DeadPresidents:
I wouldn't put too much stock in Raumdeuter's genocidal/xenophobic comments made earlier. Anyone on NL circa 2010, 2011 & 2012 knew tribalistic convos were like inter-house sports.

You had Dayokanu, Desola, and some other staunch Yoruba tribalists vs the Igbo tribalists. Both sides wrote unprintable stuff. I just laughed as I read them because I knew that was not how the real world works.

Pretty sure Dayokanu's favorite ex was an Igbo babe sef

There was one other guy, I think his moniker is Bluetooth.

Tataffo:
Peter obi also invested the state money in other companies and banks and made sure they could run independent of FAAC, so how's that conflict of interest?

I'm sure if it was wrong or against the law,Efcc and icpc will be after his ass but you know Agenda must agend....Bring out where it is wrong in the Nigerian law or constitution

Investing state money in private business where u are a shareholder is no different from u setting up a company as governor, awarding government contract to that company and they execute it.

They are both wrong.

[color=royalblue]The NIN should be the only requirement IMO

A lot of Nigerians have the NIN. To have a functioning phone line, you need a NIN. To open a bank account, renew your passport and a lot of other stuffs, you need a NIN.

The NIN has your photo and your biometrics; the same thing on your PVC

This PVC is just a white elephant project. NIN can conveniently screen out those who are not up to 18 sef.

Left for me, anybody with a NIN should be able to vote. [/color]

Baba , I get friend wey never register NIN till date and he has a functioning phone line. Maybe he bought the line pre-registered, I don't know sha.

Tataffo:
Why are there no calls to scrap voting with PVC,that is another election fraud on its own...why can't we just vote with a recognizable valid id's like passport,drivers license,school id,nin,bvn.....

It is a move to disenfranchise a lot of People

How many people have International passport, Drivers's license, School Id, BVN and NIN?

1. Most people not planning to travel do not see the need to pay money above the minimum wage to get a passport.

2. Most people without cars or do not intend to drive in the foreseeable future do not have drivers license.

3. An illiterate will obviously not have school ID.

4. Those who are petty traders, fishermen, subsistence farmers etc do not operate bank accounts and certainly don't have BVN.

5. I know enough people who still don't have NIN till date for reasons best known to them.

My friend, u will end up disenfranchising more people if u adopt any of those means of ID in place of PVC.

He's stating unfounded concoctions and passing them off as existential truths, and scientific truths too.

I think he's crazy.

You made me remember oba of lagoon

I need you to read what you wrote again.
All Yoruba kings trace their ancestry to a first mythical King who they believe literally slid down a chain from heaven like some prehistoric Lil Nas X.

The difference in legal systems between North and South today is that the Lugard refused to directly intervene in the affairs of the North unlike the what he instituted in the South.

For example, the Nigerian Criminal Code we use today to prosecute Criminals down south was introduced by this same Lord Lugard, and our Legal System is based on English Common Law.

You're not wrong in your assessment of their culture amd norms up there. However I think you failed to account for Lugard's very deliberate decision not to dasi oro awon Hausa as a matter of colonial policy, which is why Sharia law made it into in our Constitution at Independence.

Baba, Yoruba's despite having kings "selected" by the oracle have council of chiefs who are empowered to depose the king if they believe he's not serving the interest of the people. They have powerful chiefs who even waged war against sitting kings (Bashorun Gaa waged war agsinst a sitting Alaafin and pushed him to suicide sef) This is what is obtainable in Yoruba land prior to the colonialists' coming.

Lugard saw the legal system in the 3 major regions and tried to force indirect system on all but it didn't succeed as he had planned. That's why u see Yorubas fighting agbekoya war shortly after independence. People listen to their kings, but won't hesitate to protest anything they feel is against them

sod09:
Then why are you blaming Sharia law
Kwankasor must have seen this and tried to implement equal law
Same Kano that useless hisbah police arrested and disrupted a wedding because naira Marley song was played
The following week buhari and his family hosted a wedding and explicit Marley song was played with nothing happening
Only for our resident imam to come out and say Sharia favour leaders

#slavementality

At least u can see where I'm coming from.

nihilistjnr:
Yes.

Thier legal system is a direct legacy of Lugards policies

Nah. They've always been like that before the British came, in fact that's why indirect rule was successful in the northern part of Nigeria.

Most Northerners by virtue of their culture, history, traditions and religion have always been submissive and receptive to what the leaders say and believe in. They see leaders as being "chosen" by God to lead them and they listen to the with little or no dissenting voices to counter the leader's opinions.

Same can't be said of Igbo's and Yorubas pre-colonial Era. Yorubas have King makers dethroning kings that has fallen out with the people, while igbos don't even have kings. Everyman is a king in his own small way.

nihilistjnr:
That's the legacy of Lugard not Kwankwaso. They never been free to talk in that region

Luggard? How?

Are u referring to the indirect rule system in the north during colonial Era?

Sod09 this is one of the legacies of Kwankwanso in Kano.

Imagine say dem dey flog u because u question "integrity" of a man captured on camera stuffing his "babariga" with bribes in dollars.

My guy quickly sympathize with him lecturer and drag Ngige/Buhari wey he dey hail for nairaland .

I like ur style , do something before something do u .

