face one-way/BRT lane because he’s on uniform and nobody dares arrest him ? Does the same thing happen in the UK , US, Canada, etc ? U expect the people to subject themselves to the law while law enforcement agents would not make good examples ? We all saw videos of Ukrainians even during war time maintaining a single lane despite traffic . Will anybody wearing uniform or political office holder in naija join such traffic ?

Donjazet2:
Very interesting thread on the front page.

https://www.nairaland.com/7500932/japa-propaganda-mindset-nigerian-youths

Nothing new has been said on the thread; the op is just one of the various people who assume they know but actually do not. I say he thinks he knows but he doesn't because he's generalizing based on the little he knows; probably he has seen those who "Japa" with no solid plan and how they've been stranded.

What he doesn't know is there are several other Nigerians who "Japa" and doing comfortably well abroad compared to what they had in naija. Personally I know at least 10 people(professionals) who have crossed to Canada, UK and Australia in the past 4 years and they are doing very very well. U just need to go to LinkedIn and see Nigerian professionals getting good placement in places like Canada.

The op on that thread believes everybody must stay to save Nigeria they did not join hands to spoil. He acknowledges things are very very bad under Buhari's government( He even admits we've not had it this bad since Nigeria was forged into one contraption called country) , yet he wants everybody to stay put and salvage a nation where forensic audits keep indicting public officers and nothing is being done. Recently EFCC was celebrating recovering N30bn out of over 90 billion stolen by the Accountant-General. That is the country the OP wants us to join hands , stay put and save. smh . A country where people like Orji Uzor Kalu keeps walking as a free man. Peter Odili literally went to court and got "perpetual injuction" stopping all security agencies including EFCC from ever investigating his time as governor. How do u abandon ur personal goals and say u want to stay back and save such a country ?

I must say, anybody thinking like that OP is just an idealistic FOOOOL! Bolanle Raheem the late female lawyer had her live cut off in her prime doing her bit as a law abiding citizen; yet the OP thinks we should all stay back and "fight for our country"

PENDU don suffer for this life no be small

I'm yet to ascertain the cause of the explosion as another report claimed it's from an overloaded transformer.

https://leadership.ng/breaking-explosion-kills-3-in-kogi/

Different conflicting reports. I guess we will have to wait for the police/DSS to give the official account of what happened exactly.

[b]According to an eyewitness, "a car with explosives was driven into the palace this morning and shortly after, the car exploded.”

The source said the identity of the driver could not yet be ascertained.

Although SaharaReporters could not independently ascertain the circumstances surrounding the bomb blast, sources claimed that it might be connected with the refusal of the monarch to accept the new palace reportedly built for him by Governor Yahaya Bello.

According to one of the sources, "President Muhammadu Buhari is visiting Kogi State today and there is a part of the story that Governor Yahaya Bello built a palace for the king but the king refused to move into the palace because he claims that his palace is better than the one built by the governor.

"The king was supposed to have moved to the place before today that Buhari would visit the state but he did not move in. So people are speculating that the explosion could have deliberately been triggered in his palace to force him to move to the new palace built by Governor Yahaya Bello.[/b]

How true is this ?

The Nigerian Air force is grossly incompetent. Every six months they have one training accident or another.

afrodoc:
The only coding I know is when you are secretly kpanning a babe and you don’t want your friends to know.

That makes us two doc.

As in make my friend dey try hook me up with babe wey I don already browse her website.

Our next two matches are vs Brighton & Newcastle; two great attacking teams. If we beat the two of them, I might start considering us as title contenders. I will assume the only threat we have is Man City and the Norwegian Giant playing as striker for them.

On a side note, I seek for forgiveness for ever wishing we signed Maddison of Leicester instead of Odegaard . Odegaard na agba baller! I think Arteta Knows the kind of player he wants and those players aren't disappointing him also.

[color=royalblue]This theory is relative too. Your guy don find love before, so it was very easy to continue when the money show.

Assuming he didn't meet her before, he would have started his relationship struggle after making money, and God knows when he would have found love.

That is why you see men looking for a serious relationship that will lead to marriage at 40 to 45 years

You are not wrong oh, but this life no get written rule [/color]

Yeah, there’s no written rule to life but it’s easier to get taken serious by opposite sexx when it’s obvious u have things going well for u. It applies to both gender .

I don’t think she would’ve given him a chance if he was still struggling to feed himself .

reccy:
Exactly. He was bluntly telling things I need to do while in school to make my pocket smile.

Imagine him telling me ah should forget ladies for now? Ah con dy think of BlueRayDick date yesterday. No be person be dat

This is the best advice anybody can give you now , please follow it religiously . Nobody likes to suffer , not men and definitely not ladies . Hustle first and every other thing will be added unto you ( most especially the ladies )

One of my guys and his gf back then in school got married this year . They went their separate ways because baba was broke and the babe was equally from a very humble background . They both focused on their focus . More than 10 years after , they reconnected and continued their love story where they stopped .

My guy is going to Canada by 2023 because she already has PR and filing for him to join her as her legal spouse . ( They married this year ) .

E get reason why the wise sage Davido sang “ Love is sweet o , when money enter love is sweeter “

[color=royalblue]I think Bolanle's family should sue the NPF.

We don't get to see victims take this route[/color]

The issue here is this ; they will sue the NPF and win the case for real . But they will have to join a queue of so Maby Nigerians who have been
Waiting for FG to pay them compensation for damages won against the FG in court .

Do u know that baba suwe challenged NDLEA in court after his drug deal scandal and he was awarded 1million by the court for his struggles ? Guess what ? baba suwe didn’t get the 1 million till his demise which was 10 years after the court ordered him to be paid by the FG through NDLEA !

raumdeuter:
If you have been in a Nigerian police station before and see the type of policemen we have some are so high on alcohol and weed that they are even a danger to their colleagues

I have seen where fellow officers lock up their colleague for being too wasted while on duty on different type of drugs

Imagine that type enter road. I remember when some people were telling Sodik that he should have dragged with the police and not dropped money.

That type of high like a kite police, Its even a privilege that he is asking you for money and if you can afford it give him and leave his presence fast before the demon inside him comes out

Twice I’ve been in a serous situation with police officers in my adult life and some of those two times I was arrested while the second time I wasn’t not because I did anything right or wrong but because the not-so-drunk officers were sober enough to hear me and decide I wasn’t a threat to anybody .

When people were mocking iamoyindamola I knew it was just trolling cos nobody will stand in front of a trigger happy Olopa and be outing the constitution .

Today is 27th December 2022 . I can tell I that if u go to Campbell street on Lagos island close to freedom park , u will meet Olopa smoking weed and drinking bottles of beer at hotel Campbell very close to the infamous lion building police annex on Lagos island . Those guys drink and smoke and then get posted to maintain law and order in the Lagos island metropolis . If u encounter and survive this guys , u should do testimony for 31st December .

DeadPresidents:
David Hundeyin is totally spittin’ here. I know for a fact that getting admission into any of the defense bodies in Nigeria is heavily plagued with dense nepotism.

Back in the beginning of Jonathan’s tenure when Brig. General Amasaowei ran the Nigerian Defense Academy, I was a web development contractor with the company in charge of managing the admission portal (printing pins, providing enrollment forms etc). It was considered top-secret by the military as we all had to visit NDA Headquarters (in Kaduna) for monthly briefings and updates.

I was really young them and eager so i also served as a helpline admin for prospectives navigating the portal. That shit was an eye-opener menh. I got a lot of calls from applicants begging for a guaranteed slot and willing to pay up to 2 million if you can guarantee them a slot. The company head had senators begging him with wads of cash to get their ward into the NDA.

Omo, I gats clear them say I no get that kain influence for the selection process.

The kain nepotism wey i see made me give up on Nigeria before I even started life as an independent young man.

This place is 7-layers of fuckéd.

The kind corruption wey dey this country, more like we wear agbada with corruption embroidery......

One of my guys where I used to live before, he told me he had to take a paycut of at least 80k to get into Lagos state health service Commision. He's a medical doctor already enjoying his life as a doctor working in a cool private medical facility. His mum is a chief matron in one of the general hospitals nearing her retirement.

So she persuaded him to cross over to government owned hospitals cos she feels he will make more money in the future being a CMD in a general hospital Than doing his thing in the private sector.

Wahala wey dey this country, whoever becomes president no go fit solve am finish.

There are differences between police and olopa

Olopa no send u. Na why when afrodoc asked why I was giving money to a policeman at checkpoint without being pressured, I know say he no too dey familiar with wetin dey occur these days.

Imagine that man who shot The lawyer is an ASP after 33 years in the police force. Something wey be say if I use B.Sc join police I go dey commissioned as same ASP in that same year.

The inequalities too much

izzou:
[color=royalblue]I agree with that NPA one.

I have a church member who retired from the Police force. She couldn't even get her son an admission into NPA

It was that hard[/color]

When I finished B.Sc, I made myself a promise that I wasn't going to apply for any job with any government agency be it NDLEA, EFCC, Nigerian customs, NPA, NDA, NNPC, DPR, ICPC, CBN, etc. This was because I was privileged to already know how to use nairaland and the freelers I got was u don't get into any of those Govt agencies because u are intelligent and have passed all necessary stages of tests and interviews ; rather it bothers on who and who connects u.

I have a family member who got an appointment with LASG sometimes around 2019. She's tried getting in based on her knowledge of the field and experience in the job, but she was never considered till she pressed the buttons we've always ignored trusting merit. Today we all know better.