Only Gabriel didn’t make it amongst the 3 Brazilians in our squad .

raumdeuter:
I called the debate just BBNaija entertainment and many people here were angry

Blueraydick theflint your MCM just called the debate a Jerry Springer show

So you want Tinubu to be attending Jerry springer?

Thats for people like Obi, Serious candidates are elsewhere not on Jerry Springer

What Tinubu sees sitting down Obi cannot see in 3 lifetimes.

24hrs later, Obi people are now wishing they followed Tinubus lead

Jagaban - Naturally ahead

Baba I no get strength for any back and forth argument this evening that won’t yield anything .

Make una enjoy , I will pass .

PendragonVII:
It wasn’t only pdp vote that brought him into power. Seyi looseguard the other small party that vote him that year. Those party might cut deal with Teslim this time.

Yeah, dem accord and co.

Itsrm:
I understand the limitations of my small poll but I found it odd that not a single person I asked said he was voting against him. Let's even leave that. There's also another angle I'm considering . You know Makinde will most likely throw his weight behind Tinubu for the presidential election. Tinubu has to scratch his back. I even believe some deals are being struck right now.

Whatever deal they are going to make, I doubt Folarin will sacrifice his own governorship ambition just because Makinde will be supporting Tinubu and allow Makinde win second term unchallenged.

enigma0:
You're right on this. I do day this to most of PDP members here that if care isn't taken, over confidence go cost Makinde his 2nd term bid, tho he seems to have the odds in it's favour but he'd stepped too much on toes, forgot some he made alliances with before

That's the problem, if he's already not in good terms with his own party members within the state they may work against him while he's busy jumping length and breadth of the country with their G-5 gang.

Itsrm:
I am. I sampled lots and lots of opinions. One told me the road to his village which is over an hour drive was tarred by Seyi Makinde. Another trader told me the previous government stopped them from selling by the roadside and seyi gave them that freedom again and that they can't gamble with other candidates.

Those who are Civil servants told me he pays them on time before the month ends.

Seyi winning that election is cast in stone

I hope u know Ibadan is just one part of Oyo State (Just like let's say how Ikeja is to Lagos)... You have other parts of Oyo State like dem Ogbomosho, Oke-Ogun, Iseyin, igboora, etc. Until u sample the opinions of people in those aforementioned places, u shouldn't be too sure o.

Ortom sympathising with Wike.

Sir Roland17, I know you may have a busy schedule. Just watch from the 5th minute


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oGpkS5T1iRo

Who I pity most in all this is Seyi Makinde, he's taking a big risk with this their G-5 thing by aligning with governors that are done with their second term like Wike, Ikpeazu, Ortom and Ugwuanyi. Those guys don't have anything to lose if their misadventure doesn't end well dem Amaechi that year.

Seyi Makinde is not sure of re-election yet; I saw a video of one of his supporters lamenting how Seyi has abandoned them. The guy was talking in his parlor and expressing his anger with Seyi Makinde to his friends. Then there's APC with Teslim Folarin breathing down his neck in his state. I just hope he's not being overconfident jumping up and down with Wike when he should be mending fences in his own state.

The root cause of all these problems is shaa Vladimir Putin.

TrebleChamp:
Bit Dayo is pinning everything that happened during and years after Obi tenure in Anambra on Peter Obi ...

That’s a propaganda that is dead on arrival ; we already discussed that and he was unable to prove how issues like the Awkuzu saga are Peter Obi’s fault while Ambode/Sanwoolu is not guilty of same in Lagos where Kolade Johnson and several others were killed by SARS

We must learn a lesson

William Saliba and Gabriel partnership in the league this season;

13 games played

raumdeuter:
Do you believe Tinubu and Atiku will finish 1st and 2nd despite not coming for debate and even if they don't show up for any debate?

Yes or No?

Is it about who wins and who loses to u?

raumdeuter:
Do you think the 2 who missed tonight debate will still end up first and 2nd? If not will you stake money on it

If you think Atiku and Tinubu will end 1st and 2nd debate or no debate even if Obi spends 10hrs on debates daily

So what's the point of the debate when nothing will change with the real voters

Atiku has been in Nigerian election space for over 30yrs and told you that voters are not online.

The few of us on TV online and SM overrate our numbers compared to those who are not

Those of us online and have access to media discuss with people who are not on a daily basis . We engage cleaners , security men, bus drivers etc on a daily . We help to shape their opinions based on information available to use on the aforementioned media.

I won’t forget 2014/2015 when the barber that cuts my hair in the north ( a Yoruba man from Oke-Ogun part of Oyo state ) was always eager to see me just to have my opinion on politics in General and the candidates for the election. Man practically spends almost an hour cutting my hair so we can keep conversing.

Like I said earlier , people who are undecided abound everywhere . Most of these people will be influenced by the person of those analyzing the political situations to them.

raumdeuter:
Osinbajo facing Buhari is the stuff political novices say. Just like they want Tinubu to counter Buhari

Now we will see how many votes Kola Abiola will get. And compare to Fela Durotoye

Kola Abiola was not visible in the race up till this moment . I want to believe it’s his sister(Tundun’s) influence that even made him to be included in the invite list. We are talking of frontline candidates and not just dem Hamza Mustapha, Sowore etc dem kinda presidential candidates
